GUEST PRESENTATION Mike

Mr. Bondi explained a little about extension
services and the proposal of the Clackamas County Commissioners proposing a
county-wide extension services district.
The Commissioners are asking all cities to consider passing a Resolution
supporting the district. After feedback from
cities, the commissioners would hold public hearings and begin the formal
process of forming the district. He
discussed how funding for the program works now and that this county-wide
district tax would enhance and improve extension services in Clackamas County.

City Hall Feasibility Study Skip Stanaway, SRG, reviewed the Estacada City
Hall Feasibility Study and explained how they came up with their conclusions,
findings and costs of implementing the plan.
Dave Bungi explained the structural issues discussed
in the study.
Mr. Stanaway also explained that the mechanical and
electrical systems were also reviewed and both systems need improvement. The electrical service to the building is
adequate but the wiring in the building is inadequate.
The Council discussed the study and whether the
current building could house all the services such as planning, permitting and
public works. CM Ealy stated that the
building may not be an adequate size for all of these services as the city
grows.
Heath Care Feasibility Study CM asked for council support to continue with the
feasibility study. The county may
partner with the city on the study. The
study would evaluate the data related to emergency calls and other data
regarding health car in the community.
The study would identify the needs of the community and conclude whether
or not Estacada needs an urgent care type of facility.
Cr. Nelson moved to allow CM Ealy to proceed with
the study not to exceed $5,000. Cr.
Hartwig seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
