Mr. Pryor acknowledged the hard work of the neighborhood on the project and congratulated the City <br />Manager and staff on finding the funds to implement the project without crippling something else in the <br />budget. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman concurred with Mr. Pryor’s comments. She was pleased the project was moving forward and <br />maintaining the momentum of the collaboration between the neighborhood and the City. She agreed with the <br />funding recommendation. She asked if moving forward with final design and construction of the project <br />would preclude pursuing a classification change of the street. Mr. Schoening said those actions could move <br />forward independently. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon objected to filling potholes on streets prior to construction because the project would use 25 <br />percent of the Lane County Road Fund exchange dollars, and limited resources for potholes should be used <br />elsewhere. She said the project would permanently resolve those problems and she preferred to see <br />resources invested in pothole repairs on other streets that were in equally bad condition. She did not support <br />the funding strategy because it would use 25 percent of the exchange funds for one project. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark said he wanted to see the project completed, but had the same concerns as Ms. Solomon about <br />using 25 percent of the funds for one project. He commended staff for a creative strategy. He asked if using <br />the funds for this project would displace other projects that were slated for funding. Mr. Schoening said <br />there was a $170 million preservation backlog, but specific projects had not been targeted with the funds. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark asked if the Crest/Friendly/Storey project rose to the level of priority that warranted using 25 <br />percent of the county road fund exchange money. Mr. Schoening said that it did. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark asked if using money from the Delayed Assessment Fund would jeopardize helping owners with <br />local assessments of developed property. Mr. Schoening said the ability to help should not be affected. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark asked for a list of the priority street preservation projects. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz thanked staff for their creativity in developing the funding strategy recommendation. She <br />acknowledged that there was a large backlog of roads that needed to be repaired, but the neighbors had been <br />working for a long time on the project and it was time to move forward. She hoped that staff would be as <br />creative with ideas for the Elmira/Maple Road project. She would support the recommendation, but did not <br />want to see pothole repairs done on those streets before construction began. Mr. Schoening said it would be <br />difficult to screen out certain streets in the pothole repair program; the goal was to construct the project in <br />the summer of 2009. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz urged staff to minimize the amount of repairs in that area. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to proceed with the final design and <br />construction with a combination of $700,000 from the Delayed Assessment Fund <br />and $950,000 from the Lane County Road Fund exchange, and include the Delayed <br />Assessment Fund share as part of Supplemental Budget #1 in FY09. <br /> <br />Mr. Ruiz commended Public Works staff for their outstanding work and creativity. <br /> <br />Ms. Piercy said the council would take up the Consent Calendar from the regular meeting agenda. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
