SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
PARTIES:
Home Builders Association of Lane County,
an Oregon nonprofit mutual benefit corporation,
2053 Laura Street
Springfield, OR 97477
(HBA)
And
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission,
an Oregon intergovernmental agency,
225 5th Street "
Springfield, OR 97477
(MWMC)
RECITALS:
A. MWMC was created in 1977 by an intergovernmental agreement (IGA)
between the cities of Eugene and Springfield and Lane County (collectively the
Governing Bodies). Pursuant to the IGA, MWMC is responsible for the design,
construction, operation and maintenance of regional sewerage facilities for the
Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area (Regional Facilities). Other MWMC"functions
include the adoption of a schedule of user charges and connection fees for regional sewer
" services. Connection fees (also known as System Development Charges or SDCs) are to
be charged to all new sewer connections and are calculated annually. MWMC calculates
and recommends the amount of the user charges and connection fees for the Regional
Facilities to the Governing Bodies which adopt, impose, and collect them in their
respective jurisdictions.
B. During 1996 & 1997, MWMC developed a methodology pursuant to
which regional wastewater SDCs were to be calculated. The Cities of Eugene and
Springfield adopted the Methodology in 1997 (1997 Methodology).
C. Almost 6 years later, MWMC recommended that the Cities modify the .
1997 Methodology to specify the use of a lO-year capital improvement plan (Modified
Methodology). The proposed modification went before the Eugene City Council in
January 2003. HBA objected to the proposed modification and later threatened to file
suit under the Writ of Review process, pursuant to ORS 223.304(6).
D. Due to the concerns raised by HBA, MWMC staffwas asked to review the
Modified Methodology. After conducting the review, staff recommended that the 1997
Methodology remain in place until a comprehensive review process could be completed.
E. On June 19,2003, MWMC directed staffto undertake a comprehensive
review (Review Process) of the 1997 Methodology. The Review Process will utilize the
Settlement Agreement - Page 1 of 4

expertise of a SDC consultant and form a citizens advisory committee (CAC) to
recommend whether changes should be made to the 1997 Methodology. MWMC also
recommended the continued use of the 1997 Methodology and imp9sition of SDC fees
based thereon during the Review Process.
.
F. On July 28,2003, the Springfield City Council accepted MWMC's
recommendation and adopted, by Resolution No. 03-41, a regional wastewater SDC
reference data sheet from which the regional SDC fees are derived based on the 1997
Methodology including the required factors such as the use of the 5-year CIP updated to
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2003.
G. HBA filed a Notice of Intent to Appeaf with the Oregon Land Use Board
of Appeals (LUBA) challenging Resolution No. 03-41. HBA also continued to express
intent to reinstitute litigation against the City of Springfield, pursuant to ORS 223.304(6).
H. It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement resolve the LUBA appeal
and the need for other litigation, pending the completion of the Review Process.
I. To facilitate the settlement of the dispute, MWMC staff prepared an
updated Regional :Facilities wastewater SDC reference data sheet using the factors .
required by the 1997 Methodology updated to the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2002 (Fee
