Wasco County To Move Forward With South Wasco Parks & Rec District

Wasco County Commissioners have decided to move forward with establishing a non-taxing parks and recreation district in South Wasco County.  The district concept has come about as efforts to fix a broken boat ramp at Pine Hollow Reservoir led to a survey that found substantial support for a South Wasco County Parks and Recreation District to deal with other issues as well.  Commissioner Scott Hege says this kind of non-taxing district has had success in that portion of the county in other areas, adding the district would be eligible for funds through the Oregon Marine Board and state Fish and Wildlife.  The County Commission can form the non-taxing district, and directed staff to prepare documents and bring them back as soon as the end of next week so selection of directors can take place in the May election.  The district would essentially start south of Tygh Ridge.
