FRESH <br />Mien& of <br />&,Zene/Sprinet <br />Habitats <br />5 July 1995 <br />:; <br />BYCITY � <br />JUL 7 1995 <br />Eugene City Council <br />777 Pearl Street <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />Dear Councilors: <br />D1ST4;7ttTED TO: <br />T MGR <br />1' - <br />We write to ask that you consider the following action regarding our earlier proposal for the <br />city of Eugene to accept lands from Lane County in the area of Delta Ponds with the intent of <br />transforming the area into a nature park sometime in the near future. <br />We have had a meeting with city and county staff; they are working toward agreement on a <br />process for this transfer. However, the Lane County Board of Commissioners has voiced an <br />interest in hearing from the Eugene City Council with respect to its willingness (and interest) in <br />accepting these lands for management as a nature park. <br />We ask that Council consider formally sending a letter of interest to Lane County regarding <br />this proposal as soon as possible. Staff should be in a position in the near future to discuss with <br />you any implications of the transfer and detail a projection of how this park proposal can fit into <br />existing park planning priorities. <br />Transfer of the land to the city will be an important fast step in realizing the widlife habitat <br />and recreational potential that the site offers this community as parkland. Thank you again for <br />taking the time to address this opportunity. <br />sere , <br />arley <br />FRESH Coordinator <br />
