Mr. Lieuallen asked whether the cost would be absorbed by the city or state, to which Mr. Mills-Erickson replied that the local government would absorb the cost. Manager noted this resolution would appear on the April 11 Council agenda. Gilham Road Paving Project, Beltline to Crescent (Report, map, and design distributed to Council) Don Allen, Public Works Department, noted the staff hearings had been held and the project was at the point now where the first public hearing should be held with authorization from the City Council to go to final design, and the second public hearing would be held to award the contract. He noted this was a Council-initiated project, and that the Council had toured the area. In referring to discussion held at the March 28 Council meeting regarding peti- tions for improvements, Mr. Allen said that the City does not have to have any petition for any improvements which the Eugene City Council desires. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to schedule a public hearing April 25, 1977. Motion carried unanimously. Field Burning Scott Lieuallen reported on the testimony he had given on the hearings on the field burning bills at the State Legislature earlier in the day. He noted there was some confusion over the past poli- cies the city had taken, with the confusion arising out of whether or not the machine field burning was a viable alternative and what tools were available to measure pollution in the air. He noted that the position he took was that the city supports the proposed phase-down, the increase in fees for field burning acreage, and the Field Sanitation C~mmittee as it is presently constituted. He said the League of Women Voters had presented a very strong testimony supporting the city's position. He noted that the growers' bill could possibly be passed out of Committee, and the future of the City's bill did not look too good. He said he had been questioned regarding what the City of Eugene was doing to try to avoid pollution in the air in Eugene and there will prob- ably be pressure in the future to consider emission test legislation. Other Matters Manager noted the Legislative Subcommittee would be meeting Thursday, March 31 at noon in the MCNutt Room; and the Room Tax Subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
