New officers installed at Chamber of Commerce luncheon
H eppner resident Bill
K uhn asked the H eppner City
Council last Monday to consider
w ays the city m ight help the
Heppner schools.
Because o f equalization,
H eppner will lose nine teachers
and Kuhn asked the council to
c o n s id e r s e v e r a l w a y s to
“mitigate the situation.”
“ T h e s c h o o l b o a rd
d o e s n ’t think the (H ep p n er)
com m unity is engaged,” Kuhn
told the council. “It’s like saying,
‘W e’re going to execute you, just
tell us how w e are going to do
it. ’” Kuhn is a member o f the site
council and a local attorney.
One suggestion was that
the city institute a sales tax to help
pay for local schools. " I t’s not
popular and m aybe not a good
idea,” Kuhn said. He asked if the
city w ould consider donating
w ater to the school and m aybe
city maintenance workers. “How
can the city get involved?” Kuhn
asked. “ If w e are going to help
o u rse lv e s, w e h av e to do it
ourselves.”
T h e c o u n c il to o k no
action on the requests, however,
the council’s mood seemed tepid.
“ I c a n ’t see a sales tax,” M ayor
Bob Jepsen said, “and I can’t see
maintenance.”
C ity M a n a g e r J e rry
B reazeale said that the schools
pay $8,348 per year in w ater
fees, w hich am ounts to about
eight percent o f the city w ater
income.
In other business, the
council heard from local resident
C al Sherm an w ho asked that if
the city doubles water rates as is
p la n n e d , th a t it s h o u ld also
consider raising the am ount o f
water each resident will get.
“ W ith th e new raise,
people should get m ore w ater,”
S herm an said. “People d o n ’t
w ater yards as m uch as they
used to. I think we should double
our water. O therw ise, you are
going to see less w atering o f
yards. If our water bills are going
to d o u b le , th e n d o u b le th e
amount o f water.”
The city is planning a $6
m illion upgrade to the w ater
sy stem . T he p ro je c t w ill be
funded with low-interest, long
term debt. To pay back the debt,
the city plans on raising w ater
rates.
Breazeale said that as a
part o f the loan agreem ent, the
city w o u ld have to p rac tic e
c o n se rv a tio n m ea su res. T he
more you use, the more you pay,
so it w ould m ost likely not be
possible to increase the am ount
o f w ater with the rate increase.
