General Operating Support grants provide essential resources to local arts organizations, which offer a wide range of activities and creative outputs—from theater and art classes to dance performances and free community concerts. The funding also supports arts education in classrooms and a one-time rental subsidy for all grantees who are frequent users of the City-owned Portland’5 Centers for the Arts venues. We're thrilled to invest in these arts organizations and the positive impacts they have on communities across Portland. | | City Council passes resolution to establish performing arts venues workgroup On the heels of the passage of the Keller resolution earlier this month, today the Portland City Council passed a resolution to establish a performing arts workgroup to explore opportunities and challenges to both immediate and long-term operations, maintenance, and planning of the City-owned Portland'5 Centers for the Arts venues. The resolution also directs the study of alternative operational models for the P'5 arts facilities. | | A brand new Arts & Culture brand 🤩 If you’ve been receiving the Office of Arts & Culture newsletter for a while, you may notice that this one looks a little different.

They analyzed 95 million traffic stop records from 21 state patrol and 35 municipal police forces that were filed from 2011 to 2018.

The project will modernize equipment, increase system capacity, and help protect public health and the environment. Schedule The project is in the design phase. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2026 and it will take about two years to complete. Project Map The existing pump station is located on NE 105th Avenue north of NE Marx Street. The City of Portland has acquired a property North of the existing pump station (at 5635 NE 105th) where we will construct the new pump station. The new location has plenty of space for the upgraded pump station to be installed and will provide safe parking for BES Operations and Maintenance needs. Simplified map for the Sellwood Sewer Extension Project. Please note - this map is not to scale. What's Happening Now The project is currently in the design phase. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2026 and take about two years to complete.Throughout the design process, project team members will visit the area and collect information via survey, locating underground utilities, and taking soil samples. To prepare for construction, crews will demolish an existing storage structure at 5635 NE 105th and secure the site until project work begins. Activities will be limited to the existing pump station, property at 5635 NE 105th, and the immediate surroundings. What is a Pump Station? Sewage, which is 99 percent water, flows downhill, and gravity is the main force that moves sewage through pipes. However, in low-elevation areas or where sewage needs to go uphill, pump stations push the sewage up so that gravity can take over again. Portland has nearly 100 pump stations with large underground tanks (also known as wet wells) in low-elevation areas. Pump stations are equipped with specialized pipes that are built to handle the force of sewage being pushed through them. Pump stations also have equipment tha… |

Millions of dollars in technology supports interactions between Portlanders and their City government. City staff in all bureaus depend on technology to deliver services. But, according to the audit, technology purchases were fragmented and often delayed. Auditors recommended the City Administrator and the Bureau of Technology Services develop a strategy to coordinate bureaus’ technology purchases. “Now that the City government is transitioning to the new mayor-council form of government, the City Administrator and other City leaders have an opportunity to improve buying technology and enhance coordination and accountability for bureaus.” Auditor Rede said. “Community members rely on City technology working well so they can participate in all City services.” The audit also looked at whether technology purchases followed equity commitments. Auditors found that the City did not track how much technology it bought from historically disadvantaged businesses. The audit said that more guidance was needed to support language accessibility and ensure access for people with disabilities. Federal law and City policy require technology purchases to meet these commitments. | | | | |

On Oct. 30, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the Planning Commission recommendation to amend the zoning code as part of the Housing Adjustment Compliance Project. In addition, the Commissioners considered a technical amendment brought forward by the Mayor’s office that clarified how the zoning code applies in the right-of-way. After listening to verbal testimony from eight individuals and considering the written testimony on the proposal, the City Council moved forward to adopt the Recommended Draft with the one amendment under Emergency Ordinance No. 191942. The adopted regulations will take effect on Jan. 1, 2025. Background The Housing Adjustment Compliance Project amends several sections in Portland’s Zoning Code, Title 33, to comply with Senate Bill 1537 (SB 1537), especially Sections 38 and 39 of the bill, which were adopted by the State in May. SB 1537 requires local jurisdictions to allow applicants to request adjustments to a variety of development and design standards. Jurisdictions must either apply the state language directly to a development review, incorporate the bill’s language into their local zoning codes, or request a state exemption if their existing local zoning code and process achieves the same principle. With the proposed amendments to Portland’s Zoning Code, any current prohibitions on adjustments addressed by the bill are temporarily lifted to allow an adjustment or modification until Jan. 2, 2032. Some of the standards addressed in the proposed amendments include minimum lot size and dimension standards, maximum height thresholds, bike parking locations, and some middle housing provisions. In most cases, the adjustment allowance is limited to the amount of variation dictated by SB 1537, although height adjustments in Centr… |

The original study was inconclusive due to the small data sample, so Stanford University led a repeat of the analysis. They analyzed 95 million traffic stop records from 21 state patrol and 35 municipal police forces that were filed from 2011 to 2018.

We are exploring what a redeveloped advisory body might look like and how it might function. We need your help and feedback! We want to hear what’s important to our communities as to what a cannabis advisory body should be doing, who should be on it, what powers might it have, and how can it best respond to community needs. Throughout 2014-2015, the City of Portland Cannabis Program held several town halls to engage with community members and stakeholders in order to receive feedback on the set of proposed regulations for newly legalized adult-use cannabis businesses in Portland city limits. Later, in 2016, the Cannabis Policy Oversight Team was created as a public advisory body made up of industry representatives, advocates, and community members to advise the Cannabis Program and provide recommendations on City cannabis policies. In November 2022, Ballot Measure 26-228 was approved by Portland voters and initiated large systemic changes in the way the City government operates. There is a need to readjust the way the CPOT advisory body functions so that it can be more focused, powerful, and accountable in the new form of city government. The purpose of this round of community engagement is to inform an act of City Council in 2025 that will re-create a CPOT as a type I advisory body with legislative authority reporting to a City Administrator or Deputy City Administrator. We need to hear from stakeholders to ensure that a future advisory body on cannabis represents community values, seeks the right membership, and creates a framework for effective action. Please offer your feedback through the link below by Friday, December 13. If you have questions, please contact Cannabis Program Policy Coordinator Phil Keim at phil.ke… |

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.

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.

| 50 | 50 | 2024-11-14T20:42:32+00:00 | Portland City Auditor <Portland.Auditor@info.portland.gov> | Auditor’s Office finds Rene Gonzalez violated City’s campaign finance law by accepting 18 contributions over Charter-mandated limits, assesses penalty. | 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.

Vision Zero is Portland’s initiative to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injury crashes. Since its adoption by the City Council in 2016, the Bureau has aimed to reduce crashes, but recent years have seen an alarming rise in fatalities. The Bureau outlined strategies in its Vision Zero Action Plan to make streets safer, particularly for pedestrians. These included implementing projects designed to protect pedestrians crossing streets, reducing speeds citywide, and designing streets to better protect human lives, all while prioritizing safety improvements in areas where underserved and vulnerable populations overlap with most crashes. While the Bureau reported completing some actions related to these strategies, auditors found it needs to systematically evaluate whether completed safety projects are effectively reducing fatalities and serious injuries. Auditors recommended the Bureau create a plan to tie safety projects to expected outcomes. These completed projects should be systematically evaluated to determine effectiveness and where Vision Zero efforts are most needed. To aid in increased street safety auditors also recommended installing promised speed cameras. Finally, auditors recommended the Bureau incorporate more data sources to help identify smaller-scale improvements that could have positive equity impacts. “Street safety is one of the most pressing issues facing the City of Portland,” Auditor Rede said. “The Transportation Bureau must evaluate safety projects to see which are working best at reducing traffic deaths and serious injuries to zero.” | |

My name is Ta' Neshia Renaè and I serve as a member of the N/NE Oversight Committee, a dedicated and engaging group of professionals whose work is guided by the N/NE Housing Strategy. For me, this work is fulfilling because it aligns with my deep-rooted belief that housing is a fundamental right and not a privilege. Housing stability is at the core of building a thriving, sustainable community, and I am proud to be part of a team that shares this passion. As we prepare for the colder months ahead, my heart is especially with those experiencing houselessness. No one should have to face the bitter cold without the safety and security of a home. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to continue advocating for policies and practices that ensure access to safe, stable housing for everyone – and my colleagues and I on the N/NE Oversight Committee are committed to working hand-in-hand with our Housing Strategy partners to address the challenges of rising home prices, interest rates, and rents. The struggle is real, but our resolve is stronger. I feel an immense sense of gratitude -- for being part of the N/NE Oversight Committee, for the work we’ve done, and because I’ve been able to achieve homeownership myself through the N/NE Preference Policy. This holiday season I look forward to enjoying special moments and creating memories with my loved ones. This strengthens my commitment to ensuring that others in our community have the same opportunity to create a safe and warm space to call home.

The CO-LED program brings together community and healthcare organizations using human centered design to solve multi-sector problems, like the digital divide. The summit celebrated the success of participants in Cohort 1, who developed a number of innovative and highly culturally specific digital literacy programs such as computer classes now being held by Adelante Mujeres and trainings by community health workers at IRCO. The City of Portland participated as a sponsoring organization of CO-LED, supplying tablets to the participants. The second cohort of CO-LED will launch in January 2025. This year's summit was focused on digital health as health services and practitioners are increasingly using digital platforms and virtual visits. Recognizing that these tools and form of service can be barriers for marginalized communities/lower income earners, health care practitioners and community organizations have moved to respond to these needs. Through this celebration of digital equity practitioners and health care professionals there was an opportunity to share and learn about the work and efforts being made to support health equity, and to work together to think about potential answers to the barriers being created by the increased use of technology to access healthcare services.

Crews also began work to temporarily widen the east side of Altman Road to help manage traffic during upcoming pipeline construction, including installation of new PHWD water mains later this year. In November, we expect to start concrete work at the facility site. We’ll also begin construction of the pipeline tunnel that will run more than 200 feet underground from the existing infrastructure in Lusted Road to the facility site. | Partnering with PHWD As part of the Bull Run Filtration Project, the Water Bureau is partnering with Pleasant Home Water District (PHWD) to improve local water infrastructure and coordinate construction activities and customer notifications. PHWD has been a wholesale customer of the Water Bureau since the 1940s and receives its entire supply from the Bull Run source. The twin profiles of PHWD’s green water storage tanks are a familiar sight on the southern border of the Water Bureau’s filtration facility property, and many project neighbors get their drinking water from PHWD. As part of project construction, the Water Bureau’s contractors will install nearly 5,000 linear feet of new PHWD six- and eight-inch water mains later this year. The new location for the water mains, in the Altman Road and Lusted Road right-of-way, will clear space and reduce potential conflicts with planned Water Bureau pipelines. The new PHWD water mains will be made of modern ductile iron, and steps will be taken during installation to i… |

On October 14, 2024, the City Elections Division, a Division within the Auditor’s Office, issued a complaint alleging that Sarah Silkie’s campaign had violated Portland campaign finance law – which is enforced by the Auditor’s Office – for not disclosing required disclaimer information on a campaign advertisement circulated in a local newspaper, The Bee. Silkie is a candidate for City Council for District No. 4 in the November 5, 2024, General Election. The Elections Division issued the complaint after receiving notification from Silkie that the disclaimer had been unintentionally omitted from the advertisement. When the Auditor’s Office has reason to believe that a City Charter campaign finance violation has occurred, it is required to issue a complaint. After an investigation, the Election’s Division found evidence of two violations of campaign finance regulations. All communications requiring a disclaimer must include the name(s) of all political committees, individuals, or entities that paid to either provide or present the communication and the names of the top five dominant contributors. The Elections Officer determined that the Portlanders for Sarah Silkie campaign advertisement did not comply with the disclaimer requirements by omitting both the political committee and its dominant contributor. The Auditor’s Office and has issued a Letter of Warning and Education for the campaign’s self-reporting, cooperation, and lack of previous violations, as detailed in the determination letter. More information about the City’s campaign regulations can be found in City Charter Chapter 3, Article 3 Section 3-303 and Portland City Code Title 2, Chapter 2.10.030.

| 88 | 88 | 2024-10-21T15:02:01+00:00 | Portland City Auditor <Portland.Auditor@info.portland.gov> | Rene Gonzalez violated City’s campaign finance law by using City funds for Wikipedia edits, City Auditor’s Office determines after evaluating new evidence. | Today, the City of Portland Auditor’s Office issued a redetermination in a campaign finance investigation involving Rene Gonzalez and finds a violation from an unlawful campaign contribution. The reissued determination follows an investigation into a complaint that Rene Gonzalez allegedly violated the City’s campaign finance law. The Auditor’s office assesses a civil penalty to the Rene for Portland campaign in the amount of $2,400, which will be deposited into the City’s general fund. Initial determination found an exceedingly close call On August 16, 2024, the Elections Division, within the Auditor’s Office, received a complaint alleging that Rene Gonzalez, who is both a candidate for mayor and a City Commissioner, had violated Portland’s campaign finance law by accepting an unlawful contribution. The complaint contended that Gonzalez had spent $6,400 in City of Portland funds to edit the “Rene Gonzalez (politician)” Wikipedia page in connection with Gonzalez’s run for mayor. After receiving the complaint, the Auditor’s Office conducted an initial investigation. The Auditor’s Office then issued an Initial Determination on September 16, 2024 (the deadline required by City law), which concluded that Gonzalez’s office spent $6,400 of City funds to retain an independent contractor (WhiteHatWiki) to assist it in creating eight edits for the “Rene Gonzalez (politician)” Wikipedia page and that these were submitted to Wikipedia in June 2024. However, the Auditor’s Office also concluded at the time that there was insufficient evidence to find a violation of the City’s campaign finance law. The Initial Determination also noted that this was an exceedingly close call, and that the Auditor’s Office had not received all of the documents it had requested in the course of its investigation. New evidence reveals violation, as found in redetermination The Auditor’s Office subsequently received additional evidence that altered its conclusions. Accordingly, the Auditor’s Office has re-issued its determination and finds that Gonz… |

We have some exciting news to share with you... On September 18, 2024, Portland City Council approved a contractor to oversee construction on the Thompson Elk Fountain restoration. Contractors will be sourcing the granite from the same quarry in Barre, Vermont, that supplied the granite for the original fountain. Masons will match the new pieces to the historic base. Construction is within budget and scheduled to be completed in 2025. Water conservation In addition to restoring the fountain and returning the elk statue, this project will install a recirculating water pump to improve the fountain’s water efficiency. Recirculating the water in the fountain will save up to 18,720 gallons of water per day, which adds up to more than 6.8 million gallons per year. The amount of water saved will be enough to supply about 146 homes each year. Follow us! The Portland Water Bureau is committed to serving excellent water every minute of every day.

What's Happening Now Over the next few weeks, crews are scheduled to install cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) lining to repair mainline public sewer pipes. They will also conduct closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections of pipes, including those yet to be repaired and those recently repaired throughout the project area. Visit the project webpage for details about these activities. Construction may be noisy, require temporary removal of on-street parking, create traffic delays, and temporarily restrict sidewalk crossings in the work zones. Local access to businesses and parking garages will be maintained. Look-Ahead Schedule The schedule below may change due to several factors, including weather, subcontractor schedules, materials supply, underground conditions, impacts of other nearby construction projects, and other unforeseen circumstances. Note that all sewer repairs are currently scheduled to occur during daytime hours. However, future CIPP lining may be done at night in some locations where levels of sewage and stormwater flows in the pipes are lower and less likely to negatively impact the lining. We will provide notice of those locations when they are determined. REST OF THIS WEEK Crews will conduct CCTV inspections and CIPP lining during daytime hours between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. This work is expected to take one day each at the following location: - SW Jefferson Street between SW 10th Avenue and SW 11th Avenue: The south lane of SW Jefferson Street will be closed. - SW Park Avenue at SW Columbia Street: SW Park Avenue will be closed between SW Jefferson Street and SW Columbia Street.

Members will be review and read through the draft of the recommendation, then discuss any changes or edits that should be made to the document. PCCEP has been exploring ways that PPB can build trust in the community. They believe implementing the Veil of Darkness analysis will not only continue PPB's work for equitable policing, but also enhance the relationship between the Portland Police Bureau and the communities it serves. In addition to the work with the Veil of Darkness recommendation, PCCEP will be discussing the City election results so far, and how it might affect the Committee in the future. There will also be a brief discussion about action items and possible recommendation ideas stemming from last month's Full Committee Meeting and the Normandale Park incident. The floor will open for the community to give feedback and public comment as well. "Veil of Darkness" refers to a term and idea that was developed during a study completed in 2006 that compared the race of 8,000 drivers in Oakland, California, who were stopped at any time of day or night over a six-month period. The original study was inconclusive due to the small data sample, so Stanford University led a repeat of the analysis. They analyzed 95 million traffic stop records from 21 state patrol and 35 municipal police forces that were filed from 2011 to 2018. Their findings "indicate that police stops and search decisions suffer from persistent racial bias and point to the value of policy interventions to mitigate these disparities."
