THE METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER
MANAGEMENT COMMISSION,
Intervenor-Respondent.
Respondent City of Springfieldfiles this reply to Petitioners' Response to
Respondent and Intervenor-Respondent's Motion to Dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
Intervenor-Respondent, The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission
("MWMC" or "the Commission") joins in this Reply. This Board lacks jurisdiction
because, pursuant to ORS 223.314,. neither the plan nor the list is a land use
decision or limited land use decision subject to lUBA's review.
The MWMC 2004 Facilities Plan and 20-year project list ("the Plan" and "the
List"), which is the subject of this appeal, is a plan required by ORS 223.309(1) that
includes a list of the capital improvements that the MWMC intends to fund, in whole
.,
or in part, with revenues from an improvement fee.

.
In addition, MWMC is required by Section 3(n) of the Intergovernmental
Agreement ("IGA," attached hereto in its entirety as Exhibit 1)1 that established the
Commission as a separate commission for the purpose of providing sewerage to the
urban service area, to make recommendations to Lane County, Eugene and
Springfield for expansion and improvement of the regional sewerage facilities for their
review. The Plan and List contains such recommendations. However, Eugene and
Springfield must adopt the Plan and List prior to the establishment of a system
development charge pursuant to ORS 223.309(1).2
Contrary to the argument made by Petitioners in their Response, the MWMC
Plan and List at issue in this proceeding are' not intended to be amend Eugene,
Springfield, and Lane County's Goal 11 Public Facilities and Services Plan.
Aml:lndments thereto are under consideration by Eugene, Springfield and Lane
County in a separate process as explained more fylly below.
I. The List.
LUBA does not have jurisdiction to review the List. Petitioners concede that
this Board does not have jurisdiction to review that part of the'decision that
Petitioners have characterized as "Part (2)" of the decision, that is, the adoption of
the 20-year project list. (Pet. Response, p3, paras. 2-3: "Part(2) is likely exempt from
LUBA review under the exception stated in ORS 223.314. * * * LUBA should deny the
motion to dismiss because it has jurisdiction to review part of the decision - indeed
1 Petitioners attached the IGA as Exhibit B to their Response, but their Exhibit does not include key
provisions of the IGA because pages 2 and 3 were omitted. '
'The fact that Lane County does not have a system development charge for wastewater eliminates the
necessity for Lane County to adopt the Plan and List.

.
most of the decision;" p7, heading IV: "Adoption of the MWMC 2004 Facilities Plan,
as distinct from the adoption of the 20-year project list, was a land use decision
subject to LUBA's review.") Accordingly, this Board should find that it does not have
jurisdiction to review the List.
II. The Plan.
A. The Plan is a "plan" within the meaning of ORS 223.297 to 223.314.
Petitioners' Response is filled with references to Goal 11 administrative rules
and Chapter 197 land use statutes. Conspicuously missing is any meaningful
interpretation of the statutory scheme that governs the imposition and expenditure of
system development charges, ORS 223.297 to 223.314 ("SDC statutory scheme").
In interpreting a statute, code or regulation, the task of the interpreter is to
ascertain the intent of the body that promulgated it. The task must begin with the text
and context of the statutory provision; this includes other provisions of the same
statute and other related statutes. Use of the same term throughout a statute
indicates that the term has the same meaning throughout the statute. Words of
common usage typically should be given their plain, natural, and ordinary meaning.
(PGE v. BOLl, 317 Or 606,610-12 (1993), citations omitted).
Petitione'rs correctly identify ORS 223.309(1)3 as establishing a requirement
that prior to the establishment of a system development charge a local government
. must prepare a plan that includes a list of capital improvements intended to be
funded by system development charges. However, Petitioners argument makes two
alternative inferences, both of which are incorrect: 1) that the plan and list required by
Reply to Petitioners' Response to Motion to Dismiss
- Page 3 -
Date Received
JUL 1 6, 0<./
Planner: BJ.
.
223.309 are alternative documents. This analysis is clearly wrong, and leads to the
erroneous assumption that if you have a list, no plan is mandated or authorized by
the SDC statutes; 2) that the plan referred to in 223.309(1) could only mean the
Public Facilities ana Services Plan required by local governments under the land use
statutes and Statewide Planning Goal 11. This analysis is also clearly wrong,
because 223.314 states unequivocally that the "plan * * * adopted pursuant to ORS
223.309 * * * is not a land use decision." Accordingly, as explained more fully below,
the SDC statutory scheme must be understood to refer to a plan that is not governed
by ORS Chapter 197 or Statewide Planning Goal 11.
The terms "plan" and "list" are used at least eleven (11) times in the SDC
. ,
,
statutory scheme. The SDC "plan" is a document that must include the capital
improvement list, but is not itself the list. Throughout the SDC statutory scheme,
they are identified as "the plan and list adopted pursuant to ORS 223.309." (see ORS
223.304(4); (5)(b)(B); (5)(c); 223.307(4)). Elsewhere, the list is referred to
separately: (see ORS 223.304(5)(l?)(B);(8)(a); 223.309(2); (2)(d); 223.314).
Applying the rule that use of the same term throughout a statute indicates that
the term has the same meaning throughout the statute, the SDC statute states that
"plan"includes "a capital improvement plan," or a."public facilities plan," or a "master
plan," or a "comparable plan" that
"includes a list of the capital improvement tharthe local government
intends to fund, in whole or in part, with revenues from an improvement
fee and estimated cost, timing and percentage of costs eligible tei be
funded with revenues from the improvement fee for each improvement."
(ORS 223.309(1)).
3 The full text of ORS 223.297 to 223.314 is set forth in Exhibit 2.

Therefore, where the SDC statutory scheme authorizes a credit against an
improvement fee for the construction of a qualified public improvement, it defines
"qualified public improvement," in part, in terms of the plan and list adopted pursuant
to 223.309 (ORS 223.309(4)). A local government may deny the credit by reference
to "the list" and evidence that the proposed improvement was not included in "the
plan and list." (ORS 223.304(5)(b)(B)); or the local government may grant a credit for
capital improvements not identified in "the plan and list." (ORS 223.304(5)(c)).
Further, any change in the amount of a system development charge,
improvement fee or reimbursement fee must be based on, inter alia, a change in the
cost of materials, labor or real property for projects that are set forth on "the list."
(ORS 223.304(8)(a)).
More significantly, "Any capital improvement being funded wholly or in part
with system development charge revenues must be included in the plan and list."
(ORS 223.307(4); emphasis added).
In sum, credits for SDCs, modifications to SDCs, and expenditures with SDC
revenues are all tied to both the plan and the list, neither of which are land use
decisions under the SDC statutory scheme. (See ORS 223.314).
B. MWMC's 2004 Facilities Plan is a master plan that updates
MWMC's 1977 master plan-the 208 Plan.
In 1977, Eugene, Lane County and Springfield entered into an IGA that
established the .Commission as the entity responsible for providing sewerage
treatment to the urban service area. (Exhibit 1, IGA, p2, para 11). This agreement
recognizes two distinct plans: 1) the area's land use comprehensive plan known in
Reply to Petitioners' Response to Motion to Dismiss
- Page 5 -
Date Received
JUL 161~1
Planner: BJ
1977 as the "1990 General Plan" (now replaced by the "Metro Plan'), which was
relied upon solely for its designation of the urban service area (Exhibit 1, IGA, p1,
para 1); and 2) a master planning document to "serve as the basis for developing a
unified sewerage system with the projected urban service area." (Exhibit 1, IGA, p1,
para 6)
At the time of entering into the IGA, the participating local governments
determined that the master planning document for wastewater would be the Eugene-
Springfield Metropolitan Area Waste Treatment Management Alternatives Plan,
't'hich had been prepared pursuantto the Environmental Protection Act Section 208
provisions, (the "208 Plan"): (Exhibit 1, IGA, p1, para 6).
The 2004 Facilities Plan that is th,e subject of this appeal "is a comprehensive
update to the original "208 Plan." (2004 Facilities Plan, Executive Summary, p ES-1).
Under the IGA, MWMC's responsibilities include the obligation to "plan and
make recommendations to the Governing Bodies for expansion and improvement of
regional sewerage facilities." (Exhibit 1, IGA, p3, para 3(n)). The IGA specifically
does not give the Commission any "powers or duties related to local annexation or
growth policies." (Exhibit 1, IGA, p3, para 3(0)). The participating governments
reserved unto themselves the function to "establish local annexation and growth
policies." (Exhibit 1, IGA, p4, para 7(d)).
Section 3 of the IGA sets forth MWMC's specific functions. They include the
recommendation of a schedule of connection fees for regional sewer services that
are to be established pursuant to Appendix B. (Exhibit 1, IGA, p3, para 3(f). Upon
, .
the Commission's recommendation, Eugene, Springfield and Lane County, as
Reply to Petitioners' Response to Motion to Dismiss
- Page 6 -
applicable, are required to impose and collect the connection fees. (Exhibit 1, 'IGA,
p6, para 15). Eugene and Springfield impose connection fees on behalf of MWMC.
The connection fees are system development charges. Prior to adoption of a system
developmentcharge, a local government must adopt therequiredplan and list.
Springfield adopted the Plan and List at issue here to comply with the requirements
of ORS 223.309(1). Imposition of system development charges in this manner
follows from the dictates of the IGA provisions set forth above.
C. Petitioners' challenge regarding comprehensive planning is
premature.
Petitioners insist that a local government may not adopt the plan required by
ORS 223.309 before it adopts a public facilities plan as part of its comprehensive
plan. (Petitioner's Resp, p7 lines 31-32: "Section 309(1) anticipates that the public
facility plan be in place before the local government prepares its "309 list' . . .")
Petitioners are confused. The statute plainly states that "the list" must be included in
"the plan." (See ORS 223.309(1)). In addition, Petitioners' interpretation violates
basic tenets of statutory construction. ORS 174.010 states:
."In the construction of a statute, the office of the judge is simply to
ascertain and declare what is, in terms or in substance; contained
therein, nof fo insert what has been omitted, or to omit what has been
inserted; and where there are several provisions or particulars such
construction is, if possible, to be adopted as will give effect to all."
Nothing in the language of the SDC statutory scheme supports Petitioners'
interpret~tion that a "309 plan" must be a Goal 11 Public Facilities and Services Plan.
Petitioners' interpretation would read out of the statute the words that offer alternative
characterizations of the "309 plan:" "a capital improvement plan," or a "public

" Page 7 -

JUL I 6 ( o~
Planner: BJ
facilities plan," or a "master plari," or a "comparable plan." (ORS 223.309(1)). In
addition, Petitioner's interpretation would render meaningless the language of
223.314 that states that "The establishment, modification or implementation of a
system development charge or a plan or list adopted pursuant to ORS 223.309, or
any modification of a plan or list, is not a land use decision pursuant to ORS chapters
195 and 197."
Moreover, other than the requirement that the capital improvements list and
"309 plan" must be prepared prior to the establishment of any system development
charge, there is no description of any particular sequence of events in the SDC
statutory scheme.
Petitioners will have the opportunity to challenge the sewerage portion of
Eugene, Springfield and Lane County's Goal11 Public Facilities and Services Plan
and comprehensive plan amendments in the near future because those Metro Plan
amendments have been recommended for adoption by the Planning Commission of
each participating local'government and forwarded to the elected officials for
adoption.4
D. Petitioners' soJe remedy is through the writ of review process.
Any reliance by this Board on legislative history is unnecessary. Petitioners'
response, and the exhibits attached thereto, recite pages of legislative history (Pet.
Resp., p8-9; E)(hibit C). Historically, a court would consider legislative history only if
the intent of the legislature was not clear from a review of the text and context of the
4 Notice of the proposed amendments was received by OLCO on March 4, 2004. The Springfield City
Council will consider Metro Plan and PFSP amendments on July 19, 2004; Eugene on July 26, 2004
and Lane County Board of Commissioners on August 2, 2004.

statute. (See PGE vs. BOLl, supra, 317 Or at 610"12; citations omitted). After the
amendment to ORS 174.020 in 2001, a court may review legislative history at any
stage of the inquiry. However, the statute still provides that the court will give such
weight to the legislative history that the court considers to be appropriate. (ORS
174.020(3) ).
Even if this Board determines that it is necessary to review legislative history;
the history provided by Petitioners does not support their interpretation. First, the
legislative history referred to by Petitioners for ORS 223.309 was created on May 26,
1989. Since that testimony was giv~n, ORS 223.309 has been amended three times
in 1991, 2001 and 2003. Second, the legislative history relied on by Petitioners was
provided by the lobbyist for the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland.
Several Oregon court opinions recognize that not all legislative history is entitled to
equal weight; that statement~ made before legislative committees by witnesses who
are not legislators, may have little or no significance; and, that statements related to
earlier versions of a bill rather than to its final form are less informative. Henthorn v.
Grand Prairie School Dist. No. 14, Linn County, 287 Or. 683, 691, (1979), Linn-
Benton-Lincoln Educ. Association/OEA/NEA v. Linn-Benton-Lincoln Esd, 163 Or.
App. 558, 569-70 (1999), and Topolic v. Rolie, 131 Or. App. 72, 76 (1994). Finally,
the contextof Mr. Hales' response to Senator Springer's question is the affirmative
statement by Ms. Smith that the writ of review is the only way to initiate a legal
challenge to the SDC statutory scheme. (Pet. Resp., Exh C, p 5). Mr. Hale's
statement affirms that no action taken under the SDC statutory scheme is intended to
be reviewed in any manner other than by the circuit court in a writ of review

proceeding. (Pet Resp., Exh C, p 5).
As enacted by the" legislature, the sole review of the plan or the list (or the
methodology) adopted under the SDC statutory scheme is through the writ of review
process. (See ORS 223.302(2);223.304(7)(b); 223.309(2)(d)).
E. Petitioners' reliance on ORS 197.015(10) is misplaced.
The gravamen of Petitioners' response is simply that the subject decision is a
land use decisiol) within the meaning of ORS 197.015(10) (attached as Exh. 3). (Pet
Resp., pp9-13). There is no legal basis for this conclusion. Nothing in that definition
refers to system development charges or capital improvement lists. ORS
197.015(10) is located in the general definitional section of ORS Chapter 197, which
governs land use planning throughout the state. It sets forth general definitions that
govern the decisions and actions that local and state governments must take to
comply with statewide planning goals. "When a general and particular provision are
inconsistent, the latter is paramount to the former so that a particular intent controls a
general intent that is inconsistent with the particular intent." (ORS 174.020(2)). Here,
the land use provisions and SDC statutory scheme do not conflict.
However, even if Petitioners' response raises a question about whether or not
these statutes conflict, the specific SDC statqtory scheme controls over the general
definitional section of the land use statues. . The challenged decision is not a land use
decision.
Conclusion
This Board should dismiss Petitioners' appeal because the Board lacks
jurisdiction over the list that is included in the master wastewater facility plan that is

RESTATED'AND AMENDED AGREl:.MENT
METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
THIS AGREEMENT was entered into the 9th day of February, 1977, by the City of
SPRINGFIELD and the City ,of EUGENE, municipal corporations of the State of
Oregon, and LANE COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Oregon, herein
referred to as Governing Bodies, The Agreement was previously amended January 4,
1978, February 16,1982 and July 19, 1991 which amendments have been -
incorporated herein.
RECITALS:
1. The Governing Bqdies have adopted the plan of land use development known as
the 1990 General Plan and have designated in the plan a projected urban service
area which includes the two cities and certain unincorporated areas surrounding the
cities and which lies entirely within the county.
,
2. The projected urban service area, as now or hereafter designated, is a
metropolitan area because of its urban character and the close interrelationship
between the two cities and all parts of the area.
. 3. The urban character of the area makes high quality sewage treatment necessary.
, .
4. Federal funding policy requires sewage treatm~nt and disposal in the projected
urban service ~rea to be provided on a unified, metropolitan basis.
5. In order to plan for sewerage on a unified basis in the projected urQan service
area, the cities and ,the county entered irito an agreement January 8,1974, '
establishing the Metropolitan Sewer Advisory Commission.
'6. The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Waste Treatment Management'
Alternatives plan, which has been prepared for the Lane Council of Governments
under Environmental Protection Act Section 208 provisions, shall serve as a basis for
developing a unified sewerage system within the projected urban service area.'
7. The cities have the authority under their charters to provide for all aspects of
sewerage, are providing it presently for parties within their respective boundaries, and,
are concerned that it be provided adequately in their environs so as to prevent health
hazards.
8. The county, while not presently providing sewerage, has the authority under its
charter to do so, has extensive duties under state laws regarding public sanitation,
and is concerned about hazards to public health that arise from inadequate sewerage
in the area.

EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD METROPOLITAN
SEWERAGE FINANCING CRITERIA
The Commission shall finance its functions as follows:
A; The non-federal share of capital costs associated with the implementation of
the sewerage master plan set forth in Appendix A shall be financed by_ a capital
construction bond authorization.
The capital construction bond shall be authorized by a district-wide bond election
through the use of a county service district. Bonds sold shall be repaid by- a uniform
district-wide tax. The Governing Bodies agree specifically that the county service
district shall be authorized and established to provide regional sewerage facilities by
contracting with the Commission to construct, maintain and operate such facilities as
set forth in the Agreement.
Bond sale proceeds mayalso be advanced to the Commission to provide interim
financing of the federal share of such capital costs when an Environmental Protection
Agency grant has been awarded to the Commission to cover-such costs; the work
associated with such costs has been completed and payment to the contractor
therefor has _been approved by the Commission; a request for reimbursement of the
federal share of such costs has been submitted to the Environmental Protection
-----~---Agency -and timely payment- to- theCommissiof.1's cOf.1struction contractor would-be -
prevented due to a temporary delay in the availability of federal funds.
B. Administrative, operational and maintenances expenses -related to regional
sewerage facilities. shall be financed through a uniform district-wide monthly fee to be
levied or.! all users.
C. Outstanding bonded indebtedness for existing facilities of the Cities of Eugene
and Springfield described in Appendix A shall continue to be amortized by the
respective cities. The Commission shall provide funds to one or both cities for retiring
bonds in order to establish equality between all users of the regional sewerage
facilities. At such time asthe outstanding bonded indebtedness of the cities for
existing facilities is satisfied, and equality is established, the ownership of such
facilities shall revert to the Commission.
D. Connection fees, considering different types of usage shall be levied on all
new service connections following the date specified in the detailed financial plan
developed by the Commission. The fee will be calculated annually and will be based
upon obtaining equality between the newly connected users and the previously
connected users for their total contributions toward the regional treatment facilities.
