Johnson indicated the council would consider the alley vacation soon; he noted that Mr. Rayor had <br />requested a work session on the hospital designation, and the request needed the support of two <br />more councilors. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor reported on her recent attendance at a meeting of the National League of Cities' <br />Steering Committee on Human Development. She said the committee would recommend that <br />temporary assistance to needy families focus more on getting people out of poverty, not just off of <br />welfare. The committee expressed strong support for a tracking system to see how people <br />progressed after they left welfare. The committee also talked a great deal about education because <br />it was a strong focus for the Policy Committee, which recommended to the steering committee <br />what it should discuss. That generally resulted in committee discussion about the appropriateness <br />of the topic given that most cities do not oversee education. There was concern expressed about <br />testing and schools "teaching for the test." Ms. Taylor said the committee also discussed faith- <br />based initiatives, with strong feelings on both sides. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ said he followed Mayor Torrey's progress on the New York Goodwill Tour with <br />interest. He wished him a speedy and safe return. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ asked if, at some point, the City was going to address the complaints made by citizens <br />about the design of Ayres Road. Mr. Johnson indicated that Public Works Department Director <br />Kurt Corey would follow up with a memorandum to the council. He acknowledged that in spite of <br />the public input into the design, some citizens still did not like it, and some design changes had <br />been made in response to complaints. He said that the design did slow vehicles down. <br /> <br />Mr. Farr indicated support for the work session request about the hospital zoning designation <br />made by Mr. Rayor, and noted he had submitted a request for a work session on at-large council <br />elections that he hoped other councilors would support. <br /> <br />B. Nonproperty Tax Revenue Sources <br /> <br />Assistant City Manager Jim Carlson provided the staff presentation. Becky Koble and DeeAnn <br />Hardt of the Central Services Department were also present for the item. Mr. Carlson said that the <br />work session was one of several the council would have on the topic of City finances and potential <br />nonproperty tax revenue sources. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlson noted upcoming council work sessions on related topics: on October 17 the council <br />would consider the Budget Citizen Subcommittee recommendations on transportation finance; on <br />November 14 the council would hear a report on special districts; on November 19 the full Budget <br />Committee would meet to hear the updated six-year financial forecast, a report on the multi-year <br />financial plan, and the budget assumptions for the upcoming fiscal year 2003 budget; and on <br />December 10 the council would hold a second work session on nonproperty tax revenue sources <br />and the library levy renewal. <br /> <br /> MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 8, 2001 Page 2 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
