RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSED INCORPORATION IN THE RIVER ROAD AND SANTA CLARA AREA (memo, resolution, background information distributed) Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow introduced the agenda item. Planning Director Jim Farah presented the staff report. Mr. Farah said this item had briefly been discussed by the council on October 10. He said the resolution presented to the council for adoption was identical to the resolution adopted by the City of Springfield. He said the resolution addressed the concerns stated e by the council at the Monday night meeting, stating that the resolution would put the council on record concerning certain criteria to which the incorporation measure must respond. In response to a question, Mr. Farah said the Feasibility Study had been referred by the Boundary Commission to a variety of governmental bodies, including the City of Eugene and the LCDC. He said the process was usually a staff response and staff was asking the council to take a general position on the Feasibility Study analysis. He clarified that the resolution spoke specifically to the Feasibility Study. In response to a question, Mr. Farah outlined the Boundary Commission process, stating that public hearings would be held on November 3 and 17, 1983. He said the commission was required by state statute to make a decision by November 24, 1983. If finding affirmatively for the incorporation, the commission would forward a recommendation for the incorporation to the Lane County Board of Commissioners, who would then set a date for an election, possibly in May 1984. A negative finding by the Boundary Commission would stop the process unless an appeal was made to the Appeals Courts. Mr. Farah said the staff response and the resolution, along with the other referral processes, would become records to be reviewed by the Boundary Commission in its deliberations. City Attorney Tim Sercombe clarified that a denial by the Boundary Commission would stop the incorporation process and the required public vote, but that an affirmative finding by the commission would send the issue to the Lane County Commissioners. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 12, 1983 Page 3
