Box 5328 <br /> Eugene, OR 97405 <br /> Dear Jan: <br /> I am writing in response to your letter to Chris Andersen, dated February 25, 1997. Our <br /> organization is in a constant state of change in keeping up with the growing demands of our <br /> community. As you know,the Riverfront crew was recently dissolved in an effort to benefit the <br /> overall park system. I share your respect and admiration for Dee Grissell's contribution to the <br /> task force, however, his role within our organization has changed. <br /> The new parks representative for the task force is Parks Manager, Dick Morgan. I believe he has <br /> already phoned you to inform you of this change in staffing. He has not received the requested <br /> meeting schedule from you so he has only attended two of the meetings. I see in your letter that <br /> the task force meets for one hour every first Wednesday at Noon. However, Dick has said that <br /> these meetings have not been held consistently every month. If you were to send an agenda to <br /> Dick prior to the meetings,he would arrange his schedule to attend. <br /> The Public Works Department is fully committed to supporting the needs of <br /> Washington/Jefferson Park and the efforts of the task force with the resources available to us. <br /> With the looming impacts of Ballot Measure 47 still unknown, we cannot identify at this time the <br /> exact resources which will be available. The community will need to rely heavily on the efforts <br /> of volunteers, such as yourself, in order to maintain Eugene's valuable quality of life, especially <br /> after Measure 47 reductions are implemented. Thank you for the dedication and perseverance <br /> you have shown throughout this process. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact <br /> Dick Morgan or myself at 682-4800. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bob Hammitt <br /> Maintenance Director <br /> is <br /> cc: Chris Andersen,Public Works Director <br /> Dick Morgan, Parks Manager <br />
