J Council Chambers I: Eugene, Oregon " !; 'I !; November 22, 1971 'i " I: I I Adjourned meeting of the Common Council of the city of Eugene, Oregon was called to order by His Honor:: Mayor Lester E. Anderson at 7:30 p.m. on November 22, 1971 in the Council Chamber, with the following ;~ councilmen present: Messrs. Teague, Mohr and McDonald; Mrs. Beal; Messrs Gribskov, Williams and " , I Hershner; Mrs. Campbell. ! ,: I " I , PUBLIC HEARINGS i; I. I i: II A. Highway 126, Oakhill to 1-105 ( Minutes from Committee meeting of November 3, 1971 reproduced " it below. A lengthy memorandum was previously distributed to Councilmen which outlined the history of the proposed contract between the City and the State pighway Department regarding the exten- sion of Highway 126. It is hoped the City, County and State can reach ,agreement so that the e state may proceed wi th scheduling and financing of the first portion. City Manager outlined the route of the proposal, while the Director of Public Works traced the hi ghway and its in terchanges on a map on the wall. He commented about alternatives to the proposal which might ,give better access to river frontage, or preserve park land which will be enfulfed by the highway. He stated that the City Council, at its meeting of October 26, 1964 had approved the proposed alignment of Highway 126 extension and requested that the I " design of the facility include a frontage road along thenorth side of the freeway to provide :, access to the park properties, which will be cut off from the existing north-south city streets. Planning has proceeded since that time on the assumption that this was a firm commi tment, although there have been some changes in the contract and concept details of des:i:.gn. He explained various alternate proposals, and the problems of financing or topo- graphy which would make them not feasible. He said the State has added provisions for , si dewalks , frontage roads and, where possible, designed bicycle facili ties. Public Works Director added that, because a major storm sewer system could not be constructed until highway planning'was completed, the Highway Department will incorporate a floodway with the pro] ect . ': Mayor Anderson listed alternatives the Council has as: 1) Approve project as presented; , , 2) refer matter to Planning Commission for public hearing and recommendation; and 3) disapprov~1 'I , the project. I City Manager mentioned that the Plannigg Commission has scheduled discussion of this project for its noon meeting of November 8. " In answer to Councilman Williams, City Manager said there will be minor variations in the alignment and design, but the question before the Council is whether to go ahead with the final design. He explained to Mr. Mohr that this would not norm~lly go to the Planning commission, but they were interested and wished to discuss it. .. I " Councilman Williams asked what the original basis was to want to build this extension at all. Mr. Howard Buford of L-COG explained that something had to be done to handle traffic, or the " , entire city would be destroyed. He explained various studies and projections made, the con- clusions drawn, and how, after many months of study and negotiation, this proposal was pre- rI sented. The only alternatives would be to increase the size of present city arterials to " permit movement of greater numbers of cars. I' Councilman Mohr felt it might be better to suffer wi th slower driving than build the facili ty e !, at all. He fel t the publi c wished to stop building freeways and accommodating the automobile. 1 - -- - Mr. Buford explaIned, in answer to some Council questions, that the figures being used were facts, not assumptions. It was necessary to take care of the projected load, rather than attempt to swing people into another mode of travel. He submitted that, if the city stayed with what it had, more air pollution would be produced, because of inefficient use of cars. I Present streets would have to be widened, losing many trees and buiilldings. These decisions would have to be made. Mr. Williams did not believe, that by refusing to build the freeway, the people would be : moved towards development of a mass transit system. As long as they had cars available, they would use them~ He really felt there were few options, with the state of today's ,i i mass transit. I , Director of Public Works explained that the intent was to take the traffic out of the I heart of town, and with completion of the Washington-Jefferson extension, all the traffi c would be dumped on 6th and 7th. ! Councilman Teague felt this was an opportunity to plan for the future. He fel t there 'I were several traffic spots now that caused real problems, and that this should be a consideration. Mr. McDonald agreed, but he was concerned too that perhg.ps traffi c had not increased .' as rapidly as had been forecast. Mr. Buford pointed out that, not only had the traffi-c I I e i.ncreased as forecast, but even more rapidly. ~ 11/22/71- - 1 ""'Il e 73" 11/22/71 I rr il I; Councilwoman Campbell was conerned that, by endorsing this proposal, the :1 Council would be endorsing the entire E-SATS program. She was particularly :1 concerned about the inner loop, as projected in E-SATS. Mr. Buford assured her I that this agreement was for this section only. I " Mayor Anderson suggested that it might be well to gi ve tentati ve approval of the , project, if the Council felt it had enough facts. This would not be binding on the I' ; Council, but would gi ve some guidance to the Planning Commission for a more objecti ve approach. Councilwoman Beal was concerned wi th what kind of recommendation the Council could " give the Planning Commission. Councilman Williams, seconded by Mr. Hershner, moved that the Council indi cate its intention of .~pproving this project at its November 22 meeting and ask' that the Planning e I' Commission prepare suggestions for modification or deletion of the proposal for , Council consideration at that meeting. il ! Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to amend the motion so that, instead of indicating its intention of "approving" this project, the Council would indicate its " '" ,t intention of "reaching a decision" on this project. .'. ;" , ~...\ Councilman Williams explained that he had framed the motion in this way because of 1'\ '. the MaY9r's request that the Planning Commission be given some indication. " i Mayor Anderson agreed that he would like to give the Planning Commission a definite ,I concept: of what the Council had in mind. This might have some bearing on the I Commission recommendations. Mr. Hershner did not feel the Planning Commission should be requested to make a recommendation on such a broad public issue wi thout some direction from the Council. Mr. Mohr agreed, but felt this could be turned around, and the Council could inform the Planning Commission of its intent not to approve the project. This would gi ve them more reason to prove its worth to the Council. Mr. Mohr fel t perl:ap.s, rather than give an indication of approval or disapproval of the project, the Counciili should indi cate narrowly confined agenda limi ts. Mr. Williams commented that, in view of the time frame involved, and in view of the history of the matter, there should be some indication, and this was his reasoning in making the motion. Mrs. Beal said she would still prefer that the Planning Commission make its recommen- dation without any direction from the Council. They are aware of the urgency and the history of the matter. Mrs. Campbell was concerned that the motion, as stated, gave a foregone conclusion I that the Council had endorsed the project. Mr. Williams maintained that the motion , gi ve an indication of what the Council was consideri.ng doing on the night of November 22. I I; Mrs. Beal said that, if she were sure the Planning Commission would accept Mr. Williams motion in the sense that he had explained it, and that the minutes expressed the fact that all members of the Council were not commi tted to this project at this time, she would feel differently about the amendment she had made. e The motion and amendment were read for the benefi t of the Council. Mrs. Beal said her amendment stood as read. - --- Vote taken on amendment to main motion. Messrs. Mohr, McDonald,' Mrs.. Campb~ll and Mrs. Beql voted yes. Messrs. Williams, Hershner and Teague voted no. Moti on to amend carried. Vote taken on main motion as amended. All voted aye. Motion carried. Mayor Anderson thanked the staff for its broad, objective presentation. Meeting of November 22, minutes - The Planning Commission took action at its noon meeting, after public hearings November 16 and 18, to postpone a decision on this contract. On Friday the City Manager and several staff members attended a~meeting with the State Highway Commission officials which was to clarify questions raised I at the Planning Commission hearings. At that meet ing, staff was informed that the Highway Department had just learned that the Federal government would require an Environmental Impact Statement on this project. It had been the understanding this statement would not be required on this project because of its pre-commitment. It was agreed that any further official action toward implementation of this program II should be delayed. The Planning Commission had many questions and COnErns which it felt should be included within the review process, and these were included in a report to the City e Council. City Manager read the report, and said if the Council wished to accept the Planning Commission recommendation for postponement, any discussion of the merits 11/22/71 - 2 ..... III""" 73 7 e 11/22/71 I II I I of the project should be postponed until all information is available on the proposed II ii project. [I i 1\ ,I " I I " ! Mrs. Beal expressed Council appreciation to Mr. Pearson, Planning Commission president, i i; 'i who was present at the meeting, and to the entire Commission for the excellent 'I I: " d work in their pililic hearings. Mayor Anderson agreed with her, and said these ': :; " :1 I! sentiments were shared by the entire Council. q I' " II I Mrs. Campbell expressed inTerest in continuing the hearing, since there were people I: ii in the audience who had come for this express purpose. Mayor Anderson explained I, the Planning Commission recommendation for postponement, and that it was felt any ,\ hearing at this time might be redundant. 11 I: Ii Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to adopt the Planning Commission recommendation .' 'I that action on the agreement for Highway 126 (Roosevelt Freeway) be postponed. This :1 II Ii recommendation for postponement is the result of unanswered questions which were ': 1\ raised at the Commission's two public hearings on November 16 and 18. This postpone- e ment was further supported by a recommendation by the City Manager that a decision " :i 'I regarding this contract be delayed by both the Commission and the City Council until an Environmental Impact Study has been submitted for their review. Mrs. Beal was impressed with the amount of work the Planning Commission had put into its recommendation and suggested the Council adopt the entire recommendation, includ- ing items 1, 2 and 3. She asked to amend the motion to include these portions. I Mayor Anderson suggested Mr. Teague's motion be voted upon, and then Mrs. Beal cguld make this as another motion. She withdrew her amendment. Mrs. Campbell was concerned that there were councilmen who had not attended the Planning Commission public hearings, and that this public hearing should continue,: Mayor Anderson said if this ~otion passed, public hearings would be postponed until further information was available through an environmental impact study. Comments Ii would be redundant, since much of the information was on record through the Planning II Commission hearings. Ii I. I' \! I' Mrs. Campbell suggested that Councilmen who had not attended the hearings listen jl I' to the tapes of the proceedings. Mayor Anderson said there would be a written " " II ,I record of the meetings. ., " : il i: Vote taken on motion as stated. Motion carried. 'I it I /! Mrs. Beal moved the City Council adopt recommendatias 1, 2 and 3 of the Planning I Commission report on the Hwy 126 contract. Motion died for lack of a second. I, I' I' II ji Councilman Mohr commented that his reason for not seconding Mrs. Beal's motion was Ii that he intends, at the Wednesday committee meeting, to prepare for Council review I: a program which may accomplish many of the recommendations, but in a different form. I' " He could see the Planning Commission recommendations were well thought out, and he I Ii would like to develop a slightly different form of procedure for Council consideration. " , Ii Mayor Anderson again commended the Planning Commission for its hearings, and said Ii much of the material could provide input into the environmental impact study. :1 'f City Manager commented that many letters, petitions, etc. had been received, and Ii these will be placed on record and used in conjunction with material from public hearings.

Inc. 6,560 COMPo DATE: ,July 1, 1972 Public Works Director commented that award is recommended on Items I and 2, and that on No. 3, Sally Way, the recommendation is against award. ' This bid was over the estimate approximately 15%. Property owners had been given an estimate of prices prior to going to bid. That estimate was $8.00 per front foot, and the bid is higher, approx- imately $9.77 per front foot., Regarding No. 4, Baxter Avenue, the staff has suggested that action be withheld for federal government action for at least 90 days. e Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that low bids be awarded on Projects 1 and 2, Project 3 be rejected and Project 4 withheld. Regarding Project 1, Mr. Richard Freeman, 1140 West 6th, said he was the initiating petitioner and that one of his neighbors had not been contacted and was not aware of the proposal. He felt this should be delayed to give him an opportunity to appear >1 if he wished. In answer to Mr. McDonald, Mr. Freeman said he had the majority of the property (60% ) but that he did not feel he should go ahead with the project without giving his neighbor a chance to appear. Mr. Mcdonald commented that it was Council policy to pave alley's with over 50% petition, and he felt the Council should go ahead. Mr. Teague said he was willing to amend his motion to hold the bid for 30 days. This was agreeable with Mr. Mohr his second. Rollcall vote taken on motion as amended. Motion carried with all voting aye. It was pointed out that there might have been others wishing to speak on other projects. Mr. Gene Fessenbecker, 2179 Marlow Lane, explained the situation on Marlow Lane, and that there were only six people to be assessed for the project. He explained that the ditch was four feet wide by six feet deep and had been're-routed from its original location. He felt the project would benefit the entire area and that they should not be assessed for the improvement. HIs main concern was that the ditch be filled. I City Manager pointed out that normal city policy had been added to, in this cas e , so that owners were paying only for % a 24" line. An al ternati ve might be for owners to fence the ditch, or the city might contact owners to see if the higher estimate was acceptable, and if the majority were willing, Council might reconsider its r' recommendation. v Director of Public Works said another property owner has asked to have his property included in this project, which would mean the entire section from Gilham Road to e Norwood would be covered. Mr'~ Willard Alfson, 2500 Forrester, said he owned one of the lots in question, and he felt the ditch was dangerous to children in the area. He was concerned that the di tch would still be uncovered in the vicinity of the school" and felt this should also be covered. , , ~ i In answer to Mr. Alfson's suggestion that the city should close the entire ditch, the City Manager pointed out that the city has many miles of open ditches, both in the Willakenzie area and Bethel-Danebo. A storm sewer study has been made which indicated that a complete storm sewer system in the Willakenzie area would cost around $7,000,000. This would require a bond issue. The policy at present is for the subdivider to pay up to 24" width, and the city pays the additional above the 24". In this proj ect, which was initiated by the property owners,' the City Council agreed that the city would pay half the cost of the 24" normally charged to the property owner. Therefore, the city would be contributing more than its normal share of the project. I Mr. Alfson suggested that a policy~shouldbe established whereby a subdivider would deposit in escrow a sum of money to cover the cost of this kind of improvement. Councilman Hershner suggested that the Council might take further action in this matter. City Manag~r said the Council could reconsider and could ask staff to poll the property owners. e Ed Brockett, 1780 Norwood, said the building inspector had informed him that the ditch on his property must be completed before he can take occupancy of his home. 11/22/71 - 4 .oil r 739 e 11/22/71 He felt the storm sewer would be much more satisfactory, and that it should be I extended through the school property. Public Works Director said they had estimated the cost of storm sewer through the school property and it would require an additional $53,554. The amount now required I is not in the present budget, but the department had been willing to ask Council to " transfer funds from another project. Wayne Bush, 2141 Marlow Lane, said there had been much controversy BE,out the 'ditch, and 'it was his feeling it was badly needed now. It is very hazardous to children in the area. Councilman Hershner belleved the property owners should be polled, and he moved, seconded by Mr. Gribskov that the Council reconsider the motion to reject, and postpone any action on this bid until the property owners have been polled. Mr. Williams asked that the staff report to the Council the cost of erecting a fence e along this di t ch . He felt the important thing was to protect the lives of children, rather than reclaiming land, and that a fence might be satisfactory. Vote ~aken on motioD. Motion carried. I \ II. Items to be considered with one motion, after discussion 'of individual items, if requested. Items were previously discussed at committee meetings of November 3 and 17, 1971. :(Minutes I of committee meetings are typed in italics) , A. Permission for Absence, Councilman McDonald - Councilman McDonald requested permission 11/3/71 to be absent from the meetings of December 13 and 27 and January 10.

Amazon Coinmunity Center Building - Several years ago a bond issue was approved for the 11/3/71 purposes of building swimming pools and oommuni ty buildings. Director of Parks and Recreation explained that it is proposed to build a community center at Amazon Park, which will expend the remaining $262,000. He delineated a map, showing a new concept of separate, multi-sized buildings, and explained the advantages it is felt will be gained from this type facility. He explained the manner of operation of this new !' type facili ty, and how fue cost of operation will differ from the accepted single I building. In answer to Councilman McDonald, Parks Director said the original bond issue was for $1,750,000, of which $262,000 remains. Councilman Teague requested a survey of park facilities be completed, and that a " ;: committee meeting be devoted to discussion of the report. " Councilwoman Campbell commented that she was very happy to have this facili ty constructed I' I in her ward, and that the plan looked great to her. She asked Mr. Smith if he had " talked with the YMCA and coordinated the plan with them. Mr. Smi th said they had an excellent relationship wi t}:I,the "Y'!, and hoped to share some uses. . /~~', , ,.f Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to authorize staff to prepare working drawings and proceed to bid with this project. There was Council discussion of the problems of vandalism at oommunity centers, and how this concept could affect the misuse of buildings. Mr. Smith explained that it e was felt unused segments could be kept locked, and that citizens would zrore readily ;; identify with this type facility, and feel zrore personal interest in its maintenance ,I I, and care. There are many other advantages with this type facility, especially wi th programing and access. " 'i ,I Vote taken on motion as stated. Motion carri ed. I' Approve,' i i C.

Director of Public Works reported that, for aesthetic purposes, specifications had eliminated a wire cage over the structure. Public utility Commissioners felt this cage was necessary for safety, and it will be included when the b,Eidge'is built. e ~ 11/22/71 - 5 "'l e 7L/-O 11/22/71 i , I , " I Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. Appro.ve ! E. ~greement, County, City and University for Underpass - Authorization of this agreement -11/17/71 would permit construction of a pedestrian-bicycle underpass of Southern Pacific tracks at the south end of the Willamette River pedestrian bridge. It would COrrmllt the city to expendi ture of 1/3 of the 40% to be raised at the local level. Mrs. Campbell was concerned about safety in the tunnel, and asked about installation of a police call system. Manager said this could be done, but the tunnel is short and will be well lighted. Mr. Gribskov moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve the agreement. Motion carried. Approve F. Assessment Segregations' 11/17/71 1. George Wingard, sewer on Bertelsen Road - To segregate, $483.68 2. Walter P. Hardin, sewer on Dakota Street - To segregate, $ 30 7 . 71 Approve e G. Implementation of City Code - Pierre Van Rysselberghe submitted a report concerning 11/17/71 implementation of city law as it applies to the code. City staff has not had sufficient time to evaluate the report, and needs more information from Mr. Van RY{jse1berghe before submitting it to Council. Mr. Van Rysselberghe reported on this work at the League of Oregon Cities meeting wi th the result that some of the information was made public before the Council had an opportunity to study it. I Councilman Mohr suggested that the Criminal Review COrrmll ttee review the report and offer comments before it is brought to the Council. This was felt to be a good suggestion and will be implemented. Affirm H. Request to Give Presentation Regarding Amchitka - Councilwoman Bea1 asked to allow 11/3/71 Miss Joan Eggleston to explain to the Council plans of a student group to join the governments of Japan, Canada and the State of Oregon to protest the tests at Amchitka. Mayor Anderson explained Council policy regarding requests of this nature, and that they are usually held until the regular business has been completed. Mr. McDonald moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell that Miss Eggleston be allowed to make her presentation at this ti me . All voted aye except Mr. Williams , who voted no. Miss Joan Eggleston, University of Oregon student, exp1ained'p1ans for the day and evening, and that small groups would maintain a vi gi1 until the time for the test had expired. She requested Councilmen and other persons to come to the University to hear talks given by knowledgeable people concerning the dangers of the tests and reasons this p..anned test should not .be carried out.

File L. Addition to. By-Laws of Conflict of Interest Standards - 'Councilman Mohr said the ci ty 11/17/71 of Portland is considering adoption of conflict of interest standards, and he fe1 t this might be worth investigating for addi tion to the by-laws for the Council of the ci ty of Eugene., Mayor Anderson said the Council had worked on this matter three years ago, and suggested that Councilman Mohr peruse the files for information gathered at that time, and perhaps report to Council. Councilman Williams pointed out that the City Charter provides that Councilmen shall not act on any items in which they have an interest, but the wording is quite broad. File I M. Planning COrrmllssion Hearing, I-]26 - City Manager reported on the Planning COrrmllssion 11/17/71 hearing on the proposed Highway 126 extension, and said that it had adjourned to Thursday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Counci 1 Chambers.

I ill/17/7l County Mass Transit District and Mr. Fred Dyer, Manager, appeared at the request of I , I! the Ci ty Council to report on the program and answer questions. I Ii I Ii Mr. Craig Robinson said that the District is awaiting approval of a federal grant and !i that 22 new buses will be ordered when it is received. He explained the stages set " out for the District and said that Stage I, improvements in service and repair of I ~ I: old equipment, had been completed. Stage II, purchase of new equipment, will be il implemented as soon as the federal grant is received. Stage III is the planning I ,- " , ! i: stage, and will be started as soon as Stage II has been completed. 11 Ii Fred Dyer outlined improvements that have been made since organization of the Mass Ii Transi t District, and said that they have concentrated on personnel, driver competence 11 and safety, since they have been unable to purchase new equipment. Mrs. Campbell suggested that a representative of the Mass Transit District would be " I: very helpful at any public hearing having to do wi th transi t. Mr. Robinson agreed, e ,: I: and said that at Stage III he felt they could provide input into such discussions. Ii Ii At the present time they are trying to meet existing transportation needs of the communi ty . )1 I: Councilmen had many questions about changes in routes, marking of stops and shel ters. Ii Ii Mr. Dyer said many of these things will come about when they have received a federal I' II grant. I " Ii Mr. Robinson discussed financing of the local system and said rrost of the options gi ven I' II by the State Legislature for financing were impractical. Ii In answer to Mr. Mohr, Mr. Robinson said the State Legislature had enacted legisla- I: tion intended to correct this problem, but last minute changes made it impossible I ,I Ii to use. i! Ii There was further discussion about the autorrobile, and ways to encourage use of Ii Mass Transit. I' In answer to Mrs. Campbell, Mr. Dyer said service has been increased to LCC, rather ,I Ii than discontinued, and that there must have been some mis.understanding in corrununica- ii ti ons . 'I II r Mayor Anderson corrunented that he and the Manager had met wi th a member of theDepart- II ment of Transportation in Washington, D. C. who had worked on the application for new I' bus es . Mayor Anderson commented on some of the transit innovations being used in the I ~ East, and said this mode of transportation ~pu~9_~e.impractical for a town the size of " :1 I Eugene. The Department of Transportation is searching for new types of travel for It cities in the middle population category, but at present, there is no satisfactory 'I Ii means, other than buses. Ii Mayor Anderson said he felt financing mass transi t would be a problem, unless some " I !: means is devised to utilize transportation taxes charged throughout the country. File " Ii P. New Revenue Tax - Lane County released news o~ a County Income Tax of which Council Ii 11/17/71 had not been aware. Manager explained the proposed tax, and how it would affect the Ii City. He explained that a comnrrttee composed of County Comnrrssioners, Mayors and :1 'I staff, had met several times to work on this proposal. Manager felt at this point the 'I I' 'I Council should have the report and make specific proposals for use of the funds. Ii II I I: ;1 'I Mayor Anderson read a letter from Comnrrssioner Jess Hill informing the Council of e 'I I: an informative meeting regarding. the tax measure, to be held Tuesday, November 30 at " Ii I, ,I 7:30 p.m. in Harris Hall.

File ,I ,I Ii I' " Ii 'I Q. Library Report - Councilwoman Campbell requested a report on salary scales for City 'I i; )1/17/71 'I Department heads.
