The new contract would cost Redland taxpayers $80,000 less than last year’s contract with Sandy The agreement must now be approved by the Redland and Sandy High district boards. Redland’s board met last night. Under the new agreement, Redland w ill pay Sandy $2346 per student, compared to “ an amount not to exceed $2475 per student’’ last year’s contract called for. In addition, Redland w ill no longer have to pay for a OREGON CITY - Citizens in Damascus, Boring, Rock Creek and the Mt. Hood corridor can learn about zoning changes being con sidered in those areas at a p u b lic meeting w ith Clackamas County planners Tuesday, Aug. 15. The session begins at 7:30 p.m. at the county’s public works complex at 902 Abernathy Road in Oregon City. The session w ill also cover new zoning for areas covered by the recently adopted rural c o m p re h e n s iv e p la n a m e n d m e n t, in c lu d in g C arver, Redland, Viola, Logan, Estacada and Sandy. Planning Commission Chairman Rich Ares w ill suggest how citizens can be most effective in presenting their views to the com mission. Comprehensive plan set 4 Redland School Board members face recall move REDLAND — Four members of the Redland School Board are targets of a recall drive being organized by a group of disgruntled parents. Clackamas County elections officers Monday approved the form of the petition, giving the group, which calls itself “ Recall,” the go-ahead to collect signatures. Named in the recall drive are board chairman K irk Braun and members Diana Freisem, James Anderson and Donna Robinson. Each of the four recall petitions must be signed by 200 registered voters in the Redland district. Petition deadline is Nov. 2. A recall election w ill be held within 25 days of the date petitions are turned in to the county elections office. The prelim inary petition charges that the four have “ failed to exercise good judgment and prudence in the per formance of their duties” and have taken “ irresponsible and thoughtless actions which have caused heart-ache and distress to students and parents" in the district. The source of the recall drive appears to be the longstanding controversy in the Redland district over whether to build a local high school for its 200 high school students. The trouble began when voters in the Redland district voted to separate from the Estacada district in 1973, Since that time, Redland students have attended other high schools, most recently Sandy High, which w ill not accept Redland students after the 1978- 79 school year. Supporters of a Redland high school have placed several bond issues on the ballot in recent years. A ll have failed. Ironically, the four board members who are the targets of this recall drive replaced four pro-high school members who were themselves recalled in March 1977. “ I find it difficult to believe people would recall us when we’ve reduced the tax levy in the district to the lowest i t ’s been in three years,” Braun said, ‘I don’t know that they can call US irresponsible.” New Clackamas County finance director is named OREGON CITY — Robert Green, director of finance for Daly City, Calif., w ill take over Aug 21 as Clackamas County finance director. County commissioners last week chose the 58-year-old Green to replace county auditor John Carlson, who left the job in December 1977. As finance director, Green w ill be prim arily responsible for the county’s bookkeeping In addition, he w ill assume responsibility for the data processing section. A ll bookkeeping in the county government w ill come under Green’s command Currently, the Human Resources and Environmental Services departments have seaprate finance offices. Commissioner Robert Schumacher said Green w ill probably try to com puterize more of the county’s bookkeeping. “ A lot of it has been by hand,” he said. “ The finance directors we've had were either anti-data processing or didn't spend a lot of time with it.” Schumacher viewed the hiring of Green as a step in the reorganization of county government. “ We may try and combine other general service duties with his job,” he said. County staff in spring proposed creating a general services director position to supervise all county ad ministrative offices, which would be placed in a single department. Budget cuts in May and June wiped out that proposal. Schumacher felt the new finance director might eventually become that director of general services. “ Ten or eleven departments are answerable directly to the com missioners,” he said. It takes a lot of our time to run these It makes more sense to put those departments under a separate head ” Schumacher cautioned that Green w ill take on additional duties “ only after he gets his feet on the ground. ’’ Besides Daly City, Green has served as finance director for the cities of Laguna Beach and Burbank, both in California. He was assistant managing director of the Shahpur Chemical Co. in Tehran, Iran, and was international controller for Tidewater Oil Co. in Los Angeles He is past chairman of the National Council on Governmental Accounting The new policies allow for rural lots of two, five or 10 acres instead of the past five- acre requirement and in clude a “ hom estead" minimum 200 students. The tuition charge instead w ill be figured on the average daily attendance of Redland students at Sandy High K irk Braun, Redland school board chairm an, estim ated last y e a r’s average daily enrollment at 188, and expected this year’s enrollment to average about 175. One other provision of the agreement gives students who attend Sandy High this year the option of finishing out their schooling at Sandy Braun felt the $2346 tuition figure was “ still a hundred dollars high,’’ but that the agreement was probably the best Redland could get this close to the beginning of the school year. Meeting will air zoning changes 4-H’er Chris Burks shows a county fair craft exhibit policies and definitions for a ll lands designated agriculture, forest, rural and rural centers, as well as amend the Plan map for 343 square miles. Actual ap plication of the new poilicies and land use designations w ill require rezoning and some m odification of existing ordinances, ac cording to Department of E n viro nm e nta l Services Corrdinator Ardis Stevenson. J provision which allows retention of a home site while transferring the remaining property as long as the transfer is consistent with agricultural or forest policies and overall density. Other changes w ill allow c lu s t e r e d r e s id e n t ia l development with smaller lots in agriculture, forest and rural areas as long as overall density remains the same. Homes on smaller lots w ill be permitted in forest areas if they do not interfere with timber production. About 59 square miles of rural lands are designated in the 343 square miles covered by amendments to the Comprehensive Plan map while 12 square miles of urban and suburban land are elim inated. A g ric u ltu ra l lands are increased from 59,000 to 65,000 acres. There is an increase of 12,000 acres of forest lands. The map also labels some specific in dustrial and commercial areas. Copies of the plan Procedures and goals of the Land Conservation and Development Commission were used by the county in amending its plan. The county is working under a September deadline to recommend a boundary future urban growth to the Columbia Region Assoc iation of Governments Rural zoning under the plan amendment should be completed soon after Jan. 1, 1979, while zoning in the Damascus, Boring, Rock Creek and Mt. Hood areas should be worked out within a year, said Ardis Stevenson, citizen involvment coor dinator. “The Aug. 15 meeting w ill give people a look at what kinds of decisions are ex pected in the various area — and when,” Stevenson said. A third session is planned for September to review urban needs for housing, transportation, commercial and industrial development. Dr. Robert D. Schouten Optometrist The plan changes were preceded by more than 13 c it iz e n in f o r m a t io n m eetings, fiv e planning commission public hearings and six meetings by the County Commissioners.

Thus began an epic adventure. College catalog reflects budget Evidence of the recent Mt. Hood Community College budget levy failure was found in local mailboxes this week in the form of the college course guide. W ith the levy fa ilu re requiring an overall 20 percent reduction in college services, several planned fall courses were removed from the curriculum. The college cut its staff by the equivalent of 102 full-time positions, including teachers, classified personnel and a d m in istra to rs. F u rth e r reductions were made in counseling, library, com m unity education, plant maintenance, student ac tiv itie s , admissions and records, and public in formation. Nearly 200 class sections were crossed off the Mt. Hood district fall schedule. The heaviest hit departments were adult continuing education and business education which lost 20 and 18 sections respectively. The entire four-course trans portation and distribution section was dropped from the business education division. Fifteen sections were removed from the science schedule Visual arts lost 12 and performing arts 11. The mathematics program w ill be m inus io sections, automotive lost six and five of the 16 speech sections were taken out of the schedule However, the college still w ill offer basically the same c u rric u lu m as before. Changed w ill be the number of times during the day or week that a particular course is offered. Two basic auto tune-up classes were cut from the automotive department but two still remain. Business administration lost just one of its six introduction to business sections. Three basic piano sections were cut from the performing arts section but nine others still w ill be offered. And the speech program lost only two of its 12 fundamentals of speech classes Ninety-seven sections were dropped from the Mt. Hood evening program . The Monday, Wednesday and Thursday programs each lost 26 sections while 17 were dropped from Tuesdays program and one each from the Friday and Saturday programs, The Mt. Hood extension services centers also felt the effects of the budget failure. The centers were established to serve citizens who wish to take college cred it, vocational, or adult education classes in the evenings at convenient locations. Eight courses were taken from the Reynolds High School offering, six from Gresham High School and five from Centennial a n n w r r rresenh A I B. r l t K C E FHm .LEE MAJORS. THE NORSEMAN CORNEL W .
