<br />Mayor Piercy and members of the Eugene City Council: <br /> <br />My name is Bryce Englehardt and I go to Prairie Mountain School. I <br />. would like to talk about the Golden Garden Ponds, or The Pits as referred to. <br />I knew one of the four people who have drowned in these ponds in the past <br />12 years. The ponds are unsafe and I want to make cleaning them up a <br /> <br />number one priority. <br /> <br />The ponds have swallowed many lives in their depths. Not just the <br />people who have died, or even their families. Everybody around them was <br /> <br />affected. We need to make the ponds safer before any more lives can be <br /> <br />taken. <br /> <br />I will do as much as I can to make the ponds safer. My 8th grade class <br /> <br />has plans to set up memorial, put sawdust on the trails, and plant trees. We <br /> <br />plan to fund these projects by various fund raisers. <br />There are things that we can't do though. Things like building a road <br />to the ponds, lowering the bank, or by planting fish in them. I want to <br />basically turn them into Junction City Pond. <br />Please help us make a better, safer, community. This should be our <br /> <br />number one priority. I leave you with these things to consider. Sincerely, <br /> <br />Bryce Englehardt <br />
