Planning hearing.

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.

Mental Health Services
Boardman office
Morrow County Mental
Health Services has stepped
up its activities in the Board
man area with a recent move
to new facilities in the
Boardman Medical Clinic.
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.
Because the strained city
budget could provide no mon
commitment

The clinic is located at 203
Kinkade Ave., SW.
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.

meeting and agreed with the
opinion of the councilment.
"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.
