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.
