ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Public Hearing and Adoption of One Ordinance and One Resolution Amending Fees for
2006.
Budget Officer Bob Brew presented the staff report on this item. The Resolution and Ordinance
being presented pertain to a variety of fees throughout the city that are recommended by the 2005
annual review of fees for amending. The purpose of the annual review is to ensure that the
amount charged for services at the city will continue to meet the Council adopted guidelines for
cost recovery.
The annual review has been completed. To address the City's increased cost of providing
services, changes are recommended for certain fees contained in the Building Safety Code and in
the Master Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees, Charges, Rates and Licenses.
.
Mr. Brew referred to the Council Briefing Memorandum included in the Agenda Packet and
noted some of the new fees that were included. At the direction of Council, staff prepared a
schedule of proposed changes to the Planning Application Fees (as authorized by the Springfield
City of Springfield
Council Regular Meeting Minutes

.
. Development Code) designated to recover 75 percent of plan review costs, in the aggregate. This
schedule was listed as Exhibit B of Attachment C.
ORDINANCE NO.7 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SPRINGFIELD AMENDING Article L "SPRINGFIELD BUILDING CODE
ADMINISTRATNE CODE" OF THE SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY SERVICES DNISION BUILDING SAFETY CODES"
(FIRST READING).
NO ACTION REQUESTED. FIRST READING ONLY.
RESOLUTION NO. 06-06 - A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SPRINGFIELD ADOPTING THE MASTER SCHEDULE OF
MISCELLANEOUS FEES AND CHARGES. RATES. PERMITS, AND LICENSES.
Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing.
.
I. Fred Simmons, 312 South 52nd Place, Springfield"OR. Mr. Simmons said the gentleman
from Roseburg had a list of the fees and charges that the Fire Department in Roseburg
charged. He discussed the First Response Fee and a letter from Corkey Gourley
recommending a charge for response to vehicle calls that could be billed to the insurance
carriers. Roseburg charged a response fee for vehicular fires as well. Mr. Simmons
suggested Springfield look at some of those costs that could be collected from the
insurance carriers as part of the insured's policy. He discussed the indirect fees and
Article II and the fact that we may be collecting more fees than we should. He said Mr.
Gourley's estimate was that if those charges were billed to the insurance carrier, it could
bring in about $200,000+ a year for Fire and Life Safety (F&LS).
Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing.
Councilor Woodrow said he thought the increase in FireMed fees was to be $55.00 rather than
$52.00.
Discussion was held regarding the survey results which resulted in the suggestion to raise the fee
to $52.00 a year rather than $55.00 due to concern oflosing membership with the higher rate.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WOODROW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
LUNDBERG TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.1 WITH FIREMED REMOVED.
Councilors discussed the timeline, including the advertising campaign for FireMed which was
ready to go out in print with the $52.00/month listed.
Mr. Leahy noted that the public hearing had been noticed with the FireMed cost at $52.00 and if
they wanted to raise it to $55.00, they would need to postpone this and notice a new public
hearing with all fees, including the new FireMed fee of$55.00.
.

Further discussion ensued regarding the survey results and the fee.
Deputy Fire Chief John Garitz addressed Councils' questions regarding the timing of the
advertising campaign for FireMed, the survey results and the amount of additional funding that
could be brought in with the membership at $55.00 rather than $52.00. He discussed the risk of
losing some members by increasing it to $55.00 a year.
Councilor Pishioneri suggested proceeding forward at $52.00 a year and looking at it again next
year for a possible increase to $55.00.
Councilor Fitch said she agreed to proceed and look at it again in September to see what affect
raising it to $52.00 may have caused. She said she would also like staff to look at the suggestion
about the fee to be charged to insurance carriers. With information on both of those, staff could
bring this back to Council in January and they could have a more realistic picture.
Councilor Pishioneri discussed the survey question about the raise in the annual membership and
asked that staff consider doing another survey after this year's membership asking how much
people would pay extra ($5, $10, etc.) to not lose FireMed.
Ms. Pappas said a similar survey with that question could be conducted before the next
presentation to council. They would work with a professional survey company to draft the
question appropriately.
.
Councilor Woodrow suggested the survey explain the cost of ambulance service without FireMed
or insurance, which was about $900 per call.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WOODROW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
LUNDBERG TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 06-06 WITH THE FIREMED FEES
REMOVED FORA SEPARATE VOTE. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6
FOR AND 0 AGAINST.
2. Request from Symantec Corporation to Vacate Partition Plat Lines on Private Property
Located at 555 International Way in the City of Springfield.
City Planner Jim Donovan presented the staff report on this item. The applicants initiated the
partial plat vacation in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.010 of the Springfield
Development Code. On February 7, 2006, the Springfield Planning Commission unanimously
adopted a recommendation for approval of this request based upon Staff s findings and conditions
in accordance with Section 9.030 of the Code. If the Council agrees with the Planning
Commission recommendation, the attached Ordinance can be adopted by motion and vote.
The owners are currently constructing a building addition doubling the footprint of the existing
call center. The proposed vacation of partition plat lines is requested to in order to meet setbacks
from property lines as required by site plan conditions of approval and building codes. The
vacation will result in a reduction in the number of lots on site from four (4) to two (2), but will
not reduce the square footage of the development area.

BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE
.
I. Tony Mills, 855 A Street, Springfield, OR. Mr. Mills discussed an incident that occurred last
year that had ruined two lives by the Springfield Police. The incident involved the shooting
death ofa teenage boy fleeing from Police. Mr. Mills asked about the 'three shells' rule and
asked why that was no longer a rule for law enforcement. He said there was a problem in our
society. He explained the 'three shells' rule.
Mayor Leiken said the decision regarding this case was made by the District Attorney's office.
Ms. Pappas said the matter Mr. Mills was referring to was under a Civil Suit and the City was not
allowed to speak to it during a public meeting. She said Mr. Mills and Police Chief Smith could
have a separate conversation about the three shells issue.
2. David Sonnichsen, 2435 Skyline Blvd. Eugene, OR Mr. Sonnichsen said he was the Chair of
the Citizens Planning Committee for the Whilamut Natural Areal Alton Baker Park. He said
the committee consisted of five Springfield members and ten Eugene members and they all
got along well. He said it was a privilege to speak before Council in a democratic process.
Mr. Sonnichsen said he looked at the ODOT sheets compiled with CH2M Hill regarding the
I-5/Franklin Interchange. He noted the total number of comment sheets filled out was 173.
He said the most common comment was "Preferred Category 4 - Retrofit or Rebuild of
Glenwood Interchange. He noted the other comments and the number of people who marked
those comments. He said he would send a list of the comments he referred to in an email.
.
3. David Schnelli, 2420 Otto Street, Springfield, OR. Mr. Schnelli said he was a Glenwood
business owner, and had paid attention to the I-5/Franklin Interchange discussions. He noted
an idea of his regarding this interchange. The idea would provide connections within the
Metro Area including Glenwood, I-5, UofO, Centennial and more and could be discreet. He
said the method was affordable. His suggestion was to connect Franklin Boulevard to

Centennial Boulevard and on the north side of the river, provide access to I-5. He provided a
map with his suggestion.

BIDS
ORDINANCES
I. Rewards in Connection with Damage to City Property.
Maintenance Manager Ed Black presented the staff report on this item. Current Springfield
Municipal Code provides for a $200 reward for information or assistance leading to the arrest and
conviction of anyone guilty of destroying or damaging any tree, shrub or plant in a public place.
Last October eleven street trees on 30th Street, south of Commercial were vandalized and
destroyed. The total cost of this incident was approximately $5,000. Although a notice of the
incident and the "reward for information" was released to the media, no information was
forthcoming and no one was arrested. Subsequently staff reviewed the existing Code. The
attached ordinance reflects this review. Staff proposes to: (1) increase the reward from $200 to
an amount not to exceed $1,000; (2) authorize Council, by resolution, to offer a greater reward as
it deems appropriate; and (3) expand coverage of the existing Code from public vegetation to
other City property, such as buildings, vehicles, etc.
The ordinance also contains a provision which permits the municipal court to order the defendant
to reimburse the City for the reward money paid which resulted in the apprehension of the
defendant. Thus, this ordinance should have little, if any, adverse financial impact on the City.

In conjunction with revisions to the Municipal Code planned for April 2006, the City Attorney
will provide for the repeal of Section 5.262 (Damage to Shrubs and Trees).
Councilor Pishioneri asked if the City sought restitution for damage to City property.
Mr. Leahy said this was a new ordinance. He said it only applied in criminal matters.
Councilor Pishioneri said he would support this ordinance if the City sought restitution in
criminal cases, in small claims court and whenever possible.
Mr. Leahy addressed those areas Councilor Pishioneri asked about and noted that in some cases,
the legal fees may be more than the amount recovered. He said the ordinance was written in
accordance with what the state allowed.
Councilor Ballew said she agreed that restitution should be sought, unless it cost more to recover
than the amount recovered.
Mr. Leahy said he would include that in the information he brought back when they returned for
the second reading and adoption of the ordinance.
Councilor Pishioneri said it could be turned over to a collection agency.
.
ORDINANCE NO.8 - AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND THE
COUNCIL TO OFFER REWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH DAMAGE TO CITY
PROPERTY, AND ADDING SECTIONS 5.800 THROUGH 5.808 TO THE SPRINGFIELD
MUNICIPAL CODE (FIRST READING).
NO ACTION REQUESTED. FIRST READING ONLY.
BUSINESS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL
I. Committee Appointments
2. Business from Council
a. Committee Reports
1. Councilor Woodrow said he enjoyed his trip to Washington DC, and was able to
meet with Senator Smith, Senator Wyden and Congressman DeFazio. Unfortunately,
there was bad news from the Corps of Engineers regarding funding. The Corps said
because they considered the Millrace to be under construction, it brought it up on
their agenda. The Appropriations Committee, however, said the Corps had
misinterpreted that, so Springfield's lobbyists would continue to look into that.
Councilor Woodrow felt that progress was made in facilitating relationships with
Mayor Piercy and other Eugene and Lane County elected officials. Councilor
Woodrow said he appreciated having Mike Kelly along as well.
.
2. Mayor Leiken asked for a formal motion to draft a letter for Region 2050 to go out as
soon as possible under the signature of Mayor Leiken and Councilor Lundberg.

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
I. Rosa Parks Bike Path.
.
Transportation Manager Nick Amis presented the staff report on this item. He introduced Mr.
Ken Raymen who was in the audience. At the January 17 Council session under Business from
the Audience, Mr. Ken Raymen requested the City Council consider naming the Pioneer Parkway
multi-use path after the late Rosa Parks. Staff contacted Mr. Raymen about his idea and
discussed his four points, which are contained in his attached letter, about naming the path after
Rosa Parks. In summary, Mr. Raymen's letter says that a Rosa Parks path would connect with
the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, that people walking along the path would be reminded of the
bus boycotts, the path could serve as an educational tool because it will be close to local schools,
and when the EmX is located along this corridor perhaps Land Transit District (LTD) could
decorate the buses at certain times of the year with reminders of the civil rights movement. The
City does not have a naming convention or formal process for naming bike paths. For reasons of
identification during a project, funding requests, or identifying an off road multi-use path, staff
will name and sign a path. The cost for locating simple "Rosa Parks" name signs along the
Pioneer Parkway path similar to the signs along the new 42nd Street multi~use path is nominal. A
larger information type sign (an example is in Attachment B) is estimated to cost $3,000.
Therefore, staff believes about $3,500 is needed for small signs and a larger information sign;
these funds are budgeted in the Bicycle Program under materials and supplies for similar types of
expenses.
Councilor Ballew asked about the costs involved with naming the path.
Mr. Amis said the cost could be as little as a few hundred dollars to nearly $3500 for signage. He
referred to photos included in the agenda packet that were examples of different signage and
approximate costs.
Councilor Pishioneri confirmed it was a bike path only.
Councilor Fitch said she would support this if a motion was made, but she would suggest that an
avenue be considered, either through TEAM Springfield or something else, to determine who
should be recognized when naming streets, parks and paths. She said there needed to be a way to
look at opportunities and have an organized was to go through the process. She said often things
were named after national figures, but she said it was important not to forget some of the local
heroes that had given so much to the City.
.
Councilor Lundberg agreed that a mechanism should be in place and felt TEAM Springfield was
the appropriate venue to carry that out. She said the signage should be similar to that noted in the
agenda packet for the McKenzie Levy type of sign. She referred to the Ruth Bascom trail

Council Regular Meeting Minutes

.
signage. She said it could be the smaller signage with a uniform look matching other local signs
for parks and paths.
Councilor Ballew agreed. She said it could be beneficial to put together an advisory committee to
talk about whom to honor and put together parameters. She was supportive of naming this path
the Rosa Parks Pathway, but agreed it would be good to have a plan in place for future
opportunities.
Mayor Leiken discussed going through some City committees that were not currently active. He
said he also agreed that TEAM Springfield could be a good venue.
Councilor Ballew noted concern that TEAM Springfield only met once or twice a year.
Councilor Fitch said this could occur in the TEAM Springfield monthly meetings.
Mayor Leiken asked Ms. Pappas to add it to the next TEAM Springfield agenda.
Councilor Ralston said he would not support naming this path without a process in place. He said
he would rather postpone naming it until it had gone through a public process. He said he felt this
had been sprung upon Council with no public input. He said he didn't disapprove of the name,
but of the process.
.
Councilor Woodrow said he understood, but pathways were not normally named in Springfield.
He said he thought it was a great opportunity to recognize the sacrifices and work of Rosa Parks
without changing the name of an existing street or naming a new street. He noted that naming of
new streets had no public input and were generally named by the developer. He appreciated
Councilor Ralston's comment, but felt it was the right thing to do.
Councilor Pishioneri said he would like to see a community group contribute some funds for the
signs. If there was no community group that would come forward with funding for the signs, that
could be an indication that it was not supported.
Ms. Pappas asked if Council would like her to include that request to the TEAM Springfield
partners. Yes.
Councilor Lundberg said that since it started in downtown and TEAM Springfield had earmarked
some funds for downtown as a TEAM Springfield project, some of those funds could be used.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR WOODROW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
LUNDBERG TO APPROVE NAMING THE PIONEER PARKWAY MULTI-USE PATH
AS THE ROSA PARKS MULTI-USE PATH. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE
OF 5 FOR AND 1 AGAINST (RALSTON).
