Notes from City of Eugene/EWEB Meeting <br /> Skybridge Conf Room <br /> October 25, 2001 <br /> Attendees: <br /> City of Eugene: Jim Croteau (Planning), Kurt Corey (Public Works) Johnny Medlin <br /> (Parks), Reggie Augsburger (Fire), Fred McVey (Finance) and Michelle Cahill <br /> (Engineering) <br /> EWEB: Marty Douglass (Public Affairs), Deborrah Brewer (Governmental Affairs), Jay <br /> Bozievich (Water Engineering), Dick Helgeson (Director, Water Utility), Debbie <br /> Crampton (Electric Distribution), Rod Wade (Water Engineering) <br /> 1. Update on Existing Issues (Next steps or actions are shown in italics.) <br /> a. EWEB Hydraulic Model Update (Dick Helgeson) EWEB's Hydraulic Model <br /> evaluates fire flows and flags areas in EWEB's water system with low fire flows. The <br /> model has updated to include the new database, but we will need a new model for the <br /> reservoirs in the hills. Mel and Reggie will work on any future updates. This item is <br /> complete and will no longer be reported. <br /> b.. Willamette Water Company (Jim Croteau) The Willamette Water Company has <br /> applied to the Public Utility Commission (PUC) for "Exclusive Service Territory" in the <br /> area they serve (parts of the LCC Basin and down Mathews Road.) They have about 170 <br /> customers and buy their water from EWEB. The City of Eugene and EWEB have written <br /> letters rejecting their claims. This item is complete and will no longer be reported. For <br /> information on updates, contact Jim Croteau or Dick Helgeson. <br /> c. Telecom Hotel (Debbie Crampton) Debbie reported that this project did not <br /> materialize. This item is complete and will no longer be reported. <br /> d. Fire Flows on Thomason Lane (Reggie Augsburger) Child Care Center that has <br /> relocated in the River Road/Santa Clara area. The City of Eugene and EWEB worked <br /> with the Center to gain the appropriate funding. This was a good example of all groups <br /> working together. This item is complete and will no longer be reported. <br /> e. Reservoirs/Ridgeline Park Issues- (Johnnie Medlin) Issue: How can EWEB and <br /> the City work together to ensure that the goals of both the Ridgeline Park and future <br /> reservoir needs are met in the South Hills. In 2000, Jay Bozievich from EWEB has met <br /> with Andrea Riner and located future reservoir sites on a map. EWEB will need to locate <br /> a reservoir to serve Summit Terrace PUD and resolve how to complete Laurel Hill 850' <br /> reservoir to serve Son Blaze. Johnnie explained that we all learned from the Moom <br /> Mountain experience. Next Steps: We still need to get EWEB Water Dept, City Planning <br /> and City Parks together to resolve this. Johnnie and Deborrah will follow up to get <br /> <br /> Johnnie, Jerry, Steve, Jay and Deborrah together. <br /> f. Urban Reserve (Jim Croteau) Jim reported that new state laws makes it so urban <br /> reserves are no longer useful. Natural resource areas surrounding urban development will <br /> be protected. The City is focusing on developing 8 nodal areas. Next Steps: EWEB can <br /> <br /> monitor progress of the Natural Resource Zones because it is unlikely that these areas <br /> outside the City limits will develop. This item is complete and will no longer be reported. <br /> <br />
