BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. Lane County Law Enforcement Levy and Criminal Justice Planning Agreement.
Assistant City Manager Gino Grimaldi presented the staff report on this issue. The Lane
County Sheriff has proposed a law enforcement levy which would provide improved law
enforcement and correction services. The levy would impact the overall tax rate of the City
of Springfield and other Springfield taxing districts. In conjunction with the levy, it has been
proposed that Lane County and the cites of Springfield and Eugene enter into an
intergovernmental agreement to study ways to improve coordination of law enforcement
services provided by each agency.
I
~
The proposed levy is divided into two tiers. Tier 1 would fund programs that are used and
paid for by all citizens of Lane County. Tier 2 would fund programs that are used and paid
for by citizens of the unincorporated areas of Lane County. Programs funded in Tier 1 will
provide an additional 44 beds in the County Jail, open the Forest Work Camp with 120 beds,

and significantly reduce delays in the book in of prisoners at the jail. In addition, the levy
assists Lane County with financial difficulties associated with the decline of timber receipts.
The proposed Criminal Justice Planning Agreement is intended to improve coordination
among law enforcement agencies in the metropolitan area. It creates an advisory body which
will evaluate and develop recommendations regarding the coordination of law enforcement
servIces.
In order to provide staffing for the proposed advisory body it is estimated that an initial
budget of $25,000 will be required. Lane County and the City of Eugene will contribute
$10,000 each and the City of Springfield's portion would be $5,000. It is recommended that
this effort be funded from the City Manager's "Opportunity Fund" which has $10,000
available at this time. Ongoing funding for this program would be discussed during the
adoption of the 1996-97 budget.
Councilor Ballew suggested Council receive additional information regarding funding
available within the City budget.
Councilor Maine felt the proposed levy was good and appreciated being involved in the
process. She also supported funding in the amount of $5,000. She would like to continue to
be involved in the process. She also supported input provided by City Attorney Joe Leahy,
Assistant City Manager Gino Grimaldi and City Manager Mike Kelly.
Councilor Beyer supported the request and asked how this effort would relate to the public
safety coordinating council required by Senate Bill 1145.
Councilor Burge discussed the 30 day exit clause and expressed support as long as it was
clear that it was with the condition that support did not infer any willingness to consolidate
law enforcement services, nor did it express direct support of the Sheriffs levy which, he
said, would need to stand alone.
Councilor Ballew did not support this request.
Mayor Morrisette was in favor of continuing participation but agreed with comments made by
Councilor Burge that there was no wish to support a consolidation of law enforcement
servIces.
Councilor Shaver supported the funding request. He felt this would enable Council to
continue being involved in the negotiating process. He felt the citizens of our community
needed to be represented.
City Manager Mike Kelly discussed funding options. He stated the $5,000 could be funded in
the current budget.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR MAINE, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
BURGE, TO APPROVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER
INTO A CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING AGREEMENT AND TO USE $5,000 OF THE
"OPPORTUNITY FUND" TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
PLANNING AGREEMENT. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 5 FOR AND 1
AGAINST (BALLEW).

to contract with the City of Springfield Department of Fire and Life Safety to provide
emergency medical services business system planning and design services as well as
ambulance billing and collection services.
Councilor Burge asked what the expected profit margin was. Mr. Garitz replied it was 4-5%.

Ashland. Mr. Garitz replied there were not. He discussed the need for the project to generate
funding. He felt the margin of profit was questionable.
Councilor Ballew questioned whether city staff should be added to perform staff work for
other agencies.
Mayor Morrisette discussed the benefits of engaging in business enterprises.
Councilor Dahlquist questioned the cost and time for recovery and startup expenses. He
discussed the need to have a minimum startup cost and possibly spread the cost over three
years so no money would be lost.
Councilor Shaver shared similar concerns to those expressed by Councilor Dahlquist. He
stated he would like to see the city protected in the area of startup cost and wanted to ensure
that costs are recovered and not lost.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR SHAVER, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
DAHLQUIST, TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN THE PROPOSED
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS WITH THE CITY OF ASHLAND, PROVIDED
THE CONTRACT LANGUAGE IS MODIFIED TO GUARANTEE THAT THE CITY OF
