You have three minutes to address the council. If we can address or solve it or talk about it this evening, we will. If not, we'll turn it over to staff, and they will discuss and figure out what next steps might be. I only have one card right now and that's Mr. Tate to talk about 2026 budget concern.

Good evening, sir.

Thank you, Mayor Hobson and members of the City Council. My name is David Tate, resident of Canby and a member of the Canby Budget Committee. As we begin the twenty six-twenty seven budget review, I want to raise a concern about a potential funding opportunity for the Camby City of the Camby Police Department that I believe would negatively impact the livability of our community. The illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996, section two eighty seven gs authorizes ICE to delegate state and local law enforcement officers to perform specified immigration functions under ICE direction and oversight. According to a May 5 news article published by NPR, while this program has existed for decades, what is new is that now ICE is offering and promising local law enforcement agencies $100,000 for new vehicles and tens of thousands of more in equipment.

Additionally, they will reimburse salaries and benefits of officers, including bonuses for finding undocumented people similar to a bounty hunt program. Let's be clear, this money is not for criminal law enforcement. This money is specifically for a local law enforcement agency to enforce civil, not criminal, but civil immigration law. Recipients of these grant monies pledge that local law enforcement will act as agents of ICE. At the beginning of the current administration, there were 135 agencies participating in these programs.

There are now over 1,700 nationwide. Proponents of these grants say that they will make communities safer, but that is simply not true. The Camden Police Department must remain focused on fighting and reducing crimes, that is enforcing state statutes and municipal ordinances. It should not

be

distracted into chasing civil law. Although the Budget Committee has not seen the proposed twenty twenty six-twenty seven budget, it does take it doesn't take much imagination to know that things are going to be tight. There have been conversations at both the budget committee and city council level that can be needs to look for new revenue sources to supplement our current tax and feed revenues. I'm here to state unequivocally that these February gs grants are not a solution for the Kambi's budget concerns. I would ask that the City Council pass a resolution that would clearly state that the Kambi Police Department not apply for any grant money that requires a section two eighty seven partnership with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that the city of Camby not enter into any such partnerships.

I've never witnessed a department head come to a budget committee or city council meeting seeking permission to apply for a grant, and therefore I believe it is important to seek permission or I believe it is important action to prevent the negative impact on our communities that these types of grants would create. Thank you for your time and your your consideration, and then I will see you all next week as we start next year's budget.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir. I will say so a couple of things. One, yes, to your budget comment. It is gonna be tight, and, mister Healy and I have had a number of conversations over the last couple weeks just about that. Based on the budget piece and what you're talking about today, there is nothing in the budget of any of those grants being sought after or being looked at from the city of Canby.

That's number one. Number two, our position has always been that our police department is not helping ICE in any regards. That has been a state state mandate and a state statute, again, that with the state being a sanctuary state, we just are not privy to that, not willing to step out and support and help ICE in those regards because there's a lot of ramifications to our police department from a certification process that would impact us doing that as the governor has laid out. So I can say for certain that those will be grants that we will not be going after for that. I appreciate you bringing that up and it is a very, very watched and, hard topic, in a lot of communities.

Thank you for that.

Thank you. Yep.

Am I do we have anyone online for comment this evening?

No. We do not.

Okay. Great. Next on our agenda is proclamations and special presentations, and we have both tonight. So first is a proclamation and presentation for the historic preservation month. Whereas established in 1973 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, historic preservation month promotes historic places for the purpose of instilling national and community pride, promoting heritage tourism and showing the social and economic benefits of historic preservation.

Whereas the city of Canby recognizes May as historic preservation month and reports pardon me, and supports activities in the community to instill awareness and to promote our community's historic assets. Whereas nonprofit heritage organizations and their volunteers, including the Mark Prairie Historical Society and the Camby Heritage and Landmark Commission are the backbone of Camby's historic preservation work. And whereas the Mark Prairie Historical Society under the project leadership of Peggy Sigler and a dedicated board of directors has been awarded a '20 2025 Restore Oregon DeMoro Award and the 2026 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award for the restoration of the 1879 Mark Prairie School and aft Mark Prairie School after it was severely damaged in the two thousand twenty one ice storm. Now, therefore, I, Brian Hodson, by the virtue of the authority vested me as the mayor of the city of Camby, do hereby proclaim May 2026 as historic preservation month, and I further call upon members of this community to join me in commemorating this event by, one, participating in the May night market, which will focus on Camby's historic sites, and two, congratulating two local heritage volunteers recognized by Oregon Parks and Recreation's Heritage Organization, miss Judy Oz of the Mark Prairie Historical Society, and mister Ron LeBlanc of the Camby Heritage and Landmark Commission, as well as Peggy Sigler of the Mary Mark Prairie Historic Society and her project leadership of the Mark Prairie School Restoration, a two time state award winner given under my hand this sixth day of May two thousand twenty six.

And I think we've got some people and accolades to throw out. Yes. Absolutely. I think we have some other Yes.

The state award.

And now this is pretty amazing. Carol, do you want to talk a bit about this?

I think Peggy does.

Well,

Peggy. I will be happy to. Okay. First of all, I'm gonna have some notes. So thank you for recognizing the preservation of the school house and the contributions of our local heritage volunteers here tonight.

As you said, the destructive twenty twenty one ice storm, we saw how much damage to the trees can do when they're encased in ice and they smashed our own building. We were originally told it would take one year and $200,000 to restore. That actually took us more than four years and $1,200,000 to restore. We have $850,000 in donations, grants and insurance, and the rest was generously donated in time. Mark Prairie Circle Society is proud of more than 60 contractors, craftsmen and suppliers, more than 7,000 volunteer hours, 35 grant requests, and scores of generous donors would persevere through the rough patches to complete this iconic restoration.

In May 2025, so a year ago now, we celebrated with the grand opening. Today, the school house is available at the public as a community hall. We invite you to host your next event in the country at March 30 School House. And I urge each of you to actively advocate for for preservation and heritage promotion in county, our county, and our state. In Oregon, our history is young.

Our preservation politics are fickle, and there's always another cause in these dollars. But the moments to protect our protect our past are fleeting. Collectively, our voices must continue to seek authenticity, funding, staffing, and laws that provide protection. Once gone, be it a unique building, an archaeological office site, or primary source document, our history along with its. You are actively needed to help preserve our history. I will point out too that I think our first proclamation for the city of San Francisco Preservation Month was in 1991. Wow. So we've been at this for a while

as a community. I appreciate that. Okay.

Thank you. So these were custom made. These were the Oregon Heritage,

Oregon heritage commissions. There we go. Were

Mr. Mayor, last week we got to see them receive this award in front of several 100 people in at Mount Angel.

Wonderful.

Yeah. Camby was on this on the main stage.

Thank you. Thank you.

Our next proclamation this evening is regarding Mental Health Awareness Month. Whereas mental health is part of everyone's overall health and well-being and excuse me. Mental illnesses are prevalent in our country, state, and nation with one of one in five adults experiencing a mental health issue every year. Whereas stigma and the resulting discrimination is a primary obstacle to early identification and effective treatment of individuals with mental illness and their ability to recover to lead full productive lives. Whereas approximately half of chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14 and suicide is the second leading cause of death of individuals, ages 10 to 14 and 25 to 34.

Whereas long delays averaging eleven years occur between the time symptoms first appear when individuals get help, and it is therefore essential to cure the stigma and discrimination that is the primary cause for those delays. Whereas every citizen and community can make a difference in helping to cure the stigma and discrimination that for too long has surrounded mental illness and discouraged people from getting help, and whereas public education and civic engagement improves the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. Now, therefore, the city council, the city of Canby, the municipal corporation of the county of Clackamas in the state of Oregon do hereby proclaim May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness Month to ensure to increase public understanding of the importance of mental health, to promote identification and timely treatment of mental illness, and to cure the resulting stigma and the discrimination given given unto my hand this May 2026 in the city of Canby, Oregon. And I believe, mayor Taylor, you are receiving this. Can we?

Oh, sorry. It's okay.

I'm seeing pictures, Scott.

Mayor and council, thank you very much for allowing the CAMBI Suicide Prevention Organization to accept the memorandum on May as Mental Health Awareness Month in CAMBI and the city's commitment to connecting services to the citizens of CAMBI. I'm Scott Taylor, chairman of the CAMBI Suicide Prevention Organization, and, one of our charter members is council president Tracy Hensley, has been with it since the beginning of this conversation. Our group first formed in 2018 after the tragic suicides of three youth in our community and the focus on reducing suicide by youth and adults in the future. It's been a long eight years. We continue to work on that.

And through a variety of trainings and community awareness efforts over the years, We've put up the 988 signs you see around town so folks can anonymously call 988 and speak to someone who's trained to provide the right resources. We work closely with the county on a variety of opportunities also to inform and educate and move forward. 988 also can connect youth to support services, and the county has developed a website for youth, Compass to Connection, that is also valuable to use in this day of iPads and technology. You may also notice flyers and brochures encouraging folks to contact 988 to help save a life, and that's our theme. We all probably know someone who has committed suicide or attempted, and we often think to ourselves, what could I have done?

And we think that by learning some simple skills, learning some interaction, we can save lives, and that's what keeps us going and meeting. And so as part of the Mental Health Awareness Month, we are having a one hour training from on May 19 from 05:30 to 06:30 or seven in conjunction with the county. Our hope throughout this following year is to provide additional opportunities for folks who join us in learning a simple, intervention to suicide. And again, thank you for the honor of allowing us to receive this on behalf of mental health. Thank you.

And thank you, Scott, for your work. And, mister Behrend, I'd also like to notice that Brandon Leonard is in the back of the room. I wanna thank him as well for all of his work with our group. He is kind of our behavioral health liaison to the city, so we appreciate you, Brandon.

Yes. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Brandon, thank you as well. For those, again, we added the position of a behavioral officer because we've seen such an increase on the mental health side of things. And it's been a key position not only for Kambi PD, Kambi Fire. I believe we're still sharing you with the city of Malala. And so it has been a very important addition to our city and our police force. So thank you. Thank you, Scott and council president Hensley for your work with this group and that whole group in general.

So thank you. Appreciate it very much. Alright. The historic group just left, but wanted to thank them as well. They've done a tremendous job and out to the Mark Prairie School.

It's an amazing how they thought it was only gonna be 200,000, I'm not sure based on the damage that was out there, but it's a pretty amazing schoolhouse to see that it's in its refurbished state. So if you get a chance to get out there, go out and take a look at it. So, yeah, Carol and the historic groups in CAMI and Judy Oz have been amazing on all the projects and things that they've done. Know Jamie and Tyler have worked very closely with that group as well. And so, Jamie, please pass our thanks to them for all the work that they they do. So item six tonight, counsel, is there any items from the consent agenda that you wish to remove?

No.

I can I can speak to the consent agenda? It's the pleasure of the mayor and council really quick. Yeah. A housekeeping item. I haven't put an agenda item on the consent agenda yet. This is my first time, but it was mostly due to timing. County staff is here tonight, Rick, with who runs the recycling program over at clock 4 Clackamas County for a number of years, I might add. And I see you might remember a woman named Amanda Clock, your interim city administrator back in 2009. Mhmm. So the county is just interested in updating the letter of understanding and then entering to an IGA.

They handle all of our state and metro requirements for recycling. I did have Emily take a peek at this one, our legal counsel, before placing it on the agenda. Rick's here if you have any questions of Rick.

Okay. Any questions about this?

It's just simply a renewal of what we've already got going on? Correct. Is that what I'm understanding?

Essentially with some

Yeah. It's clean.

Come on, Rick.

What's your prepared

Rick's with

we we try to if you come to a meeting, we we try to get you on microphone.

Yeah. So Rick Winterhalter with, Clackamas County Solid Waste and Sustainability Office. So we've as as, mister Healy has stated, we've been in this agreement since,

prior

to 2008, but recorded in 2008 through a member a letter of understanding and essentially it's in order for us to carry out the along with the collectors, along with your service provider, about to carry out all the recycling outreach and solid waste work that goes on in the city as well as the county. And then there's a new recycling modernization act that came along, so another piece of legislation that's come along. There's some money that comes with that, a per capita amount to carry out specific duties associated with educating on contamination reduction throughout the county and the city. So we have an agreement similar to this with all of the other cities in the county and we're going through this process with everyone. So happy to answer any questions.

Talk trash all day.

You like using that

line? I

do, yes. Talk trash for the best of all.

Uh-huh. There you go.

Any questions or comments? Like I said, it's kind of a renewal piece. Okay. We'll continue Thank you very much. Including the consent agenda. Thank you, sir.

With that then, mister mayor, I move to approve the consent agenda that consists of the approval of the 04/01/2026 city council regular meeting minutes and the authorization of the interim city administrator to enter into intergovernmental agreement, IDA, with city Clackamas County relating to recycling plastic pollution and recycling modernization.

Thank you. Second. Thank you.

Motion has been made by council president Hensley and second by councilor Waterman to approve the consent agenda, which include the 04/01/2026 city council regular meeting minutes and authorizing the interim city administrator to enter into a intergovernmental agreement, IGA, with Clackamas County regarding, recycling plastic pollution and recycling modernization. Any further discussion? None. All those in favor? Aye. Aye.

Aye. Aye.

Is there four of us tonight? Yep. Passes four zero. Great. Thank you very much. Next on the agenda is appointments. So we have the appointment of member Patrick Bailey to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

Mr. Mayor, I move to approve the appointment of member Patrick Bailey to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with the term ending 06/30/2028 and the approval of the member Blaine Oswald to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee with the term ending 06/30/2027. Thank

you.

Motion has been made by council president Hensley and seconded by councilor Waterman, to, approve the appointment of Patrick Bailey to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a term ending 06/30/2028 and approval of the appointment of Blaine Oswald also to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a term ending 06/30/2027. All those in favor?

Aye. Aye. Alright.

Anyone opposed? Passes four zero. Next this evening is a public hearing. This is a public hearing to consider ordinance number one six seven two, an ordinance adopting the city of Canby Transportation System Plan. So we'll read our public hearing notice, and we'll go.

The matter presently before the hearing body requires a public hearing. All interested persons in attendance shall be heard on this matter. The public hearing was noticed, and those who wish to speak were instructed to contact the city recorder. At this time, we've not received any requests to speak on the transportation plan. Those people that are interested in testifying as either proponents or opponents that are in here, I don't think there are, but if you do wanna speak, please raise your hands.

Okay? For longer presentations, proponents and opponents may buy time from one another. In so doing, those either in favor or opposed may allocate their time to a spokesperson who will represent the entire group. All questions must be directed through me, the mayor. Any evidence to be considered must be submitted to the hearing body for public access. All written testimony received both for and against shall be summarized by staff and presented briefly to the hearing body during the staff report. The public hearing will be conducted as follows. We'll have a staff report presented by Mr. Hardy and then questions, if any, by the hearing body. I will then open the public hearing for testimony.

We will hear from proponents and opponents. I will then close the public hearing. Questions, if any, by the hearing body and then discussion by the hearing body. A decision will shall be made by the hearing body at the close of the hearing or the matter will be continued to a date certain in the future. This will be the only notice of that date you will receive. Does anyone have any questions about the procedure or the hearing? Alright. Seeing none. Mr. Hardy, the show is yours.

Thank you. Good evening, Mayor and council members. This evening, we will be reviewing a transportation system plan and I just wanted to do some introductions. First, Kevin Chewick is next to me and we have Riel Flakowski as well. They're both from DKS Associates.

They've been helping us through the process. They will be leading the presentation tonight. I just wanted to make some high level comments regarding the transportation system plan. This is the culmination of three years of work that we've been doing, lots of community input regarding the transportation system plan. And I'll walk through the approval criteria and our text amendment, our planned amendment process, and then I'll turn it over to Kevin and Ria for the presentation.

We do want this to be interactive. There are a number of slides here. We tried to minimize those. There's just a lot of content here and we don't want to linger on these more than we need to, but we felt like the full package was important for you all to see tonight for your review. So, you do have questions as we go through this, we'd be happy to respond to those.

So, Maya, could you put up the PowerPoint? So, I just wanted to touch on the approval criteria just very briefly For plan amendments, which this transportation system plan is a plan amendment, they're required to consider the comprehensive plan of the city and the plans and policies of the county, state and local districts in order to preserve functions and local aspects of land use conservation and development, a public need for the change, whether the proposed change will serve the public better need better than any other change which might be expected to be made, whether the change will preserve and protect the health safety and general welfare of the residents of the community and state way planning goals. And I'm going to touch on those briefly. So, the first criteria that we will be addressing is consistency with plans. So, the transportation system plan is consistent with county, state and local plans, statewide planning goals, the transportation planning rule and Camby City Code.

Second criteria is a public need and this has been sixteen years since the last transportation system plan was adopted. So, there is a need for an update to the transportation system plan. There was extensive community involvement and outreach during the process to develop goals and policies and strategies during the process over the last three years. And the transportation system plan does reflect the goals policies and road standards that are necessary over the next twenty years. Criteria number three, addressing whether the proposed change will serve the public better than any other change, which might be expected to be made.

The Transportation System Plan will permit the implementation of received input and that included Oregon Department of Transportation in Colacamas County and community input to develop the transportation system plan. Criteria four, whether the change will preserve and protect the health safety and general welfare, our residents and the community And then transportation system plan ZAPLISE will preserve and protect health and safety and general welfare of the community and reflects community input. Kim will be going through some of the details that will support that tonight. And then consistency with statewide planning goals. The transportation system plan is consistent with statewide planning goals.

It's also internally consistent with the comprehensive plan policies and strategies as well and it is based on an update to the data and factual basis that brings it up to current 2026 standards that are badly needed since the current transportation system plan is sixteen years old. The approval criteria just kind of these are general items here, but does the transportation system plan does consider all modes of transportation is based on an inventory of transportation needs, consider social consequences using different transportation modes, avoids principal reliance upon one mode of transportation, minimizes adverse social economic and environmental impacts and costs, conserves energy, meets the needs of the transportation disadvantage by improving transportation services, facilitates the flow of goods and services and conforms with the comprehensive land use plan. So, with that, I'm going to transition this to Kevin to go through the elements of the transportation system plan. And as we'll take pauses throughout this to ask for questions that you all may have.

Good evening, councilor as a mayor. Nice to see you all again. So, what I'm presenting for you is the outcome of the process that Don mentioned over the past three years. Much of this information you've seen before as we've updated you throughout the process. So, we're the intent is just to kind of highlight the outcome, which is summarized in the TSP here.

So, we'll go through each of those chapters on these slides here. So, some changes since the last time we met, we had a work session with you all on January 21. Since that point, back in March, we had the Planning Commission hearing on the TSP, which we received a unanimous recommendation for approval. Since that point, we've obviously since we met with you all, we've obviously prepared this draft TSP. We've also addressed four action items that came out of the Planning Commission hearing, One of those was a new TSP action to monitor and track the TSP investments and follow how those and monitor how those transition over the next several years.

There's also three other action items that we have addressed in the the draft TSP as a response to the Planning Commission comments. So, this slide here you've seen before, this is just summarizing the key stages of the TSP as we've gone through this process. We're now in the final box, which is just the recommended and an adoption phase, where we're at the public adoption hearing. As you know, each of these stages have been supported by several deliverables, which are summarized in volume two of

the

TSP and then just the final thing that we have right now is just the adopted version of the TSP. So, as I mentioned, we're gonna kinda go through the draft TSP with you all. The draft TSP is broken into two volumes, so volume one has five chapters and this is just a summary of all the key content and outcomes of the plan, it's about 70 pages. Volume two includes all the background materials that we've presented to you throughout this TSP process. It's 300 pages and includes a lot of technical data and all the information that went into the development of this plan.

It's intended to just be supporting data to the volume one content. So, chapter one is the context for the plan. This gives an introduction to Cambium describes what a TSP is and how it was developed. So, Cambia is responsible for planning transportation infrastructure for all modes within its designated urban growth boundary and this boundary supports twenty years worth of population and employment growth. The TSP is the city's tool for this effort and within that, the city is not able to plan or extend urban services outside of their urban growth boundary, but they can coordinate with needs of other agencies outside of those outside of your boundary including Clackamas County, ODOT.

So, this TSP is based on the community vision that was identified and the updated CAMBI comprehensive plan and the goals and policies that are within that comprehensive plan are also consistent with the TSP. These goals and objectives were used to identify performance measures that we used in this process to assess the quality and availability infrastructure in the city. This included an assessment of congestion, safety and comfort for all modes at intersections and along streets in Camby and has provided information to help identify and prioritize needed investments for the TSP. Throughout this process, we had a robust community engagement process to share information and ideas on the plan and this feedback was helpful guiding the development of the TSP including the list of transportation projects. The outreach project outreach activities included five community summits where we had over three fifty people attend those, very highly attended compared to other communities where we've done TSPs in.

We've had online engagement with over two fifty participating and a thousand unique comments. We've also had meetings with a project advisory committee and a technical advisory committee, which included community representatives and agency staff members who helped inform, guide and provide recommendations for the TSP. And we've highlighted a summary of some of the key themes that we heard through the community feedback there on the right. So, traffic and congestion in neighborhoods, there were concerns about diversion from the highway into neighborhoods happens through the years. Connections across the river particularly to the, you know, towards I-five in that direction, vehicles traveling at high rates of speed, delay that it's experienced at the rail crossings through the city when those block those crossings and there's no other way to get around and also safety of of pet and bicyclists in the city was a concern of residents at these at these meetings.

So, chapter two is Canby Transportation System Today and Tomorrow. This chapter describes the system as it exists today and in the future through 2043. The assessment was based upon a comprehensive multimodal analysis of existing and future travel conditions using projected growth in households and employment over the next twenty years, which you can see there on the right. The transportation system review documented the existing pedestrian bike transit and motor vehicle infrastructure and identified shortfalls and limitations regarding how people can travel within the city, such as lack of bike lanes or sidewalks or intersection delay. Those were some of the concerns that we noted.

This assessment was then used to determine community transportation's needs and determine where the system can be improved to better accommodate those needs. So, these graphics are an outcome of some of that multimodal analysis. So, on the left, can see street never congestion, this shows intersections that exceeded capacity thresholds. The red is our red, orange and yellow are intersections that experienced delay, red is over that congestion threshold. We've also shown various links, roadway segments that are shaded yellow, orange and red as well.

Those are segments that drivers are gonna experience delay on them regardless of those congestion thresholds and we just showed that as a way of reflecting the travel delay that you experience as you drive on these streets. And then, on the right is as a result of the safety analysis that highlights areas of collisions, there was one fatality and pedestrian and bike, cyclists involved collisions as well. These images show the result of the pedestrian and bike traffic stress analysis, so this is a similar analysis, but from those users perspectives, it shows how how you perceive the walking conditions as you're walking along those streets. Majority of the streets in Camby are are a user will experience lower moderate delay, so but on contrast, there's pedestrians on about 11% of streets there on the left will experience some high higher extreme stress and that includes portions of 99 E, 13th Avenue, Melina Road and Haines Road. Similarly, a bicyclist will experience extreme or high delay along similar roads including Oregon 99 E, Haines Road, Melina Road, Holly and segments of Elm, Grant, Ivy and 13.

So, these are these are areas that the TSP used to focus pedestrian and bike improvements on using these metrics of evaluation. So, chapter three is the Transportation Facility and Performance Standards. So, CAMBI applies these standards and regulations to the construction of new transportation facilities and to the operation of those facilities to ensure that they are designed appropriately and the system functions as intended. These standards enable consistent future actions that reflect the goals and objectives of the city. In CAMBI, this includes classifications and performance standards for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and overall system connectivity.

So, here you can see the street functional classifications in the city and there on the right, you can see the designated truck routes in the city. So, TSP chapter four describes the transportation improvement projects that were identified to address the needs that we highlighted through the multi modal system analysis that we in chapter two of the TSP. The full project list includes 73 projects totaling over 195,000,000 worth of investments. The projects address all of the transportation needs along major streets in the UGB with the functional classification of neighborhood route collector or arterial, regardless of the city's ability to fund them in the future. These projects were developed using guidance by the project goals, previous plans and stakeholders and the independent project team evaluation of system needs.

So, this table, it looks scary but it's essentially showing you the 73 projects and the total cost of all those projects at $195,000,000 but the city is only expected to have about $52,000,000 available to fund these improvements over the next twenty years and of that, 14,000,000 is funding from the Canby Street Fund and the rest of that is from SDC revenue. Because the total project costs in the TSP are 195,000,000, the projects were split into two improvement packages referred to as the finance constrained and unconstrained projects. The finance constrained projects have a total construction budget similar to the reasonable available funding over the planning horizon while the remaining projects are on the unconstrained package. So, for this purpose, each project was assigned a primary improvement category, which you see there in the table with assumptions for how they might be funded over the next twenty years. One key assumption is the SDC eligible cost share for each project, since non SDC eligible costs must be covered by another funding source to be included in the finance constraint list.

Only the cost share of the project that adds capacity to transportation system is able to that serves new development is eligible to use those SDC funds. So, as you can see there on the far right column, there's $66,000,000 worth of project costs that are not eligible for SDC funds, meaning that that portion must be funded by the 14,000,000 in other city revenue available to be on the finance constrained list. So, here is just a map of all those projects, the red show the ones that are on the finance constrained list and then the black icons are just all the other projects and where they're located throughout the city. And this is a giant table, but it essentially highlights the finance constrained projects narrowed down that the list of 73 projects to this list. So, to get to this list, each TSP project was evaluated and ranked with a set of measurable evaluation criteria and the highest ranking projects were included on the finance constraint list using the available funding that we highlighted on the last slide.

You can see that there on the second to the column that's second from the right, there's 14,000,000 total investment on using the other funds that I highlighted was available and then the 38,000,000 there in that third column from the right is using those SDC funds, so that totals the 52,000,000 that the city has available to fund projects.

I have a question. Yeah. When you're coming up with these totals for SDCs funded projects and non SDC funded projects, are we using the current SDCs as they exist today or the SDCs as they might exist after

July. So, this column right here, the one that says SDC eligible, all that's simply doing is just splitting it out by what portion of the project could be funded with SDCs if the city was able to fund all of them, it's not accounting for any it's not assuming revenue from SDCs at that point, it's only saying potentially 128,000,000 could be covered by SDC because growth is responsible for that portion.

And I was assuming that the SDC funds are there, which they may or may not be depending on fees collected and money spent.

Yeah. So it's so you have to use that $14,000,000 that I mentioned of other funds to to to fund the portion that's not SDC eligible, so that's how you get to this list right here where it has that 14,000,000 and the second to right column because that's the share that you have to have revenue from other sources to fund to be on the finance constraint list. So, the portion of the SDC revenue that is able that is associated with those projects is in there, which is limited in that to $38,000,000 of SDC.

I have a question too. So, some of these projects seem specifically related to Organ 90 nine E and under the impression that we don't really have any control over Organ ninety nine E, so how are we allocating funds to projects for 99 that we don't have control over?

So, the revenue from the that's used in the revenue forecast is based upon it includes revenue from the State Highway Trust Fund, is gas tax money from the state, but through this process, ODOT did not allow the city to assume any revenue from ODOT sources for those projects, so they're simply just the highest rated projects that take but it still is able to apply revenue. This doesn't stop the city from going after and getting grants or other support or revenue sources to help fund those projects, but in this analysis, it does not assume those revenue sources. I think

I'm really more talking about like how is that even a valid project if we can't just go and make changes to nine

Yeah. So, the projects are the ones that are on nine ninety are multi use path that's adjacent to the facility, so the city would have to work with that agency who involved in this process of when that project gets to.

So, we're assuming we're working with the state and that we're helping. It's more of a combined Correct. Assuming that they wanna work with us.

They would have to be involved, yeah, the process when that's

These are like sidewalks and things that that we could put in without their permission. We've just not like put stop stoplight at Locust And 99 or something, which we probably they wouldn't even let us. Right?

It won't be happening.

I mean, not that we do it. I'm just I'm just an example. So so so these 99 projects, like, we just said, hey, let's do it, the state would still have to say yes or no. Right?

Yeah. Everything would be done in partnership with the state regarding 99 e. The piece is that there's again, what's here is, if anything, it comes down to what is our contribution as a city to those projects, and then where does that money come from, and then what's the total, you know, total cost of the project, what are we contributing, and then what do we go after in terms of grants to help pay for the rest of it? Because, again, transportation wise, we've all been reading the news and watching you know, there's just everything that's going on with ODOT. We don't know what's gonna be there in the coming years. So right now, it it it is dollars that we may have the dollars to do it, but then ODOT may not.

And so

that opens up to, you know, stiff funding and all those other ones that are out there that we can go after. Thank you.

And so, this table is the SDC project list which essentially is the TSP financial constraint list minus a handful of projects that are not eligible to use SDC funds. So, there was only four projects where that applied. So, this is the same list minus those four projects. So, the final chapter of the TSP is implementation and ongoing actions and strategies. It summarizes the system performance outcomes of the TSP and provides transportation strategies and policy considerations for plan implementation and monitoring.

Some are emergent emerging issues to be monitored and others are are ongoing but need greater emphasis or attention. Addressing these will take to evaluate and may also require future decisions from you all and also Planning Commission. So, this shows this table shows a summary of the system evaluation process comparing to the six performance measures against the TSP goals and it shows the outcomes of that process where the goals helped achieve those particular performance measures and the outcomes of each of those. So, finally, ongoing plan monitoring. This is one of the action items that came out of Planning Commission.

They were interested in the TSP actions and how they're going to progress and, you know, continue to move forward as the years go by. So, there was a strategy that was added into the comprehensive plan, it's highlighted there, it says monitor and track progress of the transportation system plan investments, including the long term feasibility products, projects that connect outside of CAMBI to provide progress updates and needed actions. So, this is an action that's going to implement that strategy in the comprehensive plan. It's just to monitor and track the progress of the TSP investments. Will provide this will occur every two years and it will provide a status of the TSP projects such as the project phase, schedule, budget, amount spent, project completeness.

It will identify needed actions for the year such as coordination with Clackamas County or ODOT, advancing the project and advancing the project phase over other funding needs. And it'll also use the TSP system performance evaluation process to highlight how the system has changed in those years with the data that we've collected. So, it'll provide progress updates for each of those six performance measures. So, is a summary of the current TSP, the twenty ten TSP. From that TSP, 40% of the projects have been completed.

That's a pretty good portion of the projects. There were some big ticket, high dollar projects that were in there that were not completed for various reasons, but 40% of them were completed. We've highlighted some of the key ones there, some pedestrian crossing pedestrian crossing enhancement on Oregon 99 E, Sequoia Parkway Extension was a project in New York prior TSP, Southeast 4th Avenue Extension, at least a portion of it, The Walnut Street extension, the design and the approvals for that have occurred, improvements on Northeast 4th and Northeast 3rd Avenue, and then some improvements on South Ivy. And then of the twenty ten TSP projects, 80% of those are included in the current TSP. We've highlighted some of those there Another 20% of those are just are no longer applicable or needed based upon the updated system analysis that was done with this current process.

So, these are these slides are just gonna show some examples of the monitoring and progress tracking that we're that we will be providing for the Cambia TSP. This example shows a dashboard tool that's that was developed to track progress of the of the each TSP project at the project level. You can see the it lists the total budget, how much was spent, the percent complete and gives various information on the project at the right. This shows an example of same dashboard tool, but instead it's showing the progress at the program level, so an overall summary of how the entire TSP has been built out and how your performance has been for your measures listed there at the bottom. This shows a summary of the system performance evaluation for ongoing monitoring of the transportation goals and the impact of those investments on the system comparing the current results to the previous progress updates.

And then, this one is just showing the recommended actions for the next three years based on the findings evaluation that was touched on that last slide. And that's all we have. So, our next steps are just the state acknowledgment process, assuming that we all get approval from you all.

Okay.

If you all have questions or we can come back, I mean, feel free to ask right now.

I think the only question right off the top of my head is so the ones that were in the previous t TSP that were not completed, we did move full. The ones that either we decided not to complete, the ones that we are staying with have been moved into the updated plan?

Yes. Up up from the twenty ten TSP, the ones that are still applicable, and we have a summary of all those and what they are in the appendix of the TSP as well. Perfect.

Yes, sir.

I just was and maybe this is small and petty, but I was on page 34 of the transportation plan. There's a map. I think it says Collector Streets, arterial streets, and the highway. I think it's kinda curious that we are on Ivy. You're on an arterial way up until 6th Street, and then 6th Street Avenue becomes an arterial way.

And then Holly becomes 1, and then Knightsbridge becomes 1. And having lived in Camby for fifteen years, I was never aware where an arterial street goes that 6th Avenue between Ivy and Holly was an arterial way. And I'm just curious about if there's arterial ways, are they is there plans for them to be like is there signs or something that say that this is the arterial way, or is it just a way to connect two streets together that don't have any other connections? I'm just curious about that. And then I saw I saw Territory as a collector street, but it's it's sort hard to tell because there's a light blue and dark blue.

But and I think I'm seeing the difference in light blue and dark blue, but it seems like Territorial only collects towards 99 at at, territorial 99 and doesn't collect to the other arter arterial stuff that's much, much closer. And I think most my point is most drivers ignore the fact that there's collectors and residential streets and arterials. And if most drivers don't know, I think it's maybe a meaningless, somewhat meaningless. I don't know. I just was look when I was reading that, I looked at that map and I'm just kinda puzzled.

And some of those are more so dictated by the volumes at the level of traffic that they experience and the the classifications more so just dictate what the cross section is. So the city has cross sections that apply to each of those, it determines the the width of the travel lanes, the the bike lanes, and what facilities are gonna be provided on those on those roadways.

Okay. I mean, yeah, I'm just I just sort of puzzled because, like, 6th Avenue between Ivy and Holly is an arterial. It's never occurred to me.

So Well, and again, I think as you travel, the roads are aren't necessarily lines of demarcation as to what's a collector and what's an arterial. I mean, I don't so it's more about how that those roads will end up getting developed depending on growth around those areas.

So I would think if the one is an arterial way, it should be probably have maybe less stop signs or or other designations that make it easier to travel the arterial way. And, the ones that we don't want people, like, for example, Birch Street. I I would consider that an arterial way or at least a collector because I think everybody uses it as that. But if we don't want it to be one, just put a whole bunch of stop signs down it, and they'll probably stop it right away. I'm just saying that there we should have plans to make what we want to make routes into those routes.

So you're proposing the to do list already for

I'm just TSP? I'm just saying that. No. I'm just looking at it, I'm just like, but I'm like, I never would have thought that. I'm like, oh, no. Okay. Well, that's just Good observations.

Councilor Waterman, did you have a question? No. No? Council President Nesli? I did. Councilor Patton?

No, I'm all set.

Okay. Alright. Well, thank you for the presentation. I will open up the public hearing right now. And right now, we don't really have any proponents or opponents for the TSP plan, so I'm gonna close it. Any further discussion by the council on this topic? So, Don, now that you've walked away.

We're hoping to get your steps in.

I I did notice and I'm not and I I'm not sure how I missed it, but I did. I noticed in one of the maps that Southeast 13th Avenue is not a truck route any longer.

I'm gonna have to bring Kevin back up here. Yeah. This game. See. Did you hear the question?

So Southeast 13th between Ivy and, I guess, Molino or Sequoia, I noticed. So that had been designated a truck route. For a while. And I noticed that it's not unless I looked at the map wrong it does not seem to be. Designated that any longer.

Can can you repeat the segment again? Southeast 13th between

Between Ivy and Sequoia.

Between Ivy and Sequoia. Oh, so the western so the western portion of it.

Yes. Page 35. Sorry.

Yeah. I think I

think So, like, it's a

truck route from so 99 in Barlow, as you cut through, goes behind the high school

Mhmm.

Comes out at Ivy or connects into Ivy. And so it looks like the truck route now continues up and down Ivy, whereas historically Southeast, and I'm not complaining that we've taken it off the map, but I was just curious as to I'm glad that it's no longer designated that, but again, it was more of a what what led to that? Was that part of the the community group? Is there was conversation of?

Yes. So I think that the truck routes were the these were the routes that were recommended the prior TSP as part of the finance constraint system. So the these became the new truck routes with this current TSP. So that was why those changes were made. Okay.

No. I think it's a great it's a good change. I know that early on when people are moving to that part of town and especially into the Tofte neighborhood, even in my neighborhood there that when they did find out that it was a truck route, there was a lot of consternation around that being a truck route. And so with Sequoia being put in it's definitely enabled trucks coming off Malaya Molina that can't fit under the bridge to be able to use Sequoia to get out to 99 and not use that stretch to get out to 99 and Berg Parkway. It's a good change if that's where it came from.

And hopefully Walnut Street also helps with that once that's there as well. That'll hopefully become a more of a direct route.

That's the goal.

So do the truckers know that they're not supposed to go down?

Well, the wonderful world of Waze and GPS, that is always because I was also thinking

It is if you're a truck driver and you're coming up Knightsbridge, you can't really connect to 99 on the truck route. Although, having been around Grant Street, I know that the truckers may not be aware that they're not supposed to go down Grant Street.

Well, they're yeah. They're it's the path of least resistance, I think, in some cases. But I have seen a couple semis get truck stuck downtown, and trying to back up and figure their way out of there. But, yeah, like, Haines Road is not part of the truck route, but it's the GPS takes them that way because it's the path of least resistance. So so no. That was my question about 13th. So appreciate that. I don't know if there's any other questions from from that or whatnot or we can take them from getting a motion done from from from us to do this place. So we do have an ordinance. Yeah.

Councilor Warren. I move to approve ordinance number sixteen seventy two, an ordinance adopting the city of Camden Transportation System System Plan to a second reading on 05/20/2026. Second.

Motion has been made by councilor Waterman and seconded by councilor Stearns to approve ordinance number one six seven two, in ordinance adopting the city Of K and B Transportation System Plan. Any further discussion? All those in favor?

Aye. Aye.

That carries four zero.

Thank you.

Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate it. Alright. Moving into item 10 this evening. Just a quick change.

I under section 10 ordinances resolutions, item a two, ordinance number one six seven zero, we are gonna be removing. There's was some additional information provided by the legal team regarding the comprehensive plan. So Don will be bringing that back to us to update us on what those additions were. And so we'll go through and hear those changes at our next meeting and then approve those changes being added. And then a second reading will be the first week of or first meeting in June.

So there is no ten a two for this evening. So we will tackle ten a one. Ordinance number one six six nine, an ordinance authorizing the purchase of server and storage equipment through Polar Systems in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in declaring an emergency. And this is a second reading. So, again, Polar's our IT company that we contract with, doing some upgrades to equipment for, I think, approved budget for this year. We're getting it done here pretty quickly. Is there any other questions or comments that Todd didn't cover off from the last meeting?

No. Mr. Mayor, I move that we adopt ordinance number one six six nine or the ordinance of authorizing the purchase of a server and storage equipment through Polar Systems in the amount not to exceed a $100,000 in declaring an emergency. Second reading.

Thank you. Second. Thank you. Motion made by council president Hensley and second by council Waterman to approve ordinance number one six six nine, an ordinance authorizing the purchase of server and storage equipment through Polar Systems in amount not to exceed $100,000 and declaring an emergency. Roll call vote.

Councilor Patton.

Aye.

Councilor Stearns. Aye. Councilor Waterman.

Aye.

And council president Ensley. Aye.

Thank you. That motion passes four zero. Next, item is, ordinance number one six seven one, an ordinance authorizing the purchase of bulk fuel from CECO Incorporated under the state of Oregon price agreement zero four nine eight in an amount not to exceed $200,000 and declaring an emergency in another picture. And Like Mr. Higgs?

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. You're welcome. Getting some visuals put up on screen. I think we have another photo as well. Snazzy. Okay. Let's let's hold on that one. Mr. Wood is here.

Our legal counsel's online. There's a lot of moving parts on this project. But as you will recall, as a counsel, after a major weather event before my time, you all, asked that this become a capital project so that first responders could get fuel in Cambi, and we could find some partners through an intergovernmental agreement. And so Todd is taking the lead on working on that, some softwaring, working with legal counsel. But we're here tonight because Canby Fire and the state fire marshal have asked us to test the tanks.

Those are, three twelve thousand gallon tanks, I believe, two unleaded, one diesel. And we need to get pretty close to all the way to the top, so we need to buy fuel. And that's why we're here tonight. Todd has written a really nice staff report that asked for your recommend or your allowance of the interim city administrator to purchase the bulk fuel, in amount not to exceed 200,000. And we did declare an emergency so we can get this done. As you might know, or as you may know, fuel prices are

Ridiculous. Thank

you. I was looking for the most politically correct adjective, so.

Crazy high words.

I'm not always PC.

Great, thank you.

So how much of those tanks is the $200,000 gonna fill?

Three? Depends on what day they fill them.

Half of them.

Quarter. Yeah.

That's what threw me off. There's a little

bit of

a typo at the end that Maya just pointed out for this. Let's see. To declare an emergency to a second reading of March 20.

Can you hear Yeah. It should be May.

Thank you.

I caught that.

May. May versus March.

Okay. Well, then Apologize

for that.

So, again, just if I remember correctly on this project, so this was, again, in response to the ice storm that we had and we had Mhmm. Camby Utility. We had Public Works. We had fire and police vehicles that were coming within hours of running out of fuel to be able to do the job and get things cleaned up. And so when there was the post COVID or with COVID, the ARPA funds that came through instead of we we invested in some of our capital projects for our city to be prepared for emergencies like that in the future because it will happen again.

And this was one of the projects that we've been circling around for a number of years for our city to be able to respond in that situation and have fuel as needed for our vehicles as well as be able to partner with the other agencies. Question for you, Randy. I know there was some conversation about so city city fleet will use that. Public works, police, and then Camby Fire. Correct?

Correct.

Okay. Has there been any discussion with Camby School District?

Todd, I don't wanna speak for Todd, but it's on the whiteboard. We had we did a whiteboard exercise with the fire chief and police chief and Todd. They were on the whiteboard to approach the school district. Okay. As well as sheriff's office, state of Oregon, Clackamas County, other first responders that might be interested. Okay.

Kinda one of those. If you're in town, can fill up or As a first responder. On. Yeah. K. Is there how often do we need to cycle through the gasoline in tanks?

Todd told me this, so I'm gonna have to call on him. You don't want you want you don't want your gas to get stale.

No stale gas.

No stale gas. Now,

is it 92? Like, is it like

I think he's got a number for you.

What's the unleaded quality are we looking at here?

I mean, I really realistically, you're good for, you know, six to nine months, but we wanna cycle through them about every ninety days or so. That shouldn't be a problem. Okay. It's it's we go through 70,000 gallons a year. Wow. This only holds 36, and it doesn't actually hold 36, 36 the maximum amount. You can't fill them to the maximum amount, so we'll cycle through this more than twice a year just the city alone. So then if you had partners on top of that, you're gonna be cycling through it much more quickly. So it's not really it's not really a concern for us as far as fuel sitting.

Did you say we use 70,000 gallons a year?

Yeah. Okay. That transit department just eats fuel. Oh, that's the air department.

I forgot to mention it.

Oh, yeah. The buses.

Those those cat buses running around.

Okay. Eight miles a gallon on

those things.

Goodness sakes. Well then, mister mayor, I move that we approve ordinance number one six seven zero, ordinance authorizing the purchase of bulk fuel from Seneca, I guess that's how you say that, under the state Oregon price agreement $0.04 $9.08 in an amount not to exceed $200,000 and declaring an emergency. Okay.

There's a question, but first I forgot to mention, mayor, this is in the project budget. Yes.

Thank you. Sorry. We have a question.

So Do we have a second though?

Yeah. We need a second first.

I'll second then ask a question.

Okay. So motion's been made by council president Hensley and seconded by councilor Stearns. Discussion? Councilor Stearns and then councilor Bannon.

Okay. The question I have on the fuel, we're gonna be letting other agencies fill up on it. Are we going to charge them cost or are we gonna charge them cost plus a premium

on

it or how are we going to do to to do that? Because obviously, even though you're selling fuel, you're also supporting equipment over the long term as well.

Yeah. Cost plus plus. No.

Cost plus. Not cost plus plus. But Todd's right.

Yeah. Cost plus

They're willing to pay a little more for the convenience, but not as much as you pay at the pump.

So the the can be fired and other agencies will get will be buying gas at a discount from what they would at the at at the

You get a bulk fuel discount, plus we don't pay the state tax. So we don't have to charge the state tax.

The So the trans the Yeah.

So right the right off the bat, that's 40¢. I think we're 60 to 70¢. It's really hard to tell until you order. The problem is the price fluctuates, you know. But so we'll charge the, you know, software costs, maintenance costs, personnel costs, and then a little bit on top of that for the future because eventually you have to replace things. It but it'll still be a substantial savings for most people that use it.

Okay. I just wanna make sure that we are covering because the cost is more than just Mhmm. The the liquid stuff.

And and we'll most of every department will pay that. So it won't just be our partners. We'll also charge that to most departments.

Okay. So

across the board.

Councilor Patton.

Yeah. So I assume that all these entities are purchasing gas currently from fuel stations within the city limits. Is that a safe assumption?

Yes.

So my concern is that one of the taxes that is applied to that fuel when they spill up is our 3¢ gas tax, which goes towards handicap crosswalks and handicap sidewalk updates as well as our street maintenance. So that fund is already short because of no updates. Is there a way for us to charge that tax to people using it or some sort of equivalent fee so that we don't continue to short ourselves by doing this?

That's a fair question, and it is a question I ask this the city attorney, and there is nothing in our, gas tax that requires us to exempt even ourselves. So it would be up to the council's discretion as to whether or not you wanted to charge the city's gas tax on every gallon used sold. So

it's coming your way. Stay tuned.

That choice. Is there more there, counsel Patton?

No. No. I I I just think that we need to consider implementing that and and not sorting that

Taking on Melbourne science for the news field. Press stop.

I'm not sure what that was.

Emily's green is. Has her hand up too.

But that's a little pound.

No, I get it. But

my question is, is this a budget committee discussion or do we need to put it on an agenda in future for us?

Counsel. Counsel decision.

K.

Yeah. But Emily is legally wanting to chime in too at some point.

So that would be 70,000 times

zero zero

three cents. 3¢.

It's only 3¢ a gallon. Yeah. Plus 70¢ 70,000 gallons for the year. Right?

That's what we would

normally use.

70,000 gallons what the city uses.

That's something for us.

That's just that's what we use. We pay that anyway because we're paying it to the pump. Right?

So at 3¢ a gallon, it's $2,100 a year?

Yeah. I don't No. I You're asking the wrong person about that.

So I'm like, is that

finance side of that. Yeah.

I mean, there's $2,100 is a lot, but, I mean, it's money,

but. Sure.

No. I'm Yeah. That's what we were just saying. I wanna outtake

Well, just know

Well, I agree with councilor Pat. Just it's not just us. It's the fire department. Right. It's all the others.

Right. No. I I get that.

Any fuel that is yeah.

And that $2,100 needs to go on the right line item. So I agree that we need to be charging ourselves that tax.

So it sounds like we need to get that on. It'll be a future agenda item. So

To be fair, our partners don't buy anywhere close to the amount of gas the city does. That's very minuscule in comparison. Between transit and PD, we consume a significant portion of gas. Fire department's not even in the ballpark. You're not talking about a huge additional amount of money. But

Good good to know. Thanks, Todd. Emily.

Hi. Can everyone hear me okay?

Yep. Not a problem.

Okay. Great. I just wanted to quickly chime in on what Todd mentioned about your code. So right now, the way the code is written, it appears as though the city, by selling fuel to, you know, agency partners and such, would become a dealer subject to the tax itself. So if if the council wanted to change that, we would need an accompanying ordinance revision.

Okay. Thank you.

Alright. So as I understand what she just said, we don't if we wanna leave it, we don't do anything. We'd have to do an ordinance to exempt it. Correct?

I don't know if she's

You would have to change your ordinance to in order to not be a dealer under the ordinance subject to the tax.

And we we don't wanna be a dealer.

Exactly.

Sounds like we have more to come on this Okay. Alright.

More to come. Any other discussion or question? No. No. So motion's been already on the table. So the motion being to approve ordinance one six seven one, an ordinance authorizing the purchase of bulk fuel from CECO or SECO Incorporated under state of Oregon price agreement zero four nine eight in the amount not to exceed 200,000 in declaring an emergency for a second reading on 05/20/2026. One real quick question.

Are we gonna have to every fuel purchase be approved by the council?

It's a good question. We just wanted to start with this one and see how it goes because this will be the first fill. And then if everything goes successfully, which we expect it to, we're gonna talk about doing a large, like, a very large ordinance in the millions of dollars that allows us to go over a period of time so that we could just refill these without coming back to you. But, yes, we're gonna have to come back after we use this bolt for the next one and hopefully subsequent ones after that. We haven't exactly figured out how that works, but like not to have to come back every you know? Because you're talking about three to four times a year.

Yeah. Alright. We'd like to at least skip the budget year in one fell swoop at least.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Good question. Alright. All those in favor?

Aye.

Anyone opposed?

All right.

Seeing none. All right. That passes four 0. Okay. Thank you all. Thanks, Todd. Item 11, other business. I don't think there is any other business. So 12, we're gonna move into city administrator business and staff reports. Mr. Gibbey.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Appreciate moving this up a little bit. We got a few topics to cover tonight. And first, just general updates, really briefly, time check. 08:25. Okay. We can do this. Two open positions right now. We're out for, police chief, recruitment.

More to come on that with your involvement and help. It down at at a certain point in the process, we had 17 official applications and chief Trow and our HR director, myself, screened, and we're gonna interview seven. I think five are in state of Oregon, two out of state. For your calendars, Walnut Street groundbreaking, May 30. That should be fun. Jamie is here tonight. She's working on that. So thank you, Jamie. It should be

an Saturday?

It's a Saturday. Yeah. Saving those two. Charter review committee. Maya's working on scheduling that for you all that are on the charter review committee

Thank you.

In June, TBD on the date. And then I have a few topics I want to cover. So one, just really briefly, thanks to to Nathan over at the Swim Center. He put together using a program called ActiveNet, a test for us, so to speak, on surveying his users of the aquatic center and got nearly 400 responses. And of those responses, just very nice.

It was very clean survey, satisfied or very satisfied with the experience from the users. I I realized that we're surveying users, so you're gonna get that kind of affirmation, but it's still cool to see how this works. The customer delight was eight out of 10, which is pretty high on a one to 10 scale. 85% of the respondents selected facility improvements and schedule availability as their top priority because they're just booked. A waiting list essentially for all the swim lessons and all that good stuff.

So I'm the reason I'm sharing this because Jamie and I are talking about doing something with you and and I've been talking with the mayor as well with our residents. And there's a couple open ended questions where you get a lot of good feedback, but this just walks through and you can see the different way they lay out the graphs, how many times people use the pool typically, their overall satisfaction, you know, very dissatisfied. There's like five or six of those and they typically because they have one bad experience, I guess, at the pool. But, you know, others are had really good feedback. It breaks it out on a scale very satisfied down to very dissatisfied, and you can see that not only the percentage, but the numbers of of the respondents Mhmm.

Which is a a cool way to display the data. A lot of folks said that they thought the key themes were that they keep it really clean. The staff is is very nice and helpful. The locker rooms kind of registered as something that could use a little help. Water quality came back as really great and overall condition of the facility.

And when you really broke it down, some of the schedule and access pieces, limited hours, crowded schedules, demand exceeds available capacity, So that and you get this is nothing new. This is just a way of seeing truth testing or ground testing the reality of some options you might have ahead of you with the Swim Center that we would be working on with the school district perhaps. Getting to the end of this really quickly, their priorities, the the the responses that we went over in terms of locker rooms and schedule availability came through pretty strong if they could improve one area. And then we did sort of how many of you actually live in the city limits test, so 60%. And then, as you know, the levy is up again and it looked like pretty good response there from the actual users of the pool, of course, for this upcoming November.

So I was just really happy with the work product. Nathan did this all on his own. And typically, there's you could pay consultants tens of thousands of dollars to do these

kind of

things for you. So excited to take the next step. Okay. Next conversation that I promised oh, councilor Patton. Sorry. It's not my job. Mayor. Not my job.

I saw that yelling again. Councilor Patton for city administrator Ealy.

Yeah. So I guess a question that's been rolling around in my head when we start to talk about the levy and what the future of the pool may bring. One of the things that I'm gonna be curious about is, are we able to set the levy so that it is more than what we expect the operations over the course of the five years to be so that some of those funds can be banked towards a new swim set. Not a huge amount of money, but enough to at least start the process building an an nest egg for such a such a a construction project. Doesn't need to be answered now.

I'm just planting that seed as to that as something that I'm gonna be very interested in.

No. It's a fair question to ask. And I think as we get closer to doing discussing that that levy for the pool, that'll be something that the council will have to discuss and and open up for conversation with I think Emily is scribing that down, and I think we've got that as a note to determine if we can, what that could look like and then, you know, and or should we do that. So, again, another more to come on that one.

Yep. Good. I appreciate the answer. Okay. Two other big areas of topics that we're working on that caught some attention. One is having a discussion with you all about illegal fireworks. I think we have a nice slide here. I'd like to thank Jamie for helping. We've met with the fire chief and police chief and Jamie talking about a little bit of a proactive educational campaign. We're coming up on America's 200 and fourth of July is Saturday this year.

So there's a little bit spike in concern with the illegals illegal fireworks, excuse me. And we wanted to take this flyer out to our events and just and tabling opportunities just to kind of share with folks, maybe distribute it in some neighborhoods. Police Chief and Fire Chief said they have resources available to help do some drive throughs and help educate as well. I guess that you should transpire in the past to a certain extent. And regular shifts will be working anyways.

They're on duty on the July 4, naturally, so it's not like this will be extra overtime. It's already built in. So I didn't know if the council had any questions on that, but I'd like to thank Jamie for the layout and helping us disseminate this material

Yeah.

In the next few months.

Yes, councilor Strange. Does the city of Canby actually go out and cite people during the fourth day of life or, you know, good fireworks? Because if they do, they don't do much of a good job, I don't think. Just as experienced. I'm done. Yeah. I'm just saying is that because

I was in I'll

take the I'll take it from my, very nascent understanding and the you all that have history here much deeper than I. We can and we have, but it's a state, citation. Okay? We don't have a local citation, and there are a couple cities that do. So if there was a majority of council that wanted me to bring forward a local ordinance, city of Milwaukee has one, for example, we can certainly, as staff, do that for you. That's my short answer. Mayor, you

have great experience. Yeah. So to expand on that is my understanding is it's, again, very much complaint driven. So if there is a complaint, it gets called in as either if it's queued up as a 911 call, then the dispatch group queues it up based on severity of other calls coming in. So if there are other things that are more serious, you know, in relation, it gets bumped down the list to respond to.

And so by the time you're responding, most of the fireworks are done and over with. So, I mean, it it can it does get called in, but, again, the police are constantly reprioritizing what's going on that evening and where to and where and how to respond.

Because I've been in jurisdictions before where you'll have either the fire department or the police kind of doing patrols. But I don't know if that that doesn't happen here.

The problem the issue is per the chief chief of police is that we can cite under state law, but it's a crime. It's an actual crime.

Oh. Than a ticket.

We don't yeah.

Rather than We

don't take someone to jail for that.

Right. Unless we

Right now it's just an educational moment. I mean,

a fundraiser. No, I mean, ticket.

And you can't I mean, you can't go after the fact into, you know, well, jeez, there's a whole bunch in the street. I'm not this guy must have been

Yeah. A caught in the act.

Yeah. Right. Councilor Patton?

Yeah. So I think it would be good to entertain doing a local thing similar to these other cities. I don't think that this should be criminalized to the state level, but if people are doing dumb things, they should win dumb prizes, and the city of Camden should get a result of those dumb prizes from having citations issued, these dumbleheads. So I'd be interested in that.

And and just for the record, the the Camden Police Department does to a certain extent patrol and respond to firework complaints complaint driven to your point, mayor.

I was just

saying You explained it very well.

When I first moved to Oregon sixteen years ago for the fourth July, I was with family members out of Hubbard and we got a visit from their their fire department who gave one of them, not me because I wasn't in possession, but the some some some some tickets.

So I

don't know

if Hubbard

still does it or

Well, there's remember last year being a lot of aerial fireworks in neighborhoods around Troost that, you know, were almost rival rivalry rivalry? Rivalry. What this what this volunteer fire department fire district, guys and gals have been were putting on. It was pretty pretty close to pretty spectacular for neighborhood fireworks. So okay.

Okay. Next topic, and I gotta beat this 09:00. E bike safety or otherwise emerging transportation technologies. I thought we had maybe some guests here to listen in on that earlier tonight. Just to level set, we are working with, I'll say, Barry Ellsner and other cities within Clackamas County to put together loosely the the parameters of what would look like a local ordinance on these types of motorized vehicles, e or gas.

Right? They're they're emerging. And right now, it would be coming from a more of an educational perspective. We're working with maybe the parents and Happy Valley actually had a town hall on this topic down at city hall. So we could do some something like that as your staff to bring people together and talk to them about what they're seeing or what they could use help with.

But as you saw, I think as recently in California where a 14 year old had an accident with an 85 year old pedestrian and the mother is being criminally charged. So it's very scary right now and you're seeing more and more of these types of transportation in various cities. So good time to have a good conversation, an educational conversation. Nothing, strict or enforcement at this point. We could have our law enforcement there.

Our police chief, they're already working information with the Camby School District. So a lot of good partnership opportunities to tackle this topic. But we are starting to hear from bike and ped committee and residents about concerns, for,

you know,

youth maybe without a helmet or, you know, on a sidewalk with a throttle, gas powered deal. So

I've been hearing a lot.

I'll come back to you. Is the bike and ped committee

The track and safety commission?

Them too?

I I don't know about bike and ped. I'm not liaisons to that one. I'm sure they are

talking about it. They are.

But it's we haven't had a robust discussion, but it's it's come up because it's coming up all over on Facebook and everywhere else and a lot of neighborhoods are having complaints about kids, you know, little rambunctious in the neighborhood, so I'll try to BPC. And and also on the logging trail, excessive speeds on the logging trail. And I don't know. I'm I'm some are helmeted and some are not, but the bike rodeo might be a good education point Yeah. For that.

Sounds good point. Thank you.

Yes. Councilor Stearns. Personally, as somebody who commutes a lot on foot, I would really like to get the bikes off the sidewalks. I mean, maybe exception for if they're, like, under 10 or something, but but, you know, dodging a bike going fifteen, twenty miles per hour isn't fun. And and if it hits me, I'm not gonna really be that much more or less upset if it was ebike or a regular bike.

So I think the bikes should be if they're a vehicle, they should be on the streets. And if they're a toy, maybe, you know, for little kids, like, exception for that. But I think a lot of places don't allow bikes on the sidewalks, and I have had to dodge the bikes on the sidewalks or in the crosswalks too. I mean, you're supposed to walk the bike on the crosswalk, but we

have boom.

Walked right down into the crosswalk.

Are you talking about, like, the e bikes? In what way it doesn't matter whether in general.

It's bikes in general because a a bike, a regular bike without a e bike can go up to 20 miles per hour easily, you know, if you're pedaling it good. So, I mean, I don't think it matters if I get hit by one or the other, really. It'll hurt either way.

So so Fair point. Fair point. Turn it when you're

ready.

Thanks, AJ. Emily, do you have any kind of a status update on that conversation? I'd like I know that Barry Elder's working with, like, Happy Valley as an example. Mhmm. Where is that at in your guys' process?

Yeah. Good question. This is very timely because just a day or two ago, you know, Emily Matazar, also at my firm, reached out to see what Camby was doing because Happy Valley, you know, had asked as well. I think, Randy, you might have been on that email of Happy Valley. So we're kind of waiting for a client to really wanna jump into the weeds here.

Is it gonna be you guys? Maybe.

We were

thinking it was Happy Valley. I think we need to do something. We Yeah. I would be interested in what the Happy Valley notes were. Heather, did you wanna offer anything?

Did you go to that meeting? From here.

Do do you did you have something you wanted to say about the Happy Valley meeting?

Yeah. Can just tell you what my experience Okay.

Because I do think we need to with, like you said, Randy, we have emerging technology, if you will, and there should be some parameters around it and some kind of enforcement. So For

the record, my name is Heather Doran. I did have some gentlemen that were with me tonight, and I apologize that they thought it was gonna be a lot quicker than it was. So we actually I used to reside in Happy Valley, so when they offered their town forum, we went because I do have one son that has an ebike. I have an ebike, a pedal bike as well. I was actually really happy with the way that they presented.

I will say that it felt like the entire room was filled with people that were very opposed to ebikes in general. However, the police were there, and they said, we love seeing that the kids are outside. Our biggest thing is we want to impose safety. So they were trying to come up with opinions and plan that night on if they could do some kind of, like, a safety course that was required. They also spoke about, like, a permit to be able to finance that kind of safety course.

And then also, it was all about rider safety. So if one one one time you get pulled over, it's a warning. Second time, you're in front of the judge. And if you go in front of the judge, you're at risk of either having your bike taken, having some kind of legal action happen, whether that's a ticket or whether it goes upon your parents if you're a minor. So I was really happy with the outcome of that meeting because I felt like it wasn't just strictly like, nope, there's a door.

Mhmm.

So I was really hoping that you guys had gotten word of what they were open minded to to see if that was something that we could bring to the city of Camby. As a parent, I will say my kid sold his Xbox to be able to get his ebike. Mhmm. And I feel like in this next generation that we have coming, it's amazing to have these kids outside. I have a garage full of kids that are wrenching on their things all the time.

It's very fun. But then also at the same time, I live in a neighborhood where I have people that their kids are now grown, and they actually don't like the kids in the neighborhood. And it seems as though they don't like them on their scooters, their puddle bikes, or their e bikes. And there is confusion because according to our HOA, bikes have to be ridden on the sidewalk, not in the street. So I do feel like there is some confusion. I also was hoping that we were gonna have police presence here tonight because I think that there's a series of confusion too. There's some officers that wave at the kids and give them a thumbs up. Then there's other officers that are pulling them over saying, your parents need to come pick you up. So in the city, can be right now. We don't have any consistency.

Thank you. I feel like this is the opening of the discussion, so I appreciate your input and maybe Thank

you for inviting me up. Pardon? Thank you for inviting me up.

Of course. And maybe Randy could get in touch with the Happy Valley and get the notes from that meeting

and Yes.

I don't know. Maybe we'd They

were hoping we'd go forward together. They were hoping to have a plan in action before summer break because they wanted to make sure that kids knew what to was expected them before they were out of school.

Okay. Thanks, Heather. Appreciate it.

Yep. Councilor Patton.

Yeah. So it sounds like to me like, this is a very important issue. It sounds like it sounds to me like half the valley and us are kinda playing chicken to see who is going to jump off cliff to do this. And rather than doing that, and, obviously, there's a cost involved with legal counsel working on this, perhaps we should reach out to them and say, look. You're trying to answer the same question we are.

Likely, whatever comes of this will be in similar ordinance for us as it is for you. How about we partner as two cities interested in fixing this problem and split the cost of developing this thing and develop it together and have that much more community input into the process and then go from there.

I did that. I suggested an eighty twenty split Happy Valley can be. Just kidding. Fifty fifty. Fifty fifty.

I'm fine with an eighty twenty split.

Okay. I think we got clear direction there to do more. I wanted to hit a budget preview really quickly with you all as counsel before we head into budget budget next next week. Week. Just very high level, we've talked a lot about this upcoming budget, and I wanted to make sure that we are right track wrong track after this discussion because we're getting ready to print.

Our finance director, I think, is here today tonight. Her staff have had heads down. They're they're working really hard to get you a budget book Friday at lunch, and that's nearly a week ahead of time this year. So hopefully, you'll appreciate that. We do. We did have a question about e copies PDF or hard copy, get your fingers on. So if you wanna opt into, I guess, an electronic version, just let me know because I'm assuming people like to turn the page and make notes, but we wanna make that offer to you.

I like paper.

I don't wanna assume. If you if you want I did get two requests from the budget committee to just have it on their computer, so we're gonna do that too. Just a reminder, we did check with Maya, there is an election of a chair and vice chair process every year for budget committee. There will be an urban renewal portion of the meeting. We'll be set up on the floor like you've been in the past, and the directors will be in attendance.

The level of their participation could vary. We're still working on that. We're doing a run through next week. Okay. First of all, big picture on the budget that as as we are looking at it right now, we wanted to give a nod to your past work.

You guys had to make some tough decisions as a council and a budget committee and as a staff, the department head team on down. So I would just like to say, you know, well done there and highlight a few key themes that I'm trying to build into the budget message with confidence going forward. I will say I think the city budget is in a good position. I'm choosing that word very carefully. It's, there's work to be done.

The four themes that I'd like to focus on is the reserve policy that the council has set for the general fund as number one. That is 20%, and we are gonna deliver a budget that ends on June 30 with 20% ending fund balance in the general fund. But I'm also gonna highlight the overall health of the total budget and some changes that we're proposing based on best practices measured against our peers in the region. So you'll get to see how you stack up next to some other cities, what their policies are in terms of officers per thousand or amount they contribute to the library or the tax property tax rate that can be compared to Malala, which I had no idea Malala is the highest property tax in the county. It's $5.21.

Second is a focus on forecasting. So we're not just, you know, we don't just have our eyes on the year ahead. We gotta look a couple years out and forecast what we think major drivers are gonna be that are coming at us, known expenses as we'll call it. Third, talk about right sizing, if you will. It's a term I've heard many of you use, right sizing based on service level community conversations.

And then lastly, my recommendations for actions you can take now to hopefully avoid turbulence down the road before inflation and and big projects catch up with you. Okay. So number one, just high level, the the proposed budget is going to look like approximately a $20,000,000 general fund. And and again, you know most of everything I'm gonna cover here tonight, so this is not news flash. I'm just trying to highlight what the disposition is gonna be when we get together on May 14 and make sure these are the things that you want to to see us hit on.

As you know, 77% of that budget is personnel, which includes the police department, our administration, parks, cemetery, HR, finance, etcetera, that all nest under the general fund. And as of today, when we print this budget today, we don't have April, May, or June three months worth of expenditures, but we're at a 30% reserve level in the general fund. And that's per we're projecting that to be on June 30. So right now, Denise can correct me if I'm wrong, but we're more like 50% unspent with three months left to go. So we have our crystal balls out saying on June 30, we think we're gonna be at 30% ending fund balance.

So I tried to put that in numbers for you. Out of $20,000,000 operating budget, if we really hit 30%, that means you got $6,000,000 sitting in reserves. And the question that I will walk through with you all is, could could that be deployed to areas you've been looking at in the past for serve enhanced service levels? Whether it's police, whether it's library, you know, parks, you'll have those choices in front of you. Why is that money not being spent? Where could it be spent elsewhere sort of conversation? Yes, mayor.

Thank you, attorney. And if I'm looking at the number, how much of that is projects that are in queue that we haven't pulled the trigger on already?

The the one big one that's a great question, mayor. We had anticipated last budget your last budget meeting to send 1,000,000 in general fund to Maple. And so that would be a big piece that's sitting on the sidelines still that we have not transferred out.

Okay. But But everything else is kind of smaller projects. Smaller.

Okay. Yeah.

So the I highlighted 20%, so we're gonna try and hit 4,000,000 for you when you get together on the fourteenth, and you fund balance for the upcoming budget year. Really quickly, again, that North Star is 20% next week, but the under what one of the changes that I'd like to explore with you is to sort of break up that $4,000,000 that represents 20 percent on the next page here into a sort of a bucket of earmarks, reserves assigned for different savings accounts for things that you have expressed interest in over the last year that I've been with you. Obviously, you've done it already for PEG, the public education money you get, which is not much. Maple Street turf replacement is a you put $35,000 in there last year to help replace the turf. We're gonna we're proposing to do that again to bring that to 70,000.

And then assigned for CAMI Parks and Rec, We're parking some general fund money in that account for Parks and Recreation so that you can do maintenance, low hanging fruit on your parks at a more with a, you know, a little bit more speed. You've got you're creating a savings account. Fully replacement will help with replacement of police cars that are in the general fund, which are hard to just kind of pluck because it's so labor intensive in the general fund. But if you're saving a little bit year over year, you're trying to resell the old ones. I think we have a couple police cars in this year's budget that are over 150,000 on the odometer.

And according to our police chief, that's like 200,000 on a regular car because they're idling all the time and they're doing different things, the engines and whatnot.

It had been a practice for fourteen years, council president Hensley. Every year, we're yeah. Two cars Yeah. Just because of the, you know, the wear and tear because they hit it's double what's on the odometer in terms of the Exactly. Life life of the car that's been used up. So That's

what I've heard. Property acquisition slowly, socking away, money annually in the budget in case you would like to participate in helping activate an area that could use activation in terms of an enhancement, whether it be a downtown project or maybe we get into Canby Urban Renewal version two somewhere else and you you have resources to bring to the table. And then the your typical review reserve for future expenses there. So I just point that out because it's a different way of looking at all of your contingency in the general fund, and you will have that to look after next week and give us feedback. General fund, so forecasting, I've heard from many of you about known expenses and starting to really share with the budget committee our forecast of known expenses that we see.

So we're gonna have some graphs that will show you in the budget. I had a few here for examples. But no surprise, the labor is outpacing our revenue, you know, your revenue in that general fund. And again, I'm just talking about one chapter here, the general fund. Right.

Your property taxes come in and their cap thinks about measure 50 at 3% annually. But if you look at the just the top four or five cost drivers that you're well aware of over the years, These are real numbers that you're gonna see in this year's budget with health insurance at Regents spiking 13.5% in one year, Kaiser 5%. Regions has finally caught up with Kaiser. I remember when I was in Beaverton, Kaiser was much cheaper to per per employee. That's they're basically the same now.

We are mid cycle with our two unions our police association and asked me, and that was negotiated three and a half percent for three years. So hopefully, we'll see a little bit of stability there. Then I got a chart on PERS where that's come for the last ten years, and we don't have the two year forecast yet ahead, but we're work Denise is working on getting that. And then all of your COVID and ARPA dollars, my department heads Tuesday reminded me in a meeting that that's why you see in the general fund more dollars back then because you guys were really benefiting by using, and deploying COVID and ARPA money. So I saw the list of how you got it up to different businesses in town and and what you used it for here at the city.

So real quickly, I just these these are gonna be type of budget committee slides you're gonna see next week. This shows ten year PERS increase. You've heard Jennifer at the school district talk about how that is affecting the school district budget as well. Liability or CIS rates, that is a no fun line right there. That's as you know, we've been using CIS past couple years.

Annual health cost per employee, so if you have a family and you are employed by the city, that's your benefit package. There you go. So lots of fun grass. We'll move we'll keep moving along here because I don't wanna get down the weeds, but FTEs are flatlining. We did hire during the COVID years, so there was a little bit of a spike you can see, but not much.

It's kind of a flat. It's flat this year. LGPI interest rates are down from 2021, So you can see how we're and that that impacts us a lot because we got $5,060,000,000 bucks in there. And when the interest rate changes by one or 2%, it really drops off and we don't earn in our funds, our different funds as much as we have in the past. So you're gonna see that in the budget and you're gonna go, what happened?

And that's why. So on those on the interest line item in each budget. Here's the peer review chart. That's where we show how we rate how we stack with other Clackamas cities on our property tax, our general fund reserve policies, officer per thousand really can be is at 1.5 and I think they're what are you? First, second, maybe safest city and Oregon? Third, second. Second. Yeah. That's great. Okay.

So next, the third theme is what are we potentially missing out of? I spent a lot of time thinking about this being interim city administrators. I call it housekeeping, but these are typically things that we wanna do after the budget ends, and, I have time, to to do a thorough, research looking under all the rocks. So we have seven franchise agreements. These are companies operating on a right of way, conducting business in our right of way.

So we're gonna look at all seven of those franchises, make sure they're current. I got Northwest Natural expiring next month, I'm being told. That's a twenty year franchise that's coming due here on in June. We're pursuing federal and state grants, not the grant that was mentioned earlier tonight, but we we do have some earmarks for the Canby Area Transit Headquarter and some public safety technology and equipment that senators Merkley and Wyden are putting in for us. We have about 79 parcels, approximately 200 acres in Camby that we'd like to have some very cordial welcome conversations with.

Their islands in the city just over time represents about 30,000,000 in assessed valuation that's not coming into the city. And then really taking a look at stakeholder and community conversations. This is what I mean by rightsizing service levels with community priorities, the must versus the nice that I've heard almost each of you ask me about, what are our must versus our nice to haves? Because all we do what we do is we provide services. We're not running a business per se, and you're gonna see that.

Not gonna make anything. You're gonna see a lot of funds upside down in expense versus the revenue they bring in, and that's just that's public service. So we're gonna test appetites for investing in public safety, do some surveying, maybe enhancing library services, take a look at our economic development model, parks and recreation, just a list there that goes on and on, taking a look at another version of urban renewal. In my previous two jurisdictions, we had a percent for art that could be dedicated that's worked off of a building just like your community your construction excise tax that you have here. It's you get $1 per square foot and you did 75,000 worse per square foot of buildings permits last year, so you got 75,000 to put towards housing mayor.

Thank you. Your honor roll. I appreciate it. Oh, I'm over. We're at nine zero two. I'm almost done.

I know your last one.

I get I need a motion if we wanna continue or or not discussion.

Let's let him finish. I'll I'll move that he finish no later than 09:15.

I promise. I'll I'll just be done on 09:05 hopefully.

All those in favor, I'm going until 09:15.

Aye. Aye.

Aye. Aye.

Alright. Thank you. Lastly, I went and and combed through all of your community outreach, all of your cultivating can be. Jamie and Don sent me all of the inputs from the community that have come in over time and what people value most. So we will be focusing on you've got two dozen active plans, no less. We did an inventory, the department heads, two dozen. That's a lot of planning can be. So there's opportunity there to get those plans put in, to retain the small town charm that you hear so much about

hearing There's plenty of plans or ideas, and I'm sure that there's corresponding binders. Well, it used to be binders on a shelf that you can just go and and pull off and pull the dust off of

and Do we have a

plan for the plans? I've been purging my garage. I have a four drawer filing cabinet in my garage. I have binders.

Yeah. And you're updating those plans. So as you saw tonight, TSP did Don say 2016. Yeah. So that's ten year plan right there being updated. Good job.

I think I have the 2016 binder. Alright.

So we're ready to go and, our our goal is lunchtime, you'll see packets from us.

Thanks.

Great. Item d, parks maintenance fee discussion.

Met with the parks and rec committee. We have found common ground on the benchmark of getting the 2017 general fund contribution back, and we missed it by $80. So Denise made the transfer, through a journal entry, last week to true up the 80,000, and I think the Parks and Rec Committee would be happy to hear that you all, approved us doing that, supported us

k. Doing that.

Great. Thanks, Randy. Since we've got time, we'll quickly go through some mayor's business. This week is municipal clerk's week. So the third through the eighth. So I wanna say thank you to Maya and Theresa who are the glue that holds this council together. They schedule our lives. They keep us on track. So thank you for all that you do for us and for your peers in city hall. So you do a great job and we appreciate you and Theresa very much.

So thank you. Housing. Really interesting conversation this week about housing. And it comes at a good time when we're talking about our comp plan in urban growth boundary. So just a example in the city of Camby, North Side of town, there's a house listed.

It's brand new. Its listing price is $850,000 is its listing price. It's I don't know how big the lot is, but it's square footage wise, it's smaller than my house. And when we talk about where are we going as a city, I went to a number of the school board. I heard the school's presentation a couple of times about, you know, this levy that's coming up The question that's come up is, you know, we're not how are families even moving into town to have they they're not.

They're not moving in. They're moving in with the equivalent of one or zero children moving into our community. And so and who you know, what young families are able to do an $850,000 home. So as we are looking as counsel and as a city and we're, you know, as we're planning, you know, how do we figure out because that has always it's been the question for the fourteen years that I've sat in this chair of how do we get to an affordable home. You know?

Is there a definition of that? And it's gotta be more than what they look at as a mean income level for people because that's not it. It doesn't seem to be working. But if the demand is there, builders are gonna build $850,000 homes. That's, I mean Yeah.

I think the crux of it as well. So I know as we move into our comp plan and we look at what's gonna be coming on board in terms of growth, where we wanna put houses, what type of housing do we wanna do. We were we saw it with on the North side of town on, you know, Redwood and whatnot with, you know, 5,000, 6,000 square foot lots, and the homes are built. I mean, they're built to the max setbacks. And they're still they were then starting what were those, ICON homes starting at? Like, $5.50, 600,000?

I think they're in the low 6 hundreds, but now you've got going down at home. It's in the mid

I bought an icon home for 669,000.

So just good for you. It's fantastic.

It's public record.

You can

look at any loan. But, again, looking at that, what is that? How do we is there a way to bring that down? And I don't know. I just I if there's a city that's figured it out, I would love to meet with them and get that that hammered out. But it was just something that I brought up and wanted to to share with this group. I don't have anything for Clackamas Clackamas County Coordinating Committee. That's tomorrow night. Regional One, Air Commission on Transportation had an an additional meeting on Monday night

to talk

about, again, ODOT projects transportation. Again, it turned into another an even bigger quagmire than what it was. So I won't bore you with the the gory details of that. Vote. Ballots are out. Get them filled out. Whatever your opinion is, make it be known. Get out there and vote, please. Get the ballots dropped off. They say vote.

I think I said vote a couple of times. Please vote. Again, we're celebrating two hundred and fifty years of our country this July 4, and this is kind of a paramount piece to our country and defines us as a represented republic that we are. And so vote, and I am done. Councilor Waterman, anything?
