Council received an update on the state‑funded resiliency hub: site plans and renderings are being prepared for an August planning commission submittal, a draft grant agreement from Oregon Resiliency and Emergency Management is expected for legal review, and preliminary electrical work indicates using the farmers‑market pedestal may reduce costs pending Tillamook PUD confirmation.
