HAL Looks To Wasco County For Funding Option Talks

Wasco County and Home At Last Humane Society officials will talk about options for public funding of some of the animal shelter’s services, but the road to get there may be difficult.  Home At Last board president Paul Viemeister and development director Erin Foote Morgan spoke to the County Commission during Wednesday’s public comment period, with Viemeister saying there needs to be more than the current five percent funding from public sources and more collaboration from the County and the City of The Dalles.  But Commissioner Steve Kramer and County Administrative Officer Tyler Stone pointed out that the County has provided the shelter building on River Road, and Kramer noted a tax levy measure could impact other special districts through property tax compression.  Commission Chair Kathy Schwartz asked for a meeting to be set up between County officials and Home At Last.
