This is the general plan that PARCS and Public Works will be working on <br /> together. Some of the other pieces are as follows: <br /> 1. PARCS expects to have their rough mowing completed about August 30th. <br /> Once that is done, Fleet will transfer their slope mower from the <br /> Massey Fergeson to the Ford which will give us a more reliable machine. <br /> 2. Public Works is in the process of purchasing a new gradall. Included in <br /> the specifications will be an option for a brush head and hydraulic <br /> plumbing which will add about S 12,000 to the price. Hopefully, we <br /> will have enough money to include this option in the purchase. <br /> 3. As the Public Safety Department identifies problem pockets we will <br /> divert our resources to meet those needs. <br /> 4. We will supplement this project with community volunteer groups such as <br /> the Lane County Community Service Juvenile group to help with the <br /> needed hand labor. <br /> This is an optimistic schedule we have set. It will give us a good start on <br /> the three year program laid out in Dick Morgan's May 31, 1989, memo. Much of <br /> this initial work will consist of roughly opening up the above defined areas <br /> for visual access. Any commitment for support from the sheriff's prisoner <br /> crew would certainly help supplement our efforts. This would be in addition <br /> to the 10 days mentioned previously in this memo. We could easily utilize <br /> them another 20 days. If we can't get the fee waived maybe ther is some <br /> contingency money we can use. Once we get the above defined areas opened up, <br /> we will re- evaluate our progress and plan our future actions. <br /> I hope that this action plan meets your goals for improving the river bank <br /> for safety purposes. PARCS and Public Works are diverting resources from <br /> other programs to make this happen. We are trying to juggle our resources to <br /> minimize the impact to those programs and will monitor them and make neces- <br /> sary adjustments. I would appreciate some feed back. Let me know if you are <br /> able to get the sheriff's prisoner crew for this project. <br /> cc: Chris Andersen <br /> Ed Smith <br /> Doug Post <br /> Dick Morgan <br /> Gene Shutt <br />
