Wilson Hutchison, engineer, read a letter from the Professional Engineers of Oregon stating the Engineers' position with regard to Article 22 and Section 18.05.

He suggested listing of the professionals alphabetically and listing the engineer and land surveyor separately, onthe basis that the two professions are not interchangeable. Mr. Wilson also called attention to the wording in Section 11.01, the first paragraph, "...small shopping clusters in integrated shopping centers..." and asked if the word "in" should be "or."

Fence, West Belt Line Floodway - Residents living along Juhl Street requested that the City construct a fence along the east side of the West Belt Line Floodway be- tween Royal Avenue and Barger Drive. The Public Works Department reported the floodway was located along the Belt Line Road at the City's request, ,and an agree- ment between the City and the County provided for its construction by the County in return for material excavated. The County denied the City's request for con- struction of a fence along the east side of the floodway, installing it instead on the west side. The Public Works Department estimates a cost of $6,800.00 to construct a similar fence along the east side. 1 Ii :1' , , I II ',I Ii ii II I! :! II l I' III Mrs. Robert Fisher, 1341 Juhl Street, said owners of properties abutting the ditch feel it is the City's obligation to install a protective fence on their side since the drainageway was not a natural stream and was excavated after they had purchased their properties. Some discussion followed concerning access to the ditch for cleaning and the Cou~ty's previous refusal to move the fence to the east side. Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward that a Council committee meet with County Commissioners to discuss the possibility of moving the fence to the east side and to set policy for future similar situations. Motion carried. Councilman Lassen asked that monies be included in the 1968-69 budget and construc- tion of the fence included in the list of Public Works improvements if the County is not willing to move it. 3/14/68 - 1 I e i I I ,I r ,[ I' Ii I' i I~ ;.
