ATTACHMENT A RESOLUTION NO. _______ A RESOLUTION RENAMING THE “AUTZEN FOOTBRIDGE” AS THE “DAVE AND LYNN FROHNMAYER PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE BRIDGE” The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. In 1982 the City of Eugene, through the Eugene Water and Electric Board, entered into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the State of Oregon and Lane County regarding the construction and maintenance of a utility, pedestrian and bicycle bridge crossing the Willamette River south of Day Island Road. The IGA states that the bridge shall be named “The Autzen Footbridge.” Eight years later an IGA between the City of Eugene and Lane County conveyed the Autzen Footbridge to the City. Subsequent to the IGAs, the City Council adopted resolutions referring to the “Autzen Footbridge,” including Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 4746 naming the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Trail System. Resolution No. 4746 describes the East Bank Trail as nine miles of trail along the river between the “Owosso Bicycle Bridge and the Autzen Footbridge.” The execution of the IGAs, together with subsequent City Council action, officially named the bridge crossing the Willamette River south of Day Island Road as the Autzen Footbridge. B. To recognize and to pay tribute to the significant contributions that Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer have made to the Eugene community and to the University of Oregon, the City Council desires to rename the “Autzen Footbridge” the “Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge.” NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: Section 1. In appreciation of the contributions made to the community by Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer, the “Autzen Footbridge” is renamed the “Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge.” Section 2 . Appropriate signs shall be posted identifying the bridge as the Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge. Section 3. The City Recorder is requested to forward a copy of this Resolution to Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer. Section 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. The foregoing Resolution adopted the _____ day of __________________, 2009. ____________________________________ City Recorder 00231534.DOC;1 Resolution - Page 1 of 1
