Newberg Urban Renewal Agency and City Council Meetings - July 20, 2026

The City of Newberg held its Urban Renewal Agency and City Council meetings on July 20, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the adoption of resolutions and ordinances related to the deanexation of certain parcels from the Newberg Urban Renewal Area and the city limits, which involved removing approximately 28 acres of land due to zoning and infrastructure challenges. The council approved resolution 2026-1626 and ordinance 2026-2945 to formalize this deanexation, noting the minimal tax revenue impact as the parcels were vacant land. Another significant procurement-related topic was the legislative hearing on Waste Management's proposal to add four new queuing lanes at the waste transfer station on Wuski Road. The council recommended approval of this project to Yamhill County, with conditions to ensure alignment with city goals and future development plans. Waste Management representatives discussed operational improvements, traffic flow, and plans for construction starting in October 2026. Additionally, the council approved an updated library internet policy and discussed consolidating court procedures with the nearby city of Dundee, including a financial arrangement for processing citations. The River Street ad hoc committee provided an update on their progress, including community input and expert consultations on tree removal and street design plans. Overall, the meeting focused on land use adjustments, infrastructure improvements, and intergovernmental service coordination, with several motions and resolutions passed to advance these initiatives.
