WORK SESSION: EUGENE DECISIONS--DEVElOPMENT OF DETAILED STRATEGIES <br /> <br />John O'Connor of the City Manager's Office facilitated the meeting. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Linda Norris, Acting Assistant City Manager, reviewed a memorandum prepared <br />by Director of Public Safety Dave Whitlow regarding the costs of community <br />policing. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Nicholson regarding long-term reductions in <br />costs, Mr. Whitlow said that the long-range plan had not provided a specific <br />point at which costs would be reduced. Mr. Rutan pointed out that community <br />policing was designed to reduce costs in other areas. <br /> <br />Discussing the needed funding for the community policing component of the <br />Public Safety long-Range Plan, Mr. Robinette said that any funding mechanism <br />must provide funding for the ten-year life of the plan. The council agreed. <br />He suggested that the council chart the costs of the program and divide them <br />by ten. Mr. Boles said that funding the program over ten years would require <br />a commitment of about $45 million. Mr. Miller clarified that the costs of <br />the program do not reach $4.4 million until year 10. <br /> <br />Mr. Whitlow stressed that the figures in his memorandum were taken directly <br />from the council-adopted long-range public safety plan. He said that the <br />Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) had not developed figures showing the <br />final implementation costs of the plan before it referred it to the council <br />for adoption. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Boles, Mr. Whitlow said he would recommend <br />that the council fund a phase of the components described in the memorandum. <br />Mr. Boles asked about the costs of funding phase 1 across the three <br />components. Mr. Whitlow said that the cost was $1,722,021, as described in <br />the memorandum. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br />5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />April 22, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
