Four board members also toured the Kaufman House with Craig <br />Smith. <br />The board gave considerable thought to articulating criteria that would serve both the <br />neighborhood and larger community well and would be harmonious with the intent of Trude <br />Kaufman’s bequest. <br />We believe the appropriate process for developing proposal(s) for the Kaufman Houserequires <br />that City Council provide staff guidance on the objectives, priorities and other criteria before <br />staff makes any specific recommendation for the future sale or lease of the KaufmanHouse. <br />I would like to meet with you and Craig to review the board’s request at your earliest <br />convenienceand discuss next steps. Could you please contact me to arrange a time? <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Paul Conte, Chair <br />1461 W. 10th Ave. <br />Chair@jwneugene.org 541.344.2552 <br />cc: <br />Mayor Kitty Piercy <br />Ward 1 Councilor George Brown <br />Craig Smith <br />2011-2012Executive Board <br />Paul Conte, Chair; Stephen Heider, Vice Chair <br />Kirsten Kelso, Treasurer; Sue Cummings; Angie Towle; Michael Kresko; Jess Hampton <br />
