Response to Councilor Question Regarding Management Audit of the Hult <br /> Center <br /> Responding to a question raised at a previous council meeting by Councilor <br /> Wooten, City Manager Micheal Gleason said that staff was in the process of <br /> preparing specifications to be used in a request for proposals (RFP) for a <br /> management audit of the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. He said that the <br /> RFP would be brought to the council for comment, probably by mid-July. <br /> Ms. Wooten asked when the report might be finished. Mr. Gleason said he hoped a <br /> contract would be signed in July, with a draft report available in September or <br /> October 1983. Ms. Wooten said that she hoped the report could be done as soon <br /> as possible to allow an opportunity to make mid-year budget adjustments. <br /> Responding to a question from Councilor Obie, Mr. Gleason said that there were <br /> e several firms with the qualifications necessary to bid on this assignment. <br /> Mr. Obie urged that if an accounting firm was to be used, the accounting firm <br /> that performs regular audits for the City not be considered. <br /> II. REPORT FROM COMMISSIONER SCOTT LIEUALLEN ON LANE COUNTY'S FISCAL PROBLEMS <br /> Lane County Commissioner Scott Lieuallen addressed the council. He introduced <br /> County Sherriff Dave Burks, County Assessor Bill Bain, Acting County Administrator <br /> Margaret Mahoney, County Finance Director Bud Rainey, and staff member Cathy <br /> Fish. He noted that District Attorney Pat Horton would arrive shortly and that <br /> Juvenile Services Administrator Paul Lenarduzzi was unable to be present. <br /> Commissioner Lieuallen discussed the County's recent financial history, noting <br /> that the discretionary funds available to the County in 1980-81 totalled <br /> $31 million, compared with a figure of $17.7 for 1983-84. He said that County <br /> employees had numbered 1300 FTEs in 1980-81, compared with under 500 FTEs in <br /> 1983-84. He said County departments had been reorganized and consolidated from <br /> 17 to seven and cited other economy measures that had been implemented. He <br /> noted that voters had soundly defeated a general purpose operating levy for the <br /> County in May 1983. Commissioner Lieuallen said that on June 28 a menu of <br /> levies would be placed on the ballot, including an A levy of $2.9 million to <br /> provide for sheriff, district attorney, and juvenile services, and five B levies <br /> for individual categories of service--sheriff, district attorney, juvenile <br /> department, assessment and taxation, and rat and mosquito control. He noted <br /> that the A levy must pass for any of the B levies to be successful. <br /> e <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 15, 1983 Page 2 <br />
