Admission is free, and thousands attend <br />each year. Over the years, Safety Fest has <br />developed into a total risk awareness event, not to <br />mention a fun time in the park with food, music, and <br />prizes. There will be many exciting and informative <br />displays and demonstrations provided by a wide range <br />of local public safety agencies. Through the generous <br />support of many sponsors, including Bi-Mart, Home <br />Depot, Les Schwab, Science Factory and the Relief <br />Nursery, there will also be kids' crafts, rock wall <br />climbing and a bicycle rodeo with a bike helmet give <br />away. Over 500 life jackets and 300 bicycle helmets will be distributed to youth in the community. By <br />engaging the community in a positive, festive environment, a big step toward reaching life safety goals <br />can be taken. For more information, please contact Cinimint Harper, Eugene Fire & EMS, 682-7120. <br /> <br />City Manager Participating in ICMA Law Enforcement Leadership Initiative <br />The U.S. Department of Justice is working with local government experts and others on identifying the <br />core competencies needed for great leaders in law enforcement. The steering committee for the <br />initiative includes Leonard Matarese, an ICMA Credentialed Manager with more than 35 years in public <br />safety consulting and public service, including roles as city manager and director of public safety. Input <br />into the process is being gathered through a survey, feedback from organizations such as the <br />International Personnel Managers' Association and the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and <br />focus groups that included participation from incoming ICMA President Ed Daley and Eugene City <br />Manager Dennis Taylor. <br /> <br />The project is working to identify the key knowledge, skills, abilities, character and the core competencies <br />important in a great law enforcement leader. The result of the project will be a selection tool that city and <br />county managers can use to ensure that the best candidates for a jurisdiction are interviewed and <br />ultimately hired. For more information, please contact Jan Bohman, City Manager’s Office, 682-5587. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />June 21, 2007 <br />
