e e e component 131 concurrently with 134. He said that component 131 should be in one strategy and 134A in the other. Mayor Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Green, to include component 131, which would investigate savings regarding maintenance of street trees resulting from addressing life safety issues, as the highest priority, and support the program entirely with Road Funds. Mr. Rutan pointed out that this motion would not reduce the amount of mainte- nance on street trees. However, it would reduce additional programs funded with the Road Fund. Mr. Nicholson said that this decision is contingent on decisions about revenues. Mr. MacDonald said that if this motion passes, the public should have information regarding the effects it would have on programs supported by the Road Fund. Mr. Rutan said that all the components will result in some programs not being funded. He said that neither the council nor staff know exactly which ones. The motion failed, 4:3 (Ms. Bascom, Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. Rutan in support). The council agreed, by consensus, to place component 131 in the "deferred" category. Regarding component 134, Mr. Mounts said that this would reduce program funding from $450,000 to $225,000. Mayor Miller clarified that $450,000 is the total cost from the general fund from all street tree maintenance. Mr. Mounts stated that all the street tree crews are Public Works employees. Mr. MacDonald thought that $225,000 would not be adequate to support life safety issues and would not be sustainable. The council agreed, by consensus, to exclude component 134. Mayor Miller expressed a desire to place component 131 in Strategy A. Mr. MacDonald said that he would require more information that certain services supported by the Road Fund would be continued. l. ComDonent 144 and 145. Athletic Services Mr. Mounts said that the alternative to 145A is component 144A. In response to a question from Mr. Green, Mr. Mounts said that approximately 70 percent of the fees from field use would fund youth athletic programs. Mr. Mounts added that component 144A addresses only adult athletic programs. Mr. MacDonald moved, seconded by Mr. Nicholson, to include component 144A, alternative 1, which would increase fees for all adult athletic programs, over a two-three year period to recover 73 percent of full cost ($101,000). In response to a question from Mr. Rutan, Mr. Mounts said that it is possible to achieve alternative 1 of component 144A. Mr. Rutan expressed concern that MINUTES--Eugene City Council 5:30 p.m. April 20, 1992 Page 6
