1. CONVENE MEETING
Mayor Austin called the workshop to order at 9:00
pm.
2. PROPOSED
ORDINANCES
Chronic Nuisance Ordinance CM reviewed the ordinance and it was council
consensus to place an ordinance on the next agenda.
Amended Loitering Ordinance The council would like to see this placed on the
next agenda.
Gas Tax Ordinance CM reviewed the discussion at the county level for a street utility
fee and the difference between that and a gas tax. Several jurisdictions in Oregon have a gas
tax. The mayor commented on the gas tax
and feels it may the fairest way to obtain money for street maintenance. It was council consensus to go forward on
implementation of a gas tax rather than a street utility fee. Staff will talk to the petroleum dealers in
town regarding the tax and what the dollars would be used for. Council instructed staff to also get some
numbers together on projected revenues for $.01 and $.02 per gallon tax.
Skinny Streets Cr. Atkinson asked why the council was discussing this again. CM stated that larger communities have begun
to allow streets to be skinny but smaller communities still require wider streets. The council has not seen a need to change the
street standards but would be willing to look at other codes from neighboring
cities such as Molalla to compare their street standards.
School District Ball field MOU Council would like to see a draft of an agreement
on what the school and the city are proposing as a joint effort for ball
fields.
3. ADJOURNMENT
The workshop was adjourned at 9:20 pm.
