Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read a second time and that enactment be considered at that time. Councilor Bettman asked that the text of her questions to staff be incorporated into the meeting minutes: From Jim Croteau, Planning and Development Department To Bonny Bettman, City Council Subject: Questions about Public Facility Plan on 12/10 Council Agenda Bonny, here are the answers to the questions you raised about the Public Facility Plan packet that is scheduled for adoption tonight. You had questions about certain projects as noted below: Council Packet page 251, Table 1, Water System Improvements, Project 107, Greenhill/Airport mainline - This project would connect a new waterline (12 to 16-inch) between existing water lines on Barger and Airport Road. In talking to EWEB, this is a long term improvement to provide reliability and back-up. From what I know of water system planning, a looped water line system is very important especially for fire flow requirements. In case one side of the water system goes down, the other side of the loop can be used to continue reliable service. The long-term fire flow and water capacity needs of the airport dictate such a redundant water system. Council Packet page 253, Table 3, Wastewater System Improvements, Project 100, West Eugene Bypass (48-inch) - The wastewater system in the BetheI-Danebo area has been constructed in phases depending on development. Generally, development west of Beltline Road has proceeded from the north to the south. This planned wastewater line will link existing systems to provide complete sewer service coverage in the BetheI-Danebo area west of Beltline and inside the existing urban growth boundary. The service area of this line will be the Royal nodal development area. Council Packet page 257, Table 7, EWEB Planned Electrical Facilities, Project 2, 115KV Transmission Line - (two alternate routes) - This future project would link a new transmission line between the existing BPA Lane substation south of West 11th, with the EWEB substation site in Santa Clara on Irvington Road. Two alternate routes for this line are shown. The first route would MINUTES--Eugene City Council December 10, 2001 Page 13 Regular Session
