President of the Willamette Animal Guild (WAG}— Ms. Winans noted that earlier this year WAG applied for and received a $50,000 grant to spay and neuter free roaming cats in the City of Springfield. She thanked those in City government who had been helpful in getting this program going. This would do much to address the cat problem. This was the Mayor's program and she thanked Mayor Lundberg and Councilor Woodrow for their hard work on this program. She also thanked Mike Harman from the Police Department who had City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 3 also worked hard to make this happen, and City Manager Gino Grimaldi. She asked those in the audience that supported this program to stand. She distributed the WAG newsletter. Councilor Woodrow thanked Ms. Winans for the amount of time she had put into this program. 2. Charlotte Behm, Springfield, OR. Ms. Behm said she was very excited about this cat program. It was very much needed in Springfield and she hoped Council would support it with approval of the contract tonight. In addition to those at the City, she thanked Norma King for doing an incredible job trapping cats and sticking with this program for so long. 3. Allen Stewart, Franklin Boulevard, Eugene, OR Mr. Stewart said he had been trying to move his rental company into Booth Kelly for about 6 months. He was on the fourth copy of the contract and it continued to be changed. He wasn't sure who he should talk to about this and had worked with different staff members. He asked who he could talk with to get it straightened out so he could move into the building. Mayor Lundberg said City Manager Gino Grimaldi would speak with him. Mr. Grimaldi met with Mr. Stewart outside of the Council Chambers. 4. Norma King. Springfield, OR. Ms. King said she was the owner of Action Mower and Equipment Repair. She thanked the Council for helping her be able to do more than she was able to do on her own. There were a lot of cats that needed to be fixed. She appreciated the City working with them and hoped the program went well. Mayor Lundberg said over the years people had said we needed to do something about this issue. The City had needed to find partners and they were thankful for WAGS and Ms. King for taking this on and making it a program. She also thanked Mike Harman and Brian Austin from the Animal Control Department for their work in getting this program started. They now had a solution for an ongoing issue. She was thankful they were all able to help the community in this way. Rita Castillo, Springfield, OR. Ms. Castillo said she was here to thank the Council for their partnership and WAG getting this together. Mayor Lundberg noted that Mr. Berg had submitted a request to speak for 10 minutes which was approved. 6. Bruce Berg, Springfield, OR. Copies had been provided to the Mayor and Council by Mr. Berg relating to his testimony. Mr. Berg said the Washburne neighborhood was a bright spot in the City of Springfield showcasing primarily single family homes, some of which dated back to the 1880's. Mr. Berg and his wife had been owners of the historic 1901 Jess Seavey home for over 30 years, been involved with the City on various committees and were co- founders of the Washburne Neighborhood Association. With the recent application to move the historic Jenkins House from Glenwood into the Washbume Historic District at 425 D Street, he and his wife and adjacent neighbors became alarmed because the home could be converted into a duplex. The property in question was primarily surrounded by single family homes with fairly large lot sizes. When first notified of this move, they were unaware that approximately one -third of the Historic District was zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR), mostly along the western City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 4 border. Another third was proposed to become MDR in the proposed Metro Plan. Some historic properties were also being proposed to become Commercial Zone. In reviewing the map, it became clear why there were so many disjointed, unattractive properties in the western area that didn't conform to a true historic neighborhood. Another issue was that the density requirements for MDR were significantly raised by the State from eleven to twenty units per acre to fourteen to twenty-eight units per acre. Because of the concerns regarding the nature of Springfield's Historic District, he filed an appeal on the Historic Commission's approval to the PlanningCommission. Staff felt rather than that appeal, it would be best if Council discussed rezoning this and other historic properties. They were also told by staff it would cost approximately $50,000 for permits, fees and construction for the new owner of the property at 425 D Street to alter the Jenkins home from a single family home to a duplex. That information from planning staff convinced them to drop their appeal, along with the assurance that this property would be sold as a single family home by one of the applicants, Jim Porter. Mr. Porter did submit a single family building permit and not a duplex. In telling Mr. Porter, who lived in Eugene and fixed up older homes and resold them, their decision to drop the appeal he seemed relieved. But informed of the desire to rezone the lot to Low Density Residential (LDR) prior to him putting it on the market, he expressed his desire to keep it MDR so the next owner could convert it to a duplex. The long -term vision of viability in the Washbume Historic District should be more important than someone's short term financial gain. They felt the current MDR zoning undermined the financial and historical value of the neighborhood and all the neighboring properties around 425 D Street, and reduced the integrity of the entire Washbume Neighborhood. These issues had brought to light the need to revisit the zoning, in the central and western part of the Washbume Historic District. They urged Council to direct staff to look at the appropriateness of MDR zoning and plan designation in the Washbume District so this partly polished gem could be preserved and allowed to shine for decades to come. Every neighbor he approached that was close to the property (425 D Street) expressed disappointment in the dropping appeal, but none wanted a duplex. Once the area was converted to multi - family, the district could become decimated over time. The zoning was changed prior to Washbume being official on the national register, but no zoning changes had been made since 1987. He expressed concern regarding the proposal in the Metro Plan. Those in the neighborhood were concerned the Jenkins House would become a duplex in the future. Mr. Berg also asked if perhaps staff could look at the current boundaries of the Washbutme Historic District. In the letter, they asked that rezoning occur east of 4 °i Street. He noted the homes that were being considered for Commercial zoning and was not sure why they were chosen. They were concerned if rezoning was delayed it would be too late to keep 425 D Street a single family home. Mayor Lundberg asked Mr. Grimaldi about next steps if Council wanted to look more closely at this. Mr. Grimaldi said if the Council would like to look at changing some of the MDR to single family, and also look at the borders of the historic district, staff could look intolwhat would be involved and bring back a timeframe for that work. If the timeframe was acceptable to Council, staff would move ahead with that timeframe. If the Council chose to move at a faster or slower pace, staff would make adjustments. Councilor Ralston asked if the inconsistent buildings were infill City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 5 Mr. Berg said most were done in the 1950's and 1960's before the Washbume Historic District was established. East of 4a' Street, there were no apartment buildings other than one that was one -story. Councilor Brew said he was a huge fan of the Washbume Historic District and was also concerned when he heard about the building being moved. The Washbume Historic District was a gem and he was in favor of looking at this in terms of zoning and boundaries. Councilor Woodrow said this was an opportunity to preserve the history of this city. If it's lost, we never get it back. She would be in favor of doing it as quickly as possible. Councilor Moore asked what the designation of historic district meant and who established the guidelines. Mr. Berg said there were a lot of requirements. The Jenkins Home was a historic home that had been modified in Glenwood, but didn't meet the standards in the Washbume Historic District. Expediency was very critical and he would like to see this rezoned in the next six months. Years ago, there was one house on the two lots and now they were trying to put two houses on the two lots, and potentially two duplexes on the two lots. Councilor Moore asked if the historic designation was part of the zoning Mr. Grimaldi said the historic district designation did not affect whether something was single or multi - family. The historic district designation put on an extra layer of requirements and filters as people developed their properties, but did not change the underlying zoning. Mr. Berg said that was the main reason they dropped their appeal. Councilor VanGordon said he would like to look at the Washbume Historic District. He agreed that once it was lost, they couldn't get it back. He would be interested in knowing why it was zoned that way in the beginning. Mr. Berg said it had happened prior to him being on the Planning Commission or City Council Mayor Lundberg said the Council wanted to take a look at this as soon as possible. It did make a statement about housing densities for the City. They needed to keep in mind that the City had agreed on higher density and if they didn't apply that to the Washbume Historic District, they may need to apply it elsewhere. The last thing she would want to see was a lot of changes in how they did things. It was legitimate and well worth looking at preserving the Washbume Historic District. COUNCIL RESPONSE CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS 1. Correspondence from Gary McAfee, Regarding High Speed Rail IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO ACCEPT THE CORRESPONDENCE FOR FILING. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 6 BIDS ORDINANCES 1. Ordinance Amending Springfield Municipal Code 6.060 ORDINANCE NO. I — AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SPRINGFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE 6.060 BY ADDING AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CITY TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH PRIVATE OR NON - PROFIT PARKING ENFORCEMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS. Senior Management Analyst Courtney Griesel presented the staff report on this item. The Springfield Municipal Code currently stated the Police Department shall enforce parking within Springfield. This code language does not allow the City to contract or partner with other parking enforcement service providers, which limits opportunities for partnerships, potential cost savings, and improved service delivery.' Council was asked to adopt the proposed ordinance in order to allow for the opportunity to contract with certified parking enforcement service providers for the enforcement of parking violations as outlined in sections 6.005 to 6.075. No immediate fiscal impact was anticipated Mayor Lundberg noted that there still were no lines painted for parking spaces downtown and that needed to be done before they started enforcement. The point of enforcement was to keep cars moving and she would like to see some lines painted, perhaps with the Main Street lighting project. Councilor Brew asked if other cities used private enforcement for parking Ms. Griesel said yes, several cities such as Medford, Ashland and some in the Portland area had private entities that provided enforcement. Portland had a parking authority. Councilor Brew asked about the liability to the City if someone got upset over their ticket. Ms. Griesel said some of that would be included in the contract. The enforcement agency would also be required by the contract to be a certified enforcement entity. The City would be asking for more than State requirements in terms of how they interacted with citizens. Mayor Lundberg asked Chief Doney about his experience with a private enforcement company during his years with the City of Medford. Mr. Grimaldi noted this was Chief Doney's first Council meeting since being appointed. Chief Doney said the City of Medford had contracted for parking enforcement for about ten years. The . agency took care of City parking regulation violations for the parking garage and the on- street parking. He didn't recall any particular problems other than the usual people who got upset over being ticketed. The vendor took a cut from each citation. Contracting out the enforcement was beneficial for the Police Department as it allowed them to focus on other safety concerns. Councilor Moore asked when the City would be going out for bid City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 7 Ms. Griesel said staff was preparing to advertise for applicants for a Parking Advisory Committee. Staff would bring the appointments for that committee to the Council in April. In the interim, staff would be working with Finance to get the bid packet out. The Parking Advisory Committee would be involved in the recommendation of the enforcement entity. Staff wanted to put it together well in order to allow a variety of organizations to bid. She would work with staff who were looking at the downtown lighting project to get cost estimates to add striping into that project. Staff could come back and provide the cost impacts of adding striping. NO ACTION REQUESTED. FIRST READING ONLY. BUSINESS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL 1. Committee Appointments a. Appointment of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce Nominees to the Lane Workforce Partnership Board. Assistant City Manager Jeff Towery presented the staff report on this item. The Lane Workforce Partnership requested that Mr. Kubu, nominee from the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, be re- appointed to his position as required under federal regulations. Federal regulations guiding the Partnership required the City of Springfield to appoint from business nominations made by the Chamber of Commerce. The Lane Workforce Partnership was charged with directing the operation of local employment and training programs funded under the Work Force Investment Act (supplanting the Job Training Partnership Act). Lane Workforce Partnership assisted employers in recruiting and retaining employees, and helped individuals find employment and progress in their careers. They worked with approximately 700 Lane County businesses and served over 16,000 residents annually. Federal regulations required the City seek nominations from general- purpose business organizations (the Springfield Chamber of Commerce) for business appointments. The appointees must be business owners or managers in Springfield, but need not be City residents. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO RE- APPOINT JON KUBU, DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES AT SYMANTEC, TO THE LANE WORKFORCE PARTNERSHIP BOARD WITH A TERM TO EXPIRE DECEMBER 31, 2016. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. b. Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) Applicant Appointments. Housing Program Analyst Kevin Ko presented the staff report on this item. The CDAC consisted of six at -large positions from the community, one representative from the City Council and one representative from the Planning Commission. The CDAC advised the City Council on all matters related to the City's housing and community development activities which were funded annually by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds received from HUD. CDAC applications were encouraged from lower - income citizens and residents of lower income neighborhoods, racial and ethnic minorities, senior citizens, disabled individuals and female heads of households. All CDAC applicants must live within the city limits or the urban growth boundary of Springfield. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 8 The three positions available were the result of the expiring terms of Michael Heckard and Hadee Sabzalian, and the appointment of Tim Vos (former at -large member) as the Planning Commission representative. The notice of available positions was posted on September 25, 2013 and applications were accepted through November I, 2013. Three applications were received. Incumbent Michael Heckard was seeking reappointment to the CDAC. Council reviewed the applications and interviewed each applicant at its work session on November 25, 2013. After the interviews were completed, Council recommended each applicant for appointment to the CDAC. Staff was requesting that Council formally appoint Christine Stole, Shirley Glover and Michael Heckard to the CDAC. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO APPOINT CHRISTINE STOLE AND SHIRLEY GLOVER TO THE CDAC WITH TERMS EXPIRING DECEMBER 31, 2017. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO RE- APPOINT MICHAEL HECKARD TO THE CDAC WITH A TERM EXPIRING DECEMBER 31, 2017. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 2. Business from Council a. Committee Reports Councilor Woodrow thanked the City for all of the help and support involved with the parade and having to move it a week ahead. She knew the City was prepared to try to support the parade even in the ice. She appreciated everyone's support and had heard nothing but good response from the community. The Veterans had a great time in the LTD buses during the parade. Councilor Moore thanked Councilor Woodrow for her role in organizing the parade. It turned out to be a perfect day. 3. Mayor Lundberg said it was a great event. She reminded everyone that Thursday, January 9 was the State of the City address and all were invited to attend. BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER 1. Supplemental Budget Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -01 — A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING FUNDS: GENERAL REGIONAL WASTEWATER REVENUE BOND CAPITAL PROJECT REGIONAL WASTEWATER CAPITAL SDC Accounting Manager Nathan Bell presented the staff report on this item. At various times during the fiscal year the Council was requested to make adjustments to the annual budget to reflect needed I City of SprinOiield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 9 changes in planned activities, to recognize new revenues, or to make other required changes. These adjustments to resources and requirements changed the current budget and were processed through supplemental budget requests scheduled by the Finance Department on an annual basis. This was the second of four scheduled FYI supplemental budget requests to come before Council. The supplemental budget being presented included adjusting resources and requirements in: General, Regional Wastewater Revenue Bond Capital Project, Regional Wastewater Capital, SDC Transportation Reimbursement, SDC Transportation Improvement, Regional Wastewater, and Vehicle & Equipment Funds. The City Council was asked to approve the attached Supplemental Budget Resolution. The overall financial impact of the Supplemental Budget Resolution was to increase Operating Expenditures of $453,511, increase Capital Outlay $949,732, increase in Capital Projects $875,858, increase in Debt Payments $307,147, and approve an inter -fund transfer $80,000. These were offset by a change in Reserves ($2,346,248) and new revenue $320,000. Mr. Bell discussed the changes with this supplemental budget including a number from MWMC. None of the proposed changes met the 10% threshold requiring a public hearing; therefore, this was not a public hearing. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -01. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 2. Partnership with Willamette Animal Guild Senior Management Analyst Michael Harman presented the staff report on this item. Willamette Animal Guild (WAG) needed an affordable and accessible space to house cats before and after spay /neuter surgeries. The Police and Development and Public Works Departments were requesting that the City Manager be authorized to sign the attached partnership agreement with Willamette Animal Guild (WAG), allowing the use of space at Booth Kelly to temporarily house free roaming cats before and after spay /neuter surgeries. With support from the City, WAG had received a $50,000 grant from PetSmart to pay for the spaying and neutering of feral and free - roaming cats in Springfield. Under the terms of the grant, WAG had committed to spay roughly 1,000 cats per year for each of the next two years. With Council approval, the City was offering to allow WAG to use the space at Suite 153 at Booth Kelly for $1 per year each of the next two years. The space would be used to house cats just prior to surgery and during the recovery period for a few days afterwards. No surgeries would be performed on the site. Cats which were adoptable would then be moved to shelters for placement, and those which were unadoptable would be returned to the areas they came from, but would no longer contribute to the overpopulation problem. This partnership effort would have a significant and positive impact on reducing the numbers of free - roaming cats in Springfield. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 10 Mr. Harman thanked the people at WAG for their hard work in this proposal and the grant. The goal was to spay between 90 -100 cats per month over the next two years. This would make a substantial impact on the number of free roaming cats in Springfield. He thanked staff in Development and Public Works for putting the lease agreement together. Mayor Lundberg said everyone was happy with this. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A PARTNERSHII' AGREEMENT WITH WILLAMETTE ANIMAL GUILD (WAG) AUTHORIZING USE OF BOOTH KELLY SPACE. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 3. Approve a Sole Source Agreement and a Contract with Seawestem, Inc. for Procurement of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Equipment. Fire and Life Safety Management Analyst Jana Sorenson presented the staff report on this item. Self - Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBAs) were critical equipment for the safety and protection of every line Firefighter and Chief Officer. Springfield currently operated using fifty -two (52) MSA brand SCBA's purchased in June 2004. The expected life of these `air packs' was 8 — 10 years. The City of Eugene Fire & EMS replaced their SCBA's in 2012 with MSA air packs similar to the ones used by Springfield, but an updated version, with additional safety features and newer technologies. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sets industry standards for personal protective equipment, and updates the standards every 5 years. NFPA 1981 — The Standard on Open- Circuit Self - Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) - defined requirements for SCBA functionality, environmental conditioning, and communications. The 2013 Edition of NFPA 1981 would change the standard currently in force. For Springfield to obtain the exact same equipment Eugene was using (purchased in 2012), it must be shipped by February 28, 2014. After that date, any SCBAs purchased would have to meet the 2013 standard, and would be different than the current Eugene units. With the merger of the IAFF workforce July 1, 2014, the need for standardized, interoperable equipment — particularly Personal Protective Equipment and communications equipment — was critical. The exact same SCBA equipment throughout Eugene - Springfield Fire Department would be required to implement the workforce transition in July, due to the personal safety factor of operating two different systems. Sea Western, Inc. was MSA's sole authorized supplier of self - contained breathing apparatus to the Municipal Fire Service Market in Oregon and Western Washington. Per Springfield Municipal Code 2.703(2)(b) a sole source justification was completed. Existing equipment replacement funds existed to purchase this new equipment. Total replacement cost of 52 air packs was $207,374. Ms. Sorenson thanked the Council for approving the supplemental budget which allowed them to make this purchase. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 6, 2014 Page 11 Councilor VanGordon asked if there were other situations that would be coming up in the future that would require buying equipment earlier than anticipated in order to be consistent between departments. Ms. Sorenson said in terms of the dollar amount, this was actually a cost savings. The supplemental budget also authorized the purchase of portable radios, which was a similar situation to the SCBA equipment. They were pretty much on track with all other equipment. Apparatus would be a different situation. Councilor VanGordon asked if the timing on equipment would be aligned in the future. Yes Councilor Ralston said he was fine with the investment. He asked if there was a secondary market for the used equipment. Ms. Sorenson said that was a possibility. Some smaller departments could possible use them and staff would pursue that option. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO APPROVE A SOLE SOURCE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH SEAWESTERN, INC. FOR PROCUREMENT OF SCBA EQUIPMENT. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST.
