II. Intergovernmental Tax Study Request for Proposal Letter and memo distributed. Manager said the task force, comprised 4It of Finance staff, administrators, and mayors and commissioners of Lane County, Springfield, and Eugene had been meeting on the tax issue. It was concluded that defining the study and subjects to be considered, along with parameters, was' extremely complex. The Bureau of Governmental Research, University of Oregon, could do a preliminary review of the matter, define issues, develop substance of a request for proposals, and estimate study costs. That information would be brought back to the Committee for reference to the various governing bodies. The Bureau study would provide more precise information, at an estimated cost of $2,000. The cost would be shared on the basis of population of those participating, with Eugene's share between $800 and $850. Mr. Hamel moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to authorize pro- ceeding with the study by the Bureau of Governmental Research. Motion carried unanimously. III. Public Hearing: Easement Vacation (Idea Builders) (EV 77-7) Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission February 27, 1978.

However, the various utility companies located all their facilities at the rear of the lots; consequently, this easement was not used. Because all utilities are in, there is no need to retain the easement, and staff recommends its vacation. e. Public hearing was opened. AllenD.
