Mayor: Grand Pacific Junction won’t join DORA; some restaurants still on board
Summary
Mayor Chad Gluss told the council that the Grand Pacific Junction property owner declined to participate in the DORA, while Councilwoman Jennifer Jansen said enough businesses have committed for a modest rollout.
Mayor Chad Gluss told the committee that Grand Pacific Junction "does not want to participate in the DORA," noting that a single property owner can prohibit tenant participation on private property.
Councilwoman Jennifer Jansen responded that participation among other businesses is sufficient for a small start: "there is enough participation to make the DORA happen, but it will be small in the beginning." Council members discussed logistical questions, including cups, pricing and liability; Jansen said participating businesses would purchase the souvenir cups and set prices themselves. The mayor said he is hopeful the junction will reconsider after a successful summer run.
Council members also discussed community-event cooperation: the junction has expressed interest in community activities such as providing a tree for the tree-lighting but declined liability for Heritage Days activities on private property. No formal action or vote on DORA rules occurred at the meeting.
