Scobert Park Advisory Committee <br /> Page 2 <br /> October 31, 1996 <br /> comment section. To add balance to this category, a City staff person was added to <br /> support the committee as a professional horticulture advisor. <br /> The boundaries for the West Blair Neighborhood as defined in the Whiteaker Plan were <br /> used when selecting applicants to represent that category. Several of these applicants <br /> actually reside outside of these boundaries and were therefore ineligible to represent this <br /> interest. <br /> Applicants for the within one block category also met the West Blair Neighborhood <br /> criteria, so we considered them for both categories. <br /> We were unable to contact some of the applicants despite several attempts. Also, after <br /> being contacted some applicants made the decision not to be on the committee or had <br /> scheduling conflicts. <br /> An effort was made not to select more than one applicant from the same household in <br /> order to spread the representation. <br /> One of the ways you as committee members can ensure that a balance of interests are represented <br /> is to discuss the outreach methods you plan to enact. You can bring to the table, the thoughts and <br /> ideas of others from the community and voice their concerns. Another way for others to express <br /> their views is by the form of public input the committee wishes to establish. These are examples <br /> of the methods you as a committee can discuss to achieve the common goal of making Scobert <br /> Park safe for the entire community. <br /> We recommend that you take some time to review the City of Eugene Boards & Commissions <br /> Manual that was included in your notebook. It contains information that should be useful in <br /> helping you understand how committees are formed and general guidelines for committees. <br /> We look forward to working with this committee to resolve the problems affecting Scobert Park. <br /> c <br />
