The commission will consider accepting the credit line from Banner Bank at a meeting Tuesday. The commission has typically taken out large loans and paid them back with the revenue from the urban renewal district. As the district heads toward its end in 2023, the commission views borrowing money as it needs it as a more fiscally responsible method. Charles Denight, the associate director of the commission, explained how financing would work in a report to the commission. “Repayment can take place any time without penalty, which will effec- tively allow the PDC to operate nearly on a cash basis,” he wrote. “Currently the PDC has a cash reserve of over $1.1 million. When added to the approximately $800,000 in projected annual tax receipts, this means that the PDC can regularly repay any funds it withdraws from the credit line, minimizing interest expense for the financing.” After the commission meeting, its members will meet as the Pendleton City Council, where they will consider taking action on several issues relating to the recently passed $10 million fire station bond. The council will consider a $701,891 contract with the Mackenzie engineering firm of Portland to provide architectural designs and engineering services for the fire department’s new primary station at Southeast Court Avenue. Rather than waiting for the design process to end before soliciting bids to construct the station, Fire Chief Mike Ciraulo will also request that the council allow the city to begin looking for a contractor during the design process, an alternative method he believes will save the city money in the long run. In addition to the fire station, the bond also pays for new emergency equipment. The council will consider approving the purchase of three heart monitors from Zoll Corp. for $103,714 and a “Jaws of Life” extraction equipment from L.N. Curtis & sons for $27,530. The council could also take action on several other items on the agenda, including: • Staff will ask the council to keep it’s checkbook open to pay Anderson Perry & Associates up to $503,000 to collect data on the city’s street and stormwater systems. The data will be used to help develop a street management plan and a commercial and commercial and industrial stormwater utility fee. • After a delay at the last meeting, the council is scheduled to discuss an ordinance regulating mobile food vendors. The ordinance requires vendors to obtain city business licenses and provides general parameters where they can and can’t locate. • The council will also consider transferring a prop- erty it owns at 1103 S.E. Court Place to Domestic Violence Services. The city bought the property in 1991 to lease to Domestic Violence Services, but given the future maintenance needs of the property and the nonprofits expanded ability to apply for grants if its the property owner, city staff is open to offloading the property. • Toward the end of a loaded agenda, Steve Chrisman, airport manager and economic development director, will ask the council to approve a $77,516 for the Pendleton Unmanned Aerial Systems Range mission control room. The funds will come from a state grant used to build a new hangar at the airport. The commission meeting will be held at 6 p.m. and the council meeting at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be held inside council chambers at city hall, 500 S.W. Dorion Ave. COMING EVENTS TUESDAY, JULY 18 Contributed photo From July 26 through Aug. 2, the Whitman Mission National Historic Site will showcase a traditional southern Columbia Plateau long tent. Whitman Mission to showcase tribal long tent East Oregonian For a limited time, the Whitman Mission National Historic Site will be show- casing a traditional Long Tent used by tribes of the southern Columbia Plateau for large gatherings and ceremonial activities. The tent will be on display from July 26 through Aug. 2. The last time this style of tribal architecture was used in the Walla Walla Basin was, conceivably, sometime during the 1860s when the last remaining Cayuse people were forcibly removed from the area and placed on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. “It’s rare to see this type of Long Tent structure set up outside the reservation setting,” said Wes Jones, Cayuse tribal elder and member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. “I hope this exhibit will provide an oppor- tunity for the public to learn about the history of the Walla Walla Basin and the tribes associated with this area.” Jones will be supervising all phases of the tent’s plan- ning and construction, which will include 125 teepee poles and eight full-size canvasses. The tent will measure 65 feet long, 18 feet high and 25 feet wide. Whitman Mission National Historic Site is located seven miles west of Walla Walla off Highway 12.

Fire burns dry grass land, barn HERMISTON — A brush fire started by a lawn mower burned about 30 acres and a small barn Sunday in Hermiston. The fire started late Sunday morning between West Highland and Orchard avenues in an open field. According to a press release from the Umatilla County Fire District, the fire was sparked by a mower hitting something, and the operator was unable to control the fire in the high grass because of high winds. Flames were as high as 15 feet when firefighters arrived and the wind was blowing 10 mph, rapidly moving the fire. Firefighters from Echo, Umatilla and Boardman responded to help fight the fire, and Cascade Natural Gas, Umatilla Electric and local police agencies were also on scene. There was one wreck caused by a driver distracted by the fire. Traffic was closed on both Highland and Orchard for a time. Firefighters had the blaze under control by mid-afternoon.
