Council delays selection of League of Oregon Cities priorities until September
Summary
Lily introduced the League of Oregon Cities legislative‑priority survey (27 items; city picks five). Councilors discussed infrastructure, water workforce and housing; the council voted to table the city’s selection until the September meeting.
Lily presented materials and a link to the League of Oregon Cities priorities and explained the city has one collective vote and must return its selections by September 25. She said the packet lists 27 items and that the city should choose five meaningful priorities to submit.
A councilor summarized five priorities they favored — water workforce development, ratepayer assistance, infrastructure funding for water and wastewater, emergency communication resources and streamlining for housing production — and the council debated tradeoffs. After discussion, a councilor moved to table the decision until the September meeting to allow more review; the motion was seconded and adopted on a roll call vote. Lily confirmed the item will return on the September agenda.
