<br />ATTACHMENT D <br />M I N U T E S <br /> <br />Eugene City Council <br />Harris Hall, 125 East 8 Avenue <br />th <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> <br />January 14, 2013 <br />5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />COUNCILORS PRESENT: George Brown, Betty Taylor, Greg Evans, Mike Clark, Chris Pryor, Alan <br />Zelenka, Claire Syrett, George Poling <br /> <br />Her Honor, Mayor Piercy called the January 14, 2013, work session of the Eugene City Council to <br />order. <br /> <br />A. COMMITTEE REPORTS AND ITEMS OF INTEREST: <br />Councilor Poling expressed thanks to Emergency Medical Services staff and also staff and doctors at <br />Riverbend for the treatment he received. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor reported back on the board meeting of the National League of Cities. <br /> <br />Councilor Evans gave a brief report on his agenda as a new City Councilor. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy noted she will be heading to the U.S Conference of Mayors annual conference where <br />mayors from all over the country work on issues together. <br /> <br />*Councilor Zelenka arrived at 5:40 p.m. <br /> <br />B. WORK SESSION: FY14 Plan of Action – City Service Fee Proposal <br />City Manager Jon Ruiz introduced the item and gave a Power Point presentation focusing on his <br />proposal to close a $6 million budget gap with a modest service fee. Mr. Ruiz reviewed recent <br />survey results and what services the community wants to maintain. <br /> <br />A review of proposals to address budget shortfall: <br /> <br />Close $6 million gap through footprint reductions <br /> <br /> <br />Fund one-time services – move Parks to Stormwater Account <br /> <br /> <br />Restore Library services through new City service fee, capped at $10 per month. <br /> <br /> <br />Comments and concerns: <br /> <br />Increase tax base instead of increasing taxes. <br /> <br /> <br />A vote will determine if the community wants to support this fee. <br /> <br /> <br />Lock in how money can be spent. <br /> <br /> <br />Public education MUST happen so people know more about this and should be specific – <br /> <br />breakdown of where money will be spent, the cap, etc. <br /> <br />Exemption from rather than reimbursement of fees preferred. <br /> <br /> <br />Results might be hard to measure. <br /> <br /> <br />Fee would be per dwelling and per business. Some people will pay twice. <br /> <br /> <br />Some residents don’t get service through EWEB – need to capture all residents. <br /> <br /> <br />Section 8, low-income housing residents should be exempt. <br /> <br /> <br />This fee supports ALL services the community enjoys. <br /> <br />MINUTES – Eugene City Council January 14, 2013 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
