• D1STR!BU7 Q TO: <br /> r ipR <br /> MICC v/ <br /> July 14, 1992 RAGS ✓ <br /> 3980 Oak Street <br /> Eugene, OR 97405 ASST MGR t/ <br /> RECEIVED <br /> PV CITY toar1Acr-- <br /> JUL 2 01992 43EPr Pwifi1 /? 1Z . <br /> Dear City Councilperson: POs L <br /> I am writing to express my frustration over the manner in <br /> which the City of Eugene has handled the controversy and <br /> decision making process regarding the off leash area at Morse <br /> Ranch Park. <br /> In recent weeks, the Parks and Recreation Department informed <br /> the Eugene Off Leash Association of their plans to reduce the <br /> size of the off leash area from present seven acres - <br /> down to less than three acres. <br /> In addition, the Wayne Morse Historical Board recently <br /> presented a "master plan of the park at a public meeting. <br /> This plan fails to include the off leash area. We at the <br /> Eugene Off Leash Association have many concerns about both <br /> the City of Eugene's plans, as well as the master plan <br /> presented by the Historical Board. <br /> I am enclosing copies of the last four correspondence letters <br /> sent by the Eugene Off Leash Association. These letters <br /> outline our concerns about both of the above mentioned plans. <br /> Please be aware that we have yet to receive any formal <br /> response to these letters (I did receive a call after the <br /> second letter from Public Works informing me that my letter <br /> had no impact). <br /> The Eugene Off Leash Association has made every effort to be <br /> reasonable and cooperative. It has become apparent that the <br /> city does not feel the need to formally respond to our <br /> suggestions and concerns, and also does not feel the need to <br /> give our concerns the consideration we feel they warrant. <br /> I appreciate your taking the time to review the enclosed <br /> material. Doing so will familiarize you with our concerns <br /> and issues. I would like to discuss these concerns with you <br /> further, and encourage you to contact me at 485 -5231. <br /> Sincerely, / <br /> • <br /> Casey Forrest <br /> Chair <br /> Eugene Off Leash Association <br />
