. month of December/January. They felt it was on good financial footing. The reserve does not jeopardize the account. Mr. Lindberg said that he was keeping in close touch with the clinic, and also noted that November and December were the first months in which any declining revenue took place. The decline was due to the Christmas holiday and some confusion about public relations which has since been corrected. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution.

Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. III. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Street Vacations 1. Street Vacation for Riverside Realty (River's Edge) (SV 80-2) (map distributed) e Manager introduced John Porter, Planning Director, to answer questions. The Manager indicated that there will be some discussion with application relating to the price. Staff appraisal was for $8,000. If the dispute could not be resolved adequately today, then staff would recommend that the council only give first reading at this time and direct staff to proceed with negotiations. If staff can successfully negotiate they will note the difference in the second reading. If there is agreement at this public hearing, they would recommend approval of the vacation. Public hearing was opened. Jeff Seigal, 247 North Grant Street, presented a letter signed by members of the Whiteaker neighborhood and adjacent properties, requesting the vacation not be granted at this time. He said the price of $8,000 is too small for the property in question. Riverside Realty acquired the adjacent property, only slightly larger in size, at a price of $30,000. He suggested the City grossly undervalues its property. As far as the PUD, the question before the council is not approval of a vacation request, but whether to expand the PUD. The Riverside Realty lot and the vacated property would make additions to the River's Edge Apartments possible. He read the distributed letter asking the council not to grant the vaC'at ion. Marlene Nelson, 23 Cedar, said, she lives next to the River's Edge Apartments. She did door-to-door work on the North Jackson Street, and was appalled by the reactions of people in the area to the idea of the vacation and the expansion of the apartment complex. The residents felt they did not have control over the area they lived in and they felt that they did not trust the City. There was nothing they could do about it. She asked the council to consider bringing the issue before the Whiteaker Community Council for discussion before any final 4It action. MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 28, 1981 Page 5
