2. Business from Council
a. Committee Reports
1. Councilor Woodrow reported on the Human Services Commission meeting in which the)
received a report from Food for Lane County(FFLC) Some of the things noted in this
presentation were that there are still 529 0 of children in Lane County that are eligible for
free or reduced lunches and 37% of adults are eligible for food assistance, which is close
to the national level. The difference after the recession is the type of food. They are now
giving out healthier food and information on eating healthy. Lane County is set up with
California Produce Associates in Texas and Arizona for perishable food. The Divert
Program in Portland takes all the out of date food and converts it into energy.
Pnfortunatel), people aren't taking the time to sort food that still has a few days left and
could be distributed from food that has expired and should go to Portland It is all going to
Portland
During the presentation, it was noted that$1 equals 3 meals which represents the cost of
distributing the food Last y ear, Catholic Continuous Services gave out 2 million pounds
of food to Springfield residents. The senior retired group is growing, as are their needs.
The college student population is another group in need, representing all ages and
demographics.
The message from the presentation is that hunger isn't necessarily noticeable and even
with the improN ed economics, hunger is still there. There are always opportunities to
volunteer.
Mayor Lundberg agreed that they are a Very good agency that does good work, and also
hires those with disabilities.
2. Councilor Stoehr said the Planning Commission is continuing their work on the
transportation plan and hearing a lot of public comment. He appreciated the work they are
doing.
3 Councilor Moore said she N isited Franz Bakery with the Mayor Franz contributes quite a
bit to Food for Lane County It was amazing to learn how far bread travels from the plant
in Glenwood It was great to see the expansion
She also attended the Glenwood Open House. She thanked the staff that coordinated this
event People were ven'happy to get library cards, and it was fun to connect.

4. Councilor VanGordon said there was a guest editorial on Accessory Dwelling Units
FAULTS)and Springfield's housing strategyIt is nice to get recognition for being
innovative as a City. Our strongest place IS when we are on the leading edge of city
policies in Oregon
5. Councilor Woodrow said affordable housing is directh tied to the needs that Food for
Lane County addresses.
b. Mavor Lundberg said part of what brought us to realize there is a need for housing,was
the statistic that shows our populations. She would like to know how many units of single
family and multi-famik units equate to certain population growth. Perhaps they could
look at what their target would be for population growth and how to relate that to the
number of housing units. It might give them a better idea when looking at the multiple
housing tax exemptions and other incentives
Staff w dl protide that information in a memo to the Council.

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. Wastewater Flow Monitoring and Anahsis(P4I041 )Contract to Support the Capacity,
Maintenance,Operations,and Management(CMOM)Program.
City Engineer Jeff Paschall presented the staff report on this item. As part of the CMONI Program,the
City has a requirement to complete the analvsis of flow monitoring data and development and
calibration of a wastewater system hydraulic model. Staff has determined that the most efficient and
cost effective approach to complete this project is to negotiate a contract with Novac Industries.
During the summer of 2017, an Intergovernmental Agreement(IGA)was negotiated with Eugene to
complete analysis of the wastewater collection system flow data and develop a hydraulic model 1 his
model is critical for identifying future rehabilitation needs, updating the City's Wastewater System
Master Plan, and anal zing the inflow and infiltration (FI) impacts of private laterals on the collection
sy stem
through the ICA,key Eugene staff were identified to complete the critical data analysis and build and
calibrate the hydraulic model, as this work requires a very specialized skill set. The assigned staff
recently resigned from the Oh of Eugene to relocate to the Portland area and begin work as an
independent contractor(Novac Industries)specializing in sy stem flow monitoring and by draulic
modeling. With this development, it is unlikely that Eugene w ill be able to fulfill the scope of the ICA
under the original schedule, and discussions have begun to dissolse the agreement.
In the meantime the City still has a requirement and a need to complete the analysis of flow
monitoring data and development and calibration of a wastewater system hydraulic model. It is
proposed that the City enter into an agreement with Novac Industries to complete development of a
wastewater hydraulic model. This is seen as the most efficient and cost effective way to complete the
project as Novac Industries has a unique knowledge of the City's wastewater collection ststem and
basin characteristics that are critical in developing a sound model Mr.Novac was a key contributor to
the development and completion of Eugene's wastewater hydraulic model and began work on the City
of Springfield's hydraulic model,and has been working closeb with City of Springfield Operations
staff in flow monitor selection, installation, and data collection

This C itv has negotiated the same hourlyrate as the original IGA,and the level of effort is in line with
original expectations. Sufficient wastewater capital funds are programmed to negotiate and execute a
contract not to exceed $240,000 with Novae Industries
Councilor Moore said she understood this had something to do with seepage when we have a lot of
rain She asked if this work would identify which pipes needed to be replaced.
Mr. Paschall said the model is calibrated on evegthing 10 inches or larger. After they calibrate the
model, the next phase will be a micro-basin model which will get them to the individual mains that go
out to the houses. With the model at the 10 inch pipes,they will get a good idea of where the UI is
occurring based on the Flows during both wet and dq weather, and identils the impacts of the laterals
on the VI.
Councilor Moore asked if there is a requirement for the property owner to fix their lateral if we
identifJ'the need
Mr Paschall said that w dl be a policy decision by the Council. This project w ill help staff gather data
to help proN ide some options
Mayor Lundberg said that could be a difficult issue for those propert owners and neighborhoods that
need repair. We may want to look at some possible assistance programs at some point
Councilor Moore asked about the cost with the new contract.
Mr Paschall said modeling is a unique skill set,requiring detailed software The hourly rate is less
than the last contract,and the estimate of work is in line w ith developing a model of this size
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR VANGORDON WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
WOODROW TO AUTHORIZE NEGOTIATION AND EXECUTION OF A SOLE SOURCE
CONTRACT WITH NOVAC INDUSTRIES NOT TO EXCEED $240,000. THE MOTION
PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 4 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. (2 ABSENT—PISHIONERI AND
