Well, come on up. I'm Jeff Spade. I live here in Tillamooka, Linden Tribe. Just kind of letting people know that I am running for Willamette City Council Board of Physicians 4. Thank you. We serve the city very well. I've been hoping to fill your shoes. I'm also here to talk about something. I'm also here to talk about the food driver's motor company. It's called Fill the Truck. So we're trying to collect $1,000 or 1,000. I thought 1,000 would be good. So 1,000 pounds of food to be donated to New York Food Bank at the end of September. No glass, no expired items, and non-perishable food. All right, thank you. Thank you. All right, anybody else?

Well, so the invisible line is here between these two. It'll be bigger next time.

All right.

So we're super excited to be able to publicly

I was wearing Taylor Hallman as a police officer with Sidney Tillman. She was hired earlier this year, but she spent her time at the academy for the past 16 plus weeks. And she did an excellent job representing Tillman at the Tillman Police Department. and the family there. So we're super proud, super excited to have her here. So we wanted to make sure that we took this time to recognize her, introduce her to council, and so we'll go through the oath of office, and then we'll make a badge for the committee. And if you have anything to say, can you do that? All right, if you can raise your right hand. I, Taylor Madison-Hallmer, do solemnly swear and affirm.

Congratulations. And another happy birthday. Thank you. Say nothing, but don't stand there. Taylor.

I mean, I think I remember Taylor was a cadet. Thanks. And so for me, this is pretty exciting as Chief to be able to see a former cadet who has done so well as a NATO. And I think the support she has for her family there as well. I'm super proud. And former Chief Terry Wright, he contacted me and was like, is this true? Yeah. And so he was really bummed that he didn't know her graduation date. He was like, oh, but anyhow. So he extends his welcome and gratitude. And he's so excited for you as well. Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

But you know, it's a process.

2026 dash zero for the festival second reading and the partners providing the department of street vacation. Avenue between front street and second.

So this is nothing really has changed on this one. We haven't updated anything. The ordinance or vacation. This was vacated the street that runs through the ready mix plan. And we want to make sure that goes back to the company that uses it the most and maintains it. We do have routine rights for easements for utilities that are existing under the the roadway there, but I think this is a good move to give them the flexibility they need to grow and help their business. And it helps us by taking a stream that is very difficult to maintain out of our maintenance responsibilities. So staff recommends approval of this and recommends that you adopt it by the order.

I just had somebody from the public ask me a question. If they wanted to put like a fence in there, do they have to follow rules? Do they have to get it? Could they put anything they want in the road? I'm just kind of curious.

So because we're vacating it, they will take ownership of it. So they could legally fence off on either end and block traffic from going in and out. And that would be perfectly acceptable with business. The only caveat to that is because we would fold the easement through there, we have to maintain the ability to get through there, maintain the stuff that's underground that we fold the easement to. And the way these easements are written is that if something blocks the way or encumbers us, we can remove it and we don't have to compensate for putting it back. So there's always that kind of caveat there that You're welcome to do whatever you want, but we have to maintain that access. I think we'll always be good enough neighbors that we can say, hey, we need access. So if we get to block off events or something, just don't engage to whatever and let us in. But theoretically.

I'm just curious. Somebody actually asked me a good question. That's all I got.

Just for the purposes of the second reading, I wanted to point out that Megan did update the flat map and its current as well as the legal description. So those are changed since the first reading.

I know that we have approved ordinance number 2026-04. I would say we request to report the partial street vacation between Elm and Front Street. Second reading by Title I. I think Dean got that one.

All right. Move and second. Any further discussion or having a second reading by title? Question. Question is called. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. Well, the pass is by the cast. Now we have to .

I know that we normally have ordinance number 2026-4. She has to read it. Oops, y'all have to work.

We do have, I do have, sorry.

City of Tillamook ordinance number 2026-04, an ordinance providing for the partial street vacation of the 60-foot portion of Elm Avenue between Front Street and First Street, in Sections 25 AC and 25 AD of Blocks 5 in Town of Lincoln, now Tillamook, Tillamook County, Oregon.

Thank you. Now, I'm going to formally recognize one of the senators, 2026-04. I'll second. Second.

Any other discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Opposed? Pass. Pass. We'll see. There you go. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Congratulations. Alright. Pending business ordinance number 2026.03 staff update and presentation on proposed changes to chapter 72, municipal credit. Well, I hope this isn't a nausea for anybody.

Chelsea, can we pull up the PowerPoint? We do have some slides for you today. I recently attended Bridge Homeschool. They revised chapter 72 tonight, and instead we're bringing progress update. And I want to explain several reasons why, where the work currently stands, what we've discovered during our processes, and why we believe additional work is necessary. I want to start by bringing up 20 plus years of parking regulations in the city of Tillamook. This is a partial list. We're not even sure if this is the complete list. PASSED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS RELATING TO DOWNTOWN PARKING AND PARKING WITHIN THE CITY. STARTING WITH 12-16 AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THESE ORDINANCES ARE BASICALLY EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS THIS TOPIC COMES BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL. THIS DOESN'T COUNT ALL THE MYRIAD OF RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED DURING THAT TIME AS WELL. So what does this mean? It means that individual councils before were generally trying to address one specific problem. We're gonna think about this as like renovating a house, right? We need to paint the wall. So we're gonna paint the walls of one room a different color and that's fine. Then we're gonna update the kitchen and then we have to update the kitchen and that updates appliances and gets new flooring, right? Many of these actions amended the previous change individual provisions without rebuilding the entire system. And so what we have is this hodgepodge of ordinances that may not fit together like a perfect puzzle, and we, the public confused, staff confused, and our enforcement officers confused. It's very, very difficult to work with. In my opinion, that uh anybody can read it and understand what the the logic is and what the regulation is trying to accomplish it's readable residents businesses and staff and and importantly courts should be able to understand the code and what the interpretation is and it's enforceable the tools provided in the code must actually accomplish what council intends I actually read that we have an email list among city managers, and somebody put out today a question about, it was this whole weekend, put out a question about charging wide loads on city streets. So if you have any trucks that come in on city streets. And I raised the question. are you going to practically enforce this on somebody that got a state permit and is now driving from town X and doesn't know that they need a permit to come from town X? Are you going to barricade the borders? Are you going to have police watching out for them all the time? This is not practically enforceable as you have it written. And that's something that I want to make sure that we always have with our code as we work into it. We have looked over everything and We've noted that portions of our existing parking code do not consistently meet these standards, and that's what we're trying to fix. We initially began by looking at chapter 71 and 72. Some of these changes were very straightforward. Remove obsolete park from the year provisions which was passed. Remove outdated bicycle-related language. We added some provisions necessary to administer downtown parking permits in the campus style that we had envisioned. We cannot simply delete a rewrite or provision without knowing what other sections depend on. And fixing one issue unintentionally can cause other issues in the government. This is what we found over the last few weeks. This is one example of several. Maybe. I said I'm not leaving.

Yeah.

So impoundment of vehicles was found in 72.060. You don't have to read the code. I'm just going to highlight a couple of things here. One of the ways that we can impound vehicles is if they are in violation of 71035 or 72.002. And I'll point out why these are important in just a second. The other provisions code that is important is it only calls out a police officer. That means technically for our code, a code enforcement officer or a proposed parking enforcement officer would not be able to impound or have a vehicle tow. That's a, that's a, uh, uh, something that we would need to fix. Section 71035 talks about streets, rights of way, city parking lot, city property. We've been already working. That's one of the sections that we've worked to review. We have 72.002 that addresses the method of parking, including parking within marked spaces, directional parking, diagonal parking, etc. What is not included in that enforcement is 72.003, which is prohibited parking. So we can't enforce 72003 with the threat of a tow under our current bill. This is the type of inconsistencies that we need to fix and that we're trying to fix. There are other inconsistencies like that throughout other chapters of the code that refer to towing or impoundment. The 71.035 goes on. We didn't put the entirety of it up there, but it goes on to talk about noticing requirements and when we can tell as far as a court order or stuff like that. We need to adjust all those things. And this is one of the many issues that we've seen. I could have brought you today a revised 72 that addressed most of these. and we would still have inconsistencies. I don't know if you guys are like my house. At my house, we used to watch a lot of the HGTV renovation shows, and there'd always come a point about two-thirds of the way through the episode when the contractor would show up, hey, I've got this huge problem that we just discovered that's going to cost you $10,000 extra, right? And if we don't fix it now, we're not going to be able to finish the project, right? That's kind of where I feel like we're at. We're not going to cost you any extra money, But we want to make sure that we're building the project and doing it right. We think of it as that home renovation. It's like we've gone and started to replace the roof, and we're not done replacing the roof, and there's a big hole. And the next time it rains, that hole is going to leak. And if we turn the keys over to the public and to the homeowners with that leak there, what we're going to hear back is frustration and anger and problems that we face. knew about, but we're not prepared to fix. I'd rather push pause and fix it than give me something that isn't ready for prime time in that regard. This also becomes more than just downtime parking. This is where we talk about we're repainting the kitchen, right, or we're updating the electrical, and now all of a sudden we've got to change an old bulb and fuse, an old bulb rewire throughout the entire house. That's essentially what is causing this to happen here. We have had in the last couple weeks more than one business owner that is just outside of the downtown area that has expressed confusion and concern about what the park ordinances that we are proposing due to their businesses. One of them is down in our industrial park who talks about the ordinance that we just passed about trailers the semi-trailers that they had parked down that need to park there, because that's where they store them, and it's in an area that we anticipate that. We did not anticipate that when we did that for 71. That is a problem that we're going to have to go back and resolve. There's another one about parking in an area south here where a business has been parking partially on sidewalks, and they are afraid that if we enforce this and get a parking order, so they're now going to have where they've parked for years with no problem and haven't. We have not looked anywhere outside of just downtown. We're beginning to look at that and say, how do we holistically fix parking, not just for the downtown couple of blocks that we've been concerned about, but make sure we're not causing other unintended problems for the rest of the city. We don't want to solve downtown problems and create new problems elsewhere. so after reviewing this with staff and discussing tonight's agenda with the mayor um it was my decision that i would rather come to you with an apology and say i'm sorry that we're not going to have this done by october 1 then put something through that was going to cause more problems later on it's better for the city it's better for you guys it's better for us as staff and so it's my decision that tirelessly on this special project, in addition to all our interviews, to get some of this stuff up to you. And we're just not ready for it. We want to bring a full solution to you that we can be proud of. It's predictable, readable, and enforceable. We're just not there yet. However, progress is being made. We're going to switch now to... One of the things that we've needed to, that we've been working on behind the scenes, and this isn't public, so people don't see, this isn't something that we can really splash out.

Which one did you want?

The website with the applications.

Sorry, not that one.

We'll get to that. There we go. So this is a preview of what the parking permit application will be when people log in to do it. And Chelsea can hit begin, and it'll ask her for an email address and basic information, and then because it'll send her a link, but then, so it asks for all the personal information, the email, that, and then you'll go down to pass request, and you'll tell us what number of PAPs you need, whether it's our premier or our standard, and submit that application. So this is the simple website that we try to make as simple as we can for the end user that's coming in looking to purchase part of an app. Now, I'm gonna have her switch to a picture, and this is not to scare anybody. Can you zoom out as far as you can on that? This is the backend process to make that website that simple. This has taken us weeks to get this to where when you sign up for your, when you put in your information and request a pass, it can tell what pass you've requested. It gives our staff an opportunity to put in the pass number, and if you're getting a career pass, whether one's available or not, and then put automatic renewal, as Council Member Ockemeyer wanted, So that every three months when we sell these on a quarterly basis, you're getting an email saying, hey, it's time to renew your pass. Here's a link for you to go do it. And you can zoom in and scroll up and down on that if you want. The details of this are not important. But this is just a huge flow chart that is the back end of that simple website. Okay. I see council. a lot more than just putting a link on a web page to say, buy a passnet.

We do this in-house. We don't have a web.

We actually have our vendor Polymorphic that's doing our planning applications. They've done this for us so that we can work on this. with them once a week and so we give them instructions and then they go work for a week and then come back and then we test it and then they go take those test comments back come back we test it so it's this back and forth that we've been doing for for a couple of three months and we're just ready this they just gave the final application for books to me on friday So just so you know, we are getting close. We have printed passes. We have got the back end stuff ready to go. We are almost ready to go. That's part of that building this so that we have a complete house to turn over as a renovated house.

How does the payment process work?

This is credit card online.

Online.

Yeah.

And is part of this, so like the automatic renewal, we have to have them put in a credit card number again, or can we automatically fill them?

We don't have the power to automatically build them on that. Our credit card processor does not have that capability. So that's hence the email where you can log in. But once you log in, it'll take you back to your original case where you can go and say, I want the next order. And it should be as very easy as possible.

Is there a timeline that they have on that?

So with the general parking passes, no. Because we're selling them for a quarter and we can sell as many of those as we want. It's just, do you want one for the next quarter or not? For the 27 stalls that we proposed as the premier lot, we are giving them the first two weeks... over one, the first couple of weeks of December, on the first of December, they give an email saying it's time to renew and we'll give you until the 15th as an exclusive window to renew your pass before we will make that pass available to anybody for the rest of the semester. So there's kind of a two-week window that they can have as an exclusive, think of it as a season ticket, we'll sell you your same seat back.

Does this program have the capacity to do a test?

No, but we can do that through TextMyGov. This will have an opportunity to do text in the future. We just haven't paid for that. But that is a feature that they are working on actively.

So out of curiosity, how much did it cost to develop the website up to this point?

So this is part of the larger package of Polymorphic. So that did our AI chatbot on the website, all of our stuff. We are paying $5,000 a year, which for software is dirt cheap, especially for customized software that is bending to our processes and doing all that back end to meet our needs. That is very expensive experience.

The three months of disadvantage to us, which seems like a lot of work. I mean, it's three months compared to like six months or a year.

So we wanted to do the councilman brought tomorrow and I went back and forth on this. We thought about doing a monthly, which we just felt like every month just got to be too onerous, especially for our staff, because we have to get these requests in, stick a permit in the mail, which doesn't take a lot of time, but it does take time. So that's where we got to three months. Once we are into a new fiscal year, we thought if we did it quarterly to start, then next July, we can start to offer an annual pass for those that really want to do it. We can Show that the program is working and generating the revenue that we need. Then we can start offering annual fasts in July.

It's not something that's like in the code three months. You can change it out.

No, we can set it for what we want. and I appreciate it.

I'm not frustrated. I do kind of think... You need both. It's a change. I understand. I get what you're saying, but I'm not saying what you're doing. I'm just saying...

I'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than over-promise and under-deliver, which is what I'm doing tonight. And we've over promised October and we're not able to deliver that goal. I think by the end of Q4, we should be able to have things wrap that. That is my goal. So that we can do more in three more months. I hope to have it done soon, but I can't promise sooner just because it rather not put that, because the second I say, and I just did, the second I say January, that's going to be the date that you hold me to, and you're going to be frustrated again if we don't meet.

I mean, we actually would be, I think we would be best friends.

Yeah.

Thanks for that.

Yeah. No, I understand.

Okay.

I understand. Gotcha. So, but again, I'd rather do it right, do it once, than come back and have something that is going to fail and cause frustration with the public.

Here's the thing. Once you give somebody a ticket for one of these code violations and you get the right lawyer over there that's going to find a loophole that we missed, then it's all the way back to the beginning. So I think things take time. I totally understand. But I think two months is not, I mean, October, December, December, three months. I don't think it's asking for the world, but we definitely got to close loopholes. And like we've talked about a lot up here, all our codes, all our ordinances are all over the place. And there's lots of ins and outs. And I mean, we just got rid of the book again. the parking meter thing. So I appreciate the information. I think what you said is right. Under-promise, over-deliver is kind of the goal here because it won't take long before they start chewing up. If we want to put some teeth in this thing, we're missing a bunch of gaps.

Anybody else? I think that was a very good summary of everything that's going on at the extent of the meeting. Well, thank you.

And again, this is on me. This was my decision. Staff has worked their tails off trying to get this done. And I just didn't feel like I was ready. I didn't want to hurt someone that we couldn't be proud of. And so that's if you want to blame somebody, it falls right here. Okay. Thank you for letting me share that with you.

All right. Now we'll move to new business. Resolution number RC026-022. Resolution authorizing the establishment of separate bank accounts for police, evidence, disease, and torture crimes and investigating authorized signatures.

So this is pretty simple. Right now, when evidence is seized that includes cash, it gets locked up either in our evidence room, and we won't disclose where it's headed, but it gets locked up in the evidence room, and we don't have, while we have plenty of security protocols, it becomes a place that is a target. And so rather than keep large stacks of cash, for instance, we had a bus just last week of a certain massage parlor in town that netted over $4,000 in cash. can put that into a bank account. This bank account needs to be confidential in the sense that it's not confidential to city staff or anything like that, but not everybody knows. It doesn't get put on our finance reports that Jamie gives you every month. It just sits there. And the law is if we put it into a bank account, it has to sit there until it gets released back to what it belongs to, or the time passes and everything's adjudicated and it becomes part of the police fund. um we've never had this type of account before we'd like to set it up this is a request to the chief the signatories on this are jamie and i as the city administrators um so so that we both have to sign off before any funds can come out so that's what we're asking for is resolution so it allowed us to set up that type of meeting down for this specific purpose that's a double signature yeah

Is this a normal thing? Is this what most cities do?

Yes, this is what most cities do because we don't want to have cash just available. Chief, do you want to add?

Yeah, so for example, during our accreditation process for the police department to be accredited, it's one of the over 100 standards that we have to meet for the police department. We don't have cash at the police department, so we no longer have cash at the police department. When when we continuously look at areas of improvement we can reduce our liability one of them is how can we cash out of evidence because every quarter we have to audit and account for that and so it's a sergeant or myself with our evidence tech that has to physically go through and confirm it's still there so it takes staff time and then every time you open that up you're exposing ourselves liability again to where What if a quarter is not missing? Where do they go? And so it's best practice. It's industry standard that we don't keep money in our evidence. Also, in our evidence, we have to keep money, guns, and drugs all separated, and they're actually different lockers in evidence itself. It's always insecure to have access for diversity, and that's our evidence tag. So if we can remove that money portion of it, that's just one last thing. And once we get the disposition from the courts, or it's the case where we return the money, then we just make the request to City Hall. And there's a process in place for that. And any monies we have now, they get disposed or through the courts. And it's ordered to the city of Tolerant that it's given to us. It just goes in general file. It actually is not distributed to the police department because there's other financial regulations and standards we have to meet. Police departments can only use the money for certain things, but, you know, I can just go out and buy the boots with the money, you know, these are specific things. So we, historically, which I support, because in the

In a practical sense, is that a non-interest-bearing fund or an interest-bearing fund? I have to confirm it is an asset-bearing fund. I think we'll talk about that later.

I believe it has to be in prosperity. And that's something else we don't have to, we'll figure that out.

But we'll figure it out. Go ahead. Any other questions? Anyone have a question? Approval of resolution number The resolution authorizing the establishment of a separate bank account for police evidence seen in the forfeiture of bonds and designated authorized signs.

I second. The only question is, do you need all that for you guys, your names, or is that good enough?

No, I think it's good enough.

All right. Any further discussion? I have a question. The question is called. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. Motion passes by Council Steven. Next is resolution number R2026.023. Resolution authorizing the application of business organ for 2026. Yeah. So,

Business Oregon has opened up their regional infrastructure fund. This is funding that comes through the state legislature and everything for things. We have Uh, drafted an application, uh, that works on our school, so we can finally get that up and going. Um, and so this is just the resolution that the city council supports the application. To apply for the brand, not that we've received the grant, they're not going to contract or do we have millions just so that we have the support to apply. And that deadline is this month was the last meeting before that.

That's it. This sounds like a no-brainer, is it?

Yes, because we have to have the resolution to apply, and we can't get the money unless we apply. So, yeah.

What's the downside?

The downside is they could tell us no, but they don't get the money that they already did.

Two questions. One, is this a high competition? Yes, very. Second, what is the amount that we want to pull? I think it's one million. Is it one million? Yeah. Is that the max?

I believe so. For our population. Yeah.

And that's just simply for the screw dress?

That's the intent. We have to identify a project. There we go. Okay.

Move and second. Any further discussions? Question called. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? All right.

one more where is that resolution number two zero two six nine zero three four a resolution establishing a future use of second street between main avenue and pacific avenue known as cumson plaza reopening the street to one-way traffic and providing for temporary closure for the group this is the follow-up to our conversation last meeting where we brought the entire history of the plaza and everything that

Went through that new staff is asked to bring forward the resolution. What we hope puts this issue to bed forever. is that we will leave the bollards down unless we get a special event permit for an event that would then close them we probably will not be able to use these for ada parking there's some parking standards that we would have to go through some signage and stuff so for right now it'll just be open to the designated parking sponsor there's four of them um two on either side of the the middle crosswalk there But we will look into 88 parking in the future. We know that's important, but we've got to just get through this. But the resolution allows it to just stay open. This is going to be a relief to staff that we're not out there. We get out there almost every day over the summer, up and down, up and down, up and down. We just want to have a resolution one way or the other. So thank you.

How long can we park there for?

It follows our same downtown guidelines as on-street parking for two hours.

A lot of people downtown have been talking to me about supportive.

It's a lot. Two questions. One about is it going to be closed to truck traffic and smaller car traffic only?

The resolution does not anticipate it. We don't open it up, but if we want to put a limitation, we can. The tile in there would not support really heavy trucks or buses. It would destroy those tiles pretty quickly.

I'm pretty sure that's just stamped concrete. Because when they cut out for that water main, it was like... Yeah, it's just normal concrete cracks. If I remember correctly. I think the issue that it'll be...

uh is just turning in there yeah i said i don't think they're going to get i wouldn't i don't know if you're going to get it because i don't think you can watch that yeah but they're going to try there is something that says no trucks we we can look into that and and bring something i see what you're saying yeah i don't yeah i didn't no problem with cars small cars and things going through there but

I just see complications. And is there going to be a, and it's used for loading and unloading by one of the businesses at least in there. Is it going to be a loading zone or not?

There is a loading zone. Is that going to stay? Yes.

If we open it up and that starts to block all traffic. Yeah.

So, the loading zone, it would stay as it is. Today, but right now for this resolution, we want to make changes. I'm happy to make changes. But we did not anticipate any of these questions as you brought them up to us last week. So, or last week.

I don't, I just see that as a potential bottleneck. The bottleneck wants to be opened up, and some of you are going to wait and see, and we don't see trouble to make it so that the ordinance can come there. Yeah. I mean, can we just revise the code?

Yeah, well, this is a resolution, so this is not even a code change. We can make this administrative. sign of GSAC. Yes, Chelsea.

There's also, in Section 7, the implementation, it gives you or your designee the authorization to do a bunch of that stuff, establishing the signs and the parking spaces and coordinating all those things.

It doesn't give us the authority to monitor that.

I would suggest that we close the trucks and RVs and buses and things. Just to avoid... HAB-Masyn Moyer- After we enter the bias first up to each of us right home and type owners and yeah ended up inside in the bios.

HAB-Masyn Moyer- Well, for those safety problems. HAB-Masyn Moyer- Yeah, safety first. All right. HAB-Masyn Moyer- We pass resolution number 202 6824 certainly Vincent Plaza and we open the street to one way traffic planning for temporary closure. HAB-Masyn Moyer- Second.

HAB-Masyn Moyer- In second step.

All those in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. The motion passes by the council is seated. Thank you. And then what is the open date for that?

It's open. It's all ready. It's going to open all weekend. I haven't noticed anything. It's a USPEN frequency. I saw cars parked in there on Friday.

All right. Moving on. The only thing I have is school has started. You go down again, kids, and you go down Alder. Or you go down the meadow. Or you go down Everglades. Be ready. There is traffic and there are kids everywhere. And in the morning, there's a lot of kids walking along. So... Uh, just be careful. Be wonderful. Watch out. They don't, uh, they don't close it. It's uh, is that time is. That's all I your.

Chelsea going to bring back up some slides. For us, I was at a recent meeting and was talking with a couple other cities in the, um. I seem to be one of the very few city managers around that doesn't provide some sort of weekly update to my council on stuff. And I was thinking about ways that we could automate this and get stuff out to the public. And so you're going to start this. I don't know how regular this is going to be, but we'll send a big email to the council. But I want to show you kind of the social media side of this that we're trying to develop. where my thoughts go about stuff like this. And we try to embrace the cow here and cow puns. Chelsea has a big time coming up with cow puns. So we're going to title this right now. I heard it through the bow on. And what this is is a snapshot of things that are happening in the city. And so, for instance, if I were to send one out this week, this is the kind of stuff that would be on it. So the first thing is that there's a National Day of Service every September 11th. And we have a church group that is asked to participate with that in cleaning up. Along 101 and 3rd street doing some sidewalk clean up and and such, and they're looking for a lot of volunteers to come help and we want to make this available to the community. So there's a link to a hyperlink to a sign up on a website called just serve.org. That you can sign up and to be 1 of the people that comes out at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning and helps clean up the city. This is a very important thing and we're grateful for those. That are that are planning to come out. So that's one that we would highlight. The next one is we'd highlight that we've received all of our surveys that we need for our income survey last week or two weeks ago. And so we're waiting for our CAC to do their tabulations and figure out where we're at, but we have a statistically valid survey now. We don't know what any of the results are. We'll get those soon, but that's something that is happening. And the other what cows are talking about is public works, some of the stuff they did. So this is a couple weeks ago. I have to read this. They rebuilt a water service line on 3rd Street, swept 40 miles, repaired 15 potholes, cleaned 15 blocks of sewer main, removed 15 cubic yards of trash and debris, and spent 20 hours cleaning up around downtown. So that's one week's worth of work for our public works department. So the genesis of this is just to provide Did you know that there are 20 miles of roads, not including state highways? So this does not count 101 or Highway 6 or 131, but the city owns and maintains more than 20 miles of roads. So when we sweep those roads, it's a 40-mile thing because we're doing both sides and sweeping. Just a fun fact that you can tell your neighbors that there's over 20 miles of roads here in Tillamook. service they've had during the week and what types of calls those were. So this is actually last week's statistics. We had 137 total incidents. Those are logged calls that would start, not necessarily cases, but logged calls. 13 personal safety calls, six welfare and community contacts, seven property calls, 40 traffic or roadway incidents, We conducted 29 traffic stops and handed 21 follow-up investigations along the way. So this is what our police is doing on a weekly basis. Two weeks ago, that number was in the 100 weeks. I think the real reason was down, we had our code enforcement officer off last week. And so a lot of the stuff that he logs isn't included in this instance. So these are the kind of things, we're also gonna translate this into Spanish. so that we were hitting more residents. And just as a kind of a, these are wins, right? These are things that we can be proud of, of Tillamook City. And so we're gonna call it, I burned through the bowline. And you'll start seeing these on social and in your account.

It's wonderful. Thank you for playing that together, Don.

I think it's a big deal. We're gonna ask people for bond and we just show them what they get for their money.

Yeah. So that's my report because I've included all the stuff that I want to talk about anyway in our social media. All right. Anybody have any questions?

All right. Moving on. Council comments will start on the right.

I wanted to say I saw South Prairie made a nice post today about the city and the work everybody's been doing for signage and safety around their area. I thought that was pretty cool. Also, I had a citizen reach out to me asking about the bathrooms on all the parks and if we had any timelines to open those up. It's been a while since we chatted about it, so I don't know if he had an update on any of these bathrooms he's looking to be in a big time scheme.

How do you need to do the repairs? That's

I just wanted to share that in lieu of our recent conversations with Eliza, I had done some of my own research into Doug Henson. I don't know much about him. And I felt inspired by some things I read specifically in your paper. And there was a quote from him in which he shared about some of his time in Vietnam and how he referenced on that in his daily life about things he's written for. And I just thought that was a kind reminder that I'll use and encourage everyone, whether you know him well or not, to look into his story and some of the things that were written about him. It was a good reminder.

Have it set here and you might want public servants and you've got a lot of time to see. I just want to publicly thank Public Works. They had a long summer and a lot of projects that they had published and worked on. And please pass on a big thank you for everything that you have published. Thank you to the Public Works and staff for taking us on a tour. A million dollars tour by you. but then where it's coming and getting the one from here and all of those things. Fascinating. And it was the deepest hole anybody there ever dug. But thank you. That was very enlightening. You're welcome.

I'm just going to acknowledge the end of the summer. We, where I live, and this is just city, just trying to remember the impact on our first responders. Living on Evergreen, Sunday afternoon, every Sunday afternoon, I hear them going out, and I know it's a disaster there. Anything that happens on six has got to be rough. So just thinking about that, I have friends that have quit doing first responder work because they were so traumatized over the years, and so I just admire them and appreciate them. I think they're undernourished, so I'm noting it.

With that, I move that we authorize to pay the bills.

I second that. All right. Another one second. Anybody for the council? Yes.

Councillor Knopflinger.

Aye.
