D. LOC Bulletin e Mr. Henry noted that congress has not re-enacted revenue sharing but the Lame Duck session starts November 12 and will finish before Christmas. This bulletin urges contact with the legislators to express how very important Federal revenue sharing is to cities. Eugene receives about $3 million per year which is used for operations. If revenue sharing is not reinstated, it would have a consider- able impact, although it would not be as bad as passage of Ballot Measure 6. E. Meetings Mr. Henry stated that on November 5~ there will be a demonstration of the new fire fighting equipment at the Airport. This equipment was financed by the airlines and the Federal government. An executive session of the council will be held at 1:30, November 5, following the regular council meeting to screen City Manager applications. The Eugene Performing Arts Commission will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the McNutt Room, November 5. The Civic Center Commission will meet in Municipal Court Room 1, November 6. There is a department head retreat scheduled beginning this evening through Friday afternoon. Pat Larion will be acting in capacity as City Manager. II. ROUTINE ITEMS FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL A.

Finance Resolutions (memo distributed) Mr. Henry stated that these resolutions transfer moneys into the contingency fund and out again to cover various expenses since formal adoption of the budget, June 30.

Loren Stubbert, Budget Officer, Bill McGuire, Finance Director, and Randy Miller, CETA Program, could answer questions. Mr. Delay asked if the $25,000 for mall patrol was for a new position. Mr. Stubbert responded that in 1980-81, the Downtown Development District budgeted $25,000 for an additional patrol officer on the mal'. It is easier to have this person's time coded to the general fund although the money is received on a contractual basis from ODD. He said this is a shift in the way this is accounted for, not new funds. . Res. No. 3436--A resolution authorizing the transfer of non-contingency appropriations within a given fund between official budget categories.
