FINAL from 14
County, Calif. She has over
10 years of local government
management experience,
including as interim and as a
deputy county administrator
for Clackamas County, Ore.
Newton has a bachelor’s
degree in management and
organizational leadership
from George Fox University
and a master’s degree in
public administration from
Portland State University.
Since 2016, Lee has been
the public works director
for the City of Amarillo,
Texas. He has over 10 years
of local government manage-
ment, including working for
the City of Dallas, Texas, as
assistant director of street
services and as a business
manager for library services
in the same city.
Lee has a bachelor’s degree
in public administration from
Henderson State University
and a master’s degree in
public administration from
the University of Kansas.
The city manager is the
chief administrative officer
of the City and is respon-
sible for informing and
advising city council about
services the City provides to
Springfield residents, as well
as overseeing the administra-
tion of all City departments
and appointing department
directors. Specifically for
Springfield, city officials
stated that they seek a city
a manager who is commit-
ted to coaching and mento-
ring employees in customer
service and emotional intel-
ligence.
Springfield City Council
met in executive session
on Monday to discuss the
search. Fossen is unsure
what the next step will be in
the process.
The mayor and council
met on Monday in executive
session to continue deliber-
ations.
INCREASE continued from 1
It is a “pay now or pay later” scenario, Piper said, and
this way the fund will have enough money in it when those
projects arise in the next five to 10 years.
“A no-rate-increase is scary because it hits you down
the road,” Piper said.
The committee also discussed making changes to the
bulk water rate, which is available to people living outside
the city limits. At this moment, there is no fee beyond the
variable rate; however, Piper noted that with the rise in
the number of people buying bulk water, the utility clerk
spends more than half a day billing those customers, and
those administrative costs aren’t captured in the variable
rate.
Piper and Public Works Director Cliff Bellew suggested
including a fee to help cover administrative costs. The
committee overall agreed that the administrative costs
should be covered, and wanted to see more numbers and
fee options.
Looking back at past projections, Piper said that the
City met their projections for water and one-time reve-
nues. For Fiscal Year 2018-19, the committee hit their
target of $375,000 in revenues over expenditures due to
cost controls over materials and services, a 3% annual rate
increase and the sale of old equipment.
Piper added that FY 2018-19 was the first time water
rates have been below 1% of median household income
since FY 2012-13, and they are in the “sweet spot of
affordability.”
Sewer revenue is easy to predict, Piper said, because
there isn’t a seperate meter for outflow, so it’s based on
the same usage. The fund met their $250,000 revenues
over expenditures target for capital reserves by selling
the vactor truck for additional revenues and sticking with
a 3% annual rate increase.
Residential users are still in the majority in Creswell,
with 93% using City water, and three-quarter-inch
meter pipes are the most common. The methodology
the committee uses is called a potential demand base,
which is based on the pipe meter size and its flow capac-
ity. Residential users commonly choose the smallest meter
pipes, but larger meters are available for a business with
a higher flow capacity; those users are also apportioned a
larger share of the system’s fixed costs. Due to Creswell
having low commercial and industrial use, the rates are
similar to a flat rate.
The committee will meet on Feb. 13 to discuss and
recommend a fee addition to the bulk water base rate.
FLOODPLAINS continued from 1
“We (the City) talk about policy
work before people are individually
affected by the change,” Phillips said.
“In this case, there are no changes yet,
so everyone can talk about it as general
concepts.”
The map is color-coded in accor-
dance with levels of floodplains – land
areas that are at high risk for flood-
ing, ranging from 1% annual chance
of flooding (light blue), a 0.2% annual
chance (yellow) and a high-risk flood-

DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
Pursuant to ORS 223.304 (6) & (7),
public notice is hereby given of the
City of Creswell’s intent to change the
methodology for calculating System
Development Charges (SDCs) for
water, wastewater, stormwater,
transportation, and parks services.
A public hearing on the new
methodology is scheduled before
the Creswell City Council on June 8,
2020. The proposed methodology
will be available for public review at
the City’s web site and at Creswell
city hall no later than March 16, 2020.
The city hall street address is 13
South 1st Street, Creswell, Oregon

matter can be referred Mr. James
Piper, CPA , Finance Director;

way designation (dark blue). A home in
a floodplain has a 26% chance of suffer-
ing flood damage within 30 years.
Phillips said that the City is “largely
on the sidelines of these changes, trying
to help people understand what their
notice said, and encourages residents
to take the time to inquire about the
policy changes, “because at some
point, your property may be subject
to the changes.”
The Creswell Planning Commision
on Feb. 20 will have the first of two
public hearings to discuss making
changes to the City’s Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and Development
Code. The changes are intended to
align with the county’s multi-juris-
dictional Natural Hazard Mitigation
Plan and the State’s model flood-
plain ordinance. The meeting will
be at 6:30 p.m. in McClusky Council
Chambers.

***
I received a question from
a reader of The Chronicle
who was born under the sign
Aquarius on the cusp of Sheep
and Monkey years. She wanted
to know about the personality
of her new boyfriend who was
born under the sign Libra-
Snake and about their compat-
ibility together.
The Libra-Snake has a
graceful personality. He
enjoys thinking, medita-
tion and has refined, good
taste. I’ve written about
Snake-born people before,
and have mentioned that
they can be intense; but in
this case, the combination
of Libra with Snake creates
a quieter, gentler soul – one
who communicates with a
gracious tongue rather than
a venomous one.
Paul Simon of Simon and
Garfunkel is a Libra-Snake,
as are Chubby Checker
and Tito Jackson. A Libra-
Snake’s spirit resonates
music. Libra-Snakes enjoy
peace and romance, and
recoil when confronted with
brash behavior or arrogance.
The Aquarius-Sheep/
Monkey is social and driven.
They are nurturers and
advocates for the downtrod-
den. The Sheep personality
can be strategic and clever,
whereas the Monkey person-
ality is a sexy industrialist.
This dynamic personality
cannot rest. It is not easy
being an Aquarius-Sheep/
Monkey. This sign idealizes
the concept of resting but
cannot find the off-ramp to
rest without a GPS.
The personality types
between these two individu-
als are dissimilar. They both
want long-lasting relation-
ships, but struggle to find the
one. A Libra-Snake tends to
have more than one spouse
throughout his life, and an
Aquarius-Sheep/Monkey
tends to search for perfec-
tion in a match throughout
her life.
If these two signs met
in their youth, I would not
suggest this combination
would work well; but facing
retirement, in this case, the
Libra-Snake could serve
as an excellent GPS, guid-
ing the Aquarius-Sheep/
Monkey toward slowing
down, mellowing and enjoy-
ing the scenic view on their
path together. The Aquarius-
Sheep/Monkey can support
and inspire the Libra-Snake
toward peace and security,
allowing his creativity and
gentle soul a safe retreat from
the tumultuous and confus-
ing world a Libra-Snake
often experiences.
In this relationship, the
two can enjoy the diverse
beauty each brings to the
other; and as the relation-
ship progresses, it is import-
ant that neither of you expect
the other to conform. Instead,
appreciate the beauty and
strength your par tner-
ship offers you to balance
together.
