rehabilitation needed in this year's sanitary sewer rehabilitation project. Insituform has done

2. Business from Council
a. Committee Reports
1. Councilor Burge reported on the Public Safety Coordinating Council meeting. He
explained the Lane County Board of Commissioners intend to submit a new levy for
the May ballot, which they have to do by 5:00 Thursday, March 21, 1996. The group
met last Friday and again today. He discussed the $15 million, two year levy. The
Public Safety Coordinating Council did not make that decision, the Lane County
Commissioners did. He was comfortable at that level. There was some conversation
about leaving it status quo but were also provided with a survey of the results of the
voters on the last levy a few weeks ago. He thought there was clear indication there
was a need for additional criminal justice system service and components but felt $84
million over three years was to large of a step without a clearly defined goal, purpose
and allocation of the funds. It seemed to be a solid majority that felt Lane County was
doing a good job but it was just too much money too fast without clear definition of its
intended use or a without a clear plan into the future. He felt that was the Public
Safety Coordinating Council's purpose as defined by SB 1145 and that is what it was
intended to do.
.
Councilor Maine discussed the funding of the intergovernmental 190 agreement. She
stated it was intended to be a two year agreement to coordinate public safety services
and then determine what is the best level of funding public safety services, including
what agency should be providing what service.
City Manager Mike Kelly asked if the issue of funding for staffing the Public Safety
Coordinating Council and Councilor Burge responded no. He indicated that Councilor
Maine was clear about it at a previous meeting and he was supportive of that. It was a
Lane County issue, and Springfield was in Lane County and citizens did not want to
pay twice for the same product.
City Manager Mike Kelly stated that he wanted to ensure that that view was known
and the Lane County Commissioners were aware of the Council's position regarding
staffing of the Public Safety Coordinating Council. With Council permission, Mr.
Kelly would communicate the Council's position to the County Administrative
Officer.
2. Councilor Shaver discussed the Southern Willamette Private Industry Council
meeting. He stated that their contract was not picked up by Lane County and efforts
were being made to see that SWPIC becomes independent and a possible overall
savings up to $150,000 due to lack of duplication.
3. Councilor Burge discussed the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority. He eXplained
that LRAPA was actively seeking a new location due to space needs at city hall. He
hoped Council would encourage them to remain in Springfield.
