Mayor Keller called the meeting to order and introduced Terry Smith. I. URBAN FACILITIES PLAN (draft River Road/Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan distributed) Mr. Smith showed the members the new draft of the River Road/Santa Clara Facili- ties Plan. He said it was the definitive study of the problem. They are now talking about issues in particular. People want a reasonable solution for Eugene and area residents. e Mr. Smith referred to the cover memorandum. He explained the history of the issue to the present. The Metro Area General Plan calls for a facilities plan for urban services to the River Road Area. Lane County is required by stipu- lated agreement between the County and the Department of Environmental Quality to develop a master sewer plan for the area. There is potential for a $7 million grant from EPA for construction of interceptor sewers to serve the area. The T-2000 Update is being done presently and could include this sewer in developing urban facilities. Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County set up a Joint Citizens Advisory Team, a Policy Committee, and a Joint Staff Team to make a recommendation. Mr. Smi th revi ewed the draft document and went through the handout call ed "Why an Urban Facilities Plan Now?" Mr. Teitzel showed three maps of proposed solutions to sewering River Road/Santa Clara. He recommended first sewering River Road. He noted Santa Clara drains to the northwest, and the treatment facility is in the southeast. Nine pumping stations will be needed. The main feeder to the area would hook onto the pressure line serving west Eugene. Mr. Teitzel explained the designing of the system, the use of computers to run the various alternative designs including the use of plastic or concrete pioe (there was a large savings in plastic), and the use of "value engineering". Staff estimated that by the process they used they saved several million dollars. Mr. Gleason added that the engineering was done "in-house" by the City Engineers. It is an excellent piece of staff work. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council Dinner Meeting March 12, 1984 Page 1
