<br />Mayor Piercy emphasized the importance of roads to all modes of travel. She pointed out some roads <br />were in such poor condition that parents had to drive their children to school because they were too rutted <br />to bicycle or walk. Their poor condition affected residents’ ability to get around the community and earn <br />a livelihood. Many residents were not in a strong financial position to contribute to the solution but they <br />still needed roads. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka emphasized that the council had not fixed the problem; it merely put a bandage on it. While <br />he supported a broader conservation about revenue and wanted that to happen sooner rather than later, he <br />would not be likely to support another bond measure unless a council majority supported a transportation <br />utility fee. <br /> <br />Speaking to Mr. Zelenka’s remarks, Ms. Taylor pointed out that residents got to vote on the bond <br />measure. She believed that residents liked the bond measure and would probably vote for it again. <br /> <br />Mr. Corey anticipated the Street Repair Review Panel would discuss the potential of another street repair <br />measure at upcoming meetings and staff would share the panel’s recommendation later in the year. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 1 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 29, 2012 Page 3 <br /> Work Session <br />
