<br />BELIEf JOINT MEETINGS Of THE GOVERNING BOOIES Of THE VARIOUS POLITICAL SUB-
<br />DIVISIONS COULD PROVE TO BE QUITE BENEfiCIAL TO ALL CONCERNED.
<br />
<br />I. DISCUSSION Of COORDINATING REQUESTS fOR fUNDS ABOVE 6% LIMITATIONCBY SCHOOL
<br />BOARD AND CITY - IT WAS STATED THAT IT APPEARS AT THE PRESENT TIME THAT SCHOOL
<br />DISTRICT #4 WILL BE GOING TO THE PEOPLE ON MARCH I, 1960 REQUESTING APPROVAL
<br />fOR ADOITIONAL fUNDS AND THAT THE CITY WILL LIKEWISE BE GOING TO THE PEOPLE
<br />AT THE PRIMARY ELECTION REQUESTING ADDITIONAL fUNDS fOR A WIDE RANGE Of PUR-
<br />POSES. WITH RESPECT TO THE CiTY IT WAS INDICATED THERE IS A NEED fOR fUNDS
<br />TO fiNANCE THE PARKS PROGRAM, THE STREET PROGRAM, A PROPOSED NEW CITY HALL,
<br />POSSIBLY fOR THE AIRPORT PROGRAM, AND THE LEVIES CURRENTLY PROPOSED fOR THOSE
<br />PROGRAMS CURRENTLY BEING'flNANCEO WOULO UNDOUBTEDLY BE HIGHER IN THE NEXT TEN
<br />YEARS THAN IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. WITH RESPECT TO T.HE SCHOOL DISTRICT IT WAS
<br />INDICATED THEY LIKEWISE ARE fACING A fINANCIAL PROBLEM WITH THE RAPID POPULA-
<br />TION GROWTH Of THE AREA AND AS A CONSEQUENCE ARE HAVING TO PROVIDE PERSONNEL
<br />AND fACILITIES AT A RAPID RATE TO PROVIDE fOR THE EDUCATION Of THE CHILDREN
<br />Of THE COMMUNITY.
<br />
<br />WITH RESPECT TO THE POSSIBLE COORDINATION Of LEVIES TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE
<br />PEOPLE IT WAS INDICATED THAT THIS PROBABLY COULD NOT BE DONE ON A SHORT TERM
<br />BASIS BUT WOULD Of NECESSITY HAVE TO BE ON A LONG RANGE BASIS. IT WAS fUR-
<br />THER STATED THAT ALL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES MUST BE CONCERNED WITH WHAT THE
<br />TAXPAYERS WILL SUPPORT, AND If THE TAXPAYERS DO NOT SUPPORT REQUESTS fOR
<br />ADDITIONAL fUNDS, THEN ALL THAT CAN BE DONE IS ELIMINATE SOME Of THE SER-
<br />VICES AND EXPENDITURES WHICH ARE PROPOSED.
<br />
<br />WITH RESPECT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IT WAS INDICATED If THE SERIAL LEVY AND
<br />BOND ISSOE SHOULD BE TURNED DOWN BY THE PEOPLE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD
<br />HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO DOUBLE SHifT SCHOOLS AND If THE VOTERS SHOULD
<br />NOT APPROVE fUNDS BEYOND THE AMOUNT LEGALLY WITHIN THE 6% LIMITATION, THEY
<br />WOULD HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO GO BACK TO THE PEOPLE AND REQUEST fUNDS A
<br />SECOND OR THIRD TIME.
<br />
<br />IN THE GENERAL DISCUSSION IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE CIT'Y AND SCHOOL DISTRICT
<br />SHOULD TRY TO BRING THEIR ISSUES TO THE PEOPLE AT DiffERENT, TIMES. IT WAS
<br />fURTHER SUGGESTED THAT AN INVESTIGATION Of THE POSSIBILITY Of fIXED MILLAGE
<br />BE GIVEN AND SOME DISCUSSION WAS GIVEN AS TO THE TOTAL POSSIBLE MILLAGE RATE
<br />WHICH MIGHT COME ABOUT If ALL Of THE EXISTING ITEMS TO BE PLACED BEfORE THE
<br />PEOPLE WERE APPROVED. MAYOR CONE INDICATED THAT AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME HE
<br />BELIEVES HAVING BOTH POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS GOING TO THE PEOPLE IN THE SAME
<br />YEAR WOULD' BE GOOD, HE BEL IEVES 'THAT BUS I NESS I S GOOD, T'HAT THE- ,AREA I S PRO-
<br />GRESSING, AND THAT BY AND LARGE, 'IT WILL- BE k GOOD YEAR fOR THE PEOP,LE IN
<br />THE AREA. No fORMAL ACTION WAS TAKEN ON THIS ITEM.
<br />
<br />DISCUSSION Of JOINT DEVELOPMENT AND USE Of fACiLITIES fOR RECREATION AND
<br />PARKS PROGRAM - THE PARKS & RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT EXPLAINED THE NEED
<br />fOR NEW PARK AREAS IN THE CITY Of EUGENE AND IN THE IMMEDIATE PERIPHERAL
<br />AREA Of THE CITY. HE fURTHER INDICATED THAT AT THIS TIME THE CITY AND THE
<br />SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE COOPERATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION Of AMAZON
<br />PARK, THE PARK NEAR THOMAS JEffERSON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, NEAR THE IDA PATTE~
<br />SON SCHOOL, AND AT ELLIS PARKER SCHOOL. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE CITY AND
<br />THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE ADOPTED IN PRINCIPLE THE COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT
<br />AND OPERATION Of THE AREAS, BUT THERE STILL REMAINS THE PROBLEM Of THE CO-
<br />ORD I NATED ACQUI STT I ON AND DEVELOPMENT Of EX I ST I NG AND NEW AREAS TO BENEff'T
<br />THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. IT WAS STATED THAT THE INTEGRATED FACILITIES
<br />ENHANCE EACH OTHER AND CAN BE DONE AT CONSIDERABLY LESS COST THAN If
<br />SEPARATE AND DISTINCT fACILITIES ARE DEVELOPED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
<br />
<br />THE PARKS & RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT OUTLINED THE NEEDS Of THE VAR)OUS
<br />AREAS Of THE CITY AND 'INDICATED HE ANTICIPATES PROBLEMS RELATING TO DEVELOP-
<br />HiST VS. ACQUISITION Of PARK LANDS. HE fURTHER POINTED OUT THAT JOINT
<br />PLANNING AND JOINT OEVELOPMENT IS A KEY TO THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IN SOME
<br />INSTANCES IT 'BECOMES EXTREMELY DIffiCULT fOR THE CITY TO MEET THE NEEDS Of
<br />THE SCHOOL 'DISTRICT SINCE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S OEVELOPMENT IS PRIMARILY
<br />IN NEW PERIPHERAL AREAS Of THE CITY.
<br />
<br />SOME 'Of -THE SPECifiC BENEfiTS Of JOINT OPERATION THAT WERE POINTED OUT WERE
<br />JOINT ~CQUISITIONOf LAND AREAS SO THAT BOTH AG~NCIES HAVE MORE LAND TO USE
<br />, ,
<br />fOR SPECifiC PURPOSES THAN THEY WOULD HAVE WERE THERE INDIVIDUAL LAND AC-
<br />Q~ISITIONS, THE POSSIBILITY Of JOINT USE Of LAND, THE POSSIBILITY Of INDOOR
<br />fACILITIES fOR PARKS AND RECREATION PURPOSES, ALL Of WHICH fACTORS PROVIDE
<br />fOR AS GOOD OR BETTER SCHOOL fACILITIES AND AS GOOD OR BETTER RECREATION
<br />fACILITIES AT LESS COST IN TOTAL TO'THE TAXPAYERS.
<br />
<br />THE PARKS & RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT fURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THERE ARE ADDI-
<br />TIONAL AREAS TO EXPLORE INCLUDING THE MAINTENANCE Of PARK AREAS AND SCHOOL
<br />AREAS ON AN INTEGRATED BASIS.
