Councilor Schaub stated that due to another appointment she missed Senator Merkley's town
hall meeting at Woodburn High School but heard that there was a good turnout.
Councilor Morris stated that he would like fall time politicians to remember that a lot of people
are unable to attend their town halls when they take place in the middle of the day. He thanked
City Staff for closing the parks during the wind storm.
Councilor Lonergan stated that he appreciated knowing early that the parks were closing
during the windstorm. Councilor Lonergan asked if the City had any serious issues from the
storm. City Administrator Derickson answered that there were a few issues including 911
communications being knocked down and added that an after action report will be created to
help prevent that from happening again. He added that there were power lines down, and some
property damage but he is not aware of any injuries.
0:35 WORKSHOP
Councilor Lonergan opened the workshop at 7;36 p.m. to review and discuss First Street
Improvements-Oak Street to Harrison Street.City Administrator Derickson noted that though
this is an Urban Renewal project since there is no action being taken the workshop is taking
place during the City Council meeting. Interim Public Works Director Liljequist provided a
staff report and a presentation with an overview of the First Street Improvements - Oak Street
to Harrison Street. Council members asked questions and provided comments and direction
regarding the improvement options. City Administrator Derickson summarized that what he
is hearing from the Council is that everyone agrees on abandoning the one way street concept
and undergrounding of utility lines and to contact PGE on making the wires look better.
Councilor Carney stated that he prefers angled parking with the Couplet. Councilor Lonergan
stated that he prefers parallel parking. Councilor Morris stated that he doesn't think people
will like the couplet and that not undergrounding utilities is going to be an issue. Councilor
Lonergan recommended another workshop on this and that options two and three should be
brought back to be discussed again. He added that he feels there is agreement to put the
undergrounding of utilities to bed. City Administrator Derickson stated that they will bring
this back for additional review and discussion sometime this summer. Councilor Lonergan
closed the workshop at 8:39 p.m.
