CITY COUNCIL
-Continuedfrom PAGE ONE service,” Ryan Miller said
ies have to o f­
fer,” the AMI plan said.
“The growing trend in this
economy is the ‘daytrip’ or
‘staycation.’ Consumers are
spending less on long-term,
extravagant vacations and
opting for the weekend
getaway.”
Heppner Chamber
director Sheryll Bates was
in attendance at the meet­
ing and she urged the city
to participate with the other
cities in the advertising
campaign.
“The only way we
are going to get this size
o f campaign is to do it as a
group,” she said.
The council voted
to use money from a recent­
ly sold HUD home in Hep­
pner to fund the campaign.
The city has $18,000 from
the sale of the home to use
for community betterment.
It opted to use $5,000 from
the HUD sale rather than
take the money out o f the
city ’s contingency fund.
The campaign is set to be­
gin in 2012 and last for one
year. lone and Lexington
will also be included in the
marketing but will not be
required to contribute any
funding, the council was
told.
In other business
the council heard from
brothers Adam and Chad
Doherty, who asked that
the council use some of the
HUD money to help fund
the Colt Football program.
Adam said the Colt pro­
gram had 27 kids last year
and is expected to have 30
next year. He asked the city
to help fund the program
so he would not have to
turn kids away who can­
not afford the $25 sign up
fee that normally covers
insurance costs. He also
said the program needs new
helmets, which cost $100
to $125 each. Doherty said
the Colt program ’s main
funding now comes from
running the O ’Ducky race
during St. Patrick’s Day,
donatiQns from the Hepp­
ner Booster Club and other
small fundraisers.
“I think this is a
good idea (to help out the
Colt program),” said coun-
cilm em ber Cody H igh,
“but I would like to see the
kids do some work for the
money, maybe clean up the
park or something.”
B oth Adam and
Chad Doherty agreed and
said the kids would do that.
The council instructed the
two to come back with a
specific amount the Colt
program is requesting.
On a related mat­
ter, the council discussed
how it might spend the rest
of the HUD money. So far,
of the $18,000, $5000 was
used on the advertising
campaign and an unspeci­
fied amount will be given to
the Colt Football program;
however, council members
debated how they should
spend the rest o f the money.
The Heppner senior center
has asked for some fund­
ing to help fix the heating
and AC unit there, but no
amount from the city has
been given.
