PENDLETON â The Pendleton City Council is making some changes to its goals for the first time in four years, but tackling homelessness in the city wonât be one of them. The council met for a workshop on Tuesday, April 27, to discuss the results of a community survey that gauged what issues residents wanted the city to prioritize. In an interview after the meeting, Mayor John Turner said he was happy to see that 480 residents responded to the survey, a clear jump from the last time they solicited input on council goals in 2016 and only received about 250 responses. Respondents were shown a list of goals and asked to rate them on a scale from âextremely valuableâ to ânot at all valuable.â
