City cuts funds for Celebration
Daniel West

The Eugene City Council passed a budget rec
ommendation Monday to fund additional fire oper
ations
Tlie budget calls for the reduction of city support
for Eugene Celebration. the elimination of support
for the Sister Cities program and other communi
ty services
The money raised from the i uts will increase
staffing at the Agate Street Fire Station and open an
additional fire station, already built, on Hailey Hill
Koad. The budget was approved by a 6-2 margin
There were two amendments made to the origi
nal budget The original budget would’ve phased
out about $100,000 front leith the Celebration and
the Sister Cities programs over a four-year peri mi
with the largest cuts hap|MMiing in the first year of
the phase
The first amendment suggested that the phase
out of support for tile Eugene Qdobration lie extend
ed to five years and a SlO.(HM) reduc tion in funds
the first year, c utting the initial amount for the cut
in half
Supporters of the amendment said this would
help to ease the transition for the Eugene (kdebra
tion Hut the amendment didn't pass without some
disagreement from other Count il members
"I don't agree with this amendment. I believe that
this is only going to cause problems in the future
because of the lack of financial support in the first
few years of the phase out program." Council mem
bar |tm Torrey said.
Die sec ond amendment extended the phase-out
program for the Sister Cities program also to five
years and lowered its initial reduction The Sister
Cities program promote* cultural and educational
exchange with Eugene's sister cities
"This amendment will allow the Sister Cities pro
gram to look for support from other agent les in the
community that have a direct interest in the pro
gram. such as the 4 | and Bethel school districts,"
Council Vice President Nancy Nathanson said in
proposing the amendment.
The Council provided an open microphone for
the comments .Several individuals t ante forth in
opposition to the budget cuts, speaking of the val
ue of all the programs and the loss that the public
would far e if the city reduced its funding for them
Some Council members suggested that the bud
get cuts could he only temporary
