There is only one item I would like to add to goal 5: Implement a community-wide emergency preparedness plan. Thank you very much, Ruth Causey Philomath City Council This email is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Agenda Item: Work Session Meeting Date: 6/14/2021 Comments from Councilor Causey prepared for discussion. I don’t anticipate many changes to the goals, but expect there may be a few new potential objectives to consider. The Council will want to focus in on any objectives that may have an impact on the budget this year. Obviously, if it is not an objective of the Council, we should not be spending time or money on it, which brings me to the third item... We have taken on a very aggressive workload. When I look over the number of large projects we have committed ourselves to and the tight schedules associated with each of them, it’s easy to start feeling overwhelmed –and very excited at the same time! The new water treatment plant and reservoir, the Streetscapes project, Comprehensive Plan update, Landmark Drive LID, 11th Street improvements, 16th Street improvements, Veterans park, the new park on Chapel Drive, ongoing subdivision buildouts, and potential industrial and residential annexation and development applications top the list. It’s a lot to look forward to, and a lot for our small staff to handle. I believe we are up for the task, but it does mean our plates are full. I hope the Council will keep this in mind when considering new projects for the City to take on. This email is getting long and I’m late for my date night with Jenny, so let me just say I am really looking forward to the next three years of getting these huge projects completed with you. Please just realize that the next three years are going to be very busy with what has already been planned and we now need to carry out, so there may be some very cool projects or very good ideas that are simply going to have be placed on the Strategic Plan and schedule to complete 3-5 years from now. It’s not because they are not great ideas or projects, but if they aren’t more important than the items we are currently working on, they are just going to have to wait until we finish up some of our current projects and they then become higher priorities. I hope that helps set the stage a bit for Monday night’s work session and saves some time during the meeting discussing non-budget impacting items or items that are of lower priority for the Council. I appreciate all you do. Have a great weekend, Chris Workman 541-870-2886 This email is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Acknowledgements The only thing greater than the many obligations I incurred during the research and writing of this work is the pleasure that I take in acknowledging those debts. It would have been impossible for me to undertake, much less complete, this project without the support of the institutions and people who helped me along the way. Archival research is the sine qua non of history; mine was funded by numerous grants supporting work in repositories from California to Massachusetts. A Friends Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies supported my first year of research in the Philadelphia archives and also immersed me in the intellectual ferment and camaraderie for which the Center is justly renowned. A Dissertation Fellowship from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History provided months of support to work in the daunting Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library. The Chandis Securities Fellowship from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens brought me to San Marino and gave me entrée to an unequaled library of primary and secondary sources, in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.

  • Downloaded Maps Or Databases from the CLAMS Web Site Since 2001
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Sally L. Duncan for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences presented on November 17. 2004. Title: Technology and Meaning in Natural Resource Management: The Story- Making Role of GIS in the CLAMS Project Abstract approved: / Redacted for privacy Denise H. Lach The working hypothesis for this study is that the introduction of GIS technology into the ancient procedures of map-making has changed the map-making context sufficiently to require a revision of the way we think about, learn from, and use maps, specifically in the public involvement process in natural resource management. The assumption that we jointly know what maps mean, and how to use them, has been carried unchallenged into the vastly changed arena of digital, information-dense, and highly technical map-making, courtesy of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It has remained unchallenged even as the social context for environmental policy-making is undergoing historic upheaval. GIS fundamentally changes how information is viewed, literally, by many different groups, for its maps and databases contain varying levels of uncertainty, multiple embedded assumptions, potentially privileged knowledge, and considerable power as story-makers, along with unintended and unexplored social consequences. GIS maps/databases are used here as the central refractor of ideas about relationships between scientists and lay audiences; between the post-modern understanding of privilege and social change; and ultimately between technology and

PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1914 All rights reserved COPYRIGHT, 1914, BY ROBERT EDOUARD MORITZ (5 A LIBRARY -, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA PREFACE " EVERY one knows that the fine phrase "God geometrizes is attributed to Plato, but few know where this famous passage is foun '. or the exact words in which it was first expressed. Those who, like the author, have spent hours and even days in the search of the exact statements, or the exact references, of similar famous passages, will not question the timeliness and usefulness of a book whose distinct purpose it is to bring together into a single volume exact quotations, with their exact references, bearing on one of the most time-honored, and even today the most active and most fruitful of all the sciences, the queen- mother of all the sciences, that is, mathematics. It is hoped that the present volume will prove indispensable to every teacher of mathematics, to every writer on mathe- matics, and that the student of mathematics and the related sciences will find its perusal not only a source of pleasure but of encouragement and inspiration as well. The layman will find it a repository of useful information covering a field of knowledge which, owing to the unfamiliar and hence repellant character of the language employed by mathematicians, is peculiarly in- accessible to the general reader.

  • Reflections on Concrete Incompleteness⋆
    Reflections on Concrete Incompleteness? Giuseppe Longo Laboratoire d'Informatique CNRS { Ecole´ Normale Sup´erieure,Paris et Crea, Ecole´ Polytechnique http://www.di.ens.fr/users/longo Abstract. How do we prove true, but unprovable propositions? G¨odel produced a statement whose undecidability derives from its \ad hoc" construction. Concrete or mathematical incompleteness results, instead, are interesting unprovable statements of Formal Arithmetic. We point out where exactly lays the unprovability along the ordinary mathemat- ical proofs of two (very) interesting formally unprovable propositions, Kruskal-Friedman theorem on trees and Girard's Normalization Theo- rem in Type Theory. Their validity is based on robust cognitive perfor- mances, which ground mathematics on our relation to space and time, such as symmetries and order, or on the generality of Herbrands notion of prototype proof. Introduction: some history, some philosophy Suppose that you were asked to give the result of the sum of the first n integers. There exist many proofs of this simple fact (see [Nelsen93] for this and more examples), an immediate one (allegedly (re-)invented by Gauss at the age of 7 or so) is the following: 1 2 ... n n (n-1) ... 1 (n+1) (n+1) ... (n+1) n which gives Σ1 i = n(n + 1)=2. Clearly, the proof is not by induction. Given n, a uniform argument is pro- posed, which works for any integer n. Following Herbrand, we will call proto- type this kind of proof. Of course, once the formula is known, it is very easy to prove it by induction, as well. But, one must know the formula, or, more gener- ally, the \induction load".

A recent national sampling shows Oregon’s freshwater systems to be less supportive of aquatic life, less able to provide fish safe for human consumption, and more chemically unsafe to swim as compared to the national average. Though there are many local, state, and federal agencies and organizations currently working on-the-ground to improve the health of our home waters, restoration without stewardship is futile.
