MEMO <br /> To: Eugene Business and Civil Leaders <br /> From: Bob Doppelt <br /> Re: Invitation to Meeting Tuesday April 19, 1 -4 PM, Eugene Public Library, to Discuss <br /> City of Eugene Sustainability Plan <br /> Date: April 1, 1005 <br /> You are invited to participate in a brainstorming meeting intended to obtain your ideas on <br /> the creation of a sustainable development plan for the City of Eugene. This event will <br /> provide valuable information that Mayor Kitty Piercy and her team will use to construct <br /> the process that leads to the sustainability plan. <br /> Please RSVP by return email to let us know if you plan to attend the meeting. <br /> Co- Chairs: We are honored that Rusty Rexius of Rexius /Grant, and current Board Chair <br /> of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, and David Funk of Funk/Levis and Associates <br /> have agreed to co -chair the process of creating a sustainable development plan. <br /> Staff Support: Student interns from the University of Oregon will work with me to <br /> support and staff the process. <br /> Kick -Off Brainstorming Meeting: Tuesday, April 19, from 1 -4 PM at The Bascom <br /> Room at the Eugene Public Library (1 floor). This day and time may not work for <br /> everyone but we hope most of you can attend. The meetings purposes are to: <br /> a) Explain the goals and expected outcomes of the process to create a sustainable <br /> development plan. <br /> b) Provide information and hold a dialogue to help everyone obtain a basic <br /> understanding of what sustainable development could mean at the <br /> local /community level. <br /> c) Learn what should be included in a sustainability plan for the city and the best <br /> ways to achieving it. <br /> d) Do a little brainstorming on what people think the community would look and <br /> function like in 20 years if at that time it was considered a sustainable community. <br /> A draft agenda can be found at the end of this memo. <br /> Task Force <br /> Following the April 19 meeting, Mayor Kitty intends to appoint a task force that will be <br /> charged with the task of developing a draft sustainability plan for the City. To ensure that <br /> the task force is of manageable size, it will be composed of a subset of those who attend <br />
