Pendleton looks to cut off public
records access from drone range
BY ANTONIO SIERRA
East Oregonian
SALEM — It could soon get
a lot harder to access public re-
cords from the Pendleton Un-
manned Aerial Systems Range.
State Sen. Bill Hansell,
R-Athena, has introduced a
bill that would exempt the city
of Pendleton from disclosing
records produced by the test
range if making them public
“would cause a competitive dis-
advantage to the test range or
its users.” The exemption cov-
ers a broad range of records,
“including but not limited to
pricing, intellectual property
and customer records.”
At a Feb. 11 Senate Commit-
tee on Labor and Business hear-
ing, Pendleton City Manager
Robb Corbett called passage
of the bill “crucial” before in-
troducing Steve Chrisman, the
city’s airport manager and eco-
nomic development director.
In his written and oral tes-
timony, Chrisman gave legis-
lators a brief overview of the
UAS range and its history.
Six years after it was estab-
lished, Chrisman said the UAS
range now supports about 75
jobs, conducts thousands of
drone tests per year, and pro-
duces millions of dollars worth
of economic activity.
Given the $20 million the
public has invested in the test
range at the city, state and fed-
eral levels, Chrisman said it
was in all Oregonians’ best in-
terest that the UAS range suc-
ceed. And if Oregon wanted
to see Pendleton succeed, city
officials maintain, then they
needed to let the range keep
some records under wraps.
As an example, Chrisman
pointed to Pendleton’s success-
ful recruitment of Airbus to the
UAS Range. He said the city
knew Airbus wanted to test its
Project Vahana air taxi concept
in Pendleton a year and a half
before Airbus went public with
an announcement in 2017, but
Airbus instructed staff to stay
quiet or it would test its drone
elsewhere. Airbus ceased test-

ing in Pendleton in 2019.
“This need for confidential-
ity is standard in the industry,
and the first thing prospec-
tive range users ask is for the
City to sign a nondisclosure
agreement (NDA),” he wrote
in his testimony. “Without
some assurance of protection
of their identity, activities, and
proprietary information, then
companies just simply will not
come to Oregon with this cut-
ting-edge technology. “
Chrisman added that the
other UAS test ranges in Or-
egon were either privately or
tribally owned, meaning Pend-
leton was the only range in Or-
egon that had to comply with
public records law.
While none of the com-
mittee members seemed op-
posed to the bill, some senators
pointed out that some of their
requests were already dupli-
cated by existing exemptions
and wanted to know what spe-
cifically the city wanted to pro-
tect from public disclosure.
Chrisman declined to delve
into specifics, but he did say
UAS companies wanted “peace
of mind” when looking to pro-
tect their information, some-
thing Senate Bill 315 would af-
ford them.
“I would prefer not to have
to get into the nuanced argu-
ments of law in the state of
Oregon, when I’ve got lots of
other competition that I’m

competing against in other
places,” he told the committee.
“I just want to get them to Or-
egon because I think it’s in the
best interest of Oregonians, if
we can get this industry, this
new and exciting technology,
to come to Oregon and we en-
joy the benefits of that.”
The city is also arguing that
the Oregon Legislature has
previously granted public re-
cords carve outs for other mu-
nicipal projects, like the Klam-
ath Regeneration Project in
Klamath Falls.
In an email, City Attorney
Nancy Kerns, who helped draft
the language of the bill, agreed
that the city could theoreti-
cally block any public records
disclosure related to the UAS
range as long as it could argue
that it could cause a competi-
tive disadvantage for the range
or its customers.
The only person to speak out
against the bill at the hearing
was Tom Holt, a lobbyist for the
Society of Professional Journal-
ists, who argued that the lan-
guage of the bill was too broad.
In an interview after the
hearing, Hansell said he be-
lieves the city is seeking the
public records exemption in
good faith, but because of the
SPJ’s concerns, he was encour-
aging the city to work with the
editors from the East Orego-
nian to come up with a com-
promise.
