other sources. Because the exact amount of land and the purchase price for the land have not yet been determined, this item could cost more than the amount included in the budget. 3. Access and Transportation Improvements: The City will consider assisting EWEB with the cost of access and transportation improvements needed at the new EWEB headquarters site, if necessary to complete the relocation transaction. The exact improvements and their cost have not yet been determined. F. Monitoring and Evaluation Most of the decisions that need to be made regarding location of a hospital in the central city area will be made by parties other than the City. Much of the City's work will be monitoring the progress of EWEB and McKenzie-Willamette in their discussions and decisions around facility relocation. The first major indication of progress on this project will be the execution of the land trans- actions for the purchase of portions of the EWEB site by both McKenzie-Willamette and the City (for the riparian area). Some of the milestones that will occur as a result of the City's action during the first two phases of project implementation are: · Completion of the land use issues for the EWEB site, including possible Metro Plan amendment. · Execution of financing agreement for Patterson Street underpass (preliminary design work agreement and agreement for the remainder of the design & construction costs). · Resolution of the riparian, right-of-way and bike and pedestrian issues. Coordination of this complicated set of transactions among the City, EWEB and McKenzie- Willamette provides a possible model for future partnerships between the City and developers. Indeed, this project already has improved the working relationship between the City and EWEB. Although the action plan will be considered most successful if construction begins within two years on a hospital development in the City's central core area, another positive outcome is the groundwork laid for bringing the City, other public agencies and private parties together in exploring development opportunities that advance Council-adopted goals and provide benefits to the larger community.
