<br /> Miller stated she would like to see Mr. Delay's proposal followed up for <br /> all interjurisdictional agreements. She does not know how a formula could <br /> . be done, but would suggest authorizing a larger per capita contribution of <br /> Lane County or Springfield. She is not certain that the cities contribute <br /> more than the others. Mr. Lieuallen feels participation should continue. <br /> Mr. Obie noted there never seems to be an appropriate time to deal with <br /> intergovernmental agreements. The only way to deal with the issue and <br /> have them clarified is to deal with them as they come up. He stated he is <br /> only willing to see the City participate on a fair share basis. <br /> Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Mr. Haws, to continue to participate <br /> in the LEIC program for the next 12 months up to a maximum of <br /> $18,168 on a fair share basis with the City's per capita contribu- <br /> tion matching that of Springfield or Lane County, whichever is <br /> greater. <br /> Mr. Haws noted that any funds that have been set aside for participation <br /> in LEIC but that would go above the fair share amount could be set aside <br /> for the City's own economic program. <br /> Mr. Delay noted he opposes the motion and feels it is a piecemeal <br /> approach to the problem. He feels that there are many problems like this <br /> one and they should be dealt with comprehensively. Mr. Lieuallen noted <br /> agreement with Mr. Delay. He feels the time and place for dealing with <br /> this matter at the council meeting is not appropriate. He stated that <br /> there have been problems every time the City has been involved in an <br /> . intergovernmental agreement. He feels that continuing participation <br /> should occur only when it serves the City's best interest. <br /> Ms. Miller stated she does not feel it is a piecemeal approach and thinks <br /> it is the only way the council can take on the problems, since each of <br /> them are different. She does feel, however, that is appropriate to modify <br /> th~ City's contribution based on what the other jurisidictions contribute. <br /> Mr. Haws stated support for the motion. The City gets involved in <br /> projects and then stops funding them. He feels the City's fair share <br /> should be spent and no more. Mr. Obie noted that the agreement was <br /> devised on a fair share basis, and that is how support should continue. <br /> There is an obligation to the city voters. The council must maintain its <br /> creditability, not pay other jurisdictions' bills. <br /> Mr. Hamel stated that perhaps the City should not participate in this at <br /> all . He has noticed improvement in the last two years and hopes that that <br /> improvement will continue. He felt the City should continue to partici- <br /> pate in the LEIC. <br /> Mr. Delay noted it is the process that disturbs him. <br /> Mayor Keller stated that he feels the council should support this budget <br /> request and deliver a letter of intent to the other jurisdictions for the <br /> future. He noted that he hoped the council would vote against the motion. <br /> . <br /> 7/9/80--9 <br />
