MINUTES OF MEETING
October 17, 1990

Voting members present were Chair Judy McGinty, Lew Thompson, Pat Heffernan, Ron
Timpe and Sharon Loffelmacher. Also present was Jane VanderPloeg, chair of the
Hallinan Heights Neighborhood Association. Kathy Hansen, staff liaison from the Parks
and Recreation Department, was also present.

1 . Page 3. South Shore — 13,750 linear feet. Royce Way — delete the phrase "in
this budget year." Carman Drive —delete "developer's project."
Page 4. Cherry Lane — correct to Chapin Road. Carman Drive — delete

Page 5. Bergis Road — change to Timberline. Goodall Road — delete.
Lew Thompson moved that the minutes of the May 11 , 1990 meeting be approved as
corrected, and Pat Heffernan seconded. Motion was unanimously approved.
III. OPEN PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS.
Jane VanderPloeg, representing Hallinan Heights, expressed her neighborhood's two
primary goals: 1) To perserve the "forest look" of the area, and 2) To help facilitate
better pathways and parks. The neighborhood would like a pathway along the creek to
George Rogers Park. Lew Thompson pointed out the [proposed] River Loop connecting
the Hallinan area to George Rogers Park. The loop connects Cornell to McVey to the
Park. Jane stated that the paths serve different purposes. The Loop plan is for serious
runners and walkers, where the trail is for parents with young children.
IV. OLD BUSINESS.
A. Review final proposal for Bryant and Kerr Road for recommendation to
Pathway Hearing Body on October 23. Ron Timpe expressed concern that
building a minor pathway on the east side of Bryant between West Bay and
Deerbrush sets up an unrealistic expectation for pathways included in the bond
measure.
Lew Thompson and Sharon Loffelmacher felt if the consultants could complete
the project within this year's pathway budget of $225,000, to "go for it."
Judy McGinty expressed concern over Kittelson's results of traffic issues. The
survey was completed on weekend and did not reflect the potential school use.
Sharon Loffelmacher felt the foot and bike traffic will increase along Bryant with
the pathways installed.
The Committee was also concerned about the bond completing the
recommended routes. The figures for the bond were based on $22.00 per foot
for one side of the road.

Lew Thompson moved to accept the recommendations of KPFF, subject tCA
the minor pathway on Bryant being reprioritized if it cannot be funded
within this funding allocation. Ron Timpe seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously. is I
The Committee agreed with the Kerr Road recommendations.
The Committee discussed concerns, however, that traffic lights should be
addressed through funding mechanisms other than pathway funds.
Pat Heffernan moved that any issue regarding traffic improvements should
be addressed by City staff and coordinated with the construction of the
actual pathway; traffic improvements themselves, however, should be
funded by separate City mechanisms. ron Timpe seconded the motion,
whihc passed unanimously.
B. Bryant Road Bridge. Judy McGinty phoned Richard Dopp, Director of the
Clackamas County Department of Transportation. He was unaware a letter of
agreement had been signed by the City and the County. The Committee has a
copy of the letter signed in July of this year. Jerry Baker has stated that the City
now needs to approve the plans. The Committee designated Sharon
Loffelmacher to "bird—dog" the project.
C. Budget, FY 1990-91. $225,000 in this year's budget for pathways. Ron Timpe
will follow up on old pathway budgets to track developer's fees for pathways.
D. Pathway Procedures and Time Lines. (Refer to Judy McGinty's notes, Page 1 ,
Section D. attached to these minutes; note difference between original
anticipated timetable and actual timetable.) •
The Committee discovered that realistically, the pathway process takes 7 — 8
months, including construction. The Committee felt it is important to start the
public hearing process on the Lake Loop as soon as the bond is ready.
The Committee also discussed the Bryant and Kerr Road pathway process. It
was agreed that the public meetings needed more structure, to set a time limin
on public comments and to give the consultants a better orientation on the
process and conduct of public meetings.
V NEW BUSINESS.
The Committee decided to hold their meetings the second Wednesday of the month.
The next meeting was scheduled for November 14 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
