RESOLUTION NO. 5029
AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION NO. 4281 PROVIDING AN
ADDITIONAL WAY FOR PROPERTY OWNERS SUBJECT TO A
CREST DRIVE AREA STREET IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT TO
QUALIFY FOR THE STREET SUBSIDY PROGRAM.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. On November 4, 1991, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4281, a
resolution adopting a Street Subsidy Program Council Policy Guide ( "the Program ").
B. Resolution No. 4281 sets forth the criteria that must be met for a property owner
subject to a street assessment to participate in the Program, including the qualifications for low -
moderate income persons. In order for a property owner to qualify for the Program, the property
owner(s)'s annual income must fall within one of the three categories set forth in section 6.1 of
Resolution No. 4281.
C. So that ' property owners, subject to assessment for the Crest Drive' AreA Street
Improvement Project that currently - have very low - to moderate incomes, but whose annual
income in 2010 exceeded the income limits of Resolution No. 4281, can participate in the
Program, it is necessary to amend Resolution No. 4281 to allow a Crest Drive Area property
owner(s)'s income to be based on an extrapolation of their income on a single day in 2011,
instead of their annual income in 201.0.
NOW, THEREFORE,

Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows:

income of property owner(s) subject to a Crest Area Street Improvement Project assessment can,
at the property owner(s)'s election, �be based on the property owner(s)'s income on April ' t 1,
2011. To determine Program eligibility, the property owner(s)'s income on April 11, 2011, will
be extrapolated for 364 days. "Income" includes, but is not limited to, work and investment
income, retirement income, unemployment benefits and child support. Proof of income on April
11, 2011, shall include, but is not limited to, April, 2011 payroll or unemployment stubs, 2010

Improvement Project to apply to the City to participate in the Program.
