LEVY

pick up t!><? last year of the current five-year levy
and cover the $4 2 million revenue shortfall
Kust wild passage of the levy would mean a SSO
Increase in the annual property tax rate for a
$72,000 home
Much of the luvy would go to the Sheriff’s De
partment, which receives about half of the coun
ty’s discretionary funds
Lane County Sheriff Dob McManus said the
now levy would provide his department with a
"wooden bridge’’ over the budget gap. Without It.
the department faces a SI .6 million budget cut.
McManus said the cuts would probably force
the department to close about 40 percent of the
Lane County jail and eliminate programs like the
forest work camp and the community corrections
center
McManus suid the reduction In jail capacity
and elimination of alternative programs would
hamper the likelihood of incarcerating all but the
most dangerous criminals
"By the time you get down to dealing with the
ills of a community the si/.o of Connecticut, keep
ing them In jail is not going to happen," Mc
Manus said
However, Kust said if Ballot Measure 20-02
fails, llie < aunty will he able to make up for some
of the revenue loss from the S3.1 million reserve
fund The current five-year levy would also pro
vide a cushion.
We have one year left on the current levy.”
Rust said ' We'd have time to come hack in Sep
tember with another proposal We have some
room to wiggle We're not at a drop-dead scenar
io.”
In addition to maintaining existing services.
Ballot Measure 20-02 would provide $200,000
per year to establish a now child abuse preven
tion and Intervention program.
Rust said tiie child abuse provisions of the levy
are a response to a number of particularly disturb
ing cases of abuse in Lane County. Among those
instances was the March 1991 murder of a six
year-old Cottage Grove boy by his mother
Steve Carmichael, director of the Lane County
Department of Youth Services, said reports of
child abuse and abuse-related deaths have dra
matically increased
"This year it has really reached epidemic lev
els." Carmichael said
Mike Lutz, intake supervisor for CSD, said re
ports of child abuse in Lane County have jumped
15 to 20 percent over the past four months.
Carmichael, whose department is facing a
5310,000 budget cut as a result of the revenue
shortfall, said intervention is the key to stopping
the cycle of child abuse and juvenile crimes.

cutbacks became necessary
when Measure 5, which re
duced property tuxus, was
passed In November 1990 and
resulted as a dmmatic docreaso
in state income.
University Vice Provost Nor

not have to happen because the
governor does not have to sub

the Legislature until lute this

be in motion for a new tax plan
and replacement revenue.
"Theru would lie time to
make some changes, although
there's l>een no indication one
