City Council Regular Session 04/21/2026

The City Council of Milwaukie, Oregon, held a regular session on April 21, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on intergovernmental agreements with the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD). The council reviewed and approved resolutions authorizing the city manager to sign agreements that would transfer control and responsibility for Milwaukee Bay Park to the city, including financial contributions totaling approximately $4.86 million from NCPRD. The agreements also clarified maintenance responsibilities, capital improvements, and programming roles. The council emphasized the need to move forward promptly to secure grant funding and begin construction by 2027. Additionally, the meeting addressed minor amendments to the city's tree code aimed at improving clarity and consistency, with some council members expressing concerns about state-level preemption potentially undermining local tree preservation efforts. Other topics included community announcements, public comments on urban forestry, and upcoming events, but no other procurement actions were noted.
