I had given up on talking about parking at council meetings because I thought that we were well on our way to resolving the parking issues in downtown. And that really being employees, employers, and dependents taking up the majority of the spaces. So I started talking about it back in August of 25. That's 11 months ago. Seven months later, in May of this year, we had a parking summit. And at that parking summit, we had a lot of downtown business owners show up, more than I think we expected. And we definitely voiced the same concerns that I voice. They were frustrated, they were fed up, and they were done with it. So I thought that that was going to fix the problem. And I know it's only been two months, but we've made no headway. We haven't talked about it again. At that meeting, we were promised that everybody that had taken the time to attend the meeting was going to attend another one to talk about ways to resolve the issues. None of that's happened. And my concern back in August was that downtown business owners, the small ones especially, have a very small number of opportunities to make money to survive the winter. They've got June, July, August, maybe September. And that's really about it. And here we are, middle of July, with nothing. Nothing at all but the parking. So by the time we get it taken care of, we're going to let another summer slip by. And for some of these small business owners, that's a big deal. We've got a couple that I know are on the edge. I know there's some parking issues, but they definitely voiced concerns for downtown Tillamook in the story that was published in the MI Herald about their departure. So I really think as a small downtown business owner, it's frustrating for me to hear why we can't get things done. I heard the other day, God, things take time. I want to hear how we're going to get stuff there. I want to hear what's going to fix these problems. I want to hear resolutions, not excuses. That's where I stand as a downtown business owner and investor. I put my money where my mouth is. I definitely invested in a downtown telemet. And I'm not sure downtown telemet's doing their part to invest in local businesses. And at this point in the game, I'm second guessing the Beals building and my proposed indoor food court there. I've worked with an architect for the last several months on that. I've got an indoor food court planned for that place. And at this point, I've got almost no interest in doing it because I don't think Tillman is doing their part to help local businesses. And that's really where I stand. I was on a parking lot. So if we can... Go ahead.

I was just going to say, thank you, sir, for coming.

I've been coming for 12 months talking about this. And I'm still talking about it. And I still see Kelly Rainer complaining about the same people parking there. We're not enforcing anything. We've heard why we can't enforce it. That was the first thing we talked about. The ordinances weren't right. We couldn't enforce it. And then all of a sudden, they do the good enforcing. And we're just not doing anything. We're chalk and tires to the deal. It's the employees and employers that we're worried about. I don't care about it. We talked about this at the bargaining side.

So right now, my understanding is that right now, our lovely city staff is working on putting together, you know, creating an outline of what it would look like to have that pink parking in the public city lots and the parking lot.

Prioritization would be key to me.

So what do you think is priority?

If not previous. Downtown businesses surviving. Downtown businesses being heard. Resolutions. I mean, if we prioritize renegotiating a contract with City TV, to make them one of the highest paid PDs in the state of Oregon, I believe.

So it sounds like from you that parking is a priority for downtown businesses. We decided that at the parking sign. That's what I'm saying. I'm just saying that we are We're not working fast enough.

We're at our time. We're at our three minutes, but he was a counselor asking questions. If any other counselor has a comment they want to make, now would be a good time. Sure. Go ahead.

What do you feel would be a fair timeline if we had a priority class party? Well, Justin, I think we started talking about this last summer. I think a fair timeline would have been to have an ordinance in place enforceable and enforcing it by the beginning of this last summer. I think six months to get something like that done might have been fair. I don't know that it takes 12. I'll say there are some council members.

All right. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Does anybody else have anything? Do we have anybody online? Anything?

No.

Nothing. All right. Last chance for public comment section. All right. Moving on to proclamation or announcement. Proclamation of the city of Tillamook commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.

Proclamation commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Whereas in July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, establishing a new nation founded upon the principles of liberty, equality, self-government, and the unalienable rights of all people. And whereas the year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the United States of America and provides a historic opportunity to reflect upon the people, events, ideas, and sacrifices that have shaped our nation during the past two and a half centuries. And whereas the American story includes extraordinary achievements as well as periods of struggle and hardship, and this anniversary invites us to thoughtfully consider the diverse experiences and contributions of the many people and communities who have helped build with strength in our country. And whereas the ideals expressed in our nation's founding remain an ongoing responsibility, calling each generation to protect democratic institutions, encourage civic participation, promote equal opportunity and continue the work of reforming a more perfect union. And whereas throughout its own history, the city of Tillamook has been strengthened by residents, families, businesses, civic organizations, public servants, and community leaders who demonstrate the American values of service, perseverance, cooperation, and care for one another. And whereas this national milestone offers the people of Tillamook an opportunity to learn about our shared history, honor those who have served and sacrificed, celebrate our community and consider the legacy we will leave for future generations. And whereas the city of Tillamook is proud to join communities throughout Oregon and across the United States in commemorating this significant anniversary through education, reflection, civic engagement, and community celebration. Now, therefore, we the mayor and the city council of the city of Tillamook do hereby recognize and commemorate the year 2026 as the 250th anniversary of the United States of America and encourage all residents of Tillamook to participate in appropriate events and observances that honor our nation's history and celebrate the strength and diversity of our community and renew our shared commitments to liberty, democracy, and a hopeful future for all. In witness, we have here to set our hands and cause the official seal of the city of Tillamook to be effected on the 23rd of July, 2026. All right, thank you.

All right, next we have ordinance number 2026-02, an ordinance amending portions of chapter 7172 of the town municipal case with COVID.

Bye.

Unlock. Welcome back. Thank you.

Let me get to the right page here. So as our public comment and Terry so eloquently stated, we have been working on things in downtown for close to a year. And tonight is somewhat a combination of some of that stuff. It doesn't necessarily reflect what Terry was speaking of. That'll come at our next meeting, hopefully. But this is where we're at. So as we've been reviewing things, one of the biggest priorities that the council gave us last year was to look at RVs and such parking on city streets. Reviews of the code. We've discussed concerns behind that. We've had lots of code enforcement complaints about trailers and other vehicles stored. We have these two chapters, chapter 71 and 72, as we begin our entire review of the entire city code. We're not just limiting it to this, but as we begin a review of the changes that we need to make to make our city code updated and relevant, This is where, based on council priorities, we decided to start. And it's chapter 71 and 72. What this does is it clarifies vehicle and property storage restrictions, establishing a 72-hour parking limit, prohibiting overnight sleeping in vehicles on public property, and retaining citation towing and impound remedies. This also removes obsolete bicycle licensing. So bicycle licensing has been in the code for years, and we haven't done it forever. It also removes the parking meter requirements that require the chief to go collect the money from the parking meters every day. And as we haven't had parking meters in years, that is no longer reflected in our practice. So this combined with internal policies regarding our safe resting areas that will be enacted, believe city staff believes that this resolves a lot of the concerns about our reason and city camping that the council brought to us months ago, which was one of the priorities in addition to the downtown park. If I may, just as an aside, the downtown parking, we have worked out a basic framework of a plan. It hasn't been enacted simply because we don't have the tools to enact it yet as far as the actual permits and the setting up of the website to take in those applications and permits. Those are things that have to be done before we can just start doing things. So, but this is the first reading. This is the first time that you've seen this, you've heard it. It was delivered to you a week ago as per our charter and state code. There will need to be a second meeting at our next meeting. And then this would take 30 days during that time. We will instruct city staff, specifically our boat enforcement, to begin an education campaign with the folks that have RVs, boats, trailers, and such on the city streets to let them know that in the next few weeks, if the city council wants to pass this, that those will need to be removed and taken away or parked in your driveway. Not on the lawn? I'm sorry? Does that include the lawn? Yes. The driveway includes the lawn? No, the driveway does not include a lawn. I would not expect to see a boat on a lawn. I think we need it to be on a specifically identified driveway.

Anybody have any?

Go ahead. On the revision on order 71, it just says no person shall leave store shall soar or leave unattended the recreational vehicle or trade with personal property, trash containers, construction equipment, construction supplies. And then it has a section that says, or for it meant to be stored on a city street. I don't know. I feel like that's already something like that section there. It's either a copy and pasted or it's in the wrong area. If it's about meeting, giving somebody permission, You should probably say, no person shall store, be unattended, or prevent a recreational. There's a little section that I said it wrong here. Which paragraph were you on? Ormond 71, sorry. 035.4. Okay. Well, you said it a while earlier. You know which page it is, please? I got it on page nine. It's on the first, so it's on. page 9.7 under A, where it says, city parking lot or city property, and that's, or before that it says, or with permit to be stored, or permit to be stored on the street. Which is the unrevised part. So if you're talking about So store something that should probably be no person shall store, be not intended, or permit. I think there's context there that we're missing.

Because under 71.035A, no person shall store, leave unintended recreational vehicle or trailer, or permit to be stored sitting right away without permission of the city manager. So the city manager, as has been the case, that's not being, that's not an edit. Um, city manager has opportunity to permit something to be stored. If permission is granted.

Sure. I'm not talking about where it goes back to black. It says for it to be stored.

I think that that may refer to some discussion with, um, perhaps an owner who lives in front of the street would then be permitting someone to park there. I'm not for sure, but I believe that is the context of this.

If I understand what you're saying, or allow, change the permit to allow.

I was just saying, okay, should the verb entities to be moved up, moved up to the front, because you're calling us out just from, I don't want to challenge you, because I'm not, no, I get it. This is so, because we're talking about no person shall store anything, no person shall leave something unattended, and no person shall give permission to leave the vehicle unattended, leave a recreational vehicle or trailer, personal property, cash and payers.

And so. Okay. I'm just saying that. So permit to be stored should be moved up to no personal self-store, leave unattended, or permit to be stored. And then the description. I think we can make that amendment in between the first and second reading.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

HAB-Masyn Moyer- Anybody say anything else. HAB-Masyn Moyer- And then we'll keep going. HAB-Masyn Moyer- Another question so are this isn't where the place is part of the strike after know. HAB-Masyn Moyer- Where did this that in mind. HAB-Masyn Moyer- For for me to be stored i'm missing, where are you struck and where you had it because I don't see I don't see anything about that and we're talking about with the city permission to enter. I'm just pointing to you. You're not on this one. Yeah.

So the city manager, that's right there. Sure. So the permission of the city manager to alleviate all of this. What was the strike? So that strike, so we have to show the paragraph A as we're, so paragraph A1 is everything from here to here, current, So what is in yellow is being struck, and what is red is being added. So anything in black is current text that is not being changed. All right, so this right here, where is this? This must have been right here. It comes right up first in manager as this state. That is what your current code is.

OK. OK. OK.

Go ahead.

What is the little add-on there about city management? There's not an add-on. That is current.

What's it for? It could be an occasion maybe something an example that I can think of might be June dairy parade. Somebody's got a float that they want to bring in and store overnight in front of their house. They come and ask the city manager for a an exemption, a variance or something to allow something like that to happen. So the idea being is that there may be things that we haven't thought of that may need permission that comes up and you're granting the city manager or retaining the ability, this is not a change, you're retaining the ability of the city manager to make an exception.

I just get very, very clear the language that needs to be updated.

Do you want me to take it or do you have it?

Well, when you explained how the path worked, it makes a lot of sense that why that line was... The word leave should have came out earlier than it was meant to be. So you can take it, but that may not make a lot of sense.

It may be clearer. I don't know. mess things up. And we did provide a clean version to you so you can read what the, sometimes with the cuts and the strikes and everything, it makes it weird. But we can say no person shall store or leave unattended or permit to be stored on a street, a recreational vehicle, trailer, personal property, trash containers. That's what you wanted to say, right? And then we can say we could, without permission of the city manager, we could move that and create another paragraph that says the city manager has authority to relieve these standards. I don't think we want to get into that. I think we didn't change that. That works.

It's just no birth control stored, leave unattended, or permit to be stored.

Yeah. So it's just moving permit to be stored, to be followed, and you would add a comma after the first store, strike the or, store, comma, leave attended, comma, or permit to be stored, a vehicle, a record, an unattended, or leave unattended. No, we have to leave unattended. Leave unattended or permit to be stored, a recreational vehicle or trailer, et cetera. Does that make sense?

Can I read what I've got?

Yeah.

Okay. No person shall store, leave unattended, or permit to be stored, a recreational vehicle or trailer, personal property, trash containers, construction equipment, construction supplies.

On.

On.

So we're going down to on a city street, city right-of-way, city parking lot, or city property without permission of the city manager.

Are we adding on? Okay, sorry.

I'm just jumping down to the case. Okay.

Second. Anybody else? No? First reading.

Do we need a motion for the amendment?

Yes, the motion should be no. We want to have the first reading of the ordinance, including the amendments from Councilor Ostermeyer.

I move that we approve the first reading HAB-Michael Leccese & Norris number to zero to six session Oh, so we wouldn't want to spend a portion of seven chapter 71 chapter 72 the total would be the smoke code. HAB-Michael Leccese & Reflecting the men that's fine.

HAB-Michael Leccese & So. HAB-Michael Leccese & Mark. HAB-Michael Leccese & discussion. HAB-Michael Leccese & All those in favor signify by saying aye. All right. Opposed?

And we will bring this back at our next meeting for the second reading. Okay.

Okay.

I need to read it.

Yeah. Oh, sorry. By title only. By title only.

Okay. Ordinance number 2026-02. An ordinance amending portions of chapter 71 and 72 of the Tillamook Municipal Code relating to traffic control and parking and declaring an effective date.

Okay. Thank you. Next is resolution number R2026-019. Resolution authorizing refunding of a loan from the Special Public Works Fund

I'm going to let Jamie talk about this. Both 19 and 20 are basically exactly the same. So, Jamie, let's tell them what we're doing.

Okay. So, the first one, first to give you guys a little background. Business Oregon has offered us a bond refunding program. They have done this before. We've been able to refinance our bonds at a lower interest rate. I did sign a thing that we won't refinance unless it's 3% or lower because currently we're at 3.31 and 3.310. So it will save us a lot of money. We're not adding any years to the loan. They're just refinancing it for the lower interest rates. The first one, the R-2026-19, is actually for the City Hall loan. One of them, we have two. This is one of them. The other one is not eligible. We have a low enough interest rate that it's not going to fall under this refunding process. The other one is a project from 2009 for a water project. We did actually have this same program in 2018 and they refunded it. We got a significant lower interest rate. So it's cool. They approached us and both of these have to do with both of those.

And this would not If I may, this would not take effect unless there's a trigger, right? Unless the interest rates fall below, is there a time limit that we have?

We won't know until September.

So in September, we'll get notice. This allows us to act as soon as that happens, if conditions warrant it.

Okay. Anybody have any questions? I'm so curious. I can't find any other paper.

How much do we owe a step on these loans?

You're looking to look that up. So the city hall one on that specific one we owe 1.2 and the G, the water brand one. We're right at We're at like 230,000.

What's the timeline on this water project?

The water project is an old one. I think we have like years left.

So this is the project.

Oh, completely done. This was done for back in 2009. The loan closed with them. And this is where we've been. Remember what the project. I was trying to think about it. Back then it had something to do with the filter plant in 2009. So that's why we get our payments pretty low.

This does not extend the chunk.

No, it does not. It just takes us down to a lot of payment.

Which. I move that we approve both resolution number one, excuse me, number two, R2026-19 and the resolution number R2026-020.

Second. All right. Wounded and seconded. Any other discussion? I have a question. Question's called. All those in favor signify by standing by. Aye. Opposed? Abstentions? By the council. All right. All right. Consideration of the League of Oregon City's legislative priorities ballot.

Okay, so this week I emailed you a 20-page guide. Hopefully you all had opportunity to read it or took opportunity to read it. So every two years, the League of Oregon Cities, which is our lobbying group, prepares legislative priorities that they will focus on during that biennium for the legislative sessions during that term. They allow their membership. Each city gets one representative vote for their city. And so this doesn't mean that what we vote for will be their legislative priorities. It's just telling the league what Tillamook thinks is the most important things to talk about. We don't have to rate them. We just have to say what are up to top five. If we only have three, we only have three. The reason I said that to you a week ago was so that you would have time to review it. And we actually come with what your top five priorities are, and I'm prepared to tally those up and see if we have some consensus to provide on the ballot. For the league rules, the ballot goes to me, and I pass the ballot for the city.

Well, it looks like the deadline is September 25th. It's way out in the future, yeah. I mean, I personally, I mean, I got through I don't know if I'll have to read through them or swing, just need to know what lead on this, at least the start.

So if I can add some context to that. Most definitely. So there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven areas of focus. And each of those areas of focus had a committee. I spoke on two of them actually. to discuss these topics and develop what would be put on the ballot for the membership. So you have broadband, cybersecurity, AI, and telecommunications, general government, housing, energy and environment, finance, taxation, economic development, transportation, water and wastewater. Those are the overarching categories. And then each of those committees presented five or six

How about we say, did anybody get five things? Yes and yes. Yes. There you go. Do you want to send those by email? Do you want them emailed to you?

I just wanted to know what the Council wanted and we should discuss it in an open meeting to get there. If we want to punt this, because we do have, the deadline is in September, so we've got two or three meetings on our calendar that we can punt this to. So it's just how much time we need so we can move on.

Another reading or two probably will change my mind anyway. There's a lot.

um postpone deciding to a date certain of the next meeting motion or consensus either way consensus yes and if you get your stuff before then just send it please or just

yeah but yeah what's your question what's the advantage to having a consensus between different areas it seems like flexibility would be uh more of an advantage unless somebody's trying to get an advantage by having a consensus you know what i'm saying i mean you want me to address that go ahead

Okay. So the reason we asked for consensus is we have six people up here to represent the city council and the mayor, which is seven people. The city gets one vote.

In Carnival with the city council?

No, the city of Tillamook is part of the League of Oregon Cities, which is the representative lobbying group for the 300 plus cities in Oregon. So as the city of Tillamook, we get one vote. So what I'm looking for as city manager is Justin's priorities may be different than Dean's, that may be different from John's, that may be different from Brian's, that may be different from Hope's. So as a city, we have to come up with what are our top five that we want the league to focus on, or that we would prefer the league to focus on. Because I don't get to send 15 ballots, I get to send one.

And so- I'm hard of hearing.

No, you're okay.

I'm definitely going to have to hear you. I'm missing a lot.

I apologize, but I will try to speak up for you. But what that does is it allows us to have one vote. And because I work at the will of the city council, they need to tell me how to pass the ballot. So that's why we are doing this, is so that I know from my seven bosses. Okay, so...

The city gets one vote.

Yep.

That means all of you. And who gets the other votes? Is it the rest of the county?

The rest of the cities in Oregon that are members of the League of Oregon Cities.

So it's all the cities?

All the cities in Oregon are voting on, are casting their ballots. And then the League will take those 300 plus ballots and figure out what their priorities are.

So we get one vote, Portland gets one vote, and Tiger gets a vote. and release one bone.

All right. Thank you. I'm kind of a flexibility person. Anytime somebody starts putting all these rigid lines in place, you just want to ask, you know, why? What's the advantage of this to her?

So we will reach a consensus for a semi consensus for total cities one vote. Right. But we won't reach consensus for the entire league.

Yeah. I just think to me that every city should have their own rules, because we know somebody wants to have something a certain way to another city. But if everybody in the states have the same rules, it just No, and to be clear, I'm all for following rules. And I don't want to take any more time. I appreciate it. I'm all for following rules. I've done it all my life. But I think I explained.

You did. They did. Can I make one more, Mayor? This doesn't create any rules. So the league lobbies the state legislature in the parking lot. So this is us telling our lobbyists what we would like the court to focus on as the state legislature.

I understand. Okay. All right. Next we'll move to reports. I have a big shout out to everybody for the June Berry Parade. It went awesome. I got to watch my daughter dance for the last time at bird dance time. It was pretty cool. 4th of July, a great time, 250th. It was just, it was pretty exciting. Then don't forget movie night, July 24th, movie night in the park. And a big shout out to Kimmel's. I don't know if people saw that. Kimmel's hardware closing. They've been around for a long time. So it's a big loss for people. We thank you to them and the family for all their years and years of support in this city. And then I went to the college graduation, I have to say, because she's here. Congratulations to Vera for her associates.

Yes. And my assistant.

Yes. It was pretty exciting to go watch. So just a shout out. Congratulations. That's a lot of work. Good job. And that's all I have tonight.

Next is department reports. We'll refer to what was reported in the packet if there's any questions. Anybody have anything?

Any questions? No? Finance? What are you going to talk about? I was going to ask if Jim got up here yet.

And my June of 26 numbers are posted. We did pretty good. So we'll know budget save us nothing but over 100% expenses. We stayed pretty conservative. So that was good.

Thank you.

Planning Commission. That was the end. I don't know. It was canceled. Okay, thank you.

I was canceled. I remember that.

Thank you. I was like, I don't remember this at all. It's only urban renewal. It's just, no, that's not me.

We just had a couple of small things. We did a relocation of funds request for Bouchard's project of one-week steel will. We went over and approved the occupancy report from the Jones, I think it is, apartment, which are above the dance studio there. We kind of just touched base about Sean and the tour. I believe it's going to be Ruth and Victor meeting about the agreement with the city. Tell them Sean wasn't there. But that was basically, I don't think there was any major. Jamie was there. I don't think anything else.

I have one other item on that. Tura at their meeting in two days is having open meetings training by the state. And so anybody that has not completed open meetings training for this term, this will be a good time to come and hear that. If anybody wants to come by, we can go about it. So the trainers are going to bring clickers to make it interactive.

All right. All right. All right. So County Housing Commission upon the reports.

That wasn't anything for this month. It was all internal stuff. And I didn't want to publish it. There's just finance issues.

Perfect. Thank you very much. All right. Correspondent city manager

Okay, so the first thing on this is just to put on the record that we did send a memo to each of the city council members and the mayor regarding filing fees. The end result of that is we looked at this and spoke with the attorney's office. There was no opportunity to get filing fees on to be approved because of our charter specified timeline of two readings plus 30 days. There's no way to get that onto anything for the ballot for filing period this year, which ends on June 30th, July 30th. So everybody has to get signatures if you want to run for office. But we can and should address that after the election in establishing a filing fee for candidates. I just, I know the question's gonna come up. We have three candidates who have officially filed as of this moment in time. One for mayor, one for city council award five, and one for city council award six. Four, do we have another one that's not on the website yet?

Four, four, it's not on the website yet.

Oh, not, see, I haven't refreshed since you've added that one. So, okay, so four. So one for award four. The only one that's missing is award two. And then if anybody else comes in for any of those, then we would have a competitive race. Okay. I have a whole list of things. I'm just going to go through it. Mayor mentioned a movie in the park on Friday. We also have National Night Out. I can't remember what movie. It's Hoppers. It's a great movie. Very family friendly. It takes place somewhere in Oregon and relates to a beaver. So Just know that that's the thing. So it's kind of lovely. National night out on August 4th, beginning at five o'clock and moving the parks at dusk on Friday. National night out, Chief is still looking for people to sit in the dunk tank and take their licks as random hooligans from the community come up and throw softballs at you to get rich. So. My doctor has given me an exemption, so I'm not allowed to do it.

The assistant manager is up.

I can't get my hair wet. We do want to thank the chamber for both of those events. We will have banners up beginning tomorrow on their banner boards around town. So look forward to those. And hopefully the banners will, especially for the movie in the park, we've made them evergreen. They're beautiful. But we've made them so it just says movie in the park this Friday, it does, so that we can reuse them in every movie that comes up. We can put those out and they'll be out that week of the week. It'll drive interest in that. Speaking of the chamber, we have been offered an invitation to the chamber downtown tour on Tuesday, August 18th at 2 p.m. I believe that's the third Tuesday. Tuesday, August 18th. Um, I just need to RSVP for any council members that want to go. Um, so if you would let me know your interest in that, um, just because if we have more than a form, we need to notice that. So it's very cool. 2 o'clock, 2 to 3.30, I think is what the invite said. And they'll be touring some of Terry's properties and some of the stuff that's been going on down again.

Meeting at, starting at the chamber, starting at, uh, 116 Pacific, which is

Okay. I want to say that we finished and have signed the Tillamook Renewal Association contract. So that is done off the plate and everything is good as per the directive from the City Council. Going down the list, we'll talk about that one. Yes, sir. Is that the Reorganization Association?

Yes.

Reorganization. I said it earlier. With Tura. Yeah, yeah. I know. Okay. No. T-R-A versus T-U-R-A. This is T-R-A. It's a pretty common language. Yeah, yeah, I get it. We want to pass along our thanks to Officer Fitzgerald, who is leaving us for supposed greener pastures. I don't think they really are, but he is leaving us, and we're thankful for his service to the community while he's been here. It's that time of year. I passed out to each of you the League of Oregon Cities conference program. We are obligated to do registration beginning at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, or not Tuesday, Thursday, the day after tomorrow. So if you are interested in attending the League of Oregon Cities, that is October 15th to 17th in Salem. If you are interested in going, I would like to know by end of day tomorrow so that we can, Chelsea and I can get on the website and get you registered. and get your preferred hotel accommodations. I don't think we can afford to send everybody, but we'll try to accommodate as many as we can. And that's a Thursday, Friday, mostly Thursday, Friday. And then I gave you that so you can highlight or tell me what tours or anything that you'd want to go on or the extra, like there's the council thing that's an extra 100 bucks on the registration if you could do that. So if you sign up, And something comes up between now and then, how long notice do you have to give them the change? It's refundable up to like the 1st of September or something like that. So it's a pretty quick, they don't give us much time, but that's where we can go.

Wait, so what is the council thing that costs an extra $100?

There's on the program, there is the councilor's workshop at 8.30 on Thursday.

State Councilor Jeopardy?

Yeah. Nina is awesome. I wish you'd invited me to host that one because I love Jeopardy. That's my jam.

So you got to do something because they make it four hours and it's a long sit. Nowadays, all these things, it makes them work. You go about an hour and 15 minutes and switch it up. So that can be long.

So those early workshops, I know the mayor and I attended one last year. It was pretty good. You get a lot out of that. So, uh, so it's just some of those. And then some of the tours have costs that there's like an entrance fee. So like last year, Garrett and a council member, not singer went on the zoo zoo tour in the airport. They were in Portland. Um, so that was fun, but those costs a little bit extra money sometimes. So, and there's a, uh, registry early. Yeah. If you want to do them, they will fill up on Thursday to go. So that's why we need to know what you want so that we can be on the website at the end. Okay. Okay. So we got that. I've got some, what I think is great news. ODOT on Sunday, this upcoming Sunday, will be restriking Highway 6 and the intersection of Highway 6 and 101 so that the two right-hand turns that go north will now be two right-hand turns plus two that go straight. So they'll be adding that arrow beginning on Sunday. We've put our officers on alert that there will probably be lots of accidents there for the first couple of weeks as people get used to that change. But... I doubt it because everybody does it already.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But I think it's a welcome change that's been in the works. It should have been a long time ago, but that is awesome. Just want to let you know that we did not bring the Shell Island flags. So this is the flags that the Chamber Foundation was doing in the middle of the Shell Island by the Veterans Memorial. We did not bring that to council as a gift item because we don't own the land. So it's not a gift to the city. It's a gift to the state and ODOT who owns the land. So. I gave you permission. And they've already given you permission, so you're good. So just making sure you know that that's why we're not doing that. Had an opportunity today. I know a couple of you were there with us. We attended the Center Market Grocery Store Grand Opening. Good event by the Seams, who run that business. Lovely store inside. I think it'll be good. And then finally, our next meeting will not be here at City Hall It'll be a new TVCC building. And we will publish notices and get signs up and everything. Same time, but we will be upstairs in their conference room, which those of you that have seen that is really nice. It's set up with the Zoom and everything for us. So it's a much better venue. And we also have doors that we can close because there will be an executive session on that. Thanks.

I have one quick follow-up. Should have done it earlier, but on the police report. Our trainee.

Yes. How are they doing? I get weekly reports from the chief. I don't know why I didn't speak to it, but I think she's doing great. She's passing all her scores and doing reports that I see. Chief, you've talked to her?

Yeah. Officer Waller's doing really good at the academy. We're super excited for her. She's at week 10 and week 11 now. Gareth J. Out of the 16 weeks so August 28 to Friday she'll graduate and she'll come back and tell them what for 1216 weeks of training so doing well super proud. Gareth J. got very good positive feedback from our class coordinator and also some of the other instructors from other agencies that come in and super impressed so. We're excited. And we have applications open for Officer Fitzgerald's spot. So if you know of anybody. We've already got a couple of people. Yep. We have one application. We have two, three others that have interest on the National Investing Network, which is where we do the written test and the physical test to go to the assessment center and have all that completed. So we're definitely interested and excited to add to the team. Perfect. Thanks for asking me. Thank you.

All right. So not to be a flippant, but that is the end of my report.

We'll do council comments. We'll start on the right.

The only thing I'm going to bring up is I've seen a lot of business engagement and social media posts about Moonlight Manus that I believe is the 31st. So I think that's cool. It was a big deal when I was a kid. I feel like last year has been pretty good. They kind of died off there for a little while, but I think it seems like there's a lot of people involved. I think they even run the shuttle a little later in the evening for rides around town and stuff like that. So that's all I have.

A quick question that I remembered when you brought up Torah. At the Torah meeting, there was some discussion of potentially giving the Torah parking lot there to the city. What's up with that? What do we need to do for that? Is that part of the negotiations?

That's part of our negotiations on how that would work. Got it. We just have not set up a time to meet and hammer it out.

Do you know when we might have it all done and finalized?

As soon as possible.

Yeah. Yeah. No comments for me. I haven't been tonight. All right. Good.

Nothing good. I do. Shocker. See, I don't know why you didn't end it.

I'll start dinner next time. You can start right here.

We're going to start right here. Are you guys... Oh, I just want to express thankful to start an awesome officer this package. I believe it's a portion of it. Here he was leaving. They taught me first the first time was some stuff and they're there. Specialism and just their care for solely share their job. Was outstanding and so I just wanted to recognize them. Oh good. Um. I would say I have some concerns around parking. One of my concerns is that everybody here basically knows that Terry and I talk all the time. And the fact that he hasn't wasted frustration on parking with me for a while shows that he's more frustrated probably than I am because we don't even talk. We got to be certain. So I heard you say the next meeting will be the next meeting festival. The next meeting is when we plan to bring it.

The earthquake ends in that time. The next meeting is when we plan to bring it. So that's just a long-term move. So the next meeting sounds great. The other thing, that project on first roof, I already talked about it.

First of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, first of all, So I was like, I was a little late to the game on that. But I think it's something that either we have, or if they can arrange with ODOT, they'll go side yard to maybe have a couple of those. There are small opportunities to highlight some of those businesses. I also want to thank Public Works and Tappany on the Waterland. I know they're not working in the city of Tullamon, but they were responsible for that project. and the way that they uh handled the stretch in front of south prairie store and jandy was extremely thoughtful um compared to what the original plan was um there was a number of issues that surrounded how that could have been played out and it was flagged businesses bolted very well during that time. And like Terry said earlier, this is the time. This is the time. It was right before Fourth of July weekend. So it was extremely important to those businesses as they were open. And both Sean and Kyle were very responsive to phone calls, inquiries. Superintendent at Tappany was very responsive and was in those businesses.

Can I elaborate on that in two ways? One, the folks from GMB told us that they had no loss of revenue from the year previous, which I think is a huge success for them. So good job there. And also, this is something I forgot, and I'll have one other at the end there. The water line project that you approved the changeover for has come in significantly under the the, even the proposed line. So we asked for, I think it was 475. We asked for 525 just to make sure that we were covered with overages from even that. It came in at like 415. We're waiting on final numbers. So that's well done to Tappany and the crew there that worked on that because they did save us a ton of money.

We're in protest against having too much money. No, you're not. You're right, we're not. I did have a couple questions about that project that maybe we could talk about at a future meeting or offline, whatever. One, I was asked by a different property owner regarding for those that have props and for loss of revenue from props that are in the field. And the city of Montana, when I was, he came in and I said, he's like, oh, I can do that.

So I can answer that real quick for you right now. All the farmer's fields that are impacted are within the port area because our agreements are with the port. We have worked out with the port and are waiting on their board to sign an amendment to the IGA that allows us to compensate the port for crop loss, and then the port would pass that money to the farmers. So it's already been addressed. We've surveyed all those areas. We have exact numbers of what is there. We've given a fair valuation to all those. Our methodology is sound. So we're just waiting on the port to sign the agreement so that we can get the money to them. Thank you. That's awesome.

That's it. And then just the last thing was Jr. Craig went really well, whether it got it. put an effort on some things, but we got some breaks on there. But overall, you know, Public Works did a great job. College, Biden, and PD, as always, did a great job. So it was a good event, and we look forward to next year.

I would love to see the amount of candy they put down the drain. You know, it just took a little longer. But it was a good event, and it was good, too. I agree.

I'm sorry, may I add one more minute? Go ahead. Just as a note, I would like to bring before the council and kind of get, the mayor and I set the agenda for these meetings, but I want to put out a need open that we would love to have a discussion on 2nd Street Plaza and whether that remains open to traffic or is closed and kind of what the parameters are around that. We would like to have that because the council made a specific decision years ago on to have that closed. We would like to bring that back to the council because I believe it's your decision to make not mine. And so we will bring that back. Now, whether that's on August 3rd or August 20th, I'm not sure. You're gonna ask for a date certain. We've got to look at what. I do like date certain. I understand that, but we've got to look at what's already on the agenda and what we had time for. We've already added like three things to the August 3rd agenda. we want to make sure that we can get everything done and give it the time to breathe as it needs so i i'd like to bring that forward to the kids uh on that so with the parking when you finally park the board is that just the permitting process or is that a risk is that is that a amendment of the complete market resolution that we currently have so if your parking resolution establishing the the program And the fees associated with it within our current code.

So later we talked about also taking a look at the read the all. The parking rules and regulations and so that's the that's the greatest resolution sure.

i'm sorry you do the flaws at the same time, maybe those revisions or this i'm happy to be out there on the there's time enough on the agenda that's only discussable. Sure.

I think if we had a parking permit program and, like, the gist of how we enforce that, like you said, at the next meeting, I think that we could wait a meeting or two for the full revisions of the resolution stuff, because I think that's going to take a little bit more in-depth review, but that might also be the time to bring back the closet, or we can bring back... I'm just trying to figure out how to bring it back to us. What I recall, though, is Considerable argument. You're talking about the positive. Off and on for weeks. And it smelled like, well, the last meeting, the last meeting here just a month ago, it was almost like we had a consensus. We just didn't have a resolution on that. So I think it means originally. Oh, yeah.

Originally. Originally, yeah. Originally, it was easy. I was around for one of them.

Or, I mean, you could bring back that. resolution the last thing we talked about the last week was it being open for open and then closed when the request is made and it would be but there was talk about the spots being handicapped in the loading zone versus just free-for-all parking which i think is healthy throughout town there isn't a lot of there isn't a lot of handicap parking that doesn't have or street to cross because a lot of times if they're on the street you're gonna have to get out there and go around and get down somehow to the edge of the thing. I think it would be a very very thoughtful thing to do and it's a lot of effort and people go through. So I would support either direction but I just think there's bigger directions.

So my intent there, Councilmember, is to bring that history to you and give you the meeting minutes, give you the votes, give you the reasons why the letters were very clear. We've got a stack of letters on all sides of that issue. So I just want to make sure the Council has the full width and breadth of that history before you make a decision. And we want to give that to you so that you're making an informed decision not just, hey, what do you think of this idea? Because there is a lot of history there that I believe needs to be considered. All right.

With that, I move that we all throw in the bills. I second that. I second it. There have been bills. Can we please call the council?

Yes. Councilor Offinger? Aye.

Councilor Bouchard? Aye.

Councilor Reynolds?

Aye.

Councilor Sandusky? Aye. Councilor Christ? Aye. Councilor Offinger?

Aye.

Thank you.
