The project needs some clarity around funding and a local coordinator <br /> (FOHP or City) for site work and installation, which will be the next key step. We've provided design and <br /> coordination up to this point, including the custom - fabricated signs due for delivery from the artist in Salem in a <br /> week or two. <br /> Matt, thanks again for offering to help out. Chris will get in touch if they wish to take you up. -Robin <br /> From: JerryBlakely@cs.com [mailto:)erryBlakely @cs.com] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 8:05 AM <br /> To: HOSTICK Robin A <br /> Cc: freda @efn.org; ALFRIEND Ginny D <br /> Subject: Re: Hendricks Entryway signs - update <br /> Robin, <br /> It appears that we will have to postpone construction of the entry signs until next spring or summer. We have <br /> difficulties with people, weather, and money. <br /> Greg has pulled out, as he is too busy with other projects now. Thomas doesn't want to work in the rain, as it <br /> increases both time and cost. Also, we had said previously that we didn't want to install posts in wet ground. And <br /> now that we have a better idea about total cost, we need to raise more funds than I expected. The signs cost <br /> $6,500, posts and installation $1,500 to $2,500, and stone work $5,000. This adds up to $13,000 to $14,000. At <br /> this point I'm the only one who has offered any funding and 1 can't afford to pay that much. We need to do a <br /> matching fund project with the city, and maybe try to raise additional outside funds. I'll communicate directly with <br /> Johnny about cost sharing. <br /> I am hoping to get out to Eugene before the end of this year so I can meet personally with people and get this <br /> project back on track. In the meantime, I'll communicate via phone and email. <br /> Regarding the stain, you should be able to spec that. It should match the stain on the posts in the shelter, and I <br /> assume there are records as to what was used there. <br /> Jerry <br /> • <br /> 11/27/2006 <br />
