<br /> . the Eugene-Springfield UGB it comes under the jurisdiction of the Lane County RCP. Likewise, <br /> once the line crosses the Coburg UGB it comes under the jurisdiction of the Coburn <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Neither of these two plans contemplated this proposed service delivery at <br /> any location, therefore both of these plans would require amendments to reflect this policy <br /> decision and the physical presence of the pipe. It .may also be necessary to specify in the RCP <br /> that this is an exclusive arrangement between the cities and county and no lateral connections <br /> between the two UGBs would be allowed. <br /> It is unclear if additional text amendments to the Metro Plan, the RCP or the Coburg <br /> Comprehensive Plan must address any of the following issues: <br /> • identifying Coburg as a customer or partner; <br /> • would Metro Plan public facilities policy need to address future development in Coburg <br /> related to Periodic Review, Plan amendment, or UGB expansion; <br /> • would the Coburg Comprehensive Plan rely on this arrangement to satisfy Goal l l and <br /> OAR 660-011 with respect to an acknowledged plan having adequate public facilities to <br /> accommodate planned development; <br /> • would Eugene, Springfield and Lane County elected officials need to approve <br /> amendments to the Coburg Comprehensive Plan by making corresponding amendments <br /> to the Metro Plan if circumstances in Coburg change over time; <br /> • would the Metro Plan need to include new policies that address unexpected impacts on <br /> the capacity of this service from development in Coburg, or could this matter be <br /> addressed in an IGA between the service provider(s) and the client; and, <br /> • to what extent are Goal 11 compliance questions satisfied by reliance on OAR 660-011- <br /> 0060 which addresses sewer extension outside of UGBs. <br /> Plan Amendment Procedural Requirements <br /> Amendments to the Metro Plan that would allow this particular proposal to be considered must <br /> be initiated by one of the three governing bodies of Eugene, Springfield or Lane County. <br /> "Only a governing body may initiate a refinement plan, functional plan, a special <br /> area study or Periodic Review or Metropolitan Plan Update." (Metro Plan, Policy <br /> #4c, page IV-2) <br /> Lane County and the City of Coburg would need to follow the rules of their respective <br /> comprehensive plans to determine how such amendments would be initiated in their jurisdiction. <br /> One of the requirements of OAR 660-011-0010 is to identify the service provider, require urban <br /> growth management agreements (IGAs) and identify the source of funding to construct the <br /> facilities. MWMC exists through an IGA and mutual cooperation among Lane County, <br /> Springfield and Eugene. These Governing Bodies select from their own memberships, and from <br /> the general citizenry of the. area, their representatives on the MWMC Commission. The MWMC <br /> Commission oversees planning, construction and operation of the facilities, and approval of the <br /> budget, capital improvements plans (CIPs), and user fees and charges. The three Governing <br /> Bodies ratify budgets, CIPs and significant long-range facilities plan updates. <br /> The Governing Bodies ofEugene and Springfield adopt and implement user rates and SDCs. The <br /> MWMC Commission would be the signatory on the OAR-required IGA with the City of Coburg. <br /> City Council page 448 Page 12 <br /> <br />
