I I. THE COMMITTEE DROVE OUT TO THE PROPOSED SUNNY HOLLOW AREA, RECENTLY PETITIONED FOR ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF EUGENE. IN STUDYING THE.ANNEXATION OF THIS AREA TO THE CI TY, I T WAS NOTED THE LARGE AMOUNT OF UNOCCUPIED AREAS AND THE LONG DISTANCE NECESSARY TO PROJECT THE TRUNK tiNE SEWER SYSTEM TO SERVE THIS SPARSELY POPULATED AREA. PROPER DRAINAGE WILL ALSO PRESENT A MAJOR PROBLEM TO THE CI TY IF THIS AREA IS ANNEXED. No RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE AT THIS TIME AS FURTHER ST0DY is DESIRED. .e 2. THE ANNEXATION OF L'OTS I, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, AND 8 IN CAPI TAL HI LL, FI RST ADDI TI ON AS SUBMITTED BY PAUL CAMPBELL AND SIGNED BY SEVEN RESIDENTS OF THE AREA WAS REVIEWED BY THE COM~(TTEE. THIS IS AL0 HILLSIDE GROUND WITH ONLY ~ FEW HOMES LOCATED ON IT. PROBLEMS OF FURNISHING SANITARY SEWERS OR ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT AND COSTLY.

No RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE AS MORE STUDY IS DESIRED. I - 3. THE RE~UEST OF R. E. BUCK TO VACATE THE NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY BETW~EN MONROE AND BLAIR AND BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH AVENUE WAS REVIEWED.

IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CO~NCIL AUTHORIZE THE PROPER CITY OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE THE RENEWAL OF THE LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF EUGENE AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE ARMY AT 13TH AND CHAMBERS STREET UPO~ A FIVE YEAR BASIS. I 5. THE PETITION CONTAINING 50.5% OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP ABUTTING THE ALLEY, TO VACATE ALLEY EASEMENT RUNNING EAST TO WEST FROM WASHINGTON TO JEFFERSON STREET BETWEEN WEST 25TH AVENUE AND TERESA STREET WAS REVIEWED AND INASMUCH AS THIS ALLEY IS NEEDED FOR UTILITY EASEMENTS AND GENERAL MUNICIPAL PURPOSES TO SERVE THE ABUTTING PROPERTY, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PETITION BE DENIED. e ~ r'370 e 6. THE tlTY MANAGE~ ADVISED THAT CONGRESSMAN HARRIS ELLSWORTH HAD CALLED FRqM WASHING- TON D. C. ADVISI~G THAT HEARINGS ON AMAZON CREEK APPROPRIATION WOULD BE HELD BEFORE THE SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE CIVIL FUNCTIONS COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON MAY 15TH AND THAT SENATOR CORDON HAD ARRANGED TO HAVE A HEARING BErORE THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE ON MONDAY, MAY 18TH ON AMAZON CREEK IMPROVEMENTS.

THE COMMI TTEE AGAIN STUDIED THE REQUEST or THE EUGENE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC TO VACATE THE EAST/WEST ALLEY ADJACENT TO THEIR HOSPI TAL ON THE SOUTH. THIS REQUEST WAS BASED UPON THEIR PLANS TO ENLARGE THEIR HOSPITAL WITH THE NECESSITY OF CONNECTING THE NEW BUILDING ONTO THE OLD BECAUSE OF PROFESSIONAL REASONS RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMITTEE THAT THIS TWELVE FOOT ALLEY IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE HOSPITAL BE VACATED, PROVIDED THAT A 14 FOOT STRIP BE DEEDED FOR ALLEY PURPOSES AT THE SOUTH END OF THE HOSPITAL PROPERTY. IT WAS ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT THE EUGENE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO PAYING UP TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $7,000.00 FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE ADDITIONAL GROUND TO CONTINUE THIS 14 FOOT ALLEY CLEAR THROUGH TO OLIVE STREET. IT WAS FELT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD BE JUSTIFIED IN VACATING THE ALLEY ADJACENT TO THE HOSPITAL EFFECTING AN OPEN ALLEY FROM WILLAMETTE STREET TO OLIVE STREET TO A 14 FOOT WIDTH WHICH WOULD BENEFIT THE GENERAL PUBLIC MORE THAN THE PRESENT ALLEY NEXT TO THE HOSPITAL. e IT WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE NORTH/SOUTH ALLEYWAY BEHIND THE EUGENE HOSPITAL BE CLEARED UP AND DEEDED AS A PUBLIC ALLEY TO ASSURE CONTINUED FUTURE ACCESS TO THIS ALLEY. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNCIL OFFICIALLY ADOPT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS SO THAT THE EUGENE HOSPITAL AND CLINIC MIGHT ~ROCEED WITH THEIR BUILDING PROGRAM IMMEDIATELY. I 8.

THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL IS AN INCREASE OF $49,847.75 OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR OF 1952-53. THE PROPOSED BUDGET WI LL BE PUBLI SHED I N THE EUGENE REGI STER GUARD ON JUNE I AND II AND THE PUBLI C WILL BE INVITED TO ATTEND THE BUDGET HEARING TO BE HELD AT THE REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ON JUNE 22ND'. e AT THE FINAL MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE" ACTION WAS TAKEN APPROVING THREE RECOMMENDATIONS DIRECTED TO THE COMMON COUNCIL. THESE ARE AS FOLLOWS: I I. IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION Of THE COMMITTEE THAT THE COUNCIL SUBMIT TO THE ELECTORS' AT THE NEXT ELECTION A CHARTER AMENDMENT TO AUTHORIZE A LEVY APPROXIMATING $100,000.00 PER YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS BEGINNING WITH THE TAX YEAR 1954-55 FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING AND RECONSTRUCTING TRUNK SEWERS AND STORM SEWERS WITHIN THE CITY. THIS IS PROPOSED SINCE THE FIVE MILL LEVY FOR FIVE YEARS FOR THIS PURPOSE, AUTHORIZED IN J0NE, 1949, EXPIRES WITH THE TAX YEAR 1953-54, AND THE PROPOSED LEVY CONSTITUTES A CONTINUANCE Of THIS TRUNK LINE SEWER PROGRAM TO COPE WITH THE CONTINUED EXPANSION AND GROWTH OF THE CITY. 2. IT IS A RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMI TTEE ALSO THAT THE COUNCIL SUBMIT TO THE ELECTORS AT THE NEXT ELECTION, A CHARTER AMENDMENT TO AUTHORIZE A CONTINUING LEVY OF APPROXIMATELY $40,000.00 PER YEAR BEGINNING WITH 1954-55 FOR EXPANDING A~D IMPROVING THE fiRE DEFENSES OF THE CITY. THE NEED FOR A SUB-STATION IN THE SOUTH W1LLAMETTE AREA IS CRI~ICAL AND WOULD ASSURE BETTER PROTECTION IN THE BUSI NESS AREA BECAUSE PRESENT FIRE EQUIPMENT IN THE MAIN STATION IS CALLED TO THE SOUTH WILLAMETTE AREA VERY FREQUENTLY. /. -. 3. A THIRD RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL IS THAT THE COUNCIL UNDERTAKE DURING 1953-54 AN INVESTIGATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF A FIRE INSURANCE PROGRAM UNDER WHICH THE CITY WOULD PROVIDE FOR FIRE LOSS TO ITS PROPERTY THROUGH PARTIAL INSURANCE AND ESTABLISHMENT OF A RESERVE FUND TO COVER OTHER RISKS. ALSO AS A PART OF THIS RECOMMENDATION, IT IS PROPOSED THAT THE COUNCIL INVESTIGATE COVERAGE FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES ON BODILY INJURY SUSTAINED ON STREETS, SIDEWALKS, ETC." IT WAS MOVED BY BOOTH, SECONDED BY GODLOVE THAT THE REPORT OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE BE ADOPTED; MOTION CARRIED. 7 A REPORT OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE HELD MAY 5, 1953 - RE: DISPENSERS LICENSES AND BUTTERFAT TAX WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS: I "A MEETI NG OF THE PUBLI C SAFETY COMMI TTEE WAS HELD ON MAY 5, 1951 WI TH THE FOLLOWING PRESENT: COUNCILMEN SIEGENTHALER AND CONE; CITY MANAGER; CHIEF BROWN; KENNETH WHITLOCK, STATE LIQUOR INSPECTOR (LIQUOR APPLICATIONS); GORDON COLEMAN AND ELLIS RACKLEFF, MILK INSPECTOR. e I. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED CLASS A DISPENSERS LICENSES FOR THE OSBURN HOTEL, SORENSON'S COFFEE SHOP, 757 W. 6TH AVENUE AND ROBERTS DRINK AND LUNCH, 147 EAST BROADWAY. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNCIL ENDORSE THE APPLICATION OF THE OSBURN HOTEL. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE APPLICATION OF SORENSON'S COFFEE SHOP BE WITHHELD UNTIL PLANS AND METHOD OF OPERATIONS ARE SUBMITTED TO ASCERTAIN IF THESE WILL COMPLY WITH PRESENT STATE REGULATIONS. IT WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE APPLICATION OF CARROLL ROBERTS BE WITHHELD AS IT WAS FELT THIS WAS A M~RGINAL OPERATION RELATIVE TO THE NEW REGULATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH APPROVING THIS TYPE OF LICENSE. 2. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE REQUEST OF GORDON COLEMAN, MANAGER OF THE MEDO-LAND CREAMERY TO EFFECT A MORE JUST AND EQUITABLE MILK INSPECTION FEE FOR MEDO-LAND CREAMERY. IT WAS NOTED THAT THESE INSPECTION FEES, UNDER ORDINANCE No. 10220 ARE BASED UPON ONE QUARTER CENT PER POUND BUTTER FAT, RESULTING IN THE AVERAGE MONTHLY FEES FOR THE FOLLOWING DAIRIES: I CHULA VISTA ECHO SPRING EUGENE FARMER'S CREAMERY MEDO-LAND PENGRA DAIRY HOLLYLAWN $ 27.00 32.00 30.90 93.79 10.00 12.29 $ 205.98 e IT WAS BROUGHT OUT THAT THE INTENT OF THIS FEE WAS SET UP TO PAY FOR INSPECTION SERVICES AND NOT AS A REVENUE PRODUCING MEASURE AND THAT UNDER THE PRESENT SCALE OF CHARGES, MEDO-LAND WAS PAYING APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT. IT WAS ALSO BROUGHT OUT THAT THE COST OF INSPECTIONS R~N ALL THE WAY FROM $20.00 TO APPROXIMATELY \ ~ ~372 e $50.00 AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED' ~HAT THE BASE OF ONE QUARTER POUND BE RETAINED AS OUT- LI NED IN THE ABOVE ORDINANCE WITH A MINIMUM INSPECTION FEE ESTABLISHED AT $20.00 PER MONTH .AND A MAXIMUM INSPECTION FEE ESTABLISHED AT $50.00 PER MO~TH. THIS WOULD MAKE A MORE EQUITABLE AND JUST INSPECTION FEE FOR BOTH LARGE AND SMALL DAIRIES AND ONLY REDUCE THE REVENUES APPROXIMATELY $380.00." ~ I I I IT WAS MOVED BY SIEGENTHALER, SECONDED BY BOOTH THAT ITEM I RELATIVE TO CLASS A DISPENSERS LICENSES BE ADOPTED.

MOTION CARRIED. 8 A REPORT OF THE STREET LIGHTING COMMITTEE WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS: "MR. BANKS, CHAIRMAN OF THE DOWNTOWN STREET LIGHTING COMMITTEE, APPOINTED BY THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, STATED THAT THE PURPOSE WAS TO DISCUSS THE RECOMMENDED BOUNDARIES AND INSTALLATION FOR MODERN HIGH INTENSITY STREET LIGHTI NG IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND, IF POSSIBLE, TO AGREE UPON A RECOMMENDED PROGRAM OF FINANCING OF SUCH LIGHTS. HE STATED THAT THE BASIC AREA UNDER CONSIDERATION INCLUDED FROM FIFTH TO ELEVENTH AVENUES, INCLUDING WILLAMETTE STREET FROM THE DEPOT TO SEVtNTEENTH AVENUE AND FROM LINCOLN STREET ON THE WEST TO HIGH STREET ON THE EAST, FROM FIFTH TO ELEVENTH AVENUES, IN AN ENDEAVOR TO PROVIDE THE SAFETY PROTECTION AND ATTRACTION FACTORS DESIRED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. MR. BANKS SAID THAT 'PRELIMINARY ESTiMATES FOR THE COST OF LIGHTING IN THIS AREA WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $262,000 WITH THE LIGHTS BEING EITHER MERCURY VAPOR OR INCANDESCENT TYPE SUSPENDED FROM METAL POLES APPROXIMATELY 27 FEET IN HEIGHT, WITH UNDERGROUND CABLES AND CONCRETE BASES. THE APPROXIMATE COST PER FRONT FOOT OF SUCH INSTALLATION IS ESTIMATED TO RANGE BETWEEN $4.45 TO $4.70. e I MR. BANKS SAID THAT THE COMMITTEE HA~ MADE EXTENSI~~ INSPECTION AND STUDY OF VARIOUS LIGHTING PLANS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES AND TODAY DESIRE TO ARRIVE AT SOME RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AND IN TU~N TO THE EUGENE CITY COUNCIL FOR ACTION. MR. HEATH COMMENTED THAT HE FELT THERE WAS GENERAL AGREEMENT ARRIVED AT AT A PRIOR MEETING OF THIS COMMITTEE AND QUESTIONED HOW BEST WE WOULD GET THE PROGRAM GOING. MR. FARINA REQUESTED THE OPPORTUNI TY TO MAKE SEVERAL OBSERVATIONS AS CHAIRMAN OF THE RETAIL MERCHANTS DIVISION OF THE EUGENE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ADDING THAT HE FELT CERTAIN BENEFITS RESULTED TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE RATHER THAN SPECIFICALLY TO THE BUSINESS STANDPOINT'LITTLE BENEFIT WOULD COME FROM EXPENSIVE MODERN STREET LIGHTING BY REASON OF'THE FACT THAT MANY STORES ARE NOT OPEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN DAYLIGHT. HOWEVER, HE POINTED OUT THAT THE CITIZENS WOULD DERIVE IMPROVED SAFETY CONDITIONS ON DOWNTOWN STREETS BY REASON OF ADEQUATE MODERN STREET LIGHTING, THAT A DETERR~NT TO CRIME WOULD RESULT THROUGH A BETTER LIGHTED DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. HE THEN POINTED OUT THAT BECAUSE THE RETAIL DIVISION AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TOWARD A SOLUTION OF THE OFF-STREET PARKING PROBLEM AND THAT A GOOD POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR CREATION OF A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT REQUIRING PROPERTY OWNERS' APPROVAL AND PARTICIPATION, HE FELT THERE WOULD BE OPPOSITION TO A SECOND FINANCING PROGRAM FOR THE DOWNTOWN STREET LIGHTING AT NEARLY THE SAME TIME. . MR. FARINA ASKED THE QUES'TION -- COULD SOME ALTERNATE METHOD OF FINANCING THE DOWN- TOWN STREET LIGHTING BE DEVISED, PREFERABLY ON A LONGER TERM BASIS, PERHAPS 20 TO 25 YEARS. I MR. BANKS OPENED A GENERAL DISCUSSION ON THIS SUBJECT AND MR. BOALS OF THE EUGENE WATER BOARD SAID THAT PERHAPS SOME LONGER RANGE PROGRAM COULD BE DEVISED BUT HE DOUBTED IF THE CHARGES COULD BE APPLIED TO DOWNTOWN PROPERTY ELECTRIC BILLS AND ALSO HE DOUBTED THAT UNLESS SOME DISTRICT OR OTHER RESPONSIBLE FINANCE PROGRAM THAT WOULD GUARANTEE AMORTIZATION OF THE LIGHTING COST, THAT ANY OTHER METHOD OF FINANCE THAN THE ONE OPPOSED BY THE STREET LIGHTING COMMITTEE COULD BE USED. THE QUESTION WAS ASKED AS TO WHETHER OR NOT A SAVING WOULD RESULT IF OVERHEAD WIRE RATHER THAN UNDERGROUND CABLE WERE USED FOR THE NEW LIGHTS. MR. BAILEY STATED THAT A CONSIDERABLE SAVING WOULD RESULT. BUT THERE WAS SOME QUESTION AS TO THE HAZARD THAT OVERHEAD WIRING MIGHT PRESENT. THERE WAS SOME POSSIBILITY, MR. BOALS SAID, THAT EXISTING STREET LIGHTING UNDERGROUND CABLE MIGHT BE UTILIZED IN SOME PART FOR ~ODERN STREET LIGHTING, AL'HOUGH THIS WOULD VARY ACCORDING TO LOCATION OF LIGHTS, EITHER STAGGERED OR NOT, CONDITION OF CABLE, ETC. AN ENGINEERING fNSPECTION OF EXISTING CABLE WOULD BE NECESSARY BEFORE A COST FACTOR COULD BE DETERMINED HE STATED. MR. FARINA PROPOSED THAT PERHAPS CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE NEW LIGHTING TO BE PLACED IN SEMI-RESIDEN- TIAL AREAS MIGHT BE SERVED BY OVERHEAD CABLES WHILE THE LIGHTS IN THE CONCENTRATED BUSI- NESS AREA MIGHT BETTER BE SERVED BY UNDERGROUND CABLE. e MR. KING SUGGESTED THAT THE ENTIRE' DOWNfO~N STREET LIGHTING PROSECT COULD BE ADVANCED I IF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE RETAIL MERCHANTS DIVISION COULD CONDUCT SOME TYPE OF CANVASS OR SURVEY OR PROPERTIES IN THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT IN AN EFFORT TO LEARN THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT A TEN YEAR FINANCE PLAN BASED UPON THE BANCROFT BONDING PRo- VISIONS. HE STATED THAT HE FELT THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD BE APPRECIATIVE OF SUCH A STUDY L AND HE STATED THAT HE FELT IT WOULD DO MUCH TO FACILITATE EARLY APPROVAL OF A MODERN LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR THE CENTRAL AREA. MR. FARINA AND MR. BRENNE INDICATED THAT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE RETAIL MERCHANTS DIVISION WOULD CONSIDER SUCH A SURVEY OF THIS KNI A BRIEF PRESENTED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE GROUPS SHORTL~. THE POINT WAS MADE 'THAT A SURVEY OF THIS KIND WOULD BE MORE READILY ACCEPTED AND PARTICIPATED IN IF THE CITY COUNCIL MIGHT BE WILLING TO INDICATE A POSITIVE POINT OF VIEW TOWARD THE DESIRABILITY OF ADEQUATE I e ~ 3'7 .3~ e I (I Ii :i il :' MODERN HIGH I NTENSITY STREET LIGHTS FOR THE ~OWNTOWN AREA. MR. CRUMBAKER AND MR. KING INDI- CATED THAT IT WAS QUITE LIKELY THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD COOPERATE IN THIS PROGRAM. t"'" ~.r. Qf) ~ P--< ~ IN ADDITION TO THE DOWNTOWN BOUNDARIES LISTED ABOVE, MR. -FARINA MADE THE SUGGESTION THAT THE NEW STREET LIGHTS BE EXTENDED ON EAST BROADWAY TO THE JUNCTION OF US 99 HIGHWAY. HE FELT THIS COULD BE DONE AT A MODEST ADDITIONAL COST AND CREATE A NATURAL TIE BETWEEN THE BUSI- NESS DISTRICT AND HIGHWAY 99. THE COMMITTEE EXPRESSED A FAVORABLE AiTI TUDE mOWARD THIS SUG- GESTION. MR. BANKS POINTED OUT THAT SOME SPECIFIC ENGINEERING WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH RESPECT TO THE LIGHTING PROGRAM AND REQUESTED THAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT SUCH ENGINEERING BE DONE BY THE EUGENE WATER BOARD. IT WAS ALSO PROPOSED THAT, IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, BIDS BE CALLED FOR THE LIGHTING PROGRAM. e DETAILS OF THE BANCROFT TYPE FINANCING WERE DISCUSSED BY MR. KING AND MR. CRUMBAKER AND IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT APPARENTLY THE CITY COULD ENACT A REVENUE PROGRAM IF POSITIVE APPROVAL COULD BE SECURED FROM 50% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE AREAS TO BE SERVED BY THE NEW LIGHTS. THEREFORE, MR. KING SAID THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL IF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE RETAI L MERCHANTS GROUPS COULD ASSiSt IN GETTING TANGIBLE PROOF THAT AT LEAST 50% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT. MR. KING URGED THAT WHAT- EVER ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN BE DONE PROMPTLY SOTTHAT EARLY ACTION CAN BE CONSIDERED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED."

THE APPLICANT DESIRES TO DIVIDE THESE PROPERTIES INTO THREE PARCELS OF LAND, EACH HAVING A FRONTAGE OF 57 FEET PLUS.
