owners on Friday at 10:00, along with Mr. McClintock.

C. City Attorney: Mr.
Hammersley indicated he has been working with the attorney to remove the
debarment, and he would give the information to the Council for review in the

bid" process. Discussion
ensued. Councilor MacGregor moved

C.
Discussion Items From Infrastructure Committee:
1) Vacation of City Property (Range Drive Area):
Councilor Moore noted that this came to the attention of the Council as
a concern voiced by Mr. Campbell, the owner of Crestview Hills Golf Course.
The Committee recommended vacation of the property with two conditions:
comparable landscaping, and granting any easements needed by the City
for the golf course. Mr. Dowsett also mentioned that Southwest Lincoln Water
District requested reservation of their easements through that strip as well.
City Attorney noted that enforcement of landscaping could be part of
the agreement, which would come back to the Council in the form of a
resolution for final approval. Councilor Moore moved to have City staff
proceed with the drafting of the documents for the requested vacation with the
attached conditions of landscaping within one year and the granting of the
requested easements. Councilor
Welch seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
2) Funds for Southeast I & I:
Councilor Moore noted that the City has applied for a $250K loan and
the sewer rates were raised to cover repayment of the loan.
However, DEQ has indicated that the monies will not be available until
the next fiscal year, probably in September.
The concern was that the I & I work would not be able to be
completed during the summer months. Councilor
Moore suggested that the Council consider authorizing the Chief Administrative
Officer to pursue short-term funding, which could then be paid back from the
loan proceeds when the funds were released.
Following a brief discussion, Councilor MacGregor moved to
direct staff to investigate funding, not to exceed the debt service level
already approved. Councilor Welch
seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
3) Water Site Funding: Councilor
Moore indicated that Public Works Director McClintock had voiced concerns
regarding the following items: replacement of the Eckman Creek Pump Station,
rerouting lines in the slide area, north dam repairs which needed to be done,
and a sedimentation basin for pretreatment which will increase the production
capability and decrease turbidity load on the water plant.
The anticipated cost for the projects would be about $700K, and most of
the work would be performed by the Public Works crew.
These costs were incorporated into the proposed budget for FY
2000-2001.
4) Hiring of Bartlett
& Associates for Water Rates: Councilor
Moore noted that water rates would probably have to be increased to come up
with $55K per year to help pay for the proposed improvements.
He recommended that the City proceed with the hiring of Mr. Bartlett to
look at the water rates and the current SDC structure.
Welch moved to hire Mr. Bartlett to perform the rate study and
SDC upgrade for a cost of $9300. Councilor
Peterson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice
vote.
D.
Upcoming Workshop Topics: Discussion
ensued. Consensus of the
Council was to discuss water and sewer issues at the June workshop.
12. OLD BUSINESS: Law
Enforcement: Councilor Moore noted that the committee appointed to discuss
the current contract with the Sheriff had met and concluded their discussion.
Copies of the recommendations had been distributed to the Council, and
he asked that the Council review them for discussion at the next Council
meeting. A brief discussion ensued regarding the formation of a "South
County" enforcement district. Councilor
Welch noted that, given the response from Yachats, it should be clarified that
the deputies are available for Waldport, not to provide enhanced law
enforcement for Yachats.
13. EXECUTIVE SESSION(S): Not required.
14. ACTIONS, IF ANY, FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION:
None.
15. ADJOURNMENT: At 8:55 p.m.,
there being no further business to come before the Council, Councilor
MacGregor moved to adjourn. Councilor
Moore seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice
vote.

present were Public Works Director McClintock, City Administrator Dowsett,
Port Manager Rivers and City Clerk Quinlan.
2. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A.
Tsunami Warning System:
Councilor Welch noted that the siren had been ordered, and the thought
was to place it in the Port area if the
Port commission so agreed. Discussion
ensued. It was noted that the long-range plan was to obtain a total
of three sirens, plus the siren on the firehall.
No objections were made on the part of the Port Commission.
B.
Public Works Matters:
1) Storm water Local
Improvement District: Mr. Dowsett
gave a brief overview of the proposed LID project, noting that the
Infrastructure Committee recommended performing a "pre-formation"
notification and hearing. The
approximate cost for the Port of Alsea portion of the LID project under the
present projected cost-sharing would be about $51K.
Most affected properties would pay approximately $120-125 per year over
30 years. The report was funded
by Urban Renewal monies, and included some $700,000 on the part of the City,
URA pledged $500,000 if the LID is formed, although the City has not yet made
a decision on participation. It
was noted that 60% remonstrance would defeat the proposal.
A backup proposal was approximately $200,000 expenditure in
"fixes". Discussion
ensued regarding possible sources of funding and the impact that such a
project would have on the area.
2) Waterline Looping on
Port Property. Mr. McClintock
noted that the distribution system in the port area included two deadend
lines, one down Broadway and one down Mill Street.
He proposed a saw cut next to the curb near the Port office which would
allow access to the lines in order to loop them and eliminate the dead ends. Following a brief discussion,
consensus of the Port Commission was to allow the City to
proceed with the project.
C.
Parks and Recreation
Matters:
1)
OYCC Summer Project:
Maggie Rivers distributed materials in regards to the parks and
recreation issues and gave a brief overview of the proposed summer projects.
2) Lint Slough Recreation
Opportunities: Commissioner
Johnson gave a brief summary of the Lint Slough project to-date, noting that
the dam had been recently removed, which was phase 1 of the project.
Phase 2 will be to reroute Lint Creek back into Lint Slough and open up
some of the roadway, possibly next summer.
Discussion ensued regarding improving the trail on the west side of the
slough, putting in a trail on the east side, and maybe erecting a bridge to
tie the two together. Mayor
Lehmann noted that the Parks and Recreation committee would schedule a field
trip to look into the project.
3) Ball Field Property: A
brief discussion ensued regarding the Port's ballfield property and whether
the City would be interested in leasing the property from the Port to retain
it for recreational purposes. Maggie
explained that the suggestion has always been that the Port's properties be
leased long-term, rather than selling the property.
Discussion ensued. Consensus
of the Council was that the City was not interested in leasing the property
from the Port at the present time.
Mayor Lehmann displayed the new memorial plaques which will be
installed on the new benches at Meridian Park, as the Port has been involved
in the parks process.
3. ADJOURNMENT: At
7:20 p.m., there being no further business to come before the Council and
Commission, Councilor MacGregor moved to adjourn, Councilor Moore seconded,
and the motion carried unanimously.

regarding other fees and charges for FY 1999/2000. The question was asked
about the proposed increase in the Dahl Disposal franchise fee, which was
going to be recommended for an increase from 2% to 3%. Mr. Dowsett noted that
he could provide the information at the following night's meeting if
requested.
The Committee then
considered the General Fund expenditures. Mr. Dowsett noted a change in the
Administration Materials and Services, recommending that the committee
consider removing the $5000 allocation for internal cost recovery as it would
be put in the following year. Ms. Lehmann suggested that the committee
consider placing such allocations in contingency. Mr. Moore moved to
reduce the Internal Cost Recovery from $5000 to $0 and to increase Contingency
by that $5000. Ms. Searcey seconded. The motion carried

Contingency, Mr. Welch seconded. The motion carried unanimously

Mr. MacGregor and Mr. Moore voting "Aye", the rest voting

lack of a second.
Under Building and
Land Use, it was noted that the City now had its own contract planner rather
than contracting with the County. The PERS allocation was less in the proposed
budget because the costs had been caught up.

Council had not yet made a determination of how they would handle the vacancy.

handle code enforcement. Mr. Moore moved to increase the Municipal

Discussion ensued regarding whether this could be done without closing the
fund. The motion failed, with Mr. Moore voting "Aye", the
rest "Nay".
Discussion ensued
regarding the Senior Center Fund. It was noted that the estimated rental

built their own building.
Discussion ensued
regarding the Senior Center Building Maintenance fund. It was noted that the
siding replacement would probably come in under allocation.
Discussion ensued
regarding the Park Development fund. Mr. Moore moved to reallocate
$2000 by removing it from Crestline Park and adding it to Keady Wayside. Mr.
Bregenzer seconded. The motion carried, with Mr. Peterson voting
"Nay", the rest "Aye".

needed or taken on the following funds: Housing Rehabilitation, Self

At 7:40 p.m., the
committee took a 10-minute break. At 7:50 p.m., the meeting reconvened. Ms.
Lehmann noted that the General Fund could not be closed out, because they
still needed to ascertain the cost recovery for Urban Renewal. Ms. Searcey moved
to increase the Urban Renewal contribution by $25,846 and place that in
Contingency. Mr. Welch seconded. Following discussion, the motion carried,
with Mr. Moore voting "Nay", and the rest "Aye", Mr.
Pompel was absent for the vote. Mr. MacGregor moved to reconsider the
motion to reduce the tax levy by the $28,529. Mr. Welch seconded.
Discussion ensued. The reduction would leave $46,017 in Contingency. The
motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
Discussion ensued
regarding Public Works funds. Mr. McClintock was present to answer questions.
Ms. Lehmann noted that this budget reflected continued funding for the new
second sewer plant operator position as required by DEQ and the filling of the
utility trainee position. Mr. Welch asked if the proposed temporary part-time
positions were included, the response was affirmative. Mr. McClintock noted
that the added plant operator position would provide 7-day per week operation,
a reduction in overtime, and allow for in-house testing. The minimum reduction
to overtime would be $3200. Mr. Pompel moved to so reduce, Ms. Searcey seconded.
The $3200 would be placed in Contingency. The motion carried
unanimously on a voice vote. Mr. Moore suggested removing the trainee position
which would reduce the allocation by $26,751. Mr. Dowsett noted that there
were a couple of proposals which he would like the committee to consider:
hiring a person for 50 or less hours per month or increasing the Library clerk
position to 29 hours per week. Discussion ensued. Mr. Moore moved to
reduce the Utility Worker allocation by $20,737 and move those monies to
Contingency. Mr. Pompel seconded. The motion carried, with Ms.
Rivers, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Ray and Mr. Howell voting "Nay", the rest
voting "Aye". Mr. Moore moved to reduce Advertising to $1000
and move $2000 to Contingency. Ms. Searcey seconded. The motion carried
unanimously on a voice vote. The Contingency was now at $81,076.
Discussion ensued
regarding the purchase of a riding lawnmower. Mr. McClintock explained that he
wanted to get an industrial strength mower to handle the various areas which
need to be mown, not all of which is manicured lawn. Mayor Lehmann noted that
the Contingency allocation in the Public Works fund could be left as it was or
placed in the water, sewer and street funds proportionately.
Discussion ensued
regarding the Street fund. It was noted that the requested budget had been cut
by $27,163 in order to balance the fund.
Discussion ensued
regarding the Water Fund. Mr. MacGregor noted that the Loan proceeds showed
$500,000 but the fund did not show the payment of that loan. Mr. Dowsett
explained that no payments were anticipated in this budget, those would show
up in the next year's budget assuming that the loans were taken out and the
projects completed. Mr. MacGregor noted that in order to repay those loans, a
water rate increase would have to take place. Further discussion ensued. Mr.
McClintock noted that the engineer's estimates were much larger than his
anticipated costs, as most of the work would be performed in-house. Mr.
MacGregor moved to reduce capital outlay projects by $500,000. Mr.
Peterson seconded. Mr. MacGregor amended his motion to reduce
the Loan Proceeds by $500,000. Mr. Peterson seconded the amendment. Mr.
Moore noted that this would virtually eliminate all of the proposed projects
for the upcoming season. Further discussion ensued. The motion failed,
with Mr. MacGregor voting "Aye", the rest "Nay".
Discussion ensued
regarding the Sewer Fund. It was noted that the Loan Proceeds of $250,000 had
been approved by the Council, for the SE Pump Station and I & I, and the
repayment was included in the debt service portion of the fund.
Ms. Lehmann noted
that the next budget hearing would be at 5:30 the following evening, with Road
District #3 and Urban Renewal.
At 9:18 p.m., Mr.
Welch moved to recess the meeting to the following evening. Mr. Moore seconded,
and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
