ADM11~tISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-96-20 <br />of the <br />Executive Director of the Public Works Department <br />RESCINDING ADMI1~tISTRATIVE ORDER N0. 58-96-18 ISSUED ON <br />AUGUST 30, 1996 ORDERING THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF <br />SCOBERT PARK. , <br />The Executive Director of the Public Works Department finds that: <br />A. On August 30, 1996, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-96-18 ordering the <br />temporary closure of Scobert Park, located at 1180 West 4th Avenue, within the City of Eugene, <br />effective from 12:01 a.m. on September 9, 1996 until December 1, 1996. <br />B. As indicated in the order, the. closure was prompted in part in response to a <br />neighborhood petition supported by .the Whiteaker Community Council's Executive Board <br />requesting the closure because the park was becoming a haven for illegal activities and creating an <br />unsafe and unfit atmosphere for residents:of the area, and to address City staff concerns with respect, <br />to the abuse existing park vegetation'has sustained. <br />C. Subsequent to issuance of the order, residents of the area have requested that the park <br />. remain open while the City and residents conduct a study with respect to its future use and/or <br />temporary closure, and I find it would be in the public interest to rescind Administrative Order No. <br />58-96-18 closing Scobert Park pending completion of that study. <br />Now, therefore, based onthe above findings, which are hereby adopted, <br />• `It is hereby ordered that Administrative Order No. 58-96-18 issued on August 30, 1996 <br />ordering the temporary closure of Scobert Park, is hereby rescinded. <br />Dated this ~ day of September, 1996. <br />Executive Director <br />Public Works Department <br />.
