UPDATE: Experts working on our pool have recommended that our pool remain closed tomorrow (Saturday, 7/25/20) as well as today while we await the resolution of mechanical issues. We are working hard to resolve these, but as stated before, we will always err on the side of public safety first.

The City of Milton-Freewater is seeking an interested volunteer to serve on the City's Planning Commission.

Due to the increasing COVID-19 cases in Umatilla County the City of Milton-Freewater has the following changes in operations:

1) The City will not be accepting any more new park shelter reservations until further notice.

2) The City’s parks “open green spaces”, walking trails and golf course will remain open. However playground equipment will remain “closed” for the time being, because we do not have the resources and staff to continue to sanitize it as frequently as recommended.

ILLEGAL FIREWORKS

Now that the 4th of July is over, it’s past time to stop setting off fireworks.  Granted, not all fireworks are unlawful in and of themselves, but the fireworks still being set off and heard in the city are illegal.

In Oregon, any “firework” that actually explodes with a LOUD BANG, shoots into the air, or moves more than six feet across the ground is unlawful.  Even owning such a firework, whether or not it used, is a misdemeanor crime and could make the owner/possessor subject to arrest.

ATTENTION Milton-Freewater Businesses

Umatilla County Public Health has distributed KN95 Masks for Milton-Freewater Businesses to the City to disperse.  Please call 541-938-8233, 541-938-8243 or 541-938-8242 if you are interested.  A box of 25 masks will be distributed at first to make sure all businesses that are interested get some.  This will be on a first come first serve basis until they are gone.
