The Vernonia Jamboree Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the parade. It was very well re- ceived and everyone did a fab- ulous job! Council okays money for Master Plan From page 4 The council approved an amendment to the Cooperative Improvement Agreement be- tween the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the City of Vernonia regarding completion of the work being done on Missouri Ave. and Texas Ave. in preparation for the opening of the new school. City Administrator Bill Haack was given authorization to con- tract with Tetra Tech to update the city’s Master Capital Plan (MCP). The expected cost is $68,111, split between Tetra Tech and Daniel Hefferman Company. The initial MCP was done in 1999. A recent scoping exercise done by Tetra Tech, for $10,000, found the MCP to be out of date, with no consis- tent guidance, that it is not a re- liable planning document, and that the System Development Charges (SDCs) are out of date. The money for the update will come from contract servic- es and contingency lines in SDC funds for parks, water, sewer, storm and streets. Council gave approval to Jeff Burch, Public Works Fore- man, to go ahead with his plan to use asphalt grinding to repair portions of A and B Streets. This method will cost less than half of the normal paving meth- ods used and, it is hoped, will be a good method for use on streets with only local access traffic. Resolution No. 29-12 estab- lishing a Public Works Commit- tee was approved. The council worked earlier in the year to standardize the committee frameworks and the committee has now reviewed and accept- ed the new committee lan- guage. The next regular council meeting will be held August 20, starting at 7:00 p.m. at city hall. This contestant had the ‘pole walk and slip’ experience dur- ing the Pole Walk & Snip event at the Jamboree Logging Show. Photos by Curtis Knight.
