Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 12, 1992 - FIVE
$400,000 capital bond issue to come before Heppner city voters in June
The Heppner City Council ap
proved a IO-year plan unveiled by
city administrator Gary Marks at
the city council meeting Monday
evening and authorized him to
proceed with a city bond measure
for the June 30 special election.
The two-part plan includes a
$400 thousand capital improve
ment bond over the next 10 years.
The bond would include an addi
tion to the fire hall, vehicles for
police, fire and administrative
purposes and various equipment.
Part two of the plan is a public
works plan which would involve
streamlining and updating the city
public works fleet. This plan
would involve sales of various
vehicles and in some instances
purchase of replacement vehicles.
Marks said that the public works
portion of the 10-year plan would
not involve increases in taxes or
user fees. Public works projects
are funded through user fees.
grants and other governmental
agencies, he said.
The $400 thousand levy would
cost the taxpayer $2.42 per thou
sand assessed valuation. Cost to
a taxpayer with a $40,000 home
would be $96.81 a year. Marks
says that the total cost to a tax
payer with a $40,000 home for all
city taxes is now $340.80 a year.
The proposed increase would
bring up the cost to $437.60,
which is less than the pre-Ballot
Measure 5 total city taxes of
$493.60 a year.
Marks said that his plan will
“ ensure” the efficient use of ci
ty dollars and “ ensure” that the
city has adequate equipment to
perform necessary duties” such
as fire and police protection. He
also said that his long range plan
will ensure that funds are set aside
for needed expenditures in years
to come. “ We’ve been realistic,”
he said. “ We’ve done some plan-

Wranglers Club {;
plans meeting
The Wranglers Riding club has
planned a meeting for Wed.,
March 18 at 7 p.m. at Kate’s Piz
za in Heppner.
The agenda will include discus
sion on splitting age groups and
dates and times of April playdays.

to attend.
ning so we don’t get into bad
situations. We want to be accoun
table. Physical equipment does
wear out.
“ The city has never had a plan
like this,” continued Marks.
“ Before it operated from one
year to the next. If you plan, you
get better results for your
finances.”
He said that the long range plan
will restore the city’s ability to
address capital needs in the after-
math of Ballot Measure 5. Reduc
tion in city funds has eliminated
monies for capital improvement.
Marks said that 83 percent of
the bond measure is committed to
the fire department with about
two thirds of that amount going
for a new pumper and equipment.
The balance of the fire funds, he
said will go toward the demoli
tion of the western section of the
fire hall, which Marks said is
close to condemnation, and con
struction of an additional bay to
house a new fire truck and a
multipurpose meeting room. Fire
department officials say that the
current pumper is obsolete and
does not meet state standards.
The meeting room maybe used
for fire meetings and as an
overflow council meeting facility.
The new pumper truck is
scheduled for purchase this year,
at $165,000 and construction of
the fire hall is planned for 1993
at $100,000. Other vehicles and
equipment will be purchased over
the next 10 years for a combined
cost of $342,563, which includes
a five percent cost buffer.
Fifteen percent of the measure
will go toward vehicles and
equipment for the police depart
ment. The plan includes reduction
of police squad cars from two to
one and purchase of a multi-
departmental car which would be
used by all departments, in
cluding by the police as a back
up car. Cost for the $15,000
m ulti-departm ental vehicle
scheduled for purchase in 1999
would be shared equally by all
three departments, police, fire
