MILTON-FREEWATER — The Milton-Freewater City Council meeting scheduled for April 13 has been canceled, the city said in an announcement Monday.

The city previously closed its public buildings and offices to the public on March 30 and postponed its monthly planning commission meeting with the hopes of convening on May 4. All other city commission or board meetings have been postponed “until further notice,” according to the city’s website.

While these closures include the city’s public works offices, recycling yards will remain open as usual but without staff there to assist the public. Residents are asked to drop off their recyclables in the appropriately marked bins.

The city has also postponed all pretrial municipal court proceedings until at least June 25, and those with questions for specific citations should contact the city court clerk at 541-938-8203.

Milton-Freewater’s public bus and taxi programs are continuing to operate on their usual hours and routes, and residents can ask their driver about changes in rules to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
