PUBLIC HEARING and ACTION: <br />Resolution 4959 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the City of <br />Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2008, and Ending June 30, 2009 <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />John Barofsky <br />, 2010 Hubbard Lane, thanked staff for presenting the Supplemental Budget to the citizen <br />members of the Budget Committee. He had found it helpful in understanding what was being presented to <br />the council for approval. He said as the council knew there was a policy that dedicated the first $900,000 of <br />the marginal beginning working capital to the capital budget for preservation and maintenance. He stated <br />that the present year’s transfer would be short by $533,685. He was troubled by this because the City was <br />already on the low side of funding this need. He thought the City Manager and staff should find a way to <br />put this important obligation into the regular budget. He averred that the City’s capital preservation and <br />maintenance should not be allowed to “go the way of our roads.” He declared that capital preservation was <br />a core service that must be recognized in budget form. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman asked if the transfer he was referring to was in addition to allocated capital funding. <br />Budget Manager for the Finance Division, Kitty Murdoch, confirmed that it was in addition to the existing <br />capital budget. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman averred that a big portion of the backlog of maintenance lay in the current City Hall. <br />She said there was $30 million in a reserve fund to build a new City Hall that included police services. She <br />recalled that when the council decided not to move forward there had been a decision to utilize the vast <br />portion of it to upgrade and maintain the existing facility. She was uncertain what would happen in the next <br />budget cycle in that regard. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy asked when they planned to hold the City Hall discussion. City Manager Jon Ruiz replied that <br />it would occur in the spring. <br /> <br />Councilor Pryor, seconded by Councilor Bettman, moved to adopt Resolution 4959 adopt- <br />ing a Supplemental Budget; making appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal <br />Year beginning July 1, 2008, and ending June 30, 2009. Roll call vote; the motion passed <br />unanimously, 7:0. <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council December 8, 2008 Page 6 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
