RESOLUTION NO.2016-03—A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD COUNCIL ADOPTING A REVISED LIST OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO BE FUNDED BY STORMWATER SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGES. Ken Vogeney, Emergency Management Manager, presented the staff report on this item. On April 19, 2010,the Council adopted Resolution No. 10-17,which adopted the City's current Stormwater SDC Project List. At that time,the City had not identified the existing and potential stormwater public outfall locations to the Willamette River to support redevelopment of Glenwood. On September 8, 2015, Council adopted Ordinance No. 6341 amending the Metro Plan and PFSP to add three potential public stormwater outfall locations in Glenwood. Staff proposes that these three potential outfall projects be added to the Stormwater SDC Project List so that they will be eligible for Stormwater Improvement SDC funding when they are constructed. In addition to the three potential stormwater outfall projects, staff has identified three existing public stormwater outfalls that would likely need to be modified to support redevelopment in Glenwood. Staff recommends adding these three outfall improvement projects to the Stormwater SDC Project List as well. Adding these six projects does increase the maximum rate that the City could collect for Stormwater Improvement SDCs. The potential Stormwater Improvement SDC rate increase from adding these six projects to the Project List is $0.00646 per square foot of impervious surface when applying the current Stormwater SDC Methodology. For a typical single family lot with 2,700 square feet of impervious area,the additional Stormwater Improvement SDC would be $17.44. Staff recommends that the Stormwater Improvement SDC rate not be adjusted at this time to reflect the addition of these outfall projects. A notice concerning the proposed additions to the Project List and advising of the public hearing was mailed to all parties listed on the City's SDC Interested Parties List on January 14, 2016. Mayor Lundberg opened the public hearing. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 16,2016 Page 3 No one appeared to speak. Mayor Lundberg closed the public hearing. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WOODROW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WYLIE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO.2016-03. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE 1. Mark Cosby, Marcola, OR. Mr. Cosby said he was interested in the article in the Register Guard regarding panhandling. He referred to the Preamble of the Constitution and said he saw now difference between those filling the boot for charities and others getting money. If you are going to commit to prohibiting one, in all fairness it should apply to everyone. The Fire Department could go into a parking lot(for the Fill the Boot campaign). He is pro-officer and pro-fire department, but has seen an imbalance between the public and private sector. COUNCIL RESPONSE CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS 1. Correspondence from Springfield Public Schools Regarding the 2016 Springfield Cesar Chavez Celebration. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WOODROW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WYLIE TO ACCEPT THE CORRESPONDENCE FOR FILING. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. BIDS ORDINANCES BUSINESS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL 1. Committee Appointments 2. Business from Council a. Committee Reports i. Councilor Moore said she attended the Blacks in Government dinner a week ago. Dr. Dexter Gordon was a great speaker and it was a very nice event. Councilor Pishioneri said he was pleased to be able to give the welcome for the dinner. ii. Councilor Wylie asked for a report on the United Front trip to Washington DC. Mayor Lundberg said the meeting with the NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)did not go well. They are proposing rules regarding steelhead and salmon City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 16,2016 Page 4 which would severely impact Springfield and other communities near a river. A proposed development would have some level of uncertainty because the Department of Fish and Wildlife(DFW)has not set the rules. They did not speak directly to them,but had the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) and Department of Land Conservation and Development(DLCD)talk to them. The regional person said their goal is to restrict development. This is a big concern and they didn't feel they had a good voice at that meeting. Our staff is working diligently on that issue as are other jurisdictions. Mayor Lundberg also reported that they have been working to get Glenwood called Springfield for the purpose of the post office and zip code. The postal service did offer an alternative to allow Glenwood residents to go by either Eugene or Springfield and to have one zip code of 97403. One issue is that if there is a street name in both Glenwood and Eugene it could be confusing. They postal service was more congenial,but made no promises. Mayor Lundberg said they met and talked about the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership(IMCP)Program with both Federal and State representatives. She said Charlie Brash was very excited about the food sector and advanced wood products and talked about buildings with cross laminated timber(CLT). At this time, Riddle has the only mill in the country that produces CLT which means our region could be the premier CLT producer in the country or the world at large. They met with Senator Wyden and representatives from Oregon State University,University of Oregon, and Springfield Public Schools(Sue Rieke-Smith)about how we could use our forests in an environmental way and produce a product that could be shipped out of state. It was a very good meeting. iii. Councilor Pishioneri reported on the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC)meeting. He said they were authorized to pay off revenue bonds early, causing a substantial debt reduction. They will also refinance at 2% for 10 years,rather than 20. Doing these things will bring down the reserves, but they will still remain healthy. The savings could result in keeping rates flat. Three new videos which targeted families and young people were developed regarding MWMC. The videos will be on all agency websites,and on air as a public service announcement(PSA). Shawn Krueger was hired as the pre-treatment supervisor. iv. Councilor Woodrow said she had the opportunity to attend the kick-off for the new building at the Child Center. They have been in existence since 1971 and are a vital resource in the community. They are expanding to help more families and children. They have a dedicated staff who are caring and concerned for everyone they work with. It is a regional resource. Councilor Wylie said she used to work with the Child Center when she was director of Willamette Family. They are a wonderful resource for parents with very challenging children and we are fortunate to have this resource available. b.
