Thanks. <br />First off I want to thank Terri Harding, other City staff, the City manager, and the many dozens and even <br />hundreds of citizens who participated in this planning effort over the last 6 years. Bravo! <br />As far as fine tuning the resulting plan that is before us, I would like to say that I oppose the use of the land in <br />the Clear Lake industrial area expansion that has been designated as campus industrial. That very chunk of land <br />(of good size) if I am not mistaken was the piece that Commissioner Bill Dwyer proposed buying from the City <br />of Eugene as a new site for the fair grounds. Of course that never happen, but it was seriously considered. <br />As some of you may know, I participated in the effort to preserve and rehabilitate Civic Stadium, which even <br />though it burned down, was somewhat successful is saving the land's designation for recreation. Durning that <br />planning effort, I assisted Marshall Glickman who was hired to design a plan for the site. I basically did <br />footwork researching all the recreational and entertainment facilities in the metro area. I also reached out to <br />Travel Lane County for their input. What I learned from them was that there is a serious need for sports <br />
