FUNDS Continued from Page 6 The search for funding ideas began last June when the com mittee surveyed other cities to see how human service funding was handled across the country The results of this survey, as well os some specific ideas on how to raise the necessary mon ey. were compiled in two reports released last November The next step will be to make presentations to both city coun 11Is in Kugene and Springfield in hopes of gaining support for the idea of a stable funding source Once both councils agree some sort of stable funding source is necessary, the committee will meet with members of the busi ness and rural communities to discuss specific ideas. Hut before an\ decisions on the nature or source of human ser vices funding ore made, Maneln said people need to realize why stable funding is necessary. "1 think people are aware of these problems ... growing home lessness, growing child abuse," Manela said. "There's a broad base of people out there who understand the need for those ser ve es "it s important to edu<ate peo pie that this isn't a billion dol lar program. It's $2.3 million It's not a big chunk of money." he said, explaining that l.ane Court tv’s general fund, which covers only the county's operating expenses, is $11H million Because the issue is still a new one. there are few vocal oppo nents But after Karen McCowan, a columnist for the Register Guard, mentioned the possibili ty of these taxes in a column, let ters written to the pn|>er eritii i/ed the plan The letter-writers mainly ques tioned whether or not the home less and jobless needed special job training programs, among oth er services. Manela disagrees, saving that the problems faced by some jh*o ple today are not limited to home iessness, but include a sense of hopelessness as well Manela said once public hear ings began on this issue and more people became aware of the plan, he expected more criticism.
