M I NUT E S e Eugene City Councll McNutt Room, City Hall July 10, 1984 5:30 p.m. COUNCILORS PRESENT: Brian Obie, John Ball, Freeman Holmer, Emily Schue, Dick Hansen, Debra Ehrman, and Ruth Bascom (Councilor-elect). ABSENT: Mayor Keller, Cynthia Wooten, and Betty Smith. Revenue work session of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called to order by Councilor Obie in the absence of His Honor Mayor Gus Keller. I. CONTINUED DISCUSSION CONCERNING REVENUES (background material dis- tributed) City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the agenda item. This meeting was called to review and discuss more data in order to make a decision on the capital budget, timing issues, and projects that can be done within the operating framework. Mr. Wong reviewed the exhibits as distributed. Exhibit A, High Priority e Schedule, describes Capital Improvement Needs versus Available Resources, from FY86 through FY 95, for a total cumulative deficit of $30,395,000. This list does not include all the projects to be done within the next three years, Capital Improvement Program, but rather is a prioritized list of those most urgently required. The departments of Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Facilities Development used that CIP as a basis to add the projects required to maintain existing assets. The revenues shown are from Federal Revenue Sharing funds. Exhibit B illustrates capital needs listed by department; Exhibit C lists departmental project descriptions. Exhibit Band C do not include "big ticket" items such as a new library, Public Safety, or City Hall buildings, which would be funded by bond issues. Exhibit 0 includes all capital projects. Exhibit E shows all capital requirements, funded by general obligation bonds. The Ferry Street bridge project is not included in any exhibit, as it would likely be funded from federal highway funds. Mr. Hansen wondered what the difference was between a capital project and operating project--or, how is it determined which budget street overlays and seals should be listed in. Mr. Wong said that any expenditure over $5,000 that will extend the useful life of an asset or modify the kinds of services provided is defined as a capital expense. The definition is not always an absolute one. Mr. Hansen questioned why relocation of a fire station in the Coburg road area appeared as a high-priority item when an existing station there was closed. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 10, 1984 Page 1 .
