r <br /> 1:: <br /> April 22, 2005 <br /> Johnny Medlin s: <br /> Director of Parks and Open Space g <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. <br /> Eugene, OR 97404 <br /> Dear Mr. Medlin: <br /> l4 <br /> I contacted the City Manager, as you suggested, about the reversal of the sale of our r, <br /> property on River Loopl. I believe they are asking the Public Works Director to respond <br /> to my "request" of reversing the sale of this property. , <br /> As we discussed, this property was purchased against our will, by the city's represenative <br /> lying to us and threatening the use of immanent domain. You verbally expressed regret <br /> over the situation and that you were not involved earlier in the purchase of property for <br /> parks. <br /> E? <br /> xr <br /> At this point would you please contact the Public Works Director and let him know how <br /> you feel. <br /> The City's park program will not die without our 4 acres, but it is a very important part <br /> of our lives. We need more room to spread out nursery stock and we were never <br /> compensated for loss of income or loss of value to the remainder of our property. This <br /> has greatly affected our lives. <br /> I see this as an opportunity for the City to rebuff the stigma of Big City Government: <br /> "We'll do what we want regardless of the wishes of the people." <br /> I feel your input would be invaluable considering our conversation here. Please do <br /> everything in your power to right this great wrong. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Harold Ogren <br /> 500 Terra Linda Ave <br /> Eugene, OR 97404 <br /> 689-1387 <br />
