COMMITTEE REPORTS Committee meeting held June 6, 1968: "Present: Mayor Cone; Councilmen Anderson, Lauris, Purdy, McNutt, Hayward, 'McDona1d, and Wingard; City Manager and staff; and others. 1 1. Fire Protection Contract, Spencer Creek-Bailey Hill District - The Council was asked for authorization to negotiate a contract with the Spencer Creek-Bailey Hill Fire Protection District whereby the City's equipment would be used to fight fires within the District wxth manpower to be provided by the Bethel volunteers. The City Manager explained that the District requested the City to furnish fire protection based on the same formula used in contracts with other fire districts (6~-mi11 levy this year increasing to an 8-mi11 levy in another two years). He said however it was the general feeling the dollar valuation which the City would realize under that formula would not be sufficient to give the necessary protection, nor would it offset the potential hazard to the City by having personnel and equipment so far removed from the area where City services are needed. The Manager said no contract would be given consideration if the area involved were in a position to be annexed - it is an area roughly the size of the entire City and sparsely settled with no need for other City services. The Fire Chief explained why he would not recommend the normal contract, citing travel distances from various stations and personnel which would be needed. He said any contract with the District would cover only structures, it would not cover timberlands, and negotiations would resolve procedures to cover fires in areas where grass fires might occur. Councilman Wingard said he felt if such a contract is entered into, the people within the District should understand that if the City finds it necessary to terminate the contract, and the District is in a position to be annexed, the District will not construe termination as applying pressure to secure annexation. Dr. Bond, represent- ing the District, said they are pleased with the type of contract outlined, and said the people in the District realize that the protection which can be offered is limited because of travel distances and time involved. Mr. Wingard moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to proceed with negotiation of contract as outlined. Motion carried. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to approve Item 1 of the Committee report. Rollcall vote, All councilmen present voting aye, motion carried. 2 2. Kendall Ford Location, Country Club Road - Walter DeMartini requested the Lane County Commissioners for rehearing on Kendall Ford's petition to rezone property lying west of Coburg Road between Country Club Road and Delta Highway to allow location of an automobile dealership. Jess Hill, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, asked the City to indicate its position with regard to rezoning the property in ques- tion since it lies adjacent to the City limits. The Eugene Planning Commission has reaffirmed its position that the Interim Plan for the Wi11akenzie area, which ex- cludes commercial use for properties on both sides of Country Club Road adjacent to the Chase property, is still valid. Mr. DeMartini said the County Commissioners have expressed approval of the rezoning, but would not act without the City Council's approval because they feel the property will inevitably be annexed. He said he felt the City was denying the rezoning with- out having heard a thorough presentation from Kendall Ford, and asked for a joint meeting of the Council and County Commissioners. He also said he would withdraw the legal action pending against the County in the previous rezoning denial and would .~eed a part of the property for park purposes. The City Attorney expressed the opinion that should the litigation be withdrawn, and if the County Commissioners ask the City for an opinion with the understanding they asked because they would proceed with rezoning, and if a statement of intent was made to annex at some point, then it would be appropriate for the City to participate in consideration of a new rezoning petition. 6/10/68 - 12 ~
