Eugene Parks and Recreation Department Westmoreland Community Center 2,326.00 Trude Kaufman Community Center 18,000.00 l On questioning from Mr. Teague, Manager said it is his understanding the Council i,action was to reserve for the auditorium those amounts of the Room Tax Fund not \ allocated to other uses during each fiscal year. There was no percentage amount set. Courici1man Hershner asked whether the allocation to Volunteer Services Council would', come under the provisions of the Charter amendment as to uses of these funds. Manager said before the funds are disbursed the amendment will be checked to be sure. Mrs. Campbell said she was sure that organization qualified. However, she was con~ cerned that the allocation was only $2,500 when the Volunteer Services had requested '$5,000. She noted the types of services provided by the organization and urged the Council to consider allocating the full amount requested. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mr. Teague to approve the recommendations as presented I by the Committee. ; Campbell moved seconded by Mrs. Bea1 to amend the motion to allocate $5,000 to : Mrs. e :the Volunteer Services Council. Councilmen williams and Bradshaw were concerned about bypassing the commi ttee' s recom- : mendation and wondered 'whether the suggested increase should be reviewed first by the; , commi ttee. Mrs. Bea1 suggested holding approval of the report until the allocation has been reviewed by the commi ttee and the Vol unteer Servi ces Council. . I I Further discussion resulted in agreement to withdraw the amending motion so that allocation of the funds could be made as recommended.

The agreement pro- vides for District on-call fire protection service for the airport which will par- , ,tia11y meet requirements of the FAA for response time necessary in order to be certified to serve commercial airlines. New standards established by the FAA appear , to make the present system inadequate. Under the agreement the City will provide free dispatching service to the District in return for their response to calls. It . will be necessary to add two maintenance employes at the airport who will also serve~ e as standby operators of the City's crash equipment. In answer to Mrs. Bea1, Manager explained that the additional personnel at the air- port are not a part of the agreement. provision for these positions is in the p1an- ,ning stage and will be presented to the Council as a part of the revenue sharing Q recommendations in the near future. It is planned that the personnel will be en- gaged in pxoductive work except for emergency requirements of operating the crash equipment. Mrs. Beal asked what effect the new Federal security regulations to guard against ~highjacking at airports will have on the local airport.
