Boardman to review
development incentives
D u rin g th e Ju ly
5 Boardman city council
meeting, councilors voted
to form an incentives re
view committee to evalu
ate the e ffectiv en ess o f
the city’s recently expired
dev elo p m en t in cen tiv es
program.
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.
To adequately as
sess the overall effective
ness and value o f the de
velopment incentives pro
gram, the incentives review
committee will be working
with staff to collect data for
their report. The committee
is expected to report their
findings at a future council
meeting.
The next meeting
o f the Boardman city coun
cil will be July 19 at 7 p.m.
at B oardm an C ity H all
council chambers.
The O regon D e
partment o f Justice (DOJ)
has received more than a
dozen co m plaints about
scam artists attempting to
gain remote access to Or
egonians’ computers.
N o in fo rm a tio n
w as a v a ila b le from the
Morrow County Sheriff’s
Office. A ccording to the
DOJ, though, the scam
mers contact consumers by
phone or email claiming to
work for a computer com
pany, and say that the con
sumer’s computer is at ex
treme risk o f being infected
with viruses or malware due
to tremendous amounts o f
internet activity. 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.
The DOJ also states
the scammers likely use a
bogus address in the United
States to appear legitimate
but in reality are operating
from overseas.
Last year O rego
nians reported losing nearly
$2 million to scams. Attor
ney General Kroger offers
the follow ing advice to
avoid falling victim:
If you receive an
unsolicited email or phone
call claiming your computer
is at risk or needs attention,
hang up or delete the email.
Never open attachments or
click on links from suspi
cious emails.

not be enticed by fake offers
