traffic to the corner. With the bus and parking traffic, we are going to load the corner of Chemeketa and High, especially when they are turning south onto High Street. Church Street is ~ under utilized. Routing traffic south onto Church would enhance the building. The cost becomes an issue when we configure the signals for the busses. We need to know where the city stands and the cost. ACTION: Len will address the configuration of signals at Court and Church to the city. ITEM 3: Property Acquisition The remaining two properties are in escrow. The papers are ready to go. Randy will sign them tomorrow. The key to the wine shop has not been turned in and Dan is still holding the check. The CenturyWest letter has been sent to the FTA. Copies will be sent to transit. Dan is setting up a meeting for after April 15, to see what documents Ben already has and what he needs. Dan said that a lot of the documentation is with David Hartwig. The attorneys need to know what the building looks like. Mike Hansen has reached a point where he can move forward, but we are a month away from closing. Tenant Relocation: Harlow is in the process of moving. Doug has received his draw and the Commercial Street address has been approved. He will be out on Apri121. Vandermay has written a letter saying that they intend to be out on April 21. Dan will contact the contractor for the building they are moving into. If the building is not ready for occupancy, we will have to go in with an eviction notice on the 21 st. One tenant in the Liu Building is not cooperating. He has taken a position that since Marion County does not own the building, he does not have to acknowledge our 90 day notice. Dan said that under the Relocation Act, we are giving him adequate notice. His request for $4,800.00 has been approved. If he is not out by the 90 days, we will go in with an eviction. Relocation Benefit Documentation: Once the relocation is complete, Elyn will file this. Real Property Tax Relief: Randy will have Elyn get the paperwork to Dan for the Real Property Tax Relief on the Dog Control site. ITEM 4: Demolition and Abatement Tuesday, April 1, 9:00 a.m. was confirmed as the time to review the bids. Jim Sears will contact Debbie Allen, to have his own staff involved in the project. Dan is expecting some substantial recycling bids. Debbie will be able to analyze whether we are getting full value for the materials, recycled versus salvaged. The bids are sealed, which will meet FTA requirements. Kathleen will be two hours late to the meeting. This will give us time to review and prioritize the bids and determine which we want to focus on. ITEM 5: Financing ~ A new 90 day budget will be complete next week. Randy is working with Solid Waste on a temporary loan of $Smil.
