MINUTES Eugene City Council Regular Session City Council Chamber-City Ha11-777 Pearl Street April 8, 2002 8p.m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Bonny Bettman, David Kelly, Scott Meisner, Gary Rayor, Gary PapS, Pat Farr, Nancy Nathanson, Betty Taylor. Mayor James D. Torrey called the regular session of the City Council to order at 8 p.m. I.CEREMONIAL MATTERS Chief Tom Tallon reported that the City of Eugene and its Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department were being honored by the State Fire Marshal, who was giving the department a certificate of exemption from the State Fire Code. He said the exemption was being given because of the department's level of expertise in its fire prevention, public education, code enforcement, and fire cause determinations. Chief Tallon said the department consistently met and exceeded the State standards and therefore the State Fire Marshal was offering the exemption. State Fire Marshal Bob Garrison said the certificate spoke to the excellence of the programs provided by Chief Tallon and the women and men of Eugene Fire and Emergency Medical Services. He said the City was truly fortunate to have the high quality services that the department provided. He presented the certificate to Mayor Torrey. Mayor Torrey said it was the men and women of the department that made the City a secure place. He thanked Eugene's Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department for its excellent work. II.PUBLIC FORUM Steven Baldwin, 101 East Broadway, representing Eugene Business Owners, spoke against the smoking ordinance passed by the City Council the previous year. He said the ordinance was passed at the behest of a minority in the City and had proven to be a detriment to owners of bars and taverns in Eugene. He noted that smokers were not being cited for smoking in bars and taverns and owners were being held responsible for patrons' behavior. Mr. Baldwin said the smoking ordinance was complaint-driven and noted that all of the prosecuted complaints had come from people connected with Tobacco Free Lane County who selectively entered establishments and made complaints to City authorities. He said that bar owners were being fined for behavior that they could not enforce. He suggested holding bar owners blameless unless complaints were filed by their employees. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 1 Regular Session Mr. Baldwin said the State had recently passed a law prohibiting similar ordinances in counties and municipalities. He urged the council to adhere to the State law. Short O'Donnell, 295 Highway 99, said that Eugene's smoking ordinance had done significant harm to his business. He noted that the State law exempted bars, taverns, bingo halls, and bowling allies and urged the council to amend the ordinance to make it more in line with that law. Mr. O'Donnell noted that there were bars and taverns outside the city a small distance from Eugene that were still legally allowing smoking in their establishments and urged the council to create a level playing field for Eugene businesses. He noted that many cities had amended their smoking ordinances to follow the State law. He stressed that Eugene businesses were suffering significant losses from the local ordinance. Jaysun Smith, 3567 Alameda Street, said he had to quit his job as a direct result of loss of business from the implementation of the smoking ordinance. Patri¢ia L. McCall, 20 Centennial Loop, spoke as an owner of two bars, one in Eugene's city limits and one outside the city limits. She submitted written material showing losses at the Eugene establishment after the implementation of the smoking ban and the simultaneous increase in business in the establishment outside of the city. She also submitted photos taken at the same time showing the volume of customers in both places. She noted that the Eugene establishment had a much lower number of customers. Ms. McCall stressed that people were traveling outside of the city to be able to smoke and that Eugene's businesses were suffering as a result. She said Eugene's ordinance was not fair to Eugene businesses and urged the council to modify the ordinance to follow the State regulation more closely. Taunya DeBoer, 1670 Patterson Street, said she could not make enough money at the bar where she worked as a direct result of the smoking ordinance. She raised concern that customers were driving while intoxicated to get to bars where they could smoke. Will Kramer, 593 Sierra Street, raised concern that the council was unaware of the severe impact that the smoking ordinance had on Eugene's businesses. He said revenues were down all over the city and urged reconsideration of the ordinance. He said smokers were still smoking and going outside the city limits to do it or just smoking at home, which was worse. Cheryl L. McCabe, 362 North 42nd Street, Springfield, stated that there had been a huge economic impact to Eugene businesses since the implementation of the smoking ordinance. She noted that sales at her establishment had "crashed" and urged the council to revisit the issue and follow the State-enacted guidelines more closely. Cynthia Adeniji, PO Box 50061, Eugene, spoke as a bartender at a Eugene business. She said that her employer was losing business as a result of the smoking ordinance and she was finding it more and more difficult to make a living wage. She urged the council to revisit the issue and make needed changes. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 2 Regular Session Rick S. George, 1840 West 10th Avenue, said the business in his pub was down 40 percent. Bad business had forced him to lay off two employees. He stressed that the smoking ordinance had been devastating to his business and urged the council to change the ordinance by following state guidelines. Kimberly Fairbairn, 452 West 27th Place, raised concern over noise problems generated by people going outside of bars to smoke. Maco Stewart, 812 East 12th Avenue, stated his intention to run for a city council seat. He read a letter, addressed to Councilor Kelly, outlining a proposal to limit campaign spending to $2,000. Bob Cassidy, 1401 East 22nd Avenue, noted that the Citizen Charter Review Committee had spent a significant amount of time on the issues of campaign finance and conflict of interest. He said the most important aspect was the aspect of disclosure to the public. He stressed the importance letting the voters know, in plenty of time for them to make a decision, how much money was donated to a candidate. Bruce Miller, PC) Box 50968, Eugene, called for a replacement of the painting behind the council dias with maps showing the represented wards. He also urged the council to offer help to downtown businesses impacted by the construction during the reopening of Broadway. George Poling, 3177 Queens East Street, stated his intent to run for the council seat in Ward 4. He spoke in favor of constructing the West Eugene Parkway. David Hinkley, 1350 Lawrence, reported that Jefferson and Westside had merged into one neighborhood with a single neighborhood association. Councilor Fart called for a work session to discuss the impacts of the smoking ordinance. Councilor Rayor requested information regarding other municipalities that had changed their ordinances to follow State guidelines. III.CONSENT CALENDAR A.

In response to Councilor Taylor's question regarding the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority discussion in the tentative working agenda, Item B, City Manager Carlson said it had been added that day. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 4 Regular Session The remaining items on the Consent Calendar, including Item B, passed unanimously. Regarding Item C, Councilor Bettman said the resolution was being forwarded in order to pay for extra capacity in the water system and added that it would be an obligation of EWEB's rate payers. She opined that the groundwater backup system added capacity to the overall system and was therefore an SDC- eligible expenditure. She said the capital outlay should be paid for by systems development charge revenue and not by EWEB ratepayers. In response to a request for a legal opinion on the issue from Councilor Bettman, City Attorney Glenn Klein said he was not familiar enough with the well field issue to give an opinion that evening. He said he could come back with information. He noted that even if the groundwater project was SDC-eligible, that did not mean that EWEB had to use SDCs. Councilor Bettman said she would not vote in favor of the issuance of the bonds unless she had unequivocal legal advice that stated that the groundwater project was not a capacity-increasing project and therefore not eligible for SDC funds. Councilor Bettman, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to postpone the vote on Item C until more information could be gathered. Roll call vote' the vote resulted in a tie. Mayor Torrey cast a vote in opposition, and the final vote on the motion was 5:4 against the motion, with councilors Pap~, Taylor, Bettman, and Meisner voting in favor. Ms. Bettman raised concern over letting ratepayers shoulder a cost that could be borne by development. She stressed the importance of determining whether systems development charges could be used for the project. Councilor Rayor said the main purpose of the project was to provide a second water supply system to the City of Eugene. He said it was not a capacity enhancement project, and added that the well field was a back-up system that any prudent utility would want to provide in case something happened to the primary source. He said it was up to the EWEB commissioners to decide whether SDCs were to be used, and further noted that the water SDC was not under the jurisdiction of the City of Eugene. Jim ©rigliosso, Director of Financial Services for EWEB, said nothing in the ordinance precluded EWEB from using systems development charges. He noted that SDCs were included in the definition of revenues of the water system. He said EWEB had not made the decision to use SDCs yet for the reason cited by Councilor Rayor. He said there was extensive public record that characterized the groundwater project as a back-up water supply and not an extension or an increase to the capacity of the water system as a whole. In response to a question from Councilor Kelly regarding whether the City Charter gave the City jurisdiction over how EWEB should repay its bonds, Mr. Klein said the one piece of leverage that the council had was that if it found EWEB's method of repayment unacceptable, the council could vote against the issuance of the bonds. Other than that, he said it was up to the EWEB commissioners to run the utility, and it would not be appropriate for the council to pass the resolution and then try to direct the way EWEB repaid its bonds. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 5 Regular Session Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to approve Resolution 4712, authorizing the issuance and sale by the City of Eugene, acting by and through the Eugene Water & Electric Board, of water utility system revenue bonds in a principle amount not to exceed $11 million, and declaring official intent to reimburse expenditures. Councilor Bettman reiterated her opinion that the groundwater project was a capacity enhancing capital improvement that was eligible for SDCs. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 6:2; with councilors Bettman and Taylor voting in opposition. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to approve of 2002-03 Federal Community Development Block Grant, (CDBG), and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding allocations (Item D). Councilor Bettman noted that some of the money was allocated to a park and expressed her desire to see, in the future, allocations focused on Iow-income housing and getting Iow income residents into home ownership. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously. IV. PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION: AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGES; AMENDING SECTIONS 7.010, 7.705, 7.710, 7.715, 7.720, 7.725, 7,730, AND 7.735 OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971; A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGES METHODOLOGIES DOCUMENT AS REVISED; AND A RESOLUTION CONCERNING EXPENDITURE OF TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGE REIMBURSEMENT FEES Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. David Hinkley, 1350 Lawrence Street, spoke as a member of the Public Works Rates Advisory Committee. He said the item before the council represented 18 months of committee work and he urged the council to approve it. Jim Welch, 950 Killian Lane, Elmira, Oregon, spoke as a representative of the Eugene Association of Realtors. He said Oregon Revised Statute 223.309(1) required a capital improvement plan before figuring systems development charges. He said that only projects that qualified under ORS 223.309(1) could be used as a basis for calculating SDCs, and those needed to be identified in the plan with cost estimates and time schedules in order to qualify under the State statute. Mr. Welch said the City of Eugene should provide a valid methodology for figuring SDCs based on a capital improvement plan as required by State law. Mr. Klein noted that a letter submitted by the Lane County Homebuilders Association should also be considered part of the record. Mayor Torrey closed the public hearing. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 6 Regular Session Fred McVey, Engineering Data Services Manager, said that Mr. Welch's testimony, as well as the letter from the homebuilders association, tended to mix the two key elements of the SDC methodology; the rate-making element and the statutes that regulated how SDC revenues were expended. He said the requirement that cities have a project list and that SDCs were expended only on projects from that list was clear under ORS 223.309(1). He said what was not clear was that rates must be set only on that project list. He said the City of Eugene, since 1991, had a SDC methodology that did not use an adopted project list as a basis for calculating rates. He said the proposed methodology continued the practice in use for the previous ten years. Councilor Bettman reiterated that there had been a level of service rate process since 1991 and noted that Eugene's SDC rate was in the lowest one-third of comparable cities in the state. Councilor Fart said the letter from the homebuilders association raised enough questions for him that he did not want to take action on the item that evening. In response to a question from Councilor Pap~ regarding the legality of the evening's proposed action in light of the State statutes, Mr. Klein said the ordinance had been prepared with an understanding of the legislative changes in the last state session. He said the City Attorney's position was that the materials and the proposed ordinance before the council were lawful. In response to a question from Councilor Farr regarding the legal recourse available for those who would disagree with the ordinance if it was passed, Mr. Klein said the matter could be taken to the Circuit Court and a ruling that the ordinance violated State statutes requested. Councilor Farr raised concern over possible legal action if the ordinance were passed. He reiterated that he did not want to take action on the item until some of the questions from the letter submitted by the homebuilders association were addressed. Councilor Fart, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to table the discussion. Roll call vote; the motion failed, 5:3; councilors Fart, Rayor, and Pap~ voting in favor. Councilor Rayor noted that Eugene had lower systems development charges than other comparable cities. He called for a legal opinion of the homebuilders association letter, item-by- item. Councilor Kelly noted that representatives of both the homebuilders association and the Chamber of Commerce had been present through the entire committee process. Councilor Bettman noted there was access to City legal counsel through the entire committee process as well as input from the homebuilders association. She expressed her surprise at the letter submitted by the homebuilders association and opined that it was an attempt to forestall a slight increase in systems development charges. Councilor Meisner reiterated that the Public Works Rates Advisory Committee work had been carefully reviewed through the entire process. In response to a question from Councilor Fart regarding when the latest changes to the State statute were implemented, Mr. McVey said they were implemented on January 1, 2002. He MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 7 Regular Session added that the committee had been well aware of the changes to the State statute during the committee's final review process. In response to a question from Councilor Fart regarding certain dates that could be included in a tabling motion, City Manager Jim Carlson noted that action was usually taken during regular council sessions, the next being on May 8. He noted however, that, with Mayor Torrey's permission, the matter could be taken up for a vote at Budget Committee meeting that would occur before that time. City Manager Carlson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4784, an ordinance concerning system development charges; amending sections 7.010, 7.705, 7.710, 7.715, 7.720, 7.725, 7.730, and 7.735 of the Eugene Code, 1971. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read a second time by council bill number only and that enactment be considered at that time. Councilor Fart, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to amend the motion by postponing action on the item until the April 22, 2002, Budget Committee meeting. Roll call vote; the motion failed, 6:2; councilors Pap~ and Fart voting in favor. Roll call vote; the main motion passed unanimously. City Manager Carlson asked the council to consider council bill 4784 by number only. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to approve Resolution 4717 adopting the systems development charges methodologies document as revised. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Pap~, moved to approve Resolution 4718 concerning expenditure of transportation systems development charge reimbursement fees. Councilor Bettman said there was a $64 million backlog of maintenance and preservation needs on the City's arterial and collector street system and noted that this amount was accruing at an additional $3.5 million to $4 million dollars per year. She said the resolution protected the public's investment in the existing road system. She urged support for the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion passed, 7:1; Councilor Rayor voting in opposition. Councilor Meisner left the meeting at 9:40 p.m. V. PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION: Ordinances Responding to LUBA's Remand of the August 1, 2001 Eugene Land Use Code: MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 8 Regular Session A. An Ordinance Concerning Land Use Regulations; Re-adopting and Amending Portions of Ordinance No. 20224; Providing a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Data; and B. An Ordinance Concerning Land Use Regulations, Amending Sections 9.6730, 9.6820, and 9.8325 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Providing a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date; and C. An Ordinance Concerning Land Use Regulations, Amending Sections 9.8320, and 9.8440 of the Eugene Code, 1971; Providing a Severability Clause; and Providing an Effective Date Councilor Nathanson left the meeting at 9:45 p.m. Mayor Torrey opened the public hearing. Councilor Kelly noted that if the ordinances were passed, all of the tree protections in the old land use code would still be in effect. He stressed that there would be no less tree protection than there was on July 31, 2001. Emily Jerome submitted letters from David Hinkley, Al Johnson, and Bill Kloos into the record. City Manager Carlson noted that the public hearing would be for all three proposed ordinances. At the request of Councilor Bettman, Ms. Jerome noted that the evening's public hearing was not actually required under State law. She said the council was exceeding its legal requirements by opening the public hearing to parties other than those who participated in the LUBA appeal. Whitey Lueck, 2755 Potter Street, submitted a photo of Timber Village as an example of tree- friendly development. He said that type of development had been done once in Eugene and was done in many other communities. Nathaniel Sperry, 605 Howard Avenue, spoke as a hired consultant, a commercial arborist, and a concerned citizen. He stressed that the City Council's job was to work for the betterment of the community and added that the tree protections in the Land Use Code Update were superior to those that were previously in the code. Jonathon C. Brandt, 4660 West Hillside, President of the Eugene Tree Foundation, commented that citizens of Eugene loved their trees but noted that the City did not do a good job of protecting trees from developers. He said Eugene's tree protections were weak compared with other cities and that the older code provisions were not adequate to protect the City's trees. He cited south hills developments as an example of this lack of proper protection. He urged the council to make tree protection a top priority. John Kline, 693 West 10th Avenue, submitted written material into the record. He noted that there had been a shift in development in Eugene by wholesale removal of trees before beginning construction projects. Michael Duran, 1473 McKinley Court, expressed his support for strong tree protections in the City. He stressed that trees were central to Eugene's community heritage. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 9 Regular Session Jerry Oltion, 750 Brookside Drive, submitted written material into the record. He stressed the importance of protecting trees. Phillip Carroll, 1054 Van Buren Street, said the tree protections in the older version of the Eugene Code were not adequate for protecting trees from developers. He encouraged the council to retain as much of the LUCU tree protections as possible. Louise C. Wade, 573 Covey Lane, commented that trees were the essence of Eugene. She opined that developers were cutting down the trees that drew people to the city in the first place. She stressed that tree assessment should precede development plans and approval of those plans. Rob Zako, 1280 East 20th Avenue, spoke as one of the four citizens who filed to intervene on the appeal of LUCU to the Land Use Board of Appeals. He said that Eugene preferred growth accommodated in a way that protected parks and open space and the livability of the community. Tom Slocum, 1950 Graham Drive, urged the council to scrap the proposed ordinances and pay closer attention to State goals. David Hinkley, 1350 Lawrence, urged approval of Ordinance A as proposed by staff. Lauri Segal, 120 West Broadway, urged the council to take proactive steps toward putting Goal 5 tree protections in place. She called for a forum before the Eugene Planning Commission and an additional public hearing before the adoption of the ordinances. David Monk, 3720 Emerald Street, raised concern with the speed of the process. He commented that accommodating the homebuilders association and the Chamber of Commerce did not help establish appropriate tree protections. He stressed the importance of working towards the establishment of a Goal 5 inventory. Jim Welsh, representing the Eugene Association of Realtors, went on record supporting the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce and the Homebuilders Association. He said that addressing the concerns of the homebuilders association and the Chamber of Commerce would help to avoid a complex and unworkable code and future expensive litigation. He commented that overly complex and restrictive rules established an economic environment where growth was stifled and government revenue was in continual decline. Al Johnson, 2303 Southeast Grant Street, Portland Oregon, representing the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, submitted written material into the record. He said the chamber supported the general structure of the changes made by staff in addressing the LUBA remand. He stressed that the chamber wanted to work with the City in addressing the issues of the new code. Bill Kloos, PO Box 11906, spoke representing the Lane County Homebuilders Association. He submitted a letter containing specific comments on the proposed ordinances from the association. He urged the council to take the time necessary to make changes in the code update based on actual case studies. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 10 Regular Session Kevin Matthews, PO Box 1588, Eugene, submitted written material into the record. He commented that the Chamber of Commerce and the homebuilders association had met with City attorneys and staff since the remand of the Land Use Code Update. He raised concern, as a citizen intervener, that he had no notice of any meetings or received equal access to material. He said this was a mockery of public process. Mr. Matthews said the biggest potential problem with the proposed ordinances was that they created temporary loopholes in the code that would have permanent consequences. He raised concern over the gathering of a lawsuit culture in land use decisions being made in the City. Mayor Torrey urged the council to leave the record open for written material through April 19. Mayor Torrey closed the public hearing. Councilor Farr, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to keep the public record open for written material until April 19, 2002. Councilor Fart stressed the importance of allowing more time for public input. Councilor Rayor said he had too many unanswered questions before wanting to take action on the ordinances. Councilor Kelly raised concern that the postponement of action was an attempt to re-open all of the Land Use Code Update to debate and discussion. He said that for every day that passed, there was more development that was not in compliance with growth management policies adopted by the City. He stressed the importance of starting with re-adopting the parts of the Land Use Code Update that were not remanded back to the City. Councilor Bettman reiterated the need to reinstate the parts of LUCU that were not remanded back to the City. She commented that the homebuilders association and the Chamber of Commerce were trying to leverage provisions under threat of continuing legal action and trying to re-debate land use issues that were already settled. In response to a request for clarification of intended action from Councilor Pap~, Ms. Jerome said legal staff had meticulously gone through the Land Use Board of Appeals decision and responded to every single thing staff was instructed to do. Mayor Torrey raised concern over going through the process too fast. He said it was not in the best interest of the community to take action that evening. He noted that if action was taken that evening he would take the full 10 days allotted to him to consider whether to veto the ordinance. He said he would consider the veto, not because of the content of the ordinance, but because the community had not been given enough time to provide adequate input on the issue. He urged the council not to invite more legal action than was needed. Councilor Bettman reiterated her earlier statement that as much of LUCU as possible needed to be reinstated. She said the council could not capitulate over the threat of lawsuits. She said there was good sound legal advice and a process that would work that needed to be put in place. Councilor Farr said that his motion in no way opened up the entire code to debate but simply called for answers regarding the changes made at the request of the Land Use Board of Appeals. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 11 Regular Session Roll call vote: the vote on the motion was a 3:3 tie; Mayor Torrey cast a vote in favor of the motion, and it passed, 4:3; councilors Bettman, Kelly and Taylor voting in opposition. The written record was left open until April 19, 2002. The meeting adjourned at 11 p.m. (Recorded by Joe Sams) Respectfully submitted, James R. Carlson City Manager (Recorded by Joe Sams) MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 8, 2002 Page 12 Regular Session
