Natural Resources Committee - August 12, 2026

The Natural Resources Committee of Oregon City convened on August 12, 2026, primarily to discuss the development and refinement of an informational brochure related to the Natural Resources Overlay District (NROD). The committee reviewed the brochure's content aimed at approximately 2,000 property owners affected by the NROD, emphasizing the importance of contacting the planning division before making changes to their properties. The discussion focused on ensuring the brochure was clear, friendly, and educational rather than regulatory or enforcement-oriented. The committee also considered including graphics such as maps and images of native and invasive vegetation to complement the text. The communications coordinator, Jared Lyman, was identified as the staff member responsible for the brochure's graphic design, with plans to review draft versions before finalizing. No procurement actions, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
