The group would like to see the Amazon project map <br /> at its next meeting. <br /> We discussed several possible activities for 1993 (a design charette, a field <br /> trip, clean-up, presentations, a pot luck, a planting party, educational <br /> stations) . The group decided to try to get guests to Eugene for a tour and <br /> design charette to refine Jeff Kreuger's conceptual design on either Feb <br /> 26-28 or March 5-6. The revised design would then be available for an April <br /> or spring vegetation/education event. Sally Keller introduced the "March for <br /> A Park" program through the National Park Conservation Assoc. Such an event <br /> has to take place April 17-19. She is checking with John Etter about it. <br /> This event has some funding potential , and is held in advance of Earth Day <br /> (April 22) . In June, the group would like to coordinate with KEZI/KEZL for <br /> 2nd Amazon Day. The group also wants to review goals. <br /> Ken Jackson agreed to research Willamette Cutthroat use of the Long <br /> Tom/Amazon basin. If so, is this a suitable stream and goal to reintroduce <br /> this fish? <br /> The group discussed participating in a stream rehab small -scale project, <br /> doing neighborhood water quality testing, working with neighborhood schools <br /> on a water quality project. They discussed working with a UO architecture <br /> class for surveying and a planning student community workshop. <br /> The committee would like to begin gathering data know about the project area: <br /> roads, water, electrical lines, san. and storm lines, trees, channel location <br /> with typical cross-sections, topography. (Deborah, can we talk about this <br /> " item?) <br /> In the fall , the group talked about another blackberry removal project. <br /> I asked them if they followed up to Gene' s letter about the 300' clean up <br /> needed abouve 24th Ave. After discussion, they wandered if we could get Tim <br /> Hayford, mgr. Mult. Drainage Dist #1 , to come down with his "spider" and <br /> participate in a demonstration with neighborhood veg. removal help to see if <br /> there is a better way to remove sediments (apparently Gene indicated a volume <br /> greater than the neighbors thought they could shovel out of the channel ) . <br /> (Deborah,. let' s talk about this idea also - may be a good demonstration for <br /> maintenan'c section) . <br /> At end of meeting, Sally Keller read a note from Barbara Keller asking if SDC <br /> funds could be programmed in CIP for assistance to the group. Randy agreed <br /> to send a note to Les (which he did and Les respondedj. <br /> Post-It'brand fax transmittal memo 7671 1.of pages ► <br /> 41 <br /> To From <br /> I, r,� I-Ia.mrr:v 'f' es-S134—r)c . <br /> Co. co.
