Mr. Kelly liked the idea of going forward with such a study. He wished to see it considered within the context of the work program, noting that the council would be reviewing land use regulations regarding cell tower placement after January 1, 2005. He asked Mr. Pap6 if he would be amenable to tabling the item, noting that he would vote in opposition if the question was called at the present meeting. Mr. Pap6 disagreed, stating that the City was putting property owners and neighborhoods in conflict by not amending its refinement plans for 20 years. He wished to move things forward. Mr. Kelly, seconded by Ms. Bettman, moved to table the motion. The mo- tion passed, 7:1; Ms. Solomon voting in opposition. B. ACTION: Resolution 4818 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2004, and Ending June 30, 2005 Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to approve Resolution 4818 adopting a Supplemental Budget; making appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year beginning Julyl, 2004, and ending June 30, 2005. City Manager Dennis Taylor said he and Budget Manager Kitty Murdoch would be available to review the material and answer questions. In response to a question from Mr. Pap~, Mr. Torrey affirmed that a public hearing had been held on this item. He said one speaker provided testimony. Mr. Kelly thanked staff for responding to his questions. He said they were answered well. Ms. Bettman opined that, given it was an $8 million budget, some summary for the public record should be necessary. She also thanked staff for answering her questions. Ms. Murdoch explained that the primary purpose of the first Supplemental Budget of every year was to reconcile all of the carry-over amounts from the previous year through several processes: the reserve for encumbrance, the capital carryover, and the audited beginning working capital reconciliation. She said funding for new programs and projects that were not completed in prior years was also reappropriated and new revenues such as grants and, in the case of capital, revenues expected to be received from inter- governmental agreements (IGAs) were recognized in the budget. She stated that in the General Fund the marginal beginning working capital reconciliation was exceptionally high, $7.8 million, because of the settlement of the Qwest lawsuit and all of the deferred revenues it entailed. She outlined the components of the reconciliation and reappropriations. The motion passed unanimously, 8:0. C. ACTION: An Ordinance Concerning Cell Towers, and amending Section 9.9750 of the Eugene Code, 1971 Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved that the City Council adopt MINUTES--Eugene City Council December 8, 2004 Page 2 Work Session
