Gresham City Council Business Meeting, Sept. 15, 2026

The Gresham City Council held a business meeting on September 15, 2026, where they addressed several procurement and budget-related items. The council approved a consent agenda that included appointments to committees, a resolution authorizing state revolving fund loan agreements for stormwater projects, additional funding for an affordable housing bond measure (Terasina Vista), and an amendment to contract 312807. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing and adopting the city's annual investment policy, which governs the management and investment of approximately $434 million in city funds. The policy update incorporated best practices and addressed comments from the Oregon Short-Term Fund Board, with the council unanimously approving the revised policy. The city manager also reported on ongoing capital projects, including a grant-funded street light improvement project and economic development initiatives such as the opening of a new distribution center bringing 150 jobs to Gresham. Additionally, the council discussed community safety efforts and public engagement related to the groundwater transition. No new contract awards or RFPs were announced during the meeting, but the approval of funding agreements and investment policy updates reflect ongoing financial stewardship and capital improvement planning.
