Ra.ndy said they have allocated $2 million and so far we have identified $1.4 million. There is no reason not to go after more. The city does have a lot of urban renewal dollazs available. ~ The iss ue of shonng was discussed. If you are just going to 12 feet, you won't need to shore. With either of the two new options, shoring will need to be done and there are additional costs involved. Pence/Kelly will get some numbers after receiving engineering information. They have the option of using kickers or tie backs to shore and will use tie backs with screws into the street. There is the possibility of problems with utilities in the street with either option. How many Pl opNons are we evaluating? We are looking at the two new ones, and especially if Option 2 is viable. We should have enough data on the 278 option to compare the three. Leonard will revisit to see if accurate. Dan P suggested we work hard on these options. If Option 1 can work, then we need to pursue discussions with the city as soon as possible on revocable permits. MNIDC will take drawings back to Rick today and they will have Walker also review for additional input. De-watering Work Phase 1 and Phase 2 have been completed. We have raw data available and Mike is saying we don't need it if we are doing Pl. The analysis write up will be $6,000 and there is no reason now to expend these dollars. DEQ's request re: sewer contaminates has been taken care of with a sample being sent out for analysis. Discussions retumed to environmental issues and forcing the issue with Sta.tesma.n Joumal. The ~; attomey was not available due to recent medical situation. 7erry Hodson is saying they have closed the discussions and they don't want an agreement. Commissioner Franke, chair of County Board of Commissioners, doesn't want to force the issue and pursue other alternatives. The question was why should we dig 25 feet when the Statesman is only going to 13 feet. Dan P. was not convinced, even without the environmental issue, that P2 made sense. If this works, we are ahead dolla.r wise. Dan B. asked if there would be risk to county for efficiency. Randy responded that the risk now is it appropriate to do this. If parking county goes down, then we will go there. We have backdoor options that can get our count up to 400-425. We are comfortable with the parking ratio. If the count is up to at least 350 then it is a go and we have flexibility across the street. We are still at a 3/1 ratio. If the ratio of standards/compacts goes down, then we can talk. Leonard added that Salem requires 19 feet length for standard. Right now the two rows in the center of Option 1 are compacts. The larger vehicles being parked in the service area on the first floor is under review. Bill asked what do we do with GRI, shut it down? We have raw data, and according to Stan it looks similar to what he saw. Centurywest has expended $17,000 towards this effort to date. The $17,000 is what? There was a correction to the amount by Centurywest. There is a $30,600 bill for county: GRI $17,100 and Centurywest $13,500. Centurywest is to rewrite work order #24 to cover those costs and GRI expenses are against their contract, and they will supply ~ an invoice on that portion. Do you want to spend the $6,000 for the plan? Mike Ha ford Y says it is of no value to hun. We don't want to throw it way. We will keep and analyze it if and Page 3 of 10
