Court discusses CSEPP project
By Doris Brosnan
At the Morrow County Court
meeting on Aug. 22, Emergency
Management director Casey Beard
discussed the CSEPP 450 MHZ
Radio Project with the court because
the ESD has announced that they
will not, after all, administer that
project. Discussed were the state's
responsibility, the impacts including
expenses - on Umatilla County or
on Morrow County if either took
on those administrative duties, the
estimate of those duties being full
time for six months. Beard suggested
a regional communications authonty
because the project does cross county
lines. The court agreed that
Commissioner John Wenholz and
county counsel Bill Hanlon would
report to the oveming board that
Morrow County has inadequate staff
to take on this additional project.
Morrow County Distnct Attorney
David Allen discussed the law library
with the commissioners, volunteering
to assume that administrative
responsibility. He described an on
line legal-case search service, which
might be used to complement the
hard-bound library volumes. This
led to a discussion of a public-view
computer for this and other county
purposes. The court agreed to transfer
responsibility for the law library to
the district attorney's office and to
draft a resolution establishing a law
library fee.
Hanlon reported on the draft
agreement with the Port of Morrow
for services o f an economic
development coordinator and the
court suggested some additions and
changes. He also presented the draft
contract for the Baker-Morrow
Regional Partnership Grant Award
to be used for funding the county's
economic development coordinator
position for one year, and the court
noted some details to be resolved.
County Extension agent Bill
Broderick reported to the court on
the fair attendance and the 4-H
auction. He added his appreciation
of the county staff who prepared
the facilities.
Public Works director Burke
O'Brien reported that the crew was
completing patching projects on the
lone-Boardman and Juniper Canyon
Roads and beginning on Depot Lane.

They provided a water truck and
straw removal during the fair. The
Valby project completion date will
be late October or early November.
O'Brien said that they continue
to monitor the fire situation, that
the State Forestry was renting
Cutsforth Park facilities, and that
the county, in cooperation with the
USFS, closed Road 2104.
O'Brien discussed the ownership
of the 4-H building at Cutsforth Park,
which is used for the 4-H camps and
a few other times a year and is
needing some maintenance work.
Hanlon and administrative assistant
Andrea Denton agreed to look into
the issue.
Another question O'Brien
presented the court addressed the
Imgon Public Works Department
shop, little used by the county but
of interest to the City of Imgon. The
court agreed that O'Brien more fully
explore the possibility o f a lease
arrangement with the City of Imgon.
O'Brien recommended that the
court transfer junsdiction of Road
971, Columbia Avenue, to the City
of Boardman. The Court agreed to
initiate the process for a heanng on
the issue, and set it for September
19 in Boardman.
O'Brien also informed the court
that he awaits a deed from Nature
Conservancy for the property
necessary to the straightening out
of Juniper Canyon Road. The designs
have been completed. O'Brien's office
is working on a small claims filing
in regards to the farm-equipment
damages to a county road, previously
reported several months ago.
Other actions of the court:
- approval of sharing the purchase,
at a discount of some concrete forms
with the Port o f Morrow;
- approval o f approach permits
in the Sonshine Subdivision;
- approval of a letter of support
for an Oregon Heritage Grant
application for the Heritage Trail;
- approval of an agreement with
the State Aeronautics Board;
- approval of an agreement with
the ESD for maintenance of the
county telephone system;
- approval of a service contract
with SAVNS for the Morrow County
Sheriffs Department.
