PUBLIC HEARING: RESOLUTION CONCERNING EUGENE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN e City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Ernie Drapela, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, gave the staff report.

Mr. Drapela said the updated plan is more readable, is better organized, and has a broader treatment of the local urban areas. It includes elements representing River Road, Santa Clara, and Glenwood. Calling the plan visionary, he considered it an attempt to foresee Eugene's park needs for the next 29 years. Mr. Drapela emphasized that public input was an important part of developing the draft plan. He pointed out that on page 7, item 15, the plan includes direction to II. . form a task team to explore if there is a sufficient need and, if so, determine a suitable location and appropriate way to manage and operate a skateboard facility.1I Using the public's input and the Joint Park Committee's direction, a complete draft plan was prepared and was the subject of public hearings before the Joint Parks Committee in March and the Planning Commission in June. As a result, numerous changes were suggested and accepted by those two bodies and are included in the staff's recommendation for adoption of the plan. Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 10, 1989 Page 2
