She has attended nearly every council meeting and has a solid understanding of the many
issues facing Wheeler. Her tireless work on the Wheeler clean up day and emergency
preparedness have been a huge benefit to everyone in town. She is level headed and kind. I’m
confident that she will do an excellent job.

BBQ Presidential Vote Survey
Are you planning on voting in the Presidential election? If you know for whom you are going to vote, as administrators of the BBQ, we are interested in understanding why you chose that candidate.

Those willing to answer that question must follow a couple of rules we created to have their thoughts posted on the BBQ.
Those rules are:
• Describe what you like about your candidate—values, priorities, attitude towards issues, etc.
• DO NOT respond with ANY language about the other candidate. Post must ONLY be about the candidate of your choice.
• Title must be “What I like about (name of candidate)
• Must use General Interest category
• Must respond before 5pm on Sept 20th
ALL posts that follow these rules will be posted on the BBQ website.
ANY post that does not follow these rules will not be posted.

Barbara and Chuck
BBQ Administrators
In 2023, the Council led by Mayor Simmons voted on changing the billing cycle, water rates and units tied to the base rate. There was plenty of notice given to water users through communications through the water bill notices, city website, public meetings, etc. Ordinance 90-8 was amended to reflect the billing cycle change to monthly. The City did amend the Ordinance once the mistake was discovered.
From Yachats to Astoria, not one city bills quarterly. Why move backward?
PLEASE NOTE: NO EMAILS.
