Polk County News Polk County Itemizer-Observer • June 14, 2017 5a Moth: Treatments applied by plane Continued from Page 1a It can be carried by the wind and travel in the egg and larvae stage on plants. The moth species origi- nated in Australia and been established in Great Britain, Ireland, Hawaii, New Cale- donia and New Zealand, ac- cording to ODA. Its pres- ence was confirmed in Cali- fornia in 2007. The light brown apple moth is small, with a wingspan of 2 centimeters, and has a dull orange color. Worth said they look very like some native moth species. Worth said the moth has been a damaging pest to apple crops in New Zealand, where they used pesticides to battle it, only to find the moth developed resistance. ODA is using different treatment protocol. The 500-acre infestation area — which is mostly farmland and about 20 resi- dences — will be sprayed with two applications of a mating disruption pheromone and three ap- plications of ento- mopathogen bacteria. “The pheromone confus- es the males so they can’t find a female,” Worth said. The first pheromone treatment on June 21 will be followed by three once-a- week treatment of bacteria that infects larvae in July. Applications will be made by airplane. Both products are formulated for compliance with organic production standards, ac- cording to ODA. Notices were sent to homes in and within a quarter mile of the application zone, which in- cluded homes on the south side of Independence. A final application of the pheromone will be in mid- August. After that, ODA will monitor the site to see if further treatment is neces- sary. Residents in the area should expect to see and hear a low-flying plane starting in the early morn- ing of June 21. “It will probably be loud, unfortunately,” Worth said. Domes Budget: Adds teacher Continued from Page 18a Far from being concerned about leaving his small com- munity, Daniel said he’s ready to step into the next phase of his life. “I’m excited to get away and be on my own. My par- ents have certainly helped me throughout life, like a lot,” he said. “I’ve been very privileged with a lot of things, so being able to get out and learn about how it works and what to do, and stuff like that, will be nice.” Continued from Page 18a The state pays the money to the district to pass on to the schools. Almost $48,000 will pay for special education posi- tions, and $72,000 will add back the teaching position cut at Oakdale Heights El- ementary School. That leaves $680,000 left- over that will be held in contingency until all budg- et decisions are final, in- cluding union negotiations. The budget approved by the board now amounts to more than $35 million in general fund and slightly more than $58 million total. In other business, the board: • Approved a three-year contract extension for Su- perintendent Michelle Johnstone. That keeps her with the district through 2019-20. Johnstone will be paid $130,038 for the 2017-18 and future year adjustments will be by June 30 of each year. FC plans July Fourth event day before the holiday so people don’t have to choose between the Falls City celebration and others in Polk County scheduled on the Fourth. She said the parade on North Main Street will begin at noon. Britton is hoping a little more lead time will produce a larger parade contingent. “I put that on at the last minute,” she said. “There was like six people in it, but it was fun.” The parade will be followed immediately by a gathering and barbecue in Lower Park, serving grilled hamburgers and cotton candy. itemizer-Observer staff report FALLS CITY —The city of Falls City will continue its tradition of celebrating Inde- pendence Day early, with an event taking shape for July 1. Laura Britton asked the Falls City City Council’s permission to coordinate a parade and picnic the Saturday before the holiday. She organized a similar event last year. “Everybody really enjoyed it last year. The community came together very well. I think it was a great idea,” Britton said Thursday during the public comment portion of the council’s meeting. Britton said she wants to hold it the Satur- Search for city recorder begins By Jolene guzman The Itemizer-Observer FALLS CITY — The Falls City City Council approved a contract with the Mid- Willamette Valley Council of Governments, or COG, to conduct a search for a city recorder. Last month, the council held a work ses- sion deciding a city recorder would better fit its needs than a city manager, as it’s hired in the past. The city will pay $4,500 to have the search done, and it approved a job description so advertising can get started. Mayor Terry Ungricht said he negotiated the price down from $5,500. He inquired with another search firm that quoted him nearly $20,000 to conduct a search. Ungricht said he will work with COG to narrow the field of candidates down to three finalists. “Then we’ll have the session where you guys do the inter- view. Basically, the same way w e’v e d o n e managers in the past,” he said. “In my opinion, GOVERNMENT this is going to give us the best candidates, the best advertising and the best bang for our buck.” Councilor Lori Jean Sickles, who has been through other city manager searches, said she believes the city will fare better this time. “We were asking a lot before for little money, so I think we are going to have a lot more success with a recorder,” compared to a city manager, she said.
