<br />DATED APRIL 30, 1959 FROM COUNCILMAN C. t. SHeARER:

<br />
<br />"I HAVE PURPOSELY DELAYED PERSONAL COMMENT ON fUTURE PLANS tOR THE CITY
<br />WITH THE HOPE THAT SEVERAL MATTER~ WOULD BE SOMEWHAT MORE CLARIFIED WITH
<br />THE STUDY OF THIS YEARS BUDGET AND THE PRESENTATION OF OUR SEWER STUDY FOR
<br />WEST EUGENE.

<br />IT SEEMS HOWEVER THAT THE COUNCIL IS ANXIOUS TO HAVE THESE REPORTS IN
<br />HAND SO I WILL PROCEED TO OYTLINE AND PRESENT HEREWITH THE ITEMS WHICH I
<br />REGARD AS MUST BUSINESS IN THE PERIOD IMMED.ATELY AHEAD.

<br />
<br />(I) IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OUR.PROBLEM OF SANITATION AND SURFACE ORAINAGE
<br />MUST RECEIVE OUR fiRST ATTENTION IN CAPITAL OUTLAYS SINCE IT INVOLVES NOT
<br />ONLY THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE WITHIN OUR CITY LIMITS BUT IS NOW CONSTITUTING
<br />THE NUMBER ONE DETERRENT TO ANNEXATION IN SOME OF THE MOST DESIRABLE AND
<br />LOGICAL AREAS fOR fUTURE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE SOUTHWEST PART OF
<br />THE CITY.
<br />
<br />I BELIEVE WE SHOULD AS DISCUSSED BY YOU AND THE WRITER PREVIOUSLY,
<br />PROCEED TO REQUEST THE WATER BOARD TO INCREASE THE WATER USERS FEE OF $1.00
<br />TO $2.00 PER .MONTH FOR METERS DIRECTLY UNDER THE WATER BOARD AND MAKE COM-
<br />PARABLE INCREASES IN THIS SURCHARGE TO WATER DISTRICTS CONTIGUOUS TO OUR
<br />SYSTEM AND BUYING WATER fROM EWEB. THIS INCREASE IS NOT ONLY A GOOD REVE-
<br />NUE MEASURE BUT HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF REACHING MANY FAMILIES WHO LIVE IN
<br />RENTAL UNITS AND ARE NOT DIRECTLY REACHED BY THE REAL PROPERTY TAX. THIS
<br />SHOULD BRING IN ~PPROX $165,000 ADDITIONAL ANNUAL REVENUE. OUR SANITATION
<br />PROBLEM IS A METROPOLITAN ONE AND ANY HEADWAY WE MAKE IN SOLVING IT WILL
<br />BRING US SO MUCH CLOSER TO A SOLUTION FOR THE fRINGE AREAS AS WELL.

<br />TARY AND STORM SEWER CONSTRUCTION; WITH THIS MEASURE SHOULD GO A COMPANION
<br />MEASURE AUTHORIZING A BONO ISSUE SO THAT AN IMMEDIATE START CAN BE MADE ON
