Goodpasture Island Road Floodplains Problem Mr. Obie stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Altucker regarding the floodplain problem on Goodpasture Island Road and he wonders if that may affect density plans.

Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. e . 8/13/80--2 Mayor Keller said some vacancies still remain; they will be recruiting and those recommendations will be brought back to council. Mr. Henry . noted that other appointments would have to be made in early September.' E. Meetings Mr. Henry stated that the Citizen Involvement Committee would be meeting on Thursday, August 14, at 11:30 a.m. at Perry's. The meeting on August 21 has been canceled. The Emergency Medical Services Task Force met yesterday and will meet again on Tuesday, August 26, at 1:30 p.m. F. Goal-Setting Session Mr. Henry stated that the council needs to decide if Don Murray should participate in this goal-setting session. In October, there are possibile dates for holding the session: October 10 and 11, and October 17 and 18. Mr. Delay questioned ending the session by noon on the 18th because of the football game. He has a problem with a firm deadline like that for ending the session. He would assume the format would be as it has been in the past. Mr. Henry suggested that the meeting could start , earlier on Friday. Mayor Keller suggested that perhaps they could begin Thursday evening and have all day Friday and until noon on Saturday. - Council consensus was that the goal-setting session would begin Thursday evening, October 16, and adjourn at noon on Saturday, Oct. 18 . Mr. Henry indicated they are investigating use of the University President's house as a facility. Mayor Keller stated that if anyone from the public has an available house or facility they should let him know. G. Information from Special Legislative Session Mr. Henry stated that the Lane County and Metropolitan Area boundary commissions have been funded for the remainder of this fiscal year on a 70-percent State--30-percent local share basis. Since one-third of the local contribution is to come from filing fees, Eugene1s voluntary contribution will be approximately the same amount committed earlier this year, just under $5,000. The June 30, 1981, sunset date remains in effect and due to lack of legislative support, a third boundary commission covering Marion and Polk counties and part of Yamhill County will be dissolved December 1, 1980. The House sustained the Governor's veto of the police-fire retirement increase bill which would have mandated additional cost to local governments. A veto override passed the Senate in regard to collective bargaining S8 58 but it was defeated in the House. The building moratoria bill, SB 890, was repassed by both the House and Senate. House Bill 2967, billboard compensation, was defeated in the Senate after passing the House. In regard to the State budget cut, any programs that provide - significant revenues to cities and property tax relief programs passed by the 1979 session will not be reduced. 8/13/80--3 Paget Engen, Legislative Lobbyist, stated that the City of Eugene did not lose much at all. However, it was an intense, painful situation for the legislators. . H. Report from Cliff Hague, Planner from Scotland Mr. Henry stated that Cliff Hague, planner from the University of Edinburgh, is finishing his exchange term with John Porter. He introduced Mr. Hague to give a report. Mr. Hague stated that he feels there are three valuable things he has 1 earned: the nature of land as a resource, control of development, and citizen involvement. There are many differences between Edinburgh and Eugene. The buildings in Eugene are much newer and the physical environment is very different. Both areas are involved with land use planning. The use of non-renewable resources in Eugene, along with low density, many parking lots, and air pollution are much different than in Edinburgh. The public transportation is not as good here. He suggests that Eugene has done as much as it can considering the scope of the land use planning and attitudes. He would suggest changes to higher density and better public transportation. He feels that Scotland could learn from Eugene's citizen involvement, and also in regard to bikeway development. He thanked the council and the Planning Department. Mayor Keller noted that he had enjoyed meeting Mr. Hague. Mr. Lieuallen asked how public transportation in Scotland is financed and perceived by the public. Mr. Hague stated that in the cities it e is financed by local taxes and in rural areas there is a national company. They have held their fares constant since 1976 because of previous experiences with raising fares and thereby losing ridership. II. ROUTINE ITEMS A.

Easement Vacation for Wilfred Jensen (EV 80-1) (map distributed) e Mr. Henry stated that this easement vacation is located east of Miramar and north of 53rd. He stated that Jerry Jacobson and Adrienne Lannom are present for answering questions. Public hearing was opened. There being no testimony presentedt public hearing was closed. CB 2184--Authorizing vacation of a seven-foot public utility easement located east of Miramar Streett north of 53rd Avenue. Ms. Smith movedt seconded by Mr. Lieuallent that the bill be read the second time by council bill number onlYt with unanimous consent of the council t and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. CB 2184 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Smith movedt seconded by Mr. Lieuallent that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote. All councilors present voting ayet the bill was passed and number 18692. B. Pedestrian Right-of-Way Vacation for Lloyd Lindley (PV 80-1) (map distributed) . Mr. Henry stated that this matter was denied by the Planning Commission e on May 12t 1980t with a 6:0 vote as well as being denied by the council in 1976. Mr. Jacobson and Ms. Lannom are available to answer questions. 8/13/80--5 Public hearing was opened. Speaking in favor: -- Lloyd Lindley, 3520 Bardell Avenue, stated that when the property was being developed, access was to be maintained to a proposed park. When the plan was approved, one lot was purchased and 30 feet were retained with the balance deeded to adjacent properties east and west. The requested vacation of the pedestrian way is not intended to eliminate access but exchange this access with an area owned by Northwest Pipeline. Northwest Pipeline has indicated they will allow the public to use a 30-foot strip of land which they own for access. He distrib- uted photos. The current location, due to a large tree in the path, is difficult for canoeists to bring their canoes down. Northwest Pipeline will maintain the right-of-way. If the access is retained at its current location, there is the problem of encroachment of private property and poor parking. There is currently a problem with maintaining this strip of land. The owners would like to improve their property and if they put up a fence, it would cause a IS-foot strip to be ma i nt a i n ed . Northwest Pipeline has approved the use of their property for a clear right-of-way and to provide better access for canoeists. There being'no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Henry asked if this information was presented to the Planning staff. Mr. Jacobson responded that Mr. Lindley was not at the Planning Commission meeting and they had received no written testimony. This is new information. Ms. Smith asked why the Planning Commission - - ---e -- denied the request. Ms. Lannom_ stated that because there was no additional information given, this seemed no different from the previous 1976 request. Mr. Lieuallen noted that since the Planning Commission did not have this information, he would be uncomfortable acting on it today but would like more staff research to see if this other access could be used. Ms. Miller asked if Northwest Pipeline has granted an easement to the City. Mr. Jacobson stated that there is not one as far as he knows and added that maintainenance of this area is still a problem. Mr. Obie stated that the Planning Commission did not have the informa- tion which the council has. If the council denied this request, he wondered when the applicant could make his case before the Planning Commission. Mr. Henry suggested sending_ this back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration rather than taking any action at this time. Mr. Obie stated that it either should be sent back or denied. Mr. Delay said that since this is new information, no action should be taken but it should be referred back to the Planning Commission. Ms. Schue noted agreement. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to refer this item back to the Planning Commission and to take no action on it today. e 8/13/80--6 Mr. Obie asked Mr. Lindley to take the additional information to the Planning Commission. Mayor Keller stated that they would notify Mr. e Lindley of the date and if he was out of town, the meeting could be reschedul ed. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. C. New Liquor License Outlet: Sizzler Family Steak House (restaurant); located 25 Silver Lane; applicant: Double S Foods, Thomas H. Schott Mr. Henry stated that this would be for wine and beer, and approval is recommended. Public hearing was opened. Thomas Schott stated that he is the applicant and could answer any questions. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to forward to OLCC with recommendation for approval, subject to conditions, if any. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. IV. REVIEW OF RIVER ROAD TABLOID (memo and additional information distributed) e Mr. Henry stated that this tabloid had been prepared to provide information on cost and service details relating to annexation if it would occur in the future. He introduced Pat Decker, Planning, to provide background information. Ms. Decker stated that this informational tabloid was prepared in response to a request from Lane County in order to provide information on services and costs associated with annexation. A survey conducted by the River Road/Santa Clara Task Force indicated that over 62 percent of the River Road residents expressed a desire for further information and stated they could not make a judgment on annexation without additional informa- tion. This draft has been reviewed by the Planning Commission, Citizen Involvement Committee, and other City departments, which has resulted in numerous revisions and corrections. Major Corrections/Revisions 1. Section II will be reorganized to more clearly relate the minimum level of urban services provided by the City to the thirteen highest priority service needs identified by River Road residents in the River Road/Santa Clara Community Needs Survey. For example, under the discussion of "Paved Streets" City policy will be more clearly stated on City-initiated street improvements. In response to area residents' e 8/13/80--7 concern about "high-speed traffic on neighborhood streets" and "lack of sidewalks," this subsection of the tabloid will refer to the City's recently adopted sidewalk policy. It will also summarize e traffic engineering, street maintenance, and traffic diverter programs. 2. A number of points need to be clarified concerning funding sources for sanitary sewers. For example, either city-wide or Metropolitan Wastewater Service District-wide bonds could be used to cover that portion of the major sewer trunk costs not picked up by the Federal government. A reference will also be added to this section on the sewer line from the house to the property line, a line which is paid for by the individual property owners and not covered by assessment or other funding sources. 3. Section III will be reorganized to include summary paragraphs explaining the information provided in each table. These summary paragraphs will precede each table. The tables will also be numbered for easier reference. In the table "Capital Costs for an Average Riv-er Road Homeowner" some figures have been revi sed. The cost estimate for the sewer line from the property line to the house is higher than that draft indicates, rising from $300 to $800. Because of this change and other corrections, the "Total Estimated Capital Cost~" for River Road residents would be $3,740, of which approximately $2,500 would be eligible for payment over ten years through Bancrofting. 4. Also in Section III, the table on "Estimated Change in Annual City Operating Costs" is generally considered to be too detailed. It will be simplified by separately listing annual operating costs for those - larger departments with direct public services including Library, Fire, Police, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works. The other annual operating costs will be combined. Other tables will remain largely unchanged. 5. The additional summary of paragraphs on costs and revenues in Section III should also refer to the estimated City revenue gap for capital costs and annual operating costs resulting from annextion of the River Road area. The likely sources of revenue to fill that gap could also be indicated, including city-wide bond issues, like that for the South Hills park acquisition program; increased property taxes; and increased revenues from the systems development tax, as new development occurs. 6. Finally, several revisions have been suggested for Section IV on the City's Perspective on Annexation, to include references to: the effect Eugene's future has on the River Road area in terms of its economic base, 'jobs, transportation network, and cultural and commer- cial services; the more specific provision of contractual services like fire, water, and electricity by the City of Eugene and EWEB, and the fact that River Road residents are not currently able to vote or otherwise easily affect the provision of those .services; and the range of programs for citizen involvement at both the city and neighborhood level allowing for the maintenance of a variety of neighborhoods and encouraging input from a number of points of view in formulating City policy. e 8/13/80--8 The recent article in the Eugene Register Guard quoting material from the draft River Road Tabloid contained a number of preliminary estimates e which have since been revised. It is unfortunate that these preliminary figures were released, but it is hoped that any misinformation will be corrected shortly by release of the tabloid itself. Ms. Miller stated that it is not clear to her how Section II will be reorganized but agrees that it is needed. Ms. Decker said this section would be introduced with the results of the survey followed by the list of minimum level of services. The problems discussed will be addressed in the context of minimum level of services. Ms. Miller stated that reference could be made to payment deferral options as well in Section III which deals with Bancrofting. Ms. Decker stated that that suggestion could be incorporated. Ms. Miller asked if the City requires that abandoned septic tanks be filled with gravel. Ms. Decker responded that that is a county-wide health requirement and would apply to the city. Ms. Miller suggested including the statement "the City enforces County policy" on this item. Mr. Lieuallen asked what the cost is to drain and fill a septic tank. Ms. Decker said it would cost about $300 which would be included in the capital cost section of the tabloid. Mr. Lieuallen asked if that would all be included in one complete section on the cost of hooking up sanitary sewers. Ms. Decker responded that that would be detailed in that section. Mr. Lieuallen asked if the only cost that would not be included would be the fixed "district-wide" costs. Ms. Decker responded that that is e correct. Ms. Miller asked if it is possible or advisable to include a discussion of the regional service district concept. She does not see a distinction between costs related to sewers and those which relate only to annexation. Ms. Decker stated that the approach in the tabloid was to identify costs associated with annexation, not to analyze other alternatives, but that that had been done by the River Road/Santa Clara Task Force. Mr. Gi lmam stated that the costs in the tabloid were taken from the River Road/Santa Clara Sewer Study done in 1970 by CH2M Hill and updated to 1980 with City costs added in. Cost estimates have not been prepared from the standpoint of development as a service district, but could be prepared if the council wanted them included. Ms. Miller indicated that she is not suggesting that the City necessarily include this cost, but she wants to know if anyone else has included this information elsewhere. Mr. Delay noted that the costs of annexation and sewers are different, and a distinction must be made between City service costs and capital costs for sewers. It is important to note that the question of sewers is different from annexation. Sewers will be necessary regardless of annexation; those costs will be incurred whether the area is annexed or not. This is not made clear in the tabloid. Mr. Lieuallen stated that there is a distinction but they are not really all that separable. He feels the City should prepare cost estimates of other proposals such as special service districts. He asked if the council will see the tabloid again after it is revised, before it goes to the public. Ms. Decker responded that they could if they so e chose. Mr. Lieuallen noted that any costs should be spelled out very c1early. A narrative preceding each table would be good. 8/13/80--9 - ~- -- Ms. Miller stated she does not feel the City should research the cost for a special service district. She stated agreement with Mr. Delay for e making certain that costs are clearly separated for sewer and annexation. Mr. Delay added that the tabloid need not include information on a single- service approach. The costs for sewering are there regardless of the annexation issue. Mayor Keller indicated agreement with Mr. Delay and Ms,. Miller, and stated that it is imperative to maintain the position of not supporting single-service districts. He stated that the City should provide its best proposal and let the County provide information on alternatives if they want. He expressed concern that the costs not be understated and suggested that they be declared 111980 estimates.1I Mr. Lieuallen stated that special service districts are not mentioned in the tabloid and he hoped they would be included, perhaps in the City's perspective section. Mayor Keller stated that he would like to see the revised draft before it is released to the news media. Ms. Schue expressed concern with page 11, paved streets, and stated that it is not clear who pays. Ms. Miller stated the section is clear if people are familiar with the jargon but might not be clear to the public. Ms. Miller asked how the figures on police protection were arrived at. Ms. Decker responded that these were population and Police Department estimates. Ms. Miller stated that it might be interesting to compare these figures with the current service level of the Sheriff's Department. Ms. Smith asked that this be brought back to the council again and coun- cilors let staff know of their concerns. Ms. Decker stated that they would develop another draft and bring it back to the council in early -- September. Mr. Obie stated that he feels councilor input should be given now rather than waiting until they receive another draft. v. PUBLIC HEARING: CITY MANAGER PROFILE (memo distributed) Mr. Henry stated that Greg Page, City Manager1s Office, has been working on this procedure. The council has selected a recruiting firm, Ralph Andersen and Associates, to actively recruit and initially screen applicants for the position. After tOday's meeting, the council will have a work session with the recruiting firm to develop a composite profile of the ideal manager. The deadline for receiving applications is October 8, 1980. Currently it is planned that by late October the recruiting firm will have screened the appl ications. In November, the council will review and evaluate applica- tions. By late November, the council will complete the necessary community and background checks, and interview five to six candidates. The pos ition will be offered to the final candidate in December. Mr. Henry noted that attached to the agenda is a City Manager job description. . . 8/13/80--10 . Public hearing was opened. e Tom Hoyt, .460 Palomino Drive, president of the Chamber 'of Commerce, stated that Mr. Henry has made substantial contributions to the City of Eugene. He said that even with disagreements, Mr. Henry has been open in discussing them. He thanked him for his work with the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hoyt stated that the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce feels that included in the profile should be the following: 1) outstanding administrative ability, 2) advanced degree in business administration or public affairs or related fields, 3) at least five years' experience as City Manager and eight to ten years' experience in City government, 4) an insatiable appetite for attending meetings, 5) good ability to work with staff, and 6) an ability to minimize red tape in dealing with the govern- ment. Mr. Hoyt stated that he hopes the new City Manager will continue to participate in the partnership between the Chamber of. Commerce and the local government in development and adoption of the Eugene Plan. They feel that new business and industry must be solicited to the area. The Chamber of Commerce would like to assist in greeting the candidates. Mr. Hoyt wished the Mayor and council good luck in finding an excellent new city manager. Julie Aspinwall-Lamberts, 3963 North Clary, president of the Eugene CommlSSlon on the Rlghts of Women, stated that the council should be commended in holding a public hearing on this item. She distributed copies of her statement. The Women's Commission has requested six items e based upon equal opportunity regulations and the municipal liability concept where municipalities are held liable for areas in the administra- tion of,Federal regulations. The Human Rights Council also feels that the new city manager must have a firm commitment to keeping Eugene in the forefront in Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity. It is essential that the city manager be knowledgeable of Federal regulations to determine the impact of the City's policies and obligations. Based on the three points (City Manager's AA/EEO responsibilities, municipal liability, changes in Federal regulations), they have requested the following: "That two items be specifically listed as minimal qualifications for the position of city manager: 1) demonstrated knowledge of and commitment to Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity regulations; and 2) demonstrated ability to work effectively with members of protected classes (e.g., women, minorities, disabled persons); "That all job vacancy notices clearly state these two minimal qualifi- cationS; "That the City continue its previous attempts to reach and attract qualified female candidates; . e 8/13/80--11 1 .' "That a person with a demonstrated knowledge of AA/EEO regul ations serve on the interview committee as a member of the Human Rights staff to ensure that the committee can accurately determine the appropriate- e ness of the candidates' responses to questions concerning AA/EEO imp 1 ement at i on; "That representatives of the protected classes be actively and directly involved throughout the entire process--from the paper-screening phase to the selection stage; "That, at the final decision stage, in addition to other qualifications, a candidate's membership in an underrepresented class (e.g., woman, minority, disabled person) be given special notice." Ms. Aspinwall~Lamberts thanked the council for the opportunity to speak. Members of the Eugene Commission on the Rights of Women are pleased to offer their services in this vital selection process. Tom Andersen, 790 West Broadway, chairperson of the Westside Neighborhood Quality Project, stated he is concerned about neighborhood groups' input and feels that candidates should have demonstrated a good track record of working with neighborhood groups. Sending out the questionnaires is important and the input should be taken into considera- t i on . Dan Anderson, 2522 Van Ness, stated that the new city manager should have the followlng qualities: I} an interest in public participation and involvement; 2) excellent organizational skills and orientation skills for monitoring the process of the budget; 3) skills to diffuse the bureacracy - are needed; 4) ability to deal with items in advance as much as possible rather than going from crisis to crisis; 5) emphasis should be placed on affirmative action and eroding sexual stratification; 6) motivation and leadership qualities; 7) efficient, effective leadership; 8) professional experience in other jurisdictions with an emphasis on the arts and recrea- tion as well as growth rate management; 9) public involvement in low- and medium-cost housing; and 10) substantial experience in intergovernmental relationships. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. VI. CONSIDERATION OF CONCEPTS FOR IMPLEMENTING 911 PROGRAM IN LANE COUNTY (memo and additional information distributed) Mr. Henry stated that the special meeting had been held this morning to discuss implementation of the 911 program. Ms. Schue was to have attended an L-COG board meeting on August 28 to review proposals and make a recom- mendation on the implementation of the decentral 911 telephone system. However, it was determined at this morning's meeting to place the issue on the February ballot rather than the November ballot so a decision will not need to be made at this time. The process will be for the L-COG board . 8/13/80--12 to review and recommend and then it will go to the County commissioners :,e who will place the funding mechanism, a one-percent telephone tax for the first year, on the ballot to be voted on county-wide. The process, if it is implemented, will be a simple one of dialing 911 for fire, police, and emergency services. Although it could take longer to implement in some areas because they would have to change the phone systems, in most areas it could be a reality by January 1, 1982. The target date now is for the February 18 election. The L-COG board will probably act on this issue on October 23. If recommended, it will be referred to the County Commis- sioners for action on December 15. Mr. Delay thanked those persons who came to testify on the city manager selection process. He noted that he has found it most helpful to hear different viewpoints and encourages citizens to talk with council members. The meeting was adjourned. A work session followed in the McNutt Room with Ralph Andersen regarding the city manager selection process. Respectfully submitted, ~ /~ Charles T. Henry City Manager ,_ (Recorded by Lynda Nelson) LN:kf/CM27al e 8/13/80--13
