DISTRIBUTED TO: <br /> RECEIVED <br /> BY CITY MANAGER INFORMATION ONLY- MAYOR_ <br /> APR 1 2 1994 Copies to: ,�,,cc_� " - ---_ <br /> I MGR <br /> April 11, 1994 IssT '`" -- ' -- <br /> Dear Mayor and all members 13EPT <br /> of the Eugene City Council, RA I" 61 <br /> My name is Robin L. Saulsbery and I live at 365 E. 30th Ave. in <br /> Eugene. I am a homeowner and taxpayer in this city and I am writing to express <br /> my anger at the suggestion that the Amazon Park Dog - off-leash area be closed <br /> or put to other uses such as a soccer field. My dog Skippy and I use this dog <br /> park at least 6 out of 7 days per week for one to 3 hours a day rain or shine. The <br /> dog park has allowed Skippy to become socialized with other dogs and people <br /> so that when he is out in public on his leash, he is relaxed and friendly around <br /> others. This park also provides him and many other dogs with a place to <br /> exercise and play off -leash without the owners fear of injury from cars or <br /> breaking the off -leash law, which I support. I have also met many people who <br /> live in my neighborhood which I would not normally have met if it had not been <br /> for our common interest in our pets. In the spring, summer and fall myself and <br /> other pet owners spent many enjoyable evenings just visiting with our neighbors <br /> at the dog park. There are even a few people who do not own dogs that come to <br /> the park, just to socialize and watch our dogs play. <br /> This facility is used and enjoyed by people of all ages as well as their <br /> dogs, please donot close the Amazon Park Dog- off -leash area. I would like to <br /> see this become a permanent part of our park, and would be willing..to volunteer <br /> time and work toward improvements such as planting trees and acquiring <br /> additional benches and tables. <br /> Sincerely <br /> Robin L. Saulsbe <br />
