SB 1043 APPEARS TO SUPPORT THE FIRST PART OF <br /> THAT PRIORITY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SECOND. <br /> <br /> TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, THE NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER <br /> SALES REVENUE DEDICATED TO ROADS FOR LANE COUNTY <br /> ACCOUNTS FOR $19.8 MILLION OF THEIR $37.7 MILLION <br /> BUDGETED CURRENT-YEAR ROAD FUND REVENUE FOR FY05--OR <br /> NEARLY 53% OF THEIR ROAD FUNDING (NOT COUNTING ANY FUND <br /> CARRYOVER FROM PRIOR YEARS). SO, THIS BILL WOULD <br /> SUBJECT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE COUNTY'S <br /> CURRENTLY-DEDICATED ROAD FUNDING TO DISCRETIONARY USE <br /> FOR SCHOOLS--AND WE MIGHT EXPECT THAT THERE WOULD <br /> PROBABLY BE SIGNIFICANT LOCAL PRESSURE TO DO SO. <br /> <br /> ALMOST CERTAINLY ANYTHING DIVERTED FROM THE LC ROAD <br /> FUND TO SCHOOLS WOULD COME OUT OF MONIES OTHERWISE <br /> AVAILABLE TO LC CITIES (I.E., THROUGH REVENUE SHARING). <br /> <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE IGR STAFF GET THE SENSE OF <br /> THE IGR COMMITTEE ON THIS ISSUE BUT THAT THE CITY TAKE <br /> A MONITOR POSITION FOR NOW TO AVOID LOBBYING WHAT MAY <br /> BE A VERY CONTENTIOUS ISSUE FOR LOC AND AOC. IF THE <br /> BILL STARTS MOVING, STAFF COULD USE THE PRELIMINARY <br /> DIRECTION FROM THE IGR COMMITTEE AS A STARTING PLACE <br /> AND COME BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR A MORE ROBUST <br /> DISCUSSION. <br /> <br /> PATTY <br /> CS-FMS <br /> BOYLE <br /> <br /> COMMENTS: <br /> <br />http://ceonline/celeg/reports/BillsDetail.asp 6/2/2005 <br /> <br /> <br />
