<br />H. tLegiSlative Information a'nd Communications Program, League of Oregon Ci'ties' - -\
<br />ICopies of letter from League of Oregon Cities was previously furnished to Council'\'
<br />!members. It asked for a voluntary assessment of $1,000 to help in expanding its \
<br />:legislative program in order to better represent cities at committee hearings and ,
<br />:provide more information on legislative issues. The assessment was computed at \
<br />129 per capita, with a maximum of $1,000 per city. Staff recommended participation \
<br />!because of the many legislative decisions which have a profound effect on the cost \
<br />iof municipal operations. \
<br />i . \
<br />!Mayor Anderson hoped the cost of the expanded program could be worked out within \
<br />I. , ,
<br />:the League's dues schedule. He noted, however, the importance of expediting the \
<br />[work in view of the forthcoming legislative session and some of the critical issues I
<br />Ifacing ci ties - revenues, environment, etc. In answer.;to Councilman Hershner wi th I
<br />iregard to preference for including the cost in the dues payment, Mayor Anderson I
<br />lagreed that it was because the payment would then be mandatory to cOVer the cost \
<br />[Of added personnel during the legislative sessions. '
<br />
<br />icounciiwoman Beal wond~red if the m~ney could be better used for a legislative
<br />~ lobbying fund. She felt Eugene had not received muc~ help from the League with
<br />.., past legislation in which the city was interested and that a person working for
<br />!Eugene interests alone would be more beneficial. Mayor Anderson recognized that
<br />the position the League had to take on most legislative issues in order to repre-
<br />(sent all 'the cities of Oregon might not necessarily be of special benefit to any
<br />!one of them. Man~ger noted that there had been many issues o~ special interest to
<br />: Eugene not supported by other Oregon cities on which there had been League support.
