Good morning, Lookout Eugene-Springfield,

Video recorded Oct. 15 at the Lane County Jail shows an ICE officer getting help to enter the locked public lobby of the jail, and then detaining a man. Lookout got the video after a public records request. Jaime Adame reports.

At a Springfield city council meeting Monday, Eugene Springfield Fire Chief Mike Caven discussed ways to create more sustainable funding for the department.

Local police and fire departments used to offer car seat inspection events, but since the pandemic, these safety checks have become harder to find. Enter Drew Pfefferle, an inspector with the Safe Lane Transportation Coalition. You can schedule an appointment, and he’ll ensure your car seat is installed correctly. Michael Zhang went to one such inspection to check it out.

Springfield council hears options for funding Eugene Springfield Fire

By Lillian Schrock-Clevenger

Eugene Springfield Fire Chief Mike Caven discussed joining a fire district, which could levy property taxes, or creating an intergovernmental entity that would charge a fee. Both are intended to create more sustainable funding for the department.


Have a good day.
