Ms. Boyle noted the document included area maps, on pages 17 through 20, in order to provide a better <br />resource for the public to be able to see the projects planned for the particular areas of the City. Another <br />change she called attention to was the inclusion of operating costs in some projects, such as the Echo <br />Hollow Aquatic Facility. <br />Ms. Boyle explained that the draft CIPs had been distributed in December, 2004, to the City Council, the <br />Budget Committee, neighborhood associations, several community centers, interested parties and was <br />posted to the City's website and made available at the Public Library She said staff had offered all <br />neighborhood associations the opportunity to have a staff presentation on the CIP, but no one as yet had <br />requested such a presentation. She noted that the City also planned to advertise opportunities for comment <br />in both The Register-Guard and The Eugene Weekly. <br />Ms. Boyle reported that the Planning Commission had recommended adoption of the CII' with two <br />modifications, as follows: <br />• That funding be included for several types of projects, including.traffic calming, residential <br />street lighting, residential street trees, access ramps, and mixed use pedestrian amenities <br />projects; <br />• That the neighborhood needs analysis process be reinstituted in the development of the next <br />_ CIP in two years. <br />Ms. Solomon arrived. <br />Ms. Boyle said staff would return before the Budget Committee on. February 22 for afollow-up discussion. <br />She stated that, because the council was expected to hold a public hearing on the CIP on February 28, the <br />timeline was "tight." <br />Mark Schoening, city engineer for the Public Works Department, provided an overview of the Airport CIl' <br />He stated that most of the airport projects had arisen from the Airport Master Plan, the Airport Federal <br />Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) Management Plan, and the Federal Aviation <br />Administration (FAA) Five-Year Plan. He said all of the projects, funded and unfunded, that were thought <br />to be needed over the next six years were on that list. Once on the list, he explained, the projects could be <br />matched with funding. He noted the realignment of Airport Road had not been included on the previous <br />CIP nor on the present C1P but, because of the timing of FAA funds the City Council had adopted a <br />supplemental budget that had moved the project into the current budget in December, 2004. <br />Regarding a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Schoening clarified that the expansion of the airport terminal <br />was planned for the sixth year of the CIP and was dependent on the. expansion of carrier service. He noted <br />that the Airport Master Plan would be updated in 2008. <br />Mr. Paps arrived. - -~ , <br />Continuing, Mr. Schoening highlighted the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Division CIP. He stated <br />that the source of the projects was the existing Parks and Recreation Plan. He commented that this plan <br />differed from the previous one in that there were no unfunded projects included on the list because the plan <br />was still being updated, the Mayor's committee completed its work at the end of 2004, and staff did not <br />want to presuppose the outcome at this point. <br />Mr. Schoening said systems development charges (SDCs) were being updated and the completion of that <br />process was dependent on adoption of the Master Plan. <br />MINUTES-Eugene Budget Committee February 7, 2005 Page 2 <br />
