This past summer, Monroe Park became a dangerous place where <br /> drug dealing, violence and prostitution were effectively legal. We are <br /> determined to restore this beautiful park to a place where neighbors can <br /> safely take their children and families. <br /> The efforts in this summary fit under two main categories: <br /> 1) Enforcement of city laws and park rules <br /> 2) Community support and recreational activities <br /> To achieve these goals, we seek a partnership with City staff. We believe <br /> that Monroe Park can serve as a great success story for what can be <br /> accomplished when city residents and city staff work together. Please feel <br /> free to share this document with other staff members. <br /> This message also includes sample information on the violence and threats <br /> experienced by the Fun for All recreation staff, and the spike in police calls over the <br /> summer months. We believe these costs to the city are unnecesary, and can be greatly <br /> reduced by effective and coordinated action. <br /> For your information, we have raised some of these issues with the following <br /> City of Eugene staff members: <br /> Police Dept <br /> Police Chief Robert Lehner <br /> Capt. Thad Buchanan <br /> Lt. Rex Barrong <br /> Lt. Pete Kerns <br /> Detective Karol Herbert <br /> Officer Sean Hughes <br /> 11/2/2004 <br />
