<br /> 6/23/71 Pacific Northwest Bell for some months to increase the franchise fee from 2% to 3% of
<br /> gross local, service rev~nues. Agreement has been reached on a new twenty-year franchise

<br /> accommodate a. general utility tax, in the event the city should ~dopt one. One item
<br /> still has not been agreed on, and when this has been completed, copies will be circulated
<br /> to Councilmen. ,__It is suggested the ordina~ce receive first reading June 28 and final
<br /> approval July l,:L
<br /> Mrs. Beal asked how the new franchise compared with that of other cities. It was
<br /> explained that most are going v 3% and that a ruling of the Public utilities Commissioner
<br /> establishes percentage limits which cities may charge which will not show back on customers
<br /> e bills. If those limits are exceeded, utility companies must indicate ,on bills anything
<br /> over that amount, whether in the form of utility tax or other means. Studies are being
<br /> made of a utility tax over all utilities.

<br /> J" Request for EWEB Water Service, Pacific Northwest Bell - Pacific Northwest Bell has
<br /> , .
<br /> 6/23/71 requested the city to authorize Eugene Water and Electric Board to provide water service
<br /> to its shop property outside the city limits north of Beltline west of Delta. In view
<br /> of the city's policy against extension of water service outside the city, it is felt that
<br /> recommendation should be made to Pacific Northwest Bell to request annexation. It would
<br /> be necessary to include some county-owned property to make the area contjguous. The ci ty
<br /> , could make no commitment on a schedule for available sewer service to the property.
<br /> "
<br /> ,
<br /> Mr. Barnhard, speaking for the telephone company, said there would be no problem since
<br /> II they did not anticipate a real need for at least two or three years.
<br /> In answer to Mrs. Beal,Manage'I: said this annexation would go to the Planning Commission
<br /> for recommendation andfuen to the Boundary Board for final determination. If it was
<br /> annexed, the city would have to provide the usual services.
