HomeMy WebLinkAbout04/10/1972 Meeting Council Chamber Eugene, Oregon April 10, 1972 Regular meeting of the Common Council of the city of Eugene, Oregon was called to order by Council President Fred Mohr in the absence of Mayor Anderson, at 7:30 p.m. on April 10, 1972 in the CouhcilCharnber with the following other councilmen present: Mrs. Beal ; Messrs .' McDonald, Teague, Williams, Hershner, and Bradshaw. Mrs. Campbell was absent. . I - PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Vacation alley oetween 7th and 8th Avenues from Olive Street 'east 160 feet (ERA/Jacobs) Brooks Dickerman, manager for Pacific Northwest Bell, asked the Council to stipulate in the vacation of this alley that the telephone company will be reirnbursedfor the cost of moving its cables. He said the cost should be passed on to the private business to which the property will be sold through the Eugene Renewal Agency. Mr. Dickerman contends the vacation is for the benefit of that private business rather than the general public. He cited other instances wherein the telephone company has moved its facilities: at its own expense, saying that in those instances it was for public need. Mr. Dickerman also men- tioned vacation of an alley adjacent to the Register-Guard building where cost of moving phone company cables was paid by the Guard. Joe Richards, attorney for the Eugene Renewal Agency, said the matter involves a legal question. He referred to opinion issued by the City Attorney's office stating that ERA is clearly acting as a governmental; agency and in accordance with an agreement with the , City for expansion of existing retail operations in the renewal area. He said there is no way to pass the cost on to private business since the property is already sold. Hesaid the Renewal Agency has no funds for this cost and that grant funds will not pay for cost of moving privately-owned utilities. He asked that the alley be vacated with no reim- bursement to the telephone company. .' Mr. Dickerman said Pacific Northwest Bell is not asking that the Renewal Agency or the City pay the cost of moving the cable; they are suggesting the work be paid for directly by the business benefitting from the vacation. Manager commented that the ~'~egister-Guard agreed to pay the cost of moving facilities in vacation of the"plley adjacent to its property because they petitioned the vacation of that alley for building expansion. He said franchise agreements do provide that privately- owned public utilities will move at their own cost any facilities in order to accom- modate public projects. One of the obligations of privately-owned facilities for use of public right-of-way is to move its facilities when requested, and there are no franchise requirements for appeal of costs. Manager said the question is whether in fact this is of benefit to the public or to a private business. He said that while retention of an easement would serve the purpose for public utilities, because of encroacnrrt~nt ft would impose limitations on use of the land which might not be suitable for the project. - City Attorney said his office had correspondence from Pacific Northwest Bell's general attorney, also from Mr. Richards and the Renewal Agency office, after which Les Swanson, assistant city attorney, gave the opinion that the transaction involving the alley vaca- . tion is a governmental function in which the Renewal Agency is engaged, and not proprietary. : '.=- He said that opin~~n stands. I Councilman Williams questioned the constitutionality with regard to the vacation of the alley and the lack of compensation for movement of utilities. Cpnsiderable discussion followed, the City Attorny explaining that in the matter under discussion there is no con- stitutional issue. He explained the provisions of a franchise constitute prior agreement. Mr. Mohr commented that by casting a "no" vote on motion for second reading of the vacat- ing ordinance, the item could be held over giving an opportunity to explore the issues put forth. Manager said that procedure is available although it would delay progress on the renewal project. He reviewed again the conditions of the franchise agreement between the City and Pacific Northwest Bell whereby for a certain percentage of their gross revenues , they have the right to use the pUblic right-of-way, but if the public good requires in- stallations to be moved, they will do so at'their expense. Mr. Dickerman said the franchise agreement does not delineate that they will or will not be compensated for moving cables. Councilman McDonald asked the name of the private business to whom the property will revert and was told it will go to the Renewal Agency and be sold to Maurie Jacobs. . David Hunt, executive director of the Eugene Renewal Agency, explained that vacation of the alley was designated in the original renewal plan, and that Mr. Jacobs owns the abutting property and plans to expand his furniture business. Mr. Hunt said the Agency would pay the cost of moving the utilities but Federal regulations do not allow payment for reloca- tion of privately-owned utilities unless State or local law permits. Cost cannot be added to the cost of the land since that would add to the cost of the renewal project. He d'/ 4/1 n /7? _ 1 said it is of interest to the Agency to combine properties where possible for expansion of retail business downtown, and the Agency has agreed to sell this land to Mr. Jacobs when vacation is completed. . On questions from Councilman Teague, Mr. Hunt said this is one 'of the alleys originally designated for vacation, that there are other alleys providing access for emergency equip- \ ment into the renewal area. Councilman Williams asked if it would be improper for some form of compensation to be given the City and turned over to the property holders in the area. Manager said the co-operation agreement with the Agency detailing obligation of the City in the renewal project would appear to preclude the City's assessing for this vacation. Mel Purvis, Eugene Water & Electric Board, said the Water Board has a steam line in the alley about which they are concerned. Mr. Hunt replied that the Water Board was noti- fied two weeks ago that the alley is being considered for vacation. He said transactions with the Water Board are with the City itself. Council Bill No. 9621 - Vacating alley between 7th and 8th Avenues from Olive Street east 160 feet (ERA/Jacobs), was submitted and read the first time by council bill number and title only, no councilman present requesting that it be read in full. . Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague that the council bill be read the second time by council bill number only , with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Lacking unanimous consent, all councilman present voting aye, except Messrs. Williams and Hershner voting no, the bill was held for second reading. B. Vacating utility easement on Lot 22, Block 7, 1st Addition,to Pine Ridge Estates (Dills) Council Bill No. 9622 - Vacating utility easement on Lot 22, Block 7, 1st Addition (to Pine Ridge Estates, was submitted and read the first time by council bill number and title only, no councilman present requesting that it be read in full. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague that the council bill be read the second time by camcil bill number only ,with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously, and the bill was read the second time by -council bill number only. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague that the council bill be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 16420. . C. Rezoning Approved - Planning Commission Report March 14, 1972 1. Rezone from RA to R-2 PD area west of Oak Patch Road and south of Amazon Channel (Becraft) Council Bill No. 9623 - Rezoning to R-2 PD area west of Oak Patch Road and south of Amazon Channel (Becraft), was submitted and read the first time by council bill number and title only, no councilman present requesting that it be read in full. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague that the council bill be read the second time by camcil bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that the bill be held pending final approval of the planned unit development. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was held. 2. Rezone from RA to R-2 PD area east of Bailey Hill Road and south of 15th Avenue (Nelson) Council Bill No. 9,624 - Rezoning to R-2 PD area east of Bailey Hill Road south of 15th Avenue (Nelson, was submitted and read the first time by council bill number and title only, no councilman present, requesting that it be read in full. . Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague that the council bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council" and that the bill be held pending final approval of the planned unit development. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was held. D. Rezoning Denied - Planning Commission Report March 14, 1972 1. Rezone from RA to R-2 area at northeast corner 18th Avenue and Bailey Hill Road(Safley) Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague to uphold the Planning Commission recommendation to deny the rezoning request. M~~ion carried unanimously. , db ' 4/10/72 - 2 , -,,,,-, J,,,,<.'c " ':. !;;.'._,;--~~,. .-' _ r.., '.-" - ;-~l:."-<;. 2. Rezone<from RA to R-2areq.~Vieit"of'Q~,Patch,~Road andcs:0),l,f:!L,of,,15th~,<J.\venuE;l(Mlkins) Frank "Bonson, speaking for the petitioner, Jack Adkins, said it was hi's understanding the Planning Commission recommended R-2 PD zoning rather than denial of R-2. Manager explained the area is now zoned RA, but the Commission approved, and the Council ~n lf967 g2ave fir~tf rheading t?lan hord1d'nanhce for, R-2dPD.zoning. H: said the request now 4It 1S or R- , and 1 t e Counc1 up 01 s t e recommen at10n and den1es that request, then final reading could be given the ordinance held for zoning R-2 PD if the applicant wishes to develop the property under planned unit development procedures. Mr. .Bonson said when the R-2 PD was approved before, the financing for the development fell through before the necessary planning steps could be completed. He said the plans of the present developer are very close to those under the PD zoning. He said R-2 is requested because of the time element, and claimed that although there is nothing in the zoning ordinances requiring development under PUD requirements, they are forced to go R-2 PD. Manager said the property may now be developed in single-family density or can be de- veloped to greater density allowed under R-2 PD, but it is fel t the PD controls are necessary to ensure a satisfactory type development. In answer to Councilman McDonald, Jim Saul, Planning Department, said the original owner received preliminary approval of the development but his contract to purchase had expired and no development occurred, hence the rezoning was not completed. In answering Mrs. Beal, Manager said Planning Commission based its recommendation for denial on the desirability for the kinds of controls and design requirements mandatory under planned unit development to accommodate densities which would be available to the developed were it zoned R-2. . Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague to uphold the Planning Commission recommendation to deny the rezoning request. Motion carried unanimously. E. Annexation Approved - Planning Commission Report March 13, 1972 2.25 acres between Railroad Boulevard and River Road east 0f Southern Pacific tracks (Holeman ) Resolution No. 2040 - Initiating boundary change and transmitting to Boundary Commission request to annex 2.25 acres on Railroad Boulevard and River Road east of Southern Pacific Raiir.oad (Holeman) was submitted. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Teague to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. F.

Previously discussed at committee meetings on March 29 and April 5, 1972. Minutes of those meetings appear below printed in italics. A. Bureau of Governmental Research Funding - Councilman williams referred to HPUP' s (University of Oregon Hearing Panel on University Priorities) recommendation to discontinue funding for the Bureau of Government'i!il Research, saying he thinks ,the Bureau is of great benefit to cities of Oregon and is something in which the University should be involved. He moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that a resolution be prepared urging Dr. Clark, president of the University, to retain funding of the Bureau of Governmental Research. Morion carried, Mr. Mohr and Mrs. Campbell abstaining. '. 'J(ft' CJ ,,} Comm 3/29/72 Approve Ll./7n/7? _ ~ re B. Laurelwood Club Lease - Manager read portion of a letter recei ved from Hale Thompson-,- attorney for Dorothy Johnson, 'holder of the Laure1wood Club lease. The letter indicates an extension of'90 days beyond the present termination date of April 10, 1972 would enable Mrs. Johnson to liquidate her present obligations and give time for possible transfer of the present liquor license to another location. Manager said itis hoped to find an operation to go into the Laurel- wood building which will be compatible with the golf course facility and that it is hoped if any extension is granted it will not extend beyond July 1, 1972. He said it is recognized there is some basis for consideration of an extension in that Mrs. Johnson does have financial' probl'ems and has ob.iously been making efforts to find another ,location. Mrs. Bea1 moved seconded by Mr. Williams that the staff negotiate an extension of the lease period not to exceed 90 days ,from April 10, 1972. Motion carried unanimously. Comm 3/29/72 Approve Hale Thompson, attorney for Mrs. Johnson, explained Mrs. Johnson's position in requesting an extension for operation of the Club with the present closing hours of 2:30 a.m. He said at the end of 90 days the Club will be closed, but to impose the cost of off-duty police or to require earlier closing hours will defeat the purpose of allowing Mrs.Johnson to leave with some financial stability. He submitted signatures of several neighbors who are not, too concerned about, the Club's operation,' and' asked the Council's favorable con- sideration,of,the 90-day extension. . Speaking in favor of allowing the present operation of the Club to continue and having no complaint with regard to the operation other than cars kicking up loose gravel from the parking lot were Philip Tillman, 1810 East 27th Avenue; Paul Bogen, 2350 Columbia Street; John Leahy, 2041 East ,26th Avenue;' David ,Hess, ,2359 Columbia Street; John Feuerbach, 2644 Columb:na ,Street; 'Stoddard Malarkey,' 2075 East 27th Avenue. " .' Speaking_against the continued operation and making com~laint because of the noise, danger to children from speeding cars, inappropriate location of this type' of facility in a resi- dential neighborhood, and length of time Council has had these complaints under con- sideration'were John Shepherd, 1765 East 26th Avenue; Mrs. -Luckey; 2693.Chula Vista Boulevard; Charles Archer, _2695 ~Columbia Street; ,Mrs. 'Johri Beck, ',2655 Chula Vista Boulevard; ,James Klonoski, 2795 Central Boulevard; Frank Gordinier, 2641 Columbia Street. Manager again reviewed history of the Q.ub and its operation, and the City's desire to find a refreshment concession for the Club which will be compatible with operation of the golf course. He noted letters opposing-a 90-day extension received from Clifford L. Coristan'ce ,1760 'East 27th Avenue ,and L. D. Leslie, 2690 VanNess Street'. . Councilman Williams wondered whether the Club would close no later than midnight if the Council grants the 90 extension; otherwise he felt there would have to be a time limit set for the termination of the lease under the present closing hours. Mrs. Beal felt the Council could express the opinion that 90 ,days is too long, and ask the staff to work with the lessee to close the Club as quickly as possible. Mr. Hershner sug- gested possibility of , pursuing the suugestion of the lessee's employing off-duty patrolmen to help in controlling the parking lot noise until July 1, whichwould:be the absolute deadline. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the Club be required to close no later than those hours permitted for other taverns in the community (1:00 a.m.) or earlie~, with a 90~day limit. Manager ,in'reply to Councilman Teague :said the 'occupant is now in the building on verbal agreement and it would seem if the lessee did not abide by City's terms then the Club could be closed. Councilman ,McDonald asked whether the ~City is le'gally able to enforce closing at 1,:00 a.m. when the lessee has the type liquor license permitting her to' 'stay open, until 2: 30 a. m. Manager replied only if the lessee agrees to do so; the choice would be closing at 1:00 a.m. or vacating-the premises.. It 'was explained that :the State controls the liquor'license, but the City controls use of the building. ' , .' Councilman Teague suggested a shorter extension of time for the lease rather than putting a restriction on closing hours because of the amount of business in'the later hours and impact on' the lessee's income. " Mr. Thompson said restricting to 1:00 a.m. would pretty well defeat the purpose of a time extension, and suggested a 60-day'extension of the lease instead. Mr. Williams;'withconsent of the second, Mrs. Beal, withdrew his motion. Mrs. Beal,moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to direct staff to extend the present ,lease' to 2: 30 a. m. on June 11, 1972. Motion carried unanimously . 90 4(10/72 - 4 C. Child Guidance Center, Request for Funds - Carol VanHouten, president of the Child Guidance Center for-Lane County ,said' the: organization is trying to develop a comprehensive chi1drens mental health service and plans to apply' for a grant from, the National ,Institute of,Me,ntal Health from fun,ds which were appropriated,_. in Fepruary of this year. She said they are approaching other local governmental agencies in the County, 'where it is planned to locate'the service, for financial help. They are asking the city of Eugene for $3,000. ,She outlined the types of services planned and listed.in material previously distributed to Council members. In response, to questdJon from Mayor ' Anderson as ',to how the organization arrived at the amount of $3,000, Mrs. VanHouten said there was no formula used, that the organization looked at the total amount needed and is asking funds from various local agencies. . Councilman Williams asked about.any future commitments on the part of the City and whether L-COG has been contacted. Mrs. VanHouten said they do not know at this' time where to seek funds to meet Federal funds which will be available through an B.-year period. 'She said they would hopf3!,f.or. revenues ;froin the Stat,ein the.next biennium. She said it is ,planned to seek help from L-COG, but ,at ,the present 'time there must be assurance ,of local matching funds because of time limit on submitting an application for funds from the Federal government this year. Mrs .',VanHouten iri reply to Cozinci1man Mohr said the grant could be applied for on the basis of a tentative commitment of funds from the Coun'cil; they do not have to have the cash in hand. Mrs. Campbell said she feels it is important to authorize the expenditure because of ,the need for the services and because until now there have been no funds avail- ab1edfrom, the Fede,ral goverriment. She noted that' the support' must be in the form of money rather than other credits., such as ,supplied to Child Care, Inc., 'and that the report on need for these services is the :result of considerable time and effort by members of the_League of Women Voters. 'She said further it should be noted it is a County-wide proposal. '. Councilman Bradshaw commented on the need for this type service in the community, saying ,it ,would seem ,most children needing ,these services ultimately come under. ,the jurisdiction of the, Juvenile Court,' and this, wolild be a step' toward preventing that. Councilman Teague questioned whether there is conflict between' the proposed services of this group with others already established, and whether this organization has , been examined by either L-COG or the City. He said he feels there should be more information before a decision is reached. Councilman Hershner concurred, saying no reflection is intended on the proposed services, but more information' should be available on the impact on other Gity services and revenues'. Councilman Williams said he feels it is important to follow the procedure of re- ferring requests of this nature to L-COG for recommendation, that the Council should not be commi tted to a continuing program wi thout having the entire scale of priorities c~nsidered. . Assistant Manager, answering Mrs. Campbell's inquiry, said the Child Guidance group was informed of the budgeting procedure; normally a request would he referred'to 'L-COG and then to the Budget Committee, but ,t'hat because of the, deadline, for-apply- ing for the Federal grant they asked to present their request directly to the Council. He cautioned about use of emergency funds because of so many worthwhile projects and said there was cdncern about bypassing the normal procedure, but that this project may justify this' treatment. Councilman Mohr said if a verbal commitment is sufficient to enable Child Guidance to apply for the Federal Grant, the Council' might indicate this is a priority it ' would support and then argue for the funds in the Budget Committee. Councilman Williams said he would favor the 'expenaiture if it is dearly indicated there is not an eight- to ten-year commitment. Councilman Teague asked about the time limit 'onapp1yi_ng for ,f.unds and said he would favor following set procedure. Mrs., VanHouten replied the application must, be submitted on April 14, 1972 and it must be known at least what funds have been requested locally. . Manager expressed' his concern about future commitments" saying the group/s present approach seems unstable; that he would hope, if the City is involved, that during the year an effort would be made ,to buildup the budget of a single agency for the local matching funds, and that agency would then recognize its responsibility in the future to match Federal funds. On a long-range basis, commi tment at this time would appear to be risky. He suggested perhaps a County-wide service such as the Juvenile Agency would provide the proper stability, not in terms of operating, but to act as sponsor in providing local matching funds. 9/ " t!1/7n/7? _ c; Councilman Bradshaw ~aid because of a proliferation of this type service in the area, a person in the'advocacy area as proposed by the Child Guidance service should be studied to avoid duplication"of services. e Mrs. Beal expressed concern about the time element in an L-COG review before ap- pI ying for Federal funds. Mrs. VanHouten s ai d it is her understanding under, the recent reorganization of L-COG, the Mental Health Task Force is now functioning and is responsible for setting priorities in the mental health field, and that they will have to review any grant proposal. She said, in answer to Mr. Teague, there are no firm commitments for funds from other agencies yet, and that local agencies approached raised the same questions being raised by the City Council. Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to refer the request to Lane Council of Governments for recommendation on priority and indicate in so doing that if L-COG sees this as a major priority and proper activity the Council will indicate its willingness to include the $3,000 in next year's budget. Mrs. Campbell said she feels the Council should indicate to L-COG that 'this is considered a top priority item. Mr. Williams replied the intention of his motion was to leave the priority determination to L-COG. A vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried Unanimously. Comm 3/29/72 Approve .' D. Amazon Parkway West Right-of-Way - Manager explained that John Breske" owner of two parcels of land necessary for right-of-way for Amazon Parkway West, delayed development of that land until the ci ty h"3d the opportuni ty to purchase. Council authorization for purchase of the property 'is requested so that funds may be provided in the 1972-73 budget. The price agreed upon is $-7,768.32. Manager further explained that'the route for, Amazon Parkway~~st was determined some years ago as a facility to be constructed. Recent concern has been ex- pressed with regard to environmental impact such facilities may have on the com- munity. A map was displayed showing the properties protecting the right-of-way of the route decided upon. At this time it ,is still planned to build on that right- of-way. PubLic Works Department has been asked to outline a .procedure, for an impact study on this,project, but at,this,time it has not been completed. Manager said if it is ',decided not to go ahead with the project something else can probably be done with land already in the City's ownership. Mayor Anderson urged the Council to authorize purchase of the right-of-way on the' ,basis ,of policy. already established. . Mrs. Beal inquired about the area involved, and it was determined the right-of- way will be 220 feet wide to include the roadway and the Amazon ditch, and that 2.96 acres will be utilized for right-of-way. Public Works Director said option was taken on the Griffith properties previously for $500 per year, and authoriza- tion is also requested to exercise that option. Mrs. Beal drew a comparison between the $3,000 requested by the Child Guidance group and the azrount to provide right-of-way for a highway. COIl1IJJ 3/29/72 Appro ve Motion Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. Williams to authorize purchase of land for Amazon Parkway West as outlined and carry out policy previously established. carried unanimously. E. Audit Contract, 1971-72 - A p~9posed contract has been developed with the current auditing firm" Lybrand, Ross Bros. & ,Montgomery; for the year ending June 30, 1972 which will allow more of the audit statement to be prepared by City staff. The auditing firm would then review the City work instead of actually preparing the statements. It i's,'anticipated this would result in considerable saving to the Ci t Y . Councilman Williams asked jf the Ci tyis buying more" auditing than is necessary; whether there' CQuld be a reduction in~:thec_amount:of information as provided in ' the 1970;..71 audit, thereby effecting a saving. " .' Assistant Manager said the audit is performed according to State requirements. The 'proposed 'contract tries to'reduce the amount of direct auditing and book- keeping with City staff making up more of the schedules. There is nothing extra being added in the audit report. Finance-Director'said the ,State sets,requirements;for municipal 'auditing and the audi ting firm follows that' procedure qui te strlct:]':l"~" ,.Manager said effort is also made to meet standards of National Finance Officers for governmental audits, and that' administrati vely the audit report is used quite extensively. CJ:t, 411()/72 _ h Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Mohr to proceed with the contract as proposed. Motion carried unanimously. F. Auditorium Association - Council members previously received copies of a summary of 10-year capital improvement needs, projected in terms of a five-year period. Manager said the summary attempted to set some priority as seen by the staff, plus information on cost to the City of borrowing money. The Council also re- ceived copies of three alternate plans prepared by Jack Jarvis & 'Co. for an auditorium complex, and estimate of costs of those three. He explained an ap- parent difference,. in figures shown by, Jarvis and by the Ci ty on annual cost of retiring bond issues; saying the difference occurs in the method of computa- tion, and that the total costs shown by Jarvis and the City are the same. Manager said that the $36 million total capital needs summary, which does not include the auditorium, would appear to be more than would be accepted by the voters or which can be funded through tax sources, but the tabulation does give ,a base for comparison. Mayor Anderson said the first priority is to establish a figure for the Associa- tion, then discuss the type of facility wanted and back that with the City's financial strength. Councilman Williams expressed favorable acceptance of Plan A of the three al- ternatives prepared by Jarvis. He said because it includes some self-support- ing items and possibility of income to apply against debt service it would ap- pear to ,be the appropriate one to choose. Councilman Mohr asked if Plan A is accepted whether it would be for the dollar amount only, or would it imply acceptance o~ details of that plan. He said he is not certain he ,would Support the idea of including a restaurant facility as provided in Plan A. Mr. Williams replied his intent was to signify the amount of money as well as the general design scheme. General discussion revol ved around leaving to the designers inclusion of income producing components of the total facility. John Amundson, architect, said that at this point ,the Auditorium Association has not identified components of the center,but has tried to set out reasonable options to give a chance of self-sufficiency, and give the designers some lati- tude of moving withiil the framework of the plan. He said he feels it is clear that what is wanted is to maximize the notion of "self-support" in bringing a project to the Council for acceptance. Ed Ragozzino, member of the Auditorium Association, said in bringing a plan back to the Council they would prefer to have the flexibility and not be tied to requirement for certain facilities. He said the programs proposed leave the op- tion for development of a complete center as originally proposed, and that the County has indicated that at some future time they' might trade parking for other locations or combined with other locations to open land for a large scale con- vention center. Manager suggested giving' the Association a range of $5.25 million to $5.75 .mil- lion, encompassing all three' alternate plans, and asking for a recommenation within that range, then the Association could present recommendation on compo- nents of ,the, total project. It was determined; on question rromMr.Hershner that the cost to a $20,000 home for a bond issue of $5.5 million would be about $16.00 per year. Mrs. -Campbell said she would like to see the Council make a commitment to place a bond issue on the ballot and let the voters decide whether the center will be built. Mrs. Beal questioned the wide range between square-foot costs of the three al- ternatives presented, and said that the figures presented seem to point to a choice of one of these three and away from the original concept of the Auditorium Association. Mr. Amundson expiained that it is a mathematical question, figures were developed by averaging costs of various sections. He said previous reports indicated costs of the auditorium only, and that Plan A is very similar to the concept proposed by the Association in 1966. Mr. Bradshaw moved' seconded by Mrs. Campbell to suggest a range of $5.25 to $5.75 million to the Auditorium Association within which to bring a plan for an auditorium complex to the Council for consideration of a bond ,issue to submit to the voters. Mr. Mohr asked to include in the motion that effort be made to reduce the'per thousand tax burden of the bond issue by increasing if possible the "self- supporting" components. It was agreed to make it a matter of record, but not a part of the motion. 93 Comm 3/29/72 Approve " - . . -- 4/10/72 - 7 Mrs. Campbell suggested strong endorsement by the Council. Mayor Anderson said the_propex,",t4.m53 .w,Quld be after a recommendation is received from the Association, ,!=hen i.f, a strong endo,r?ement cannot be gi ven, it should not be put on the ballot. e , , A vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried unanimously. G. Temporary Office Space, Portland Federal, Broadway and Oak - Portland Federal Savings & Loan propose to demolish buildings on the quarter-block at the south- west corner of Broadway and Oak and construct a new building for their opera- tion. They are asking permission to use a mobile home type structure to carry on operations during the construction period. Manager said there is no ob- jection from the fire or building standpoint so long as it is a temporary installation. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. Bradshaw to permit the temporary structure. Motion carried unanimously. . H. Walkway, west side of Willamette from 34th to 36th, and 37th to 39th - Memo was previously, distributed to Council members proposing removal of parking on the west side of Willamette Street from Dunn School to 39th Avenue to provide a pedestrian way in those locations where there are no sidewalks. This is the result of previous Council discussion on difficulty encountered by children going to and from Dunn School. Topographic prqblems preclude building a side-, walk on the west side of the street. Children living west of Willamette must cross the street at the crest of the hill where there is no sight dis- tance or walk in the street itself. Manager said a letter was written to School District 4 with regard to USe of school boy patrols, but there was no response. Traffic Department proposes ,marking a pedestrian way by,raised,curbs and re- flectorized markings on the west ,side of the street, prohibiting automobile use at all times of the west edge of the pavement. Owners of properties a.ffected were polled wi th only two responses, both concerned about inter- ference with mail delivery only which will not be affected. Public Works Director said the curb would be done under force account, however the proposed crossing signal would be capital outlay and would depend upon ap- proval as a budgeted item. He said it would be similar to the one in existence at the crossing on Harlow Road for Washington School. Exclusive of the signal, the project will cost about $400, part of which is salvageable should the in- stallation,be changed in the future~ Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to approve the installation.

Alley Improvement Specifications - Manager in answer to the question of alley maintenance programs raised by Councilman Williams, lexplained the long-standing City 'policy which is,to require alley improvement in the form of Portland-cement conrete'if the City is. contr'acting the' work and the cost' is being assessed to owners of abutting properties. If alleys are black- topped or oiled, they are not maintained by the City. The only City mainte- nance is on unpaved alleys, and then- only to scarify and put b'ilCk in~gravelled condition. 'This :is done once a year, or more often where USe is heavy. He said the question is whether 'present standard of only Portland cement con- crete in alleys is appropriate, should there be a review of the policy, or is lesser standard' acceptable. ' " Councilman Williams saidi t is not so much a question of proper specifica- tions for permanent improvement of alleys, but rather whether the City sho,uld accept responsibility"for maintaining grav€Hle'a alleys "and' not accept responsi- bility for maintaining those which are blacktopped. Public Works Director said they would recommend abandoiling the pol'icy of' temporary surfacing, and' consider perini tting nothing but 'permanent improvement ~ He said even though permits are issued for asphalt paving, specifications are left to the property owners which re$ults in'varying thicknesses of'surfaCing.~ , Mr. Wi'l'liams asked if the cost of occasionally patching a blacktop alley is significantly greater than grading a gravelled alley. Public Works Director explained that'patching is a continuing process entailing USe of costly materials. There is no base in that type improvement, and no way to mai'ntain other than' ' ' adding costly asphaltic materials when the surfacing breaks down. In grading gravelled alleys, no material 'needs' to be added. He said' as 'a rule property owners will accept assessments for permanent paving in front of their proper- ties, but will not for those on alleys; that temporary surfacing will not stand up under heavy traffic counts which' are experienced on some of the alleys. Councilman Mohr asked if a policy should be adopted to allow high grade asphaltic paving of alleys.' Public Works Director said to have specifications for asphaltic paving comparable ,to concrete would be too costly to build. He explained the features necessary to provide a permanent improvement - curbs, gutters to main- tain drainage, and maintaining grade which cannot be accomplished in laying as- phalt because of the limited width and difficillty in using the type of equipment necessary for that type of paving. Councilman Williams remarked about the number of asphalt highways in the State which do not have"curbs and gutters. 'Director replied'the' cross't:raffic'in alleys creates the problem in that respect, the paving breaks down on the 'edges. And there is considerable difference in depth of asphalt on the State highways. Also proper drainage caLls for a gutter which caimot be constructed in a l2-foot alley with standard paving machinery with a-minimum lO;"'foof:. spread. He said building asphalt to~thesame'specifications as 'concrete has been discussed with contractors many times' and it is financially impOssible"for-them'to do it with" the machinery they have. " Manager further explained difficulty in maintaining edges of asphaltic paving in alleys, an'd asked Lf the Council wanted staff to explore the problem in depth - investigating practices in other cities, cost involved, basis for'reconsideration, whether it merits that amount of staff time, 'and whether the City should be main- taining'asphaLt'alleys installed by property owners. Mr. Williams saLd hi's inquiry' is the result of a letter from a'constituent~ and' he (Williams) found it difficult to explain why the City would'not mai'ntilin a ' blacktop alley installed by the property owner whereas if he had left a gravel s~rip, ~he Ci~y would have main~ained it. Director said from,a public'relations standpoint it would seem best to firm up the City's policy requiring alleys ~o be permanently improved to City specifications. 95 Comm 4/5/72 ,Approve e Comm 4/5/72 Approve Comm 4/5/72 Approve . . . 4/7n/7? _ q Mr. Teague remarked that if standards are going to be set which will be followed, it would be best ,for the staff to present some permanent solution. - It was agreed the staff would prepare a proposal to enable the Council to set a firm policy with regard to alley improvements. Comm 3/29/72 Affirm p~ Auditorium Bond Issue - Manager explained that Lee BishOp, president of the Audi tori um Association, requested guidance wi th regard to the amount of a bond issue which might be submitted to, the voters, hopefully within the next six months, to determine public support for an auditorium. The Association recog- nizes that ~he original report indicating $13,000,000 total project cost, assum- ing a $10,000,000 bond issue, appears to be more than feasible at this time. And the Association is asking some guidance in terms of total amount which the Council feels can be submi tted so that a recommendation can be brought back on the type of project which could be provided within the figure submitted. They have al- ternate plans fro!fl Jack Jarvis, who presented the original report, but would like to have some idea of the amount the Council is thinking of so they can decide which Ip1an to present. They requested an answer prior to their April 19, 1972 meeting. Manager said the staff can prepare a list of capital improvement needs for 'the next ten years if the Council desires to discuss other priorit;ies and estimate cost of needs in terms of borrowing by the Ci ty ,to determine where priori ty for this project lies from a financial standpoint and from the desire standpoint of the communi ty . . Councilmen Hershner and Teague expressed a desire to have such information be- fore making any decision on dollar amounts. Mayor Anderson said he feels the Council has the responsibility at this point to gi ve some guidance to: ,the Association, ,otherwise the work that organi zation has done to this time ,would be lost. He said, he feels a proper priori ty for this project should be determined, and the Association should be advised how much could be spent. \. .," Councilman Williams said he wo.lild like 'to have a better ,understanding. of the options available in an audi tori um rather than ':setting a cert'ai-n amoun,t for the project. Mayor Anderson pointed out that the Association presented to the' Council a pro- posal for afacility,;and the Council said the cost was too high. 'Now, he said, it would appear'the Council' should give some idea of what amount can be used, and if something is presented which the, Council does not approve, then it can be changed. .' " Mrs. Bea1 ,said she would like to see something more definite in the Association recommendations, that it would seem an amount could not be set until it is known what is going to be built. , Mrs. Campbell said it was her'understanding to, proceed with the construction of a concert hall, andasked'i.f $5~ million would be a figure to start with. She feels there is moral obligation involved to sUbmit a figure so that a bond issue can be voted. upon before the end of the year. Mr. Teague said he feels a bond issue should not be presented to the voters until it is known Jwhatthe money :is going to build in order to have a better chance for the: vote17s' approval~, He asked whether a Council corami ttee could' prepare a recommendation. .,,\ ,; ,7 .. '..,.. Mayor Anderson said a figure of $5~ or $6 million would probably give the Associa- tion enough of a base to work on . Once they have a figure, then they can present the plan submitted by Jarvis which' could be provided within that figure, land the Council could then. decide,if,thatis the type facility' wanted. , .: . Councilman ,Mohr suggested setting the condition that if a dolla~ amount is, desig- nated the Association would agree that the bond issue be; submitted ,only at the general election. Mayor Anderson.said it, would .not be good to tie to a condition because after consideration of what is proposed and how it relates to other projects, Lt,-may be conceivable that the Council would want to submj,t ,an,overall program to 'incl ude other: ,i terns . Mr. Teague commented also that the economic climate might change to make another time more opPortune than at the general election. Mayor Anderson continued that after looking at. overall capi tal needs in light of debt limitations, a program to submit to the voters might go beyond an auditorium, but before this is done, in order for the Association to decide on its plans, it is necessary to give them some idea of the amount of-money to be used. 'J~ 4/10/72 - 10 Mrs. Beal asked if it was tlfought by including 'the Auditorium project with, other issues the total would :be' more likely to be approved-; Mayor Anderson said there is no intent of m~ing one rely upon the other, the idea is to put the issue to the people f.hat"gug:erie' is 'a thriving,' growing 'community and there will be certain needs which will have to be 'met over the next 10 to, 25 years, so tl'e work should be started. It was understood the staff will prepare a list of capital ,project priorities wi th a statement of financial impact on each:" together wi th 'bond c'apaci ty and debt ,l-i-rnitat-ions',: and- that the :infdrma.tion would. be forWarded to Council members prior to th'e'weekend' 'for -study. -Therithis i terri will 'be scheduled for -further discussion at 'the committee meeting on April -5,1972.

Traffic Signals, Highway 99 North at Barger and Royal - Manager explained that agreement was made with the State, on installation of signals at Highway 99 North at Fairfieid and Royal' and that' contracts. will soon be '-awarded on those two. It is'propOsed to budget fundsin'the 1972-73 year for a signal at Highway 99 North and'-B?rger to guarantee' the City's' share "of one':"half -' of the cost on that instaTiatiofI. '-:- Councilman Bradshaw called 'attention, to ,petitions presented previously con- taining several hundred SignatureS requesting the signals, "and' asked ,for' some written notice of installation schedule to confirm receipt of the' peti"'- ti ons . Mayor Anderson sai d because of the interest expressed, it is hoped the news'media would give the installations wide .coverage so that people would be aware' of 'the status of the project:, Public Works Director"commented on difficulty encountered in obtaining traffic signal equipment and said even though contracts are awarded it may be~some time:before actual installation can proceed. W. Wi11ainette River Gravel Re;;oval'... Mrs. Campbell inquired' about the City's responsibility with regard to Valley River's' proposed excavation of, gravel from the Wi11amette River. She said there may be misunderstanding about the proposed dedication for a bike route along the north side of the River. Manager said there appears to be no cause for concern with-regard' to the City's' physical facilities; any evidence of ecological damage or potential damage to use of the Ri ver' s banks would become apparent at the hearings. There may be concern froma political standpoint. He said there was some discussion about dedicat'icm by''ValiEey - River for" that area between the" top of' the bank and the water'lLne', but nothing has been done in this regard "and the Ci ty' at this time does not have property rights in that area. Public' Works Dire'ctor said staff is aware of the pa'!0:ject, and it could be beneficial because of confinement of the stream and filling bf sloughs. ,There is no intention of filing any complaint. Further discussion revealed the Department 'Of Environmental Quality is re- quired to approve gravel extractions, and that an impact study would probably be' in'cluded" as apart' of th'at"approval."
