Election Results: Columbia County Approves 9-1-1 Levy
Columbia County voters over-
whelmingly approved the renewal of
the 9-1-1 operations levy in the May
21st election. Voters voted by an 85%
to 15% margin to renew funding for five
years for daily operations of the 9-1-1
emergency call and dispatch center.
In local elections for Verno-
nia School Board, all incumbents were
re-elected, including Jim Krahn, Ernie
Smith and Carrie Levenseller all candi-
dates ran unopposed. Columbia County
was still waiting for official results from
Washington County before they could
declare a winner for Position 6. No can-
didate filed for the position, but Brett
Costley and Brittanie Roberts both re-
ceived write in votes. Costley was lead-
ing 36 to 28 with just
about a dozen votes
to be included from
Washington County.
In elections
for the Vernonia Rural
Fire Protection District Board of Direc-
tors, Luke Ellis was elected to Position 5
receiving 231 votes; Micheal Demeter
received 216. Ben Davis was elected to
Position 1 running unopposed.
In elections for the Mist-Birken-
Endangered Species Word Puzzle
feld Rural Fire Protection District Board
of Directors, Joan Jones, William De-
Jager, and Patricia Wright were all elect-
ed, having run unopposed. Position 5
had 21 write-in votes.
COMMUNITY OPEN SPACES
The City will conduct public meetings to develop a plan for long term use of the land acquired
through the FEMA acquisition projects in numerous neighborhoods in the City. A formal public
hearing process is a requirement of one of the funding sources used to complete upwards of forty
(40) individual real estate acquisition transactions. When Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority
Community Development Block Grant funds were used in conjunction with other funding sources
for these transactions, a requirement to use public process to establish the long term use was
created – call it a string. This requirement for public process last for five years after the CDBG
grant is administratively closed, or until sometime in 2018 or so, date to be determined by IFA
during the administrative closing process.

WHAT WILL WE DISCUSS?
We will discuss the use of forty (40) plus properties that are owned by the City in perpetuity.
FEMA requires that no insurable improvement be created on these sites. FEMA allows the
City discretion on community uses without FEMA review. FEMA reserves the right to review
our compliance as we are required to report every three years. We will also discuss the CDBG
requirements that the community have input on the uses that the City establishes during the
initial five year compliance period. As the CDBG rules are the more restrictive guidance, CDBG
overlays the FEMA requirements for initial five years. From the City’s perspective the open space
that we own and manage may have the following uses:
1.
