MEMO <br /> To: Bob Hammitt <br /> From: Dick Morgan <br /> Subject: Operation of Hileman & Whitely Boat Landings <br /> Date: March 20, 1998 <br /> As instructed by the City Council, I have contacted other governmental agencies and private <br /> organizations as to their interest in operating and maintaining Hileman and Whitely Boat <br /> Landings. <br /> The following agencies were contacted: <br /> 1. State Parks Department - Letter sent on June 20, 1997, to Robert Meinen, <br /> Director. Received no response. <br /> 2. Lane County Parks Department - Letter sent on June 20, 1997, to Bob Keefer, <br /> Division Manager. Received no response. <br /> 3. State Marine Board - Letter and phone conversation with Dave Obern, Facility <br /> Director. They do not maintain or operate boat landings. They provide funding <br /> only. <br /> 4. Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife - Phone conversation with Jeff Ziller. <br /> They do not maintain or operate boat landings. <br /> Private groups or individuals contacted include: <br /> 1. McKenzie Flyfisher Association - Greg Pitt <br /> 2. Cascade Family Flyfishers - Norm Pianalto <br /> 3. Steelheader Association - Darlene Dolby <br /> All three organizations have board meetings next week (7/21 -25) and will get back to me after <br /> that date. None of them were overly enthusiastic. <br /> The neighbors at Whitely Boat Landing are all willing to continue picking up litter in the area, <br /> but they prefer that the gate and pit toilet continue to be locked. They feel that restricting the use <br /> at Whitley has increased the bicycle and walk -in traffic of those who live in the community, <br /> while eliminating almost all the undesirable activities. <br /> At this time, we have no group who has stepped forward and offered to maintain the boat <br /> landings. <br />
