We just took down the 15' x 25' flag on Skinner Butte and replaced it with the 10'x 19' flag for th.e coming <br />season. The 15' x 25' flag sustained damage, but we did not realize just how much until we sent it to Rose, City Awning - for repair;.. <br />We were aware of the tattering, but there was also structural damage that Rose City Awning disrovered when the flag was <br />examined more closely. A representative from Rose City Awning called to report that ten feet of material would be lost from the <br />end of the flag in order to repair it. The repair would render the flag square in shape (i.e., 15' x 16). Because it would no longer <br />be appropriate to display that flag atop Skinner Butte, I instructed Rose City to dispose of it as unrepairable. A new 15' x 25' U.S. <br />flag will cost $629.60. 1 have yet not placed an order. (We will not need the 15'x 25' flag until Memorial Day 2008.) In reviewing <br />my last note to you below, I see that we have enough money left in the account to purchase the 15' x 25' flag. Would you consider <br />authorizing the purchase at this time, or would you prefer that we wait until February 2008? The 10' x 19' flag that we just raised <br />is new and should not need to be replaced until 2009. (That is, it should last two seasons.) However, the 15'x 25' flag was new <br />and lasted only one season. In any event, I can send you a funding request early next year for flag replacements; that will be <br />needed in 2009 and 2010 as you requested. In the meantime, please let me know whether we should proceed with the.` <br />replacement of the 15'x 25' flag. Thank you. <br />From: Jeff Anderson [mailto:JeffA @ocfl.org] <br />Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:39 PM <br />To: ZUCKER Richard <br />Subject: RE: Veterans Flag Fund <br />Hi - <br />That sounds fine. <br />I would suggest sending me a full report and request for renewed funding about three months before your next round of replacing <br />the flags -- perhaps in summer 2008 in preparation for replacing them in the fall. Obviously, if they wear out sooner, you can move <br />this up. <br />Jeff <br />From: ZUCKER Richard [ mailto: RICHARD.ZUCKER @ci.eugene.or.us] <br />Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:11 PM <br />To: Jeff Anderson <br />Cc: RISDAL Lacey L; FINNEY Kevin P <br />Subject: RE: Veterans Flag Fund <br />Thank you for the quick response. I made some inquires and have just learned that there is currently a balance of $1,707 left in <br />the grant. The flag purchases will total $1,048.70. That will leave us $658.21 in the grant. So, we do have sufficient funds for this <br />year. I expect that we will have to replace the flags that we are about to buy in another two years. How far in advance would you <br />need our request for a renewal of the grant? <br />2/12/2008 <br />
