The City's Tree Crew and Mall Crew <br /> have supplied most of this resource. The Tree Crew continues to face a large <br /> back log of priority tree work. The Tree Crew and Mall Crew has reduced <br /> staffing levels as a result of the Eugene Decisions process. This letter is <br /> to notify you that City resources will no longer be available for the holiday <br /> tree installation. In addition, you should be aware that reductions to the <br /> Mall Crew mean that special requests for service will have to be prioritized <br /> and addressed as resources are available. <br /> We all believe the tree adds value to the downtown area during the holiday <br /> season. I hope that you will be able to solicit alternative resources to <br /> continue with this annual project. If I can provide any assistance to you, <br /> please feel free to contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bob Hammitt <br /> Public Works Maintenance Director <br />
