The project is expected to be completed by the third week of October, which has generated excitement for the future of the local golf course.

In addition to project updates, the meeting highlighted an upcoming community event, Quail Fest, scheduled for Saturday. This festival aims to showcase Eastern Oregon's local culture, featuring food, vendors, and musicians. Attendees can purchase tickets at the door, and organizers encouraged community participation.

Council member Roger announced a meeting on September 18 at the library to discuss developments related to Lube, Oregon's border. He also raised concerns about a hazardous chunk of concrete near city hall, attributed to tree roots, which will require assessment and potential repair by the city manager.

Larry inquired about the status of the quiet zone, to which it was reported that there have been no recent updates. However, support from Senators Markley and Wyden has been noted, which may expedite the process.

Lastly, Ellen expressed her intention to create a newsletter to keep the community informed about local news, emphasizing a straightforward approach without political content. The meeting concluded with a focus on community engagement and ongoing infrastructure improvements.
