City Council Work Session, Regular Meeting, and URA Meeting June 1, 2026

The City of Wilsonville, OR, held a City Council Work Session, Regular Meeting, and Urban Renewal Agency (URA) Meeting on June 1, 2026. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the 2026 Town Center urban renewal feasibility study, where staff and consultants presented updated financial projections, including a maximum indebtedness of $92.3 million and a proposed 28-year duration for the urban renewal plan. Council members discussed the assumptions behind residential unit counts, commercial square footage, and infrastructure projects such as the I-5 pedestrian bridge, with some expressing concerns about the feasibility and community support for the plan. The council voted to confirm the revised feasibility study as a basis for a November 2026 ballot measure and directed staff to develop ballot language. Additionally, the council approved resolution 3262 allocating community enhancement funds for fiscal years 2026-2027, with some debate over political activities of grant applicants. The meeting also included a public hearing and first reading of ordinance 9003, adopting amendments to the city code to comply with new state housing laws, streamlining land use reviews, and adjusting public notice requirements. The Urban Renewal Agency adopted its 2026-2027 budget, allocating $7.3 million primarily for rebate programs and capital improvement projects. The meeting featured discussions on economic development, housing, parks and nature, and regional collaboration with Metro, but no new contracts or procurement awards were reported.
