November 16, 2001 To: Members of the User Committee for the four Multi -Use Athletic Fields and Parks and Open Spaces at Cal Young Middle School and Churchill, North Eugene, South Eugene and Sheldon High- Schools I have a letter dated October 23, 2001, from Mike McKerrow, Supervisor of Land Use Management, Phone No. 682 -5251. In the letter he addresses the use of signs on the Sheldon Multi -Use Field and the Baseball Diamond. I have attached the letter for your information. Since his letter was sent out Pat Radostitz on November 9, 2001, has responded to Mike McKerrow. A copy of her letter sent to me is attached. The Intergovernmental Agreement in Section 10 Sponsorship and Advertising states, "District reserves the right to determine sponsorships, advertising, and concessions related to the artificial surface fields after consultation with the User Committee." However, compliance is required with City of Eugene Code 9.6610 (Dated 8/1/2001), which governs stadium signs. Prior to 8/1/2001 stadium signs were covered under City of Eugene Code 9.1004. Excerpt from MINUTES OF THE USER COMMITTEE MEETING on August 27, 2001. Item 3. "Advertising and signage: Advertising signs are not to be put up until consultation has taken place with this Committee. Jeff Faust reported that the City is okay with temporary signs that are put up on the inside of fences during games and taken down immediately after. He has discussed this idea with the neighbors, but will meet with them again to let them know to expect temporary signs will be put up during games." I do not recall anyone consulting with the User Committee to install signs on the Multi -Use Field. There was discussion at our last meeting regarding the Base Ball Field. Regarding parking and access to the Sheldon Fields from Norwood Street, I researched the minutes of the User Committee Meetings and found the following. An excerpt from the Minutes of the August 15, 2000 User Committee Meeting: "Neighborhood access to YSP at Sheldon: The plan is to have a 6 foot fence installed all along Norwood Street. During events user groups will be required to lock the gates so there will be no advantage for people to park on Norwood. Keys will be issued to neighborhood folks who might want to access the park during sporting events. Those keys will be to pedestrian gates only. Keys will be issued at the Sheldon Community Center." "The Sheldon parking lot has been re- striped to add more spaces. The Sheldon project was designed to funnel traffic to 4J parking. Absolute Security will be on site to direct parking appropriately during games." Per Jeff Faust, assistant Principle at Sheldon High School, he has ordered a gate to be installed in the gate opening of the track on the Norwood Street side by the bleachers for track spectators. This is at the intersection of Norwood and Marlow Street.
