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.
Paulus, who is a University
graduate in park and recreation
management, came to Eugene
Parks and Recreation Depart
ment from River Road Park
District, She and her husband,
Donald, have three children and
have been active in DeMolay and
Job’s Daughters. She is currently
treasurer for the Emerald
Empire Council on Aging.

county room tax aiscussea
A proposed county-wide
transient room tax was discussed
at a public meeting June 15 for all
Lane County owners and
managers of motels, hotels, and
resorts.
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.
