CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES NOT TO EXCEED $2,500.00 FOR EACH
VIOLATION.
Senior Environmental Services Technician Bill Hamann was present for the staff report. He said
this ordinance is scheduled for a public hearing and fIrst reading. He said the information was
discussed earlier in the work session. The ordinance is a housekeeping item to put us in line with
the model ordinance. The city sent notice to all affected parties, and published the notice.
Mayor Leiken opened the public hearing.
1. David Carvo 4010 East 16th Avenue, Eugene (Glenwood). As a plumber, this maximum
penalty isn't nearly as strict as the plumbing code. He read the information from the
plumbing code. By state plumbing code anyone dumping into the system, the plumbing
inspector could red flag them, so the $2500.00 a day fme is the lesser of two evils. Mr. Carvo
would encourage council to at least give the city the authority to assess these fmes.
Otherwise the plumbing inspector has to go in and shut the company down.
Mayor Leiken closed the public hearing.

BUSINESS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
1. Request from the South 79th Street Improvement District to Amend Resolution 01-61.
RESOLUTION NO. 01-61 (REVISED) - A RESOLUTION INITIATING AN
EXTRATERRITORIAL WATER LINE EXTENSION TO TERRITORY OUTSIDE THE
CITY OF SPRINGFIELD AND WITHIN THE METRO PLAN URBAN GROWTH
BOUNDARY AND REQUESTING THAT THE LANE COUNTY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION APPROVE THE EXTENSION IN A
PUBLIC HEARING.
Planning Supervisor Mel Oberst was present for the staff report. He said this has been revised in
a joint session with our city attorney, himself and some of the leaders of the 79th Street
Association. The significance is that the language has been changed from requiring a deed
restriction to requiring a notification on the deed. This does achieve the council's purpose of
alerting future purchasers of property in that area as it will show up during closing. The
notification reads that property owners must be made aware that land subdivision may be
restricted because of a lack of infrastructure at the time. If approved, he will take it over to the
Boundary Commission tomorrow in time for the deadline for their next regularly scheduled
meeting. This will give the neighbors a chance to make their case for extraterritorial water line
extension approval and if approved, start to raise the money necessary to get the water extended.
Councilor Hatfield thanked Councilor Lundberg for her assistance in keeping this project going
and helping to resolve the issue.
IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR HATFIELD, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR
LUNDBERG TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 01-61 (REVISED). THE MOTION
PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 5 IN FAVOR AND 0 AGAINST.
