Those <br />interested in subscribing to the service may do so on any of the neighborhood <br />association pages on the Neighborhood Services website at <br />http://www.eugene-or.gov/nassociations. All information provided will be kept <br />confidential. <br /> <br />Anyone can sign up to receive publications from as many neighborhood <br />associations as they want and can unsubscribe at any time. This service <br />improvement has the potential to expand the reach of neighborhood <br />communications since one does not have to have a postal address within a specific neighborhood boundary to <br />receive an electronic publication. A mailing will be going out to all non-resident property owners inviting those <br />interested to subscribe. <br /> <br />Phase two of the project will occur in the latter half of 2010, and includes researching and implementing a way for <br />community members to opt out of receiving paper publications and only receive electronic publications. The <br />challenge for this second phase will be maintaining connection to all current residents as turnover occurs within a <br />neighborhood’s boundaries.
