<br /> Mayor Keller noted that people have indicated a desire to speak but this is not <br /> a public hearing. Concensus of the council was to allow Mr. Radcliffe of the <br />e Convention Bureau and Mr. Miller of Eugene Summer to speak. <br /> Mr. lieuallen said that the Eugene Summer Program had received $9,000 last <br /> winter. This $9,000, coupled with the $59,110 of the room tax allocation means <br /> the chamber received closer to $68,000 last year. He also wanted clarification <br /> as to whether any of the Lane Regional Arts Council money has gone to the <br /> Convention Bureau. Mr. Henry responded that that is separate. <br /> David Radcliffe, 4510 Briars, stated that a metropolitan Eugene-Springfield <br /> convention center was formed. Their highest priority was for the City of <br /> Eugene. The funding given to them has been responsible for $5.5 million <br /> of new convention business within the Eugene-Springfield area. They have <br /> requested the full 25 percent this year. They are working with a bare-bones <br /> budget for what is needed to step into a competitive market. They feel they <br /> need to expand and they hope the council will support their efforts. Budget <br /> information from the chamber has been given previously to the council. <br /> Philip Miller, 580 West 8th, stated they have had cooperation in the last year. <br /> The arts are becoming more important. They would like a Eugene Summer Task <br /> Force to be developed. This group would work with the convention people, the <br /> arts community, and staff. They have had a good working relationship in the <br /> past and would like to see this improved by representation on the board. <br /> Ms. Smith noted she is in support of the entire 25 percent being allocated. She <br /> thinks a task force would be helpful. Mr. Lieuallen noted that Mr. Radcliffe <br />e and co-workers should be thanked for the work that they have done and felt <br /> they have accomplished a great deal. He feels that use of the room tax monies <br /> would be a reinvestment in the cycle. He would like to see this reviewed on a <br /> continuing basis. He noted it is important that they come in with a line item <br /> budget. He would like the bureau to report back on the task force proposal. <br /> Ms. Miller stated that last year it was determined that the Convention Bureau <br /> should be separate from the Chamber of Commerce. She had two main concerns. <br /> She hopes they will continue to work with groups such as Eugene Summer, LRAC, <br /> etc., as tourist attractors and hosts and, too, she expects they will continue <br /> to broaden their funding basis as she would like to see Lane County contribute <br /> also. Mr. Obie stated he supports the 25-percent recommendation and appreciates <br /> the willingness of separate factions to work together. Ms. Schue stated she is <br /> also pleased and noted agreement with Mr. lieuallen. She stated the figure <br /> works out to 25 percent this year but there is no guarantee that it will be that <br /> percentage for next year. She would like to review it again next year. <br /> Res. No. 3388--A resolution designating the Eugene Chamber of Commerce as <br /> the supplier of specific services and authorizing the City <br /> Manager to execute an agreement for the provision of such <br /> services for fiscal year 1980-81. <br /> Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to adopt the resolution. <br />e <br /> 6/23/80--15 <br />
