so uh

91
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:56,799
well change is constant over the course

92
00:03:56,799 --> 00:03:59,280
of human history certain watershed

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,720
moments or eras have pulled us as humans

94
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,280
globally and as a nation either toward

95
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,840
or away from the oppression of others or

96
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,439
toward or away

97
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:11,040
from the recognition of our shared

98
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,519
humanity and equality

99
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:15,599
in the months since we presented last

100
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:17,359
many of us found ourselves in another

101
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:18,959
watershed moment

102
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,359
as it relates to equality as defined by

103
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:23,680
gender identity racial identity and

104
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,430
class

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,120
none of the branches of government our

106
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,280
governmental institutions nor our

107
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,160
nation's constitution is infallible and

108
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,600
at every level of government we're

109
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,960
called to

110
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,800
continuous improvement

111
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,880
to create a more perfect union and our

112
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040
country's commitment to equity requires

113
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,919
us to always ask continuous improvement

114
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:48,629
for whom

115
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:51,360
the 4th of july weekend

116
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,510
in which we saw

117
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,880
murder

118
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,479
mass murder

119
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:01,120
and also the death of an unknown black

120
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,160
man we saw that juxtaposition between

121
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,080
the value of the life

122
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,840
of a mass murderer and an unarmed

123
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,120
individual and as we continue to

124
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,280
consider how we can advance equity

125
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,280
within our spheres of influence we at

126
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:18,080
oei ce the office of equity inclusion

127
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,720
and community engagement are also

128
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,240
encouraging a consideration of

129
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000
intersectionality of identities

130
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,240
for example while washington county

131
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,639
strives to address present day

132
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,520
inequities such as birth outcomes

133
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,560
we are focusing in on poor outcomes

134
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,199
borne by black women related to infant

135
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,600
and maternal mortality

136
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,680
as we do that we have to recognize that

137
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,520
the experience of pregnancy for black

138
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,080
women during slavery was coerced and

139
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,840
without consent

140
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,639
in fact the very field of gynecology

141
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:55,600
has its roots in white men's use of

142
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,160
black women's bodies for research again

143
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800
without consent

144
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,960
the professionalization of nurses

145
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,360
marginalized black midwives and doulas

146
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,360
whose knowledge had roots far more

147
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,680
historical than western medicine

148
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,160
and in many of our lifetimes white

149
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,639
healthcare institutions subjected black

150
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:17,199
women latinos and indigenous women

151
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,520
to for sterilization in the name of

152
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,080
public health again without black latina

153
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,680
and indigenous women's knowledge or

154
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,960
consent

155
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,039
our equity work whether local or on a

156
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:29,039
larger scale has to recognize the

157
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:31,600
intersection of gender race and class

158
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,840
in order to dismantle the structures

159
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,240
that make it possible to undermine

160
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,160
fundamental rights to women's health

161
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,600
infant health and bodily autonomy

162
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,759
similarly as our workforce was once

163
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,000
again reeling from the mass murders in

164
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,520
buffalo new york and uvalde texas

165
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,759
we've also spent time reflecting on the

166
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:53,440
causes of gun violence in our

167
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,759
communities including the toxic

168
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:58,319
combination of hyper masculinity

169
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:01,360
racism the violence of poverty and the

170
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,560
legal

171
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,639
legacy of physical violence

172
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:07,039
and the lack of value placed on black

173
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:10,639
indigenous brown latino rotten eggs and

174
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,319
immigrant lives throughout our nation's

175
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:13,759
history

176
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,160
both of these examples are a reflection

177
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,560
of how we in the office of equity

178
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,400
inclusion and community engagement

179
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,240
approach our equity work

180
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,479
we lead with race but we don't stop

181
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:27,120
there we consider the ways our society

182
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,840
and our county policies and practices

183
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,720
marginalized people across race and age

184
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,840
race and geography race and class

185
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,639
race and gender identity race and sexual

186
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:39,919
orientation

187
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:43,199
disability and veteran status

188
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,280
we cannot ignore the fact that in all of

189
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,199
the various ways people have experienced

190
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,199
marginalization

191
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:52,080
racism compounds that marginalization

192
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,440
even further

193
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,360
to move forward we have to consider both

194
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,599
our universal goals for equity

195
00:07:57,599 --> 00:07:59,599
and how people in our washington county

196
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:01,919
community experience barriers to the

197
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:04,000
best possible outcomes

198
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,589
next slide please

199
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:10,879
so what do we do to advance equity

200
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:13,120
so equity as you all know is focused on

201
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,400
outcomes

202
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960
we will have achieved equity

203
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,280
when we can no longer predict outcomes

204
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,680
by race gender sexual orientation

205
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,280
ability veteran status geography etc

206
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440
we will know we are on the way to equity

207
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,240
when we can no longer predict leadership

208
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,800
access to power and participation in

209
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,680
shaping policy and programs by race and

210
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:37,760
other social factors

211
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,680
in order to do that we need robust

212
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,000
community engagement to develop pathways

213
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,640
to dismantle barriers to participation

214
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,399
to decision making

215
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,320
and build processes that engage more

216
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,480
voices wisdom and experience that

217
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,959
engagement will help inform not just our

218
00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:55,839
desired outcomes from our investments

219
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:58,240
but tailored strategies that recognize

220
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,160
we don't all have the same starting

221
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,440
point in life or in our family's lives

222
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,360
my experiences challenges and

223
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,519
opportunities are not the same as yours

224
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,279
and vice versa

225
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,839
equitable policy making equitable

226
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:14,640
program design requires identifying

227
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,600
understanding and addressing structural

228
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,399
barriers to optimal outcomes

229
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,560
it is a never-ending journey of

230
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,640
listening and learning

231
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,310
next slide

232
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,560
at some point in our quarterly

233
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,440
presentations i identified that we will

234
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,440
be in the initial stages of change

235
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,480
through 2022 that was so optimistic

236
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,360
here we are halfway through 2022 and

237
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600
what i'm recognizing as i am sure you

238
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,040
are as well

239
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,360
that this is a cyclical rather than a

240
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000
linear process we are definitely seeing

241
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,959
initial results as you will hear that

242
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:55,920
each initiative oeice and others takes

243
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,000
on to advance equity

244
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,120
puts us back at point two change

245
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,399
introduced

246
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:06,000
of introducing change 0.3 resistance in

247
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,040
point 4 and learning until we see more

248
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,800
initial results

249
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,200
in the context of transitioning to one

250
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,160
washington county design the future in

251
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,880
the upcoming community strategic plan

252
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,959
for washington county

253
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:23,440
while still leathering the coven

254
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,560
pandemic this organization continues to

255
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,279
adapt to change on multiple fronts

256
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:31,920
the graciousness of staff towards each

257
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,760
other as we move forward with

258
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,000
exceptionally full plates has been

259
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,320
something that continues to impress me

260
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,310
next slide

261
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040
as our work evolves one thing that we're

262
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920
learning in oeice is that there is less

263
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,839
and less separation or distinction

264
00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:54,560
between community engagement and equity

265
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,800
diversity and inclusion work community

266
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,279
engagement is a central pillar of

267
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,120
effective equity work

268
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,440
so as we move forward in our quarterly

269
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,480
reports to your board we will separate

270
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,360
out the work for reporting purposes and

271
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,279
in our team structure however we are

272
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:12,880
noticing that it is becoming

273
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,959
increasingly challenging

274
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:17,200
to separate out uh

275
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,040
the um

276
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,800
that community engagement from the

277
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,640
equity diversity and inclusion work as

278
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,839
we move forward

279
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:29,040
um so just a touch base on two points uh

280
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160
that are new within this uh timeline we

281
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,680
just continued to add to it um april

282
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,240
2022 you all

283
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,079
established the advisory council on

284
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:41,760
racial equity

285
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,200
and we'll talk a little bit more about

286
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,560
that and then

287
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,880
uh this past june

288
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,440
you adopted a budget that was informed

289
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,360
for the first time by the budget equity

290
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,279
tool so we thank you for your continued

291
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:56,560
commitment to our equity journey and at

292
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,639
this point i will turn it over to amanda

293
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:00,320
to talk about initiatives and

294
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,399
accomplishments of the community

295
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:06,470
engagement team over the past quarter

296
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,399
thanks latricia uh good evening chair

and i'm here to share a bit of the

300
00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:15,519
latest work happening in community

301
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,720
engagement sorry amanda

302
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,399
vice chair willie

303
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,760
has an urgent need sure well it isn't an

304
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,600
urgent need i just want to respond back

305
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,480
to

306
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,800
ask for clarification from latricia when

307
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,839
she said

308
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:31,519
it's becoming more increasingly

309
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,800
difficult to separate out equity from

310
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,880
community engagement

311
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,519
did i did i re hear that correctly

312
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:42,000
latricia and could you give me a little

313
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,160
bit more

314
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,120
um information behind that because that

315
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,360
seems

316
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,320
um

317
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,440
that that doesn't seem to jive for me so

318
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,600
can you give me more information on that

319
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,839
sure and it was really just more in how

320
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:00,079
we structure this quarterly report in

321
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:01,600
the past we've had

322
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600
a community engagement section and then

323
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,240
we've had an equity section and now we

324
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,480
see more community engagement around

325
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,200
some of our critical equity work and we

326
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,160
also see our equity work involving more

327
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,399
community engagement so for it's more

328
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,959
that for us the lines are blurring and

329
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:20,560
how we've structured our reporting

330
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:21,680
process

331
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,440
and the lines

332
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,639
blur

333
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,000
somewhat in terms of how we

334
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
do our work within our office so that

335
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,839
the community engagement team is often

336
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:34,320
leading on equity work and our equity

337
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,519
team is often doing community engagement

338
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:39,920
okay that makes perfect sense to me i i

339
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,240
just misunderstood what you said there

340
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,519
so thank you very much for that

341
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,160
clarification and sorry amanda i didn't

342
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,680
mean to get in front of you there oh

343
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,279
that's all right

344
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:54,230
next slide please

345
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,199
and next slide

346
00:13:57,199 --> 00:13:59,920
so um this slide is not new it's one

347
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,160
that we put into the presentation but it

348
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,240
does it is a representation of the

349
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,240
various ways in which community can

350
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800
engage with you all and staff throughout

351
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,920
the county um and so we just keep adding

352
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,920
it or continue to show it because i

353
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,240
think it um it really highlights that so

354
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,959
much more than any one specific event

355
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:20,480
there are all these opportunities that

356
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,560
people have to engage and we're really

357
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,240
working to as literature mentioned make

358
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,320
those equitable

359
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,440
uh next slide please

360
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,760
so beginning with some of our externally

361
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160
uh facing projects we have um

362
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040
reapportionment which as you know um now

363
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,880
we are conducting the engage the

364
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,880
community engagement in three phases

365
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,399
we're currently in phase two and

366
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,639
planning uh face and the planning stage

367
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:46,880
for phase three uh to accomplish this

368
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,560
work which includes in-person and

369
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,399
virtual events as well as digital

370
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:53,440
engagement and an online survey uh

371
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,639
and some of those things are focused

372
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:56,839
specifically on culturally specific

373
00:14:56,839 --> 00:14:58,880
participation um

374
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,680
we are working with espousal strategies

375
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,880
to help us

376
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,199
carry the water on that work and really

377
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:06,480
ensure that we're kind of and

378
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,160
community-based organizations to ensure

379
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,000
that we're connecting with the community

380
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,920
and then as you heard earlier today we

381
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
um we had a last-minute opportunity to

382
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,560
be at the fair on saturday and with the

383
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,680
proposed

384
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,560
uh

385
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360
map option the proposed district maps to

386
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,079
share with with the public and we had

387
00:15:24,079 --> 00:15:25,839
about 47 people

388
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:28,160
identify their preferred option over the

389
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,800
course of the day so um that was pretty

390
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,560
uh that was pretty great because we

391
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,000
weren't that was sort of a last minute

392
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,440
pull together and we were happy that we

393
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,519
were able to do that

394
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:39,440
and uh thank you tom and sylvia for

395
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,639
representing us as well as oei ce staff

396
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,720
and cpo revisioning so this is a

397
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,519
long-term project um that will start by

398
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:49,839
looking at cpo boundaries to potentially

399
00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:51,040
align with the new commissioner

400
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,880
districts so it's really

401
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,560
you know we won't fully kick this work

402
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,480
off until we have a better sense of what

403
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,160
the districts will be until those are

404
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,120
approved

405
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,000
by you all and later this year um but

406
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,839
until that work is in full swing we have

407
00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:06,079
contracted with linda haramio to

408
00:16:06,079 --> 00:16:09,440
facilitate uh conversations and help us

409
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600
develop service agreements in the

410
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,079
interim period that we can have with

411
00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:17,040
cpos and cci so that we can have really

412
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,480
clear roles

413
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,680
about the work that we're doing together

414
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,959
this um

415
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:24,560
this service agreement process has

416
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,399
already begun with a survey to cpo

417
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:29,120
leaders and cci representatives and then

418
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,560
she will be having more in-depth

419
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,199
conversations with them

420
00:16:33,199 --> 00:16:35,279
for civic leadership training we

421
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:37,199
received some really great proposals

422
00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:39,839
from a variety of culturally specific

423
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:43,519
community-based organizations uh and

424
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:45,839
so much so that the the requests are

425
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,839
over twice as much money as we have set

426
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:51,440
aside to um to uh provide for this

427
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,160
project and so we're really um as we

428
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,759
review those proposals we're really

429
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:58,240
starting to think creatively about how

430
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,600
can we fund

431
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,399
uh

432
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:02,079
how can we you know how can we fund

433
00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:03,519
these things or what can we do to

434
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:05,280
provide comprehensive civic leadership

435
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,600
training opportunities to the community

436
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,079
um and so we're i'm super excited about

437
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,559
the response that we got and um and

438
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:14,240
we'll keep you posted on

439
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,919
how that goes

440
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:18,400
uh in terms of the board the quarterly

441
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,120
town hall so um we held this quarter two

442
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:24,000
town hall on june 23rd um it was focused

443
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,760
on resources and programs for older

444
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,240
adults there were 20 people on zoom that

445
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,880

and we were up to 79 views on youtube

448
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,840
and so we have started planning the

449
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,360
quarter three town hall which is

450
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,799
scheduled for september 28th

451
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:46,080
next slide please

452
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,080
in regard to regional partnerships and

453
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,440
this is one of the examples that

454
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240
latricio is referring to we're working

455
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,520
with the cities of hillsborough and

456
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,440
beaverton to conduct arpa-related

457
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,600
community engagement and the three of us

458
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,520
jurisdictions will be contracting um

459
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,240
with a team led by espousal strategies

460
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,320
and uh included on their team a variety

461
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,039
of culturally specific and responsive

462
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:09,679
organizations to help carry that to help

conduct that work um really the goal

464
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,840
here is to have some shared community

465
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,240
engagement practices and build capacity

466
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,440
within cbo's for community engagement

467
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,200
there's been a fair amount of

468
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,840
administrative work to get to this point

469
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,200
when you have three jurisdictions

470
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,320
involved in that type of process but a

471
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,559
spousal is officially on board and this

472
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:32,559
week we will introduce them to the covid

473
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:35,200
racial advisory group who had a

474
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,440
significant role in helping us with the

475
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,280
rfp and selecting

476
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,840
the

477
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,830
contractor and next slide please

478
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,320
so for our internal um projects that

479
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,559
we're working on the equitable community

480
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:52,480
engagement policy which i brought to you

481
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,080
a couple of weeks ago and we'll bring

482
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,400
back after more fiscal and legal

483
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,000
analysis as well as more stakeholder

484
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,440
input

485
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,799
and i'll be coming back to you in

486
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:02,720
september with that i think tentatively

487
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,200
scheduled for september um and as a

488
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,120
reminder this is really this policy is

489
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,799
really about ensuring best practices

490
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:10,799
across the organization for equity

491
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:13,280
centered engagement it's also related to

492
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,799
the arpa work in the sense that the

493
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,039
jurisdictions have committed to

494
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,200
alignment of best practices and

495
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,200
engagement strategies in an effort to

496
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,880
reduce burden to community-based

497
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,880
organizations and the community as a

498
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,160
whole and so

499
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,919
um we'll be working closely with the

500
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:31,039
jurisdictions on that too

501
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,160
um

502
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,760
sorry not specifically on the policy but

503
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,559
on those strategies

504
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:37,360
and

505
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,440
um boards and commissions so we continue

506
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,440
to use the data that we collect in the

507
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,640
application prop um process to inform

508
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,960
our recruitment work um in addition to

509
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,600
that the equity leadership council

510
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,280
committee that's focused on diversity

511
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,120
and inclusion best practices for boards

512
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:55,039
and commissions

513
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:57,360
has been working for over a year on

514
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,760
standards and shared practices related

515
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,559
to

516
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:03,679
recruitment onboarding training bylaws

517
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:05,200
all things boards and commissions in the

518
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,120
county they're really it's a great

519
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,120
committee they've been really motivated

520
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,760
they've taken on some big pieces of work

521
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,720
um

522
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,320
in that process their work has also

523
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,760
really highlighted the need for us to

524
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,600
to think about the overall role of

525
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,440
boards and commissions in the county

526
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,159
which is a big question and so i think

527
00:20:24,159 --> 00:20:26,000
we're just kind of recognizing the the

528
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,240
need to start thinking about that and um

529
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,840
and where do they fit in the community

530
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,840
engagement spectrum and um you know what

531
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,039
are we

532
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:36,159
asking of them etc and so lots of big

533
00:20:36,159 --> 00:20:38,240
questions related to that and it and

534
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,840
we'll be we'll start looking at this in

535
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,440
the coming months and

536
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,640
and figure out what we need to do

537
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,799
the land acknowledgement implementation

538
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:48,240
group had their kickoff meeting at the

539
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,520
end of june

540
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,960
and is really ready to hit the ground

541
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,240
running with looking at the

542
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,919
recommendations from our indigenous

543
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,400
partners in relation to county practice

544
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,600
and so they're going to start with

545
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
looking at the various types of meetings

546
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,120
that are held

547
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,640
throughout the county

548
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,400
organization and held by the county

549
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,159
organization and really start to dive

550
00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:07,440
into

551
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,679
you know how are we

552
00:21:09,679 --> 00:21:11,360
what are those meetings what is you know

553
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:12,480
how are they how could they be

554
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,640
categorized in a sense of

555
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,320
how does the um

556
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,039
how does the land acknowledgement

557
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:20,480
you know how would it be most relevant

558
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,799
and meaningful uh to

559
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:26,400
to recognize in those processes

560
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,149
next slide please

561
00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:32,159
bridging between internal and external

562
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:35,039
engagement um are our cultural heritage

563
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:38,640
month celebrations and so these uh

564
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,480
as you may know these started out as a

565
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,720
small way to raise awareness and

566
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,400
celebrate with staff and they really

567
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,840
have become

568
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,280
pretty popular

569
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600
opportunities to build relationship and

570
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
community connection internally and

571
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,960
externally and in some instances have

572
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,039
led to policy change as we saw with the

573
00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:58,480
juneteenth holiday

574
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,799
and the creation of the asian asian

575
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:02,799
american native hawaiian and pacific

576
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:04,799
islander business council

577
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,240
by washing by the washington county

578
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,840
chamber of commerce

579
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,000
and i just noticed we're missing an age

580
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,559
so we can get that we're an n we're

581
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:13,919
missing a letter there so we can get

582
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:16,080
that corrected um

583
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,280
but these

584
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,120
staff there's some pictures there staff

585
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,200
marching in um pride parade and the

586
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,520
juneteenth celebration and so

587
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,039
there's been a lot of interest and

588
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,200
excitement from staff to participate in

589
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,400
events and a lot of creativity around

590
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,760
you know what are the ways in which we

591
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,480
can celebrate

592
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,230
next slide

593
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,960
and then uh finally our e-update so it

594
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,880
continues to grow with increased

595
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,720
subscribership and it seems to be

596
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,039
well-received um it's a way for us to

597
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:49,200
share engagement opportunities we do

598
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,520
this on a weekly basis and we have been

599
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,039
sharing other information as well

600
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:54,480
sometimes

601
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,360
you know

602
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,679
health alert information covered testing

603
00:22:57,679 --> 00:23:01,200
opportunities or heat advisory stuff so

604
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,720
opportunities to share that information

605
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,280
because we do put it out weekly and it

606
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,039
is intended for cbo's and other

607
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:08,960
community stakeholders

608
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,840
and so we're up to about 620

609
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,720
contacts on that list

610
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,559
and with that i will pass it back to

611
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:21,430
latricia

612
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:29,510
i think you're one more amanda

613
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,720
oh yeah

614
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,280
anchor most exciting

615
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,200
or certainly very exciting i don't want

616
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,240
to say the most exciting but um

617
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,080
so the uh

618
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,080
as you know the advisory council on

619
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,799

if i'm getting my weeks my weeks are

623
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,799
starting to blur together um so this is

624
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:53,679
uh

625
00:23:53,679 --> 00:23:56,159

folks interested in this and of course

630
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,320

the um

632
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,919
one of the components of the equity um

633
00:24:11,919 --> 00:24:13,679

636
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:20,320
group of community participants and the

on behalf of the county so next slide

649
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,390
please

650
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,240
all right so we're going to pivot to

651
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,240
focus on the work related to equity

652
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,080
diversity and inclusion

653
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,480
and then next slide please

654
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,760
so as you know um we've been

655
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,360
continuing to

656
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:08,559
um

657
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:11,440
live into the equity resolution

658
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,559
internally in washington county with the

659
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,480
development of our equity leadership

660
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,480
council committees and you can see the

661
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,679
six that are listed there on the right

662
00:25:21,679 --> 00:25:23,360
there they've been focused on

663
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:26,240
development and implementation of equity

664
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,799
diversity and inclusion strategies

665
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:31,360
standards policies and tools based on

666
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:34,640
best and emerging best practices

667
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,360
next slide

668
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:39,360
they're currently

669
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:42,400
in the late stages of

670
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,960
membership recruitment to fill vacancies

671
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,360
either that have been created because

672
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:50,240
people left the county or change jobs or

673
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,080
have you know work life balance that

674
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,960
they're trying to maintain

675
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,760
they've done quite a bit of work around

676
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,440
um

677
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,520
all the charges within the six

678
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,840
committees um we had a separate

679
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,159
committee focused on limited english

680
00:26:06,159 --> 00:26:08,640
assistance policy implementation that we

681
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200
recently sunseted and moved under the

682
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,679
civil rights compliance committee i'll

683
00:26:13,679 --> 00:26:15,600
talk a little bit more about that in a

684
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,880
minute

685
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,919
um

686
00:26:17,919 --> 00:26:20,080
and then as you know

687
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,640
they developed the budget equity tool

688
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,720
under the leadership of ashley horn our

689
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,320
equity policy manager

690
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,279
work in progress now is

691
00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:34,159
co-creating a legislative equity tool

692
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:36,640
with government relations and

693
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,279
the equity leadership council equity

694
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:41,120
policy committee

695
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,120
and they're hard at work on the

696
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:46,480
bilingual pay policy update this is

697
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,640
something that has been a high priority

698
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,360
for our office since its inception and i

699
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,799
know a priority for many others within

700
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:55,919
the county

701
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:58,720
and we're using equity best practices

702
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,640
and engagement staff engagement

703
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,200
empowerment practices to help inform a

704
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,640
thorough update of that policy

705
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,320
and then um

706
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,440
we will

707
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,080
pivot from that policy

708
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,520
back to

709
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,320
develop uh policy and procedures for our

710
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,120
employee resource groups to get those

711
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,480
launched

712
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:27,029
next slide please

713
00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:28,720
okay so

714
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,520
the

715
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,320
limited english assistance policy was a

716
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,039
policy that you adopted in late 2020

717
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:38,960
and we have been working really hard

718
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,919
with our departmental partners to

719
00:27:41,919 --> 00:27:44,720
understand what currently is happening

720
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,760
in terms of how departments are assuring

721
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,120
interpretation support for our

722
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:53,039
community members with limited english

723
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:55,200
proficiency

724
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,039
but we have also

725
00:27:57,039 --> 00:27:59,600
uh we also built into the budget equity

726
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,840
tool

727
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,120
uh explicit ask for how much we are

728
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:08,080
investing in interpretation translation

729
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,640
and accommodations for people with

730
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,320
disabilities so when we think about

731
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,279
language access or

732
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:17,760
language access support we think about

733
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,600
multiple languages including asl

734
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,720
but also

735
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,640
like large font or braille for people

736
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,120
with disabilities

737
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:28,640
as i mentioned the leap committee

738
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,039
sunsetted and will be moving under our

739
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:32,880
civil rights compliance committee as

740
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,480
this is a pillar of title vi of the

741
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,640
civil rights act

742
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,039
which is focused on client civil rights

743
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:42,880
and

744
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,399
we are continuing to work with

745
00:28:44,399 --> 00:28:46,559
departments to identify their vital

746
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:50,159
documents for proactive translation

747
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:50,960
what

748
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,880
you see on your screen as part of the

749
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,520
work that we're doing countywide we will

750
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,919
be installing large i speak posters with

751
00:28:59,919 --> 00:29:02,720
multiple languages in public facing

752
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,600
lobbies to make it easy for individuals

753
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,039
to identify

754
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:09,760
the language that they speak and

755
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,600
what language they need interpretation

756
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,399
in and to communicate very clearly that

757
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:17,279
interpretation services are free

758
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:18,960
to the public

759
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,679
and then we have also printed an array

760
00:29:21,679 --> 00:29:24,720
of i speak cards and these are like

761
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:25,760
wallet

762
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,120
cards that on one side in english say

763
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,559
the language that they made

764
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:32,799
interpretations supported and on the

765
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:35,440
other side in the person's preferred

766
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,399
language explains that they have a right

767
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:44,389
to competent interpreter free of charge

768
00:29:44,399 --> 00:29:48,000
these will be available for order um

769
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,159
from our

770

for our community partners so we will

771
00:29:52,159 --> 00:29:54,080
make those available to community

772
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,080
partners to distribute to the

773
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,279
communities that they serve who need

774
00:29:59,279 --> 00:30:01,840
language assistance

775
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,240
next slide so we're really excited about

776
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,480
that

777
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,240
next slide i just wanted to close the

778
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,080
loop on the budget equity tool this is

779
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,080
information you've already seen several

780
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,679
times but i wanted to

781
00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:16,480
put it here for posterity and just to

782
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,360
reflect that the budget equity tool was

783
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,440
developed

784
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,120
less than a year ago was piloted briefly

785
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,600
in 2021 and then was

786
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,840
adopted and applied in our budget season

787
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,600
in 2022 with the results

788
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,600
that you see in front of you

789
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,399
codifying our investments that will help

790
00:30:38,399 --> 00:30:43,750
advance washington county towards equity

791
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,750
next slide please

792
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,080
and i tried to connect all the dollar

793
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,440
slides together so um pivoting slightly

794
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,480
um

795
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,799
focusing on an update we've been kind of

796
00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:58,799
making our way through a year of

797
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:00,080
reporting

798
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,960
on

799
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,880
our spending for

800
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,799
um

801
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:08,559
minority women emerging small businesses

802
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:11,440
there's a number of other

803
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,320
designations as well but they all fall

804
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,840
under the cobid

805
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,399
acronym

806
00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:21,120
um which is the certification office for

807
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,399
business inclusion and diversity

808
00:31:24,399 --> 00:31:25,360
um

809
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,559
so as you can see about uh

810
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:30,720
the beginning of

811
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,399
the 21 22 fiscal year

812
00:31:34,399 --> 00:31:37,039
very small spend rate but fast forward

813
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:38,240
to the end

814
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,200
of this fiscal year our total coven

815
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,590
spend was about 3.74

816
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,559
um this is uh based on 36 contracts with

817
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:54,559
currently certified cobit suppliers and

818
00:31:54,559 --> 00:31:56,960
some suppliers go in and out of cobid

819
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,519
certification

820
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:01,919
and so this is based on which suppliers

821
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:04,080
were certified at the time that this

822
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,320
report was put together

823
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,200
next slide please

824
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,240
to break that down a little bit further

825
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,640
you can see all the various designations

826
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,480
that include that are included under

827
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,000
that coven

828
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,640
umbrella so native american lgbt

829
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,240
disabled veteran

830
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,760
veteran

831
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,559
um

832
00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:26,640
dbe which is disadvantaged business

833
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,799
enterprise women business enterprise

834
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:31,840
minority business enterprise etc

835
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,600
and so as of uh july 1st

836
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,240
2021

837
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,840
37 of total vendors registered um were

838
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,260
um

839
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:47,990
[Music]

840
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,120
uh

841
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,799
i don't know what that's connected to i

842
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:52,320
apologize

843
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,600
i'm looking in my notes for that

844
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,399
444 vendors have registered since july

845
00:33:00,399 --> 00:33:03,840
1st 2021. so that's 37 of our total

846
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,799
vendors have registered since july

847
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:10,559
uh 20 or 1 in 5 are certified mwesb

848
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:11,760
suppliers

849
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,799
and

850
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:15,200
uh greater than 50 percent are oregon or

851
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,320
local

852
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,360
uh suppliers and then we are seeing some

853
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,240
registrations from non-profits in the

854
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,440
area

855
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,600
so this chart

856
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,799
kind of points to the need to update our

857
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,720
data systems

858
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,080
because

859
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,840
as i mentioned before

860
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,880
certification and self-identification

861
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,000
are two different things and this is

862
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,720
self-identified entities

863
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,159
self-identified as

864
00:33:44,159 --> 00:33:46,559
minority women emerging small business

865
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:53,190
or other designations

866
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,149
okay

867
00:33:56,159 --> 00:33:57,279
so

868
00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,519
what i want to do in the next slide is

869
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:02,240
pass the mic over to matt craig to talk

870
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,840
a little bit more about our

871
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,120
partnerships and well you'll be hearing

872
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,280
from matt craig our economic development

873
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,599
manager as well as brianna jackson our

874
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,560
learning and development manager

875
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,720
because the work that we do in

876
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:19,119
the offices of equity inclusion and

877
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:20,800
community engagement

878
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,000
really relies on partnerships across the

879
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,159
organization so as we go forward we'll

880
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,000
continue to build in

881
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
updates from our partners within

882
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,839
washington county who can share a little

883
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:35,040
bit about our work and so with that

884
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,839
we'll turn it over to matt craig

890
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,480

oei ice uh update um as your board will

892
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:53,760
recall washington county's economic

893
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,079
development program is closely linked

894
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:59,119
to oei ce's external engagement work uh

895
00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:00,480
in fact we've been looking for more and

896
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,359
more opportunities to sink and align our

897
00:35:03,359 --> 00:35:06,640
efforts in doing so we aim to provide

898
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,640
community partners with clearer and more

899
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,560
transparent ways to connect with the

900

00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,119
making what is important to them

902
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:16,720
important to us

903
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:18,640
and to help to focus investment in

904
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,200
response to community needs so here are

905
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,520
just a few examples on this slide of the

906
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,200
work that oei ce and economic

907
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,760
development are addressing together so

908
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,520
in that first bullet point about

909
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,560

00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,240

variety of community organizations we're

912
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,720
now looking for opportunities to provide

913
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:40,960
sponsorships to local organizations that

914
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,280

971
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,359

partnership that is really essential to

1128
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,920
our partnership with human resources and

1129
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,839

has happened as a result of our

1135
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,280

1136
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,800

unless validated or required for certain

1139
00:44:11,839 --> 00:44:15,200
public safety jobs this practice was

1140
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,839
eliminated because it was determined to

1141
00:44:17,839 --> 00:44:20,079
be a barrier to a large number of

1142
00:44:20,079 --> 00:44:21,520
applicants who dropped out of the

1143
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,560
recruitment process at this step

1144
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,960
and we found that some tests also

1145
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,599
resulted in a disparate impact for

1146
00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:33,839
applicants who were black indigenous

1147
00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:36,400
and latino or latinx

1148
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,560
so really excited

1149
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:39,520
to

1150
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,400
take the time with hr to understand the

1151
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,400
dynamic and the impact of a practice

1152
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,880
that was long-standing within the county

1153
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,119
and to understand its impact

1154
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:53,440
while it seemed neutral

1155
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:54,960
in its practice

1156
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,040
understanding that it had a disparate

1157
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,520
impact

1158
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,839
second we're really excited to be

1159
00:45:01,839 --> 00:45:04,720
contracting with an organization called

1160
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,040
workplace change a culturally

1161
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,920
progressive full service human resources

1162
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,359
consultancy

1163
00:45:11,359 --> 00:45:13,119
they are working with the talent

1164
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:15,599
acquisition team to identify and

1165
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:18,400
implement equitable best practices in

1166
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,359
recruitment hiring and retention of

1167
00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:22,720
people of color

1168
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:24,160
so that's really exciting they're

1169
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,560
engaging on their own assessment and

1170
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,720
change process

1171
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:32,160
and then as i mentioned earlier oeice is

1172
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,720
currently updating our bilingual pay

1173
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,520
policy we're centering the experiences

1174
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,640
of bilingual staff to identify immediate

1175
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,720
and long-term solutions to the

1176
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,880
shortcomings of the existing

1177
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,440
policy which falls short in supporting

1178
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,160
those who are providing language final

1179
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,040
language services to our community

1180
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,480
one update that happened

1181
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,359
in the fall of 2020 is that we the

1182
00:45:59,359 --> 00:46:01,599
talent acquisition team again changed

1183
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:03,359
the bilingual proficiency testing

1184
00:46:03,359 --> 00:46:06,079
company to uh language testing

1185
00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:07,520
international

1186
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,079
due to the disparate impact the past

1187
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:13,119
tests had on native spanish speakers

1188
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:15,839
the switch to lti has proven to be both

1189
00:46:15,839 --> 00:46:18,560
more efficient and a better testing

1190
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,800
process

1191
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,750
next slide please

1192
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,480
we continue to partner with the housing

1193
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,599
department as you know two of our staff

1194
00:46:31,599 --> 00:46:35,280
people within oeice are dedicated 100 of

1195
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,599
the time to support the work of

1196
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:39,839
supportive housing services

1197
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:43,839
and a few highlights of their work is uh

1198
00:46:43,839 --> 00:46:46,720
one that was a three-day event in april

1199
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:49,839
um that was a housing access fair that

1200
00:46:49,839 --> 00:46:53,440
had approximately 160 attendees the goal

1201
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,599
of that fair was to remove barriers that

1202
00:46:55,599 --> 00:46:57,359
homeless people faced when trying to

1203
00:46:57,359 --> 00:46:59,040
access housing

1204
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,960
they provided language support and

1205
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,880
accommodations for individuals with

1206
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,599
disabilities and as a result all of the

1207
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:08,319
available housing slots were filled

1208
00:47:08,319 --> 00:47:12,000
and um there were additional supports

1209
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,839
such as meals being provided and

1210
00:47:13,839 --> 00:47:16,319
clothing items such as shoes being

1211
00:47:16,319 --> 00:47:18,960
purchased in support of our houseless

1212
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,559
neighbors

1213
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:21,440
um

1214
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,119
there was also

1215
00:47:23,119 --> 00:47:25,920
some shelter fighting engagements in

1216
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,760
partnership with hillsborough and

1217
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,440
beaverton again

1218
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,599
working across our jurisdictions to

1219
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:35,040
build equity into our housing decisions

1220
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,119
as it relates to siting and you all

1221
00:47:37,119 --> 00:47:39,200
received an update about our equitable

1222
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,119
sighting policy

1223
00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:42,960
and then lastly

1224
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,599
through a partnership with sunrise

1225
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:47,920
church which was established as a hub

1226
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,240
for community donations there's a

1227
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:52,319
partnership now with faith-based

1228
00:47:52,319 --> 00:47:55,680
communities launching a donation drive

1229
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,760
in support of future supportive housing

1230
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,000
services placement

1231
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,119
and so far 54 welcome home kids have

1232
00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:04,079
been

1233
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:06,960
provided for the alola inn which is

1234
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,640
opening in this fall or winter

1235
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,599
next slide please

1236
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:16,000
this is my final slide

1237
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,800
as i mentioned our equity work is about

1238
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,359
outcomes and so we need

1239
00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:24,559
data to understand uh where we have gaps

1240
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:26,400
in our outcomes and

1241
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,119
in order to have data

1242
00:48:29,119 --> 00:48:30,960
to understand our gaps we need data

1243
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,200
systems and infrastructure as well as

1244
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,520
supportive policies that support the

1245
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,079
standardized collection and analysis

1246
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:40,880
particularly of demographic data

1247
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,680
so our equity leadership

1248
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,160
committee equity leadership council

1249
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,800
equity data committee has

1250
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,960
conducted an initial analysis of

1251
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,359
washington county's data infrastructure

1252
00:48:53,359 --> 00:48:54,720
and systems

1253
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,119
and found gaps in inconsistencies as

1254
00:48:57,119 --> 00:48:59,440
well as areas needing improvement in the

1255
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,240
types of demographic data collected how

1256
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,400
it's collected whether it's shareable

1257
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,359
etc as an example

1258
00:49:07,359 --> 00:49:10,079
some data systems collect hispanic

1259
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:13,359
latino as a race and some data systems

1260
00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:16,000
collect hispanic latito as an ethnicity

1261
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,559
separate from race and that makes it

1262
00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:20,800
challenging to do any kind of cross

1263
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,880
comparison between those data systems

1264
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,200
so the equity data committee identified

1265
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,599
a need for a more comprehensive analysis

1266
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:32,000
and the office of equity inclusion and

1267
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,720
community engagement has been working

1268
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:36,000
with

1269
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,880
our arpa team to design a county-wide

1270
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,359
equity data assessment

1271
00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:42,800
and

1272
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,440
we launched that rfp in may

1273
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,280
and received five uh successful

1274
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,359
proposals uh in june and we have since

1275
00:49:53,359 --> 00:49:54,960
reviewed those proposals and have

1276
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,319
identified

1277
00:49:56,319 --> 00:49:59,040
um the opportunity to move forward

1278
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,559
um with interviews with proposers before

1279
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:04,880
we move into the final contractor

1280
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,680
selection but we anticipate that that

1281
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,359
will

1282
00:50:09,359 --> 00:50:11,200
help to launch a very thorough

1283
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,359
comprehensive

1284
00:50:13,359 --> 00:50:15,520
equity data assessment which will put us

1285
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,640
on a road to being able to develop our

1286
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,160
ability to collect and report out equity

1287
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,359
data

1288
00:50:23,359 --> 00:50:25,839
in addition to that equity data

1289
00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:28,640
assessment through our our funding we

1290
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:29,680
will be

1291
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,880
hiring a civil rights compliance trainer

1292
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,359
that person will be training

1293
00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:37,599
organizations who are receiving federal

1294
00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:40,559
opera dollars in their responsibility

1295
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:41,359
for

1296
00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:42,880
compliance with

1297
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,040
civil rights both employee civil rights

1298
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,960
as well as clients civil rights and

1299
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,800
we'll also be training our contract

1300
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,640
managers so that they can help

1301
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,760
coach our funded organizations as needed

1302
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,079
to come into compliance

1303
00:50:58,079 --> 00:50:59,440
and we're also

1304
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,200
um building out an equity coach kind of

1305
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,119
position to help

1306
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:08,079
our funded projects think about how to

1307
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:10,800
more robustly build equity into their

1308
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,160
projects and then as amanda mentioned

1309
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,079
during her section and back to my

1310
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:18,480
comment about what fits in our equity

1311
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,559
benefit and what fits in our community

1312
00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:23,440
engagement bucket and we are using our

1313
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,520
arpa dollars to support the

1314
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,440
multi-jurisdictional community

1315
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,240
engagement project so it all comes full

1316
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:31,359
circle

1317
00:51:31,359 --> 00:51:32,160
um

1318
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,000
in the connection between equity

1319
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,160
diversity and inclusion work and our

1320
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,720
community engagement work

1321
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:39,520
so

1322
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,400
um as we transition to the next slide i

1323
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,960
just want to again thank the board for

1324
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,079

in particularly matt craig's area

1348
00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:58,160
my work on wsi we're always looking to

1349
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,280
see

1350
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,720
if we can't engage communities

1351
00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:04,720
just don't have access to the services

1352
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:07,440
so i i like that matt a bunch i'm

1353
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,119
talking tonya but i see you know and i

1354
00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:10,319
agree

1355
00:53:10,319 --> 00:53:11,920
the body of work is pretty stunning what

1356
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,280
we've done

1357
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:14,640
so i

1358
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,319
that that's all interesting

1359
00:53:16,319 --> 00:53:18,480
one of the questions i have to be kind

1360
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,880
of the grinch of it uh and i did that

1361
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,200
early on so this isn't anything new is

1362
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,480
what was this going to cost and

1363
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,109
originally

1364
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:28,640
we all supported the work i still

1365
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:29,920
support the work

1366
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,319
uh but i always like to wrap i think

1367
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:33,680
it's an occupational hazard being an

1368
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,440
accountant like to wrap my head around

1369
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,760
costs so i know what what's going on

1370
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,280
i've heard of a couple new positions

1371
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,480
tonight i've heard

1372
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,040
several new contracts

1373
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,119
originally we were going to have

1374
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:46,319
one

1375
00:53:46,319 --> 00:53:47,520
person

1376
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:48,800
at the board

1377
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,559
a majority vote said no we're going to

1378
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:52,319
have five that was great we are where

1379
00:53:52,319 --> 00:53:53,280
we're at

1380
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,200
and i certainly can't take exception to

1381
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,559
any of the great work that's been done

1382
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:57,520
but

1383
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,920
i'm trying to understand what this is

1384
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,800
all costing including benefits so that

1385
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,559
i get asked that if you can't imagine

1386
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:05,760
the number of times in the community

1387
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,079
what what is the program costing

1388
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:10,160
and so nobody else may need to know but

1389
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:11,920
i have an information need

1390
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,240
as a chair i like what she says that all

1391
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:15,760
the time she said she has an information

1392
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,440
need i have one

1393
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,359
that i would like to be able to take out

1394
00:54:19,359 --> 00:54:21,599
to groups and say this is what our cost

1395
00:54:21,599 --> 00:54:23,680
is and this is a benefit so

1396
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:24,880
anyway that's

1397
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,760
my point i compliment you tanya it

1398
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,520
always comes from the top

1399
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,040
people don't think that but it's true

1400
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,880
the tone's at the top and

1401
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,000
you've been able to accomplish this

1402
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,319
through folks and so i i congratulate

1403
00:54:36,319 --> 00:54:39,750
you on that

1404
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,480
thank you commissioner rogers and so um

1405
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,319
we can provide that in a written update

1406
00:54:44,319 --> 00:54:45,920
because i do think that question has

1407
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:46,720
been

1408
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:48,720
raised as far as what does this cost

1409
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:51,280
through this budget process and so for

1410
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,440
example ms tillman had referred to

1411
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,520
the two positions

1412
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,200
that were supporting

1413
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,680
shs which is our supportive housing

1414
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,400
services program those positions are

1415
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,559
funded by the supportive housing

1416
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:09,280
services measure so as we think about

1417
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,319
equity at washington county it is about

1418
00:55:12,319 --> 00:55:14,880
embedding equity practice in each of our

1419
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,119
departments and so

1420
00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:19,599
i would think of this as a

1421
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:22,400
centralized but decentralized effort and

1422
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,400
that is in service to all of our

1423
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,960
community members

1424
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,520
as we move forward so let me work with

1425
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,000
ms tillman and providing that in writing

1426
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,920
because this is a reoccurring question

1427
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,359
that comes up

1428
00:55:35,359 --> 00:55:37,280
it came up through the budget process

1429
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,760
and we can provide that clarity of how

1430
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,400
we're structuring our work

1431
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:43,119
and

1432
00:55:43,119 --> 00:55:45,760
ms tillman had referred to

1433
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,280
some of the costs and some of the

1434
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,280
outcomes and we can make sure that we do

1435
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,000
include that into kind of a dashboard

1436
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,680
report to your board and also the

1437
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,760
community as we move forward because we

1438
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,359
know our community and our community

1439
00:55:57,359 --> 00:55:59,520
partners are also

1440
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:06,710
interested in this work

1441
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:08,799
any other commissioner questions or

1442
00:56:08,799 --> 00:56:16,710
comments

1443
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:19,119
seeing none i'll finish up i want to

1444
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:22,319
thank you as always for

1445
00:56:22,319 --> 00:56:24,799
these quarterly updates

1446
00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:27,760
uh it helps us be mindful

1447
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,920
of how we are doing a better job of

1448
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,799
serving our community and addressing

1449
00:56:34,799 --> 00:56:36,240
their needs

1450
00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:38,480
and it also

1451
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,760
helps us take stock and recognize our

1452
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,440
progress on this journey so thank you so

1453
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,480

1454
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,200

1455
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,160
cool this evening in ways that i'm not

1456
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,559

while in the pacific northwest

1461
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,680

and given the number of individuals that

1467
00:57:21,359 --> 00:57:23,440
are on the attendee list it may be

1468
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,359
beneficial to spread that word at this

1469
00:57:25,359 --> 00:57:27,599
time if the board is okay with an agenda

1470
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:28,640
change

00:59:20,559 --> 00:59:22,400
so now we're transitioning into

1517
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,319
overnight shelters and this is really

1518
00:59:24,319 --> 00:59:26,000
timely information

1519
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,920

1527
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,319
these shelters will provide relief from

1528
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:48,799
extreme heat and access to air

1529

locations are available during this

1561
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,920
event but that we are looking at our

1562
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,480
year-round inclement weather events and

1563
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,400

general community message from our

1568
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,799

1570
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,440
that we do a neighbor check-in with one

1571
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,760

anyone who might have a health condition

1573
01:01:33,839 --> 01:01:35,680
that could put them at a higher risk for

1574
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,760
heat-related illness

1575
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,520

um first of all i should mention that

1642
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,359
the board directed engross meant at the

1643
01:04:05,359 --> 01:04:07,200
hearing on march 1st so it's been about

1644
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:08,880
five months since we talked about this

1645
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,319
ordinance and so we're going to start

1646
01:04:10,319 --> 01:04:12,720
with a review of the tile flat extension

1647
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,119
planning we will then review public

1648
01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:16,240
outreach and some of the recent

1649
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:17,680
community comments that we've heard

1650
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,680
through some engagement and then we'll

1651
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,839
be reviewing prior public hearings and

1652
01:04:21,839 --> 01:04:23,920
the engrossment amendments before we get

1653
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,960
to our staff recommendation at the end

1654
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,789
next slide please

1655
01:04:30,799 --> 01:04:32,799
the tile flat road extension was

1656
01:04:32,799 --> 01:04:34,559
initially identified as a part of the

1657
01:04:34,559 --> 01:04:36,319
planning work that the city of beaverton

1658
01:04:36,319 --> 01:04:38,400
conducted for cooper mountain they were

1659
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,319
specifically evaluating the south cooper

1660
01:04:40,319 --> 01:04:41,920
mountain area as a part of it coming

1661
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,440
into the urban growth boundary but they

1662
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,680
expanded their planning to include

1663
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,359
middle north cooper and some of the

1664
01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:49,680
adjacent areas so you can see in the

1665
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,440
graphic shown which is from beaverton's

1666
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,680
planning documents this extension down

1667
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,880
in the the southern part of that map

1668
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,880
shortly after beaverton completed that

1669
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,799
planning effort washington county

1670
01:05:00,799 --> 01:05:02,640
conducted the transportation future

1671
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,880
study which was an opportunity to take a

1672
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,039
very long-range 50-year look at our

1673
01:05:07,039 --> 01:05:09,359
transportation system and as a part of

1674
01:05:09,359 --> 01:05:11,520
that work we engaged extensively with a

1675
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,680
number of residents who live on cooper

1676
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,160
mountain part of the save 175th

1677
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,079
neighborhood group and those neighbors

1678
01:05:18,079 --> 01:05:20,720
brought up the need for an all-weather

1679
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,559
redundant network around the cooper

1680
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:24,880
mountain area that they call the around

1681
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,960
the mountain solution and they had

1682
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,480
identified through their own work the

1683
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,119
need for the tile flat road extension as

1684
01:05:31,119 --> 01:05:32,799
well as the cornelius pass road

1685
01:05:32,799 --> 01:05:34,799
extension which you'll be reviewing in

1686
01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:38,160
ordinance 883 at an october hearing

1687
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,119
so as a result of that community's

1688
01:05:41,119 --> 01:05:43,760
involvement the board added to the long

1689
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,680
range planning work program the cooper

1690
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,920
mountain transportation study and that

1691
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,839
was an opportunity for us to do a

1692
01:05:49,839 --> 01:05:52,000
detailed technical analysis of

1693
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,079
transportation solutions for the cooper

1694
01:05:54,079 --> 01:05:55,760
mountain area

1695
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,599
we then moved into the urban reserves

1696
01:05:57,599 --> 01:05:59,599
transportation study which took a

1697
01:05:59,599 --> 01:06:01,920
broader look at the growth that we

1698
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,440
expect to happen within our urban

1699
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,520
reserves areas over about the next 40

1700
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,760
years and our transportation system

1701
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,799
needs that will result from that

1702
01:06:10,799 --> 01:06:13,039
the tile flat road extension has since

1703
01:06:13,039 --> 01:06:15,839
been included in the river terrace 2.0

1704
01:06:15,839 --> 01:06:18,160
plan that the city of tiger prepared as

1705
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,200
a part of requesting metro to add

1706
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,359
the river terrace 2.0 area to the urban

1707
01:06:23,359 --> 01:06:25,760
growth boundary and it is referenced in

1708
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,400
ordinance number 879 the tigard urban

1709
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,039
planning area agreement

1710
01:06:31,039 --> 01:06:35,190
next slide

1711
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,280
the proposed transportation system plan

1712
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,280
amendment before you would extend tile

1713
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,920
flat road as a collector facility south

1714
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,240
from shulls ferry road from its existing

1715
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,720
intersection with tile flat road to with

1716
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,799
the intersection of roy rogers road and

1717
01:06:48,799 --> 01:06:50,319
bull mountain road

1718
01:06:50,319 --> 01:06:51,760
it would also add what's called a

1719
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,000
refinement area south of bull mountain

1720
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,240
road to the intersection of roy rogers

1721
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:57,839
and beef bend road

1722
01:06:57,839 --> 01:07:00,160
the purpose of a refinement area is that

1723
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:01,920
we have an identified transportation

1724
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,920
system need but there are some unique

1725
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,000
constraints in the area and some

1726
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,920
planning work being done by tigard in

1727
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,599
king city over on the east side of the

1728
01:07:09,599 --> 01:07:12,079
road that needs to be advanced further

1729
01:07:12,079 --> 01:07:14,400
before we're ready to officially draw a

1730
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,240
line on the map and so that's why we

1731
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,720
have both an alignment for a part of

1732
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,440
this area and then a refinement area for

1733
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,119
another part of it

1734
01:07:23,119 --> 01:07:25,119
this is envisioned as a very long range

1735
01:07:25,119 --> 01:07:26,240
improvement

1736
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:27,440
and quite frankly this is one of the

1737
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,359
hardest things we do as transportation

1738
01:07:29,359 --> 01:07:31,839
planners is try to take a 20-year look

1739
01:07:31,839 --> 01:07:34,160
at what our system needs and why we need

1740
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,160
that it's based on growth projections

1741
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,559
and it's based on compliance with state

1742
01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:40,640
rules and laws guiding how we do

1743
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,119
long-range transportation planning so we

1744
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:44,640
don't envision that we will have funding

1745
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,720
for this improvement in the near future

1746
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,280
but adding it to our plan provides

1747
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,200
certainty and transparency to the

1748
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,520
community and it informs other planning

1749
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,520
efforts that will be conducted over the

1750
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,440
next 20 years

1751
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,520
it is unlikely that this facility would

1752
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,359
be built before the areas broadened the

1753
01:08:01,359 --> 01:08:03,039
urban growth boundary and i want to

1754
01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:04,480
explain that a little bit because it's

1755
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,760
important and the next slide we'll talk

1756
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,200
a little bit more about the urban growth

1757
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,319
boundary potential expansion the reason

1758
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:11,920
we think it's unlikely to be built has

1759
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,760
to do with transportation funding we

1760
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,599
have a number of existing needs already

1761
01:08:15,599 --> 01:08:17,520
identified in our transportation system

1762
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,120
that have been in line for a really long

1763
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,520
time so it's somewhat unlikely that

1764
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,400
there will be funding available for this

1765
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,000
before it comes into the urban growth

1766
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,159
boundary i think all of us expect that

1767
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:29,679
this will come into the urban growth

1768
01:08:29,679 --> 01:08:31,920
boundary within probably our 20-year

1769
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,960
planning horizon if not sooner than that

1770
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:36,560
um

1771
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,960
so while we could build it once the line

1772
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,960
is drawn on the map it's unlikely that

1773
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:42,880
funding will be identified the other

1774
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,640
benefit of waiting until the land is

1775
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,400
brought into the urban growth boundary

1776
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:48,000
is that portions of the road could then

1777
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,600
be built by development or through

1778
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,040
development and it would not be an

1779
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,199
entirely publicly funded improvement at

1780
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:55,679
that time so this last point really has

1781
01:08:55,679 --> 01:08:57,199
to do with transportation funding and

1782
01:08:57,199 --> 01:08:59,199
the availability of it for this

1783
01:08:59,199 --> 01:09:01,279
particular project

1784
01:09:01,279 --> 01:09:04,470
next slide

1785
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:05,920
now this slide talks about that

1786
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:07,440
potential urban growth boundary

1787
01:09:07,440 --> 01:09:08,719
expansion

1788
01:09:08,719 --> 01:09:10,640
what you see in this graphic on the

1789
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,679
slide is an identification of the types

1790
01:09:13,679 --> 01:09:15,600
of rural land that we have in washington

1791
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,080
county we have rural land designated as

1792
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,440
urban reserve

1793
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:22,319
rural land designated as rural reserve

1794
01:09:22,319 --> 01:09:24,880
and then rural land that has no reserve

1795
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,159
designation

1796
01:09:26,159 --> 01:09:27,839
so when we talk about urban growth

1797
01:09:27,839 --> 01:09:30,400
boundary expansions in washington county

1798
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,799
land that is blue is eligible to be

1799
01:09:32,799 --> 01:09:35,199
added to the urban growth foundry once a

1800
01:09:35,199 --> 01:09:36,880
city prepares a concept plan and

1801
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,880
requests portland metro to add it to the

1802
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,799
urban growth boundary then portland

1803
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:42,799
metro goes through the process of making

1804
01:09:42,799 --> 01:09:44,640
the decision to expand the urban growth

1805
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,960
boundary it's not a decision that can be

1806
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,960
made by washington county were somewhat

1807
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,640
reactionary when it comes to urban

1808
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,799
growth boundary expansions because the

1809
01:09:52,799 --> 01:09:54,640
county board is not the decision maker

1810
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:56,000
on this

1811
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,040
additionally the land that is rural no

1812
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,159
reserve

1813
01:10:00,159 --> 01:10:01,600
can be added to the urban growth

1814
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:02,560
boundary

1815
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,520
at some point in the future

1816
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:08,000
175 of our original reserves have been

1817
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,080
added to the urban growth boundary we're

1818
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,239
only at about 40 right now a little bit

1819
01:10:12,239 --> 01:10:14,080
under 40 percent so we still have a ways

1820
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,120
to go before these rural no reserve or

1821
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,880
undesignated areas can be included

1822
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,320
so in 2021 the city of tigard requested

1823
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,040
metro to add the urban reserve area

1824
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,440
identified in blue on this map to our

1825
01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:31,920
regional urban growth boundary

1826
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:33,760
metro's chief operating officer

1827
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,159
recommended to metro council that the

1828
01:10:36,159 --> 01:10:38,880
expansion take place not through a

1829
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,280
regular urban growth boundary expansion

1830
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,760
but through a land exchange process

1831
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,360
which is not a process that the portland

1832
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:46,800
metro area

1833
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,800
has done previously but is allowed

1834
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,120
through state statute

1835
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:52,800
metro council has not yet made that

1836
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,880
decision we believe they will make that

1837
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:56,320
decision later this year or consider

1838
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,080
making it later this year but we don't

1839
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,400
have a definitive timeline

1840
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:01,920
it's important to note that our planning

1841
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,840
work and identification of the need for

1842
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,640
this collector facility happened before

1843
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,159
the urban growth boundary expansion

1844
01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:10,560
request was made it's somewhat difficult

1845
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,000
at this point to have a conversation

1846
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,440
with the community explaining that

1847
01:11:13,440 --> 01:11:15,040
because a lot of the community concerns

1848
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:16,560
we're hearing have more to do with the

1849
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,719
urban growth boundary expansion which is

1850
01:11:18,719 --> 01:11:20,960
again a different decision-making

1851
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,400
process happening at the same time

1852
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:28,310
next slide please

1853
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,640
so this slide summarizes the public

1854
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,880
outreach that we have done as

1855
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,719
a part of all of these various planning

1856
01:11:34,719 --> 01:11:36,960
studies and the staff reports prepared

1857
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:38,239
for the planning commission and the

1858
01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:39,920
previous board hearings had detailed

1859
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:42,080
explanations of some of the engagement

1860
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,000
that we had done as a part of this so

1861
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,440
through all these planning studies the

1862
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:47,360
south carolina mountain planning effort

1863
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,360
river terrace and river terrace 2.0

1864
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,360
planning with the city of tigard as well

1865
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:52,560
as our own cooper mountain

1866
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,719
transportation study and urban reserve

1867
01:11:54,719 --> 01:11:57,040
transportation study we had engagement

1868
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:58,480
with community members living in this

1869
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:00,239
area as well as through our

1870
01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:03,600
organizations such as our cpos and the

1871
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,400
beaverton neighborhood associations

1872
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,560
as a part of filing the ordinance we

1873
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,719
went through our statutory required

1874
01:12:10,719 --> 01:12:12,719
notification process

1875
01:12:12,719 --> 01:12:15,120
additionally we provided supplemental

1876
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,520
notification to potentially affected

1877
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,679
property owners and offered virtual

1878
01:12:19,679 --> 01:12:21,600
question and answer sessions

1879
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,040
the first of those took place in the

1880
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:24,560
fall shortly after we had filed the

1881
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:26,960
ordinance the second one took place just

1882
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,360
a few weeks ago and as a part of that

1883
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,719
second

1884
01:12:30,719 --> 01:12:34,000
q a session we expanded the number of

1885
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,199
property owners who we mailed the

1886
01:12:35,199 --> 01:12:36,719
notification to

1887
01:12:36,719 --> 01:12:39,360
we expanded it into the rural reserve

1888
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,920
area to property owners who take access

1889
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:43,440
off of some of the rural roads that

1890
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:45,520
could potentially have a future

1891
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,440
intersection with the tile flat road

1892
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:50,080
extension while the rural reserve area

1893
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:51,600
itself will not be brought into the

1894
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,440
urban growth boundary or directly

1895
01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:56,239
impacted by this road alignment given

1896
01:12:56,239 --> 01:12:58,000
their proximity to it we thought it made

1897
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,080
sense to invite them to that

1898
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,520
so we had about 16 community members

1899
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,040
join us for that second listening

1900
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,600
session i should say we had 16 unique

1901
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,520
logins in zoom it's hard to say how many

1902
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:10,960
people were actually there for that

1903
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:11,840
meeting

1904
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:13,840
and we had a very good conversation a

1905
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,280
lot of the points that were brought up

1906
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,600
at that meeting echoed the concerns that

1907
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,840
we had heard at the previous hearings as

1908
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,080
well as through outreach that we've done

1909
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,159
for this ordinance through time

1910
01:13:24,159 --> 01:13:26,880
those can be summarized as concerns over

1911
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,280
the environmental impact of the new road

1912
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,440
our determination of the fact that we

1913
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:33,679
need the road for connectivity questions

1914
01:13:33,679 --> 01:13:35,760
about the technical analysis that led us

1915
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,520
to determine that

1916
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,760
questions about the timing and the

1917
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,360
funding that would be available for this

1918
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,040
road and when they can expect to see it

1919
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,159
done

1920
01:13:44,159 --> 01:13:46,320
questions about the process of taking an

1921
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,480
exception to statewide rules and why

1922
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:49,920
it's allowed in these unique

1923
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,320
circumstances in urban reserve and rural

1924
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,239
undesignated areas

1925
01:13:54,239 --> 01:13:56,400
and then finally we probably heard the

1926
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,320
most questions about the process of

1927
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,080
adding this area to the urban growth

1928
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,120
boundary

1929
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:02,800
fortunately for that listening session

1930
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,719
we were joined by one of metro's

1931
01:14:04,719 --> 01:14:07,199
principal planners and so he was able to

1932
01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:09,520
speak for metro and explain more about

1933
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,440
the technical process that metro will be

1934
01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:13,440
going through as a part of evaluating

1935
01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:14,880
this land swap

1936
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:16,480
so that was really the bulk of the

1937
01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:19,520
feedback that we heard at that meeting

1938
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:23,030
next slide please

1939
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,199
this slide reviews your prior actions

1940
01:14:25,199 --> 01:14:26,640
the planning commission held their

1941
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,760
hearing on december 15th of 2021

1942
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,600
the board held their first hearing on

1943
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,600
january 18th and then continued

1944
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,000
deliberations to march first

1945
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,400
at the march first hearing your board

1946
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,880
directed staff to engross the ordinance

1947
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,679
based on interpretation of case law that

1948
01:14:43,679 --> 01:14:46,000
arose after we had filed the original

1949
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,280
ordinance

1950
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,000
when we filed the original ordinance we

1951
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,239
simply added the line to the map in our

1952
01:14:52,239 --> 01:14:54,480
transportation system plan

1953
01:14:54,480 --> 01:14:56,880
based on our review of case law we

1954
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,600
determined that we also needed to add

1955
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,120
some text references within our

1956
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,600
transportation system plan referring to

1957
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,600
why we added that to the map

1958
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,080
so our engrossment adds a specific text

1959
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,320
reference describing what we're seeing

1960
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:11,440
in the map

1961
01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:13,440
it also adds a strategy to our

1962
01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:16,159
connectivity goal which describes how

1963
01:15:16,159 --> 01:15:18,320
adding this collector facility to our

1964
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,320
transportation system plan helps us to

1965
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,560
meet our connectivity goal

1966
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,880
and finally we adopted the we are

1967
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,679
recommending the engrossment include the

1968
01:15:27,679 --> 01:15:30,159
exceptions technical analysis as a

1969
01:15:30,159 --> 01:15:32,400
technical appendix to our transportation

1970
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:33,760
system plan

1971
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,000
that is not new information that arose

1972
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,320
since then that information was included

1973
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,320
along with our original staff report

1974
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,640
we're simply elevating it to become a

1975
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,960
part of our transportation system plan

1976
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,120
through this engrossment

1977
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,790
next slide please

1978
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,640
and i went through the engrossment

1979
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,600
changes now um so again we do think that

1980
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:56,800
these

1981
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,760
respond effectively to case law and are

1982
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:01,440
what we need to do in order to be

1983
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:03,280
consistent with state rules and with

1984
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,120
that case law precedent

1985
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,149
next slide

1986
01:16:08,159 --> 01:16:10,080
so our staff recommendation tonight is

1987
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,320
to conduct the public hearing and then

1988
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,719
as a part of the rules with engrossed

1989
01:16:14,719 --> 01:16:16,560
land use ordinances the board is

1990
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:17,840
required to hold two engrossment

1991
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,520
hearings so this is the first of those

1992
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,159
it's our evening hearing next week we

1993
01:16:22,159 --> 01:16:24,560
will have the august 2nd day meeting and

1994
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,239
at that time the board will have the

1995
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:29,040
opportunity to adopt the ordinance

1996
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:34,149
and i think that is our last slide

1997
01:16:34,159 --> 01:16:36,709
thank you

1998
01:16:36,719 --> 01:16:39,280
commissioners do you have any questions

1999
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:41,679
on this staff report

2000
01:16:41,679 --> 01:16:47,030
at this time

2001
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,199
commissioner 5 that includes you you're

2002
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:55,350
off camera so no questions at this time

2003
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:59,669
okay i have a question though

2004
01:16:59,679 --> 01:17:01,679
didn't want to step in front of any of

2005
01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:03,199
my colleagues

2006
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:06,000
i'm confused about one thing if we could

2007
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,760
go back to slide eight please

2008
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,840
so

2009
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,390
this

2010
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,560
summary no no

2011
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:17,840
so this

2012
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,440
thank you for

2013
01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:22,400
summarizing in general the

2014
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,800
engrossment changes

2015
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,800
um

2016
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,960
what i struggle with

2017
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,880
is

2018
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,400
that and i let me start with i did not

2019
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,159
re-review the presentation from

2020
01:17:38,159 --> 01:17:39,520
uh when

2021
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,760
we did the engrossment five months ago

2022
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,600
i didn't do that at all

2023
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,320
so i may just not remember something

2024
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,320
uh

2025
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:58,470
back on slide four if i could

2026
01:17:58,480 --> 01:18:00,560
i remembered

2027
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:01,840
you know the

2028
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,120
the

2029
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,760
slide you know really focusing on the

2030
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,920
tile flat road

2031
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,709
uh

2032
01:18:10,719 --> 01:18:12,800
thank you this is the slide i was hoping

2033
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:13,679
for

2034
01:18:13,679 --> 01:18:14,560
um

2035
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:18,159
my problem is this bullet about adding a

2036
01:18:18,159 --> 01:18:21,510
refinement area

2037
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,080
south of bull mountain oh

2038
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:25,600
oh

2039
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:26,400
right

2040
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:30,080
never mind i do this all the time

2041
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,840
i

2042
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,199
uh confuse beef bend road with bull

2043
01:18:35,199 --> 01:18:36,640
mountain road

2044
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:40,000
and earlier i was thinking bull mountain

2045
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,320
even though i was seeing the label beef

2046
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:43,199
bun

2047
01:18:43,199 --> 01:18:46,719
beef ben like why are we taking

2048
01:18:46,719 --> 01:18:47,600
this

2049
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:51,600
whole big refinement area when the road

2050
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:52,640
uh

2051
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,760
general road alignment is way up there

2052
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,679
you are not the only person who confuses

2053
01:18:57,679 --> 01:18:59,679
those two roads

2054
01:18:59,679 --> 01:19:00,800
thank you

2055
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:01,520
i

2056
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:03,520
answered my own question i'm sorry i

2057
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:07,510
took up everyone's time

2058
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:08,880
all righty

2059
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,199
seeing no further questions from

2060
01:19:11,199 --> 01:19:13,600
commissioners including myself

2061
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,960
i'd like to open a public hearing and

2062
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,280
this is where i need to turn to our

2063
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:20,560
board clerk

2064
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:21,679
and see

2065
01:19:21,679 --> 01:19:24,719

for all your time from everybody

2076
01:19:47,199 --> 01:19:50,880
my name is andy haugen i'm also the cpo

2077
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:52,159
10 chair

2078
01:19:52,159 --> 01:19:54,400
uh and i just am kind of representing a

2079
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,560
lot of people that live in the area as

2080
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:00,080
well as uh myself that have a few

2081
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:01,199
comments

2082
01:20:01,199 --> 01:20:02,239
um

2083
01:20:02,239 --> 01:20:05,600
i i sent written testimony in earlier so

2084
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,120
maybe you had a chance to review that

2085
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:08,480
already but i'm just going to kind of

2086
01:20:08,480 --> 01:20:10,000
highlight a few of the main points that

2087
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:11,679
i also submitted by

2088
01:20:11,679 --> 01:20:15,120
written testimony um i believe this

2089
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:16,880
ordinance is not a great idea for

2090
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:18,480
washington county because i think it

2091
01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:20,880
creates more issues than it resolves by

2092
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,880
seeking statewide land use planning

2093
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,120
exemptions in rural and forest lands it

2094
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:27,360
promotes a dangerous precedent

2095
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,199
to land use laws which are in place for

2096
01:20:29,199 --> 01:20:32,239
a variety of reasons if adopted soon

2097
01:20:32,239 --> 01:20:34,560
more exemptions and rezoning will follow

2098
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:37,199
until the land use laws and regulations

2099
01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:39,120
could be rendered useless

2100
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,159
uh i was looking in the ec report for

2101
01:20:42,159 --> 01:20:43,920
the board of commissioner staff report

2102
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,600
and attachment a for all three possible

2103
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:49,679
routes of a b and c for the proposed

2104
01:20:49,679 --> 01:20:50,960
extension

2105
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:51,920
um

2106
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,239
where almost all the categories for

2107
01:20:54,239 --> 01:20:56,239
economic social environmental and energy

2108
01:20:56,239 --> 01:20:59,280
were slightly negative or neutral

2109
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,760
when not a lot of positive aspects for

2110
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:02,880
that

2111
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,800
this alone would show the road would

2112
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,960
have very positive little positive

2113
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:08,880
impact

2114
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:10,719
many citizens of washington county do

2115
01:21:10,719 --> 01:21:12,880
not want this extension

2116
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:14,800
not one person that gave testimony at

2117
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,120
the planning commission was in favor of

2118
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,520
it and that also originally failed back

2119
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:20,960
in december

2120
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:22,880
and there's no transit opportunities

2121
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,280
it's expensive

2122
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:26,880
it doesn't correlate i believe what the

2123
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:28,639
county climate goals

2124
01:21:28,639 --> 01:21:31,120
and more desired improvements were on

2125
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,199
tile flat road that were rejected last

2126
01:21:33,199 --> 01:21:35,600
year by the beard and city council

2127
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,760
and i don't i think roads that already

2128
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,760
exist should be improved upon rather

2129
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:44,229
than adding new roads thank you

2130
01:21:44,239 --> 01:21:46,639
thank you next is tanya

2131
01:21:46,639 --> 01:21:49,430
steele

2132
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:52,239
tanya can you please on you

2133
01:21:52,239 --> 01:21:54,840
yes hello good evening can you hear me

2134
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,480
yes hello good evening uh it's very nice

2135
01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:00,080
to meet all of you

2136
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,080
this is my first um

2137
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,000
chance to attend one of these i

2138
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,199
unfortunately did not receive

2139
01:22:05,199 --> 01:22:07,120
notification of some of the earlier

2140
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:08,159
meetings

2141
01:22:08,159 --> 01:22:11,199
the july 13th or the october 25th

2142
01:22:11,199 --> 01:22:12,560
meetings um

2143
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,080
i'm the owner of lone owl farm at 18 900

2144
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,239
southwest schultz ferry road

2145
01:22:18,239 --> 01:22:21,280
my property is the 26 acres that tile

2146
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:22,880
flat road would

2147
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,560
bisect in order to connect

2148
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:27,600
um

2149
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,880
when we purchased this farm in 2011 it

2150
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,840
showed on the map as rural reserve

2151
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:36,400
a few years ago it suddenly with no

2152
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,560
notification to me

2153
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:40,639
uh showed up as undesignated which in

2154
01:22:40,639 --> 01:22:42,719
the newest document now says rural no

2155
01:22:42,719 --> 01:22:44,000
reserve

2156
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,800
very recently a dedicated turn lane and

2157
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,280
a turn signal into my property has also

2158
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:50,719
appeared so

2159
01:22:50,719 --> 01:22:52,400
sort of to a lay person it's very

2160
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,760
confusing how this process is working

2161
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:57,440
what's happening

2162
01:22:57,440 --> 01:22:59,920
my children and i have been working for

2163
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:02,480
the last 11 years to rehab this farm

2164
01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:04,800
it's a christmas tree farm

2165
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:09,120
it's coming up on 100 years as a farm

2166
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,600
we sell christmas trees every year we

2167
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,679
have thousands of customers that come we

2168
01:23:13,679 --> 01:23:15,760
sell pre-cut you cut

2169
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:17,840
we love to engage with the community and

2170
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,360
we're very afraid that this road is

2171
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:20,800
going to

2172
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,360
again probably destroy or severely

2173
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,080
impact most of our business

2174
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,639
and drastically change

2175
01:23:28,639 --> 01:23:31,120
our farm my farm is 40 acres this again

2176
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:34,159
will bisect 26 of those will make a very

2177
01:23:34,159 --> 01:23:35,760
large portion

2178
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,320
inaccessible for farming

2179
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,320
and

2180
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,000
you know there's a lot of growth around

2181
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,480
us and in some ways it's very sad to see

2182
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:46,880
this happen it's a very beautiful place

2183
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,679
a beautiful area and

2184
01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:51,679
we very much would like to i think see

2185
01:23:51,679 --> 01:23:54,239
the road not go through and destroy this

2186
01:23:54,239 --> 01:23:56,400
farm so thank you for your time if you

2187
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,639
have any questions i'm very open to

2188
01:23:58,639 --> 01:24:01,280
taking those thank you

2189
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,639
thank you next is lily stone

2190
01:24:04,639 --> 01:24:13,350
lily can you please unmute

2191
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:20,229
lily we can't hear you

2192
01:24:20,239 --> 01:24:22,239
it looks like your mic's a muted can you

2193
01:24:22,239 --> 01:24:25,120
hear me yes thank you

2194
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:26,880
commissioners thank you for taking the

2195
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,560
time to hear comments this evening from

2196
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,360
what i understand the proposed changes

2197
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,400
to the tsp are largely to accommodate

2198
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:39,120
the river terrace 2.0 plan

2199
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:40,880
and that is why washington county is

2200
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,560
looking to include the road and

2201
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:46,560
potential intersection in this tsp

2202
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,880
the river terrace 2.0 plan involves

2203
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:50,880
swapping land outside of the urban

2204
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,280
growth boundary that connects forests

2205
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:54,400
streams

2206
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,400
and farms with property that has been

2207
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:58,719
already flagged for development for some

2208
01:24:58,719 --> 01:25:00,400
time

2209
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,679
this plan has not been approved by metro

2210
01:25:03,679 --> 01:25:05,600
if this new roadway is to service river

2211
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,840
terrace 2.0 it doesn't make sense to

2212
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,639
include it in the tsp at this time

2213
01:25:10,639 --> 01:25:12,400
especially when shoals ferry has already

2214
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,480
seen significant expansion

2215
01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:16,639
and these projects will impact signific

2216
01:25:16,639 --> 01:25:18,800
sensitive ecosystems

2217
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,120
if the tsp is used to help identify

2218
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:22,639
projects of fund

2219
01:25:22,639 --> 01:25:24,480
i'd argue that the developers of the

2220
01:25:24,480 --> 01:25:26,400
river terrace 2.0 project

2221
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:28,159
should be paying for this change and not

2222
01:25:28,159 --> 01:25:30,800
necessarily taxpayers

2223
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:32,480
also it is important to consider current

2224
01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:34,320
economic conditions

2225
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:35,600
according to the bureau of labor

2226
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:36,960
statistics

2227
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,520
in june inflation was up 9.1

2228
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,120
which is the largest rate increase we've

2229
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,120
seen in 40 years

2230
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:44,719
consumer spending which is a key

2231
01:25:44,719 --> 01:25:47,199
indicator of a looming recession

2232
01:25:47,199 --> 01:25:50,080
is also predicted to decrease as well as

2233
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,880
fargo is expecting that more people will

2234
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,960
be digging into their savings to cover

2235
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:56,560
the cost of goods

2236
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,560
to my knowledge the impacts of this

2237
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,639
level of inflation and a potential

2238
01:26:00,639 --> 01:26:02,560
looming recession have not been

2239
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,880
considered when examining the population

2240
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:06,880
growth that would be used for these

2241
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,040
projects

2242
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,280
given that the tsp identifies projects

2243
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:12,480
for funding

2244
01:26:12,480 --> 01:26:14,000
i'd like to see washington county be

2245
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:15,920
more conservative with the budget and

2246
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,239
only look at funding critical projects

2247
01:26:18,239 --> 01:26:20,159
not ones that could potentially happen

2248
01:26:20,159 --> 01:26:22,480
or be funded by developers

2249
01:26:22,480 --> 01:26:23,840
due to the uncertainty around this

2250
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,000
proposal and the environmental and

2251
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,080
economic impacts it would have

2252
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,400
i encourage you not to approve a

2253
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,040
engrossed ordinance number 882

2254
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,280
thank you again for your time

2255
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:40,159
thank you lily next is andrea damico

2256
01:26:40,159 --> 01:26:53,669
andrea can you please on me

2257
01:26:53,679 --> 01:26:57,990
andrea are you there

2258
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,520
can you hear me now

2259
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:00,480
yes

2260
01:27:00,480 --> 01:27:02,320
hi

2261
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,320
i would like to address the creeks that

2262
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:06,239
feed into the tultan river that will be

2263
01:27:06,239 --> 01:27:09,120
affected if the tile flat road extension

2264
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:10,639
is approved

2265
01:27:10,639 --> 01:27:12,400
organizations have been cleaning up the

2266
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,400
tabalton river for years

2267
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,480
and the runoff of roads and bridges will

2268
01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:19,199
contribute to sediment and silt

2269
01:27:19,199 --> 01:27:21,360
that affect our waterways causing

2270
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,719
erosion and pollutants which deteriorate

2271
01:27:24,719 --> 01:27:26,800
the water quality and the effect of

2272
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,560
wildlife in the area

2273
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,440
along the creek we have beavers nutria

2274
01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:33,760
deer and elk now

2275
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:35,679
and many others

2276
01:27:35,679 --> 01:27:37,760
we need to protect our waterways from

2277
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,239
being polluted

2278
01:27:40,239 --> 01:27:42,560
for the natural wildlife

2279
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,960
changing the water the waterway doesn't

2280
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,679
only impact us environmentally it also

2281
01:27:47,679 --> 01:27:49,040
impacts

2282
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:50,719
our water table

2283
01:27:50,719 --> 01:27:52,800
in the past two years our water table

2284
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:54,560
has risen

2285
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,800
in which we have had to have our pumps

2286
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,960
of our wells raised and this has never

2287
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:00,800
happened before in

2288
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:02,960
100 years plus

2289
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,120
i'm not opposed to change but scholes

2290
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,239
ferry and roy rogers have already added

2291
01:28:08,239 --> 01:28:10,719
lanes i really don't see the advantage

2292
01:28:10,719 --> 01:28:12,639
to extending tile flat

2293
01:28:12,639 --> 01:28:14,880
roy rogers and shoals ferry have as many

2294
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,760
lanes as tv highway

2295
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,560
and lastly if this was proposed in

2296
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,280
december of 2021 and was turned down why

2297
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,239
are we revisiting the expansion

2298
01:28:26,239 --> 01:28:29,600
and in 2014 beaverton had their plan for

2299
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,760
south cooper and there was never a

2300
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,719
mention of extending tile flat

2301
01:28:34,719 --> 01:28:37,440
what's changed since then the houses

2302
01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:39,760
have just started to be built on south

2303
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,760
cooper

2304
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,480
i urge the commission commission

2305
01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:47,199
to not approve the a and gross ordinance

2306
01:28:47,199 --> 01:28:50,560
number 882 due to the impact

2307
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,800
that it will have on our waterways and

2308
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:54,960
the wells of the remaining farms in the

2309
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,280
area and lack of clear need for this

2310
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,390
expansion

2311
01:28:59,390 --> 01:29:00,880
[Music]

2312
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:01,840
thank you

2313
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:03,440
next is carrie

2314
01:29:03,440 --> 01:29:06,080
parmentier

2315
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,440
carrie can you on mute please

2316
01:29:09,440 --> 01:29:11,760
it should be fine good evening chair and

2317
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:13,040
commissioners and thank you for your

2318
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:14,719
time this evening

2319
01:29:14,719 --> 01:29:16,639
yes i'm actually speaking on ordnance

2320
01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:19,040
882 because i believe it's directly

2321
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:22,400
connected with ordnance 883

2322
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,560
i'm asking you to please

2323
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,480
excuse me i've got covert at the moment

2324
01:29:26,480 --> 01:29:28,239
so i'm slightly struggling

2325
01:29:28,239 --> 01:29:30,000
to

2326
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,800
stop and think about this

2327
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:34,719
the planning commission voted against

2328
01:29:34,719 --> 01:29:36,639
this four to two

2329
01:29:36,639 --> 01:29:38,719
yet it as the last speaker said it's

2330
01:29:38,719 --> 01:29:40,719
back on the table and the question is

2331
01:29:40,719 --> 01:29:41,840
why

2332
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,159
if we're looking at the proposal of

2333
01:29:44,159 --> 01:29:45,840
round the mountain

2334
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:47,920
then there's a gap between where

2335
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,880
ordinance 882 stops at tile flat and

2336
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:53,600
where the proposed 883 stops at clark

2337
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,000
hill road the reason being the rest is

2338
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,800
rural reserves this is not good planning

2339
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:01,520
it feels it's being done by still

2340
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,400
and in fact is not actually opening up

2341
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,480
for public consultation the way it

2342
01:30:06,480 --> 01:30:08,560
should be and connection with everybody

2343
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,719
that will be involved

2344
01:30:10,719 --> 01:30:14,000
i agree with what cpo 10 andy hagan said

2345
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,080
at the start of this with the first

2346
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:17,600
public hearing

2347
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,480
we've got existing roads let's focus on

2348
01:30:20,480 --> 01:30:21,440
those

2349
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:24,719
stop taking rural lands for roadways

2350
01:30:24,719 --> 01:30:27,760
i was actually reading the metro's coos

2351
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:29,199
report

2352
01:30:29,199 --> 01:30:31,920
and they said that metro is growing at

2353
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:35,840
half the pace it was five years ago

2354
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,080
that is a real clear indicator along

2355
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,040
with this upcoming recession or just

2356
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,840
slow down that we all know is happening

2357
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,080
let's actually look and see what is

2358
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,800
needed and properly assessed and planned

2359
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:49,760
to there

2360
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,679
rather than long-term planning that

2361
01:30:51,679 --> 01:30:53,840
could be extremely wasteful

2362
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,239
and not a good use of our funds that you

2363
01:30:56,239 --> 01:30:58,000
manage on our behalf

2364
01:30:58,000 --> 01:30:59,440
thank you for allowing me the time to

2365
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:02,239
speak

2366
01:31:02,239 --> 01:31:03,840
thank you

2367
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,400
next is john

2368
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:08,960
stone

2369
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:10,639
john kenyon

2370
01:31:10,639 --> 01:31:12,960
yes sam thank you commissioner um i am

2371
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:14,480
concerned with this

2372
01:31:14,480 --> 01:31:16,719
uh proposed inclusion of the tile fat

2373
01:31:16,719 --> 01:31:18,880
road extension and the additional beef

2374
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:22,159
bend road intersection in the tsp

2375
01:31:22,159 --> 01:31:23,440
specifically

2376
01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:26,159
engrossed ordinance number 882 the

2377
01:31:26,159 --> 01:31:28,560
inclusion of these projects in the tsp

2378
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,520
seems to largely be based on the

2379
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,360
uh

2380
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,520
terrace 2 project

2381
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:37,440
which requires an urban growth boundary

2382
01:31:37,440 --> 01:31:39,360
swap that my knowledge has never been

2383
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,600
done before and requires

2384
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,480
approval by the metro that aside it's

2385
01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:47,360
important to consider future anticipated

2386
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,760
growth when making these investments

2387
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,679
especially when our community is facing

2388
01:31:51,679 --> 01:31:53,840
an economic challenge associated with

2389
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:55,920
high inflation and increased interest

2390
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:56,880
rates

2391
01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,040
even before the current inflation that

2392
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:01,280
we are seeing today and doubling of

2393
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:03,600
those interest rates we actually had a

2394
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,960
population drop of 0.2 in the portland

2395
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,310
metro area

2396
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:14,239
and from 2020 to 2021 that data comes

2397
01:32:14,239 --> 01:32:17,040
from the u.s census bureau we are not

2398
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:18,880
just seeing a decline

2399
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:21,280
in population growth we are actually

2400
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:24,239
seeing a decrease in population in our

2401
01:32:24,239 --> 01:32:25,360
area

2402
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,600
i'm not sure what population forecasts

2403
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,000
are included when justifying funding in

2404
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:34,159
the tsp but when i look at the 2040 and

2405
01:32:34,159 --> 01:32:36,960
2045 distributed forecast

2406
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,440
of population put out by metro these

2407
01:32:39,440 --> 01:32:41,280
studies do not include the impacts of

2408
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,080
covenant 19 or the impacts of very high

2409
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:46,800
inflation in the near term along with a

2410
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,360
near-term recession those should be key

2411
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,040
considerations when thinking about

2412
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,600
including projects that are only needed

2413
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:56,080
in the instance of continued expansion

2414
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:57,360
in the area

2415
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,560
i encourage you all to not approve the a

2416
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,600
and gross ordinance number 882 and to

2417
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:05,199
dedicate that funding towards something

2418
01:33:05,199 --> 01:33:07,199
that will be more beneficial for our

2419
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:09,280
community thank you

2420
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:10,960
thank you

2421
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:13,360
next is marilyn silver

2422
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:16,239
maryland communion

2423
01:33:16,239 --> 01:33:17,760
hi can you hear me

2424
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,600
yes great

2425
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:20,400
um

2426
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,320
thank you very much for the opportunity

2427
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,120
to voice my objections to this ordinance

2428
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,600
i've also submitted written

2429
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,880
uh testimony which goes into more detail

2430
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,120
but i would like to just make a couple

2431
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:34,719
of points

2432
01:33:34,719 --> 01:33:37,679
i fail to see the urgency or need to

2433
01:33:37,679 --> 01:33:39,600
pass this ordinance

2434
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:41,600
your own planning commission as others

2435
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:43,760
have said voted it down by a vote of

2436
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:45,360
four to two

2437
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:47,360
they acknowledged public objections and

2438
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,520
their staff report failed to persuade

2439
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,239
them of the need for this ordinance

2440
01:33:52,239 --> 01:33:54,719
the area impacted this by this ordinance

2441
01:33:54,719 --> 01:33:57,440
is outside the ugb and metro has yet to

2442
01:33:57,440 --> 01:33:59,440
schedule public hearings

2443
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:02,159
on bringing the area into the ugb as a

2444
01:34:02,159 --> 01:34:04,800
mid-cycle exception

2445
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:06,480
metro apparently is proceeding at the

2446
01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:08,400
request of the city of tiger and

2447
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,239
apparently tiger doesn't want to wait

2448
01:34:10,239 --> 01:34:12,080
until 2024

2449
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,320
which is the normal cycle for ugb

2450
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,840
expansion i wonder

2451
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,920
why metro is proposing a land exchange

2452
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:21,679
apparently the first time this has been

2453
01:34:21,679 --> 01:34:22,880
done

2454
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,040
what is the urgency for metro to act and

2455
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,600
for washington county to act your staff

2456
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,199
have acknowledged that this ordinance

2457
01:34:29,199 --> 01:34:31,199
requires exceptions to the statewide

2458
01:34:31,199 --> 01:34:32,800
planning goals

2459
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,800
what is the urgency to build this road

2460
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,120
in contravention to these goals which

2461
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,199
prevent roads from being built on rural

2462
01:34:39,199 --> 01:34:40,800
reserve areas

2463
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:42,960
population growth is slowing we all

2464
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:43,920
agree

2465
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,239
the pandemic has changed the way we work

2466
01:34:46,239 --> 01:34:49,119
and resulting patterned traffic patterns

2467
01:34:49,119 --> 01:34:50,880
and there are still areas in washington

2468
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:53,119
county which are being developed

2469
01:34:53,119 --> 01:34:55,760
so what is the urgency for city of tiger

2470
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,880
to implement river terrace 2.0

2471
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:00,639
their representatives did not attend

2472
01:35:00,639 --> 01:35:02,880
your staff's question and answer session

2473
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:06,080
so we don't know their motivation

2474
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,320
the proposed extension will greatly

2475
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,560
impact vital forest and wetland areas

2476
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:12,560
and wildlife habitat

2477
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,320
and in a time when climate change is

2478
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:16,320
making its effects apparent

2479
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,800
why do we want to trade forest canopy

2480
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:21,040
and water resources for more concrete

2481
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:22,719
and asphalt

2482
01:35:22,719 --> 01:35:24,880
thank you very much for the opportunity

2483
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:26,320
to address the book

2484
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,960
thank you marilyn honest

2485
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,760
yes i'm sorry to have to interrupt you

2486
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:34,880
and i apologize to everyone who is

2487
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,040
waiting to testify

2488
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:40,639
i have been informed that our youtube

2489
01:35:40,639 --> 01:35:43,280
broadcast of this meeting

2490
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:44,400
is

2491
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:45,280
not

2492
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,119
working properly

2493
01:35:47,119 --> 01:35:49,760
so i have been counseled by county

2494
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,800
council to pause the meeting

2495
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:54,080
for a moment

2496
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,800
so we can assess what is happening

2497
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:59,440
while i know completely

2498
01:35:59,440 --> 01:36:02,960
that our video recording

2499
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:03,840
uh

2500
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:04,960
is

2501
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:08,159
for streaming video continues to work

2502
01:36:08,159 --> 01:36:11,119
i just need us to pause for a moment so

2503
01:36:11,119 --> 01:36:13,440
that our team has the opportunity to

2504
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:16,870
investigate

2505
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:18,960
yes commissioner rogers yeah man i'm

2506
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,320
sure i completely agree with you could

2507
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:21,840
we also just take a five minute break

2508
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,400
we've been going at it and i need to uh

2509
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,719
kind of go off camera for me

2510
01:36:26,719 --> 01:36:27,600
yes

2511
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,199
um i would suggest we uh take a break

2512
01:36:31,199 --> 01:36:33,360
until 8 15

2513
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,360
if possible that gives you a little bit

2514
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:46,070
longer than five good yeah okay

2515
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:49,360

2517
01:36:51,440 --> 01:36:52,560

thank you good evening commissioners

2528
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,480
thank you for this opportunity um i want

2529
01:37:20,480 --> 01:37:21,840
to first agree

2530
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:23,679
with everyone who's already testified

2531
01:37:23,679 --> 01:37:25,760
this evening with their concerns and i

2532
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,639
too oppose this ordinance

2533
01:37:28,639 --> 01:37:30,320
i also want to note that despite my

2534
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,560
repeated requests i have yet to receive

2535
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,199
any information directly from the county

2536
01:37:35,199 --> 01:37:37,760
on this initiative including the recent

2537
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,719
july 13th q a meeting

2538
01:37:40,719 --> 01:37:42,960
and like chair harrington i also find

2539
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,600
the maps and this information very big

2540
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:49,119
confusing and unclear over my 50 years

2541
01:37:49,119 --> 01:37:51,199
i've witnessed the the encroachment of

2542
01:37:51,199 --> 01:37:52,880
the never ending development near our

2543
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:54,960
property off of vandermost road

2544
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,040
decades ago when our family established

2545
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,199
one of the state's first wineries we

2546
01:37:59,199 --> 01:38:00,639
helped to protect our region's

2547
01:38:00,639 --> 01:38:02,400
agricultural industry

2548
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,719
through state land use laws including

2549
01:38:04,719 --> 01:38:06,560
and most importantly the adoption of the

2550
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:07,920
ugb

2551
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:10,000
it's therefore incredibly disappointing

2552
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,320
to see how this once precious boundary

2553
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,679
seems to be so easily adjusted devaluing

2554
01:38:15,679 --> 01:38:17,360
its original intent

2555
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,119
had it been respected in coordination

2556
01:38:19,119 --> 01:38:20,800
with responsible planning any

2557
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:23,360
infrastructure should have come prior or

2558
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,280
at minimum hand in hand with the

2559
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:26,800
proposed housing

2560
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:29,199
instead now we seek a band-aid approach

2561
01:38:29,199 --> 01:38:31,199
to support the overwhelming development

2562
01:38:31,199 --> 01:38:33,360
somehow now realizing

2563
01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:35,920
that housing means more cars

2564
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:38,080
we got it wrong and that being said i

2565
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:40,159
struggle to now see how extending a road

2566
01:38:40,159 --> 01:38:43,040
along another road will avoid congestion

2567
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:45,280
this proposal only offers a temporary

2568
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,920
solution as i believe the only real way

2569
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:50,000
to alleviate congestion is

2570
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:51,920
looking at the development and that

2571
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,280
creates it

2572
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:54,560
we've already seen the result of

2573
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:56,159
increased traffic on current connecting

2574
01:38:56,159 --> 01:38:58,320
roadways from urban areas through

2575
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:00,719
farmland accidents have increased human

2576
01:39:00,719 --> 01:39:02,639
life has been sacrificed with fast-paced

2577
01:39:02,639 --> 01:39:04,960
commuters likewise the roads have become

2578
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:06,480
increasingly dangerous for the local

2579
01:39:06,480 --> 01:39:08,560
farmers there's also the continued

2580
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:10,320
concern of not having adequate bike

2581
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,560
lanes which will provide security to

2582
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:14,560
urban cyclists who misjudge the volume

2583
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:16,320
and the speed of the vehicles

2584
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,239
so i'd like to know what the master plan

2585
01:39:18,239 --> 01:39:20,400
is i'd like to know how it ends and if

2586
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:22,239
we don't respect boundaries how can

2587
01:39:22,239 --> 01:39:24,320
property owners like tanya ever feel

2588
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:26,719
confident in making future decisions

2589
01:39:26,719 --> 01:39:28,639
this ordinance demonstrates how

2590
01:39:28,639 --> 01:39:30,880
boundaries may change again and again at

2591
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:32,080
any moment

2592
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:33,360
i hope that the commission will

2593
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,000
reconsider to push this

2594
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,560
just pushing out the urban footprint and

2595
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:40,719
instead urge them to look at more

2596
01:39:40,719 --> 01:39:43,040
progressive longer-range planning and

2597
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:44,639
seek a more responsible approach to

2598
01:39:44,639 --> 01:39:46,960
meeting both future future housing and

2599
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,760
agricultural needs thank you

2600
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:51,199

thousand friends has been tracking and

2615
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,040
working on issues like ordinance 882 for

2616
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:22,880
over 50 years through the urban growth

2617
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:24,800
boundary system and the land use system

2618
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:27,040
be pioneered here in oregon and i think

2619
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:28,719
many of the comments we have heard today

2620
01:40:28,719 --> 01:40:30,560
speak true to some of the conversations

2621
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:32,000
and the way that the land use system is

2622
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,080
supposed to allow for conversations to

2623
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,719
be facilitated between urban or those

2624
01:40:36,719 --> 01:40:38,239
folks within the urban growth boundary

2625
01:40:38,239 --> 01:40:39,600
and those outside and what the

2626
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:40,960
trade-offs we make when we make

2627
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:42,960
decisions

2628
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:44,400
if you haven't had the opportunity to

2629
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:46,080
i'd like to direct you to the written

2630
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,239
comments that we provided to the board i

2631
01:40:48,239 --> 01:40:50,480
believe yesterday which detail in more

2632
01:40:50,480 --> 01:40:52,880
detail than i can uh and with a legal

2633
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:54,800
framework uh as well

2634
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,119
uh specifically to ordinance 882 and i

2635
01:40:57,119 --> 01:40:58,960
want to call out two things that are in

2636
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,000
the testimony itself one um as other

2637
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:03,760
folks have hinted that is an exception

2638
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:06,080
being made for this land use goal

2639
01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:07,920
there's a goal land use exception being

2640
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:08,719
made

2641
01:41:08,719 --> 01:41:10,560
but we find that in the appendix and

2642
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:12,320
when it is further explained why we're

2643
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:13,679
pursuing a unique and limited

2644
01:41:13,679 --> 01:41:16,239
circumstance for why we would

2645
01:41:16,239 --> 01:41:18,639
make this land useful exception uh the

2646
01:41:18,639 --> 01:41:20,400
point is conductivity throughout the

2647
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,360
roads and uh desire to limit congestion

2648
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,600
on the roads but these are pretty

2649
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:27,840
generic and somewhat dubious grounds we

2650
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,560
consider to basically land use exception

2651
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:32,800
and place a goal exception and we

2652
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:34,320
continue to have concerns that if this

2653
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:36,000
is the logic that we're using to justify

2654
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,880
for this specific project uh it could be

2655
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:40,639
used in multiple other instances and

2656
01:41:40,639 --> 01:41:43,119
used to degrade and break up farmland

2657
01:41:43,119 --> 01:41:46,320
and expand outside of farmland

2658
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,400
i'd also like to make uh light of the

2659
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:49,920
second thing mentioned in our letter and

2660
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:52,080
other folks have made light as well this

2661
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,400
uh tsp amendment is largely dependent on

2662
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,480
a ugb land swap that has not happened

2663
01:41:56,480 --> 01:41:58,480
before and is a new process

2664
01:41:58,480 --> 01:42:00,159
um and i would also like to argue the

2665
01:42:00,159 --> 01:42:01,840
point that we're making reliance and

2666
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:03,360
assumptions on who will pay for this

2667
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:05,520
road potentially in the future without

2668
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:07,040
the certainty of the current land use

2669
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:10,000
system in the in the ugb swap nor the

2670
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:11,679
understanding of who might those payers

2671
01:42:11,679 --> 01:42:12,840
be in the

2672
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,880
future the next point i'd like to make

2673
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:16,880
is really a framing of how i look at

2674
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:18,800
this issue and it really is around

2675
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:20,880
burdens and benefits and who those are

2676
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,639
being placed upon and it's pretty clear

2677
01:42:22,639 --> 01:42:25,040
that ordinance 882 is largely for the

2678
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:26,639
benefits of folks living within the

2679
01:42:26,639 --> 01:42:28,239
urban growth boundaries to the detriment

2680
01:42:28,239 --> 01:42:30,159
of those living outside the urban growth

2681
01:42:30,159 --> 01:42:32,000
boundaries you've heard multiple pieces

2682
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:33,679
of testimony today from farmers

2683
01:42:33,679 --> 01:42:36,239
concerned citizens people who own land

2684
01:42:36,239 --> 01:42:38,159
uh all variety of folks who all all

2685
01:42:38,159 --> 01:42:39,760
pointed out the fact that this road and

2686
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,400
this connection to ordinance 883 i would

2687
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:43,679
again stipulate that these two

2688
01:42:43,679 --> 01:42:45,760
ordinances are very much connected and

2689
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:47,520
one is dependent on the other for the to

2690
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:48,880
really be effective and to reach the

2691
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,159
goals that you are

2692
01:42:50,159 --> 01:42:52,639
moving towards but um the the

2693
01:42:52,639 --> 01:42:54,800
construction of the movement towards 882

2694
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:55,760
and the construction of the road

2695
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:57,600
eventually will degrade farmland split

2696
01:42:57,600 --> 01:42:59,520
up farmland and really limit their

2697
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,520
ability of our uh region and our county

2698
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,000
moving forward uh to

2699
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:07,760
keep working lands in working option

2700
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:09,920
um i'd like to close out that i caught i

2701
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:11,840
constantly hear in in meetings around

2702
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:13,520
the region and clackamas county

2703
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:15,840
multnomah county benton county that uh

2704
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,000
policymakers often feel constrained by

2705
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,239
decision maker by the decisions of past

2706
01:43:20,239 --> 01:43:22,239
decision makers and that things like a

2707
01:43:22,239 --> 01:43:24,400
tsp amendment while seeming innocuous

2708
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,119
now will greatly affect then shape the

2709
01:43:27,119 --> 01:43:29,360
decision making of future policy makers

2710
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,520
that will come after you and for the

2711
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:33,119
many reasons you've heard today if

2712
01:43:33,119 --> 01:43:34,639
you're feeling uncertain about this

2713
01:43:34,639 --> 01:43:36,239
measure and feel like maybe you don't

2714
01:43:36,239 --> 01:43:38,000
have all the facts or we don't maybe

2715
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:39,679
need at this time you can certainly add

2716
01:43:39,679 --> 01:43:41,520
this to the tsb at any moment going

2717
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:43,840
forward or work towards that goal but if

2718
01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:45,280
you don't feel like you have sufficient

2719
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:47,280
grounds right now to do that you don't

2720
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:48,800
have to pass this ordinance there's no

2721
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:52,159
requirement pushing that forward

2722
01:43:52,159 --> 01:43:53,760
closing out too i would also like to

2723
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,280
make light that we're in a heat dome and

2724
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,040
that automotive transportation and the

2725
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,480
road and infrastructure that we're

2726
01:43:58,480 --> 01:44:00,239
describing and talking about in ordnance

2727
01:44:00,239 --> 01:44:03,600
882 and an 883 really are automotive

2728
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,119
road infrastructure that will have a

2729
01:44:05,119 --> 01:44:07,440
climate impact and will contribute to

2730
01:44:07,440 --> 01:44:09,360
heat domes and other uh extreme weather

2731
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:10,639
phenomenon like we're currently

2732
01:44:10,639 --> 01:44:12,880
experiencing so with that in light and

2733
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:14,400
kind of taking into the context of this

2734
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,960
entire meeting uh we 1 thousand friends

2736
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:20,639

is it appropriate for me to ask them now

2751
01:45:00,639 --> 01:45:03,840
or should i hold them until

2752
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:06,719
we have another public hearing on august

2753
01:45:06,719 --> 01:45:07,840

but we will have another hearing on

2761
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:20,960
august 2nd

2762
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,000
commissioners i would i would like to uh

2763
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:26,480
ask the courtesy of asking a couple of

2764
01:45:26,480 --> 01:45:28,320
questions tonight

2765
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:31,440
uh if that's okay with you okay and but

2766
01:45:31,440 --> 01:45:33,840
first do any of you have questions you

2767
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,000
can certainly go first i have no problem

2768
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,470
with that

2769
01:45:38,480 --> 01:45:40,880
go ahead commissioner rogers just just a

2770
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,280
couple of comments uh and questions uh

2771
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:44,400
the

2772
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:47,119
comments are that uh

2773
01:45:47,119 --> 01:45:50,320
if the staff presentations are correct

2774
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:52,159
in regard and i suspect that they are

2775
01:45:52,159 --> 01:45:53,840
aaron and what you've done

2776
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:55,119
in terms of

2777
01:45:55,119 --> 01:45:56,320
timing

2778
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:58,239
uh frankly this road may not ever be

2779
01:45:58,239 --> 01:45:59,119
built

2780
01:45:59,119 --> 01:46:00,000
uh

2781
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,080
in time for anybody who's viewing this

2782
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:04,239
tonight or anyone on this call to ever

2783
01:46:04,239 --> 01:46:05,199
see it

2784
01:46:05,199 --> 01:46:06,800
if you're talking out

2785
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:09,280
40 50 60 years and so

2786
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:12,320
one of the dilemmas that i have and

2787
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:15,119
being one board member is that uh

2788
01:46:15,119 --> 01:46:16,400
you know you're you're looking at the

2789
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,159
future you're trying to say what's it

2790
01:46:18,159 --> 01:46:20,000
going to look at like and that's very

2791
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:21,679
difficult

2792
01:46:21,679 --> 01:46:23,040
so that's my comment my questions are

2793
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,600
these is one the

2794
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:27,840
the urgency i i don't know i do know

2795
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,000
that river terrace

2796
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:31,600
if they only have one outlet that's

2797
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:33,199
under roy rogers road that's not the

2798
01:46:33,199 --> 01:46:36,000
best alternative they need some way out

2799
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,719
i i guess i don't have a firm grasp on

2800
01:46:38,719 --> 01:46:40,480
what it would look like as you go to

2801
01:46:40,480 --> 01:46:42,560
tile flat and all of that but

2802
01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:44,560
to me getting out of that area over to

2803
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:47,920
shoals ferry is pretty important so

2804
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:50,960
i i regret that's going to affect some

2805
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:52,800
really

2806
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:55,280
fine businesses like ponzi and other

2807
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,040
groups but maybe there's some way to

2808
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:58,880
engineer it so that doesn't happen i

2809
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:00,880
mean i don't i don't know that

2810
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:02,159
but i would like

2811
01:47:02,159 --> 01:47:04,159
you to recover

2812
01:47:04,159 --> 01:47:05,920
your ground aaron at some points and

2813
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,400
explain how this is done that

2814
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,320
this board

2815
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,320
is not the decision maker in regard to

2816
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,560
the ugba expansion

2817
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:17,440
we're not uh it's uh city of tiger has

2818
01:47:17,440 --> 01:47:19,679
requested certain things we

2819
01:47:19,679 --> 01:47:21,920
have a network of streets or ours or

2820
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:23,679
roads and we're trying to

2821
01:47:23,679 --> 01:47:25,600
make a circulation

2822
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:27,440
pattern that makes some sense not only

2823
01:47:27,440 --> 01:47:28,360
for

2824
01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:30,480
2022 but for

2825
01:47:30,480 --> 01:47:32,639
2072

2826
01:47:32,639 --> 01:47:34,080
and so

2827
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:36,080
that's a hard thing to do but at some

2828
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:38,400
point you may want to revisit that and

2829
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:39,920
you also may want to

2830
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:41,679
revisit the urgency

2831
01:47:41,679 --> 01:47:43,040
and the urgency isn't when you need

2832
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:44,159
something it's in the planning because

2833
01:47:44,159 --> 01:47:46,320
things happen and we get that this is

2834
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:47,920
this is the hard stuff i mean it's never

2835
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,480
fun it's the hard stuff so

2836
01:47:50,480 --> 01:47:52,719
my questions are can you recover that

2837
01:47:52,719 --> 01:47:54,639
maybe not tonight but at least at the

2838
01:47:54,639 --> 01:47:57,360
next meeting and have prepared for those

2839
01:47:57,360 --> 01:47:59,440
kinds of questions that's my comments

2840
01:47:59,440 --> 01:48:03,270
and my question

2841
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:04,960
we can certainly do that for the next

2842
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,440
hearing um i can also address it now if

2843
01:48:07,440 --> 01:48:08,880
you'd prefer to hear

2844
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:10,239
a little bit more about that at this

2845
01:48:10,239 --> 01:48:12,550
time

2846
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:13,760
go ahead okay

2847
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:16,960
so the um the decision to expand the

2848
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:19,119
urban growth boundary as you said did

2849
01:48:19,119 --> 01:48:20,560
come from the city of tigard the way

2850
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:22,000
that portland metro has laid out the

2851
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:23,760
process in order to do an urban growth

2852
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,560
boundary expansion a city has to meet

2853
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,400
the concept plan requirements that are

2854
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,040
established by metro's rules

2855
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:32,960
city of tiger did that and they made

2856
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,560
that request to metro as a part of the

2857
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:37,280
2021

2858
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:40,800
mid-cycle ugb adjustment and that's also

2859
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,239
a new process

2860
01:48:42,239 --> 01:48:44,880
metro established the mid-cycle i want

2861
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:46,880
to say as a part of the 2018 urban

2862
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:48,560
growth boundary expansion i'm looking at

2863
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:50,080
chair harrington i know she'll remember

2864
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:52,400
this i believe as a part of the 2018

2865
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:54,800
cycle they established the mid-cycle and

2866
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:56,960
that allowed them to revisit the urban

2867
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:58,639
growth boundary within a three-year time

2868
01:48:58,639 --> 01:49:00,800
period rather than waiting the usual six

2869
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:04,480
years so 2021 would have been the first

2870
01:49:04,480 --> 01:49:06,320
mid-year opportunity

2871
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,199
when metro looked at tigard's

2872
01:49:09,199 --> 01:49:11,040
application

2873
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:14,239
they determined that due to or metro co

2874
01:49:14,239 --> 01:49:15,920
looked at it's a still staff review not

2875
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:17,920
metro council review so staff looked at

2876
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:20,159
it evaluated it technically and

2877
01:49:20,159 --> 01:49:22,560
determined that it was a concept plan

2878
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:24,400
that met the requirements but they

2879
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:26,400
determined that rather than do the

2880
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,280
mid-cycle adjustment which required a

2881
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:31,679
statement of need for expanding it it

2882
01:49:31,679 --> 01:49:34,000
made more sense at this time to do the

2883
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:36,480
land swap approach and this has not been

2884
01:49:36,480 --> 01:49:39,520
done in metro yet but it is a set of

2885
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:41,040
rules that are established by state

2886
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,599
statute and other mpos within the state

2887
01:49:43,599 --> 01:49:45,119
can follow this process as well it's

2888
01:49:45,119 --> 01:49:46,719
just the first time that metro is doing

2889
01:49:46,719 --> 01:49:47,679
it

2890
01:49:47,679 --> 01:49:49,360
and so as a part of that they need to do

2891
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:51,360
a technical analysis to find where the

2892
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,520
land can come from and that's the piece

2893
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:55,280
that they haven't finished yet so metro

2894
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,679
staff are currently doing the technical

2895
01:49:57,679 --> 01:50:00,080
work that will lead them to identify

2896
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,800
what land could be identified

2897
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,040
already within the urban growth boundary

2898
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:07,040
my understanding from metro staff is

2899
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,520
that that land would then become urban

2900
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:11,679
reserve and would replace this land

2901
01:50:11,679 --> 01:50:13,280
which would then come into the urban

2902
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:14,719
growth boundary

2903
01:50:14,719 --> 01:50:17,280
so i believe this is all still being

2904
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:18,639
determined

2905
01:50:18,639 --> 01:50:20,000
right now and so we'll see how this

2906
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:21,040
plays out

2907
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,520
metro council has not yet weighed in and

2908
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:25,119
shown their preference for if they would

2909
01:50:25,119 --> 01:50:26,639
like to do this

2910
01:50:26,639 --> 01:50:28,719
i do think that it's important to keep

2911
01:50:28,719 --> 01:50:30,560
two things in mind first of all that the

2912
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:32,159
county doesn't get to make this decision

2913
01:50:32,159 --> 01:50:34,320
at all we're a part of it we have

2914
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:35,920
conversations our city partners and with

2915
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,440
metro but they're the ones who make

2916
01:50:37,440 --> 01:50:38,719
these decisions

2917
01:50:38,719 --> 01:50:41,520
we end up in a a bit of a reactionary

2918
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:43,679
position when these happen and as the

2919
01:50:43,679 --> 01:50:46,320
transportation provider we find it's

2920
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:48,239
important for us to consider what we

2921
01:50:48,239 --> 01:50:50,400
need out of our transportation system so

2922
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:52,560
that we can continue to provide a

2923
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:54,880
connected multimodal system

2924
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:56,239
and then the second thing i think is

2925
01:50:56,239 --> 01:50:57,920
important to keep in mind is that we

2926
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:00,400
identified the need for this collector

2927
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:02,880
facility before we knew that tigrid was

2928
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:04,239
going to ask to add it to the urban

2929
01:51:04,239 --> 01:51:06,639
growth boundary so while it is more

2930
01:51:06,639 --> 01:51:09,040
likely to be built if this land does

2931
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:10,639
come into the urban growth boundary and

2932
01:51:10,639 --> 01:51:12,639
start developing and needing a

2933
01:51:12,639 --> 01:51:14,639
transportation network at which time

2934
01:51:14,639 --> 01:51:16,880
development would probably build part

2935
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:18,719
most of it may be

2936
01:51:18,719 --> 01:51:20,320
we identified the need before we knew

2937
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:21,840
that part of it so there's a couple of

2938
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,000
different moving technical analysis

2939
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,159
pieces happening and when we come back

2940
01:51:26,159 --> 01:51:28,239
next week we can be prepared to address

2941
01:51:28,239 --> 01:51:34,470
this again

2942
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:37,280
thank you uh commissioner rogers and ms

2943
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:39,760
wardell commissioner vice chair willie

2944
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:41,199
how about you

2945
01:51:41,199 --> 01:51:44,159
yeah thank you very much aaron that um

2946
01:51:44,159 --> 01:51:45,520
i was

2947
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:47,520
anticipating that i'm gonna need to have

2948
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,199
just a little bit more conversation with

2949
01:51:49,199 --> 01:51:52,159
you but that was a great explanation

2950
01:51:52,159 --> 01:51:53,360
and i think

2951
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:55,520
from my standpoint

2952
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:58,560
i'd love to hear a little bit more about

2953
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,560
this whole process

2954
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:03,760
i heard the testimonies tonight

2955
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:06,239
and i understand that i

2956
01:52:06,239 --> 01:52:10,000
travel that area a lot because my

2957
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,159
family lives in sherwood

2958
01:52:12,159 --> 01:52:15,520
so i i go there um but i yeah i wanted

2959
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:17,520
to have a better understanding of this

2960
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:20,159
and i certainly understand the concerns

2961
01:52:20,159 --> 01:52:22,080
that we heard tonight uh from the

2962
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:24,880
testimony so i will reach out aaron just

2963
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:27,679
ask for maybe 15 minutes to understand

2964
01:52:27,679 --> 01:52:30,400
the land swap part of it because i don't

2965
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:36,629
get that so anyway thank you for that

2966
01:52:36,639 --> 01:52:39,199
to use your phraseology vice chair

2967
01:52:39,199 --> 01:52:42,400
willie i don't get it either it's

2968
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:44,400
it's new for all of us

2969
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:47,679
uh you know as as ms wardell uh

2970
01:52:47,679 --> 01:52:51,679
mentioned it is an aspect of land use

2971
01:52:51,679 --> 01:52:53,840
that the state allows

2972
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:58,960
but metro uh has never utilized it

2973
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:02,800
so we have no basis of explanation

2974
01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:05,760
and i know i haven't invested any time

2975
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:06,960
in looking

2976
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:08,639
at any

2977
01:53:08,639 --> 01:53:12,080
recent past information for the metro

2978
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:16,239
council that describes it either so uh

2979
01:53:16,239 --> 01:53:18,880
we're all on the same learning

2980
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,599
journey you're not alone

2981
01:53:21,599 --> 01:53:23,040
believe me

2982
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:24,800
commissioner fine do you have any

2983
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:27,040
questions at this juncture

2984
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:28,480
no okay

2985
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:29,440
um

2986
01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:32,239
so um

2987
01:53:32,239 --> 01:53:35,840
uh thank you ms wardell for speaking

2988
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:37,679
about the

2989
01:53:37,679 --> 01:53:41,760
mid-cycle ugb expansion request that the

2990
01:53:41,760 --> 01:53:44,000
city of tigard

2991
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:45,840
submitted and

2992
01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:48,639
since they submitted that

2993
01:53:48,639 --> 01:53:50,719
came this

2994
01:53:50,719 --> 01:53:54,719
new idea of the ugb land swap

2995
01:53:54,719 --> 01:53:57,440
and thank you for your comments on that

2996
01:53:57,440 --> 01:54:01,679
so that uh i understand how there is the

2997
01:54:01,679 --> 01:54:03,040
potential

2998
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:03,840
for

2999
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:07,119
such a thing to swap out

3000
01:54:07,119 --> 01:54:10,800
urban reserve existing urban reserve

3001
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:12,000
land

3002
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:12,880
with

3003
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:15,119
land already in the urban growth

3004
01:54:15,119 --> 01:54:18,800
boundary elsewhere and as a former metro

3005
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:19,920
councillor

3006
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:21,679
and

3007
01:54:21,679 --> 01:54:23,040
before me

3008
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:24,480
uh

3009
01:54:24,480 --> 01:54:27,599
lived with the decision back to

3010
01:54:27,599 --> 01:54:31,679
the 2002 ugb expansion that was

3011
01:54:31,679 --> 01:54:35,199
still which was done using the soil

3012
01:54:35,199 --> 01:54:36,480
classification

3013
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:39,199
hierarchy where there is land out in the

3014
01:54:39,199 --> 01:54:42,400
damascus area that is in the urban

3015
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,239
growth boundary

3016
01:54:44,239 --> 01:54:47,440
but doesn't seem to be in any rush for

3017
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:49,920
urbanization so that could be some of

3018
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:52,320
the land that they're looking at but

3019
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,119
there may be others as well

3020
01:54:55,119 --> 01:54:56,639
so thank you for

3021
01:54:56,639 --> 01:55:00,320
clarifying that uh for me um i just have

3022
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:02,320
a couple of questions and i don't need

3023
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:05,199
the answer now laters just later such as

3024
01:55:05,199 --> 01:55:08,320
with the august 2nd

3025
01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,639
public hearing if you could

3026
01:55:10,639 --> 01:55:12,480
once again provide

3027
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:15,119
a presentation for us because i think

3028
01:55:15,119 --> 01:55:17,199
that helps all of us

3029
01:55:17,199 --> 01:55:19,440
um

3030
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:21,280
so uh

3031
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:22,880
i remember

3032
01:55:22,880 --> 01:55:25,920
the history of adopting er

3033
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,320
urban and rural reserves right and all

3034
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:30,560
the remands that were involved with that

3035
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:32,480
and court of appeals

3036
01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:35,599
the uh what i don't remember is the time

3037
01:55:35,599 --> 01:55:37,199
frame by which

3038
01:55:37,199 --> 01:55:38,800
the area

3039
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:42,080
and if i look at um

3040
01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:43,840
slide number

3041
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:45,040
oops

3042
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:47,920
two three four five slide number five oh

3043
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:49,040
there it is

3044
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:50,480
um

3045
01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:52,880
there was a time

3046
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:54,239
i think

3047
01:55:54,239 --> 01:55:57,119
when the land

3048
01:55:57,119 --> 01:56:00,960
south of shoals ferry road but west

3049
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:02,320
of that

3050
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:05,440
uh upper blue urban reserve

3051
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:08,719
might have been in rural reserve

3052
01:56:08,719 --> 01:56:11,199
and uh

3053
01:56:11,199 --> 01:56:13,679
i don't know when

3054
01:56:13,679 --> 01:56:15,920
that little brown area

3055
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:18,320
right at the top of

3056
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:22,400
shoals ferry road and tile flat road was

3057
01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:23,760
made

3058
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,920
rural no reserve to use your

3059
01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:28,080
nomenclature what i used to call

3060
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:31,520
undesignated rural undesignated

3061
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:34,719
so if you could clarify for me

3062
01:56:34,719 --> 01:56:36,960
now if you know it but certainly august

3063
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:40,159
2nd that would be awesome

3064
01:56:40,159 --> 01:56:44,480
when that uh had that status

3065
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:48,800
then uh the other questions that i have

3066
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:50,480
is is

3067
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:51,840
if we

3068
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:53,760
go through this process

3069
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:56,400
uh with this ordinance and the county

3070
01:56:56,400 --> 01:57:01,910
tsp is adopted

3071
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,080
it's my understanding

3072
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:07,109
that

3073
01:57:07,119 --> 01:57:10,000
for the urban reserve areas so the areas

3074
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:11,679
in blue

3075
01:57:11,679 --> 01:57:13,360
there can be

3076
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:15,599
through the planning process

3077
01:57:15,599 --> 01:57:18,480
right with development

3078
01:57:18,480 --> 01:57:20,320
that

3079
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:22,960
right-of-way purchases could be

3080
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:26,159
made for that or there could be

3081
01:57:26,159 --> 01:57:29,119
conditions on the development as

3082
01:57:29,119 --> 01:57:35,270
you talked about in the packet material

3083
01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:37,440
so it sounds like i got that part right

3084
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:38,400
so far

3085
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:39,360
okay

3086
01:57:39,360 --> 01:57:40,239
um

3087
01:57:40,239 --> 01:57:43,599
but my question is for

3088
01:57:43,599 --> 01:57:46,000
that area that is

3089
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:47,119
rural

3090
01:57:47,119 --> 01:57:49,920
no reserve

3091
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:53,520
if if

3092
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:56,950
if the

3093
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:58,800
if we don't

3094
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,520
adopt the ordinance now

3095
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:04,840
or in current time

3096
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:06,719
uh

3097
01:58:06,719 --> 01:58:09,520
well what am i trying to get at

3098
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:12,480
what i'm really trying to understand is

3099
01:58:12,480 --> 01:58:14,400
that

3100
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:15,280
uh

3101
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:16,080
for

3102
01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:18,840
that hatched area in the

3103
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,470
brown part

3104
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:24,719
we can't just

3105
01:58:24,719 --> 01:58:26,239
purchase

3106
01:58:26,239 --> 01:58:28,719
that property or purchase the

3107
01:58:28,719 --> 01:58:32,159
right-of-way needs to put that road in

3108
01:58:32,159 --> 01:58:35,280
such an area without

3109
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:38,400
further public process and property

3110
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:41,520
owner engagement and willingness and all

3111
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:44,480
that right adding the line to our plan

3112
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:46,639
allows us to acquire right-of-way and

3113
01:58:46,639 --> 01:58:49,040
construct the road so adding it to our

3114
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:50,960
plan at this time would allow us to do

3115
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,000
that

3116
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:54,400
it would be unlikely to be done as a

3117
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:56,480
part of development not not impossible

3118
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:58,400
but unlikely because it is rural

3119
01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:01,520
undesignated or rural no reserve um but

3120
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:04,159
it would be possible for that to happen

3121
01:59:04,159 --> 01:59:06,159
we could have some development within

3122
01:59:06,159 --> 01:59:08,400
the what's now the urban reserve area

3123
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:10,800
even contribute towards that

3124
01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:13,440
extra territorial kind of improvement

3125
01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:15,360
because it'll be in our plan we'll know

3126
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:16,800
it's an improvement that we're trying to

3127
01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:18,800
achieve and we'll have the ability to do

3128
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:20,080
that

3129
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:21,760
okay thank you

3130
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:26,880
um then the the last question i have is

3131
01:59:26,880 --> 01:59:28,000
so

3132
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:28,800
i'm

3133
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:30,960
a frankly i'll just i am

3134
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:34,080
a little bit bothered by the fact that

3135
01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:36,800
some people seem to think that

3136
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:40,960
this tsp is being done in response

3137
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:42,840
to the city of

3138
01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:47,679
tigards mid-cycle ugb expansion request

3139
01:59:47,679 --> 01:59:48,639
when

3140
01:59:48,639 --> 01:59:49,760
this is

3141
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:50,560
a

3142
01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:52,719
tsp

3143
01:59:52,719 --> 01:59:56,320
amendment idea that has been around for

3144
01:59:56,320 --> 01:59:58,960
quite well since the

3145
01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:01,840
the development of an adoption of those

3146
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:03,599
urban reserves

3147
02:00:03,599 --> 02:00:06,639
um so my question the question i'm

3148
02:00:06,639 --> 02:00:08,800
trying to get at is

3149
02:00:08,800 --> 02:00:11,360
uh i understand that we have another

3150
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,599
public hearing on

3151
02:00:13,599 --> 02:00:15,679
april 2nd

3152
02:00:15,679 --> 02:00:19,920
but could we just as easily delay

3153
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:22,400
action on

3154
02:00:22,400 --> 02:00:24,840
a decision on that until

3155
02:00:24,840 --> 02:00:26,480
after

3156
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:28,480
the metro council has had the

3157
02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:31,840
opportunity to to decide if they want to

3158
02:00:31,840 --> 02:00:33,920
entertain a land swap

3159
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:37,040
and or after they decide if they even

3160
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:38,320
want to

3161
02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:42,800
grant a mid-cycle ugb expansion request

3162
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:46,639
as made by the city of tigard

3163
02:00:46,639 --> 02:00:48,239
that would be something the board could

3164
02:00:48,239 --> 02:00:50,239
consider and we would want to consult

3165
02:00:50,239 --> 02:00:52,159
with county council to probably bring

3166
02:00:52,159 --> 02:00:53,840
forward an option for what that could

3167
02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:55,840
look like for the board and how we would

3168
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:57,760
continue to a date certain

3169
02:00:57,760 --> 02:00:59,599
what that would mean from a technical

3170
02:00:59,599 --> 02:01:01,599
standpoint is that

3171
02:01:01,599 --> 02:01:03,599
if we wait until the land comes into the

3172
02:01:03,599 --> 02:01:05,760
urban growth boundary we no longer need

3173
02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:08,000
the exception analysis for the part that

3174
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:09,199
is in blue

3175
02:01:09,199 --> 02:01:11,119
and as you said we've been working on

3176
02:01:11,119 --> 02:01:13,280
developing this ordinance and associated

3177
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:16,119
cooper mountain area ordinances since

3178
02:01:16,119 --> 02:01:18,400
2015 probably going back to the

3179
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:20,719
beaverton work that was done

3180
02:01:20,719 --> 02:01:22,320
way before we knew that city of tiger

3181
02:01:22,320 --> 02:01:23,760
would be making this request or even

3182
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:24,960
that it would be possible for them to

3183
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:28,159
make a request in the year 2021 so most

3184
02:01:28,159 --> 02:01:30,719
of our technical work predated that we

3185
02:01:30,719 --> 02:01:32,320
worked with city of tigard as they were

3186
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:34,239
developing their river terrace 2.0

3187
02:01:34,239 --> 02:01:36,480
concept plan and explained our intent

3188
02:01:36,480 --> 02:01:37,920
behind this ordinance and what we would

3189
02:01:37,920 --> 02:01:40,000
like to see we do want to make sure that

3190
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:42,159
their development has this internal

3191
02:01:42,159 --> 02:01:44,639
collector circulation

3192
02:01:44,639 --> 02:01:46,239
if it is brought into the urban growth

3193
02:01:46,239 --> 02:01:49,599
boundary and if it starts to develop so

3194
02:01:49,599 --> 02:01:52,320
deferring a decision until after we know

3195
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:53,599
the decision on the urban growth

3196
02:01:53,599 --> 02:01:55,360
boundary is something that the board

3197
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:57,199
could consider doing

3198
02:01:57,199 --> 02:01:59,280
now the piece that's in undesignated

3199
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:01,520
just south of tile flat road would still

3200
02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:03,599
need that exceptions analysis and so we

3201
02:02:03,599 --> 02:02:05,440
would likely still need the tsp

3202
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:08,560
amendment um as we have framed it today

3203
02:02:08,560 --> 02:02:10,480
although with the line work and the text

3204
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:12,960
reference updated to explain that it's

3205
02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:15,840
now only that that piece of the segment

3206
02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:17,360
um that's outside the urban growth

3207
02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:18,719
boundary so there would be some

3208
02:02:18,719 --> 02:02:20,480
restructuring to the ordinance at that

3209
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:22,560
time but if the exceptions analysis

3210
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:24,639
technical work would still need to be

3211
02:02:24,639 --> 02:02:26,560
included in rtsp

3212
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:28,639
okay okay

3213
02:02:28,639 --> 02:02:32,800
uh i also uh understand that that

3214
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:35,679
listening session that you had

3215
02:02:35,679 --> 02:02:39,040
on recently on july 13th

3216
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:40,560
was uh

3217
02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:41,920
regarding

3218
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:44,000
property owners

3219
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:46,880
was it for property owners as notified

3220
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,840
just in the blue area or was it for

3221
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:52,239
property owners in

3222
02:02:52,239 --> 02:02:55,440
that brown area as well up by shoals

3223
02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:58,159
ferry road it was both so we looked at

3224
02:02:58,159 --> 02:03:00,880
the uh corridor the roadway corridor

3225
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:03,280
which is wide it's 375 feet and then we

3226
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:05,920
applied a buffer to that additionally

3227
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:09,520
for the july 13th session we noticed

3228
02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:12,159
everyone who's in the rural reserve area

3229
02:03:12,159 --> 02:03:14,239
who takes access off of van der most

3230
02:03:14,239 --> 02:03:16,159
road because that road would have a

3231
02:03:16,159 --> 02:03:18,239
future intersection with this alignment

3232
02:03:18,239 --> 02:03:20,080
even though the alignment does not go

3233
02:03:20,080 --> 02:03:22,639
into the rural reserve area i believe

3234
02:03:22,639 --> 02:03:24,320
the ponzi vineyard is in the rural

3235
02:03:24,320 --> 02:03:26,960
reserve area for example so not directly

3236
02:03:26,960 --> 02:03:29,520
impacted but included in our invitation

3237
02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:31,760
to that listening session

3238
02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:32,800
and i will say i know we've heard

3239
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:34,080
testimony tonight from some people

3240
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:35,440
saying that they didn't know about that

3241
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:38,000
listening session i did verify that they

3242
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:40,560
were included in our notice for that and

3243
02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:42,080
we have interacted with those property

3244
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:43,599
owners in other fashions with other

3245
02:03:43,599 --> 02:03:45,760
meetings and phone calls as well

3246
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:48,239

3247
02:03:48,239 --> 02:03:51,599

3323
02:06:51,199 --> 02:06:53,440
as commissioner tree said

3324
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:56,239
this is not a letter but a statement

3325
02:06:56,239 --> 02:06:58,480
the beginning sentence reads we are

3326
02:06:58,480 --> 02:07:00,639
dismayed and frustrated by our u.s

3327
02:07:00,639 --> 02:07:02,079
supreme court

3328
02:07:02,079 --> 02:07:04,800

02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:06,639
legal precedent protecting the right to

3392
02:09:27,440 --> 02:09:29,360
so this is a background on measure 109

3393
02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:31,280
as you know it was passed in november

3394
02:09:31,280 --> 02:09:34,079
2020 it legalized license and regulated

3395
02:09:34,079 --> 02:09:36,320
manufacturing transportation delivery

3396
02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:38,639
sale and purchase of psilocybin products

3397
02:09:38,639 --> 02:09:40,560
and the provision of psilocybin services

3398
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:43,040
in oregon it is similar to but different

3399
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:45,920
than the marijuana legalization measures

3400
02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:47,840
it was approved by 59 of the voters in

3401
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:50,239
washington county uh with only 56

3402
02:09:50,239 --> 02:09:51,920
percent statewide

3403
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:54,239
uh oh the off the oregon health

3404
02:09:54,239 --> 02:09:56,560
authority has completed some rules we're

3405
02:09:56,560 --> 02:09:58,639
making however rules for citing an

3406
02:09:58,639 --> 02:10:00,480
operation of psilocybin businesses have

3407
02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:02,639
not been drafted we expect completion by

3408
02:10:02,639 --> 02:10:04,000
the end of the year

3409
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:08,079
on january 2nd 2023 the oha will be

3410
02:10:08,079 --> 02:10:10,159
required to begin accepting license

3411
02:10:10,159 --> 02:10:11,920
applications including for businesses to

3412
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:13,679
manufacture tests in the minister's

3413
02:10:13,679 --> 02:10:15,599
assignment

3414
02:10:15,599 --> 02:10:18,239
the ordinance the measure does allow for

3415
02:10:18,239 --> 02:10:19,840
local jurisdictions

3416
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:21,840
to pass an ordinance

3417
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:24,800
banning uh the psilocybin activities in

3418
02:10:24,800 --> 02:10:26,480
their jurisdiction

3419
02:10:26,480 --> 02:10:29,040
if you pass that ordinance then uh oha

3420
02:10:29,040 --> 02:10:31,840
is notified that uh they are not to

3421
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:34,400
issue any licenses in that jurisdiction

3422
02:10:34,400 --> 02:10:35,119
the

3423
02:10:35,119 --> 02:10:36,800
measure also requires that any such

3424
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,360
ordinance must be referred to the voters

3425
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,679
at the next general election which in

3426
02:10:41,679 --> 02:10:44,239
this case would be the november 2022

3427
02:10:44,239 --> 02:10:48,550
election next slide please

3428
02:10:48,560 --> 02:10:50,239
so this is a background you're very

3429
02:10:50,239 --> 02:10:52,320
familiar with on july 12th we had a work

3430
02:10:52,320 --> 02:10:54,800
session where the board provided some

3431
02:10:54,800 --> 02:10:56,960
direction to us to go ahead and pass

3432
02:10:56,960 --> 02:10:58,639
prepare an ordinance the board had first

3433
02:10:58,639 --> 02:11:02,000
reading of that ordinance on july 19th

3434
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:07,109
uh next slide please

3435
02:11:07,119 --> 02:11:09,199
so i want to turn it over to ms samantha

3436
02:11:09,199 --> 02:11:10,960
who can talk a little bit about the

3437
02:11:10,960 --> 02:11:13,360
health policy impacts

3438
02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:15,679
all right uh thank you mr carr uh for

3439
02:11:15,679 --> 02:11:17,119
the record again my name is marissa

3440

mantle i'm the interim director of

3441
02:11:18,719 --> 02:11:20,239
health and human services here with

3442
02:11:20,239 --> 02:11:21,760
washington county

3443
02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:24,719
um so as tom did a great job reviewing

3444
02:11:24,719 --> 02:11:27,199
measure 109 and noting the prior board

3445
02:11:27,199 --> 02:11:28,800
consideration of the work session on

3446
02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:30,880
july 12 and the first reading of

3447
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:34,239
ordinance 888 on july 19th so just a

3448
02:11:34,239 --> 02:11:36,239
brief high-level review of the policy

3449
02:11:36,239 --> 02:11:38,880
context for psilocybin services as

3450
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,760
stated in measure 109 a key purpose to

3451
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:44,639
legalize psilocybin services in oregon

3452
02:11:44,639 --> 02:11:46,880
is to expand therapeutic options for

3453
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:49,599
mental illness among adults and improve

3454
02:11:49,599 --> 02:11:51,199
the physical mental and social

3455
02:11:51,199 --> 02:11:53,679
well-being of all oregonians

3456
02:11:53,679 --> 02:11:55,760
psilocybin is a psychedelic substance

3457
02:11:55,760 --> 02:11:57,520
that has been used for medicinal and

3458
02:11:57,520 --> 02:11:59,679
religious purposes throughout history

3459
02:11:59,679 --> 02:12:01,760
and preliminary evidence from small

3460
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:03,520
clinical studies indicates that

3461
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:06,079
psilocybin may be effective and safe for

3462
02:12:06,079 --> 02:12:07,520
the treatment of some mental health

3463
02:12:07,520 --> 02:12:09,440
conditions in controlled settings and

3464
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:11,440
among select participants

3465
02:12:11,440 --> 02:12:13,360
measure 109 created the oregon

3466
02:12:13,360 --> 02:12:15,920
psilocybin advisory board which was

3467
02:12:15,920 --> 02:12:17,840
charged with advisory in the organ

3468
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:19,840
advising the oregon health authority

3469
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:21,760
regarding the safety and efficacy of

3470
02:12:21,760 --> 02:12:23,520
psilocybin in treating mental health

3471
02:12:23,520 --> 02:12:26,800
conditions a research subcommittee of

3472
02:12:26,800 --> 02:12:29,119
the oregon psilocybin advisory board was

3473
02:12:29,119 --> 02:12:30,880
tasked with a literature review for this

3474
02:12:30,880 --> 02:12:33,760
purpose and provided recommendations

3475
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:35,920
the evidence review by the subcommittee

3476
02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:38,079
cited that psilocybin may be effective

3477
02:12:38,079 --> 02:12:40,560
in reducing sub some substance use

3478
02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:43,119
disorders including problematic alcohol

3479
02:12:43,119 --> 02:12:45,920
and tobacco use and addiction was not

3480
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:48,159
listed as one of the risks cited in the

3481
02:12:48,159 --> 02:12:51,679
rapid evidence review by the org and by

3482
02:12:51,679 --> 02:12:53,040
the opab

3483
02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:56,550
all right next slide please

3484
02:12:56,560 --> 02:12:58,320
i think teresa cherniak is going to take

3485
02:12:58,320 --> 02:13:00,079
this one from that mistake

3486
02:13:00,079 --> 02:13:01,520
thank you tom

3487
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:02,719
um

3488
02:13:02,719 --> 02:13:05,520
so after january of this year the oregon

3489
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:07,599
health authority will begin accepting

3490
02:13:07,599 --> 02:13:09,920
applications for licenses that will

3491
02:13:09,920 --> 02:13:12,639
allow new types of land uses

3492
02:13:12,639 --> 02:13:15,280
including psilocybin manufacturing which

3493
02:13:15,280 --> 02:13:16,400
will need to

3494
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:19,360
happen indoors where the mushrooms to

3495
02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:21,119
make psilocybin will be grown and

3496
02:13:21,119 --> 02:13:22,159
processed

3497
02:13:22,159 --> 02:13:24,800
the psilocybin service centers which are

3498
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:26,800
the establishments where psilocybin will

3499
02:13:26,800 --> 02:13:29,280
be administered to clients and then the

3500
02:13:29,280 --> 02:13:32,079
testing facilities

3501
02:13:32,079 --> 02:13:34,400
where there's a new unique type of a

3502
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:36,960
land use like these usually land use and

3503
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:39,280
transportation staff first determine

3504
02:13:39,280 --> 02:13:41,520
whether it's like another use

3505
02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:45,360
and if not we undertake process to amend

3506
02:13:45,360 --> 02:13:47,280
the community development code

3507
02:13:47,280 --> 02:13:49,520
considering where the new uses might be

3508
02:13:49,520 --> 02:13:51,599
most appropriate and where they might

3509
02:13:51,599 --> 02:13:53,199
not be appropriate

3510
02:13:53,199 --> 02:13:55,440
for instance with psilocybin service

3511
02:13:55,440 --> 02:13:56,400
centers

3512
02:13:56,400 --> 02:13:57,760
we would consider whether they should be

3513
02:13:57,760 --> 02:14:00,239
allowed in residential areas and some

3514
02:14:00,239 --> 02:14:02,079
rural districts

3515
02:14:02,079 --> 02:14:04,239
we'd also then consider whether there

3516
02:14:04,239 --> 02:14:06,400
might be some appropriate standards to

3517
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:08,719
address any possible impacts from the

3518
02:14:08,719 --> 02:14:09,679
use

3519
02:14:09,679 --> 02:14:11,840
these might include things like distance

3520
02:14:11,840 --> 02:14:14,560
from sensitive schools or sensitive uses

3521
02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:16,880
like schools or other psilocybin

3522
02:14:16,880 --> 02:14:18,480
businesses

3523
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:20,719
requirements say for fencing of any

3524
02:14:20,719 --> 02:14:22,719
outdoor areas

3525
02:14:22,719 --> 02:14:24,719
security requirements or hours of

3526
02:14:24,719 --> 02:14:27,599
operation and then we'd consider what

3527
02:14:27,599 --> 02:14:30,000
type of land use review is appropriate

3528
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:31,760
for instance whether the uses were

3529
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:33,520
allowed outright

3530
02:14:33,520 --> 02:14:36,000
or needed a land use permit

3531
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:38,239
this is the approach that we took on

3532
02:14:38,239 --> 02:14:40,639
marijuana business regulations

3533
02:14:40,639 --> 02:14:42,239
which are included in our community

3534
02:14:42,239 --> 02:14:44,400
development code now and it would be the

3535
02:14:44,400 --> 02:14:46,480
clearest and most transparent approach

3536
02:14:46,480 --> 02:14:48,880
on the land use side of psilocybin

3537
02:14:48,880 --> 02:14:50,480
businesses

3538
02:14:50,480 --> 02:14:52,400
typically we don't develop our

3539
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:54,800
regulations until state rule making is

3540
02:14:54,800 --> 02:14:55,840
complete

3541
02:14:55,840 --> 02:14:58,239
since the rulemaking often will address

3542
02:14:58,239 --> 02:15:00,079
the various items we might include in

3543
02:15:00,079 --> 02:15:01,440
our regulations

3544
02:15:01,440 --> 02:15:04,000
so we take our cues from the rules and

3545
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:06,159
we we don't want to be inconsistent with

3546
02:15:06,159 --> 02:15:08,800
what the rules end up being because the

3547
02:15:08,800 --> 02:15:10,560
state hasn't yet started their

3548
02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:12,560
rulemaking for the service centers in

3549
02:15:12,560 --> 02:15:14,960
particular we haven't started developing

3550
02:15:14,960 --> 02:15:17,280
any local regulations

3551
02:15:17,280 --> 02:15:19,199
and that actually was not yet included

3552
02:15:19,199 --> 02:15:21,360
in our work program

3553
02:15:21,360 --> 02:15:24,229
next slide please

3554
02:15:24,239 --> 02:15:26,320
a few of the things that we do know now

3555
02:15:26,320 --> 02:15:28,960
that have land use implications

3556
02:15:28,960 --> 02:15:30,800
one is that the measure was unclear

3557
02:15:30,800 --> 02:15:32,960
about whether psilocybin businesses are

3558
02:15:32,960 --> 02:15:35,280
allowed in residential districts in the

3559
02:15:35,280 --> 02:15:37,920
unincorporated area it is clear about

3560
02:15:37,920 --> 02:15:39,119
cities

3561
02:15:39,119 --> 02:15:40,560
and the measure does say they aren't

3562
02:15:40,560 --> 02:15:42,960
allowed in a primary residence

3563
02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:44,639
but this would be likely one of those

3564
02:15:44,639 --> 02:15:47,520
items in our regulations to make clear

3565
02:15:47,520 --> 02:15:49,040
whether the businesses would be allowed

3566
02:15:49,040 --> 02:15:51,199
in residential districts

3567
02:15:51,199 --> 02:15:53,440
another is that the measure is that the

3568
02:15:53,440 --> 02:15:55,920
measure does allow reasonable time place

3569
02:15:55,920 --> 02:15:58,480
and manner regulations so again things

3570
02:15:58,480 --> 02:16:00,480
like where the uses are allowed and any

3571
02:16:00,480 --> 02:16:02,639
standards for operation

3572
02:16:02,639 --> 02:16:04,000
some of these are included in the

3573
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:06,639
measure but others are likely to be

3574
02:16:06,639 --> 02:16:09,440
developed through the rule making

3575
02:16:09,440 --> 02:16:11,280
and in a similar way when the

3576
02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:13,119
recreational marijuana measure passed

3577
02:16:13,119 --> 02:16:15,599
some years ago the county did determine

3578
02:16:15,599 --> 02:16:17,280
that some time place and mana

3579
02:16:17,280 --> 02:16:19,440
regulations were needed

3580
02:16:19,440 --> 02:16:22,239
and implemented a temporary ban while

3581
02:16:22,239 --> 02:16:24,079
the organ sorry

3582
02:16:24,079 --> 02:16:26,159
while the regulations were developed and

3583
02:16:26,159 --> 02:16:27,599
adopted

3584
02:16:27,599 --> 02:16:29,840
also similar to the marijuana uses the

3585
02:16:29,840 --> 02:16:31,679
measure requires us to provide a land

3586
02:16:31,679 --> 02:16:34,559
use compatibility statement or lux

3587
02:16:34,559 --> 02:16:37,120
for all of the psilocybin-related

3588
02:16:37,120 --> 02:16:39,040
license applications

3589
02:16:39,040 --> 02:16:41,760
when we fill out a lux we're certifying

3590
02:16:41,760 --> 02:16:43,599
whether the use is allowed in the

3591
02:16:43,599 --> 02:16:45,679
proposed location and whether there's a

3592
02:16:45,679 --> 02:16:48,000
required permit process

3593
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:50,639
without local definitions and time place

3594
02:16:50,639 --> 02:16:52,559
and mana regulations there could be

3595
02:16:52,559 --> 02:16:54,319
confusion over whether the uses are

3596
02:16:54,319 --> 02:16:56,880
allowed in different areas and potential

3597
02:16:56,880 --> 02:16:59,359
litigation over the code interpretations

3598
02:16:59,359 --> 02:17:01,760
that staff would end up making

3599
02:17:01,760 --> 02:17:03,840
these implications support the idea of a

3600
02:17:03,840 --> 02:17:06,000
temporary delay until state rules are

3601
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:07,840
known and there's time to develop any

3602
02:17:07,840 --> 02:17:10,080
appropriate regulations

3603
02:17:10,080 --> 02:17:11,439
with that

3604
02:17:11,439 --> 02:17:15,519
i will turn it back to mr carr

3605
02:17:15,519 --> 02:17:20,309
thank you mr next slide please

3606
02:17:20,319 --> 02:17:22,639
so the staff recommendation is to refer

3607
02:17:22,639 --> 02:17:23,920
a ballot measure to washington county

3608
02:17:23,920 --> 02:17:26,240
voters in november of this year to

3609
02:17:26,240 --> 02:17:28,960
temporarily opt out for a maximum of two

3610
02:17:28,960 --> 02:17:29,840
years

3611
02:17:29,840 --> 02:17:32,240
uh we don't recommend uh permanently

3612
02:17:32,240 --> 02:17:33,840
banning psilocybin business of course

3613
02:17:33,840 --> 02:17:37,040
when i say we i mean hhs and and uh lut

3614
02:17:37,040 --> 02:17:38,960
the county council has no recommendation

3615
02:17:38,960 --> 02:17:42,150
on this uh

3616
02:17:42,160 --> 02:17:43,200
this is a similar approach that the

3617
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:45,760
board took for marijuana um

3618
02:17:45,760 --> 02:17:47,920
the if the temporary opt-out is approved

3619
02:17:47,920 --> 02:17:50,000
the lut division department will begin

3620
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:51,439
legislative process to develop time

3621
02:17:51,439 --> 02:17:53,599
placement matter regulations next slide

3622
02:17:53,599 --> 02:17:59,349
please

3623
02:17:59,359 --> 02:18:01,519
next slide please oh there you go so

3624
02:18:01,519 --> 02:18:03,040
this is the timeline you introduced it

3625
02:18:03,040 --> 02:18:05,359
on july 19th today we're having a second

3626
02:18:05,359 --> 02:18:06,960
public reading uh

3627
02:18:06,960 --> 02:18:08,719
second reading and public hearing this

3628
02:18:08,719 --> 02:18:10,639
is an opportunity for the board to

3629
02:18:10,639 --> 02:18:12,719
direct any amendment or engrossment of

3630
02:18:12,719 --> 02:18:13,840
the ordinance

3631
02:18:13,840 --> 02:18:16,880
um on august 2nd if the board engrosses

3632
02:18:16,880 --> 02:18:18,719
the ordinance this evening then there'll

3633
02:18:18,719 --> 02:18:20,160
be a public hearing on the occult

3634
02:18:20,160 --> 02:18:21,200
ordinance

3635
02:18:21,200 --> 02:18:23,519
if not if there are no engrossments then

3636
02:18:23,519 --> 02:18:24,719
there will be a vote on the final

3637
02:18:24,719 --> 02:18:26,559
approval of the ordinance and a

3638
02:18:26,559 --> 02:18:28,559
resolution order uh if the ordinance is

3639
02:18:28,559 --> 02:18:30,319
approved resolution or

3640
02:18:30,319 --> 02:18:31,599
putting it on the ballot for the

3641
02:18:31,599 --> 02:18:34,080
november 8th 2022 election

3642
02:18:34,080 --> 02:18:36,830
uh next slide

3643
02:18:36,840 --> 02:18:39,120
please so these are the options we've

3644
02:18:39,120 --> 02:18:40,960
talked and you may have seen we've added

3645
02:18:40,960 --> 02:18:41,920
one

3646
02:18:41,920 --> 02:18:44,639
uh option one is reject the ordinance on

3647
02:18:44,639 --> 02:18:47,120
august 2nd no temporary opt-out

3648
02:18:47,120 --> 02:18:50,000
option two is take no action for now

3649
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:51,519
and defer action on the ordinance to

3650
02:18:51,519 --> 02:18:53,760
november or december at that point we

3651
02:18:53,760 --> 02:18:55,200
may have a better idea about what the

3652
02:18:55,200 --> 02:18:56,960
state's doing and then you could pass an

3653
02:18:56,960 --> 02:18:58,080
ordinance

3654
02:18:58,080 --> 02:19:00,399
uh if you pass an ordinance uh on in

3655
02:19:00,399 --> 02:19:02,639
november or december that ordinance

3656
02:19:02,639 --> 02:19:04,800
would effectively ban psilocybin

3657
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:06,559
businesses from being licensed effective

3658
02:19:06,559 --> 02:19:10,479
to august uh january 1st 2023

3659
02:19:10,479 --> 02:19:12,240
that ordinance would be referred to the

3660
02:19:12,240 --> 02:19:14,080
ballot at the next general election

3661
02:19:14,080 --> 02:19:17,040
which would be november 2024.

3662
02:19:17,040 --> 02:19:18,240
um

3663
02:19:18,240 --> 02:19:20,399
we are the staff is not recommending

3664
02:19:20,399 --> 02:19:22,559
this but we thought we'd tell you that

3665
02:19:22,559 --> 02:19:25,679
this is an option uh we expect that this

3666
02:19:25,679 --> 02:19:27,760
is untested although similar things were

3667
02:19:27,760 --> 02:19:30,000
done with marijuana um

3668
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:32,319
the the language of the the measure

3669
02:19:32,319 --> 02:19:35,519
appears to allow for this uh it

3670
02:19:35,519 --> 02:19:37,280
it could be contested

3671
02:19:37,280 --> 02:19:39,359
uh the recommendation is to approve the

3672
02:19:39,359 --> 02:19:41,120
ordinance on august seconds implement

3673
02:19:41,120 --> 02:19:42,639
this the temporary

3674
02:19:42,639 --> 02:19:44,160
two-year opt-out

3675
02:19:44,160 --> 02:19:46,319
uh option four is to engross the

3676
02:19:46,319 --> 02:19:48,479
ordinance today with either a shorter

3677
02:19:48,479 --> 02:19:50,319
longer period

3678
02:19:50,319 --> 02:19:52,800
or no sunset at all

3679
02:19:52,800 --> 02:19:54,399
so those are the four options next slide

3680
02:19:54,399 --> 02:19:57,349
please

3681
02:19:57,359 --> 02:20:02,950
that's it any questions

3682
02:20:02,960 --> 02:20:03,920
uh

3683
02:20:03,920 --> 02:20:07,439
i realized that

3684
02:20:07,439 --> 02:20:08,720
the packet

3685
02:20:08,720 --> 02:20:12,160
was not updated with this presentation

3686
02:20:12,160 --> 02:20:15,439
so commissioners i hope that

3687
02:20:15,439 --> 02:20:18,479
you have taken note of the definitions

3688
02:20:18,479 --> 02:20:25,030
of opt-out option one two three and four

3689
02:20:25,040 --> 02:20:27,359
i just downloaded the packet and checked

3690
02:20:27,359 --> 02:20:29,040
the packet again

3691
02:20:29,040 --> 02:20:31,520
once i noticed that it was different

3692
02:20:31,520 --> 02:20:34,640
from the prior version so

3693
02:20:34,640 --> 02:20:38,479
if you need just a moment to

3694
02:20:38,479 --> 02:20:40,240
write out what those options are for

3695
02:20:40,240 --> 02:20:42,800
yourself prior to the public hearing in

3696
02:20:42,800 --> 02:20:47,040
case folks mention the options

3697
02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:48,370
take a photo now

3698
02:20:48,370 --> 02:20:50,080
[Laughter]

3699
02:20:50,080 --> 02:20:53,830
it began

3700
02:20:53,840 --> 02:20:56,240
do you have any questions before we open

3701
02:20:56,240 --> 02:20:58,160
a public hearing go ahead vice chair

3702
02:20:58,160 --> 02:21:02,630
willie

3703
02:21:02,640 --> 02:21:06,070
well yeah this um

3704
02:21:06,080 --> 02:21:08,560
this frustrates me a little bit that i

3705
02:21:08,560 --> 02:21:11,600
just get this information at

3706
02:21:11,600 --> 02:21:13,760
nine o'clock

3707
02:21:13,760 --> 02:21:15,920
at night

3708
02:21:15,920 --> 02:21:19,680
uh with no advance notice

3709
02:21:19,680 --> 02:21:22,560
our last meeting

3710
02:21:22,560 --> 02:21:24,240
was

3711
02:21:24,240 --> 02:21:26,560
an ordinance that was written

3712
02:21:26,560 --> 02:21:31,840
to go to the voters for a two-year delay

3713
02:21:31,840 --> 02:21:35,439
and now we have option one two three and

3714
02:21:35,439 --> 02:21:38,550
four

3715
02:21:38,560 --> 02:21:41,590
and

3716
02:21:41,600 --> 02:21:44,630
i don't understand

3717
02:21:44,640 --> 02:21:46,720
why

3718
02:21:46,720 --> 02:21:49,200
this is now coming to us

3719
02:21:49,200 --> 02:21:53,349
at this particular point in time

3720
02:21:53,359 --> 02:21:54,720
so

3721
02:21:54,720 --> 02:21:56,160
i realize

3722
02:21:56,160 --> 02:21:58,720
chair that you and

3723
02:21:58,720 --> 02:22:00,880
commissioner trees

3724
02:22:00,880 --> 02:22:05,200
were opposed to this you wanted to adopt

3725
02:22:05,200 --> 02:22:07,439
um

3726
02:22:07,439 --> 02:22:10,399
the implementation of this on january 1

3727
02:22:10,399 --> 02:22:15,349
except the oha's

3728
02:22:15,359 --> 02:22:18,319
recommendations

3729
02:22:18,319 --> 02:22:20,840
i think there was

3730
02:22:20,840 --> 02:22:22,800
conversation by three of the

3731
02:22:22,800 --> 02:22:25,359
commissioners that had some concerns

3732
02:22:25,359 --> 02:22:30,550
about that and now we have four options

3733
02:22:30,560 --> 02:22:31,439
so

3734
02:22:31,439 --> 02:22:35,110
yeah this frustrates me

3735
02:22:35,120 --> 02:22:37,120
and again it's kind of a

3736
02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:38,880
blind side

3737
02:22:38,880 --> 02:22:42,950
proposal and um

3738
02:22:42,960 --> 02:22:44,880
i'd like to i'd like to hear more

3739
02:22:44,880 --> 02:22:46,479
conversation about

3740
02:22:46,479 --> 02:22:48,640
where this came from

3741
02:22:48,640 --> 02:22:51,040
i think if i might commissioner willie

3742
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:52,160
um

3743
02:22:52,160 --> 02:22:53,840
i understand

3744
02:22:53,840 --> 02:22:57,680
the difference between the three options

3745
02:22:57,680 --> 02:23:00,000
that i believe we had

3746
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:03,280
uh from our last meeting and today is

3747
02:23:03,280 --> 02:23:04,800
that

3748
02:23:04,800 --> 02:23:06,479
mr carr

3749
02:23:06,479 --> 02:23:08,960
has been clear

3750
02:23:08,960 --> 02:23:12,230
clear with us

3751
02:23:12,240 --> 02:23:13,439
about

3752
02:23:13,439 --> 02:23:16,469
what

3753
02:23:16,479 --> 02:23:18,640
option four is

3754
02:23:18,640 --> 02:23:19,520
uh

3755
02:23:19,520 --> 02:23:23,600
that with having an election

3756
02:23:23,600 --> 02:23:25,760
with no sunset

3757
02:23:25,760 --> 02:23:26,640
um

3758
02:23:26,640 --> 02:23:31,040
so i don't believe that options

3759
02:23:31,040 --> 02:23:33,200
oh

3760
02:23:33,200 --> 02:23:36,479
well maybe option two is new uh

3761
02:23:36,479 --> 02:23:38,080
maybe i have it wrong

3762
02:23:38,080 --> 02:23:40,399
let me stop there before i make the

3763
02:23:40,399 --> 02:23:42,240
situation worse

3764
02:23:42,240 --> 02:23:44,640
and mr carr if you could address

3765
02:23:44,640 --> 02:23:46,240
commissioner willie's question that

3766
02:23:46,240 --> 02:23:48,479
would be most helpful i should have

3767
02:23:48,479 --> 02:23:49,680
started you there and commissioner

3768
02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:52,000
william i do want to apologize this is

3769
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:55,680
something that uh we discussed on friday

3770
02:23:55,680 --> 02:23:56,960
and uh

3771
02:23:56,960 --> 02:23:59,760
as i said it's an option that if you

3772
02:23:59,760 --> 02:24:02,720
read the the technical language of the

3773
02:24:02,720 --> 02:24:05,520
measure it's allowable but it's never

3774
02:24:05,520 --> 02:24:07,280
been tested so it's not clear what a

3775
02:24:07,280 --> 02:24:08,960
court would do with this

3776
02:24:08,960 --> 02:24:10,080
um

3777
02:24:10,080 --> 02:24:12,800
so we it actually is in the packet and

3778
02:24:12,800 --> 02:24:16,240
chair i just checked um it this this

3779
02:24:16,240 --> 02:24:20,560
version got uploaded yesterday uh and so

3780
02:24:20,560 --> 02:24:22,880
we we worked on it on friday and

3781
02:24:22,880 --> 02:24:25,920
it was uploaded so and i apologize if we

3782
02:24:25,920 --> 02:24:28,160
should have done more to note that and

3783
02:24:28,160 --> 02:24:29,359
that's on us

3784
02:24:29,359 --> 02:24:32,000
uh okay so my question my question to

3785
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:35,200
you tom is who is we

3786
02:24:35,200 --> 02:24:37,200
are you say we worked this on friday i

3787
02:24:37,200 --> 02:24:40,000
was at naco

3788
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:40,880
so

3789
02:24:40,880 --> 02:24:43,280
mr roberts mr bovet

3790
02:24:43,280 --> 02:24:46,399
uh ms cherniak and i worked on this

3791
02:24:46,399 --> 02:24:49,359
friday and over the weekend

3792
02:24:49,359 --> 02:24:50,880
yeah okay so

3793
02:24:50,880 --> 02:24:56,389
so

3794
02:24:56,399 --> 02:24:59,600
my frustration is this that

3795
02:24:59,600 --> 02:25:01,439
first of all

3796
02:25:01,439 --> 02:25:03,680
there was that kind of conversation over

3797
02:25:03,680 --> 02:25:08,000
that period of time it is now tuesday

3798
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:12,080
this is the first time i've seen this

3799
02:25:12,080 --> 02:25:13,280
there's

3800
02:25:13,280 --> 02:25:15,439
number four

3801
02:25:15,439 --> 02:25:16,399
okay

3802
02:25:16,399 --> 02:25:19,680
uh there's number two

3803
02:25:19,680 --> 02:25:21,520
and i'm thinking i'm going to go into

3804
02:25:21,520 --> 02:25:23,680
this conversation tonight

3805
02:25:23,680 --> 02:25:27,120
with what we agreed upon

3806
02:25:27,120 --> 02:25:28,720
last week

3807
02:25:28,720 --> 02:25:31,120
in a three to two vote

3808
02:25:31,120 --> 02:25:33,840
that we would approve

3809
02:25:33,840 --> 02:25:34,960
number

3810
02:25:34,960 --> 02:25:38,000
three option number three and that's

3811
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:40,479
where we were going

3812
02:25:40,479 --> 02:25:42,560
now we have

3813
02:25:42,560 --> 02:25:44,640
four options

3814
02:25:44,640 --> 02:25:47,840
back on the table again

3815
02:25:47,840 --> 02:25:49,760
so commissioner willie

3816
02:25:49,760 --> 02:25:52,240
you all you did last week was was was

3817
02:25:52,240 --> 02:25:53,920
introduced on first reading that wasn't

3818
02:25:53,920 --> 02:25:55,920
an approval the approval can't come

3819
02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:58,080
until tuesday this is

3820
02:25:58,080 --> 02:25:59,840
another legal option that we're laying

3821
02:25:59,840 --> 02:26:01,760
out for you you don't need to vote on

3822
02:26:01,760 --> 02:26:03,520
this tonight unless you want to amend

3823
02:26:03,520 --> 02:26:06,160
the ordinance the vote would come next

3824
02:26:06,160 --> 02:26:08,319
tuesday so you have time to consider

3825
02:26:08,319 --> 02:26:09,920
this and i apologize and we're happy to

3826
02:26:09,920 --> 02:26:11,359
sit down and meet with you and discuss

3827
02:26:11,359 --> 02:26:13,680
this um it's this is just your staff

3828
02:26:13,680 --> 02:26:14,880
trying to make sure you have every

3829
02:26:14,880 --> 02:26:16,560
option in front of you before you have

3830
02:26:16,560 --> 02:26:18,399
to make a determination

3831
02:26:18,399 --> 02:26:20,479
i get that that's when i get that i get

3832
02:26:20,479 --> 02:26:21,600
that tom

3833
02:26:21,600 --> 02:26:24,479
i i understand that but not at nine

3834
02:26:24,479 --> 02:26:27,120
o'clock at night

3835
02:26:27,120 --> 02:26:29,760
in the public hearing okay

3836
02:26:29,760 --> 02:26:32,479
if you wanted to communicate with me

3837
02:26:32,479 --> 02:26:35,760
then you should have done it yesterday

3838
02:26:35,760 --> 02:26:36,720
okay

3839
02:26:36,720 --> 02:26:38,960
i don't like surprises no more than the

3840
02:26:38,960 --> 02:26:41,840
chair likes surprises

3841
02:26:41,840 --> 02:26:44,720
this is a surprise it's a significant

3842
02:26:44,720 --> 02:26:46,640
modification to what we talked about a

3843
02:26:46,640 --> 02:26:50,319
week ago and it doesn't bode well with

3844
02:26:50,319 --> 02:26:57,670
me

3845
02:26:57,680 --> 02:26:59,280
commissioner willie

3846
02:26:59,280 --> 02:27:05,270
um

3847
02:27:05,280 --> 02:27:09,120
there is only one change

3848
02:27:09,120 --> 02:27:10,479
in

3849
02:27:10,479 --> 02:27:11,840
the

3850
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:14,950
options

3851
02:27:14,960 --> 02:27:17,760
between last week's meeting and

3852
02:27:17,760 --> 02:27:18,800
what

3853
02:27:18,800 --> 02:27:21,040
we've seen display

3854
02:27:21,040 --> 02:27:23,520
so only one change but a significant

3855
02:27:23,520 --> 02:27:27,040
chair and quite frankly you opposed last

3856
02:27:27,040 --> 02:27:28,160
week's

3857
02:27:28,160 --> 02:27:29,600
ordinance

3858
02:27:29,600 --> 02:27:31,600
of a three to two vote you oppose that

3859
02:27:31,600 --> 02:27:33,920
and now we have

3860
02:27:33,920 --> 02:27:36,800
a modification

3861
02:27:36,800 --> 02:27:39,040
seems to me like there's some bait and

3862
02:27:39,040 --> 02:27:41,280
switch going on here and there's some

3863
02:27:41,280 --> 02:27:44,160
conversations going on behind the scenes

3864
02:27:44,160 --> 02:27:45,840
and then all of a sudden

3865
02:27:45,840 --> 02:27:47,439
tuesday night

3866
02:27:47,439 --> 02:27:48,960
we have

3867
02:27:48,960 --> 02:27:50,720
options

3868
02:27:50,720 --> 02:27:53,840
just doesn't feel very right to me

3869
02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:55,600
i'm sorry commissioner willie i think we

3870
02:27:55,600 --> 02:27:56,840
have a

3871
02:27:56,840 --> 02:28:00,160
misunderstanding what the position that

3872
02:28:00,160 --> 02:28:02,880
commissioner therese and i took

3873
02:28:02,880 --> 02:28:05,200
in the minority last week

3874
02:28:05,200 --> 02:28:06,960
was

3875
02:28:06,960 --> 02:28:10,319
with regard to continuing

3876
02:28:10,319 --> 02:28:11,359
through

3877
02:28:11,359 --> 02:28:14,479
the process the ordinance process

3878
02:28:14,479 --> 02:28:18,160
okay but on a vote of three to two

3879
02:28:18,160 --> 02:28:20,479
the board chose to continue with the

3880
02:28:20,479 --> 02:28:21,600
process

3881
02:28:21,600 --> 02:28:25,760
so now this is the process having

3882
02:28:25,760 --> 02:28:27,040
the

3883
02:28:27,040 --> 02:28:30,000
uh ordinance read

3884
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:31,680
and having

3885
02:28:31,680 --> 02:28:34,560
a public hearing tonight with the next

3886
02:28:34,560 --> 02:28:38,160
step of the process being

3887
02:28:38,160 --> 02:28:41,439
the decision next tuesday

3888
02:28:41,439 --> 02:28:42,960
whether or not

3889
02:28:42,960 --> 02:28:44,640
to adopt

3890
02:28:44,640 --> 02:28:46,240
an ordinance

3891
02:28:46,240 --> 02:28:49,359
the only variation on that is

3892
02:28:49,359 --> 02:28:52,399
we have an ordinance on the table right

3893
02:28:52,399 --> 02:28:54,720
ordinance 888

3894
02:28:54,720 --> 02:28:57,280
and if the board wishes to make those

3895
02:28:57,280 --> 02:29:00,000
changes in addition to having the public

3896
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:02,720
hearing tonight we would also have to

3897
02:29:02,720 --> 02:29:04,720
make a decision on any possible

3898
02:29:04,720 --> 02:29:06,479
engrossments

3899
02:29:06,479 --> 02:29:07,439
so

3900
02:29:07,439 --> 02:29:11,590
um

3901
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:14,000
there's still another option

3902
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:16,399
okay oh there's there's still another

3903
02:29:16,399 --> 02:29:18,800
option that has not been

3904
02:29:18,800 --> 02:29:20,399
discussed

3905
02:29:20,399 --> 02:29:22,399
at the commission level

3906
02:29:22,399 --> 02:29:24,640
prior to tonight and so

3907
02:29:24,640 --> 02:29:29,359
we're supposed to evaluate

3908
02:29:29,359 --> 02:29:32,080
um option four

3909
02:29:32,080 --> 02:29:34,319
with no sunset

3910
02:29:34,319 --> 02:29:36,399
we didn't talk about no sunset we talked

3911
02:29:36,399 --> 02:29:38,720
about a two-year sunset

3912
02:29:38,720 --> 02:29:40,080
option two

3913
02:29:40,080 --> 02:29:41,760
no action now

3914
02:29:41,760 --> 02:29:43,520
defer action on the ordnance till

3915
02:29:43,520 --> 02:29:46,000
november december that wasn't even on

3916
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:47,520
the docket

3917
02:29:47,520 --> 02:29:51,040
so no i'm sorry chair okay there's a lot

3918
02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:53,840
of variety in what our decision making

3919
02:29:53,840 --> 02:29:55,359
is supposed to be

3920
02:29:55,359 --> 02:29:57,760
tonight and next week

3921
02:29:57,760 --> 02:30:00,080
okay i i understand

3922
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:02,880
more clearly what you're saying okay and

3923
02:30:02,880 --> 02:30:05,840
i don't disagree with you at all

3924
02:30:05,840 --> 02:30:07,840
okay

3925
02:30:07,840 --> 02:30:08,960
um

3926
02:30:08,960 --> 02:30:12,319
commissioner uh commissioner mr carr i'm

3927
02:30:12,319 --> 02:30:13,520
sorry

3928
02:30:13,520 --> 02:30:15,840
i gave you the wrong title

3929
02:30:15,840 --> 02:30:18,000
i i i want to object to the bait and

3930
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:18,960
switch

3931
02:30:18,960 --> 02:30:21,120
that's not fair

3932
02:30:21,120 --> 02:30:22,720
we provided this to you at six o'clock

3933
02:30:22,720 --> 02:30:24,720
last night and i know it was late we're

3934
02:30:24,720 --> 02:30:26,479
just trying to do our jobs

3935
02:30:26,479 --> 02:30:28,560
seriously six o'clock last night tom

3936
02:30:28,560 --> 02:30:30,160
that that counts

3937
02:30:30,160 --> 02:30:31,359
okay

3938
02:30:31,359 --> 02:30:33,680
yeah okay so it won't be it's not a bait

3939
02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:36,160
and switch i don't mean to offend you by

3940
02:30:36,160 --> 02:30:37,840
the terminology

3941
02:30:37,840 --> 02:30:40,960
i will okay i apologize for that

3942
02:30:40,960 --> 02:30:42,880
but this defends me

3943
02:30:42,880 --> 02:30:43,680
okay

3944
02:30:43,680 --> 02:30:45,600
the fact that at nine o'clock at night

3945
02:30:45,600 --> 02:30:47,760
we're having this conversation

3946
02:30:47,760 --> 02:30:49,760
offends me

3947
02:30:49,760 --> 02:30:52,960
so i guess we're both equally offended i

3948
02:30:52,960 --> 02:30:54,960
apologize if i offended you with my

3949
02:30:54,960 --> 02:30:57,120
terminology but this

3950
02:30:57,120 --> 02:30:58,880
doesn't work

3951
02:30:58,880 --> 02:31:01,040
to be clear the only thing that was

3952
02:31:01,040 --> 02:31:03,280
added was option two we had three

3953
02:31:03,280 --> 02:31:04,960
options last week we added another

3954
02:31:04,960 --> 02:31:07,760
option which i think is legally

3955
02:31:07,760 --> 02:31:10,800
questionable but i included it at out of

3956
02:31:10,800 --> 02:31:13,120
an excess of caution if you want us to

3957
02:31:13,120 --> 02:31:14,880
take it out we can do that

3958
02:31:14,880 --> 02:31:17,359
uh but there's really very little reason

3959
02:31:17,359 --> 02:31:18,960
to insult your staff

3960
02:31:18,960 --> 02:31:20,960
and that's what you're doing

3961
02:31:20,960 --> 02:31:22,319
these are people who work really hard to

3962
02:31:22,319 --> 02:31:23,840
get this in front of you

3963
02:31:23,840 --> 02:31:26,319
and i think it's it's inappropriate

3964
02:31:26,319 --> 02:31:27,760
let's try and let's try and be clear

3965
02:31:27,760 --> 02:31:29,120
about this tom

3966
02:31:29,120 --> 02:31:30,319
there was no

3967
02:31:30,319 --> 02:31:32,880
implication that i was insulting the

3968
02:31:32,880 --> 02:31:34,000
staff

3969
02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:36,720
if you took offense to it i apologize to

3970
02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:37,439
it

3971
02:31:37,439 --> 02:31:38,240
okay

3972
02:31:38,240 --> 02:31:40,640
but it's not about staff

3973
02:31:40,640 --> 02:31:44,800
this is about communication

3974
02:31:44,800 --> 02:31:47,760
eyes wide open when i go into a public

3975
02:31:47,760 --> 02:31:50,479
hearing that i know what the hell we're

3976
02:31:50,479 --> 02:31:52,319
talking about

3977
02:31:52,319 --> 02:31:55,040
okay and i didn't

3978
02:31:55,040 --> 02:31:57,040
now you can say you said at six o'clock

3979
02:31:57,040 --> 02:32:00,319
last night well i was at a wea event

3980
02:32:00,319 --> 02:32:02,800
till nine o'clock last night okay so i'm

3981
02:32:02,800 --> 02:32:04,800
sorry i didn't pull it up and i didn't

3982
02:32:04,800 --> 02:32:06,960
look at it

3983
02:32:06,960 --> 02:32:09,760
i guess that's on me

3984
02:32:09,760 --> 02:32:11,359
but

3985
02:32:11,359 --> 02:32:15,510
this doesn't work

3986
02:32:15,520 --> 02:32:24,630
so we can move on

3987
02:32:24,640 --> 02:32:27,040
commissioner rogers

3988
02:32:27,040 --> 02:32:28,080
um

3989
02:32:28,080 --> 02:32:30,560
just for clarification

3990
02:32:30,560 --> 02:32:33,359
in adding option two have the options

3991
02:32:33,359 --> 02:32:35,760
been renumbered from what we approved

3992
02:32:35,760 --> 02:32:38,240
the last time so

3993
02:32:38,240 --> 02:32:40,319
so we're clear if we went with

3994
02:32:40,319 --> 02:32:42,319
it was we went with three is that two

3995
02:32:42,319 --> 02:32:45,510
last time

3996
02:32:45,520 --> 02:32:47,200
i just i'm sorry i don't have last two

3997
02:32:47,200 --> 02:32:49,760
was added between one and three

3998
02:32:49,760 --> 02:32:51,040
for me

3999
02:32:51,040 --> 02:32:53,520
two was added between one and three

4000
02:32:53,520 --> 02:32:55,200
it's really not nobody if we saw him

4001
02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:57,040
last last time

4002
02:32:57,040 --> 02:32:58,640
what would three have been numbered so

4003
02:32:58,640 --> 02:33:00,240
that we're consistent i i don't have

4004
02:33:00,240 --> 02:33:02,080
that from tom from three would have been

4005
02:33:02,080 --> 02:33:05,520
two okay that's what i want to know

4006
02:33:05,520 --> 02:33:07,200
but to be clear the ordinance hasn't

4007
02:33:07,200 --> 02:33:09,600
changed at all the ordinance still

4008
02:33:09,600 --> 02:33:11,760
incorporates option three

4009
02:33:11,760 --> 02:33:13,280
all we're doing is going over things

4010
02:33:13,280 --> 02:33:17,910
that ways you could change the ordinance

4011
02:33:17,920 --> 02:33:20,000
well madam chair i'm still in favor of

4012
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:22,160
what now is option three i guess it was

4013
02:33:22,160 --> 02:33:24,240
two last time so i was for the records

4014
02:33:24,240 --> 02:33:26,160
right trying to be clear so that we

4015
02:33:26,160 --> 02:33:27,520
don't sit there and say we're still in

4016
02:33:27,520 --> 02:33:29,920
favor of two two now has changed and two

4017
02:33:29,920 --> 02:33:31,680
or three and all that but

4018
02:33:31,680 --> 02:33:33,520
i i i'm still with the staff

4019
02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:35,840
recommendation yeah

4020
02:33:35,840 --> 02:33:38,720
and for the record what threw me is we

4021
02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:40,640
didn't get any indication that the

4022
02:33:40,640 --> 02:33:43,439
presentation changed

4023
02:33:43,439 --> 02:33:45,760
and it was done after

4024
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:49,680
the ordinary 3 p.m on monday deadline

4025
02:33:49,680 --> 02:33:53,200
so that the commission knew

4026
02:33:53,200 --> 02:33:55,439
to be prepared for the

4027
02:33:55,439 --> 02:33:57,439
presentation change

4028
02:33:57,439 --> 02:34:01,429
thank you mr carr for

4029
02:34:01,439 --> 02:34:03,920
making it clear that the ordinance

4030
02:34:03,920 --> 02:34:05,439
hasn't changed

4031
02:34:05,439 --> 02:34:06,399
uh

4032
02:34:06,399 --> 02:34:09,120
but we do know that we have an

4033
02:34:09,120 --> 02:34:11,359
additional option that had not been

4034
02:34:11,359 --> 02:34:16,560
previously covered so thank you for that

4035
02:34:16,560 --> 02:34:19,680
and i join commissioner willie uh in

mycologist and a professor at oregon

4065
02:35:30,319 --> 02:35:32,560
state university with over 15 years

4066
02:35:32,560 --> 02:35:34,720
experience including many high-profile

4067
02:35:34,720 --> 02:35:36,960
peer-reviewed publications i'm also the

4068
02:35:36,960 --> 02:35:38,479
mycologist and the co-chair of the

4069
02:35:38,479 --> 02:35:40,720
oregon psilocybin advisory board but

4070
02:35:40,720 --> 02:35:42,000
today i'm speaking to you as an

4071
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:43,359
oregonian

4072
02:35:43,359 --> 02:35:46,000
psilocybin is non-addictive safe it's a

4073
02:35:46,000 --> 02:35:47,439
naturally occurring medicine and

4074
02:35:47,439 --> 02:35:49,200
mushrooms with proven efficacy in

4075
02:35:49,200 --> 02:35:50,720
treating mental health conditions like

4076
02:35:50,720 --> 02:35:52,880
depression addiction

4077
02:35:52,880 --> 02:35:54,720
ptsd and anxiety

4078
02:35:54,720 --> 02:35:56,640
as evidenced by the recent fda

4079
02:35:56,640 --> 02:35:58,880
designation as a breakthrough therapy

4080
02:35:58,880 --> 02:36:00,960
this is not marijuana the production

4081
02:36:00,960 --> 02:36:03,040
process and biology of these organisms

4082
02:36:03,040 --> 02:36:05,040
is different than marijuana

4083
02:36:05,040 --> 02:36:07,280
however psilocybin is not a silver

4084
02:36:07,280 --> 02:36:09,359
bullet it won't work for everyone and we

4085
02:36:09,359 --> 02:36:11,840
take that reality very seriously

4086
02:36:11,840 --> 02:36:13,439
we summarize evidence for both the

4087
02:36:13,439 --> 02:36:15,200
efficacy and the potential negative

4088
02:36:15,200 --> 02:36:17,200
outcomes in a document that was

4089
02:36:17,200 --> 02:36:18,800
previously referred to as the rapid

4090
02:36:18,800 --> 02:36:20,399
evidence review it's available on the

4091
02:36:20,399 --> 02:36:22,640
psilocybin services website

4092
02:36:22,640 --> 02:36:24,479
i also personally summarize all the

4093
02:36:24,479 --> 02:36:26,439
biochemical mycological and

4094
02:36:26,439 --> 02:36:28,720
ethnomycological history of psilocybin

4095
02:36:28,720 --> 02:36:30,800
production and usage and open access

4096
02:36:30,800 --> 02:36:32,960

4097
02:36:32,960 --> 02:36:34,560

we as a board have put forward very

4100
02:36:37,520 --> 02:36:39,680
reasonable recommendations to the oha

4101
02:36:39,680 --> 02:36:41,040
and they've already put some of those

4102
02:36:41,040 --> 02:36:42,640
into rules through their expedited

4103
02:36:42,640 --> 02:36:44,319
rulemaking for training programs

4104
02:36:44,319 --> 02:36:47,040
products and testing licenses for

4105
02:36:47,040 --> 02:36:49,760
example of the over 200 species of fungi

4106
02:36:49,760 --> 02:36:51,920
that produce psilocybin we're going with

4107
02:36:51,920 --> 02:36:54,640
just one cylosophy cubensis we're not

4108
02:36:54,640 --> 02:36:56,399
doing synthetic psilocybin because we

4109
02:36:56,399 --> 02:36:58,160
don't have the oversight to meaningfully

4110
02:36:58,160 --> 02:37:00,479
regulate that process safely

4111
02:37:00,479 --> 02:37:02,560
all clients will be over 21 and will

4112
02:37:02,560 --> 02:37:05,040
undergo extensive screen and preparation

4113
02:37:05,040 --> 02:37:08,399
sessions this is not a dispensary model

4114
02:37:08,399 --> 02:37:09,840
and i recommended these guidelines

4115
02:37:09,840 --> 02:37:12,240
because i like you want to live work and

4116
02:37:12,240 --> 02:37:14,160
raise my family in a peaceful and safe

4117
02:37:14,160 --> 02:37:15,760
community that is free from illicit

4118
02:37:15,760 --> 02:37:16,880
activity

4119
02:37:16,880 --> 02:37:18,399
it's okay to have questions about this

4120
02:37:18,399 --> 02:37:19,600
approach because it's new and

4121
02:37:19,600 --> 02:37:21,760
transdisciplinary but as community

4122
02:37:21,760 --> 02:37:23,840
leaders we have a responsibility to help

4123
02:37:23,840 --> 02:37:26,080
address this mental health crisis so i

4124
02:37:26,080 --> 02:37:27,520
encourage you to think of the people who

4125
02:37:27,520 --> 02:37:29,600
might not make it those two years and i

4126
02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:31,920
encourage you not to opt out of of

4127
02:37:31,920 --> 02:37:34,479

my purpose in testifying today is to

4154
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:39,760
respectfully ask the county

4155
02:38:39,760 --> 02:38:42,319

4156
02:38:42,319 --> 02:38:44,880
seriously and terminally ill residents

4157
02:38:44,880 --> 02:38:47,760
when you discuss ordinance 888

4158
02:38:47,760 --> 02:38:50,800
i have never personally taken psilocybin

4159
02:38:50,800 --> 02:38:52,720
but i know there have been studies done

4160
02:38:52,720 --> 02:38:56,080
at johns hopkins and nyu showing very

4161
02:38:56,080 --> 02:38:58,160
promising results about the benefits of

4162
02:38:58,160 --> 02:39:00,880
psilocybin and improving symptoms of

4163
02:39:00,880 --> 02:39:03,359
depression and anxiety

4164
02:39:03,359 --> 02:39:05,920
among others the the improvements are

4165
02:39:05,920 --> 02:39:08,160
even after one single treatment and they

4166
02:39:08,160 --> 02:39:10,720
can last for many months more studies

4167
02:39:10,720 --> 02:39:12,479
will be done and need to be done but

4168
02:39:12,479 --> 02:39:14,960
these results already show the possible

4169
02:39:14,960 --> 02:39:17,200
benefits for persons who will need

4170
02:39:17,200 --> 02:39:20,000
palliative or hospice care please allow

4171
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:22,479

4172
02:39:22,479 --> 02:39:24,800
treatment thank you for this opportunity

4181
02:39:41,760 --> 02:39:45,120
um i've been a depressive my whole life

4182
02:39:45,120 --> 02:39:47,680
i suffer from

4183
02:39:47,680 --> 02:39:50,640
depression and anxiety

4184
02:39:50,640 --> 02:39:54,319
um in 2020 i had a lung cancer

4185
02:39:54,319 --> 02:39:57,120
surgery and um they took out half of my

4186
02:39:57,120 --> 02:39:58,319
left lung

4187
02:39:58,319 --> 02:40:00,800
and i got severely depressed

4188
02:40:00,800 --> 02:40:03,680
over that period of time for a year

4189
02:40:03,680 --> 02:40:04,800
and um

4190
02:40:04,800 --> 02:40:06,720
i just kept thinking

4191
02:40:06,720 --> 02:40:09,680
i wish i can't wait till 2023

4192
02:40:09,680 --> 02:40:12,319
for the psilocybin to be legal

4193
02:40:12,319 --> 02:40:14,160
here so

4194
02:40:14,160 --> 02:40:16,080
i just want all of you that need to know

4195
02:40:16,080 --> 02:40:17,760
more about

4196
02:40:17,760 --> 02:40:19,680
psilocybin to watch

4197
02:40:19,680 --> 02:40:21,680
the movie that's on netflix how to

4198
02:40:21,680 --> 02:40:23,120
change your mind

4199
02:40:23,120 --> 02:40:25,359
and look up paul's statements

4200
02:40:25,359 --> 02:40:27,439
and see his research

4201
02:40:27,439 --> 02:40:29,200
um

4202
02:40:29,200 --> 02:40:30,960
my

4203
02:40:30,960 --> 02:40:32,640
one of my friends i told about this

4204
02:40:32,640 --> 02:40:34,240
delay

4205
02:40:34,240 --> 02:40:36,160
she said people are gonna die

4206
02:40:36,160 --> 02:40:37,200
so

4207
02:40:37,200 --> 02:40:39,840
that's i know that sounds dramatic but

4208
02:40:39,840 --> 02:40:42,960
this can seriously help a lot of people

4209
02:40:42,960 --> 02:40:45,600
so i really urge you

4210
02:40:45,600 --> 02:40:48,160
to have no delay and do option one if i

4211
02:40:48,160 --> 02:40:49,840
read that correctly

4212
02:40:49,840 --> 02:40:52,319
and um

4213
02:40:52,319 --> 02:40:54,319
i wanted to add

4214
02:40:54,319 --> 02:40:57,920
that the ripple effect of psilocybin

4215
02:40:57,920 --> 02:41:00,720
could mean less people in the fancy

4216
02:41:00,720 --> 02:41:01,600
new

4217
02:41:01,600 --> 02:41:02,880
facility that they're building in

4218
02:41:02,880 --> 02:41:04,960
beaverton so

4219
02:41:04,960 --> 02:41:07,439
please um

4220
02:41:07,439 --> 02:41:11,910
don't take this decision lightly

4221
02:41:11,920 --> 02:41:12,880
um

4222
02:41:12,880 --> 02:41:14,160
i don't know it's really hard to talk

4223
02:41:14,160 --> 02:41:15,200
about

4224
02:41:15,200 --> 02:41:16,880

and with that we'll close tonight's

4240
02:42:00,399 --> 02:42:02,000
public hearing

4241
02:42:02,000 --> 02:42:03,520
uh

4242
02:42:03,520 --> 02:42:05,760
board members i

4243
02:42:05,760 --> 02:42:09,200
would refer us um

4244
02:42:09,200 --> 02:42:11,200
back to

4245
02:42:11,200 --> 02:42:13,520
the

4246
02:42:13,520 --> 02:42:15,200
presentation

4247
02:42:15,200 --> 02:42:16,080
um

4248
02:42:16,080 --> 02:42:16,960
the

4249
02:42:16,960 --> 02:42:18,160
options

4250
02:42:18,160 --> 02:42:21,600
on the presentation are

4251
02:42:21,600 --> 02:42:22,640
i think

4252
02:42:22,640 --> 02:42:25,190
um

4253
02:42:25,200 --> 02:42:26,720
a little

4254
02:42:26,720 --> 02:42:29,439
out of sync with the requested action

4255
02:42:29,439 --> 02:42:31,920
perhaps on the

4256
02:42:31,920 --> 02:42:35,200
packet table that i'm seeing before me

4257
02:42:35,200 --> 02:42:36,240
but

4258
02:42:36,240 --> 02:42:40,319
that could entirely be

4259
02:42:40,319 --> 02:42:47,269
my problem let me go back to

4260
02:42:47,279 --> 02:42:49,840
well i can't i have to clear

4261
02:42:49,840 --> 02:42:52,160
do an unusual clearing of the cache

4262
02:42:52,160 --> 02:42:55,600
which is ridiculously arduous so

4263
02:42:55,600 --> 02:42:56,560
anyway

4264
02:42:56,560 --> 02:42:57,680
um

4265
02:42:57,680 --> 02:42:59,040
what we

4266
02:42:59,040 --> 02:43:00,080
um

4267
02:43:00,080 --> 02:43:02,399
we've closed the public hearing i want

4268
02:43:02,399 --> 02:43:04,640
to make sure i'm doing these procedures

4269
02:43:04,640 --> 02:43:06,840
right

4270
02:43:06,840 --> 02:43:08,399
uh

4271
02:43:08,399 --> 02:43:11,120
what we need to decide tonight

4272
02:43:11,120 --> 02:43:15,279
is if we want to proceed next week with

4273
02:43:15,279 --> 02:43:20,479
ordinance 888 as it stands or do we wish

4274
02:43:20,479 --> 02:43:24,160
to entertain any changes to the

4275
02:43:24,160 --> 02:43:26,800
ordinance that would require us

4276
02:43:26,800 --> 02:43:29,680
to consider those and engross the

4277
02:43:29,680 --> 02:43:31,439
ordinance tonight

4278
02:43:31,439 --> 02:43:34,640
otherwise we will delay further decision

4279
02:43:34,640 --> 02:43:35,600
making

4280
02:43:35,600 --> 02:43:39,040
on the ordinance to next tuesday

4281
02:43:39,040 --> 02:43:40,640
uh

4282
02:43:40,640 --> 02:43:42,240
mr carr

4283
02:43:42,240 --> 02:43:44,640
uh i saw you raise your hand and then

4284
02:43:44,640 --> 02:43:45,520
not

4285
02:43:45,520 --> 02:43:47,760
but you're unmuted did i capture that

4286
02:43:47,760 --> 02:43:50,160
correctly yes that which is why i load

4287
02:43:50,160 --> 02:43:52,479
my hand sure okay that's correct

4288
02:43:52,479 --> 02:43:58,230
thank you sir uh vice chair willie

4289
02:43:58,240 --> 02:44:00,479
yes thank you chair i i just want to

4290
02:44:00,479 --> 02:44:02,560
make a couple of comments and then ask

4291
02:44:02,560 --> 02:44:04,479
uh for

4292
02:44:04,479 --> 02:44:07,830
a procedural

4293
02:44:07,840 --> 02:44:10,479
perspective so

4294
02:44:10,479 --> 02:44:15,510
we have heard from the voters that this

4295
02:44:15,520 --> 02:44:18,880
product needs to be available that is

4296
02:44:18,880 --> 02:44:22,160
not in question from my standpoint there

4297
02:44:22,160 --> 02:44:23,920
there isn't an option

4298
02:44:23,920 --> 02:44:25,520
to ban

4299
02:44:25,520 --> 02:44:27,920
this completely and we're not even

4300
02:44:27,920 --> 02:44:29,680
considering that

4301
02:44:29,680 --> 02:44:33,040
in regards to our

4302
02:44:33,040 --> 02:44:35,320
two-year

4303
02:44:35,320 --> 02:44:37,279
[Music]

4304
02:44:37,279 --> 02:44:40,800
deferral i really strongly believe it

4305
02:44:40,800 --> 02:44:43,279
will not be two years i think we need to

4306
02:44:43,279 --> 02:44:46,960
give our staff opportunity to evaluate

4307
02:44:46,960 --> 02:44:49,520
what the oha rules that come out we

4308
02:44:49,520 --> 02:44:52,319
haven't even seen them that and then an

4309
02:44:52,319 --> 02:44:56,960
opportunity for our lut department to

4310
02:44:56,960 --> 02:45:00,479
determine where we have siding available

4311
02:45:00,479 --> 02:45:03,120
so there's a lot of work that needs to

4312
02:45:03,120 --> 02:45:05,520
be done on this before we can implement

4313
02:45:05,520 --> 02:45:08,080
this and i'm just i think that's the

4314
02:45:08,080 --> 02:45:10,800
reason why i'm going with option three

4315
02:45:10,800 --> 02:45:12,800
because we need to take those things

4316
02:45:12,800 --> 02:45:14,640
into consideration

4317
02:45:14,640 --> 02:45:16,160
i heard

4318
02:45:16,160 --> 02:45:17,120
the

4319
02:45:17,120 --> 02:45:19,760
com i have compassion

4320
02:45:19,760 --> 02:45:22,240
for those who are testifying that they

4321
02:45:22,240 --> 02:45:23,680
need this

4322
02:45:23,680 --> 02:45:26,960
i understand that i am not opposing that

4323
02:45:26,960 --> 02:45:30,160
i'm just advocating that

4324
02:45:30,160 --> 02:45:33,279
as a county commissioner i believe we

4325
02:45:33,279 --> 02:45:35,760
need to make sure that we understand the

4326
02:45:35,760 --> 02:45:39,840
rules and that we are complying with the

4327
02:45:39,840 --> 02:45:42,960
guidelines that will be provided by the

4328
02:45:42,960 --> 02:45:45,040
state

4329
02:45:45,040 --> 02:45:48,000
so with all of that

4330
02:45:48,000 --> 02:45:51,040
chair i am concerned a little bit

4331
02:45:51,040 --> 02:45:53,120
that

4332
02:45:53,120 --> 02:45:56,160
commissioner therese is not here tonight

4333
02:45:56,160 --> 02:45:57,680
and she was

4334
02:45:57,680 --> 02:46:00,399
obviously um

4335
02:46:00,399 --> 02:46:03,120
in opposition to option three

4336
02:46:03,120 --> 02:46:06,720
uh i don't want this to be a

4337
02:46:06,720 --> 02:46:08,880
i don't know possibly a two to two

4338
02:46:08,880 --> 02:46:11,279
tonight so how do we go about making

4339
02:46:11,279 --> 02:46:14,720
sure that commissioner therese is heard

4340
02:46:14,720 --> 02:46:17,840
in her vote next let me let me ally your

4341
02:46:17,840 --> 02:46:19,520
fears

4342
02:46:19,520 --> 02:46:20,960
okay

4343
02:46:20,960 --> 02:46:22,960
you're correct that there are four of us

4344
02:46:22,960 --> 02:46:26,080
here tonight i vote last

4345
02:46:26,080 --> 02:46:27,279
and

4346
02:46:27,279 --> 02:46:29,840
i am in agreement

4347
02:46:29,840 --> 02:46:31,120
that

4348
02:46:31,120 --> 02:46:32,880
a decision

4349
02:46:32,880 --> 02:46:34,160
should be made

4350
02:46:34,160 --> 02:46:35,840
next week

4351
02:46:35,840 --> 02:46:36,960
okay

4352
02:46:36,960 --> 02:46:39,200
so i am in no way

4353
02:46:39,200 --> 02:46:40,319
uh

4354
02:46:40,319 --> 02:46:42,080
i don't have a need

4355
02:46:42,080 --> 02:46:43,120
to

4356
02:46:43,120 --> 02:46:44,640
exercise

4357
02:46:44,640 --> 02:46:47,840
my political power and influence through

4358
02:46:47,840 --> 02:46:50,399
my vote of one

4359
02:46:50,399 --> 02:46:51,520
okay

4360
02:46:51,520 --> 02:46:53,359
uh i

4361
02:46:53,359 --> 02:46:56,960
and i've made accommodations to attend

4362
02:46:56,960 --> 02:46:58,960
next week's meeting even though i'm on

4363
02:46:58,960 --> 02:47:00,080
vacation

4364
02:47:00,080 --> 02:47:00,880
so

4365
02:47:00,880 --> 02:47:01,920
um

4366
02:47:01,920 --> 02:47:05,120
let me allay your fears okay okay yeah

4367
02:47:05,120 --> 02:47:06,720
thank you i just wanted to make sure

4368
02:47:06,720 --> 02:47:10,160
tonight was to have the public hearing

4369
02:47:10,160 --> 02:47:12,640
and to decide if

4370
02:47:12,640 --> 02:47:15,359
the board thinks there is a need to make

4371
02:47:15,359 --> 02:47:18,840
changes to ordinance 888 and do an

4372
02:47:18,840 --> 02:47:21,120
engrossment okay

4373
02:47:21,120 --> 02:47:21,920
i

4374
02:47:21,920 --> 02:47:25,040
am choosing to not exercise

4375
02:47:25,040 --> 02:47:29,279
the option as you recognize to toward

4376
02:47:29,279 --> 02:47:32,840
having a decision opportunity next

4377
02:47:32,840 --> 02:47:35,920
tuesday okay all right yes thank you for

4378
02:47:35,920 --> 02:47:38,080
that and again i was mostly

4379
02:47:38,080 --> 02:47:39,600
um

4380
02:47:39,600 --> 02:47:41,520
considerate of trying to be considerate

4381
02:47:41,520 --> 02:47:43,680
of commissioner therese she's not here

4382
02:47:43,680 --> 02:47:46,000
tonight but i wanted to make sure we

4383
02:47:46,000 --> 02:47:48,560
heard her vote as well so thank you for

4384
02:47:48,560 --> 02:47:52,630
that

4385
02:47:52,640 --> 02:47:55,040
okay commissioners

4386
02:47:55,040 --> 02:47:58,240
do any of you have a need to consider

4387
02:47:58,240 --> 02:47:59,920
any

4388
02:47:59,920 --> 02:48:02,560
changes to ordinance 888 that would

4389
02:48:02,560 --> 02:48:04,640
require us to have

4390
02:48:04,640 --> 02:48:09,269
consideration of those and engrossment

4391
02:48:09,279 --> 02:48:12,000
i'm not seeing anyone have any

4392
02:48:12,000 --> 02:48:13,439
indication

4393
02:48:13,439 --> 02:48:14,560
all right

4394
02:48:14,560 --> 02:48:15,439
so

4395
02:48:15,439 --> 02:48:17,040
um

4396
02:48:17,040 --> 02:48:18,640
mr carr

4397
02:48:18,640 --> 02:48:22,000
just to make sure i do this right

4398
02:48:22,000 --> 02:48:23,920
especially since

4399
02:48:23,920 --> 02:48:24,720
uh

4400
02:48:24,720 --> 02:48:27,600
some of these options uh involve time is

4401
02:48:27,600 --> 02:48:29,439
of the essence if i could use that

4402
02:48:29,439 --> 02:48:34,150
phrase

4403
02:48:34,160 --> 02:48:35,600
the ordinance

4404
02:48:35,600 --> 02:48:38,560
that is in our current packet

4405
02:48:38,560 --> 02:48:39,760
i believe

4406
02:48:39,760 --> 02:48:42,840
that is reflective of the staff

4407
02:48:42,840 --> 02:48:44,479
recommendation

4408
02:48:44,479 --> 02:48:45,279
uh

4409
02:48:45,279 --> 02:48:48,070
to

4410
02:48:48,080 --> 02:48:50,880
implement and opt out an election with a

4411
02:48:50,880 --> 02:48:53,279
two-year sunset

4412
02:48:53,279 --> 02:48:55,200
am i correct on that

4413
02:48:55,200 --> 02:48:58,560
that is correct yes okay thank you

4414
02:48:58,560 --> 02:49:02,640
um so we don't need to take any

4415
02:49:02,640 --> 02:49:05,040
let me double check my sheet of paper do

4416
02:49:05,040 --> 02:49:08,319
we need to uh take an action

4417
02:49:08,319 --> 02:49:09,359
uh

4418
02:49:09,359 --> 02:49:12,160
to move the draft ordinance forward for

4419
02:49:12,160 --> 02:49:13,920
next tuesday

4420
02:49:13,920 --> 02:49:15,279
no you could move to continue

4421
02:49:15,279 --> 02:49:17,040
consideration but it's already scheduled

4422
02:49:17,040 --> 02:49:17,840
so

4423
02:49:17,840 --> 02:49:19,040
i'll move to continue would probably be

4424
02:49:19,040 --> 02:49:21,439
the appropriate motion okay let's do

4425
02:49:21,439 --> 02:49:22,720
