Comparison of actual accomplishments with milestones listed. in Technical Assessment Question 5 <br /> of the Proposal <br /> Table.2 summarizes our accomplishments to date and the milestones listed in our proposal using the <br /> NAWCA funds. In our proposal, we indicated that we would use NAWCA funds and othex funds to purchase <br /> fee title to 382.9 acres. These acres would be from the Lee, Marvin, and Sadri CC parcels. Very soon after <br /> being awarded the NAWCA grant funds, we successfully purchased the Lee and Marvin parcels (these <br /> transactions closed in August, 2002). The City of Eugene now holds fee title to those parcels. <br /> On Apri13, 2003, I wrote you to request a modification to our proposal to use $44,300 of the NAWCA funds <br /> to help purchase a 133-acre conservation easement on the. Decker property. The modification request <br /> included using these 133 acres in lieu of 133 acres of fee title .acquisition. You approved these requests in <br /> writing on Apri125, 2003. The conservation easement transaction closed on November 19, 2003. The <br /> conservation easement is held by the McKenzie River Trust. <br /> On September 30, 2004, we purchased fee title to 67.79 acres on the Cuddeback parcel using. funds from The. <br /> Nature Conservancy and the Bonneville Power Administration. The Nature Conservancy now owns fee title <br /> to this parcel - <br /> We need 110.39 acres of additional fee title acquisition to meet our milestones from the Proposal. Due to a <br /> breakdown in negotiations with the owner of the Sadri CC parcel, we have initiated contact with additional <br /> landowners in the same vicinity as Sadri CC that may be more amenable to selling to the West Eugene <br /> Wetlands Partners at appraised values. <br /> Table 2.
