Res. 2206 - Extend Water Service to Marion County at 1505 Blaine StreetCOUNCIL BILL NO.3205
RESOLUTION NO. 2206
A RESOLUTION TO EXTEND AND PROVIDE MUNICIPAL WATER SERVICES TO A
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNED BY MARION COUNTY LOCATED AT 1505 BLAINE
STREET, WOODBURN, OREGON, LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CORPORATE CITY
BOUNDARIES
WHEREAS, pursuant to City Ordinance No. 2405 (as amended by Ordinance
No. 2459), the City has the power and authority to provide municipal water
and/or sewer service to property outside the corporate City boundaries in
instances where an emergency is declared by the City Council and the Council
makes a policy determination that it is in the interests of the City to provide these
services; and
WHEREAS, a residential property owned by Marion County and located
at 1505 Blaine Street, Woodburn, Oregon (the "Property"), remains
unincorporated in Marion County, but within the City's urban growth
boundary, and does not have a municipal sewer or water connection,
instead relying on an on -site septic system and well; and
WHEREAS, Marion County recently acquired the property and found that
the current shallow residential well is not adequate to accommodate a new type
of proposed use for the property and would otherwise require rehabilitation or
upgrades to the existing well (or replacement) to comply with the health
department standards, which would be extremely costly; and
WHEREAS, the Property has at least one boundary line that is adjacent to
an established City boundary and connection to the City's water service system
could be accommodated at a more reasonable cost; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that as a result of this identified public
health emergency it is in its best interest to correspondingly extend and provide a
municipal water connection to the Property, NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF WOODBURN RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Where the City has a shared interest with Marion County in
ensuring that the Property has a safe and a secure water source, the City hereby
declares a public health emergency necessitating that municipal water services
be extended outside City boundaries.
Section 2. The City Council finds that it is in the public interest that water
services should be extended outside City boundaries and hereby approves

RESOLUTION NO. 2206
providing municipal water services to the Property located at 1505 Blaine Street,
Woodburn, Oregon.
Section 3. The City Council's decision to extend water services outside City
boundaries in this situation is specific to the facts and circumstances of this case
and are justified as a result of the inadequate well system currently on the
Property. All costs associated with extending the municipal water line(s) and
providing the service connection for the Property will be borne by the Property
owner (Marion County).
