Banks School Board hears from the Facility Planning Committee
Kathy Edison was sworn in
as the newest member of the
Banks School Board of Direc-
tors at their meeting July 9. Edi-
son, who said that she was ex-
cited to be there and looking
forward to working hard, re-
places outgoing director Gene
Kelly.
Since two board members,
Duane Lundsten and Will
Moore, were not at the meet-
ing, the other directors voted to
postpone electing a board chair
and vice-chair for the 2007-08
school year until the next board
meeting. Normally, no meeting
is scheduled in August, but be-
cause of this issue and things
that may arise with the Facility
Planning Committee, a meeting
may be called in the next few
weeks.

Facility Planning Committee,
Citizen asks council about potholes on Banks Road
From page 12
Citizen Marion Steinbach
asked who she should contact
about potholes surrounding the
railroad tracks on NW Banks
Road. Not only is it loud when
cars “clunk over the tracks” but
it is dangerous, she said. The
City Recorder, who already had
calls in to Washington County
and the railroad, will forward
Steinbach’s maintenance re-
quest.
Edison commended City At-
torney Jim Lucas for his good
work on the emergency fran-
chise ordinances; David Milky,

from Verizon, contacted Lucas
and voiced his astonishment
that the city passed a franchise
ordinance. A Verizon represen-
tative will be in Banks July 25,
to meet with Lucas and Council
to review contracts Verizon cur-
rently has with the cities of Tu-
alatin and Forest Grove. The
City has not heard from NW
Natural Gas.
The next regularly sched-
uled City Council Meeting will
be August 14 at 7:30 p.m.

updated board members on
what the committee had been
doing and explained two re-
quests. The first request was
for the board to authorize a
hazardous material study. The
junior high and high school
have been identified as con-
taining a significant amount of
asbestos in the building materi-
als, a major factor in the origi-
nal committee’s recommenda-
tion to remove these buildings.
However, other reports have
been found that indicate the
schools do not present a haz-
ardous materials exposure risk.
The difference in these reports
is most likely that the materials
are safe until disturbed. The
Facility Planning Committee is
requesting that the board au-
thorize a hazardous material
study so the extent of any haz-
ardous material removal in-
volved in demolition or remod-
eling can be determined. The
board voted to approve the
