Busy Meeting Night In Hood River On Tuesday

Two significant public meetings are scheduled for Hood River on Tuesday.  The Columbia Gorge Community College Board of Education will hold a worksession at 5 p.m. Tuesday in Room 302 of the school’s Hood River-Indian Creek campus.  The subject will be the upcoming 2015-17 budget, concerns about which became public two weeks ago when CGCC President Frank Toda including closure of the Hood River campus among a list of possible money-saving measures, but was quickly taken off the table after a negative reaction from board members.  The agenda for this worksession indicates the board will not take public comments.  Meanwhile, the Hood River City Council meets in City Hall at 6 p.m. Tuesday for the latest hearing involving an Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals remand of Wal-Mart’s effort to expand its current facility, and whether it has a vested right to do so based on its 1992 land use permit.  The hearing will be “on the record,” with the three parties with standing in the appeal given ten minutes to make a presentation.
