City Council Meeting Recap January 13th, 2025. At the Creswell City Council meeting on January 13, 2025, new council members and a new mayor were sworn in, including Mark Kremer, Joan Morris, Clark Kent, and Mayor Nick Smith. They took an oath to serve with honesty and integrity. Outgoing officials, including Mayor Dave Stram, Councilor Normajean Osborne, and Councilor Shelly Clark were recognized for their service. The council discussed a public safety issue raised by Ryan Larue about speeding near schools and suggested ways to improve safety. The council also went over committee appointments for the year, including those for the Water Rate Advisory Committee, Public Safety Committee, and others. The council approved a $280,500 contract for sewer work on Second Street, discussed a grant for new restrooms at Second Street Park, and reviewed a project to improve the city's water tanks by annexing properties to streamline the permitting process. They also planned to fill the vacancy left by Councilor Nick Smith's resignation by February 2025. The meeting ended with a reminder to visit the city website for information on upcoming meetings, with an emphasis on transparency and public participation. The meeting was adjourned.
The City of Creswell Airport Commission will be holding their quarterly meeting tonight at 5:30pm in Creswell City Hall. Members of the public are welcome to attend.

Do you know what the City of Creswell's process is for lost and found dogs? Here's a quick summary! If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at 541-895-2531.
8 months ago, Creswell Admin
What happens when the City finds a lost dog? City staff work hard to locate the dog’s owner by checking our licensing system and seeing if the dog has a chip. The City feeds and looks after the dog until the owner comes to claim the dog or up to 72 hours, whichever comes first. If the dog is not claimed by its owner within 72 hours, it is taken to Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene.

Romeo World’s Tallest Steer Romeo proudly holds the title of the world’s tallest living steer, standing at 6 feet 4.5 inches. More than just a remarkable animal, he symbolizes compassion and empathy in the Creswell community.“I represent the kindness this community holds for animals,” he shares. Although he doesn't roam the streets often, his message of support for animals and the environment resonates deeply. Motivated by community love, Romeo has become a local celebrity. “Every time people hear my story, it sparks curiosity and compassion,” he says. He enjoys participating in events like Romeo's Fall Festival, which celebrates animals in a cruelty-free way. As the "spokes-steer" for kindness, Romeo collaborates with Welcome Home Animal Sanctuary to promote empathy toward farmed animals. He believes that, as a gentle giant, he inspires others to embrace a more compassionate lifestyle. Inspiration comes from the animals at the sanctuary and the dedicated volunteers. “Together, we’re showing that a small town can have a big impact on how we treat animals,” he notes. Each interaction can spread a little more love and kindness. Romeo proudly claims, “I’d like to think I’m the community’s tallest advocate for love and compassion.” His experiences in Creswell affirm his belief that kindness flourishes here, making him a cherished member of the community.
