A meet and greet is Thursday from 2:45-4:45 p.m., and attendees are asked to stay for the entire session to provide complete feedback to the district on anonymous comment cards. The finalists are Lisa Arriaga, Eric Fuchs, Christie Peterson and Stephanie Seals. Arriaga has been an elementary teacher, an English language specialist and instruc- tional coach and a testing facilitator/interventionist for the state of Wash- ington. She is currently the assistant principal at Sandstone Middle School, Hermiston. Fuchs has been an elementary teacher since 1998 and helped create a mentor program in the Newberg School District. Peterson is a school improvement coach for Education NW Network, and assistant professor at Corban University, an adjunct professor at George Fox University and an administrative consultant for the Office of Educational Improvement in the Oregon Department of Education. Seals has taught in both magnet and public schools and is an assistant middle school principal for Wichita Public Schools, Kansas. In a school district to the east, two local school administrators are finalists for the superintendent position in the La Grande School District, according to the La Grande Observer. Mike Kay, the operations director in Hermiston, and George Mendoza, the assistant superintendent for the Morrow County School District, are among five chosen for a final inter- view for the job. Kay has been in Herm- iston since 2004, first as the athletic director and for the past three years as the operations director. Mendoza has been in his position in Morrow County since 2011. Other candidates are La Grande High School principal Brett Baxter, Wallowa School District superintendent Bret Upmoor and Paul Peterson, the assistant superintendent of the education service district based in Hillsboro. The district and community will interview the candidates Monday, and the new hire will replace Larry Glaze when he retires at the end of the school year.

Tickets available at Heritage Station and at the door $25 / person, $120 / table of six By ANTONIO SIERRA East Oregonian The city of Pendleton could get tougher on blighted properties as soon as Tuesday. That’s the day the Pend- leton City Council will meet to discuss recommendations from the city’s housing committee to step up code enforcement. The committee’s five recommendations are to continue support of the fire department’s use of controlled burns to reduce weeds and fire hazards, better coordinate code enforcement efforts between departments, expand use of Umatilla County Commu- nity Corrections work crews to clean up properties, prompt actions like citations and liens against blighted property owners and hire a half-time employee to support the code enforce- ment officer. Mayor John Turner, the chair of the housing committee, said code enforcement officer Jennifer Etchamendy is over- whelmed by the number of incidents she responds to. According to a housing committee report, Etcha- mendy is responsible for enforcing more than 100 nuisance violations to the approximately 6,900 housing units in the city. From 2014 to 2016, code enforcement violations have risen 59 percent. Hiring a second code enforcement officer with a part-time salary will cost the city $25,500 per year. The cost of increasing clean-up activities and hiring commu- nity corrections crews are expected to be recovered from the fines assessed to property owners. Other issues on the council agenda include: • The council will consider raising its recre- ational vehicle parking rates at the Pendleton Convention Center parking lot from $12 per night to $25 for dry camping and $30 for electrical hook-ups. A city staff report states that Pat Beard of Travel Pendleton has heard complaints from local RV park owners that the city’s rates were well below the market rate. The report notes that although the parking lot is convenient for those who attend events at the convention center or Round-Up Grounds, it’s also without many of the amenities that other RV parks offer. The increased rates should double the amount of revenue the city gets per year from parking lot rentals, which has histor- ically ranged from $1,500 to $4,000 per year. • The council will hear a citizen recommendation to adopt a set of policies created by the American Civil Liberties Union that limits local police coopera- tion with federal immigra- tion enforcement After Shanidel Beers, a Pendleton resident repre- senting the ACLU, makes her presentation, the council will hear from Police Chief Stuart Roberts about the police department’s current practices and other issues relevant to the topic. • What’s missing from the agenda is an appeal hearing for the Pendleton Planning Commission’s approval of Thur’s Smoke Shop, a proposed recreational mari- juana store on Tutuilla Road. Julie Chase of the planning department said an applicant normally has 120 days before the city must make a final decision on a zoning application, but Thur’s owner Bryson Thurman waived the 120-day requirement, extending the city’s approval window to 365 days. The city now has until March 2018 to make a decision. Thurman encountered significant resistance from the neighborhood when the planning commission granted Thur’s a conditional use permit March 8, and several people who testified against Thur’s filed an appeal to send the issue to the council. Thurman has indicated that he intends to find a different location for Thur’s and could withdraw his original application The council will meet at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at city hall, 500 S.W.

Corrections The Hermiston City Council on Monday approved city staff to apply for grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration that would update the airport’s long-range development plan, not complete projects. The city’s contribution would be about $3,300. Incorrect information appeared in the article “Council postpones discussion about conference center,” (Page 3A, April 1).
