Rivera said at the May 23 workshop that model was not sustainable. He also said that Hermiston Energy Services needed extra funds to make capital improve- ments, including a new $1 million substation called Hermiston East that should help reduce power outages in the city and get customers back online faster if they do occur. Rivera also wants to institute “smart meters” that would tell HES as soon as the power goes out and allow the utility to automati- cally collect detailed reports of customers’ energy usage without sending a meter reader door to door. ment overlay on North First Place between Elm Avenue and Harper Road. The budget also includes a 2.5 percent raise for employees, $130,000 for the West Highland Trail extension between River- front Park and 11th Street, $70,000 for a city bus to start a Dial-a-Ride program, $75,000 to repaint the water tower with Hermiston’s new “Where Life is Sweet” brand and $25,000 to implement the brand on city vehicles, signs, letterheads and other materials. Council John Kirwan said he felt that city staff had done a good job in educating the council in the months leading up to the new budget, so that when they reviewed it with the PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX AM June 14, 2016 Movies 6:30 AgDay Friends Good Day Oregon at 6 News News KOIN 6 News at 6 a.m. Wake Up Northwest KGW News at Sunrise Northwest Northwest KATU News Morning Stretch W.L.Yoga (31) KTNW (59) OPB 13 Sit and Fit Jet Go! 11 KPTV 3 (19) KEPR 2 KOIN 19 (25) KNDU 6 KGW 8 (42) KVEW 4 KATU 5 (11) KFFX 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 Zoo Clues Paid The Office Paid Good Day Oregon CBS This Morning (N) CBS This Morning (N) Today Show (N) Today Show (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Wild Kratts Jet Go!

On Monday the council also approved a fee increase for towing and storage of vehicles impounded by Hermiston Police Depart- ment. Assistant city manager Mark Morgan said the last time the rates were adjusted was 1993. The rates were increased from $100 to $150 for towing. City impound fees remain at $50, but vehicle storage fees were raised from $10 per day to $35 per day for outdoor storage and $50 per day for indoor storage when police have an interest in preserving evidence. ——— Contact Jade McDowell at jmcdowell@eastorego- nian.com or 541-564-4536. 9:30 Mother Paid Good Day Meredith Vieira Let's Make a Deal Today Show II (N) Today Show II (N) Live!

The budget is about $14 million smaller than the current iscal year’s budget, thanks to a combination of accounting changes and the spending down of funds for several large projects, including the Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center. One of the city’s big spending projects for 2016- 2017 is the Harkenrider Center, which the city plans to start building downtown in the fall to replace the current Hermiston Senior Center. The city is using a $2 million Community Development Block Grant from the state and has approved the addition of Tuesday Morning PBS John Day city oficials, list accusations that Palmer put the county at risk through of his association with the militants, that he’s a law enforcement “security leak” and that he has improperly deployed civilian deputies. Palmer and Undersheriff Zach Mobley didn’t return telephone messages or respond to written questions. On Friday, Mobley’s attorney didn’t address the questions but wrote that “Mobley’s reputation is very important to him personally, and also is vital to his ability to work in his profession.” Police records, video and audio recordings and dispatch logs show that Jim Koitzsch, 57, was at home with his two dogs, watching television, when the gunire started. A neighbor heard it, too. Koitzsch had stepped onto the front porch of his isolated Grant County home the evening of Jan. 26, 2015, to see who was shooting. Out of the dark, he said, a round whizzed past his head. “I almost got hit,” Koitzsch told the dispatcher, according to a recording. “I need an oficer up here.” Mobley, with the sheriff’s ofice since 2006, responded to the call, telling dispatchers he knew the people along the gravel lane that threads up a small canyon on John Day’s west side. Just four homes line Terrance Road. Recorded on police video, a shaken Koitzsch described the shots — four, a pause, and then four or ive more. He pointed up the hill toward the house across the road as the source. He said he couldn’t see anybody. “Are you’re absolutely positive it came from right here?” Mobley asked, gesturing toward the home. “100 percent,” Koitzsch responded. It was the home of Terry and Leann Coalwell. Leann Coalwell is the sister of Mobley’s wife. As he responded to the call that evening and before meeting Koitzsch, Mobley talked by phone to his 15-year-old niece, who told him she had heard no shots, according to the deputy’s report. After questioning Koitzsch, Mobley excused himself to talk to a neighbor who heard the shots. But before reaching the neighbor or going to the Coalwell house, Mobley called Palmer. According to his written report, Mobley told the sheriff that only kids were home at the Coalwells, though he didn’t say how many or their ages. He said they didn’t have access to guns, which were kept in a safe. His report doesn’t say how he established this. “Sheriff Palmer told me to go ahead and arrest Mr. Koitzsch,” Mobley wrote in his report. “I told Sheriff Palmer that I was checking with him because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a conlict since the Coalwells are my family.” He would later arrest Koitzsch for initiating a false report, a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to a year in jail. Despite the arrest approval, Mobley still interviewed the neighbor, Dorothy Thexton, 66. He didn’t tell her he intended to arrest Koitzsch on an accusa- tion of fabricating the “shots ired” incident. On police video, Thexton echoed Koitzsch’s account — a series of gunshots that seemed to come from the Coalwell property. Her grandson chimed in, saying it sounded like a rile. “Like a machine gun?” Mobley asked. The grandson said yes, and mimicked the sound as Mobley continued recording. Mobley recounted in his report his conversation with Thexton but didn’t mention the grandson or his account. He told Thexton he was going to the Coalwell home. When she said she didn’t know the deputy, he responded, “I’m Deputy Mobley.” “Are you their broth- er-in-law?” Thexton asked. “Yeah,” Mobley responded. “Holy crap,” she said. In his report, Mobley wrote that he next went to the Coalwell home and interviewed his niece. He reported that she said no one had been shooting, no guns were out, and all the guns were in the safe. He later told Koitzsch he personally checked the safe and found it locked. He did the questioning and the safe inspection in about two minutes, according to the dispatch logs and the police video. He didn’t include a video of that interview in his oficial report, though he had recorded the interviews with Koitzsch and Thexton with a body camera. His report makes no mention of entering the Coalwell home or verifying the gun safe was locked. “To hide the fact that his relatives were allowing their minor children to have access to loaded irearms while home alone, Deputy Mobley arrested and jailed an inno- cent man,” Rogoway said in a notice iled with Grant County that she intended to seek damages. In the later settlement, Palmer, Mobley and the county all denied any liability. Koitzsch spent the night in jail, and three days later the local prosecutor said there was no case. District Attorney Jim Carpenter cited Thexton’s statement in deciding not to prosecute Koitzsch. “It is clear that shots were ired in the area, which is what Koitzsch reported,” Carpenter wrote in a memo to Palmer. “Investigations of rela- tives and close friends will be reviewed with a skeptical eye,” Carpenter wrote. “Every precaution should be taken to avoid this situation.” CABLE Continued from 1A 12 AM 12:30 1 AM 1:30 2 AM 2:30 3 AM 3:30 4 AM 4:30 5 AM 5:30 AngerM. :35 Hot In :05 CR TV Featuring a selection of products and services.
