Some eight residential property owners expressed impatience with the city of Hillsboro during the April 15 city council meeting regarding longstanding drainage problems in their neighborhoods.

AMPI building and new athletic facility on hold for time being
Unified School District 410 approved bids Monday for civil engineering and geotechnical services for two projects authorized in the June bond election.
That vote, which excluded approving those services for the transportation facility and central office at the former AMPI building, came after the board met in executive session with architects Kevin Helmer and David Riffel to discussion property acquisition.
“We need to discuss engineering bids,” Helmer said prior to the executive session. “Otherwise it will slow everything down.”
Civil engineers determine the infrastructure for utilities while geotechnical services include recommendations for building foundations, Helmer said.
The firm Howard & Helmer does not provide those services, but will coordinate the work. The agreement is through USD 410 and must be approved by the board.
