We just took down the 15' x 25' flag on Skinner Butte and replaced it with the 10' x 19' flag for the coming <br /> season. The 15' x 25' flag sustained damage, but we did not realize just how much until we sent it to Rose City Awning for repair. <br /> We were aware of the tattering, but there was also structural damage that Rose City Awning discovered when the flag was <br /> examined more closely. A representative from Rose City Awning called to report that ten feet of material would be lost from the <br /> end of the flag in order to repair it. The repair would render the flag square in shape (i.e., 15' x 15'). Because it would no longer <br /> be appropriate to display that flag atop Skinner Butte, I instructed Rose City to dispose of it as unrepairable. A new 15' x 25' U.S. <br /> flag will cost $629.60. I have yet not placed an order. (We will not need the 15' x 25' flag until Memorial Day 2008.) In reviewing <br /> my last note to you below, I see that we have enough money left in the account to purchase the 15' x 25' flag. Would you consider <br /> authorizing the purchase at this time, or would you prefer that we wait until February 2008? The 10' x 19' flag that we just raised <br /> is new and should not need to be replaced until 2009. (That is, it should last two seasons.) However, the 15' x 25' flag was new <br /> and lasted only one season. In any event, I can send you a funding request early next year for flag replacements that will be <br /> needed in 2009 and 2010 as you requested. In the meantime, please let me know whether we should proceed with the <br /> replacement of the 15' x 25' flag. Thank you. <br /> From: Jeff Anderson [mailto:JeffA @ocfl.org] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:39 PM <br /> To: ZUCKER Richard <br /> Subject: RE: Veterans Flag Fund <br /> Hi -- <br /> That sounds fine. <br /> I would suggest sending me a full report and request for renewed funding about three months before your next round of replacing <br /> the flags -- perhaps in summer 2008 in preparation for replacing them in the fall. Obviously, if they wear out sooner, you can move <br /> this up. <br /> Jeff <br /> From: ZUCKER Richard [ mailto: RICHARD.ZUCKER @ci.eugene.or.us] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:11 PM <br /> To: Jeff Anderson <br /> Cc: RISDAL Lacey L; FINNEY Kevin P <br /> Subject: RE: Veterans Flag Fund <br /> Thank you for the quick response. I made some inquires and have just learned that there is currently a balance of $1,707 left in <br /> the grant. The flag purchases will total $1,048.79. That will leave us $658.21 in the grant. So, we do have sufficient funds for this <br /> year. I expect that we will have to replace the flags that we are about to buy in another two years. How far in advance would you <br /> need our request for a renewal of the grant? <br /> Thanks again. I will go ahead with the purchase and will order the two flags from Rose City Flags & Flagpoles. <br /> From: Jeff Anderson [mailto:JeffA @ocfl.org] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 9:04 AM <br /> To: ZUCKER Richard <br /> Subject: RE: Veterans Flag Fund <br /> 4/23/2008 <br />
