School levies will go to voters August 12
I_______________
The M orrow County School
Board Monday night voted to adopt
the 1986 87 school budget and to try
to tund it with a $5,140,643 one
year special levy and a $473,786
three year serial levy to go before
voters August 12.
Hoard action followed discussion
and
S uperintendent
D oyle
McCaslin's advice that they accept
the recommendations from the June
4 budget committee meeting " I must
emphasize again that this business of
going tor a special levy and a venal
levy is a first for this d istrict.”
McCaslin said Although it w ill be
very difficult to pass both levies, the
budget is squeezed about as tight as
it can be
‘ ' We need to be committed. ‘ ' he
told the Hoard "Once we go out for
birth levies, we can't very handily
back away from that
We most
continue to try to get the money as
best we are able or say.'no. we're
only going for a special levy.' and
then cut more from the budget
However. I don't believe there is any
gtaaj way to cut more from the serial
levy without seriously impacting
programs and seriously impacting
personnel
Some areas of the budget, he said
were hit cstra bard, and recommend
ed that administrators be ready later
on to recommend adding replace
ment o f three heat pumps costing a
total o f $22.000 at Heppner High
School, repair of shower room floors
at Heppner and lone back into the
budget if it should be possible to find
additional funds
The Board also decided to use
district personnel to put in a sloped
hill which would support the crumbl
ing retaining wall along the tennis
courts at Heppner elementary
school Total cost to the district for
the fill would be about $5.075 and
if the h ill were later determined un
satisfactory, could be removed The
Board acted after hearing estimates
o f $18.832 and $22.112 obtained
from two different construction com
panies for replacement o f the retain
ing wall
McCaslin told the Board that
some playground space w ill be lost
with the h ill, but that it would not he
