Boardman invests in future,
offers development incentives
During Tuesday’s
Boardman City Council
meeting, councilors passed
two resolutions in hopes
of promoting development
within the city. The resolu
tions were recommenda
tions by the Boardm an
Economic Development
Committee, who have been
working over the last sev

resolution reduces the city’s

age rate by 35 cents per
thousand gallons for one
year. The council felt these
steps could possibly attract
developers and as well
as individuals to build in
Boardman. City Manager
Karen Pettigrew said the
economic impact would
cost about $10,000 in wa
ter revenues over the next
year. Mayor Chet Phillips
said the cost illustrates the
city is “investing in our fu
ture”. He feels the benefits
will outweigh the cost if it
encourages new develop
ment. Other ideas suggested
by the Economic Develop
ment Committee included
offering a free tree and
three months of free water
and sewer service to all new
homebuyers.
In other city news,
councilors heard reports
from the city’s department
heads as part of the city’s
quarterly Strategic Plan
review. The council passed
a budget adjustment reso
lution to cover the cost
of a new police car, and
consultant and engineering
fees for street and water
projects.
The next regularly
scheduled City Council
meeting will be Tuesday,
April 20, 2010 at 7 p.m. at
Boardman City Hall.

“I believe in smaller government and
lower taxes... that includes the hidden taxes
of permits and fees. This especially holds
true during a deep recession...The
unforgivable and outrageous early release of
violent felons as a cost saving measure not
only places citizens in danger, but opens the
door to criminals to re-offend, costing the
state even more. It's absolutely crazy.
We can do better than that."
