Votes at a glance: commission vacates platted street, authorizes records box rental and funds League litigation
The Oregon City Commission voted on several agenda items during the meeting, approving an ordinance to vacate an undeveloped portion of a platted street, authorizing a safety‑deposit box rental for city records, approving a $6,390 League of Oregon Cities contribution and reappointing two OCCIT members.

Ordinance O11027: The commission considered Ordinance No. O11027, described in the meeting as vacating an undeveloped portion of "Otelli" (transcript spelling) in the Clackamas Heights recorded plat between Front Avenue and Frederick Street. The clerk called the roll. The transcript records the following responses during that roll call: "Mister Van Jones? Aye. Mister Collins? Aye. Mister Holliday? No. Mister Hayden? Aye." The ordinance was adopted by recorded vote as read into the record.

Resolution 01‑35: The commission approved Resolution No. 01‑35, authorizing the city to rent one safety‑deposit box at Clackamas Federal Credit Union for city records and microfilm. Staff explained that because the credit union operates as a municipal corporation, the board (commission) must authorize the city’s signers. The resolution was moved, seconded and adopted by roll call.

League of Oregon Cities: A motion from Commissioner Holliday (mover on the record) to contribute $6,390 to the League of Oregon Cities' Quest litigation fund was moved and seconded. Staff explained the proposed contribution would likely be paid from general‑fund contingency because it was not budgeted. The motion passed by roll call.

Appointments: The mayor announced reappointments of Jane Church and Dr. Scott Dunfrey to OCCIT; there was no objection.

Other business: The commission discussed timelines for bidding a new fire station (advertise per city code for bid, two advertisements totaling 14 days) and related corrective action at 'College Station.' The commission also set a future agenda item for an up‑or‑down vote on negotiating a new contract with the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

The transcript contains recorded yea/nay responses for the street vacation roll call and for some other roll calls; when the transcript did not provide a full roll‑call tally for a vote, this summary notes that the item was adopted and records the vote language as presented in the meeting.
