City Commission Work Session - June 9, 2026

The City of Oregon City held a commission work session on June 9, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on the library's recommendation to eliminate overdue fines for materials starting August 1, 2026, and to waive approximately $24,000 in outstanding fines. The commission expressed support for these recommendations, noting the minimal financial impact on the library's budget and alignment with broader state and national trends. Additionally, the commission discussed potential future ordinances to ban flavored nicotine products, emphasizing the need for coalition-building with neighboring cities and counties to ensure effective enforcement and avoid legal challenges. Other topics included updates on city projects, economic development concerns, and transportation system planning, but no direct contract awards or RFPs were mentioned. The commission agreed to prioritize the nicotine ban discussion in upcoming work sessions and considered capping marijuana business licenses as a future agenda item.
