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.

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?
