she said. “I’d like to see the busi-

and contribute more to the commu-

more collaborative

community.”

to council meet-
ings or to stop into
City Hall to either contribute or see
what the city can do to help.
“We just want to be as support-
ive as possible,” Sullivan said.
“We’re more than willing to help.”
As for the pandemic, she
believes the city is on track, but
is eager to see related restrictions
end.
“Hopefully we can get a han-
dle on COVID and not have our
businesses suff er as they have for
the past couple of years,” she said.
“Enterprise is doing exactly what
we should be doing. We’ve been
doing it so long it’s important to
keep in mind the mental health of
the community. It’s fatiguing. …
We want to keep people safe, but at
the same time allow people some
freedom.”

ing curbside and home delivery.”
Vaccination against the virus
was another issue Nash addressed.
“We have one of the highest
vaccination rates of any frontier
county in the state,” he said. “Peo-
ple remained respectful of personal
decisions.”
Overall, the county residents
have hung together, the commis-
sioners said.
The commissioners don’t take
credit for the county’s eff ective
response to the pandemic, but try
to give credit to where it’s due.
“(We) would like to thank the
health care workers and our own
emergency services director for
taking the lead on COVID,” Hill-
ock said.
“This county kept working, liv-
ing and dying, rejoicing, encourag-
ing and mourning,” Nash agreed.
Enterprise
The cities, too, have their focus
set on 2022.
Enterprise Mayor Ashley Sulli-
van, after her fi rst year in offi ce, is
largely focused on improving the
climate for businesses to operate in
the city.
“I hope to see more businesses
open up and more new businesses,”
Joseph
Joseph Mayor Lisa Collier was
upbeat after a 2021 that was chaotic
in City Hall with the resignation of

the city administrator and a coun-
cilwoman surrounded by accusa-
tions of harassment. Joseph’s for-
mer mayor also resigned after
moving. Collier is now optimistic
that the city government is on the
right track.
“We will con-
tinue to develop
continuity between
staff and council-
ors, for the better-
ment of our cit-
izens,
business

owners and visi-
tors,” Collier said.
“We will continue to update and
strengthen our policies, proce-
dures, ordinances and goals to con-
duct municipal business in today’s
world with our citizens and busi-
ness owners at the forefront.”
She also said eff orts to replace
former
Administrator/Recorder
Larry Braden are underway.
“We are lucky to be led by our
pro-tem Administrator Brock Eck-
stein,” Collier said. “He is knowl-
edgeable and backed by years of
city administrative experience,
plus, he’s just a great guy. His
expertise regularly shines through.
He has proven himself to be strong,
stable and consistent. The search
for a new city administrator has
begun, but we are taking our time
and doing it right. They have pretty
big shoes to fi ll.”
The mayor also said she looks
forward to the planned ramp proj-
address, such as

enforcement
to
address complaints
of speeding through town.
In the coming year, Hulse said,
he hopes the city can:
• Assist with establishing Wal-
lowa Memorial Hospital and
Winding Waters health clinics.
• Assist Wallowa schools with
funding and building a skate park.
• Improve sewer and water sys-
tems in conjunction with engineers
of record.
• Explore bank branch, hardware
store and other business opportuni-
ties to establish in Wallowa.
• Explore possibilities to expand
housing and business opportunities
and options.
• Upgrade bathrooms at city
parks.
• Work with ODOT to improve
traffi c safety on Highway 82/Main
Street, improve handicap curb
access on Main Street, close off
Ellen Street to minimize traffi c
congestion, add lights at the school
crosswalk and install better traffi c
lines to impede speeding.
ect on Joseph’s Main Street to
have the Oregon Department of
Transportation upgrade them in
accordance with Americans with
Disability Act standards and still
have them “maintain our beauty
and special feel of Joseph’s Main
Street.”
She invited anyone with ques-
tions or concerns to contact her or
City Hall.
Collier also said she believes
Joseph has done a good job of sur-
viving the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Moving into 2022, we need to
be kind and compassionate with
each other,” she said. “While it’s
true that we need to move forward
with business, we need to treat
people with care. We have all been
through a lot — noticeably or not.
Our relationships with our people
matters very much.”
In general, Collier said, Joseph
is on a positive track.
“I feel really good about the tra-
jectory of the city,” she said. “We
are heading in a great direction
with good things ahead.”
Wallowa
Wallowa Mayor Gary Hulse
also expressed his thoughts and
hopes for the new year. While there
are projects to work on, he said,
“All things considered, Wallowa is
doing well. We want to keep Wal-
lowa, Wallowa.”
