Boardman retains police department
During the June 7
council meeting, in a vote
o f 6-0 with one councilor
absent, the Boardman City
Council approved retain
ing the Boardman Police
Department for its law en
forcement. The decision
came after months of meet
ings with the community
and an assessment by the
Oregon Association Chiefs
of Police. Additionally, the
council approved the city
manager to pursue hiring
a professional recruiter to
find candidates to fill the
chief of police position.
In March, the city
council hosted a town hall
meeting, prompted by a
request from one o f its
citizens to consider con
tracting with the Morrow
County Sheriff’s Depart
ment for law enforcement.
The public overwhelmingly
encouraged the council to
retain the city’s police de
partment.
In April, the coun
cil instructed city manager
Karen Pettigrew to schedule
an assessment of its police
department by the Oregon
Association Chiefs of Po
lice. The assessment team
was made up of chiefs from
police departments from
around the State of Oregon.
They interviewed the city’s
officers and city staff to
determine Boardman’s law
enforcement needs. Based
on their assessment, they
concluded the city needed
leadership in the Police
Department and that many
of the police department’s
challenges could be best
addressed once a permanent
police chief has been hired.
Lieutenant Loren Dieter
has taken on the duties of
interim chief since the first
part of March.
In May, the council
held a workshop to review
the Oregon A ssociation
Chiefs of Police assessment.
City m anager Pettigrew
invited Morrow County
Sheriff Ken Matlack to the
meeting to explain the cov
erage options that could be
available for the city’s law
enforcem ent, should the
city choose to contract w ith
the county. He said it would
cost the city about $600,000
to provide law enforcement
coverage, including hiring
five patrol officers and one
office manager. He was un
sure the number of hours of
coverage the county could
provide. At that time, coun
cilors discussed options to
get a permanent police chief
hired and the need to sup
port the police department.
Mayor Phillips said
the June 7 vote to retain the
BPD was the result of all
the meetings and the input
the council had received.
He thanked everyone who
participated in the com
munity meetings and said
he is looking forward to
introducing the new police
chief to the community.
In other city business,
councilors adopted the
2011-2012 city budget of
$9,093,151.00. Property
taxes will be levied at a
rate of $4.2114 per $1000
of assessed valuation and
$457,000 will be levied
for bonded indebtedness
not subject to Measure 5 or
Measure 50 limitations.
The next meeting of
the Boardman City Council
will be Tuesday, June 21 at
7 p.m. at Boardman City
Hall Council Chambers.
