. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION FOR EXPENDITURE OF CARPOOL PROJECT FUNDS (memo, resolution distributed) VI. Mr. Gleason stated that Elaine Stewart, Paratransit Coordinator, was available to answer questions. He also noted that in the February 4, 1981, memo from Don Allen, the figures were incorrect. They should have been an expenditure of $64,000 of Federal money and $8,000 of matching funds from the City of Eugene for continuation of the carpool project through November 30, 1981. This resolution is necessary to be able to expend the funds. Res. No. 3473--A resolution authorizing execution of Contract No. 7435, the State of Oregon, Department of Transportation, con- cerning an Urban System Carpool Project Agreement. Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. VII. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTRACTS PROPOSAL--RESPONSE TO COUNCIL INQUIRIES (memo and additional information distributed) e Mr. Gleason stated that this item is for the council's information. Mr. Obie stated a concern that the City should be careful about the matching moneys as there should be a public benefit to publicly owned land. He does not feel moneys should be granted to fix up businesses such as the 5th Street Market. He thinks the benefit should be for public property, not private land. Ms. Miller stated that this could go to private, non-profit community service organizations. Private buildings were discussed by the Community Development Committee, and it was noted that other money is available there for rehabilita- tion. Mr. Lindberg agreed that there should be a public benefit. If a neigh- borhood organization is to be the sole initiator so the request had to go through the group, it would assist in defining which are eligible projects. If the neighborhood group felt the funds should be used to improve private land, then that would be agreeable. He indicated agreement with Mr. Obie. Ms. Schue stated that if the neighborhood groups were involved it would be good, but in some areas they are not very active. Room should be left for groups of private citizens to apply. Ms. Wooten stated that the memo indicates this is going into the Tier 2 portion of the budget and she thinks perhaps the Budget Committee should decide that. Chris Hofmann, HCC, stated that this will have to go through the City Manager's Office budget process. Mr. Gleason noted that that is the previous direction from the council. However, the Budget Committee could change whether it is actually placed in Tier 2. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 11, 1981 Page 10
