Affidavit
County hears objections to possible $8
million Irrigon facility
Engineers submit 25,000-square-foot building plan
By David Sykes
The Morrow County
Commission last week
heard objections to a pro-
posed new Irrigon facility,
that could cost between
$5.6 and $8.3 million and
cover 24,949 square feet.
The proposal came from an
engineering firm the county
hired to study its needs in
the north end of the county.
The county has been dis-
cussing for some time what
to do about expanding and
replacing aging and inad-
equate facilities located
in Boardman and Irrigon.
They had hired Crow Engi-
neering to come up the plan.
“I think twenty thou-
sand square feet is over-
kill,” Irrigon City Manager
Aaron Palmquist told the
commissioners who were
meeting at the city hall
library complex in Irrigon.
He said the city hall library
is only 12.2 thousand feet
and he thought the county
could get by with a new fa-
cility much smaller maybe
in the 12 to 14 thousand
square foot range. He said
the planned facility had
a “huge” parking lot, too
many private restrooms for
staff and elected officials
and much other wasted
space. Palmquist also didn’t
think the proposed build-
ing was “public friendly.”
“Your offices should have
public access instead of
being behind a wall,” he
told the commissioners. He
said there was no reason
officials and staff couldn’t
share restrooms with the
public.
“Commissioner Rus-
sell has always said we are
going to do better (spend
less) than we did on the Bart
Building (the new county
building in Heppner that
cost over $4 million) I think
this is overkill. I would cut
it in half,” Palmquist said
of the proposed Irrigon fa-
cility. Russell said he also
was “shocked” at the size
of the proposal that came
back from the engineering
firm. “We were all shocked
at 24,000 square feet,” he
said.
The county had for
some time been seeking to
upgrade the facilities and
offices located in the north
end, but commissioners and
staff have wrestled with
how best to do the big job
of evaluating the multiple
county offices and build-
ings, then coming up with
a plan for new buildings. It
was finally decided to hire
a project manager with ex-
pertise in this type of wide-
ranging planning.
Crow Engineering was
hired at a cost of $36,759
to do a complete study of
the buildings, services and
staff, then formulate new
facility plans along with
their costs. The firm visited
each office and facility,
talked to staff and met with
county commissioners dur-
ing the process.
Crow officials visited
the Irrigon Annex, Board-
man Clinic, Veterans Ser-
vices and the Irrigon Board-
man Emergency Assistance
Center. During each visit
they are looking at things
like number of employees,
growth potential in each
department, building condi-
tion and site usage and lease
and other costs (the county
leases some office spac-
es). They also interviewed
county staff and looked at
numbers of people served,
parking and other public
needs. The buildings they
looked at included: Irrigon
Annex, which houses the
Justice Court, Planning
and Parole and Probation.
Boardman Clinic Building
which houses Public Health,
Juvenile Department and
District Attorney’s Office,
Veteran’s Services, which
leases one office in Irrigon
City Hall, and the Irrigon
Boardman Emergency As-
sistance Center in Irrigon,
which also has an office
there leased by the County
Clerk.
The commission has
not made a final decision
on the size of the new fa-
cilities planned for the north
end and will continue to
hold meetings with Crow
to discuss the proposals.
Crow also plans on hold-
ing three public hearings
in Boardman, Irrigon and
Heppner once final plans
are decided on.
In other business at
the March 14 meeting, the
commission heard from
Morrow County School Su-
perintendent Dirk Dirksen
and Community Counsel-
ing Solutions Administra-
tor Kimberly Lindsay on a
proposal to provide “extra
support” for 10 to 15 kin-
dergartners through sixth
grade students who have
difficulty getting along in
school. The district wants
to set up a couple of modu-
lar classrooms where the
children could be separated
from the rest of the students
to receive extra attention.
Dirksen and Lindsay were
asking the county for fi-
nancial assistance in imple-
menting the program.
Apparently, the chil-
dren are having behavior is-
sues, acting out and disrupt-
ing the rest of the class, and
with the special help they
could develop skills to deal
with the issues. The stu-
dents come from the Board-
man and Irrigon schools,
which is where the modular
special classrooms would
be. “So, you want to get
the kids back in the main-
stream?” Commissioner
Jim Doherty asked. “That’s
the goal,” said Dirksen.
“We have had some kids
go through day treatment
and it has helped.” Lindsay
said the issue came up 10
years ago to separate the
children with problems, but
for a variety of reasons it
wasn’t done. We have tried
different things and it has
not worked. They need a
higher-level help,” she said.
A lot of the time there are
things going on at home that
affect the students, but par-
ents don’t come to school
events or functions, so it is
hard to get them involved in
helping the students, it was
said. Lindsay said it was
best to catch the students
young and try and address
their problems. She said
younger age works best.
In other action the
commission voted to ap-
prove the purchase of a
new Polaris Ranger at a
cost of $19,168 for use by
the parks department. “We
need to update some of our
old equipment,” said Parks
Director Greg Close. He
said the repair bill is getting
“astronomical” on some of
their older equipment and
this would help them to
spend more time in the field
and less time in the shop.
In other business, the
commission voted unani-
mously to appoint Heppner
rancher Brian Thompson to
the planning commission.
“It’s a daunting task and I
respect the people who do
it,” Commissioner Doherty
said about planning mem-
bers.
