<br />B. 'Room-Tax Allocation Report - August 10, 1973- CopIes of the report were previously
<br /> distributed to Council members recommending the fOllowing allocations:
<br /> 1. Eugene Symphony $ 15,000.00
<br /> 2. Eugene Junior Symphony 2,500.00
<br /> 3. South Citizens for All-weather Track 8,500.00
<br /> 4. Parks & Recreation Department for Park Concert 718.00
<br /> 5. Park & Recreation Department for Youth Outreach
<br /> Staff at Westmoreland 7,783.87
<br /> 6. Park & Recreation Department for Summer Student I
<br /> , Music Program 900.00
<br /> 7. Chicano and Native American Affairs Festival 3,000.00
<br /> $ 38,401.87 -..
<br /> Glenn Cougi1l, chairman of the Room Tax Allocation Committee, reviewed the recom-
<br /> mended allocations. He said the allocation to the Eugene Symphony was given with
<br /> the understanding that that amount would not necessarily be available each year
<br /> but was considered appropriate at this time because of the organization's new
<br /> program involving a full-time administrator. The allocation for surfacing the All-
<br /> weather Track at South Eugene High was believed appropriate in view of joint school/
<br /> city use and assurance from the School District that the track will be available.
<br /> at reasonable times for public use. Funding for the Youth Outreach Program at
<br /> Westmoreland Park follows previous assistance from Room Tax revenues, however it I
<br /> is anticipated the program will be funded through the Parks Department budget in
<br /> the future.
<br /> In answer tQ,. Councilwoman Campbell, the Youth Outreach Program was described by t
<br />- ----- Councilmen Murray and Wood. It provides an informal recreation center for that
<br /> age group in which delinquency has been a problem and involves various types of
<br /> activities inCluding development of a work program and tutoring handicapped children.
<br />.. ..
<br />- - Councilwoman Campbell wondered if it would be an appropriate expenditure of Room
<br />~
<br /> Tax funds to provide an amplifying system to be used in the Downtown Mall by groups I
<br /> I
<br /> i
<br /> en~aged in cultural activities - music, skits, etc. . She thought purchase of a piano; ..
<br /> for use in that area might also be a logical expenditure of those funds. +
<br /> t
<br /> Mr. Wood moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to refer the ques tion of funding an ampli:':-- ,c
<br /> fying system for cultural activities in the Downtown Mall to the recently-appointed
<br /> Mall Committee. Motion carried unanimously. Com
