Council, committee
discuss city budget
By DEAN WHEELER
Of the Emerald
On May 20, the Eugene voters
turned down a proposed city
budget which was $2.2 million
over the allowable 6 per cent
limitation.
Last Thursday the City
Council’s budget committee,
made up of 16 members, 6 council
members and 10 citizens ap
pointed by council members, met
to discuss how to change the
budget to make it acceptable to
the public.
City Manager Hugh McKinley
started the meeting by presen
ting the council with figures
noting an increase in the amount
of funds the city is collecting.
From utility rebates, cash
balance, July 1, and other
sources, the City of Eugene will
gross $60,000 over expenses
which it didn't know existed
before last Thursday night.
Mayor Les Anderson, a
member of the budget com
mittee, told his fellow members
that indications pointed to a gain
of $240,000 from car registration
if the bill passed the state
legislature as it appeared it
would.

After reviewing these figures,
Mayor Anderson proposed that
the committee make no cuts in
the budget, but return the issue to
the voters with newly found
$300,000 as the only alteration.
Tom Williams, city council
member, told the committee that
he felt “we have an obligation to
make some definite reductions.”
As a result of this and similar
statements from other com
mittee members, the committee
listened to the city ad
ministration list which things in
the second level of the five-level
budget it could live without.
After an extensive debate, the
committee decided upon the
reduction of a tax increase of
$0.52 per $1,000 property value.
The original budget vote was on
$9 24 per $1,000 property value.
The committee tentatively cut
over $75,000 from the budget,
including $20,000 allocated for the
summer employment of high
school and college youths.
The committee adjourned after
deciding to meet again Thursday
at 6:30 a m., in the McNutt Room.
At that time they will review
what the state legislature did
with a bill on car registration fee
increases, and the committee
members will decide on when to
ask the city council to hold an
election.
McKinley said a second vote
could not be held prior to June 24.
