SIX-The Heppner Gaiette-Times, Heppner. Oregon, Thursday, October 18, 1979 Irrigon news Frunci Rose Wilson 9223352 Seu-er facility study under way The Irrigon City Council session was chaired by Pro Tern Mayor Bill Cooley on Oct. 9, since Mayor Vernon Stew art was out of town. Benny Reeves was also absent and the vacancy created by the resignation of Councilman Warren Prouty a month ago has not been filled. The main topic of business was presented by Tom Clark of Vitro Engineering who is doing the sewer facility study and related consultation work. He presented data covering lands suggested for location of sewage treatment facilities. One of the sites is federally owned and was recently declared surplus by the gov ernment. It lies at Washington Avenue and 4th Street West. Action was taken by the council to make application to acquire that portion of the property lying east of 4th Street West. The two sites were dis cussed at length and date was set for a public hearing on . proposals related to the faci lity plan. This hearing will be held Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the A.C. Houghton School Auditorium. Signing of an engineering agreement between the city and Vitro Engineering for incidental engineering work was tabled. Clark also presented the metter of population projec tion for the city, which he said could have a bearing on grants available to the city. Some of the environmental agencies question the reality of the city's projected popula tion of 1,970 by the year 2000. At the time the projection was made the population was 470, which would call for an increase of approximately 400 percent. The Morrow County popula tion projection at the time was 5,100 for 1980 and 6,600 for the year 2000, for a county increase projection of 1,500. If correct this would put the county's increase in the Irri gon area. These projection figures are a part of the city's comprehen sive plan which was prepared by East Central Oregon Asso ciation of Counties and ap proved by the State Land Conservation and Develop ment Commission. Until the agencies involved can come to agreement on projection figures, progress will be delayed, Clark said, as it will make a tremendous difference not only for engi neering services but cost of construction whether a 30 percent increase is anticipa ted or 400 percent. The matter of a court clerk was discussed. Municipal Judge Dianne Brownlee said 20 to 30 hours monthly would be involved. She said the work cannot he adequately per formed by her while sitting in judgement. The city recorder, Barbara Draxton, was ap pointed to perform the duties of court clerk, with the provision that she report to the council when , the work con flicts with city business so re-t . -i-'uation can be made.
