e e e At Mr. Boles's request, Mr. Gary confirmed that it is possible to form a local improvement district prior to the amendment of the Metro Plan, and it would become effective upon approval of that amendment. Responding to a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Smith said he was unaware of any cases in which the DEQ has gone to court to enjoin individual property owners. Several other enforcement options are available and have been successful in obtaining action. Res. No. 4180--A resolution initiating and ordering establishment of a local improvement district for sanitary sewers in River Road for Basin "A" (Project No. 2514), Basin "B" (Project No. 2515), and Basin "C" (Project No. 2516). Res. No. 4181--A resolution initiating and ordering establishment of a local improvement district for sanitary sewers in River Road area for connection to existing sewers. Mr. Bennett moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to adopt the resolutions. Ms. Bascom commented that she was encouraged by staff's report that no foreclosures resulted in Multnomah County where project costs were higher than those for Eugene. She informed members of the public that the council had arrived at conclusions regarding the health hazard that differ from the opinions expressed during the public testimony. Ms. Ehrman emphasized that the formation of the improvement districts is intended to allow citizens to take advantage of programs to lower their costs. She expressed appreciation for the County's commitment of Road Fund money to the project. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 8:0. The meeting adjourned at 9 p.m. to May 30, 1990.
