6A | JULY 30, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL OHA announces new online testing site locator The Oregon Health Au- thority announced it has published a COVID-19 test site locator to help Orego- nians across the state find testing sites in their com- munity. The interactive map is available on pages in both English and Spanish and can be toggled into multiple other languages: • healthoregon.org/ covid19testing or healthore- gon.org/pruebasdecovid19 (Spanish) People who experience COVID-19 symptoms, in- cluding fever, cough or shortness of breath, should contact a health care pro- vider to discuss whether to be tested. Health care providers de- termine whether testing is appropriate based on symp- toms and test availability in their area. The COVID-19 testing site locator was developed by Castlight, a health nav- igation platform that con- nects the information of hundreds of health vendors, benefits resources and plan designs into an online tool. Oregonians can locate nearby testing sites by en- tering their address or se- lecting state, county and ZIP. Oregonians should call the COVID-19 testing site before they go to learn about testing criteria, avail- ability and hours. Oregon’s testing guid- ance encourages testing for anyone with symptoms in consultation with a health care provider. If testing resources are limited, the following groups should be prioritized: The data on the testing locator was submitted to Castlight by both the OHA and local public health au- thorities. OHA cannot guarantee that people will be able to get tested at one of the sites. It is always best to contact a health care provider about getting a COVID-19 test. from A1 project last December, bringing the city clos- er to implementing a long-term solution to handling its daily fl ow of effl uent. Under the recently-ap- proved IGA, the city will take care of landscaping at the interchange in a manner similar to the golf course, adding the option for beautifi cation of the land with bushes and fl owers. “We can improve our entrance into our city by doing that,” said Stewart. Councilor Kenneth Roberts commented on the possibility of the Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council add- ing plants to the inter- change which are native to the area. “I like the idea of na- tive grasses and shrubs and plants,” he said. City Manager Richard Meyers pointed out that the placement of any large objects would like- ly be met with apprehen- sion from ODOT. “I think it’s also im- portant to note that ODOT would be very reluctant to have any kind of structures or large trees or plants put in there just for vehicle safety,” he said. “Th at’s a place for vehicles to run into and not hit those things and slow due to wet ground or grass ... So any structure of sub- stance would be some- thing that they would probably be a little more apprehensive about al- lowing us to do.” had already received government fi nancial aid and the last two appli- cants have not respond- ed to the city’s attempted contacts. “So the emergency grants are open again,” said Meyers. A total of $50,000 is available in the grant program, half provided through the city and half matched by Business Or- egon, the state’s econom- ic development agency. Grant awards range from $2,500 to $25,000, based on a formula from the state that accounts for employment size and COVID-19 related im- pacts. Businesses with 25 or fewer employees are el- igible, and only those that have been unable to receive federal CARES Act funding, including the Small Business Ad- ministration’s Paycheck Protection Program, Economic Injury Di- saster Loan Emergency Advance program, or other federal programs for emergency pandemic funding to date. Businesses are also required to use the proceeds for any busi- ness-related operating expenses, particularly to support businesses that were closed as they move into the fi rst phase of statewide reopening. “Historically disad- vantaged businesses are encouraged [to apply],” said Meyers. “And also nonprofi ts can apply if they have been in- terrupted because of COVID-19 restrictions.” Th e state lists Asian, Black, Native American, Hispanic and women business owners as his- torically disadvantaged. Th e grant money and application process is managed by the commu- nity development fi nan- cial institution Commu- nity Lending Works out of Springfi eld.

Th e city’s effl uent, which has been treat- ed to remove contami- nants, currently has no long-term storage space and must be discharged by way of irrigation or released into the Coast Fork of the Willamette River. With limited options, the city has run afoul of a few Department of Environmental Quality violations over the years, but it is hoped the extra 15 acres for irrigation at the interchange will help mitigate these issues. Meanwhile, the con- struction of a 12-million gallon treated effl uent storage pond and pump station is underway aft er the city was awarded a $1.3 million bid for the In other city council news: Small Business Emer- gency Grant Program Th e city’s emergency grant program for small businesses remains open as the city has yet to fi nd awardees. “We had fi ve appli- cants,” said Meyers. “Th e fi rst applicant was drawn and had a $10,000 grant, but they have declined the money.” Another two appli- cants were determined to be ineligible as they Save Now On Home Security Quality Cleaning Certifi ed Green Carpet Cleaning Specialists 541-942-0420 GREAT LOW PRICE MONITORING Monitored by ADT ® the #1 home security company in the U.S. ® ADT 24/7 Monitored Home Security Walk-In Tubs WALK-IN BATHTUB SALE!
