All the events in \u00a0July went well. \u00a0The different departments pulled together to make each of the many events a great success. \u00a0My thanks to all of them for their hard work on behalf of the city.<\/p>\n
The “Branding Team” has continued the work with our vendor NorthStar. \u00a0Things are moving ahead of schedule. \u00a0A tag line (which will be revealed later) was selected and the following weeks a log and colors will be next. \u00a0It’s a very exciting process and the vendor is doing some outstanding work.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Lundry worked diligently and swiftly to get a grant completed that may provide for a police officer. \u00a0The Federal COPS grant\u00a0provides for 75 percent of the approved entry-level salaries and fringe benefits of each new hire up to #125,000 per officer position, each year for three years.<\/p>\n
I attended the summer Oregon City and County Managers Assoc. conference in Bend. It was a great networking opportunity and we had some wonderful breakout sessions. \u00a0I also attend the Oregon Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Finance Workshop in Silverton. \u00a0I was hoping to find some options for financing future projects, made some good connections and think the time was worthwhile.<\/p>\n
David Snider and I interviewed a Portland State University (PSU) MPA student for a possible short term intern position. \u00a0 He will be working on the foundational pieces of the Arts Commission program. \u00a0This will probably include bylaws, application for commission positions, networking and developing some relationships in the arts community.<\/p>\n
