Comments: Irrigon City

information to the court:
Breazeale stated that he
is applying for a grant of
$50,000 for work on the
Heritage Trail between 1*

This grant would require
a 20% match from local
individuals, which could
be local labor or materials.
The court agreed to provide
a letter of support for this
grant. Breazeale stated that
the five county communi
ties are working together to
develop a promotional plan,
with the cost to be $ 15,000
for a one-year plan. An IGA
will need to be developed
for the five cities to work
together. Boardman, Ir
rigon and Heppner have
each agreed to pay $5,000
for the services. lone stated
they are willing to provide
some funding; the amount
they pay will reduce the
amounts needed from the
other three cities. At the end
o f one year, an.evaluation
will be done to determine if
the efforts have been effec
tive. Breazeale discussed
the high nitrates in the area
and how it may impact the
city. Breazeale stated that
the city is converting the
north end of town from 8th
to 10th streets onto the new
sewer system. The cost will
be around $1.8 million.
They have acquired a loan
from the State o f Oregon

The state will forgive one
million dollars if the proj
ect is in compliance with
the state’s requirements.
Breazeale discussed the
plans of the group working
to change the number of
commissioners that would
represent the county and
going to a Home Rule form
of government. Breazeale
stated that John Wenholz
