Oregon Local Budget Law requires the City to conduct a public hearing to receive testimony on the FY20 City of Eugene budget as recommended by the Budget Committee and on the proposed uses of the State Revenue Sharing funds. Resolutions electing to receive State Revenue Sharing funds and certifying that the City of Eugene provides municipal services required for receipt of state-shared revenues are also required in order to continue receiving those funds under Oregon Revised Statutes 221.760 and 221.770. Finally, ORS 294.456 requires the City Council to pass a resolution adopting the budget, making appropriations, and determining, levying and categorizing the ad valorem property taxes for the next fiscal year. BACKGROUND The City Council has consistently met the provision of the Oregon Local Budget Law which requires that a jurisdiction adopts an annual budget by June 30 of each year. If a jurisdiction elects to receive State Revenue Sharing funds, it also must hold a public hearing on the proposed uses of the funds and adopt resolutions or ordinances electing to receive the funds and certifying that the City provides qualifying municipal services. Financial and Resource Considerations Financial and resource considerations are detailed in the FY20 Proposed Budget document, available at www.eugene-or.gov/budget, and in the Budget Committee meeting materials, which are available at www.eugene-or.gov/budgetcommittee.
