PURSUANT TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE OF 1998,
Management Analyst Len Goodwin presented the staff report and said this is the
city's first attempt to adopt an ordinance amending the City Code regarding the
regulation of telecommunication activity, Mr. Goodwin said the City Council reviewed
the item in an October 1997 work session and that much work had been done on the
ordinance since that time,
Mr. Goodwin explained federal legislation adoption requires modifications to city
ordinances to provide for regulation of the industry and protection of public right-of-
way, The Telecommunications Act was adopted to open up to competitive providers:
to 1) regulate cable television; 2) regulate wireless communication; and 3) regulation
of wireless telecommunications,
.
Mr, Goodwin said the ordinance has two features, one a licensing provision for the
requirement of obtaining a license and the second deals with activities in public right-
of-ways. The purpose of the changes to the City Code are to make sure the city can
continue to properly manage the right-of-way, while allowing certain companies the
access to use right-of-way on a non-discriminatory basis,
Mayor Morrisette inquired on licensing fees and compensation, Mr, Goodwin said the
city would keep track of fees and compensation through the League of Oregon Cities,
,
Mr, Goodwin said the Springfield Utility Board (SUB) had reviewed the ordinance on
May 13, but did not take any action at that time.
Mayor Morrisette opened the public hearing.
1, Duane Bosworth, 1300 S,W, 5th Avenue, Suite 2300, Portland, spoke
representing TCI Cable, He raised concerns in the ordinance as follows: 1) the
definition of cable operator; 2) the definition of what cable will pay, gross
revenues; 3) the most favored community requirement; 4) Section 3,224 which he
felt had problems and inconsistencies regarding federal law, concerning
transmission technology; and 5) TCI did not have the ability to carry out
telecommunication services, Mr, Bosworth told council he would like to submit
wording changes to staff to clarify the intent of the items mentioned above, He
asked council to reschedule the adoption of this ordinance until such time as TCI

.
Cable could review it in detail. He apologized that he had not had a chance to
work with staff regarding his proposed changes or clarifications,
Mr, Goodwin responded by saying he felt it was clear that the Cable Act of 1984,
as written did not apply to the ordinance. He responded specifically to Mr,
Bosworth's points of concern, but felt none were critical enough to require
postponement of the ordinance adoption, Mr. Goodwin said TCl's ability to enter
into the telecommunications service would only occur by entering into a new
franchise agreement with the city, The current agreement does not refer to any
type of telecommunication services being allowed or provided by TCI Cable,
2. Fred Simmons, 312 S, 52nd Place, Springfield requested council to defer action
on the ordinance for 90 days. He said council should ask for comments by
telecommunications experts across the country prior to adoption, Mr, Simmons
felt the city must create a fair playing field and be clear on what impact the
ordinance would have on internet providers or others by stifling competition, He
shared his concern over the cost analysis associated with service requirements,
Mayor Morrisette closed the public hearing,
.
Councilor Shaver asked Mr, Goodwin what language changes were recently
made, Mr, Goodwin said changes on pages 4,7 and 17, which all pertained
specifically to SUB,
Councilor Shaver stated there was an immediacy to adopt the ordinance, due to
pending requests from service providers, He felt adopting the ordinance now and
making necessary changes within its first year of use would be the best way to
proceed. Mr. Goodwin said amendments to the ordinance could occur anytime,
based on council's desire after staff has had time to make future
recommendations.
Mr. Goodwin stated he had had conversations with TCI Cable regarding the
proposed ordinance.
Councilor Ballew asked why Springfield is charging $1,000 per application when
the City of Eugene currently charges $5,000. Mr, Goodwin said the cost was
calculated on a 100 percent recovery basis and is a best guess at this point in
time. He said the fee could also be amended in the future.

BURGE TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 5891, THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE

renewal period and make license endorsements as appropriate, Council is
requested to provide one of the following recommendations to the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission (OLCC): 1) grant; 2) no recommendation; 3) do not grant
(unless applicant demonstrates commitment to overcome listed concern); or 4)
deny.
Mr, Puent said staff recommended approval of all licenses, with the exceptions
remaining on the Mill Camp establishment. He said it had also been over the six
month period, as council had requested, to review the license approval for the
McKenzie Ballroom,
Councilor Shaver asked if the letter of agreement dated May 20, 1997, includes
all of the conditions placed on the Mill Camp. Mr, Puent replied yes,
Councilor Burge asked Mr. Puent if issuance of licenses by OLCC in the 4th
quarter, is for last period of the quarter, plus the following year, Mr, Puent relied
yes, Councilor Burge asked if OLCC should have granted for the Brickhouse,
without council approval and a thorough investigation, as it is located directly
across from a school. He felt the process was not handled properly and the state
should not issue licenses without local approval.
Mayor Morrisette opened the public hearing,
.
1, Sue McNair, representing Springfield School District, 525 Mill Street, Springfield,
spoke in representation of Superintendent Jamon Kent. She read a letter of
opposition into the record regarding the Brickhouse. She asked council to revoke
the OLCC license which was recently obtained,
2,
Jennifer Potter, 1211 M Street, Springfield, spoke representing Springfield CALC.
She asked to meet with the Mayor and other members of the council for dialogue
regarding liquor license approval for the McKenzie Ballroom, She stated there
had been no significant increase in criminal activity in the downtown area due to
the McKenzie Ballroom,
3,
Will Myers, 630 Main Street, Springfield, stated he was the owner of the
McKenzie Ballroom. He spoke in favor of his business and said he is trying to
bring something positive to the downtown area of the city. Many different types of
organizations use his building including a church for services, private parties for
receptions, ballroom dancing, Latino dancing, etc, Mr, Myers felt it was important
for council to consider the positive things the business is doing, by focusing on
activities, He said alcohol consumption is in addition to other activities and not
the primary use.
.
Councilor Shaver said there are currently problems with operation at McKenzie
Ballroom, including garbage and noise issues, Mr. Myer spoke of space
problems in the alley behind their property and no room being available for a

Juan Martinez, 1160 Q Street, signed up to speak but was not presented when
his name was called,
5,
Jim Jensen, 30839 Blanton Drive, Eugene, said he had been a business owner
and promoter in the area for a few years. He felt the McKenzie Ballroom provided
good services to the community in terms of entertainment and were capable of
handling garbage and other issues, Mr, Jensen stated his support for the facility
and encouraged the council to continue working with the business and not against
it.
6.
Brenda Wood, 36668 Camp Creek Road, Springfield, said she is employed at the
University of Oregon in the Rental Information Office, She frequently helps
students look for housing and often refers them to Springfield: Ms. Wood said
she met Mr. Myers through her employment and continues to be impressed with
the McKenzie Ballroom, Ms, Wood said in her job she has had many claims
against Springfield due to race issues, but she continues to encourage people to
live and do business in Springfield, She spoke of the non-alcohol environments
Mr. Myer created on campus, specifically the Oregon Ballroom Club,
Councilor Shaver clarified the Springfield City Council did not deny the liquor
license request for the McKenzie Ballroom. Neitherthe Mayor nor the Chief of
Police contacted OLCC regarding the license and the recommendation occurred
without the city's input.
7.
Tim Pippet, 136 S, 6th Street, Springfield, spoke representing Oregon Sound and
Light. He said he has owned the business in downtown Springfield for past nine
years. He said in his opinion, the vandalism has decreased since the opening of
the McKenzie Ballroom, He felt they were good neighbors and a good addition to
the downtown area.
8,
Tamara Heauser, 36358 Camp Creek Road, Springfield, recently moved from
Eugene to Springfield and has created a good social life through the McKenzie
Ballroom, She stated she never danced prior to moving to Springfield, but had
taken lessons of both ballroom and Latino nature, Ms, Heausersaid there is a
wide range of people who enjoyed the services provided at the McKenzie
Ballroom and it has an important vision,
9,
James Beard, 1709 Rainbow Loop, Springfield, spoke in response to a letter from
CALC and a March 16 council work session tape he had listened to which had a
negative tone to the meeting, Mr, Beard said he felt council had asked staff to
look for violations in which to shut down the ballroom, He asked council to be fair
minded and engage in a more open minded review of the McKenzie Ballroom,
10, James Britt, 233 N, 9th Street, Springfield, spoke regarding the report of garbage
as a nuisance not as a reason for a liquor license denial. He felt a denial of the
renewal would be contrary to the city's own rules. Mr, Britt reviewed the

recommendation of Police Chief DeForrest with regards to Sprenger's, Club 44,
the Mill Camp and EI Dorado, The level of incidents cited at those establishments
are far worse than those at the McKenzie Ballroom, He reminded council of their
, public duty to follow the city rules and regulations and based on documents in the
staff report, he felt the council did not have the authority to deny the liquor license
permit.
11,
Nick Shevchvnski, 2445 Skyline Blvd., Eugene, said the ballroom should be a
positive business for Springfield, He said in his opinion it is a matter of record
that staff ignores the City Code, He suggested the council visit a dance or
ballroom event prior to passing judgment on the business,
12,
Ofelia Amparo, 1180 Pleasant Street, Springfield, represented Casa Latino,
where she is a manger in Eugene, She said when problems occurred at her
business, the Eugene Police Department was there to help them, Ms. Amparo is
now looking for a new building and when she heard the building was available
where the McKenzie Ballroom is located, she did not try to use the building as
Playa Azul was not able to receive their liquor license.
Mayor Morrisette closed the public hearing, .
.
Councilor Shaver suggested responding to the McKenzie Ballroom testimony first.
He said the OLCC had an action against the McKenzie Ballroom which is still
pending appeal between the business and OLCC and the city should not interfere
with the state process, Councilor Shaver said on March 9 OLCC posted the
building adults only and the decision is pending a hearing scheduled for May 14,
Councilor Shaver spoke of other establishments and said it is difficult to balance
the rules, while working within the law, Council has an obligation to send a
message that it may not like what activities occur, even when OLCC grants a
liquor license to an establishment. He felt the city should make no
recommendation regarding both the McKenzie Ballroom and Brickhouse at this
time and continue to document activity levels and any violations.
Mayor Morrisette and Councilor Burge felt the city should deny the
recommendation for the Brickhouse, due to its location being so close to a school.
Mayor Morrisette stated his preference to deny the recommendation for the Mill
Camp as there are too many attributable DUll's to the establishment._ He urged
McKenzie Ballroom owner, Will Myer, to attend the hearing at OLCC and discuss
his establishment with the state.
Councilor Beyer said the issue of minors in a liquor-dispensing establishment had
been a topic of previous council opinion, although not specifically pertaining to the
McKenzie Ballroom.

CounCilor Ballew clarified the zoning of the school, which the Brickhouse is
closely located too, There was a discussion on what building code issues the
alternative school needed to meet and how many high school students attend
each session (45, three classes per day). Mr, Puent said they must meet all code
requirements to continue the use,
Councilor Shaver felt a one-year review period would allow the city time to look at
any violations, while giving the school time to work on any code requirements.
.
Mayor Morrisette felt the city could argue on what occurred at previous
establishments at the same location, in terms of violations, He felt the council
should not recreate the problem in the downtown area,
Councilor Ballew felt the council could not predispose that the Brickhouse is
automatically a non-conforming establishment. Councilor Beyer said she is not
sure the OLCC would accept the city's denial, but felt the city should send a
message that it is not a good decision to place a liquor license establishment in
the viCinity of a school.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR SHAVER, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
BALLEW, TO MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION AND TAKE NO POSITION ON

CounCilor Shaver said he did not see a direct link between any criminal activity
increase in the downtown area due to the McKenzie Ballroom, The garbage
problem is repetitive in the staff report and does need a solution, Councilor
Shaver felt the responsibility rested with Mr. Myer, as owner, to solve the
problem, He felt Mr, Myers should be allowed to operate under his current dance

hall permit. Mr. Puent said although the permit was issued in November 1997, it
would not expire until July 1, 1998.
By consensus, council agreed to allow the permit to continue, based on the
garbage problem being corrected within 60 days and no other adverse affects to
the downtown area being noted within that time frame, It was noted that Mr,
Myers would need to reapply for his Dance Hall permit license, once it expired in
July,
