e e e streets that required paving. Mr. Ball said he did not want to get the council involved in studying individual street projects. Mr. Obie asked for suggestions on reaching the total dollar figure for this area. Mr. Ball said he felt confident with the accuracy of the figures. Ms. Smith returned to the meeting at this time. Mr. Holmer said the figures listed appeared appropriate. Mr. Obie stated that a general consensus had been reached on this item. With regard to non-street-related projects, Ms. Schue said staff had stated that a backlog of approximately $4 million existed before starting the accrual. Mr. Ball said it was clear that politics will not allow the funding of capital priorities without a specifically targeted revenue source. Mr. Gleason noted that the Library and Airport were not included in the list of non-street- related capital projects. Mr. Ball asked whether the council was willing to identify and pass a targeted revenue source for capital projects. He referred to the City of Springfield actions in this regard. Ms. Schue commented that Springfield had held a hearing to inform the public of the situation, something which Eugene has not done. Mr. Obie suggested that the council study capital projects at a later date. Mr. Ball commented that the council should also study what other jurisdictions are doing in this area. Mr. Ball commented that the council had passed a method for funding the Hult Center and other deficits in a funding program including other revenue sources. He stated that the resolution was that the council would come back to the General Fund if other revenue sources were not found. He stressed the neces- sity of addressing the issue. The meeting was adjourned at 1:10 p.m. Resp~ctf .. ?? .olJ~ . ~ Micheal D. Gleason City Manager (Recorded by Thom Strunk) TS: vr/CM7 a8 MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 23, 1984 Page 7
