City budget vote
Cont. from page 1
fund an after-hours dispatcher
for the city at the Sheriff's
Office. Also included in the
Police Budget increase is
$2,000 for equipment (car)
reserves. The Fire Depart
ment budget increased from
$5,574 to $9,528 for 79-80. Major
increases in that department
were for equipment, (truck)
reserves and partial funding
of the after-hours dispatcher.
Marginal increases less
than a thousand dollars each
were made in the Library and
Swimming Pool budgets.
Capital outlay, new meters
and increased personnel costs
bumped up the Water Depart
ment budget from $76,600 in
the current year to $84,089 for
79-80.
The Street Department bud
get was increased by more
than $14,000 to $52,300 for
79-80. Personnel, capital out
lays and equipment reserve
funds accounted for the in
crease. The city has earmark
ed $12,000 from the fund for
paving this year.
There's a new business in
town that's buzzing with
activity as spring weather
becomes warmer and plant
life begins to bloom.
John and Brenda Weygandt
(formerly Brenda Young)
started construction on a
building this week that will
house Willow Creek Honey
Farm, at 540 East Hager
Street in Heppner.
Raw honey, beeswax and
fruit tree pollination are
available from the new busi
ness at the present time with
about 75 working hives. After
construction of the building is
completed, Weygandt will in
stall processing equipment for
the honey and over the next
three years will expand to 600
hives of bees.
The raw honey is available
for 75-cpr.i.-! per pound at the
Weygandt residence on Hager
Street or by calling 676-50 57.
Flood plain rules
will be outlined
Cont. from page 1
cated that the city would
present voters with a bond
issue this summer in order to
finance the cost of replacing
the entire three-mile stretch of
water line without Corps
assistance.
Green noted that it was
important for the city to
continue to participate in the
federal flood insurance pro
gram, since a pullout from the
program would jeopardize the
city's receiving grant funds
from federal sources that
would be needed to defray the
cost of projects such as the
planned rennovation of Hep
pner's sewer plant.
Non-participation in the fed
eral flood insurance program
would also prevent Heppner
from receiving federal dis
aster aid in the event of a flood
or other natural catastrophe,
and cut off construction loans
from such agencies as the
department of Housing and
Urban Development, Econom
ic Development Administra
tion, Small Business Admin
istration, and Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare. Mortgage insurance
would no longer be available
through FHA, Veterans Ad
ministration and Farmers
Home Loan programs. Banks
would not be able to sell
mortgages on flood zone
property through the second
ary FNMA and GNMA mar
kets. When asked why a three
dam approach to answering
Heppner's flood problem was
not given more consideration,
Ron Barrett of the Corps of
Engineers answered that the
cost of such a project could not
be justified in terms of the
benefits to be received. In
fact, Barrett said, the prop
osed Willow Creek Dam may
not be justifiable in a cost-to-benefit
ratio. In order to be
meet Corps guidelines for
triggering a project, property
expected to be saved from a
100 year flood through build
ing the dam must be worth the
cost involved in building the
dam. Currently, the cost-to-
benefit ratio stands at only .7
to 1.
In order to construct the
dam, the Corps must receive
Congressional approval to
take the potential loss of
human life into account in
order to meet the cost-to-benefit
ratio.
"The project is on really
shaky ground," commented
Barrett. "A yes vote doesn't
mean you'll get it."
