The Locos won 73-71 here in high school basketball action Friday night. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald December 13, 1994 Two Baker City residents concerned that the proposed Leo Adler Memorial Parkway could mean more vandalism and other crime and less privacy were among the 60 or so people who spoke at a meeting Monday night in the Baker High School Commons. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald December 14, 2009 Huntington business owners and school and city offi - cials worry that temporary layoffs of 68 workers sched- uled this afternoon at the Ash Grove cement plant could become permanent under tightening of mercury emission rules. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald December 14, 2018 Baker City’s revenue from its ambulance service has rebounded from the one-year dip that city offi cials cited as partial justifi cation for the $3 per household monthly public safety fee imposed starting July 1, 2017. That fee, approved by the City Council, remains in ef- fect. The fee, which is $6 per month for businesses, raises about $180,000 per year for the city’s general fund, which includes the fi re and police departments. City offi cials said during the spring of 2017 that the pub- lic safety fee was necessary to prevent the possible layoffs of two employees in the police department and two in the fi re department. Ambulance revenue, which totaled about $789,000 for the fi scal year that ended June 30, 2018, equates to about 44 percent of the fi re department’s annual budget of about $1.8 million. City Manager Fred Warner Jr. said that although ambu- lance revenues have improved since the one-year decline, he doesn’t intend to propose that the City Council either reduce or eliminate the fee.
