As you know, we amended the grant once already, in order to <br /> manage delays in funding from our project partner, the Army Corp of <br /> Engineers. <br /> Parks and Open Further project complications have arisen which impact our completion date <br /> Space Planning for a couple of the proposed improvements, An additional wetland fill permit <br /> Parks Maintenance requirement will postpone construction of the boardwalk and overlook until <br /> 2006. Additionally, the development of an interpretive program for Delta <br /> Urban Forestry Ponds is taking longer than expected and we are not yet ready to produce <br /> Wetlands and Open signage. <br /> <br /> Waterways . <br /> We therefore, request another amendment, to remove the overlook and <br /> signage from the amended agreement. I want to assure you however, that the <br /> City of Eugene is committed to seeing these project components completed. <br /> We have earmarked existing funding for construction of the boardwalk and <br /> overlook, as well as interpretive signage. These improvements are scheduled <br /> for construction in 2006. <br /> By agreeing to this additional amendment, our vision for recreation <br /> improvements at Delta Ponds remains whole, and the realization of that vision <br /> is assured. The City of Eugene is grateful to State Parks, both for the grant <br /> dollars and for the flexibility in modifying the project scope to allow us to <br /> complete these important park amenities. If you have any questions, please <br /> call, 682-4914. , <br /> Sincerely, <br /> / ' <br /> . ~ Wes, <br /> Carolyn J.
