. Mr. Obie wondered how staff arrived at the decision of horseshoe pits as a priority item rather than something else. Mr. Smith responded this was a five-year commitment and plan for Federal Government funding; there was a . commitment made on this program in the original proposal. As far as the priority, he said staff tried to stretch dollars as much as possible. He said any project connected to, or adjacent to, Willamette River or Skinner's Butte Park was popular. In the budgeting process, staff followed a priority list for programs and felt this was a priority item for this particular area of town. Mr. Obie then wondered if the decision was made for the horseshoe pits vs. tennis courts or some other recreational item because of pressure or long-range planning. Mr. Smith said this was part of long-range planning for that area. Assistant Manager noted the plan was part of the original agreement with the Federal Government, which required a design plan, and the staff was generally executing that plan at this time. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to accept low bids as recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously. VI1. LCOG Utban Runoff Water Pollution Request--Memo and request distributed Manager noted there had been a great deal of study and negotiation on this matter and noted, in the attached memo, the suggestion had been made that the City commit itself to $5,100 rather than the requested $15,048.40. He also noted the 208 staff had been contacted, and it was found that if Springfield did not cooperate with the program, it would not be executed. Mr. Allen noted Springfield had also decided not to e participate at the requested financial level, but had not decided on a figure. . Mr. Lieuallen reviewed for Council a publication recently distributed by LCOG in which information was given regarding industrial, commercial, and residential waste that ends up in the river when rainstorms occur and there is no treatment for the pollution. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to allocate $5,100 for the study. Motion carried unanimously. VIII. Improvement Petitions Res.
