<br />I r
<br /> "MEMO TO MAYOR CONE AND THE CITY COUNCIL, EUGENE Ii
<br /> I FROM C. LA UR I S I' e
<br /> II
<br /> "
<br /> RE GARBAGE DISPOSAL " i:
<br /> r
<br /> THIS \. ii
<br /> IS TO PROPOSE THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS, URGING 1:
<br /> [ THE COUNTY COMMISSIONeRS TO CONTINUE WITH THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL PROCRAM THAT HAS WORKED COMPETENTLY H
<br /> "
<br /> FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. I'
<br /> i \l
<br /> "
<br /> I IN BEING WILLING TO URGE AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM WITHOUT :i I
<br /> INTERRUPTION, ONE "
<br /> I :i
<br /> HAS TO AGREE, OF COURSE, THAT A NUMBER Of fACTS ARE PRESENT: I'
<br /> I ;;
<br /> i.l
<br /> I . THAT THE GRABAGE DISPOSAL PROGRAM HAS, IN fACT, BEEN EfFICIENT, AND TO DEPART FROM I T WOU L D "
<br /> II
<br /> MEAN A RETURN TO THE UGLY AND HAPHAZARD DUMPING Of REFUSE ALONG ROADSIDES IN EVERY PART Of THE COUNTY. "
<br /> .1
<br /> I,
<br /> :i
<br /> 2. To ALL ARP-EARANCES, NO SATISFACTORY PROGRAM HAS'BEEN PROPOSED FOR 1960-61 ; IT ALSO APPEARS I'
<br /> il
<br /> i THAT AT THIS POINT THE COMMISSIONERS WOULD WELCOME A SOUND PROPOSAL AND SUPPORT FOR ACTION. Ii
<br /> 1 It
<br /> I 'I
<br /> i:
<br /> I 3. THAT THE DISPOSAL OF WASTES IS THE CONCE~N AND RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT FOR REASONS 11
<br /> OF PROTECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH. "
<br /> I
<br /> "
<br /> I 4. THE LEVY FAI LED TO PASS BY A NARROW MARGIN FOR TWO MAJOR REASONS: A GOOO MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT if
<br /> "
<br /> II
<br /> 1, THE LEVY WAS SOMETHING OVER AND ABOVE THE MONTHLY fEE THEY PAY TO THE GARBAGE HAULERS, THINKING THAT I:
<br /> II THE FEE TO THE HAULERS ALSO PA I D FOR MA I NTENANCE Of THE DUMP GROUNDS; OTHER PEOPLE BEL EYE THAT niE "
<br /> "
<br /> II il
<br /> PROGRAM SHOULD BE .IN THE GENERAL FUND AND NO~ REQUiRE A SPECIAL LEVY, JUST AS' SOME OTHER PR:> GRAMS II
<br /> 'I HAVE COME TO BE ACCEPTED AS PART OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND HAVE BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE GENERAL FUND. i;
<br /> :1
<br /> Ii II
<br /> Ii 5. A GOOD DEAL Of EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PURCHASED fOR THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL PROGRAM, AND NO DOUBT II
<br /> !i A GOOD CASE COULD BE MADE TO SHOW THAT EUGENE TAXPAYERS PAID THE MAJOR PORTION or THE COST.
<br /> , iI
<br /> ,
<br /> I II
<br /> I 6. IT CAN READILY BE PROVED THAT THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE REQUIRES EMERGENCY ACTION BECAUSE IT "
<br /> i ~
<br /> ! IS VITAL TO CONTINUED HEALTH AND WELFARE Of THE CITIZENS Of THE COUNTY. I N ORDER NO/' TO LOSE THE :1
<br /> GROUND GAINED THROUGH ITS OPERATION IN THE LAST fEW YEARS THE COUNCIL OUGHT TO URGE THE COMMIS- ,I
<br /> ..
<br /> I d I
<br /> 1; SIONERS TO ADOPT OUR RECOMMENDATION TO PRESERVE ORDER AND SANITATION UNTIL A NEW LEVY IS VOTED UPON, :1
<br /> 11 OR UNTIL THEY SEE THE WAY CLEAR TO INCORPORATE THE COSTS INTO THE GENERAL fUND. II
<br /> ,I
<br /> I
<br /> 'I :i
