“First, a couple of things. I attended the first meeting, the RFA meeting with the fire department. And we elected a very capable chairman, John, who did a fantastic job running the meeting. And we are getting to work. So it's looks like it's going to be a lot of work. But we have a capable leader. And I think we have a lot of things to do. So that was good. I would like to reiterate that on the 26th, same day as the fire department grand opening, We have a lacrimous late cleanup day. That's in the morning. So we have several hundred people already attending, which is great. Lions Club, TSMC,…”

“So I was up to mine on whether they should approve it. But anyway, LAM was very grateful. So they invited me to that ceremony. And it gets me thinking about business development and what else we can do here at Canvas. So that's all I have. Thank you, Mayor. Oh, thank you. Was that LAM, L-A-M-B? LAM Research, L-A-M. It's the second largest, third largest semiconductor. $1.3 billion expansion it.”

“Council member Elzengray. Thank you, Mayor. And thank you, Madison. It's nice to meet you. So should they get the approval, the number of signatures, we would have to put in some city services. Has Alan, have you guys looked into how big of a burden that would be for the city?”

“Okay, thank you. Did I see a hand down there? Yes, yes. Thank you, Mayor. Robert, thank you very much for the presentation. I have a question. So do we currently collect sales taxes? Do you guys buy a lot of Amazon stuff? More than most people. So we would also get that. Yes, that's correct. That's a good point.”

“Thank you, Mayor. And Robert, thank you very much for the presentation. This is a point that I brought up earlier. I just wanted to check and see where you guys were on this. And that is the access to the Anderson parcel. Because without that, then traffic would go down Benton Drive, which is a non-starter. So where are you guys at on getting that, the easement or purchasing the property from North Shore Boulevard?”

“Thank you. Actually, I had a question about that, but you just answered it about that, Terrell. Where are you at on getting through the Anderson property? Because when we last spoke, you guys didn't have an easement?”

“You up? Sure. Thank you, Councilman Peirce, and ask you because I think you're 100% right. Everybody knows where they're going on this. But in general, I do appreciate all of the comments and I really appreciated the town hall. I think either form of government can work because it's more about who we elect than the former government under which we operate. As I said during the town hall, the 10 largest cities are split five to five And the 10 cities that are around our population are also split five to five on form of government. So either form of government can work. And before the town hall…”

“Thank you, Mayor, and thanks everyone for your comments. I just have a couple of quick ones. Yeah, first of all, congratulations to us for winning the bathtub race that was fixed last year. It shows that when it's fair, we can win. I met Dave at Natalia's afterwards and gave him a little ribbing. So that was really enjoyable. So thank you, Tim and John and Marilyn for doing that. The second thing is the Lackamas Watershed Council is holding a late cleanup on the 26th of September. So I'm probably going to mention this during every meeting until we get there. We're doing it in conjunction with…”

“Yeah, Chris, thanks for this. It's very interesting, and congratulations on Crown Park. I think that's an example of how we can do a great job with the limited resources that we have. And I'd like to congratulate you on having one quarter of the full-time employees of Other cities. So you must be super efficient. I'm guessing you're using AI. You're saying I'm AI. So as I just listened to you, because I looked at this slide earlier and I said, this is interesting, but it doesn't. how do we raise more money? How do we get more volunteers? How do we get up to the level? But it's good thinking,…”

“Thank you, Kayla. Thanks for stepping in. Thank you, Mayor. And I have, I think I'm gonna point this to Administrator Quinn. I have a lot of questions about this. Partially, Councillor Hines' comment, this is not what we thought even three months ago, not the assumptions that we had. And I have zero Finance Commission meetings, committee meetings on my calendar. So I think rather we have a 45-minute discussion after this. I think rather than me raising all my questions now, can we get a Finance Committee meeting? and get the recurring series on the calendar.”

“I can appreciate all that. Absolutely. I just think I have four or five detailed questions that people here probably don't want to listen to. So I would be happy to hold them until we can have a finance committee meeting.”

“I'm going to be really brief. I have talked to as many people as I possibly can about this. I get two comments. Either they look at me like I have two heads because they have no idea what I'm talking about, or they have a strong opinion. And I have an opinion, but I'm holding that aside until I can talk to people. Em and I have also talked about having a town hall to talk People with whom I've spoken that have an opinion, so far it's unanimously against them. So regardless of my own feelings about it and the excellent work done by the committee, I couldn't support it. It's based on the…”

“If we don't have a date, it won't happen. I think Marilyn's correct. We probably do them all. Because we usually only get about 10 people.”
