The Mayor and members of <br />the City Council (and councilor-elect) are invited to <br />attend. Recruit graduation ceremonies never fail to <br />offer solemnity, humor, and warmth, and are always <br />well attended by friends, family members, and <br />firefighters. The 11 recruits in this class will have <br />completed 13 weeks of intensive full-time training <br />(classroom and hands-on), and after graduation will <br />be assigned to fire stations where they will complete <br />the remainder of their one-year probationary period <br />as members of regular line fire crews. The <br />department conducts recruit academies roughly <br />once per year to fill vacancies created by <br />retirements and normal attrition. This year's <br />ceremonies will be held at 1:00 p.m. on November 21 at the Emergency Services Center, 1705 W. 2nd Avenue <br />(2nd and Chambers). A reception will follow. Representatives of the media have also been invited. For more <br />information, please contact Fire & EMS Training Chief Lance Lighty at 682-7131. <br /> <br />Municipal Court Expands Service Delivery to Customers <br />It is now possible to pay fines and fees to the Eugene Municipal Court 24 hours a day using a web-based credit <br />card payment system. Payment may be made using either an interactive phone system or the internet. <br />Transactions on the new, easy-to-use online system can be completed within minutes. The user enters date of <br />birth, a summons number, docket number, and in some cases a driver’s license number, to retrieve account <br />information. Minor traffic violations, ordinance violations, and adjudicated misdemeanor charges are eligible for <br />online payment. The system will confirm a person’s charges and provide them with a list of those charges, and the <br />amount owed for each charge. After making a full or partial payment, the user will receive a payment confirmation <br />number. Online payments will not be accepted when the court has taken further action due to non-compliance. The <br />optional payment services have been well received by customers. Completion of this in-house application <br />development is the result of a combined effort on the part of staff in Municipal Court, Information Services, and <br />Finance. For further information, please contact Kristie Hammitt at 682-5019. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />November 13, 2008 <br />
