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.
The next regularly
scheduled m eeting o f the
Boardman City Council will
be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
August 19.

ceived his bachelor o f arts
from Portland State Univer
sity in 1971 and completed
his medical degree at the

reer spanned several states

family and his beloved Co
lumbia River brought him
back to Oregon. He worked
in several communities in
Oregon starting in Sandy,
moving on to Heppner and

Ecuador. He dreamt
o f sailing around the Pa
cific Rim. His family often
accom panied him on the
sailboat, starting with his

lover o f tools and machines,
a builder and creator who
was constantly expanding
