Mrs. Shirey moved seconded by Mr. Keller to approve the recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. C. Lane County Auditorium Association reguested $32,500. Allocation Committee recommended approval. Councilman Murray said that Catherine Lauris, Auditorium Association representative, had advised him that members of the Association were unable to be present at this meeting. However, she expressed willingness for the Council to either proceed with its discussion or to postpone until Association members could be present. Hayor Anderson suggested holding the issue until members could be present since the Council had not been apprised recently of the Association's objectives and if allocation of room tax funds to the Association was to continue the Council should be aware of how the money would be spent.

Western Rivers Girl Scout Council requested $19,500 for rebuilding Camp Cleowox. Allocation Committee recommended denial on the basis that the request did not fall within the guidelines for use of room tax funds. NO action was taken. e E. Parks and Recreation Department requested $4,050, $1,500 of which would be used for a performance shell and necessary wiring at Skinners Butte Park, the balance to fund a series of summer concerts in the Park and drama, dance, and music events in the Mall. Allocation Committee recommended approval. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Keller to approve the allocation. Betty Niven, 3940 Hilyard Street; expressed concern about amplified music in Skinners Butte Park, if that was why the electrical wiring was being installed, because of proximity of retirement apartments and elderly households. Ed Smith, parks and recreation director, explained that the wiring would be used for sound amplification, but the parks department was trying to establish a place where there would be some measure of control. This location would seem one of the less objectionable places where this type activity could take place and there would be control over the sound, volume, where it could be "plugged in," number of events, etc. In response to Councilman Murray, Mr. Smith said the shell would be located just east of Lamb Cottage. Vote was taken on the motion to approve the $4,050 allocation. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Williams entered the meeting. F. (III-A-2) Musicians Mutual Association requested $3,554.10, to be matched by funds from the Musicians Trust Fund, for seven professional band concerts. The Allocation Committee recommended denial, at the same time asking Council members to give some consideration to duplication of the parks department request by this application. Approval of the parks department request and denial of this was seen as a question of comparing which funds went further and reached the most people in the community. - 2..&<0 5/27/75 Corom apI-rove 5/14/75 Corom approve 5/14/75 9
