Date: 09/16/92 <br /> From: Randy MacDonald CEEXRXM - RIS1 <br /> To: Les Lyle CEWELAL - RIS1 <br /> Gene Shutt CEWMEGS - RIS1 <br /> Sandra Gleason CEWASLG - RIS1 <br /> cc: Chris Andersen CEWACFA - RIS1 <br /> Subject: Amazon Channel Cleaning <br /> Gene - Thanks for the analysis and summary of options related to the Amazon <br /> cleaning proposed for 24th and Amazon. It was very helpful . I'm sorry I did <br /> not learn of the Monday meeting until after it was over. I had not checked my <br /> OA as I was away at an LOC conference the last half of last week. <br /> By the way, Sandra and Les, if you don't hear from me on e-mail , give my staff <br /> a call at 346-5020, and they will get messages to me or schedule meetings for <br /> me. My life is real hectic right now, so I need the follow-up. Thanks. <br /> I discussed the options re:Amazon cleaning with the Upper Amazon Steering <br /> Committee at our recent meeting. We would like to get together with Public <br /> Works staff (Gene, Les, others) and discuss the feasability of a volunteer <br /> effort to help mitigate the impact while addressing the sediment and other <br /> water capacity concerns. We believe that myself, Barbara Keller, and Steve <br /> Lawn from the steering committee should participate, and also suggest that <br /> Sharon Teague and a representative from FRESH/Audobon Society (Art Farley?) <br /> should also be involved. I think that this citizen/staff discussion can lay <br /> the groundwork for a positive,cooperative effort to address this issue. <br /> One basic piece of information we will need for that meeting is:Approximately <br /> how much sediment are we talking about (cu. yards, etc. ) removing? We need <br /> to assess whether a volunteer effort is achievable or not. <br /> We need to move fairly quickly to beat the rainy season. For the three of us <br /> on the steering committee, 9/22 at 4pm works best, 9/23 at 3:30pm is the 2nd <br /> choice next week. Can I ask you to contact appropriate city staff, steering <br /> committee members, and the other citizens proposed for the meeting to see if <br /> we can get together on one of these two dates? Here's the phone numbers of <br /> the following: <br /> Randy MacDonald - 346-5020 (w) , 343-8137 (h) <br /> Barbara Keller - 344-8052 (w&h) <br /> Steve Lawn - 484-9484 (w) , 942-0528 (h) <br /> Sharon Teague - 683-3663 (w&h) <br /> Art Farley - 346-3414 (w) , 683-1186 (h) <br /> Please let me know if this approach will or will not work. I will be going <br /> to Salem with Dave Reinhard and Terry Smith on transportation business, so <br /> you will have to leave a message for me. I 'll try to check in by car phone <br /> in the afternoon. Thanks. <br /> Also, Les, the Upper Amazon Steering Committee folks reminded me that they <br /> have not seen the letter from you summarizing the CCI's discussion and di- <br /> rection re:the Upper Amazon project. Did you develop that letter? Can you <br /> send me a copy so I can distribute it to them? If you have already sent it <br /> to me, it must have gotten buried in one of my many stacks of paper. <br />
