<br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Wooten said she had been involved with the City's adopted Culture and <br />Leisure Plan, and she asked whether discussion of the new mission statement <br />and role had included consideration of that plan. She also asked about the <br />commission's expanded role in terms of visual arts in the community and as <br />they pertained to the I-percent art acquisition ordinance. Mr. Fox said the <br />plan had been discussed, but the I-percent-for-art ordinance had not. He said <br />the commission had not attempted to deal with every issue, but he thought <br />those items would be raised and dealt with. Ms. Schue said the I-percent art <br />acquisition ordinance was implemented through other means, although she added <br />that the commission's comments might be useful. <br /> <br />Ms. Schue also raised the issue of the relationship to the Joint Parks <br />Committee, which included councilors, Planning Commissioners, and citizens, <br />and oversaw parks issues. She said discussion might be needed on some issues, <br />such as Cuthbert Amphitheatre, but she did not foresee any problems. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith said coordination with LRAC would occur, adding that he did not <br />expect conflict. He said the Culture and Leisure Plan and an LRAC action plan <br />were expected to be addressed, and he said mechanisms to resolve such issues <br />and to implement projects were being worked on. <br /> <br />Ms. Bascom noted that she was the City Council representative to the Eugene <br />Arts Foundation. She expressed support for comments that local arts groups <br />were happy with the Hult Center. She added, however, that as the season <br />comparison that had been distributed showed, local arts groups were barely <br />surviving, despite the $161,000 that had been dispensed to them. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Bascom also suggested that the commission reconsider the part of its <br />mi ssi on statement referri ng to "conti nui ng to market the City asan attractive <br />destination." She said those functions and their relationships to the <br />Convention and Visitor's Bureau and other entities were unclear, and she <br />thought that should be discussed further. <br /> <br />Ms. King said she had discussed the commission's expanded role in the visual <br />arts, and she expected it to be involved in that area. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller said he agreed with Ms. Bascom's comments that the relationship <br />between destination point programs and the arts needed work. <br /> <br />Ms. Ehrman asked about the role with regard to the Eugene Celebration Steering <br />Committee. Mr. Fox said he thought the commission might be involved with the <br />council in overseeing general program design for such events, but that issue <br />had not been resolved. <br /> <br />Mr. Rutan suggested rewording the last sentence of the first paragraph in the <br />mission statement, that the Hult Center be the "best performing arts center of <br />its kind in the United States." He said he thought it was inconsistent with <br />preceding and following sentences. Mr. Fox said that meant that the center <br />was intended to be the best center for its size and in the Northwest. <br />Mr. Rutan also suggested changing the wording of the operating statement, that <br />the Cultural Affairs Commission "shall initiate policy and planning. . ." He <br />said the council and the City Manager, rather than commissions, typically <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council Dinner/Work Session <br /> <br />June 8, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 7 <br />
