program for a local stakeholders group to be mvolved in state
transportation decision making. Paula Brown, RVCOG, was
present to discuss the regional transportation plan. Each mayor
gives an ovendew of community news/activities. We did discuss
growth. For example, Eagle Point now a community of 3,400
people, expects to reach 10,000 in ten years. Medford, a sleepy
community of 11,000 when Mayor Lausman arrived in 1942 is now
54,000. Medford is expected to exceed 70,000 by the year 2000.
We need to plan for that growth. Mayor Dave McFall, Eagle Point,
called to our attention an article in the most recent League of
Oregon Cities newsletter, stating that block grant dollars were
available for law enforcement. Small rural communities may be
eligible. RVCOG would assist in a grant proposal to allow for
representation on JACNET (Jackson County Narcotics Enforcement
Team) .

A special thanks to all who planned, prepared for, and participated
in the Butte Falls 4th of July celebration this year. The parade was
one of die best that I can remember. Thanks to all!!

The regular council meeting was scheduled for July 11. We did not
have a quorum of council members present that evening, so
rescheduled a meeting for Monday, July 15. On the 11th there was
a birthday cake and flowers for the mayor who had celebrated an
anniversary of turning 39 the day before. Thanks to Anne, Bobbie
and the council for this!
On Monday, July 15, the Planning Commission recommended
approval for a modular to be placed on the Wright lot on upper
Laurel street. The council approved the proposal.
On July 22, Scott Mallory, resigned from the Public Works position
to accept employment elsewhere. The council has known that Scott
has been looking for another position for some time. On behalf of
the town, we wish Scott well in his new job. The resignation was
effective immediately, and leaves us with only our part-time assistant
to carry on the duties. Greg has been trained to perform most of
the tests and to serve as backup. However, we must have a state
certified waste water treatment operator and a certified water system
operator to manage the systems. We have posted the position
vacancy and will be accepting applications. Applications are
available from Bobbie McClanahan at the city hall Monday-Friday
8-12 a.m. I have made some contacts for assistance in the interim.
The Marshall and council discussed the article in last month’s
newsletter to clarify intention and direction.
Written reports were presented by Public Works and Fire
departments. EDC update was verbally presented by the mayor.
On Saturday, July 20th I hosted the Mayor’s Meeting here in Butte
Falls. Once a month, the mayor’s of Jackson and Josephine county
.meet, alternating community locations for the meetings. The
RVCOG (Rogue Valley Council of Governments) coordinates and
is the communication link for the mayors.
The meetings are
informative. This month, Monte Grove from ODOT (Oregon
Department of Transportation) presented information about a pilot
