City of Eugene - Measure 20-211

Measure 20-211 asks Eugene voters if they would rather pay a capped, monthly City Service Fee to maintain funding for certain community services, or have those services reduced or eliminated.
If approved, this measure would authorize a monthly fee to maintain:

*        public safety services, such as a fire company (fire engine and nine firefighters/paramedics), police detectives, mobile mental health crisis team (CAHOOTS) and teen court

*        homeless and basic human services such as emergency shelter for homeless youth

*        quality of life services such as downtown and branch libraries, Sheldon swimming pool, recreation programs and services, neighborhood park restrooms and parks maintenance

The measure would raise funds by authorizing City Council to impose a monthly fee of no more than $10/month for residences and $30/month for businesses. The actual fee would be set by Council. The measure would require Council to establish a program for assistance to low income individuals who would be subject to the fee. An oversight committee would annually determine whether revenues generated by the fee were spent for authorized purposes. Council would be required to review the fee after five years to decide if it should be revised or terminated.

Keep the Sheldon and Bethel branch libraries open, maintaining current service levels.

Keep the downtown Eugene Public Library open seven days a week.



Yes (32.96%) No (67.04)
