'.'.1 T"7 TIP5 HEPPNER. OREGON If disposal service is charged Garbage fees could raise 50 A proposal to charge Hep pner Garbage Disposal Ser vice for use of the county dump will raise garbage col lection fees in the city by 50 percent, it was announced at Monday nht's city council meeting. Heppner Mayor Cliff Green, who owns and operates the disposal service, said the county intends to begin char ging him $3.75 a cubic yard beginning January 1 to use the county dump. Green said this amounts to about $50 per truckload or $13,000 per year. Previously there had been no charge. "I wasn't surprised they put a charge on that, but I was flabbergasted by the amount." said Green, who Garbage dumping discussed by, By MARY ANN CFRUI.LO A concern over people dumping their garbage on private property and at county parks was expressed by the Heppner Economic Develop ment Corjioration during a meeting with Morrow County Court last Wednesday. Seve ral suggestions were discus sed to encourage and improve use of the county landfill, located just north of Heppner. Upon inquiry. Commission er Irv Rauch explained that the landfill is required by the Department of Environmental Quality and at present, the county rents the property for $900 a year. Private indivi duals are charged $3 per pickup load for dumping in the landfill. According to Rauch, Hep 13 receive l - i i i Ione's graduating class listens as Dr. Wallace McCrae, State Board of Education member, delivers his address. E Weather by the City of went to the County Court last week to discuss the proposed charge. "As mayor I am con cerned." he said. Green said the large increase in collection fees he would have to pass on to customers would cause garbage to pile up in the city, and would increase the amount of garbage which would be dumped on county roads. The fee was imposed by the county budget committee in an effort to offset costs of operating the dump, says county Judge Don McElligott. McElligott said $25,489 is budgeted for operation of the dump in 1984, of which $6,500 is collected through fees from cities and individuals. Apparently some people in pner Garbage Disposal Ser vice, owned by Cliff Green, currently dumps at the landfill at no charge. "At this point he (Green) has it made..." said Judge Don McElligott, "He's dump ing at no charge and we (the county ) cover it (the garbage) at the county's expense." . The court informed the development corporation that the advisory committee for the landfill is currently dis cussing a charge for Green. Bob Abrams, Heppner at torney, and representing the development corp., suggested that the city automatically charge a garbage pick-up fee with individual's water bill. "I don't know if Cliff (Green) was talking as a mayor or a garbage collector, but he seemed to think it diplomas U j 1 DAHLA nocEn c sfmncrj High low Tues.. May 31 63 48 Wed., June 1 75 45 Thurs..

"The county is a big com munity," Green told the city council," and you cannot at tribute costs to each service. If you follow cost accounting to the end you will have to put toll booths on every county road." Green appointed a commit tee of the city council to study the proposal.

"I suggest you talk to the city council and put it up for a bid (a garbage disposal ser vice) and see what you come up with," said Commissioner Warren McCoy. The development corpora tion informed the court that they would like to attend the next advisory committee meeting for the landfill. The court agreed. On another topic, Jim Hayes, president of the devel opment corporation, told the court of some proposals to develop the land around the Willow Creek Dam, into a camping-picnic area with a ball field and a boat launch.
