8 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2017 Theft from 1A The tips that were stolen from employees of the Surfside Restaurant were later replaced by Driftwood Shores manage- ment. “We were able to go through the paperwork and identify exactly who had what missing from their paycheck and make sure they got the money they were owed,” Alletson said. The manager also said that responding to that part of the situation was important to him Dunes City on a personal level. “We have since made good on anybody that lost their tips. We have paid them all back, not only the ones that are working here now, but the ones that were working here then. We made every effort to locate any employee that may have lost tip money and reimbursed them,” he said. The official investigation was initiated after Alletson compiled financial information that indicated Bursaw had allegedly been taking money from the business. allow the above lighting to evaporate the rest of the waters in the trays. We do not dis- charge any products from our site to any sort of drainage sys- tem ever.” She also explained that the site has a concrete floor that would further prevent seepage. Dunes City does have the ability to monitor if grow sites seep into the water supply. In every public city council meet- ing, a time is set aside to dis- cuss the lake and reports from water testers. Despite all of this, some Dunes City residents are con- tinuing to push for the grow sites to be disbanded, even after the council decided Oct. 25 to allow the LUCS to con- tinue. Residents are writing resolu- tions for the city council to from 1A even heavy use of the well will significantly impact the lake. A 400-foot well will have the same impact as a 100-foot well.” The 400 feet was in refer- ence to the unusual depth of the well, caused by problems in its construction — the walls kept caving in. While most wells reach 100 feet, Cain- Mathis’ reached 400. Seepage from the grow site was another major concern of the public, with fears that con- taminants would seep into Woahink lake. “We have no stagnant water issues,” Cain-Mathis said. “What little excess water the plants have is drained out to be caught in trays below. We A complaint was filed with the Florence Police Department, which gave the case to Sgt. Brandon Ott for a formal investigation. “We have worked closely with the police, giving them all the backup data, to show exact- ly what day it was taken, how much was taken and who it was taken from,” Alletson said. In an affidavit submitted to the Lane County District Attorney’s Office, Ott stated that after initially denying that she had committed a crime, Bursaw eventually admitted to pass, attacking the grow sites over water use and detailing information local citizens have found out about the growers and the process that led to the LUCS. Defining the ordinances, and enforcing them when they’re broken, is only a small part of why the LUCS still remains, and why Dunes City Council is asking if the city is broken. In Part II of this article, which will be published Wednesday, Nov. 1, find out how miscommunication between Dunes City staff and the city council, lack of interest from the public and a severe lack of funds both led to the creation of the LUCS, and the cities inability to take it away.
