<br /> projects Could be-expected. The subcommi tte~ al~io- expressf:ia- the opinion th:~t until
<br /> a more definite program can be submitted to the voters the corrections facilities
<br /> ,project should be deferred, with the idea that a measure may be submitted when the
<br /> /City's role and financing responsibility are more clearly defined. -
<br /> .
<br /> The measures recommended for presentation to the voters in November total $13.9
<br /> million. Ballot titles are being prepared by the City Attorney's office for con-
<br /> sideration at the August 28 Council meeting.
<br /> Councilman McDonald was concerned with the prospect of annual budget elections to
<br /> · meet bond retiremsint and operating costs. Assistant Manager cited examples of
<br /> maintenance to existing streets and sewers which could be expected to cost more
<br /> than the bond iss Iles. Also, with the spiraling cost of land, if park lands are
<br /> not acquired now ,it is felt the City will not have the ability to finance purchase
<br /> when it is needed. Possible impact on insurance rates would have a bearing on
<br /> construction and operation of fire stations. Assistant Manager said the argument
<br /> could be made wi th regard to the housing fund that it would save loss of housing
<br /> resources which would occur if nothing is done at this time. And that it is
<br /> projected the aud.itorium/convention center will cover its own operating expenses.
<br /> ~ CounCilman' Hershner asked about Eugene's fire insurance rating should the proposea
<br /> 'fire protection projects not be approved. Assistant Manager explained the diffi-
<br /> culty in giving a firm answer because of individual ratings on industrial and com-
<br /> ,mercial properties in the City by various insurance companies, even though the
<br /> base rate to a degree is tied to the fire rating the City has. Dick Jones, Fire .
<br /> :Department, reported that the present Class 3 rating was narrowly maintained dur-
<br /> ing the last grading. Assistant Manager also noted that there is no certainty
<br /> 'the City could maintain a Class 3 rating even with addition of the proposed sub-
<br /> ,stations.
<br /> ,
<br /> LCouncilman McDonald commented that emphasis in the rati~g programs has been on
<br /> ;industrial and commercial properties, but that residential properties in outlying
<br /> areas are in need of the added protection which would be provided,by proposed new
<br /> ,stations and equipment. Comm
