<br /> <br />Aviation Excellence Award Recognizes Eugene Airport Employee <br />Eugene Airport Director of Communication and Development Cathryn Stephens has been awarded the 2010 <br />Aviation Excellence Award by the Northwest Chapter of American Association of Airport Executives (NWAAAE). <br /> <br />“This is a well-deserved honor. Cathryn’s work has had a tremendous impact on both customer service and <br />positive community relations at the Eugene Airport (EUG),” said Eugene Airport Director Tim Doll, A.A.E. “One <br />example is her use of social media which earned EUG a spot in the top four of Forbes Magazine’s ranking of <br />airports using both Twitter and Facebook.” <br /> <br />According to NWAAAE, “The Aviation Excellence Award is intended to recognize those airport management <br />professionals, other than the person having primary responsibility for the airport, who have gone out of their way <br />and given substantial extra effort to ensure the promotion, operations, maintenance or development of aviation <br />and/or the airport. The recipient should be a person of exceptional qualities who may perform management, <br />supervisory, operational, engineering, planning, or maintenance functions in the second or other level of the airport <br />organization.” <br /> <br />Stephens took the position at the Eugene Airport in 2007. She is a certified member of the AAAE and is currently <br />working toward accreditation in the organization. <br /> <br />NWAAAE includes the states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado, and <br />the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and the Northwest Territory, and the <br />countries of Asia. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Eugene Airport Director Tim Doll at tim.m.doll@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-5430. <br /> <br />Dedication Event Saturday Gives Public a Preview of New Delta Ponds Bridge <br />After more than a year of construction, the Delta Ponds Bridge is ready for a public preview. Eugene Mayor Kitty <br />Piercy and members of the community will formally dedicate the new bridge on Saturday, September 11, at 11 <br />a.m. <br /> <br />After the formal dedication, a short parade led by the <br />One More Time Marching Band will give pedestrians <br />and non-motorized vehicles an opportunity to cross <br />the new bridge. Local residents are also invited to <br />have fun at a community festival from 9:30 a.m. to <br />3:30 p.m. at 900 Robin Hood Avenue, at the east end <br />of the new bridge. “All Paths Lead to the Crossing” <br />will feature food, music and lots of family-oriented <br />activities. Admission is free. <br /> <br />While the dedication marks the substantial <br />completion of the $5.6 million bridge project, the <br />work isn’t completely done. Once the fun is over on <br />Saturday, the contractor will reclose the bridge and <br />Artistic rendering shows how the new bridge will look at night with the <br />lights on. <br />finish installing permanent hand rails and putting up <br />specialty lighting, including cable lights on the top-most cables and the edge of the bridge deck. For more <br />information about the dedication event or the bridge project, contact Project Manager Patrick Cox at 541-682- <br />6854. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />September 9, 2010 <br />
