INF( :AT1ON ONLY • Copies to: SIV Eugene, Oregon _ I 15Z-11 a55/W January 8, 1996 ALAN I O Q CD N U a Z Dear Mayor Bascom, City Councilors and Eugene Parks Officials: We respectfully submit the enclosed signatures which were gathered in support of the Wayne Morse Ranch Dog Park. The 185 signatures were gathered between November and January when the Park is less frequented by dog owners due to weather conditions. It is our intention with these signatures to reiterate our enthusiastic support of the City' s designation of off-leash areas for dogs and for the Wayne Morse Ranch Park in particular._ It is a very much valued asset to dog owners in our neighborhood, as well as, in the extended community, and we are committed to the continuing use of this beautiful area in cooperation with other local neighbors. The recent changes in the Park' s hours and access were made, we understand, to accommodate concerns of adjacent neighbors. Unfortunately these changes were made without any input from users of the Park, many of whom used the Park before work hours, and for whom the current hours pose some problems. Also we understand certain neighbors' concerns about parking, and we believe some dialogue about these access issues( i.e. access by seniors and users with disabilities, etc. ) would be positive and productive. We ask simply that the City elicit input from Park users before instituting policies of this kind. Once again we want to express our appreciation to the City of Eugene for the consideration given to the users of the Wayne Morse Ranch Off-Leash Dog Park; it truly contributes to the quality of life in our neighborhood of Eugene. Sincerely, Jesse Rappaport, 344-0614 Lisa Oken, 683-3725 INFORMATION ONLY Julie Sirois, 344-1819 es t0: (Park users and circulators Cop "off of the petition) enc. cc: Mr. Don Bishoff, Register-Guard Television Stations KVAL, KEZI, and KMTR I
