CITY COUNCIL council passed a letter of support for ODOT’s (Or- egon Department of Trans- portation) plan to chip seal Heppner’s Main Street next summer. The street is a state highway and therefore ODOT’s responsibility for upkeep. New striping will also be done at that time and Cutsforth said the angle of parking lines on the street will be changed at that time to make for easier parking. “There was a recom- mendation to change the parking spaces on Main Street from an 80 degree an- gle to 60 degrees,” accord- The View from the Green utility commission meeting. “This would improve vis- ibility, also this would help with the J-turn (U-turn) problem, as the new angle would make J-turn parking less accessible.” In other business the council: -Allowed WC con- struction to start work at 6 a.m. on the new courthouse building site instead of 7 a.m. The heat and a desire for construction workers to work four 10-hour days prompted the change. -Decided not to charge month fire flow charge if their water has been shut off. Business, and not resi- dential, are charged the extra water fee, and the city had been making that charge even if a business was shut down and the water turned off. Cutsforth said people were not only angry about the charge, but were refusing to pay since they were not receiving wa- ter service. She said there were, “four to five empty buildings and it’s not a big part of our budget” she told the council.
