A local community organization, Neighbors for a Better Pendleton, is urging the city of Pendleton to reject a proposed settlement in its lawsuit over its resting ordinance. The city aims to repeal and replace the ordinance to align with state laws, but the group believes this proposal goes beyond a simple update, committing the city to significant costs and obligations before residents have had time to evaluate its impact. The organization will attend the upcoming special meeting on June 29 and encourage all residents to participate in the public comment period.
