Summary

As part of its annual housekeeping, the council approved ORD 25-01 to readopt state statutes (including minor changes to camping fines, traffic rules, and forfeiture provisions) into the municipal code per League of Oregon Cities guidance.

The council completed a second reading and adopted ORD 25-01, the city’s regular annual readoption of state statutes into municipal code.

City Manager Spence said the practice is recommended by the League of Oregon Cities and noted three code areas affected by 2024 legislative changes: camping fines, traffic rules and a forfeiture provision tied to hit-and-run incidents. Councilor Adams moved to adopt the ordinance, it was seconded, and the council approved the ordinance on roll call.

The measure was framed as routine code maintenance to ensure city ordinances match statutory changes made during the 2024 legislative session.
