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.
