City seeks input on proposed new city hall/library complex
The city o f Heppner is
considering asking residents how
they feel about the proposed
construction of a new $1.2
million city hall/library on Mam
Street.
According to Mayor Bob
Jepsen, the city may send a letter
to those living within the city
limits asking them whether they
agree with such a project and
how the project should be
funded.
Jepsen said that the city
hall portion o f the project would
be around $250,000. with the
remainder o f the cost to be
funded by the Oregon Trail
Library
District,
which
encompasses a larger area.
If the project were to
proceed, the city would borrow
$250,000 from USDA Rural
Development at a 4.75 percent
interest rate. The city would
repay the loan at $14,075 a year.
-In one scenario, the
loan would be repaid through a
general obligation bond at 44
cents per thousand assessed
valuation (with an assessed
valuation for the city of
$32,015,000). A city resident
with a $75,000 home would pay
$2.75 a month or $33 a year.
Someone with a $50,000 home
would pay $1.84 a month or $22
a year.
-In another scenario, the
loan would be repaid through
increases in residents' utility
bills. With 683 utility accounts in
the city, residents would pay
$1.72 a month or $21.61 a year
in increased utility bills.
Jepsen said that the
questionnaire may include other
city issues for residents’ input,
such as. "Should the city contract
with the Morrow County
Sheriffs Department for police
protection?" and "Should the
city's
water
system
be
overhauled?"

State, district testing results released
State benchmark results
for schools state-wide have been
released. Morrow County schools
have generally seen some
improvement
in
students'
benchmark scores in reading,

short of statewide averages.
"We have a highly
mobile population, especially in
the north end," commented

Assistant Superintendent Mike

"We have a lot of challenges."
Keown added that while
students may have not achieved
the benchmarks one year, they
may take the test the next year
and may eventually achieve their
goal. He added that the scores do
not track students from year to
year and teachers and students
change from year to year.
