On this episode of the KUMA Coffee Hour, host Dan Thesman sits down with Pendleton City Manager Robb Corbett and Councilmember Ellie McBride to break down the latest decisions from the Pendleton City Council. The group discusses key updates on local public safety and infrastructure, including clarifications to the city’s burn ban ordinance, a cost-saving $385,000 ambulance remount and equipment replacement, and plans to bring the Fire/EMS levy back to voters this fall. They also dive into a crucial $303,000 assessment project for Pendleton’s aging 1960s river-crossing sewer mains, explain why the council paused its vote on the League of Oregon Cities’ legislative priorities to push harder for mental health and addiction resources, and wrap up with an exciting summer addition to Roy Raley Park — new pickleball courts.
