0 0 <br />John Clark June 8, 2005 <br />City of Eugene Public Works Department <br />1820 Roosevelt Drive <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />Dear Mr. Clark <br />Lane County is very interested in continuing the contractual relationship between the City <br />Parks and Youth Services. Attached is a proposal for a new contract for the performance <br />of youth work crews in City of Eugene Parks. The City of Eugene has the need for a <br />consistent, reliable crew that will show up as expected on identified days. In response to <br />this need, DYS is committed to providing an average of 5 youth crewmembers and 1 <br />supervisor for each day of work. The cost per crew will be based upon the number of <br />crewmembers working during the day and the cost of the supervisor. We are also looking <br />at the design of how we refer youth to the crew so that we can maximize our youth work <br />force on this contract. <br />Also addressed is reimbursement rate. Our costs have risen by a substantial percentage. <br />Thus, our rates have increased. Despite this increase, with our commitmen to providing <br />full work crews and with the professional supervision of Community Service Staffing, we <br />believe we are offering you a superior service at an affordable cost. <br />Please review this proposal. Feel free to discuss it with Matt Sterner or Lynne Schroeder. <br />We sincerely hope that together we can work out a plan that pleases both the City and <br />County. <br />Thank you for your continued support. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lynne Schroeder, Assistant Director, 682 - 4747, lynne.m.Schroeder @co.lane.or.us <br />
