Mr. Meisner stated that a memorandum he had received from Planning staff earlier in the day <br />regarding $50,000 of the Supplemental Budget proposed for growth management <br />implementation had suggested the expenditure was for data base development and <br />communication. He said that he was not prepared to spend the proposed resources until there <br />was implementation to communicate. He said such an appropriation could be appropriate at a <br />later time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Meisner moved, seconded by Ms. Swanson Gribskov, to amend <br /> Supplemental Budget #2 by reducing the Planning and Development <br /> Department's General Fund appropriation designated for Growth <br /> Management Implementation by $50,000 and increasing the General Fund <br /> Reserve by a like amount. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she believed all decisions on the Supplemental Budget should be postponed, but <br />that she also believed study of Growth Management should be implemented, not continued to be <br />studied. <br /> <br />Mr. Tollenaar stated that he would oppose the motion because he believed the purpose of the <br />appropriation was to set up base line data by which the effectiveness of growth management <br />implementation could be measured. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson suggested that councilors could request additional information before voting on the <br />current or any issue related to the Supplemental Budget. <br /> <br />Ms. Swanson Gribskov said that she supported the motion because she did not believe the <br />purpose and use of appropriation was fully planned. <br /> <br /> The motion to amend was adopted, 6:1, Mr. Laue voting opposed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor moved to amend Supplemental Budget #2 by reducing the <br /> Planning and Development Department's General Fund appropriation <br /> designated for Planning in North Downtown Area by $50,000 and increasing <br /> the General Fund Reserve by a like amount. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey determined that there was no other councilor wishing to second the motion of Ms. <br />Taylor and declared that it was not under consideration. <br /> <br /> The motion to adopt Resolution No. 4581 was approved, 6:1, with Ms. Taylor <br /> voting opposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson said he was concerned that the council did not fully understood impacts on the City <br />Budget of recent decisions related to the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), and <br />implementation of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) agreement which affected <br />the ability of the Fire Department to absorb its share of a $500,000 of cost reductions. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey adjourned the meeting of the City Council and convened a meeting of the Urban <br />Renewal Agency. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council December 9, 1998 Page 11 <br /> 11:30 a.m. Lunch Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
