Once I hear back from you, I will send it out to Gino. Thanks a million, Brenda Gino, As you are aware the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd Annexation is scheduled for Public Hearing before City Council July 6, 2009 first reading. Staff is preparing to write the AIS for this item and need your recommendation on whether or not this should go as an "emergency", Like the Glenwood Bridge Annexation, MLK Jr. Blvd, Annexation has,been the topic of news stories with pedestrian safety as the lead topic, Prior to Andy putting his AIS together we need to know what direction you would like staff to take with this Annexation. If you decide that you want this to go as an "Emergency" there are certain protocols I need to follow prior to the public hearing so we meet our notification requirements with the Department of Revenue and Lane County Tax and Assessment, I know it is not the 'practice of the City Council to use the Emergency Clause with Annexations, but like the Glenwood Bridge Annexation, I thought it at least warranted an email with asking you what you would like and also comments received by Chief Smith. I have pasted Chief Smith comments below for your review: Most citizens likely believe that the MLK Parkway and the roundabout at Hayden Bridge are in the City of Springfield. Expectations of enforcement activity by Springfield Police on the parkwoy and roundabaut should be tempered somewhat until such time as annexation occurs. Any enforcement by Springfield Police in this orea cannot be heard in Springfield Municipal Court until such time as annexation is completed. Enforcement activity would be referred to the Lane County Circuit Court or Lane Justice Court, resulting in a) loss of revenue for the Municipal Court and b) exposure to overtime since those courts do not work with the Police Department in scheduling hearings/trials. If there is an expectation of increased immediate enforcement by SPD, I would recommend an emergency clause in the Council Decision. If that is not the case, then I would defer to others since it has little/no impact to the Police Department. , 1 Date Reteived: L //~ ~f Planner: AL ~/ '7 I will be sending out the 300' notice to the Owners and Residents by the end of this week which we are also in,serting a Neighborhood Meeting announcement which is scheduled for June 30, 2009.
