S IX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 28,1999 County court report By Doris Brosnan The Morrow County Court met July 21. The court approved the purchase of enhanced 911 consoles for the Sheriffs Department. Assistant Road Master Burke O'Bnen reported to the court that patching has been finished; one bridge on Big Butter Creek was resurfaced; the approach to the Pine City Bridge was repaired; the Basey Canyon, Clarks Canyon, Bunker Hill, McNab, Gooseberry, Dry Fork and Valby Roads and the Rhea Creek Road from Ruggs to the bottom of Sanford Canyon have been patched; work has again started on Patterson Ferry Road, and trees are being cleaned off Second Street; traffic counters have been placed on Washington Street; and they are preparing to do some reciprocal paint work with Umatilla County. The court discussed limited resources, importance of farm-to-market roads, higher traffic numbers in the north end of the county and the status of the Clarks Canyon quarry. The court discussed routine maintenance of vehicles and the fact that responsibility for such lies with the departments to which the vehicles are assigned. The court approved the "Order Designating a Newspaper of Record" for publishing the 1999 foreclosure list, naming the Heppner Gazette Times as the paper of record. The court reviewed and approved proposed changes to Personnel Policies, Section 7.5 and Section 8.1. Country Counsel Bill Hanlon reported that the BOLI has determined that the Wilkinson Arena is to be treated as one project and has requested information on the use of volunteers and the notices of awards for contracts. Marc Rogelstad, representing the Boardman Fire District, reported complaints from several people east of the fire district. They have reported not being able to get financing outside the district and having insurance canceled. Rogelstad said that he is working on an annexation into their district, but he sees the problem as countywide. Dis cussion ensued about how best to approach the issue of unprotected areas in the county, and general agreement was to have the present districts' personnel meet jointly, as a first step. The court approved help with the installation of the donated new doors for the Courthouse. The doors have been ordered by the Heppner High School Class o f '56. The court approved two replacements on the Mental Health Advisory Board: Sandra Blair to replace Cheryle Rietmann in Position #5, and Rhonda Truman to replace Carol Ford in Position #6. Planning Director Tamra Mabbott presented the latest changes to the Ione-Boardman Road Agreement. Commis sioners Dan Brosnan and John Wenholz voiced concerns over some of the proposed language, and County Counsel Hanlon WC Symphony plans fall season The Willow Creek Symphony is currently making plans for its fall season under artistic leaders R. Lee Friese of Athena and Tony Marks of LaGrande. Rehearsals will be held on Friday evenings from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Heppner Jr. High bandroom, starting Sept. 10.

A spring concert in March and a summer concert in August are also being scheduled. The Willow Creek Symphony is composed of youth and adults. It is currently in need of additional musicians.

Mabbott agreed to set up a conference call with PGE and Boeing. Mabbott presented copies of the article, "A Case for Impact Aid” for the court's signatures and reported the Umatilla County Court's agreement with the principle of the article. Mabbott further reported that the Morrow County School District is requesting an extension of the City of Imgon's Urban Growth Boundary to include property for a future school building. In response to their inquiry, the court heard from one financial institution what its interest rate would be on a loan for purchase of the Docken Building.
