(HWI) PROJECT. Council Bill 1244 was introduced by Councilor Jennings. The bill was read by title only since there were no objections from the Council. Public Works Director Tiwari reviewed the potential location of the project and addressed the infrastructure improvements and traffic flow issues involved with the proposed development. He outlined the costs that the City would incur with these improvements along with the costs to developers, and availablity of state grants and loans. The infrastructure improvements would solve some of the current water and sewer line problems the City is currently experiencing in the West Woodburn area. Property taxes would not be used to finance the improvements, rather, development fees within the capital improvement funds. Discussion was also held on the widening of a portion of Highway 214 and a portion of the cost may be allocated to the City. If so, revenues generated from state Revenue Sharing funds would be used to pay for the highway improvement rather than utilizing city gas tax revenues. Terry Withers, Chamber President, spoke in favor of the proposed resolution since the development would open up the west side of the freeway and provide economic support to the community. Following some additional discussion of the issue by the Council, 2263 the roll call vote on final passage of the bill was unanimous. Mayor Kirksey declared Council Bill 1244 duly passed. 22IQ ~:t~~.ER~li~RVI~JLK~E~~.t ~ROl1_M:QB I LE HOME PARK NORTH OF MACLAREN SCHOOL.
