3 <br />f. ,:,~ <br />h ~ .. <br />,} , ;' CLYNE David <br />We got one! Monday - October 15th at 10:00 am (7unction City Offices - 680 Greenwood) <br />While we are all waiting anxiously for this date to come, I would like to throw out a very <br />''tentative proposal for folks to chew on based on my read of the last meeting: <br />1) a County-wide fuel tax set at $.07 or $.08; collected and distributed by the <br />State. <br />2) the first $.05 of the fuel tax goes to each jurisdiction (i.e. County gets <br />`° unincor orated collections, Cities <br />p , get ihcorporated). <br />- 3) the "remaining $.02 or $.03 in both~t{ie incorporated and unincorporated areas-goes <br />to the County;(i.e. only County collects): <br />4) Each entity reserves the right`~to independently levy any additional tax as they <br />choose. <br />5) The Oregon Petroleum Association i.s engaged in the discussion with an ultimafe <br />goal of either obtaining their``support or neutrality. <br />6) Current collections based upon an existing 2005 LCOG survey are approximately <br />$1.2 million per penny.for the combined totals of Eugene, Springfield, Veneta; <br />Oakridge and Cottage Grove. Estimates for 7unction City are approximately $50,000 <br />per penny. I have no information for estimated collections in Florence, Creswell, <br />Lowell, Dunes City and the unincorporated areas. I suspect we are talking <br />,. conseryatively about $1.5 - 2,0 million per penny with all jurisdictions <br />~ included. ; <br />There you have it. <br />Regards, , <br />David Clyne, City Administrator ~ <br />RO Box 250 <br />- Junction City, OR 97448 <br />(541) 998-4761 <br />Ps - Sorry Paul. I could not find a single•d'ate that everyone could make and since you <br />indicated that you need not be there, I:picked this one as the only other one available. <br />1. <br />
