He said that on May 25, 1982, the Budget Committee had approved a - budget which restored $608,000 to the budget presented by the City Manager in April 1982. He said that restored funds were for such things as fire protection, law enforcement, and the budgets of the Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments. He said that there was also direction from the Budget Committee that was not contained in the budget document for allocation of funds that might become available during the coming fiscal year. He said that this direction included restoration of approximately $381,000 in services, primarily in the area of public safety, with some in the area of administrative services. Mr. Whitlow noted that this budget was targeted to end the next fiscal year with a $3.8 million cash carry forward, which is the absolute minimum that staff recommends the City carry forward. Mr. Whitlow also reported that there were still some unresolved questions regarding budgeting for intergovernmental agencies and that these resulted primarily from the uncertain nature of Lane County's funding of these agencies. He said that to date the Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission, the Joint Social Services Program, the Lane Council of Governments, and the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority had received funding allocations for 1983 from Eugene and Springfield but not from the County. He said that such funding had been recommended to the commissioners by the County Intergovernmental Subcommittee but that no action had yet been taken. He said there had been discussion of the County's borrowing road funds to support these agencies. Mr. Whitlow referred to a previous report on the animal control program in which he had indicated to the council that the City's costs will go up if it remains in the current program. He said that there were no funds in the County budget for the Cooperative Museum Commission, the Metropolitan Cable Television Commission, or the Association e of Oregon Counties.
