· Community involvement in the design. · Acquisition of several buildings between Franklin and 8th. Exhibits 4 and 5 to this action plan include details of the process and issues related to land use permitting, PEP! projects and building permits. Phase Three Construction Phase The Construction Phase will include construction of both the hospital facility and the Patterson Street underpass. Each project is expected to take about two years to construct, once the respect- ive designs are complete. Some of the activities undertaken by the City during this phase will include: · Monitor and inspect new construction at the new hospital site. · Construct the Patterson Street underpass project. Staff assigned: The staff assigned to the Action Plan include Dennis Taylor (City Manager), Kurt Corey (Public Works), Susan Muir (Planning & Development), Jim Carlson (Assistant City Manager), Tom Tallon (Fire & EMS), Matt Shuler (Fire & EMS), Keli Osborn (Planning & Development) and Sue Cutsogeorge (Finance). Other staff will work on various aspects of this project as needed. For instance, Planning staff will be assigned to the land use permits and Public Works staff will work on the design and construction of the Patterson Street underpass. Timeline: A timeline with the three project phases is set out as Exhibit 6 to this Action Plan. The timeline shows a new hospital opening by the end of calendar year 2008. E. Resource Needs The total cost to the City for the Hospital Development in the Central Core is expected to total more than $13 million if the EWEB site is the chosen location. If another site is chosen, the total cost to the City could differ significantly depending on the needs for that particular site. An estimate of costs by component for the EWEB site is as follows: 1. Patterson Street Underpass: The Patterson Street Underpass is a critical piece of the puzzle for McKenzie-Willamette's decision to locate a hospital on the EWEB site. This project is expected to cost $12 million and funds to pay this cost will come from a bond issued to McKenzie-Willamette and repaid from the incremental taxes generated by this development. The funds for this project are included in the FY06 budget. 2. Purchase qfRiparian Area: It is anticipated that the City will purchase approxi- mately 50 to 75 feet along the riverbank for the length of the property for purposes of providing ongoing protection of certain riparian areas. The exact location and amount of property pur- chased for this purpose will be determined in cooperation with McKenzie-Willamette and EWEB. The FY06 budget includes a total of $1,050,000 for this purpose to come from the General Fund, the stormwater fund and Riverfront Urban Renewal funds. The budgeted amounts represent a placeholder for the types and amounts of funds which may be used for this project. The City will still seek Federal transportation grants, State of Oregon bike/pedestrian grants and
