to go through before it goes before the
county planning commission for adoption
Besides the HPG the plan has been
distributed to public agencies such as the
US Forest Service for their review and

While the plan is being reviewed, the
formal printing of the plan will be done
The next step is for the plan to be

before adoption or denial of the plan is
made
Dople said the preliminary plan can be
changed during the public hearings if it
is felt a change is needed Also no set time
schedule has been set for hearings on this

The violation is under the county's new
solid waste ordinance
he had found 32 wrecked cars and piles of
debris on the property in contention in
early January 1972 and notified the owners
to clean the property or be in violation of
the ordinance
This ordinance is now currently being
studied by the Sandy city council as a
model to develop a new ordinance for the
city City attorney Paul Biggs is expected
to have a rough draft of the new ordinance
ready sometime in October
Within the past two months he said he
returned to the property to find 18 cars and
debris still remaining "Several com
plaints had been received from area
residents by the health department by that
tim e," noted Phillips
Named in the county 's complaint are Joe
Diorio and Robert Smith, property owners
in the Boring area
At the public hearing at the county
courthouse in Oregon City, Dave Phillips
of the county health department’s solid
waste division, made a presentation to the
commission on the senes of events leading
to the filed complaint Phillips noted that
Neither Diorio nor Smith were present at
the hearing to respond to the complaint
charge The commission declared the
property a public nuisance after a short
discussion and gave the property owners
30 days to comply with the cleanup order
before the complaint goes to the county
district attorney's office for action
the county a formal printing of the plan
and to conduct two meetings These
meetings w ill be to the county planning
commission and the HPG Both will be

No additional funding was concerned m
the extension period, according to Dople
The plan is being developed under a
matching grant of funds totaling $24,000.
The HPG and representatives from CH2M
and the county have been working on the
plan for the past year
Cooper placed on probation
City council seeking
investigation of police
By THOMAS TAYLOR
News Editor
Tuesday night the Sandy city council
approved the piacing of policeman Aaron
Cooper on a six month probation
Cooper had been on a one week
suspension while the council investigated
charges made against the officer
The placing of Cooper on probation
followed a heated public meeting Monday
night. Approximately 35 citizens attended
the council meeting, most of them m
support of officer Cooper
The council also Monday night moved to
call for an investigation into the operation
of the whole Sandy police force
The council w ill seek the services of the
State Board of Polic Standards and
Training for the investigation, (at press
time Wednesday there was no word as to
when the investigation would be held )
The charges against Cooper involved his
unpredictable re action to situations; the
method he used to stop a car with three
youths in it (he was not in uniform and he
drew his gun from its holster); his role in
helping a 15-year-old girl; and his
statement that he found it hard to work
with the police chief Fred Punzel
In the meeting Monday night, an in
vestigation report by detective Paul
Congdon of the Clackamas County
sheriff's office was read The report
concerned the incident where officer
Cooper stopped the three youths who were
harrassing the officer in front of his home
with their car
Cooper asked for the reading of this
report stating “ I have nothing to hide. "
The report showed Cooper had stopped
the vehicle and that his gun was taken out
of the holster while he was not in uniform
But the report did show conflicts from
those involved on what actually took place
and what was said
In detective Congdon's report, it was
stated the three youths had planned to
harass officer Cooper when they were
stopped by Cooper
The major issue in the report and in the
council questioning was the use of the
officer's gun
Cooper said he used the gun because he
felt the car might not stop or would run
over him
John Day told the council Cooper kept
his "cool" when dealing with the
youngsters in the area He said Cooper w as
the best policeman Sandy has
Allen Fry, a reserve officer, said part of
the problem was the city’s in not giving
Cooper the proper schooling
Several times during the meeting,
mayor Melvin Haneberg stated to Cooper
that the council was feeling pressure from
residents as to what Cooper's conduct was
with the 15-year-old girl
Cooper told the council he had been
asked by the girl's parents to give her
guidance.
"She is a girl with tremendous emotional
problems." said Cooper
The girl's father backed Cooper by
stating the officer was the first person who
had been able to really help the girl
overcome some of her problems
Several council members said they were
glad he was able to help the youngster but
felt he should use better judgement in
where and what time he counsels the girl
The council ended the hearing and in
their own discussion period determined
the best route was to place Cooper on
probation for six months.
Police chief Punzel said he would be
willing to work with Cooper and would try
to get the officer into a training school
On Tuesday night, the council held a
meeting with Cooper and the officer
agreed to the probationary period
