From the Desk of Celeste Tate, City Administrator
Spring has begun and as such the weather cannot decide whether it will be 70’s and sunny, or 30’s and snowing. While we had some record-breaking temperatures in Oregon and many unseasonably warm temperatures here in Union in March, the weather has returned to normal Spring fluctuations while trending upwards.
Work has started on well #2 that will be paid for with the CDBG grant. This well will have improvements completed this summer along with a new building. This project will take approximately 2 ½ to 3 months to complete after which time, well #3 will also be improved to include new controls. The city hopes to have these two projects completed by the end of August.
Public Works is also preparing for several chip seal projects to be completed in mid-July. South 4th will be chip sealed 3 blocks along with portions of E Delta, Belwood and E Harrison. More to come as the project time approaches.
Public Works will also be completing some scheduled maintenance, repairs, and cleaning at the wastewater treatment plant this summer which will take most of the summer to complete.
The City of Union will be hiring soon to fill a full-time vacancy in the Public Works Department as a Utility/Water/Maintenance position. Advertising will begin this month with interviews towards the end of the month. Applicants must be age 16 years or older and possess a Driver’s License.
As a reminder, budget meetings are scheduled for April 23rd-25th at 6pm. We welcome you to come and observe and comment on the FY 2024-2025 budget. Public comment on the budget will be received on April 25th, 2024 at 6:00pm and observation from the public of the budget committees deliberations will be on the 23rd and 24th starting at 6pm.
