"Y o u ca n 't negotiate these items because the in surance companies and the federal government set these costs," said Boldt “ What we discovered is that they have taken our agreement and applied it to these fixe d costs and benefits, and that’s decep tive.” Well said that in the last six years the teachers went from a salary schedule e q u iv a le n t w ith o th e r d is tric ts in Clackamas County, "to being on the very bottom " "Out of 20 school districts (in the county) Welches ranks 20th in salaries." said Well He said that a beginning teacher w ould receive 112,450 a year at Welches as compared to $14,202 if they were in the Sandy A rt gallery to re-open E le m e n ta ry S chool District. Teachers with the most education and the most classroom experience, said Well, are even in a worse position based on the ex isting salary schedule at Welches Well said that they have had ten meetings with the district's two negotiators. Leah Behan and Dick Hoff man. At the first session, ac cording to Well, Hoffman said the WEA’s proposal for a 6 percent cost of living increase, rather than the actual 89 percent, was "rig h t in the ballpark " Nine negotiating periods later, Well said that the WEA realized there were problems and asked to meet with all the board The Grand Re-Opening of the W y’ E a st A rtis a n s Gallery w ill be May 7,8 and 9 from 11 a m till 5 p m The G a lle ry is now located in Wemme next to Log Home Supply on Highway 26.

A variety of works by a Smith said that she had number of local artists w ill questions concerning the be on display. county's instructions since the planning staff is aware of what the LCDC means in terms of (non ) expansion. She said that she feels the CPO does not have the authority to ignore what LCDC mandated last fall. " I don’t have anything against the county but I do think they tend to head you off in the wrong direction," said Smith SNOW WHITE Smith said that there is some legal action being taken by the Environmen tal Committee On Suitabili ty in connection with the Cedar Ridge area, and that the boundary commission should not make any deci sions on this area until the court has resolved the pro blems. Neil Sullivan of Welches said that he feels more facts are needed before a decision can be made and advised that a committee be set up to study both the pros and cons. S u lliv a n sa id th a t because the service district is non—contiguous some property owners along the Brightwood Loop Road were left on an island He said despite the fact that as many as three lines pass through some of these parcels of land, they can’t be served because they are out of the district's boun daries. "Any decision now is premature since we don't know all the facts," said S u lliv a n . “ I t 's our credibility up here that I ’m concerned about and we S e w e r___ AT FRIENDLY THRIFTWAY!

Bob Dorman of Welches said that he feels the CPO would be making a mistake by not acting on the Thur man's request since such decisions are the purpose of the organization. The members voted to table further discussion on the annexation request un t i l the n e xt m o n th ly meeting, when additional in fo rm a tio n c o u ld be presented S u lliv a n and D ave Lythgo were appointed to study the proposal and report their findings at the next meeting. The second issue concer ning the service district dealt with the extrater rito r ia l extension of a sewer line outside the area designated to be served by the new treatment facility. The proposed extension would allow the Timberline Rim subdivision and the still-undeveloped Cedar Ridge area to be serviced by the new sewage treat ment facility. The Portland Metropolitan Area Boun dary Commission is to act upon the m atter May 6. Penny Wilburn of Zigzag said that the CPO shouldn't approve the expansion since it would accom modate increased develop ment, "which all the tax payers w ill have to pay for in the end." N ancy S p encer of Brightwood disagreed with Wilburn and said that the developers and the proper ty owners to be serviced w ill be paying the entire b ill Wilburn said that expan sion for the sake of more deve lop m e n t does not make sense since the ex isting developments on the mountain are all having difficulties as property is not selling " I f you can’t ‘max out’ on these e x is tin g developments now," said Wilburn, "you shouldn't ex pand." Wilburn said the loca tions proposed for the pipes go right by houses in the Wildwood area that won’t be hooked up to the sewer, where they are needed most Smith agreed and said that the expansion does not take into account the needs of the community "when the line goes directly past houses whose occupants a re d r in k in g th e ir neighbor's septic."
