Rockaway Beach council okays contingent purchase agreement for lower Jetty Creek property
Summary
After an executive session, council approved Resolution 2026-19 authorizing a contingent purchase-and-sale agreement and due diligence for real property in the Lower Jetty/Jeredy Creek watershed and empowered staff to pursue a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan with DEQ.
The Rockaway Beach City Council voted unanimously April 8 to approve Resolution 2026-19 authorizing a contingent purchase-and-sale agreement for property in the Lower Jetty (Jeredy) Creek watershed and to proceed with due diligence and loan arrangements.
Council recessed to executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(e) to deliberate real-property negotiations and reconvened to take formal action. The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute the contingent purchase-and-sale agreement, carry out necessary due diligence, return to the council with a recommendation, and sign any Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan agreement with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality if needed.
Councilors voted without recorded debate following the executive session. Staff said the purchase is connected to the recently adopted Forest Resources Stewardship Plan and the OWEB grant discussions that preceded the acquisition effort; city staff will report back after completing due diligence.
