ISSUE STATEMENT
This is an action item to ratify the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
BACKGROUND
As a matter of procedure, the City Council is routinely asked to ratify the actions taken by the
Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Committee. This is done by submitting the minutes of each
committee to the council.
Actions on which the committee is not unanimous are brought before the full council for consideration.
There was one action at the May 12, 2005, meeting on which the committee was not unanimous. The
action involved Senate Bill 1043.
There were three actions at the May 26, 2005, meeting on which the committee was not unanimous.
Those actions involved a grant approval request from Planning and Development regarding a 2005-2007
TGM Application for Code Audit, House Bill 3473, and Senate Bill 7lA.
RELATED CITY POLICIES

MINUTES
Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations
McNutt Room--City Hall
May 12, 2005
9 a.m.
PRESENT: Gary Pap6, Chair; Bonny Bettman, Betty Taylor, members; Mary Walston, Jason Heuser,
Lisa Klemp, Mary Feldman, City Manager's Office; Ellwood Cushman, Eugene Police De-
partment; Kurt Yeiter, Allen Lowe, Planning and Development Department; Eric Jones,
Tom Larson, Peter Ruffler, Public Works Department; Glenn Klein, City Attorney's Office.
1. Call to Order and Review Agenda
Mr. Pap6 called the May 12 meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations to order.
2. Approval of Minutes
Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to approve the minutes of April 25 and May
5, 2005.
Ms. Taylor asked that the last sentence in paragraph 4 on page 3 of the May 5 minutes be stricken, and
noted that the minutes indicated erroneously that she both moved and seconded the motion on page 5.
Ms. Bettman asked sentence 6 in paragraph 7 on page 2 of the May 5 minutes be revised to read ;;The
council had ;bought off' on the nodal concept as a policy approach but had not discussed and compared the
mixed use and nodal concepts..." She also asked that sentence 2 in paragraph 4 on page 3 be modified to
read ;;She reminded Ms. Taylor of her concern that her neighborhood could experience more unregulated
infill development."
The minutes were adopted as amended by a unanimous vote.
3. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Smart Growth Award
Mr. Yeiter and Mr. Lowe were present for the item.
Ms. Bettman asked staff to define ;;smart growth." Mr. Lowe said it was a nationally used term for a
development concept that embodied many or most of the concepts the City had in its Growth Management
Study in regard to mixed use development, compact urban growth, smaller lot housing, diverse housing
types, transportation-efficient development, and containment within an urban growth boundary.
Ms. Bettman asked if the audit to be funded by the award would determine if the City's code was at odds
with its growth management policies. Mr. Lowe said no. The award would bring in a group of specialists
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 1
who would assess Eugene's program in its entirety, including its policies, codes, and procedures for
approving development. Ms. Bettman said the results of the award sounded a lot like the audit discussed by
Mr. Yeiter the previous week. Mr. Lowe acknowledged some overlap between the award and that grant. He
added that over the past two years, most of the funding for the implementation of the City's growth
management policies was from grants. The award was another way to achieve the ~new tools" element of
the two-year work plan, which was intended to be an audit of the City's programs to determine if they were
the right fit for the City's policies.
Ms. Bettman asked where the specialists would look for barriers. Mr. Lowe cited as an example the City's
alley pavement standard, which was for seven inches of concrete. That standard stood in the way of the
construction of accessory units or any alley-access development. Many communities adopt a different
standard, and Eugene had not looked at alternatives that would lower the cost and facilitate development in
alleys.
Ms. Bettman said it appeared the effort would require the time of City staff. She did not support the award
application as it sounded like a redo of policy direction the City was in the process of trying to re-evaluate.
The process being proposed looked to her like it would be another process dominated by those who could
afford to participate, such as paid representatives from the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, as opposed
to ;;folks who are working for a living and trying to run a neighborhood organization." If the award was for
an audit of how the code affected neighborhood livability, safety, and property values, or how the City
policies contribute to sprawl as opposed to creating a ;;new urbanism" landscape, she would be supportive.
However, she believed the audit accelerated a policy direction the council had not discussed and which she
thought was going the wrong direction.
Mr. Yeiter noted the EPA award provided the City with an opportunity to have a national team inform it
about the available financial incentives for infill and redevelopment. Ms. Bettman said she was sorry the
City was in a place where it could not take advantage of that opportunity. She noted that the award dictated
a public process outside the council's purview. Until the council had given the Planning and Development
Department some specific policy direction about the direction it wished to take with removing obstacles to
infill and higher density in urban core neighborhoods, she could not support any such grant or award.
Ms. Taylor agreed with Ms. Bettman. She had been alarmed by the groups that were proposed to be
involved. She said the input of the Neighborhood Leaders Council did not carry the same weight as the
voice of the chamber, the homebuilders association, and the Lane Council of Governments. She said the
City had the ability to conduct such an audit without the award.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to reject the application.
Mr. Pap6 determined from Mr. Yeiter that staff saw nothing in the application that contravened current
council policy or was at odds with the City's Growth Management Study policies. Mr. Yeiter said staff
believed the award would help to implement those policies. The funding would be used to carry out the two-
year work program. Responding to a question from Mr. Pap6, Mr. Lowe indicated staff would welcome the
input of the council or the Planning Commission acting as the Citizen Involvement Committee in regard to
the participants in the process; the listed groups were samples of representative groups.
Mr. Pap6 noted his opposition to the motion as he believed the award was intended to help implement the
City's Growth Management Study policies.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 2
The motion passed, 2:1; Mr. Pap6 voting no.
The committee considered the transportation growth management (TGM) grant proposal held over from the
previous week.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to reject the TGM grant application to audit
the code to remove obstacles to density and mixed use. The motion passed, 2:1; Mr. Pap6
voting no.
4. Ballot Measure 37: Senate Bill 1037(-2)
Mr. Klein provided an overview of Senate Bill (SB) 1037(-2). He noted the bill was the initial draft of the
comprehensive rewrite of Ballot Measure 37. It was likely to be amended before being passed out of the
Senate Land Use and Environment Committee, and further amendments were likely to be offered in the
House of Representatives.
Mr. Klein said the bill distinguished and treated land differently if inside an urban growth boundary (UGB),
just outside a UGB, and outside a UGB. For land inside a UGB, Ballot Measure 37 claims go away
retroactively, except for claims related to residential development affected by Goal 5-type regulations. The
same exemptions currently in the code would still apply. To the extent the City's regulations were intended
to protect water quality, for example, they would continue to be exempt from claims.
Continuing, Mr. Klein said that for land just outside a UGB, the bill provides for the creation of an urban
fringe, which was a study area with a two-mile radius that cities over 5,000 in population could establish for
a period of up to nine months to give them an opportunity to determine what areas, within the two-mile
radius, it wished to study. A city did not have to conduct a study. After the nine month period, the study
area went away. Mr. Klein said no one could file a Ballot Measure 37 claim in the study area for the nine-
month period. After the council decided what area, if any, it wanted to study, any area it did not want to
study would be treated the same as rural land. Once the boundary of the study area was established, no
Ballot Measure 37 claims could be filed until 2015. The City would study the area to determine where it
wanted to expand the UGB. Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Klein clarified that the bill
did not require a jurisdiction to expand a UGB.
Mr. Klein indicated he could provide more information about the bill's impact on rural lands outside a UGB
if the committee desired.
Mr. Klein discussed who could file a Ballot Measure 37 claim, noting only property owners could file a
claim. Easement holders had no Ballot Measure 37 claims. Only one claim could be filed for any
regulations in existence as of the time the individual filed the claim. He said the bill spelled out the process
for filing a claim and the information that must be provided, which essentially mirrored the City's current
requirements. The bill also addressed the issue who received notice of such claims and established a
minimum period for public comment unless a jurisdiction decided to hold a public hearing. Mr. Klein said
the proceeding would be on the record; if the matter went to the courts, a judge would determine whether the
correct decision had been made.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 3
Mr. Klein discussed the issue of transferability, saying a Ballot Measure 37 waiver would be transferable
for a limited period of time. The waiver was valid for five years; if it was not used within five years, it
expired. The five years started when a jurisdiction determined a claim was valid. If the property owner
went through the development process using the waiver, what was constructed on the property was an
authorized use. The waiver could be transferred once, but there was no extension to the five-year waiver
period if transferred.
Mr. Klein said those wishing to file a retroactive claim would have 180 days to do so after the bill became
law. Those with proscriptive claims could do so based on new regulations adopted by the council.
Regulations related to public health and safety and regulations needed to meet federal requirements would be
exempted from Ballot Measure 37 claims. If the regulation did not fall into one of those exemption
categories, and there was a reduction in use or value, the property would be subject to a claim.
Ms. Taylor said it did not appear the council could make new regulations if the bill passed. Mr. Klein did
not think that was the case. He believed that claims would be tied to specific development proposals. If the
council adopted a new land use regulation, a property owner could not file a claim until he or she was ready
to develop a property. The council could then determine whether to waive the regulations or pay the claim.
If a claim was not filed within five years of the adoption of a regulation, the regulation was grandfathered.
Mr. Klein noted that statewide, less than 50 claims had been filed inside cities; more than 1,000 had been
filed with counties.
Ms. Bettman asked if there was any legal precedence in regard to the issue of transferability. She believed
the bill gave proponents of the measure a major concession. Mr. Klein agreed, and said the proponents were
willing to concede on other points for the sake of transferability. Ms. Bettman asked about the potential of a
court challenge. Mr. Klein indicated the courts needed an actual case on which to rule.
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Klein reiterated that claims other than Goal 5 claims
inside the urban growth boundary could not be made retroactively.
Mr. Pap6 asked about the potential of a compensation fund. Mr. Klein said the only dollars identified for
that use were the deferred taxes from properties subject to the State's farm and forest tax deferrals. A
property receiving a waiver was disqualified from the deferral, and the bill indicated that the owner must pay
back the back taxes to the date when the regulation was first imposed. If a regulation was imposed 30 years
ago, the property owner would be required to pay taxes for those 30 years. Mr. Klein said those dollars
would be directed to a compensation fund established by the counties and they would be distributed to
government entities in the same ratios as currently existed, but the dollars could only be used by cities and
counties for compensation claims. Schools could use the money for anything they wanted.
Ms. Bettman asked if legislature had considered capturing the difference between the value of a property
receiving a waiver and its assessed value as a source of funding for the compensation fund. Mr. Klein said
many concepts were discussed by negotiators, but he was unsure if that was discussed. Mr. Pap6 believed it
would be very difficult to such a calculation.
Ms. Bettman asked the major downsides of the bill outside of transferability, and the major upsides. Mr.
Klein said the bill was better than the existing measure. If the bill passed, fewer claims could be filed
against the City and the process was spelled out, which helped to avoid litigation. The City would not have
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 4
to pay attorney fees in the event a claim went to court. The bill applied the measure more narrowly to cities
than the measure. Mr. Klein said a downside the council would hear about was that of was one of concern
to 1,000 Friends of Oregon, the opening up farmland and forestland to development. He believed the impact
would be fairly minimal in the Willamette Valley as farmland was divided into different categories that took
high-quality farmland was off the table in regard to Ballot Measure 37 claims. The worst quality farmland
that might currently be zoned for exclusive farm use but could not be successfully farmed becomes non-
resource land and it could be divided if that division was consistent with Goal 14, related to urbanization.
Ms. Taylor expressed a concern about transferability. She asked Mr. Klein if he thought the City should
support the bill. Mr. Klein said yes.
Responding to a question from Mr. Heuser, Mr. Klein said the measure did not speak to what the cities did
with regard to the study area.
Ms. Bettman asked if there were further opportunities to amend the bill. Mr. Klein said yes, depending on
the nature of the amendments. Mr. Heuser indicated those involved in the discussions were not taking
suggestions from individual jurisdictions. The League of Cities was involved in the discussions.
Ms. Bettman suggested the committee monitor the bill rather than take a position on it given that the
individual jurisdictions had no opportunity to offer input.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to monitor the bill. The motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Klein anticipated a package of amendments would be ready the following week and the committee could
discuss them at the May 25 meeting. The committee rescheduled the time for the May 25 to 8 a.m.
6. Review Pending Legislation
Priority 1 Bills
HB 2343
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman about the status of House Bill (HB) 2343, Mr. Heuser said the
chair of the committee, Gordon Anderson, did not appear to be as open-minded about the bill as he had
previously thought. He wanted to see grassroots support from the business community regarding the bill,
which would raise the cap on the fee that could be charged to businesses for a right-to-know program. Mr.
Heuser had submitted three letters from various businesses such as Emerald Valley Kitchen but the chair
was not convinced the bill was desired by the local business community. Mr. Anderson had wanted to hear
from companies with 10 to 60 employees about their support for the bill, but Mr. Heuser had been unable to
get anyone from the business community to testify in support of the toxics bill.
Ms. Bettman determined from Mr. Heuser that the concept of trading the fee cap for a program cap had not
been successful.
Priority 2 Bills
MINUTES--Council Committee on INtergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 5
HB 2545A
Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to change the status of the bill from Neutral
to Support.
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Heuser said the bill had widespread support. It would
make public documents more open and accessible but not in a frivolous way that would require large
amounts of staff time.
The motion passed unanimously.
HB 2840A
Mr. Papd asked if the bill, regarding speeding in school zones, was an improvement over existing law. Mr.
Larson said yes. The bill created a reasonable driver expectation by establishing default speed zones for all
zones in the state from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout the state. Responding to a follow-up question from Mr.
Papd, Mr. Cushman said the bill appeared to limit the use of flashers to specific times, which he thought was
inadvertent and easily remedied.
HB 3220
The committee considered HB 3220, carried over from the previous week at the request of Mr. Papd. Mr.
Papd indicated opposition to the bill, which related to compensation for Ballot Measure 37 claims.
Ms. Bettman believed the bill was consistent with the City's ordinance, which indicated transferability
depended on the outcome of Ballot Measure 37. Mr. Papd interpreted the bill as prohibiting waivers from
being transferred.
Mr. Papd moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Heuser noted the bill had yet to receive a hearing.
SB 0429A
Responding to a question from Mr. Papd, Mr. Larson indicated the current law was better than the bill,
which would revise the statutes in relationship to a driver's responsibilities toward pedestrians.
HB 2157
Mr. Cushman said the bill, which was related to finger printing for non-criminal purposes, was introduced at
the behest of the Oregon State Police. He was unsure of the implications of the bill, noting there were
already regulations regarding the need for finger printing of those with access to public safety records. Mr.
Heuser believed the bill was intended to apply only to State agencies, although it may be amended to clarify
that.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 6
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Papd, moved to change the status of the bill to Monitor.
The motion passed unanimously.
HB 2199B
Ms. Bettman wanted to pull the bill, which removed oversight of the Vertical Housing Program Zone
Program from one State agency to another and broadened the definition of the program, as the legislative
liaison for the bill was not present. Mr. Heuser noted the bill passed by a margin of 58:0 in the House.
The committee agreed to hold the bill over to the next meeting.
HB 3159a
Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Papd, moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose.
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman regarding the bill, which would exempt certain licensed
contractors from product liability actions related to the use of asbestos, Mr. Svendsen said the City's
liability would be the same regardless.
The motion passed unanimously.
SB 0197
Ms. Bettman asked if write-in candidates have the same deadlines as other candidates. Ms. Feldman
indicated there was nothing specified in the law now. Ms. Bettman asked why the City would not support
the bill, which would prescribe deadlines for such individuals to file a form accepting the nomination or
office. Ms. Feldman indicated the requirements were triggered after an election. She did not recommend
opposing the bill, but suggested a status of monitor. Mr. Heuser noted support for the bill in the Senate,
which passed by a margin of 28:0.
SB 0566A
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Jones said the bill, which would exclude Highway 126 and
a portion of Highway 101, was specific to the two highways. He said that staff wanted to ensure that if
something occurred to increase the number of designated freight routes, Eugene would have the ability to
prevent that designation on roads traveling through the city's downtown.
SB 0641A
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Cushman indicated that dog fighting paraphernalia were
defined in the bill, which created the crime of possessing such paraphernalia. Such things as leashes were
not included.
SB 0796
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 7
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman about the potential of amending the bill to have more specificity
as to the timelines, Mr. Heuser indicated the bill was dead.
SB 0844A
Ms. Taylor expressed concern about the bill, which would increase the penalties to dog keepers with biting
dogs.
Ms. Taylor moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose.
The motion died for lack of a second.
SB 1043
Mr. Heuser indicated the bill, which would allow a county to distribute money from the federal Forest
Reserve to a school fund, had not received a hearing and was likely to be dead.
Ms. Bettman noted her support for the bill, which had the potential of increasing school funding.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Support.
The motion passed, 2:1; Mr. Pap6 voting no.
Mr. Pap6 explained he would prefer to leave the bill's status as Monitor and would have abstained from the
vote if possible.
SB 1048
Ms. Bettman questioned the benefit of the bill, which created a State advisory council to address homeless
issues. She said it appeared to dissolve some existing entities that do the same things proposed for the
council. Mr. Heuser indicated the bill had received a public hearing. He said the social service providers
and State representatives had indicated to him that a dialogue had been occurring about need for more
coordination and integration of services. Ms. Bettman questioned how the bill would impact the resources
the local agencies have available to fight homelessness. Would those funds be consolidated at the State
level, and would the bill reduce the City's ability to do the little it could locally in hopes the State would
manage the problem. She asked staff to check in with the local service providers regarding their position on
the bill.
Ms. Taylor agreed with Ms. Bettman, saying she was skeptical about creating a new bureaucracy.
The committee agreed to hold the bill over to the next meeting.
Mr. Pap6 briefly left the room.
Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to forward the committee's recommendations
to the council for adoption. The motion passed unanimously.
MINUTES--Council Committee on INtergovernmental Relations May 12, 2005 Page 8
Mr. Papd returned to the room.
Ms. Taylor left the meeting.
6. Senate Bill 301
Mr. Cushman called attention to a memorandum to the committee from Chief Bob Lehner regarding the bill
and discussed an amendment the City would like to see to SB 301 related to the elimination of a provision
calling for recorded verbatim testimony at grand jury proceedings and the public release of verbatim
transcripts. He suggested a report from the grand jury would provide the public with adequate information
about the rationale for its conclusion without the need to record the proceeding at some expense.
Mr. Heuser noted that the bill was driven by two incidents in Portland and the resulting public dissatisfac-
tion with the outcome. He indicated he would try to seek the amendment desired by the Eugene Police
Department but Portland legislators were under tremendous pressure to get the bill passed.
Mr. Heuser left the meeting.
Mr. Papd, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to change the status of the bill to Priority 2,
Support with amendments. The motion passed unanimously.
7. Salem Report
There was no report.

partment; Kurt Yeiter, Richie Weinman, Mike Sullivan, Denny Braud, Planning and Devel-

vices Department; Jerome Lidz, City Attorney's Office.
1. Call to Order and Review Agenda
Mr. Pap6 called the May 26 meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations to order.
There were no changes made to the agenda.
2. Approval of Minutes
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to approve the minutes of May 12, 2005.
The motion passed unanimously.
3. Grant Approval: Brownfields
Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Braud were present for the item.
Ms. Bettman determined from Mr. Sullivan that the private redeveloper, rather than the City, borrowed the
money needed for redevelopment. Ms. Bettman asked why the materials referred to the use of tax increment.
Mr. Sullivan responded that the Housing and Urban Development Department would look first to the
primary source of repayment, which was the project, but wanted to see a secondary source of repayment.
Tax increment could be one of those sources, but there were some legal issues related to that. Another
source could be the interest and principle payments to the Business Development Fund.
Ms. Bettman asked if the City was actually borrowing the money, or was the developer. Mr. Sullivan
clarified that the loans were made to private parties, and collateralized with real estate or personal
guarantees. Ms. Bettman asked if the City had ever had to repay such a loan. Mr. Sullivan did not know,
adding that the City had not participated in the program for some time. He said that cities take a variety of
different approaches to the secondary or tertiary collateral.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 1
Ms. Bettman determined from Mr. Sullivan that the projects in question would be reviewed by the council.
Responding to a question from Ms. Taylor about the use of the term "brownfield" for parcels in downtown,
Mr. Sullivan said that such parcels were frequently referred to in that manner because of the implication
there could be something under the ground.
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap~, Mr. Sullivan clarified that the money was not being sought for any
particular project; the City had a lack of such funding for downtown projects. He also pointed out the
money in question could be used for public improvements, such as parking garages, if the project met the
program criteria.
Ms. Bettman recalled there was a shared liability for brownfield clean-up with ORI, and asked if the money
in question could be used for that. Mr. Sullivan indicated the City would have to employ Brownfield
Economic Development Initiatives Fund in conjunction with Section 108 proceeds. The City would have to
conclude there was a need for 108 funds and BEDI funds in the same project. Mr. Braud added that ORI
had already gone through the due diligence process in regard to the purchase of the site and accepted the
property for environmental cleanliness and the consequent liability.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to approve the grant application. The mo-
tion passed unanimously.
4. Grant Approval: Historic Preservation
Mr. Yeiter reviewed the grant, which was for a historic preservation grant to continue education and an
estimated three property nominations for historic status in the River Road area.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to approve the grant application for historic
preservation. The motion passed unanimously.
5. Grant Approval: Transportation Growth Management (TGM) Application
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to deny the TGM grant application for
mixed use.
Ms. Bettman said that many terms in the grant application were undefined, such as "quality building design
standards." She said that the council attempted to include standards in the Land Use Code Update, and they
were rolled back. She said the City was in the process of rolling back the negligible design standards the
council had managed to include in the code. She perceived the grant application as facilitating the rollback
of those standards. She also questioned the definition of "small scale," saying the council had been unable
to reach agreement on that issue. Ms. Bettman noted the development of an alternative path was on the
council's post-LUCU program, but the term had yet to be defined and each councilor had a different view of
what it meant. She believed that hiring an auditor before the council examined the standards was premature.
Mr. Yeiter said he developed the grant with input from the Planning Commission. Staff had thought an
outside auditor might be useful in bringing in new ideas that helped overcome some development resistance
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 2
to smart growth concepts.
Mr. Pap6 opposed the motion. He determined from Mr. Yeiter that the firms proposed for the audit were
located in the Portland area. Mr. Yeiter said Angela Eaton had done some work for the City of Eugene.
Mr. Pap6 thought any kind of help would be useful. The result could be adding to the code. He indicated he
was likely to raise the issue at the council. Mr. Yeiter indicated a letter of the City's intent to seek the grant
must be prepared by June 15.
Ms. Bettman thought the $50,000 in question would be better used for identifying opportunities for density.
Mr. Yeiter regretted that was not the intent of the grant.
The motion passed, 2:1; Mr. Pap6 voting no.
Ms. Bettman asked that the committee consider the 2005-2007 TGM grant application submitted by the
City of Springfield. She acknowledged that the grant had been provided for the committee's information but
she believed that the committee should have been asked to take a position on the grant.
Ms. Klemp indicated the grant application would go forward with or without Eugene's participation.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to consider the Springfield grant application.
The motion passed unanimously.
Ms. Bettman referred to the Springfield council's Agenda Item Summary for the grant, which indicated the
amount of the grant was $150,000, with a twelve percent local match. Eugene was participating in the
match with staff time. She interpreted the grant as implementing direction from the Metropolitan Policy
Committee, ~which apparently" directed staff to make the TransPlan and Regional Transportation Plan one
plan after it had been turned into two plans. She maintained the council should have discussed the issue.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Pap~, moved to retroactively deny the application of the
City of Springfield grant on the basis of the process, the fact it did not come before the
CCIGR, the fact it did not come before the council, and based on the fact that the Metro-
politan Policy Committee (MPC) could not dictate changes to TransPlan without council
policy direction.
Mr. Pap~ asked if the committee's action would mean Springfield would have to provide the match. Mr.
Yeiter did not think the City of Springfield had already initiated an amendment to TransPlan, but that was
the eventual intent. The grant would allow TransPlan to be updated without any policy content changes in
response to new federal requirements that called for the establishment of a regional transportation plan that
had broader boundaries than TransPlan. The federal requirements in TransPlan had been supplanted by the
new federally mandated document. The plans would either be combined into one plan, or the federally
required components would be removed from TransPlan and made into a separate plan.
Mr. Pap~ asked if Eugene was submitting the grant application. Mr. Yeiter did not believe so. He believed
it was submitted by the City of Springfield.
Ms. Bettman believed that the grant application was made on behalf of the three jurisdictions that were party
to TransPlan in response to the actions of the MPC, which separated the two plans in December 2004 and
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 3
now wished to put them back together again. In addition, Ms. Bettman maintained that the MPC wanted to
remove the element of financial constraint; that was a policy direction.
Mr. Pap6 indicated he could not speak to the substance or merit of the grant but he agreed with Ms. Bettman
that the grant application should not have been able to go forward without the review of the committee.
The motion passed unanimously.
6. Review Pending Legislation
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap6, Mr. Heuser indicated that Senate Bill (SB) 1030, which was
related to the local franchise authority, had not had a hearing. The bill was not scheduled for action but he
believed the issue should still be followed closely.
Priority 2 Bills
HB 3474
Ms. Bettman believed that House Bill (HB) 3474, related to the regulation of the use of real property, would
not be improved with amendments and should be opposed outright. She asked if the bill would allow a
church to operate a casino. Mr. Lidz did not think so. He said the bill was broadly written and it was
difficult to know what was proposed. It would allow a church to be built in Skinner Butte Park, for
example, but he did not think that was what the bill's framers intended to accomplish.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose.
Mr. Pap6 asked how the bill would affect the federal National Guard Amory, and how the City would
control that. Mr. Lidz said the City would not control the site because it was federal property. Mr. Pap6
pointed out the armory was public property. Mr. Lidz said the State could not regulate federal property
either.
Mr. Heuser said the bill was introduced by well-meaning people who could not figure out how to craft such
a bill without inadvertent consequences. He said that multiple hearings had been held on the bill and many
amendments had been made. He said that even the chair of the committee considering the bill, an individual
who personally favored the bill, was tired of working on it.
The motion passed unanimously.
SB 007lA
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of SB 007 lA to Op-
pose.
Ms. Bettman objected to the bill on the basis that it indebted future generations for future transportation
projects. She believed its passage would be at the expense of schools and it would undermine education and
the State's ability to budget responsibly.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 4
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap~, Mr. Heuser confirmed the bill was introduced at the behest of the
governor. Mr. Heuser noted the broad bipartisan support for the bill, which would authorize the issuance of
lottery bonds for transportation projects, and said he would be asked how the bill affected the City of
Eugene. Ms. Bettman maintained that during each session, the legislature found a way to indebt future
generations for transportation projects. She believed that the last transportation bill had been a complete
%oondoggle" as it benefited the construction industry at the expense of schools and the Oregon Health Plan.
Mr. Heuser said that the school groups and social service groups were not opposed to the bill. Ms. Bettman
said that was because ;;they had not connected the dots" between the issues of transportation funding and
school funding. She opposed the concept of borrowing against future lottery revenue to build more roads.
She objected to the fact only ten percent was to be dedicated to alternative modes.
Mr. Jones indicated the bill was likely to change between the House and Senate.
Mr. Pap6 did not object to monitoring the bill for the time being.
Mr. Heuser questioned what impact the City's opposition to the bill would have in the absence of opposition
from the school and social service supporters. Ms. Bettman said that those entities were afraid to alienate
their legislators with their opposition. Such bills had considerable support among legislators, who wanted to
%ring home the pork." She said the bill was bad from many perspectives.
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap~, Mr. Jones indicated his belief that if the legislature was to do
anything in regard to transportation funding, the bill in question was the vehicle it would use to accomplish
that goal. Mr. Pap~ did not want to oppose the bill and preferred to attempt to get it amended.
The motion passed, 2:1; Mr. Pap~ voting no.
Priority 3 Bills
HB 2199B
The committee considered HB 2199B, related to vertical housing developments, held over from the previous
meeting.
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Weinman believed the cost of administering the program
would be negligible for the City since the application would be made to the State rather than to the City.
Ms. Bettman had no further questions about the bill.
HB 1048A
Mr. Weinman said the bill, related to the coordination of social service efforts, was not going to make any
further progress. It had not received a hearing. The committee indicated acceptance of the staff-
recommended position to support the bill.
HB 3310A
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 5
Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Yeiter indicated the bill, which proposed to modify the
provisions for periodic review, was intended to better codify the periodic review process.
Ms. Bettman moved to change the status of the bill to Support.
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap6, Mr. Lidz said the statutory requirement was that periodic review
would take place every ten years. Mr. Yeiter said given past experience, if the bill was passed the City's
periodic review tasks would not be completed before the next statutory requirement was triggered.
Ms. Taylor believed that requiring periodic review every seven years instead of every ten years was too
frequent.
The motion died for lack of a second.
HB 3312A
Ms. Taylor suggested the status of the bill be changed to oppose.
Ms. Taylor, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose.
The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Heuser indicated the bill, which would allow a governing body to contract with another entity to
conduct studies required by a permit application, was dead.
HB 3473
Ms. Bettman said the bill, which required a person applying for a driver's license to present a Social
Security Number or other documentation indicating the person was in the United States legally, required
more identification that was required now. She perceived the bill as discriminatory and was opposed to it.
However, she acknowledged she did not have the votes to change the staff recommendation to support the
bill.
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap6, Mr. Heuser said the federal legislation currently under considera-
tion in Congress would preclude states not in compliance from receiving federal highway funds. He believed
that the federal legislation related to the issue was likely to pass, and it precluded people from securing
licenses without citizenship. Mr. Heuser noted that the Oregon House had intended to amend the bill in
question to create a system based on the Utah model, which provided a ;;drive only" card for those not in the
country legally which could not be used for identification. However, given the fact of the federal legislation,
the House had decided to pass a version with a citizen requirement. It was possible the Senate would decide
to comply with the federal law now, rather than in 2007.
Mr. Cushman noted staff's interest in an amendment to Section 8 of the bill that related to the need for the
affected individual to pass a driver's test.
Mr. Pap6, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to support the bill with the amendment men-
tioned by Mr. Cushman. The motion passed, 2:1; Ms. Bettman voting no.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 6
HB 3476
Ms. Walston termed the bill a fallback to SB 1000, which was related to civil unions. She believed taking a
strong stand on the bill in question could erode the strong stand the committee previously took on SB 1000.
Ms. Taylor objected that it did not seem right to oppose the bill. Mr. Heuser recommended the committee
take a neutral position on the legislation and put the City's weight behind SB 1000.
Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Monitor,
with the intent of supporting the strongest bill possible. The motion passed unanimously.
SB 0412A
Responding to a question from Mr. Papd about the bill, which would establish a procedure by which a
special taxing district such as a school district may be excluded from participation in an urban renewal plan,
Ms. Cutsogeorge clarified that such districts could request to be removed from the district but the affected
cities must approve the request. The bill's stipulation that a change to the duration of a plan was a major
amendment to the plan was a change to existing law. Ms. Cutsogeorge did not see anything in the bill that
would harm the City. The committee made no changes to the staff recommendation to monitor the bill.
SB 0548A
Ms. Bettman asked if the bill, which modified the crime of interfering with a police officer, would apply to a
protestor who merely lied down; could that individual be charged with interfering with an officer? Mr.
Cushman said no, because there was an exception in the bill related to passive resistance. The committee
made no changes to the staff recommendation.
SB 0688A
Mr. Lidz termed the bill, which would authorize land owners to obtain vested rights to development
approval as part of a site-specific development plan, a ~do nothing" bill. It extended the permissible
duration for a City-approved development agreement from 7 to 15 years.
Ms. Bettman moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose.
Ms. Bettman thought 15 years was a long time, and regulations could change over that time.
Mr. Heuser indicated the bill passed unanimously in the Senate.
Responding to a question from Mr. Pap~, Mr. Yeiter indicated the bill did not stop a development plan from
being changed with the mutual consent of the developer and local jurisdiction, nor did it preclude the City
from entering into agreements of a shorter time frame.
Ms. Taylor seconded the motion.
Ms. Bettman asked why staff recommended the committee monitor the bill. Mr. Lidz indicated that was due
to the bill's broad relating clause.
MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 26, 2005 Page 7
Ms. Bettman withdrew her motion, saying she hoped Eugene continued to monitor the bill and if it passed,
would not seek longer timelines for such plans. Ms. Taylor withdrew her second.
The committee scheduled its next meeting for 9 a.m. on June 7, 2005, and a following meeting on June 23.

MEMORANDUM (541)682-5377
(541) 682-5572
www. ci.eugene.or, us
Date: May 25, 2005
To: Intergovernmental Relations Committee
c/o Lisa Klemp
From: Kurt Yeiter, Principal Planner
Subject: 2005-2007 TGM Application for Code Audit
Requested Action: Authorize application for Transportation Growth Management (TGM) services
related to Mixed Use Center Implementation - Code Audit.
Background: The City Council tabled its review of this grant request to allow time for IGR to review
more precise language about the grant request and the intent of the audit. TGM grants and services are
provided by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and the Department of
Transportation to help local agencies implement the transportation planning rule.
The proposed project is a "Land Use Code Audit" at an estimated value of $50,000. It will be funded
through the State's Code Assistance Program, a subcategory of the TGM program. A more detailed
description of the local expectations follows the program overview.
Code Assistance Services: "help communities modify their development ordinances,
comprehensive plans and development review procedures to allow and encourage smart
development patterns." The program's mission is to "maintain and enhance livability in our
communities by encouraging compact, pedestrian-, bicycle- and transit-friendly development...
The program seek; to broaden transportation options and improve development patterns through
the integration of land use and transportation planning."
Typical code changes that support the Smart Development concept; include:
· Well-connected, relatively narrow and continuous street; with shorter blocks,
sidewalk; and street trees;
· Pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation systems, on street; and within
development,';
· Public facilities inplace before development begins;
· Less off-street parking and more sharedparking and on-street parking;
· Mixed residential/commercial use zoning;
· Small-scale commercial uses within residential neighborhoods;
· Building orientation to the street;
· Quality building design standard,';
· Compatibility and transition between uses and zoning district,';
· Greater variety of allowed housing types; and
· Flexible development standard; and incentives for infill and redevelopment.
In the last five years, the TGM program has assisted the communities of:
Adams, Albany, Bend, Boardman, Brooking& Canby, Canyonville, Coburg, Cornelius,
Corvallis, Cottage Grove, Eugene, Fairview, Forest Grove, Gladstone, Gresham, Hood
River, Jefferson, Junction City, Lakeview, Lebanon, Lincoln City, Medford, Metolius,
Molalla, Monroe, Newberg, Newport, North Plains, Oakland, Oakridge, Ontario,
Medford, Prineville, Sandy, Springfield, Stanfield, Sutherlin, Talent, Tillamook, Fernonia
and Weston. (Source: TGM web site)
The Code Assistance program provides very specific help to advance these TGM objectives:
o Promote a transportation system or development pattern that results in a balanced, multi-modal
transportation system and that enhances opportunities for use of bicycles, walking, and transit in
areas planned for transit service;
o Preserve or enhance the "through movement" function of a state highway;
o Increase the convenience or availability of alternative modes of transportation;
o Provide alternatives to, or delay of the need for, a major transportation improvement;
o Provide alternatives to, or delay of the need for, expansion of an urban growth boundary.
(Source: Letter from TGM Program, May 6, 2005)
Code assistance through this program is provided through the services of two consulting firms retained by
the state: Siegel Planning Services and Angelo Eaton & Associates. The work will be done in two
phases: first, an initial assessment of the current comprehensive plan and land development regulations,
and, second, preparation of plan and code amendments for consideration of local decision makers. The
work is based primarily on "The Smart Development Handbook," a publication by the State of Oregon.
There is no obligation to adopt anything. Local governments need not provide cash or a local in-kind
match in this program.
The Local Assistance Requested. City staff view the Code Assistance program as complementary and
wholly compatible with the City's Growth Management Study and comprehensive plan policies. The
Growth Management Study policies would be presented to the consultants as equal to adopted
comprehensive plan policies.
The problem statement that we are trying to solve through this request could be summarized as: "Despite
many efforts at structuring land development regulations that will implement our Growth Management
policies and achieve smart growth, there is sometimes dissatisfaction with the results. The regulations are
sometimes viewed by the development community as unnecessarily burdensome for some examples of
desirable development, and the regulations do not guarantee that development meets the City's objectives
or are aesthetically pleasing. The City seeks an expert audit of its development requirements and expert
advice regarding alternative methods of implementing smart growth as framed by Eugene's Growth
Management policies."
Products will include an audit of the land use code and development requirements, list of 0perceived
shortcomings/unintended effects of the standards, recommendations for alternative standards, and, if
possible, draft code or standards suitable for adoption. The City would hope to receive recommendations
for an alternative development review process (a possible example the "alternate path" requested by
Council), other than the clear and objective one-size-fits-all regulatory approach now in place. The state
typically requires at least one public hearing or public forum with the Planning Commission before
services end.
Matching Funds: None required for this Code Assistance Service.
Timing: A letter of intent to proceed is requested by the state no later than June 15, 2005. The Code
Assistance work is performed on a first come first served basis until the available funds run out.

COMMENTS: THE COUNCIL'S FIRST-STATED LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY IS TO
"FUND K-12 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND CRITICAL STATE SERVICES
AND TO PRESERVE REVENUE SHARING WITH CITIES AND
COUNTIES." SB 1043 APPEARS TO SUPPORT THE FIRST PART OF
THAT PRIORITY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SECOND.
TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, THE NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER
SALES REVENUE DEDICATED TO ROADS FOR LANE COUNTY
ACCOUNTS FOR $19.8 MILLION OF THEIR $37.7 MILLION
BUDGETED CURRENT-YEAR ROAD FUND REVENUE FOR FY05--OR
NEARLY 53% OF THEIR ROAD FUNDING (NOT COUNTING ANY FUND
CARRYOVER FROM PRIOR YEARS). SO, THIS BILL WOULD
SUBJECT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE COUNTY'S
CURRENTLY-DEDICATED ROAD FUNDING TO DISCRETIONARY USE
FOR SCHOOLS--AND WE MIGHT EXPECT THAT THERE WOULD
PROBABLY BE SIGNIFICANT LOCAL PRESSURE TO DO SO.
ALMOST CERTAINLY ANYTHING DIVERTED FROM THE LC ROAD
FUND TO SCHOOLS WOULD COME OUT OF MONIES OTHERWISE
AVAILABLE TO LC CITIES (I.E., THROUGH REVENUE SHARING).
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE IGR STAFF GET THE SENSE OF
THE IGR COMMITTEE ON THIS ISSUE BUT THAT THE CITY TAKE
A MONITOR POSITION FOR NOW TO AVOID LOBBYING WHAT MAY
BE A VERY CONTENTIOUS ISSUE FOR LOC AND AOC. IF THE
BILL STARTS MOVING, STAFF COULD USE THE PRELIMINARY
DIRECTION FROM THE IGR COMMITTEE AS A STARTING PLACE
AND COME BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR A MORE ROBUST

COMMENTS: ENGROSSED BILL CONTAINS MAJOR CHANGES FROM BILL AS
INTRODUCED:
DEFINES LEVEL OF LOTTERY BONDING AT $100 MILLION (AS
ANTICIPATED);
ADDS CONCEPT OF "LOANS" AND SPECIFIES THAT 60% OF
PROCEEDS BE FOR "GRANTS" AND 40% FOR "LOANS";
ALLOWS "PRIVATE ENTITIES WITH ANNUAL OREGON REVENUES OF
LESS THAN $40 MILLION" TO RECEIVE GRANTS AND LOANS (AS
OPPOSED TO ONLY PUBLIC BODIES BEING ELIGIBLE;
REMOVES REQUIREMENTS THAT AT LEAST 10% OF PROCEEDS BE
USED FOR EACH ALLOWABLE MODE (AIR, MARINE, PUBLIC
TRANSIT, RAIL);
ADDS GEOGRAPHIC FUNDING REQUIREMENTS (15% TO EACH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT);
REMOVES REQUIREMENT THAT APPLICANTS MUST MATCH AT LEAST
20% OR SHOW HARDSHIP REASONS;
GIVES ADDED WEIGHT TO FREIGHT/SHIPPING BENEFITS;
RENAMES FUND AS "MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION FUND".
CHANGES THAT MAY DECREASE THE VALUE OF THIS LEGISLATION
FOR THE CITY OF EUGENE INCLUDE LIMITING GRANTS TO 60%
OF TOTAL AND ALLOWING PRIVATE ENTITIES TO COMPETE FOR
FUNDING.
ADDED WEIGHT FOR FREIGHT/SHIPPING WOULD SEEM TO
DIMINISH LIKELIHOOD THAT FUNDS WOULD FLOW TO PASSENGER
RAIL.
THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS ~LAY ADDRESS
CONCERNS THAT MOST OF THE MONEY WOULD WIND UP IN THE
PORTLAND METRO AREA. TO THE EXTENT THAT EUGENE COULD
DEVELOP/SUSTAIN GOOD WORKING PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER
PUBLIC AGENCIES AND PRIVATE ENTITIES, SOME CONCERNS
ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING TO IMPORTANT LOCAL
PROJECTS MAY BE MITIGATED.
A MONITOR POSITION INDICATES THAT EUGENE IS WILLING TO
CONSIDER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT FURTHER SOUND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND IS NOT POSITIONING ITSELF IN
OPPOSITION TO THE CONCEPT (I.E., THAT IF SOME VERSION
OF THIS LEGISLATION PASSES WE WOULD EXPECT TO WORK WITH
OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS TO ENSURE THAT A REASONABLE
PORTION OF THE FUNDS ARE SPENT WISELY IN THIS AREA).
