2011 Integrated Electric Resource Plan
(Eugene Water and Electric Board, 2012-01-03) Eugene Water & Electric Board
EWEB‟s Integrated Electric Resource Plan (IERP) serves as a roadmap to guide decisions for how the utility will meet the energy needs of our customers over the next two decades, and to identify specific actions to take over the next five years. The primary purpose of the IERP is to set a strategic path that will meet forecast demand for power while minimizing risks. The 2011 IERP is using a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework to consider the economic, social, and environmental aspects of alternative strategies. The TBL includes both quantitative and qualitative information to encourage a more comprehensive and holistic consideration of benefits and impacts of different alternatives.

2011 Strategic Plan: Road Map for Our Next 100 Years
(Eugene Water & Electric Board, 2011-05-03) Eugene Water & Electric Board
EWEB has established an overarching strategy and seven vertical “Whats” (product and service strategies at the Board level to guide the organization on trade-off considerations when deliberating on major decisions). In addition, EWEB has identified five horizontal strategies or “the Hows” (business systems, communications and technology) at the organizational level. The specific strategies contained in this plan were crafted to reflect this view of balancing multiple factors to determine total value. The EWEB Board has directed the utility to plan and operate around this fundamental proposition of balance and total value. We believe that the success of EWEB has been in large part due to balanced value-based decisions. As discussed above, the overarching strategy includes the “Whats” and the “Hows” along with the methods by which we bring those strategies together within EWEB. Section eight and section nine provide a more detailed description of the “Whats” and the “Hows.”

Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization Public Participation Plan
(Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization, 2007-01) Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization
The Public Participation Plan is an adopted document of the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) is the Central Lane MPO acting within an area which consists of Eugene, Springfield and Coburg within their urban growth boundaries, and the portion of Lane County that surrounds Eugene/Springfield and connects the metropolitan area to Coburg (Map 1). The purpose of the plan is to ensure broad public participation during the development, review, and refinement of regional transportation programs. The over-arching goal is two-way communication with citizens, open decision making, and responsiveness to citizen input. The first chapter introduces the Public Participation Plan, explains the need and purpose for the plan, describes the decision making authority, addresses consistency with state and federal regulations, and lists the target audiences to be reached. Chapter II contains the goals, objectives, and policies. Chapter III lists the key products of the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the public involvement for each. Chapter III also tells how and when the public can provide input and how public input will be incorporated into plans and projects. Chapter IV describes the evaluation process and measures.

City of Springfield Stormwater Facilities Master Plan
(Springfield (Or.), 2008-10) Springfield (Or.)
In 2003, the City of Springfield initiated a project to develop a comprehensive stormwater facilities master plan (SWFMP). In the absence of this plan, the City has typically been designing and constructing facilities for treating and conveying stormwater runoff on an individual development or site by site basis. In addition, as is typical for nearly all cities, most of the City of Springfield’s stormwater collection and conveyance system was historically designed and built with the sole objective of addressing flooding issues. The purpose of this document is to provide a guide to plan for more comprehensive, efficient, and multi-objective management of the City’s stormwater system.

Coburg : Downtown plan
(City of Coburg (Or.), 2001-08-21) Coburg (Or.); Lane Council of Governments (Or.)
The Coburg Downtown Plan (Plan) is a refinement to the City of Coburg Transportation System Plan (TSP), which was adopted in September 1999. The Plan conforms to all TSP goals and policies, but provides greater detail on transportation and associated improvements within the downtown area, specifically the Central Business (CB) District. The land use component of the Plan recommends revisions to the Coburg Zoning Code; however specific ordinance amendments are not proposed to be adopted at this time. The City of Coburg will be in Periodic Review in the near future and the city anticipates major revisions to its zoning code; a comprehensive approach to zoning code amendments will occur through this process. The downtown code recommendations can be incorporated at that time. [From the Plan]

A Community Climate and Energy Action Plan for Eugene
(Eugene (Or.), 2010-09) Eugene (Or.)
In the winter of 2008/2009, Eugene’s City Council unanimously directed staff to develop a Community Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP).[4] All City operations and City-owned facilities were to be carbon-neutral by 2020. During the same year, the Council committed the City to work with its partners to develop a plan to set carbon emission goals, to suggest effective emission reduction strategies, and to identify ways in which the community can adapt to the anticipated changes. Four months later, the Council expanded the action plan to include steps for achieving a 50 percent reduction in community-wide fossil fuel consumption by 2030. This plan is the product of those efforts to understand what climate change and fuel cost increases could mean for Eugene, and to find ways that lessen the expected impacts and meet the goals for reducing emissions and fossil fuel consumption.
