tage would be that with
continued growth and infla
tion, the plan still might not
provide enough funds and the
voters still may have to go to
the polls for a small amount.
A third plan is to increase
the current proposed budget
by 18.3 percent to have
$4.331 .816 as the tax base. With
this plan, the voters might not
have to vote on the budget for
two years.
The other plan is the one
proposed at last month's
meeting that would allow an
18.3 percent increase each
year for the next three years
for a tax base of $6,073,542.
The voters would not have to
vote on the school budget for
at least three years and
possibly four or five.
Current law requires that
the school districts submit a
tax base proposal every even
numbered year if it is outside
the six percent limitation the
previous year.
The new tax base must be
decided on and given to the
county clerk by April 10 for it
to be on the May 20 ballot.
The school board approved
a weekend field trip for the
Heppner band to Seaside to
play some concerts. Director
Bruce Martin and the band
have had many fund-raising
events during the year to help
pay for the trip. The cost to the
district would be $250. John

Jim Bier of Heppner said
Martin could not request
money for the trip because he
was not here last year.
Heppner Grade School and
Junior High Principal Don
Cole told the board that the
heating system was not oper
ating because of steam leaks
in the line. Cole said the pipe is
five or six feet under the road
and was melting asphalt. The
pipes are 20 or more years old
and are deteriorating, he said.
"This is going to run into big
bucks," Doherty said. "We
are going to patch it up for
emergency repair because it
cannot heat the buildings."
The school board decided to
wait a month before making a
decision on a new bus that is
being purchased.
International Harvest is on
strike and the chassis for
$10,800 will probably not be in
the county in time for the start
of school next fall. The earliest
it can be here is November,
Doherty said.
But the district cannot
cancel its order for the $6,400
boa to the bus, he said.
"This is a bad way to buy
buses." Doherty said. "We
should start buying entire
buses instead of buying them
in two parts.
