<br /> F. Lane County Auditorium Financing Plan, How to Present to People - Lee Bishop, president I
<br /> 12/15/71 of Lane County Auditorium Association, said a public opinion poll had recently been
<br /> completed by Richard Kennedy and Associates, for Lane County Audi tori um Assn. He
<br /> introduced Mr. Richard Kennedy who distributed a summary report recently compiled from
<br /> the public opinion poll. The full report will be made available at a later date. The
<br /> survey was of registered voters of the city of Eugene, taken in November. He outlined
<br /> the report, and results gathered from the poll.

<br /> " Councilmen queried Mr. Kennedy about questions asked, how they were framed,
<br /> I and what
<br /> I, the results might have been had the questions been framed in another manner.

<br /> Mr. Bishop explained that the City and County had jointly employed Mr. Jack Jarvis to
<br /> make an economic impact study.
<br /> Mr. Jack Jarvis explained the economic survey conducted by his firm in terms of devel-
<br /> opment feasibility determination, economic impact feasibility determination, employ-
<br /> ment impact determination and general effect on the downtown core. The study had shown
<br /> that present parking supply is inadequate, there is no shortage of convention centers,
<br />II and the auditorium-recital portion of the complex would be self-supporting. The study
<br /> showed that the center should be devoted to concern hall, recital, theatre and meeting
<br /> rooms, wi th the possibili ty of expanding in the future to the pavilion type convention
<br /> center proposed.
<br /> Councilmen questioned Mr. Jarvis about the economic feasibility of alternative sites, I
<br /> and whether the center could be self-supporting with the subsidy from the room tax fund.
<br /> The study considered only the downtown site, and Mr. Jarvis felt that the convention
<br /> portion would not be used sufficiently, and would become a financial drain.
<br /> Mr. Williams expressed concern with this statement, since a previous report from the
<br /> Auditorium Association had left just the opposite impression. Mr. Jarvis could not
<br /> explain the previous report.
<br /> Mr. Ted Baker said a financial seminar had been conducted, and that the unanimous con- e
<br /> elusion had been to seek a bond issue before proceeding wi th pri vate financing, and that
<br /> the amount co be expended be kept under $10,000,000. The Association felt the Council
<br /> should take action and place this issue before the people.
<br /> Mr. Bishop commented that EWEB might be receiving $300,000 per year from operation of the
<br /> Trojan Nuclear Plant, and proposed that this amount be allocated to the Auditorium
<br /> Convention facility to retire the bond issue. File
<br />Ii G. Civil Service Commission, Status - Manager explained that the section of the new code
<br />;! 12/15/71 which spelled out the responsibilities of the Civil Service commission had been deleted
<br />;. because of uncertainty regarding its responsibilities under collective bargaining
<br />il procedures. Firefighters, in negotiating, have requested that sections of the old
<br />':
<br />, code dealing with these responsibilities be inserted into the new code. Staff feels
<br /> this is inappropriate, at this time, because negotiations are presently in process with
<br /> firefighters and police benefi t association for determination of new contracts. It is I
<br /> staff belief that the old code is inappropriate because many of the areas of responsi-
<br /> bility of the old Civil Service COrrmllss~on have been assumed in collective bargaining.
<br /> No action taken or required. File
<br />" H. Request for City Attorney Research Regarding Requirement for Public Hearings - Manager
<br />:; 12/15/71 explained that Mr. Mohr's request had generated a great deal more research than anti-
<br /> cipated. It has become apparent that a great number of public hearings are held as a
<br /> matter of policy, rather than legal requirements, and it is suggested that perhaps an e
