Jenna described a variety of activities, including a kickoff party that drew about 260 people, Minecraft and Lego programs, performances by Eric Herman and Louis Fox, a competitive dance event and an ultimate bingo showdown. The summer program used a game-board theme, creating a fictional city called Sim Staton to organize reading activities and prizes.

Councilors praised the library staff. Councilor O'Rourke and others voiced appreciation for the program and the social-media feedback the library received.

Howard said a subset of six ice-cream-social events attracted 220 attendees (excluding city staff and their families), averaging about 37 people per event.

Howard identified three marketing tactics that yielded measurable results: lawn signs and A-frames, door-knocking, and handout ice-cream coupons that brought attendees back to subsequent events. He credited multiple departments and community partners for contributing signs and staff time and thanked Melanie for guidance on ideas and execution.

Councilors praised the outreach. Councilor Ken commended Howard’s enthusiasm and called the parade a “huge success.” Councilor O'Rourke asked about planned fall activities; Howard said staff are arranging presentations by the city manager on the pool and parks levy to community groups including the Chamber, Rotary and the Senior Center, and organizing a wastewater treatment plant tour for Rotary. Howard said he will use the summer learnings to build a communications plan that the city can update over time.

No formal council action was taken; the item was an informational update and staff will proceed with the communications plan and schedule outreach events.","City community engagement staff said they participated in 13 city-related events over the summer, highlighted tactics that drove attendance (lawn signs, door-knocking, ice-cream coupons) and said they are drafting a living communications plan to support council goals on trust and outreach.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982834,"Public works director: Corps' supplemental EIS nearing completion; 10 NTU monitoring cited",169,1223000,1392000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771046-bf0d7742bc3ce876a394c06964f1196d&start=1223&end=1392","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771046-bf0d7742bc3ce876a394c06964f1196d/thumbnail_1223000.jpg","/articles/5982834/Stayton/Marion-County/Oregon/Public-works-director-Corps-supplemental-EIS-nearing-completion-10-NTU-monitoring-cited","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982834-d74413895bd74ce385f367d4993c4302/orig.mp4?Expires=1776265994&Signature=T7tqPy92jdoIWYErYf1gqF0A1kZ6uBQgph7oRysDUKzuE01LBP8fYtC6CIdbZjon792c7BtxIGkZwyMidjByVfn-9D4bM87vAwBu90YrjJEqy1zTv-WoOz8gNDh-4IyeJsjH~ukwFJyPRyFSCsUHQsapivc5c4UFNz7BjlezCkPfm3Y0Z0wPx2HjRWF1l5H5yQpsWvuy7pRkMhc-m4hvXH6f5tMNRd8xFr3inRzr8ImYD88NGnJDHrLkqXLsPeSg1APC-OVGvj-xcnOPVotly7q5aNvsGnrF5bwhQ9OrCjzUNkN72buW057PJV0VsHF~nKdkJxAcpdGlAzvM9iWCoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Barry Buchanan, interim public works director, told the Staton City Council that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has indicated it is looking at a control limit of 10 NTU for waters released from Detroit Dam and that a supplemental environmental impact statement is nearing the end of production.

Buchanan said the supplemental EIS will go out first to “interested parties” and then to the general public for comment; he said local water providers were not included in the initial review. He said he expects the Corps to release a final document “early next year,” after which drawdown actions could proceed.

When asked who the interested federal parties are, Buchanan listed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He cautioned that the city has not been provided detailed monitoring locations or implementation specifics.

Councilor Sims asked whether the city could provide a public-facing measure showing how local water use might be affected. Buchanan said staff could produce a presentation or web display; he added, “but as it stands right now, if we can't produce water, the answer is 0.”

No council action was taken; the item was an informational update and council members discussed possible local outreach, including a proposed town-hall presentation.","Interim Public Works Director Barry Buchanan told the council the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering a 10 NTU control limit for releases from Detroit Dam and that a supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) is nearing completion, with a final EIS expected early next year after public comment.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982839,"City adopts 3% credit-card processing fee for payments over $3,000",279,883000,1162000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771046-bf0d7742bc3ce876a394c06964f1196d&start=883&end=1162","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771046-bf0d7742bc3ce876a394c06964f1196d/thumbnail_883000.jpg","/articles/5982839/Stayton/Marion-County/Oregon/City-adopts-3-credit-card-processing-fee-for-payments-over-3000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982839-6b36c38e1459977621d459b180dccf0a/orig.mp4?Expires=1776265994&Signature=f54oeq5WJ-gTWNJzJYIh3IwnuXyTPTX4spMwbybW3m2z1rIolS3gu5soEos7eFM8y9g7Z2GuzpeNx9e1lkCtBjyTmNiVEeMgUCPmBfaSzTeAnzEK1GI13pf5tuCQaDhDBH2XIgkghn0Osxo4aaW9tIy7jR36TE1~NHEdqrjjRpi2J04I2PsEmFmHoBLCP3G1ChtTkTOKCmR3TtdLjQWejNT-ELyMoLOlW70sYguL9w-m5UgtZq6sALH5jggekMXesdUKuPfaeiv6ztExC530DMvTrR6V0DN-0m5IafgmlkBHfP2srqjWWarhd~6MXE584YnWgNdFGbAi8qDJ4KVMcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Staton City Council voted 4-0 to adopt Resolution 25-031, which imposes a 3 percent credit-card processing fee on city payments that exceed $3,000 and excludes monthly utility bills. The council made the decision during its regular session after a staff presentation and questions from council members.

Randy, finance staff, told the council that “the city incurs processing fees on all our credit card payments,” and recommended a 3 percent fee on payments over $3,000 to recover a portion of that cost. “We accept payments such as permits, licenses, and development fees,” Randy said, adding the fee would not apply to monthly utility bills.

Councilor Sims asked how much the city pays in processing fees annually. Randy replied, “Probably about 20,000 a year in processing fees just on our general services, so everything other than utility.” Councilor O'Rourke asked why staff selected the $3,000 threshold; Randy said finance targeted the level because many public-works and building-permit charges commonly begin in that ballpark.

Councilor Patty moved to adopt Resolution 25-031 “as presented.” The motion was seconded. On a roll-call vote the council recorded four yes votes and approved the measure. Melanie, a staff member, conducted the roll call.

Implementation details noted in the staff presentation include the $3,000 threshold and the explicit exclusion of monthly utility bills. The council did not modify the resolution at the meeting and provided no additional specific implementation timeline during the session.","The City Council voted 4-0 to adopt Resolution 25-031, adding a 3% fee on credit-card payments above $3,000 (exempting monthly utility bills) to recoup processing costs estimated by staff at about $20,000 annually for non-utility transactions.","actionData","errors"]
