EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER <br />March 10, 2005 <br /> <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 777 Pearl Street, Room 105 <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401-2793 <br /> (541) 682-5010 <br /> (541) 682-5414 (FAX) <br /> www.ci.eugene.or, us <br /> <br />COURT VIDEO PRODUCED TO ASSIST SPANISH SPEAKERS <br />EUGENE SYMPHONY PRESENTS DVORAK'S NEW WORLD SYMPHONY <br />CONSOLIDA TED PLAN PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION A T FIRST FRIDAY ARTWALK <br />BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY LEADERS COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT BETHEL <br />PROGRAMS <br />EUGENE PUBLIC WORKS TO HOLD SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT OPEN HOUSE <br />REGISTRATION FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS BEGINS MARCH 17 <br />APPLICANTS SOUGHT FOR WHILAMUT NATURAL AREA CITIZEN PLANNING COMMITTEE <br /> <br />Court Video Produced to Assist Spanish Speakers <br />Spanish speakers who come to Municipal Court for Paso a Paso Spanish arraignment sessions, held <br />twice each month, will now have more up-to-date information. In addition to having a Spanish-speaking <br />volunteer advocate available to help people through the court process, Paso a Paso also offers a <br />Spanish informational video. The current video shows the court process from the time someone gets <br />cited through fine payment, explaining each step as well as a person's legal rights. Unfortunately the <br />video is 10 years old; the people, scenes and information are all outdated. <br /> <br />Through the cooperation of various City departments, Metro TV, area business and service <br />organizations, and many community members, a new Spanish informational video about the court <br />system has been filmed and is in the process of being edited. The planning, scripting and filming of the <br />video was coordinated by Court Operations Supervisor Kristie Hammitt, who was assisted by Heidi <br />Dotson from Court and Francisca Leyva-Johnson of the Human Rights staff. The filming took place at <br />the University of Oregon bookstore, Centro LatinoAmericano, Whiteaker Public Safety Station, on the <br />street, and in the courtrooms and offices of Municipal Court at City Hall. The Metro TV team and various <br />actors spent over eight hours setting up the various scenes and doing the actual filming. Nine City staff <br />members were involved in the production of the new video, as well as including two police officers; two <br />interpreters; one attorney; one judge; and over 14 community members. <br /> <br />The new video is expected to be completed and ready for use in April. Paso a Paso court sessions are <br /> nd th <br />held every 2 and 4 Monday at 8:30 a.m. For more information, or to view the video, contact Kristie <br />Hammitt at 682-5019. <br /> <br />Eugene Symphony Presents Dvorak's New World Symphony <br /> On March 17, the Eugene Symphony presents a concert of best-loved works.
