It was moved by Crumbaker, seconded by Davis 'that the report of the Committee be received and placed on file and that the recommendation contained therein be approved. Motion carried. REPORTS OF OFFICERS A report of the City Manager: re - Sewage Treatment Plant was submitted and 8 read as follows: I "On January 5th my office received from the firm of Stockman & Stockman, Consulting Engineers, preliminary plans and cost estimates on the proposed Eugene Sewage Treatment Plant. A day and a half was spent by your City En~ineer and myself in conference with Mr. Stockman with reference to these preliminary plans. In conformity with the regulations of the State Sanitary Authority, the Engineers are completing the design of a treatment plant calling for diversion box installation, control house and structures, grit remover, pump house, primary and secondary sedimentation basins, high-rate trickling filter together with primary and secondary sludge digesters and sludge drying beds. The plan is designed to serve a City population of 40,000 plus a University population of 10,000 and to take care of industrial wastes which, measured in population equivalent, accounts for 104,000 or a total population of 154,000. As compared with the estimated cost figure of approximately $156,000 for the original plant design in 1940, the Engineer's preliminary cost estimate for the proposed plant, as revised, shows a figure of approxilnately $670,000. This increas is a result of advanced construction costs, the State's additional requirement for secondary treatment of sewage and a revision-of plans calling for a provision to expand digester capacity to handle a 100% increase in industrial wastes in the future. 1 During Mr. Stoc~~an's visit considerable attention was given to land require- ments for the re-designed plant and an inspection was made of the City's present site at the end of Polk Street. There appears to be a serious question that this site would be sufficient for the installation of the units that would be included in the original construction plus adequate space for future additional sedimentatio ~ ""'9 6 I IH . . -', .--':" -:--.-' 1T ~_..- I: !: and digester tanks. As a result of this inspection, I have requested Mr. Stockman to make an investigation on an alternate site that was discussed at the time. Mr. Stockman's completed plans, specifications and contract documents on the plant will be ready by mid-February together with his preliminary report on the alternate site. As soon as a date has been definitely determined for the presen- tation of this material, this office will notify the Mayor and members of the , Council and request" that a special meeting, be held at which time the Consulting Engineer can present his material before the Council as a whole." '1,~ 0-: I It was moved by Crumbaker, seconded by Hanns that the report of the City Manager be received and placed on file. Motion carried. A report of the City Manager re: "Reserved Parking Zones" in restricted areas, was submitted and read as follows: "We have recently had a question arise as to the provlslons of Ordinance No. 8670 of the City of Eugene, providing for the establishment of "Reserved Parking Zones" in residential districts. Previously these zones have been applied for and granted under the terms of the ordinande on those residential streets where no parking restrictions are in force. We are, however, faced with the problem now of granting such zones on resi- dential streets bordering the business area, on which 1 hour parking restrictions have been applied. I I should, therefore, like to suggest that this matter be referred to the Public Safety Committee of the Council for consideration and recommendation." 9 I It was moved by Davis, seconded by Allen that the report of the City Manager be received and placed on file and that the: matter be referred to the Public Safety Committee for recommendation.

Motion carried. A letter from the Oregon Motor Stages with reference to the reques~ed in- crease in bus fares as provided in Council Bill 292, given first reading by the Common Council December 22, 1947 was submitted and read as follows: 17 "We have come before you with a request for an increase in fares. This is th~ direct result of costs which are spiraling upwards at a time when traffic would have been considerid fantastic. The pattern of wage increases ih the transit industry with its proven~ record of stability of employe annual earnings is being set by hourly increases granted in industries which almost completely lack that stability. Collaterals and benefits of one description or another have been added to ourt:' contracts and these have placed a further cost burden on us. Prices have increased for the material and services which we must purchase' from other -- (for instance the recent increase of 1.8~ per gallon for gasoline.) The cost of new equipment has gone up and construction costs are at unprecedented levels. Taxes are rising. This combination of rising costs and decreasing traffic has already caused a rapid decline on some of our operations, and in some instances, a complete dis- app~arance of net income: Now it is not because we, of all industries~ have been singled out as the sole victims of rising costs that our problem is a serious one. Rising costs' effect all industries. We are peculiarly a victim of these circumstances because of two reasons. , I, ~l Firstly, the proportion of our total costs represented by labor are extremely:; high, and increased wage costs cause a horizontal rise ih a substantial part of the costs of our operation. The second reason why these rlslng costs effect us in a peculiar manner is because of the complexity of the machinery provided for increasing our rates to offset higher costs. We are not in the fortunate position of being able to announce an increase in the price of our product as soon as increased costs are known. We must appeal to Public Utility Commissions, Munbipal governing bodies, etc. before a change in our rates can become effective. Not infrequently this means long delays. During the period of this delay,'we are operating with inadequate fares and the higher costs are being paid out of depreciating reserves and frequently on borrowed money. : No, given fare is adequate unless it provides sufficient revenue to meet all the costs of service, including a proper recompense for the capital employed, and in addition leaves a balance over and above these needs. If we are to remain a healthy industry, ~n asset to this community, there must be a balance remaining over and above thcl amounts required for operating expenses, taxes, deprebiation, interest charges, .'and a reasonable return on investment. ~ I 1 I I I ~ B9 - - - - - -------~--------- --- I If the fare structure provides less than these requirenlents, the quality of service is bound to suffer. We cannot carry out our program of continued improve- ments if operations are carried on at an unprofitable level. I We have presented to you a financial statement showing the results of operations of the Oregon Motor Stages for the period of January 1,. 1947 to October 31, 1947. This statement indicates the operationg costs under the old contract with the Union, as well as the price of products used in this operation, practi- cally all of which have been increased in cost since the period of this statement. You will note that the operations show, after all expenses, a net operating revenue of $30,854.47. :,.'") ,:,(0 ,f./'. The Oregon Motor Stages operate approximately 600,000 miles per month. Of this mileage, slightly more than 100,000 miles are operated in Eugene and surround- ing areas. Because of the fact that we operate 600,000 miles monthly we are able, through our centralized purchasing department, to obtain materials and services at a rate much lower than if we operated only 100,000 miles. These reduced costs benefit the City Operations to an extent not discernable in the financial state- ment. This city receives the benefit of skilled maintenance and management at a cost proportionately lower than if the City operation were a separate unit. It would be extremely difficult to present a financial statement placing this operation on its own merits. This operation is an integral part of the whole and could not survive under present rates if severed from the main body. Neither could present services be rendered and additions and betterments in plant equipment and service be obtained unless the previous level of income against costs be pre- served. I It is impossible to give you an operating statement of Eugene by itself due to the method of our operation. Springfield, Coburg and Santa Clara are tied into the Eugene City Lines, both in revenue and costs. In addition our operation becomes more complicated in separating costs due to our body and paint shop being located in Salem and our motor, transmission and differential overhaul work performed in Portland. Equipment such as Break-in Dynameter, Cylinder Head Grinder, etc. WOQld be too expensive for the Eugene Operation by itself and we deem it more economical to do this work in centralized point. Purchasing is also done from our Portland Office, as well as all of the bOOkkeeping. To separate all of these expenses would entail a great deal of man hours and would increase our costs considerably. We have, however, our out-of-the-pocket costs for the Eugene, Springfield and Santa Clara Operations ending October 1, 1947 which totals .25094 per mile. Our new labor contract and added costs will increase this figure by 15%. This will bring our out-of-the-pocket costs up to .2885. At the present time our Gross Income in the Eugene, Springfield and Santa Clara Operation is .31 cents per mile which is .01 cent per mile under last year's average. This was caused by adding mileage in the operation to give service to points that had not developed in population sufficiently to pay its way, but still needed service. It is our honest estimate that our expenses, in addition to the out-of-the-pocket cost is .03 cents per mile, making a total of present expenses of .3185. The increase which we request should develop an additional .01 cent per mile. Should the busi- ness rem~in on the same volume basis for 1948 and no new rates required, a small prOfit can be expected." City Attorney Pennington reported to the Council that the public notice for hearing on Council Bill No. 292 had been published in accordance with Charter provisions. Upon motion the communication of the Oregon Motor Stages was ordered referred to the Judiciary Committee and the public hearing set for January 12, 1948 ordered continued pending a report from the JUdiciary Committee.
