Council Calls Special Election Over Water Bonds
Hood River council fast tracked an ordinance for a special election to vote on a water bonds issue of about 42 000 dollars. The water company and city agreed to move toward a condemnation suit to settle the Winters matter, with appeals allowed if the verdict is unfair. The price cap remains 42 500 dollars, and the case may go to the Oregon Supreme Court if needed. The trial venue could be Hood River or The Dalles with Judge Bradshaw presiding, and a decision expected within 30 days after bonds are voted. The election is set for Saturday July 5, with officials named for the polls.
