Main St. City readies neighborhood watch programs By WILL DENNER East Oregonian Residents of Milton-Freewater will soon be able to help take charge of their surroundings through neighborhood associations. Milton-Freewater City Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday night supporting the formation of these associations, which would allow residents an organized forum to discuss issues and solutions speciic to their neighborhoods. Milton-Firewater resident David Shannon brought forth the resolution, also sponsored by police Chief Doug Boedigheimer. Potential examples discussed at the meeting included neighborhood and trafic improvements, as well as implementing neighborhood watch groups to combat crime. This aspect of neighborhood asso- ciations could be especially important to Milton-Freewater — a town that has seen two homicides and one shooting involving oficers since May. The association would also give citizens the ability to communicate in a more organized way with fellow neighbors and city oficials. “I think it would appeal to a wide variety of people,” Boedigheimer said. Neighborhood associations could improve crime reporting, said Boedigheimer, and there’s a certain reluctance currently among Milton-Freewater residents to report crimes in real time. If police receive a tip even a day or two after a crime is committed, they become increasingly dificult to solve. Either Boedigheimer or another oficer would go to association meetings to educate the public about speciic laws and also train them how to watch for and report potential crimes. Neighbor- hood associations would have little to no impact on the city’s budget, just time requirements of city oficials to attend meetings, Boedigheimer said. “We really only have a few people who patrol the town and that’s only for a few hours,” councilman Jeff Anliker said. “To me it’s a good idea.” Shannon said the idea to bring the resolution before city council was formulated by the Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance. He added that the resolution simply enables, but doesn’t automatically create a neighborhood association in Milton-Freewater. Councilman Ed Chesnut asked Boedigheimer if he has any experience with neighborhood associations, to which Boedigheimer replied he doesn’t. In his nine years as police chief, no neighborhood associations have existed in Milton-Freewater. Residents will still have to take it upon themselves to create associa- tions. Associations would likely start small, divided into a few sections of the city, and get approved by city manager Linda Hall. Those present at Monday’s meeting were optimistic that the city council’s support will help get neighborhood associations started in Milton-Freewater. “We’re pretty excited about this,” Hall said. ——— Contact Will Denner at wdenner@ eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0809. BRIEFLY Pendleton School District sets registration dates PENDLETON — The Pendleton School District always encourages returning students to update their address and phone number, but this year is especially important because new boundaries were drawn for the district’s three elemen- tary schools.
