# City Commission Regular Meeting - July 17, 2002

At the Oregon City Commission regular meeting on July 17, 2002, commissioners approved a motion directing staff to study the feasibility of building a combined city hall and library on city-owned property. The discussion included the library’s expiring lease, potential site and parking needs, the possible relocation of police facilities, and funding options such as a bond measure; no ballot measure or construction contract was approved. Commissioners also discussed a possible police levy, with the chief to develop a proposal, and considered other potential ballot measures, including cemetery and street funding. No final levy or tax decision was made. A motion was approved to commit an additional $5,000 toward litigation-related costs. The commission also approved the first reading of an ordinance allowing interest on late telecommunications franchise-fee payments.

Other actions included approving a memorandum of understanding for a river-safety and lifeguard pilot program, postponing proposed changes to the Historic Review Board bylaws, and tabling the proposed Natural Resources Commission ordinance for staff revisions. A resident requested city coordination among the school district, Clackamas Community College, and other parties over stormwater impacts from the Moss Junior High campus. No vendor selection or procurement award was identified.
