ITEMS FROM MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy announced that young Mr. Piercy completed a seismic study of the Eugene City <br />Hall for his Master's Program. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy reported that the Awbrey Park opening in Santa Clara was well-attended and <br />thanked the Parks and Open Space Division, which played a major role in this project. She said <br />that Public Works Day was also a wonderful event and the employees of the Public Works <br />Department deserved many thanks. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon reported that the Apple Orchard Affordable Housing Grand Opening was <br />impressive and congratulations were in order to service providers who can build such units. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon said the Echo Hollow Pool Grand Re-Opening was quite impressive and would <br />prove to be a prudent investment for Ward 6. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon shared that she provided testimony before the Board of County Commissioners at a <br />recent public hearing regarding the County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and requested <br />that the County restore the City/County Road Fund Parmership, currently not included in the CIP. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor said the agenda for the most recent Human Services Commission meeting was devoted <br />to the budget -- the need was great and funding was scarce. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor reported that the Community Health Center staff continued to struggle to ensure that <br />the federal grant funding will work to the best advantage. He also noted that Lane Metro <br />Partnership was in the process of finalizing its budget and plans to review the inner workings of <br />the organization as part of this process. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor said that long-term planning was discussed at the last McKenzie Watershed Council <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz announced that the Bethel Celebration would be held on June 4 from noon to 6 p.m. at <br />Petersen Barn. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 23, 2005 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
