  Potential amendment to the Housing Adjustment Compliance Project to address zoning code application in the right-of-way
  Amendment to be considered by City Council with the full Recommended Draft package at a public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 2 p.m.
  Mayor Wheeler will introduce an amendment for City Council consideration at the upcoming public hearing on the Housing Adjustment Compliance Project scheduled to start at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
  Generally, Portland's Zoning Code does not apply to work in the right-of-way. However, there are a few exceptions, when the work in the right-of-way is in an overlay zone such as the design, historic, greenway, or environmental overlay zones. In those cases, the zoning code applies in addition to City Code Title 17, Public Improvements. The intent is for the regulations in those overlay regulations to apply to that work, not all zoning regulations. However, the code is not clear on which parts of the zoning code should apply. The amendment narrows the application of the zoning code to these situations, rather than applying the entire code when work is performed in the right-of-way.
  This amendment addresses an issue that was raised during the review of the replacement of the Burnside Bridge.
  The City Council will consider this amendment at the public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 30 starting at 2 p.m. along with the other recommendations from the Housing Adjustment Compliance Project, which amends the City’s Zoning Code to allow adjustments to a range of development standards that impact minimum lot sizes, maximum heights, bike parking locations and cottage cluster standards. The Recommended Draft of the Housing Adjustment Compliance Project is available for review and public testimony is welcome.
  For more about the Recommend Draft and how to give your testimony to City Council, read the Oct. 11 announcement.

  October 2024 | Edition 10
  Welcome to the October edition of City Insider!
  Portland’s historic city election is less than two weeks away! Are you ready? If you want a crash course (or refresher) in ranked-choice voting, check out the community town hall hosted by our transition team this month.
  And be sure to join city leaders for our next employee town hall, from 3 to 4 p.m. next Monday, Oct. 28. You’ll get updates on the city’s financial outlook, upcoming budget process, labor relations landscape and election preparations.
  In This Edition:
  City leaders: Budget, labor relations reaching key milestones
  This week, city leaders shared updates about the city’s upcoming budget process and labor negotiations. With expenses growing faster than revenues, Mayor Ted Wheeler asked most services to develop concepts for cutting at least 5 percent from their budgets. Those targets do not account for any new spending, including money committed to three active labor negotiations that will establish pay, benefits and working conditions for 2,000 employees.

  City Insider goes weekly in mid-November, replaces BHR Bulletin
  If you love the City Insider, you're in luck! Your favorite newsletter will start coming out weekly in mid-November, replace the BHR Bulletin - and serve as the primary digital newsletter for the city’s workforce.

  We are excited to amplify the most impactful citywide work, improve shared knowledge, dialogue and engagement, and foster transparency.
  Thanks for making the City Insider your one-stop-shop for employee news and events. See you next month (and every week after that)!

subject: SE 37th Avenue and Holgate Sewer Project Update: November 11, 2024
body:
  The SE 37th Avenue and Holgate Sewer Project is a part of the City of Portland's Urgent System Capacity (USC) Program. The project will upsize and extend a combined sewer mainline and divert eastbound sewer flows from pre-existing maintenance holes onsite. The combined sewer system that serves the area now is under-capacity and in need of significant upgrades. Since 2015, many properties using the system have repeatedly reported basement sewer backups due to extreme storm events.
  Project Area
  Project repairs and replacements will take place on SE 37th Avenue between SE Holgate Boulevard and SE Long Street.
  The simplified map above displays where sewer and stormwater improvements will be made for the SE 37th Avenue & Holgate Sewer Project. Please note, this map is not up to scale.
  What's Happening Now?
  Nightwork was completed last week and crews to return to daytime work hours. The City contractor thanks all neighbors for their patience while crews complete storm crossings installation and mainline sewer replacement through open trench excavation. Once pipe conditions are approved, crews will begin sidewalk repair and paving restoration.
  Crews will work with residents and service deliverers to secure local access only. The traveling public should expect minor traffic delays.
  All work is weather dependent, and subject to change due to contractor availability.
  Rest of this Week:
  Daytime work hours are Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the following location:
  -
  SE 37th Ave between SE Holgate Blvd & Long St — Crews to complete inspection of pipes through CCTV surveillance. Once finished, crews to clear work zone of all debris, contaminated soil, and other pollutants to start paving northside of sidewalk.
  Veterans’ Day Closure
  While construction work continues this day, please note that some City of Portland offices and facilities will be closed on Monday, November 11 due to the observance of the Veterans’ Day holiday.
  Weeks of November 18 and 25:
  Daytime work hours are Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the following location:
  -
  SE 37th Ave between SE Holgate Blvd & Long St — Crews to set form, pour concrete, and pave northside of sidewalk.
  Holiday Moratorium
  Construction will temporarily pause from Thursday, November 21, 2024, to Thursday, January 2, 2025. The City of Portland does not allow routine construction work or work requiring the closing of streets, sidewalks, or parking lane portions of the public right of way (ROW) during observed winter holidays.

from: Portland City Auditor <Portland.Auditor@info.portland.gov>
subject: City Auditor introduces new independent and impartial review: the Audit Impact Report
body:
  PORTLAND, OR - City Auditor Simone Rede introduced a new kind of independent and impartial review today — the Audit Impact Report — designed to inform Portlanders about their City government. The report highlights progress the City has made to implement audit recommendations from the last five years. The City has implemented under half of the audit recommendations, below the average rate of other comparable cities, as of 2023.
  The report offers insights to City leadership as a new form of government takes shape. It identified coordination as the key barrier to implementing audit recommendations. This involves managing internal collaboration that, unlike other obstacles, is within City leadership’s control. For example, our audit of sewer maintenance found the decades-old partnership between two bureaus has had mixed results and comes with inefficiencies that cost ratepayers.
  The report also identifies equity issues for the City to address through audit recommendations. For example, providing equal opportunity to use and benefit from a service is central to having an equitable City government, something we found needing more attention during our audit of the City’s emergency planning and response for people with disabilities.
  “Reporting the status of recommendations presents a shared opportunity for my Office and City leadership to measure our collective performance,” Auditor Rede said. “I’m committed to publishing this report each year. I invite City leaders and community members to use information in the report to drive improvements as our City government evolves.”
  The report notes that the City Auditor’s audit mandate remains the same during this time of unprecedented change to City government. The new form of government will require auditors to make new relationships with City leadership. Going forward, the city administrator — rather than a member of City Council — will be responsible for responding to audit recommendations.
  Six areas and four types of inequities for City leadership to focus on as it implements audit recommendations can be found in the full report.
  Details by service area, bureau, and audit can be found in our updated Recommendation Status Dashboard.

  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">PORTLAND, OR - City Auditor Simone Rede introduced a new kind of independent and impartial review today — the Audit Impact Report — designed to inform Portlanders about their City government. The report highlights progress the City has made to implement audit recommendations from the last five years. The City has implemented under half of the audit recommendations, below the average rate of other comparable cities, as of 2023.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">The report offers insights to City leadership as a new form of government takes shape. It identified coordination as the key barrier to implementing audit recommendations. This involves managing internal collaboration that, unlike other obstacles, is within City leadership’s control. For example, our audit of sewer maintenance found the decades-old partnership between two bureaus has had mixed results and comes with inefficiencies that cost ratepayers.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">The report also identifies equity issues for the City to address through audit recommendations. For example, providing equal opportunity to use and benefit from a service is central to having an equitable City government, something we found needing more attention during our audit of the City’s emergency planning and response for people with disabilities.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">“Reporting the status of recommendations presents a shared opportunity for my Office and City leadership to measure our collective performance,” Auditor Rede said. “I’m committed to publishing this report each year. I invite City leaders and community members to use information in the report to drive improvements as our City government evolves.”</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">The report notes that the City Auditor’s audit mandate remains the same during this time of unprecedented change to City government. The new form of government will require auditors to make new relationships with City leadership. Going forward, the city administrator — rather than a member of City Council — will be responsible for responding to audit recommendations.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">Six areas and four types of inequities for City leadership to focus on as it implements audit recommendations can be found in the full report.</p>

  Potential amendment to the Rose Quarter Sign Code project
  Amendment to be considered by City Council with the full Recommended Draft package at a public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 2:45 p.m.
  Mayor Wheeler will introduce an amendment for City Council consideration at the upcoming public hearing on the Rose Quarter Sign Code Project scheduled to start at 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
  The proposed amendment adjusts the limit on signs that face the Interstate 5 freeway and are within 100 feet of the freeway right-of-way. The current recommendation limits individual signs to 200 square feet in these situations. The amendment expands this limit for an individual sign up to 1,000 square feet. The expansion allows greater flexibility for signage along the east wall of the Moda Center while still maintaining some limitation.
  The City Council will consider this amendment at a public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 30 starting at 2:45 p.m. along with the other recommendations for amending the City’s Sign Code, Title 32. The project is intended to provide greater flexibility for a variety of signage in a newly created Rose Quarter Entertainment sign district. The Recommended Draft of the Rose Quarter Sign Code Project is available for review and public testimony is welcome.
  For more about the Recommend Draft and how to give your testimony to City Council, read the Oct. 11 announcement.

from: Portland City Auditor <Portland.Auditor@info.portland.gov>
subject:
  Auditor’s Office finds Rene Gonzalez violated City’s campaign finance law by accepting 18 contributions over Charter-mandated limits, assesses penalty.

body:
  Yesterday, the City of Portland Auditor’s Office issued a determination following an investigation into a complaint that Rene Gonzalez’s campaign, Rene for Portland, violated campaign finance law. The Office finds the campaign in violation for accepting funds from several contributors over the City Charter-mandated contribution limits totaling a $3,060 overage. As a result of the violations, the Office assesses the Rene for Portland campaign a penalty of three times the unlawful contribution, or $9,180.
  On October 17, 2024, the Elections Office, a Division within the Auditor’s Office, received a complaint alleging that Rene Gonzalez’s campaign had violated Portland’s campaign finance law — which is enforced by the Auditor’s Office — by receiving dozens of unlawful contributions. The complaint included a detailed spreadsheet of transaction with information downloaded from the statewide campaign finance database (ORESTAR).
  Rene for Portland and multiple contributors found in violation
  The City’s Charter limits amounts and sources of candidate contributions. Candidates can receive, and contributors can make, only the following contributions: 1) up to $579 from individuals or political committees, 2) any amount participating candidates in the City’s Small Donor Elections program allows, and 3) any amount from qualifying “Small Donor Committees.” After receiving the complaint, the Auditor’s Office conducted a thorough investigation. The Auditor’s Office reviewed the transactions, confirmed their veracity, and considered Rene for Portland’s and several contributors’ responses to its inquiries. As described in the determination letter, the Auditor’s Office concluded that the Rene for Portland campaign accepted several contributions in violation of the Charter’s $579 limit, ranging from $21 to $841 over the limit. The unlawful contributions total $3,060.
  These unlawful contributions were not otherwise allowed by the City’s Small Donor Elections Program and were repeated in nature. In addition, while all of the unlawful contributions were refunded, they were not refunded during the 7-day grace period that City regulations extend to campaigns and contributors. Instead, the campaign took weeks or months to refund the unlawful contributions, with the longest period being 223 days after the unlawful contribution.
  In addition, several contributors violated the City Charter’s limits by giving more than $579 to the Rene for Portland campaign and are assessed the minimum penalty under City Charter — which is two times the amount of the unlawful contribution. Contributors were all first-time violators of the City’s campaign finance law.
  Other transactions highlighted by complainant not in violation
  Several other transactions highlighted by the complainant and listed in the determination letter were found not to be in violation. In contrast to the above contributions, these sets of transactions span a time both before and after Rene Gonzalez was a participating candidate in Small Donor Elections program. Taken in aggregate, the contributions are over the Charter-mandated limit, but taken individually, the second set of contributions was found to be allowable by the City’s Small Donor Elections program and therefore allowable under City Charter. As discussed in the determination letter, for this set of transactions, none of the contributors giving to the campaign were found in violation nor was the Rene for Portland campaign in violation for receiving them.
  Penalty reflects repeated nature of violations, resources available to the Rene for Portland campaign
  The Auditor’s Office finds that the repetitive nature of the violations along with the campaign’s access to numerous resources throughout the elections cycle requires an increased penalty from two to three times the amount of the unlawful contributions.
  The Auditor’s Office offers free trainings to candidates and the public on the City ‘s campaign finance law, and publishes a campaign finance manual on its website that is regularly updated. In its trainings, the Auditor’s Office strongly encourages candidates to educate their own donors about contribution limits so that donors do not violate the law.
  “Campaign finance limits were initiated and approved by Portland voters in 2018 by a wide margin. Ultimately, it is every campaign’s duty to comply with the City Charter’s campaign finance regulations and issue timely refunds when a campaign receives an unlawful contribution. We urge all campaigns to take financial bookkeeping seriously to avoid putting their campaigns and contributors at risk.” said Deborah Scroggin, Elections Division Manager.

The Office finds the campaign in violation for accepting funds from several contributors over the City Charter-mandated contribution limits totaling a $3,060 overage. As a result of the violations, the Office assesses the Rene for Portland campaign a penalty of three times the unlawful contribution, or $9,180.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">On October 17, 2024, the Elections Office, a Division within the Auditor’s Office, received a complaint alleging that Rene Gonzalez’s campaign had violated Portland’s campaign finance law — which is enforced by the Auditor’s Office — by receiving dozens of unlawful contributions. The complaint included a detailed spreadsheet of transaction with information downloaded from the statewide campaign finance database (ORESTAR).</p>
  <h2 style="line-height: 1.2; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; color: #000000; text-align: left; margin: 0 0 17px;" align="left"><strong>Rene for Portland and multiple contributors found in violation</strong></h2>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">The City’s Charter limits amounts and sources of candidate contributions. Candidates can receive, and contributors can make, only the following contributions: 1) up to $579 from individuals or political committees, 2) any amount participating candidates in the City’s Small Donor Elections program allows, and 3) any amount from qualifying “Small Donor Committees.” After receiving the complaint, the Auditor’s Office conducted a thorough investigation. The Auditor’s Office reviewed the transactions, confirmed their veracity, and considered Rene for Portland’s and several contributors’ responses to its inquiries.  As described in <a href="https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.portland.gov%2Fauditor%2Felections%2Fdocuments%2F2024-09-rg-notice-determination-gonzalez%2Fdownload%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/2/010001932c69d0d1-d15ec7ad-f118-457b-97a5-605a02e05592-000000/xjbXksmea3ymlis3u6WlKOz2N2KEcc3HSMAzyLewPsc=379" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #4573f7;">the determination letter</a>, the Auditor’s Office concluded that the Rene for Portland campaign accepted several contributions in violation of the Charter’s $579 limit, ranging from $21 to $841 over the limit. The unlawful contributions total $3,060.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">These unlawful contributions were not otherwise allowed by the City’s Small Donor Elections Program and were repeated in nature. In addition, while all of the unlawful contributions were refunded, they were not refunded during the 7-day grace period that City regulations extend to campaigns and contributors.  Instead, the campaign took weeks or months to refund the unlawful contributions, with the longest period being 223 days after the unlawful contribution.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">In addition, several contributors violated the City Charter’s limits by giving more than $579 to the Rene for Portland campaign and are assessed the minimum penalty under City Charter — which is two times the amount of the unlawful contribution. Contributors were all first-time violators of the City’s campaign finance law.</p>
  <h2 style="line-height: 1.2; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; color: #000000; text-align: left; margin: 0 0 17px;" align="left"><strong>Other transactions highlighted by complainant not in violation</strong></h2>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">Several other transactions highlighted by the complainant and listed in the determination letter were found not to be in violation. In contrast to the above contributions, these sets of transactions span a time both before and after Rene Gonzalez was a participating candidate in Small Donor Elections program. Taken in aggregate, the contributions are over the Charter-mandated limit, but taken individually, the second set of contributions was found to be allowable by the City’s Small Donor Elections program and therefore allowable under City Charter. As discussed in the determination letter, for this set of transactions, none of the contributors giving to the campaign were found in violation nor was the Rene for Portland campaign in violation for receiving them.</p>
  <h2 style="line-height: 1.2; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; color: #000000; text-align: left; margin: 0 0 17px;" align="left"><strong>Penalty reflects repeated nature of violations, resources available to the Rene for Portland campaign</strong></h2>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">The Auditor’s Office finds that the repetitive nature of the violations along with the campaign’s access to numerous resources throughout the elections cycle requires an increased penalty from two to three times the amount of the unlawful contributions.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">The Auditor’s Office offers free trainings to candidates and the public on the City ‘s campaign finance law, and publishes a campaign finance manual on its website that is regularly updated. In its trainings, the Auditor’s Office strongly encourages candidates to educate their own donors about contribution limits so that donors do not violate the law.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">“Campaign finance limits were initiated and approved by Portland voters in 2018 by a wide margin. Ultimately, it is every campaign’s duty to comply with the City Charter’s campaign finance regulations and issue timely refunds when a campaign receives an unlawful contribution. We urge all campaigns to take financial bookkeeping seriously to avoid putting their campaigns and contributors at risk.” said Deborah Scroggin, Elections Division Manager.</p>

  Did you know the City of Portland has 87 advisory bodies? These advisory bodies are made up of Portlanders who volunteer their time and expertise to inform City projects, policies, and practices.
  Civic Life houses the Advisory Bodies Program, which provides training and resources for advisory body members, ensures advisory bodies follow and uphold their rules and bylaws, and manages recruitment information for open positions.
  The program is currently performing an inventory of the City’s advisory bodies to be able to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information to the new Engagement Officer and the 12 new City Councilors. The program is also testing a new process to make applying for an advisory body faster and easier.
  To date in 2024, the Advisory Bodies Program has helped manage 399 applications to fill 110 vacant positions.
  The most popular advisory bodies this year?
  - Bicycle Advisory Committee – 51 applications
  - Portland Advisory Committee on Housing – 38 applications
  - Golf Advisory Committee – 33 applications
  Check out the list of open positions at the end of this newsletter to learn more and apply!

  Policies by Youth, for Youth
  Each year, the Multnomah Youth Commission (MYC) kicks off their work with a 3-day, 2-night retreat. New and returning MYC members come together to learn about City and County government; get acquainted with MYC work and expectations; build foundations and common understanding of justice, equity, and inclusion; and get to know each other through team- and trust-building activities.
  “The planned activities are valuable for setting our intentions and the tone for the work we do and to build our advocacy skills,” said MYC Co-Chair Aditi Subramaniam. “The unplanned moments are critical to creating bonds between members.”
  A couple of the main goals of each year’s retreat include setting that year’s Norms and getting familiar with each of the subcommittees’ priorities.
  The MYC’s three subcommittees are Youth Against Violence, Education/Youth Voice, and Transportation Equity and Environmental Advocacy. This year, the committees’ priorities include:
  - Ed./Voice – Advocating for later school start times to improve health and academic outcomes for students.
  - YAV – Using data from a recent survey about how safe students feel in school to advocate for new and improved safety measures and build better relationships with law enforcement.
  - TEEA – Advocating for a free, region-wide youth pass for public transportation and working with the Oregon Community Foundation to provide $5,000 of grant funding to environmentally-focused organizations.
  The Norms are agreements that the commissioners make with each other about how to conduct their work and how to treat their fellow commissioners. The MYC Norms for this year include:
  - Listen with intention.
  - Critique the idea, not the person.
  - Understand your privilege and know how and when to use it.
  “I love being a cochair and nurturing that environment and helping create a space where everyone feels they belong,” said MYC Co-Chair Toby Ortega. “There’s not many spaces outside of MYC where you can find that.”

  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 10px;">“The planned activities are valuable for setting our intentions and the tone for the work we do and to build our advocacy skills,” said MYC Co-Chair Aditi Subramaniam. “The unplanned moments are critical to creating bonds between members.”</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 10px;">A couple of the main goals of each year’s retreat include setting that year’s Norms and getting familiar with each of the subcommittees’ priorities.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 10px;">The MYC’s three subcommittees are Youth Against Violence, Education/Youth Voice, and Transportation Equity and Environmental Advocacy. This year, the committees’ priorities include:</p>
  <ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
  <li style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0px;">Ed./Voice – Advocating for later school start times to improve health and academic outcomes for students.</li>
  <li style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px;">YAV – Using data from a recent survey about how safe students feel in school to advocate for new and improved safety measures and build better relationships with law enforcement.</li>

The MYC Norms for this year include:</p>
  <ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
  <li style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0px;">Listen with intention.</li>
