Court discusses squirrel's listing as endangered
By Doris Brosnan
Public Works Director Guy
Van Arsdale submitted an
approach permit for a property
owner. After discussion of some
concerns, allayed by information
from Van Arsdale, the court
approved the permit. The director
reported the finishing up of
culverts on Social Ridge Road,
work on the edges of Washington
Street in Imgon, and placement
of most of the signs in the Irrigon
area. During a discussion of
numbering on Tower Road, the
court noted the need to consult
county counsel Bill Hanlon about
ownership of that road. Van
Arsdale again talked to the court
about
helping
subdivision
property owners set up local
improvement
districts
or
homeowners associations.
The court held a public hearing
on a petition to vacate an
easement,
at
which
four
individuals appeared. A map of
the area was studied and
testimony heard. The property
owner noted that he no longer
has plans to subdivide the
property, plans that had been the
purpose of the easement. Other
brief testimony was offered,
county counsel commented on
the language in the dedication,
and county assessor Greg Sweek
noted concern over the granting
of vaguely worded easements.
The hearing closed, and the court
then approved the vacation of the
south easement in partition plat
1999-3.
The court approved purchase of
a swamp cooler for Fair and
Rodeo. They discussed an
individual's request to purchase a
lot presently used by the public
works department and delayed
action until after Van Arsdale
assesses that use. With county
counsel, the court discussed a
contract with the consultant who
will put together the Morrow-
Baker partnership.
Planning director Tamra
Mabbott addressed the court
further about the status of the
impact aid issue, of which she
has spoken several times with
Senator Wyden's admin>sfrati,v«
assistant. < She reported' that
county:Counsel has a draft of an
understanding between Umatilla
and Morrow counties, to join
strategies in further pursuing
impact aid.
Mabbott suggested inviting the
attorney with whom they have
been working to speak to both
counties.
Some
discussion
focused on funds established for
this purpose and Umatilla’s role
in financial responsibilities.
Further discussion considered
some options, strategies, and
outcome possibilities in the
counties' pursuit of impact aid.
Both Judge Tallman and
Commissioner Brosnan reported
hopeful interpretations of the
recent meetings with the Army
and with the editors of the East
Oregonian.
Boardman city manager Rex
Mathers and building inspector
Brett Cook addressed the court
about the county building permit
program. Changing from the
state to a contract with the city of
Boardman on July 1 seems on
track, if a public hearing is held
and if no action is taken to stop
it. When questioned about an
opinion on this matter from the
state attorney general. Cook
