ISSUE STATEMENT
Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 373.270 (b), the City Council will be requested to adopt an
ordinance initiating the transfer of jurisdiction of those portions of county roads within the city limits. A
public hearing is required prior to the adoption of an ordinance.
BACKGROUND
The City of Eugene and Lane County first entered into an Urban Transition Agreement (UTA) for
operational maintenance of roads within the City’s urban growth boundary on July 18, 1987. Since
1987, the UTA has been periodically reviewed and updated through Intergovernmental Agreements
(IGA). The most current IGA was signed in 2005. The purpose of the IGA is to increase efficiency in
the provision of road maintenance services by defining City and County road maintenance
responsibilities by logical geographic boundaries rather than jurisdictional boundaries. Each jurisdiction
maintains roughly the same number of miles of road, some within its jurisdictional boundary and some
outside its jurisdictional boundary. The IGA also addresses the transfer of jurisdiction of county roads
that have been annexed to the City. The IGA stipulates that the City will enact the necessary legislation
(See Attachment A – Proposed Ordinance and Exhibit A) to transfer jurisdiction of county roads
annexed by the City. The attached lists of roads have been annexed to the City of Eugene and improved
to urban standards.
If the ordinance requesting transfer is adopted, the Lane County Board of Commissioners will provide
the proper notice and hold a public hearing to take and consider testimony and objections from
interested persons before determining whether it is necessary, expedient or in the best interests of the
County to surrender jurisdiction of Lane County roads.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
The jurisdictional transfer of rights-of-way within annexed areas of the City is consistent with the
following principles identified in the Eugene-Springfield Metro Plan:
S:\CMO\2013 Council Agendas\M130408\S1304084.doc
The Metropolitan Plan is based on the premise that Eugene and Springfield, the two existing cities, are
the logical providers of services accommodating urban levels of development within the urban growth
boundary, and
To be meaningful, the Plan requires cooperation by all general purpose, special district, and special
function agencies in the community. This reflects its comprehensive nature encompassing physical land
use, social, and economic implications for the metropolitan area. Examples where cooperation are
essential include planning and implementation of a transportation system, development of a
metropolitan-wide energy plan, metropolitan-wide analysis and resolution of certain housing issues, and
planning for areas outside the urban growth boundary and within the Plan.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
1. Conduct public hearing and act on the ordinance.
2. Conduct public hearing and postpone action on the ordinance.
3. Provide other direction.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends that the council receive public testimony on the proposed ordinance
requesting jurisdictional transfer of county roads and consider action on the ordinance.
SUGGESTED MOTION
This is a public hearing. In the event no one testifies in opposition, the council may approve the
ordinance as provided.
I move to adopt Council Bill 5092, an ordinance requesting that jurisdiction over portions of
county road nos. 1043, 537, 2269, 2254, 540, 1421, 200, 1529, 131, 307, 388, and 531 be
transferred to the City of Eugene within a specified period of time.
