<br />online comments. A number of presentations were made, including presentations to the Neighborhood <br />Leaders Council, local school districts, the University of Oregon and the League of Women Voters. <br />Based on the dissemination of information from the above-mentioned activities, the quantity of <br />responses received and the intent to broadly publicize the public hearing through advertising and news <br />releases, staff determined that a community workshop was not needed. <br /> <br />To date, approximately 40 responses have been received by telephone, e-mail, letter and the online <br />comment form. Comments included requests for fee estimates for specific properties, concerns about <br />the equity of the fee for those who don’t drive much, questions about how street repairs are prioritized, <br />and suggestions that gas taxes, property taxes or vehicle registration fees be used to fund transportation <br />services. <br /> <br />Staff will continue to offer presentations to community groups and will continue to monitor public <br />comments until the scheduled council action on the proposed TSMF on November 27. <br /> <br />Proposed Ordinance <br />The proposed ordinance (Attachment A) that is the subject of the October 16 public hearing is identical <br />to the ordinance reviewed by the council at the July 24, 2006, work session. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED COUNCIL GOALS AND POLICIES <br />The council’s Vision and Goals Statement with respect to Fair, Stable and Adequate Financial <br />Resources reaffirms its commitment to “a local government whose ongoing financial resources are <br />based on a fair and equitable system of taxation and other revenue sources and are adequate to maintain <br />and deliver municipal services.” The 2001-2002 City Council Work Plan Item 1 under this goal called <br />for an effort to “Identify and implement funding sources (including possible reallocation of existing <br />sources) for operation, maintenance and preservation of the transportation system.” Additionally, the <br />City’s Financial Management Goals and Policy, A.4, states that the City’s municipal service priority <br />Level 2 (second only to the preservation of the public safety system) is to “maintain and replace the <br />City’s fixed assets, which includes… infrastructure…so as to optimize their life.” <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />Option 1: Conduct a public hearing on the proposed ordinance and move forward to adoption with no <br />further revisions. <br />Option 2: Conduct the public hearing on the proposed ordinance and direct the City Manager to modify <br />the proposed ordinance prior to adoption. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends that the council consider input received at the public hearing and take <br />appropriate action on November 27 on the proposed ordinance establishing a transportation system <br />maintenance fee. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />None needed. <br /> L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M061016\S0610162.doc <br /> <br />
