Joseph council appoints two planning commissioners
Wallowa County Chieftain
JOSEPH — Two of the
needed fi ve members on the
Joseph Planning Commis-
sion were appointed during
the Thursday, Aug. 18, City
Council meeting.
Approved for the commis-
sion were Benjamin Curry
and Whitney Freya.
Mayor Jamie Collier has
said in the past that the coun-
cil is eager to have a commis-
sion in place, particularly to
deal with issues such as the
urban growth boundary and
routine planning and zoning
issues. However, fi nding will-
ing volunteers has been a dif-
fi cult task.
The new City Administra-
tor Dan Larman said April 22
that the council is still seek-
ing applications for the other
three vacancies. Curry and
Freya, meanwhile, are simply
approved for the commission
until it is fully staff ed.
“These two people are
basically on standby,” Lar-
man said.
The council also is con-
sidering applications to fi ll a
vacancy among its member-
ship. Adam Sexton’s appli-
cation was considered at last
week’s meeting, but was not
acted upon, Larman said.
“They want a little more
time before they appoint” the
position, he said.
No other applications for
city councilor had come in
that Larman was aware of, he
said.
The council’s next meet-
ing will be Sept. 1. Larman
said several as-yet unresolved
issues are expected to be dealt
with at that meeting.
“Pretty much all of the hot-
ticket items are going to be
dealt with in the September
meeting,” he said.
One of those issues
includes the urban growth
boundary.
The council also:
• Approved a resolution
on revenue to be received
from the state.
• Approved a resolution to
amend the wastewater proj-
ect loan amount from $3.8
million to $5.2 million. Lar-
man said the large increase
was due to “a lot of sup-
ply-chain issues and a lot of
infl ation issues.”
• Heard department and
committee reports.
