DIV <br /> January 4, 1993 <br /> SPENCER BUTTE RESTROOMS FIRE REPORT <br /> At approximately at 10:00 a.m. on January 2, 1993, Zane Renfro contacted me by <br /> radio to tell me that the restrooms at Spencer Butte Park had burned to the <br /> ground during the night. I contacted Claude Banker and Dick Morgan and <br /> neither of them had been notified of the fire. I contacted Fire Dispatch to <br /> inquire if they had knowledge of the fire. The dispatcher told me that they <br /> had responded to a reported fire at the restrooms at 5:30 a.m. that morning. <br /> When they had arrived the restrooms were nearly burned to the ground at that <br /> time. They did find three space heaters at the site. I later confirmed with <br /> Zane that we had been using a space heater to keep pipes from freezing. They <br /> was also a spare space heater at the site and a wall mounted heater that was <br /> not functioning. Since the wall heater was not operational , we were using a <br /> space heater to prevent freezing. Fire Dispatch notified me that they had <br /> contacted Lane Electric Coop to notify them to disconnect the electricity. I <br /> contacted Lauren Chouinard to notify him of the loss. Fire Dispatch said that <br /> they estimated the loss at $30,000. Public Works Maintenance staff need to <br /> verify the value of the building and if it is substantially different than the <br /> $30,000 we need to notify Fire Dispatch to update their report. We also need <br /> to have a discussion regarding plans to replace the restrooms. My initial <br /> reaction is that the restrooms not be replaced given the location, past <br /> vandalism to the site and the need to reduce our service delivery system as a <br /> result of the Eugene Decisions process. The Case Number is 93-44. According <br /> to the Ftre-Report the replacement value is $45,546. <br /> loo r o' <br /> ��� <br />
