e VII. PUBLIC HEARING: CITY OF EUGENE FY89 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET #4 City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Warren Wong, Finance Division, was available to answer questions from the council. Answering a question from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Wong said a $33.4-million property tax levy would fund next year's budget. Assuming that the School District 4J levy passed, preliminary estimates indicate a $34.20-per-thousand assessment, subject to change as part of the Board of Equalization process. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, Mayor Miller closed the public hearing. CB 4143--An ordinance adopting a Supplemental budget; making appropriations for the City of Eugene for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1988, and ending June 30, 1989; and declaring an emergency. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at this time. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, 7:0. e Council Bill 4143 was read a second time by number only. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Ms. Schue, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Roll call vote; the motion carrying 6:1, with Councilor Holmer voting nay, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19619). VIII. PUBLIC HEARING: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ON AVALON STREET (JOB #1890) City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Les Lyle, Public Works Department, reported that the proposed project would improve a graveled section of road that provides access to Danebo Elementary School and the neighborhood to the east of Danebo. The Bethel School Board submitted a formal resolution requesting that the roadway be improved. A petition signed by 50 local residents in support of the improvement was also received. Mr. Lyle reported general concern regarding the safety of school children, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and said problems associated with maintaining graveled streets also should be considered. Owners of residentially zoned and currently developed property on the north side of Avalon do not support the improvement at this time. Lacking the required 50-percent support of property owners on both sides of the street to be improved, initiation of design and acquisition can only occur through City Council action. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 12, 1989 Page 8
