PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) – The Umatilla City Council appointed Daren Dufloth to be the city’s new mayor.
The East Oregonian reports Dufloth took up the gavel immediately after Tuesday night’s appointment and ran the meeting.
He replaces David Trott, who resigned in March because of irreconcilable differences with the council.
Dufloth has lived in the Eastern Oregon community for nearly two decades and owns a local strip club.
Dufloth told the council before his appointment that Umatilla’s greatest asset is its approachable and open residents, followed by its prime location along the Columbia River.
The council still must fill two open seats. One councilor resigned last month, citing health reasons.
Council president Mary Dedrick stepped down at the end of Tuesday’s meeting, saying she wanted to help revitalize Umatilla through other channels.

Right on Columbia River, close to that Pendelton, Kennwick, Richland area.
2 strip clubs, both on 6th street tuscl.net
6th st. = highway 730
Area looks friendly and homey.

This is probably 1501, right next to a motel, stripper shoe distance easily.
These clubs might have their limits, but easy to know the girls outside.

I've been to both clubs in Umatilla.
Looking at a map, that place is clearly a transportation junction. Seems like highways don't go where they need to, but that must be the rugged terrain. So as much as they can they go a long the river. Much traffic must go through that hub.
So it sounds like they want to make a vice zone. Strip clubs next to hotels is a great way to start. Now all the need are some robes for the girls to wear, for when you walk them across the parking lot to the hotel.
