On March 5, the City of Eugene Budget Committee voted to support City Manager Jon Ruiz' plan to keep the Bethel Branch of Eugene Public Library open; and to keep the Sheldon Branch open for the coming year while exploring options for future funding. This plan will also reduce the Downtown Library's Sunday hours as a cost-saving measure.
On Tuesday, April 29, 5:30 p.m., at the Downtown Eugene Public Library, the City Manager will present this plan as part of his complete Fiscal Year 2015 Proposed Budget.
On Thursday, May 1, 5:30 p.m., at the Downtown Eugene Public Library, the Budget Committee will meet to hear public comments, deliberate, and decide on their recommendation to the City Council.
