Mr. Sonnichsen asked if there was information on the proposed WABP disc golf course. Mr. Richardson replied <br />that there was nothing further to report at this time. There had been some discussion about instituting a temporary <br />course as opposed to a permanent one, but staff had been too busy to work on it. <br />Mr. Richardson stated that Matt McRae had returned and was managing the Stream Team again. <br />Mr. Sonnichsen asked if they had given any thought about a planting on the North Bank in February. Mr. <br />Richardson suspected that it had been scheduled but he did not know for certain. <br />In response to a question from Mr. Sonnichsen, Mr. Richardson said he did not know whether the budget situation <br />had impacted parks publications specifically. He related that Mr. Medlin had presented to the City Council recently <br />about all of the parks that had been added to the roster and the lack of maintenance money to do the upkeep for <br />them. He thought it very likely that the division had curtailed its publications. <br />In response to a question from Ms. Mello, Mr. Richardson stated that he had just added the Talking Stones brochure <br />to the website. He said he would be improving a number of web pages including the CPC page. He thought that <br />the Talking Stones brochure would be reprinted after the completion of the bridge project. <br />L Willamalane <br />Mr. Hyde reported that a Northwest Youth Corps crew had come in August and had spent a week removing ivy and <br />blackberries in the Eastgate area. He said there was some brush cutting by the canoe canal, but it was not <br />completed. More was planned for the winter. He stated that Willamalane had participated in the Willamette River <br />clean -up. <br />Mr. Hyde related that illegal camping seemed to have decreased. He was not certain how much of that could be <br />attributable to the increased activity due to the bridge construction. <br />Mr. Hyde stated that he had been working on their version of the IGA. He thought they were getting close to <br />submitting comments back to ODOT. <br />Regarding new members, Mr. Hyde explained that Willamalane did not have a process for applying via their <br />website. He said someone from Springfield who wanted to apply over the internet, however, could do so through <br />the City of Eugene's website. He indicated that he would advertise the Springfield position in April. He <br />recommended that the members engage in recruiting. <br />Mr. Richardson noted that Ms. Jones and Mr. Biggs were not eligible to reapply. <br />Mr. Cooper suggested that staff contact people that had previously applied. <br />Mr. Richardson shared that there had been some safety issues particularly with some younger transients in Alton <br />Baker Park picking on the older transients. He thought the focus of transient activity was around the large shelters. <br />Mr. Sonnichsen asked for more specific information on this <br />9. Old Business <br />Ms. Behm ascertained that officer elections were not in the offing. Mr. Hyde found language in the bylaws that <br />indicated that officers served two -year terms. <br />MINUTES — Citizen Planning Committee for the Whilamut Natural Area October 28, 2010 <br />Page 6 <br />
