<br /> ~ <br />. <br /> B. <br />. Manager said that the City is disappointed that EDA funding for the <br /> convention center is Priority 3, and feels that a request should be <br /> made to move it to a No. 1 priority. <br /> Mr. Jim Farah said that the requested $1.4 million is fifty percent of <br /> the total estimated cost of the convention center facility. He feels <br /> that the cultural and economic effects of the convention center will <br /> be far-reaching for the entire county, as well as outside the county. <br /> Mayor Keller asked that the Council request Ms. Schue to lobby, making <br /> a strong presentation, and do everything in her physical and mental <br /> power to move the item to a No. 1 priority. He said that the process <br /> a year ago failed because City was told that if they were priority 1, <br /> 2, or 3, there was a strong possibility for funding, but, shortly <br /> thereafter, they were informed that no priority 2, 3, or 4 project had <br /> ever received funding. <br /> Mr. Haws left the meeting. <br /> Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to inform L-COG that the <br /> City requests that EDA funding for the Eugene Convention Center be <br /> a No. 1 priority. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Mr. Lieuallen left the meeting. <br />e MISCELLANEOUS <br /> A. Manager's Salary Increase <br /> Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the City Manager's <br /> salary be increased by six-and-one-half percent, effective July 1, <br /> 1979. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Items IX and X of the agenda are to be carried over to the July 9 meeting. Item <br /> VIII will not receive action today because all payments have not been received. <br /> Upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ~ ) <br /> Charles T.
