Want to be on a board?
It’s recruitment time for the city to fill their various boards and committees. A combined total of 29 positions need to be filled on the Budget Committee, Police Commission, Sustainability Commission, Library Board and eight other boards.
More information about all available openings can be found on the city website here. The actual application is located here. Note that you choose the board or committee you want to serve on when you get to the bottom of the application.
Update on tomorrow, Saturday, Feb 6.
We have decided to cancel our February 6th work party to better focus on the March 5 work party and Mayor Piercy’s dedication of the bridge on the same day.
Three of Awbrey Park’s regular volunteers will be at the park at 9am this Saturday. They’ll be greeting anyone who missed our cancellation message. We’ll also be doing some litter pickup, ivy and blackberry work, and possibly some butterfly garden and fawn lily prep work.
Feel free to drop by. If you want to pitch in, it’s a BYOTG&C. Bring Your Own Tools, Gloves and Coffee. Otherwise, please just drop by to see the new bridge and wander in the back part of the park. The bridge leads to a forested area that has quite a different feeling than the rest of the park. It’s a wonderful addition.
Our monthly Santa Clara Community Organization meeting is:
Thursday, February 4
Messiah Lutheran Church
3280 River Road
Main topic:
A Neighborhood discussion with LTD concerning alternatives for River Road and other major corridors for biking, walking, and taking the bus — both regular and EmX. LTD will be moving their transit station to the old site of the Santa Clara school. Find out what other changes might accompany the change.
Also, don’t forget the Awbrey Park work party this Saturday, from 9 am to noon. Come see the new bridge in the back of the park. Cross the bridge and you’ll find a lot more to explore.
You may have attended some of the input sessions at meetings or ‘pop up’ events last year. The results are in and the city is ready to share the results with us.
Staff will share what they learned from public outreach last summer and the vision that’s emerging for the future of parks and recreation in Eugene. Food and childcare activities will be provided. For info call 541-682-4800 or email carrie.a.peterson@ci.eugene.or.us.
Please put this on your calendar and help support your desire for dog parks, community parks, and parks with river access, et cetera, in the Santa Clara area.
February 18
6:00 – 7:30 PM
