Santiam Hwy. – New Outlet (Off-Premises) PROCLAMATION / PRESENTATION / RECOGNITION: PROCLAMATION: Mayor Aziz declared February 1 through March 2 as Lebanon 5210 Healthy Community Challenge. PRESENTATIONS: Boys & Girls Club Update, Including their 21st Century Learning Centers Executive Director Kris Latimer, 33886 Tennessee Road, showed a PowerPoint presentation [found in Archives] and spoke about their vision of helping children realize their full potential through their many programs at their 5th Street location, old Jaycee building on 5th Street, Pioneer School, 2nd Street Teen Center, the VAULT on Kees Street, and their 21st Century Community Learning Centers. Ms. Latimer confirmed for Councilor Bolen that home-schooled kids are also welcome in the 21st Century Community Learning Centers. DRAFT Lebanon City Council Meeting Minutes – 1/9/19 Page 1 of 5 Councilor Stauder thanked Ms. Latimer and her staff for all they do for the community. Lebanon Downtown Association (LDA) Update Yvette Meyer, newly elected LDA president, introduced Cassie Cruze, the new Main Street Manager. Through a PowerPoint presentation [found in Archives], she shared their goals, accomplishments and needs for the upcoming year. She also spoke about the Main Street Oregon program and all of the public events they put on. She listed potential funding sources to sustain their Main Street Manager part-time position to maintain their Transforming Level standing. They feel that it is critical that the Council and City support the Main Street effort by annually allocating $25,000 from the City budget. Councilor Grizzle stated that this seems like an appropriate conversation with the Budget Committee. Dala Johnson said that this was a way to get their foot in the door because the Budget Committee will not meet for a few months. City Manager Marks reminded Council that LDA was given a one-time payment of $8,000 last year. In response to Mayor Aziz’s suggestion that this be brought back to Council, Marks stated that he can provide a statewide report on how other downtown association manager positions are funded. Mayor Aziz commented that cities contribute a surprising amount of money to their downtown associations. Ms. Johnson shared that most cities at the Transforming Level partner with their city and are given about $50,000. Councilor Grizzle congratulated them on what they accomplished. She added that this should be discussed further because she needs to be able to justify not funding other positions. Responding to Councilor Rieskamp’s question, Ms. Johnson stated that merchants do not currently pay a fee to LDA. They would not feel as though they are receiving enough in return, but it could happen in the future with a good manager and more incentives. Councilor Bolen stated that the need is there and the Council has been very supportive of what the LDA has accomplished and where they are going, but he is not comfortable working outside the budget process as this needs to be an equitable process. He agrees with Councilor Grizzle that this should come before the Budget Committee (and not as a Council agenda item) as a well-defined proposal with a sustainable financial process laid out. He is a little hesitant because LDA has a new director and board and are asking for more than three times the contribution. He clarified that he would not mind having a discussion and seeing the statewide report from Marks. PUBLIC COMMENTS Jason Cripe, 836 Kirk Avenue, Brownsville, provided information about the Guitars Under the Stars event and requested that the City consider 1) endorsing their request to the Chamber of Commerce for an additional $5,000 of tourism funding, 2) allowing them to place signage on City property, and 3) granting them a reduced rate for the Cheadle Park rental for their 2019 event. Councilor Grizzle asked how their organization is structured compared to the Oregon Jamboree and the Country Music Festival. Mr. Cripe stated that the Country Music Festival was put on by a large outside corporation who put profits first and community second. Guitars Under the Stars has never had any alcohol issues because they are very cognizant of how they affect the community. They are from this community and are for-profit but have never recouped their costs of putting on the events because they put community first. They know that if they continue on this path, it will turn around, based on reviews from musicians and the community. The hope is to eventually have paid employees who can put their full efforts into putting on a sustainable event. Marks suggested that Council not deliberate on these funding requests, but rather schedule them as agenda items DRAFT Lebanon City Council Meeting Minutes – 1/9/19 Page 2 of 5 when staff can provide a report so that Council can gain insight into the requests. Regarding the reduction of park fee request, he stated that there is a City process to go through. Councilor Stauder asked whether the group has their own security and whether there were any problems as a result of the event. Mr. Cripe stated that the County resident who made a noise complaint was informed that the group was within their permit limitations.

  • Covered Bridges Tour 10/4/2009
    ORPCA COVERED BRIDGES TOUR 10/4/2009 Tour created by Bob and Kathleen Ellis Abiqua Creek (Gallon House) Covered Bridge Background: The Gallon House Bridge, the last of Marion County's original covered bridges, is located over Abiqua Creek a little more than a mile northwest of Silverton. The name Gallon House was due to the bridge's use as a "pigeon drop" for liquor at the north entrance. Operators at a liquor dispensary nearby sold "white lightening" whiskey by the gallon to Silverton residents. At the time, Silverton was "dry," not allowing liquor to be sold in town, while Mt. Angel was "wet." County: Marion The Gallon House along Abiqua Creek was in Mt. Angel territory. Stream: Abiqua Creek During the 1964 Christmas Flood, the bridge suffered considerable Bridge Length (ft): 84 damage. The County Board of Commissioners, however, decided the Year Built: 1917 bridge should be repaired and maintained as an historical landmark, as it was the only covered bridge in the county at the time. In 1985, the old wooden structure was closed to all traffic when a damaged chord rendered it useless. County road crews repaired the bridge to accept traffic up to a 10-ton limit by reinforcing a lower chord, as well as making repairs to the beams and flooring. Also included in the renovation was a change in the size and shape of the portals. The revamped portals were hinged to allow them to be opened for taller loads when necessary. In 1990, because of poor structural condition, the bridge was rehabilitated to mint condition and the hinged portals were removed.

  • Covered Bridges Built in the Last Two Decades for Private Use
    Cedar Crossing Bridge - Photos by: Bill Cockrell Although not a true covered bridge as no truss is used for support, Cedar Crossing represents Oregon's commitment to a history rich in covered bridge lore. Don Clark, former Multnomah County Executive, lobbied for the county to build a covered span. He suggested that the bridge "be over a stream where the foliage is thick and turns to shades of yellow and orange in the autumn and children can peer out windows to see the waters below." One of Clark's ancestors, who had settled in Multnomah County, helped to promote a bridge across the Willamette. The location for the roofed bridge was found when engineers decided to replace the narrow, deteriorating wooden truss bridge crossing Johnson Creek in southeast Portland. Work to demolish the old bridge began in November 1981, and soon after, workers cut the stone abutments to accommodate the greater width of the new bridge. The installation of the decking, siding, and roofing was completed within two months. The span was dedicated in January 1982. After the ribbon cutting was completed and the commemorative plaque unveiled, a parade of vintage cars, horse-drawn buggies and wagons opened the span to public use. Although the day was cold and wet, the ceremony was far from dampened as Clark quipped, "If you ever wonder why they put covers on bridges, this weather will tell you." The interior of the bridge is finished with knotty pine, and a five-foot walkway separates the pedestrian and bicycle traffic from the 24-foot roadway.

  • Covered Bridge Tour
    Page 20 Seems Like Old Times • Albany Visitors Association cOvered bridge cOuntry North Oregon has the largest collection of covered bridges in the west and one of the largest in the nation. Nine of these authentic wood covered bridges are located in Linn County. The quiet roads linking these bridges are ideal for touring by bicycle, automobile and motorcycle. Five bridges located around the town of Scio, east of Albany, are included in a driving tour that is marked by signs along the approximately 30 mile route. Most of the bridges are painted white, however the Shimanek Bridge is set apart by its beautiful red color. Larwood Bridge and Wayside Park located on the picturesque Crabtree Creek still has an old water wheel that was used to produce electricity for the area many years ago. Linn County covered bridges were originally built during the 1930’s and 1940’s. Bridge builders often camped out at remote sites, living off the land or contracting with local farmers for food. Early covered bridge owners often fnanced construction by charging tolls; 3 cents for a sheep, 5 cents for a horse and rider. The life span of a wood bridge is about 10 years; however, by covering the bridge it could last eighty years or more. The Howe truss-type con- struction was used on all Linn County Bridges. Named for Massachu- setts –born architect William Howe, the trusses are a series of half “A” timbers sloping toward the center, where they form “X”s with vertical tie rods. visit tHe AlbAny visitOrs AssOciAtiOn website Or cAll FOr mOre inFOrmAtiOn Suggested Tour Route at Sankey Park.

  • Winter 2017/18
    The Newsletter of the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges, Inc. Winter 2017/2018 The Covered Bridge Exposed by: Jeffrey Zygmont, October 2017 In wintertime one hundred years ago New Hampshire country people couldn’t go across a covered bridge upon a sleigh because the cover kept the snow away, and runners under sleighs won’t glide on wood. Thus covered bridge protection was too good for northern farmers driving horse-drawn sleighs, a practical concern on winter days. So clever yankees found a remedy: they carried snow inside resourcefully and spread it on the dry, protected deck so sleighs could make an unimpeded trek. Thus bridges covered to forestall decay endured the winter’s snowfall anyway. *************************************** In this issue: Editor’s Comments ............................... 2 Recent Meetings ................................................ 6 President's Message .............................. 3 Pony Truss Project Update ................................ 7 Archives Update .................................... 3 On Tour with Senator Woodburn ................... 8-9 Membership .......................................... 4 Oregon Tour................................................ 10-13 Upcoming Meetings & Events .............. 5 2017-2018 Officers & Appts. .......................... 14 World Guide Update ............................. 5 Covered Bridge News ................................. 15-23 Winter 2017/2018 - 2 - NSPCB Newsletter The Newsletter is published Editor’s Comments … quarterly.
