The INDEPENDENT, June 20, 2001 can’t afford this. How can we, as individuals, help? There must be several thou sand of us outside of incorpo rated cities living along the many arterial county roads. Could we each donate $1.00 to help out? Show support that we need ColCo to continue “their services with a heart.” ColCo takes you to your doctor’s office for eye care, dental care or medical exams and return you to home. For young families where mom and dad both work full time, but have children who attend pre school or primary classes end ing early in the day, ColCo will pick the children up at the school and take them to the parent’s selected babysitter. ColCo figures the expense for each individual delivery and the parents pay accordingly. ColCo really tries to meet the needs in the county. Let all areas of this county pull together to show we need this service by sending in our dollars soon. A copy of this let ter is being sent to all other county newspapers, but not everyone subscribes, so please ask your neighbors to help pass the word and ask for help from any organization that you attend. Residents of incor porated cities, are you too complacent over your city gov ernment being able to send your donation for you? Some won’t be able, so maybe you could spare ColCo a dollar. Let us surprise them with support. Send your donations to the fol lowing address listed below. ColCo Transportation, Co lumbia County Council of Se niors, P O Box 141, 277 Strand Street, St. Helens, OR 97051. Blanche Bangsund Deer Island County fair and parks not well managed the Editor: In November, 2000, our Board of County Commission ers (BOC) submitted three levies for voter approval that were not well thought out, es pecially the Fair Levy. 1. By state law (ORS 565.330), the fair may include a levy sum not to exceed 1- 160th of 1% of Real Market Value (RMV) for fair purposes. The recent (failed) levy re quested a total of $1,526,109 over 5 years. The first year’s tax would have been $289,641; that’s $71,762 over the state mandated amount. You do the math for the remaining 4 years! They’re not following State ORS law. 2. The historic society’s levy looked as though they were re questing $750,000 over 5 years; not $150,000. 3. The depletion fee levy mentioned “minor housekeep ing” amendments without even outlining what those changes might be and losing more mon ey in the coffers, to boot. Commissioner comments were that the voters did not un derstand the measures. Given the inaccurate language on the levies, the Commissioners were incompetent and respon sible for their failure! The BOC keep saying they have no control or power over the Fair Board. This simply is not true! Under ORS 565.230, “the Fair Board has the exclu sive management of the ground...and entrusted with the entire business manage ment and financial and other affairs of such fair." However, the BOC appoints the Fair Board and approves the Fair Budget and their business ex penses. Question: do we need a secretary who makes $40,000 per year (plus bene fits), who recommends a $40,000 feasibility study that the Fair Board should be mak ing themselves? In 1988, the property known as Asburry Acres was donated to the County (not the Fair). In 1997, it was designated a County Park by the County and the City of St. Helens agreed with the designation. In 1998, a proposal to establish a Page 13 systems development charge was submitted to provide fund ing to create and maintain a park at Asburry Acres. Once again, the BOC has drug their feet. Now they’re proposing a zone change from FA-19 to CSR and CSI, which, if ap proved, would allow the Fair to use Asburry Acres as a parking lot! FA-19 allows for parks. When the budget is so short, why is the County so anxious to spend $1,500 for an applica tion for a zone change? Let’s follow the wishes of the donating family and make it a park where children can play. Finally, why aren’t the BOC spending as much time and ef fort trying to come up with a so lution to the County Parks’ bud get constraints? Are you aware that in three years there will be no money to fund our County Parks? In other words, there will be no County Parks. Peo ple of Columbia County - do you want this to happen?
