County Board of Commissioners ATTACHMENT A <br /> Lane _ <br /> Bill Dwyer <br /> Bobby Green, Sr. <br /> Faye Hills Stewart <br /> Anna Morrison May 10, 2005 <br /> Peter Sorenson <br /> <br /> Mayor Piercy Mayor Lieken and <br /> Eugene City Councilors Springfield City Councilors <br /> Eugene City Hall Springfield City Hall <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 Springfield, OR 97477 <br /> <br /> Subject: Proposed Metro Plan Amendment for Lane County Public Safety District <br /> <br /> Dear Mayors and Councilors, <br /> <br /> Today, the Board of County Commissioners deliberated and took action to modify the proposed <br /> Metro Plan, Growth Management, Policy 15.f. language to address the expressed concerns of <br /> Compression. This change to the proposed Ordinance No. PA 1221 will require the Board of <br /> Commissioners to conduct a 5th Reading before enacting the ordinance with revised language. <br /> We have scheduled our 5th Reading for June 1, 2005, and would be able to take final action at <br /> that time unless further changes are made. We hope this addresses most of the concerns with <br /> compression and Public Safety District formation sufficiently to reach consensus on the Metro <br /> Plan amendment. We hope to be able to continue working with all the cities on all the specific <br /> issues related to district formation. <br /> <br /> The revised Exhibit A to Ordinance No. PA 1221 showing language to be added to Metro Plan, <br /> Growth Management, Policy 15.f. would read as follows: <br /> <br /> f. Not withstanding the above provisions of this policy and all other related policies and text in <br /> this Plan, a district or zone of benefit may be created and maintained to provide preventive <br /> and reactive public safety services, including but not limited to, adult and youth corrections <br /> services, crime prevention, prosecution, detention, supervision, mental health and alcohol and <br /> drug services, victim services, drug court, interagency narcotics enforcement, patrol, <br /> investigation and arrest. The District shall pay for effects of full compression loss to <br /> taxing districts, not withstanding the loss as the result of urban renewal or enterprise <br /> zones. <br /> <br /> The Board made no changes regarding the alternatives addressing the specificity of the district or <br /> thc restrictiveness of thc list of public safety services because we believe the language is adequate <br /> as written to address those issues. If these issues are a concern to your city council, however, the <br /> Board wants you to know that we arc amenable to reasonable changes. <br /> <br /> We await further comment and the direction you can provide through your deliberations. Thank <br /> you for your considerations. <br /> <br />rely, <br /> <br /> Anna Morrison, Chair <br /> Lane County Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br /> H:LPS\Spec District\BCCLtronPSDMay 1 O_final.doc <br /> <br /> PUBLIC SERVICE BUILDING / 125 EAST 8TH AVENUE / EUGENE, OR 97401 / (541 ) 682-4203 / FAX (541 ) 682-4616 <br /> <br /> <br />
