HERMISTON – Hermiston City Hall is almost complete. Assistant City Manger Mark Morgan said that an open house will happen sometime in October, but the exact date and time has not been set.

Right now, thoughts are turning to furnishing the building. Umatilla County Public Health Department will occupy part of the basement floor and their furniture has already been ordered.

“Ten new chairs, eight new sit/stand ergonomic desks, eight sets of drawers, and eight bookcases,” Board of Commissioners Chairman John Shafer listed. “Funds for this purchase would come from multiple programs in line with UCo Health.”

The health department is purchasing the furniture from Frazer Office Supply in Pendleton. The total amount is $17,171.04. The county is renting the space from the city of Hermiston.
