During a recent government meeting, the council approved an interlocal agreement with Clackamas County aimed at facilitating debris removal in the event of a large-scale catastrophe, particularly in light of potential risks associated with the Great Cascadia event. The agreement was deemed essential for preparedness across the Willamette Valley and the Metro area.

Councilor Davis initiated the motion to approve the agreement, which was seconded by Council President Hesley. The motion passed unanimously with a 6-0 vote, underscoring the council's commitment to disaster readiness.

In other business, the council discussed the ongoing recruitment for a new city attorney, clarifying that the application deadline is September 20th, rather than October 20th as previously mentioned. The council is moving forward with this recruitment process as part of its efforts to ensure effective governance.
