Your help is needed to persuade the County Commissioners to spend this money on good quality pavement for Lane County roads. All cyclists are welcome. We'd love to pack the room and could use the help of cyclists from any County, but keep in mind... you'll be asked your address if you speak to the board, so, Lane County speakers only please. --------------------------------------------------------- We've spoken in front of the Lane County board several times since last Spring. We've emailed them many times. We went on a field trip with Commissioner Cindy Wheeldryer and the road maintainance supervisor. And currently, we're working with the Lane County Roads Advisory Committee, which is a public sounding board.... a filtering committee for the board, the public, and Public works. We are having limited success, but are continuing to fight for better roads. At the end of the summer, word came through that the Federal government was going to give the county a 5 year grant to help replace the money lost from decoupling with the Timber revenues. The first year it's 18.3 million. The Commissioners have decided to "hear from the public" on how to spend this money. They've scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday December 5th, at 7:00 pm, in Harris Hall. There will be people there wanting money for everything from jails, to boat ramps. We, of course, want some of the money to be spent for good quality pavement. You've all probably seen the brief that we put out early in the summer, that explains the chip seal problem. If anyone hasn't seen this, and needs a copy to prepare themselves to speak, please email me. It identifies several examples of problems with chip seal. The County hears public comment every week, but this meeting is special. It's specifically about this Federal money. We plan on speaking (if we can get high enough up on the sign up sheet), and delivering a copy of our goals, which the commissioners have seen before. Where you come in, is for the Commissioners to hear from other voters beside us (Phil and Jay and I). Any aspect of chip seal you might want to speak on would be good. We need to let them know, that there are votes behind this. ------------------------------------------ The speaking session at the December 5th meeting could be short. Possibly only 20 minutes long, with only 2 minutes given to each speaker. They (the County) may lengthen this, if they see lots of people signed up. We won't know 'til we get there. There will be competition for who can get to the sign up sheet first. It's first come, first served. Even if you don't get to speak, showing up matters. I encourage people to write something out. That way you can email it to the Commissioners later, saying that you did not get a chance to speak that night, but were there, and this is what you would have said to them. For sign up, we're suggesting that people show up at 6:15. The sign up sheet becomes available at 6:30. Public session is at 7:00. The meeting is at Harris Hall, downtown (see attached flyer). By the way... you don't have to have a long speech. What matters is that you are standing before them, and took the time to come down. All you really need is about 60 seconds. Say who you are, that you are against chip seal, and are in favor of spending the Federal monies on pavement. But if you want to add anything about other points againts chip seal, feel free. Our current read of the situation, is that we will probably never be given the chance to have a public hearing just on chip seal. The Commissioners have not responded to our repeated requests for this. We have been advised that this may be the ONLY opportunity we'll have to publicly speak to them. We're just lucky this situation fell in our laps. Our only other course, would be an emailing campaign, which most likely will still be needed later in the Winter. That's about it. Share this with any cyclists you think may be interested in speaking as well. The flyer is included, to make it easy to pass around. Thanks for your time. If you have any questions email me at Patty-@Hotmail.com. - Bill Brown-Gierga <<updatedflier,roads112000.wpd>> ------_=_NextPart_000_01C0531C.C4BF6080 Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
