I'll now call to order the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners Business Meeting on June 11, 2026. County Administrator Gary Schmidt, start off with the roll there.

Commissioner Savas.

Present. Chair Roberts. Here. All right. Thank you. If you'd all please stand if able and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Okay, so first up is public communication. Testimony is limited to three minutes per person. As always, I ask comments to be respectful and courteous. As a reminder, you can also email submissions for public communication at bcc at clackamas.us, and they'll be accepted as part of the public record. I'll take in-person testimony first, and I'll turn to our clerk that's going to help us moderate the in-person and virtual testimony.

Good morning. I will begin with Patricia Torrenson. Patricia if you would come up and then I would also ask if anyone if you wish to comment there are blue Cards up at the front of the room please fill one out drop it in the bucket and I will collect them

I'm here again. My name is Patricia Torsen. I'm from Malala. And I am bringing a proposal today for Feed the Need for our senior citizens of Malala, for the Malala area seniors. that we have two food banks in Malala that are contributing to people in need. But I've gone to the stores to ask them if we can get bread and some miscellaneous things at the senior center to help the seniors. And they say they're giving to the food banks. don't feel that they need to do for us. And I have been trying to help by getting bread is a major thing that they need, bread, eggs. noodles simple things to fix so I've been trying to help out a little bit with what I could and they are so appreciative I just get four loads of white bread four loads of brown bread I get bagels and put a couple bagels in Ziploc bags and let them, on Friday they have bingo and so I let them, I sent them out on the table and let them help themselves to what I can. But I can't do it. very much. I'm on social security too and so I'm trying to help out what I can but there is definitely a need. These people live on such a little amount that little things, eggs, we have a farmer that brings in eggs and they share the eggs. Some of them only take six so that somebody else can have six. But there is a need out there for our seniors, and we're trying to help them. The seniors give to the center part of the nutrition program that we can't $100 a month to help out on other things. I've talked to our board and there is such a need for helping the people with this food situation that I want to be able to keep this up. I've been spending between $40 and $50 a week just out of my pocket to help out. They're so appreciative of it. The need is so great that I just want to keep it going, but I can't do it myself. And so I have a proposal here for the commission. I do have, I had one copy of pictures But my printer ran out of ink. So there's one set of pictures there and I made copies of the other. I have never done this before. And I put a letter out. I'll be done. I put a letter out first and then I put a proposal and I hope I did right. Thank you for everything.

And Patricia, before you leave, first of all, for all of you, this is an amazing lady. Comes here, she rubs. Honestly, working hard to raise funds for seniors and you're doing an amazing job. I'd ask you to stick around and we can kind of update you on some things going on and perhaps after the meeting we could also catch up on some other things. So, thank you.

Next up, I have a Lynn Heider. Lynn, if you'd please come forward. Please introduce yourself, you'll have three minutes.

Thank you. My name's Lynn Heider, and I'm a bit nervous because I've never been to a county commission meeting, much less come to speak. I have been a voter for 60 years, the last eight of them here in Oregon City. And I have always voted in favor of police, school, and fire levies until this year. And Mr. Chairman, I want to tell you that it was not anti-law enforcement at all. That vote was tax fatigue. The people of Clackamas County tend to love our law enforcement agencies. And as you know, Mr. Chairman, in your 15 years as sheriff, you enjoyed a tremendously high approval rating and you passed several levies. But just speaking from personal experience in Oregon City, my property taxes went up 10.2% alone last year. and the levy that was put on the ballot this election comes on the heels of some very expensive but much needed uh... fire district and uh... school uh... levies that were approved so now we all find ourselves in a very difficult situation The county did find a way to build a lovely new courthouse without going to the public for additional taxes. And I hope that whatever budget cuts were needed to facilitate that aren't coming on the backs of the sheriff's department. And I read in your KGW Digital interview that you're considering bringing the sheriff's levy back in the November election. I personally am concerned that that may be too soon, considering how voters are feeling right now. And their overwhelming dismissal of the, if I may say so, ridiculous transportation levy that was on the ballot as well. So I'm afraid November's too soon, but if you do come back, if you do find that to be necessary, I'd just ask you to read the room and consider making it a continuing levy, not one that will add new taxes. Thank you.

Thank you very much, and thank you for coming before the board and that's one of the things that We've been asking is we want to hear from the public and so first of all you did a great job You're very articulate and thank you for taking the time to come here today And I encourage others to let us know your thoughts and opinions about it, so I appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for the opportunity Next up I have a Jay Jones Jay Jones, please come forward I Please introduce yourself. You'll have three minutes.

Excellent. My name is Jason S. Jones. I go by Jay. My mom calls me Jason. I'm here on behalf of the businesses in Clackamas County. I'm the president and CEO of the North Clackamas Chamber of Commerce. I've been there three and a half years. Obviously, when we had the ARPA funds that we delivered, we were able to prop up our businesses. Our business community is really impacted. We had $1.4 million. We were able to keep people going and businesses thriving. Well, those funds ended, and I've been trying to get in front of you guys to talk about a sustainable system. When I was in IT, we had development and we could really look at different product and services and do different offers. The way we're set up, if someone comes in and they fill out a permit, none of that money goes to the Chamber of Commerce. And so we have to look at membership and sponsorship, which obviously in this socioeconomic time has been impacted. So I have a proposal for you guys for $250,000 for the chamber. We can develop other products and services. I have a... plan to really engage our growing elderly population. We have very many senior citizen facilities in Clackamas County. And I also know that none of us can benefit for chambers going under like Wilsonville did. So I have copies here. I've worked with you guys several times since I've been enrolled and we've done really good work as far as to government affairs, advocacy, development, tourism. Majority of the organizations in our state don't work with a nonprofit that benefits businesses. So there's no way for Business Oregon, any of those companies that I've talked to, all of them. And so with Clackamas County being in our name and us working hand in hand on very many projects, I would hope you guys would look at our proposal and I would hope you'd approve it. So I don't know what the protocol is, but I do have them available for you guys. All right, thank you. I mean, part of my time, that's good for me. Thank you, Jay. Thanks, Jay.

Good morning, I think that that is all of my in-person comments for general public comment if you However, there were a couple of folks who were a little ambiguous if you were hoping for general public comment now is the time Otherwise, I will move on to virtual public comment if you would wish to comment during general public communication Please use the raise hand feature and I will call on you in the order received.

I

Mr. Chair, I do not have any hands raised. All right, thank you, sir.

Okay, we'll move on, and I'll now close the public communication portion and turn to Gary. What do you have first on our agenda today?

Chair, would you like me to comment on the senior center funding the county provides at this point?

Yeah, we could go ahead and stop and address that issue, and I think a couple other folks want to make comments, so that'd be great. Thank you.

Commissioners, you'll have this on your consent agenda next week, actually, and you already have in the prior weeks. The county does provide funding to all of the senior community centers within Clackamas County, all of them, both urban and rural, to provide support for food and other services. These are funds that come from the Oregon Department of Human Services, and there's a state transportation fund for older and disabled Oregonians. So Clackamas, each year, subrecipient grants provides this to those senior centers, which we've done for Malala and other areas. So we do provide that, and those range from between $500,000 to $1 million over a two or three year period. And then earlier this year, you did provide emergency funding to the Clackamas Service Center to provide food for all Clackamas residents during that loss of federal SNAP benefits. So we're doing a little bit. We're doing the best we can, but we do provide those services currently to senior centers.

Right. And to just kind of follow up on Patricia's comment, I know that's not enough and we are working in other avenues and we don't intend to give up. And so hopefully you can stick around. Maybe I can chat with you after the meeting if you have time. And did any other of my colleagues have any comments on this?

No, I understand, Patricia, and I thank you for coming before us again. You're such an advocate for your community, and I so appreciate that. Because it's not meeting the need, if you could provide us with what organization those who want to give to the FIBA need, that would be helpful for us.

Yeah, I tried to do it in a proposal there.

Okay. Okay. All right. And it's probably over here with our clerk. So thank you very much. And I, but I want to broadcast it to everyone. See, so that's, that's why we're up here with the microphone so we can tell everyone where to do it. So we'll, we'll make it available for everyone.

All right. Okay.

All right. Anything else? Okay. Gary, we'll go ahead and move on.

Thank you. Thank you. Next are three public hearings. The first public hearing is approval of a boundary change proposal number 2026-003 for sanitary services to territory located in the Parker Crest neighborhood of West Lynn. There are no county general funds involved. Jeff Munns, Assistant County Counsel, will present. Go ahead, please.

Thank you. Morning, Chair and Commissioners. Another boundary change proposal. This one is an annexation into the Tri-City Service District, a component unit of our Water Environment Services Department here at the county. This annexation is to bring an undeveloped property into the district to provide sewer services for planned development of multiple single-family residences in this plot. It is inside the city of West Linn, but in reviewing the petition, it is compliant with county code, or comp plan, that is, as well as ORAS 198 and the Metro Code, because this property is inside the urban growth boundary. staff recommends approval of this the proper notice has been sent out we've heard no public comment or anything further to share with you regarding this application and so it is consistent with our code and ready for approval.

All right thank you Mr. Munns. Colleagues any questions?

Just one quick one how big is the parcel?

This is I have it here it is It's not real big. It's a couple acres, if I remember correctly. I've got it listed in here in the kind of deeper end of the document.

It is. There's a lot of pages, right?

Yeah, I know. There's a lot of criteria to review, but it is, you know, sorry, I wish I had that right at the top here. But yeah, I don't have it, just looking at it real quick. Okay, that's all right. But it's not a large parcel. It sits off of Parker a little bit. I would, from my memory, I want to say it's under two acres. Okay, thank you.

all right not seeing any other questions i'll open the public hearing on this item so i'll turn to the clerk again help us moderate that i do not have any blue cards for this boundary proposal if you would like to comment on boundary proposal 2026-003 please come up and fill out a card

Seeing none, I will turn to virtual commentary. If you would like to comment on boundary proposal 2026-003 and you are online, please use the raise hand feature and I will call on you in the order received.

Mr. Chair, I do not have any hands raised. All right. I'm hoping we're not too intimidating here. We want people to come forward. So thank you. I'll now close the public hearing. And if we'll go ahead and move forward. Colleagues, is there a motion?

I move we approve boundary change proposal 2026-003. Second.

Okay, Commissioner Helm has moved to approve the boundary change proposal 2026-003. Commissioner Savas is second of that. Any further discussion? Seeing none, clerk, will you please call the poll?

Commissioner Schrader. Aye. Commissioner Sonnes?

Aye.

Commissioner Helm? Aye. Chair Roberts? Aye. Motion passes 4-0, Mr. Chair. All right, and thank you.

Gary, what's next?

Thank you. The next public hearing is approval of a boundary change proposal number 2026-008 for annexation of Sandy Rural Fire Protection District into the Clackamas Fire District. No county general funds are involved. Jeff Muntz, Assistant County Counsel, will present also. Go ahead.

Yeah, thank you. This is a boundary change that has been initiated by the Clackamas Fire District Board and also was endorsed and approved by the Sandy Rural Fire District and they put a measure on the ballot this last May, Measure 3-634, which passed, which dissolved the Sandy Rural Fire District, which now allows for the Clackamas Fire District to annex all of the territory of the Sandy Rural Fire District. Over the last number of years, the Clackamas Fire District has been providing services to the Sandy Rural Fire District area, and so this then sort of formalizes an agreement that they've had where instead of doing it by contract, the Clackamas Fire District will take over that territory and administer it as part of their contiguous district. All proper notices have been sent out. I've received no public comment or any objections in any way to this proposed annexation. It is outside of the urban growth boundary, so it is consistent with ORS Chapter 198 as well as the county comp plan, but the Metro Code does not apply to this annexation. But with that, staff recommends the approval of this annexation. All right.

Thank you, Council. Any questions?

All right. Seeing none, I'll open the public hearing portion of this item and turn to the clerk again.

I do not have any blue cards for this particular boundary proposal. If you would like to comment on 2026-008, please fill out a card and come forward. Seeing none, I'll turn to virtual testimony. If you would like to testify, please use the raise hand feature and I will call on you in the order received. Mr. Chair, I do not have any hands raised. All right.

Colleagues, may I have a motion?

Would you like to do I move we approve boundary change proposal two zero two six zero zero eight a second All right any further discussion.

Let's see Commissioner Schrader has moved to prove the boundary change proposal 2026-008 Commissioner Savas is second of that and any other comments or Concerns clerk you please call the poll Commissioner Helton aye

Aye. Commissioner Schrader? Aye. Chair Roberts? Aye. Motion passes 4-0, Mr. Chair.

What's next, Gary? Thank you. The next public hearing is first reading of amendments to Clackamas County Code Chapter 8.10, short-term rentals and declaring an emergency. Increased short-term rental permit fees to generate approximately $558,100 of revenue to support short-term program staffing requirements. No county general funds are involved. Jeff Muntz, Assistant County Counsel, will present as well. Go ahead, Jeff.

Thank you. All right. I know this is an issue you're well familiar with. This comes at the end of a number of robust community meetings with individuals about the short-term rental topic, as well as a policy session just recently from Tony provided to you on June 2nd. So these are the proposed amendments we had discussed. The highlights to these amendments to Chapter 810 of the County Code are to require a land use compatibility statement for those applying for a short-term rental permit through the county as well as an increase in fees which in the amendments to the code we've removed the fee percentage from the code so you'll adopt that through your normal fee adoption process by a resolution and we'll talk more about the other fees and fines would be part incorporated into this code The estimates that you're provided the policy session where that this increase in fees will raise that five hundred fifty eight thousand dollars roughly to cover the cost of the program which would be two individuals a code enforcement specialist and a management analyst to receive the complaints process the the enforcement and bring it forward to a hearings officer if the Behavior isn't remedied or if the individuals don't register their short-term rentals this code 810 and involves many other portions of our County code to enforce a matters that relate to kind of livability in the county including the noise control chapter 605 vehicle parking and towing the transient room tax code for the abatement of dangerous buildings and structures and the application of the building code, our solid waste code, as well as the zoning and development ordinance. This chapter itself creates new portions for enforcement, which would be failure to register their short-term rental, failure to pay the fees, the 1.5%, subletting a short-term rental, exceeding the maximum occupancy of the structures, as well as failing to include their REGISTRATION FOR THEIR SHORT-TERM RENTAL IN ANY ADVERTISEMENT AND FOR POSTING IT VISIBLE FROM THE STREET WHEN IT'S BEING OCCUPIED. ALSO, IT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF THIS CODE TO TRANSFER SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION. ANYONE AFTER TRANSFER WOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR A NEW REGISTRATION TO OPERATE. IN THE REPORTS YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'VE DONE A LOT OF ANALYSIS OF THE ESTIMATES OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY PAYING IN THE COUNTY FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS. THE AVERAGE DAILY RATE IS $261. And so the average stay is three to four days in a short-term rental. So that generates approximately $783 to $1,044 in short-term rental revenue. We have approximately 1,300 short-term rentals we understand are operating in Clackamas County with under 300 of them currently registered in this program. Something we hope to remedy with these requirements. As part of the enforcement, I talked about the fee. The 1.5% fee will be adopted as part of Appendix A to the county code, and then any penalties that would be imposed through the enforcement process would become part of the fine schedule in Appendix B to the county code. You have not yet adopted any fines or fees. We have some staff recommendations in here. In reviewing kind of the severity of these, they're similar to a priority two violation under our existing code enforcement process, and those penalties would be in the $750 to $250 range for the penalties imposed at a hearing, and the citation amount that would be issued by a code enforcement specialist under this program would be currently approximately $411. I attached some additional information for review, we can consider at the next public hearing on this matter, considering dog services has similar sets of citations, they don't impose additional penalties at the hearing, but code enforcement of course has a range from priority one to priority four for citations and violations, and those are, CITATIONS OF THE TIME THAT THE CITATION ISSUED, BUT THE PENALTY IS IMPOSED WITH THE HEARINGS OFFICER. SO DIFFERENT CRITERIA TO CONSIDER. WE LOOK AT THIS KIND OF SEVERITY THAT'S MORE ADMINISTRATIVE TYPE VIOLATIONS. AND OF COURSE THE OTHER PROVISIONS LIKE NOISE CONTROL ARE ENFORCED WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WHEN THEY'RE RESPONDING TO A CALL. AND OR SOME OF THE FIRE QUESTIONS WE HEARD IN THE PUBLIC MEETINGS WOULD BE IMPOSED BY THE FIRE DISTRICT UP THERE ON THE MOUNTAIN. Happy to answer any questions about that, but we staff recommends setting this for a second hearing June 25th to consider approval and additional public comment All right.

Thank you. Mr. Runs. Go ahead Commissioner Salmas.

Yeah, I read some of the emails that have been Circulated and some of them have a similar theme to what we heard not only at Resort at the Mountain, when we had that meeting out there, but also prior to that, prior emails and communications over the years about STR. So I want to make it perfectly clear, Mr. Munns, if I say anything wrong, please correct me. Don't be bashful, don't be shy, correct me. I think there's a misunderstanding that this STR ordinance requires people to pay... the tourism taxes that are actually required by state. So regardless of whether we have a short-term rental policy or not, anyone that has a hotel or overnight accommodation such as short-term rentals, regardless of our policy, is required to pay those state fees. That's law. Okay, the portion when we first initiated the short-term rental was 0.85, so for every $100 contextually here, you threw a lot of numbers out, but contextually for every, let's say the overnight stay at an STR is $100, in the current scenario, the 0.85, that would mean 85 cents. per hundred dollars okay so this is going to go from eighty five cents to a dollar fifty for one night at a one hundred dollar room rental if it's two hundred dollars you double that proportionally but I know you threw a lot of dollars out it does add up to a lot of money but I think contextually I think people thought that we were you know they interpreted some of those fees as being applied to them annually and it's not and again just to clarify the you know, those requirements apply, the state requirements apply regardless. Anything else? Am I correct in that?

You're correct. Yeah, the transient lodging tax has different purposes. This fee is simply for the you know, registration and enforcement of short-term rentals and really trying to improve the livability in the areas where these exist to kind of conduct, counteract some of the behaviors that are bothersome to the neighbors. People up late, you know, we've heard complaints about a lot of noise complaints, garbage, too many cars, and fires at times or in places where they shouldn't be, and just disturbing their neighbors. So that's what this fee does, and it's separate from the tourism goals that the transient lodging tax is up for.

Okay. The other thing that's come up, and I've been asked to just clarify, and that relates to the zoning out there. So we have zoning in which STRs are not allowed, period, as I understand it. And maybe some confusion about mountain resort residential, such as Collins Lake. So can you speak to that?

Yeah, in the code we had exempted some of the commercial districts and we're exempting resorts. We haven't made any changes to that portion of this. That's the same as it's been since it was adopted. The applicability is for areas including within urban growth boundaries but shall not apply within the boundaries of any incorporated city. The chapter does not apply to hotels, motels, bed and breakfast facilities, hostels, lodging, and resort accommodations in commercial zones, campgrounds, or recreational camping facilities or organized camps. So the mountain rural residential designation up on the mountain, this code would apply to. I know there's been some confusion on that. There is also a commercial zone up there and a resort accommodation or hotel in a commercial zone, this would not apply to. But of course, the other part of this conversation that's come up is people having short-term rentals in our resource zones, like exclusive farm use zone, timber zones, and those are not allowed at all. And this is the reason why we were adding the land use compatibility statement, so that we're not inviting violations of state requirements under those resource zones and we have a chance to review those before people come in or hopefully before they come in and and have already invested creating a short-term rental space they come and check with the county and learn what their options are and then we can help them with answers

Yeah, thanks for that. I appreciate that clarification. I just wanted just to make a comment, and I'll yield back to the chair after, and that is that I did not run a rental business or a short-term rental hotel, but I've been in a business that is regulated, and those regulations change frequently, and part of doing business is trying to keep up with that, complying, make sure you don't put yourself in a where you're being penalized or you have a fine. So it's a lot of work. After years and years and years, it becomes taxing on one person to continue to do that. But that's the nature of, unfortunately, business. And so I just want to just say that I understand that rules sometimes or changing rules or regulations are always not welcomed and sometimes are misunderstood or confused so whatever we can do to provide clarity um you know here forward our staff are ready to do that so chair i yield that all right any other comments no i i just one clarification um

In the report, Jeff, and I just want to make sure that I'm reading this right, it says increase short-term rental permit fees to generate approximately $558,100 of revenue to support short-term program staffing requirements. IT'S NOT SHORT-TERM STAFFING, IT'S NOT SHORT-TERM STAFFING, RIGHT? RIGHT? IT'S FOR THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL IT'S FOR THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROGRAM.

PROGRAM.

IT'S NOT TEMPORARY STAFFING IT'S NOT TEMPORARY STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. REQUIREMENTS. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S NOT JUST FOR A SHORT-TERM PERIOD NOT JUST FOR A SHORT-TERM PERIOD THAT WE'RE GOING TO STAFF THIS THAT WE'RE GOING TO STAFF THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYONE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYONE CONFUSED THAT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO CONFUSED THAT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO STAFF IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND ST Oregon Resort, now it's changed the name. We heard you loud and clear. We're taking action. And to my colleagues who worked on this diligently to make sure we got something in place that has some teeth. And it's a little disconcerting to hear that only out of 1300 you know, short-term rentals less than 300 are actually registered. So I would say, too, that maybe at some point, once this program is up and running and the right way, and if that fee can be adjusted down, if we are ever at a place where we... have the revenue needed, we can bring that back down to a number that is more palatable. It's not a lot of money. Like for $300 a night, you're talking about $4.50. So it's not a huge amount of money, which is generally passed on to the renters anyway. But I think that we'll have to check metrics on this in six months or eight months or something. So back to you, Chair.

All right. The only comment I want to make is just kind of echo Commissioner Helm. There was a huge turnout in Welch's on this issue and I could appreciate all those people showing up and one of the biggest things that they were really wanting some action. and I don't blame them and want to apologize for the delay, but we did hear them loud and clear and came back and kind of put things on the fast track. So, Mr. Muntz, thank you. You've been instrumental in moving this forward. It is quite a lot more complicated than I think a lot of people might understand, so thank you. And so next, we'll go ahead and move to open the public hearing portion of this item, and I'll turn to the clerk again. You want to help us with that?

Do have a few info in person folks if you would like to comment Please fill out a blue card and I will call you up in the order received. I will begin with Peggy Hollyoak Please come forward

Thank you.

Please introduce yourself. You'll have three minutes.

My name is Peggy Holyoke. I also had a printer problem today. This is not much of what I had prepared to say, so... I am one little person here, and I'm representing me, but I'm also representing other short-term rental hosts and small business people all over. I'm an Oregonian by birth. I've been an Oregonian for 50-plus of my 72 years, and I love Oregon. I love community. I love building. And I hope I can share a couple of stories that will help you see the other side, because it is complex, and I really do thank you for your service. It is not easy, I am certain of that. I'm a nurse, veteran nurse, 19 years, med-surg unit, Providence Seaside Hospital. I love... listening to my patients, listening to their families, and then going to work to try to figure out the best outcome we can come up with for them, given all the circumstances. And it's hard, and it's never simple. When we decided we would retire to the Sandy area before we could afford for me to quit work, so I still commute every week to do two 12-hour shifts down there and then come back. But before we did that, we decided we wanted a beautiful property. We have a big family, and again, we love building community. I've volunteered with Special Olympics. I love hosting events, all kinds of things. So we called the county. Two times we talked with them. And we're assured that there was no ordinance that would stop us, or it would be a problem that we needed to be aware of for having a short-term rental in our primary home. It was a very simple home to make slight remodels so that we could use the major part of it to have guests from, and we've had from over 10 countries and more than half of the states in almost five years. I'll say 299 reviews and 4.97. My neighbor, I wrote her name down here, Rita Dunahoo, who said she would gladly be here as a support to what I'm saying, 40190 Southeast Thomas Road, if you want to talk with her. There has never been a noise issue. There has never been any issue. We see ourselves as adding to the community, as beautifying it, preserving the trees, preserving and promoting the businesses and the events and activities of our community. Another story. Years ago, my daughter's... Take your time.

Thank you.

Years ago... Thank you. My daughter's second grade teacher told me sadly that the second grade Mother's Day brunch was cancelled because of two boys with behavior problems. not good government. Why not send two boys to the principal's office and hold the brunch? So I know it says performance Clackamas, build public trust. public trust through good government and ensure safe, healthy, and secure community. That is what I see my role as helping you build public trust and have a safe, healthy, happy community and tourists all together. I love it. I love it as much as my nursing, but I can't do 12-hour shifts for the rest of my life. And so I'm here to say, what can you do to make it more hospitable to all those hosts who work very hard to increase the tourism dollars in the county, to support the fire? We've paid over $12,000 in transient lodging taxes already. to support emergency services, to help us do what we do really well when we are keeping the rules. Why not have those who don't keep the rules, and I have friends who live up in that area and were probably at that meeting, why not let them bear the financial brunt of how to operate the program so that yes, everybody, not just my neighbor, but everybody can have a community where they feel safe and healthy and happy and enjoy their beautiful country life. So, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Next up, I have an Ian McCluskey.

Good morning, commissioners. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Hi. That's a powerful statement to follow. Thank you Peggy, that was really beautiful. My name is Ian McCluskey. Like Peggy, I am a Clackamas County resident. I am a seventh generation Oregonian born and raised here and I'm a member of the Mount Hood community. And I have saved three historic Mount Hood cabins with my own paint splattered hands right here. I am what you would call when it comes to STRs, a hands-on owner operator. And I too want a safe, quiet, peaceful community. And I support, fully support all the rules on limiting the number of cars, the occupancy caps, the trash management, all of these rules make perfect sense. But some of the ones that are inserted into the current proposal do not. For one, I can't see that it distinguishes between the size or the type of short-term rental. And it treats the smallest cabins like the biggest ones, when common sense knows that the bigger ones have the most people, the most cars, and they also have the most resulting trash, noise, and complaint issues. Currently, the county allows parties up to 15 people. Our maximum occupancy at our cabin is four. We have no issues, and we're not part of the problem that this ordinance is trying to solve. Yet, we're lumped into it. The revision adds new expenses and new uncertainty to family operators like me where there wasn't before. The proposed addition that concerns me the most is that every registration expires after just two years and requires ongoing renewal. I respectfully understand that business requires often permits and that that comes with with changes in fees, but the Mount Hood cabins up there, like ours, that have survived for 100 years, have done so through hard work, pouring time, energy, money, and love into them so that they can be experienced 100 years from now. We make preservation decisions over generations, and this proposal would force us to work under a two-year permit horizon, and that's hard for business. If a property has demonstrated years of compliance, non-expiring use should be grandfathered in and not discretionary and not uncertain. And I want to weed out the party house problem as much as my neighbors. But this proposal takes kind of a one size fits all policy approach. So my request is simple. Please do not pass the adoption of these proposals as exactly as written and focus on the target root cause distinguishing different party property types and works with responsible owners like myself and perhaps Peggy and Instead of treating every single short-term rental as if they were the same and I would love Love to be part of that solution I would volunteer my time and come here again and again or be part of any committee and any task force to be part of that solution Thank you respectfully.

All right. Thank you very much. I

Next up I have an Angeline Alder.

Hi, good morning. Um, my name is Angeline Adler. I own an STR up at Mount hood. We have had it for more than seven years. Um, I'm on next door. So I've seen over the last many years about residents complaining justifiably. So regarding some of the way that people don't manage their STRs, unfortunately. Like the gentleman who just spoke, we are very hands-on, probably more so than most of them. We're up there with the housekeeper. We're taking care of items she doesn't. We're managing the trash. We're very selective of who we rent to. that they have to have established reviews, all of this. So when these rules went into effect, I really didn't have a lot of areas for concern because I thought that a lot of them were justified. But when I'm looking at a couple of these, I will echo what the gentleman said in terms of distinguishing property types because you've got huge cabins up in government camp that can hold you know, 10, 12 or more people than you have ones that just accept, you know, a few. And so I think that's really important. I think the STRs provide not only income, but an opportunity for people to come to Mount hood specifically, um, and enjoy the area where there is a real lack of any hotels that are available or hotels that a family can afford when they're looking at, you know, renting multiple rooms versus a cabin. I am concerned regarding the increase of the fees. And so I understand that that is passed off to the consumer. However, one of the things we didn't have was I think it's the 6% tax, adding on then to this 0.85, now talking about doubling that. Since the current administration took effect in the United States, I have seen our STR revenue drop by half. I think it's the inflation, now we have the war, the uncertainty of the tariffs, it is just added and added and added. So right now I'm not making any money on my STR, I'm barely breaking even. And so when I'm looking at this increasing just another fee, I'm thinking where is the 0.85% money going to right now, is that not going to help fund a staff position for this? And then when I think it's like a half a million dollars for two staff positions, now I realize there's probably some other factors that are figured in there. But that seems high and excessive to me. I am a business owner also, and I know if I'm hiring two employees that they're not costing me a half a million dollars. So I think taking it into account that I understand there has to be some oversight. But when we keep adding on additional fees and we want people like I charge less for my cleaning fees than I pay my housekeeper. And I do that so that I'm trying to be approachable for people that are booking that they can afford a thousand dollar weekend just for a three night stay. And I think that's where a lot of these families that were kind of right in the middle of what they were able to afford and adding something onto that where I'm thinking, well, where is the money currently going to now? Shouldn't it be going to fund a position or two that's mentioned in here? So I also have, an issue regarding the two years, two years goes by really quickly. And that is also then with another added fee for reapplying for it. And so I'm thinking, why do I need to pay another fee to reapply for something that I already have? And so when you start talking about all of these, it really adds up and over the course of time, and I'm not sure what is that fee then going to increase. So when we're looking at all of those is really taking into account to where we're at with our economy and adding yet again another tax. And I think that was my biggest concerns that I had. So I thank you for your time.

All right. Thank you very much.

My last in-person comment that I have registered is Mary Ganshow. If you would like to testify, please come forward. If you have not had a chance to testify and would like to do so, please fill out a blue card and drop it in the basket, and I will collect it.

Good morning. Thank you all for being here on representing what the needs of our community and our county is. And I appreciate the laws and the regulations that we have. That's what keeps us safe. My name is Mary Ganshaw and I live in Sandy. I was born and raised in Oregon and love it dearly and want to keep what we have here, which is community, and all three of the speakers before, I'll try not to repeat, because I agree with everything they have said. I've been a health educator, I've been emergency medical technician in a middle school, and I found one of the loveliest things of all is to be a bus driver. My real goal is to make my small part of my farm environmental education for these children around me. And I love regulation because it makes things safe. I've taught driver's ed. I've taught traffic school many, many years. And soon I'll be retiring. My goal is to make an opportunity for children to love our environment and see the reason why we take care of it and why we take care of our health, which then plays into supporting our community for people who want to take care of their health and their community together. My concern is also for small farmers. Making a living with these designated land is difficult. Raising timber is difficult. There are years you will make nothing. So how do you support yourself and your retirement? My husband and I are older. We're getting ready to retire. How do you support yourself if you're not able to use the resources in your land, in your home, to support yourself? And as I said, my goal is to support my community in outdoor education and health, having to do with farming and having to do with the trees that we're growing. If those regulations could be used to be fair across the board, because small business owners are extremely different from the bigger ones, and we're trying to make a livelihood, we're trying to make our community together. And I've never had one complaint, just to let you know, not one. In fact, people send their relatives to us to stay there. So it can be a very positive one.

Thank you.

I have one additional in-person comment. It is from Jonah Nail. Please come forward. Please introduce yourself. You'll have three minutes.

I'm Jonah Nail. I'm born and raised Oregonian as well and owner-operator of a STR in Clackamas County. I'd like to just say that I agree with the previous people that testified about the current proposals that are before you. I just kind of felt like I just needed to put my two cents in. Also, I don't agree with a lot of the proposals. I do agree that there needs to be regulations, of course. There are bad managers out there. I manage my own. I had a management company for a while. I didn't think they did a good job. I don't believe I got any noise complaints or anything. But management companies can be... LAX, THEY COULD JUST KIND OF BE FOCUSING ON JUST HOW MUCH THEY COULD, YOU KNOW, MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF OCCUPANCY AND IT DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM IF THERE'S A BUNCH OF TRASH AND AS MANY CARS, BUT AS AN OWNER, I'M THERE AFTER EVERY PERSON COMES AND I'M THERE BEFORE THE NEXT ONE COMES AND IT'S BECOME, IT'S OUR FAMILY HOME ACTUALLY. that my first my wife and I and with our kids bought and want to keep forever and anyhow I just wanted to to say that I think that increasing the fees is going to be burdensome it's it's already tough to make a living doing it as it is or to maintain the property with the the state tax and then this fee, and then you got the cleaning fees and the maintenance fees and the, you know, your supplies, your utilities, the property tax, you know, everything involved, it just keeps going up and up and up. And of course, then you got to charge more and the more you charge, the less people can afford to come and so on and so forth. That just keeps snowballing. Um, I don't understand why we can't do like a lot of the other jurisdictions in the state and other states that there just be a set permit fee. You know, I have one in Arizona now that, you know, it's like a $250 a year fee. You know, there's an application fee, but then it's just a $250 fee a year. I'VE GOT FRIENDS THAT HAVE THEM AT THE COAST, THERE'S A SIMILAR THING THERE, AN ANNUAL FEE OF 300 BUCKS. HERE WITH CLOCKMAN COUNTY, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS, I REGISTERED FOR THIS PROGRAM WHEN IT FIRST STARTED, SO I'VE BEEN PAYING .85% SINCE WE BEGAN. And it's burdensome a little bit when you have to do a monthly reporting. It's like every month I got to report. I got to sit there and sit down and fill out a report and send it in and then do the state one. It's not that bad once you get used to it, but it's like, man, why can't we just do an annual fee? Anyhow, that's what I got to say about that. So anyway, thanks you guys for doing this. Thank you very much.

That is my last in-person comment. I will move to online testimony, beginning with Patricia Erdenberger. Patricia, please introduce yourself. You'll have three minutes.

Hello, I'm Pat Erdenberger. I'm the chair of the Hoodland CPO. I want to thank the Board of Commissioners, Gary Schmidt, Mr. Munn, and the staff in particular working for the commissioners for recognizing the need to create a program from a pilot project. I think the pilot went on for so many years that it was misunderstood and thought to be permanent. there was always a thought to improving it at the end of the pilot. Managing a program is more than hiring two people and adding a vehicle for code enforcement to use. It's websites, it's interactions, with perhaps a consultant, perhaps a web developer, whatever's required to make the program usable. For example, you could make registration easier online. You could make filling out the forms easier. If people are having difficulty with that, they should do that. but we're literally talking about 65 cents on $100. That's what more people are paying, and the visitors will pay that. So I want to thank everyone who worked on this. It has made a step forward And there may be tweaks necessary as time goes by, but we thank you very, very much for your hard work. And thank you.

Thank you.

Next up, I have a Brett Fisher. Please introduce yourself. You'll have three minutes.

Yes, thank you. Hi, Commissioners. I've been testifying on this for a number of years now, and those who don't know, I represent Collins Lake Resort and the Grand Lodges up in Government Camp. I am also a full-time resident of the Welch's area, so I understand the need to regulate the STRs, but my testimony, once again, will be about Collins Lake Resort and the Grand Lodges, which consists of 199 units up in government camp. We are governed by homeowners associations as well, which I oversee. And I think what I heard a few minutes ago was that the rules change and all the accommodations within the resort just have to be part of that I understand that, but the reality of it is it makes no sense for the developments at Columns Lake and the Grand Lodges. And I was vice president of the development company that built these 199 condos here. And we have two full-time residents within the full resort. It was designed and developed as a rental resort where homeowners could put Their unit into rental programs, rent on their own, et cetera. We have almost 24 hour coverage. Of staff on the resort, I can guarantee that there has not been 1 single complaint called to the county from Collins like resort. And I understand that it was developed on our property again. I was part of that process. But what I would like the commissioners to consider is possibly expanding that exclusion or possibly putting in a resort process or application that particular resorts could fill out that could be exempt from the process because it just frankly, it just doesn't make common sense. The resort operates completely independently in terms of security, trash, parking, etc. We already monitor those and police those. Homeowners pay an association due to do that already. And we're just duplicating that process, which will never be policed within the resort from the county level. So again, as a solution, I'd like to propose that there possibly be an application process to be exempt from this from a resort property that is not on what the county considers commercial zoning. Thank you. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

Next up, I have Michelle Richardson. Please introduce yourself. You'll have three minutes.

Hello. My name is Michelle Richardson. I've lived in Welch's over seven years. I own a sort cabin built in 1940. It's a whopping 456 square feet. We need more properties like this available for small families to purchase. We need more properties like this for long-term rentals. I would like to say thank you for... Changing the regulations. I think this is a good start getting some code enforcement up here But I feel like the short-term rentals we are saturated you will hear me say this over and over and over So my sympathies lie with the full-time residents not the short-term rentals You are running a business in my neighborhood would you like to live next to a 7-eleven with people coming and going all the time and I have way too much traffic on my small dirt road in my community. As business owners, I would like to encourage them to make investments elsewhere. We are saturated and that's why You can't make money. That's why you can't have full bookings, because we are saturated with short-term rentals. I would like to see no more new short-term rentals. I have researched and I noticed that other communities, even globally, have banned rentals. Airbnb's, Vecasa's and those sorts of businesses. We used to have a couple of rental businesses that were owned locally and managed locally. Let's put those people back in business. Let's get rid of Airbnb's and Vecasa's and let's put that money back into our community. If you were a business owner, would you... put a pizza place in a town with 12 pizza places. No, you would look for a different type of business and invest your money elsewhere. That's what I'm leaning towards. I used to be able to see the sunset from my house. Clackamas County allowed someone to build a short-term rental 10 feet from my fence. I don't want to live here anymore. I can't see the sunset from my backyard. And it also increases my chances It also increases my chances of my cabin burning down, and it is a historic cabin. It cannot be replaced with insurance money. I guess I like to say thank you again for making some changes. I think it's a good start. I do not have any sympathy for the people who are saying they can't make enough money off their short-term rentals, and I would encourage them to invest their monies elsewhere. Thank you.

Next up, Marty Bowne. You have three minutes. Please introduce yourself.

Hi, everyone. I'm Marty Bowne. I'm a board member of the Hoodland CPL and also chair of the Land Use Committee out here. Just a couple of quick things about what's being proposed here. Number one, I really appreciate all the work that all of you have put into this and for your communication with the community up here. Maximum occupancy, I'd like to see that stated as 24 hours per day, because a lot of people interpret that as just being on nighttime hours at 15 would be the maximum during the nighttime hours. And then we end up with 30 or 40 people all day long. So I'd like to see that clarified. Also, let's see, the septic issue. I realize that you're doing this land use compatibility study, but I'd still like it defined a little bit differently for STRs that are on septic systems. Two bedrooms would mean four people. The way it's written now, that would be four people plus four more, which basically then puts four bedrooms on a two-bedroom approved septic system. So I'd like to see that clarified. Yes, we do have oversaturation up here. And because I am a retired realtor, I watch the market still. Many of those STRs are being sold because we are oversaturated up here. So that's kind of interesting. That's basically what I have to say and I appreciate your time and thanks again everyone. Thank you.

Thank you. Next up, Richard Carlson. You have three minutes. Please introduce yourself. Mr. Carlson, you are muted. Mr. Carlson, you are still muted. How's that? That works very well, sir. Thank you.

Okay, great. Thank you very much. Again, my name is Richard Carlson. I'm a resident of Welch's, and I'm the chairperson of the Rippling River Homeowners Association. And first of all, I'd like to say that I appreciate the changes that have been made and the responsiveness to all of the concerns that were expressed when you folks were up here. and the timeliness of your response. Keeping in mind that we are primarily talking about residential neighborhoods, I would like to call your attention and ask that you perhaps reconsider a few sections. The first might be the definition of sleeping area. It refers to designed and intended for sleeping When does that mean? Designed and intended when? At the time the structure was built or if I buy a home, can I redesign it so that I can maximize the number of renters in my home? Secondly, the occupancy requirements, two occupants per sleeping area plus four. Three bedrooms, that means 10 renters. Four bedrooms, 12 renters. Five bedrooms, 14 renters. How would you like to live next door or across the street from a place with 10 renters, 12 renters, 14 renters, or heaven forbid, 15 renters? 15 is a lot in a residential neighborhood. We're talking a party with 15. Secondly, the parking spaces... one parking space per bedroom. Three bedrooms, that's three parking spaces for 10 people. That's gonna result in a lot of on-street parking. Four spaces for 12 people, five for 14. In a residential neighborhood, there is gonna be a significant amount of on-street parking. Garbage, I appreciate the garbage section. Placement. could be an issue and prompt removal. We've had people up here who put the garbage out days before the garbage is gonna be picked up and it stays out there for a week. We encourage our owners to put out the morning of or the night before it's picked up and put the cans away immediately. They don't need to be out there for a week. And so maybe there could be something in there that would address, perhaps address that issue. I did have a question and I'm not sure about this, but Noise and parking violations, are those regarded as STR violations or are they treated separately under noise and other ordinances? I ask that because when we consider the potential revocation, if someone's had five noise violations, can that lead to a potential revocation? Also, I see violations, citations can be issued to the owner or an occupant. And I wonder about that because it seems like an occupant could be in lieu of the owner and it should be the owner that's responsible to issue a citation to somebody that comes up here to rent. and then goes home, that's not going to be effective. So hopefully those citations would go to an owner. I also have a question on whether or not there should be any type of mandatory revocation after some number of violations, whatever that would be. I understand that the what happens is subject to a hearings officer, but at some point isn't enough enough. And should these regulations perhaps say that, or is it subject to the unfettered discretion of a hearings officer? So I would ask that question. When is enough enough, the penalties, hopefully when the penalties are set, they will have teeth to discourage violations because I think after all the goal of these, um, these changes, and again, I support the changes, but the goal is to prevent violations in the first place.

I know. If I could just interrupt, we have a lot more people that want to testify, so if you could give me a second there to wrap it up for us.

I can absolutely do that. The bottom line is if these properties are run properly, then ST owners will avoid those penalties and there should not be a problem. That's all I would have to add. Thank you. Thank you.

Next comment is from Peter Himes. If you would like to testify and have not had a chance, please use the raise hand feature and I will call on you in the order received. Mr. Himes, please go ahead.

Yes, this is Peter Himes from Welch's, Oregon. I'm also a Hoodland CPO board member. I want to thank the Clackamas County Board and all your staff for the tireless efforts to get this in place. I myself have been working on this with Clackamas County since 2018, so I'm very appreciative of moving this forward to adoption on June 25th. My biggest comment is the thing that everybody seems to miss is STRs are a commercial business in a residential setting and they require regulations. Thank you.

Thank you.

If you would like to testify on Chapter 8.10, please use the raise hand feature and I will call on you in the order received. Mr. Chair, I do not have any other comments.

Right. I was getting a message we were getting a lot of people signing. So thank you all for your testimony. And right now I will close the public portion of this meeting. And the first thing I'd like to do is maybe turn to council to answer a few of the questions that arose. There were some questions about noise violation and a number of other issues. And I thought, Mr. Munch, we might start with you just talking about that.

Yeah, happy to. You know, the noise question came up a number of times, of course, throughout this entire process, and it was addressed at the policy session that Tony led a couple of weeks ago on this matter as well. The noise code is enforced by the Sheriff's Office. However, it's also a violation of this chapter. And so we added additional language into the draft statute that deals with giving our hearings officer the ability to impose Other requirements like noise and occupancy monitoring systems for owners of the property. The noise violation could be assessed to the renter, not just the owner. So the people who are actually causing the problems would give the citation, but then it gives us an ability with problem properties to impose additional requirements. That if these large properties are continuously hosting big parties, we have monitor systems so we can make sure that those noise complaints are addressed quickly and then continue to accumulate these other violations and they can be addressed.

All right, thank you. Any other comments you want to address? I know Commissioner Savas, go ahead.

I just asked Mr. Munns to respond. There was, I think, some confusion about the registration fee. If you're a recurring and you renew every two years, you're not paying an additional fee every two years. Can you just speak to that?

Yeah, that's correct. We're just going to have the one-time fee for the land use compatibility statement. Everything else is just as the percentage. So if you're continuing to operate, you don't need to file for a new land use compatibility statement, separate from any changes to the structure, of course. But if you're just operating as you have been, it's just going to be that percentage.

Yeah, so the registration fee, registration, there is no registration fee, it is free, only their one-time land use compatibility statement, right? That's correct. Okay, thank you.

Any other comments? All right. With that being said, before we kind of maybe go to a motion, I just wanted to kind of say a couple things here. Boy, this is a fine balancing act. It's to help protect the rights of the homeowners. It's also to help support short-term rentals. And it's about, I will just be frank, sometimes it's the small population that causes the problem for the whole which can be frustrating and the the other thing I wanted to say some of the comments that were made that I Do believe this is a work in progress I feel like this is a start a chance for us to continue and reevaluate I think there were some good points about large and small operations and I can appreciate your all your hard work and building that on your own and really trying to make a business and taking care of the history of our county. I mean, I value that. So I think... I believe as we move forward, we're going to constantly look at evaluating and seeking input to really do our very best job on this. And it has been something I think the community has been wanting something done for a long time. And so the other issue I think Commissioner Hill brought up too is that Number one, there's so many of them, we have to get a handle on them, right? And perhaps after that is done, the maintenance level cost might be less. I don't know. But I think those are the things that we really want to continue to evaluate. I mean, our goal is to really help support business and keep costs as low as we possibly can. And the one lady, I think she left, but... I couldn't agree with her more. We're going to talk about it a little bit later today. But economically, you know, tourism is down. We see that really hitting a lot of businesses from hotels to short-term rentals. And the whole economy is impacting. So it's important we all work together to get through this tough economic time. And really, I just want you all to know we're really being cognitive about any fees. We realize that's a big issue. And... Want you to know that we're constantly looking at this so with that if there's no other comments from my colleagues I'll just ask is there a motion Chair I move we read the ordinance by title only second All right Commissioner Savas has moved to read the ordinance by title only Commissioner Helms second of that any further discussion or comments All right clerk you please call the poll Commissioner Schrader
