ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR 1. a. Approval of the July, 2004 Disbursements for Approval. Councilor Ralston said he went through the July Disbursements and looked at the line items one by one. He had a number of questions. His end objective is to justify expenditures and if there is a way to fund the D.A.R.E. Program next year. The Springfield School Board is committed to their three-quarter funding and he wants the city to try to find additional funds to fund the remaining quarter of that program. He will be scrutinizing the budget to fmd money that could be used for the D.A.R.E. Program. Ms, Pappas said Budget Officer Norma Barton could be available to meet with him to go through which funds each of the disbursements are paid from. Councilor Ralston said he wanted to make a point on several things publicly. . Councilor Ballew suggested he submit his questions to staff in writing to allow Ms. Barton time to address all of council after time to research. Councilor Ralston asked about a per diem cost of $245.00. Ms, Barton said she would have to go back to the office to pull details for each item. Councilor Ralston said the numbers seem to be very high. He knows there are cheaper ways to do things and public employees should spend the money as if it was their own. He discussed ways employees may look at saving money, such as using Expedia.com rather than a travel agent. He suggested employees keep track of how they have saved money. Councilor Ralston referred to an item listed as "National Imp.Corp/Safety - drug awareness materials". He asked what those materials were used for and what pool of money the funds came from. If the city could use drug forfeiture money for that, he would set that money aside for the D.A.R.E. Program. He asked about bond reimbursements. Councilor Ralston said he would go over the remainder of his questions with Ms. Barton at a scheduled time. Ms. Pappas said they welcome the scrutiny and would appreciate a chance to get his questions and get the information to present to him in a meeting. He could then report back to the council following their meeting. Councilor Ralston said the city needs to do things as cheaply as possible to save jobs and possibly fund D.A.R.E. .

The applicant has proposed alternative easements for utilities and storm. . The easements to be vacated were part of development approval for the 1979 John Way Subdivision. The property owner has been working with the City of Springfield Public Works Department to relocate the public utility easements to create more developable land and to facilitate the distribution of essential utilities including waste water and storm water. The easements are no longer needed for Lots 2, 3, and 4 because essential services can now be distributed to and from 55th Street. The easements for Lots 5 and 6 will be replaced by the dedication of a new 13' P.D.E that will be located in the new, 26'-wide joint use/access panhandle driveway. Springfield Planning staff and Public Works staff have approved the new P.D.E. proposal and recommend the vacation of the 1979.easements. .

Ms. Gale said after the public hearing, Public Works staff could offer more detail on alternatives to the easements. Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak. Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing. NO ACTION REQUESTED. FIRST READING ONLY. 2. Supplemental Budget Resolution. . RESOLUTION NO. 04-40 - A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS IN THE MUSEUM FUND, THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER CAPITAL FUND, THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER SDC FUND, THE REGIONAL WASTEWATER FUND, AND THE BOOTH-KELLY FUND. Budget Officer Norma Barton presented the staff report on this item. At various times during the fiscal year the council is requested to make adjustments to the fiscal year budget to reflect needed changes in planned activities, to recognize new revenues, or to make other required adjustments. These adjustments to resources and requirements which change the current budget are processed through supplemental budget requests that the Finance Department schedules on an annual basis. This is the fIrst of four scheduled YF05 supplemental requests to come before council. The . supplemental budget being presented includes: adjusting resources and requirement in the Museum Fund, the Regional Wastewater Capital Fund, the Regional Wastewater SDC Fund, the Regional Wastewater Fund, and the Booth-Kelly Fund. Ms. Barton said that per the Memorandum of Agreement the city signed with the Springfield Museum Board, the city is to transfer all funds held in trust as of July 1,2004. When this supplemental budget request was written, the books had not been closed for FY03-04. The books were closed last week so they now have an exact amount of$73,204.53 that is due to the Museum. This supplemental budget zeroes out the appropriated amounts in the Museum Fund decreasing reserves and beginning cash in preparation of this payment to the Museum Board. The other item related to the Museum is regarding the city's agreement to remodel the Museum. The request for this project is for $10,000 and would come from the Booth Kelly Fund. She explained the other requests regarding the MWMC. . The overall financial impact of the Supplemental Budget Resolution is to decrease total appropriations by $79,048. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 20, 2004 Page 5 . Councilor Ralston asked if that money is something that the city could appropriate for something else or if it was just excess to be carried through to the next quarter. Ms. Barton said this is money that was budgeted in the Museum Fund. It is beginning cash, reserves and revenue that it due to the Museum. Councilor Ballew asked if the Museum would now take care of the operation costs of the Museum, and the city would continue to cover the maintenance and security. Development Services Director Bill Grile said that is correct including utilities. The money that was held in trust for the Museum was from revenues that they had generated by their own fund raising efforts. Councilor Ballew asked about an item in the July disbursements regarding the Museum store. She asked if the city was making purchases for the Museum store. Mr. Grile said the Museum Store is one of the sources of revenue the board uses. Ms. Pappas said that money would have come from the Museum Fund to make purchases for the store. The revenue from the sale of those items would have gone back into the Museum Fund. Councilor Ballew discussed the time when that transfer is taking place. . Mr. Leahy said the city is no longer funding any of those items. Mr. Grile said it is now the Museum's responsibility. Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing. No one appeared to speak. Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR BALLEW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 04-40. THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 4 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. Mayor Leiken discussed testimony by Curtiss Greer regarding an overcharge on user fees through the Springfield Utility Board. Mayor Leiken thanked staff for responding to Mr. Greer's concern quickly and effectively. BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE . 1. Nick Shevchvnski, 2347 Marcola Road, Springfield, OR. Mr. Shevchynski said the city had alleged that he was a nuisance and the property was a nuisance. He said he has worked long and hard to organize things. Last Thursday he spoke with Matthew Cox from the City Attorney's office and told him he had done a lot of work on the property. He told Mr. Cox he wasn't sure he was doing what the city wanted him to do or not. He said that Mr. Cox said he City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 20, 2004 Page 6 . should talk to a lawyer. Mr. Shevchynski said present activities on the property were a legal use long before the city annexed the area and continued without interruption until the present time and is legal under the nonconforming use code ofthe city. He asked if the city was allowing him nonconforming use. Councilor Ballew asked Mr. Shevchynski to clarify his question. Mr. Shevchynski said activities on the property were legal before it was annexed into the city and continue to this day without interruption. The city's nonconforming use code states that any activity that was legal before the city annexed the property may continue. He said he wanted to know if the city is allowing him nonconforming use under that code. Mr. Leahy said this is a matter under litigation. Mr. Shevchynski is free to raise any defenses to that litigation ifhe wishes to do so. Mr. Shevchynski said no one will speak with him before the litigation and after the litigation. They say they cannot talk to him because of litigation. He said he would assume that if the council is not saying yes, they are saying no and he will go with that. .' Mr. Leahy said that is incorrect representation of the council. There has been substantial communication and telephone calls with Mr. Cox in the City Attorney's Office and Mr. Shevchynski. Two letters went out to Mr. Shevchynski in the last two weeks and Mr. Leahy believes there were also telephone calls over the last week; therefore, Mr. Shevchynski's statement is incorrect information. Mr. Shevchynski said that just because there were telephone calls and letters going out doesn't mean his questions were answered. Mr. Leahy reiterated that the matter is under litigation. Mr. Shevchynski asked the city if his conversations were recorded and if so he believes the city is required to tell him so and offer him copies of those tape recordings. Mr. Leahy said any arrangements for recordation of telephone calls would have been made between Mr. Cox and Mr. Shevchynski. Mr. Leahy said he would raise that issue with Mr. Cox and have him address it with Mr. Shevchynski. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS 1. Correspondence from John E.

City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 20, 2004 Page 7 . BUSINESS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL 1. Committee Reports a. Councilor Woodrow reported that on behalf of the Public Safety Coordinating Council (PSCC) as the Vice Chair he attended the Governor's Summit on Juvenile Justice last Tuesday. He said he learned a lot of great information and had a chance to get to know Commissioner Green better. The McKenzie Watershed Council had their executive committee member meeting today. They are going forward with their non-profit to receive grants, the McKenzie Watershed Council will remain the way it is. b. Councilor Ballew reported on the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC). They are in the process of recruiting for the public advisory committee. If council knows of anyone that might be interested, she suggested they have them watch for the announcement. She discussed the Lane Workforce Partnership. Many complaints they receive from employers is that many of the people that come to work for them are not ready for work. It was the executive committee's advice to target and relate training to industries the Partnership is targeting for work force development and to increase the workers' earning capacity within the job. . c. Councilor Ralston reported on the Housing Policy Board (HPB). Springfield has a SHOP Program and Eugene has HAP Program for housing. For many years, Springfield has outperformed Eugene in the sale of houses, especially starter homes. One of the reasons is because the average cost of a house in Eugene is higher than that in Springfield. The HPB wanted to make things more equitable by giving Eugene residents more money. The Board discussed this and will probably go in that direction. Interest rates in Springfield are five percent and five point six-one percent in Eugene. The SHOP Program puts a high priority on homeownership and Eugene has always had a priority on affordable housing. Councilor Ballew said the housing in Springfield costs less because Springfield residents make less money. Giving people in Eugene more money is contrary to what she would think. Councilor Ralston said it doesn't make up for the difference. Someone could qualify for something they can't afford. . Mayor Leiken said part of it is policy, but a lot of it is an attitude and philosophical difference. He has spoken with a number of people who have moved to Springfield from Eugene. Part of their decision to move was because of the attitude of empowerment and personal responsibility. There is a pride in Springfield of homeowners hip. Eugene has a different philosophy. Council should be proud. Council has asked staff to concentrate on home ownership as a goal in our community. He referred to his State of the City address two years ago when he was able to say that for the fIrst time in a number of years, Springfield had more homeowners than renters. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 20, 2004 Page 8 . Councilor Lundberg said her concern is that the city has great programs for home ownership, but sometimes home loans go out that are actually too high for the homeowner. It is important for people to get into a home, but also to stay in a home. It is not just the cost of utilities, but also the upkeep and maintenance of the home. She said we need to be careful how we use the programs so we have neighborhoods we can be proud of and the homeowners can keep to a standard. She said we do also have programs to help people with home repair. Ms. Pappas said everyone that receives a SHOP loan attends a homeownership training class. Mayor Leiken said that it a good point. An issue has arisen that the Mayor has discussed with Housing Manager Kevin Ko. Part ofthe issue is a policy issue from NEDCO. It is a balancing issue and Mr. Ko is very aware of this issue. If there is going to be participation with NEDCO, it needs to be a win-win situation. d. Mayor Leiken said he would be attending the Oregon Economic Community Development Department (OECDD) meeting in Portland on Tuesday, September 21 dealing with international trade. The Governor wants to emphasize more trade with Pacific Rim countries. The fIrst country they are emphasizing is Japan, The Governor has chosen Junki Yoshida, owner of the Yoshida Group, to chair this effort. 2. League of Oregon Cities Conference - Voting Delegate Designation. . Mayor Leiken discussed the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) Annual Conference which will be held on November 4-6, 2004 in Portland. Council needs to appoint a delegate and an alternate who are mandated to attend. Other councilors are welcome to attend as well. The conference includes a lot of good meetings and seminars. Because Councilor Fitch was not in attendance, he chose to wait until the October 4 meeting to appoint a delegate and an alternate. Mayor Leiken will be attending the conference. BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER 1. Council Initiation of an Amendment to the Metropolitan Area General Plan Diagram, Glenwood Refmement Plan Diagram and Text Amendment to the Conceptual Local Street Map, and Adoption of Project Area Storm Drainage Master Plan and Establishment of the Willamette River Greenway Setback. . City Planner Susanna Julber presented the staff report on this item. The enactment of these proposed amendments will preserve the development and redevelopment potential of this area for the type, scale, and mix of uses along the riverfront as envisioned by the council since 1999. The project area is approximately 48 acres, and is currently zoned a mix of Community Commercial. Light Medium Industrial, and Low Density Residential. Because all properties within the project area are outside the city limits, property owners will be required to annex to the city prior to developing their properties. The lack of sanitary sewer to serve the project area has kept properties from redeveloping, Sanitary sewer is soon to be constructed in Franklin Boulevard, and with the availability of sanitary sewer, property owners will be able to annex and apply for development permits in the fall of 2005. It is important that the regulatory environment is in City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 20, 2004 Page 9 . place to guide redevelopment of the Glenwood Riverfront project area consistent with the Council vision and the draft Riverfront Plan. Initiation of this action by council would result in a hearing before the Joint Planning Commissions in November, and a hearing before the Joint Elected Officials in January or February of2005. Ms. Julber said she is here to discuss initiating a process that is based on direction staff received during a work session on May 10, 2004 in order to implement the vision of the Glenwood Riverfront as an active, mixed-use revitalized area. She explained the process they were asking council to initiate. By initiating this work, council is not approving anything other than giving staffthe go ahead to get the work started. There is a lot more public review that will be coming. Councilor Ballew confirmed that this just starts the plan. Staff will come back to council with specifics. Ms. Julber said that was correct. She also noted the change in the third motion which was given to Councilor Ballew. Mayor Leiken confirmed this was for the Glenwood Riverfront and did not include the area including the Lane County Transfer Site. . IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR BALLEW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO APPROVE A MOVE TO INITIATE A METROPOLITAN AREA GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM AMENDMENT TO REDESIGNATE CERTAIN PARCELS, FROM COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL/MULTI-F AMIL Y RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE TO COMMERCIAL/MULTI-FAMIL Y RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE/NODAL DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY, CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS FOR SUCH AMENDMENT FOUND IN ARTICLE 7, SECTION 7.040 OF THE SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE (SDC), FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES CONTAINED IN SUBAREA 8 OF THE GLENWOOD REFINEMENT PLAN.

THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 4 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. Mayor Leiken asked how far the setback was located. Ms. Julber said the city has a consultant on contract who would determine that figure. It could be as little as five feet in some areas. Council will be able to review that information at a later date. .

THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 4 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 2. 32nd and Main Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Transportation Manager Nick Arnis presented the staff report on this item. As part of the funding package for the 32nd and Main intersection project, there is an IGA that allows the City to spend up to $200,000 of ODOT funds to improve the intersection. . Staff met with council during a work session on May 17,2004 to explain the various agreements and public and private partners in the 32nd and Main intersection project. The ODOT IGA in Attachment A is one of the agreements staff discussed with council at the May 17 work session. The partners and their general responsibilities are as follows. The city will finish the improvements to 32nd Street, construct a new signal and right turn lane at 32nd and Main, and add a new north leg to the intersection to serve the proposed Les Schwab development. Les Schwab will sign an agreement, which council authorized the City Manager to sign on May 17, 2004, to provide all the funding to the city for the new north leg of the intersection and pay for 25% of the intersection improvements. ODOT will provide the city up to $200,000 from its Highway 126 (Main Street) preservation project scheduled in 2005 for the intersection project. The city and Les Schwab will each pay 25% for the intersection improvements while ODOT is responsible for 50% ofthe work up to $200,000. In addition, Arlie & Company according to the Sports Center agreement (2002) will provide a portion of the funding for the remaining 32nd Street improvements and has contributed right of way for a right turn lane on Main Street that is part of the intersection improvement. The 32nd Street intersection and street project was delayed this construction season in order to obtain ODOT permits and approval, including this IGA. The project must be built by July 15, 2005 to accommodate the ODOT preservation project also scheduled for summer 2005. Staff thought the project would be underway this summer, but the IGA was not yet resolved and ready. Councilor Ballew said her recollection was that Arlie and Co. had some responsibility for improvements on their frontage on 32nd Street. Mr. Arnis said that was correct. Councilor Ballew asked if they would be meeting their monetary involvement within this agreement. Mr. Arnis said that is correct. They have also donated the right-of-way for a right turn lane along their frontage of Main Street in anticipation of this project. Councilor Ballew asked for the estimated total cost. Mr. Arnis said the total for the inters~ction was about $190,000. Councilor Woodrow asked if there was an estimated start time. Mr. Arnis said ODOT has given the city until July 15,2005 to be out of Main Street because ODOT has a preservation project coming through. The start date for the intersection project is April 2005, which will allow plenty of time to be out of the way by July, . City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 20, 2004 Page 11 . Councilor Lundberg asked if the city was taking the lead and would be provi4ing the public notice. She asked if ODOT was named in the letters that are sent out. Mr. Arnis said the city is the entity leading the project and working with property owners. Any notices that go out would be from the city only. The preservation project is ODOT's project with Karl Wieseke as the project manager. Councilor Ballew asked what work was being done down the middle of Franklin Boulevard in Glenwood. Mr, Arnis said it was the sewer project. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR BALLEW WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT) FOR STATE FUNDS FOR THE 32ND AND MAIN INTERSECTION PROJECT.
