<br />F. Christmas Music on Downtown Mall - Eugene Downtown Association requested permission
<br />to provide amplified Christmas music on the Downtown Mall from November 24 'to
<br />December 23. Manager reviewed Council action taken on May 25, 1970 approving in-
<br />stallation of the conduit in conjunction wi th mall construction. The Council in
<br />approving installation of the conduit at that time reserved the right to control
<br />its use. Smeed Sound Service has been requested by EDA to install the sound
<br />equipment. Staff takes no position, although there is no objection to the; tradi-
<br />tional type music.
<br />
<br />Charles Wickizer, speaking for the Downtown Association, said the object of the I
<br />request was to provide a Christmas atmosphere and that the music would be heard
<br />in the street area only. Glenn Smeed explained that the service would be accom-
<br />'plished by running a small wire on structures in the mall area so that it could be
<br />taken down quickly. Enough speakers will be installed so that the music will not .,
<br />be loud, and connected to a time clock so that it can be turned off. He said
<br />Mr. Wickizer will "police" it to be sure the sound is not too loud. In answer to I >-
<br />Mrs. Beal, Mr. Smeed said use of the conduit is not necessary, the advantage in
<br />using it is so that the wiring will not be visible. In answer to Mr. Williams,
<br />Mr. Smeed said the basic request was not for use of the conduit, but they were
<br />advised if the condui t is used the Council would have to give its permission. He II
<br />said it would be more complicated to use it, and they would just as soon run the
<br />wires through the air.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal reviewed action taken by the Council' in' approving installation of the
<br />conduit in the mall, saying it was felt at that time to be less expensive than having
<br />; to install it after construction should it be required. However, it was understood
<br />i at that time it would not be used to provide amplified music. Manager said, the
<br />.; Council motion did not say the conduit could not be used to provide music, simply
<br />! that the Council would have to give permission. i,
<br />
<br />, Councilman Williams had some reservation about the use of public conduit for pri-
<br />vate lines and about electronically amplified sound of any type on the mall. However,
<br />he said, since it has been allowed in other instances, it would seem appropriate to
<br />allow Christmas music unless all types of music are stopped. '

<br />members to ded~cat~on of the Salvat~on Army Chr~stmas tree wh~ch has been ~nstalled ..
<br />on the mall.
<br />
<br />Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to allow music to be played quietly on Comm
<br />the mall from lbvember 24 to December 23, but to deny use of the conduit :lor that 11/22/72
<br />purpose. Motion carried, Mrs. Beal voting no. Approve
