Ward 8, the Chun lull ami, will host a mooting on
Wednesday. Juno 29
Councilor Jim Torrey sopnratoU organized a
third tow n hall mooting — to tnko plai o today
that w ill involve prosontations from propomints
and opponents of a now library
Several members of the Monday night crowd at
Petersen Community Center pointed to govern
merit waste "The c ity is bloated," said Tim
Brandt, who suggested the city < ut its payroll 10
percent
Others said the library was a losing proposition,
no matter vvliat We've voted on this library issue
liefore I want to know, what part of 'no' don't you
understand'" demanded Lugene Lynch Ho said
tfie city should build several smaller branches
instead of a major new fat ility
Jim Johnson, executive manager of the city's
Library. Recreation and Cultural Services Depart
ment. suit! outlying brant lies are part of a larger
library plan developed by a citizen’s group in
1988 But. Johnson said, for smaller branches to
ojierate. a large centra! fat ility is necessary
Supporters of a new library point to tile increas
es in circulation, patronage, and library materials
since the library was built in 1959 Before Mon
thly's meeting. Johnson pointed out that
• Cirt ulation increased t> T> times between 1959
and 1993 — from 211.000 items to 1 38 million
items annually
• Library patronage int reused t.7 times — from
16.711 in 1959 to 62,043 in 1993.
• Materials the library houses increased 4 5
times — from 57,345 to over 260,000.
Eugene's population grow 2A limes — from
c>0.000 to 120.000 during the same period, said
luhnson
Some residents nt Monday's meeting asked why
the existing library couldn't he expanded by
adding a story But library proponents nt the meet
ing. and some residents, pointed out adding a sec
ond floor is untenable because of new earthquake
codes.
Some library supporters say the time is not right
"This thing that we've got to have it right now
and right down there is not good planning." said
lean Fisher, a supporter of a new library
But some library proponents worry that a delay
might threaten the Sears site for u new library We
need to go back to the voters while people still
understand the measure reasonably well,” said for
mer City Count ilor Kinily Si hue, who has cham
pioned the new library.
File fears may lx* well founded. While seven out
of 10 Eugene voters who went to the polls in
March 1091 endorsed a new |ihrar\ in the Sears
Building, only one lone person at Monday's meet
ing raised his hand when Fisher asked how many
favored the Sears site.
"We keep getting fed in the paper that this Itha
Sears building) is what we selected," said Fisher.
"This is not what we selected It was selected and
we endorsed it."
Opponents of the library say it should lx* at the
bottom of the city's plan Bill Mason, who cam
paigned against 20-09, said the city should balance
its budget and provide public safety services
before setting out to build and run a new library.
"1 live in a seven-minute response time area,” he
said "My neighbor died earlier this year lx*fore the
ambulance could get there."
