O . O L .October 2019THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE CITY OF LAKE OSWEGOHello LO READS ANNOUNCES BOOK FOR 2020 The Lake Oswego Public Library has selected Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore, a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction by Elizabeth Rush, as the 2020 book for its award winning citywide reading program. Rising tells the story of how severe storms have affected communities throughout the United States, from the wetlands in the Gulf Coast to Miami, Staten Island, the Bay Area, and the central Cascades of Oregon. Love of nature and hope for the future shine in Rush’s lyrical prose, as she weaves stories about the decisions those living in these places must make – staying in an increasingly vulnerable position, or retreating away from home. These stories, combined with rich commentary from wildlife biologists, activists, and other members of the vulnerable communities, put a face to those facing, fleeing, and adapting to the dynamic landscape, and highlight how the ripple effects of climate change reach everyone. Rush said, “It is an honor to think of this book making its way into your community in such a meaningful way.” The Lake Oswego Reads Events committee is presently developing MULTI-CITY EQUITY SUMMIT PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE The City of Lake Oswego is proud to be part of the upcoming Multi-City Equity Summit on Saturday, October 19! We invite citizen and business leaders, government and police representatives, school teachers and administrators, and residents of all ages to join us for the inaugural Multi-City Equity Summit as we learn together and identify ways to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in our community.

CATCH BASINS HELP PREVENT LOCALIZED FLOODING As the seasons change and the leaves begin to fall, storm drains can become plugged with debris. Storm drains, also known as catch basins, are key for our storm drainage system - they drain excess rain and ground water from paved streets, parking lots, and sidewalks to prevent flooding. Our Public Works crews work hard to ensure that the City’s 9,898 catch basins are cleared and allow stormwater runoff to flow. But... we need your help! This rainy season, we encourage everyone to clear leaves and other debris from catch basins near their property. A quick sweep with a broom or rake will easily clear off a catch basin and keep our drainage systems flowing properly. Do not attempt to remove the grate - only the debris on top of the grate. Clearing leaves, limbs, and debris from the catch basins can help keep storm drains flowing at peak performance during wet weather. We and our storm drains thank you for the help! TOO MANY LEAVES? There are several disposal options available throughout the community for leaves and other yard debris. In addition to composting leaves or taking them to a designated drop-off site, you can use your weekly yard debris container provided by Republic Service. For additional leaf collection, use “Recyclable Kraft” bags for an additional fee of $4.90 per bag. Recyclable Kraft bags are available at most home improvement stores. Another option is to take leaves and other yard debris to a drop-off site, such as the Metro South Transfer Station. Do not dispose of leaves in your garbage can. Remember, do not put leaves onto the street. These leaves can clog catch basins and cause flooding. Lake Oswego City Code prohibits blowing, sweeping, raking, or otherwise depositing debris onto sidewalks or streets. In addition, property owners are responsible for keeping sidewalks abutting their property free of leaves, ice and snow, and other material which may make the sidewalk hazardous. If you have questions or would like more information about how to properly dispose of yard debris, call the Citizen Information Center at 503-635-0257. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WANTS YOUR KEYS LOFD’s Lock Box Program allows emergency responders to access your home or business in case of an emergency. Sturdy and secure lock boxes are made to contain an access key and is placed outside a home or business. Using a special key, the lock box can only be opened by authorized LOFD personnel. In an emergency, the key in the lock box can be quickly accessed by emergency responders to gain access to the home or business without causing damage to doors or windows. The cost of a lock box is relatively inexpensive, especially in comparison to the cost of replacing an entire door or window. The residential program is especially beneficial to the elderly and to persons with medical conditions in cases where they are injured or too ill to open their door. For additional information, including how to purchase a Knox-Box, contact the LOFD at 503- 635-0275, or visit www.lakeoswego.city/fire. LO Fire Marshal, Gert Zoutendjik, retrieving key from lock box.
