<br />. <br /> <br />live in this community. Mr. Toland said AMSI recognizes that partnerships must <br />be developed within the four performing arts groups, with colleagues in the <br />vi sual arts, wi th educati ona1 and avocati onal arts, and in partnershi ps beyond <br />art consideration which affect the tourist industry. AMSI is seeking a part- <br />nership with City Council to better serve the needs of the community. <br /> <br />Mr. Reeves indicated the position paper represents needs as the board sees them. <br />He said money is the biggest need and emphasized that the needs of the AMSI <br />companies are not separated from the needs of the City and the HCPA. Mr. Reeves <br />stressed that the AMSI companies need the recognition that they are primary <br />components of a successful HCPA. Over the next three to fi ve years, the goal s of <br />the HCPA and AMSI are the same needs to become stablized in the center. An <br />audience base (by subscription, not single tickets) must be established. Mr. <br />Reeves said AMSI companies must become stablized in the HCPA financially. It is <br />necessary for all to do these things if the HCPA is to be characterized as a <br />successful enterprise. Mr. Reeves indicated that when discussing money, the two <br />resources of people and time must be included. All the objectives will not be <br />met immediately and the resources of the City and the companies will not allow <br />accomplishment of everything that everyone wanted in the HCPA. Therefore, he <br />said, resources must be prioritized. A performing arts center has been con- <br />structed which is not a visual arts museum or sculpture garden. Mr. Reeves feels <br />that, given limited resources, those resources should primarily be invested in <br />the performing arts organizations over the next few years. <br /> <br />Mr. Toland said the position paper lists several recommendations. He said an <br />explosive rate of growth for these organizations is shown in the packet. Money <br />is an important issue in itself and cannot be completely discussed at this <br />meeting. <br /> <br />~ Mr. Toland said there are two specific requests. The first requests that a task <br />force be appointed from individuals, a City Council representative, City staff, <br />AMSI, and di fferent groups who are affected by the pol icy issues. The task force <br />would study considerations and arrive at a consensus by June 1983. <br /> <br />Mr. Toland said the second request is that an arts office be staffed by City <br />government. A person to approach on a regular basis is needed to deal with <br />issues in the arts. Mr. Toland said a fragmented approach must be eliminated. <br /> <br />Mr. Toland emphasized the cultural component of the economic diversification plan <br />is needed. He urged that it be completed by April but requested that those <br />groups of individuals to be directly affected by the cultural plan be involved in <br />the process of its development. He stressed AMSI is not advocating acceptance or <br />rejection of the issue but wants the opportunity to discuss them in a task force <br />fo rm . <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />IV. DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Ms. B. Smith asked if performing arts groups had discussed whether rapid growth <br />can be afforded. Mr. Toland replied there had been much discussion among the <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />March 14, 1983 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />
