Richard L. Hansen, 2744 Tomahawk Lane, said that he had recently been elected e to the Clty Council. He supported the naming of the center for the Hults. He pointed out that commericial businesses pay 65 percent of area property taxes. He urged the council to reaffirm the naming of the Hult Center. Robert E. Moulton, 260 East 11th Avenue, waived his time in favor of other speakers. Janet Johnston, 2555 Central Boulevard, noted that she was the president of the Eugene Symphony Association but that she was speaking on her own behalf. She felt that the names of the Hult Center, the Eugene Hilton, and the Eugene Conference Center, all located in Eugene Centre, were a good reflection of the public/private partnership used to construct the complex. William Bain, 1755 Balboa, said that the building of the Eugene Center complex was a I5-year project, with history going back 30 years. He noted that commer- cial and industrial property taxes had paid a good portion of the property tax contributions that had made the center a reality. He felt that the council had participated in good representative government in making the decision to name the center for the Hults.
