State cigarette, alcohol tax
to help Eugene's ’04 budget
adout $i.Z4 million from
the state alcoholic beverage
tax will help ease Eugene’s
fiscal woes in 2004
By A. Sho Ikeda
Senior News Reporter
The city of Eugene faced a loss of
more than $2 million for the 2004
fiscal year because of the statewide
financial crisis that occurred during
the summer.
By the end of the legislative special
sessions, however, it was determined
some of the money generated by state
cigarette, alcohol and income taxes will
probably go where it was intended: into
the Eugene city budget.
Money granted to the city of Eugene
is classified as "Intergovernmental Rev
enue" in the 2004 Adopted Budget.
These dollars come from federal, state
and local government revenue Some of
the money is given in the form of
grants, which can be used in programs
such as drunken driving prevention
and safety programs in public schools.
Another source of intergovernmental
revenue is the state alcoholic beverage
tax and the state cigarette tax. Taxes gen
erated from the sale of alcohol and cig
arettes are divided among cities based
on their population, according to the
League of Oregon Cities Web site.
According to the Eugene Budget Of
fice, the city will gain about $266,000
from the state cigarette tax and $ 1.24
million from the state alcoholic bever
age tax.
TOTAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE
As received by the city of Eugene from federal,
state and local governments:
• Fiscal Year '01 (Actual): $3,050,784
• Fiscal Year ’02 (Actual): $3,290,306
• Fiscal Year '03 (as of 12/31/02): $3,449,698
• Fiscal Year '04 (Adopted): $2,328,761
SOURCE: Eugene Budget Office
In addition to the money received
through the taxes, Eugene will also re
ceive about $766,000 in "state revenue
sharing" funds. These funds come from
income taxes and other sources of state
revenue and are then redistributed to
local governments.
Eugene Senior Budget Analyst Jeff
Retry said the amount of funds distrib
uted by the state to cities can fluctuate
from year to year. He called the finan
cial distribution procedure of the state
a "black box," meaning the way mon
ey is distributed can be hard to predict.
Legislators help decide how much
money is allotted to different munici
palities and, in the case of the financial
crisis faced by the state Legislature this
summer, they may decide not to give
any money at all.
"The state can take it all away if they
need to," Retry said.
Money that would normally have
been given to the city by the state gov
ernment was also in danger of being re
distributed to other areas of Oregon.
"We were worried during the special
sessions," Petry said. "There was talk
about taking $2 million from the city,
but it didn't come to pass."
Once Eugene budget officials have
an estimate of how much money they
will receive from the state, they add the
estimate to the city's budget. However,
the money doesn't always arrive imme
diately.
Petry said funds can arrive on a
monthly basis, every three months or
even right before the fiscal year is over.
"We don't always know when the
money is coming," Petry said. "Some
time it just dribbles in."
The money received by the city then
goes into the city's General Fund, where
the funds can be redistributed to differ
ent public services, such as the Eugene
Police Department, emergency medical
services, the Eugene Public Library and
the Hult Center for the Performing Arts.

INITIATIVE

graduates, spending state funds on pro
grams that drive economic growth,
and creating a strategy that allows for
reinvestment in higher education.
Reaction to the news at the Universi
ty was mixed; administrators said the
changes may have a positive impact for
higher education, but student leaders
were unsure.
"1 am pleased that the governor is go
ing to make higher education a high
priority for the rest of his administra
tion," Vice President and Provost john
Moseley said. "It certainly is potential
ly a major event for higher education
and may portend a high level of state
support in the future."
University President Dave Frohn
mayer had similar sentiments.
"The governor's focus on reinvest
ment in higher education is really a fo
cus on reinvestment in Oregon,"
Frohnmayer said in a statement to fac
ulty members. "It is a recognition of the
critical role universities play in the pros
perity of the state."
ASUO President Maddy Melton ac
knowledged the significance of the
initiative but was not ready to label it
a blessing.
"It's definitely a huge deal, and it's a
huge political move," Melton said.
Elsewhere in the state, reaction to the
initiative was generally positive.
Current board member Bridget
Bums, who is a student at Oregon State
University, said she supports Kulongos
ki's decision.
"He really prioritizes access to educa
tion, and I really think that ought to be
our fundamental goal," she said.
Oregon Student Association Execu
live Director John Wykoff said Kulon
goski is tal<ing a bold step to refocus the
university system's mission. While he
applauded the board's previous efforts
to prioritize quality, Wykoff said that at
this juncture — when more Oregoni
ans may be unable to go to school due
to rising costs — access is clearly a more
relevant goal.
Wykoff said he is now eager to see
what the governor's plan entails and
what direction the board will take.
"Hopefully it will bring good re
sults," he said.
• Goldschmidt was appointed to
serve in one of two previously vacant
positions on the 11-member board.
Kulongoski will soon appoint new
members to fill the four vacancies left
by the resignations.

AUTHOR

Notion") he abandoned the novel
and became famous as a dope fiend,
he's really discounted," Huffman said.
"There's been a few studies in the ear
ly '80s of his work and really not
much attention since. Twenty years of
him being basically ignored."
Huffman added that he hopes the
symposium will help debunk the
myths that Kesey was simply a "dope
fiend," and show the world the liter
ary merit of his work.
The symposium coincides with the
University Theatre's production of Ke
sey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
The city of Eugene will also be tip
ping its hat to Kesey today at 1 p.m. by
unveiling of a life-size statue of him, ti
tled "The Storyteller," on the comer of
Willamette Street and Broadway. Pete
Helzer sculpted the statue — which de
picts the author sitting on a granite
bench reading to three children —
from bronze, according to a press re
lease from project coordinator Cathy
Briner. Quotes from his novels will be
inscribed along the sides of the bench.
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer
Brian Lanker, a friend of Kesey's, led the
committee that raised the estimated
$ 120,000 needed to complete the stat
ue. So far, more than 90 percent of the
needed funds have been raised.
“I'm extremely gratified by the over
whelming and far-reaching support for
this memorial/' banker stated. "Ken's im
pact from the grass-roots level to famous
admirers across the country has been a
testament of the rightness of this project."
The symposium and the statue un
veiling are both free and open to the
public. More information about the
symposium can be found at http://ke
sey.uoregon.edu/.
Those interested in donating to the
statue project can call Briner at 689

its ear," he said.
Unless donated cell phones are
damaged beyond repair, they are re
furbished and distributed to com
munities in Latin American and de
veloping countries. Although the
organization had a rusty start, Col
lectiveGood has grown to recycle
more than 100,000 phones in col
laboration with about 250 charities
across the United States. Consider
ing new cell phone technologies
such as color screens and cameras
are becoming more popular and less
expensive, Heine said he expects a
lot more phone donations in the
near future.
On April 27, Earth Day, Collective
Good began working with the office
supply chain Staples to provide an
other easy way to donate cell phones
via store collection tubes. Staples cus
tomers can drop off phones, PDAs,
pagers and chargers in the clear, plas
tic tubes located near the cell phone
display in every store, including the
2370 W. 11 Ave. location in Eugene.
People interested in donating their
old cell phones to CollectiveGood can
participate in the comfort of their own
homes by visiting the company Web
site, www.colleaivegood.com, and
downloading free shipping labels.
"People can do it on a Saturday
morning in their bunny slippers," he
said. "They don't even need to leave
the house."
