we will also be looking at some other improvements/changes in <br /> the park. Accomplishing them is dependant upon whether or not <br /> we can afford them. For example, we are considering removing <br /> the old concrete pool that is no longer usable rather than <br /> designing the irrigation system around it. <br /> John Etter will be our lead design person on this project. <br /> Let me know if you would like me or John to contact Mylie <br /> again to reassure her that we will let her look at our draft <br /> design of tree replacement. <br /> From: SWANSON GRIBSKOV Laurie <br /> To: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> Subject: RE: Washburn Park <br /> Date: Friday, January 05, 1996 12:36PM <br /> Hi Bob - Happy New Year. <br /> Mylie Carter called me this week and is appreciative about the <br /> watering in the future, but now has concerns about the choice <br /> of trees! So can you give me a quick update on status and who <br /> I should follow up with etc. <br /> Hope you had a good holiday. You can tell I'm just now <br /> thinking about what I will have to do for Council in 1996. <br /> Thanks for your help. <br /> Laurie <br /> From: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> To: *Councilor Swanson Gribskov <br /> Cc: DILLER Della M <br /> Subject: Washburn Park <br /> Date: Wednesday, November 22, 1995 5:05PM <br /> FROM: Bob Hammitt <br /> I apologize for not getting back to you regarding the funding <br /> plan for the irrigation system replacement at Washburn Park. <br /> I have been totally consumed by fire recovery. <br /> As you probably recall, the estimate was $55,000 for <br /> irrigation system replacement at Washburn Park. The tentative <br /> plan is to give this project a high priority due to the urban <br /> forester's assessment that additional unique trees may be lost <br /> due to the lack of irrigation. Installing irrigation will not <br /> save those trees already dead, and probably not those already <br /> showing significant stress. <br /> Our goal is to have irrigation installed before the 1996 dry <br /> season. In order to fund the project we will have to postpone <br /> some other funded projects such as, the Skinners Butte Rd <br /> overlay project, and some drainage projects. We also plan to <br /> use the money ($16,000) recovered from insurance when the <br /> Spencer Butte restroom burned a couple of years ago. This <br /> occurred during the Eugene Decisions process and reduction in <br /> park services. Since the restroom was at a remote location, <br /> it was vandalized often and was a high maintenance item. <br /> I have not had a chance to discuss this plan with Chris yet, <br /> so it is only a plan at this time. I hope it provides you <br /> with the info you need. I will likely be working most of <br /> Page 2 <br />
