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. Dorion
Ave.

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). The East
Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely
regrets any errors. If you notice a mistake in the paper,
