• <br /> Ownership could take 2 forms: <br /> 1) partnering of the City and Madison Meadow (similar to other <br /> Partnering the City has done - i.e. with 4J School District, the West Eugene <br /> Wetlands with the BLM, The Nature Conservancy and the Willamette Resource <br /> Education Network). <br /> 2) sole ownership of the property by the City. <br /> While we prefer the 1st form, we are open to either. <br /> Selling requirements include: <br /> 1) The property will forever be public open space. <br /> 2) the City will not sell or transfer the property to anyone other <br /> than <br /> Madison Meadow. <br /> 3) the property will be "natural" open space - not a developed park. <br /> 4) if the City becomes sole owner, Madison Meadow will have an <br /> advisory <br /> role in long range plans for the property. <br /> After talking with Johnny Medlin (Parks Director, City of Eugene), we <br /> understand City budget concerns regarding the Operations and Maintenance <br /> costs that come with park acquisitions. If the City and Madison Meadow <br /> enter into partnership for this property, Madison Meadow will assume all <br /> operations and maintenance costs. We have a strong base of volunteer labor <br /> and a history of successful fundraising. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration.
