Golf Council approves neighborhood enhancement Library considers making a move By Becky Breazeale The Heppner City Council, at its August 9 meeting, approved a new neighborhood enhancement program. The program is being established to enhance public improvements and further beautification within the city. vOne example of how this project would work is the repair of damaged sidewalks. Damage is often a result of overgrown tree roots or normal wear and tear. If a property owner is found to have a damaged sidewalk, he or she will be able to have this repaired with the help of volunteers and city equipment. The homeowners would be responsible for obtaining the material needed to do the work, but the city will provide the equipment required and volunteers will do the actual’ replacement of the sidewalk. Also, the volunteers will be trained to use city equipment and the city will provide liability and worker's compensation insurance for all those that help. "Any repair work needed to the sidewalks is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. By utilizing this program, property owners can now have their sidewalks repaired for a modest cost," said Heppner City Manager Jerry Breazeale I For more information, call city hall at 676-9618. Gilbert Chavez, director of the Oregon Trail Library District, was present at the meeting to discuss the issue of moving the library to a larger facility. The prospect of building a new facility on the vacant lot located next to the Shoe Box was discussed. This property is presently owned by the city of Heppner. One idea was that this piece of property would house a two- story building that would be used by both the library and city hall. The current city hall is in need of costly repairs and the city of Heppner is weighing its options as to whether it would be more cost effective to upgrade the current facility or to build a new one. Chavez gave the council an estimated cost for this project at roughly $700,000 which would be financed through a combination of grants, gifts and loans. The estimated time frame for this project would be approximately three years. 1« pholo by Becky Breazeale Moving the library to this lot was discussed by the city P io n e e r M e m o ria l C lin ic ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ v ¥ “P ersonalized In d ivid u a l C a re ” Family Health Care Urgent Care for all ages Hypertension Disorders Women’s Health Services Diabetes Management for all ages Sports Physicals ¥ DOT Physicals M onday - Friday 9 a.m . to 5 p.m .
