Present at the hearing representing the City of Eugene were Acting City Engineer Jeff Lankston, Michelle Cahill, Sue Malone, Jerry Behney and Terry Grondona. The Acting City Engineer, Jeff Lankston, began by providing a brief description of the project and its history. The local improvement district SLID} composed of basins "N," "P," "Q" and "R" encompasses the parcels to be served by the sanitary sewers constructed in 1995 in the Santa Clara area.
