7 1111 Public Works <br /> Maintenance <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97402 <br /> July 30, 1992 (503) 687 5220 <br /> Virginia and Robert Freeman <br /> 690 West 31st Ave. <br /> Eugene, OR 97405 <br /> Subject: Off -Leash Program at Morse Ranch Park <br /> Dear Mrs. and Mr. Freeman <br /> Your letter of July 6th to Councilor MacDonald has been forwarded to me for <br /> response. While we covered most of the information contained herein verbally <br /> during our telephone conversation of last week and you told me a written <br /> response was not needed, I felt that a follow -up letter would be beneficial. <br /> First, I again wish to apologize for the slower than usual staff response to <br /> this issue. With the merger of Parks Services and Public Works Maintenance it <br /> is taking us a little time to "get up to speed" on these issues new to many of <br /> us. <br /> Earlier this month staff was reevaluating the proposed plan for reducing the <br /> size of the off -leash area at Morse Ranch park. While we felt it likely the <br /> initial direction was going to be reversed due to the public input received, <br /> that decision had not yet been made and a return letter to you at that time <br /> would have been inconclusive. The decision to withdraw the proposal to <br /> reduce the size of the off -leash area has been made and a copy of the announ- <br /> cement letter sent to the Morse Ranch interested party list is included. <br /> You asked a number of questions regarding how the Morse Ranch Historical <br /> Corporation Board was involved in the preparation of the Morse Ranch draft <br /> plan. A recent letter from John Replinger to the Citizen Involvement Commit- <br /> tee asked these same questions in perhaps more detail. I am attaching a copy <br /> of the research performed with the City Attorneys office and the staff <br /> response to Mr. Replinger's letter. I believe this packet will answer your <br /> questions better than I could do in this letter. <br /> I hope the above and attachments have helped answer your concerns. Please <br /> feel free to contact me or John Etter and 687 -5220 if you would like any <br /> further information. <br /> p 5pre , l,� <br /> J.R.
