Houston/Rolla/Cedar Creek Ranger District

Phelps County, Missouri

Helibase Development Project

A Draft Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact (DN/FONSI) has

been prepared and is available upon request for the Helibase Development Project

at the Houston/Rolla/Cedar Creek Ranger District Office, 108 S. Sam Houston Blvd.,

Houston, Missouri 65483, or on the Mark Twain National Forest website: https://

www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mtnf/projects. Scroll down to the Helibase Development

project.

Additional information regarding this project or to receive a printed copy of the

Draft Decision Notice or the Helibase Development Environmental Assessment,

can be obtained a number of ways from Mark Hamel, Integrated Resource Analyst,

at telephone (573) 341-7443, Fax: (573) 364-6844, or e-mail mhamel@fs.fed.us. The

Responsible Official, Kimberly Bittle, District Ranger, has identified Alternative 2 as

the Preferred Alternative for this project. The Houston/Rolla/Cedar Creek Ranger

District’s primary objective of the Helibase Development Project is to provide

aviation support to hazardous fuels projects and the ability to assist firefighters in

wildfire suppression actions on National Forest System lands in southern Missouri.

The Helibase is the location from which incident helicopter support missions are

flown, and where the helicopters assigned to that base are parked, serviced, and

refueled. This Helibase would be used to house and support two types of helicopters.

A Type 2 (10 person crew) and a Type 3 (5 person crew) helicopter. These helicopters

are used not only in the suppression of wildland fires on National Forest System

lands in Missouri but elsewhere throughout the country.

The Mark Twain National Forest Helibase Development Project is situated

solely on National Forest System lands on the Houston/Rolla/Cedar Creek Ranger

District approximately 12 miles south of Rolla on the west side of Highway 63 in

Phelps County, Missouri. The project boundary including the proposed Helibase

site consists of 140 acres, of which approximately 15 acres are proposed for use for

buildings, infrastructure, and helipads. The legal description is Township 35N, Range

8W, Sections 5 and 6 as well as Township 36N, Range 8W Section 32, Fifth Principle

Meridian.

Houston Mayor Don Tottingham on

Monday asked the city council to develop

a strategic plan to better the community

that would encompass several years.

Tottingham said he was encouraging the

council, himself and city administrator to

engage in developing a vision that would

focus on improvements for Houston.

“I think we need to look at the future

on what we want to plan for Houston,”

Tottingham said. He noted other efforts

had resulted in new streets and improve-

ments. At the same time, he said, the city

needs to look at it reserves and determine

what it can afford to do to make the com-

munity better.

As part of the discussion, Tottingham

asked that a former long-time city coun-

cilman, Don Romines, give a historical

perspective on the city’s finances and the

main funding mechanisms that contrib-

ute the lion’s share of revenue for opera-

tion of city government. The city’s enter-

prise funds — electric, water and sewer

— generate the most revenue, followed by

sales tax revenue for general purposes,

streets, sidewalks and utility work, along

with property taxes. Romines walked the

council through various sales taxes that

were used to pay everything from debt at

a new wastewater sewer plant to a new

fire truck. With the exception of one time,

Houston citizens have never turned down

a sales tax for projects to better the com-

munity, he said.

Romines made some suggestions, but

noted it was the council’s job on how mon-

ey should be spent:

nWatch reserves closely. The city has

about $4.8 million. The city’s auditor says

about 50 percent of the annual budget

should be stashed away. The annual fi-

nancial document ranges from $7 to $10

million, depending how many projects are

underway.

nBe transparent with the voters on fi-

nances.

nClosely watch budget reports to see

how revenues and expenditures are trend-

ing.

nDon’t carry an extreme amount of

money in the day-to-day checkbook. An

auditor recommended the equivalent of

three months of expenditures. The sur-

plus could be invested.

nGet creative with its financial plan-

ning: Once the city borrowed money from

the electrical fund at a much cheaper rate

than it could have with a traditional lend-

er to pay for a fire truck. A sales tax, ap-

proved by voters, paid back the principal.

The effort saved taxpayers money.

nDevelop a one-, three-, five- and 10-year

plan to plot the community’s needs.
