he felt the League of Oregon
cities could give good help on
zoning. He proposed that the city
limits might follow the same
procedure as the county in put
ting up an interim planning ord
inance for a time before formally
adopting it to see how it worked
out.
In any event, a public hearing
would be necessary prior to pas
sage of the ordinance. Council
man Pfeiffer suggested that the
public should be consulted on
what it wanted in the way of
a zoning ordinance.
As proposed by Ayres the zon
ing committee would draw up a
suggested interim ordinance in
consultation with the city at
torney and make its recommen
dations at a coming meeting, af
ter which it would be modified,
adopted or rejected, both prior
to and after a public hearing.
Possibility of getting Federal
participation to share in the cost
was also voiced.
Jim Myers and Elvira Irby
were reappointed to the city bud
get committee at the meeting.
Others with unexpired terms on
the committee are Glen Ward,
Clint McQuarrie, Gone Pierce and
Pirl Howell. First meeting of the
committee is scheduled, for May
4 with an ensuing meeting to
be May 18. First publication of
the 1964-65 budget is dated May
28 and second publication June
4.
Building permits, all for alter
ations and repairs, were granted
as follows: Frank Adkins, 390
Union Ave., $6000; Max Schulz,
105 North Gale, $500; and Clay
ton Ayers, 575 S. Court, $1000.
Reporting on a request to in
stall a street light near the
county courthouse parking lot,
Councilman Ayres said the street
there is well illuminated. A light
would help illuminate the park
ing lot, but it was considered
that this is a matter for the
county to act upon, and so no
move was taken to install the
light.
Councilman Gonty suggested
the dip in the street at Willow
and Main, created sometime ago
to provide for water runoff, be
cut down to be made less severe.
City Superintendent Vic Grosh
ens was advised to check on the
matter and do the work if it is
feasible.
Councilman Rosewall said that
he had been checking for prop
erty as a possible location for a
new city dump but has been
Unsuccessful to date.
Council was advised that no
reply had been received from
owner of a lot adjacent to the
Morrow County Creamery, ask
ing that it be cleaned up. On
motion by Councilman Gonty,
Supt. Groshens was advised to
do the work with city employees
and cost be assessed to the prop
erty owner. The motion was ap
proved. Fire Chief Charles Ruggles
asked that a fire control button
be extended to Bill Farra's place
In order that he might sound
alarms when Ruggles was gone.
Cost is $10 for installation and
$2 per month for maintenance.
The request was approved.
