commenced. He suggested that it should be specified that interest would commence on the effective date of the agreement or the amendment. Ms. Childs said given that the majority of the infrastructure investment was for infrastructure within the Eugene city limits, it could also be argued that interest should commence on the effective date of the transfer of territory, which would occur around the end of March. Mr. Tollenaar did not favor that approach as he believed it was the jurisdictional transfer, and not the transfer of territory, that triggered the obligation on the part of Springfield. Mr. Laue arrived at 5:36 p.m. City Manager Jim Johnson asked Springfield staff to comment. Susan Daluddung, City of Springfield, referred the council to page 27, Schedule A of the Intergovernmental Agreement, which indicated that interest would commence on the effective date of the transfer of territory. She added that Springfield was open to discussion, adding that the issue had been discussed by the council committee. Mr. Johnson clarified that the transfer in question referred to the transfer of the territory already annexed to Eugene. Mr. Tollenaar reiterated his belief that it was more logical and fair to start the interest as of the effective date of the Intergovernmental Agreement because it created the obligation. He pointed out that if the presently annexed territories remained within the city limits, Springfield would still have had the obligation to reimburse Eugene for its expenditures in the unincorporated area. Ms. Daluddung said she believed the Springfield council would be open to the change. Mr. Tollenaar indicated he would move to approve the amendment contingent upon the change in the effective date for the commencement of interest. Mr. Johnson announced that the council would consider Council Bill 4674, an ordinance adopting a text amendment to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan to modify Section II- C and Section IV, Policy 5.b., and to transfer jurisdiction for Glenwood from Eugene to Springfield. Mr. Tollenaar moved, seconded by Mr. Laue, that the bill, with the unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. Mr. Johnson announced that the council would consider Council 4674 by number only.
