v <br /> plantings, etc.) To that extent, you could say that the school district would not be able to pursue <br /> its multi- stadium plan if it were not collaborating with the city on fields and parks. I am forwarding <br /> this message to the City Manager's Office; a more extensive explanation is available and you <br /> should receive it soon. <br /> *By the way, the City has already collaborated with Bethel School District on the design of the <br /> new Meadowview School and adjacent community park, with lots of play and open area to be <br /> shared by kids and the community in general. <br /> I understood your dismay, and hope that the explanation can resolve at least part of your concern <br /> about how the public funds are being spent. Whether the kids should have one or four stadiums <br /> is a different issue which has been in the School District's hands. <br /> Nancy <br /> Nancy Nathanson <br /> City Councilor, Ward 8, Eugene <br /> Original Message <br /> ' From: ..

Rettmann in Sunday's R -G, we <br /> want you to know that we agree with him completely. When we voted for the <br /> open space and parks bond measure we had no idea that some of that money <br /> might be used for a stadium at each high school. We consider that to be an <br /> unnecessary and irresponsible use of that money, and we hope you will not <br /> approve of it. (We wonder, too, if anyone has challenged the citizenship of <br /> the UO in changing to grass and not allowing our high school games to be <br /> played there.) <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David H.
