Public Works Says: “Cut Your Grass!”
Public works was out last week enforcing code on what might seem like a trivial regulation, but residents who let their grass get above 12 inches got a visit from Dan Frazier of code enforcement. Frazier says the hazard warrants the response.
“This time of year, right now, that is crucial, because here we are coming up on the 4th of July too when people got things that are sparking everywhere, by then every thing is tinder dry.”
Frazier says that with the dry grass and no rain a simple cigarette could turn disastrous for Florence. He says that people should mow their grass now and it may be the last time they have to do it this season. And the time may be coming when there will be a ban on gas powered mowers, cutters and trimmers because of the drier conditions.
EMAC To Review Waste Rate Decision
The Environmental Management Advisory Committee will be meeting tomorrow at 6:00 pm at the Florence Event Center. The committee will be reviewing the council’s decision on the solid waste rate review and what that will mean for haulers. As well as a discussion to recycling service changes and what that will mean for residential customers. The committee is still in discussion on what to do about plastic bags like those that are used by grocery stores for customers. They will be considering the next step in the evolution of them as well as how well businesses are complying with the food and beverage foam container regulation.

Razor Clamming Closed
Razor clamming was reclosed to the public again by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife late Friday after high levels of Demoic acid were found. The area closed includes Florence and north to Yachats and south to the Umpqua river. This includes all beaches and bays. ODFW tests clams every other week and two consecutive tests with normal levels are required to reopen.
