Business from Council a. Committee Reports b. Mayor Lundberg said a vacancy was coming up in Ward 6, and there is an election in November. She felt the most logical thing to do was to let the position go to the November 2014 General Election. She asked for Council's feedback. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 5 Councilor VanGordon said his preference would be to leave the position open until the November 2014 election. It is the citizens' choice and this will give them that opportunity to vote. Councilor Moore said she agreed. She asked if the application process would be advertised. Mr. Grimaldi said staff would make the announcement for the election process. Interested parties would contact the City Recorder to file paperwork. Councilor Woodrow agreed. She is sorry to see Councilor Brew go, but understands. She thanked him for his service. Councilor Brew apologized for putting the City in this position. It had been an honor sewing on the Council. Councilor Wylie said she hated to see Councilor Brew go, be had been a great councilor. Mayor Lundberg agreed. She said Councilor Brew had great perspective and a great sense of humor. She wished him the very best. Mr. Grimaldi said an announcement will go out tomorrow about how someone could run for election. This will likely get the normal news media coverage. c. Councilor Woodrow commended the Springfield K9 department for their accomplishments during the K9 competition on Saturday, June 14. The Springfield High School Silke Field stands were filled; it was a great competition and a perfect day. During the event, someone who chose to remain anonymous made a donation of $5000 that would pay for one -half of the cost for a replacement K9. BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER 1. Franklin Boulevard — McVay Highway Jurisdictional Transfer. RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -20 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD APPROVING THE JURISDICTIONAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT NO. 795 BETWEEN THE STATE OF OREGON, ACTING BY AND THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD FOR THE TRANSFER OF OR 126 BUSINESS TO CENTRAL OREGON AND PACIFIC RAILROAD SECTION, McVAY HIGHWAY, STATE HIGHWAY NO. 225 LANE COUNTY TO THE CITY OF SPRINGFMLD AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE JURISDICTIONAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT. RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -21 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD ADOPTING JURISDICTIONAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT NO. 792 OREGON 126 BUSINESS: EUGENE ECL — McVAY HIGHWAY NO. 225 SECTION McKENZ1E HIGHWAY, STATE HIGHWAY NO. 15 LANE COUNTY TO THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE JURISDICTIONAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 6 Supervising Engineer Jeff Paschall presented the staff report on this item on behalf of Tom Boyatt and Len Goodwin. The City of Springfield and the Oregon Department of Transportation have negotiated the transfer of jurisdiction for portions of Franklin Blvd. and McVay Highway in Glenwood from ODOT to the City. The portion of Franklin Bld. to be transferred extends from the 1 -5 right of way at the west end to the intersection with McVay Hwy. to the east. The portion of McVay Hwy. to be transferred is from the intersection with Franklin Bld. on the north to the bridge over the railroad tracks to the south. Each of the two transfer IGAs, attached, contains a map of the area of transfer. Staff and the City Attorney have concluded negotiations with ODOT to transfer the two roadway segments identified above. ODOT will transfer to the City the rights of way for these facilities, several fee properties along the western edge of McVay Hwy. originally acquired by the state for future transportation purposes, the roadways themselves, and the ownership responsibilities to operate and maintain these segments for transportation purposes. The City will accept these assets and responsibilities in exchange for a one -time payment of $3.2 million, $1.7m for Franklin and $1.5m for McVay. This is all in keeping with the information presented to Council in work session on February 24 °i of this year. Once the City has signed the two transfer IGAs, ODOT will request approval by the Oregon Transportation Commission. After OTC approval, ODOT will finalize the transfer IGAs, remit payment to the City, and the actual transfer of facilities will be deed recorded. This process is expected to take approximately 60 days. Mr. Paschall said this started in 2008. Action taken tonight would get the ball rolling for a jurisdictional transfer to the City. Mayor Lundberg said as they started to annex pieces of the Glenwood area, there is still a Eugene zip code and address. She knew there was a big process to go through, but she would like to move forward with the necessary conversations towards getting a Springfield zip code and addresses as parts of Glenwood came into Springfield. She wanted to make this public so people understood this is the goal. Mr. Paschall said that was one of the items being discussed by the Glenwood team. Councilor Ralston asked if the money from this transfer was earmarked. Mr. Paschall said the plan was to bring the money in, put it in reserve, and assess maintenance activities. The money is not earmarked, but is a monetary payment for future maintenance. There is a potential of setting the money aside to leverage State and Federal dollars for the future Phase II of the project.

City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 7 2. City Prosecutor Contract Renewal. Assistant City Manager Jeff Towery presented the staff report on this item Last year, during the request for qualification process, the firm proposed a number of possible changes to the service intended to result in a variety of improvements and efficiencies. The City Prosecutor has outlined those efforts and the impacts. In January of 2013 the City entered into an agreement with the firm of Leahy, Van Vactor, Cox and Melendy. The contract expires June 30, 2014 and the City is renewing their agreement for an additional year. There is no change in the amount the City pays annually for City Prosecutor services. Staff requests Council to authorize City Manager to sign each contract. Mr. Towery read an email from Officer Michael Massey from the Springfield Police Department. As a detective assigned to property crimes and most misdemeanor crimes, he dealt often with Matt Cox on most cases. Officer Massey said it had been a pleasure working with Mr. Cox who always made time to be available and kept the officer in the loop about his cases. Officer Massey wrote in his email that Mr. Cox had been attending the Annual DIJ11 Conferences that many prosecutors statewide attend, to keep officers, judges and prosecutors up with changing DUII case laws. Officers had commented how much they like that Mr. Cox seeks training to assist the prosecution end of things. Officer Massey understood it was a hard change for many, but had been positive for him in this assignment. Mr. Cox referred to the memo that was included in the agenda packet explaining what the Prosecutor's office had been doing in the last year and a half. One of the things they hadn't been able to complete yet is the implementation of the new software system which was moving along slower than originally planned. Both Eugene and Springfield had implemented the Sunguard systems, first with Police and second with the Prosecutors offices. They were saving dollars by combining their training on this system. Because they don't have the computer system up and running, it is hard to give stats on number of cases per week and number of trials. An estimate had been included in his memo. Councilor VanGordon said he appreciated the memo outlining what was done last year. He felt it was an impressive list of accomplishments and improvements. The thing that stood out to him was the drop in open cases. That was very much appreciated. Mr. Cox said they worked hard to get those opened cases completed. One change the City is making is to hire one group of public defenders to handle the cases. In the past contract, if someone failed to appear, their defense attorney was bumped off the case by order of the court. When they were picked up on warrant or turned in, a new attorney was assigned which was very inefficient. It also was a disincentive for defense attorneys to get cases resolved. The new system will start next month which will be more of a flat fee system per case, and will keep the same attorney, or one from the same firm, for the defendant. That was an example that the City had made that should make things better. Mayor Lundberg said the numbers speak for themselves and she is very happy with the Prosecutor's office. She asked Mr. Cox to explain more about the Mental Health and Veteran's Courts. Mr. Cox said the Mental Health Court is a system for people with mental health issues that may not be best served by the traditional route through the misdemeanor system. They can instead go into a 'community court', which is a deferred prosecution -type system. On offenses such as disorderly City of Springfield Council Reeular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 8 conduct or criminal trespass, not more serious crimes, they would need to plead guilty or no contest to get into the program. While in the program, they are to do treatment, stay out of trouble, and pay some fines. The program can go six months, one year or eighteen months, depending on the case manager's assessment. If they complete everything by the end of the program, the case can be dismissed. It gave them an incentive to work to get it done. Eugene has a Mental Health Court that has been very successful. It does have a treatment and supervision component which is an expense. The Veteran's Court is similar, but is set up for veterans. He did point out that there is a weakness in the system across the nation particular to Misdemeanor Court. They had little to no resources to deal with those that commit crimes that are dealing with mental health issues. Unfortunately, they often have to dismiss cases when offenders are unfit to proceed, which means those people are back out on the street. Years ago, they could use the State system to send misdemeanor offenders to the State hospital, but that is no longer the case. They only take felony offenders. That is a hole in the system creating repeat offenders that use up a lot of resources. One way to address this is to use an idea from Jackson County. The Police; Prosecutor, Defense Attorney, Judge and mental health workers target ten individuals and put resources towards those people. Chief Doney has examples of people that were repeat offenders, but as part of this group with a daily check -in with a City probation officer, were able to turn things around in a relatively short time frame. He will talk more with Chief Doney to get additional information and perhaps invite people from Jackson County to talk with the Springfield Police and Prosecutor's Office. That might be a way to move forward without asking Council for treatment dollars. Mayor Lundberg suggested having a work session once they get more information on this program. She is interested because mental health issues are huge and this is very important. Mr. Grimaldi said they could schedule a work session sometime near the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Chief Doney said he had contacted Jackson County and they are willing to come up and speak to Springfield staff. Mr. Cox said they would bring the information from that meeting, and perhaps be able to lay out a plan for the Council to consider. Councilor Woodrow thanked them for this information. When she sees all the parts of the community, there are isolated areas that need help. To see a system that offers resources even for one person at a time, it starts to address the problem and gives people a positive way out with support. She is looking forward to the work session. Councilor Brew said it had been pleasure working with Mr. Cox. He appreciated the way Mr. Cox laid their outcomes and plans out systemically in his memo. They had figured out new ways to approach things to make them work better. In doing so, they were looking after the citizens of Springfield and hey City resources. Councilor Moore said it was a difficult decision last year. She appreciated the innovative and creative ideas Mr. Cox was bringing forward and appreciated him being on the team. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 9 IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THE FIRM OF LEAHY, VAN VACTOR, COX & MELENDY LLC FOR CITY PROSECUTOR SERVICES FOR THE TIME PERIOD JULY 1, 2014 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2015. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 3. Request for Permit to Work Outside Hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., South Franklin Blvd. McVay Hwy. (P21080). Civil Engineer Mark Van Eeckhout presented the staff report on this item. Section 5.220(c) of the Springfield Municipal Code specifies that construction activities are to occur between 7 am and 6 pm. In order to complete the Franklin /McVay Sanitary Sewer Extension project in a timely manner, and reduce the project's impact on traffic, it is necessary to close roads to through traffic to complete installation of deep utilities. In order to minimize the impact of road closures to businesses and residents in the area, staff is requesting the ability to allow the contractor to work an extended work shift outside of the allowed City's noise restricted work hours by allowing contractor to work between 6am and 1 Opm. As part of the Franklin/McVay Sanitary Sewer project, South Franklin Boulevard/McVay Highway will be closed to through traffic during construction of the new sewer line. The roadway will be maintained during construction sufficient to allow for local and business access, but the roadway would be closed to through traffic. The need for the closure stems from the City's experience working at these depths in similar soils. The width of the trench in similar projects has required the need for the contractor to have the roadway closed to through traffic. Language is included in the contract's General Conditions section requiring the contractor to maintain access to businesses and residents during construction as required in Section 107.13 of the Springfield's Standard Construction Specifications. The ability to work an extended shift will provide some flexibility to the contractor in meeting this requirement. The extended work shifts would also have the added benefit of reducing the overall time that the traveling public would be inconvenienced by the road closure to through traffic. Mr. Van Eeckhout described the project area and the closures needed to do this work. Staff had met with the businesses along this roadway and felt that allowing the extended work Hours could provide more flexibility to work through the issues more easily. The contractor would be required to make a request of staff when they wanted to work the extended hours and provide justification. Mayor Lundberg said sometimes workers first arrive prior to the allowable work hours and slam doors and yell at each other. She asked staff to encourage the contractors to remind their workers to be quiet prior to the actual start time. Mr. Van Eechhout said he would make it a point to remind the contractors City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 10 IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THE HOURS OF 7 AM AND 6 PM WITH CONDITIONS AS DESCRIBED IN ATTACHMENT 1 FRANKLIN/MCVAY (P21080) FOR WORK ON THIS JOINT SPRINGFIELD /SUB PROJECT. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 4. Glenwood Refinement Plan Amendment, Franklin Blvd. Planning Manager Greg Mott presented the staff report on this item on behalf of Tom Boyatt. Several iterations of the design for Franklin Boulevard improvements have been reviewed and refined through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to minimize Project impacts. These design changes have resulted in a project footprint and project envelope that differ from those contained in the Glenwood Refinement Plan. At the time Council reviewed and adopted the 2012 Glenwood Refinement Plan amendments to implement the Glenwood Riverfront District, the Franklin Boulevard project concept had not been refined through the NEPA process. Since that time, staff and the consultant team have been through several design iterations to avoid impacts as practical, while maintaining the integrity and purpose of the planned improvements. At the February 24, 2014 work session, Council reviewed the final proposed Franklin Boulevard design and directed staff to develop and deliver a Franklin Boulevard improvement project based on that refined design. As a normal and necessary part of developing and delivering the Franklin Boulevard Project, staff recommends amending the Glenwood Refinement Plan to reflect more accurately the Project that the City plans to deliver. These amendments will provide transparency to citizens, businesses and agency partners regarding planned improvements, while assisting all parties in the coordinated development of the Glenwood Riverfront District. Mayor Lundberg asked if the new map has been provided to the public. City Attorney Mary Bridget Smith said it was being presented when talking with citizens. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WYLIE WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO INITIATE AMENDMENTS TO THE TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER OF THE GLENWOOD REFINEMENT PLAN (PLAN), AS AMENDED, TO ADJUST THE PROJECT CONCEPT CURRENTLY IN THE PLAN TO REFLECT THE PROPOSED FRANKLIN BLVD. PROJECT (PROJECT) DRAFT DESIGN; TO ALIGN THE PROPOSED DRAFT DESIGN SUCH THAT ITS ALIGNMENT GENERALLY CENTERS ALONG THE EXISTING FRANKLIN BLVD. CENTERLINE TO AVOID ANY DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS TO FRONTING PROPERTIES; TO AMEND THE PROJECT ENVELOPE TO EXTEND FIVE FEET TO THE NORTH AND FIVE FEET TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPOSED DRAFT DESIGN; TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES ON FIGURES 1 AND 3, PAGES 57 AND 58; AND, TO MAKE THE SAME CHANGES TO THE TEXT DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE PROJECT AND PROJECT ENVELOPE ON PAGES 56, 60, 61 AND 62. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2014 Page 11 BUSINESS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY Ms. Smith said several weeks ago, Council heard testimony on the chronic disorderly abatement property and the ordinance. Draft changes to the ordinance had been made and will be coming to the Council for their review in a few weeks. There are also some housekeeping measures on the business license tax regarding telecom companies which will be coming back to Council. The City Attorney's office will file the amicus brief on the sand and gravel issue on Friday. Ms. Smith introduced a legal extem that had joined the City Attorney's Office, Kristina Kranz, a law student at the University of Oregon. She will be full -time for the summer. Councilor Brew noted that Ms. Kraaz was his daughter. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned 7:50 p.m. Minutes Recorder Amy Sowa Christine L. Lundberg Mayor Attest: ' Vii= � i .114
