e e e Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill, with 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 carried unanimously, 5:0. Council Bill 3037 was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Holmer moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19550). Ms. Wooten asked whether the refinement plan included bicycle lanes on East Main Street. Mr. Mitchell said that issue had been addressed by the City Council just prior to the refinement plan process, and studies by the State Highway Division temporarily had recommended against placing bike lanes on East Main. Ms. Wooten expressed regret and noted the danger of traveling from East Springfield to downtown. She said that was the only possible route because of all the dead-end streets to the north of East Main. Mr. Mitchell said the plan addressed bike lanes on Daisy Street, which should provide some help, and the Springfield Bike Committee was exploring other routes as well. II. PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT TO EUGENE WATER EXTENSION POLICY City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the item. Jim Croteau of the Planning Department presented the staff report. He reviewed the history of water extension policy since 1975. (He said Eugene Water & Electric Board in the early 1970s had been providing water service to a private water company that was providing water via its lines to property off Highway 58. : He said the City at that time also was developing policies with regard to the urban growth boundary to attempt to limit development to cities, and the City Council had felt it was imperative to limit water extension. Those policies had been adopted in 1975 and had been amended in 1977, he added. (Mr. Croteau said current policies allowed water extension only to existing development outide the City of Eugene and required the signing of an annexation agreement, while allowing no extension to new development. He said water extension now was provided to two facilities, Lane Community College and the airport.) A Metropolitan Plan amendment approved last fall would allow the proposed extension to a third site, the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Sludge Treatment Facility. Mr. Croteau said staff recommended approval of the resolution. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. The public offered no testimony, and the Mayor closed the public hearing. Res. No. 4085--A resolution amending Policy No. 2643, to allow extension of municipal water service to the MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 25, 1988 Page 2
