The mayor is currently at a uh conference and will not be here this evening.

Uh we can start with roll call.

Start with you, Council Platt.

Steve Platt.

Megan Norris, she here.

Megan Perkins, she her.

Mike Riley.

Are you amended?

Gina Kenzof, she here.

Thanks.

And the first item tonight is our quarterly council goal update.

And we're starting.

I'm gonna kick it off.

Um, and just I know it's downpouring lightning, thunder, so we're all a little bit on guard right now as we are experiencing some major weather.

Um so just excuse us if we have to step out of the room.

There has been some fires that have started as a result of this lightning.

So I just only need to be really vigilant right now as uh we're moving through this.

So just wanted to say that up front.

Um the purpose for tonight is to provide a concise progress report in all six full areas, uh a handful of highlights from the past quarter, as well as a preview of some council touch points that are heading your way over the next quarter.

We're gonna uh keep the goal by goal recap at a pretty high level and then move into a deeper look at the council dashboard uh that Jesse will help us uh move through, as well as a more focused update on housing and permanent activity and process improvement updates uh that we'll dive much deeper into with uh Russ Grayson uh Melissa Camania and team.

And then finally we'll conclude with some final touches of our new proposed council schedule that will begin in September, along with some changes to the format, and we'll see some handouts in front of you that will walk through uh timing and posting, things like that, as well as some considerations for uh the actual action items and slowing down a few items just in concert with just workload volumes right now.

So just for everybody uh everybody's benefit, we have a much more detailed progress report that is updated uh online.

Uh folks can check out and dive into our approximately 50 or so action items.

Uh we're not we don't have time to go through all of that, just hitting the high points here.

This is our scorecard.

Um it rolls up every action across the six-floor area, so as you can see, 77% are on schedule, 14% complete, and 9% are off schedule.

Uh we're gonna talk specifically about a housing off schedule, which is really related to that high-level goal.

And we want to dive a little lot deeper into that in that next section, so I want to save our time for that.

Uh bottom line, the portfolio is fairly healthy and moving forward.

Many of the accomplishments that we're gonna highlight might seem obvious from the past quarter, but I think it's really important to take a moment and just talk about the significance of the work that you all have done as council, some really big policy lifts over the past quarter.

Um, and I as I will talk about, we are seeing the emerging trends of a slowing pipeline of housing permits, uh, which is causing concern that we're we're gonna go into more detail here in a bit.

All right, it's just what's ahead over the next quarter.

Uh, you're gonna see some goals returned to you around our accessible and effective government.

That's tonight with the pro housing permit times.

More work on the pro housing group that's gonna happen in September with our affordable housing advisory committee, and we'll talk about that here in a moment.

Uh, the climate resiliency goal area, wildfire resiliency defensible space is in October.

And our urban tree canopy plan, which is another great um activity that's involves a lot of volunteers.

We've been sharing about that.

That'll be shared with you in November.

We will be talking about aspects of the tree code in September as well, along with uh in concert with the employment readiness program, which we'll be discussing pieces of those with our developer round table that was uh set for August 30th, alongside the neighborhood commercial, and then just other touch points between our development community and city council policymakers about how we can make sure that we're uh in sync.

And then economic prosperity comes back to you on uh September 2nd.

Uh goal areas related to our our um assistance programs and revenue policy.

And then moving forward on the uh with housing, we will see a pro housing, I'm sorry, at the home committee recommendations coming to you on August 12th.

We have two growth plan workshops.

It's actually September 13th and the 23rd, uh, two kind of half-day retreats those should be on your calendar.

The next quarterly goal update will be traffic and safety.

So uh will involve law enforcement component to it.

You'll be will be receiving a deeper dive into the activity around automated traffic enforcement and enforcement in general, alongside um uh crash data and um some of the efforts that I think are top of mind with council goals.

And uh transportation infrastructure, the CIP update that's coming before you on September 9th, it's multi-pronged.

So it's a part two from the conversation we had in May, where we're looking at the use of the geo bond and uh framing questions that we can then propose to the new transportation mobility advisory committee around use of ODOT funds that are in the geobond alongside other kind of big projects over the next couple of years, how we might prioritize that work and what questions we want to get input on.

I also want to use that opportunity to talk about Greenwood and the data that we're seeing.

Now we have another year with Greenwood, and then also revisit the only eighth intersection that was brought up to roundabout versus signal and additional data that we'll have to share with council then.

Umward with the now the highlights with the goal areas.

Starting off with accessible and effective government, um, we had a reference to our one city initiative in the council goals.

It's really more of an internal process.

Um, it's it's this is refreshing our mission, vision, and values, and really setting our shared organizational priorities.

Um, why we've been doing this now is it's really in concert with our evolving community needs, our resource constraints, and really just changing in how we work.

So we have an opportunity to operate as one city that guides our work together, strengthening our cross-departmental culture, and aligning priorities across departments.

That's really the kind of the theme behind this revised mission, vision, and values.

We've just released this internally uh the last couple of weeks, um, uh just to kind of anchor our our values here.
