<br /> REPORTS OF C'fFICERS
<br /> 4 REPORTS Of" THE CITY MANAGER - RE: ANNUAL MEETINGS Of" THE AMERICAN MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION
<br /> AND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CITY MANAGER'S ASSOCIATION CONf"ERENCE WERE SUBMITTED.
<br /> IT WAS THE EXPRESSION OF THE COUNCIL THAT THE REPORTS BE f" I LED AND THAT THE COUNC I L STUDY
<br /> THE COPIES PROVIDED FOR T HE M AND MAKE ANY COMMENT AT A LATER MEETING.
<br /> 5 A REPORT Of" THE CITY ATTORNEY - RE: ATTENDANCE AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE Of" MUNICIPAL
<br /> LAW OFFICERS CON FE REN CE AT KANSAS CITY WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS:
<br /> " I WISH TO REPORT THAT THERE WERE OVER 300 C I T Y A TTORNE YS AN D CITY SOLICITORS FROM
<br /> 40 DIFFERENT STATES AND 5 PROVINCES OF CANADA AT THE CONFERENCE OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE
<br /> I Of" MUNICIPAL LAW Of"FICERS WHICH I HAVE JUS T ATTENDED AT KANSAS C IT Y. EXPERTS IN MANY
<br /> FIELDS Of" MUNICIPAL LAW WERE PRESENT AND FOR THREE DAYS GAVE US VALUABLE ADVICE AND
<br /> INSTRUCTION. I AM ENCLOSING HEREWITH A COpy OF THE PROGRAM, AND IT WILL BE AVAILABLE
<br /> SHOULD ANYONE CARE TO EXAMINE IT. I HA VE ON FILE IN MY OFFICE PR I NTED COPIES OF ALL OF
<br /> THE lECTURES AND REPORTs OF THE CONFEREN CE FOR f"UTURE REFERENCE.
<br /> IT HAS OCCURRED TO ME THAT SEVERAL Of" THE SUGGEST IONS MADE AT THE CONf"ERENCE MIGHT
<br /> WELL BE CONSIDERED BY THE C I T Y OF EUGENE:
<br /> I . T AX A T I ON AND REV ENUE IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT WE LEND OUR SUPPORT TO A BILL TO BE
<br /> ! S U 8M I T TED TO THE NEXT SESSION OF THE ORE GON LEGISLATURE ENABLING MUNICIPALITIES TO LEV Y
<br /> i AND COLLECT ALL OR PART Of" THE FOLLOWING TAXES: A OM IS S I ON TA XES,
<br /> I I N CO ME TAX, PA YROL L
<br /> TAX, OCCUPATION TAX, BUSINESS OCCUPATION AND GROSS RECEIPTS TAX OR SALES TAXES. UNDER
<br /> I SUCH A BILL EACH MUNICIPALITY COULD THEN DE C I DE WHICH FORM OF TAX WOULD BE MOST ACCEPT ABLE
<br /> TO ITS NEEDS AND ENACT THE SAME INTO LAW BY ORDINANCE, WITHOUT SUB JE C TIN G THE CITY TO THE
<br /> PROBABILITY OF BE I NG INVOLVED IN lONG AND EXPENSIVE LITIGATION. EXPERIENCE IN MAN Y CITIES
<br /> SHOWS THAT IN ALMOST EVERY CASE WHERE A C I T Y HAS ENACTED TAX-RAISING ORDINANCES WITHOUT
<br /> FIRST HAVING AN ENABLING ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE, THE ORD INANCES HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN
<br /> ATTACKED IN THE COURTS. IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT T HI S MATTER BE REFERRED TO THE
<br /> FINANCE COMMITTEE f"OR CONSIDERATION AN D ACTION. IT WAS POINTED OUT TO US THAT ALTHOUGH
<br /> AT FIRST SUCH A TAX MA Y BE EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR, IT WILL BE lA TER APPROVED WHEN THE
<br /> CITIZENS OF THE CITY OBSERVE HOW FAST THEIR C I T Y IS PROGRESSING IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
<br /> AND DE BT RETIREMENT. I
<br /> I
<br /> THE TAX WHICH HAS PROVEN MOST SUCCESSf"UL AND WHICH CAN BE COLLECTED f"0 R THE LOWEST !
<br /> ADMINISTRATION CIST IS THE INCOME AND PAYROll DEDUCT I ON TAX. THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS. I
<br /> Af"TER ENABLING LEGLISLATION WAS PASSED, ADOPTED A ONE-HALF OF ONE PER CENT WITHHOLDING TAX. i
