<br /> I' line Park. Lane County Health Department was concerned about the high
<br /> II
<br /> ,I percentage of failing septic tanks and the questionable quality of the privately
<br /> I:
<br /> 1: owned water supply. Drainage from the area is into Amazon Creek, which
<br /> " affected residents of the city. When the Ansola-Parks annexation was before
<br /> jl the Boundary Comm~ssion it was felt it would be appropriate to expand it to
<br /> "
<br /> I
<br /> ,j include the entire 122 acres. Council has been requested to transmit its

<br /> I,
<br /> " A letter from the Alton Baker Park Advisory Committee was dis~_ributed to Counc~lmen. Because
<br /> Ii e
<br /> I; of problems due to fragmentati on of.' b~nership, >the cornmi ttee has;recommended th9-'f:: j;h~_cLty

<br /> I' deed its property in the proposed park area to the County, and as a condition of the trans-
<br /> Ii fer, that the advisory committee be officially constituted by the Board of County Commis=
<br /> " si oners . It was also suggested that there be official Eugene representation on the advisory
<br /> I:
<br /> I'
<br /> I: commi ttee, and that all major developmental decisions be reviewed by the commi ttee, wi th
<br /> II recommendations to be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners.

<br /> II Councilman Williams csked the legal impact on the condi tional use permi t granted by the
<br /> I' city to the County to permit operation of landfill on this land by the county.
<br /> " He was
<br /> "
<br /> "
<br /> ~ I, concerned that this might invalidate conditions imposed on use for the landfill purposes.
<br /> Ii City Manager said it was his unders tanding that the coridi ti onal use permit was granted
<br /> I: on the land, and that transfer of ownership would not affect that conditional use permit.
<br /> "
<br /> I:
<br /> Ii Councilman McDonald sgugested that, since this would be a deed transfer, these condi tions
<br /> "
<br /> I: could, be listed as part of the deed. This was felt to be a good suggestion.

<br /> I' the transfer was necessary to assume liability for development and to be in a position to

<br /> Ii Mayor Anderson 'pointed out that, in looking ahead, it was likely the County would assume
<br /> " responsibility for all regional parks, of whi ch Al ton Baker would be one.
<br /> !\
<br /> Mr. Robert Adair was concerned that the County might not have the same control over the
<br /> I;
<br /> landfill operation as the city would have if it retained ownership, and that this might
<br /> Ii be a detriment to the park. Mayor Anderson explained why the park was considered regional
<br /> and that it should be under county jurisdiction. !i
<br /> I
<br /> II Mr. Adair asked to submi t his name for consideration for appointment to the Advisory
<br /> Ii
<br /> Ii Commi ttee.

<br /> " that the county has more financial flexibility. He was sure they would be happy if

<br /> I,
<br /> 'I
<br /> I, parks within the area, if they were transferred to the County. He felt the city shou:1d

<br /> i: ......
<br /> II away property the city had invested a great deal of money in. He felt there should be some
