The Boardman city
council held a hearing on
Aug. 7 to take comments
regarding a zone change
request by the Port of Mor-
row. The port plans to pur-
chase an 80.19 acre parcel
located along SE Front St.
The parcel is currently
a mixed zone of tourist
commercial, future urban
and manufactured home
park sub-district. The port
has requested to rezone
72.34 acres to general
industrial, 4.97 acres to
tourist commercial and
two acres to manufactured
home park sub-district, with
the remaining .87 acres for
dedicated rights-of-way.
Port of Morrow Exec-
utive Director Gary Neal
and County Commissioner
Don Russell spoke in favor
of the rezone. Both felt the
rezone would be good for
Boardman, economically.
Neal said there is a possi-
bility this property could
be included in an enterprise
zone, to encourage devel-
opment. No one spoke in
opposition to the rezone.
Councilors approved
the first reading of an ordi-
nance approving the rezone.
The second reading of the
ordinance and a decision on
the rezone is scheduled for
the Sept. 4 meeting.
In other city business,
councilors approved a com-
mercial liquor license for
Burnt Field, LLC. They
also approved the first read-
ing of an ordinance requir-
ing background checks
on all city employees and
volunteers. They passed
a resolution changing the
city’s fee structure for water
meter installations.
The next Boardman
city council meeting will be
Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. at
Boardman City Hall.

The Heppner youth
volleyball camp, for fourth
through eighth graders, is
