<br />3. PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION: Resolution 4934 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making <br />Appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2007, and Ending June 30, <br />2008 <br /> <br />Budget Manager Kitty Murdoch provided an overview of the second Supplemental Budget for FY08. She said it was <br />much briefer than the previous supplemental budget and encompassed changes in only three funds: the General <br />Fund, the Community Development Block Grant Fund and the Wastewater Treatment Fund. She reviewed details of <br />the changes as set forth in the agenda materials. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing and reviewed the rules for providing testimony. <br /> <br />John Barofsky <br />, 2010 Hubbard Lane, Eugene, stated that the supplemental budget appeared to be unobtrusive at first <br />glance, but he had some questions about the use of $65,000 to collect annexation fees. He reiterated his concern that <br />there should be a mechanism for involving the Budget Committee in the supplemental budget process to increase <br />public participation. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy closed the hearing and invited comments from the council. <br /> <br />Council Bettman thanked Mr. Barofsky for his comments and noted that he was a member of the Budget Committee. <br />She said she would support the supplemental budget and noted that the $65,000 would be used to process annexation <br />requests once the City assumed that responsibility from the Lane County Local Government Boundary Commission. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark asked about a large volume of annexation requests recently submitted by the City on December 31, <br />2007, prior to abolishment of the boundary commission. City Manager pro tem Angel Jones said she would provide <br />a memorandum explaining the submission. <br /> <br />Councilor Pryor, seconded by Councilor Bettman, moved to adopt Resolution 4934 adopting a Sup- <br />plemental Budget; making appropriations for the City of Eugene for Fiscal Year beginning July 1, <br />2007, and ending June 30, 2008. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 6:0. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting of the Eugene City Council and convened a meeting of the Eugene Urban <br />Renewal Agency. <br /> <br /> <br />4.

She said the properties to be <br />purchased were the Centre Court Building and adjacent subsurface lot, the Washburne building and the Diamond <br />property. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing and reviewed the rules for providing testimony. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council March 10, 2008 Page 3 <br /> Public Hearing <br /> <br />
