a hike on the new Amazon Headwaters trail, showing tree protection measures put into place <br /> <br />there. Steve Gallup of Public Works Engineering, showed how partnering with urban forestry staff <br />helped in constructing the Garden Way street improvements. <br /> <br />Linda (McKay) Korth hosted the group at the Oakway Shopping Center courtyard (see photo), where she <br />grew up playing among the white oaks when it was in her grandparents’ farmyard.

Dave Lane, facility <br />maintenance supervisor, felt the partnership was very <br />successful. The students saved his crew several <br />hours of labor working on a site they use, and <br />received community service credit that will apply <br />toward their high school graduation requirements. <br /> <br />Recreation Services and Facilities Maintenance plan <br />to build on this recent success for future pool <br />maintenance closures by including even more competitive aquatic participants. Amazon, Sheldon and <br />Echo Hollow Pools need a wide range of minor cleaning and beautification projects during their <br />maintenance closures. The list of tasks is usually so long that some items cannot be addressed by staff. <br />With the assistance of swim and water polo team volunteers, Lane anticipates a more thorough <br />completion of the maintenance needs during the closures. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Facility Maintenance Supervisor Dave Lane at 682-8327, or Aquatics <br />Manager Doug Smith at 682-6336. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />September 22, 2005 <br />
