<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal referred to the cash balance shown in a prevdJous report on collections
<br />and disbursements of Room Tax funds, and asked whether. -that, mqney:, i.s invested.
<br />Finance Director replied that it is. Mrs. Beal also referred to the Maude Kerns
<br />request for $6,000 and wondered wheth~r the committee consid('!red giving funds
<br />nearer the amount requested. Former Mayor, Ed Cone, member of the Allocation Com-
<br />mittee, said the committee feels there should always be a'qash balance{IDd, al-
<br />though a figure has not been set, possibility of retaining a $100,000 balance
<br />has, been discussed. He .said the committee does not. f.eel. it is .advisable to give
<br />too great an amount to anyone organization.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal asked about the Chamber of Commerce allocation i~ 'comparison to monies'
<br />given small cultural and recreational organizations. Mr. Cone replied that the
<br />committee considered those, funds. to ,the Chamber to be for, tourist promotion w{1.1ch
<br />would in turn bring more money in room tax revenues.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Campbell concurred with Mrs. Beal's remarks with. r~gard to balance between
<br />the funds disbursed to various .organizatoins. She said the cultural 'activities
<br />also 'attract people to the CLty.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal 're'ferredtd the committee's recommendation for allocation to the Parks
<br />Department for an art program .for the elderly at Celeste Campbell Center. Mr. Cone
<br />replied that because it cis a new. program it was felt best to give -.funds to .initiate
<br />the program on a trial basis, then consider a higher amount next 'year ifthe.pro-
<br />gram succeeds.
<br />
<br />Councilman Hershner asked. if the funds from the room tax revenuesar.e -included in
<br />the City's budget process. ,'Manager replied they' are, as a l,ump,sum. --
<br />
<br />Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to approve .the committee's recommenda-
<br />tion for allocation of funds.
<br />
<br />Mrs.. Beal said she objects to the doubled allocation to the. Chamber of Commerce
<br />when the small groups of a definitely cultural nature which are struggling on
<br />limited budgets are denied funds or have their'requests for.funds cut.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Campbell said a request from the Eugene Symphony~s anticipated, and she is
<br />hopeful, they will receive funds.
