<br /> 1 <br /> Ms. Andersen explained that the State was initiating its Capital .Improve- <br /> ment Program Update would be adopting its Six-Year Plan in July 1986, the <br />e process for that adoption beginning in January 1985. She explained that the <br /> City of Eugene must have an election on Phases II and III of the widening <br /> project, which falls under the Historic Tree Ordinance, in order to be <br /> competitive in securing funds for those phases. She said staff was <br /> recommending an election be held that would incorporate the widening phases as <br /> well as the 6th/7th Avenues Extension Project. Referring to a timeline which <br /> will allow for such a process, Ms. Andersen explained that the State was <br /> preparing an environmental impact statement for the extension project, to be <br /> available for public review in early 1986, with a possible alignment <br /> determination by June 1985. She commented that if the City does not have a <br /> project listed for construction funding in the draft Six-Year Plan which is <br /> presented to the State Transportation Commission, it will be difficult to get <br /> a project added prior to adoption of the plan in July 1986. <br /> Ms. Andersen then reviewed the proposed timeline for the design and funding of <br /> Phases II and III of the 6th/7th Avenues Widening Project and the EIS review <br /> for the 6th/7th Avenues Extension Project, the former to begin in December, <br /> 1984, and ending in September, 1985, and the latter to begin in early 1985. <br /> She explained that the timeline would allow the City to meet deadlines for <br /> elections and for incorporation of the project in the State's Six-Year Plan <br /> Update. <br /> In response to a question by Councilor Ehrman regarding the language of the <br /> Historic Tree Ordinance, Ms. Andersen said it was unclear how much preliminary <br /> work was required but that any election on the subsequent project phases would <br /> have to clearly identify where any impact on historic trees would occur. City <br />- Attorney Tim Sercombe explained that the charter amendment required publication <br /> of the proposed widening and designation of those trees to be affected for <br /> four consecutive weeks prior to the election, thus requiring specific informa- <br /> tion to be developed before any election could be held. In response to a <br /> question by Councior Wooten regarding the bids on the project, Mr. Sercombe <br /> said the State could keep the bids open with the concurrence of the bidders <br /> and delay the award; however, there has been some difficulty with the low <br /> bidder and the State was inclined to reject all bids and rebid the project. <br /> Responding to a related question, Ms. Andersen said the project plan incor- <br /> porated a weave or shifting of the center line three or four feet. She said <br /> the plan also included special conditions and requirements for handling trees <br /> in the constuction area. She said she was not sure how any more specific <br /> conditions for tree maintenance could be incorporated into the plan. She <br /> added that it would be possible for the City arborist to review the bid <br /> specifications before being submitted for bid. Mr. Gleason said the City <br /> could assume greater responsibility for post-project maintenance to mitigate <br /> any project shock on the trees. <br /> In response to a question by Councilor Obie regarding any financial impact of <br /> the two election dates, Ms. Andersen said that staff did not have any projected <br /> cost to the City since the project was State-funded. Mr. Gleason explained <br /> that a special election would cost approximately $15,000 to $17,000 while the <br /> cost of the March election would be shared with Lane Community College and the <br /> Eugene school districts. <br />e <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 15, 1984 Page 2 <br />
