Eugene Symphony returns this month Th e Eugene Symphony will be returning to per- form at the Bohemia Park Amphitheater on Monday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. Pandemic restrictions prevented the symphony from performing last year and the musical ensemble is excited to be able to re- turn. Now in its 55th season, the Eugene Symphony is recognized as a corner- stone of the performing arts in Oregon’s southern Willamette Valley. Under the leadership of Music Director and Con- ductor Francesco Lec- ce-Chong, the Eugene Symphony pursues its mission of enriching lives through the power of mu- sic by presenting annual classical, pops and com- munity engagement per- formances, regularly com- missioning and premiering new American works, and disseminating its perfor- mances via radio broad- casts and recordings. vegetation’ notifications On June 15, city plan- ning staff began inspecting properties within the city limits for compliance with Cottage Grove Municipal Code 8.12.045 Hazardous Vegetation. Code requires city prop- erty owners to cut and or re- move wild blackberry bush- es, weeds and grass over 12 inches in height, and vege- tation near combustibles or likely to endanger buildings or other property. Staff has inspected ap- proximately two thirds of the city to date with plans to have the remaining proper- ties inspected by the end of next week. Property owners with vegetation in violation of the code have been sent letters requesting the viola- tion to be corrected within 10 days from the date of the letter. Staff will re-inspect the properties for compliance. If the property is still in vi- olation, the city will send a second letter to comply and post the letter on the prop- erty. Th e owner will be subject to fi nes and a possible lien on the property provided the violation for vegetation removal has not been ad- dressed following the sec- ond letter. Interchange gets landscape improvements Th e contractor for the I-5 Interchange landscape improvements, Milroy Golf Systems, Inc., has been working at the Middlefi eld Golf Course the past cou- ple of weeks connecting new pipes in order to irri- gate both sides of ODOT’s Exit 174 I-5 Interchange. Th e new irrigation sys- tem will be completed this coming September and will be owned and maintained by the city. Th e contract amount for the project is $458,516 and includes fl owers and other vegetation to greatly increase the visual appeal of the city’s northern en- trance. Th e city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant currently treats and pumps Class A recycled water to the Mid- dlefi eld ponds, and then the golf course’s irrigation system distributes the recy- cled water throughout the course. However, at many times during the year, the dis- charge volume far exceeds the available area at Mid- dlefi eld. And, according to the city’s DEQ (Depart- ment of Environmental Quality) NPDES wastewa- ter permit, the city must avoid discharging treated wastewater to the Row River during the warmer months of the year. Th erefore, completion of this irrigation project, along with the recently completed storage pond, increases the city’s ability to meet DEQ requirements that ultimately improve the environmental conditions in the river. We also look forward to seeing a much greener in- terchange through the dry months. TURNING 65 AND NEED HELP WITH YOUR MEDICARE CHOICES?
