Top issues during term (20)
Tandler Drive appeal delegation to hearings officer
The applicant estimates roughly $4.9 million in road improvements and is proposing to pay 29% of the cost; city staff floated around 20% for the city.
Vision 43 Highway 43 rezoning outreach
The forced water main replacement cost the city a major unbudgeted expense in the ten-to-twenty-million-dollar range, straining the budget.
Oppenlander middle-housing engagement and parks SDCs
SDC revenue could be the main funding source if the city tries to buy or preserve part of the site.
Willamette Riverfront TIF plan amendment for 1793 8th Avenue acquisition
A ~$1 million purchase would leave only about $45,000 per year of TIF revenue available for other district projects.
Abernethy Bridge construction oversight
Possible costs for noise monitoring, temporary housing accommodations, and potential property damage claims haven't been quantified.
Sub-regional transit service study
About $40,000 from West Linn for its quarter share of the study.
Noise Ordinance Adequacy
Enforcement costs could fall on limited patrol staff if citations become practical.
construction impacts on residents
Unknown; mitigation measures such as hotel accommodations for neighbors have been discussed.
Oppenlander tree grove preservation and street connectivity
Possible use of system development charges to fund acquisition is on the table, but no dollar figure has been set.
Drinking water system funding and the 5% utility rate cap
Residents should expect water rate conversations, as capital needs are large and rate caps limit the city's ability to raise revenue.
Planning Work Plan and Department Capacity
Better timing means limited planning dollars (about 1.5% of the city budget) go to projects the community actually prioritizes.
Creation of a Public Use Zone
Fits within existing staff capacity, per the director, since no public engagement is required at the code-writing stage.
State housing statute compliance
Unknown, though housing strategy decisions can affect development costs and infrastructure spending.
Designation of City-Owned Property on Cedar Oak Drive
No dedicated maintenance fund exists; neighbors will do most of the upkeep to keep the city's burden light.
Willow Ridge Lot 7
Traffic congestion and safety at Willamette Drive and Walling Way
Any Highway 43 mitigation would need ODOT approval and could carry public cost; no figure was given.
Future topics: annexation islands, indigenous naming, branding, civics academy
Willamette Falls redevelopment
Nearly $400,000 in regional grant funding for waterfront planning work.
Hearings officer jurisdiction challenge
HAPO's role in the review
