REQUEST OF CIVIC EMERGENCY FUNDS FOR 1983 NORTHWEST SENIOR SPORTS FESTIVAL (memo distributed) e Mr. Gleason said that a motion of the council was necessary to prepare a supple- mental budget to grant the use of Civic Emergency funds. Mayor Keller said that the Senior Sports Festival was planned as a ten-day event and that it was hoped this would become an annual event. He urged support of the event as a destination-point activity and felt the $3,500 would be good seed money to help the event get under way. Mayor Keller introduced Doug Post, Assistant Recreation Superintendent, Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Post said that private sector groups were working with representatives of the University of Oregon and Lane Community College in organizing the event. Councilor Holmer agreed that the City should support the event. He requested information on the amount of the Civic Emergency Fund and on previous expendi- tures from the fund for this year. He questioned the propriety of making an outright grant to an undertaking which it was hoped would become self-sustaining and suggested that the funds be made as a loan to be repaid by registration fees collected at the event. Finance Director Warren Wong said that there was currently $8,000 in the fund, with $2,500 in revenues budgeted for this year, and that no funds had been expended from the fund this year. Councilor Wooten noted that a grant had been made in a previous year to a local organization to provide Thanksgiving dinners for those who would not otherwise be able to have them. e Councilor Obie noted that portions of the Civic Emergency Fund were dedicated to specific groups. He asked why 60 percent was dedicated to use by Veterans' organizations. Mr. Wong responded that the fund was established by State statutes, which required that 60 percent of the proceeds go to Veterans' organiza- tions and 40 percent to charitable organizations. Responding to a question from Ms. Schue, Mayor Keller said that the 40-percent charitable contribution was further broken down for ~location to specific types of activities. Mr. Post said that the grant request before the council was in the category of cultural, recreational, and amateur sports activities. He noted that the organizers of the Senior Sports Festival hoped that after this initial start-up, the event would be totally fee-supported. MINUTES--Eugene City Council March 2, 1983 Page 3
