Heppner Council tables request to support county
road levy; takes no action on street closure request,
nuisance cat ordinance
-Continued from page one
Street’s sharp corner at the
intersection of Stansbury is
scheduled to be straightened
by the state in 2009. ODOT
may be willing to do the
work on closing Stansbury
and extending Elder at that
tim e, T h om pson said.
"ODOT does not like the
way Stansbury comes up to
the highway on the corner,”
Thompson said.
The
co u n cil
discussed other options than
closing the road, including
putting stop signs in the
middle of the Stansbury as
was done in the past, to
closing off the street during
school hours.
S ev eral
co u n cil
m em bers and M ayor Les
Paustian said they would be
in favor of the city manager
looking into the project if it
did not involve the city
spending money. “We don’t
want Dave DeM ayo (city
m anager) getting tied up
with a lot of time in this, and
we d o n ’t w ant to get
involved if this is going to
cost money. The city is not
in any position to give any
m oney to th is p ro je c t,”
Paustian said.

DeMayo said the city may be
responsible for maintenance

that the bridge was built by
the co unty at the c ity ’s
request. He said Kirk Street
was never vacated by the
city. “I don’t know how we
can avoid not working on
this,” he said. He told the
council the bridge had four
steel I-beams but needed
new surfacing and curbing to
keep someone from driving
off the edge into the creek.
He estimated the cost to he
around $5,000. The council
took no action but members
agreed to look at the bridge
and discuss at next month’s
meeting.
The council was also
presented with a proposed
cat ordinance that would be
used to co n tro l the cat
