a. A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area in an orderly and eff cient manner. They consist of sanitary sewers, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and public schools on a district-wide basis din other words, not necessarily within walking distance of all students served}. Paved streets with adequate provision for stormwater runoff and pedestrian travel, meeting applicable local policies, are important, particularly in new developments and along existin ~, g streets heavily used by pedestrians. Metro Plan Policy #7, page II-B-4} "8. A full range of key urban facilities and services shall be provided to urban areas according to demonstrated need and budgetary priorities. They include, in addition to the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, urban public transit, natural as, . ... g storm drainage facilities, street lighting, librarres, local parks, local recreation facilities and services, and health services." Metro Plan Policy #8, page II-B-4} "16. Eugene and Springfield and their respective utility branches, Eugene Water and Electric Board and Springfield Utility Board, shall be the water and electrical service providers within the urban growth boundary." Metro Plan Policy # 16, page II-B-~ } Following adoption of the proposed Metro Plan text amendments, Springfield and Eu ene and their g respective utilities, EwEB and SUB, will engage in a process to transition service rovision in p Glenwood from Eugene to Springfield. This transition process will need to address servicin issues g related to the incorporated portions of Glenwood because these areas are now receivin munici al . g p services from Eugene. Intergovernmental agreements will be revised or developed to ensure service levels are maintained in incorporated areas during the transition. The proposed Metro Plan amendments will transfer from Eugene to Springfeld ultimate responsibility for providing services to Glenwood. The City of Eugene has made a major investment in Glenwood in expenditures for sanitary sewers and development of the Glenwood Ref nement Plan. An intergovernmental agreement between Eugene and Springf eld to reimburse Eu ene for g these costs will accompany the ordinance to amend the Metro Plan text; and the Cities of S rin field p g and Eugene will coordinate with Lane County to amend the separate Urban Transition Agreements 0n Streets and Roads to reflect the transfer of jurisdiction. The May 4, I998 Glenwood Jurisdictional Study identifies a number of issues related to the provision of services to Glenwood. The ordinance adapting these Metro Plan text amendments and the accompanying intergovernmental agreement will include actions to be taken to resolve issues associated with the transfer. These actions will ensure a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve Glenwood. This proposal does not change prof ect lists in the Eugene-Springfield Public Facilities Plan ~PFP}. 6
