A few months ago, Lane County proposed a special taxing district to fund <br />public safety activities. The proposal, however, was rejected by several cities in Lane County and out of <br />the jurisdictions’ disagreement came the Public Safety Task Force. This group is composed of elected <br />officials from Lane County and the incorporated cities in Lane County. Mayor Piercy and Councilor <br />Kelly are the elected officials on this body representing the City of Eugene. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />There are no City policies issues related to this update report. If and when a final proposal is presented <br />to the City Council for consideration, there will be several policy issues to be considered in that context. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />There are no options to consider at this time; this is an update report only. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager has no recommendation on the matter at this time. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />There is no suggested motion for this discussion topic. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050921\S050921B.doc <br /> <br />
