are required to participate in
clinics that cover proper ani
mal health, nutrition, selec
tion, production records, and

best quality, selected for
their quiet dispositions and
performance potential.
At the end o f each
project year, members will

Futurity Heifer for use in
their own herd. Each year,

Boardman reviews water/sewer
rate study
Boardman City Councilors reviewed a water/sewer
rate study at their regular meeting Tuesday night. The study
was prepared by City engineers Anderson Perry and was
presented to the Council at their August 21st, meeting.
The City anticipates they will need to generate increased
reserves funds, for repairs to the existing water/sewer
systems and for future infrastructure needs.
The goal o f the study is to create a tool for the
Council to use in making an informed decision about how
to restructure the water and sewer rates. After reviewing
the study Tuesday, Councilors deferred any decision about
rates until after they have had a chance to confer with the
local water board made up o f City and Port officials and
Port customers.
In other City news, Jill Pambrun was sworn in as
Boardman’s newest City Councilor. She fills a vacancy left
last month by Lu Ann Huffman. Her term ends December
31, 2008. The next regularly scheduled meeting o f the
Boardman City Council is Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at
7pm at Boardman City Hall.
