Oregon City hearings study five fund requests
The Oregon city council reviewed five requests from groups and departments for part of 12000 in federal revenue sharing money. Project PLAY seeks 2000 for playground bill payments, Ogle Senior Services asks 5000 for Yellowbird Senior Center maintenance, and the Ogle Mental Health Association requests 500 to expand a directory. Streets would like 10000 to replace sidewalks, and the mayor favors adding sidewalks where none exist. The panel will vote at the November 13 meeting. Also, Norm Sonderman was recommended for an outside-the-city-limits planning post, a recommendation the mayor said would not bind him to action. mayor Barnes noted he will name two candidates for the two vacancies at the Nov 13 meeting.
