Last spring, on the rec o m m e n d a tio n o f the city’s economic develop ment comm ittee, the city council passed four reso lutions for developm ent incentives in the hope that it w ould encourage new development in Boardman. These incentives were of fered for fifteen months, and expired on July 1. The first develop ment incentive temporarily suspended the city’s system development charges, up to $ 10,000. The second devel opment incentive reduced the city’s commercial water overage rate by 50%. The third developm ent incen tive gave new homeowners three months o f free water and sewer, up to $ 150. The final development incentive gave new hom eow ners a new tree. C ity m a n a g e r Karen Pettigrew reported com m ercial w ater users saved over $13,000 un der this program . Three construction projects were a b le to tak e ad v a n ta g e o f the suspension o f the city’s system development charges, saving developers over $15,000. Eleven new residents qualified for free water and sewer for up to three months.

They of fer to walk the consumer through security measures to protect their computer, and in an ironic twist, lead the consumer to download the very malware they are warning them about, gain ing access to sensitive fi nancial information.
