WWwnw" - -- Boardman Asks By Mary Lee Marlow Jim Thompson of the Pendle ton office of the East Central Oregon Association of Counties met with the Boardman city council Tuesday night of last week to ask its approval of the boundaries for the two areas that would be studied on future economic growth under an Economic Development Ad ministration grant. The council did not approve of the boundary which had been approved at Umatilla by its city council on Monday night which would include Boardman and east on the north side of Interstate 80 North to east of Hermiston. The Boardman group wants the Boeing 100.000 acre industrial and agricultural park and the 50,000 acre Navy Bombing Range included in its study area. Both are south of Interstate 80 North. All the councilmen went along with the statement of one that said "this is where the action will be." In the area of government councilmen registered protests over the Joint Ways and Means Committee making inroads to take revenues from municipal ities such as Boardman. The council is protesting via letter to its representatives and Tuesday night endorsed a letter declaring the state legislators are violating the spirit and intent of the Federal Revenue Sharing Act in taking revenues from municipalities. Boardman's City Hall has become such a busy place with the influx of new residents and an expanded economy in the area calling on the city for more services that it may become necessary to hold two meetings a month instead of one. It was agreed by the council that due to the stepped-up tempo the city administration will be request ing the Port of Morrow to move its office out of the city office building.
