be instituted in collaboration with the City of Springfield and that it not exceed five cents per gallon. <br />Mr. Mulligan stated strongly that, in light of the current political climate, it would be ill-advised for the <br />City of Eugene to individually implement a gas tax; rather, that a cooperative implementation with <br />Springfield would be the best approach. <br />Ms. Solomon pointed out that the City Council could set up a TUF that would collect less revenue than <br />that of the recommendation put forth by the committee. <br />Mr. Mulligan urged that the committee recommend that the standard, industry-specific measures be used to <br />determine trip generation charges. Mr. Bonnett said he was not comfortable with the inclusion of such <br />language in the motion but would not vote against it. There was additional discussion on appropriate <br />language. <br />Mr. Wanichek moved, seconded by Mr. Mulligan, as follows: <br />We, the citizen members of the Eugene Budget Committee, recommend that the City Council implement a <br />transportation funding package consisting of a combination local motor vehicle fuel and transportation <br />utility fee, collaborating with the City of Springfield on the motor vehicle fuel tax, for the purpose of <br />generating an additional $9 million (FY02 dollars) each year to address the City’s transportation system <br />funding needs. We further recommend the use of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip <br />Generation Manual as a basis for the transportation utility fee. <br />MINUTES- Citizen Subcommittee of the Budget Committee September 19, 2001Page 13 <br />
