City will survive Measure 5 cuts
By Hope Nealson
Emerald Reporter
Despite Measure r. cutbacks.
(jt\ Manager Mike (’.leason an
nouncud Thursday lh.it Eugene
will spare most nl its city ser
vice programs, and a coinmuni
ty council will he created to aid
the city in planning its 1991 92
budget
A budget planning council,
called Eugene Decisions, will
give the community an oppor
tunity to voice their opinions
and i oncerns about the budget
during planning process This
group will work with the rit\
to d»« ide what services the city
should provide and determine
how to pay for them
"The idea is to put every
thing on the table and not have
anybody left out of the deci
sion-inaking process." said
I’hil VVeiler. public information
specialist for Eugene
Three main areas will be af
fected by the budget proposal.
Weiler said
The first major impac t will
hit capital projects I'hese pro
jeets require S1 ^ million per
year in maintaining citv mads,
buildings eti The new budget
proposal will eliminate these
services and provide < lose to
zero funding. Weiler said
Another area for trimming in
( lude reviewing administrative
job openings. Weiler said ('it\
exe< utive managers will be
asked to look .it individual jobs
and determine if they absolute
lv need to be filled, or if exist
mg employees can take over job
duties By redut mg personnel,
the city will save money, he
said.
Weiler added that the third
major area for cutting corners
will come from an administra
tive spending authority plan
This plan will have city pro
grammers spend only 98 per
cent of their budget allocated to
them by the city. The extra two
percent will go toward balanc
ing the city budget
Weiler said the 199 1-92
budget was hurting I'Vcn In-ion
(he passage ot Mi-asim- > anti
existing city servii a*s cost mom
than tax rove nuns could cover
"Wi- had been stirt of limp
ing along through tin- past tew
years and even it Measure >
hud not of passed, wr still
would have had a 7 million
deficit regardless," VVeiler
said
This shortage of city rev
enues plus Measure a eltet ts
resulted in a projet ted budget
detit it of S'. I million
Gleason said most voters in
dilated in surveys that the rea
son they voted tor Measure 5
was that they wanted to refi
nance lot .11 government so that
property taxes wouldn't he re
lied on tor funding the city's
services.
But Gleason said, “You can't
run (the city) on nothing, and
you have to figure out a way to
provide the money." He added
the community will have to tie

and how the\ want to tund
