David Ivan Piccioni <br />, Ward X, was concerned about trees being cut in Eugene to accommodate <br />construction activities and infrastructure development. If a tree had to be cut for some unavoidable <br />reason, Mr. Piccioni recommended that alternatives be considered first and that the trees that were <br />removed be replaced. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy closed the Public Forum. She thanked those who offered comments and said the council <br />would discuss the recommendations of the Opportunity Eugene Task Force on April 11. She thanked Ms. <br />Berg Caldwell for her work with Municipal Court and thanked the University of Oregon students for <br />sharing information about Earth Week. Mayor Piercy invited people with general questions about City <br />operations to contact its Public Service Officer at the City Manager’s Office. She said the City of Eugene <br />had an Urban Forestry Program and trees were important to the community, as evidenced by the recent <br />Arbor Day activities. The City had a policy of replacing trees and the council was notified of all tree <br />removals. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz concurred with Mayor Piercy about the importance of urban trees. She thanked those who <br />offered testimony on a variety of issues. She invited Mr. Kasahun to contact her to discuss his concerns. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor thanked those who testified. She believed Eugene needed a stronger tree ordinance and <br />suggested it was preferable to reroute sidewalks than to remove trees. She believed only urgent reasons <br />should compel the removal of a tree. <br /> <br />Speaking to the issue of benches, Councilor Taylor believed downtown needed more places to sit. She <br />suggested that there could be stationary tables and movable chairs that residents could place as they chose <br />while they talked, drank, and ate. <br /> <br /> <br />2.
