Food and <br />drink will be provided. <br /> <br />After existing for nearly 14 years as the Whiteaker <br />Public Safety Station, the neighborhood police <br />station serving the Jefferson/Westside, Whiteaker, <br />and Friendly neighborhoods and part of downtown <br />has relocated. The station is now located at 788 <br />th <br />West 6th Avenue (6 and Monroe), and has been <br />named the Monroe Street Station to reflect the move. <br /> <br />The new building is in a location with more drive-by traffic, and provides a larger and more <br />accommodating space for the public and for use by officers. The additional space has allowed two <br />district lieutenants and the Crime Prevention, Safer Schools, and Bike Patrol teams to move to the <br />station, providing more routine police presence in that area. Two Parole and Probation officers also will <br />have office space in the station. <br /> <br />The Monroe Street Station will be open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and will continue <br />offering all the services that were provided at the previous location. The station offers a public restroom, <br />public phone, public internet access, mail drop services, and free notary public services, in addition to <br />bilingual (English/Spanish) police-specific services. Members of the public can come to the station to file <br />a police desk report, get help filling out DMV accident reports, register bicycles, get neighborhood crime <br />and crime prevention information, obtain referrals to public and private assistance programs, and more. <br />For more information about the new station and the grand opening event, please call the Monroe Street <br />Station at 682-5149. <br /> <br />Genealogy @ Your Fingertips: Computer Workshop at Eugene Public Library <br />Lots of people think about researching their family trees someday, but aren't sure where to start. In <br />recent years, however, the Internet and electronic databases have made do-it-yourself genealogy easier <br />and more rewarding than ever before. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />September 29, 2006 <br />
