Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting the Molalla City Council approved the consent agenda, unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026-01 on mobile food units, voted to join a PVC-pipe class action, and approved 2026 council goals (including adding Onoway/Main Street to the priorities). All recorded votes were unanimous (7-0).
The Molalla City Council recorded several formal actions on Feb. 11. Below are the key motions and outcomes from the meeting.
Consent agenda — Passed, 7-0 The council approved minutes (01/28/2026), an OLCC license request and Resolution 2026-06 (sole-source procurement and staff findings). Recorded roll-call votes show every member voting aye.
Ordinance 2026-01 (mobile food units) — Adopted, 7-0 After a public hearing and staff presentation, the council held first reading and immediately moved to second reading and adoption by title only. The ordinance rewrites Chapter 17 to differentiate accessory mobile food units (streamlined Type 1 approval and SDC waivers) from primary sites/pods, establishes required approvals (Clackamas County health permit and fire-district signoff) and sets an annual administrative fee to be determined by future resolution. The ordinance takes effect 30 days after adoption.
PVC-pipe antitrust litigation — Council authorized joining the class, 7-0 Staff recommended the city join a pending class action against several PVC pipe manufacturers because the city’s individual damages and litigation costs would likely make separate litigation impractical. Council voted to join the class; roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval.
2026 council goals and priorities (with Onoway addition) — Approved, 7-0 Council adopted a condensed goals-and-priorities document for 2026 and reached consensus to add the Onoway/Main Street connection for the Bear Creek area to the list of infrastructure priorities. Staff will return with cost estimates and options for funding or reimbursement approaches.
Vote tallies and roll-call documentation are included in the meeting record; all the motions above recorded unanimous yes votes from the full council.
