“I'll call to order the work session of the Wilsonville City Council of September 10th, 2026 at 5 p.m. I'll start by asking council members for review of the agenda and items on consent. Are there any comments? Are there any councilor concerns? Okay, I just have one item. I want to briefly bring an issue to the council's attention for future consideration. I received an email from Oregon City Mayor Denise McGriff asking whether Wilsonville would consider joining an effort supporting a Clackamas County ban on the retail sale of flavored tobacco and flavored synthetic nicotine products.…”

“My turn, I guess. I think you've done an exceptional job, you and your team, on this. I concur with all of counsel. AI and lawyers don't mix. Someday maybe they'll change, but right now it's an ethical issue for lawyers. I respect the fact that you wouldn't utilize that. I'll be interested to know if they ever change some of those rules.

And I think that there's two mechanisms, given your comments, that I'm a little worried about. I think we would want to provide notice to the responsible party that, there is exposure to a potential attorney fees as opposed to general costs and to give them that heads up and also making sure that there is a segregation between what is attorney fees versus what are considered costs like from an expert or in this case staff which to me are two…”

“I can't add any more other than, you know, I watched my son grow up in that library and to counselor, I appreciate counselor Cunningham singling out some of these aspirational things. You know, originally there was really no teen programming. I mean, it was a struggle and I understand why, and it is developed into something amazing. And I'm all about additional teen programming. That is that age group that so often kind of falls in the black hole. You know, I think all of us that have raised kids here, there's always events and things for that certain age group. But then when, once they hit…”

“Anybody else? I just would add that I appreciate the fact that you're presenting it in the way you are. I'm a little concerned. I mean, you want to roll it out with the information that's as accurate, as complete as possible because the community could take away a little part of it. I think it's important that we allow you that time to really have a full report for us and a full education for us. And I really commend you for suggesting that last year at the budget committee meeting, the initial one. I think that's helpful to know it makes sense. You were our new city manager. It's a, to me, a…”
