ATTACHMENTS: 1. Intergovernmental Agreement with Springfield Public School District
2. April 20, 2015 Council Packet Item, 19th & Yolanda Preservation, Sidewalk and ADA Ramp
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The attached agreement is the second and final agreement as part of the 19th Street
and Yolanda Avenue preservation project being facilitated by Lane County later this summer. The IGA describes construction of a sidewalk along the Yolanda
Elementary School frontage between 23rd Street and 27th Street, including
construction of two sidewalk access ramps. As detailed in the IGA, the estimated cost to the City for construction of these facilities is $48,000. However, since
construction of sidewalk facilities is typically the responsibility of the adjacent
property owner, the Springfield School District has agreed to pay the City for construction of the sidewalk. The current estimate for the School District’s portion
is estimated at $27,000, leaving the project cost impact to the City estimated at $21,000. Costs are based upon the County’s construction estimate, but actual payment to the County will be based upon actual project construction costs billed
one-time at completion. The City Council approved the IGA between the City and Lane County at the April 20, 2015 meeting.
Updating and/or adding sidewalk access ramps near public facilities is a priority as identified in the City’s Americans with Disabilities Act transition plan. In addition,
participation by SPS to construct a sidewalk addresses a need identified in a survey
conducted through the Safe Routes to Schools Program. Therefore, staff recommends Council approval of the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement.

Facilities ITEM TITLE: PAVEMENT AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS AND JURISDICTIONAL
SURRENDER OF PORTIONS OF 19TH STREET AND YOLANDA AVENUE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH LANE COUUNTY
ACTION
REQUESTED:
Approve or reject a motion to authorize and direct the City Manager to execute the
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (IGA) Pavement and Sidewalk Improvements and Jurisdictional Surrender of Portions of 19th Street and Yolanda
Avenue to the City of Springfield with Lane County on behalf of the City.
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Shall the City enter into the attached Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with
Lane County to execute a transfer of jurisdiction of portions of 19th Street and
Yolanda Avenue to the City of Springfield?
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Intergovernmental Agreement with Lane County
DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Lane County has scheduled for 2015 a pavement preservation project on portions of
19th Street and Yolanda Avenue for which they have jurisdictional control. The
County reached out to the City regarding possible participation for the segments of both streets within the City’s jurisdictional control. Since the City does not have budget within the Street Fund for FY 2015 to participate, City and County staff
have developed an agreement for the County to perform pavement preservation activities on City controlled segments of both streets at the County’s expense. In
exchange for the preservation of City streets, the City agrees to take jurisdiction of
the County controlled segments of 19th Street and Yolanda Avenue that meet current urban standards.
The IGA also describes construction of sidewalk along the Yolanda Elementary School frontage between 23rd Street and 27th Street, including construction of two
sidewalk access ramps. As detailed in the IGA, the estimated cost to the City for construction of these facilities is $48,000. However, since construction of sidewalk facilities is typically the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, the
Springfield School District has agreed to pay the City for construction of the sidewalk. The current estimate for the School District’s portion is estimated at $27,000, leaving the project cost impact to the City estimated at $21,000. Costs are
based upon the County’s construction estimate, but actual payment to the County will be based upon actual project construction costs billed one-time at completion.
An IGA with the School District to recognize this agreement is being drafted and
will be brought to the Council for approval prior to the start of construction.
Although adding these streets to the City’s street inventory will increase our
maintenance needs, these streets already meet current urban standard requirements and will have new surfacing before the City takes jurisdiction, and staff believes
that reducing the number of jurisdictions involved will simplify on-going
transportation planning and redevelopment options in North Springfield. Therefore, staff recommends Council approval of the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement.
