<br />Councilor Poling recalled that the first conversation he had on the City Council was in regard to the <br />assessment policy and Arcadia Drive. He said a number of streets needed upgrading. He did not believe it <br />was fair for a street to foot the whole bill when other side streets and cul de sacs only had egress via the <br />street that was being assessed. He hoped that they could consider the policy and move to change it faster <br />than some issues had taken in the past. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark concurred. He also wanted to expedite the conversation on assessments. He said there <br />were many streets in his ward that were unimproved. He recalled that if the owners of over 50 percent of the <br />assessed linear footage had signed a remonstrance it would require a two-thirds vote of the council to <br />proceed. Mr. Schoening responded that the signed remonstrance had made the project go before two public <br />hearings, one before the Hearings Official and one before the City Council, and he confirmed the need for a <br />two-thirds majority. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark surmised that it would then take six votes to move the LID forward. <br /> <br />Councilor Zelenka indicated that he would submit his questions to staff via email. He adjourned the meeting <br />at 9:29 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 15, 2009 Page 11 <br /> Public Hearing <br />
