Councilor Burge had concerns regarding community needs and protection. He
discussed land use, precedent setting and monitoring of the Centennial car
camp. He explained that many cars at the car camp had out-of-state license
plates such as Canada, Florida, Utah and California. He expressed sympathy
with local area families experiencing difficult times. But he did not want to
create a transitory non-local car camp which could become a destination for
people from other states.
.

related to the proposed homeless car camp. He felt churches were stakeholders
in the community. He felt there should be federal legislation and funding
available for the homeless. He felt that if this was mandated in each
jurisdiction, the situation would become a community responsibility. He shared
personal difficulties he experienced while in transition from California to
Oregon and without a permanent home address. He suggested that the families
located at the car camp be required to be previous Springfield residents. He
thought this was a good qualifier. He supported the proposal with this type of
condition.
Councilor Beyer did not feel this was the appropriate forum to discuss
concerns. She stated she would not support the proposal at this point due to a
lack of criteria and other information.
Councilor Schanz agreed with comments made by Councilor Beyer. He felt the
proposal was very limited. He was not comfortable with people sleeping in a
car next to a building that may be utilized as a shelter.
Councilor Shaver discussed homelessness. He felt the problem could not be
solved with one proposal but thought that chipping away at the problem may help
at least one person. He commended the Church of the Nazarene for their efforts
to address this problem. He discussed land-use problems related to the
proposal. He explained he did not support the proposal because of land-use
issues. He discussed interim services that could be an option. He expressed
his concern that the problem would not go away.
Councilor Maine had similar concerns regarding land-use issues. He discussed
the land-use process. He felt that placing a camp in a residential area was
not acceptable. He agreed with some comments made by Councilor Schanz. He
also explained that there were many churches willing to help with the homeless
situation. He supported having families live inside the church building. He
thought there were many other resources to pursue.
Mayor Morrisette expressed support for the proposal and reiterated that this
proposal was for a 'transitional' camp for the most needy families. However,
he suggested further discussion should occur between the residents and the
church. He also suggested that other sites be considered for the camp.
Councilor Walters explained that there were many people willing to support the
proposal. He again discussed support for prior Springfield residents to
utilize the camp.
The Council directed the church to discuss the proposal with the neighbors and
to consider other options for assisting the homeless including looking for
other sites for a car camp.

Environmental Programs Manager Gary Colwell presented a staff report on
this issue. Section 4-7-35 of the City Code authorizes and directs the
City Manager to promulgate such rules and regulations as may be deemed
necessary or proper to carry out the purpose or provisions of the city's
industrial pretreatment ordinance. Such rules and regulations have been
developed jointly by technical and legal staffs of the cities of
Springfield and Eugene and the Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission. Several amendments to the City Code are necessary to
facilitate the adoption of these administrative rules which include an
enforcement response plan. Staff asks that an emergency be declared
because the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has urged the
immediate implementation of the enforcement response plan.

ordinance would be brought back to Council in legislative format to reflect
changes made.

City Recorder Eileen Stein presented a staff report on this issue. At the
Council's goal setting/team building session on May 19, 1993, a number of
changes were suggested to the Council's operating policies and procedures.
These changes necessitate updating the Council's operating policies and
procedures, as well as amending Chapter I, Article 3 "City Council" of the
Springfield City Code.
Article 3 of Chapter I of the City Code prescribes the time that regular
meetings of the council will convene and the order of business on the
meeting agenda. In order to make the suggested changes to a 7:00 p.m.
starting time and the change of order of business, an ordinance amending
the code must be approved. Other changes suggested only affect the
Council's operating policies and procedures.

would not be held on holidays, but on the next working day. They also
discussed that this was more convenient for staff.
Council also discussed time limits for testimony from the audience.
Councilor Shaver suggested this item be moved to the end of the agenda.
Councilor Burge discussed the need to handle business efficiently and
timely. He suggested that Business from the Audience be eliminated and
requested that comments and concerns be submitted in writing and dealt with
under Correspondence and Petitions. Mayor Morrisette agreed.
City Attorney Joe Leahy advised the Council they could put parameters on
the testimony it receives from the public and suggested that Council allow
15 or 20 minutes for testimony from the audience and divided the time by
those wishing to speak.

"E" STREET SANITARY SEWER 58TH STREET EAST 248 FEET AND VICINITY (1-774),
IN THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD, LANE COUNTY, OREGON AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Acting Finance Director Pat Coleman was available to answer questions. The
city has completed a local improvement project including installation of
the E Street sanitary sewer, 58th Street East 248 feet and vicinity. The
Council is requesting to adopt the ordinance assessing the properties for
this project in the amount of $15,865.82. The ordinance contains an
emergency clause which makes it effective immediately upon adoption. The
emergency clause is being used in order to enter the liens on the City

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. Amendment to Fee Schedule for Ambulance and Emergency Medical Services.
RESOLUTION NO. 93-28 - A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF CHARGES FOR
AMBULANCE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES BY THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD.
.
EMS Coordinator John Garitz presented a staff report on this issue.
Ambulance user fee rates are reviewed annually to insure that user fee
revenue is adequate to support operation of the EMS system, to stay current
with Medicare reimbursement allowable amounts and to compare our rates with
other cities with similar programs. This proposal will increase the
all-inclusive base rate and mileage charges by six percent. If approved,
.
.
.
City Council Regular Session Minutes
June 7, 1993
Page 10
the new rates, in conjunction with FireMed membership fees and other EMS
revenue, will support the FY 1993-94 EMS enterprise budget.
Ambulance billings would increase by an average of six percent effective
July 1, 1993, and result in an after collection net revenue increase of
approximately 2.8 percent. The difference between the gross billing
increase and the net revenue increase is due to the time it takes for
insurers' reimbursement profiles to reflect any increase in rates. Because
insurers, especially Medicare, look at rates over a prior year before
changing their reimbursement levels (revising their "usual and customary
amount"), a rate increase won't be fully reflected for up to 24 months
after a change. The proposed rate increase would increase revenue by an
estimated $50,782 in the next 12 months.
Ambulance rate comparisons with other Oregon cities show Springfield's
proposed rates to be in the mid-range of the cities surveyed. The last
rate increase became effective June 1, 1992. Since that time, the medical
Consumer Price Index has risen by 6.3 percent.
The proposed rate increases are uniform with the city of Eugene's proposed
ambulance rates. If adopted, the two cities would continue to charge
identical user fee rates.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR MAINE, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR BURGE, TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 93-28. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0
AGAINST.
2. Withdraw Award of the Contract with Lantz Electric for Project 1-811 from
May 17 Council Meeting, and Direct Staff to Rebid the Project.
Traffic Engineer Scott Morris provided a staff report on this issue. Lantz
Electric has submitted a request to withdraw the award of their contract
for project 1-811 and re-bid the project.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR MAINE, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WALTERS, TO
DIRECT STAFF TO REBID THE PROJECT. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR
AND 0 AGAINST.
3. Ratification of the Metropolitan Yastewater Management Commission (MWMC)
Fiscal Year 1993-94 Budget.
MWMD General Manager Kathy Schacht was available to answer questions of
Council. On April 22, 1993, following a public hearing, the MWMC approved
the fiscal year 1993-94 budget and is now submitting it to Springfield as
one of its three member governments (Springfield, Eugene, and Lane County)
for ratification. The ratification is required prior to the Commission
adoption of the budget.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR MAINE, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR BURGE, TO
