<br /> Councilman Hershner although not comfortable with granting a lump sum for investment
<br /> purposes recognized the Symphony's ucrrent needs for operating expenses and suggested
<br /> increasing the allocation by $700. He also recognized the desirability for Allocation
<br />. Committee review of the additional funds suggested: Councilman Williams and Wood
<br /> agreed that the proper procedure would be for Room Tax Committee consideration.
<br /> Mr. Wood said he would not be opposed to doubling tbat amount if the money was to be
<br /> used to organize a fund drive.
<br /> Mr. Williams said it would be assumed, lacking any amendment, that the allocation of
<br /> $15,000 would be approved~ and that the Symphony; Association would approach the Room
<br /> Tax Committee for a recommendation to the Council with regard to additional funds for
<br /> employment of a ticket manager/secretary. .
<br /> Further discussion centered on activities of the Symphony for the coming season
<br /> and time element involved (July 15, deadline) to enable proper handling of ticket
<br /> sales, etc. i
<br /> Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to allocate an~additional $1,000 to
<br /> the Eugene Symphone Association, the additional funds to be used for employment
<br /> of part-time ticket manager/secretary, and that this action be referred to the
<br /> Room Tax Allocation Committee for their concurrence or disagreement by July 15, 1974.
<br /> Councilman. Keller stated his opposition to the motion on the basis that the "ground
<br /> rules" were being- changed and this was not the proper procedure for doing that. He
<br />. said the request was totaily different from that originally,referredtot~e Allocation
<br /> Committee and should come to the Council on recommendation of the Committee itself.
<br /> Councilwoman Beal agreed but felt there was a question of timing because of the
<br /> Symphony's needs in relation to the dates of Room Tax Committee meetings.
<br /> Councilman McDonald deplored the manner in which the Room Tax Allocations were being
<br /> pandled, saying the procedure seemed to be straying from that intended. Councilman .
<br /> Wood had no reservations about changing the allocation. He saw no reason to send
<br /> it back to the Committee.
<br /> Councilwoman Campbell called for the question and.vote was taken on motion to
<br /> increase the allocation by $1,000 ($16,000:total), the money to be available
<br /> to the Eugene Symphony on July 15, 1974 if there was no objection from the
