The plans include a full-scale replica water tower with interactive water features, a rail track and an “art walk” through a local sculpture garden. The design was
supplied to the City of Cottage Grove by Dougherty Landscape Architects out of Eugene.
GRANT
from A1
communities which have
been hardest hit by chal-
lenges facing the travel,
tourism and outdoor recre-
ation sectors. The funds are
meant for the investing in
“infrastructure, workforce
or other projects to support
the recovery of the industry
and economic resilience of
the community in the fu-
ture.”
The main thrust of the
Bohemia Park project is
improving Cottage Grove’s
“premiere
community
park” entrance and so en-
hancing its connection to
the community through
better accessibility, cultural
and historic awareness and
active and passive activity
centers for youth.
The project also aims to
attract tourists and pro-
mote economic develop-
ment in the center of the
city.
The improvements will
focus on the northern tri-
angle of the park at the in-
tersection of 10th and Main
streets, taking advantage of
the grassy, unused space on
that side of the park, which
has in the past been used to
host carnivals.
The plans include a full-
scale replica water tow-
er with interactive water
features, six stone pillars
reflecting the five founda-
tional topics of Bohemia
Park and the area’s native
American history, and an
“art walk” through a local
sculpture garden.
Bohemia Foundation’s
EDA tourism grant request
will be for $1 million to-
wards a total project cost
of $1.2 million. The city’s
match of engineering and
planning staff support, util-
ity fees, and permit fees is
estimated at $50,000.
During Monday’s meet-
ing, Councilor Greg Ervin
asked about the compet-
itiveness of the grant and
whether the project had
legs absent grant funding.
Public Works and De-
velopment Director Faye
Stewart said it was his un-
derstanding that around
$52 million is available in
the State of Oregon for this
grant pool.
“Because the Bohemia
Foundation is quite a ways
down the road in the plan-
ning for this and also has
the committed funds for
this project, it’s going to
make it very competitive,”
he said, adding that the city

was “feeling very optimis-
tic” about getting the grant.
Bohemia
Foundation
has already been pledged
$300,000 for the project.
Stewart assessed it was
likely that a considerable
amount of the project will
be under construction by
next spring, regardless of
whether or not the grant is
awarded.
“So, we’ll see the project
moving forward,” he said.
“It may just take a little
bit longer to get the total
funding and get the project
completed in its entirety.”
Councilor Chalice Savage
asked whether the rounds
of a redwood cut down this
summer could be used in
the park project.
In August this year, two
redwood trees which were
causing a nuisance to city
infrastructure and the ad-
jacent residence were re-
moved from the corner
of Chestnut Avenue and
North G Street.
Among conditions for
the trees’ removal, the logs
are to be milled into lumber
and used throughout the
city for benches and other
projects while the rounds of
the stump of the larger red-
wood would be cut for use
to memorialize the tree and
its 100-plus-year history.
Stewart said that while
it hasn’t been declared as
part of the project, it’s “very
possible” as the project con-
tains plans for a walkway
which could be used to
display historical items and
art.
Councilor Kenneth Rob-
erts voiced his support for
the project.
“I applaud it,” he said. “I
think it makes our commu-
nity more of a destination. I
think it will help economic
development and I really
hope to get this grant so
you can move forward.”
The enhancement of Bo-
hemia Park is in accordance
with several city plans in-
cluding a long-range Mas-
ter Plan approved 2008,
which centered around the
development of the park as
an economic development
and community asset.
It is also in alignment
with the city’s 2003 Water
to Woods: Master Parks
Plan, as it adds “elements
of cultural and historic
awareness, local art, active
and passive play to the park
while enhancing tourist ap-
peal, accessibility and eco-
nomic potential.”

City Manager
Performance Review
Following an annual per-
formance review of City
Manager Richard Meyers
in executive session, the
city council voted in reg-
ular session unanimously
to amend the city manag-
er’s agreement to include
an additional four percent
compensation adjustment,
effective for the 2021-22
fiscal year (beginning July
1, 2021).

Municipal Judge
Performance Evaluation
Cottage Grove City
Council will perform an
annual evaluation for Mu-
nicipal Judge Martin Fish-
er prior to renewal of the
judge’s contract, which ex-
pires Dec. 31, 2021.
Councilors considered
whether to remove the “Not
Applicable” option from
the evaluation form as pre-
vious evaluations included
a high number of such rat-
ings. Ultimately, councilors
decided to keep the rating
option.
The evaluation will be
held in executive session on
Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. before the
council’s regular session.
