well,” said Boone, who was
also in attendance. “In my
personal opinion, it seemed
that everybody there was
really engaged and interest-
ed.”
City staff and councilors
have discussed improving
community outreach eff orts
this year as part of new goal

followed from this as a way
“to help our local residents,
which includes the council,
better understand how all of
this infrastructure that they
are paying for works and
why it’s important and why
it costs what it does,” said
Boone. “Also, why we need
skilled persons on staff to
be able to run these things
– to give people a window
on those complexities.”
Two more rounds of
tours are planned in the
coming months. Th e next
three-week round of tours
for the next group will
include councilors Greg
Ervin, Kenneth Michael
Roberts and Jon Stinnett,
beginning Aug. 12.
A fi nal round of tours in-
cluding Mayor Jeff Gowing
will begin on Sept. 2.
Th e inclusion of the Cot-
tage Grove City Council in
the tours was a purposeful
addition.
“Th ere’s no point in doing
a bunch of tours to educate
the citizenry about these
things and not include our
city councilors, who are the
ones who are most direct-
ly making decisions about
them,” said Boone. “Every-
body who comes on the city
council gets a tour of those
locations, but it’s not as in-
depth.”
Th e potential for future
tours covering other as-
pects of city remain, but no
plans have yet been made.
Th ose interested in join-
ing a tour group can contact
the city manager’s offi ce at
541-942-5501 for more in-
formation.
More information on the
wastewater treatment plant
can be found in brochures
at the front desk of City
Hall.
