<br /> - -- <br />e Mr. Bennett felt it would be beneficial to hear a presentation on the effect <br /> user fees would have on the community and how their implementation would make <br /> Eugene competitive with other communities. <br /> Mayor Obie asked if it would be possible for staff to make a presentation <br /> which begins with a "hold harmlessll in certain segregated accounts and <br /> includes suggestions for maintaining the integrity of the system and a method <br /> for calculating changes from year to year. Ms. Schue said she is <br /> uncomfortable with the ideal of a Ilhold harmless" in view of the projected $1 <br /> million shortfall. <br /> Mr. Holmer asked if staff could present a proposal in December which has $2 <br /> million worth of proposed cuts so the council can make a choice. <br /> Mr. Gleason said in his next presentation before council he will try to <br /> separate accounts. He said the budget proposal may include the notion of <br /> "cost centers," a statement about what the current system would look like <br /> under a hold-harmless situation, and what adjustments will have to be made to <br /> the baselines of the cost centers in terms of revenue and/or productivity to <br /> achieve balance in the future. Mr. Gleason said he could also propose a <br /> whole series of balances within a cost center, but not a series of programs <br /> within a balance. <br /> Mayor Obie said Mr. Gleason will present the document detailing the cost <br /> center concept on October 24, 1988. He said the councilors should suggest <br /> changes in the policies by that date. <br />e At 8:10 p.m., Mayor Obie adjourned the work session to September 26, 1988. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> .~~ <br /> Micheal Gleason <br /> City Manager <br /> (Recorded by Tanya Northman) <br /> mncc 092088 <br />- MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 20, 1988 Page 5 <br />
