NO. 97-29
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD COMMON COUNCIL ADOPTING THE
METHODOLOGY FOR THE REGIONAL SEWERAGE FACILITY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
CHARGE AS SET FORTH IN THE SPRINGFIELD CITY CODE.
WHEREAS, on February 9, 1977, the City of Springfield entered into an agreement with the
City of Eugene and Lane County which established the Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission (MWMC).
WHEREAS, on November 26, 1990 the Commission approved a reimbursement fee system
development charge (SDC) for connecting to the regional sewerage system and established a
methodology utilizing the equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) and plumbing fixture unit as standard
units to be used in measuring the impact of new development on the regional sanitary sewage
facilities.
WHEREAS, in response to advice from the cities that EDUs and plumbing fixture units do not
accurately characterize the impact of large developments on the regional sanitary sewage
facilities, the Commission, in mid 1996, appointed a citizen advisory committee (CAC) to study
SDC methodologies and to recommend a new methodology to be used for computing the
Regional Sanitary Sewerage Facility SDC.
WHEREAS, on May 15, 1997 MWMC approved an SDC methodology formulated around the
CAC recommendations which would implement a reimbursement fee and an improvement fee
SDC. The combined fee SDC would be based on the quantity and strength of sewage to be
discharged by new development.
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement the City is obligated to adopt
rates and charges not less than those adopted by the Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Springfield that
effective July 1, 1997, the City Manager or his designee is authorized to use the attached
methodology in administering section 2-10-3 of the City Code and calculating the Regional
Sanitary Sewer System Development Charge.
Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Springfield the 16th day of June, 1997.
