of its community. As
part of our research, the
city is reaching out for
feedback about mobility
hub needs.
A mobility hub is a
centralized
location
where many diff erent
forms of transportation
meet up to make using
into three parts. Th e fi rst
part is to identify what
a transit hub generally
would need – as well as
identify what the Cot-
tage Grove community
would want in a central-
ized transit area.

Gov. Brown directs state agencies to conserve water
Direction comes as a response to drought conditions
Governor Kate Brown
issued Executive Order
21-20 on July 7, directing
state agencies to curtail
nonessential water use,
implement water con-
servation measures, and
encourage drought resil-
iency.
The directive comes
as a result of 19 Oregon
counties already in de-
clared drought emer-
gencies, and the rest of
Oregon facing threats of
drought, according to the
U.S. Drought Monitor.
“Oregon has a strong
history of managing and
caring for water, but cli-
mate change and chron-
ic drought require wa-
ter conservation and a
commitment to working
together,” said Gover-

nor Brown. “Many state
agencies already have
taken steps to improve
the sustainability of their
operations,
including
actions to reduce water
usage. Through this Ex-
ecutive Order, state gov-
ernment can respond to
this growing crisis, lead
by example, and show
Oregonians that drought
is a serious issue — but
one that can be managed
if we all work together. At
the same time, it is criti-
cally important that we
keep in mind how curb-
ing water in public plac-
es may affect vulnerable
Oregonians who may
turn to public sources of
water for relief from hot
weather and adjust as ap-
propriate.
• Implement actions
that curtail or end the
non-essential use of wa-
ter for landscaping and
other exterior features of
buildings and grounds,
including lawn water-
ing, fountains that do not
re-circulate water, and
window washin;
• Institute a moratori-
um (where allowed) on
the installation of new
non-essential landscap-
ing projects that require
irrigation at state-owned
buildings; and
• Develop and place
signs and other messag-
ing within state-owned
buildings to encourage
state employees to re-
duce their non-essential
uses of water inside state-
owned buildings.
“Many local govern-
ments have also cur-
tailed water use on city
and county facilities. I
appreciate their leader-
ship and encourage all
local governments in
drought-stricken coun-
ties to conserve water
and begin implementing
drought resiliency strate-
gies as we face a worsen-
ing drought together.
“Oregonians can do
their part as well. I en-
courage everyone to be
conscious of water usage
and to take steps to re-
duce water use whenever
possible.”
The Executive Order,
effective July 7, directs
state agencies that own
or manage land or facil-
ities to:
