Risk Manager <br /> 200 N Monroe Street <br /> Eugene. OR 97402 -4295 <br /> RE: Athletic fields and skateboard parks <br /> Dear David. <br /> There seems to be some confusion as to what Cramer & Giles and Marsh's recommendations <br /> are on the integration of the athletic fields/skateboard parks with 4J and the City of Eugene. <br /> As you may recall. I sent you an email back in November where 1 had suggested that t he <br /> skateboard parlcs be the responsibility of the City and the athletic fields be the responsibility of 4J <br /> School District. It was my understanding that idea received a warm reception With both 4J and <br /> the City of Eugene at a very high level. <br /> The City is now indicating that Bob and I had suggested that the City would have to change all of <br /> its maintenance agreements if in fact we went with the recommendations above. As I indicated to <br /> you. neither Bob nor I recall telling the City that they would have to change their maintenance <br /> agreements to make this work. <br /> The bottom line is that if the City takes the primary responsibility of the skate parks (1 still believe <br /> that making them a city park is the most efficient way to handle this) and if 4J takes primary <br /> responsibility of the athletic fields. Bob and 1 can work out any issues in regards to dovetailing the <br /> insurance. <br /> We realize that there will be issues wherein [Here may be some overlapping of Liability. However_ <br /> since both of you are public entities and not in the business of one entity trying to take advantage <br /> of another. such as in the private sector, we believe that any unforeseen problems that could <br /> arise out of these two venues can be resolved. If we have to "tweak" some of our insurance and <br /> hold harmless languages. we can always do so down the road. <br /> If you have any runner Questions. please do not hesitate to call. <br /> Sincerely. <br /> Ronald R.
