II.
PUBLIC HEARING: APPROVAL OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Cathy Czerniak, Planning and
Development Department, reported on the issue. The purpose of the public
hearing is to adopt the draft Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal
years 1991-92 through 1996-97. The CIP differs from the Capital Budget in
that the CIP is a planning tool through which needed improvements to the
City's facilities are identified, prioritized, priced, and discussed with the
community. As a result of Measure 5, the CIP will be useful in strategic
financial planning discussions within the community regarding levels of ser-
vice, capital projects, and sources of revenue for the future.
Ms. Czerniak reported that both the Planning Commission and the Budget Com-
mittee have reviewed and recommended approval of the draft CIP with modifica-
tions. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the draft plan with
the inclusion of Errata Sheet A which outlines funding changes to the Highway
99N, Roosevelt-to-Beltline improvement project. The Budget Committee recom-
mended approval of the draft CIP incorporating errata Sheets A and B. The
recommendations on Errata Sheet B include the elimination of the Valley River
Bridge Project from the document and moving forward both the Westmoreland/
e

18th Avenue Bike/Pedestrian Overcrossing and the Greenway Bike Path projects.
Ms. Czerniak noted that if the council chooses to move those projects for-
ward, staff recommends that it do so without making other adjustments to
projects at this time. Staff was available to answer questions.
Mayor Miller opened the public hearing.
Mort Turnbull, 2685 Turnbull Lane, submitted written testimony expressing
concerns with the City's ability to provide emergency medical services to the
residents of the Willakenzie/Cal Young neighborhoods. He provided a brief
history of Station 6 and on behalf of the Cal Young Neighborhood Association
made two requests: 1) that essential upgrades to Station 6 not be dependent
upon prior construction of Station 2 or the upgrading of Station 10 and 2)
that upgrades to Station 6 and associated funding be completed as soon as
possible.
Wally Donnelly, 2090 Providence Street, representing the Cal Young Neighbor-
hood Association, voiced concern with emergency medical service response
times in his neighborhood and urged the City to reconsider its past decision
regarding Station 6.
Tom Wolterink, 2934 SW Fairmount Boulevard, Portland, speaking as a consul-
tant of the Valley River Inn, urged the council to continue to study all
means of improving traffic flow in the Valley River Inn area. He stated that
improved traffic flow is needed for citizens' health and safety, as well as
for logistical reasons. He also encouraged the council not to eliminate any
of the pedestrian/bike pathways in the area.
Jean Holtham, 389 North Polk Street, supported the elimination of the pro-
posed Valley River Bridge study, highlighting the adverse aesthetic impacts
an additional automobile bridge would have on a residential area. In light
of the fuel shortage, she said that the City should do everything possible to
promote bicycle usage.
--
Richard Guske, 1005 Clark Street, stated that residents of the Whiteaker
neighborhood support, for health and safety reasons, the Budget Committee's
recommendation to eliminate any further study of the proposed Valley River
Bridge.
James Fish, 296 North Grand, testified in support of eliminating the Valley
River Bridge study.
Jeff Lake, 345 N Grand, spoke in opposition to the Valley River Bridge study
and urged the council to stop all future consideration of constructing an
additional bridge in the area.
Jan Wostmann, 2645 Riverview Drive, testified on behalf of the Laurel Hill
Neighborhood Association in favor of approval of the draft CIP with the in-
clusion of the Budget Committee's recommendations. The Laurel Hill Neighbor-
hood Association supports this position for many of the reasons stated previ-

ously and believes that the City should take actions to encourage alternate
modes of transportation usage.
Cheryle Hawkins, 1350 Bailey Avenue, spoke on behalf of the Whiteaker Commu-
nity Council in support of the draft CIP with the Budget Committee's amend-
ments. She said that the Valley River Bridge study is premature, and noted
that a comprehensive study of the area needs to be undertaken to help identi-
fy all factors which contribute to traffic congestion in the area. She said
she felt that inadequate public notice was given for this hearing. She also
stated that the draft CIP should be revised to include the entire list of
Maurie Jacobs Memorial Park improvements.
Ricar West, 1345 Bailey Avenue, submitted written testimony presented by
Cheryle Hawkins, in favor of withdrawing the proposed Valley River Bridge
study from the CIP.
Richard Wright, 1043 Mill Street, testified in favor of the $25,000 alloca-
tion within the CIP for street-tree planting. He commended the City on its
decision to hire an urban forester and its commitment and support of the Tree
Commission.
e
Carl Vanderzanden, 95 North Polk, spoke in favor of eliminating the Valley
River Bridge study from the CIP and urged the City to take a comprehensive
approach to transportation planning.
Howard Bonnett, 1835 East 28th, read a statement on behalf of the Fairmount
Neighborhood Organization in support of the Budget Committee's recommended
modifications to the draft CIP, particularly the elimination of the Valley
River Bridge study.
Jennifer Hodgen, 176 North Grand, spoke in favor of eliminating the Valley
River Bridge study from the CIP now and in the future.
Ceila Levine, 285 Owosso, concurred with those who spoke before her and ex-
pressed concern about the impact that removal of the Greenway Bike Bridge
would have on the environment. She encouraged the City to retain this bridge
as a pedestrian/bicycle transportation pathway.
Gary Adams, 331 Maple Street, voiced concerns about the Maple Street improve-
ment project (on page 156 of the draft CIP) and the impact assessments would
have on his house payments. He urged the City to re-evaluate the ratio of
house assessments to Systems Development Charges (SDCs), taking into account
the economic nature of the neighborhood being assessed.
Gwen Heineman, 331 Maple Street, concurred with Mr. Adam's concerns about the
proposed Maple Street reconstruction. She objected to the sizable cost of
the improvement project and the impact it would have on house payments in the
neighborhood. She noted that many of the residents do not support the plan
and said that if the City still believes that reconstruction of Maple Street
is necessary, the bulk of the cost should not be borne by neighborhood resi-
dents.

__ Tamara Crafts, 345 North Grand Street, voiced objections to the construction
of an additional automobile bridge in the Valley River area, commenting that
the community needs to support alternative modes of transportation.
Donald R. Amacher, 2067 Musket Street, spoke as a representative of three
office buildings in the Valley River area urging the council to reconsider
eliminating the Valley River Bridge study from the CIP. He commented on the
increased traffic problems which have been generated by substantial increases
in density in the area, and said that a comprehensive evaluation of the area
is needed to address these problems.
Carol Bakkensen, 280 North Polk, testified against the Valley River Bridge
study expressing concerns for the potential safety hazard that would result
from increased automobile traffic in the area.
Lina Van Brunt, 1345 Bailey Avenue, spoke in favor of eliminating the Valley
River Bridge study from the CIP, remarking that every effort should be made
to preserve the neighborhood orientation of the area.
Dick Hansen, 2744 Tomahawk Lane, identified himself as the General Manager of
Valley River Center and spoke in favor of the Valley River Bridge study in
order to address extreme traffic congestion problems in the area. He pointed
out that the TransPlan identifies the need for construction of an additional
bridge and urged the council to reconsider the Budget Committee's recommenda-
tion.
e
Stanton Cook, 1832 Longview Avenue, testified in opposition to the Valley
River Bridge study suggesting that the money which would have been used on
this study be redirected toward the community's social service needs. He
also commented that the lack of a bike path between Eugene and Glenwood is a
significant safety hazard, and encouraged the City to consider bike path
construction in this area.
Greg Johnson, 110 North Jackson, testified against the Valley River Bridge
study noting that a bridge would detract from the quality of life in Eugene.
Gregory Ahlijian, 42083 Deerhorn Road, Springfield, testified on behalf of
the Eugene Tree Commission in support of the $25,000 allocated for street
trees. He thanked the council for its demonstrated support of the Tree Com-
mission, and indicated that a healthy urban forest is of benefit to all Eu-
gene residents.
Brian Churchhill, 1610 East 43rd Avenue, spoke on behalf of the Bicycle Com-
mittee in support of bike path improvements along the river corridor. He
voiced opposition to the Valley River Bridge study, and spoke about the need
to improve bicycle access to downtown.
Edward Winter, 85354 Doane Road, identified himself as a business owner in
the Whiteaker neighborhood and testified in support of all of the Budget
Committee's recommended modifications to the CIP.

tit Steven Mueller, 65 Lund Drive, testified in support of eliminating
the Valley River Bridge study from the CIP noting that he does not support
additional development along Goodpasture Island Road. Every effort should be
made to preserve the park-like nature of the river corridor.
Tom Thacker, 110 North Jackson, concurred with those who testified before
him in opposition to the Valley River Bridge study noting that increased
automobile traffic would detract from the residential nature of the Whiteaker
area.
Glen Lally, 346 N Grand Street, speaking on behalf of himself and his neigh-
bor Susan Applegate, 340 North Grand Street, stated his vehement opposition
to the construction of an additional automobile bridge across the Willamette
River.
P. Yuri Samer, 2940 Hilyard Street, testified on the Lorane Highway project
(page 119 of the draft CIP). He voiced concerns with extreme traffic safety
hazards that exist along Lorane Highway and asked that priority be given to
highway reconstruction in the area. He also pointed out that some community
residents believed that testimony at this hearing would be limited to the
Valley River Bridge study only; as a result, the number of citizens testify-
ing on the Lorane Highway issue this evening may under-represent the number
of citizens interested.
e
Mary Bentsen, 950 West 16th Avenue, spoke on behalf of two neighborhood or-
ganizations who support the decision to delete the Valley River Bridge study
from the draft CIP. She also commended the Budget Committee for recommenda-
tions regarding the prioritization of projects within the CIP.
Mindy Wekselblatt, 1355 Bailey Avenue, speaking on behalf of her daughter,
testified in opposition to the Valley River Bridge study out of concerns for
the health and safety of park users in the area.
Connie Toomey, 2577 Harris, identified herself as an avid bicycle commuter
and spoke in opposition to the proposed Valley River Bridge overpass. She
noted that bike pathways along the east bank of the river should be completed
to give continuity to the bikeway system and encouraged the council to retain
the non-vehicular nature of the existing Greenway Bridge. She also voiced
concerns with safety in the Lorane Highway area and urged the City to make
the necessary improvements in that area.
Bedo Crafts, 2674 Harris, testified in support of increased pedestrian orien-
tation rather than automobile access around the area of Valley River Center
and urged the council to look for new solutions to traffic problems in the
area.
Linda Frohbach, 133 West Hilliard Lane, identified herself as a long-time
community resident and testified in support of eliminating the Valley River
Bridge from further study.

tit Mayor Miller noted that several letters have been received on this issue.
There being no additional requests to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Ms. Czerniak indicated that staff from various City departments would be
available to answer council questions.
Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Les Lyle, Public Works Department,
said that the council could re-initiate the Lorane Highway Project. (In the
early 80's, the council did not overturn a remonstrance of the project.) He
pointed out that because road fund moneys are involved in the project, choos-
ing to move it forward would alter priorities in the CIP. Ms. Ehrman asked
the council to consider re-initiating this project as a means of moving it
forward.
e
Mr. Gleason advised the council that if it is interested in moving forward
the Lorane Highway project that it look to the Metropolitan Policy Committee
(MPC) for a joint funding effort using road fund moneys.
Responding to a question from Mr. Robinette, Mr. Gleason said that funding
for the Valley River Bridge study involves the County, the City, and the
private sector. Money that has been allocated for this study could not be
transferred for efforts to reopening Station 6.
Mr. MacDonald noted that although previously opposed to moving the Lorane
Highway study forward because of the history in the area of resident opposi-
tion to assessment costs, he would be willing to reevaluate this position.
He asked the council to consider moving this project forward contingent on
the ability to obtain agreement on the part of residents in the area.
Responding to questions from Mr. Boles regarding the Maurie Jacobs Memorial
Park improvements, John Etter, PARCS Department, said that the entire list of
park improvements was not included in the CIP because the projects did not
follow the normal City processes with respect to funding. He indicated,
however, that it would be appropriate to include the full list of projects in
the CIP. Mr. Boles clarified that projects be listed within the CIP in clear
priority order and, in turn, that regardless of their funding source, they be
funded with respect to that prioritization order.
Responding to a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Lyle said that the Maple Street
improvement was identified a potential project in both the TransPlan and the
Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan. Because this street is classified as a col-
lector, SDC funds would be involved in the street improvement.
Responding to a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Lyle said that because of the
scale of the Valley River Bridge project, an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) analysis of the area would be appropriate.
In response to questions from Ms. Ehrman, Dave Reinhard, Public Works Trans-
portation, said that the Willakenzie Refinement Plan addresses and makes

recommendations for many transportation issues in the area, but does not
include a study of transportation issues in the Valley River area because the
feasibility study was already planned within the CIP. Responding to ques-
tions about the State's responsibilities with respect to transportation plan-
ning in this area, Mr. Reinhard said that the City regards the Valley River
Bridge issue as primarily a local responsibility. However, any discussions
of traffic in the surrounding area would involve discussions and coordination
with the State.
Responding to public testimony regarding the proximity of the proposed Valley
River Bridge and the Greenway Bike Bridge, Mr. Reinhard assured the public
that if a bridge was to be constructed, it would be constructed downstream
from the bridge and have as little impact on bike/pedestrian pathways and
park land as possible.
Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Mr. Lyle said that none of the EIS
studies that have been conducted within the past decade have yielded a no-
build solution.
Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Mr. Reinhard said that the addition
of a third lane on Delta Highway at the Valley River interchange area added
some traffic capacity to the area and appears to have improved the congestion
problems, as well as improved traffic safety in the area.
e
Mr. Gleason remarked that the City needs to conduct an in-depth analysis of
the entire Delta Highway system prior to discussions about the location of a
bridge. He emphasized that increased traffic loads are expected to take
place on the Delta Highway over the next several years, regardless of whether
the City meets its aggressive alternative modes goals.
Mr. Nicholson commented that the lack of General Fund resources is a primary
reason why no action has been taken to reinstate the Cal Young/Harlow fire
station. He asked if there would be alternative funding sources for this
project if it were advanced in the CIP. Dave Whitlow, Assistant City Manag-
er, reminded the council that the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC)
would be making a recommendation next month on the final draft of the Long-
Range Plan. This would be the appropriate time for the council to hold this
discussion at which time it could consider whether to move this item forward
in the CIP.
Ms. Bascom asked whether the Beltline Bridge is identified in the TransPlan
as seriously deficient. Mr. Reinhard responded that the bridge is identified
in the State highway planning process for long-range improvements. The City
would coordinate with the State on discussions about the relationship between
the Beltline and Valley River areas.
(At 9:20 p.m., the council took a five minute break).
Mr. Rutan moved, seconded by Mr. Robinette, to adopt the draft

Capital Improvement Program for FY91-92 through FY96-97, in-
corporating amendments recommended by the Planning Commission
as noted on Errata Sheet A.
Ms. Bascom said that the motion does not deal with the issues discussed this
evening. Recognizing that the Valley River traffic problem is very broad and
should be analyzed prior to making a final decision, she submitted the fol-
lowing amendment:
Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Robinette, to amend the
motion to replace the proposed Valley River Bridge study list-
ed in the CIP with a comprehensive study of Goodpasture Island
Road access.
e
Ms. Ehrman asked whether a redefined study such as the one that Ms. Bascom is
suggesting would include an EIS. In response, Christine Andersen, Public
Works Director, said that the scope of the study being suggested by Ms.
Bascom would be larger than traditional EIS studies. It would require a
review of TransPlan and would include a thorough analysis of alternative
modes of transportation. Environmental impacts would be analyzed, but an EIS
would not be undertaken as part of the comprehensive study.
Responding to a question from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Andersen said that Beltline,
1-105, and the Ferry Street Bridge would be included as part of the area of
impact. The State would be involved in these discussions.
Mr. Boles said he cannot support the motion for this study because the impli-
cations and consequences of undertaking such a study are unclear, particular-
ly with respect to the private sector, which is expected to contribute fund-
ing resources.
Mr. MacDonald said that that City needs a comprehensive study of traffic flow
in the Goodpasture Island area.
Responding to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Reinhard said that the Val-
ley River Bridge study is included in the long-range section of TransPlan.
TransPlan indicates that an Environmental Assessment would have to be con-
ducted prior to deciding on the need or location of a bridge.
Mr. Gleason pointed out that while the private sector was planning to partic-
ipate in funding of the study, it is unclear whether it will still be willing
to participate financially now that the nature of the study has changed.
Mr. Nicholson expressed concern with the process by which this issue has
reached the council. He stated that a comprehensive TransPlan analysis
should be conducted prior to making any decision.
Mr. Green commented on the significant congestion problem that exists during
peak traffic areas in Valley River and pointed out the ramifications of such
congestion in terms of willingness to pay. He disagreed with those who feel
that helping Valley River Center merchants would only harm downtown and

pointed out that consumers' buying patterns have dictated a closed-in shop-
ping arena.
Mr. Rutan moved, seconded by Mr. Green, to end debate on the
amendment. Roll call vote; the motion carried, 5:3; with
councilors Rutan, Green, Bascom, Ehrman, and Robinette voting
in favor; and councilors Boles, MacDonald, and Nicholson vot-
ing opposed.
Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Mr. Gleason clarified that the type
of study contemplated within the amendment would be broader than previously
anticipated. It would not result in an EIS but would include some assessment
of environmental impacts.
The amendment carried, 5:4; with councilors Bascom, Green,
Ehrman, and Robinette, and Mayor Miller voting in favor; and
councilors Boles, Nicholson, Rutan, and MacDonald voting op-
posed.
e
Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Bascom, to include a listing
of the Maurie Jacobs Memorial Park improvements within the
CIP. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0.
Mr. MacDonald provided the council and the City Manager with a list of com-
ments on the Valley River Bridge study. He stated further that he is willing
to put forth an effort to work with all parties involved in the Lorane High-
way issue to find an acceptable solution and noted that adjacent property
owners are key parties in the solution.
Mr. MacDonald moved, seconded by Mr. Boles, to amend the mo-
tion to move the Lorane Highway project forward one year in
the CIP, contingent on the ability to demonstrate agreement
among stakeholders and interested parties in this issue.
Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Mr. Gleason indicated that moving
this project forward one year within the CIP would be congruent with his
suggestions for handling this issue vis-a-vis the County road funds.
The amendment carried unanimously, 8:0.
Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Nicholson, to amend the
motion to move the the Westmoreland/18th Avenue Overcrossing
project and the Greenway Bike Path projects forward in the
cIP, consistent with the Budget Committee's recommendation.
Mr. Green said he was not convinced of the need to move the bike path con-
structions forward.
Acknowledging concerns for a lack of available funding for these projects,
Ms. Ehrman commented on the need to make a statement about the City's commit-
ment to supporting an alternative modes of transportation system.

schedule changes. Mr. Boles requested that the fee schedule be presented to
the council with information about the true cost of service provision and
whether the fee-setting process includes phased-in cost recovery.
Mr. MacDonald indicated that he will be attending a meeting with members of
the building community and asked Mayor Miller for feedback regarding the
impacts of increased fees on the development community. In response, Mayor
Miller said th~t while concerns have been expressed in the past on the part
of the development community about bearing the full burden of development,
the community has not seemed unwilling to pay its fair share.
