Councilor Meisner noted that abandoned vehicles were not uncommon in his neighborhood. He commended the department for being very responsive. In response to a question from Councilor Meisner, Ms. Kronholm affirmed that the process would remain complaint-driven. She added, regarding a second question, that she was uncertain whether chronic violators who merely moved their vehicles a few feet would not continue to get away with this behavior. Councilor Meisner conveyed his support for the ordinance. Councilor Pap6 asked if the ordinance would help deter semi-truck parking in the Ferry Street Bridge area. Ms. Kronholm replied that she was uncertain whether it would provide such deterrence. Councilor Pap6 recommended that staff pay particular attention to Brewer Street in his ward as it was a popular place for semi-trucks to park overnight. Mayor Torrey asked if there was any objection to taking action at the present meeting. Councilors indicated that they had no objections. Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Poling, moved that the City Council adopt Council Bill 4878, an ordinance concerning the storage of vehicles. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. 4. ACTION: An Ordinance Amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Text, Chapter III, Section G, Public Facilities and Services Element, and Chapter V Glossary; Adopting a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date And An Ordinance Amending the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP) by Adding New Tables and Maps Identifying Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Conveyance Systems in Chapter II; Amending Chapter IV Wastewater System Condition Assessment and Adopting Table 16a; Adding a New Chapter VI Amendment to the PFSP; Adopting a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date (Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission, file MA 04-01) Mr. Taylor asked Principal Planner for the Planning and Development Department Kurt Yeiter to speak to the ordinances. Mr. Yeiter explained that the findings were the same for both ordinances because the Metro Plan and the Public Facilities Plan were intertwined. He noted that a memorandum from Greg Mott, Planning Director for the City of Springfield, collected and addressed the testimony given at the recent public. He said legal counsel for all three jurisdictions had collaborated and agreed the ordinances should be adopted. Mr. Yeiter reported that the City of Springfield had adopted the ordinances by a unanimous vote on July 19 and the Lane Board of County Commissioners was scheduled to vote on them later in the month.
