e e: ~~ Answering questions from Mr. Miller, Mr. Gleason said he does not expect the bids to be more than $400,000. He discussed the bid and construction process. He said the staff had done a good jOb of coordinating the project through a complicated review process. He said that the council directed that the project be put out to bid this year. Better cost estimates could be made after the project is designed, but it probably could not be constructed this year if it had to be reviewed again by the council. If the estimated costs greatly exceed the budget estimate after the design work is done, the council will be asked to review the project again. Ms. Wooten said the motion indicated the project should be completed in the most cost efficient way and, preferably, for under $400,000. Mr. Hansen would support the project. He thought the wide sidewalks might restrict the turning of the buses. If so, he would like to know it quickly. He hoped the staff would work closely with LTD and LCC. He did not want additional parking spaces eliminated to provide parking for the buses. Mr. Holmer was concerned because there was no "cap" on the cost. He emphasized that the project should be reviewed by the council if the design work indicates the cost will exceed $400,000. Roll call vote; the motion carried 6:2. Ms. Wooten, Mr. Holmer, Mr. Hansen, Ms. Bascom, Mr. Rutan, and Mr. Miller aye; Ms. Schue and Ms. Ehrman voted nay. Ms. Wooten adjourned the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Eugene Urban renewal Agency and reconvened the meeting of the Eugene City Council. Res. No. 3910--A resolution of the City Council modifying the Urban Renewal Plan and the pedestrian mall by opening Willamette Street between 10th and 11 avenues to vehicular traffic. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to adopt the resolu- tion and approve the design of the street recommended by the Planning Commission which includes wide sidewalks on each side at 10th avenue and on the east side at 11th Avenue. Roll call vote; the motion carried 6:2. Ms. Wooten, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Holmer, Ms. Bascom, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Rutan voted aye; Ms. Schue and Ms. Ehrman voted nay. The first vote on the motion was 8:0. During the vote on CB 2816, Ms. Schue and Ms. Ehrman said they had misunderstood what was being voted on and wished to vote against Resolution No. 3910. Ms. Wooten accepted the change. CB 28l6--An ordinance concerning the Eugene pedestrian mall; amending Section 5.010 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and declaring an emergency. Mr. Hansen moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. MINUTES--Eugene City Council Apri 1 8, 1985 Page 7
