Top issues during term (20)(Development)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Willamette Falls redevelopment
Nearly $400,000 in regional grant funding for waterfront planning work.
Future topics: annexation islands, indigenous naming, branding, civics academy
Willow Ridge Lot 7
Public hearing procedure compliance (CDC 99.170)
The direct cost isn’t spelled out, but hiring an independent hearings officer can add expense while possibly reducing the risk and cost of appeals.
Proposed drive-through car wash at 18850 Willamette Drive
Opponents warn a third wash could fail and leave another long-vacant building on Highway 43.
Consolidation of city operations into one new facility
Unknown — the contract amendment's dollar amount was not included in the published agenda.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging
West Linn Housing Production Strategy
Unknown, though housing strategy decisions can affect development costs and infrastructure spending.
Proposed Tannler Drive mixed-use development
Small-lot, smaller-home development
The outcome could shape housing costs and supply in West Linn—more units may ease price pressure, while delays or downzoning could keep homes scarce and expensive.
Slope stability and geotechnical safety of the facility site
About $17 million in early work approved; staff say the project is on budget and early work could save money before wet weather.
Advisory Board Vacancies
Shared Building Permitting and Inspections (BESA IGA)
Reduces spending on third-party consultant building services.
Operations Complex appeal and hearings officer delegation
Hearings officer costs aren't stated, but the appeal could delay or reshape the multi-million-dollar project.
development proposal testimony limits
The limit could cut delay costs for the developer, but it also blocks public scrutiny of fiscal issues tied to housing, infrastructure, and affordability.
