IMPACT:
The City received three applications for one vacancy during a four week recruitment process.
Mr. Steve Moe resides at 3698 Franklin Boulevard, Eugene (Glenwood Resident); and is self
employed as an Engineer, Intercity, Inc.
Ms. Diana Y. Alldredge resides at 822 N. 57th St., Springfield, 97478; and is an Office Clerk with
Lane County.
Mr. Michael G. Koivula resides at 723 Crest Lane, Springfield, 97477; and is a Land Surveyor
with the City of Eugene.
The Springfield Planning Commission is a seven member volunteer Commission appointed by the
City Council. The members serve four-year terms that are staggered to avoid more than two
positions expiring at the same time. Of the seven members, two appointments may live outside
the City limits and two appointments may be involved in the Real estate profession. Positions are
“at-large”, and do not represent specific geographic areas.
Currently the Planning Commission has one member, Commissioner Moe, who lives outside the
City limits; none of the current members work in the Real Estate profession.
It is requested that selection ratification occur after the interviews to avoid waiting until the
Council return from recess on September 10th.

Planning Commission Interview Questions
1. The Planning Commission generally meets two evenings each month and
additional evening meetings are sometimes necessary. There are also materials
to be reviewed in advance of these meetings that may take a couple of hours to
read. Given your work and/or family demands, can you fully participate as a
Commission member?
2. How familiar are you with planning laws and policies and the purpose they serve
in Springfield’s land use decision making process? If your experience with these
laws is limited, what actions would you take to become familiar so that you can
function fully as a Planning Commissioner?
3. Many of the land use laws applied by the Planning Commission are state or
federally mandated. During a Planning Commission hearing how would you
reconcile your own personal opinions with the applicant’s interests when those
interests do not comply with the land use laws?
4. What is your general understanding of the relationship between the Planning
Commission and City Staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council?
5. What role do you think the Planning Commission should have with the
revitalization of downtown?
6. How would you recommend balancing the community’s need for attractive
commercial and industrial development with the rights of property owners?
7. Springfield and Eugene have or will adopt individual, city-wide refinement plans
of the Metro Plan, including separate urban growth boundaries. Do you believe
this move towards individual plans and away from regional planning is in the best
interests of Springfield? Are there any land use issues that should continue to
rely on regional, joint decision-making among Springfield, Eugene and Lane
County elected officials?
