PENDLETON â For the next few months, Pendleton City Councilor Dale Primmer will represent his constituents from a bare piece of dirt. For several months after that, his official place of residence for holding his Ward 3 seat will be uninhabitable. Primmerâs new setup comes after the Pendleton City Council unanimously voted Tuesday, April 6, to allow him to use the undeveloped site where he intends to build his home as his place of residence until he can move to the location. Primmer explained to the council that he recently purchased bare land in Ward 3, which encompasses the entirety of the city south of Interstate 84, with the intention of building a new home for him and his wife.
