Ms. Elmer suggested that the earlier suggestion of the Mayor that leading planners of previous <br />celebrations and members of the City Council plan the Request for Qualifications to be issued be <br />considered. <br /> <br />Mr. Laue suggested that current members of the Eugene Celebration Steering Committee be <br />used to help develop the Request for Qualifications. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson said she would be briefly available to be involved in fundamental issues related to <br />the Request for Qualifications. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked when the 1998 Eugene Celebration was scheduled. Mr. Johnson replied that <br />the event was scheduled for September 18-20. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor said she wanted to provide a City subsidy for the 1998 Eugene Celebration and that <br />she believed there was ample resources in the Contingency Fund to provide it. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lee moved that debate cease and the council immediately precede to <br /> vote on the pending question. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey determined there was no councilor willing to second the motion of Mr. Lee and <br />declared it was not under consideration. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson said that Eugene Celebration staff Carol Brewster had expressed to him that the <br />decision under consideration would not guarantee that a 1998 event would occur. <br /> <br /> The motion to transition management of the Eugene Celebration to a <br /> qualified nonprofit corporation was adopted, 6:1, Ms. Taylor voting no. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />James R.
