Irrigon petition for primary ballot to seek election of mayor f
Hv Frances Rose Wilson
A proposal that Irrigon's
mayor be elected by the
people is contained in a
pending charter amendment
lhat may be placed on the
ballot in May.
A letter of intent directed to
Irrigon 'residents was posted
in business places and is being
circulated by former mayor
Chester Wilson, for the ques
tion to be placed before the
voters in the primary election.
According to Wilson, the
informational letter is de
signed to alert Irrigon resi
dents that petitions will be
circulated and placed in
businesses for signatures to
present to the council in the
February meeting.
The charter change pro
posed is that the mayor be'
elected at the general election
to serve in the office for a
four-year term.
The charter presently pro
vides that the counil elect a
mayor in January each year
for the following year from
among its members.
It also provides that "he be
elected by a majority vote of
the entire council" which,
according to Wilson has for
the early years of charter rule
been interpreted to mean that
the entire council was
required to be present at this
mavoral election.
Wilson admitted the possibi
lity of this mayoral election
being delayed to a later month
because of absenteeism, as
actually has happened, but
feels it has created no problem
in that the mayor in office did
not relinquish his authority
until his successor was elected
and qualified.
This policy has allowed each
council member to know
personally what has occurred
and have his ballot counted
toward the new mayor. It also
has eliminated any possibility,
he said, of an absentee
member being railroaded into
an office he neither wanted
nor had sufficient time to
adquately perform.
Wilson believes that a candi
date selected by a public
ballot for the office of mavor
would have a greater interest
in the dutues than a person
chosen from the council mem
bership. A mayor elected by
the public would have a
four-year span to institute an
administrative program.
Having been a councilman
during the formative years of
the city, Wilson has served as
mayor and feels that the
charter was adequate but
that a change at this time will
enrroct a situation that has
become an annual dilemma
for the council.
Also being considered for
inclusion in the petition is the
number required for a quor
um. The number now is three
and by increasing the govern
ing body to seven (instead of
six), it is proposed that the
requirement for a quorum be
changed to four.

Tammy Rock of Irrigon was
wilh a class of 20 geology
students from Whitworth Coll
ege. Spokane, who were tour
ing Hawaii when the recent
storm hit the Islands.
The students were touring in
a van when the high winds and
rain struck. At times they had
to drive through two feet of
water with trees falling all
around them. When Tammy
called her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Cecil Rock, she told them
it was quite a frightening
experience:
The class left Spokane Jan. 3
and will return Feb. 3.
The color film "The Gali
lean" will be shown at the
Irrigon Assembly of God Jan.
21 at 7 p.m. The film was made
in the Holy Land. Pastor Allen
Gordanier extends a welcome
to the community.
