fire Colette Kimball <br /> 1179 W. 5th Ave. <br /> Eugene OR 97402 <br /> December 9, 1996 <br /> Mr. Dick Morgan <br /> Eugene Parks Maintenance <br /> 1820 Roosevelt <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> Dear Mr. Morgan, <br /> I am writing to convey our interest in buying the southwest section of Scobert Park <br /> which your department fenced off last winter. <br /> This section of the park has been an ongoing problem for the neighborhood as a sight <br /> for buying, selling and using drugs and alcohol, as well as illegal camping and eluding <br /> police officers. Currently it is fenced, gated and locked from public use and is <br /> dubiously called a "community garden." However as a community garden it has <br /> gibe become a sight for growing marijuana plants, tethering unmonitored dogs, and other <br /> abuses of its "free gardening" status, and has had no management as far as we can <br /> tell. <br /> Money from the sale of this piece if property would be a wonderful source of income for <br /> improvements to other areas of Scobert Park. Input from community meetings has <br /> suggested an interest in improved playground equipment, playground equipment for a <br /> broader age range of children (which have been a big attraction in the newly added <br /> playground at Maurie Jacobs Park), as well as other improvements that might benefit <br /> from this sale. <br /> If you which to discuss this further, I can be reached during the day at 683 -9278. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> C ereitt <br /> Colette Kimball <br /> cc.
