Kyler Ethan Burg Kyler Ethan Borg - Kendall and Aubry Borg of Burleson, TX announce the birth o f their son, Kyler, on June 1, 2008. He is the grandson o f Jeffery and Deena Borg o f Burleson, TX and Joe and Sarah Struthers o f Clovis, NM. He is the first great-grandson o f Edna Struthers Wilson o f Hermiston and Carl and Geri Martin o f Hep pner. He joins a sister, Kacelynn, at home. Engagement announced for Childers, Jones The City o f Board- man is one step closer to a new Urban Renewal Dis trict. Councilors voted Tues day night to approve the first reading o f two ordinances which form the district. The c ity ’s consul tant, JefTTashman o f Tash- man, Johnson, LLC said the Boardman Urban Renewal boundary encompasses ap proximately 164 acres in the area to the south of Interstate 84 and on both sides o f South Main Street, or about 6.4% o f the city’s total size. He said the city chose a con servative approach to form ing the district since the state allows up to 25% o f a city’s size to be designated for Ur ban Renewal Districts. The main objective in the Board- man Urban Renewal area is to provide infrastructure improvements to facilitate development. Urban Renewal Dis tricts allow for the use o f tax increment financing, the amount o f property taxes generated by the increase in total assessed values in the Urban Renewal Area from the time it is first es tablished, to pay for Urban Renewal projects. A draft o f the Boardman Urban Re newal Plan and a boundary map are available online at the city’s website on the city council page. The second reading and passage of the ordinances are expected at the August 19 city council meeting. In other city news, LaVem Gertlar was appoint ed to the city council to fill the vacancy left by Pamela Docken, with a term ending December 31, 2010. Coun cilors heard a presentation by Public Works Director Dave Winters regarding the city’s sewer capacity.
