A10 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2016 COMMUNITY Urban renewal grant helps move RoeMarks renovation along By JADE McDOWELL Staff Writer A grant from the Hermiston Urban Renewal Agency will help put the top loor of the former RoeMarks building to use again. The agency, which is comprised of the members of the Hermiston City Council, voted to award Sim- mons Insurance Group a $10,000 facade grant to put windows into the second story on the eastern por- tion of the property and make other small exterior enhancements. Clint Spencer, city planner, said the window project will cost about $21,000 in total because the boards in the exterior window holes are covering a load-bearing cement wall, meaning the company can’t just replace them with glass. The RoeMarks building is actu- ally two separate properties at 201 and 203 E. Main St., so Spencer said Simmons Insurance Group is interested in eventually applying for another facade grant to put in windows on the western side too. Assistant City manager Mark Morgan said putting windows in the upper loor will make it more attractive ofice space and add val- ue to the urban renewal district by improving one of its only sec- ond-story properties. “We’re making sure all of the downtown buildings are utilized to their fullest extent,” he said. Simmons Insurance Group pur- chased the RoeMarks buildings in May after it sat empty for four years. They plan to move their of- ices into the eastern portion once renovations are inished and are looking to lease out the western side on the corner of Main Street and Second Street to a cafe, winery or other business. During their regular City Coun- cil meeting earlier in the night, the council approved a reinance of the bond that formed Hermiston Ener- gy Services in 2005. The reinance will save the city $2.66 million in interest payments. The city also saved an addition- al $1.136 million after the council voted to change the bonds’ backing from an insurance model to the full faith and credit of the city. HES Su- perintendent Nate Rivera told the council that he had worked with legal council to determine that the move would not have any effect on the city’s credit rating or its ability to borrow in the future. He said the turbulent effect of Great Britain’s exit from the Eu- ropean Union on the markets was working in the city’s favor because people were rushing to buy rela- tively safe municipal bonds. As part of the reinance Hermis- ton Energy Services will build $4.5 million in additional construction funds into the bond issuance. That money will go to upgrades includ- ing a new substation and smart me- ters that will automatically notify crews when the power goes out in a portion of town. Rivera said the new 20-year bond issuance will be about $14.25 million total. Hermiston school board member resigns, leaves vacancy By ALEXA LOUGEE Staff Writer The Hermiston School Board met Monday evening and discussed the resigna- tion of Maria Duron from the board.
