On September 11, 1996 I issued Administrative Order No. 58-96-20 rescinding <br /> Administrative Order No. 58-96-18 which had ordered the temporary closure of Scobert Park, <br /> located at 1180 West 4th Avenue, within the City of Eugene, in order to allow the City and residents <br /> of the area an opportunity to conduct meetings to discuss initial concepts for the future use and/or <br /> terraporary closure of the park. <br /> ' B. Based on that review and other neighborhood input, it has been recommended that <br /> 'the., portions of the park with vegetation in distress be temporarily closed to allow City staff and the <br /> citizen team reviewing Scobert Park an opportunity to discuss future needs and uses for the park as <br /> weal as restoration of the park's vegetation, which has sustained severe abuse. I concur with that <br /> recommendation, and find it would be in the public interest to temporarily close those portions of <br /> Scobert Park. <br /> Now, therefore, based on the above findings, which are hereby adopted, and the authority <br /> of Section 1.003 of the Park Rules as amended by Administrative Order No. 58-06-16 on August <br /> 16, 1996: <br /> It is hereby ordered that: <br /> I <br /> 1.

Written authorization may be <br /> granted to: (1) those persons maintaining an already-established garden within the boundaries of <br /> Scobert Park, with such access permitted solely for the purpose of maintaining the garden; and (2) <br /> members of the citizen team for Scobert Park, such access permitted solely for the purpose of <br /> executing the planing effort for the park. The closure shall remain in effect until December 2, 1996. <br /> 2.
