Vacation of Street and Alley Rights-of-Way (City of Eugene: EWEB) (SV 85-2) (memo, map distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Jim Croteau of the Planning Department gave the staff report. He said the Downtown Commission, the Planning Commission, and the City Council reviewed and commented on the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWES) Master Plan which was adopted by the EWEB Board of Directors recently. The proposed vacation was indicated in the master plan. The area of the vacation will be used for outside storage and parking. Answering questions from Councilor Rutan, Mr. Croteau said EWEB will not com- pensate the City for the area to be vacated. Mr. Gleason said EWEB is a department of the City and the City's policy is that City departments are not billed for vacated public land. The requested vacation would transfer the land from street use to utility use. When the Parks Department requests a vacation, the department is not charged. Technically, the transfer of the property on the southwest corner of High Street and 8th Avenue was affected by an agreement between EWEB and the City involving charges to the general fund for water main use, a transfer of land from utility use to general government e MINUTES--Eugene City Council December 18, 1985 Page 5
