REPORTS OF OFFICERS A report of the City Manager re: several proposals involving special levies 3 and/or bond issues, was submitted and read as follows: I "At a recent meeting the Common Council adopted a report of its Public Works Committee with reference to the Amazon Channel Improvement and authorized the legal department to prepare a special election ballot measure for presentation to the electors and taxpayers calling for a general obligation bond issue to provide funds for the City's share of the project. As the Council is aware several other proposals, involving bond issues and/or special levies, have been presented and discussed during the past several months. They are as follows: I 1. Expansion and Improvement, of Eugene's fire defenses, including: . .A~, a. Purchase of 100-foot aerial ladder truck. b. Construction of two sub-stations c. Installation of an adequate fire-alarm system in the high- value districts. d. Employment of additional manpower to staff the sub-stations and man ladder equipment. Estimated costs of this program total $120,000 for capital outlay and approximately $36,000 per year in increased operating expense. . ,-- --.....-.~.....-..........__....._~-- ,Jj '82 - -- - -- .- - . - ---. - - - - - - -~-- ~_. - -- - -- - -~- -.- - . -- - - - - -- __ .w q .-- - - - -. - . ~.. - _. w.. _._ . .-- - - - . - - -"- -. - _.".- . - - .. ..- -- - ~ .. - _. - - ..- - - _.-~- - ,..-- - ."--. . - .. - - - - . - _.-.. - - - . -- - ~ .

Some weeks ago the Council was formally requested by the Eugene Recreation!\ Commission to favorably consider an ,expanded Park-Recreation program for the city f involving both capital outlay fu{ids and operating expense. At that time a sug- !i I' ~do gestedbudget was submitted, predicated upon a special levy that would have approxi+ mated 5 mills annually for at least thre,e years. ' Since that date this proposed bud~ {-y ~ 'get has been analyzed and revised with special attention to, the segregation of Ii . capital outlay and operational item~. If the program requests are to be met , :1 generally the sum of approximately $200,00 would be required over a three-year I' 'I period together with,an additional one-mill levy, for operating expenses. " " I: I, 3. In recent months a joint committee of the Council and Mill. Race Park :1 Association has been studying an engineering report and cost estimates ,pertaining tq I the restorat;ion of the Mill Race. While I do not have a formal report to submit ,: for the Council group at this, time, it would appear that E! bond authorization by " the taxpayers would pro~e the only means of financing this project. Depending on type of restoration, costs for the project vary from $29,800 to $44,000. These figures do not include provision for xecreational development along the race, nor do the estimates include ,the $10,000 Mill Race fund now on hand. :, While each of the above proposals must stand or fall on its own merit I am " " I' sure the Council will feel as I do that the over-all financing program, inCluding :' the question of bonded debt limitation, cannot be properly considered until such ,i time as the Council has indicated its intent as to the placing of any or all of , I, the above outlined proposals on a special election ballot. I am, therefore, sub- , I: mitting this report in the hopes that the Council will see fit to make such determination~ All approved proposals should then be referred to the Finance Com- mittee for specif.ic recommendations as to appropriations in each instance. If this finance report could be submitted and accepted by the Council at its ~ regular meeting later this month an election date could be set and all necessary, preliminary, work, including preparation of election ordinance, selection of election officials, printing of pamphlets and ballots, etc.; could proceed. This work would require approximately 60 days and the election could be fixed for early , March. . ! Trusting this report may merit your attention and favorable consideration, I am" ! I . " It was moved by Hawn, seconded by Crumbaker that. the report of the City Manager be I' :1 , feceived and placed on file and that all proposals, contained in the report be ;; referred to the Finance Committee of the Council for study and recommendation and " " that such recommendations be first considered by the Council as a Committee of the I whole before being reported back to the Council. i 1 : -'--A report of the City Engineer re: proposed opening of alley between 8th and , L 4 West Broadway, Van Buren and. Tyler, was submitted and read as follows: , . "Pursuant to the resolution of November 10, 1947, I herewith submit a report Ii of the survey for the opening of the alley extending east and west between Eighth I; Aven~e West and West Broadway, from Van Buren Street to Tyler Street in Eugene, I, Oregon. I have made a survey of proposed opening and have marked the boundaries I' :' thereof. !i ;. This report contains: ,. . 'I 1 " . First: A full and complete description of such alley and boundaries thereof, and of the portion of each tract of land to be appropriated therefore. Second: A plat showing the proposed opening together with adjacent property. Third: The present owners of adjacent property which may be benefited by such opening." I It was moved by Johnson, seconded by Crumbaker that the report of the City Engineer, be received and placed on file andthematter take its usual course.

The Sanitary Authority considers that your city has made reasonable progress either in planning for construction of sewage treatment works or in the adoption of a fiscal program to defray the cost of construction when conditions permit. Inasmuch as your city, however, discharges its wastes into a stream where pOllution problems are serious, every effort should be made to undertake construction of your sewage treatment works at an early date. In the meantime, the Authority desires that you furnish them before their special meetint to be held in Portland on January 10, 1948, an up-to-date report on the status of your sewerage project. This report should indicate the status of plans for your sewerage project which include intercepting sewers, pumping stations, treatment works, the estimated cost of the proposed sewerage project, together with the plan by which your city proposes to finance the construction of such sewage works, and the amount of moneys accumulated in sinking funds and set aside to finance such sewerage works construction.

This contract becomes effective January 1, 1948. In keeping with our policy to continue to give to the City of Eugene service as in the past, and to prevent work stoppages which would be detrimental to the citizens I of the city, this wage increase was granted in full knowledge that the pr~sent revenues do not and will not justify the increase. \.
