ITEMS FROM MAYOR & COUNCIL, APPOINTMENTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AGENDA ADJUSTMENTS A. Checkoff for the Arts Councilor Wooten encouraged Eugene citizens to consider the $1 checkoff for the arts on the State Income Tax forms. This money will be matched by the Oregon Commission for the Arts. B. Council Chamber Decor Ms. Miller noted that the decor in the Council Chamber was somewhat bleak. Carol Baker, Community Relations Director, stated that blooming plants would be brought in to the Council Chamber to help brighten things up. C. Joint Meeting on County Tax Base Ms. Miller stated that she had attended the joint meeting of Lane County/Spring- field/Eugene regarding the county's tax base. This meeting was well-attended. They discussed the county tax base issue and the fact that the county critically needs to be able to pass this measure. Without it, needed services cannot be provided. She is urging support from the various municipalities for this proposed rearrangement of funding. The cities seem supportive of the idea of the county taking over the responsibility for the jail. Another meeting will be held next week. Councilor Lindberg arrived at the meeting. D. Councilor Request Ms. Schue stated that a presentation from the Citizen Involvement Committee on possible changes to the Zoning Board of Appeals was made about three months ago. She asked that the proposed changes be brought back before the council. MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 17, 1982 Page 1
