<br />-- <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />that Eugene support Plan B with the formulation of a strong regional com- <br />mission as the financing authority. There was no second. <br /> <br />Councilman Keller agreed there would have to be one jurisdiction to be re- <br />sponsible for regional operation. He thought the idea of One plant versus <br />two plants became secondary when one considered the problems that would have <br />to be resolved in achievjlg regional operation. He emphasized that it was <br />a regional problem. <br /> <br />Mayor Anderson could see no reason to belabor the point of whether there <br />should be one or two plants He suggested that Eugene prepare its own <br />resolution si'miiar to Springfield's and direct it to them indicating that <br />although Eugene favors the one-plant idea, in view of Springfield's objections <br />Eugene at this point would support the plan recommended by CH2M-Hill - retain- <br />ing plants in both Eugene and Springfield.' Also, that Eugene would endorse <br />the formulation of a Sewer Advisory Commission to achieve planning goals <br />leading to the establishment of a permanent regional commission. He thought <br />that would convey to SpringField the idea that unless there was created some <br />kind of regional authority, Eugene would not be interested. Mr. Anderson <br />thought there was cl certain amount of sentiment in Springfield for a permanent <br />commission and if that was accomplished, other problems could then be resolved. <br /> <br />Councilwoman Beal thought preparation of such a resolution that both cities' <br />could sign was an excellent idea. She recognized the futility of trying to <br />resolve the one-plant/two-plant idea. Councilman Keller suggested inclusion <br />of Lane County in the resolution. <br /> <br />Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Keller that a resolution in line <br />with the Mayor's suggestion be prepared for presentation to the <br />Council at its April 14 meeting. <br /> <br />Councilman Bradley thought such a step would be compromising Eugene's position <br />too far, although he agreed that Eugene should go on record supporting a <br />regional commission. He thought there w"'s too much at stake to have Spring- <br />field uni1at'era1ly dictate what should be Eugene's judgment. Also, that <br />it was premature at this step to anticipate what would happen and concede <br />to the two-plant idea. Perhaps Springfield in Advisory Commission meet- <br />ings would reconsider and support the one-plant idea. Assistant Manager <br />said that in conversations he had with both elected and appointed officials <br />in Springfield, it appeared unlikely that city would accept the idea of <br />abandoning its treatment plant. Councilman Keller noted that formation <br />of 'a regional system had bean in process for about two years with th~ <br />idea it would work itself out, but that has not been the case. He thought <br />it should be realized the one-plant system "just was not going to happen." <br />The suggested resolution', he said, was giving Springfield an alternative, <br />recognizing the time element in gaining Federal funds, to determine whether <br />they would like to do something about a regional system. He said some common <br />ground had to be found. <br /> <br />Councilman Hamel said the fact should be recognized that Springfield was <br />going to have its own treatment plant. He agreed with the motion on the <br />floor and called for the question. <br /> <br />Mayor Anderson thought the language of the resolution might be developed <br />in a manner to mare strongly emphasize the one-plant idea. Assistant <br />Manager pointed out that a hard line negotiating stance could be "slipped <br />into," but that would not be characteristic of past relationships between <br />the metropolitan agencies. Past negotiations have been very open and the <br />agencies have operated on the assumption that trading of opinions would <br /> <br />\8' <br /> <br />4/14/75 - 29 <br />
