Information from Special Legislative Session Mr. Henry stated that the Lane County and Metropolitan Area boundary commissions have been funded for the remainder of this fiscal year on a 70-percent State--30-percent local share basis. Since one-third of the local contribution is to come from filing fees, Eugene1s voluntary contribution will be approximately the same amount committed earlier this year, just under $5,000. The June 30, 1981, sunset date remains in effect and due to lack of legislative support, a third boundary commission covering Marion and Polk counties and part of Yamhill County will be dissolved December 1, 1980.
