8A • COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • JANUARY 23, 2019 from A1 Tiny very aff ordable, high quality housing of this type in a rural community where the need is just as great as in cities like Eugene but resources are oft en harder to come by.” Currently, there’s no set Finances from A1 Environmental Quality slapped the city with a fi ne when a sud- den spike in temperature con- tributed to micro-organism growth slightly above the regu- lated standard. Because of cur- Mayor from A1 cities like Salem announced a drinking ban aft er the city’s wa- ter tested positive for harmful bacteria. While Dorena Lake saw a recrea-tional ban, Cottage Grove’s water supply was never a danger to residents. Th at ef- timeline for construction be- gin on the remaining 12 houses but CVC is optimistic that the community could be complet- ed by the end of 2019. Th ere is also no set procedure in place for accepting applications for possible residents for Cottage Village. However, SquareOne and CVC have noted that a neigh- borhood selection committee would be formed to help screen applicants and that individuals who currently live in Cottage Grove would be given prefer- ence during the process. In or- der to qualify for a tiny house, individuals must adhere to a fi nancial requirement and an ability to live within a commu- nity agreement model. Cottage Villages will address just a small portion of the hous- ing crisis in the city. National- ly, housing prices — includ- ing rental rates — have been increasing. Th e city, with the use of a third- party company, conducted a housing analysis this year that determined the city would need to construct new housing units to keep up with population growth; two months ago, the city’s popula- tion reached 10,000. Th e county commission also awarded $250,000 to a project being captained by the Amer- ican Legion, Homes for Good and the city of Cottage Grove. Th e money will go towards the development that will feature four tiny homes that will serve homeless veterans referred to the project by the St. Vincent DePaul Vet LIFT program. Construction on the project is expected to start in the fall of this year. rent effl uent storage methods, wastewater management has been somewhat at the mercy of warm weather patterns. To address the issue, the city has hired an engineer. “Th e engineer is drawing up plans to create a way to store the effl uent,” said Meyers. “I think we’re planning on some- thing like 10 million gallons.” A storage unit of this size would allow effl uent to sit for up to a week, increasing the strategic capabilities of manag- ing effl uent. Th e plan also includes in- stalling piping for recycled wa- ter that would extend irrigation to Coiner Park, Bohemia Park and the Row River Nature Park. “We can really bring our acreage up so that we can broaden our window of irri- gating so we don’t get caught if we have hot weather in May or before we start irrigating on the golf course,” said Meyers. Meyers also pointed to cur- rent city irrigation methods as another reason to build a stor- age tank. Currently, Cottage Grove parks are irrigated with drinking water, which Meyers said could be a potential issue in the future as access to drink- ing water threatens to be re- stricted by city expansion and water rights. “It would be to our best in- terest and the community’s best interest to quit spending mon- ey on the water that we’re put- ting on the parks and ground … that could be drunk,” Mey- ers said. “It gives us a benefi t on both sides.” fort drew the most attention to the plant this year but accord- ing to Gowing, the plant also hired a new operator, hosted the Northwest Membrane Op- erator’s Association and partic- ipated in the govern-ment ac- counting offi ce’s research study on climate change and water infrastructure resiliency. Police department: It was a dog of a year for the Cottage Grove Police Depart- ment. Gowing highlighted the de-partment’s new K9 offi cer, Marco — a four-year-old Mali- nois — who works with offi cer Steven Biehler. Together, the pair completed 240 hours of training and were state certi- fi ed as an ap-prehension team. Additionally, the department’s dog kennel — meant to reunite lost dogs with their owners and avoid a trip to the pound in Eu- gene — saw several upgrades including a new storage shed. While Gowing did not mention it in his address, the council also approved a move to a new radio system for the depart- ment and, for the fi rst time in several years, the department is fully staff ed. Library: Th e Cottage Grove Library had a busy year with 151 chil- dren’s events and visits from 2,245 lo-cal children in 2018. Overall, the library — in a town of 10,000 — saw 72,776 visits. Gowing also informed the audience gathered for the meeting that the roof of the Cottage Grove Museum had been replaced; a housing needs analysis had been completed; the local golf course saw a 26 percent increase in play, four sewer mainlines were repaired and replaced; CGPD received 7,627 calls for service; and the new Harrison Elementary School was completed.
