City Council Regular Meeting 2/18/2025

The City Council of Milwaukie, Oregon, held a regular meeting on February 18, 2025. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a resolution amending the contract with BMS Technologies for utility bill printing and mailing services, and reinstating a grant agreement with Justice and Security Strategies for a body-worn camera policy and implementation program. The council also authorized a financing contract with the State of Oregon for development purposes. Additionally, the council conducted a public hearing and subsequently approved amendments to the municipal zoning code to remove prohibitions on variances to maximum density, facilitating potential increases in housing development density by up to 25%. The meeting included updates on legislative tracking related to housing, water, and environmental bills, with no immediate procurement actions tied to those updates. Public comments addressed concerns about historic building inventories and local development issues, but no direct procurement decisions arose from these comments.
