<br />maintenance costs are many times that of habitat based costs, and it would be wise to <br />actually have the ratio based on total costs of each park type to make it financially <br />responsible. <br /> <br />The multi-use field's 8 year $500,000 turf replacement costs should be considered <br />general maintenance, and the turf should be coming out of user fees! That ongoing <br />expense should not be born by the general public. <br /> <br />I would like to ask that City Council keep the record open as long a time a possible due to <br />limited time availability of the revised project list. <br /> <br />I do not like the idea of adopting a "living plan or project list" that can be changed by <br />staff and/or council, but I would much rather see a control of the project list be <br />implemented by the general public. <br /> <br />The Public has not been given adequate time to consider the growth allocated to each <br />area and the impact of what type of park development would raise system development <br />charges the most. I would bet a natural based project list would show a reduction in <br />System Development Charges as apposed to a project list favoring active recreation. I <br />don't think we have the right priorities because they are based on time and funding and <br />not long term community goals to be "The greatest city of the arts and outdoors". <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Charles Biggs <br />540 Antelope Way, <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br />Page 2 of2 <br />
