Staff Report and Project Updates

The meeting began with a staff report delivered remotely due to the staff member being under the weather. Key updates included the approval of two new dwelling units in July and an overview of ongoing projects. The staff member highlighted the recent FEMA Biologic Opinion workshops and the city's need to adopt pre-implementation compliance measures to remain in good standing with the National Flood Insurance Program. Three options were presented: prohibiting development within the special flood hazard area, adopting the model ordinance, or establishing a permit-by-permit review.

Additionally, the city is seeking funding from ODOT's Community Paths 2020 for a construction grant, which could provide up to six million dollars in phased requests. The Lake Lytle project, funded by an OPRD grant, is also progressing. The current restroom facilities will be demolished and replaced with new ADA-compliant ones. The project has cleared reviews with the State Historic Preservation Office and local tribes, and cost estimates for archaeological surveys are expected soon.
