<br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Calvert indicated that a subcommittee is working on the issue of the <br />downtown transfer station and solicited discussion. Responding to a question <br />from Ms. Bascom about the need for a covered downtown station, Mr. Andersen <br />said that the committee is looking at a rectangular configuration for the new <br />transfer station; such a station would probably involve mixed-use, and <br />although this might not mean an enclosed structure, some protection against <br />the elements is needed. <br /> <br />Ms. Ehrman asked whether it is possible for the City to use money generated <br />from vehicle registration to help fund the transfer station. Ms. Loobey said <br />that if State Ballot Measure One is approved statewide, local option motor <br />vehicle registration fees could be used for transit. <br /> <br />Mr. Brandt pointed out that it is not money concerns, as LTD has the <br />potential to pay for a new station, but ambivalence regarding site location, <br />that is preventing transfer station relocation. He stressed that money will <br />not be spent on a station until a definitive plan for street opening is set <br />forth. <br /> <br />Mr. Andersen commented that one of the proposed sites is a mixed-use <br />development on the lot across from City Hall, and asked for the council's <br />reaction to sharing its proposed City Hall building with buses on the bottom <br />floor. General council sentiment was that the City would be willing to <br />consider this as an option. <br /> <br />Mr. Bennett suggested that the City Council and the transit district board <br />e on a quarterly basis. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. <br /> <br />Respect~.lY sub~~:~ <br /> <br />:z2E~~ <br /> <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Traci Northman) <br />mncc 021290-530 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br />Dinner/Work Session <br /> <br />February 12, 1990 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />
