PUBLIC HEARINGS: Renaming Oregon Avenue - MF#90-22-M. Mr. David McDonald, Director of Community Development, reported that because the northern and southern portions of Oregon Avenue are misaligned and separated by Highway 395, there may be some justification for changing the name of a portion of that street. Because Oregon Avenue extends beyond the northern City limits for some distance, it may be advisable to coordinate name change efforts with the County. There are five businesses on Oregon Avenue within the City and three businesses on Oregon Avenue in the County that could be affected by a name change. Mr. Hendler asked if everyone received notices of the meeting. Staff replied that notices were sent to residents north of the highway only. Mr. Kilbury gave a brief history of Oregon Avenue and recommended that portion lying north of 1-182 be renamed Railroad Avenue and that Highway 395 north of 1-182 be named Oregon Avenue. Mr. Kilbury informed his collegues that only the City Council has the authority to name a City Street. Ms. Sharon Clark, Postal Service Driver, concurred that the numbering along Oregon Avenue is very confusing because the County starts with low number where the City leaves off. Therefore, more than one business along Oregon Avenue may have the same number. She suggested calling the area north of Highway 395 Oregon Place, Lane, etc. Mr. Jim Yamauchi, member of Franklin County Planning Commission, defended Franklin County's position because you have to have a point of beginning. Mr. Crutchfield, City Manager, recommended that City and County staff identify best solution for each of the two agencies.

Council directed City Staff to meet with Franklin County Officials in an effort to resolve differences and report back. ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS NOT RELATED TO PUBLIC HEARINGS: ORDINANCE NO. 2790.
