HUNTINGTON — The Locomotives maintained a pre-
carious slim lead over the Midvale Rangers and went the
distance with two points to spare. 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.
