At the Wednesday City Council meeting-of-the-whole, a member of the Lane County Auditorium Association (LCAA) requested guidance in determining a suitable amount for submittal as a bond issue. The estimated cost of the project ranges from $7,697,000 to $8,354,000 depending on the choice of three variances in design. The LCAA expects to receive about three million dollars in donations, including a Eugene renewal agency site and utility outlay of between $400,000 and $600,000, however, the major burden would still be on the city By RANDY YOUNG Of the Emerald The LCAA was established by the mayor and city council about 1965 to look into the possibility of such an auditorium. They now will make finalized plans and recommendations for the project within the council approved five plus million dollar limitation and re present it to the council at a later date. One might ask how much this will raise property taxes if the bond issue is passed. This bond issue is “front loaded” says City Manager Hugh McKinley. “There will be a decrease in annual costs over the length of the issue.” If you own a $20,000 home you would probably pay an extra $16 the first year with the tax ad dition decreasing each year for the twenty year life of the bond issue. This breaks down to about 79 cents for each thousand dollars of real property value the first year The complex would cover both sides of Willamette Street be tween 6th and 7th streets and would probably include most of the following: WOMEN & MINORITIES ME ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR THE POSITION OF EMERALD EDITOR applicants mil hi picked * M 10141 EMU ad Hist hi retimed by Spi IMrsday April 6. ***•<» lor by Oivo Sonnmtfia • an auditorium suitable for conventions seating 2,600 to 2,800 • an arena-theatre ac commodating 600 to 650 persons in a performance arrangement or 1,600 if used as a meeting area 0 a music rehearsal hall • ten supplementary meeting rooms • a restaurant (with franchise leased out by city) • snack bar and several other services. Councilman Fred Mohr added the suggestion that there should be an established scheme for maximizing the self-supporting nature of the facility for reducing the citizens’ tax burdens. The land on which the proposed auditorium complex would be built is now reserved under the city urban renewal. Architect John Amundson will be the designer. The council also tentatively passed a proposal to designate a walkway on the west side of Willamette between 34th and 36th streets wnd from 37th to 39th for school children going to and from Dunn School. Also, the proposal would establish a school crossing with posts and a “school crossing” warning sign to be established across Willamette at Dunn School rather than at 36th street. Tentative agreement was made to budget $33,000 to the construction of a railroad bridge across West Belt Line Floodway. The remainder of the cost will be carried by the Southern Pacific Co. The floodway, not yet con structed, is part of a general storm drainage plan for the entire west end of Eugene, said McKinley. A final report on the city subsidy of the Eugene bus system was also made at the meeting. In May of 1970, said McKinley, the city advanced $55,050 to the Emerald Transportation Com pany to keep them operating. Since that time, the governor appointed Mass Transit District was formed and took over the bussing job. Just recently, the city’s funds were reimbursed almost in their entirety. The $265 deficit in repayment was a small cost to the city to keep the bus system going, he added. McKinley also mentioned that the Mass Transit District, which includes Eugene, Springfield and outlying areas in its service, is expecting 22 new buses sometime in June of this year and are buying used buses from Los Angeles. By the way, the Eugene Fire Department is celebrating its 100th birthday this week. Ail citizens are invited to visit any local fire stations until 9 p.m. this week and see the display and exhibition at the Lane County Fairgrounds at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. All decisions made at a council of-the-whole meeting are subject to re-evaluation at regular “official” city council meetings on Monday nights. [ Community j Humane Society offers certificates In an effort to curb the problem of animal over-population in Lane County, the Lane County Humane Society and the Lane County Veterinarian Medical Association has announced a program that will reduce the cost of spaying animals. Last year, the Society handled over 26,000 animals, 10 per cent of which they were able to find homes for. About 22,000 of them were put to sleep. “People condemn us for this,” said Everett W. McVicker, executive director of the Society, “but where would they go if they didn't have a shelter to bring them to?” The regular cost of the operation is about $22 and up for a cat, and $27.50 and over for a dog, depending upon their weight and age. Under the program, it would be possible to obtain certificates that would drop the cost of $15 for cats and $17-$40 for dogs. The difference between the regular cost of the operation and the reduced cost under the certificate program will be funded by veterinary clinics co-operating in the program, and $3000 from the Lane County Humane Society. The spay certificates will be automatically available to anyone adopting an animal from the shelter. The certificates are also available to low income pet owners who can establish financial need. The program is designed to aid low income families. Applications are available by applying in person at the Lane County Humane Society, 350 North Green Hill Road. Divorce discussion series offered A discussion series entitled “The Life Style of Divorce” is being offered by Family Counseling Services of Lane County beginning April 6 The program, whcih is free and open to the public, is designed to otter information to persons involved in the divorce process.
