e e e Councilor Holmer said the proposed amendment to the Code, Section 2.013, subsection C, changes one word. He read the sentence in question, as follows: "...appointments which more appropriately should be delegated to ~ committee on boards, commissions, and committees composed of three councilors..." Because the intent is to appoint three committees, Councilor Holmer suggested a deferral of action on the ordinance to correct the grammatical problem. City Attorney Tim Sercombe stated that the ordinance was "generic" in its refer- ence to any committee of councilors appointed to consider any appointment. Therefore, it could be in the singular and still do the job. CB 2710--An ordinance concerning appointment processes for City boards, commissions, and committees; amending Section 2.013 of the Eugene Code, 1971; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the council, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously, 6:0. Council Bill 2710 was read the second time by council bill number only. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; all councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19212). VI. FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL FORECAST (memo, projection distributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. Warren Wong, Financial Director, explained that the State Executive Department requires the City to prepare a five-year financial projection of all revenue and expenditures if they want to continue to share in revenue-sharing funds. The approximate amount of funds involved is $700,000 per year. Not only has the Oregon Municipal Finance Officers Association passed a resolution to have the State Executive Department eliminate this requirement, but they have also informed the House Revenue Committee to include this as an agenda item for the 1985 legislature. In response to Ms. Wooten's question, Mr. Wong responded that the financial forecasts have been within an accuracy range of plus or minus ten percent. In response to Mr. Wong's concern on the requirement of the five-year forecast, Mayor Keller gave an explanation of the evolution of that decision. Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to approve the long-range fiscal projection for submittal to the State Executive Department. Roll call vote; the motion was carried unanimously, 6:0.
