PENDLETON â Thanks to the most recent round of federal stimulus, the city of Pendletonâs budget is likely to rise again this year despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
The city has proposed that the 2021-22 general fund, the cityâs only discretionary fund that pays for services like police, firefighters and parks, be set at $20.3 million, a 14% increase from the previous fiscal year. The cityâs total budget â proposed at $105.2 million â also represents a slight increase from the prior year.
City Manager Robb Corbett attributed much of the growth to the $3.4 million Pendleton expects to receive from the American Rescue Plan Act, the $1.9 trillion federal government stimulus bill meant to provide economic relief to people and entities affected by COVID-19.
PENDLETON â Pendletonâs cut of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act hasnât dropped into its account yet, but the cityâs various tourism interests were already ready with a presentation.
Dubbed âPendleton Comes Alive,â the plan called for the city to use $250,000 from Pendletonâs federal stimulus payment to boost the local tourism industry. Led by Pendleton Economic Development Director Steve Chrisman, including representatives from the Pendleton Convention Center, the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce and the Pendleton Round-Up Association, the group thinks it can help the cityâs tourism recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by creating new initiatives like horse and buggy rides and sending people dressed in Western garb downtown to interact with tourists.
