e e e FEMA maps indicate part of the Amazon channel as floodway. FEMA regulations permit development in the floodway if the development is constructed so that the level of the water in a floodway is not changed. The proposed code amend- ment will permit construction in the Amazon floodway only. Answering questions from Mr. Holmer and Ms. Bascom, Mr. Chenkin said there will be no changes in provisions for the Willamette f100dway. He discussed ways of building so that the water level of a flood will not be raised. City Engineer Bert Teitzel said most of a flood will be carried in the channel, but the Amazon channel was not built to carry as much water as is being put through it. Consequently, shallow flood water will be carried by the flood- way. A diversion channel would not have to be very large. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. There being no requests to testify, he closed the public hearing. CB 2830--An ordinance concerning development in the Floodway; amending Section 9.607 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Hansen, 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.

ROUTINE ITEM: IMPROVEMENT PETITION FOR SANITARY AND STORM SEWERS IN NIXON STREET (accessible costs: sanitary sewer--59.7%; City cost: storm sewer--$15,000) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item.
