Northeast Neighbors

Northeast Neighbors (NeN) is the City-chartered neighborhood for the area that includes all lands within the urban growth boundary north of Randy Pape Beltline between the Willamette River and North Game Farm Road. Northeast Neighbors was created in 2011 when the Cal Young Neighborhood Association was subdivided into three neighborhoods. (See map of NeN area.)

We are committed to helping our neighbors increase their sense of community, to creating events that offer opportunities to meet one another, and to helping inform neighbors of issues that affect them.

Our next speaker was EWEB: Frank Lawson, General Manager. He gave an overview of the new direction EWEB was taking and stressed safety and reliability as their  #1 priority; with a focus on water quality and affordability. EWEB has a very good reliability record; no water rate increases in next 3 years planned. EWEB Board Member, John Brown, referenced the EWEB bill citing that storm and waste water were Eugene city costs and not EWEB. Regarding emergency preparedness EWEB is developing emergency water sites (wells) around the city. Five currently, more planned. In case of an earthquack and damage to water system these sites will provide drinkable water for residents. There is an EWEB open house scheduled: October 16, 5-7pm, at EWEB headquarters.  Emergency preparedness will be NeN initiative next year. EWEB will work with us. Mr Lawson responded to several questions from attendees.

Our last speakers were EPD. Police Chief Chris Skinner and EFD. Fire Chief Joe Zaludek. Chief Skinner began by indicating, as the new Chief, he took a fresh look at current operations. Noting that they are understaffed and therefore many calls are not addressed. His staff has only 4 minutes of free time each hour to respond to non emergency calls and build relationships. Need more free time to go to neighborhoods. This staff need will be brought to the city council shortly. Chief Zaludek began by stating his departmenr has seen a heavy response to emergency non-fire needs. It also has many shared customers with EPD. This is taxing his department as it serves both Eugene and Springfield. 

Both responded to questions addresing crime, homeless issues and ways their departments are addressing the issues.

Responses included: The homeless include multiple unhoused segments: substance abusers, mental health, families in hard times, people who like being unhoused and “travelers”.  Our downtown team know the people and which segment they fit into. This police pressure downtown has pushed people out here into our community. Property crime is Eugene’s predominant issue. Illegal camping is not an arrestable offense. Community Court is huge success. 91% do not reoffend. Need low barrier shelter for the homeless. Cahoots is great asset.

Chief Skinner stated we should keep calling EPD numbers regarding low priority crimes (at least to record data); bolster Neighborhood Watch.
