<br /> .. <br /> Mr. Loomis, 3540 Pearl, chairman of the Downtown Development Board, <br /> said that the subcommittee has recommended these steps be taken e <br /> in time for the Christmas season. He said the subcommittee has <br /> concerned itself with all aspects of lighting, security, and safety. <br /> Fi nanci al studi es have been compl eted by Oi ck Morg.lll of the P.ll'k s <br /> Department, and Mr. Loomis said these projects would represent a cost <br /> savings of about $3,000 to $4,000 a year. It is hoped that further <br /> lighting modificat~ons can occur later. <br /> It was Council consensus that the project was worthwhile and <br /> it was understood that appropriate budget transfers would appear <br /> on the October 31 Council agenda. <br /> D. Request For Use of Civic Emergency Fund Monies--Assistant Manager said <br /> that the Civic Emergency Fund receives about $2,000 a year in revenue, <br /> which represents six percent of the gross gate of boxing and wrestling <br /> matches in Eugene. State law requires that these funds be spent <br /> specifically for educational, recreational, and public welfare-oriented <br /> act iviti es. No money has been expended from that fund for four or <br /> five years, and the West Eugene Boxing Club is now requesting funds <br /> for the purchase of an AAU-approved ring that can be transferred from <br /> facility to facility. The cost would be $7,560. <br /> Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to authorize expenditure <br /> of $7,560 from the Civic Emergency Fund for an AAU-approved ring. <br /> Motion carried, all Councilors present voting aye, except Mr. <br /> Delay and Mr. Obie voting no. <br /> e <br />II.
