HR County Levy Measure Work Continues

Hood River County Commissioners have asked their legal counsel to make some wording changes to a proposed public safety levy expected to go before voters in May.  Commission Chair Mike Oates says they want to make sure voters understand exactly what the County is asking for and where the money from a levy of 78 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value that would be in effect for five years is going to go, most notably toward pushing the Sheriff’s Office toward 24-hour coverage.  The Commission will hold one more worksession this Monday at 9:30 a.m. in the County Administration Building to review the wording changes.  The measure will be the subject of a public hearing on February 18 before the Commission formally votes on whether to place it on the May ballot.
