<br /> <br /> <br />ECC <br />UGENE ITY OUNCIL <br />AIS <br />GENDA TEM UMMARY <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Action: Approval of Motions Relating to Production of a Voters’ Pamphlet for the <br /> <br />November 6, 2012, Election <br /> <br />Meeting Date: July 9, 2012 Agenda Item Number: 6 <br />Department: City Manager’s Office Staff Contact: Beth Forrest <br />www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5882 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ISSUE STATEMENT <br /> <br />The purpose of this item is to initiate the production of a voters’ pamphlet for the general election on <br />November 6, 2012, and to appoint the members of the voters’ pamphlet proponent committee. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />On July 9, the council is scheduled to take action on a resolution placing a general obligation (GO) bond <br />for street preservation on the November 2012 ballot. <br /> <br />(This agenda item assumes that the council votes to refer the GO Bond to the voters at the November 6, <br />2012, election). <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />EC 2.993 (2) requires the city manager to publish and distribute a local voters’ pamphlet for elections in <br />which a city measure is on the ballot. <br /> <br />EC 2.996 (1)(b) establishes that for City Council-referred measures, the argument in favor and the <br />rebuttal to the opposition argument are to be prepared by one or more of the councilors who voted in <br />favor of the measure. <br /> <br />Production of a voters’ pamphlet is not a regularly budgeted item. Production costs, including mailing, <br />for the voters’ pamphlets the past few years have averaged between $15,000 and $25,000. <br /> <br />The time required for printing a pamphlet and preparing it for mailing are set by production schedules of <br />mailing services and commercial printers. Pamphlet content and deadlines for its preparation and <br />mailing are established by Eugene Code 2.993 through 2.997. To meet those deadlines, council action is <br />needed before July 25. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />1. The council may approve motions to produce and expend funds on a voters’ pamphlet and appoint <br />councilors to a proponent committee. <br /> S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120709\S1207096.doc <br /> <br />
