House adopts resolution honoring Friends of Timberline's 50 years of preservation
Summary
The Oregon House adopted House Concurrent Resolution 30 recognizing Friends of Timberline Lodge for five decades of volunteer work preserving Timberline Lodge and supporting public access to Mount Hood.
The Oregon House of Representatives on April 1 adopted House Concurrent Resolution 30 recognizing Friends of Timberline Lodge for five decades of volunteer service preserving Timberline Lodge and supporting public access to Mount Hood.
Representative Jeff Helfrich, the resolution sponsor, told colleagues Timberline Lodge "stands at 6,000 feet above sea level" on Mount Hood and described the lodge as one of the state's most recognizable landmarks. Helfrich said Friends of Timberline celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this month and asked members to join in recognition of current president Bruce Mitchell and current treasurer and former president Brett Dahl.
The resolution text honors the volunteer group's work to preserve the Depression-era lodge, and Helfrich urged members to approve the measure so future generations "will have a place they can visit and make their own memories." There was no additional floor debate; the clerk recorded that HCR 30 "having received the required majority, is declared adopted."
The measure is honorary: it recognizes contributions of a nonprofit partner and does not appropriate funds or change state policy. Bruce Mitchell and Brett Dahl were introduced to the chamber as guests accompanying the resolution.
HCR 30 was read and adopted on the floor the same day as several bills were considered; no amendments or further committee referrals were announced on the floor. The House returned to other business after the adoption.
