Included in the list of priority
projects provided by Civil West are
pipeline rehab, manhole repair, aerobic
digester aerator upgrades, an RV dump
station and bulk water station upgrades,
among others.
The estimated costs for wastewater
system upgrades and household water
system upgrades are $3,080,500 and
$3,416,400, respectively. As this is far
more than the city has in its coffers, Boger
suggested that the city seek grant funding
through an organization called Business
Oregon, which brings different granting
organizations together for what he called
“a one-stop funding meeting.” At such
a meeting “a few agencies can come
together and provide a better package than
anyone could by themselves” said Boger.
The council then passed a resolution
authorizing city staff and the mayor to
initiate the search for capital funding.
According to the wording of the
resolution, city staff is now authorized

to “seek the most funding available
that is in the best interest of the city of
Cave Junction.” This resolution does not
obligate the city to any specific funding
package or dollar amount, but just allows
them to start shopping around. Any
potential funding packages, whether they
are grants or loans, would come back to
the council for discussion and approval.
The amount of funding available will
determine how and when the projects are
undertaken.
The council also voted to authorize
the County Treasurer to include the city in
the Josephine County Investment Program.
This is a program in which the County
Treasurer invests the city’s tax revenue
until it is needed by the city. According to
Mayor Daniel Dalegowski, the city takes
part in this program every year.
There was then a brief discussion of
the proposed I.V. by Candlelight event,
a reprise of last year’s candlelight walk
in support of public safety. Councilor

organizers, was seeking city approval
for the event. As the event is still in the

for Aug. 3 after the Concert in the Park at
Jubilee Park.
During the public comment period
at the end of the meeting, and the closing
comments from the council, multiple
people voiced their approval of Deputy
Gerald Bayard, the contract deputy who is
currently serving the Cave Junction area.
They also praised the Josephine County
Sheriff’s Department for its cooperation
with local public safety groups. Burglaries
in the Cave Junction area were down
over the last month, a fact that Bayard
attributed to this increased cooperation.
Councilor Lindsey Gillette proposed
drafting a letter to the sheriff expressing
the peoples’ pleasure with their deputy.

filed for felony elude, reckless driving
and endangering.
*At 4:37 p.m. in a parking lot

“We’ve noticed
some beautiful gravel
deposits where some
of the salmon redds
are being put down.”
A redd is a
depression in the
gravel that the female
salmon makes with
her tail, then lays her
egg and then covers
with other gravels.
“There’s all
kinds of science
around how she picks
out the areas,” said
O’Brien. “What she’s
wanting for her little
ones is, there has to
be enough oxygen,
not stagnant water,
enough nutrients
in the water. Mama

some way to sense
that this is a good
spot, where it’s going

*A sister was paying for the sins
of her brother, who was a suspect in

doing so. The resident was informed
that although he had a receipt, he did

Grayback, O’Brien
added, will also tend
to slow down Sucker

lower flows heading
downstream.
The cost of the
project cost is about
$38,000, of which
$10,000 comes from
lottery funds and the
rest from the U.S.
Forest Service. The
Forest Service is also
providing the wood.
The weeklong project
is using contractors
for the labor, and
O’Brien noted that
this brings dollars into
our local community.

is the Dunn Creek
project. This will be
a remodel of a large
wood “legacy” project
dating from the 1990s.
