Ii ,: Ii The City Maneger said that s,ince the committee meeting, a request was received from the Lane Coupty II ji Sheriff's office to include in the city billing an amount of approximately $13,000 to cover c0StS,~ based upon the assumption that the city of Eugene was in' charge of the proceedings and that the I I I: Sheriff's Department was helping in the instance involved. i I I: Councilwoman Hayward asked if the Lane County Sheriff's office had a contract with the U. of 0., and thought that they would want two separate billings. il ,I The City Manager said that they did not have a contract with the University of Oregon, rI and that I: they were responding to a request from the city of Eugene for additional manpower. The city " iI billing was not based upon the U. ofO. contract, which would cover only a small portion of the Ii :i $33,000. II - Ii A vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried. 'I I; 3. Harriet House, Request for Funds - The Police Department has confirmed facts as outlined in 'I a letter received from Mrs. Vivien Hinton requesting funds to assist with a facility to II Ii serve fema~e alcoholics.

II II Contributions to Buckley House and Halfway House have been on the basis of services per- I: formed which are of city benefit. II " II Mrs. Hayward said that the budget committee had recommended the formation of a committee I! to act on such requests . Dr. Purdy said that this committee would meet in the near future, Ii but that this would not solve the present problem. Ii Ii Councilman Mohr said that there are a number of other agencies who have been looking to " I! the development of a detoxification center for the eity. i: u I , Mr. Hinton said that Buckley House does some detoxification, but that this is practically i! all male, and in the interim there is still a need for help for women. He said that they were asking for help with the rent, and that $1,000 would cover the rent for 7 or 8 months. , II I II I' )1 No action taken.
