FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 13,2011 Boardman plans assessment HHS king and queen crowned of police department around the state. They w ill interview the officers and city staff, and may contact members o f the commu nity during the assessment to determine Boardman’s law enforcem ent needs. They will then make recom mendations to the council based on their assessment. The Oregon Association Chiefs of Police also offers a service to assist the city in finding a replacement po lice chief. Currently Loren Dieter is serving as interim chief. In other city busi ness, the council appointed David Gray and Bill Han cock to the Planning Com mission, renewed a contract with Boy Scout Troop 602 for flag display services, ratified the police union contract, and made an Ar bor Day proclamation. The council also amended two developm ent incentives resolutions regarding sys tem development charges and a commercial water rate reduction, making the expiration date on all of the city’s development incen tives to July 1, 2011. The next m e et ing of the Boardman City Council will be Tuesday, April 19 at 7 p.m. at Board- man City Hall. T he B o ard m an City Council is seeking input before deciding the direction of law enforce ment for the city. Last month the city council hosted a town hall meeting to get the public’s input on what the commu nity wants from its local law enforcement. The council questioned the importance of 24/7 coverage, quick re sponse for law enforcement, w hether the community wants dedicated officers to patrol the city, and whether the city should contract for law enforcement services with the Morrow County S heriff’s Departm ent or retain its own police de partment. The public over whelmingly encouraged the council to retain the city’s police department. At last night’s city council meeting, Councilor Ed Glenn proposed a reso lution to pursue contracting with the Morrow County Sheriff’s Department; the resolution'was rejected by a vote of 5-1. Instead, the council instructed the city m anager to schedule an assessm ent o f its police department by the Oregon Association Chiefs of Po lice. The assessment team is made up o f chiefs of police departments from Heppner High School crowned its king and queen at the prom held April 2.
