He has been working diligently to involve many <br /> people attempting to come to consensus on the street and parking lot design. Included in these <br /> discussions have been Ted Norman from Babe Ruth, Bud DeSantis and Jeff Lankston from Engineering, <br /> Gary McNeel and Dave Reinhard from Transportation, and Steve Cornacchia from Lane County. At least <br /> four different alternatives have been processed. From the Parks Planning and Babe Ruth perspective, the <br /> desire is not to have a through street in the central part of a school /park /recreation complex. From the <br /> Transportation perspective, the desire is for a through street. Steve Cornacchia's perspective is a desirable <br /> design that is affordable. <br /> The through street concept designs are generally estimated at approximately $400,000. Steve was <br /> definitely concerned about the ability to fund that amount of money. Apparently the County has <br /> committed up to $500,000 to the school project. John believes the current estimate coming from Bud <br /> DeSantis for that project is now about $256,000. From Steve's perspective, it would be a much easier <br /> task to get the Commissioners to approve the difference being committed to the Babe Ruth street than <br /> asking for money above the $500,000. <br /> I understand John's current design is slightly over $200,000, which meets the dollar amount Steve thinks <br /> is workable. The way John has done this design, if there is a need for a through street, it can be extended <br /> fairly easily at a later date or when financing is available. Chris has a meeting Monday afternoon with the <br /> Mayor. I believe she is going to brief him regarding the status of the Babe Ruth facility. I am taking a copy <br /> of the current plan to her for that meeting. <br /> It seems that the current design is somewhere in the middle, meeting several people's desires. John has <br /> been in a tough position trying to get agreement out of numerous people who are trying to accomplish <br /> different goals. Hope this e-mail helps get us all on the same page. <br /> From: REINHARD Dave N <br /> To: HAMMITT Bob; ANDERSEN Chris F; LYLE Les A; LANKSTON Jeff <br /> Cc: McNEEL Gary A; LUDEKE Gary L <br /> Subject: RE: Babe Ruth Street <br /> Date: Thursday, January 29, 1998 3:09PM <br /> John did ask me last week about the concept of only building about the western half of the street initially, <br /> due to lack of funding for the whole thing. My understanding was that he would look at a design for the <br /> east "end" of the street that would keep options open for extending it eventually to the east. I told him <br /> that if there was not going to be enough funding I thought it was reasonable to try to go with a western <br /> section only. Guess I thought there would be some additional review of this with Trans. and Eng. divisions <br /> Page 1 <br />
