Incredible Edibles and Libations
440 Coburg Road. Eugene Phone: 343-1221
Too few take advantage
of low income energy aid
An uncommon concern has officials at
Eugene's Low Income Energy Assistance
Program worried After securing an extra
$400,000 for low income energy needs, not
enough people are applying to use the money
So far only 600 households have taken
advantage of the new money while money for
1,000 to 2,500 people is available in grants
ranging from $110 to $225 paid directly to the
heating or utility company to defray energy
costs The deadline to apply is April 15
"We are unlikely to get rid of all the money,"
admits Richie Weinman, office manager of the
Low Income Energy Assistance Program "But
we know people need it and are eligible ”
Many students already have qualified,
Weinman says Special provisions for students
include subtracting tuition from any grants
they may receive before looking at income
Income per household using the same heating
source is used to determine eligibility
The average income to qualify is $800 per
month for a family of four. However. Weinman
cautions people to call the office if they have
any questions because there are complex
quirks in the rules that must be applied to each
case individually.
Occupants of subsidized housing and those
who already have received assistance from the
program are not eligible
Congress appropriated the extra money in
response to the hard winter back east,
according to Weinman The Low Income
Energy Assistance Program requested the
money through the State Community Services
Program to serve Lane County residents
"Hopefully they will let us use (remaining
funds) for next year," Weinman says. Con
gress has not yet set aside any money for the
program next year "But since it's an election
year I suspect Congress will embrace the
program," he adds
Projects may go uncompleted
Public works income falls
By Marfan Green
Of Emaratd
Local residents will find few
bumps or chuckholes in the
county-maintained streets, but
uncertain revenue predictions
mean that non-mandated public
works projects face a rough
road before completion, a pub
lic works official told the county
commissioners Wednesday
At a public hearing, public
works director Donald La Belle
said his department's proposed
five-year capital improvement
program, which is updated each
year, totals about $60 million —
a $13 million drop from the
previous year La Belle said the
reduction accounts for no new
program additions.
And under the proposed plan,
projects totaling $23 million
have been placed under a
"Special Funding Category," to
be implemented only if money
becomes available, he said
"All the projects are
important," he said "It just
means that the money just isn’t
available ”
He said 40 percent of the
projects, which include road
reconstructions, improvement
and bridge replacements, won't
be completed on schedule un
less U S Forest and O&C timber
receipts — the public works
department’s main sources of
revenue — are greater than
anticipated
But Commissioner Otto
t'Hooft said timber revenues
probably will be down this com
ing fiscal year
"It's looking like our timber
receipts are going to be 40-50
percent (of the county's reven
ue) rather than the 60 percent
we've been budgeting for,”
t'Hooft said
La Belle said the sorry reven
ue outlook during the program's
first year means it will con
centrate on only "have to have"
projects, such as road repairs
The "need to have” projects
— such as road reconstructions
and bridge replacements — and
the "like to have" proposals —
such as road dust controls —
will be put aside until the econ
omy turns up, he said.
Continued patching of road
or bridge problems gives a
"dwindling return” to the coun
ty, La Belle said.
In sound economic times,
reconstruction is the better
alternative because awarding of
construction contracts have a
"multiplying effect" on the
dollars spent in the area
In an ironic twist, several
River Road residents were on
hand to protest the county's
proposal under the program to
widen that road to five lanes.
They submitted a petition,
signed by 500 River Road
residents, opposed to the
widening
“We’d rather you left it alone
We'd rather see the money go to
repair chuckholes in the roads,"
said River Road resident Phil
Rose
The widening would force five
local businesses to close and
several large, old trees to be cut
down, Rose said The widening
is not necessary to ease traffic
since turn lanes were con
structed recently, he added
"As far as widening it to five
lanes and cutting the trees
down, it's not necessary, and
the people don't want it,” said
Wanda Simmons, another River
Road resident
Agreeing that the widening
project and other proposals
needed additional considera
tion, the commissioners sent
the program back to the Roads
Advisory Board and tentatively
set May 5 for possible adoption
