'D__ ....-.... ""l e b~8 6/28/71 l~ II II I 1\ II I, Trig Venich, 1992 Potter, had questions about water pollution from this site adjacent to II the river. He felt a study should be made, and that people should be able to get in on I' i, I, the planning when it directly affected them. II " :! The Mayor explained that planning is generally done in small groups and submitted to the :, " public body for public hearing. This has been done in this case. , The City Manager explained that the matter of water pollution had been discussed by the ,I q Planning Commission and provision made to guard against it. I I, Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. McDonald that the City Council accept the concept of the i' development of a sanitary landfill in the area described, and that the control system and standards for operation be developed through referral to the Eugene Planning Commission. ii :, Mrs. Beal thought it might be preferable to have negotiation done on a staff level and then brought directly to the Council. The City Manager; explained that it was his under- e standing that Mr. Mohr felt a staff proposal could more easily be amended at the Planning :; Commission level. I, Mr. Mohr commented that it was his feeling this would provide two more public hearings and !' " give people a better opportunity to appear. , II Mr. McDonald approved the suggestion, but felt the Planning Commission should be instructed I to give this matter top priortiy. i; Mr. Hershner was concerned that the County had not received approval from the Department of ,I Environmental Quality. The City Manager said he could see no reason why the City should " II not request that the County contact the Department of Environmental Quality to make sure they " Ii were not in conflict with that departments regulations. Ii 'I Mr. Bailey commented that the County had ta~ked informally with the Department of Environ- :! " " mental Quality, but they would have no objection to a requirement that the department give " 'i Ii approval to the site. They would certainly welcome further public hearings; but they would i! like an agreement .signed as soon as possible, since the site they are now using is long over- ; I: ,! due for discontinuance. :; , rI Mr. Teague asked if Mr. Mohr would amend his motion that the County seek approval from the " !I Department of Environmental Quality. Mr. Mohr explained his motion. The Mayor said he did not wish to reword Mr. Mohr's motion, but suggested deleting the , portion concerning approval of the concept and simply asking city staff to work with county 'i ! staff to prepare conditions to an agreement which might remove any Council objections. Mr. Mohr said if this would be a condition for support he would be glad to delete that " provision of his ordinance. He did not want to place the Planning Commission in a position I I of having to argue over acceptance or rejection. He would be glad to delete that portion if this would satisfy the Council. 1 - I Mr. Williams pointed out that all the Council was asking the Planning Commission was to develop rules. Whether the Council would sign the contract was another question. Mr. Mohr restated his motion that the Council refer to the Planning Commission the question ,i of development of standards and control procedures for the use of the sanitary landfill e operation on city property in Alton Baker Park, and that the administration develop an administrative brief. Mr. McDonald seconded the amendment. Mr. Teague commented that those conditions would give people an opportunity to go before the Planning Commission when the proposed rules and conditions were being prepared. Mrs. Beal requested that all residents who had appeared at this hearing be notified of the Planning Commission public hearing. The City Manager said the Planning Commission wouldpUb,lia~e the-"meeting and that people wishing to be notified of future meetings should calrthe managers office to request notification.
