City gets
$3 million
for seven
projects
continued from page one
projects, and the Oregon
Department o f Transporta
tion will need to finalize the
plans in October, 2009. All
of the projects are schedule
to be completed by 2010.
In other business at the
council meeting it was de
cided to charge an annual
fee of $35 to provide licens
es to any business wanting
to hold social gaming. The
city had already approved
a new social gaming ordi
nance, but had not yet set
the license cost. The council
voted to drop the fee from
a recommended $ 100 to the
$35. “If feel that is just too
m u ch ,” council m em ber
Judy Buschke said o f the
$100 proposal.
The council also heard
that an overflowing kitchen
sink in an apartment at the
St. Patrick’s Senior Center
caused $15,000 in dam
age to an apartment on the
third floor and two apart
ments below. Apparently
a resident left the w ater
on in the kitchen sink and
it overflowed into vacant
apartments below causing
extensive w ater dam age.
Floor tile would have to be
replaced as well as other
repairs. The city apparently
had asked for o verflow
drains on the kitchen sinks
during the recent rehabilita
tion of the apartments, but
had been told o verflow
sinks are only available for
bathroom sinks not kitchen.
The city will have to pay
two $1,000 insurance de
ductibles as a result of the
accident. It is apparently the
third time there has been
overflow accidents in the
past year.
The council learned that
the city made $9,000 pro
c e ssin g the w aste from
Spray’s septic systems. The
city of Spray is switching to
a central sewer processing
plant and needed a place to
process their septic waste.
The city charged $300 a
dump truck load to run the
w aste through the sewer
treatment plant.
Heard a report from De
Mayo that said the city’s
unused water storage tank
above Rock Street has been
pum ped dry and cut o ff
from the rest o f the city
w ater system . De M ayo
said the area is now ready if
a developer wished to come
in there. Concern for the
stability o f the large stor
age tank had been voiced
when the land above Rock
Street had been considered
as a location for the new Se
cure Residential Treatment
Facility (SRTF). The SRTF
eventually chose another
location, and is now begin
ning construction across
from Lakeview Heights in
Heppner.
The council agreed to
grant a noise variance to
Knife River Construction
between the hours o f 6a.m.
and 9p.m . for a p p ro x i
mately 22 days starting on
August 11. The company
will be pouring concrete on
the Court Street project and
needed more time to do the
work. The council grant
ing variance allow ed the
company the needed extra
hours in the day to get the
concrete poured correctly.
In other business the
council announced that it
would have a special coun
cil meeting later in August
for employee evaluations.
