HomeMy WebLinkAbout04/19/1978 Meeting . e , ~ M I NUT E S EUGENE CITY COUNCIL April 19, 1978 Adjourned meeting from April 12, 1978, of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by His Honor Mayor Gus Keller April 19, 197B, at 11:30 a.m., King1sTable, Oakway Mall, with the following Councilors present: D. W. Hamel, Eric Haws, Jack Delay, Scott Lieuallen, and Betty Smith. Councilors Ray Bradley, Tom Williams, and Brian Obie were absent. I. Items from Mayor and Council A. Joint Meeting Re: T-2000 Plan--Assistant Manager noted a joint meeting among elected officials regarding areas of concern will be held Thursday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. A note reminding Council of the meeting will be sent out indicating location. B. League of Oregon Cities Regional Meeting--Eugene will be host for meeting to be held Tuesday, May 16 at the Eugene Hotel. Scheduled items include: From 1 to 4 p.m., concurrent workshops regarding finances, budgeting, City Council training sessions, and risk manage- ment. From 4 to 6 p.m. will be an open forum discussion followed by a no-host dinner with an update on Home Rule, annexation, task forces, and upcoming legislation. It was requested Councilors please notify Jerry Runyan in the City Managerls office of their intent to attend. . I II. Conflict of Interest--Memo distributed 4/17/78. Assistant Manager said Attorney recommendations for an ordinance to deal with definitions as explained in the memo were in order; also an ordinance should be considered by Council to deal with the disposal of surplus property. He said Council could look at prohibiting City Council or City employees from purchasing such surplus property from the City, but a concern was raised regarding methods to circumvent such a prohibition. It was recommended the best alternative might be to establish an open procedure. It was the consensus of Council that an ordinance dealing with definitions and open procedures for public sale of City surplus prop- erty be drafted by staff, with Council consideration at its May 3 meeting. III. Residency Requirements for Boards/Commissions--Ordinance distributed. Assistant Manager said the proposed ordinance provided that the Council should appoint or confirm only city residents to boards, commissions, or committees. Further, if during the term of appointment, that member 411' should cease to be a resident of the city, the position would be 4/19/78--1 2b5 automatically be vacated and Council would fill the position in the manner of original appointments. The Council, by majority vote, could waive the . residency requirement if there were no qualified resident of the city willing to serve. Mr. Delay pointed out the problem of not having a prOV1Slon for an appointed person to remain until a replacement is found. Mr. Haws expressed the . same concern, noting that perhaps a 60- or gO-day waiting period might be appropriate. Mayor Keller felt that in the best interest of the boards and commissions, that might be a logical approach. Ms. Smith noted the problem of qu6rum if members were not replaced for a period of time. Ms. Smith raised a question regarding the appointments required by Council under Section 2.013(6)(c) where it states Council appointments are ma~e by three Councilors appointed by the Mayor. Assistant Manager'said that codified a previously adopted optional procedure. Mayor Keller said it was merely one of three ways City Council could appoint although Council had never chosen to do so. Mr. Haws questioned the efficacy of automatic vacation of a position if the person were working on some special project for a committee. Ms. Joyce Benjamin, City Attorneyls office, said Council could waive residency requirements if it so wished. Mr. Haws replied his policy position would be that there never would be a case when no qualified resident could be found to serve. Mr. Delay felt if the rationale for setting residency for Council appoint- ments to committees and commissions was a good rationale, then it should ... be applied to all appointments, including those made by the mayor. ~ He said these are all City committees and he felt if it ~/ere a reasonable policy, then it should apply to all. Mayor Keller felt there was no conflict, noting this had always been a separate issue. He said there had been some cases where residency had been a problem, but his intent always had been to appoint those who are residents. He said if Council wished to include mayoral appointments, he would concur; however, he would like to look at the ordinance before Council took such action. Assistant Manager noted that there are some staff concerns in regard to certain mayoral perogatives, noting special instances wherein the mayor might wish to create a special committee to deal with certain special concerns, i.e., metro issues. He said Council may not want to bridle the mayor's ability to create a committee as an advisory body to the mayor. Mr. Lieuallen noted the Civic Center Commission as being an example of such appointment. Mr. Haws raised a question regarding terms of committee members with indefinite terms. He wondered Why those were indefinite and what it Meant. Assistant Manager noted those were directed to elected officials who are qualified to serve only while they are in office. It is indefi- nite because it cannot be determined how long a person would be in office. 4/19178--2 . ;Uc.G. . , - e - It was consensus of Council that the ordinance would be redrafted with the following changes: Termination of appointment if become nonresident as soon as qualified resident is designated; and policy statement that all boards and commissions of the City created by ordinance or resolution are residents unless waived expressly by Council. Council will consider the ordinance at its May 3 meeting. Sue Riemer, 1010 East 18th, noted appreciation for staff work on the issue. She said she and Ms. Edwards were responsible for this issue being on the agenda and wished they could have had opportunity for input in drawing up the proposal. She reiterated her feeling that all Eugene boards and commissions should be comprised of Eugene residents; and when a person moves, then that person should lose his term of office. She felt uneasy about the allowance of a waiv~r to find qualified persons. She simply wanted city residents on city boards and commissions. LaVerne Edwards, 1260 President, supported city residents as members of Eugene boards and commissions. She expressed surprise as she had not been consulted regarding the proposal and felt that this was entirely a staff recommendation. She noted, too, that it was through her efforts that this was an agenda item. She felt staff had too many times taken on the responsibility .that should belong to other people in the city. She said such actions hindered citizens from pursuing their interests in city government. She noted qualifications of a person were in the "eye of the beholder," that a quorum on a committee applied only to appointed members, and questioned the reappointment process of having one person serve for several terms of office. She felt perhaps there should be new input on committees and more residents should be allowed membership on various boards. She noted it was very difficultJif a citizen had a complaint, to contact a person who had moved out of town. Also, if that person was not a resident, she wondered how concerned he/she could be about Eugene. Ms. Edwards and Ms. Riemar will receive copies of the redrafted ordinance. IV. Authorizing City I~anager to Sign Consulting Contract with A.J. Parry Associates re: Airport Master Plan Update Agreement Assistant Manger noted that this was a slight departure from past City procedures in that the process of open bidding had not been followed because of the previous on-going relationship with this firm. Parry Associates have been working with the Airport since 1971 and have a great deal of background information which makes their competance invaluable, and also it is more economically feasible to use them. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to authorize the Manager to sign a consulting contract with A.J. Parry Associates re: Airport Master Plan Update Agreement. In response to a question from Mr. Haws, Assistant Manager said the firm was located in San Francisco. Bob Shelby, Airport Manager, said they had been retained in 1971 through a selection committee process, had been involved in negotiations with the Airport's feasibility studies, etc. He said there was no local firm available with the needed expertise 4/19/78--3 ~1 ; . Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. V. Amendment to Multiple-Unit Property Tax Exemption Ordinance Assistant Manager noted that this proposal had heen held over for a proposed modification of public benefits in lieu of the heating and cooling system. The applicant is proposing establishing a senior day- care facility to be available as a pUblic facility to meet the needs of seniors for 15 years. - Mr. Delay said he would propose an amendment to the ordinance to tie the public benefits to a period of time rather than to an organization. In effect, it would say that if Senior Lifeline, Inc. ceases to exist, another similar organization or its successor would be responsible for providing this benefit for 15 years. The purpose was to make sure the 15-year public benefit existed, regardless of circumstances. Mr. Lieuallen expressed appreciation for Mr. Tomlinson taking the time to come to the meeting. He also felt more comfortable with the procedure and thought this was the proper way in which to deal with the problem. Craig Tomlinson, Applicant, requested that the amendment be subject to the owner's approval, which would not be unreasonably withheld. He requested that he be a party to the approval since it was his building. Mr. Delay said this would not dictate any particular organization, but simply would provide that the public benefit exists for 15 years. He felt tha t i4r. Toml i nson had made a very fi rm commi tment and hi s amendment would assure that the commitment was made. CB 1645--Concerning the Craig Tomlinson application for multiple- unit property tax exemption: Repealing Ordinance No. 18U98; and approving application No. MEP 77-3 was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. - Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to amend the motion to include the words in Section 2(4): "...or if Senior Life Line, Inc. ceases to exist, to another nonprofit organization with a similar purpose...." Vote was taken on the amendment to the motion which passed unanimously, with Mr. Haws abstaining. Vote was taken on the main motion which carried unanimously, with Mr. Haws abstaini~g, and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. - 4/19/78--4 1'8 - Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All Councilors present voting aye, except Mr. Haws abstaining, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18163. VI. Authorization for changes in JHC and CDC Bylaws Re: Composition Assistant Manager noted this was a housekeeping change relating to a motion approved by Council in February. Council had failed to take action on an amendment regarding membership. CB 1661--Concerning membership on CDC and JHC; amending Sections 2.244 and 2.254 of the City Code 1971 was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. - Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All Councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18164. Res. No. 2881--Apptoving revised Bylaws for Community Development Committee was read by number and title. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. Res. No. 2882--Approving revised Bylaws for Joint Housing Committee was read by number and title. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. VII. Improvement Petitions Res. No. 2883--Authorizing initiating process for street paving, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer construction to serve Panorama View IV Subdivision (1520) was read by number and title only. l~r.

No. 2884--Authorizing initiating process for street paving on Hawkins Lane from Highland Oaks Boulevard to 250 feet south of 25th Avenue; and paving 25th Avenue from 500 feet west of Hawkins Lane to Hawkins Lane (1487) was read by number and title only. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Dela~ to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. 4/19/78--5 2-'ll VIII. Liquor License Applications A. Oakway Florist Inc. (PS), 16 East Oakway Mall (Wesley Armstrong), e New Outlet Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to forward with approval to OLCC. Motion carried unanimously. B. The Kiva (PS), 136 East 11th Avenue (George R. Brown), New Outlet. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by J~r. Delay, to forward with approval to OLCC subject to all construction permits and issuance of certificate of occupancy. Motion carried unanimously. IX. Approval of Minutes Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Delay, to approve Council minutes April 12, 1978. Rollcall vote. Motion carried unanimously. A short recess was taken. X. T-2000 Plan Assistant Manager said the TPC approved the request yesterday to modeling the Community Meet proposal, noting he felt the matter needed to be accurately described for clarification of Council. He said to properly put the Community Meet alternatives proposal on the the statels computer model, including the technical concepts, would possibly require a year of ~ staff time and effort. He also noted it was not known how much data will .., be available before Council is asked to make decisions. He said some information might be available in six- to eight-weeks time, but was uncertain as to how valuable that information might be. The model will make use of capacity estimates and cost estimates on configurations of the proposal that will incur substantial amounts of time. However, he assured Council there would be as much data back as soon as possible, but again reiterated he was not sure how valuable that data might be. Also, Assistant Manager noted TPC is perceived by some as being an agency that has something to win or lose whether or not the Community Meet proposal bears fruit. He said that was not the case. However, TPC does feel that they should remove themselves from the evaluation and have thus asked L-COG and OOOT to be the prime movers in analyzing the data in an attempt to keep the process valid. . Assistant Manager also noted that the process in which Council is involved does not occur very quickly, but he wanted to reassure Council it was very much involved in an on-going process. There will be an automatic annual review on the T-2000 Plan regarding such things as financing and policy of various projects. Mr. Delay expressed appreciation for staff taking that position, but noted a concern as to whether or not L-COG staff will not evaluate as readily or whether there would be a change. Assistant Manager assured - 4/19178--6 2.10 - Council he did not believe there would be a time change because of L-COG's understanding of the Councills high interest. Mr. Delay did not agree with TCP removing themselves from evaluation. He expressed another concern regarding the time lag, noting he felt Council should fully explore as much as possible the alternatives early in the process rather than waiting until the last minute when it is up against a time deadline. He wanted a process in which Council could get meaningful data early for evaluation and expressed confidence in TPC, noting he would like to see their results. Assistant Manager assured Mr. Delay that TPC will react to the data. Regarding Mr. Delay's concern of the time frame, he said that was the reason for reminding Council they were involved in an on-going process. Council will be looking at on-going problems that will be dealing with such things as air quality, modal splits, and financing of the projects. e Jim Farah, Planner, said the overall context in which the Plan was prepared was in the context of a given population of 277,000 by the year 2000. He said itls possible that population estimate will be reached before or after that year. Regarding the points raised at the public hearing held April 17, he said the overall land-use allocation for Transportation Plan, major development was assumed to occur in Goodpasture Island area. Second, he said, Eugene downtown area was considered to continue as a major employment center which was consistent with the Goals and Plans adopted by Council previously. It would also assume the continued residential development in the central area. Also, the major residential growth in the west and southwest areas of the city were targeted areas with the project intended to address that Qrowth. It was also imoortant for Council to note that little residential development in the River Road area was assumed because of the inability to develop sewers and the lack of land left for development. Further, the Plan is predicated on preventing service level E in traffic congestion, with the intent to plan for preventing that level. He noted the projects would be implemented on a case-by-case basis. Also, the Plan was attempting to reach a middle-ground focus based on the broad prespective of issues. James Bernhard, President, Planning Commission, reviewed for Council the Planning Commissionls consideration of the Plan. On March 22, formal recom- mendations had been submitted to Council after consideration of the Plan and the consideration of oral and written testimony. He said that recom- mendation provides for long-range direction for the transportation issue as it affects decisions relating to land use. - Mr. Bernhard reviewed the five basic elements in the Plan for Council. First, he said the policies had significant effect on the existing City Plans and Goals, noting there were many land-use conflicts. Thus, the Planning Commission was recommending the update of the 1990 Plan. The Planning Commission reviewed the policy in detail and felt there were significant values of the Plan. He noted some small changes in wording from negative to positive statements. The Planning Commission recognized the roadway capacity effects, and that becomes a key element of the Plan. He said also that the Planning Commission was recommending that any plan adopted needs a yearly update. 4/19/78--7 2..7/ . Regarding the Transit section, he noted it also affects land use and public freedom of choice. He cautioned Council this had to be continually monitored and updated. Reqarding the streets and highways, he said ~ the system provides the background for all modes of transit. There was ~ concern about service level E. He noted again the Planning Commissio~ recommended the continual updating as being very necessary. Also, recom- mendations included phasing of some projects, i.e., Ferry Street Bridge area. Regarding 6th and 7th avenues, he said the Planning Commission felt there was a need for very careful study and careful monitoring for future development. Study was given to the Lincoln-Charnelton couplet and it was felt that more exploration be studied of this recommendation. The 30-30 connector was felt to be a natural route if it is a limited service route. Of the noncorridor projects, it was recommended that modification respond to citizen concern, i.e., the Lorane Highway. It was suggested the corridor projects be studied regarding their effect on neighborhoods as well as the effects on the total city. Mr. Bernhard concluded, with the given parameters of the Plan, it should be used as a guide and not be a hard and fast plan. He felt that it should be implemented through public discussion and study as money is available to implement the Plan. He noted also that there were conflicts between the 1990 Plan and the Community Goals adopted by the City, and study would have to be done to balance out those conflicts. Mr. Hamel wondered if the Planning Commission had considered the Washington- Jefferson couplet. Mr. Bernhard said it was recommended that if at all possible, theWashinqton-Jefferson couplet be moved eastward. It was .. recognized as a problem and that there is a need for more study, adding .., that this was only the beginning. Ms. Smith wondered, in context of the Plan being referred to as a guideline and on-going process, what the process would be for Council. Assistant Manager said that staff has been involved in this Plan for many years, and will continue to be involved through the MATC Committee. Ms. Smith then wondered, in light of the recommendation to make modifica- tions in response to citizen concern, i.e., Lorane Highway, whether there would be other public hearings for those concerns to be expressed. Assistant Manager said the process depends on the funding. If Lorane Highway were to become an arterial, it would be approached as would any other arterial in the city with notice to the property owners, meetings, and public hearings before Council as to whether the project should proceed. He reassured Council that every part of the Plan will serve as a guide and direction as to priorities when money becomes available. Don Allen, Director of Public Works, said the main determining factor was the source of money involved. He noted federal regulations are very stringent and have procedures that the City must follow in order to obtain those funds. He said the city was the lowest form of government support on such projects, noti nq there was a very good system of checks and balances. . 4/19/78--8 - :l..12. tit Mr. Delay expressed concern about where the money would come from, and how the projects would be phased. He also questioned the deletion of No.5, having to do with possible toll systems, and requested an explanation as to whether or not the philosophy was against a users' charge. Mr. Bernhard said the intent of the Planning Commission was against a users' charge. Mr. Delay then wondered why a bike users' fee had been included. Mr. Bernhard said that suggestion was determined because it was felt there was a need for covered and locked areas for bicycles, with lighting and building of more bikeways. If bikes were to be used as a mode of travel, then they should be taxed as others are taxed. He reiterated that some recommendations coul d be .impl emented, whil e others may need to. be studied and changed. Ms. Smith wondered how much discussion at the Planning Commission level dealt with the transit goal and whether an attempt had been made to make comparisons with other cities in the country as to types of goals which could be achieved. Mr. Bernhard said the LTD people had been present at their work session and had said the transit ridership could not break even. Also he said, it was men- tioned the transit ridership split was somewhere between eight and nine percent. - Dave Rynerson, LTD, said in research he had done, the type of modal-split estimates that are available are not necessarily comparable. He cited the example of San Francisco as compared to the entire Bay Area. The most comparable figures were for Portland/Denver where they were experiencing in 1975 a three-percent ridership figure (Eugene-Springfield area is 2-1/2%). As for ridership comparisons in other countries, he said 14 percent was quite common in Canada, and the figure would be higher than that in Europe. He noted he was talking about transit only, as the percentage of total trips would not include paratransit ridership. Mr. Lieuallen requested Mr. Rynerson give some evaluation about the fea- sibility or likelihood of achieving a 15-percent level if the money were available. Mr. Rynerson said money would not be satisfactory in itself to achieve that level. Three other factors which were important to consider were: 1) Providing better bus service; 2) policies emphasizing increased density and attempts to coordinate land use and street planning with route planning; and 3) external influences beyond control of City Council such as the price of fuel, cost of autos and insurance, and national policies. Mr. Lieuallen requested a ball-park estimate of the money needed for vehicles and operating costs to fund a system that would carry 15 percent by the year 2000. Mr. Rynerson said the capital and operating costs for 1977 dollars were included in the materials distributed. - John Porter, Planning Director, said the percentage of transit rider~hip in western Canada has gone down as incomes have risen. He said a more comparable estimate would be the success of the Portland Tri-Met which has captured about three percent. Regarding the 15-percent goal, he felt it to be important for the city to be planning for that goal, as it would be achieved sooner or later. The community should be made aware of less reliance on automobiles. He also noted interesting statistics on the LTD ridership which indicate peaks and valleys. Mr. Haws left the meeting. 4/19/78 -- 9 273 ." Mayor Keller raised the question of. this being a metro plan and requested information as to how the plan will be implemented. He gave the example of the varying transit goals from five to 15 percent and how it would work. ~ Mayor Keller also asked how the financing is tied into the goal, how the . type of ridership would be generated, who would pay for it, and how. In answering a question from Ms. Smith regarding future public hearings~ Assistant City Manager said that was up to City Council discretion. The process is open and Council can hold pUblic debate on various issues as time allows. However, it was still hoped the June 29 deadline date would be met. Mayor Keller requested that Mr. Rynerson' document the figures regarding the transit goal which he had just discussed, and also a comment from Eugene's. Public Works Department. Don Allen explained his position as being one of not defending some por- tions of the plan because he could not defend them. He raised the ques- tion regarding the modal split and wondered if the transit goal could really be generated using the basic street networks. He said it would be impossible to implement the plan and reach the goals in the modal split if provisions of the Plan such as 6th and 7th avenues were removed. He said the road system cannot be thrown out and still keep the idealistic goals as proposed; he felt it was a no-build program. He felt projects like 30th & Hilyard woula be the type of projects best implemented ratber than large capital outlay projects. The program does not assign jurisdictional . responsibility as to Who js capable for financing. His desire was a orogram, that can be acceoted bY al I. .. ~ Mr. Lieuallen requested Mr. Rynerson's response as to whether he had to ..., have this program to operate at a 15-percent level. Mr. Rynerson said there was no doubt buses would be operating on the same streets with the rest of the traffic. He did not feel it to be a case of this plan as the only way to accomplish this goal, but rather it must be done in some cooperative manner. Regarding the 6th-7th freeway, Mr. Lieuallen wondered if it were necessary to build a freeway of eight lanes to achieve the modal split. Mr. Rynerson said the proposed plan allows for two bus lanes in each direction and he wondered where the space would come to put them, as they would need consi- derable width. He said it was necessary to provide additional capacity but perhaps not completely necessary to have a freeway. Mr. Delay expressed concern about the constant increase in costs for the entire network of roads, including special lanes for buses to go through traffic while others are held up. He questioned the use of reversible lanes. Jim Hanks, Traffic Engineer, explained how reversible lanes would work: traffic in the morning would have more lanes open toward the central area, with a reverse pattern in the evening. Two problems existed: 1) On most of the corridors there is a fairly even flow of traffic in both directions; 2) the primary problem is an accident problem with left turning lanes. He said most of the corridors in Eugene were the type of - 4/19/78--10 ~~ . - -- .. street requiring left-turn lanes. Also, if left-turn lanes were prohibited off of main corridors, it would increase traffic in the residential streets. Mr. Lieuallen felt there were a variety of ways to deal with situations that occur in Eugene and that these possible solutions should be pursued to alleviate the problems. Jim Hanks said the staff was committed to dealing with traffic management and was interested in arriving at solutions. Mr. Delay mentioned that the impact of vehicle movement was responsible for about 10 percent of the total of suspended-particulate problem in the area. He noted that item had become outdated, as the figure was 24 percent now and particulates would be an increasing problem. He felt this plan to be accommodating an increase in traffic and in pollution. He was frustrated that nothing significant was being done to change the transportation habits of the pollution contributors, but rather, this plan would accommodate growth based on the status quo. Mr. Porter said the Council has contributed significantly in a positive way; for example, in getting industry centrally located. He noted the cost of transportation was going up at a more rapid rate than anything else, and per- haps people will start choosing to live closer to their places of employment. In regard to air pollution, he said it appears the city will be in violation durinq certain interim periods as the standards were changed in the middle of the updating process. However, he noted staff was aware of that problem. Ollie Snowden said the air quality forecast regarding carbon monoxide is very imprecise. He said there is not complete agreement between all the agencies as to what process should be used. A study will be done in the next four months to determine how severe the problem is now. Several techniques can be used to forecast problems in the future. The major problem exists in that no one knows for sure which procedure is best. Mr. Delay said his concern regarding the particulate problem is that the area should be making a greater effort toward mass transit and cutting down on automobile use. This would reinforce the transit goal. He said there was a need to continue to make the area a viable community. Ann Ramp, Crest Drive Neighborhood Association, expressed concern that the public hearing .had been held April 17 at the same time the neighborhood leaders' organization met. It made it impossible for many of those who are most interested to express their concerns regarding the T-2000 Plan. Mayor noted that in earlier conversation, Council had assured the community there would be further chances for testifying and addressing their concerns before Council. Mr. Delay also noted that Council had received all of the notes and letters from the neighborhood organizations that expressed their concerns, sayinQ that Council was certainly aware of many of them. It was consensus of Council to hold another work session April 26. ~e, A. Kei th fv1arti n Assistant Manager seconded, and passed, the meeting was adjourned. DT:er/Ci'l\25a6 4/19178--11 2.75
