Regarding LCARA, Councilor Meisner stressed that even though City residents pay County <br />taxes, they were expected to pay separately and in addition for cattery services for the City of <br />Eugene. He said that the City needed to renegotiate this and felt uncertain as to how to approach <br />it. He noted that several people had suggested that the City should find funding solutions through <br />licensing, and responded that the licensing program was a County program and not under the <br />jurisdiction of the City. He related that the county commissioners had instigated the formation of <br />an animal regulation task force more than a year ago and had yet to provide a report on this to the <br />City. <br /> <br />Councilor Papd expressed appreciation to Ms. Blackburn for delving into potential solutions to <br />the funding issues for the cattery. He commented that the budget process had been "gut- <br />wrenching" and many needed services had been cut out. He welcomed ideas on how programs <br />could be re-funded, noting that the eight councilors and the eight citizen members of the Budget <br />Committee had not been able to provide such funding given the current fiscal limitations. <br /> <br />Councilor Pap6 requested staff to look into the possibility of taking new aerial photographs to aid <br />in the Goal 5 inventory process. <br /> <br />Councilor Pap6 stated, regarding the Neighborhood Matching Grant program, that due to <br />budgetary constraints, there had been no alternative to the elimination of the program. <br /> <br />Additionally, Councilor Pap~ supported a work session on the transportation systems <br />management fee, but expressed his opposition to any repeal of it. He remarked that a lot of work <br />had gone into the formulation of the fee. He opined that the allowance of some of the funding to <br />go into operations had alienated some of the support for the fee. <br /> <br />2. CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br /> A.
