the parks had worked, including how many exclusion notices have been issued, how many citations for curfew violations been issued, and for how many years. Mr. Rayor said that the issue was a very difficult one. He noted changes made to improve the ordinances by the council. Ms. Nathanson said that the intent of her questions was to ensure that there were good responses to issues raised in public testimony. She noted her previous support for the ordinances and indicated she had not changed her support. Mayor Torrey noted that the council would take final action on the issue on March 8. He briefly recessed the meeting at 9 p.m. He reconvened the meeting at 9:05 p.m. 6.ACTION: APPROVAL OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM David Reinhard of the Public Works Department reminded the council it held a public hearing on the agenda item on February 8,1999. The meeting packet included responses to issues raised at that time. He referred to page 28 of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and noted a correction regarding the Broadway- Charnelton parking garage construction, saying it should be deleted because the project had already been completed. He recommended that the council adopt the ClP with the changes recommended by the Planning Commission and Budget Committee. Ms. Nathanson said that she had been under the impression that staff would be recommending the ClP be amended with language regarding the sidewalk program. Mr. Reinhard noted that the Budget Committee had not recommended funding the program. Ms. Nathanson offered the following text: 'Missing sidewalks segments will be completed as possible considering cost and benefit, especially where a sidewalk is not available on a collector or arterial or on at least one side of a local street." She said that such language would authorize projects not currently funded for which money may be available in the future. City Attorney Glenn Klein indicated that it would be appropriate to include such language in the CIP, which authorized projects but did not provide fiscal authorization. Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Nathanson, to adopt the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal years 2000-2005, with the modifications recommended by the Planning Commission and Budget Committee. Mr. Kelly moved, seconded by Ms. Taylor, to amend the motion by deferring the $300,000 line for Airport automobile parking expansion project until fiscal year 2002, and to further direct staff to explore use of these or other funds to help provide public transportation to the airport, both door-to-door and from the downtown Lane Transit District station. Responding to a request for input from Mr. Lee, Mr. Reinhard said that the expansion project was included in the prior CIP and the existing Airport Master Plan. The council's review of the new master plan would give it another opportunity to discuss the project. He pointed out that construction was not proposed until 2001.
