e e e In response to a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Gleason said the design and bid process for the Highway 99N--Phase II project would take place next year. Mr. Green said he had been under the impression that funds for this project were already in place. Mr. Gleason said he would review this issue and pro- vide the council with more information on it. He said a great deal of staff time was being .spent on the Ferry Street Bridge project. Mayor Miller said the bridge project should not take away from the importance of work on High- way 99. Mr. Boles noted that citizens have already spent a great deal of time working on the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) Update. Mr. Gleason said staff was recommending that work on this project be delayed to February 1992 from May 1991. Mr. Boles said he did not think this delay was appropriate. Ms. Bascom noted that a group was already at work on the Urban Forest Manage- ment Plan. Mayor Miller said the council was raising some difficult issues for staff. He pointed out that in spite of council's objections to certain delays in its work plan, the council wants a quality Eugene Decision process. Mr. Boles said Eugene Decisions would probably require more staff time 1n1- tially than in later phases. He suggested the council review its work plan in another quarter. Mr. Gleason said staff would prepare options for issues such as CATS and the Retail Task Force Report. The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~~'rl Micheal Gleason, City Manager (Recorded by Kris Bloch) mncc 051391 MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 13, 1991 Page 9
