ORDINANCE NO. 5970. - AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING A PROCESS FOR CLAIMS RELATED TO
REGULATORY TAKINGS ARISING UNDER THE 2000 AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE I, SECTION 18 OF THE
OREGON CONSTITUTION (BALLOT MEASURE 7) ADDING TO CHAPTER 2 "GOVERNMENT AND
ADMINISTRATION" OF THE SPRINGFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS 2.900 et. SeQ. "REGULATORY
TAKINGS" AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
City Attorney Joe Leahy presented the staff report on this issue. Ballot Measure 7 amends the Oregon Constitution to
require state and local governments to compensate land owners if they enact or enforce the regulation that lowers the
value of an owner's property by restricting its use. This establishes a procedure to allow property owners to make
claims for compensation. It also provides a policy and procedure for releasing or waiving regulations imposing
restriction. The proposed Ordinance is brought to council as a measure necessary to cope with ballot Measure 7.
According to the measure, compensation is due if the restriction continues to apply to the property 90 days after the
landowner applies for compensation. The Measure becomes effective on December 7,2000. There is uncertainty
about the extent and depth of the financial impact to local and state governments. The uncertainty will be addressed
in the weeks ahead by Attorney General's opinions, lawsuits, the Oregon Legislature, and perhaps an additional Ballot
Measure. Right now we are left with a Measure that presents questions. The text of the Measure is set forth on Page
4 of the staff report attachment, LOC Perspective.
Mr. Leahy reviewed the attachments contained in the staff report.
Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak. Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing.
. Mr. Leahy answered questions regarding injunction criteria, public interest in this matter, and other legal issues
related to this issue.

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. Resolution Supporting the Oregon Business Development Funding for Expansion of Commercial Metal Products.
RESOLUTION NO. 00-63 - A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE SPRINGFIELD CITY COUNCIL
REQUEST THE OREGON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND THE STATE OF OREGON TO
ASSIST IN THE FINANCING OF THE COMMERCIAL METAL PRODUCTS PROJECT WITHIN THE CITY OF
SPRINGFIELD, THROUGH THE OREGON BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FUND.
John Tamulonis was the staff contact on this item. Commercial Metal Products has applied to the Oregon Economic
Development Department (OEDD) for partial financing ofthe purchase of a building at 3535 Marcola Road and
relocate its sheet metal fabricating operations from leased space at 2690 Marcola Road. State law for the Oregon
Business Development Fund requires that before OEDD can approve assisting a project, the local jurisdiction must
approve a resolution supporting the project. Commercial Metal Products and OEDD request the Springfield City
. Council approve the resolution.
Commercial Metal Products was established in Springfield by Dennis Gibson in 1985 to produce sheet metal
products. The company is operating on a month-to-month lease at 2690 Marcola Road and plans to purchase a
building located at 3545 Marcola Road with partial financing from Liberty Bank. The purchase of the building is to
save the company's existing two jobs because the existing lease will not likely be renewed next year. The existing
leased facility is adjacent to the proposed Home Depot site. Commercial Metal Products would like to obtain a more
stable facility. In addition, the new site will offer more space so they will be able to create three new manufacturing
jobs over the next three years.
Commercial Metal Products has applied for partial loan funding of the $470,000 project through the Oregon Business
Development Fund. State law requires that the local jurisdiction approve a resolution supporting the project before
funding can be approved by the OEDD and its loan committee. A Commercial Metal Products representative was
present at the city council meeting.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR BALLEW, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR FITCH, TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 00-63. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 5 FOR AND 0 AGAINST.

RESOLUTION NO. 00-64 - A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN APPLICATION FEE FOR CLAIMS
RELATED REGULATORY TAKINGS ARISING UNDER THE 2000 AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE I, SECTION
18 OF THE OREGON CONSTITUTION (BALLOT MEASURE 7).
City Attorney Joe Leahy presented the staff report on this issue. The regulatory takings in Section 2.940 provide for
an application fee in order to process a claim. The League of Oregon Cities also recommends adoption of the fee.
The recommended fee is $850.
This fee was recommended by the Development Services Division based on the analogous fee for a vacation.

RESOLUTION NO. 00-64. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 5 FOR AND 0 AGAINST.
3. Amendment III to the Agreement Regarding the Transfer of Building and Land Use Responsibilities Within the
Urbanizable Portion ofthe Springfield Oregon Urban Growth Boundary Entered into Between Lane County and the
City of Springfield.
City Attorney Joe Leahy presented the staff report on this issue. This amendment 3 is necessary to the Urban
Transition Agreement between the City of Springfield and Lane County to provide that the city will process property
owner claims for compensation in that area covered by the Urban Transition Agreement between the Springfield City
limits and the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary.
. Financial impact is undetermined at this point. This is essentially a housekeeping matter to assure that the Urban
Transition Agreement with Lane County continues to reflect the City of Springfield's responsibility for development
and land use regulation in what would otherwise be Lane County's jurisdiction, that area between the city of
Springfield city limits and the city of Springfield UGB.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR BALLEW, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR FITCH, TO APPROVE
THE AMENDMENT TO AGREEMEN BETWEEN LANE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD. THE
MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 4 FOR AND 1 (SIMMONS) AGAINST.
