The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, February 2, 1978 THREE Planning hearing. Continued from page 1 blem," Steele commented, "We'd ; obviously have to change our maps." ! After the meeting, Steele said, "I'm not a dam man... but for a community like Heppner, I think it's the only logical way to go." Barrett said he hadn't reviewed information on the Willow Creek Dam proposal before the hearing, adding "I thought it was a dead issue." Most of the hearing was devoted to discussion of Hepp ner's flood plain and related topics, with attention even tually directed by Heppner Planning Commission mem bef Irene Anhorn to consider ation of the actual comprehen sive draft plan. ECOAC Planner Marie Hall said the question to consider is how much land is needed for future growth, with only slow growth projected for Heppner. She pointed out that land to the north and west of town was chosen to be included in a proposed expansion boundary because it was out of the flood plain, fairly level and had road access. Hall said an expansion boundary could easily be changed to an urban growth boundary, which en closes land that can be annexed, either before or after the final comprehensive plan Fair Board names Rodeo Committee The Morrow County Fair Board this week announced appointments to the new Rodeo Committee which will stage a jackpot rodeo for the first time this year and be responsible for rodeo related events. Lee Ansotegui of Heppner was named chairman of the committee with Dennis Doherty acting as secretary. Others appointed to the Rodeo Committee include: Dance Director, Bruce Bergstrom; Court, Rocky Proctor; Livestock, Ed Martin; Race, John Keane; Crounds, Max Hellberg; Promotion and Prizes, Marsha Matthewson; and Tickets, Pafking and Concessions, Morrow County Chamber of Commerce. BEE for the city was adopted. Fred Hoskins of Heppner, landowner in the proposed expansion boundary, asked if he could be forced by the city or neighbors to be annexed against his will. The answer was no. Ed Gonty of Heppner asked why land to the east of Heppner was not considered for the expansion or urban growth boundary. Hall replied there might be difficulty with road access and sewer service in that area. She said the 12 per cent steep slope area designated on the map did not mean that there could be no construction in the area, but only that special engineering attention had to be given to such building projects. "The most important con straints limiting growth, more than the comprehensive plan, are sewer and water service," Hall said. No decisions were made at the public hearing, held for informational and public com ment purposes. Hall said a meeting would be scheduled sometime in February with the planning ommission and city council to formally approve the draft plan, including whatever changes were desired. BBS?

The move will enable Men tal Health Services staff to provide north Morrow County residents with the same full service care available at the Heppner office on W. Willow Street. While physicians con tinue to hammer out their differences before occupying the rest of the clinic, the Mental Health portion will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Committee recommends parking meter removal Parking meters are out and tire chalking is in. That's the recommendation the city streets and parks committee will present to the Heppner City Council Tuesday after discussing the parking situa tion in a meeting Monday in City Hall. "Do we or do we not want to replace the meters?, was the question posed by Larry Mills, who chairs the committee which includes himself, War ren Plocharsky and Hubert Wilson. Plocharsky was ab sent from the session but councilmen Jim Rogers, Bob Jones and Cliff Green sat in, and the sentiment was unani mous the meters should go.

Mental Health Services has been operating in Boardman on a limited basis since September, 1976, in a small Nelson Square office. Hours were extended in July of last year but lack of space still restricted the services pro vided. New facilities include a reception room and a consul tation room large enough to accomodate entire families. Other services such as bio feedback training will also be offered. ey for maintainence, the condition of the city's 100 meters has deteriorated stea dily. So many of the meters are in need of repair that for the past four months, they have not been checked for violations. Police Chief Dean Gilman demonstrated how one of the meters taken off Main Street was so worn out that it allowed a full two hours parking for a penny, instead of the intended 12 minutes. Last year the city collected $2,378 from the meters but had to shell out $1,056 in maintenance and labor. Gilman estimated it would take $8,000 to replace the meters.

"I feel that this (the removal) is what's coming and I don't think there will be any opposition from the mer chant's committee." Peterson said. "But our biggest pro blem is the merchants and their employees who use the parking spaces on Main Street." Gilman replied that the removal would be for the benefit of the merchants and added, "I don't see why they can't enforce the parking of their own employes." He said there were 108 available off-street parking spaces in the downtown area.
