eppner budget failure forces council to cut 75 lights from city system
(Continued from piipf I)
up from $23.
An adult only swim will be
on Thursday nights from 7 to 9
for persons out of high school.
Scott McEwen will be the
pool manager this summer
with Carolyn Ploeharsky the
manager when McEwen is
gone as coach of the swim
team.
The city council adopted
some recommendations of the
city budget committee.
Since the city budget failed
in the March election, a
resolution was made to cut
street lighting in the town by
one-third. About 75 lights will
be cut. Street Commissioner
Joe Miller and City Police
Chief Dean Gilman will decide
on which ones will be shut off.
The city will save $3,000 a
year with the lighting cuts and
Columbia Basin Electric will
be notified by July 1 which
ones will be shut off. Lights
will be shut down in mid-block
areas leaving intersections
lighted.
"No matter where you cut
lights, people are not going to
like it." Chief Gilman said.
"People have asked me why
' can't we cut other areas?"
The council also decided to
follow the budget committee
recommendations to take bids
from auditing firms and raise
the water and sewer rates $1
each.
Heppner received three
sealed bids from local service
stations to supply gas for city
vehicles. Cal Sherman, Arco.
offered 10 cents a gallon
discount off the pump price.
Vern Wilson bid nine cents
under the pump price for the
76 station. Tom Troxel bid
$1.13 for regular and $1.14 for
unleaded for the apparent low
bid.
The council could not make
a decision so a committee was
formed to examine the bids
and decide by July 1.
Council decided to purchase
3M Copier insurance for the
amount of $295 a year. The
copier cost $695. The copier is
serviced from the
Tri-Cities area at a cost of $59
an hour. Service for the first
year was free. With the
maintenance agreement, the
company will continue to
service it for the price of the
insurance.
The city council discussed
the Carl Thorpe Well that has
been owned by the city.
Thorpe has offered to buy it
back for $4,000. The recent
Heppner Water Bond ballot
that passed will have money in
it to rejuvenate the well but
the council was split on
whether to fix it up or drill a
new one.
Councilman Warren Plo
charsky said he hates to
abandon the well and its line
because it cost more than
$75,000.
Councilman Frank Pearson
said he wants to get rid of the
well because it has sand in it,
which just causes trouble.
Chief Gilman and City Admin
istrator Marshall Lovgren
agreed.
Councilman Clifford Green
said he does not know why the
city bought it in the first place
because of all the sand.
"When we pump it heavy
during emergency use, we
have problems and that is
what the well is for ," Green
said
But the council decided to
wait until it gets a professional
opinion on whether the well
should be abandoned or not.
In other council announce
ments: -The city is going to sell a
stoplight that used to be
placed between the Heppner
Junior High and Grade School
instead of the stop sign
currently used. The stoplight
