DELTAP92 <br />Trimester Session Follow -Up <br />Memo Format <br />Item: Delta Ponds acquisition. <br />Council Direction from Trimester: Prepare a work plan to acquire Delta Ponds from Lane County. <br />Page 1 <br />Summary of Staff Response: Independent of the Council Goals, Lane County Executive, Bill Van Vactor <br />sent the City Manager a letter offering to discuss transfer of a portion of the Delta Ponds property to the <br />City. County property south of Goodpasture/Delta Highway interchange can be negotiated over the next <br />twelve months. Until capital project issues for the Goodpasture and Beltline/Delta intercli'anges are <br />resolved, Lane County is unable to proceed with any discussion of the portions of Delta Ponds in those <br />immediate areas. A response to the Lane County offer has been sent (see attached) that indicates the City's <br />interest in proceeding with a transfer of those portions of Delta Ponds not involved in future road projects. <br />Possible Alternatives: None <br />Staff Recommendation: Proceed with the transfer of portions of Delta Ponds. <br />Budget/resource impact: Forty hours staff time over the next year is estimated to be required to make the <br />transfer of those portions of Delta Ponds south of Goodpasture Drive. A master plan for the future <br />development of this resource as an open space /natural resource amenity is needed. Development of the <br />master plan could begin when disposition of the remainder of the Delta Ponds north of Goodpasture has <br />been decided. <br />Background/rationale: None. <br />
