~ . Mr. Anderson stated that the Eugene Performing Arts Center has requested this ordinance to allow performers and vendors to be paid on the night of the event and to also allow patrons to use bank cards for purchases.

PUBLIC HEARINGS A. City-County Tax Base Election (resolution distributed) 4It Mr. Gleason introduced Gary Long, Administrative Services. Mr. Long stated that he had distributed copies of the summary memo describing the Countyls circumstances if their tax base measure does not pass in the election. The Lane County Commissioners passed, in concept, the intergovern- mental agreement yesterday. The criteria for the process are: any agreement must be mutual, there must be time deadlines, and the commissioners would honor contractual agreements within their limited resources. He also requested a report back on how the road funds are being used. Commissioner Rust is con- cerned about the overcrowding at the jail and that is to be addressed. Staff recommends that the council read and study the information before taking final action. Public hearing was opened; there being no testimony, public hearing was closed. Ms. Wooten asked for a point of clarification. Mr. Long responded that the commissioners want to separate their tax base issue from the proposed inter- governmental agreement. Ms. Miller agreed that this item should be held over. She would like to see a Lane County government that is able to function and a proposal that the City can support. She also wants to see that citizens receive equity with their tax payments. Ms. Schue noted agreement. She would like to have the City be able to support the Countyls tax base. - Mr. Long stated that the Countyls endorsement of the concept is some progress. It is a very complex issue, and the commissioners I agenda is very overwhelming. MINUTES--Eugene City Council April 21, 1982 Page 4
