<br /> <br />9.Can you provide number of hours spent conducting public forums or open houses or on <br /> <br />one-on-one or similar group meetings? <br />Response <br />Staff hours worked to prepare and attend public meetings varies depending on the type of <br />meeting. For an open house or public hearing, the amount of staff time is about 80 hours per <br />event. For a one-on-one meeting, approximately four hours per event. For civic and <br />neighborhood group meetings, about 12 hours of total staff time. To determine the precise <br />amount of LTD (and partner agency staff) time spent conducting public meetings over the past <br />four and one-half years (since the Eugene City Council selected the corridor) will require more <br />detailed analysis. Since release of the Alternatives Analysis in October 2010, LTD and partner <br />agency staff have spent hundreds of hours preparing for and conducting public meetings <br />including one-on-one meetings with property and business owners. <br /> <br />10.Brian Weaver suggests that even though mitigation has occurred, right of way in the initial <br /> <br />concept will eventually be claimed as right of way. <br />Response <br />The mitigation adopted as part of the LPA officially refines the project design; if a build <br />alternative is selected, any previous versions of the project alternatives are no longer part of <br />the project and would not be funded by FTA for construction. A final LPA report will be <br />completed following the LPA adoption process that will define the project and all adopted <br />mitigation. This definition of the project will be analyzed in the subsequent environmental <br />review process (along with No-Build) and will be defined and reviewed in great detail in all <br />grant request documents. <br /> <br /> <br />February 28, 2011West Eugene EmX Extension 7 <br /> <br />
