Ms. Solomon asked what other projects could not be done pending resolution of the inventory. Mr. <br />Bj0rklund said that outreach related to the implementation of protective regulations for Chinook <br />salmon in the Willamette River was pending resolution of the inventory. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon determined from Mr. Bj0rklund that staff could complete the safe harbor process <br />inside the year depending on the council's schedule. Mr. Bj0rklund reiterated that the Goal 5 rules <br />proscribe the protection measures that were adopted. If those did not match well with existing <br />City regulations, code amendments would be required, pushing the time line out further. Ms. <br />Solomon believed that going through the code amendments process seemed more achievable <br />than completing the standard inventory process. <br /> <br />Speaking to Mr. Kelly's comments, Ms. Nathanson indicated she had not made a decision about <br />whether a different approach was needed and intended to listen closely to the public's testimony. <br />She said that, with regard to Mr. Kelly's request that the City Manager comment to the council on <br />policy consistency, she did not think the council's unanimous vote represented a decision on the <br />approach to be taken but rather direction to the staff. It was the council's job to determine what to <br />do next. Based on that earlier direction and on new information, she thought it would be valuable <br />to consider a combined approach, and she wanted to hear more about it. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap8 said he would also like to hear more about the potential of using a combined approach. <br />He questioned again whether the Goal 5 ordinances must be in place before the City could <br />address the LUBA remands related to Goal 5. Ms. Childs again said yes. Mr. Pap8 shared the <br />concerns expressed by others about the impact of the inventory on the buildable lands inventory <br />and the UGB. <br /> <br />B.WORK SESSION: Stormwater Program <br /> <br />City Engineer Mark Schoening joined the council for the item. Public Works Department Director <br />Kurt Corey and Data Services Manager Fred McVey were also present for the item. Mr. <br />Schoening provided an update on the staff's review of the goals and policies in the City's <br />Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program (CSWMP) and their relationship to the City's <br />National Permit Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, discussed major program <br />elements and activities in CSWMP and their relationship to the NPDES permit, and outlined an <br />administrative process staff was going through to prepare for the fiscal year (FY) 2005 budget <br />process and a projected $2 million funding gap. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoening called the council's attention to the attachments in the agenda packet: Attachment <br />A, which was a summary of the CSWMP goals and policies and the implementation measures for <br />each policy, and Attachment B, a summary of the Stormwater Program by major program element. <br />Mr. Schoening reviewed the attachments. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoening discussed the proposed 50 cent rate increase in stormwater fees and provided an <br />update on the public outreach that occurred regarding the increase. He noted that a public <br />hearing on the administrative order was scheduled on June 13, 2003. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoening reported on recent program acquisition activity, reporting that seven sites totaling <br />33 acres and costing about $700,000 had been purchased to implement the stream corridor <br />acquisition effort. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 28, 2003 Page 6 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
