New supervisor named for Amazon community center The Eugene Parks and Recreation Department has selected Betty Paulus as the supervisor for the new Amazon Village Community Center, 2700 Hilyard St. Paulus has been with the department for nearly three years as an assistant supervisor at Celeste Campbell Senior Center. She will be assigned to the Amazon Village complex beginning July 2 to start preparations for the opening of the center, pending adoption of an operating budget. The July 19 city budget election will deter mine how soon the center will be able to expand program services. Sue Douglas, information coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department, said that the extent of the center’s operations will depend upon the success of the city budget. “To hire any additional staff we have to have the budget,” said Douglas, “I can’t predict the outcome of the elections, however we will open in some fashion even if we recruit volunteers.” The budget proposal includes monies for hiring an assistant supervisor to work with youth, a part-time receptionist and maintenance personnel for the complex. The department will operate the center on a limited basis the rest of the summer with a more comprehensive program planned for this fall. Paulus or a volunteer will be at the center to answer phone calls and talk with the public between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning July 9. She will also be making com munity contacts, locating equipment and working on preliminary program plans. Until budget considerations are finalized, the center will utilize existing staff from other facilities and volunteers as they are available.

Harry Durrie, fiscal management officer for the county, answered questions regarding the ordinance, proposed administration, and received suggestions and com ments for the Board of Com missioners. Lane County’s Budget Com mittee recently proposed the county-wide transient room tax as a new source of revenue for the county. The new ordinance would levy a county-wide 5 per cent tax on room rents charged, with incorported cities receiving 3 per cent of the amount collected. In the case of Eugene, where a room tax is already in effect, a 3 per cent credit would be given. The Budget Committee has recom mended the room tax to be ef fective August 1. The first hearing before the Board of Commissioners on the new proposal will take place next Thursday at 9 a.m. in Harris Hall, adjacent to the county court house. All those interested in the transient room tax proposal are invited to attend. read the ODE Classified
