The Dalles City Council held a worksession Monday evening on proposed amendments to the City’s Land Use and Development Ordinance in preparation for an anticipated public hearing on October 28.  Community Development Director Steve Harris says the changes range from technical in nature to using common sense, and some are to meet state requirements.  Planning staff has recommended deferring action on the affordable housing section until a guide that is referred to in the amendments can be drafted.  The plan is to bring the affordable housing ordinance changes and the guide at one time in order for them to be evaluated together.  Harris noted The Dalles is seeing only about a half of the homes constructed each year that would be necessary to meet demand.

 

The Hood River County Commission conducted a worksession Monday as it begins the process of putting together a prioritization of 88 county services to reflect the community importance of each of them.  County Administrator Jeff Hecksel had made the suggestion to put together the list as the County faces budget cuts if new revenue cannot be developed.  Hecksel says the services were given raw scores by all of the Commissioners and were not put into absolute rankings.  Topping the scores after Monday’s worksession were law enforcement, managing the county forest, maternal and child health, operation of the regional jail, and tax collection.  Hecksel says the Commission’s next step is to discuss the prioritization as a group, and that will take place at the Commission’s October 21 meeting.

The Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility will discuss its current management arrangement at a worksession later this month.  After Brian Brandenburg stepped away as the administrator of the jail last year the NORCOR board, made up of four county commissioners from Wasco, Hood River, Sherman, and Gilliam counties, decided to use an interim structure with one of the county sheriffs overseeing the adult side of the facility and a county juvenile director doing the same for that part of NORCOR.  Wasco County Commissioner and NORCOR board vice-chair Kathy Schwartz says they will evaluate the arrangement at an October 24 worksession.  NORCOR is the only regional jail in Oregon.

The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office says a one-month-old girl was found to be dead after the child’s parents called 9-1-1 to report the baby was not breathing.  The Sheriff’s Office says medics and law enforcement responded to the call early Monday morning, and an initial investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police does not suggest foul play.  Because a child is deceased the investigation is on-going, and a post-mortem examination was to be conducted Tuesday by the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office.  The name of the child and the family has not been released.   The death occurred in The Dalles.

A reception is scheduled Wednesday in association with a new exhibit at the History Museum of Hood River County entitled “The Columbia Gorge Sinfonietta:  Evolution of a Homegrown Orchestra.”  Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association executive director Mark Steighner says the exhibit celebrates 40 years of the Sinfonietta and its roots dating back to the mid-20th Century and a Finnish immigrant named Boris Sirpo, who envisioned Hood River becoming the “Salzburg of America.”  The reception will be from 6 p.m. to 8 pm. Wednesday at the History Museum of Hood River County in Port Marina Park.  The exhibit will be on display through December.

North Wasco County School District 21 will resume its long-range facilities planning meetings with a session Tuesday evening.  This is the first meeting during the current school year after starting in the spring.  D-21 Superintendent Candy Armstrong says district staff has taken a state survey on the educational adequacy of each building, and that will help inform those involved in the planning meeting.  The meeting will be at 6 p.m. in The Dalles Middle School Library.

Harvest Fest weekend is coming in Hood River this weekend.  The 37th annual event will take place from Friday through Sunday at the Waterfront Event Site.  Hood River County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kate Schroeder says they will have 120 farmers, artisan food producers, wineries, cideries and artists.  Friday will be Senior Day, with admission $4 for senior citizens, and Locals Day, with local residents getting $1 off admission.  Complete Harvest Fest information is at hoodriver.org.
