Commission halts city bid
The Lane County Boundary Commission voted
late Thursday night to deny a petition supporting for
mation of a City of Santa Clara. The action halted
movement toward a spring incorporation election by
residents of the River Road-Santa Clara area.
The commission's decision came at the end of a
heated four-hour public hearing on the issue, which
followed an earlier hearing on Nov. 3.
The seven-member commission based Thurs
day's 4-1 decision on the two public hearings and on
an Economic Feasibility Study done by the group
favoring incorporation. That study presented
methods of financing and operating the proposed ci
ty of 23,865 people.
Commission Chair Dale Morris abstained from
voting on the issue because he owns a home in the
River Road-Santa Clara area. Commission member
|im Bernhard was absent.
In July, the petition for the proposed city went to
the boundary commission after the county elections
office verified 2,388 signatures, more than the re
quired 2,251.
After its successful petitioning, however, the in
corporation group began running into obstacles.
The Eugene City Council, Springfield's govern
ment and the state land conservation and develop
ment department all announced opposition to the
effort.
And on Oct. 25, the boundary commission staff
released a 700-page report strongly recommending
denial of the petition on budgetary and operational
grounds.
"The proposal for the incorporation of the new
City of Santa Clara fails to meet the overall thrust of
the boundary commission standards for formation of
a new unit of government," the report stated.
The proposal did not meet standards for public
services such as sewers, water service and fire pro
tection, according to the report.
"The Economic Feasibility Study either ignores
many of the required services, provides inadequate
details regarding how those services will be provid
ed, fails to support those required services with any
budget proposal, or fails to provide adequate and
realistic budget proposals for those required ser
vices," the report stated.
The proposal also failed to address relationships
with existing governments, and failed to propose a
budget reflecting the "true cost of a new, minimum
level service city to the taxpayers in the River Road
Santa Clara area," according to the staff report.
Olum lends students an ear
By John Heldt
Of the Imerald
An idea initiated last spring by
former ASUO Pres. C.J. Balfe has
sprung to life under current stu
dent body president, Mary
Hotchkiss.
What Balfe had in mind was a
vehicle through which student
representatives could voice their
concerns to the University
president.
His idea evolved into the
Associated Students President's
—UO Bookstore=
Advisory Council — after attempts
to get student representation on
the influential Faculty Advisory
Council failed.
"We wanted representation, but
it just wasn't available on the
Faculty Advisory Council," says
Cary Okazaki, who worked for
last year's ASUO Executive and is
coordinator of Universtiy affairs
this year.
ASPAC consists of 10 student
members, with two elected at
large and the rest chosen by stu
dent government bodies.
In addition, a rotating position
on ASPAC is offered periodically
to students who want to speak out
on a particular issue. Regular
members serve one year terms on
the council, which does not
receive funding, and none of the
positions are paid.
The council's primary function is
to advise Unversity Pres. Paul
Olum, says Okazaki, one of two

The committee also attempts to
improve student/administration
relations and enhance com
munication between students and
ASUO programs.
The very nature of ASPAC is
synonomous with this year's
ASUO administration, which Hot
chkiss says wants to increase stu
dent awareness of problems con
fronting the University
community.
Olum is pleased with the coun
cil and says it gives him a new
avenue for reaching students.
"It gives me an opportunity to
get significant input on student
views of things in the University
that are important to them,"
Olum says. "The students'
response is very responsible and
constructive.
"I think it is absolutely terrific."
ASPAC member Karen |ones
also says ASPAC can make a
difference.
"I think the meetings are good
because they let Olum know what
the students are thinking, and
he really does care," she says.
