The Lake Oswego City Council meeting on November 3, 2026, approved the consent agenda, including appointments to the Historic Resources Advisory Board and an extension of the Rivergrove Wastewater intergovernmental agreement (IGA). The council also tentatively approved Ordinances 2979 and 2984, covering annual amendments to the community development and tree codes, and directed staff to return with findings on November 17. The amendments include a narrower neighborhood-meeting requirement for certain middle-housing land divisions, a streamlined minor-variance path for some existing carports converted to garages, and interim code changes to comply with state middle-housing requirements. Council discussed possible future garage-code revisions, but took no action on them.

The council discussed the 2026–2029 economic development strategy, including outreach and equitable services for minority-, women-, veteran-owned, and COBID-certified businesses; the transcript does not capture a vote on the strategy or a new spending commitment. Separately, it approved Resolution 26-57 and authorized the city manager to execute an IGA for an independent transit study; no contract amount or consultant name is clear in the transcript. No specific procurement award or dollar allocation was identified. The council then entered executive session for real-property negotiations and consideration of records exempt from public disclosure.
