Clackamas County Sheriffs Report Lt. Slaney introduced himself and reviewed the
March 2003 activity report and answered council questions.
City Manager CM Ealy distributed an email from Mike Call asking the city to
contribute to a reader-board at the Junior High that would be used for
displaying school information but could possibly announce community
functions. The council decided that they
did not want to contribute to the school reader-board but did want to pursue
upgrading the current timber park reader-board and maybe partnering with the
Chamber of Commerce and other local groups.
CM Ealy distributed a memo from City Attorney Andrew
Cole regarding the residence at 224 NE Pierce Street and some action by
Clackamas County regarding up to 15 boarders at the residence. The council wants to have the city attorney
work with staff and the county to clear up this situation.
