Welcome Mrs. Beal Back from Europe - Mayor Anderson welcomed back Mrs. Beal,' <br />who has been absent from Council since December 10 because of a trip to <br />Europe. <br /> <br />W. County-Wide Library Service - Mr. Murray'reported-ittending a meeting, in <br />Mrs. Beal's absence, on Saturday, January 9, regarding establish~ent of <br />countywide library service. Tne primary feature of that meeting was a <br />presentation by Mrs. Dalton, who has been hired by the County to study <br />the feasibility of having such countywide service. Also in attendance, <br />said Mr. Murray, were members of the Library Board as well as Librarian <br />James Meeks. <br /> <br />", <br /> <br />The basic proposal was to share existing City services on a countywide <br />basis, accomplished through a tax, levied countywide, of 10 cents per <br />$1000 valuation. Eugeneans currently pay 59 cents per $1000 valuation <br />for Eugene library services. According to Mr. Murray, in return for <br />shuring, the local government would hopefully receive back the 10 cents. <br />per $1000 to be plugged back into the library facility. The central <br />dec,ision-making body fora-new countywide system-tvould Tiiclu&? the chief- <br />library representative of each jurisdiction. <br /> <br />Mr. Murray's opinion was that the proposal is frauyht tvi th clangi.~rs for <br />. the Ci ty of Eugene. On the cost question alone, Eugeneans would pay 69 <br />cents per $1000 valuation and people in unincorporat;;d ilreClS '''ou_Ld pay <br />only 10 cents but would receive the same services. There are also dangers <br />in diffusion of control plus uncertainty as to whether the money will come <br />back to benefit the Eugene service; also, is 10 cents per $1000 enough to <br />provide the proposed service? Mr. Murray Would ask that Mr. Meeks and <br />members of t~e library board be asked to attend a Committee-of-the-Whole <br />meeting as soon as possible for the purpose of establishing a position <br />on the matter. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Mrs. Beal noted she had attended an earlier discussion on the matter but <br />'was waiting to report back to Council pending some decision by the <br />Library Board. She agreed wi th points raised by Mr. Murray, adding it <br />is unfortunate to be one of the only areas in the state without countywide <br />library service; however, the proposal under discussion does not seem at <br />all advantageous to the city of Eugene. Mrs. Beal thought any Council <br />action should await recommendation from the Library Board on whether to <br />proceed. According to Manager, a written report is forthcoming on the <br />proposal and he will talk to th.e Librarian regarding the timing of that: <br />report. <br /> <br />1/26/76 - 26 <br /> <br />52 <br /> <br />Comm <br />1/14/76 <br />File <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Comm <br />1/14/76 <br />File <br /> <br />Comm <br />1/14/76 <br />File <br /> <br />Comm <br />1/14/76 <br />File <br /> <br />1/1~~;: . <br />File <br /> <br />e <br />
