Council President opened the July work session to review the proposed term sheet for a potential 20-year lease between the city and the Portland Trail Blazers, explained council's advisory role (not the city's negotiating team), and announced public hearings Aug. 5–6 and a council vote planned for Aug. 12. He said the goal is a memorandum of understanding by end of year and a long-term lease in early 2027.
