BY SEAN HART HERMISTON HERALD A hotel development on Highway 395 in Herm- iston may be one step closer to fruition after city offiicals reached an agreement with a proper- ty owner who objected to a street vacation request- ed by the potential devel- oper. According to informa- tion provided with the City Council agenda, City Manager Byron Smith entered an agreement with Rhonda Sallee that states Sallee Properties LLC will consent to the vacation of a portion of West Ridgeway Avenue adjacent to the company’s property, and portions of the vacated right-of-way will revert to ownership by Sallee Properties. The City Council will consid- er an ordinance enacting the street vacation under the terms of the agree- ment at its regular meet- ing at 7 p.m. Monday. During a public hearing on the issue, Sallee said the vacation would nega- tively impact the value of her property, and the city was legally required to pay for the damages if it CLARIFICATION In the article titled “THRIVE provides foster children with opportunities” in the Jan. 21 issue of the Hermiston +HUDOG WKH RUJDQL]DWLRQ LQ WKH VWRU\ ZDV LGHQWL¿HG VLP- ply as “Thrive.” The complete name of the organization is “Made to Thrive.” Corrections It is the policy of the Hermiston Herald to correct errors as soon as they are discovered.

Smith said he also attended three lo- cal service club meetings, and the Lions Club, whose president is the current elected judge and attor- ney Thomas Creasing, agreed the judge should be an elected attorney.
