<br /> 2. Some weeks ago the Council was formally requested by the Eugene Recreation!\
<br /> Commission to favorably consider an ,expanded Park-Recreation program for the city f
<br /> involving both capital outlay fu{ids and operating expense. At that time a sug- !i I'
<br />~do gestedbudget was submitted, predicated upon a special levy that would have approxi+
<br /> mated 5 mills annually for at least thre,e years. ' Since that date this proposed bud~
<br />{-y ~ 'get has been analyzed and revised with special attention to, the segregation of Ii
<br /> . capital outlay and operational item~. If the program requests are to be met ,
<br /> :1
<br /> generally the sum of approximately $200,00 would be required over a three-year I'
<br /> 'I
<br /> period together with,an additional one-mill levy, for operating expenses. "

<br /> I,
<br /> 3. In recent months a joint committee of the Council and Mill. Race Park :1
<br /> Association has been studying an engineering report and cost estimates ,pertaining tq I
<br /> the restorat;ion of the Mill Race. While I do not have a formal report to submit ,:
<br /> for the Council group at this, time, it would appear that E! bond authorization by "
<br /> the taxpayers would pro~e the only means of financing this project. Depending on
<br /> type of restoration, costs for the project vary from $29,800 to $44,000. These
<br /> figures do not include provision for xecreational development along the race, nor
<br /> do the estimates include ,the $10,000 Mill Race fund now on hand.
<br /> :,
<br /> While each of the above proposals must stand or fall on its own merit I am "
<br /> "
<br /> I'
<br /> sure the Council will feel as I do that the over-all financing program, inCluding :'
<br /> the question of bonded debt limitation, cannot be properly considered until such ,i
<br /> time as the Council has indicated its intent as to the placing of any or all of ,
<br /> I,
<br /> the above outlined proposals on a special election ballot. I am, therefore, sub- ,
<br /> I:
<br /> mitting this report in the hopes that the Council will see fit to make such
<br /> determination~ All approved proposals should then be referred to the Finance Com-
<br /> mittee for specif.ic recommendations as to appropriations in each instance.
<br /> If this finance report could be submitted and accepted by the Council at its ~
<br /> regular meeting later this month an election date could be set and all necessary,
<br /> preliminary, work, including preparation of election ordinance, selection of
<br /> election officials, printing of pamphlets and ballots, etc.; could proceed. This
<br /> work would require approximately 60 days and the election could be fixed for early ,
<br /> March. . !
<br /> Trusting this report may merit your attention and favorable consideration,
<br /> I am" ! I
<br /> . "
<br /> It was moved by Hawn, seconded by Crumbaker that. the report of the City Manager be I'
<br /> :1
<br /> ,
<br /> feceived and placed on file and that all proposals, contained in the report be ;;
<br /> referred to the Finance Committee of the Council for study and recommendation and "
<br /> "
<br /> that such recommendations be first considered by the Council as a Committee of the I
<br /> whole before being reported back to the Council. i
