In Section 4.2, Civic Center Foundation e should be changed to Performing Arts Commission. In Section 4.3, it is recommended that wordi ng be added that "When the terms of the des ignees from the public agencies expire, they or their successor designee should be automatica'lly appointed. II In Section 5.4, it is suggested that it 1 be amended to include on the Executive Committee one representative from Eugene, one from Springfield, and one from the County, as designated by each individual public agency. Manager said the agency will be officially launched the first of the year and will combine Eugene's Convention Bureau with Springfield's. Financing will be pretty much the same for the present fiscal year, and may change after that. A nine-member executive committee is proposed. Mr. Dave Radcliffe was present to give the background on the project and to answer any questions. He said they are pleased to be creating a uni- fied effort. The one organization will better represent the hospitality industry, he said. He said that, while much has been said about the loss in the tourism industry due primarily to unstable economy and lack of fuel, tourism is, in fact, the state's third-largest industry. One of their major concerns is that this area has been securing less than 10 percent of the total receipts in Oregon for the industry. One reason for that is probably because this area has not presented a unified effort. The Chamber feels this new organization will help in that endeavor. It will pull the resources together to develop long-range funding proposals e 12/19/79--3 fc7/.f -
