up throughout the county. He
said the citizens can be ap­

Hall said the com pleted
county plan divided the county
into fo ur areas:
urban,
suburban,

recreational. The Sandy area
was included in the suburban
areas.
No one from the Sandy area
was included on the advisory
council, according to Hall. He
said no one volunteered and no
organizations submitted any
names of persons fo r the
council even though the county
contacted groups in the area.
The work of the advisory
council was to plan where
developments should be and
now it is up to the individual
areas to determ ine what
guidelines should be followed in
developing these areas.
The completed county plan
which just was released w ill be
available within the next few
weeks at libraries, schools and

The city council approved the

stipulation that first the county

In other business at the
meeting, a public hearing was

Included in the plan are 154

Sandy grade
plans building
bond vote
The Sandy Grade School
District is planning to hold a
bond election on Oct. 12. The
election w ill be for funds to help
the district keep up with the
need construction caused by
student increases.
Supt. Anthony Bryant, said
the amount of the bond has not
yet been determ ined. The
district is waiting for a cost
report from the architect. This
report w ill be given to the board
at its regular open meeting on
Sept 14 at 8 p.m. at the grade
school.
In a news release the board
stated their intention to “ in­
crease the size of the Firwood
Building so that it can ac­
comodate about 450 to 500
students. This represents an
addition of six new classrooms
to the existing 12 rooms. The
upper
grade
b uilding
under this plan would be in­
creased to accomodate about
500 students. This represents an
addition of nine classrooms to
transferred to other depart
ments.
But if the issue had become
confused by c o ntrad icto ry
statem ents by our Com­
m issioners, two of whom
recommended the election
because of the lack of revenue
to the County and the other -
stating there is enough money,
then the electorate could not
make a clear cut decision on
the proposition If additional
funds cannot be found then I
recommend the following:
1 That the parks be closed
immediately
2. That a portion of the
remaining monies left in the
park budget of $57,021 be used
to hold another election then
the issue of whether we have a
park department in this County
w ill be clear
3. Then if the people decide
we do not need these facilities
we should dispose of the natural
resources within those parks

Deputies ask county
for more money, men
The Clackamas County
Sheriff deputies are at odds
with the county commissioners
over payment on a contract
reached in June
The commissioners say they
are waiting for a legal ruling
from the D epartm ent of
Revenue on whether more than
one-twelfth of the budgeted
salaries could be paid initially.
Also they have asked the police
for 90 days to get the opinion
before meeting the new pay
scales.
The sheriff’s deputies mean­
w hile have picketed the
courthouse in Oregon City
demanding that the negotiated
pay scale be honored now in­
stead of in the 90 days.
The whole problem occurred
when the county failed to
budget enough money to pay
the salaries on the contract.
The union has filed a
grievance w ith the com­
missioners claiming they were
placed in an incorn ct step in
their pay ranges, costing them
between $40 and $50 per month.
In a letter to the com­
m issioners, Hal Abelson,
business representative of the
police union pointed to another
problem the sheriff’s deputies
have.
“ A fte r studies and com ­
parisons, we have discovered
that the Sheriff’s Department
Parks chief gives options
following levy failure
What w ill happen to the
county parks is still in question.
Last week the voters turned
down a special park levy of
$250,000 by a 2 to 1 margin, yet
county park supt Richard
Wilmot has hinted he favors
another vote.
He is opposed in his thoughts
by county commissioner Tom
Telford who is in favor of using
money from the new vehicle
tax to help the financial
problems of the county park
system
W ilm ot in a statement
released on Aug. 18 stated
“ I wish to thank the Com­
mittee and all the supporters of
the Special Tax Levy for parks
The m a jo rity of the ap­
proximately 11 per cent of the
people who went to the polls
indicated one of two things
They do not want to support the
park system in the County or
they were convinced by
Commissioner Telford that the
County Budget has the funds to
maintain the department and
its facilities.
“ If the latter is correct and
additional funds can be found
then the park system will go
forward as planned
“ If the former premise is
correct that the people do not
want to support a park system
then the parks should be closed
immediately and the funds
the existing nine classrooms,
plus a much needed music
classroom, and instructional
materials center (library) and
one counselor and special
education office.”
The bond w ill also provide
funds to remodel the district’s
central kitchen to accomodate
the la rg e r student body.
Currently the district is serving
approximately 750 lunches in
the facility that has not been
updated in recent years.
Bryant stated that with the
addition of the new buildings
the district would be able to
handle 1,500 students. A Bureau
of
Education
Research
(University of Oregon) study
projects the district having
1,425 students for the 1975-76
school year.
This projection, according to
Bryant, did not reflect the
expected growth in the city
with the completion of the new
sewer line.
The board stated “ it is the
proximately 500,000 yards of
gravel within the park area at
Barton Park is 15 cents per
yard royalty; this would return
to the County coffers ap­
proximately $75,000 A like
amount could probably be
returned from Wagon Wheel.
The to ta l revenues would
amount to $1,430,000 Other
parks within the system have a
reservation clause and could
not be denuded of their natural
resources.
“ I do not sincerely believe
that the 8,742 people who voted
wish this to happen nor do I
believe that the other 70,924
registered who did not vote
wish this to happen ”
Telford in a meeting last
week stated that if Wilmot
could not live with the decision
of the voters then he ought to
resign.

several times that he favors
