Commissioners raise concern about Timbertown Grub’s situation; city news includes new councilor and safety message after Sandy shooting
Summary
Commissioner Margie reported social media indicating Timbertown Grub may be facing closure tied to a landlord permit issue and asked whether the commission could help facilitate communication; city representative Jerry noted a new councilor, Mark Diloretto, and urged community caution after a recent mass shooting in Sandy.
At the June 1 meeting the Downtown Estacada Commission discussed a local business problem and city-level updates. Commissioner Margie said she had seen social media posts suggesting Timbertown Grub was at risk of closing and described the situation as tied to a landlord who "didn't have the right permits" for changes to the building.
"They're a amazing business," Margie said, adding she had spoken with one side of the issue and did not have both perspectives. She asked whether the commission might help facilitate communication between the business and city staff; commissioners said they did not have all the facts and no formal action was taken.
Jerry gave a city update during the meeting, saying the City Council will welcome a new councilor, Mark Diloretto, a retired military member. Jerry also referenced a recent mass shooting in nearby Sandy, saying the event made the community’s sense of safety feel closer to home and urging residents to look out for one another.
The commission did not vote or direct staff to take specific regulatory action on the Timbertown Grub matter during the meeting; commissioners suggested someone reach out to the business for more information. The meeting closed after routine administrative items.
