Obie. <br /> <br />I. PUBLIC FORUM <br /> <br />Councilor Wooten opened the public forum, inviting citizens to comment on <br />issues not included in present or upcoming City Council agendas. Receiving no <br />requests to speak, she closed the public forum. <br /> <br />II. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> <br />A. Culture/Leisure Plan (memo, background information distributed) <br /> <br />City Manager Micheal Gleason introduced the item. Mary Winston, Parks and <br />Recreation, delivered the staff report. She said preparation for the Cu1ture/ <br />Leisure Plan was begun as a work program for the Six Point Economic Diversifi- <br />cation Program. A 60-member citizen planning team representing culture and <br />leisure organizations as well as the public at large volunteered over 1000 <br />hours between January and September of 1984 to draw up the plan. The plan <br />assumes that culture/leisure opportunities contribute to the communityls <br />quality of life as well as its economic vitality. <br /> <br />The three major issue areas addressed by the plan are coordination, resource <br />development, and community image and marketing. The plan proposes a partner- <br />ship between the public and private sectors for its implementation. The <br />appendix includes suggested actions, background data and an inventory of <br />culture/leisure resources in the community. <br /> <br />Ms. Winston said the Planning Commission spent much time reviewing these <br />resources; the commission focused on the relationship between the Culture/ <br />Leisure Plan and the Community Goals and Policies document, the City's finan- <br />cial role in culture and leisure events, and the nature of the proposed <br />partnership. On April 29, 1985, City Council adopted the draft plan at the <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission, including additions and deletions <br />proposed by the commission during the review period. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />May 13, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 1 <br />
