The Project Oversight Steering Team for the New-
berg-Dundee Transportation Improvement Project this
month will recommend a location for a bypass aimed at
relieving area traffic congestion.
Local and state leaders on the steering team will meet
twice this month to:
Review public and agency comments about bypass lo-
cation option.
Rank the measures they'll use to select a preferred
bypass route.
Resolve other issues they face before making a route
recommendation to ODOT.
There will be time at each meeting to hear public
comments or concerns.
The meetings are scheduled for:
Jan. 10, noon to 4 pm, Newberg City Hall Training
Room, 401 E. Third Street.
Jan. 22, 11 am to 5 pm, Chehalem Youth Center, 620
N. Morton St Newberg.
At the meetings, POST members will discuss how
each of eight proposed bypass corridors fared in the Loca-
tion Draft Environmental Impact Statement released in
September. The LDEIS analyzed environmental, social,
land use and other impacts of building a bypass along
eight possible routes around Newberg and Dundee and the
impacts of not building a bypass.
Because the official comment period for the bypass
location study ended Dec. 26, public comments at the
January meetings cannot be included in the LDEIS. They
will, however, be considered by the steering team and in-
eluded in the summary of the January meetings.

Prior to the start of the regular meeting of the Dayton
City Council Monday evening, Jan. 6, Mayor Georgia M.
Windish and Councilors Mitch Coleman, Kate Haverkate
and James King were sworn in by the City Administra-
tor/Recorder Sue Hollis. All had won re-election in the
November 2002 general election.
Councilor Coleman was later re-elected to the posi-
tion of Council President by a unanimous vote of the
Council.
At the request of the applicant's attorney, the Public
Hearing on a request for a comprehensive plan amend-
ment, zone change and appeal of a Planning Commission
decision to deny a subdivision on a 42,250 square foot
parcel at the southeast corner of Ferry Street and Seventh
Street was continued for an additional month. It will now
be held on February 3, 2003 at 6:30 pm at the Dayton
Fire Hall.
The Council approved changes and a cost increase of
$47,300 in the engineering contract for the Water System
Improvement Project. The increase was needed because
results of water tests from the new wells necessitated
changes in treatment, including stripping for methane at
the wellheads and filtering for iron and manganese at the
treatment facility.
Telemetry has been added to the design which will al-
low Public Works staff to more closely monitor the wells
and to control them from City Hall. The telemetry will
also include the sewer lift stations. This latter portion of
the project will be paid for from sewer funds.
The facility will also now be generating its own chlo-
rine from salt. This is more compatible with a facility in a
residential zone, is safer to handle, and will provide more
consistent levels of chlorine residual throughout the sys-
tem, with less chlorine taste and odor, officials said.
John Paul (JP) Jones was appointed to fill a vacancy
on the city's Planning Commission, created by the expira-
tion of Sharon Maxwell's term on December 31, 2002.
Ms. Maxwell declined to be considered for reappointment.
Her contributions to the Commission will be missed,
councilors said.
contribution of $84 to the League of Oregon Cities to as-
sist with various PERS-related projects during the upcom-
ing Legislative Session. The Council also received the
latest actuarial valuations and recommended employer
contribution rates from Milliman USA, a consultant to
PERS. For the next two years, at least, the city's em-
ployer contribution rate will stay the same, city officials
said. Currently it is 7.37% with 1.7% actual cash contri-
bution. The employee rate remains at 6%. These recom-
mended rates have not been approved by the PERS Board
at this time.
The Council will hold a Work Session on Code En-
forcement Issues on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2003, at 7 pm in
the Dayton Fire Hall. Interested persons are encouraged to
attend and provide input on how they feel the City should
address Code Enforcement complaints without police
services or enforcement officers.
Councilors said they are looking for low-cost, inno-
vative ways to deal with these issues. Typical code com-
plaints include excessive noise, barking dogs, junk and
other nuisances that affect the quality of life in the com-
munity. The Yamhill County Sheriff's office has indicated
they will not enforce City Codes.
The next regular meeting of the Dayton City Council
will be Monday, February 3, 2003 at 6:30 pm in the
Dayton Fire Hall.

the City. Mr. Jones noted in his application "Every
citizen that has a talent or skill that can provide a positive SChOO Z el[,~e~tse
contribution and, if they have the time, should volunteer
time to make a positive contribution to the city " Mr.
Jones went on to note that he felt that Dayton will have a
major role in the controlled growth of Yamhill County and
will need to be strong to either grow in controlled
boundaries or resist the temptation to expand too rapidly.
He feels that population growth needs to be controlled at
paces that do not overburden public services while still
allowing the town to accommodate some of the regional
growth.
Jones is currently employed as a Business Manager
with the Oregon Secretary of State. He has been active as
a coach in youth sports in the Dayton and McMinnville
areas for the past four years.
