Last November, the City Council adopted new rental housing standards which establish <br />minimal habitability standards for structural integrity, plumbing, heating and weatherproofing for <br />rental housing in Eugene. The housing standard code is effective on July 1, 2005, and will <br />provide a local enforcement tool for some of the standards in the Oregon Residential Landlord <br />and Tennant Act. <br /> <br />Partnerships with the Bureau of Land Management helped us restored 70 acres of West Eugene <br />Wetlands, complete the Dragon Bend Stream Project, and begin the enhancement of 28 acres of <br />riparian improvements and the creation of new pedestrian trails around Delta Ponds. <br /> <br />For a year of transition, we have accomplished a lot of good work. Thanks to the council for <br />showing the way and getting us the resources to focus on these worthy community projects. I am <br />confident that the eight council-adopted strategic priority issues and related action plans, when <br />fully implemented, will lead to similar achievements in the coming years. I am excited about the <br />prospects. <br /> <br /> 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
