<br /> Res. No. 3262--Authorizing the institution of proceedings in eminent <br /> domain for the acquisition by condemnation of right-of- e <br /> way for a bicycle/pedestrian path and the right-of-way <br /> for construction of a storm drainage system from Roosevelt <br /> Boulevard and Maple Street to Beltline Road west was read <br /> by number and title only. <br /> Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the <br /> resolution. <br /> Mr. Delay commented that, because of an unappealed ruling of a judge, <br /> the City was previously required to adhere to an ORS statute requiring <br /> the adoption of an ordinance, rather than a resolution, in order to <br /> exercise the right of condemnation. He noted that this was a resolu- <br /> tion and wondered if this was the correct format. Assistant Manager <br /> said that the ruling dealt with acquisition of parkland only. <br /> Ms. Miller wondered when the issue of design of the facility will come <br /> up. Don Allen, Public Works Director, said it is in the design phase <br /> and staff will have it ready to appear before Council in a bid call <br /> this fall. He is aware of the problems of bike paths by drainage <br /> ways and was interested in Council IS comment on any specific concerns. <br /> Ms. Miller referred to the Amazon Channel development and said the <br /> Emerald and Amazon Channel people felt that it could have been designed <br /> to be more attractive. Public Works Director said that, due to <br /> federal funding requirements, many criteria were responsible for its <br /> design, i.e., Cyclone fences, etc. Mr. Keller added that perhaps <br /> Cyclone fences provide safety for folks using a bike path. Ms. Miller e <br /> reiterated her hope that criteria are being considered to afford the <br /> best aesthetic design possible. <br /> Vote was taken on the motion, which passed unanimously. <br /> III.
