Hayward Field Mr. Rutan reported that the renovation of Hayward Field was proceeding. He said comments about the intergovernmental agreement or the project could be given to him or to Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow before Tuesday's meeting. Mr. Rutan said the Hayward Field project now was substantially underfunded, with the only identified revenues to come from bonds paid for through an increase in room taxes. He said that issue would be a part of the package of recommendations that would come back to the City Council and Springfield for action after the agreement was completed. Mayor Obie said he thought the City should buy a certain amount (such as five or six days per year) of dedicated time for free use of the facility, in addition to the regular availability of the track to the public. Mr. Rutan added that the east grandstands now were being renovated, and the overall capacity would remain the same. Ms. Schue said she had noticed that one woman and eleven men were involved with supervising the project, which was not consistent with City of Eugene policies. Mr. Rutan sa i d he recently had approached two other women, University of Oregon Student Body President Casey Brooks, who had agreed to serve, and local runner Mary Slaney, who had not yet responded. e D. Municipal Arts Committee Ms. Wooten said she had been surprised to hear of a meeting of a new municipal arts committee in Facilities Development. She said she had long been interested in forming such a committee outside of the realm of the Performing Arts Commission, and she asked about the process of selection and appointment that had been used for the group. Mr. Gleason said the committee worked with projects affected by the one-percent-for-art funding requirement. He sa i d past projects had been pursued with ad hoc committees, and he agreed to provide a report to the City Council. E.
