CB 1961--An ordinance changing the street name from Wilson Street to Wilson Drive. e Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with the unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously, and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All Councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18468. E. Northwest Natural Gas Franchise Renewal Manager referred to the memo, explaining the changes from the previous franchise. One change would be granting authority for the City to ask the company to leave in the case of traffic congestion or to clear the roadway. The other would grant the City authority to tax. It is in order for adoption. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. CB 1916--Granting to Northwest Natural Gas, its successors, and assigns, for the period of 20 years from and after the effective date for this ordinance, a non-exclusive right and franchise to lay, maintain, and operate gas mains, pipes, and appurtenances in the present and future streets, alleys, public easements, walkways, bikeways, - and public places in the city of Eugene, Oregon, and thereof and others for light, heat, power, and other purposes, providing for the payment of compensation to the City, and providing for the repeal of Ordinance No. 11549, passed by the Common Council June 13, 1959, and approved by the Mayor July 14, 1959. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, 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. Motion carried unanimously. Manager noted that a franchise ordinance could not be approved and given final passage at the same meeting, so it was determined to hold over the final passage to another meeting. F. Condemnation of Park Land Acquisition: Scobert Property Manager said this comes before the Council as a result of a court case which the City has lost in Lane County Circuit Court. The judge has said that the City must pass an ordinance instead of a resolution. The City feels that the original process has been correct and in accordance with the Charter and the laws of the State. It is, however, more expeditious to bring an ordinance before the Council and proceed with the condemnation process. ~ lf4LJ 8/13/79--16
