d. Graphic presentation of key data including factors such as location of <br />undeveloped land, growth patterns /trends, location of existing and <br />proposed publicly owned open space areas such as wetlands, roadside <br />areas, drainage ways, etc. <br />During the preparation of the 1989 Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan, Gary <br />Chenkin contributed close to 1,000 hours on the project. While I am not sure <br />what was actually charged out, applying the FY95 wage /fringe and indirect <br />costs for a senior planner would be about $60,000. The wage /fringe category <br />in the proposed budget includes funding for a planner, graphic designer, and <br />administrative assistance from the Planning Division. The funding level <br />assumes that the Planning Division will provide the overall project <br />management, lead role in writing /producing any documents, and lead <br />responsibilities for mailings and public information sessions /hearings. Basic <br />Planning Division staff support normally associated with processing an item <br />through the Planning Commission will not be charged to the project. <br />The printing category provides funds for a preliminary report that could be <br />widely circulated, a draft version of the updated plan based on public input, <br />and initial copies of the adopted plan. Printing expenses would also cover any <br />costs for distribution of materials to a citizen advisory group. Postage expenses <br />would allow for mailing materials to a citizen advisory group and for mailing <br />draft report(s) to interested parries or key groups involved in the project. The <br />advertising funds would cover display ads in local newspapers or other media <br />techniques. <br />The professional services category includes funds for data development and <br />mapping using the Geographic Information System and other computer <br />applications. As the work program is developed and the goals of the update are <br />solidified, there may be a desire to broaden the scope of the plan to address in <br />a comprehensive manner community open space needs, existing open space <br />resources, and potential acquisition and development areas. This would require <br />a greater linkage between various public agencies and programs to adequately <br />develop and analyze data regarding open space resources, assets and <br />constraints. The amount of funding reserved for professional services would <br />allow potential research requests such as the creation of maps indicating <br />natural resource areas in public ownership, population density surrounding <br />public parks, location of existing parks and schools or other public facilities. <br />The work could be done by either Public Works Engineering or through U <br />COG. Please note, there are no funds in the professional services category <br />specifically set aside for legal fees. <br />The proposed budget is based on the understanding that there will be a <br />2 <br />
