Tuesday the Junction City Public Works crews worked to put up the concert stage on North Washington Street downtown.  Ray Ibarra, Public Works Director Ray Ibarra said this year the stage is a bit smaller and works off hydraulics. “So it’s a little bit an easier task this year, it seems to be.” Ibarra added on this stage there is a roof on it and a floor that drops down through hydraulics. “In the  years previous before that we had to set the light towers up, and get everything set up that way. Then we drive the stage underneath the tower and put that down.”

Other jobs for Public Works included fueling generators that supplied power downtown, and daily trash pickup.
