Original Message ..... <br />From: Mike Eide [mailto:mikee@clarkes-ind.com] <br />Sent: Friday, February20, 2004 5:38 PM <br />To: mayorandcc@ci.eugene.or.us <br />Subject: Toxics Fees <br /> <br />Mayor Jim Torry and city council members, <br /> <br />I am unable to attend the city council meeting scheduled for 2/23/04, so, on behalf of Clarke's Sheet Metal, I am <br />writing this email. <br />Clarke's has operated in Eugene for over 50 years and although we are not required to report our toxics we are <br />required to pay, this is inconsistent with the originial charter amendment, it is my understanding that only the <br />manufactures that are required to report would pay for this program. The proposed increase from $13.92 to $31.65 per <br />full time employee is not fair, times for small manufactures in this area are not good, our sales are down by 50% and <br />we are trying to keep the people we have employed. <br />Please,Please,Please find a way to stop this. <br /> <br />I think it's time to send this back to the voters, or add other industries, manufactures are not the only ones that create <br />waste. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time <br /> <br />Mike Eide <br />General Manager <br />Clarke's Sheet Metal, Inc. <br /> <br />2/24/2004 City Council Agenda page 642 <br /> <br /> <br />
