This year's Eagle Point Parade Grand Marshals will be the EPHS Class of 1959. They were in the first Eagle Point Parade 50 years ago, which was also Oregon's 100th birthday. This year that Centennial Class will help Eagle Point celebrate the 50th parade and Oregon's 150th year.
The Eagle Point City Council approved an amendment to the Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) at their June 23 meeting. Only one person affected by the TUF was present at the meeting and there were no audience comments on the issue.
There are two revisions in the ordinance. The first revision applies to vacant land. The TUF will be $3.
