FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 10, 2018 There may not be enough money to do all 10 streets. “I don’t want people to as- sume all ten are going to be taken care of,” Mayor Cody High emphasized. He said they would work on the streets until the money runs out, and it was specu- lated that actually Gale and Chase streets would “eat up” a good portion of the money. On the Gale Street proj- ect there will not only be new asphalt but also storm drains, sidewalks and a new sewer main. The city will have to pay for the new sewer line on Gale, and it was discussed now would be the time to fix other street’s water and sewer lines, while the streets are torn up. “We don’t want to put in a new street and then come back and have to dig it up to put in utilities,” High said. Barry agreed, “Once you put the mat down (street asphalt) you don’t want to cut it because that keeps water out of the base,” he explained. Barry gave an explana- tion for why so many of the city streets seem to be falling in disrepair all at the same time. He said during the 1980s and early 1990s there was timber being cut and the city was receiving The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office has released the following information: December 12 (cont): found a shotgun in the Mother and four puppies are loose and running to- Morrow County Sheriff’s Three Mile Canyon area. -MCSO received a re- wards Green Acres.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum has resolved two lawsuits she brought on behalf of Oregon natural persons against certain manufacturers of liquid crystal display (“LCD”) flat panels and cathode ray tubes (“CRTs”). The lawsuits allege the manufacturers illegally agreed upon the pricing of LCD flat panels and CRTs. Oregon has settled with all defendants for a total of $36,900,000 (“Settlement Fund”), and you may be entitled to a portion of the Settlement Fund. Who Is Included? Natural persons who indirectly purchased at any time during the years 2002 to 2006, for their own use and not for resale, LCD panels incorporated into flat panel TVs, computer monitors or laptop computers; or who indirectly purchased at any time during the years 1995 to 2007, for their own use and not for resale, CRTs incorporated into TVs or computer monitors. A purchaser must have been an Oregon resident at the time of the purchase. An indirect purchaser is someone that purchased products containing LCD flat panels or CRTs from someone other than the company that manufactured the LCD flat panel or CRT component, such as from an electronics retailer or a device manufacturer other than one of the Defendants. “Natural persons” means a human, not a business.

Sykes told the council that he and WC- VEDG Executive Director Sheryll Bates have also met with representative from the State of Oregon to discuss its involvement in the housing project. The state apparently recognizes a state-wide problem of work force (not low in- come) rental unit shortage in rural communities, and is reaching out to find pilot projects to assist with. WC- VEDG’s project is now un- der consideration to be used as one of the pilot projects, so there may be some state assistance available. Sykes said looking into the future, if the current duplex project is successful WCVEDG may try to replicate the process and develop addi- tion rental housing units. He said the inventory land study would be valuable in this effort by identifying possible building sites, and urged the council to support McLane’s efforts. McLane said the entire land inventory study would cost $45,000 and that the county, cities of Irrigon, Boardman and Ione have already committed funding. The council said it would discuss the plan and make a decision later. In other reports the council heard from Fire Chief Rusty Estes who gave the following yearly totals of activity in 2017: 31 motor vehicle ac- cidents, 32 times secured the helicopter landing zone, 13 wildland fires, four flue fires, six structure fires, 14 ambulance assistance, nine false alarms, two rescues, one haystack fire, one ex- plosion, and four vehicle fires. They also gave as- sistance four times to Ione Fire Department, one each to Gilliam County, Herm- iston and Lexington. He reported in total there were 127 fire department page outs in 2017.

When that money dried up it became more difficult for small Oregon towns to maintain their streets. He said the money that is coming from the state now should help Hepper catch up.

Church – Between Gale and Main for curb- gutter drainage. 4. Summit Drive – overlay 5. Willow View – Chip seal, crack sealing from water street to high school 6. South Main – to the bridge patching 7. Morgan – to top of hill with sidewalks to Riv- erside 8. Willow – Gale to Main St. 9. Jones St In other business the council heard from Mor- row County Planner Carla McLane who asked if the city would be willing to help fund a survey to cata- log the available land for housing construction, and also look at the city’s build- ing codes to make sure they are “user friendly.” McLane said other communities in the county are helping financially and the study would be county wide. McLane said there is a housing shortage all across south county and the inven- tory and study may help ease the housing pinch. She pointed out the Willow Creek Valley Economic De- velopment Group’s efforts to develop more housing. WCVEDG president David Sykes told the council the group was getting close to moving forward on a duplex project that could be built in Heppner. Land has been made available, around 720 am.
