BUSINESS FROM THE AUDIENCE
1. BILL MORRISETTE, 348 G Street, Springfield. Mr. Morrisette said he was here to speak
about the property of the Springfield Sports Complex facility. He talked about the steps that had
taken place, and the process in which the property was originally purchased. He said so far
approximately $1.7 million dollars of public money has been invested in this facility. He said the
property is far too valuable to just be ball fields. He asked council to support the Phase I, II, and
III process that Broadbase is recommending.
2. GAYLEN OHMANT, 223 W. It" Avenue, Eugene, said he represents Integraer Architecture,
and Roy Gray. He said they have developed the staging process for this proposed facility. He
said they are two weeks away from applying for the building permits for Phase I. He further
stated the utilities for all the phasing will be installed during the Phase I construction. He said
construction for Phase I will begin on July 1,2001, and be completed by Jan 1,2002. Phase II
construction to begin on April 2, 2002, and Phase III construction to begin six months from
completion of Phase II.
.
3. GREG VIK, 2023 Kimberly Drive, Eugene, said he represents Broadbase Programs. He said
partnerships between public and private entities require commitment on both sides. He said most
of the people that have been working on this project have work very hard for the last six years to
have it come together. He said they are strong believes that the children of this community need
additional facilities to allow them to participate in sporting events. He urged council to support
the Phase I, II, and III process, and asked for their continued support as they have come so far to
get to this point.
4. DWIGHT PURDY, 1011 Harlow Rd., Springfield, said he is here tonight representing
Broadbase Programs. He asked council to take a vote tonight to approve the Phase I, II and III of
the Sports Complex. He said South Umpqua Bank has guaranteed financing, and asked council
to stand behind this committed project, he said to eliminate it now would be a disservice to Mr.
Gray, all the staff and community members that have worked so hard, and the community itself.
