Foundation 9 is made up of seven <br />studios - five in the U.S., one in the United <br />Kingdom, and one in India. <br /> <br />“Pipeworks was founded by game developers <br />who wanted to do what they love, in the city <br />they love. We have occupied several different <br />offices during our existence, but staying close <br />to downtown Eugene has always been <br />important to us. Everyone is really excited <br />about the new office – we have better network <br />bandwidth, lots of lunch spots within walking <br />distance, and good access to secure car and <br />bike parking. Many of our employees enjoy <br />being able to bike into work every day. Thank <br />you for welcoming us to the heart of downtown <br />Eugene!” says Shelby Wills, senior producer. <br /> <br />More information about Pipeworks is available on the web at www.pipeworks.com, on Facebook at <br />www.facebook.com/pipeworkssoftware, on twitter at www.twitter.com/pipeworks, or contact Laura Hammond at <br />laura.a.hammond@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-6021. <br /> <br />City Doubles CAHOOTS Contract Service in Response to Local Needs <br />Eugene Police Department’s (EPD) contract with CAHOOTS has been doubled and a second van has been <br />purchased and put into service to enhance its response to people experiencing mental health issues. <br /> <br />In 2010, EPD’s response to non-criminal holds increased 47 percent over 2009 figures.
