Planning Division Hires Consultant to Begin Lands Assessment <br />The Eugene Planning Division has <br />selected ECONorthwest as the consultant <br />to conduct the Eugene Comprehensive <br />Lands Assessment. The consultant <br />contract is expected to be signed the first <br />week of June 2008. <br />ECONorthwest will be working with the <br />Lane Council of Governments, <br />Winterbrook Planning, and Ulum <br />Associates to complete the mapping, <br />analysis, public engagement and reporting <br />required by this large project. The Lands <br />Assessment will address the requirements <br />of House Bill 3337 that call for the City to <br />conduct an analysis of the supply and <br />demand for residential lands for a 20-year <br />planning period. The assessment will also <br />study commercial and industrial lands, <br />natural resource areas and park lands, <br />and is planned for completion in <br />December 2009. <br />For more information about the Eugene <br />Comprehensive Lands Assessment, <br />please contact Neil Björklund, at 682-5507 <br />or via email at <br />neil.h.bjorklund@ci.eugene.or.us. <br />"Bach at the Library" Mini-Concert <br />On First Friday, June 6, at 6:00 p.m., the Oregon Bach Festival (OBF) will offer a free mini-concert at the <br />Downtown Eugene Public Library.

Why bother to take a cautious approach with products and activities around our homes? <br />Because preventing pollutants from reaching <br />neighborhood storm drains has a direct connection to <br />healthy, vibrant streams and rivers. Although storm <br />drains may remove pollutants from our view, problems <br />can linger on when the ultimate destination is our local <br />waterways. <br />Articles in the newsletter Stormwater Connections <br />typically address seasonal or current issues about <br />surface water and natural resource issues in our <br />community and cover at least one subject of interest <br />to our younger citizens. Over the next week, Eugene <br />area residents will receive the spring issue via mail. <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />May 29, 2008 <br />
