08:38MANAGEMENT STRATEGY.

08:40>> COLLEAGUES, YOU KNOW, THIS

08:42IS OUR LONG ANTICIPATED

08:43CITYWIDE ASSET MANAGEMENT

08:44STRATEGY. IT'S HERE ALMOST

08:48COMPLETE. I'M DELIGHTED TO

08:51WELCOME OUR CITY'S FIRST EVER

08:52CHIEF ASSET MANAGEMENT OFFICER,

08:55EMILY TRICHE. I KNOW THERE ARE

08:57SOME PEOPLE THAT WANT TO CALL

08:58YOUR LAST NAME TRENCH, WHICH WE

09:00THINK WOULD BE VERY APPROPRIATE

09:01FOR PUBLIC WORKS. AND EMILY IS

09:04HERE, ALONG WITH TATE WHITE,

09:06WHO'S BEEN SHEPHERDING THIS

09:07WORK FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF

09:08YEARS. AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK

09:10ABOUT THE INITIAL STRATEGY,

09:11KEEPING IN MIND THAT WE'RE

09:13ANTICIPATING THE FUNDING

09:15STRATEGY, MORE INFORMATION TO

09:16COME TO US IN DECEMBER. BUT

09:18WHAT I'D FIRST LIKE TO DO IS TO

09:20INVITE OUR CITY ADMINISTRATOR,

09:21RAYMOND LEE, TO MAKE SOME

09:23OPENING COMMENTS ABOUT THIS

09:25TOPIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

09:26BEING HERE WITH US.

09:28>> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT

09:29CLARK, AND JUST THANK THE

09:31COMMITTEE FOR HAVING ME THIS

09:33MORNING TO TALK ABOUT THIS

09:34TOPIC. WHEN WE LOOK AT SOME OF

09:37THE CORE THINGS THAT ARE

09:38IMPACTING NOT WHERE WE ARE

09:40TODAY ONLY, BUT WHERE WE WILL

09:42BE IN THE FUTURE, ASSETS IS AT

09:44THE TOP OF THAT CONVERSATION.

09:47HOW WE ARE MAINTAINING WHAT WE

09:49HAVE TODAY TO BUILD A

09:51PROSPEROUS FUTURE IS REALLY

09:52DECISIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE

09:54MADE TODAY. NOW, I KNOW THIS

09:56ELECTED BODY DID NOT PUT US IN

09:57THE POSITION THAT WE ARE IN

09:59TODAY, AND I KNOW THIS ELECTED

10:01BODY, THOUGH, WILL HAVE TO MAKE

10:04SOME VERY HARD DECISIONS AS IT

10:07RELATES TO HOW DO WE MOVE

10:09FORWARD AS A CITY THAT IS

10:10INVESTING IN ITS INFRASTRUCTURE

10:12AND ITS ASSETS OVERALL? AND

10:14WHAT ARE WE SAYING IS IMPORTANT

10:17TO US AS A CITY, AND WHAT ARE

10:18OUR PRIORITIES IN THIS? THIS

10:21WORK THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW

10:23IS MUCH BIGGER THAN JUST

10:24PROVIDING A REPORT TO THE CITY

10:26COUNCIL AS IT RELATES TO WHAT

10:28OUR ASSETS ARE, WHAT ARE THE

10:30CONDITION THAT THEY'RE IN

10:31CURRENTLY IS REALLY TALKING

10:33ABOUT HOW ARE WE BUILDING

10:34TOWARDS OUR FUTURE AS A CITY?

10:37THIS WILL BE A BUILDING BLOCK

10:39IN THAT LARGER SYSTEM OF REALLY

10:43INVESTING IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE

10:44AND OUR ASSETS OVERALL AS A

10:47CITY, THERE WILL BE FUTURE

10:49CONVERSATIONS AS IT RELATES TO

10:51POTENTIAL BOND PROGRAMS. THERE

10:53WILL BE FUTURE CONVERSATIONS AS

10:55IT RELATES TO WHAT ARE WE

10:57PRIORITIZING WITHIN A BOND

10:59PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE'RE SO FAR

11:01BEHIND ON OUR ASSETS TODAY,

11:03THERE'S NO OTHER AVENUE FOR US

11:05TO REALLY EXPLORE FINANCIALLY

11:07OUTSIDE OF LOOKING AT THOSE

11:10FINANCIAL TOOLS TO BRING US

11:12BACK INTO A CONDITION THAT WE

11:15ALL SEE AS SUFFICIENT FOR OUR

11:18CITY, OF OUR SIZE AND SCOPE IN

11:20THE SERVICES THAT WE'RE

11:21DELIVERING TO A VAST COMMUNITY

11:24AND REALLY REGION, BECAUSE WE

11:26KNOW WE TALK ABOUT THE CITY OF

11:28PORTLAND'S POPULATION ROUGHLY

11:30AROUND 650,000, BUT OUR REGION

11:33POPULATION IS 2.4 MILLION. AND

11:35THAT REGION STILL USES THIS

11:38CITY AS A HUB FOR RESOURCES AND

11:41SERVICES. AND THAT HAS A

11:43TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF IMPACT ON

11:44OUR RESOURCES AS A CITY. ONE OF

11:47THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT CONCERN

11:49ME WHEN COMING INTO THE CITY

11:51AND GETTING A TOUR DATE AT THAT

11:53TIME, WAS A PART OF THAT TOUR.

11:54AND LOOKING AT OUR ASSETS AS A

11:56WHOLE, IT'S VERY CONCERNING THE

11:58CONDITION THAT WE'RE IN AS A

12:00CITY. AND I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW

12:03WE'RE NOT AT THE POSITION THAT

12:04I WOULD SAY FOR MY PROFESSIONAL

12:06EXPERTISE, WE NEED TO BE AS A

12:07CITY AS IT RELATES TO THE

12:09INVESTMENTS THAT WE'RE MAKING

12:11IN THE ASSETS AND

12:12INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE AS

12:14A CITY. SO I WELCOME THIS

12:16CONVERSATION. I WANT TO BE AT

12:17THE FOREFRONT OF THIS

12:19CONVERSATION. THIS IS A PART OF

12:20THE REASON THAT WE'RE DEDICATED.

12:21AND THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR

12:23APPROVING THE BUDGET TO UPGRADE

12:25THIS POSITION IN THE CITY SO IT

12:28CAN HAVE THE THE LEVEL OF

12:32EXPERTISE, BUT ALSO THE

12:34HIERARCHY WITHIN THE

12:35ORGANIZATION TO TRULY HAVE

12:38GUIDANCE AND WHERE WE'RE

12:39HEADING AS A CITY AND BE ABLE

12:41TO INFLUENCE THAT AND BE

12:43INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW THAT

12:44INFLUENCE HAPPENS. SO I KNOW

12:46THIS IS A COMMITMENT FROM THIS

12:47COUNCIL AS WE WENT THROUGH THE

12:49BUDGETING PROCESS. AS WE

12:50CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE

12:52CONVERSATIONS, I WANT YOU TO

12:53KNOW IT'S AT THE TOP OF MY LIST,

12:55AS WELL AS THE CITY

12:56ADMINISTRATOR TO ENSURE THAT

12:57WE'RE SETTING THE CITY UP NOT

12:59FOR ONLY CURRENT SUCCESS, BUT

13:00LONG TERM SUCCESS AS WELL. AND

13:02I'M SORRY, COUNCIL, I WON'T BE

13:03ABLE TO RUN BECAUSE IT IS

13:05BUDGET SEASON AND WE GOT SOME

13:06BUDGET MEETINGS STARTING OFF

13:07LIKE WE JUST ENDED, BUT WE'RE

13:09BACK IN THE MIX AGAIN.

13:10>> WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

13:12BEING HERE AND REALLY PROVIDING

13:13US A CONTEXT FOR THIS

13:15DISCUSSION. I APPRECIATE THE

13:16YOUR LOOK AT THE REGION AND THE

13:18STATE AND REALLY PUT IN CONTEXT,

13:20I'M SURE THAT IN YOUR

13:21EXPERIENCE, WE DON'T STACK UP

13:22VERY WELL AGAINST OTHER CITIES

13:24OF OUR SIZE. WE ARE SO FAR

13:26BEHIND. AND THIS IS THE FIRST

13:27ISSUE THAT THIS COMMITTEE TOOK

13:29UP TWO YEARS AGO. WE KNEW THE

13:31GRAVITY OF IT. WE HAD READ THE

13:33AUDITOR'S REPORTS ABOUT HOW BAD

13:35OFF WE ARE, AND SOME OF US TALK

13:37ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME IN THE

13:39COMMUNITY, BECAUSE I DON'T

13:40THINK THE COMMUNITY, THE PEOPLE

13:41WHO LIVE IN PORTLAND,

13:43UNDERSTAND THAT WE OWN OVER $80

13:45BILLION WORTH OF ASSETS, AND SO

13:47MANY OF THEM ARE ON THE VERGE

13:49OF FAILURE. SO THIS IS A

13:51CRITICAL AND I SO MUCH

13:52APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP IN

13:54THIS. SO LET'S CALL UP OUR TWO

13:58FOLKS, EMILY AND TATE. DO YOU

14:00WANT TO COME ON UP AND WALK US

14:02THROUGH THIS? GIVE US A LITTLE

14:05STATUS REPORT AND WELCOME. GOOD

14:08TO SEE YOU AGAIN, TATE AND

14:09EMILY, WELCOME. FIRST TIME, I

14:12THINK, BEFORE A COMMITTEE.

14:13>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

14:16>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU.

14:17CHAIR CLARK, VICE CHAIR SMITH

14:20AND COUNCILORS KOYAMA LANE

14:22KANAL AND GREEN. MY NAME IS

14:25TATE WHITE. I USE SHE THEY

14:27PRONOUNS AND I'M THE DEPUTY

14:28DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF

14:29PLANNING AND SUSTAINABILITY

14:31WHILE I GET US SET UP. I'M

14:34REALLY THRILLED TO INTRODUCE

14:38CHIEF ASSET MANAGEMENT OFFICER

14:39EMILY TRISH, OUR FIRST ONE. DO

14:41YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW OPENING

14:42REMARKS, EMILY?

14:44>> SURE. THANK YOU. GOOD

14:45MORNING COUNCIL. MY NAME IS

14:47EMILY TRICHE AND I AM YOUR

14:49CHIEF ASSET MANAGEMENT OFFICER.

14:50I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE

14:52JOINING YOU IN THIS IMPORTANT

14:54MISSION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND

14:55FOR PORTLAND. I WANT TO THANK

14:57YOU FOR YOUR VISION,

14:59RECOGNIZING INFRASTRUCTURE

15:00ASSET MANAGEMENT AS

15:01FOUNDATIONAL TO PORTLAND'S

15:02FUTURE. THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE

15:04PLAN, BUILD, OPERATE, AND

15:06MAINTAIN IS MORE THAN JUST A

15:08COLLECTION OF PHYSICAL ASSETS

15:10UNDERPINS OUR ECONOMY. IT'S KEY

15:11TO PUBLIC SAFETY, AND IT

15:13SUPPORTS THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF

15:14EVERY PORTLANDER. GOING FORWARD,

15:16WE WILL CREATE A SHARED

15:17APPROACH TO MANAGING OUR ASSETS,

15:20SUPPORTING BETTER INFORMED

15:21DECISIONS, DIRECTING RESOURCES

15:23WHERE THEY PROVIDE THE GREATEST

15:24VALUE, AND STRENGTHENING OUR

15:26ABILITY TO DELIVER FOR

15:28PORTLAND'S NEEDS TODAY AND FOR

15:29THE LONG TERM. SO THE STRATEGY

15:31YOU'LL BE RECEIVING THIS

15:32MORNING IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN

15:34THIS PROCESS. I'M LOOKING

15:36FORWARD TO WORKING WITH

15:37PARTNERS ACROSS THE CITY TO

15:39ALIGN OUR EFFORTS, MAKING THE

15:40BEST USE OF OUR RESOURCES, AND

15:42DELIVERING BETTER OUTCOMES FOR

15:43THE PEOPLE WE SERVE. NOW, I'LL

15:46TURN IT BACK OVER TO DEPUTY

15:47DIRECTOR WHITE TO PRESENT THE

15:48ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY.

15:52>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU,

15:54OFFICER TRISH. SO I'M REALLY

16:00PROUD TO PRESENT YOU ALL THE

16:01FIRST ITERATION OF THE CITYWIDE

16:03ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY. IT'S

16:05PORTLAND'S FIRST, AND I WANT TO

16:08THANK THE MANY COLLEAGUES WHO

16:09HAVE WORKED WITH ME ON THIS

16:12STRATEGY. BEFORE WE GET INTO

16:14THE STRATEGY'S VISION AND

16:16OBJECTIVES, WE WILL REVIEW A

16:18CURRENT STATE OF INFRASTRUCTURE

16:21AND ASSET MANAGEMENT IN

16:23PORTLAND. WE'LL REVIEW THAT

16:24OVER OVERALL, AND WE'LL TALK

16:26ABOUT THE MANY BENEFITS THAT WE

16:28CAN ACHIEVE FROM GOOD PRACTICES

16:31AND ASSET MANAGEMENT. WE'LL

16:34THEN END BY TALKING ABOUT

16:36GOVERNANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION.

16:37AND WE REALLY WELCOME YOUR

16:39QUESTIONS. SO IN SHORT, ASSET

16:43MANAGEMENT IS A SYSTEM OF TOOLS

16:45THAT ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN,

16:48EXPAND AND IMPROVE

16:50INFRASTRUCTURE TO DELIVER

16:51OUTCOMES TO THE COMMUNITY,

16:54INCLUDING SERVICES AND

16:56ACHIEVING EQUITABLE OUTCOMES.

16:58ASSETS ARE PHYSICAL ITEMS THAT

17:00PROVIDE A VALUE OR A SERVICE.

17:03OUR FOCUS IS ON THE BUILT AND

17:05NATURAL ASSETS, GRAY AND GREEN

17:08INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PROVIDE

17:09IMPORTANT SERVICES TO OUR

17:11COMMUNITY AND THE ORGANIZATION.

17:13WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

17:15INFRASTRUCTURE ASSET MANAGEMENT,

17:16WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE

17:18TAKE CARE OF ROADS, PARKS,

17:21BRIDGES, NATURAL SYSTEMS,

17:22COMMUNITY FACILITIES, AND THE

17:24MASSIVE URBAN FRAMEWORK THAT

17:26FORMS THE BACKBONE OF PUBLIC

17:29SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY,

17:30BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT'S

17:31ABOUT. SO THE CITY ASSET

17:35MANAGERS GROUP, ALSO KNOWN AS

17:36CAMG FOR SHORT, HAS BEEN

17:38PRODUCING AN ANNUAL REPORT ON

17:40THE STATUS AND CONDITION OF THE

17:42CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OVER

17:4420 YEARS. THAT'S ACTUALLY IN

17:46CITY POLICY. IN THE JUNE

17:49PRESENTATION, I MENTIONED THAT

17:50WE ARE WORKING ON THIS REPORT

17:52IN TANDEM WITH THE STRATEGY,

17:53AND IT IS PROVIDED AS AN

17:55ATTACHMENT. DOZENS OF

17:58PROFESSIONALS AND DATA SYSTEMS

17:59CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ANNUAL

18:01REPORT, AND IT PROVIDES GOOD

18:03INFORMATION ON OVERALL

18:04PORTFOLIO, TRENDS AND CONTEXT.

18:08HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT

18:09THERE ARE INCONSISTENT METHODS

18:11AND RELIABILITY THAT UNDERPIN

18:13THE DATA COLLECTION, PROCESSING

18:15AND REPORTING. THE STRATEGY

18:18AIMS TO ADDRESS THIS

18:20VARIABILITY WITH STRONGER DATA

18:22GOVERNANCE AND THE DEVELOPMENT

18:24OF CITY WIDE STANDARDS AND

18:26FRAMEWORKS. THESE WILL PROMOTE

18:29ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONSISTENCY

18:31WHILE RETAINING FLEXIBILITY FOR

18:34SPECIFIC ASSET CLASS

18:35DIFFERENCES. THE CHIEF ASSET

18:38MANAGEMENT OFFICER WILL BE

18:39ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS REPORTING

18:40GOING FORWARD, IN COORDINATION

18:42WITH THE MANY PROFESSIONALS WHO

18:44CONTRIBUTE TO IT. SO THE CITY

18:49OF PORTLAND, AS WE'VE BEEN

18:51DISCUSSING, MANAGES AN

18:52ESTIMATED 82 BILLION IN PUBLIC

18:55INFRASTRUCTURE SPANNING WATER,

18:57SEWER, TRANSPORTATION, PARKS

18:59AND NATURAL AREAS, CIVIC

19:02FACILITIES, EMERGENCY RESPONSE

19:04EQUIPMENT, TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS,

19:06CULTURAL VENUES AND ECONOMIC

19:08DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES. THE

19:10VALUE SHOWN IS KNOWN AS

19:12REPLACEMENT VALUE, WHICH MEANS

19:13THE CAPITAL COST OF REBUILDING

19:16SOMETHING IN TODAY'S MONETARY

19:18VALUE, $82 BILLION IS A LOT OF

19:21MONEY, SO EVEN THE SMALLER

19:23PERCENTAGES ON HERE ARE REALLY

19:25SIGNIFICANT VALUES. WE ARE

19:28PROVIDING SOME CITY WIDE

19:29HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REPORT

19:30TODAY, BUT THERE'S MORE SERVICE

19:32AREA AND PROGRAM SPECIFIC

19:35INFORMATION IN THAT REPORT THAT

19:36YOU CAN DIG INTO FOR REFERENCE.

19:40SO THE CHART ON THIS SLIDE

19:42SHOWS CURRENT ASSET CONDITION

19:44FOR EACH PROGRAM WEIGHTED FOR

19:47REPLACEMENT VALUE. EACH BAR IS

19:50A BUREAU OR A PROGRAM, AND THE

19:52COLORS WITHIN THAT BAR

19:54REPRESENT THE PERCENTAGE OF

19:55THEIR ASSETS IN THE

19:57>> A CONDITION SHOWN IN THE

19:59LEGEND WITHOUT READING IT, YOU

20:01CAN GET A GOOD SENSE OF

20:03CONDITION PROFILES BY LOOKING

20:05AT THE COLOR DISTRIBUTION. BLUE

20:07AND GREEN ARE GOOD YELLOW, FAIR

20:10AND ORANGE AND RED. POOR AND

20:12VERY. WHILE MANY ASSET

20:15PORTFOLIOS ARE IN FAIR TO GOOD

20:16CONDITION, WHICH IS. OF NOTE.

20:19OTHERS, PARTICULARLY

20:21TRANSPORTATION, PAVEMENT, PARKS,

20:23FACILITIES, PUBLIC SAFETY

20:26FACILITIES AND OLDER CULTURAL

20:27VENUES HAVE A GROWING. HAVE

20:29GROWING SHARES OF ASSETS AND

20:30POOR TO VERY POOR CONDITION. IN

20:33SOME INSTANCES, A LEVEL OF POOR

20:35CONDITION IS BOTH EXPECTED AND

20:37STRATEGICALLY MANAGED WITH A

20:39RUN TO FAILURE APPROACH. WE

20:41TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST TIME AND

20:43I USED THE EXAMPLE OF TIRES ON

20:44A CAR. YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY

20:46REPLACE THEM ALL WHEN THEY'RE

20:47IN FAIR CONDITION. YOU'D SORT

20:49OF WAIT FOR THEM TO GET TO THE

20:51END OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE,

20:53BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE FROM A

20:54COST STANDPOINT. SO ACROSS ALL

21:01BUREAUS, ANNUAL AND FORECASTED

21:03TEN YEAR CAPITAL GAPS CONTINUE

21:06TO GROW AS AGING ASSETS MEET

21:08INFLATION, STRICTER REGULATORY

21:11REQUIREMENTS, SEISMIC

21:12VULNERABILITY, AND ACCELERATING

21:14CLIMATE IMPACTS. MOST OF THESE

21:16GAPS ARE RELATED TO MAINTENANCE

21:18OR REPLACEMENT NEEDS, AND GAPS

21:20FROM THE LESS MATURE GROUPS ARE

21:22LIKELY UNDERESTIMATED. COMPARED

21:24TO THE MORE MATURE UTILITY

21:27BUREAUS. THE GRAPH ON THIS

21:30SLIDE SHOWS EACH BUREAU'S TEN

21:31YEAR CAPITAL FUNDING GAP AS A

21:33PERCENTAGE OF THAT GROUP'S

21:36OVERALL ASSET VALUE. THIS

21:38PERSPECTIVE IS IMPORTANT

21:39BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE

21:40SIGNIFICANCE OF EACH BUREAU'S

21:42REPORTED FUNDING GAP RELATIVE

21:43TO THE SIZE OF THEIR PORTFOLIO.

21:49RESULTING RESULTING FAILURES OF

21:51ASSETS FROM LACK OF INVESTMENT

21:54CAN CHALLENGE SERVICE

21:56RELIABILITY, SAFETY, ACCESS AND

22:00LIVABILITY FOR PORTLANDERS. IF

22:02WE DON'T INVEST IN ASSET

22:04MANAGEMENT, WE ARE LIKELY TO

22:05SEE EXPONENTIALLY INCREASING

22:08CLOSURES AND DECREASES IN

22:10SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. WE

22:12RISK CATASTROPHIC FAILURES OF

22:14MAJOR ASSETS LIKE BRIDGES, WITH

22:16ESCALATING NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO

22:18PUBLIC SAFETY AND ECONOMIC

22:20DEVELOPMENT. FAILURES OF SOME

22:24ASSETS COULD LEAD TO MAJOR

22:26SERVICE DISRUPTIONS AND THREATS

22:29TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND

22:31ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. AND

22:35CONTINUED DETERIORATION OF

22:37AMENITIES WILL HAVE CUMULATIVE

22:39NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON COMMUNITY

22:43EXPERIENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

22:45ISSUES WILL CONTINUE TO BE

22:46PUSHED OFF ON FUTURE

22:48GENERATIONS AND BECOME MORE AND

22:49MORE COSTLY. EARLY INTERVENTION

22:56AND AN ASSET'S DETERIORATION

22:58CYCLE HELPS PREVENT THESE MORE

23:00SIGNIFICANT AND COSTLY FAILURES.

23:03ASSET MANAGEMENT CAN BE USED TO

23:05ACHIEVE EFFICIENCIES AND COST

23:08SAVINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY $1

23:11OF PLANNED MAINTENANCE CAN

23:13AVOID ROUGHLY 5 TO 10 OF

23:15REACTIVE REPAIR. HIGHER UPFRONT

23:18COSTS CAN PRODUCE SUBSTANTIALLY

23:21LOWER LIFETIME COSTS. THE

23:23FIGURES ON THIS SLIDE ARE

23:24INTENDED TO PROVIDE A SENSE OF

23:26RELATIVE SCALE, AND ACTUAL

23:28VALUES DEPEND ON ASSET CLASS

23:31MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE

23:33STRATEGY, AND FAILURE MODE. THE

23:35KEY POINT IS THAT ADDRESSING

23:36THE INVESTMENT GAP IS NOT

23:38SIMPLY A REVENUE PROBLEM, IT IS

23:40A SYSTEMS PROBLEM AS WELL. BUT

23:43WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

23:45MANAGING FOR RISK FOCUSING ON

23:47INFRASTRUCTURE, SERVICES AND

23:49OUTCOMES. PRIORITIZING CARE FOR

23:51WHAT WE OWN OVER BUILDING NEW

23:54FUNDING, MAINTENANCE AND SO ON

23:56ARE ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO CHIP

23:57AWAY AT A CHALLENGE THAT'S

23:59COMPOUNDED OVER TIME.

24:02IMPLEMENTING THE OBJECTIVES AND

24:03ACTIONS OF THE STRATEGY WILL

24:05PROVIDE IMPROVED SYSTEMS AND

24:07TOOLS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE

24:09RISK AND VALUE TRADE OFFS OF

24:12PRIORITIZING ONE GAP OVER

24:13ANOTHER. AND SO I'M GOING TO

24:16PASS IT TO EMILY FOR THIS SLIDE.

24:18GREAT. WELL, COUNCIL, AS PART

24:20OF OUR ANNUAL ASSET STATUS AND

24:21CONDITION REPORTING, WE LIKE TO

24:23SHARE SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND

24:24ALSO RELEVANT TO THE WORK

24:26PRODUCTS BEFORE YOU. WE WANT TO

24:28SHARE SOME INITIATIVES GOING ON

24:29ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION. AND

24:30THESE ARE ALIGNED DIRECTLY WITH

24:33CITIES FINANCIAL CITY FINANCIAL

24:34POLICY 2.19 ON ASSET MANAGEMENT

24:39SOLUTIONS, EFFICIENCIES AND

24:40INNOVATIONS LIKE THESE WILL BE

24:42AMPLIFIED AND EXTENDED THROUGH

24:44IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGY

24:45THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING IN A

24:46MOMENT. THIS LIST IS, OF COURSE,

24:48NOT EXHAUSTIVE, BUT MERELY

24:50REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GREAT

24:51WORK THAT ASSET MANAGERS ACROSS

24:53THE ORGANIZATION ARE DOING ALL

24:55THE TIME. SO CLOCKWISE FROM THE

24:57UPPER LEFT, I WANTED TO

24:59HIGHLIGHT THE WATER BUREAU'S

25:02EFFORTS TO PREDICT FUTURE WATER

25:04MAIN FAILURES BY DEVELOPING

25:06RENEWAL RATE RECOMMENDATIONS.

25:08MANAGING FUTURE SERVICE LEVELS.

25:11THE DATA IN THIS CHART IS BASED

25:13ON FAILURE RATES AND

25:14REPLACEMENT RATES OF PORTLAND

25:15PIPES. IN THE INNOVATION

25:19CATEGORY. BTS IS ROLLING OUT

25:21THIS FALL. AI PAPE PIPE DEFECT

25:25GRADING. AND SO THIS IS

25:27UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY TO

25:28IDENTIFY SOME DEFECTS THAT WE

25:30CAN ADDRESS BEFORE THEY BECOME

25:32LARGER FAILURES. THE FACILITIES

25:35TEAM IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO

25:37IMPLEMENT THE CAPITAL PLANNING

25:38MODULE IN FACILITY FORCE, AND

25:40SO THIS WILL HELP TO OPTIMIZE

25:44THEIR CAPITAL PORTFOLIO. ON THE

25:47BOTTOM RIGHT, YOU'RE FAMILIAR

25:48WITH SOME OF THE FINANCIAL

25:50TOOLS RECENTLY ROLLED OUT AND

25:52APPROVED THROUGH COUNCIL,

25:53THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF THE

25:55TRANSPORTATION UTILITY FEE AND

25:56THE STREET DAMAGE RESTORATION

25:58FEE. THIS INCLUDES FUNDING ALSO

26:01TO HELP WITH THE SIDEWALK

26:03IMPROVEMENTS AS PART OF THE

26:04SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT AND PAVING

26:06PROGRAM. THE CIP AND THEN

26:09FINALLY, I WANT TO CALL OUT THE

26:10THE WORK WITH BOTH PBOT AND

26:13PARKS AND REC, IN PARTNERSHIP

26:14WITH THE BUREAU OF

26:16TRANSPORTATION, IMPLEMENTING

26:17THE SAME UPDATED CLOUD VERSION

26:19OF MAXIMO, WHICH IS AN

26:20ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT

26:21TOOL. AND THIS WILL IMPROVE THE

26:24INTEROPERABILITY AND PROVIDE

26:25LOWER LONG TERM SUPPORT COSTS

26:27OVER ALTERNATIVES. SO WE'RE

26:28MAKING PROGRESS ALL THE TIME,

26:30AND WE HOPE TO RAMP IT UP AS

26:32PART OF THE STRATEGY

26:33IMPLEMENTATION. BACK TO YOU

26:34DAVE. THANK YOU OFFICER TRISH.

26:39SO THIS SLIDE SERVES AS A

26:42REMINDER OF THE WORK DOZENS OF

26:44PEOPLE ACROSS THE CITY ENGAGED

26:46IN TO DEVELOP THE CITYWIDE

26:48ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGY THAT

26:49WE'RE PRESENTING TODAY. I'M

26:53GOING TO READ OUT THE VISION TO

26:55GIVE YOU ALL TIME TO ABSORB IT.

26:57BUT I FIRST WANT TO NOTE THAT

26:58THIS IS REALLY FORWARD LOOKING.

27:00IT'S MORE LONG TERM, THE

27:02OBJECTIVES AND THE ACTIONS OF

27:04THE STRATEGY WE ENVISION WILL

27:06BE IMPLEMENTED SOONER. AND WE

27:08SEE THIS AS A LIVING DOCUMENT

27:10THAT WILL BE REVISITED AND

27:12UPDATED OVER TIME. SO GETTING

27:15BACK TO THE VISION, IT'S 2035.

27:19AND WHAT WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE

27:22PORTLAND AT THAT TIME WILL

27:24DELIVER RELIABLE, EQUITABLE

27:26SERVICES PROMOTED OR SUPPORTED

27:28BY MATURE INTEGRATED ASSET

27:30MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WHERE

27:32DECISIONS ARE DATA INFORMED AND

27:35TRANSPARENT, REDUCE RISK AND

27:37DELIVER VALUE FOR COMMUNITY

27:39OVER AN ASSET'S LIFE CYCLE.

27:42PORTLANDERS WILL ENJOY

27:43DEPENDABLE SERVICES THAT MEET

27:45COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS AND

27:47SUPPORT POSITIVE SOCIAL,

27:49ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL

27:51OUTCOMES. SO THE FIRST

27:56PARAGRAPH OF THIS VISION IS

27:57RATHER INTERNALLY FOCUSED. AND

27:59THAT'S BECAUSE THE STRATEGY IS

28:02REALLY FOCUSED ON GETTING THE

28:04ORGANIZATION BETTER EQUIPPED TO

28:06MANAGE ASSETS MORE EFFECTIVELY

28:08ACROSS BUREAUS. HOWEVER, THE

28:11STRATEGY ALSO CONSIDERS HOW WE

28:12WOULD BETTER INTEGRATE EQUITY

28:14AND COMMUNITY IMPACTS AND LEVEL

28:16OF SERVICE PLANNING, ANALYSIS

28:18AND DECISION MAKING SO THAT

28:20SECOND SENTENCE CONNECTS ASSET

28:22MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO

28:24RESPONSIBLY PROVIDING SERVICES

28:26TO THE COMMUNITY. SO HERE'S A

28:30COLLECTION OF THE STRATEGY SIX

28:33OBJECTIVES. WE WILL BE WALKING

28:34THROUGH A SLIDE FOR EACH ONE.

28:39SO OBJECTIVE ONE FOCUSES ON

28:41ESTABLISHING ASSET MANAGEMENT

28:42GOVERNANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL

28:44CAPACITY WHICH IS CONSIDERED A

28:46CRITICAL IMMEDIATE ACTION TO

28:48SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR THE

28:50OTHER OBJECTIVES. WE WILL TALK

28:53ABOUT GOVERNANCE LATER IN THE

28:55PRESENTATION, BUT WE HAVE HAD A

28:56BIG WIN ALREADY WITH ACHIEVE

28:58ASSET MANAGEMENT OFFICER. THIS

29:02OBJECTIVE ALSO INCLUDES ACTIONS

29:03TO BUILD ORGANIZATIONAL

29:05CAPACITY, ASSET MANAGEMENT,

29:07CULTURE AND COMPETENCE THROUGH

29:09TRAINING AND DEFINING A CITY

29:11WIDE LEVEL OF SERVICE FRAMEWORK.

29:14SUPPORTING STRATEGY LANGUAGE

29:16ASSERTS THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE

29:17SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO

29:18COMMUNITY OUTCOMES, COST OF

29:20SERVICE AND BUDGET DECISIONS SO

29:22THAT THE CITY COMMITS TO

29:23DELIVER. WHAT THE CITY COMMITS

29:25TO DELIVERING IS MATCHED BY THE

29:27RESOURCES REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN

29:29IT. OBJECTIVE TWO IS ABOUT

29:34SUPPORTING DECISIONS THROUGH

29:35THE IDENTIFICATION OF COMMON

29:37ASSET DATA ELEMENTS,

29:40INTENTIONAL DATA GOVERNANCE,

29:41GOVERNANCE, DATA STANDARDS,

29:43SYSTEM DESIGN AND INTEGRATION,

29:47ALIGNING THESE TO STRATEGIC AND

29:49OPERATIONAL NEEDS, AS WELL AS

29:50RISK PRIORITIES. CRITICAL TO

29:53THIS WORK IS DEVELOPING AND

29:55MAINTAINING A CITYWIDE ASSET

29:56REGISTER TO HAVE A SINGLE

29:58SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR TRACKING,

30:00MANAGING AND ACCOUNTING FOR

30:02PHYSICAL ASSETS THROUGHOUT

30:03THEIR LIFE CYCLE. THE CHIEF

30:05ASSET MANAGEMENT OFFICER IS

30:07ENVISIONED TO LEAD THIS WORK,

30:08WITH ASSET OWNERS BEING

30:10RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGANIZING

30:12THEIR DATA INTO THE STANDARDS

30:14CREATED. THE SECOND ACTION OF

30:17DEFINING DATA STEWARDS WILL

30:20HELP WITH EFFECTIVE

30:22IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTAINING

30:23THIS REGISTER OVER TIME.

30:27OBJECTIVE THREE FOCUSES ON

30:29IMPLEMENTING OBJECTIVE, CITY

30:30WIDE FRAMEWORKS FOR INVESTMENT

30:33PRIORITIZATION. THE FIRST

30:35ACTION TO DEVELOP A SIMPLE

30:36SHARED METHOD FOR EVALUATING

30:39RISK VALUES AND LONG TERM NEEDS

30:41THAT EVERY SERVICE AREA CAN USE,

30:44REGARDLESS OF STAFF EXPERTISE,

30:46HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A

30:47CRITICAL IMMEDIATE ACTION.

30:50ADDITIONAL ACTIONS INCLUDE

30:52CREATING GUIDANCE FOR ASSET

30:53ONBOARDING, DECOMMISSIONING,

30:55EVALUATING RENEWAL AND RETURN

30:57ON INVESTMENT. ESTABLISHING

30:58VALUE BASED DECISION CRITERIA

31:00AROUND LEVELS OF SERVICE

31:02FUNDING AND DECISION TRADE OFFS,

31:05AND DEVELOPING A CITY WIDE

31:06INVESTMENT PRIORITIZATION MODEL

31:09TO HELP PRIORITIZE CITY WIDE

31:11RESOURCES. EXCUSE ME. THE

31:14STRATEGY GOES INTO MORE DETAIL

31:16ABOUT ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS TO

31:18ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES.

31:20CRITICAL TO THIS ONE IS

31:22RECOGNIZING THE VARIOUS FACTORS

31:23THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO

31:25DEFINE TRADE OFFS AND AND

31:27ASSESS RISK SO INFORMED

31:29DECISIONS CAN BE MADE. DECISION

31:32MAKING CRITERIA IS A

31:33RECOMMENDED TOOL TO PROVIDE

31:35GUIDANCE FOR THESE CRITICAL

31:37CHOICES. OBJECTIVE FOUR STATES

31:40THAT DECISIONS SHOULD BE

31:41GROUNDED IN LIFE CYCLE REALITY,

31:43EQUITY AND COMMUNITY NEED. AS

31:46DISCUSSED IN OBJECTIVE ONE,

31:47IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONNECT

31:49SERVICE COMMITMENTS TO LIFE

31:50CYCLE COSTS AND MAINTENANCE

31:52FUNDING. ADOPTING A COMMON

31:55CITYWIDE EQUITY FRAMEWORK FOR

31:56ASSET AND SERVICE DECISIONS AT

31:58A CITY WIDE LEVEL IS ANOTHER

32:00ACTION. AND FINALLY,

32:02INTEGRATING THIS FRAMEWORK INTO

32:04THE PREVIOUS OBJECTIVES

32:06INVESTMENT PRIORITIZATION MODEL.

32:10OBJECTIVE FIVE CALLS FOR

32:12INCORPORATING SEISMIC AND

32:13CLIMATE MITIGATION AND

32:15ADAPTATION INTO DECISION MAKING.

32:17ACTIONS INCLUDE ADOPTING

32:19RESILIENCE SCREENING AND

32:21EVALUATION FRAMEWORK THAT

32:23ALLOWS BUREAUS TO ASSESS

32:25SEISMIC AND CLIMATE RISKS

32:27ACROSS INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS.

32:28THIS WILL PROMOTE CONSISTENCY

32:30AND INFORMED DECISION CRITERIA,

32:33ESTABLISHING A SCALABLE

32:35CITYWIDE METHOD FOR APPLYING

32:36SEISMIC AND CLIMATE CHANGE

32:38INFORMATION TO PRIORITIZATION

32:40IS ALSO INCLUDED AND SHOULD BE

32:42INCORPORATED INTO THE PREVIOUS

32:44OBJECTIVE. WITH VARIOUS

32:47INITIATIVES LIKE THE CLIMATE

32:48CHANGE RISK ASSESSMENT AND

32:49ACTION PLAN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW,

32:51WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO

32:54INTEGRATE A RESILIENCE LENS

32:55INTO ALL CITY ASSESSMENTS AND

32:58PLANS. OKAY, THE FINAL

33:01OBJECTIVE, WE'RE ALMOST THERE

33:03IS FOCUSED ON EARNING PUBLIC

33:05TRUST THROUGH MEANINGFUL

33:06ENGAGEMENT, PERFORMANCE

33:08MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING. A KEY

33:10ACTION TO HELP GUIDE THIS IS

33:12THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CITY WIDE

33:14COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

33:16EXPECTATIONS, WHICH INCLUDE

33:18DEFINING MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR

33:20ENGAGEMENT ON ASSET AND SERVICE

33:22DECISIONS, APPLYING BEST

33:24PRACTICES TO PROMOTE INCLUSIVE,

33:26REPRESENTATIVE AND TRANSPARENT

33:27ENGAGEMENT. UTILIZING TOOLS

33:29LIKE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

33:31AND LANGUAGE ACCESS TO DEFINE

33:33LEVELS OF SERVICE, AND CLOSING

33:36THE FEEDBACK LOOP THROUGH

33:37CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT THAT

33:39EXPLAINS TRADE OFFS. THE OTHER

33:41ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE THIS

33:43OBJECTIVE, FOCUS ON DEVELOPING

33:45SYSTEMS TO TRACK PERFORMANCE

33:47AND BE TRANSPARENT WITH THE

33:48COMMUNITY ABOUT SERVICE

33:50OUTCOMES. SO WE WILL START TO

33:55CLOSE BY LOOKING BACK TO THE

33:56FIRST OBJECTIVE ON ASSET

33:58MANAGEMENT GOVERNANCE. THIS

34:00CHART SHOWS A RECOMMENDATION

34:02FOR WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE

34:03MOVING FORWARD. TO SUCCESSFULLY

34:05IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGY. THE

34:07CHIEF ASSET MANAGEMENT OFFICER

34:10WILL HOLD AUTHORITY AND

34:12ACCOUNTABILITY FOR DEVELOPING

34:13AND IMPLEMENTING CITYWIDE ASSET

34:15MANAGEMENT STANDARDS, PROCESSES

34:18AND SYSTEM DECISIONS. THE

34:23EXECUTIVE STEERING COMMITTEE

34:24THAT WAS MADE UP OF DCAS FOR

34:26STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT, WHICH

34:28SHIFT TO BEING MADE UP OF

34:29DIRECTORS OF ASSET OWNING AND

34:31ENABLING BUREAUS TO HAVE

34:33CRITICAL SEATS TO ADVISE ON AND

34:35MAKE KEY DECISIONS FOR HOW TO

34:37IMPLEMENT THE OBJECTIVES AND

34:39ACTIONS OF THE STRATEGY.

34:41EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN

34:44INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT FOR

34:46THE CITY, AND WE LOOK FORWARD

34:48TO WORKING TOGETHER TO DELIVER

34:49ON THIS WORK. AND I'M GOING TO

34:51PASS IT TO OFFICER TRISH TO

34:53CLOSE. GREAT. SO LOOKING

34:56FORWARD.

34:56>> SOME NEXT STEPS FOR YOU.

34:58VICE PRESIDENT CLARK ALREADY

35:00INDICATED THAT THERE'S A

35:01FINANCIAL STRATEGY THAT WILL BE

35:03COMING BEFORE YOU. TARGETING

35:04WINTER OF 2026 WITH CFO BIERY.

35:09I PLAN TO COME BEFORE THE

35:10LARGER COUNCIL IN THE SPRING TO

35:12OFFER SOME REFINEMENTS AND SOME

35:14DETAILS OF IMPLEMENTATION

35:15ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THIS

35:17STRATEGY, AND PART OF THAT WILL

35:21BE WORKING ON RISK FRAMEWORK

35:23SERVICE LEVEL TARGETS AND

35:24EVALUATING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

35:26PERFORMANCE. AND SO THOSE WERE

35:27SOME OF THE OBJECTIVES YOU

35:28HEARD ABOUT A MOMENT AGO,

35:30LOOKING AT OUR DECISION

35:31FRAMEWORK AND WHERE OUR

35:32GREATEST AREAS OF RISK ARE. AND

35:34SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO

35:35CONTINUING THAT CONVERSATION

35:36WITH YOU AND ANSWERING ANY

35:38QUESTIONS YOU HAVE TODAY. THANK

35:39YOU VERY MUCH.

35:40>> GREAT. THANK YOU BOTH FOR

35:42THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW WE

35:43HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. WE'VE GOT

35:44ABOUT 1015 MINUTES AVAILABLE

35:46FOR DISCUSSION HERE. AND, YOU

35:48KNOW, I'M VERY ANXIOUS TO GET

35:50WHAT I CALL THE LIST RIGHT. I

35:52WANT THE LIST. I WANT TO KNOW

35:54WHAT'S AT GREATEST RISK BY EACH

35:57BUREAU. BUT THIS HAS GOT SOME

35:58GREAT INFORMATION IN IT. I

36:00REALLY APPRECIATE IT. COUNCILOR

36:01SMITH, YOU WANT TO KICK OFF THE

36:03DISCUSSION?

36:04>> YES. THANK YOU. WELCOME,

36:06TRISH. I APPRECIATE YOU AND YOU

36:09GOT A BIG JOB AHEAD OF YOU. A

36:12COUPLE OF THINGS. I'M LIKE THE

36:15THE CHAIR I WAS FULLY EXPECTING

36:19WITH THE TIME THAT IT TOOK TO

36:20GET TO THIS VISION, I WAS FULLY

36:22EXPECTING TO SEE A RED HISTORY.

36:25I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE A

36:27SPREADSHEET THAT EQUALED THE 82

36:30BILLION THAT HAD A HEADLINE OF

36:33EACH BUREAU AND HOW MUCH THEY

36:35HAD AND WHAT IT WAS

36:37SPECIFICALLY. AND I GUESS IT IS.

36:41IT IS THE STYLE OF THE CITY,

36:43BECAUSE THE BUDGET OFFICE, WHEN

36:45THEY TALK TO US ABOUT THINGS,

36:46THEY TALK IN PERCENTAGES. AND I

36:49DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT 82% IS.

36:50I WANT TO KNOW WHAT 82% IS AND

36:53WHAT THE DOLLAR VALUE IS. IF

36:56YOU CAN SAY ONLY 20% OF YOUR

36:58ASSETS ARE ARE WORKABLE, I WANT

37:01TO KNOW WHAT 20% IS IN

37:04CONDITION, IN GREAT CONDITION

37:05AND OPERATIONAL. SO FOR ME,

37:07THIS IS THIS WAS KIND OF

37:09UNDERWHELMING TO ME BECAUSE I

37:11WAS, I HAD A BIG EXPECTATION OF

37:14HAVING A, A LIST, A REGISTRY

37:17WITH, WITH, AND I'M NOT SO

37:20WEDDED TO SPREADSHEETS, BUT I

37:23EXPECTED TO SEE SOMETHING THAT

37:25WOULD LOOK LIKE AN $82 BILLION

37:29BOOK THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO

37:32INCLUDE THE STATUS OF EACH OF

37:35EACH OF THE ASSETS, AND HOW

37:38MUCH WOULD IT TAKE TO GET

37:42OPERATIONAL IN THE, IN THE IN

37:43THE GOOD, TO THE GOOD OR BETTER

37:46THAN GOOD. AND SO FOR ME, I

37:48STILL DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN

37:50I KNOW NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT

37:51YOU ALL ARE CONSIDERING AN

37:53ASSET. YOU HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED

37:55IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT STREET

37:57OUR ASSET IS ON. I WANTED TO

37:59SEE THIS ASSET THREE AND PBOT.

38:02WE HAVE TEN TRUCKS, FIVE THAT

38:06ARE OPERATIONAL, AND THEN

38:08THEY'RE GOING TO GO AWAY. AND I

38:10JUST HAD A DIFFERENT

38:12EXPECTATION SINCE THIS. AND I

38:13KNOW YOU JUST GOT HERE TRISH.

38:15BUT. I SEE DCA WILLIAMS HAS

38:20COME TO THE TABLE. BUT I THIS

38:25IS JUST A LONG LIST OF VISIONS

38:27THAT I HAVE ABOUT A WHOLE LOT

38:29OF STUFF. I WAS EXPECTING MORE.

38:31THANK YOU.

38:32>> IF I MAY. GOOD MORNING.

38:34MILLICENT WILLIAMS, INTERIM

38:35DEPUTY CITY ADMINISTRATOR FOR

38:36PUBLIC WORKS. THANK YOU VERY

38:37MUCH FOR YOUR QUESTION,

38:38COUNSELOR SMITH. WE ANTICIPATED

38:41THAT THIS COMMITTEE WOULD HAVE

38:43CONCERNS ALONG THE LINES THAT

38:45YOU'VE MENTIONED. AND EMILY

38:48TRICHE, HER FIRST NAME IS EMILY.

38:51SO SHE AND I HAVE TALKED

38:54EXTENSIVELY, AS WELL AS HAD

38:56CONVERSATIONS WITH TATE ABOUT

38:58THE EXPECTATIONS FOR TODAY. WE

39:01CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN EMILY

39:03COMES BEFORE THIS BODY IN

39:04JANUARY, YOU WILL HAVE A

39:07COLLECTION OF DATA. IT WILL

39:10COME IN MANY FORMS. SOME OF IT

39:12WILL BE LISTS, SOME OF IT WILL

39:14BE MAPS, SOME OF IT WILL BE

39:16DASHBOARDS AND INFORMATION THAT

39:18SHE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR

39:21THIS BODY SO THAT THERE'S A

39:22LEVEL OF COMFORT ABOUT NOT JUST

39:24THE LIST OF ASSETS, THE GENERAL

39:27CONDITION OF THE ASSETS, BUT

39:29WHERE THOSE ASSETS ARE THAT

39:31WILL HELP TO INFORM WHAT THE

39:33CITY ADMINISTRATOR WAS

39:35DISCUSSING REGARDING HOW WE

39:36WILL GET TO THE REQUEST OF A

39:39POTENTIAL BOND IN THE FUTURE.

39:41WE CAN'T DO THAT UNLESS WE HAVE

39:44INTEGRITY IN THE INFORMATION

39:45AND DATA THAT WE HAVE. AND SO

39:46THE COMMITMENT FROM THE

39:49ADMINISTRATION IS TO ENSURE

39:50THAT WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

39:52AND FRANKLY, A LOT OF THAT

39:53ALREADY EXISTS. IT'S JUST IN

39:56VARIOUS AND SUNDRY FORMS THAT

39:58MAKE IT A LITTLE CHALLENGING TO

40:01BRING TOGETHER. SO, YOU KNOW,

40:05WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND CAPITAL

40:08PROJECTS THAT WE COULD PROVIDE,

40:10BUT THAT DOESN'T TELL YOU THAT

40:12DOESN'T PROVIDE THE NARRATIVE

40:14THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO KNOW. I

40:15CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, PBOT

40:17HAS 225 CAPITAL PROJECTS. I CAN

40:19TELL YOU WHERE THEY ARE. THAT

40:20DOESN'T SPEAK TO THE GENERAL

40:21CONDITION OF THOSE ASSETS. AND

40:23SO THAT'S THE WORK THAT WE

40:24ANTICIPATE WILL BEGIN IN

40:26EARNEST. THE ASSET MANAGERS

40:28FROM ACROSS THE CITY HAVE BEEN

40:29WORKING VERY HARD. BUT AGAIN,

40:31WITHOUT HAVING THAT CENTRAL

40:32POINT OF COORDINATION THAT IS

40:34TASKED WITH AND CHARGED WITH

40:37ENSURING THAT THERE IS THAT

40:38STRATEGY, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE

40:41TO SHOW UP IN WAYS THAT I THINK

40:43NOT JUST YOU COUNCILORS ARE

40:45EXPECTING, BUT ALSO THAT THE

40:46PUBLIC WOULD EXPECT. AND SO I

40:48KNOW THAT THE NEXT SEVERAL

40:49MONTHS WILL BE SPENT WORKING ON

40:51THAT.

40:51>> AND I THINK IT WOULD BE

40:53HELPFUL BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN IN

40:55CUT EXERCISES TO SEE IT. DO WE

40:58HAVE MULTIPLE VANS? I KNOW

41:01EVERY MONTH OR HOWEVER THEY

41:03TAKE IT OUT, I MONEY IS TAKEN

41:05OUT OF MY ACCOUNT FOR

41:08FACILITIES FOR CARS I HAVE NOT.

41:10I HAVE YET TO USE ONE. I DON'T

41:12KNOW WHAT KIND OF CARS YOU ALL

41:14HAVE, I. SOMETIMES I SEE THOSE.

41:16I USED TO SEE THOSE CARS IN THE

41:18CITY THAT WORKS OR SOMETHING

41:19LIKE THAT. I HAVE NO IDEA. I DO

41:23KNOW I'VE BEEN IN ONE OF PBOT

41:26TRUCKS, BUT I'M TRYING TO

41:28FIGURE OUT IF WE CAN ALSO AS AS

41:30YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS, CREATE

41:32AN EQUITY LENS SO THAT OUR

41:37ASSETS WHERE THEY ARE SO THAT

41:39WE KNOW AND I EXPECT TO SEE

41:41SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE

41:42HAVE 25 PARKS IN DISTRICT ONE.

41:46AND HERE, HERE ARE THE THINGS

41:48THAT NEED TO BE UPDATED IN

41:50THESE PARKS. AND THOSE ARE THE

41:51KIND OF THINGS THAT I NEED TO

41:53SEE. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO DO

41:54PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

41:55LIKE THEY DID OVER AT SELWOOD

41:57HOUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT LOOKS TO

41:59BE AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO A

42:01PUBLIC PRIVATE. I DON'T WANT TO

42:02PRIVATIZE THE CITY, BUT I JUST

42:04WANT TO SEE IF THERE ARE WAYS

42:06IN WHICH IF THERE ARE ASSETS

42:07THAT WE NEED TO THAT ARE NOT

42:10BEING USED. THAT MAYBE WE

42:15SHOULD CONSIDER EITHER SELLING

42:18THEM, PUTTING THEM SO THAT WE

42:20CAN UPGRADE OTHER ASSETS THAT

42:23WE REALLY NEED TO KEEP IN PLAY,

42:25THOSE KIND OF THINGS. THAT'S,

42:26THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT.

42:28BUT AT ANY RATE, I WILL ALSO BE

42:31TALKING TO YOU AND SETTING UP A

42:32TIME TO TALK TO YOU. INTERIM DC

42:35WILLIAMS, IN REGARDS TO HOW WE

42:40THERE'S WE HAVE A PLACE SETTER

42:42BILL IN THE IN THE LEGISLATURE

42:44THAT WOULD IDENTIFY THAT WOULD

42:46ALLOW CITIES WHO HAVE SURPLUS

42:50PROPERTIES TO REZONE THEM FOR

42:53OTHER THINGS, PARTICULARLY

42:57HOUSING. AND I THINK THAT WE

43:00CAN'T CREATE ANY MORE LAND, BUT

43:02WE HAVE TO REPURPOSE THE LAND

43:04THAT WE DO HAVE. IT'S NOT BEING

43:06USED IF IT NEEDS IF IT'S A

43:07BROWNFIELD. AND THAT'S THE

43:08OTHER THING. I WANT TO KNOW,

43:10HOW MANY OF THESE ASSETS ARE

43:12BROWNFIELDS AND BY AND BY

43:14DISTRICT AND THOSE KINDS OF

43:16THINGS. SO THAT THAT IS WHERE

43:18MY HEAD IS AT. I APPRECIATE YOU

43:21ALL COMING UP WITH THE VISION,

43:22AND THAT GIVES YOU THE STARTING

43:24POINT SO THAT YOU CAN EVALUATE.

43:26BUT THE REGISTRY IS SPREADSHEET.

43:29I GUESS I AM JUST A SPREADSHEET

43:30GIRL.

43:31>> COUNCILOR SMITH I APPRECIATE

43:33YOUR, YOUR CHANNELING MY, MY

43:36FRUSTRATION AS WELL. SO I

43:37APPRECIATE THAT. AND I THINK

43:39IT'S GOOD THAT WE GIVE FOLKS

43:40FEEDBACK, BUT WE ONLY HAVE

43:41ABOUT TEN MORE MINUTES LEFT ON

43:43THIS. SO IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU,

43:45I'D LIKE TO MOVE ON TO

43:46COUNCILOR GREEN.

43:47>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CLARK.

43:49THANK YOU. WELCOME, EMILY.

43:52WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU ON

43:53BOARD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

43:55ONGOING SERVICE. THIS PROJECT.

43:57I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO

43:58THE VERY LAST SLIDE YOU

44:00MENTIONED OF RISK FRAMEWORK

44:01THAT'S FORTHCOMING. I'D LIKE TO

44:04HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT

44:06THAT. AND SPECIFICALLY, ARE YOU

44:07GOING TO BE ENGAGING IN THE ISO

44:0931,000 STANDARD TO, TO, TO

44:10GUIDE THAT?

44:12>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT

44:13QUESTION. AND YOU'RE SPEAKING

44:15MY LANGUAGE. RIGHT. SO THE

44:16INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

44:16ORGANIZATION HAS SEVERAL

44:17STANDARDS RELEVANT TO

44:19INFRASTRUCTURE ASSET MANAGEMENT.

44:20AND YES, WE WILL BE WORKING OFF

44:23OF THE STANDARDS OF ISO WILL

44:25ALSO BE LOOKING AT GASB 33 FOR

44:28THOSE KEEPING SCORE AT HOME AND

44:30ALSO LOOKING AT THE THE

44:33COMMITMENTS, THE POLICY AND

44:34STANDARDS WE HAVE HERE WITHIN

44:36THE CITY OF PORTLAND. MY

44:38INTENTION IS TO ENGAGE

44:39STAKEHOLDERS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE

44:41OF THE CITY, BECAUSE THE WAY

44:43PEOPLE ARE INTERACTING WITH OUR

44:45INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOW THAT

44:46HELPS THEM CREATE THAT THE

44:48SAFETY, THE NEW BUSINESS, THE

44:50AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND

44:51DEVELOPMENT IS SO CRITICAL TO

44:53WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE CITY IS

44:55WANTING TO BECOME. SO YOU'LL BE

44:58HEARING ABOUT THAT. THAT WILL

44:59TIE IN NICELY TO THE

45:01PRIORITIZATION FRAMEWORK OR THE

45:02INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK, AND AS

45:05WELL AS THE EQUITY, RESILIENCE

45:08AND THE OTHER GOALS WE HAVE OF

45:10THE ORGANIZATION THAT YOU WILL

45:11HELP DETERMINE AND DICTATE HOW

45:15WE POUR THE PROJECTS INTO THE

45:16MACHINE AND WHAT COMES OUT THE

45:17OTHER SIDE.

45:18>> I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

45:19AND YOU KNOW, FOR FOLKS

45:22WATCHING ALONG, I'M SO OBSESSED

45:23WITH THIS BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO

45:26ALL OF THE PROJECTS EVEN IF

45:28WE'RE TO GO OUT AND FLOAT A

45:30BOND. IT'S THE SCALE OF IT IS

45:32SO LARGE THAT WE HAVE TO FIGURE

45:34OUT WHICH ONES TO DO FIRST. AND

45:35THE WAY YOU DO THAT IS APPLYING

45:37SORT OF A RISK LENS TO BE LIKE,

45:39WHAT WOULD BE THE IMPACT OF

45:41FAILURE? SO IT'S NOT JUST LIKE,

45:42WILL THIS IS THIS OLD, IS IT?

45:44DOES IT NEED HELP? BUT IT'S

45:45LIKE, IF THIS FAILS, DOES THIS

45:47THEN CREATE CASCADING

45:48CONDITIONS? SO SOUNDS LIKE

45:49THAT'S EXACTLY THE, THE LENS

45:50AND FRAME THAT YOU'RE TAKING.

45:51I'LL, I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO

45:53SEEING THAT IN JANUARY. AND

45:54THANKS FOR. THANKS FOR THE WORK

45:58ON IT. THANKS.

45:58>> THANK YOU.

45:59>> I THINK WE'RE ALL WE'RE ALL

46:01ITCHING TO GET THERE. COUNCILOR

46:02KANAL.

46:03>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CLARK.

46:04THANKS AND WELCOME TO THE CITY.

46:06EMILY. THANKS AS WELL FOR FOR

46:09BEING HERE. DCA WILLIAMS AND

46:10TATE. I THINK IF THERE'S SOME

46:12BEHIND THE SCENES THING THAT

46:13HAS NOT BEEN WORKED ON FOR A

46:15LONG TIME AT THE LEVEL THAT IT

46:16NEEDS TO BE, AND NOW SOMEONE'S

46:18WORKING ON IT, NINE TIMES OUT

46:20OF TEN, I SEE YOUR NAME

46:21ATTACHED TO IT, TATE, AND I

46:22REALLY APPRECIATE THAT ABOUT

46:23ABOUT YOUR TIME HERE. I HAVE A

46:25COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT TWO

46:26SLIDES. CAN WE GO TO THE SLIDE

46:28WITH ALL THE BAR CHARTS? AND

46:30FIRST, JUST VERIFYING THAT THE

46:32PPE IN THE IN THE HEADER THERE

46:35IS PROSPER PORTLAND. OKAY.

46:37>> YES.

46:38>> SO AT SOME POINT WE SHOULD

46:39HAVE THAT THAT ONE. YEAH. SO I

46:42HAD A QUESTION HERE. SO FOR HAS

46:45GOT ITS OWN COLUMN FLEET AND

46:48FACILITIES MANAGES PPB

46:49PRECINCTS. RIGHT. SO THEY'D BE

46:51INCLUDED IN THAT. I KNOW NORTH

46:52PRECINCT IS IN DIRE NEED OF

46:53SOME WORK CORRECT?

46:54>> CORRECT.

46:55>> OKAY. SO I GUESS THIS THIS

46:57HIGHLIGHTS A QUESTION. IS THERE

46:59A LONG TERM PLAN OF SPLITTING

47:01UP THIS SORT OF DATA BY THE

47:03TYPE OF ASSET INSTEAD OF BUREAU

47:05OWNERSHIP, AS WE SIMULTANEOUSLY

47:06MOVE TO HAVING EVERYTHING OWNED

47:07BY A CITY INSTEAD OF 27 BUREAUS

47:10IN A TRENCH COAT?

47:11>> YES. SO VERY MUCH SO. BY

47:15STRATEGIC PRIORITY AND BY SOME

47:19OF THE THEMATIC AREAS THAT

47:21WE'RE SEEING. I'M ALREADY

47:22STARTING TO GET A SENSE FROM

47:24FOLKS ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT

47:25LOOK LIKE, AND THAT COULD

47:26INFORM A FUTURE BOND.

47:27>> GREAT. THAT MAKES SENSE. AND

47:29I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT FIRE

47:31UNIQUELY AND SEPARATELY AT SOME

47:33POINT. THAT PROBABLY CANNOT BE

47:34NOW, BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO THE

47:36BROADER CONVERSATION ABOUT

47:38WHERE ARE OUR OUR ASSETS ARE

47:42LOCATED. OBVIOUSLY, WE TALK

47:43ABOUT EAST PORTLAND, AND THAT'S

47:44A HUGE PART OF IT. BUT ALSO CSI

47:47HUB AND SOME OTHER LOCATIONS

47:49THERE. AND WEST OF THE RAILROAD

47:50CUT IN NORTH PORTLAND AS WELL.

47:52SO THAT'S, THAT'S ONE PIECE. I

47:54ALSO WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE

47:56SLIDES ABOUT OBJECTIVE SIX AND

47:58ENGAGEMENT. AND I JUST WANTED

47:59TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND IF YOU'RE

48:01YOU'RE BREAKING THIS APART

48:02BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A LITTLE

48:03DIFFERENT IF WE'RE TALKING

48:04ABOUT ENGAGING WITH PEOPLE

48:06ABOUT UPKEEP VERSUS ACTUAL

48:08CHANGE. SO IF YOU KNOW, IT'S A

48:10SHORT TERM INCONVENIENCE, IF

48:11YOUR ROADS BEING REPAVED, RIGHT,

48:13BUT IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL

48:14AFTER THAT. I THINK THAT'S

48:16DIFFERENT. AND THE ENGAGEMENT

48:18STANDARD IS PROBABLY DIFFERENT

48:19AS WELL THAN IF YOU'RE TAKING A

48:21TWO LANE ROAD AND MAKING IT ONE

48:23LANE IN EITHER DIRECTION AS

48:24PART OF THIS. AND THAT CAN BE

48:26SOMETHING YOU DO AT THE SAME

48:27TIME. SO I JUST, I WANTED TO

48:29JUST GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF

48:30SORT OF HOW ARE YOU, YOU

48:32WORKING THROUGH THAT AND HOW

48:34ARE YOU ESTABLISHING THE

48:36STANDARDS ON THAT? BECAUSE I

48:37THINK PBOT HAS BEEN CRITICIZED

48:40OVER TIME, IN PARTICULAR ON, ON

48:42ENGAGEMENT FOR BEING DEEP BUT

48:45NARROW. SO LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO,

48:47WHO LIVE ON THE ROAD, BUT NOT

48:49THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE ON THE

48:50ROAD EVERY DAY. AND I THINK

48:54THAT'S, YOU KNOW, A UNIQUE

48:55PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER

48:57BUREAUS THAT AREN'T EVEN

48:57GETTING THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF

48:59THE DEPTH, THEIR ENGAGEMENT.

49:00>> JUST DO YOU MIND IF I

49:02INTERVENE AT THIS POINT? THOSE

49:03ARE GREAT QUESTIONS. I REALLY

49:04APPRECIATE THEM. I CAN WE TAKE

49:06THOSE OFFLINE AS WELL, SINCE

49:07WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME, AND

49:09I DON'T KNOW THAT EMILY IS

49:10GOING TO HAVE DEEP ANSWERS TO

49:12THAT AT THIS POINT ON

49:13ENGAGEMENT, BUT YOU RAISED SOME

49:15REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES. UNLESS

49:16THERE'S A QUICK RESPONSE, I

49:18THINK IT'S PRETTY COMPLICATED.

49:20>> I CAN FOLLOW UP REALLY

49:22BRIEFLY. THANK YOU. I DID WANT

49:23TO HIGHLIGHT THERE'S A LONG

49:25RANGE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES

49:26MASTER PLAN THAT I THINK YOU'D

49:28ALL BE INTERESTED IN THAT I'LL

49:29SHARE WITH YOU. AND EMILY IS

49:31GOING TO INTEGRATE ALL THESE

49:33WONDERFUL PIECES TOGETHER. AND

49:35I THINK WE DO HAVE A CITY WIDE

49:38ENGAGEMENT OFFICER THAT WILL

49:39NEED TO BE REPLACED OR THAT

49:41WORK WILL GO FORWARD. AND I

49:43THINK THAT'S THE KIND OF

49:44DIRECTION WE'RE GOING IN. AND

49:45THE STRATEGY TALKS ABOUT THE

49:47IMPORTANCE OF HAVING SORT OF

49:49THOSE CITY WIDE STANDARDS, AND

49:51WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO

49:53ENGAGEMENT MORE AS A AS ONE

49:54CITY, AND I THINK WE COULD GO

49:56IN THAT DIRECTION.

49:57>> YEAH, I'M FINE TAKING THIS

49:58OFF OF TODAY'S AGENDA. I JUST

50:01MY CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE GOING

50:02TO END UP WITH A CHIEF

50:04ENGAGEMENT OFFICER WHO TRIES TO

50:05DO IT OUT OF THE ADMINISTRATION

50:07AGAIN. AND SO I'M HOPING THAT

50:09AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS, THAT

50:11WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ONE CITY

50:12THAT INCLUDES THIS SIDE OF THE

50:14DAIS, TOO. AND SO I THINK WE DO

50:16NEED TO DISCUSS IT BECAUSE AS

50:17LONG AS THIS POSITION IS HOUSED

50:19UNDER THE THE ADMINISTRATOR,

50:20WHICH I'VE, YOU KNOW, RAISED

50:21ISSUES WITH. BUT AS LONG AS

50:23IT'S THERE, WE HAVE TO MAKE

50:24SURE WE'RE GIVING CLEAR

50:25GUIDANCE ON IT OR WE'RE GOING

50:27TO KEEP REPLICATING DECADES OF,

50:28OF, OF BAD ENGAGEMENT AT THE

50:29CITY.

50:30>> WELL, I THINK, EMILY, WE'LL

50:31PUT A PIN IN THAT AND WE'LL

50:33COME BACK TO THAT. COUNCILOR.

50:35KOYAMA LANE.

50:36>> THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU. THANK

50:37YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, BUT

50:39THANK YOU EVEN MORE FOR THE

50:40REPORTS. I THINK THAT'S WHERE I

50:41FOUND THE MOST HELPFUL

50:43INFORMATION AND KIND OF MY

50:46COLLEAGUES STARTED THE

50:46CONVERSATION AROUND EQUITY. AND

50:48I WANT TO POINT US TO PAGE 17

50:51OF THE STRATEGY DOCUMENT, WHICH

50:54TALKS ABOUT THE ADOPTING A

50:56CITYWIDE EQUITY FRAMEWORK. AND

50:58I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I

50:59THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLY

51:00IMPORTANT. I ALSO APPRECIATE

51:02THAT THERE WAS LANGUAGE AROUND

51:04TARGETED UNIVERSALISM, AND IT

51:07WAS JUST WONDERING IF WE IF

51:08ANYONE COULD SPEAK TO WHERE

51:10WE'RE AT IN DEVELOPING OR

51:11ADOPTING A FRAMEWORK LIKE THIS.

51:15>> THANK YOU. I'M I'M GLAD

51:17YOU'RE FOCUSING IN ON THAT AND

51:19REVIEWING THE REPORT. WE HAD A

51:20LOT OF GREAT EQUITY

51:22PRACTITIONERS TAKE PART IN THIS

51:23WORK, AND OFFICER TILLMAN, OUR

51:28EQUITY OFFICER, HAS BEEN REALLY

51:30INVOLVED. AND I WOULD HAVE TO

51:32DEFER TO HER PROBABLY ON HOW

51:34WE'RE APPROACHING THAT. BUT I

51:36REALLY APPRECIATED. NOT

51:37EVERYONE LOVES ASSET MANAGEMENT

51:40IS IS REALLY KEEN TO REVIEW OUR

51:43WORK ON IT. AND SHE REALLY WAS

51:44AND SHE REALLY DUG INTO IT. SO

51:46I THINK THAT OFFICER TRISH AND

51:48OFFICER TILLMAN WILL CONTINUE

51:49TO WORK TOGETHER ON THAT.

51:51>> WHAT AN AMAZING ANSWER. I

51:52LOVE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE

51:54DOING THAT TOGETHER, AND I JUST

51:56CAN'T HELP BUT UNDERSCORE PART

51:57OF THAT CONVERSATION. JUST WANT

51:59TO, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR

52:00ASSETS BEING ACCESSIBLE, JUST

52:01WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING

52:02SURE WE'RE ALSO FOCUSING ON AGE

52:04FRIENDLY AND THINKING ABOUT HOW

52:05WE'RE MEETING PORTLANDERS NEEDS

52:07AT CRITICAL AGES AND STAGES.

52:09AND THEN ON PAGE EIGHT OF THAT

52:12REPORT TALKS ABOUT THE

52:14GOVERNANCE CHARTER, WHICH I'M

52:16REALLY EXCITED TO JUST I'M A

52:17BIG FAN OF CROSS BUREAU

52:19COORDINATION AND JUST I'M

52:20WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY

52:22DETAILS THAT CAN BE SHARED

52:23ABOUT HOW THAT GOVERNANCE

52:24CHARTER WOULD BE USED TO HELP

52:27WITH THAT COORDINATION ACROSS

52:29BUREAUS, LIKE FOR ASSETS, LIKE

52:30WHEN WE'RE REPLACING CURB CUTS

52:32OR OTHER PROJECTS WHERE

52:33DIFFERENT BUREAUS, SERVICE

52:34AREAS ARE GOING TO BE CROSSING

52:37COORDINATING.

52:38>> YES, DEFINITELY. I THINK

52:40WE'RE ALREADY SEEING THIS IN

52:42THE UNIFIED PUBLIC WORKS

52:44CAPITAL PROGRAM WORK THAT

52:46THEY'RE DOING. I KNOW CARRIE

52:47RUBIN'S WITH US TODAY, AND

52:49THEY'RE ALREADY LIKE, THE

52:51GOVERNANCE WORK WILL REALLY

52:52HELP EVERYONE COME TOGETHER AND

52:53SORT OF IDENTIFY JOINT PROJECTS

52:56AND OPPORTUNITIES TO REALLY

52:58COMBINE FORCES AND FIND

53:01EFFICIENCIES AND SAVINGS AND

53:02PARTNERING TOGETHER. AND I

53:03THINK THAT WILL SPILL OVER TO

53:05THE ENGAGEMENT ASPECT AS WELL.

53:06SO WE'RE AGAIN, ENGAGING MORE

53:08AS ONE CITY AND NOT DOING ALL

53:10THESE PROJECTS IN SEPARATE

53:12SILOS. AND THEN AS WE GET DOWN

53:14TO IMPLEMENTING THINGS LIKE

53:16CITY WIDE PRIORITIZATION AND

53:18THINKING ABOUT HAVING MORE OF A

53:20CITY WIDE CAPITAL PLAN, I THINK

53:21THAT GOVERNANCE WILL BE REALLY

53:24IMPORTANT TO WORK THROUGH THAT

53:26AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHICH

53:28PROJECTS TO PRIORITIZE.

53:29>> THANK YOU. SO GLAD YOU'RE

53:31HERE. EXCITED TO SEE NEXT STEPS.

53:33>> VERY MUCH.

53:34>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR

53:35COUNCILOR. WE'RE REALLY OUT OF

53:37TIME. I'M GOING TO FOREGO

53:38ASKING ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS

53:39POINT, BUT I'M GOING TO

53:40ENCOURAGE EMILY TO REACH OUT TO

53:42EACH MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE

53:44TO SCHEDULE SOME TIME, BECAUSE

53:46WE HAVEN'T HAD REALLY ADEQUATE

53:47TIME TODAY TO DISCUSS THIS. BUT

53:48I THINK IF YOU SIT DOWN WITH

53:50EACH OF US, IT'LL BE A MUCH

53:52MORE ROBUST CONVERSATION. BUT

53:53WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. WE'RE

53:54GLAD YOU'RE HERE. THANK YOU,

53:55TATE, FOR EVERYTHING THAT

53:56YOU'VE DONE UP TO THIS POINT.

53:58THANK YOU. AND WE WILL SEE YOU

54:01AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

54:02TODAY AND THE INTEREST OF TIME.

54:05LET'S MOVE RIGHT AHEAD. DIANA,

54:06CAN YOU PLEASE CALL THE NEXT

54:08ITEM?

54:09>> ITEM NUMBER TWO, DOCUMENT

54:10NUMBER 2026-357. LOCAL

54:16REGULATION OF AUTOMATED

54:18VEHICLES.

54:19>> THANK YOU. DIANA. COLLEAGUES,

54:20WE'RE RETURNING TO OUR

54:22DISCUSSION ON REGULATING THE

54:23COMMERCIAL OPERATION OF

54:25FOR-HIRE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ON

54:27PORTLAND STREETS. I DON'T THINK

54:29THAT AS A CITY, WE'RE REALLY

54:31READY FOR THESE VEHICLES, AND

54:34I'M AFRAID THEY'RE COMING. I

54:36BELIEVE WE NEED TO GET AHEAD OF

54:38THIS AND HAVE A FRAMEWORK READY

54:40TO REGULATE THIS INDUSTRY. NOT

54:42TO MENTION, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT

54:43WE SEND A SIGNAL TO THE STATE

54:46LEGISLATURE THAT WE ARE

54:47INVESTED IN ENSURING THE SAFE

54:49OPERATIONS OF THESE VEHICLES IN

54:51OUR CITY. AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

54:54COMPANIES HAVE THUS FAR MANAGED

54:55TO AVOID ANY CITY REGULATIONS

54:57ACROSS THE COUNTRY BY WORKING

55:00ON STATE LEVEL PREEMPTION, AND

55:02I'M AFRAID THAT MIGHT HAPPEN

55:04HERE. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE

55:05MOVE QUICKLY ON REGULATION TO

55:07MAKE IT CLEAR THAT AS A CITY,

55:09WE CARE ABOUT SAFETY,

55:12ACCOUNTABILITY AND OUR PRIVATE

55:13FOR HIRE WORKERS. I'VE ASKED

55:15PBOT TO BRING FORWARD POLICY

55:18CONCEPTS. I THINK HOPEFULLY

55:20THEY'VE MET WITH MOST OF YOU,

55:22AND WE WILL DISCUSS THIS TODAY

55:24AND THEN GET OUR FEEDBACK AND

55:26THEN BRING BACK A POTENTIAL

55:28ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION AT OUR

55:31OCTOBER 27TH MEETING FOR FOR A

55:33HEARING, PBOT SHARED DRAFT CODE

55:35LANGUAGE AS WELL AS POLICY

55:36CONCEPTS FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

55:38TO CONSIDER. I HOPE YOU'VE HAD

55:40TIME TO REVIEW IT. WE HAVE TIME

55:42FOR QUESTIONS TODAY AFTER WE

55:43GET A PBOT PRESENTATION. SO

55:47WELCOME. GREAT TO SEE YOU,

55:48SHOSHANA. DO YOU WANT TO KICK

55:50IT OFF?

55:50>> YES. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU.

55:52COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT, CLERK

55:53AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.

55:54FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS

55:56SHOSHANA COHEN. I'M THE CHIEF

55:57OF STAFF AT THE PORTLAND BUREAU

55:59OF TRANSPORTATION. AS WAS JUST

56:01NOTED, WE'RE HERE AGAIN TODAY

56:02TO TALK ABOUT AUTOMATED

56:05VEHICLES. AND AS WE'VE

56:06DISCUSSED WITH YOU ALL BEFORE,

56:08THIS IS A QUICKLY EVOLVING NEW

56:10TECHNOLOGY. IT'S ALREADY HAVING

56:11A BIG IMPACT ON MULTIPLE CITIES

56:13ACROSS THE COUNTRY. YOU LAST

56:15HEARD FROM US SPECIFICALLY IN

56:16JULY, WHEN WE BROUGHT SOME

56:18POLICY CONCEPTS TO THIS

56:19COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION. AND

56:21SINCE THEN, WE'VE CONTINUED TO

56:22LEARN ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF AVS

56:24FROM PEER CITIES AND HAVE

56:25CONTINUED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT A

56:27REGULATORY FRAMEWORK COULD LOOK

56:28LIKE. HERE. WE HAVE FURTHER

56:30REFINED THE POLICY CONCEPTS

56:32THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH YOU THEN.

56:33AND AS AS CHAIR CLARK JUST SAID,

56:35WE'VE WE'RE BEGINNING TO

56:37PREPARE A PACKAGE OF POTENTIAL

56:38CODE UPDATES THAT COULD BE

56:40IMPLEMENTED ALONG WITH

56:41ADMINISTRATIVE RULE UPDATES.

56:42NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO HERE'S

56:45OUR AGENDA. WE'LL START WITH A

56:48LITTLE BIT OF REFRESH OF SOME

56:50BACKGROUND AND UPDATES ON

56:51POLICY DEVELOPMENT, BOTH HERE

56:52AND IN THE STATE. AND THE STATE

56:54OF THE INDUSTRY IN OREGON WILL

56:56THEN DISCUSS THE PROPOSED CODE

56:57AND ADMINISTRATIVE RULES, WITH

56:59A FOCUS ON SOME OF THE MOST

57:00SIGNIFICANT POLICY AREAS. AND

57:02THEN FINALLY CLOSE OUT WITH A

57:04SUMMARY OF NEXT STEPS. SO I'D

57:08LIKE TO BEGIN AGAIN WITH A

57:09QUICK RECAP OF WHAT'S BEEN

57:10GOING ON IN PORTLAND AND OREGON

57:13AND THE WORK TO DATE. BACK IN

57:162017, A PREVIOUS PORTLAND CITY

57:17COUNCIL PASSED THE SAFE

57:19AUTOMATED VEHICLE INITIATIVE

57:21SAVVY, WHICH CHARGED PBOT WITH

57:23DEVELOPING INITIAL AV

57:24REGULATIONS TO ENSURE THAT THE

57:26NEW INDUSTRY ADVANCED THE

57:27CITY'S SAFETY, EQUITY, CLIMATE

57:29AND ECONOMIC GOALS. BASED ON

57:31THAT DIRECTIVE, PBOT ADOPTED

57:33ADMINISTRATIVE RULES THE

57:34FOLLOWING YEAR THAT ALLOWED FOR

57:36THE TESTING OF AVS WITH A

57:37PERMIT AND PROHIBITED

57:38COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT. HOWEVER,

57:41NO TESTING PERMITS UNDER THAT

57:42ADMINISTRATIVE RULE WERE EVER

57:44ISSUED. THAT SAME YEAR, THE

57:46STATE OF OREGON CREATED A TASK

57:47FORCE ON AUTOMATED VEHICLES,

57:49AND THE CITY OF PORTLAND AND

57:50MANY OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

57:52PARTICIPATED IN THAT TASK FORCE,

57:53WHICH ISSUED TWO REPORTS 1 IN

57:562018 AND 1 IN 2019 BEFORE BEING

57:59DISBANDED, DISSOLVED. IT THEN

58:02BECAME CLEAR THAT AUTOMATED

58:03VEHICLES WERE ACTUALLY SOME

58:05YEARS AWAY FROM COMMERCIAL

58:07OPERATIONS, AND WHILE STAFF

58:08CONTINUED TO TRACK THE TOPIC,

58:10WE PAUSED SIGNIFICANT STAFF

58:11WORK ON THE TOPIC LAST FALL,

58:13THEN BECAME AWARE OF A BILL IN

58:16THE STATE LEGISLATURE THAT

58:17WOULD HAVE ENABLED THE

58:18COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS OF AV

58:19STATEWIDE AND PREEMPTED

58:21PORTLAND, AS WELL AS OTHER

58:22LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. REGULATORY

58:24AUTHORITY AROUND AVS. NEXT

58:26SLIDE PLEASE. AT. OH, SORRY, I

58:31THINK I DID. NEXT SLIDE TO TOO

58:32QUICKLY. BUT AT THAT SAME TIME,

58:35WE BECAME AWARE THAT WAYMO WAS

58:37INTERESTED IN COMMERCIAL

58:38OPERATIONS IN PORTLAND. AND WE

58:40ALSO SAW AV OPERATORS PREPARING

58:42TO LAUNCH OPERATIONS IN GREATER

58:43NUMBER OF CITIES AROUND THE US.

58:45AND THIS CAUSED US TO REALIZE

58:47THAT IT REALLY WAS NECESSARY TO

58:48SORT OF DIVE BACK INTO THIS

58:49WORK. THAT'S WHEN WE BEGAN

58:51PROCESSING THE PROCESS OF

58:54UPDATING OUR ADMINISTRATIVE

58:55RULES AND TO THINK ABOUT CODE

58:56UPDATES. AND AT THAT TIME,

58:58IMPORTANTLY, WE ALSO MADE IT

58:59CLEAR, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD THE

59:01EXISTING AV TESTING RULES, WE

59:02WOULDN'T OFFER ANY ANY TESTING

59:04PERMITS UNTIL RULES HAD BEEN

59:05UPDATED. NOW NEXT SLIDE. SO IN

59:09EARLY 2026, THE CITY AND OTHERS

59:11SUBMITTED TESTIMONY AGAINST

59:12THAT STATE AV BILL, AND IT

59:14DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD. WE ALSO

59:16THAT'S WHEN WE BEGAN PRESENTING

59:18AT WHAT WAS THEN THE CITY

59:19COUNCIL'S TRANSPORTATION

59:21INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE ABOUT

59:22THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE

59:24ADMINISTRATIVE RULES IN

59:25FEBRUARY. AND THEN WE HELD AN

59:27EXTENDED PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

59:28FOR THE DRAFT RULES. WE ENGAGED

59:30A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS,

59:32PRIVATE FOR HIRE DRIVERS, ALL

59:33OF OUR COMMITTEES OREGON

59:35DISABILITIES COMMISSION AS WELL

59:37AS OTHERS, AND WE PUBLISHED A

59:39SUMMARY OF THE OVER 200

59:40COMMENTS WE RECEIVED DURING

59:41THAT FEEDBACK PERIOD ON OUR

59:43WEBSITE AND AND SPOKE TO YOU

59:44ONE OF THE TIMES WE WERE HERE.

59:47AND DURING THIS TIME, WE'VE

59:48ALSO BEEN CONNECTING WITH

59:49COLLEAGUES AROUND THE COUNTRY

59:50WHO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AVS

59:53FIRSTHAND TO LEARN ABOUT THE

59:54IMPACTS THEY'RE SEEING. THE

59:56NEXT MILESTONE WAS THAT IN IN

59:58APRIL, WAYMO BEGAN MAPPING IN

1:00:00PORTLAND. AND WHILE THEY ARE

1:00:02MAPPING, THEY HAVE A LICENSED

1:00:04HUMAN DRIVER OPERATING. SO THEY

1:00:05DON'T NEED A PERMIT FROM US AT

1:00:07THIS STAGE. WE ALSO KNOW

1:00:08THEY'RE MAPPING IN SOME OF THE

1:00:10OTHER CITIES AROUND THE REGION.

1:00:11AND THEN, AS WE ALREADY SAID,

1:00:13WE BROUGHT SEVEN KEY POLICY

1:00:14CONCEPTS TO THIS COMMITTEE IN

1:00:15JULY FOR DISCUSSION, AND WE'VE

1:00:17CONTINUED TO REFINE SINCE THEN.

1:00:19THE LAST NOTE IS THAT WE'RE

1:00:21ALSO NOW GETTING READY AGAIN

1:00:22FOR THE 2027 STATE LEGISLATIVE

1:00:24SESSION, WHERE WE DO EXPECT AT

1:00:25THIS POINT TO SEE MORE

1:00:27LEGISLATION ALREADY DURING THE

1:00:29RECENT SEPTEMBER LEGISLATIVE

1:00:31DAYS IN SALEM, WAYMO PRESENTED

1:00:33AT THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON

1:00:35TRANSPORTATION. THE

1:00:37PRESENTATION WAS FOCUSED ON ON

1:00:39SAFETY, AND THE WAYMO PUBLIC

1:00:40POLICY MANAGER SAID THAT HE

1:00:41LOOKED FORWARD TO BUILDING ON

1:00:42THE LEGISLATION PRESENTED IN

1:00:43THE PAST, AND REPRESENTATIVE

1:00:46MCLAIN, THE CHAIR OF THE

1:00:47COMMITTEE, STATED THAT SHE

1:00:48WANTED TO AVOID THE PIECEMEAL

1:00:50REGULATION SCENARIO THAT

1:00:51HAPPENED WITH TRANSPORTATION

1:00:52NETWORK COMPANIES. AT THE SAME

1:00:54TIME, OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE

1:00:56NORTH IN WASHINGTON STATE ARE

1:00:57ALSO FACING PRESSURE TO ENABLE

1:00:59AUTOMATED VEHICLE STATEWIDE.

1:01:00WE'VE JUST RECENTLY BEEN GIVEN

1:01:02A COPY OF DRAFT LEGISLATION

1:01:04THAT WE'VE HEARD IS A

1:01:05COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO

1:01:07ROBOTAXI COMPANIES, ZOOX AND

1:01:08WAYMO, AND WE HAVEN'T HAD A

1:01:10CHANCE YET TO SORT OF DIG IN

1:01:11CLOSELY ENOUGH. BUT WE WILL,

1:01:13AND WE EXPECT IT MAY OFFER A

1:01:15GLIMPSE INTO WHAT WE'LL SEE

1:01:16HERE. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN

1:01:20HAPPENING HERE AND IN OREGON,

1:01:22AND AT THE SAME TIME, IS

1:01:24HAPPENING WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF

1:01:25A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT

1:01:26THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES THAT

1:01:29ROBOTAXI OPERATIONS MAY

1:01:30INTRODUCE TO OUR CITIES, AS

1:01:31WELL AS THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS

1:01:33TO PAUSE AND ACKNOWLEDGE.

1:01:34SOMETIMES WE'RE SAYING ROBOTAXI

1:01:36COMPANIES AND SOMETIMES WE'RE

1:01:37SAYING AUTOMATED VEHICLES. IT'S,

1:01:39I THINK, JARGON OF THE INDUSTRY

1:01:42THAT HAS MADE ITS WAY INTO OUR

1:01:44TALKING POINTS. BUT IT'S THE

1:01:45SAME THING. AND LIKE OUR

1:01:48DISCUSSIONS HERE, MANY OTHERS

1:01:50ARE GRAPPLING WITH CONCERNS

1:01:52SUCH AS NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO

1:01:54TRAFFIC SAFETY AND OTHER RIGHT

1:01:55OF WAY USERS. THE LOSS OF JOBS,

1:02:00PRIVACY CONCERNS, POTENTIAL TO

1:02:02GROW VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED,

1:02:04ADD CONGESTION AND IMPACT LAND

1:02:07USE AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS.

1:02:09AND THESE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES

1:02:11HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE

1:02:13REGULATORY POLICY PROPOSALS

1:02:14THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU

1:02:15TODAY FOR CONSIDERATION. AT THE

1:02:17SAME TIME, NOT ALL THE NATIONAL

1:02:19DISCOURSE IS BEEN NEGATIVE. WE

1:02:21ALL KNOW OUR TRANSPORTATION

1:02:23SYSTEM AROUND THE COUNTRY HAS

1:02:25REAL TRAFFIC SAFETY PROBLEMS.

1:02:26SO THE POTENTIAL FOR AVS TO

1:02:28BRING SAFETY BENEFITS IS PART

1:02:30OF THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION.

1:02:31THE FIRST MAJOR THIRD PARTY

1:02:33STUDY LOOKING AT WAYMO SAFETY

1:02:35DATA WAS RECENTLY CONDUCTED BY

1:02:37THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR

1:02:38HIGHWAY SAFETY. AND WHILE WE

1:02:40DEFINITELY WANT TO STILL DIG IN

1:02:41AND BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS

1:02:43STUDY, SO FAR WE'VE HEARD THAT

1:02:45IT FOUND THAT PER MILE WAYMO

1:02:47VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED IN 68%

1:02:49FEWER CRASHES THAN HUMAN

1:02:50DRIVERS. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO

1:02:52THE POTENTIAL FOR AVS TO

1:02:53PROVIDE PERSONAL SAFETY

1:02:55BENEFITS AND TO FEEL SAFER AND

1:02:56MORE COMFORTABLE FOR SOME USERS.

1:02:59WHILE SOME OF US ARE JUST

1:03:00CONSIDERING POTENTIAL

1:03:01CHALLENGES OR BENEFITS, OTHER

1:03:03CITIES, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE

1:03:04ALREADY EXPERIENCING THEM.

1:03:06THERE ARE AT LEAST 15 OTHER

1:03:08CITIES WHERE AVS ARE ALREADY

1:03:10OPERATING. NEXT SLIDE. AND IN

1:03:12THESE 15 CITIES, THEY'RE ALL

1:03:14OPERATING WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN

1:03:16PREEMPTED BY STATE LEGISLATION

1:03:18AND WITHOUT. AND SO THEY DON'T

1:03:20HAVE THE LOCAL REGULATORY

1:03:21OVERSIGHT. SO WITHOUT THIS

1:03:23REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, THESE

1:03:24CITIES ARE EXPERIENCING

1:03:25CHALLENGES. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW

1:03:27MANY FOR HIRE AVS ARE OPERATING

1:03:29IN THEIR CITIES. THEY DON'T

1:03:30RECEIVE DATA ON WHERE PICK UPS

1:03:31AND DROP OFFS ARE HAPPENING. SO

1:03:33THEY CAN'T WORK TO MANAGE CURB

1:03:34SPACE OR THOUGHTFULLY

1:03:35PRIORITIZE DIFFERENT USERS.

1:03:37WE'RE SEEING CITIES STRUGGLE

1:03:39WITH MANAGING HOW ROBO TAXIS

1:03:40INTERACT WITH LARGE EVENTS, OR

1:03:42EVEN REGULAR EVENTS LIKE

1:03:43FARMERS MARKETS. AND PERHAPS

1:03:45MOST IMPORTANTLY, THESE CITIES

1:03:46HAVE NO WAY TO SUSPEND OR

1:03:48REVOKE AV COMPANY PERMITS. IF

1:03:50THESE CITIES HAVE ISSUES OR

1:03:52COMPLAINTS, THEY HAVE TO RAISE

1:03:54THEM TO STATE REGULATORY

1:03:55REGULATORS WHO MAY NOT

1:03:56UNDERSTAND THE LOCAL CONTEXT OR

1:03:58TAKE ANY ACTION. ON THE OTHER

1:04:01HAND, THE AV COMPANIES WANT TO

1:04:02SEE REGULATION AT THE STATE

1:04:03LEVEL RATHER THAN THE CITY

1:04:05LEVEL. AND AND WE'VE HEARD THEM

1:04:06SAY THAT WITHOUT STATEWIDE

1:04:08CONSISTENCY, THERE'LL BE A

1:04:09PATCHWORK OF REGULATIONS THEY

1:04:10CAN'T OPERATE IN. THIS IS THE

1:04:12SAME ARGUMENT THAT WE HEARD FOR

1:04:14MANY YEARS FROM TRANSPORTATION

1:04:15NETWORK COMPANIES. HOWEVER, THE

1:04:17CITY OF PORTLAND HAS WORKED

1:04:18VERY HARD OVER THE YEARS TO

1:04:20MAINTAIN OUR LOCAL AUTHORITY TO

1:04:22REGULATE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK

1:04:23COMPANIES. AND WE'RE ONE OF THE

1:04:24FEW CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

1:04:26THAT HAS MAINTAINED THIS

1:04:27AUTHORITY, AND IT'S ALLOWED US

1:04:29TO DO ALL SORTS OF THINGS TO

1:04:31COLLECT TRIP LEVEL DATA, TO

1:04:32UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF TAX

1:04:34ON OUR SYSTEM, TO SET OUR OWN

1:04:36TRIP FEES, AND TO DO THINGS

1:04:37LIKE CREATE THE RECENTLY PASSED

1:04:39DRIVER'S RESOURCE CENTER. AND

1:04:42WE HAVE NOT SEEN A PATCHWORK OF

1:04:44REGULATIONS DEVELOP. PORTLAND'S

1:04:46REGULATIONS SERVE AS THE

1:04:47REGION'S REGULATIONS SO DRIVERS

1:04:49CAN GO SEAMLESSLY BETWEEN

1:04:51PORTLAND, BEAVERTON, GRESHAM,

1:04:53WHEREVER ELSE THEY NEED TO

1:04:54DRIVE TO GO TO DRIVE PASSENGERS.

1:05:00SO WE'RE HERE TODAY AGAIN TO

1:05:02SAY, JUST TO SHARE SOME OPTIONS

1:05:03FOR WHAT REGULATIONS COULD

1:05:04POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE HERE.

1:05:06THIS IS A COMPLEX AREA NO OTHER

1:05:08CITY IN THE COUNTRY HAS, AS

1:05:10CHAIR CLARK SAID, HAS PASSED

1:05:12REGULATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL

1:05:13ROBOTAXI SERVICE. YET

1:05:15MINNEAPOLIS AND WASHINGTON, DC

1:05:17ARE SORT OF LIKE US AND CLOSE

1:05:19IN THINKING ABOUT IT,

1:05:20DEVELOPING A REGULATORY

1:05:21FRAMEWORK. AND THE MINNEAPOLIS

1:05:22CITY COUNCIL RECENTLY PASSED A

1:05:24PROPOSAL, BUT IT WAS LATER

1:05:26VETOED BY THE MAYOR A FEW DAYS

1:05:27LATER. SO WHILE THERE'S NO

1:05:29COMPLETE CITY MODEL, WE CAN

1:05:31LOOK TO THE IDEAS WE'VE SHARED

1:05:32WITH YOU TODAY HAVE VERY MUCH

1:05:34BEEN INFORMED BY THE

1:05:35EXPERIENCES OF OTHER CITIES,

1:05:36BOTH THOSE WHO HAVE THEM AND

1:05:38WHO ARE CONSIDERING WHAT MIGHT

1:05:40HAPPEN. AND THE OPTIONS FOR

1:05:42PRESENTING ARE ALSO DESIGNED TO

1:05:44BE ALIGNED WITH PORTLAND SAFETY,

1:05:45CLIMATE EQUITY AND MOBILITY

1:05:47GOALS. AND IN ADDITION TO

1:05:48LOOKING AND TALKING TO PEER

1:05:49CITIES, WE'VE SPOKEN WITH

1:05:50SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT STAFF

1:05:52FROM ACROSS CITY BUREAUS. AND

1:05:55THE FINAL THING BEFORE I HAND

1:05:56IT OVER, IS THAT THE CURRENT

1:05:58PROPOSALS ARE INTENDED TO GO

1:05:59SLOW WITH THE ROLLOUT, TO

1:06:00VERIFY THAT COMPANIES ARE

1:06:01MEETING OUR STANDARDS AND TO

1:06:03ENSURE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO

1:06:04EVALUATE THE PROGRAM AND UPDATE

1:06:05OUR REGULATIONS AS NEEDED. AND

1:06:07WITH THAT, I'LL HAND IT OVER TO

1:06:08JACOB SHERMAN TO DIVE IN MORE.

1:06:10>> GREAT. THANKS SO MUCH,

1:06:12SHAUNA. GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL

1:06:13VICE PRESIDENT CLARK, MEMBERS

1:06:14OF THE COMMITTEE. FOR THE

1:06:16RECORD, MY NAME IS JACOB

1:06:17SHERMAN. I LEAD THE CITY'S WORK

1:06:18ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AT THE

1:06:20BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION. MY

1:06:22TEAM AND I WORK ON POLICY AND

1:06:24PROJECTS, INCLUDING ELECTRIC

1:06:25VEHICLE, CAR CHARGING GOODS,

1:06:27MOVEMENT, ZERO EMISSION FREIGHT,

1:06:28THE PRIVATE FOR HIRE INDUSTRY,

1:06:30SHARED MICROMOBILITY AND

1:06:32AUTOMATED VEHICLES. NEXT SLIDE.

1:06:34I'D LIKE TO GIVE A QUICK

1:06:36OVERVIEW OF THE CODE PACKAGE

1:06:37AND ADMINISTRATIVE RULES THAT

1:06:39KIND OF SHAPE UP OUR REGULATORY

1:06:41APPROACH. I'M GOING TO GO

1:06:42THROUGH THIS AT A REALLY HIGH

1:06:44LEVEL TO HELP YOU GET KIND OF

1:06:45THE COMPLETE PICTURE. AND THEN

1:06:47I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO MY

1:06:48COLLEAGUE HANNAH, WHO'S GOING

1:06:50TO DIVE IN ON SOME OF THE

1:06:51SPECIFIC POLICY PROPOSALS. I

1:06:53THINK IN MANY WAYS, KIND OF

1:06:55PRESENTING THIS COMPLETE

1:06:56PICTURE AS AS A PUZZLE AND NOT

1:06:58FOCUSING SO MUCH ON THE

1:06:59INDIVIDUAL PIECES, BUT THE BIG

1:07:01PICTURE. SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

1:07:02THAT AGAIN, BEFORE DIVING IN.

1:07:05FIRST, I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE

1:07:06DRAFT ADMINISTRATIVE RULES THAT

1:07:08WE'RE PROPOSING WILL NOT GO

1:07:09INTO EFFECT UNTIL AT LEAST JULY

1:07:121ST, 2027, AT THE EARLIEST.

1:07:14ANYTHING THAT YOU PASS WILL

1:07:16TAKE TIME FOR US TO BUILD THE

1:07:17SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES TO

1:07:19ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT. AND SO

1:07:21WE'LL NEED WE WOULD NEED ANY

1:07:23TIME AND WOULD NOT BE ISSUING

1:07:24ANY PERMITS IN THE MEANTIME.

1:07:26NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS THE SET

1:07:29OF REGULATIONS THAT TOGETHER,

1:07:30WE THINK WILL MANAGE THE

1:07:32OPERATION OF FOUR AYE, MORILLO

1:07:33VEHICLES. I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT

1:07:35A FEW THINGS. FIRST, ALL AV

1:07:38COMPANIES WOULD BE REQUIRED TO

1:07:39SUBMIT A MAP OF THE AREA OF THE

1:07:41CITY THAT THEY INTEND TO

1:07:42OPERATE, AS WELL AS A

1:07:44DESCRIPTION OF WHAT TIME, WHAT

1:07:46ROADS, WHAT SPEED LIMITS, WHAT

1:07:48WEATHER, AND WHAT OTHER KIND OF

1:07:50CONDITIONS THEY WOULD BE

1:07:51OPERATING IN BEFORE THEY COULD

1:07:53BEGIN THOSE OPERATIONS, CITY

1:07:55STAFF AND THE CITY

1:07:56ADMINISTRATOR WOULD HAVE TO

1:07:57REVIEW AND APPROVE THESE

1:07:58MATERIALS, KNOWN AS AN

1:07:59OPERATIONAL DESIGN DOMAIN, IF

1:08:01THE COMPANIES WANTED TO CHANGE

1:08:03THOSE AT ANY ASPECT IN THE

1:08:04FUTURE, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO

1:08:06RESUBMIT AND GET REAPPROVED

1:08:08OPERATIONAL DESIGN DOMAINS.

1:08:09THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS

1:08:10IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

1:08:12CURRENTLY. SECOND, OUR PROPOSAL

1:08:14REQUIRES THAT FOR HIRE AVS BE

1:08:16FULLY BATTERY ELECTRIC AND

1:08:18REGISTERED IN OREGON. THIS

1:08:19WOULD AUTOMATICALLY REQUIRE

1:08:21THEM TO BE ENROLLED IN THE

1:08:22OREGO PROGRAM, WHICH IS

1:08:24OREGON'S ROAD USAGE CHARGE

1:08:25PROGRAM THAT RESULTS IN A PER

1:08:27MILE VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED FEE

1:08:30TO HELP OFFSET THE STATE'S LACK

1:08:32OF GAS TAX THAT COMES FROM AVS

1:08:35OR FROM EVS. WE THINK THIS IS A

1:08:37REALLY KIND OF IMPORTANT

1:08:38APPROACH AND WANTED TO

1:08:40HIGHLIGHT THAT FOR YOU ALL.

1:08:41NEXT SLIDE. WE ALSO HAVE A SET

1:08:44OF DIFFERENT REGULATIONS THAT

1:08:45TOGETHER FOCUS ON SAFETY AND

1:08:47REPORTING AND VISION ZERO TO

1:08:48BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY COMPANY'S

1:08:50SAFETY RECORD, ALL COMPANIES

1:08:52WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A

1:08:54DESCRIPTION OF THEIR EXPERIENCE,

1:08:55INCLUDING ALL REPORTED CRASHES,

1:08:57INJURIES AND INCIDENTS THAT

1:08:59NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE TRAFFIC

1:09:01SYSTEM. COMPANIES WOULD ALSO BE

1:09:02REQUIRED TO SHARE ANY CRASH

1:09:04RECORDS THAT THEY MUST FILE

1:09:06WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY

1:09:07TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION

1:09:09WITH PBOT, AS WELL AS WITH THE

1:09:11STATE OF OREGON. ALL COMPANIES

1:09:13WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AND

1:09:15REVIEW AND RECEIVE APPROVAL FOR

1:09:17THAT OPERATIONS PLAN, DETAILING

1:09:19HOW THEY'LL HANDLE PORTLAND

1:09:21SPECIFIC ELEMENTS OF THE

1:09:22TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, SUCH AS

1:09:24SOME OF OUR BIKE BUSSES OR OUR

1:09:26UNIQUE BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE

1:09:28THAT WE HAVE. WE'RE ALSO

1:09:30WORKING WITH THE CITY

1:09:31ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ON A SET OF

1:09:33INSURANCE AND LIABILITY LEVELS

1:09:35TO PROTECT ALL PORTLANDERS.

1:09:36BOTH PASSENGERS INSIDE THE AVS,

1:09:38AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE

1:09:40PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. NEXT SLIDE.

1:09:43WHILE THERE'S MANY PROMISES TO

1:09:45SOME OF THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY,

1:09:47THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE

1:09:48REQUIRE COORDINATION WITH THE

1:09:49CITY TO REALLY BE REALIZED. SO,

1:09:51FOR EXAMPLE, WE THINK AV

1:09:53COMPANIES MUST COMPLY WITH CITY

1:09:54ISSUED GEOFENCES TO ENSURE THAT

1:09:57THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT

1:09:58DISRUPTING EVENTS IN THE STREET,

1:10:00SUCH AS A SUNDAY PARKWAYS EVENT,

1:10:02A CRASH THAT COULD OCCUR, THE

1:10:04PORTLAND MARATHON OR OTHER

1:10:05KINDS OF FIRST RESPONDER EVENTS.

1:10:08ADDITIONALLY, WE'D LIKE AV

1:10:09COMPANIES TO SHARE TRIP DATA

1:10:10WITH THE CITY SO WE CAN FULLY

1:10:12UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THIS

1:10:13NEW TECHNOLOGY AND USE THAT

1:10:14DATA TO HELP INFORM POLICY AND

1:10:17CHANGES IN THE FUTURE. BY

1:10:19SHARING WHERE PICK UP AND DROP

1:10:21OFFS OCCUR, WE CAN ADD PICKUP

1:10:22AND DROP OFF SPACES TO THE CURB.

1:10:25WE CURRENTLY HAVE SOME OF THESE

1:10:26KNOWN AS FAST STOPS, TO HELP

1:10:28ENSURE THAT WE'RE DOING SAFE

1:10:31PICKUP AND DROP OFF AND NOT

1:10:32DOING PICKUP AND DROP OFF AND

1:10:34THINGS LIKE THE BICYCLE LANE.

1:10:36WE HAVE A SET OF DATA PRIVACY

1:10:38REQUIREMENTS THAT HANNAH WILL

1:10:39DIVE. HANNAH WILL DIVE DEEPER

1:10:41INTO IN A MOMENT. NEXT SLIDE.

1:10:45THE FINAL KIND OF BIG PICTURE

1:10:47OVERVIEW SET OF REGULATIONS IS

1:10:49TO USE OUR LOCAL AUTHORITY TO

1:10:51ACTIVELY MANAGE THE PACE OF

1:10:53CHANGE. AS SHOSHANA SAID

1:10:55EARLIER, OUR PROPOSED STRATEGY

1:10:56IS TO GO SLOW AND VERIFY

1:10:59COMPLIANCE AND SAFE OPERATIONS

1:11:00OF AVS AND TO EVALUATE CHANGE

1:11:03AS NEEDED. TO THIS END, PBOT IS

1:11:05PROPOSING WE'D CONDUCT AN

1:11:07ANNUAL REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND

1:11:08SAFETY. WE DEVELOP A REPORT

1:11:10THAT WOULD HELP INFORM CHANGES

1:11:12TO FLEET CAPS, WHICH HANNAH

1:11:14WILL TALK ABOUT NEXT, AS WELL

1:11:15AS ANY OTHER CHANGES THAT MAY

1:11:17BE NEEDED. WE'LL ALSO REQUIRE

1:11:19COMPANIES TO CONDUCT TRAINING

1:11:21AND DEMONSTRATION EVENTS WITH

1:11:22FIRST RESPONDERS TO HELP ENSURE

1:11:24THAT POLICE, FIRE AND OTHER

1:11:26FIRST RESPONDERS KNOW HOW TO

1:11:28MANAGE AVS IN AN EMERGENCY

1:11:31SITUATION. NEXT SLIDE. SO

1:11:33TOGETHER, KIND OF BIG PICTURE.

1:11:34WE THINK THIS PACKAGE OF POLICY

1:11:36PROPOSALS IS DESIGNED TO SET A

1:11:38HIGH BAR FOR AV OPERATIONS.

1:11:40SOME OF THE POLICIES WE'RE

1:11:42DISCUSSING WILL BE ADVANCED

1:11:44THROUGH CITY CODE, WHILE OTHER

1:11:45WOULD BE ADVANCED THROUGH

1:11:46ADMINISTRATIVE RULES. AND THIS

1:11:48IS BECAUSE THERE'S A FEW

1:11:49DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT WE THINK

1:11:51ABOUT WHEN DETERMINING WHETHER

1:11:53WE RECOMMEND SOMETHING BE IN

1:11:54CITY CODE OR ADMIN RULE. CITY

1:11:56CODE, AS YOU MIGHT KNOW, IS

1:11:58GENERALLY RESERVED FOR POLICIES

1:11:59THAT ARE BIGGER PICTURE AND

1:12:00MORE FOUNDATIONAL AND DURABLE,

1:12:02RATHER THAN KIND OF FINE

1:12:04GRAINED, FINE GRAINED

1:12:07IMPLEMENTATION. THINGS THAT

1:12:08MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE IN THE

1:12:09FUTURE, SUCH AS ADMINISTRATIVE

1:12:11RULES, WHICH IS THE PLACE WHERE

1:12:12WE REALLY DEFINE HOW POLICIES

1:12:14ARE IMPLEMENTED AND CAN BE

1:12:17DYNAMIC AND UPDATED MORE

1:12:19REGULARLY. ADMINISTRATIVE RULES,

1:12:21THOUGH IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE,

1:12:22HAVE A PUBLIC PROCESS. THEY'RE

1:12:24SHARED WITH CITY COUNCIL BEFORE

1:12:26ANY REVIEW OR BEFORE ANY

1:12:28APPROVAL HAPPENS, AND THEY'RE

1:12:29ALSO SUBJECT TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY.

1:12:32SO GIVEN THE NATURE OF TRYING

1:12:34TO REGULATE A BRAND NEW

1:12:36TECHNOLOGY THAT'S RAPIDLY

1:12:38EVOLVING, WE'RE PROPOSING

1:12:39PUTTING SOME POLICY IN CODE AND

1:12:41OTHER POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE

1:12:43RULES SO THAT WE CAN MANAGE

1:12:44CHANGES AS WE GO FORWARD. I'M

1:12:46GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO HANNAH.

1:12:48NOW, WHO'S GOING TO DIG IN ON

1:12:49SOME OF THOSE SPECIFIC POLICY

1:12:51PROPOSALS?

1:12:52>> THANKS, JACOB.

1:12:53>> GOOD MORNING, VICE VICE

1:12:55PRESIDENT CLARK AND COUNCILORS.

1:12:56FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS

1:12:57HANNAH MORRISON, AND I'M A

1:12:59PLANNER ON THE MOBILITY

1:13:00INNOVATION SECTION AT PBOT. AS

1:13:02YOU MAY REMEMBER, WE BROUGHT A

1:13:03SET OF POLICY CONCEPTS TO YOU

1:13:05ALL THIS SUMMER TO GET FEEDBACK

1:13:06AND DIRECTION. AND BASED ON

1:13:07THOSE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD

1:13:08WITH YOU ALL, WE'VE REFINED

1:13:10THOSE POLICIES, AND I'M GOING

1:13:11TO DIG IN A LITTLE DEEPER. THE

1:13:14FIRST POLICY PROPOSAL IS THE

1:13:15ONE THAT SETS THE STAGE REALLY

1:13:17FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. THE CITY

1:13:18HAS REGULATED PRIVATE FOR HIRE

1:13:19TRANSPORTATION FOR OVER 100

1:13:21YEARS, AND WE NEED TO ADD

1:13:22DEFINITIONS OF AUTOMATED

1:13:23VEHICLES INTO OUR PRIVATE FOR

1:13:25HIRE CODE TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT

1:13:26THE COMPANIES USING AVS TO

1:13:28OFFER A PRIVATE FOR HIRE

1:13:29SERVICE ARE REGULATED. LIKE

1:13:30OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY, THIS

1:13:32PROPOSAL HAS NOT CHANGED

1:13:34SUBSTANTIVELY SINCE JULY. IN

1:13:36ADDITION TO ADDING A DEFINITION

1:13:37FOR AUTOMATED VEHICLES, WE HAVE

1:13:38ADDED A FEW OTHER AV SPECIFIC

1:13:40DEFINITIONS, AS YOU SEE ON THE

1:13:42SLIDE, AND ADDED SOME AV

1:13:43SPECIFIC LANGUAGE TO A FEW

1:13:44OTHER DEFINITIONS. AND ALL OF

1:13:46THESE ARE BASED ON LANGUAGE

1:13:47FROM THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOBILE

1:13:49ENGINEERS, WHICH REALLY SETS

1:13:50THE NATIONAL STANDARD. THE

1:13:54SECOND POLICY CONCEPT IS TO

1:13:56ESTABLISH THE AUTHORITY TO SET

1:13:57FLEET CAPS FOR AVS IN CITY CODE.

1:13:59THESE FLEET CAPS WOULD APPLY TO

1:14:01BOTH AVS WITH TESTING PERMITS

1:14:03AND FOR HIRE PERMITS, AND

1:14:05SETTING THESE CAPS ON AVS WILL

1:14:06HELP US SAFELY MANAGE THIS

1:14:08CHANGE TO OUR STREETS AND THE

1:14:09FOR HIRE INDUSTRY. THIS

1:14:11PROPOSAL SETS THE EXPECTATION

1:14:12THAT, BASED ON THE ANNUAL

1:14:13EVALUATION OF OPERATIONAL

1:14:15IMPACTS OF AVS THAT JACOB JUST

1:14:16TALKED ABOUT, THE CITY

1:14:18ADMINISTRATOR WOULD PROPOSE

1:14:19UPDATES TO BOTH THE PER COMPANY

1:14:21FLEET CAP AND THE CITYWIDE FOR

1:14:22HIRE AV FLEET CAP. SINCE WE ARE

1:14:25PROPOSING THE ACTUAL FLEET CAP

1:14:26NUMBERS TO BE SET, AN

1:14:27ADMINISTRATIVE RULE, ANY UPDATE

1:14:30TO THE FLEET CAP NUMBERS WOULD

1:14:31THEN GO THROUGH THE

1:14:32ADMINISTRATIVE RULE PUBLIC

1:14:33PROCESS WITH A 30 DAY PUBLIC

1:14:35COMMENT PERIOD AND OPTION FOR A

1:14:36PUBLIC HEARING. THIS PUBLIC

1:14:38ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WOULD HELP

1:14:39ENSURE THAT ANY CHANGES TO AV

1:14:41FLEET CAPS OCCUR THROUGH

1:14:42TRANSPARENT CONVERSATION WITH

1:14:43THE PUBLIC AND WITH CITY

1:14:45COUNCIL, AND IS INFORMED BY

1:14:46DETAILED REPORTING ON

1:14:48PORTLAND'S ON THE GROUND

1:14:49EXPERIENCE WITH AVS. WITH THAT

1:14:52IN MIND, I DO WANT TO SHARE AN

1:14:53INITIAL PROPOSAL OF PER COMPANY

1:14:55AND CITY WIDE AV FLEET CAPS.

1:14:56FOR THE FIRST YEAR, WE

1:14:58CONSIDERED A FEW THINGS WHILE

1:15:00DEVELOPING THIS PROPOSAL. FIRST,

1:15:01THERE ARE CURRENTLY OVER 15,000

1:15:03PERMITTED UBER AND LYFT DRIVERS

1:15:05IN THE CITY. WHILE THEY'RE NOT

1:15:06ALL DRIVING FULL TIME, SO IT'S

1:15:08NOT A 1 TO 1 COMPARISON. WE

1:15:10TRIED TO KEEP THE NUMBER OF AVS

1:15:11SMALL COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF

1:15:12HUMAN FOR HIRE DRIVERS. WE ALSO

1:15:14LOOKED AT FLEET CAPS OR FLEET

1:15:16SIZES AND OTHER CITIES, WHICH

1:15:18IS ADMITTEDLY CHALLENGING SINCE

1:15:19NO OTHER CITIES HAVE

1:15:20REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE

1:15:21COMPANIES TO TELL THEM JUST HOW

1:15:23MANY AVS ARE OPERATING IN THEIR

1:15:24CITY. BUT THIRD PARTIES HAVE

1:15:26ESTIMATED OVER A THOUSAND AVS

1:15:28IN SAN FRANCISCO, WHICH IS

1:15:29LIKELY THE LARGEST FOR HIRE

1:15:31MARKET. SO THESE PROPOSED YEAR

1:15:33ONE FLEET CAPS WOULD LIMIT THE

1:15:35FLEET TO ROUGHLY 1.5% OF

1:15:37PORTLAND'S TOTAL PRIVATE FOR

1:15:38HIRE FLEET, ALLOWING FOR A

1:15:40SMALL ROLLOUT OF THIS NEW

1:15:42TECHNOLOGY. WHILE THE REST OF

1:15:42OUR REGULATIONS THAT JACOB

1:15:44SHARED WORK IN CONCERT WITH

1:15:46EACH OTHER TO MANAGE DAILY

1:15:47OPERATIONS. THE NEXT POLICY

1:15:51PROPOSAL IS TO CLEARLY DEFINE

1:15:52TESTING PERMIT METRICS. SO

1:15:54UNDER THIS PROPOSAL, EVERY AV

1:15:56COMPANY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO

1:15:57BEGIN LOCAL OPERATIONS WITH A

1:15:59TESTING PERMIT TO ENSURE THAT

1:16:00THEY PROVE THEIR TECHNOLOGY CAN

1:16:02NAVIGATE THE UNIQUE ASPECTS OF

1:16:03PORTLAND STREETS. THIS TESTING

1:16:05PERMIT IS A REQUIRED FIRST STEP.

1:16:07BEFORE AV COMPANIES COULD OFFER

1:16:08ANY PAID RIDES WITH A FOR HIRE

1:16:10PERMIT, ALL COMPANIES AV DRIVER

1:16:13OR THAT SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT IS

1:16:14THEIR AV DRIVER WOULD BE

1:16:16REQUIRED TO LOG 50,000 MILES

1:16:18CUMULATIVELY ACROSS THEIR FLEET

1:16:19WITH A TESTING PERMIT, BEFORE

1:16:21BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR

1:16:23THAT FOR HIRE. AV PERMIT THIS

1:16:2550,000 MILE REQUIREMENT IS

1:16:27BASED OFF OF BEST PRACTICES

1:16:28FROM CALIFORNIA'S STATE LEVEL

1:16:31REGULATIONS, BUT WE ALSO

1:16:32BELIEVE IT'S THE RIGHT BALANCE

1:16:33OR COULD BE THE RIGHT BALANCE,

1:16:34BETWEEN PROVING THAT THE AV

1:16:36DRIVER CAN SAFELY NAVIGATE OUR

1:16:37CITY WHILE NOT BEING TOO MANY

1:16:38MILES, THAT WE'RE ENCOURAGING.

1:16:40EMPTY VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED ON

1:16:41OUR STREETS, AND WHILE THE SAME

1:16:44AV DRIVER WOULD BE COMPLETING

1:16:45THE ENTIRE 50,000 MILE

1:16:48REQUIREMENT, THIS PROPOSAL DOES

1:16:49SPLIT TESTING INTO TWO PHASES.

1:16:50AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING BASED

1:16:51OFF OF BEST PRACTICES IN

1:16:53CALIFORNIA. THE FIRST 25,000

1:16:55MILES OF A TESTING PERMIT MUST

1:16:57BE

1:16:57>> BE COMPLETED WITH A LICENSED

1:16:58HUMAN DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE,

1:16:59WHILE THE SECOND 25,000 MILES

1:17:01COULD BE COMPLETED WITH NO

1:17:02HUMAN DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE.

1:17:07NEXT IS THE PROPOSAL AROUND

1:17:08METRICS FOR PERMIT SUSPENSION.

1:17:09FOR THAT A DRIVER, AND THESE

1:17:11METRICS WERE REALLY INFORMED BY

1:17:13THE MANY CLAIMS FROM AV

1:17:15COMPANIES THAT THEIR AV DRIVERS

1:17:16ARE MUCH SAFER THAN HUMAN

1:17:18DRIVERS. THESE METRICS WERE

1:17:19INFORMED. WE HAVE A STANDARD

1:17:21FOR HUMAN PRIVATE HIRE DRIVERS

1:17:22TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE PERMITTING

1:17:24SAFE DRIVERS, AND IN PORTLAND,

1:17:26WE SUSPEND A HUMAN TAXI, UBER

1:17:27OR LYFT DRIVER IF THEY GET TWO

1:17:29TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS IN A SINGLE

1:17:31YEAR OR A TOTAL OF THREE

1:17:32VIOLATIONS IN FIVE YEARS. AND

1:17:34HERE WE'RE REALLY PROPOSING

1:17:35HOLDING THE ROBOTAXIS TO A

1:17:36SIMILAR STANDARD. ONE KEY

1:17:39DIFFERENCE IS THAT SINCE AV

1:17:41DRIVERS AV COMPANIES TREAT

1:17:42THEIR SOFTWARE AS A SINGULAR

1:17:44DRIVER, WE WOULD BE CONSIDERING

1:17:45VIOLATIONS BY ANY CAR WITHIN A

1:17:47COMPANY'S FLEET AS ACCUMULATING

1:17:48TO THAT SAME AV DRIVER. SO IF

1:17:51TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES WITHIN

1:17:52ONE COMPANY'S FLEET EACH GET A

1:17:53TRAFFIC VIOLATION, OR ARE

1:17:55OTHERWISE FOUND TO BE OPERATING

1:17:56IN AN UNSAFE MANNER, THAT WOULD

1:17:58COUNT AS TWO VIOLATIONS FOR

1:17:59THAT COMPANY'S AV DRIVER, AND

1:18:01WOULD BE GROUNDS FOR SUSPENDING

1:18:02THE COMPANY'S PERMIT. THIS

1:18:04PERMIT WOULD BE SUSPENDED UNTIL

1:18:05THE COMPANY CAN CERTIFY TO THE

1:18:07CITY THAT THE ISSUE, OR ISSUES

1:18:09FOR WHICH THEIR AV DRIVER

1:18:10RECEIVED THE VIOLATIONS ARE

1:18:11RESOLVED, AND THIS PROCESS

1:18:13WOULD REPEAT FOR SUBSEQUENT

1:18:15VIOLATIONS. SO ADDITIONALLY, IF

1:18:16THE AV DRIVER CONTINUES TO

1:18:18REPEAT THAT SAME UNSAFE

1:18:20BEHAVIOR THAT THE COMPANY HAS

1:18:21ALREADY CERTIFIED THAT THEY'VE

1:18:23RESOLVED, THIS COULD BECOME

1:18:24GROUNDS FOR ADDITIONAL ACTION

1:18:25LIKE FINES OR PERMIT REVOCATION.

1:18:28WE BELIEVE THIS IS A MUCH

1:18:29HIGHER STANDARD FOR ANY

1:18:30POTENTIAL PERMIT SUSPENSION

1:18:31THAN ANYTHING ELSE WE'VE SEEN

1:18:33PROPOSED IN THE STATES, AND

1:18:34THAT IT COULD HELP ADDRESS SOME

1:18:35OF THE CHALLENGES WE'VE SEEN IN

1:18:37OTHER CITIES. THIS NEXT POLICY

1:18:41CONCEPT IS ALSO SAFETY FOCUSED.

1:18:43WE HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS

1:18:45ABOUT THE SAFETY HAZARD OF AVS

1:18:46AND VEHICLES IN GENERAL,

1:18:49STOPPING IN BICYCLE LANES TO

1:18:50WAIT TO PICK UP PASSENGERS OR

1:18:51TO DROP THEM OFF. SO THERE IS

1:18:53EXISTING CITY CODE THAT

1:18:55CURRENTLY STATES THAT ALL

1:18:56DRIVERS ARE LIMITED TO STOPPING

1:18:57IN ANY STREET, BICYCLE LANE OR

1:18:59TRANSIT LANE FOR NO MORE THAN

1:19:0130S TO LOAD OR UNLOAD

1:19:02PASSENGERS. SO OUR SUGGESTION

1:19:04HERE IS THAT WE WOULD REAFFIRM

1:19:06THE MAXIMUM STOP TIME OF 30S

1:19:08FOR ALL PRIVATE FOR HIRE

1:19:09DRIVERS IN CITY CODE. GIVEN

1:19:12THAT AVS SOMETIMES WAIT FOR TWO

1:19:14MINUTES, IF NOT MORE, FOR

1:19:16PASSENGERS TO ENTER THE AV AND

1:19:17START THEIR RIDE, THIS SHOULD

1:19:18PROHIBIT THEM FROM WAITING IN

1:19:20BICYCLE LANES TO PICK UP

1:19:21PASSENGERS. I DO WANT TO NOTE

1:19:23THAT THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION

1:19:24FOR THIS POLICY CONCEPT, AND

1:19:25THAT WOULD BE TO FULLY BAN

1:19:27PICKUP AND DROP OFFS IN BICYCLE

1:19:28LANES OR TRANSIT LANES. THIS

1:19:31POLICY MOVE WOULD PROBABLY MAKE

1:19:32MORE SENSE TO IMPLEMENT ACROSS

1:19:33THE ENTIRE PRIVATE FOR HIRE

1:19:35INDUSTRY, NOT JUST AVS. THIS

1:19:37COULD LEAD TO MORE STOPPING AND

1:19:39TRAVEL LANES AND POTENTIALLY

1:19:40HAVE UNINTENDED SAFETY OR

1:19:41MOBILITY CONSEQUENCES. BUT WE

1:19:43JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT

1:19:45THIS IS ANOTHER POLICY OPTION

1:19:46TO CONSIDER. SHOULD YOU ALL

1:19:47WANT TO GO FURTHER? THIS NEXT

1:19:51POLICY PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON

1:19:52LIMITATIONS ON THE SALE,

1:19:53SHARING OR TRANSFERRING OF DATA

1:19:55COLLECTED BY AVS. AND WE'VE

1:19:57PROPOSED ADDING THIS TO THE

1:19:58ADMINISTRATIVE RULES SO THAT WE

1:19:59CAN DYNAMICALLY RESPOND TO ANY

1:20:01CHANGES IN DATA COLLECTED OR

1:20:02NEW PRIVACY BEST PRACTICES THAT

1:20:03MAY EMERGE. WE KNOW THAT AVS

1:20:06COLLECT DATA BOTH INSIDE AND

1:20:08OUTSIDE OF THEIR VEHICLES. MOST

1:20:09AVS USE A COMBINATION OF LIDAR

1:20:11RADAR, 360 DEGREE VIDEO AND

1:20:13AUDIO DATA COLLECTED FROM THEIR

1:20:16VEHICLES. AND WHILE SOME OF

1:20:17THIS DATA IS USED FOR SAFE

1:20:19OPERATIONS OF AVS, WE DO KNOW

1:20:20IT WILL BE CRITICAL TO PUT

1:20:21STRONG SAFEGUARDS AROUND THE

1:20:22USE OF THIS DATA. SO WE HAVE

1:20:24CONSULTED WITH THE CITY DATA

1:20:25AND PRIVACY OFFICE TO ENSURE

1:20:27THAT THESE REGULATIONS WOULD BE

1:20:29CONSISTENT WITH RELATED CITY

1:20:30POLICY ON SURVEILLANCE AND

1:20:31PRIVACY, AND ARE CONSIDERED

1:20:32BEST PRACTICES. THE FIRST

1:20:35PROPOSAL IS TO PROHIBIT AV

1:20:37COMPANIES FROM SELLING ANY DATA

1:20:39COLLECTED BY THEIR AVS ON CITY

1:20:40OF PORTLAND STREETS. COMPANIES

1:20:42SHOULD NOT GET TO PROFIT OFF OF

1:20:43THE DATA THAT THEY COLLECT IN

1:20:45OUR CITY. THE SECOND PROPOSAL

1:20:47IS TO REQUIRE CITY

1:20:48ADMINISTRATOR APPROVAL BEFORE

1:20:49SHARING OR TRANSFERRING ANY

1:20:50DATA. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE MANY

1:20:53USE CASES FOR THIS, BUT WE

1:20:54COULD POTENTIALLY BE INTERESTED

1:20:55IN SHARING DATA WITH A THIRD

1:20:57PARTY TO HELP US ANALYZE TRIP

1:20:58LOCATION DATA AND OPERATIONS.

1:21:01FINALLY, WE WOULD REQUIRE A

1:21:02WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE

1:21:03BEFORE ANY DATA COLLECTED ON

1:21:05OUR STREETS IS SHARED WITH OR

1:21:06TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER

1:21:07GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY. TOGETHER,

1:21:10WE THINK THAT THESE POLICIES

1:21:11WILL ALLOW COMPANIES TO OPERATE

1:21:12WHILE ALSO ENACTING STRONG,

1:21:14STRONG REGULATIONS THAT PROTECT

1:21:16PORTLANDERS FROM UNNECESSARY

1:21:17SURVEILLANCE. NEXT, I'D LIKE TO

1:21:22INTRODUCE A NEW POLICY PROPOSAL,

1:21:24WHICH IS TO DEFINE REMOTE

1:21:25OPERATORS IN CITY CODE. REMOTE

1:21:27OPERATORS REFER TO HUMANS WHO

1:21:29INTERVENE IN AV OPERATIONS. IF

1:21:31THE AV ENCOUNTERS AN UNKNOWN

1:21:33SITUATION OR IS UNCERTAIN ON

1:21:34HOW TO PROCEED. IT HAS BEEN

1:21:36REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET A

1:21:37COMPLETE PICTURE OF HOW OFTEN

1:21:38REMOTE OPERATORS INTERVENE IN

1:21:41AV OPERATIONS, BUT A SENATE

1:21:42INVESTIGATION EARLIER THIS YEAR

1:21:43FOUND THAT REMOTE OPERATORS

1:21:45COULD BE LOCATED OVERSEAS, AND

1:21:47THAT MANY DO NOT HOLD U.S.

1:21:48DRIVER'S LICENSES. WITH THE

1:21:50CURRENT LACK OF FEDERAL

1:21:51GUIDANCE ON REMOTE OPERATIONS,

1:21:53WE FEEL IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT

1:21:54HERE TO SET MINIMUM

1:21:56REQUIREMENTS THAT ALL REMOTE

1:21:57OPERATORS MUST HOLD A US BASED

1:21:59DRIVER'S LICENSE AND BE BASED

1:22:00IN THE UNITED STATES.

1:22:02CALIFORNIA HAS ALSO RECENTLY

1:22:04TAKEN STEPS TO DEFINE REMOTE

1:22:05OPERATORS AND NEW REGULATIONS

1:22:07FROM THE CALIFORNIA DMV, WHICH

1:22:08WILL BECOME ACTIVE IN JULY 2028,

1:22:11STATE THE SAME REQUIREMENTS WE

1:22:12HAVE PROPOSED HERE THAT ALL

1:22:13REMOTE OPERATORS FOR FLEETS

1:22:15ACTIVE IN CALIFORNIA HAVE A US

1:22:16BASED DRIVER'S LICENSE AND BE

1:22:18BASED IN THE US. AND THEN THIS

1:22:21IS THE FINAL POLICY PROPOSAL.

1:22:24FIRST, AVS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO

1:22:25THE SAME FEES AS TNCS,

1:22:27INCLUDING ALL PERMIT AND PER

1:22:28TRIP FEES. IN ADDITION, IS THE

1:22:31ESTABLISHMENT OF A PER TRIP

1:22:32DRIVER SUPPORT FEE TO SUPPORT

1:22:33WORKERS. DUE TO THIS

1:22:35UNPRECEDENTED CHANGE, A DRIVER

1:22:37SUPPORT FEE COULD PROVIDE FUNDS

1:22:38FOR THINGS LIKE JOB TRAINING,

1:22:40JOB PLACEMENT OR OTHER SUPPORT.

1:22:42WE KNOW COUNCIL JUST PASSED THE

1:22:44DRIVER'S RESOURCE CENTER

1:22:44ORDINANCE, AND THERE MAY BE A

1:22:46WAY TO CONNECT THESE WORKFORCE

1:22:47TRANSITION ACTIVITIES TO THAT

1:22:48NEW CENTER. THE DRIVER SUPPORT

1:22:50FEE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE

1:22:51FEE SCHEDULE, WHICH IS THE SAME

1:22:53AS THE TNC PER TRIP FEE AND

1:22:54PERMIT FEES. THE FEE SCHEDULE

1:22:56IS UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS

1:22:57EACH FISCAL YEAR AND HAS CITY

1:22:59COUNCIL OVERSIGHT, AND WE

1:23:00PROPOSE TO FOLLOW THAT EXISTING

1:23:02ANNUAL PROCESS HERE WITH THIS

1:23:03NEW FEE. AND FINALLY, WE DO

1:23:06WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE

1:23:07MAY BE A NEED FOR OTHER IMPACT

1:23:09FEES DUE TO THE CONTINUED

1:23:10GROWTH AND IMPACTS OF THE

1:23:11ENTIRE PRIVATE FOR HIRE

1:23:12INDUSTRY ON OUR STREETS.

1:23:13HOWEVER, WE DO THINK THAT ANY

1:23:15ADDITIONAL IMPACT FEE SHOULD BE

1:23:16CONSIDERED AFTER WE'VE HAD A

1:23:17CHANCE TO EVALUATE THE ACTUAL

1:23:19IMPACT OF AVS ON OUR STREETS

1:23:21AND THAT THESE IMPACT FEES

1:23:22SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE

1:23:23PRIVATE HIRE PRIVATE FOR HIRE

1:23:24INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE, NOT JUST

1:23:26FOR AVS. THANK YOU. AND I'D NOW

1:23:28LIKE TO HAND IT BACK TO

1:23:29SHOSHANA FOR NEXT STEPS.

1:23:32>> THANK YOU HANNAH. I THINK

1:23:33NEXT SLIDE. SO JUST BRIEFLY TO

1:23:36RECAP AGAIN, WE KNOW THERE'S

1:23:38ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS THAT COULD

1:23:40BE CONSIDERED, BUT THE ENTIRE

1:23:41PACKAGE OF PROPOSED CODE AND

1:23:43ADMINISTRATIVE RULES THAT WE'VE

1:23:44JUST HEARD IS DESIGNED TO

1:23:46PROTECT THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND

1:23:47ALLOW THE CITY TO ACTIVELY

1:23:49MANAGE THIS CHANGE. WE'VE ALSO

1:23:51INTEGRATED EVALUATION AND

1:23:52REVIEW TO OUR PROPOSED

1:23:53REGULATIONS, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT

1:23:55POLICIES MAY NEED TO CHANGE AS

1:23:57THIS QUICKLY EVOLVING INDUSTRY

1:23:59CHANGES, AND WE SEE MORE ABOUT

1:24:00THE IMPACTS ON OUR STREETS. AND

1:24:02THEN FINALLY, OF COURSE, NONE

1:24:03OF US CAN KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN

1:24:05IN 2020 STATE LEGISLATIVE

1:24:06SESSION AROUND THIS TOPIC. WE

1:24:08HAVE SOME HOPE THAT A LOCAL

1:24:10REGULATORY PACKAGE MAY HELP TO

1:24:11REDUCE PRESSURE TO MOVE FORWARD

1:24:13WITH STATE PREEMPTORY

1:24:15PREEMPTORY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO

1:24:16SAY THAT WORD LEGISLATION. AND

1:24:18THEN BEFORE WE DIVE INTO

1:24:20DISCUSSION JUST BRIEFLY, AS AS

1:24:22WAS ALREADY SAID, THE CURRENT

1:24:24PLAN IS THAT WE WOULD RETURN TO

1:24:25THIS COMMITTEE IN TWO WEEKS

1:24:27WITH AN ORDINANCE WITH SPECIFIC

1:24:29CODE. AND IN THE ORDINANCE

1:24:33COULD ACTUALLY ALSO OFFER SORT

1:24:35OF DIRECTION ON THE

1:24:36ADMINISTRATIVE RULES. AND THEN

1:24:38AND I BELIEVE DEREK BRADLEY IS

1:24:39IN THE ROOM. WE'RE CONTINUING

1:24:41TO COORDINATE REALLY CLOSELY

1:24:42WITH THE OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT

1:24:43RELATIONS AND OTHER PARTNERS

1:24:46AROUND THE STATE AS WE GET

1:24:47READY FOR THE STATE SESSION.

1:24:48AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TODAY.

1:24:50AND WELCOME QUESTIONS.

1:24:51>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, SHOSHANA,

1:24:53HANNAH AND JACOB. THAT WAS AN

1:24:55EXCELLENT OVERVIEW. I'M VERY

1:24:58IMPRESSED BY THE RESEARCH THAT

1:24:59YOU'VE DONE ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

1:25:01ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT

1:25:02INTO THIS. I KNOW THAT WE'VE

1:25:04BEEN PUSHING YOU PRETTY HARD TO

1:25:05GET THIS DONE, BECAUSE I WAS

1:25:07REALLY HOPING THAT WE COULD DO

1:25:08THIS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR,

1:25:10OR AT LEAST BEFORE THE STATE

1:25:12LEGISLATURE MEETS. SO I

1:25:13APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT

1:25:14YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS. IT'S

1:25:15REALLY TERRIFIC. SO I KNOW WE

1:25:19HAVE ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR FOR

1:25:20DISCUSSION OF THIS, AND I KNOW

1:25:23THAT YOU'VE ALSO MET WITH SOME

1:25:25OF THE MY COLLEAGUES

1:25:27INDIVIDUALLY AND GOTTEN THEIR

1:25:29FEEDBACK, AND I'M SURE YOU'LL

1:25:30CONTINUE TO DO THAT BEFORE WE

1:25:32FINALLY DRAFT SOMETHING. BUT

1:25:34LET ME FIRST TURN IT OVER TO MY

1:25:36VICE CHAIR, COUNCILOR SMITH.

1:25:38>> THANK YOU, CHAIRWOMAN CLARK.

1:25:40THANK YOU ALL FOR THE

1:25:41PRESENTATION, AND I'LL GET

1:25:43RIGHT TO IT. WHAT PROTECTIONS

1:25:45OR TRANSITION OPPORTUNITIES

1:25:47COULD BE AVAILABLE FOR WORKERS

1:25:49DISPLACED BY THIS NEW

1:25:50TECHNOLOGY?

1:25:54>> YEAH, THANKS, COUNCILOR

1:25:57SMITH. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE

1:25:59PRIMARY THINGS THAT WE'RE

1:26:00THINKING ABOUT IN THIS PROPOSAL

1:26:01IS THAT DRIVER SUPPORT FEE AND

1:26:04USING THAT FEE IN ORDER TO

1:26:06INVEST IN RESOURCES THAT COULD

1:26:08SUPPORT DRIVER ACTIVITIES, THAT

1:26:10COULD BE RETRAINING, THAT COULD

1:26:13BE SCHOLARSHIPS, THAT COULD BE

1:26:15OTHER SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT. I

1:26:17MEAN, THERE'S A VARIETY OF, OF

1:26:18DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE

1:26:20COULD LOOK TO STAND UP. THIS IS,

1:26:23I THINK, SOMETHING WE'D BE

1:26:24LOOKING VERY CLOSELY TO YOU ALL

1:26:26TO GIVE US SOME GUIDANCE AND

1:26:28SOME DIRECTION ON JUST AS YOU

1:26:29GAVE US GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION

1:26:30ON THE DRIVER RESOURCE CENTER.

1:26:32THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS PUN

1:26:34INTENDED VERY MUCH OUTSIDE OF

1:26:35OUR LANE AS A TRANSPORTATION

1:26:38AGENCY, AND WE'D BE LOOKING TO

1:26:39YOU TO HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW

1:26:41TO BEST PROGRAM THOSE RESOURCES.

1:26:44IT IS ALSO THE KIND OF THING WE

1:26:46COULD GO OUT TO RFP WITH A

1:26:48VARIETY OF DIFFERENT POTENTIAL

1:26:50PROVIDERS IN ORDER TO DELIVER

1:26:52THOSE RESOURCES. WE'VE STARTED

1:26:54SOME KIND OF PRELIMINARY

1:26:56MODELING AND FORECASTING ON

1:26:57WHAT THOSE FEES COULD BE, AND

1:26:59HOW MUCH REVENUE THEY MIGHT BE

1:27:00ABLE TO GENERATE ON AN ANNUAL

1:27:02BASIS. WE HAVE SOME LOW

1:27:03CONFIDENCE ESTIMATES THAT WE

1:27:04COULD TALK ABOUT. IF YOU'VE GOT

1:27:05MORE QUESTIONS.

1:27:06>> INTO THE INTERIM. PBOT

1:27:08DIRECTOR, I APPRECIATE THAT,

1:27:10BUT HAVE YOU ALL EVALUATED THE

1:27:13POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT ON

1:27:16PORTLAND RESIDENTS WHO

1:27:17CURRENTLY WORK AS A RIDESHARE,

1:27:19TAXI OR PROFESSIONAL DRIVER?

1:27:21BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT

1:27:24WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LOT OF

1:27:26FOLKS OUT OF WORK IN THIS

1:27:28TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY.

1:27:30>> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

1:27:31AND I I'M NOT SURE IF YOU WERE

1:27:34DIRECTING THAT TO THE INTERIM

1:27:36DIRECTOR WHO IS IN THE ROOM.

1:27:38ALTHOUGH STILL GETTING UP TO

1:27:39SPEED ON THIS. SO IF IT'S OKAY,

1:27:40I'LL I'LL ANSWER YES. I, WELL,

1:27:44I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE OF THE

1:27:46OTHER THINGS IS REALLY THE

1:27:48LIMIT ON, YOU KNOW, WE'RE

1:27:50PROPOSING A VERY SMALL FLEET

1:27:51SIZE AND THAT COULD STAY VERY

1:27:52SMALL. AND, YOU KNOW,

1:27:55FUNDAMENTALLY, YES, THIS CARS

1:27:57WITHOUT DRIVERS WILL REPLACE

1:27:58CARS WITH DRIVERS THAT WILL

1:28:00HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT. I

1:28:03THINK THE THE REASON TO BRING

1:28:06THIS IS NOT TO REPLACE DRIVERS.

1:28:08OBVIOUSLY, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS

1:28:11IT MAY BE COMING. AND SO HOW

1:28:13CAN WE SET UP AS THOUGHTFULLY

1:28:15AS POSSIBLE. BUT THERE'S NO WAY

1:28:16AROUND A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC

1:28:17IMPACT TO DRIVERS WHO ARE

1:28:19REPLACED. AND AS A AS AS JACOB

1:28:22SAID, TO SOME DEGREE, SOME OF

1:28:23THAT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR POLICY

1:28:25LANE. SO WE'RE TRYING TO

1:28:26PROPOSE THOUGHTFUL REGULATIONS

1:28:28WITHIN THAT CONTEXT. BUT YES,

1:28:31THE.

1:28:31>> CITY OF PORTLAND DOES HAVE A

1:28:32POLICY LANE TO MAKE SURE THAT

1:28:35CERTAIN INDUSTRIES AND

1:28:37INDUSTRIES IN THE CITY ARE NOT

1:28:39IMPACTED BY THE POLICIES THAT

1:28:41WE CREATE. AND FOR, YOU KNOW,

1:28:43I'LL TELL YOU A COUPLE OF

1:28:44THINGS. AND THIS IS JUST MY

1:28:45BIAS. I'M I AM CONCERNED ABOUT

1:28:47THE SAFETY ISSUES. I'M

1:28:49CONCERNED THAT THE ELDERLY WHO

1:28:52WHO NEED TRANSPORTATION, THAT

1:28:53THEY WILL NOT GET THAT EXTRA

1:28:55PUSH IN AN ICE STORM OF DON'T

1:28:57WALK ON THIS SIDEWALK, OR I CAN

1:28:59TRY TO GET YOU CLOSER AND YOU

1:29:01CAN ACTUALLY IDENTIFY POTENTIAL

1:29:03PROBLEMS FOR, FOR RIDERS WHO,

1:29:06WHO MAY USE THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY,

1:29:09BUT I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT

1:29:11THAT. I'M CONCERNED THAT, YOU

1:29:13KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE

1:29:16SOME SORT OF TAX TO DO A

1:29:18DRIVER'S EDUCATION PIECE, BUT

1:29:20THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE

1:29:22PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LOSING

1:29:23THEIR JOBS. AND I THINK IT'S

1:29:26GOING TO THIS WILL HAVE SOME

1:29:28SORT OF IMPACT. AND ELON MUSK

1:29:30PUT OUT A THERE WERE THERE'S A

1:29:34WHOLE FLEET OF NEW AUTONOMOUS

1:29:36DRIVERS. AND HE'S YOU KNOW,

1:29:38THESE FOLKS CAN WORK BECAUSE

1:29:39YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE LIMITS.

1:29:43THESE THESE THIS TECHNOLOGY

1:29:45ALLOWS THE CARS TO BE USED 24

1:29:47HOURS A DAY. SO IF YOU'RE A

1:29:50HUMAN, YOU CANNOT COMPETE WITH

1:29:52THAT KIND OF, OF WORK PRODUCT.

1:29:56SO I, I WOULD LIKE US TO AT

1:29:58LEAST BE A LITTLE, I MEAN, I'M,

1:30:01I WAS LISTENING TO YOUR

1:30:02PRESENTATIONS, BUT IT DIDN'T

1:30:03SEEM LIKE YOU ALL REALLY CARED

1:30:05ABOUT THAT TO ME.

1:30:10>> YEAH. I GUESS THANK YOU FOR

1:30:12THAT FEEDBACK. YEAH, WE, WE ARE

1:30:14VERY MUCH AWARE OF AND DON'T

1:30:16DISAGREE WITH ANY OF THOSE

1:30:17THINGS.

1:30:18>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR SMITH.

1:30:19I THINK WE ALL HAVE THOSE

1:30:20CONCERNS. I THINK, THOUGH, IF

1:30:22WE DON'T DO SOMETHING AND WE'RE

1:30:23PREEMPTED BY THE STATE, THEN

1:30:24THOSE DRIVERS ARE SOL ANYWAY.

1:30:26YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE'RE

1:30:28TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON IT SO

1:30:29THAT WE MIGHT PROVIDE SOME

1:30:31PROTECTION AND SOME RESOURCES

1:30:32FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT MAY BE

1:30:34DISPLACED. SO THAT'S PART OF

1:30:35THE GOAL HERE. COUNCILOR. ARE

1:30:38YOU DONE? COUNCILOR KOYAMA LANE.

1:30:41>> THANK YOU, CHAIR THANK YOU,

1:30:43VICE CHAIR, FOR THAT. I DO WANT

1:30:45TO SAY I SEE THAT ALL OF YOU

1:30:47ARE DOING YOUR JOBS, AND YOU'RE

1:30:50APPROACHING THIS THOUGHTFULLY,

1:30:51AND YOU'RE TRYING REALLY HARD

1:30:52TO DO THAT. AND I UNDERSTAND

1:30:54THAT WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT

1:30:55BEING PREEMPTED AT THE STATE.

1:30:58WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO LIKE

1:30:59RESTART POLICY TIMELINE IF NEW

1:31:01COUNCILORS ARE TAKING POSITIONS

1:31:03IN JANUARY. AND I ALSO AM MORE

1:31:07ALIGNED WITH VICE CHAIR SMITH

1:31:11IN CONCERNS AROUND SAFETY

1:31:13SURVEILLANCE. I'M ALSO OPENING

1:31:15OUR ROADS TO BILLIONAIRES. I'M

1:31:17WORRIED ABOUT. RATHER THAN

1:31:20LETTING SOME LITTLE BIT IN AND

1:31:23SEEING WHAT HAPPENS, I'M

1:31:24WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

1:31:25AND, AND I, I AM MORE WANTING

1:31:28TO START WITH NO AND THEN SEE

1:31:30WHAT HAPPENS AND THEN GO FROM

1:31:33THERE. I DO HAVE A COUPLE

1:31:36QUESTIONS. LIKE ONE IS THIS IS

1:31:40CONNECTED TO POLICY CONCEPT

1:31:41FOUR I'M WONDERING IF YOU ALL

1:31:43CAN SPEAK TO HOW THE CITY WOULD

1:31:46PLAN TO ADDRESS IN REAL TIME

1:31:48ISSUES LIKE AVS BLOCKING AN

1:31:50EMERGENCY VEHICLE FROM

1:31:51ACCESSING SOMEONE IN DISTRESS.

1:31:56>> THANKS, COUNCILOR KOYAMA

1:31:57LANE, AND APPRECIATE YOUR

1:31:59OPENING COMMENT ABOUT US BEING

1:32:00THOUGHTFUL AND WORKING HARD TO

1:32:02DO OUR JOBS. YOU KNOW, I THINK

1:32:04THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE WE HAVE

1:32:07KIND OF WITHIN THE AGENCY, A

1:32:08BUNCH OF REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT

1:32:10STAFF THAT ARE ON A REGULAR

1:32:12BASIS, TAKING TAXI RIDES,

1:32:15TAKING UBER AND LYFT RIDES,

1:32:16GOING OUT TO THE AIRPORT,

1:32:18MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE

1:32:20PERMITTED, MAKING SURE THAT THE

1:32:21VEHICLES DON'T HAVE SUBSTANTIAL

1:32:23WEAR AND TEAR OR DAMAGE TO THEM.

1:32:25AND SO WE WOULD PROBABLY BE

1:32:27USING SOME OF THOSE REGULATORY

1:32:28ENFORCEMENT SPECIALISTS TO BE

1:32:30OUT MONITORING THESE KINDS OF

1:32:32THINGS. WE NEED TO HAVE FURTHER

1:32:36DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY

1:32:37ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ABOUT HOW WE

1:32:38CAN BUILD CASES TO TAKE

1:32:42POTENTIAL REGULATORY ACTION.

1:32:43ONE THING THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM

1:32:45OUR COLLEAGUES IN CALIFORNIA,

1:32:47AS WELL AS TEXAS, IS THAT

1:32:49SOCIAL MEDIA IS OFTEN THE PLACE

1:32:50YOU HEAR ABOUT SOME OF THESE

1:32:52INCIDENTS FIRST. AND SO I THINK

1:32:54ONE THING WE'RE VERY INTERESTED

1:32:55IN IS HOW MIGHT WE USE SOME OF

1:32:57THAT INFORMATION AS PART OF

1:33:00DEVELOPING A POTENTIAL

1:33:01VIOLATION OR A CODE OR A

1:33:03PACKAGE THAT WE COULD THEN TAKE

1:33:05ACTION ON? AND SO WE HAVE SOME

1:33:07MORE WORK TO DO THERE. BUT

1:33:08THAT'S KIND OF PRELIMINARY HOW

1:33:09WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS. YOU

1:33:11KNOW, WHEN THE CITY OF PORTLAND

1:33:13FIRST HAD E-SCOOTERS ARRIVE IN

1:33:15OUR CITY, IT WASN'T BECAUSE WE

1:33:17WANTED THEM OR INVITED THEM. IT

1:33:19WAS BECAUSE WE ALSO FOUND OUT

1:33:20THAT COMPANIES WERE COMING AND

1:33:21GETTING READY TO DEPLOY THEM.

1:33:23AND WE KIND OF DEVELOPED A VERY

1:33:25SIMILAR APPROACH, TOOK A POLICY,

1:33:27CREATED A POLICY FRAMEWORK,

1:33:29TOLD THE COMPANIES THEY HAD TO

1:33:30WAIT, TOLD THE COMPANIES THAT

1:33:31THEY HAD TO COME AND PLAY BY

1:33:33THE RULE. AND THEN WE HAD STAFF

1:33:34WORKING ON THIS ON A DAILY

1:33:36BASIS AND PICKING UP THE PHONE

1:33:37AND SOLVING SOME OF THOSE

1:33:39PROBLEMS. WE'D BE TAKING A VERY

1:33:40SIMILAR APPROACH HERE. IT WOULD

1:33:41BE VERY HANDS ON FOR PROBABLY

1:33:43THE FIRST YEAR OR MORE. THE

1:33:45FIRST FEW YEARS.

1:33:48>> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION

1:33:49ABOUT FEES PER TRIP FEES, OR IF

1:33:52WE'RE GOING TO DO PER MILE FEES.

1:33:54AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S

1:33:55BEEN ANY CONSIDERATION ABOUT

1:33:57HAVING HIGHER FEES FOR CERTAIN

1:33:59VEHICLES THAT ARE MAYBE TALLER

1:34:01OR HEAVIER, LOWER PRICE FOR

1:34:03ONES THAT ARE SHORTER, LIGHTER

1:34:05VEHICLES. AND WE KNOW THAT

1:34:06SMALLER, LIGHTER VEHICLES ARE

1:34:09SAFER. AND JUST WONDERING IF

1:34:11THERE'S BEEN ANY CONVERSATION

1:34:12AROUND THAT, THAT YOU ALL WANT

1:34:13TO SHARE.

1:34:14>> YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ALL GOOD

1:34:17QUESTIONS. AND I THINK SOME

1:34:18INITIAL THOUGHTS, THOSE ARE

1:34:19THINGS THAT COULD ABSOLUTELY BE

1:34:22CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, AGAIN,

1:34:23MIGHT MAKE SENSE ACROSS THE

1:34:24PRIVATE FOR HIRE INDUSTRY, BUT

1:34:26ABSOLUTELY COULD BE CONSIDERED.

1:34:28>> AND HAS THERE BEEN ANY

1:34:30COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT RELATED TO

1:34:31THE RECOMMENDATIONS? AND WHAT

1:34:33WHAT HAS THAT BEEN LIKE? AND

1:34:35CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT?

1:34:36YEAH.

1:34:37>> WELL, YEAH, I THINK IT'S

1:34:39FAIR TO SAY WE'VE BEEN DOING

1:34:41ENGAGEMENT THIS WHOLE YEAR,

1:34:43MAYBE AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. AND,

1:34:44YOU KNOW, WE DID SORT OF THE

1:34:46WENT THROUGH THE OFFICIAL

1:34:48ADMINISTRATIVE RULE ENGAGEMENT

1:34:49PROCESS, HAD A PUBLIC HEARING,

1:34:51PUT THE RULES OUT FAR AND WIDE,

1:34:54MET WITH INDIVIDUAL GROUPS.

1:34:56WE'VE CONTINUED TO DO SORT OF

1:34:59ONGOING STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT.

1:35:01WE'VE MET, YOU KNOW, JUST IN

1:35:02THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE

1:35:03MET WITH SOME OF THE REGULAR

1:35:06TRANSPORTATION ADVOCACY GROUPS

1:35:07AND OTHER OTHER GROUPS LIKE

1:35:08DISABILITY RIGHTS OREGON, AND

1:35:10FOLKS SORT OF CONTINUING TO TRY

1:35:12TO TAKE PEOPLE'S TEMPERATURE

1:35:14AND CONTINUE TO HEAR LOTS AND

1:35:17LOTS OF RESERVATIONS, AND ALSO

1:35:20CONCERN ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN

1:35:21IF IT WERE TO BE DONE IN THE

1:35:23STATE LEVEL. SO I THINK WE'RE

1:35:25WE CONTINUE TO HEAR SIMILAR

1:35:26THINGS, I THINK. BUT YEAH, I

1:35:28DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU ALL

1:35:29WANT TO SAY.

1:35:30>> AND MAYBE JUST TO UNDERLINE

1:35:31A SPECIFIC PIECE OF ENGAGEMENT,

1:35:32YOU KNOW, WE ALSO WORKING ON

1:35:34BROADER PRIVATE FOR HIRE ISSUES,

1:35:36INCLUDING UBER AND LYFT ISSUES.

1:35:37WE MEET REGULARLY WITH THE

1:35:39OREGON DRIVERS UNION AND THEIR

1:35:41REPRESENTATIVES. WE'VE GOT A

1:35:42STANDING MONTHLY MEETING. AND

1:35:44THIS IS A TOPIC THAT WE DISCUSS

1:35:46OFTEN AND HAVE, I THINK IN THE

1:35:48LAST TWO MONTHS, HAVE PROBABLY

1:35:49DISCUSSED IT 2 OR 3 TIMES,

1:35:52INCLUDING AN HOUR AND A HALF

1:35:53SESSION A WEEK AND A HALF AGO.

1:35:56SO I THINK IN MANY WAYS, WE

1:35:59KNOW SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS. I

1:36:02THINK SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS

1:36:03ARE DEFINITELY SHARED. AND AS

1:36:05CHAIR CLARK SAID, I THINK WE'RE

1:36:08TRYING TO PUT FORWARD WHAT WE

1:36:10CONSIDER TO BE KIND OF A

1:36:12NATIONALLY LEADING FRAMEWORK

1:36:14THAT IS GOING TO HOPEFULLY

1:36:16SOLVE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE

1:36:18PROBLEMS. IT MIGHT NOT BE

1:36:20PERFECT, BUT IT MIGHT BE REALLY

1:36:21GOOD.

1:36:22>> AND MAYBE JUST THE LAST

1:36:23THING ON THAT POINT, JUST AGAIN,

1:36:25WE'VE MET WITH SOME PEOPLE IN

1:36:27THE LAST WEEK OR SO AND HAVE

1:36:28HAVE HEARD SOME ADDITIONAL

1:36:30SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH

1:36:31HAVEN'T YET BE BEEN

1:36:33INCORPORATED, BUT ABSOLUTELY

1:36:34COULD BE. SO WE'RE STILL THIS

1:36:36IS SORT OF, I THINK IF THIS

1:36:38KEEPS MOVING, WHICH MAYBE IT

1:36:39WILL NOT. BUT IF IT DOES FEEL

1:36:41LIKE IT'S SORT OF A CONTINUOUS

1:36:43CONVERSATION AND KNOW THERE'S

1:36:44SOME OTHER SPECIFIC PROPOSALS

1:36:46OUT THERE AS WELL.

1:36:47>> I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE

1:36:48COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

1:36:49ENGAGEMENT AND THAT YOU ALL ARE

1:36:50OPEN AND ARE CONTINUING TO DO

1:36:52THAT. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

1:36:55AND FOR ME PERSONALLY, IT'S

1:36:58UNCLEAR IF THERE'S IF THIS

1:37:00MOVING FORWARD, IF AVS WOULD

1:37:03BENEFIT VISION ZERO, PORTLAND

1:37:05VALUES, AGE FRIENDLY VALUES.

1:37:06I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT YOU

1:37:07ALL ARE ARE SAYING HERE, BUT

1:37:10WHAT I'M WHERE I'M AT IS THAT

1:37:12EVEN IF WE HAVE STRONG POLICIES

1:37:13IN PLACE, I'M WORRIED ABOUT

1:37:15INTRODUCING UNTESTED TECHNOLOGY

1:37:17ONTO OUR ROADS THAT ARE GOING

1:37:19TO MIX WITH PEDESTRIANS,

1:37:20CYCLISTS AND DRIVERS. I KEEP

1:37:22HEARING FROM CONSTITUENTS THAT

1:37:23THEY ARE WORRIED WHEN THEY SEE

1:37:25THE DIFFERENT WAYMO'S AROUND. I

1:37:27FEEL THE SAME WAY. THEY JUST

1:37:28FEEL CREEPY WHEN I SEE THEM.

1:37:31AND I WOULD LIKE US TO HAVE A

1:37:33FRANK CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT

1:37:34IT LOOKS LIKE TO REALLY JUST

1:37:36SAY NO TO AVS IN PORTLAND. I'LL

1:37:38LEAVE IT THERE FOR NOW.

1:37:40>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR KOYAMA

1:37:41LANE. I SEEM TO RECALL THAT ONE

1:37:44OF THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

1:37:46YOU HEARD IN YOUR OUTREACH THAT

1:37:48WAS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST WAS

1:37:49SAFETY. I THOUGHT THAT WAS SORT

1:37:51OF THE UNIVERSAL CONCERN WAS

1:37:52SAFETY. THANKS FOR THOSE

1:37:54QUESTIONS. EXCELLENT. COUNCILOR.

1:37:55KANAL.

1:37:57>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CLARK

1:37:58THANKS, EVERYBODY FOR BEING

1:37:59HERE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR

1:38:00WORK. I'M OBVIOUSLY A CRITIC OF

1:38:02THIS INDUSTRY AND THIS PROPOSAL.

1:38:04I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT I THINK

1:38:06THAT THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE

1:38:08IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO,

1:38:09AND THAT YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB

1:38:11OF IT. AND NOTHING I SAY GOING

1:38:13FORWARD IS, IS A CRITICISM OF

1:38:14EITHER YOU OR YOUR WORK. AND

1:38:16ALL MY QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

1:38:17ARE FOR THE THREE PEOPLE UP

1:38:18HERE. JUST TO BE CLEAR, ONE

1:38:20QUICK QUESTION BEFORE I START

1:38:21THE GUIDANCE TO STAFF THAT THIS

1:38:23ENTIRE PROJECT SORT OF STARTED

1:38:24FROM IN TERMS OF LIKE

1:38:25AUTHORIZATION TO PURSUE THIS IS

1:38:26THE RESOLUTION IN 2017, RIGHT?

1:38:29THIS ALL KIND OF STEMS FROM

1:38:30THAT 2017 RESOLUTION.

1:38:33>> WE HAD A STANDING

1:38:35ADMINISTRATIVE RULE. SO I THINK

1:38:36WE, WHEN WE HEARD THAT AVS WERE

1:38:39BECOMING ACTIVE AGAIN IN OREGON,

1:38:41WE KNEW THAT THAT RULE NEEDED

1:38:43TO BE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. IT

1:38:46WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD OR

1:38:47SOMETHING LIKE THAT AT THAT

1:38:49POINT. AND, AND SINCE IT WAS ON

1:38:51THE BOOKS AS A TESTING PERMIT,

1:38:53WE NEEDED TO SORT OF START

1:38:55THERE AND LOOK AT WHAT WE

1:38:57NEEDED TO DO.

1:39:00>> YEAH. AND I THINK THAT'S

1:39:01CORRECT. AS SHOSHANA WAS SAYING,

1:39:03YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN EXISTING

1:39:05ADMINISTRATIVE RULE ON THE

1:39:06BOOKS. THAT ADMINISTRATIVE RULE

1:39:07ON THE BOOKS IS UNDERGIRDED BY

1:39:09THAT RESOLUTION. THE SMART

1:39:11AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE INITIATIVE

1:39:12RESOLUTION FROM 2017. AND I

1:39:15THINK THE THE SAVVY RESOLUTION

1:39:19IS UNDERGIRDED BY OUR BROADER

1:39:21KIND OF CHARTER AND THE

1:39:23AUTHORITIES THAT ARE GRANTED TO

1:39:24US AS A AS THE STEWARD OF THE

1:39:26RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH WE USE TO

1:39:28THEN REGULATE IN THIS INSTANCE,

1:39:29NOT JUST PROPOSE AUTOMATED

1:39:31VEHICLES, BUT ALSO SHUTTLES AND

1:39:33TAXIS AND LIMOUSINES.

1:39:35>> YEAH. I WAS MOSTLY REFERRING

1:39:36NOT TO THE AUTHORIZATION TO

1:39:37COME UP WITH IDEAS, BUT THE

1:39:39SORT OF DIRECTIONAL ELEMENT OF

1:39:40IT THERE, BECAUSE I PERSONALLY,

1:39:43RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH THE

1:39:44CHAIR IN SAYING IT'S IMPORTANT

1:39:46THAT WE SEND A SIGNAL TO THE

1:39:48STATE LEGISLATURE THAT WE'RE

1:39:49INVESTED IN ENSURING THE SAFE

1:39:50OPERATION OF THESE VEHICLES IN

1:39:51THE CITY. I'M INTERESTED IN

1:39:54ENSURING THE SAFE OPERATIONS OF

1:39:56VEHICLES, BUT NOT THESE

1:39:57VEHICLES. I AGREE WITH THE IDEA

1:40:00THAT IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING,

1:40:01THERE'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE

1:40:03STATE WILL DO THEIR THING.

1:40:04THAT'S TRUE. I THINK WE SHOULD

1:40:05JUST BAN IT. THAT'S DOING

1:40:07SOMETHING. AND I WILL

1:40:08PERSONALLY COMMIT TO SPENDING

1:40:09TIME IN SALEM TO TO HELP WITH

1:40:10THAT. TO THE DEGREE THAT IT IS,

1:40:12IT IS HELPFUL. YOU KNOW, WE'VE

1:40:14HEARD SEVERAL TIMES THINGS LIKE

1:40:15WE'VE HEARD OR CITATIONS ON

1:40:17SAFETY FROM INDUSTRY FUNDED

1:40:19STUDIES I'VE STILL NOT SEEN AND

1:40:21I'VE ASKED AND IF ANYONE

1:40:22WATCHING THIS WOULD LOVE TO

1:40:23EMAIL IT TO ME, I WOULD LOVE A,

1:40:25A, A STUDY THAT IS PROVEN TO

1:40:27NOT BE INDUSTRY FUNDED THAT

1:40:28ACTUALLY SHOWS ANYTHING ABOUT

1:40:31SAFETY IN THE IN THE LONG TERM,

1:40:32AND NOT JUST THE PART WHERE

1:40:34THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE,

1:40:35BUT THE OVERALL, SINCE THESE

1:40:36VEHICLES ARE JUST CIRCLING THE

1:40:38CITIES THAT THEY'RE IN, EVEN

1:40:40WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE PASSENGERS.

1:40:43I FLOATED AN AMENDMENT TO

1:40:44REPLACE ALL PROPOSED TEXT WITH,

1:40:46QUOTE, ALL VEHICLES REQUIRE

1:40:47HUMAN DRIVER, END QUOTE. IT'S

1:40:49SIX WORDS LONG. EVERYONE CAN

1:40:50UNDERSTAND IT. TODAY I REALIZE

1:40:52WE MAY ALSO NEED TO ADD ONE

1:40:53OTHER THING TO THAT AMENDMENT,

1:40:55WHICH IS A REPEAL OF RESOLUTION

1:40:5837296, TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION

1:40:59THAT WE'RE GIVING TO STAFF ON

1:41:01THIS, AND SHOULD PROBABLY ALSO

1:41:03OVERRIDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE

1:41:04RULE THAT SHOSHANA JUST

1:41:06REFERENCED. I WANT TO

1:41:08ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DRIVERS

1:41:08UNION HAS BEEN REACHING OUT.

1:41:10AND I, YOU KNOW, WE THEY'VE

1:41:12ASKED FOR HUMAN SAFETY

1:41:13OPERATORS. THIS PROVIDES NEEDED

1:41:15ACCESS AND ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE

1:41:16WITH DISABILITIES. THAT IS AN

1:41:18IMPORTANT PART OF THIS

1:41:20CONVERSATION, REGARDLESS OF

1:41:21WHETHER THESE ARE AUTONOMOUS

1:41:22VEHICLES OR NOT. THAT IS ONE OF

1:41:23THE FUNCTIONS OF THE HUMAN

1:41:25OPERATOR OF A VEHICLE. THERE

1:41:27ARE COUNTLESS SAFETY SCENARIOS

1:41:28THAT A COMPUTER CANNOT NAVIGATE,

1:41:30AND A HUMAN SAFETY OPERATOR

1:41:31ENSURES ACCOUNTABILITY AND

1:41:33SAFETY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT

1:41:35MINNEAPOLIS PUT IN AS WELL. I

1:41:37WILL NOTE THAT BECAUSE THE

1:41:38MAYOR VETOED IT, THEIR MAYOR

1:41:39CAN'T VETO HERE, SO THERE'S

1:41:40SLIGHT DIFFERENCES THERE. BUT I

1:41:42DO THINK THAT IT IS SLIGHTLY

1:41:44LESS PREFERABLE THAN A BAN. BUT

1:41:45I WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE THE

1:41:47TABLE. LOOKING AT THE POLICY

1:41:49CONCEPTS, I REALLY APPRECIATE

1:41:50THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE ON

1:41:51THE DEFINITION ONE, AS WELL AS

1:41:53ON THE CONCEPT OF US DRIVER'S

1:41:55LICENSES. I THINK THE NUMBERS

1:41:57OF SEVEN AND EIGHT GOT SWAPPED,

1:41:58SO I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE

1:42:00IT IS, BUT THE DRIVER'S LICENSE

1:42:01IS ONE. I HAVE NO CONCERN ABOUT

1:42:03THE IDEA OF SETTING FLEET CAPS

1:42:06AND AUTHORITY TO DO SO, BUT

1:42:08THEY'RE WAY TOO LAX WITH 100

1:42:09VEHICLES PER COMPANY, AND THEN

1:42:10ALLOWING THE MAYOR TO

1:42:12EFFECTIVELY WAIVE THEM AFTER

1:42:13TWO YEARS BY SETTING A LARGE

1:42:15FLEET CAP. I'M ALSO CONCERNED

1:42:16THAT THE CONCEPT OF IMPACT FEES

1:42:18CREATES A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE

1:42:20TO GIVE AWAY PORTLANDERS

1:42:21PRIVACY, AND SEEMS LIKE A CLEAR

1:42:23ATTEMPT TO GET THE SUPPORT OF

1:42:24THE DRIVERS UNION. BUT I WANT

1:42:26TO KNOW WE CAN FUND THE

1:42:27DRIVER'S RESOURCE CENTER

1:42:29WITHOUT THIS PARTICULAR SOURCE

1:42:30OF REVENUE. WE HAVE TO. I WISH

1:42:34WE'D DONE A TESTING PERMIT. THE

1:42:36CONCEPT THREE IS GREAT. I JUST

1:42:37WISH WE'D DONE IT IN 2017. I DO

1:42:40WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON

1:42:41FIVE AND SIX, THE LOADING AND

1:42:43UNLOADING AND BICYCLE LANES

1:42:45PIECE TO ME IS A REALLY BIG

1:42:47CONCERN. I APPRECIATE THE NOTE

1:42:48HANNAH YOU RAISED ON THE OTHER

1:42:50OPTION, BUT I THINK THAT THE

1:42:51OTHER OPTION KIND OF PROVES WHY

1:42:52THIS IS A BAD IDEA. BECAUSE

1:42:54ALTHOUGH DISALLOWING, STOPPING

1:42:55AND BICYCLE LANES MIGHT HAVE

1:42:58NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON SAFETY AND

1:42:59MOBILITY, THAT'S ALSO KIND OF

1:43:01UPSIDE DOWN BECAUSE MOBILITY

1:43:02INCLUDES BICYCLES THAT ARE

1:43:05PREVENTED FROM NAVIGATING

1:43:07EFFECTIVELY. IF THERE'S AN

1:43:09AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE OR ANY

1:43:10VEHICLE IN A BIKE LANE. SAME

1:43:12THING FOR SAFETY, BUT I REALLY

1:43:15WANT TO SPEND TIME ON CONCEPT

1:43:16SIX, WHICH IS THE THING THAT

1:43:18PROVES WHY THIS CAN'T WORK. A

1:43:20REGULATORY STRUCTURE CANNOT

1:43:21WORK. THERE IS NO WAY TO HONOR

1:43:23THE, QUOTE, REASONABLE

1:43:24EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY THAT

1:43:26PORTLANDERS HAVE, END QUOTE,

1:43:27WITH 250 AT FIRST, AND

1:43:29EVENTUALLY AN UNLIMITED NUMBER

1:43:31OF ROLLING SURVEILLANCE

1:43:32VEHICLES ON THE GROUND. PAIR

1:43:34THIS WITH THE FORTHCOMING

1:43:35ADMINISTRATIVE PUSH TO ALLOW

1:43:36CAMERAS IN EVERY INCH OF OUR

1:43:37SKY WITH AMAZON'S DRONE

1:43:39FACILITY, AND WE'RE BUILDING A

1:43:40SURVEILLANCE STATE HERE EVEN

1:43:41FASTER THAN WASHINGTON DC IS.

1:43:44THE POLICY CONCEPT IS

1:43:46UNENFORCEABLE. THE ONLY WAY TO

1:43:47GUARANTEE NON-TRANSFER OF DATA

1:43:49IS TO NOT CREATE IT IN THE

1:43:50FIRST PLACE, AND WILL

1:43:51INEVITABLY RESULT IN BOTH

1:43:52PRIVATE COMPANIES USING IT AND

1:43:54TRANSFERS TO ICE AND OTHER

1:43:55MALIGN ACTORS. SPECIFICALLY,

1:43:57THE PROPOSAL IS TO PUT IT INTO

1:43:59ADMINISTRATIVE RULES, WHICH

1:44:00GIVES NO ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE

1:44:01PUBLIC FOR ANY CHANGES. THE

1:44:02IDEA THAT ADMINISTRATIVE RULES

1:44:04WILL BE CHANGED TO ALLOW

1:44:05UNFETTERED SURVEILLANCE IS

1:44:06ALREADY BEING ACKNOWLEDGED

1:44:08ALREADY. YOU KNOW, IT WAS

1:44:11ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, QUOTE, CITY

1:44:12CODE, AS YOU MIGHT KNOW, IS

1:44:13GENERALLY RESERVED FOR POLICIES

1:44:14THAT ARE BIGGER PICTURE AND

1:44:15MORE FOUNDATIONAL AND DURABLE,

1:44:17RATHER THAN KIND OF FINE

1:44:18GRAINED IMPLEMENTATION, THINGS

1:44:19THAT MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE IN

1:44:20THE FUTURE, SUCH AS

1:44:22ADMINISTRATIVE RULES. SO I JUST

1:44:24WANT TO PUT THIS OUT THERE THAT

1:44:26THE MAYOR WILL BE ABLE TO WAIVE

1:44:28THAT AT ANY POINT IN THE FUTURE

1:44:30AND ALLOW US TO HAVE UNFETTERED

1:44:33TRANSFER OF DATA. AND THE

1:44:36DRIVER'S UNION RAISED THIS

1:44:37ISSUE IN THEIR LETTER AS WELL.

1:44:38AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

1:44:41COUNCILOR SMITH, I AGREE

1:44:42COMPLETELY. THERE IS NOTHING IN

1:44:43HERE ON PROTECTING WORKERS. THE

1:44:45DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FEES THAT

1:44:46CAME FROM THAT MADE IT CLEAR

1:44:48THAT THAT THE IDEA FROM THE

1:44:49COMPANIES, NOT FROM STAFF, BUT

1:44:51FROM THE COMPANIES, IS TO

1:44:52PROMOTE LARGE SCALE WORKER

1:44:53DISPLACEMENT OF AN ENTIRE

1:44:54INDUSTRY. AND I'M PERSONALLY

1:44:56NOT INTERESTED IN ASSISTING IN

1:44:57THE UNEMPLOYMENT OF ANY

1:44:58WORKFORCE. AND I SHOULD NOTE,

1:45:00IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT

1:45:01WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING A

1:45:02WORKFORCE THAT NATIONWIDE IS

1:45:04DISPROPORTIONATELY BLACK AND

1:45:04BROWN MEN. SO WITH ALL THAT

1:45:08SAID, I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR

1:45:10ABOUT MY ASK. HERE. I AM

1:45:11BEGGING MY COLLEAGUES NOT TO TO

1:45:14ACTIVELY SUPPORT THE CREATION

1:45:15OF A DYSTOPIA IN OUR IN OUR

1:45:18CITY. BETWEEN THE DRONE

1:45:21CONVERSATION AND THIS, THOSE

1:45:23ARE BOTH REALLY IMPORTANT PARTS

1:45:25OF THAT. AND SO I ASK FOR

1:45:27SUPPORT IN CHANGING THE

1:45:29DIRECTION HERE TO PURSUING A

1:45:31BAN ON THESE VEHICLES OUTRIGHT.

1:45:33>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR, AND

1:45:34YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO

1:45:35OFFER AMENDMENTS ON THE

1:45:37POLICIES AS WELL. COUNCILOR

1:45:39GREEN.

1:45:40>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CLARK, I'M

1:45:43JUST GOING TO ECHO THE THREE OF

1:45:46MY COLLEAGUES WHO SPOKE BEFORE

1:45:47ME ALL HIT ON MY PRIMARY

1:45:48CONCERNS. I DO WANT TO TALK

1:45:50ABOUT THE I. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN

1:45:53VERY WELL ENGAGED WITH MY

1:45:54OFFICE. I THINK THAT YOU'RE

1:45:57BRINGING A DEEP DESIRE TO BUILD

1:46:01A POLICY, GIVEN THE GUIDANCE

1:46:03THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED AND WITHIN

1:46:05THE SORT OF CONTEXT OF TRYING

1:46:08TO AVOID A WORLD WHERE WE GET

1:46:09PREEMPTED AND THEN LOSE CONTROL

1:46:11OF THE SITUATION. SO I SO I

1:46:12WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I

1:46:14THINK THAT I HAVE A HIGHER RISK

1:46:17TOLERANCE FOR, FOR TAKING THAT

1:46:19FIGHT ON. LIKE, YOU KNOW, I

1:46:21THINK THE PERSON WHO CHAMPIONED

1:46:22THE BILL LAST TIME IS,

1:46:24REPRESENTS ME CITIES IN, IN

1:46:27WASHINGTON COUNTY. AND I'LL

1:46:28NOTE THAT WASHINGTON COUNTY HAS

1:46:30REVOLTED AGAINST AI DATA FARMS

1:46:33AND THE LIKE. AND SO I DON'T

1:46:35KNOW THAT THE POLITICAL

1:46:36APPETITE IS THERE TO CONTINUE

1:46:37TO, TO PURSUE THAT. AND SO

1:46:38WE'LL SEE HOW THAT FIGHT GOES.

1:46:40BUT THERE'S ONE THING I WANT TO

1:46:42UPLIFT THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY

1:46:43TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT IS

1:46:45THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I ALSO SHARE

1:46:47SOME SKEPTICISM OF INDUSTRY

1:46:49FUNDED STUDIES, BUT IT'S

1:46:52PROBABLY TRUE THAT ON A PER

1:46:53TRIP BASIS IN ISOLATION, THESE

1:46:58THESE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE TRIPS

1:46:59ARE SAFER ON AVERAGE THAN, THAN

1:47:02OTHERS. BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY

1:47:03THE STAKES. THE STAKES ARE

1:47:05WHETHER WE ARE PRODUCING BETTER

1:47:08OR OR WORSE OUTCOMES IN TERMS

1:47:11OF SAFETY FOR THE SYSTEM AS A

1:47:12WHOLE. SO THIS IS A HOLISTIC

1:47:14GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS

1:47:15PARTS PROBLEM. AND WHAT YOU

1:47:16ALSO FIND IN THESE STUDIES IS,

1:47:19IS ROBOTAXIS OR AVS GENERATE

1:47:22INCREASED VMT. SO THAT'S

1:47:23VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED. AND

1:47:24THAT'S PARTICULARLY EXACERBATED

1:47:26IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE'S NO

1:47:27PLACE TO PARK. AND BECAUSE THE

1:47:30CITY OF PORTLAND DOES DOESN'T

1:47:31HAVE THE APPETITE TO

1:47:33APPROPRIATELY PRICE ON STREET

1:47:35PARKING, TO DISINCENTIVIZE

1:47:37STORING A CAR BASICALLY FOR

1:47:39FREE IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

1:47:42AND THEN WE HAVE A LOT OF

1:47:44PLACES DOWNTOWN IN PARTICULAR

1:47:45WHERE IT'S LIKE, THIS IS THIS

1:47:47IS VALET PARKING, THIS IS THIS

1:47:48IS LOADING AND UNLOADING JUST

1:47:50FOR TRUCKS. AND SO THERE'S,

1:47:51THERE'S NOT A LOT OF EXTRA

1:47:52SPACE TO JUST PULL OVER AND

1:47:54PARK FOR A BIT. YOU'RE GOING TO

1:47:56GET WAY MORE DEADHEADING AND A

1:47:57LOT MORE VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED.

1:47:58AND THAT MAY ACTUALLY RESULT IN

1:48:02INCREASING SAFETY RISKS FASTER

1:48:04THAN IT DOES THE SORT OF

1:48:06REDUCTION ON THE KIND OF LIKE

1:48:08DRIVER VERSUS ROBOT LENS. AND

1:48:10SO, LIKE, THIS IS A PROBLEM

1:48:12THAT CAN ONLY REALLY BE

1:48:13ASCERTAINED WITH MORE DATA. AND

1:48:14I WOULD SUGGEST THAT I'M NOT

1:48:17SURE THAT'S A RISK I WANT TO

1:48:19TAKE. I SUPPORT COUNCILOR KANAL

1:48:21SORT OF DIRECTION HERE. THIS IS

1:48:23THE ONLY PLACE WHERE WE CAN

1:48:24TALK ABOUT THAT MORE THAN 1 OR

1:48:262 PEOPLE AT A TIME. SO THAT'S

1:48:27THE APPETITE THAT I HAVE. BUT

1:48:29IF WE CAN'T IF WE CAN'T DO AN

1:48:31OUTRIGHT BAN, I THINK MY NEXT

1:48:34MY NEXT BEST OPTION IS THE

1:48:36HUMAN SAFETY OPERATOR. AND I

1:48:39FEEL LIKE IF IF YOU WANT IF YOU

1:48:42WANT AVS IN PORTLAND, BECAUSE

1:48:43YOU WANT TO HAVE EXPERIENCED

1:48:47THE SORT OF POTENTIAL THAT THEY

1:48:50ARE A SAFER TRIP FOR YOU, THAT

1:48:52SHOULD STILL BE TRUE WITH, WITH,

1:48:53WITH THE SAFETY OFFICER IN THE

1:48:55SEAT. AND SO IF WE HAVE TO GO

1:48:57SOME SORT OF DIRECTION, THAT'S

1:48:59LESS THAN A BAN. THAT'S THE

1:49:01DIRECTION I WANT TO GO. I ALSO

1:49:04I WANT TO LAUD YOUR FOCUS ON

1:49:08MINIMIZING THE TIME THAT'S IN

1:49:09THE BIKE LANES. I WANT TO

1:49:10EXTEND THAT TO, YOU KNOW, TO

1:49:12THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN PREVENT

1:49:14THEM FROM IDLING IN DAYLIGHT AT

1:49:16INTERSECTIONS TOO, BECAUSE

1:49:17THAT'S, I MEAN, THE BIGGEST

1:49:19THREAT TO PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. SO

1:49:20I'LL LEAVE IT THERE FOR NOW.

1:49:22THANKS.

1:49:23>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GREEN

1:49:25COLLEAGUES, WE'RE REALLY AT

1:49:27TIME. SO I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME

1:49:29CONCLUDING REMARKS HERE AND

1:49:30THEN WE'LL TAKE A BREAK IF

1:49:32THAT'S OKAY WITH EVERYBODY.

1:49:33FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO

1:49:35THANK THE TEAM AGAIN FOR ALL

1:49:36THE WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO

1:49:38THIS, HOW RESPONSIVE YOU'VE

1:49:39BEEN TO EVERYONE, HOW YOU'VE

1:49:41TRIED TO TAKE INTO

1:49:44CONSIDERATION ALL THE THINGS

1:49:45THAT THE OTHER CITIES HAVE TOLD

1:49:47YOU ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE

1:49:50PREEMPTED, AND YOU'VE TRIED TO

1:49:51DESIGN THE BEST PACKAGE THAT

1:49:52YOU POSSIBLY CAN TO PROTECT US.

1:49:56I THINK COUNCILOR KANAL COMMENT

1:49:57ABOUT DYSTOPIAN FUTURE I, I

1:49:59DON'T WANT THAT EITHER. I'M

1:50:01LET'S BE REALLY CLEAR THAT I'M

1:50:02NOT SUPPORTIVE OF WAYMO BEING

1:50:05HERE EITHER OR WHATEVER COMPANY,

1:50:09BUT I'M ALSO I'VE WORKED IN THE

1:50:11LEGISLATURE MOST OF MY CAREER

1:50:12AND FOUGHT PREEMPTION, AND I'M

1:50:14QUITE CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE

1:50:17PREEMPTED. AND I FEEL LIKE THE

1:50:18CANARY IN THE COAL MINE

1:50:20SOMETIMES HERE. BUT WE HAVE 15

1:50:22OTHER CITIES TO LEARN FROM. AND

1:50:24IF WE COULD BE THE CITY THAT

1:50:26ACTUALLY DESIGNED SOMETHING

1:50:26THAT WORKED IN, PERFECT AS IT

1:50:29MAY BE, AND PREVENT THE STATE

1:50:32LEGISLATURE FROM TAKING AWAY

1:50:33OUR POWER, I THINK THAT'S THE

1:50:35DIRECTION WE COULD GO. BUT

1:50:37CLEARLY, I THINK I'M I COULD BE

1:50:40OUTVOTED HERE, BUT I'M GOING TO

1:50:41KEEP TRYING BECAUSE I THINK

1:50:43THAT IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT

1:50:46THE LEGISLATURE WON'T PREEMPT

1:50:48US, THEN YOU WIN. AND THAT'S

1:50:50GREAT. AND I THINK THAT'S SUPER.

1:50:51IF THEY DO, I THINK THAT YOU

1:50:53ALL OUGHT TO START WORKING ON

1:50:55GETTING A GOVERNOR'S VETO AFTER

1:50:56THE ELECTION, BECAUSE I THINK

1:50:58THE COMPOSITION OF THE

1:50:59LEGISLATURE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S

1:51:00CHANGING AND MAYBE GETTING

1:51:01BETTER, AND SOME PEOPLE'S

1:51:02OPINION, I THINK THAT WE WILL

1:51:04LOSE THIS DEBATE. SO WE NEED TO

1:51:06PREPARE FOR IT. AND I THOUGHT

1:51:07THIS WAS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO

1:51:09PREPARE FOR IT, TO DESIGN THE

1:51:11BEST PACKAGE WE COULD BASED ON

1:51:12WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE

1:51:14EXPERIENCED WHEN THEY'VE BEEN

1:51:15PREEMPTED AND DON'T GET ANY

1:51:17DATA, DON'T GET MONEY, THEY GET

1:51:19NOTHING. SO I WAS HOPING THAT

1:51:21WE COULD ACTUALLY GET SOMETHING

1:51:23OUT OF THIS, BUT IN ANY EVENT,

1:51:25WE WILL WE WILL CONTINUE THIS

1:51:27CONVERSATION. WE WILL DRAFT

1:51:29SOMETHING THAT IS THE BEST

1:51:30THING WE CAN DO. BRING THAT

1:51:32BACK IN TWO WEEKS AND WE'LL SEE

1:51:34HOW THE CHIPS FALL. SO THANK

1:51:36YOU EVERYBODY. THANKS FOR YOUR

1:51:37EXCELLENT COMMENTS. THE WORK

1:51:38THAT YOU DID ON GOING THROUGH

1:51:40ALL THE CONCEPTS. I REALLY

1:51:42APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. AND

1:51:43THANKS TO THE STAFF. SO LET'S

1:51:45TAKE A TEN MINUTE BREAK. WHY

1:51:48DON'T WE COME BACK HERE AT 1126?

2:05:51ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A QUORUM. SO

2:05:54LET'S GO AHEAD AND LET'S SEE.

2:05:57DIANA, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ

2:05:59THE NEXT ITEM?

2:06:01>> ITEM NUMBER THREE. DOCUMENT

2:06:03NUMBER 2026-364. AMEND

2:06:08TRANSPORTATION FEE SCHEDULE TO

2:06:10ESTABLISH AN EVENT PARKING RATE

2:06:12WITHIN THE LLOYD EVENT DISTRICT

2:06:15AND ZONE V PARKING PERMIT AREA.

2:06:19AMEND TRN3 .450.

2:06:24>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO

2:06:26COLLEAGUES, THIS LEGISLATION IS

2:06:28TO ADDRESS PARKING ISSUES IN

2:06:29THE LLOYD EVENT DISTRICT DURING

2:06:31EVENTS AT THE MODA CENTER. I

2:06:33THINK THEY'VE IMPACTED

2:06:35NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS AND

2:06:36THEIR ABILITY TO FIND THEIR OWN

2:06:37PARKING DURING PEAK EVENTS. IS

2:06:41THIS YOUR DISTRICT? COUNCILOR?

2:06:42IT IS YOUR DISTRICT. WITH THAT,

2:06:45LET ME JUST HAND THIS OFF TO

2:06:47PBOT STAFF. GLAD TO SEE YOU

2:06:48HERE. KRISTEN. ARE YOU ARE YOU

2:06:50HERE TO KICK IT OFF?

2:06:51>> I AM.

2:06:52>> FOR THE RECORD, I'M KRISTEN

2:06:54HALL, PBOT INTERIM DIRECTOR FOR

2:06:56PLANNING FOR PROGRAMS AND

2:06:58PROJECTS. I'M HERE WITH RALEIGH

2:06:59STARK, OUR PARKING DISTRICT

2:07:01PROJECT MANAGER. WE'RE HERE TO

2:07:03DISCUSS AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND

2:07:04THE TRANSPORTATION FEE SCHEDULE

2:07:06TO ADJUST THE HOURLY RATE IN

2:07:08THE ZONE B PERMIT AREA IN THE

2:07:10ELLIOTT NEIGHBORHOOD. AS WE

2:07:12DIVE IN, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE

2:07:14THE MANY PEOPLE AT PBOT WHO

2:07:15WORK ON PARKING DISTRICTS,

2:07:16INCLUDING OUR PARKING

2:07:17OPERATIONS TEAM, ESPECIALLY

2:07:18ERICA NEBEL AND KRISTEN ALDRIN.

2:07:20I THINK THEY'RE HERE IN THE

2:07:21BACK, AS WELL AS OUR METER SHOP

2:07:23AND PARKING ENFORCEMENT TEAM.

2:07:24IT'S TRULY A WHOLE BUREAU

2:07:26EFFORT TO MANAGE OUR PARKING

2:07:28SYSTEM. I ALSO WANT TO

2:07:30ACKNOWLEDGE THE TIMELINESS OF

2:07:31THIS ORDINANCE. THE RESIDENTS

2:07:32OF THE ZONE B PERMIT AREA ARE

2:07:34IMPACTED BY EVENTS THROUGHOUT

2:07:36THE YEAR, BUT BLAZER SEASON IS

2:07:38A PARTICULARLY BIG DEAL GIVEN

2:07:39THE SEASON IS KICKING OFF.

2:07:41WE'RE BRINGING THIS ORDINANCE

2:07:42FORWARD NOW, WHICH WOULD ALLOW

2:07:43US TO IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES AS

2:07:45SOON AS 30 DAYS AFTER APPROVAL

2:07:46BY CITY COUNCIL. NEXT SLIDE.

2:07:50THANK YOU. WE MANAGE ON STREET

2:07:52PARKING BECAUSE IT'S A LIMITED

2:07:54RESOURCE WHERE DEMAND FAR

2:07:56EXCEEDS SUPPLY IN MANY PARTS OF

2:07:57OUR CITY, WITHOUT MANAGEMENT

2:07:59THROUGH PRICING AND OTHER TOOLS,

2:08:01PARKING SPACES BECOME

2:08:02IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, NEGATIVELY

2:08:05IMPACTING BUSINESSES, EMPLOYEES,

2:08:06AND RESIDENTS. PARKING

2:08:11MANAGEMENT HAS MANY BENEFITS.

2:08:13IT IMPROVES SAFETY IN LINE WITH

2:08:14OUR VISION ZERO GOALS, AND IT

2:08:16ENSURES THAT CUSTOMERS CAN SHOP

2:08:17AT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES. AT ITS

2:08:20CORE, IT MATTERS BECAUSE IT

2:08:21REFLECTS WHAT PORTLANDERS WANT

2:08:23A VIBRANT CITY WITH THRIVING

2:08:24BUSINESSES, CONVENIENT ACCESS

2:08:26TO SERVICES, AND WALKABLE, SAFE

2:08:28NEIGHBORHOODS. ACHIEVING THAT

2:08:29VISION REQUIRES THOUGHTFUL

2:08:30PARKING MANAGEMENT, AND I

2:08:32STRESS THE WORD THOUGHTFUL HERE

2:08:34BECAUSE THE NEEDS OF DIFFERENT

2:08:35STAKEHOLDERS CAN BE IN CONFLICT.

2:08:37SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING PARKING

2:08:40REQUIRES THAT EVERYONE

2:08:41COMPROMISES A LITTLE BIT. SO

2:08:44HOW DO WE DO IT? WE MANAGE

2:08:46PARKING BASED ON THE LAND USE

2:08:48CONTEXT AND THE COMMUNITY'S

2:08:49GOALS FOR AN AREA. FOR EACH OF

2:08:50THESE CONTEXTS, WE USE OUR

2:08:52SUITE OF MANAGEMENT TOOLS,

2:08:53INCLUDING TIME LIMITS, PARKING

2:08:55PERMITS, AND PAID PARKING TO

2:08:56MANAGE THAT ON STREET PARKING

2:08:58SUPPLY, WE LOOK AT A COMMERCIAL

2:09:00MAIN STREET LIKE THE WEST END.

2:09:03WE MANAGE PARKING SO VISITORS

2:09:06ARE ABLE TO FIND A SPACE WHEN

2:09:08THEY WANT TO VISIT A RESTAURANT

2:09:10OR SHOP, AND WE TRY TO MAKE

2:09:11SURE EACH SPACE PARKING SPACE

2:09:14SEES MORE VISITORS PER DAY. WE

2:09:18MANAGE PARKING FOR

2:09:19NEIGHBORHOODS ADJACENT TO AN

2:09:20EMPLOYMENT OR EVENT CENTER,

2:09:21LIKE HERE IN THE ELLIOTT

2:09:22NEIGHBORHOOD, TO ENSURE THAT

2:09:25SPACE IS AVAILABLE FOR

2:09:26RESIDENTS DURING EVENTS. THAT

2:09:27MEANS THAT OUR RESIDENT

2:09:28RETURNING HOME FROM WORK, OR

2:09:30WHO NEEDS TO RUN TO THE GROCERY

2:09:31STORE DURING AN EVENT. AN EVENT

2:09:33CAN FIND A PLACE TO PARK, EVEN

2:09:35ON AN EVENT NIGHT. WE MANAGE

2:09:39PARKING IN DENSE RESIDENTIAL

2:09:40NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE SLABTOWN.

2:09:42WHEN PARKING IS MANAGED, WE CAN

2:09:44CONTINUE TO GROW, AND HOUSING

2:09:45CAN BE BUILT WITHOUT UNINTENDED

2:09:47CONSEQUENCES LIKE CONGESTION

2:09:49AND FULL ON STREET PARKING.

2:09:54PBOT HAS FIVE PARKING DISTRICTS,

2:09:56AND IN OUR MOST DENSE

2:09:58NEIGHBORHOODS, WE'RE ALSO

2:09:59WORKING WITH BUSINESSES AND

2:10:00RESIDENTS TO ESTABLISH A

2:10:01PARKING DISTRICT IN NORTH

2:10:03NORTHEAST PORTLAND, WHICH WILL

2:10:04BE READY FOR COUNCIL

2:10:05CONSIDERATION IN THE COMING

2:10:06MONTHS. IMPORTANTLY, IN THESE

2:10:08AREAS, IT IS NOT JUST

2:10:10DESIGNATING AN AREA PARKING

2:10:11DISTRICT. MORE IMPORTANTLY,

2:10:13IT'S A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PBOT

2:10:14AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MANAGE

2:10:16PARKING AND MAKE IT EASIER TO

2:10:17GET TO THESE AREAS WITHOUT

2:10:20DRIVING. STAKEHOLDERS IMPLEMENT

2:10:24PARKING MANAGEMENT TOOLS AS WE

2:10:26WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS,

2:10:27IMPLEMENT PARKING MANAGEMENT

2:10:28TOOLS, AS WELL AS MAKING IT

2:10:29EASIER TO BIKE, WALK OR TAKE

2:10:31TRANSIT TO CREATE THE WALKABLE,

2:10:32THRIVING NEIGHBORHOODS AND

2:10:33BUSINESS DISTRICTS THAT

2:10:34PORTLANDERS WANT. SO WE'RE HERE

2:10:36TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THIS

2:10:37ORDINANCE TO INCREASE THE

2:10:38HOURLY PARKING RATES IN ONE

2:10:40PORTION OF THE ELLIOTT

2:10:42NEIGHBORHOOD, WHERE IT OVERLAPS

2:10:43WITH THE ZONE V PERMIT PROGRAM.

2:10:45THE MECHANISM TO DO THAT IS AN

2:10:47AMENDMENT TO THE TRANSPORTATION

2:10:48FEE SCHEDULE. BY ADDING A NEW

2:10:49LINE ITEM, I'M GOING TO PASS IT

2:10:51TO RALLY. TO GET INTO THE

2:10:52SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL.

2:10:54>> THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING,

2:10:57COUNCILORS.

2:10:57>> FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS

2:10:59REILLY STARK AND I'M THE

2:11:00PARKING DISTRICT PROJECT

2:11:01MANAGER WITHIN THE

2:11:03TRANSPORTATION PLANNING SECTION.

2:11:05AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE

2:11:06ELLIOTT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE

2:11:07PAST THREE YEARS ON THEIR

2:11:08PARKING ISSUES. SO TO FRAME

2:11:12WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY,

2:11:14THIS IS THE LLOYD EVENT

2:11:16DISTRICT. IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN

2:11:182022 TO BETTER MANAGE PARKING

2:11:19DURING LARGE EVENTS AT THE MODA

2:11:21CENTER. SO WHEN THERE'S A LARGE

2:11:23EVENT OR A COMBINATION OF

2:11:24EVENTS WITH 10,000 OR MORE

2:11:27ATTENDEES, THE DISTRICT IS

2:11:29ACTIVATED AND YOU MUST PAY TO

2:11:30PARK. IT IS ACTIVATED

2:11:33APPROXIMATELY 120 DAYS, OR A

2:11:35THIRD OF THE YEAR. HIGHLIGHTED

2:11:42HERE IN RED IS THE ZONE V

2:11:44PERMIT DISTRICT. THIS WAS

2:11:46CREATED IN 2024 TO HELP

2:11:49PRIORITIZE PARKING FOR

2:11:50RESIDENTS DURING LARGE EVENTS,

2:11:52AND THIS CAME TO FRUITION

2:11:54BECAUSE THERE WAS A NUMBER OF

2:11:56RESIDENTS IN THE ELLIOTT

2:11:57NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE BEEN

2:11:58ASKING FOR YEARS TO HELP

2:12:00SUPPORT THEM ON THE CONGESTION

2:12:01THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING IN

2:12:03THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. I WANT TO

2:12:07HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS THIS

2:12:08PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED FOR THE

2:12:10NEIGHBORHOOD BY THE

2:12:11NEIGHBORHOOD. SO BACK IN 2024,

2:12:13WHEN IT WAS CREATED, A COUPLE

2:12:15THINGS I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS

2:12:17THAT THERE ARE INCOME BASED

2:12:19PERMITS. SO BASED ON YOUR

2:12:20INCOME, THE RATE FOR AN ANNUAL

2:12:22PERMIT IS $65 OR $155. THERE'S

2:12:27ALSO GUEST PERMITS. SO THIS WAS

2:12:29REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE

2:12:30COMMITTEE FOR CAREGIVERS AND

2:12:32ANY VISITORS TO THE

2:12:34NEIGHBORHOOD TO THAT ARE

2:12:36REGULAR AND ROUTINE VISITORS.

2:12:37SO WE HAVE A GUEST PERMIT

2:12:38PROGRAM, AND WE ALSO HAVE

2:12:40NONPROFIT PERMITS AVAILABLE

2:12:41BECAUSE THERE'S A NUMBER OF

2:12:42NONPROFITS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

2:12:45SO WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE

2:12:46NEIGHBORHOOD FOR A COUPLE OF

2:12:47YEARS, AND SINCE THE

2:12:49ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PERMIT, WE

2:12:50HAVE BEEN EVALUATING EVER SINCE.

2:12:53WE THEN ADDED PAY TO PARK TO

2:12:55THIS AREA. SO IF THE IF YOU ARE

2:12:58NOT A PERMIT HOLDER, YOU MUST

2:13:00PAY TO PARK. THE CURRENT RATE

2:13:02IS $5.40. HERE ON THE SCREEN IS

2:13:11A OCCUPANCY STUDY THAT WAS DONE

2:13:14DURING A BLAZERS AND

2:13:16WINTERHAWKS GAME IN MARCH OF 26.

2:13:20DURING THIS YEAR'S DATA

2:13:22COLLECTION, THE PEAK OCCUPANCY

2:13:23WAS 96%, WHICH MATCHES WHAT WE

2:13:26HEARD ANECDOTALLY FROM THE

2:13:27NEIGHBORHOOD. PARKING IS STILL

2:13:29EXTREMELY CONSTRAINED AND

2:13:30RESIDENTS ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY

2:13:32PARKING DURING EVENTS. AS YOU

2:13:35CAN SEE FROM THE SCREEN, ANY

2:13:37ANY BLOCK FACE IN RED IS

2:13:40CONSIDERED CONSTRAINED. SO 96%

2:13:42IS REALLY HIGH FOR THE

2:13:43NEIGHBORHOOD. WE TALK A LOT

2:13:47ABOUT OCCUPANCY WHEN IT COMES

2:13:48TO PARKING MANAGEMENT, AND I

2:13:50WANT TO SHOW YOU A DIAGRAM

2:13:51ABOUT WHY THIS MATTERS. SO THE

2:13:55PEAK OCCUPANCY IN ELLIOTT WAS

2:13:5796%, WHICH IS WHICH MEANS THAT

2:14:00SOME BLOCKS WERE ACTUALLY 100%

2:14:02AND YOU COULD NOT FIND A SPACE

2:14:03ANYWHERE WHEN PARKING IS THIS

2:14:06CONSTRAINED. WE ALSO HAVE OTHER

2:14:08ISSUES, MOSTLY SAFETY ISSUES,

2:14:10BECAUSE PEOPLE TEND TO THEN

2:14:11PARK IN FRONT OF FIRE HYDRANTS,

2:14:14BLOCK VISION CLEARANCE, AND

2:14:16PARK OVER CROSSWALKS. IF YOU

2:14:19LIVED IN ELLIOTT AND CAME HOME

2:14:21DURING A GAME, THIS IS WHAT YOU

2:14:23WOULD EXPERIENCE. HOW PBOT

2:14:31MANAGES PARKING IS TO TO KEEP

2:14:33THE OCCUPANCY UNDER 85%. SO

2:14:36IDEALLY THERE'D BE 1 TO 3

2:14:37SPACES AVAILABLE. AS YOU CAN

2:14:39SEE BY THE DIAGRAM, THAT SHOWS

2:14:41AN 80% OCCUPANCY. SO WHEN A

2:14:43RESIDENT COMES HOME FROM WORK

2:14:45OR RUNNING AN ERRAND, WE WANT

2:14:46THEM TO BE ABLE TO FIND A SPACE

2:14:48ON THE STREET. AND IF THEY'RE A

2:14:50BUSINESS OR NONPROFIT, WE WENT

2:14:51THROUGH THEIR GUESTS, THEIR

2:14:53CUSTOMERS TO BE ABLE TO FIND A

2:14:55SPOT. OUR PROPOSAL TODAY IS TO

2:15:00INCREASE THE RATE FROM $5.40 TO

2:15:03$8 PER HOUR. ONLY ON THE BLOCK

2:15:06FACES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE

2:15:08HIGHEST DEMAND. SO WE WILL

2:15:12UPDATE. THE PROPOSAL IS TO

2:15:13UPDATE THE TRANSPORTATION FEE

2:15:15SCHEDULE TO CREATE A NEW LINE

2:15:17ITEM FOR $8 RATE. FOR EVENT

2:15:23PARKING. IF EVENT GOERS MUST

2:15:25DRIVE, WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE

2:15:27TO PARK IN THE. THAT AREA OF

2:15:30THE THE REMAINING AREA OF THE

2:15:32LLOYD EVENT DISTRICT AND NOT IN

2:15:33THE ELLIOTT NEIGHBORHOOD. THE

2:15:35REST OF THE LLOYD EVENT

2:15:36DISTRICT IS ARE DIFFERENT TYPES

2:15:38OF USES AND THE CAPACITY FOR

2:15:40PARKING IS THERE. HERE'S A

2:15:44ZOOMED IN VERSION OF THAT. SO

2:15:46YOU CAN SEE SPECIFICALLY WHICH

2:15:47BLOCK FACES ARE BEING IMPACTED.

2:15:55THIS IS OUR PROPOSAL TODAY. AND

2:15:59AS I SAID, I'VE BEEN WORKING

2:15:59WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I AM

2:16:01COMMITTED TO MAKING THIS

2:16:02PROGRAM WORK FOR THE MANY

2:16:04RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY THE

2:16:05ROUTINE EVENTS.

2:16:09>> IS THAT THE.

2:16:10>> THAT'S IT. WE'RE HERE. I'M

2:16:12SORRY. WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER

2:16:13QUESTIONS.

2:16:14>> THANK YOU. REILLY, BEFORE WE

2:16:16DO THAT, HAS ANYBODY SIGNED UP

2:16:18TO TESTIFY ON THIS?

2:16:19>> WE DO HAVE ONE INVITED

2:16:21TESTIMONY.

2:16:21>> WHEN INVITED. CAN WE HEAR

2:16:22FROM THAT PERSON BEFORE WE HAVE

2:16:24OUR CONVERSATION? WELCOME.

2:16:27THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

2:16:29>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR

2:16:30THANKS FOR HAVING ME. FOR THE

2:16:32RECORD, I'M JASON FRANKLIN. I

2:16:33LIVE AT 1907 NORTHEAST RODNEY

2:16:35AVENUE. SO WITHIN THE PARKING

2:16:37DISTRICT AND WITHIN THE

2:16:39PROPOSED $8 INCREASE AREA. SO

2:16:42FIRST I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO

2:16:43REILLY AND ALL THE STAFF WHO'VE

2:16:45BEEN WORKING WITH THE

2:16:46NEIGHBORHOOD FOR A LONG TIME.

2:16:47MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED AT OUR

2:16:49CURRENT RESIDENCE FOR 28 YEARS,

2:16:53SO WE'VE SEEN THE TRAFFIC

2:16:55GRADUALLY INCREASE OVER THE

2:16:57YEARS, PARTIALLY TO MORE AND

2:16:59MORE EVENTS IN THE DISTRICT,

2:17:01WHICH IS GREAT, AND ALSO MORE

2:17:02RESIDENTS, WHICH IS ALSO GREAT.

2:17:04BUT AS WAS POINTED OUT, PARKING

2:17:05IS A SCARCE RESOURCE AND NEEDS

2:17:07TO BE MANAGED ADEQUATELY. AND

2:17:10CURRENTLY THAT'S JUST NOT THE

2:17:12CASE. SO AS WAS POINTED OUT, WE

2:17:14DO PAY A YEARLY RATE FOR

2:17:18PARKING PRIVILEGE OF PARKING IN

2:17:20FRONT OF HOPEFULLY CLOSE TO OUR

2:17:22HOUSE, AND THAT'S $155 A YEAR.

2:17:25AND THAT IS IN NO WAY

2:17:27GUARANTEES THAT WE'LL HAVE ANY

2:17:28PLACE TO PARK ON A GAME DAY OR

2:17:30MAJOR EVENT. AND SO WE JUST WE

2:17:32DON'T GO OUT. RIGHT. YOU WANT

2:17:34TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE

2:17:36GROCERIES AND DON'T HAVE

2:17:37ANYTHING COME UP DURING A GAME

2:17:38DAY, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GETTING

2:17:40A SPACE TO PARK ANYWHERE CLOSE

2:17:41TO YOUR HOUSE. IF YOU'RE IN

2:17:43THAT IMPACTED AREA THAT THAT

2:17:44REALLY INDICATED. SO HOPEFULLY

2:17:48THIS INCREASE WILL HELP

2:17:50ALLEVIATE THAT SOMEWHAT. I'M

2:17:52NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCED THAT $8

2:17:54IS EVEN ENOUGH, REALLY, GIVEN

2:17:56THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, 50 BUCKS

2:17:59TO, TO PARK NEXT TO THE ARENA

2:18:00AND 25 TO PARK ACROSS THE

2:18:02STREET OR WHATEVER IT IS. SO I

2:18:04THINK THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE

2:18:06PARKING IMPACTS. BUT THIS FIRST

2:18:09STEP IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE. AND

2:18:10I THINK MOVING IN MORE OF A

2:18:13DYNAMIC PRICING, GIVING STAFF A

2:18:14LITTLE MORE LEEWAY TO CONTINUE

2:18:15TO MANAGE THE DISTRICT AS WE

2:18:17MOVE FORWARD. WORKING WITH THE

2:18:18NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS

2:18:19GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. SO AGAIN,

2:18:22I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR

2:18:24TIME AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO VOTE

2:18:25YES ON THIS RESOLUTION, MOVE IT

2:18:27TO OR THIS ORDINANCE AND MOVE

2:18:29IT TO FULL COUNCIL. THANK YOU.

2:18:31>> THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR

2:18:32BEING HERE TODAY. COLLEAGUES. I

2:18:34DON'T SEE ANY HANDS UP YET. SO

2:18:35I'M GOING TO ASK A QUESTION.

2:18:37CAN YOU ARE WE DO WE HAVE

2:18:39TESTIFIERS? WE HAVE ANOTHER

2:18:40PERSON.

2:18:41>> WE HAVE WE HAVE TWO

2:18:42TESTIFIERS TODAY. YES.

2:18:43>> I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ONE.

2:18:45GREAT.

2:18:45>> THANK YOU. SUPER. WE HAVE

2:18:47ALAN REDWICK AND EDAN KROLEVETS.

2:18:50>> HI, ALAN. THANK YOU FOR

2:18:52BEING HERE.

2:18:53>> HELLO. I HAVE EXTENSIVE

2:18:55NOTES, BUT I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF.

2:18:58GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS ALAN

2:18:59RUDWICK. I'M CURRENTLY THE

2:19:01CO-CHAIR OF THE ELLIOTT

2:19:02NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. I'VE

2:19:03BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN ALL THE

2:19:04COMMITTEE MEETINGS. THERE HAVE

2:19:06BEEN MANY MORE THAN 20 OVER THE

2:19:08YEARS TALKING ABOUT THIS

2:19:09PROCESS. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST

2:19:12ATTEMPT FOR THIS WAS IN 1992.

2:19:15IN 2011, THERE WAS A MINI AREA

2:19:17PERMIT PROGRAM THAT WAS CREATED.

2:19:20IN 2018, THERE WERE TWO PILOT

2:19:23AREAS, BOISE AND ELLIOTT, THAT

2:19:24WERE CREATED. THE PARKING TASK

2:19:26FORCE STARTED IN 2022. THIS IS

2:19:29NOW THE SECOND ROUND. WE TRIED

2:19:31PERMITS. ENFORCEMENT COULDN'T

2:19:32DO IT. NOW WE HAVE METERS. THE

2:19:34PRICE ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH, AND WE

2:19:37ALSO HAVE A LARGER PLAN, THE

2:19:39NORTH NORTHEAST PLAN, WHICH IS

2:19:42STALLED WAITING FOR YOU GUYS OR

2:19:43WAITING FOR STAFF TO BRING

2:19:44SOMETHING TO YOU GUYS THAT YOU

2:19:46COULD LET US CREATE A COMMITTEE

2:19:48TODAY, BUT YOU COULD ALSO WAIT

2:19:49AND INSTRUCT STAFF TO COME BACK

2:19:51WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE

2:19:53INFORMATION FOR YOU ABOUT THAT.

2:19:56BUT AS JASON SAID, YOU KNOW,

2:19:57PEOPLE CAN'T PARK IN FRONT OF

2:19:59THEIR HOUSE. THE ENTIRE PURPOSE

2:20:00OF THIS DISTRICT WAS TO LET

2:20:01PEOPLE PARK IN FRONT OF THEIR

2:20:03HOUSE. SO A LOT OF MONEY, YOU

2:20:05KNOW, 25,000 A YEAR FROM

2:20:06RESIDENTS. PLUS, IT SOUNDS LIKE

2:20:07THREE QUARTERS OF $1 MILLION IN

2:20:09METER REVENUE IS GOING TO NOT

2:20:10ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. I MEAN,

2:20:12REVENUE IS GREAT, BUT THAT'S

2:20:14NOT WHAT WE TRIED TO DO. AND

2:20:16WE'RE QUITE FRUSTRATED. THIS

2:20:19ZONE V WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE

2:20:20ONE OF MANY THINGS THAT WE

2:20:21TALKED ABOUT DURING THIS

2:20:23PARKING AREA PLAN. AS YOU KNOW,

2:20:25LIKE WE HAVE SEVERAL COMMERCIAL

2:20:27DISTRICTS IN THE AREA AND

2:20:28PARKING AROUND THOSE AREAS HAS

2:20:29BEEN CONSTRAINED AS MORE

2:20:31HOUSING HAS GOTTEN BUILT AND WE

2:20:33AREN'T ABLE TO DEAL WITH ANY OF

2:20:35THOSE ISSUES UNTIL THE NORTH

2:20:36NORTHEAST PARKING PLAN IS

2:20:38ADOPTED. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE

2:20:40SOME POTENTIAL LANGUAGE YOU

2:20:42COULD AMEND TO THE ORDINANCE

2:20:44YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.

2:20:46IF YOU WANTED TO PASS THAT. IN

2:20:49MY WRITTEN TESTIMONY ONLINE.

2:20:52BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER

2:20:53PROBLEMS WITH THE CURRENT SETUP.

2:20:55ONE IS MOST OF THE NEWER

2:20:57PARKING PERMIT AREAS SHARE 51%

2:21:00OF THEIR REVENUE WITH THE AREA

2:21:03THAT THEY'RE SET UP IN, BUT

2:21:04THIS ONE IS CURRENTLY JUST

2:21:05DUMPING ALL OF ITS MONEY

2:21:07SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE'RE NOT

2:21:08GETTING ANY BENEFITS. WE HAD

2:21:10TRIED TO SUBSIDIZE LOW INCOME

2:21:12PERMITS, PROVIDE GUEST PERMITS,

2:21:14WHICH I GUESS DISAPPEARED IN

2:21:16ONE OF THE ITERATIONS OF THIS

2:21:17PLAN. SO THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO

2:21:19BE SOME PERKS TO THE NEIGHBORS

2:21:22IN THE AREA THAT HAVE BEEN LOST.

2:21:24I THINK HAVING A NORTH

2:21:26NORTHEAST PARKING DISTRICT

2:21:27WOULD ALLOW US TO CONTINUE THE

2:21:29CONVERSATIONS AND KIND OF GET

2:21:30SOME OF THAT STUFF BACK, BUT

2:21:33WE'RE PRETTY. I PERSONALLY AM

2:21:35FRUSTRATED. THE PEOPLE THAT

2:21:36LIVE IN THE AREA ARE FRUSTRATED.

2:21:37I MEAN, THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL

2:21:39ENFORCEMENT, SO THEY'RE GETTING

2:21:40PARKING TICKETS. I KNOW SOMEONE

2:21:41IS GETTING LIKE THEIR PAYCHECKS

2:21:43GARNISHED TO PAY PARKING

2:21:45TICKETS BASED ON THE NEW

2:21:47DISTRICT THAT WAS CREATED.

2:21:49BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU PARK

2:21:50IN FRONT OF ANYWHERE THAT

2:21:52YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO NOW

2:21:53YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE'S A

2:21:54LOT OF ENFORCEMENT GOING AROUND,

2:21:56SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET

2:21:57TICKETED. BUT THERE'S, YOU KNOW,

2:21:58THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS WAS YOU

2:22:00SHOULD BE ABLE TO PARK ON YOUR

2:22:02BLOCK OR CLOSE TO YOUR HOUSE

2:22:03DURING THE EVENT. SO I'M, I'M

2:22:06NERVOUS THAT $8 IS NOT GOING TO

2:22:07BE ENOUGH, THAT THIS IS NOT

2:22:09GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU FOR

2:22:10ANOTHER TWO YEARS. AND IT'LL BE

2:22:12TOTALLY DIFFERENT GROUP OF

2:22:13FACES. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE

2:22:14GOING TO BE STUCK IN DEALING

2:22:16WITH THE REALITIES OF THIS SEMI

2:22:18FAILING PARKING DISTRICT FOR A

2:22:20WHILE. SO IF YOU WANT, I CAN

2:22:23READ THE SUGGESTED AMENDMENT

2:22:26LANGUAGE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF

2:22:27THAT'S WORTH YOUR TIME. IT'S

2:22:29WRITTEN DOWN IN THE WRITTEN

2:22:31TESTIMONY. I CAN GIVE YOU MORE

2:22:33INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THE MANY,

2:22:35MANY MEETINGS AND PHONE CALLS

2:22:37I'VE HAD ABOUT THIS, BUT ALSO,

2:22:39YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T WANT TO

2:22:43HOG THE TIME. I'D LOVE TO HAVE

2:22:44MORE OF A DISCUSSION IF THAT'S.

2:22:46>> COLLEAGUES. DO WE HAVE AN

2:22:47OPINION ON THE AMENDMENT?

2:22:50>> I WOULD LIKE FOR THE TESTIFY

2:22:52TO READ IT INTO THE RECORD.

2:22:53>> OKAY. GO AHEAD.

2:22:54>> OKAY. SO THERE'S THREE

2:22:56PIECES

2:22:57>> THAT THE DEPUTY CITY

2:22:58ADMINISTRATOR AND PUBLIC WORKS

2:23:00IS AUTHORIZED TO IMPLEMENT THE

2:23:01NORTH NORTHEAST PARKING

2:23:02DISTRICT AS OUTLINED IN THE

2:23:04PARKING MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN.

2:23:06THIS IS A LONG DOCUMENT. IT WAS

2:23:08CREATED OVER TWO YEARS. SORRY,

2:23:10I'M INTERRUPTING MY READING.

2:23:12SECOND PORTLAND BUREAU OF

2:23:16PORTLAND. BUREAU OF

2:23:17TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR IS

2:23:18AUTHORIZED TO APPOINT A NORTH

2:23:20NORTHEAST PARKING DISTRICT

2:23:21STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEE

2:23:23TO INFORM FUTURE ACTIONS. PART

2:23:26THREE THE PORTLAND BUREAU OF

2:23:28TRANSPORTATION WILL RETURN TO

2:23:29COUNCIL TO ESTABLISH ANY NEW

2:23:31METER OR PERMIT PROGRAMS

2:23:32WITHOUT COUNCIL ACTION, METER

2:23:34OR PERMIT PROGRAMS CANNOT BE

2:23:36IMPLEMENTED. YOU KNOW, I WOULD

2:23:37LOVE TO NOT SEE THAT LAST ONE,

2:23:38BUT I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL

2:23:40PROBABLY WANT CONTROL. SO

2:23:41BASICALLY, THIS ISN'T REALLY

2:23:42ALLOWING US TO DO ANYTHING

2:23:43EXCEPT KEEP TALKING. OTHERWISE,

2:23:46WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME

2:23:47BACK AND ASK FOR PERMISSION

2:23:49AGAIN TO CONTINUE THAT WORK. SO.

2:23:55I'D LOVE TO NOT HAVE TO SPEND

2:23:56YOUR TIME.

2:23:58>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY

2:23:59MUCH FOR THAT. I'M NOT AS

2:24:01FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS THAT

2:24:04PBOT USES ON PARKING DISTRICTS,

2:24:05SO I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WHAT

2:24:08THEIR REACTION IS TO THIS. AND

2:24:13IT'S NOT MY DISTRICT. I'M

2:24:14CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT COUNCILOR

2:24:17KANAL MIGHT THINK ABOUT THIS.

2:24:21OKAY. ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEE IF

2:24:22THERE'S ARE THERE OTHER OTHER

2:24:25WITNESSES, OTHER FOLKS HERE TO

2:24:27TESTIFY?

2:24:27>> THAT CONCLUDES TESTIMONY OUR

2:24:28OTHER TESTIFIER CHOSE NOT TO

2:24:31TODAY.

2:24:31>> THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU.

2:24:33THANK YOU. YES. WELL, WE HAVE A

2:24:36BUNCH OF HANDS UP, STARTING

2:24:37WITH COUNCILOR SMITH.

2:24:40>> OKAY.

2:24:42>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR

2:24:44READING THAT. HOW WILL PBOT

2:24:46MEASURE WHETHER THE PROPOSED $8

2:24:49PARKING RATES IMPROVES PARKING

2:24:51AVAILABILITY WITHOUT CREATING

2:24:53UNNECESSARY FINANCIAL BURDENS?

2:24:57>> YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT?

2:24:58>> YES. SO THE REASON WHY WE

2:25:01PROPOSED $8 IS BECAUSE WE HAVE

2:25:03A PARKING MANAGEMENT MANUAL

2:25:05THAT HELPS US DICTATE HOW MUCH

2:25:07PARKING SHOULD BE. AND IT ALSO

2:25:10BASED ON THAT, WE WERE WE DOING

2:25:12$8 AN HOUR. WE'RE HOPING TO SEE

2:25:14A DECREASE IN OCCUPANCY. NOW WE

2:25:17ARE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THE

2:25:19PROPERTY MANAGERS IN THE

2:25:20NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAKE SURE THAT

2:25:21RESIDENTS ARE PURCHASING

2:25:23PERMITS. AND WE KNOW THAT IF

2:25:26THERE IF THERE IS A LOW INCOME

2:25:29DISCOUNT. SO WE ARE PROMOTING

2:25:32THAT AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT

2:25:33THEY HAVE PERMITS, BECAUSE IT

2:25:34IS MUCH MORE INEXPENSIVE THAN

2:25:37PAYING FOR PARKING ON A DAILY

2:25:40BASIS.

2:25:46>> COUNCILOR KANAL.

2:25:48>> THANK YOU, CHAIR CLARK. SO

2:25:51FIRST, THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS

2:25:52FORWARD. I'M IT'S MY DISTRICT.

2:25:54OBVIOUSLY. I'M HAPPY TO SEE THE,

2:25:56THE, THE WORK THAT PBOT HAS

2:25:57DONE IN THIS. WHILE I'M VERY

2:26:00EXCITED ABOUT THE IDEA, YOU

2:26:01KNOW, OBVIOUSLY MODA CENTER OR

2:26:03VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM

2:26:04BRING NECESSARY BUSINESS TO THE

2:26:05DISTRICT. OBVIOUSLY, WE SEE THE

2:26:07EFFECTS OF THAT WHEN WE'RE AT

2:26:09CART SIDE OR SOMALI BOY OR

2:26:10ANYWHERE ELSE ON WILLIAMS, FOR

2:26:13EXAMPLE. IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF

2:26:16IMPACT AS WELL ON ADJACENT

2:26:17NEIGHBORS. WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF

2:26:21TESTIMONY AND EMAILS COME IN

2:26:23AROUND EVENT PARKING SPILLING

2:26:24INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU'VE

2:26:27OBVIOUSLY BACKED THAT UP WITH

2:26:28THE WITH THE WITH THE DATA

2:26:29TODAY. AND I THINK THE IDEA IS

2:26:31THAT WE SHOULD BE TAKING A STEP

2:26:34TO MAKE IT A LITTLE LESS

2:26:35ATTRACTIVE FOR EVENT GOERS TO

2:26:36PARK ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND

2:26:39THEREFORE CREATE MORE SPACES

2:26:40WHILE PROTECTING. AS WE

2:26:42IMPLEMENT THAT, RESIDENTS AND

2:26:44PERMIT HOLDERS FROM ANY OF THE

2:26:46POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS. I

2:26:47DID HAVE A QUESTION AROUND A

2:26:49FEW DIFFERENT THINGS, SO HEARD

2:26:52ABOUT FROM NEIGHBORHOOD

2:26:53BUSINESSES LIKE LAZY DAYS

2:26:55BREWING, FOR EXAMPLE, ABOUT

2:26:56SOME OF THE UNINTENDED IMPACTS

2:26:57OF THIS APPROACH AROUND

2:26:58CUSTOMER ACCESS AND CONFUSION

2:27:00ABOUT WHEN EVENT PRICING IS IN

2:27:02EFFECT. AND SO I WANTED TO JUST

2:27:04KIND OF UNDERSTAND THAT AS

2:27:07SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN TO LAZY DAYS

2:27:09A FEW TIMES TRYING TO, YOU KNOW,

2:27:10MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO

2:27:12SUCCEED, BUT HOW, HOW IS YEAH,

2:27:15IT SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHERE

2:27:16THIS QUESTION IS GOING, SO I'LL

2:27:18JUST LET YOU DO IT.

2:27:19>> ARE YOU? YEAH, WE HAVE HEARD

2:27:21FROM LAZY DAYS BREWING AS WELL.

2:27:23THAT AREA IS NOT PROPOSED FOR A

2:27:26CHANGE IN THE PRICING METER.

2:27:28PARKING THE THE TOP PART. WE'RE

2:27:31NOT PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE

2:27:32METER RATE. SO IT'S A LITTLE

2:27:33BIT SEPARATE FROM THE ORDINANCE

2:27:35WE BROUGHT TODAY. BUT WE ALSO

2:27:38ARE REALLY GLAD THAT THROUGH

2:27:39THIS PROCESS, WE HAVE OPENED UP

2:27:42THE AVENUES FOR MORE ENGAGEMENT

2:27:43WITH THOSE STAKEHOLDERS IN THAT

2:27:45AREA. IT'S THERE'S SOME OFFICE

2:27:47BUILDINGS, THERE'S SOME NEW

2:27:48MULTIFAMILY HOUSING. THERE'S

2:27:49HARRIET TUBMAN SCHOOL, LAZY

2:27:51DAYS BREWING, AND WE WANT TO

2:27:53CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM TO

2:27:54FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SOLUTION TO

2:27:56THE PROBLEM IS THERE. IS IT THE

2:27:59WAY THE SIGNAGE IS DISPLAYED,

2:28:01WHICH I RODE MY BIKE BY THIS

2:28:02MORNING AND LOOKED AT, AND IT'S

2:28:04A LITTLE CONFUSING, SO I THINK

2:28:06WE CAN WORK ON IT. SO CAN WE

2:28:07WORK ON THE SIGNAGE? CAN WE

2:28:09UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT THE

2:28:10ISSUES ARE FROM ALL THE

2:28:11STAKEHOLDERS AND FIGURE OUT

2:28:12WHAT THE SOLUTION IS? SO WE ARE

2:28:14COMMITTED TO CONTINUING THAT

2:28:15CONVERSATION AND FIGURING IT

2:28:16OUT. I DON'T HAVE A LIKE AN

2:28:18EASY SOLUTION TO OFFER YOU

2:28:19TODAY, BUT WE ARE WE ARE GOING

2:28:22TO STAY IN THE CONVERSATION.

2:28:24AND IT IS NOT THAT IS NOT

2:28:26IMPACTED BY THE ORDINANCE THAT

2:28:27IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.

2:28:29>> RIGHT. AND I THINK YOU'RE

2:28:31YOU'RE RAISING IT'S A GOOD

2:28:32PIVOT INTO MY NEXT QUESTION,

2:28:33BECAUSE SIGNAGE IS ANOTHER

2:28:34THING THAT'S COME UP. AND

2:28:36BROADLY ENFORCEMENT, WE GET A

2:28:37LOT OF EMAILS. I KNOW THAT THE

2:28:40COUNCILOR PIRTLE-GUINEY IS ALSO

2:28:41MENTIONED IT TO ME THAT THAT

2:28:44THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT

2:28:45ENFORCEMENT CONCERNS ABOUT LACK

2:28:47THEREOF, MEANING THERE ARE

2:28:49PEOPLE WHO ARE ALLEGED TO BE

2:28:51PARKING LONGER THAN THE STATED

2:28:53TIME LIMITS, AS WELL AS NOT

2:28:55PAYING AT ALL. AND OBVIOUSLY,

2:28:57IT CAN FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF

2:28:59YOU'RE A RESIDENT THERE, I HAVE

2:29:00TO PAY FOR $110 A YEAR PERMIT,

2:29:02AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE KIND OF

2:29:04GETTING AWAY WITH NOT DOING SO.

2:29:05SO I WANTED TO, I WANTED TO

2:29:08JUST KIND OF ASK ABOUT THAT.

2:29:09THERE'S, THERE'S ONE SIDE OF IT

2:29:11WHICH IS ENSURING THAT

2:29:12EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE

2:29:13STANDARD IS, AND SIGNAGE IS A

2:29:15PART OF THAT. BUT THE OTHER

2:29:17PIECE IS SORT OF PBOT

2:29:18ENFORCEMENT. CAN YOU SPEAK TO

2:29:19HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK?

2:29:21>> YEAH, I REALLY APPRECIATE

2:29:22THE FRAMING OF THE TWO SIDED

2:29:23EQUATION OF BOTH MAKING OUR

2:29:25EXPECTATIONS CLEAR AND THEN

2:29:26MAKING SURE EVERYONE FOLLOWS

2:29:27THE SAME SET OF RULES. WE'VE

2:29:28HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS

2:29:29ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE

2:29:30ENFORCEMENT IN THIS AREA. DO

2:29:32YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE

2:29:33STRATEGIES?

2:29:33>> SURE. YEAH. WE KNOW THAT

2:29:35PRICING ALONE IS NOT THE ONLY

2:29:36TOOL THAT'S GOING TO FIX THIS

2:29:38ISSUE. SO WE ARE WORKING WITH

2:29:40PARKING ENFORCEMENT ON A COUPLE

2:29:42OTHER STRATEGIES. WE PLAN TO

2:29:46HAVE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE THE

2:29:48BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, REALLY

2:29:51HAVE FOCUSED ENFORCEMENT IN

2:29:53THAT AREA. SO THAT IS ONE PLAN.

2:29:56WE ALSO ARE STILL ENGAGING WITH

2:30:00THE RESIDENTS ON ENSURING THAT

2:30:01THEY GET PERMITS AND THEN

2:30:05PUTTING OUT SOME TEMPORARY

2:30:07SIGNS, LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THE

2:30:09RULES AND KNOWING ALSO WHAT THE

2:30:12POTENTIAL CITATIONS COULD BE SO

2:30:15THAT IT ENCOURAGES THEM TO PAY

2:30:17TO PARK AND THEN ALONG. AND ONE

2:30:19OTHER THING ALONG WITH THIS

2:30:21PROPOSAL IS THAT IT ACTUALLY

2:30:23WILL ALLOW FOR US TO HIGHLIGHT

2:30:25THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEND IT

2:30:27TO, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH RIP

2:30:29CITY COMMUNICATIONS SO THAT

2:30:31THEY CAN NOW PUT A MAP ON, YOU

2:30:33KNOW, ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT

2:30:35SAYS, DO YOU KNOW, WE DO NOT

2:30:37ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARK HERE, WE

2:30:39ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARK IN THE

2:30:40REST OF THE EVENT DISTRICT. AND

2:30:42WE DID NOT HAVE THAT PRIOR TO

2:30:44THIS PROPOSAL.

2:30:46>> OKAY, I APPRECIATE THAT. SO,

2:30:50YOU KNOW, IN THE FINANCIAL AND

2:30:52BUDGETARY IMPACTS, IT SAYS THAT

2:30:53THE ANTICIPATION IS THAT THIS

2:30:55IS GOING TO BE REVENUE NEUTRAL

2:30:56BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE

2:30:57INCREASING THE NUMBER OR SORRY,

2:30:58WE'RE DECREASING THE NUMBER OF

2:30:59PEOPLE WHO PAY, EVEN AS WE'RE

2:31:01INCREASING THE AMOUNT EACH

2:31:02PERSON PAYS. I HAD TWO

2:31:05QUESTIONS RELATED TO THAT. ONE

2:31:06IS, CAN WE EARMARK ANY

2:31:08ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT DOES

2:31:10COME IN IF THOSE PROJECTIONS

2:31:12ARE OFF FOR SIGNAGE AND

2:31:14ENFORCEMENT? IS THAT IS THAT

2:31:17SOMETHING DOABLE?

2:31:18>> I MEAN.

2:31:19>> WE CAN CERTAINLY TALK ABOUT

2:31:20HOW THE ANY ADDITIONAL REVENUES

2:31:22GET SPENT. I WOULD WANT TO

2:31:25CONSULT WITH OUR OUR INTERIM

2:31:27DIRECTOR, WHO'S SITTING IN THE

2:31:28BACK ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT DO THAT.

2:31:30>> OKAY. AND THEN. SIMILARLY,

2:31:34HAS THERE BEEN ANALYSIS DONE ON

2:31:37IF THERE'S AN EXPECTED INCREASE

2:31:40TO REVENUES IN THE PARKING

2:31:41GARAGES? BECAUSE IF THE IDEA IS

2:31:44TO DISPLACE EVENT PARKING FROM

2:31:46THE STREETS, SOME OF THAT MAY

2:31:48END UP BEING TRANSIT, OF COURSE,

2:31:50BUT SOME OF IT MAY ALSO END UP

2:31:52BEING PARKING IN THE THE CITY

2:31:54GARAGES.

2:31:54>> I THINK THE I THINK, YOU

2:31:57KNOW, WITH THE CITY'S ON STREET

2:31:58PARKING MANAGEMENT, THIS SMALL

2:32:00AREA GOING UP TO $8 AN HOUR.

2:32:01WE'RE HOPING THAT IT HELPS

2:32:02PEOPLE FIND PARKING IN OTHER

2:32:04AREAS, WHETHER THAT'S OFF

2:32:06STREET IN A LOT OR IN THE REST

2:32:08OF THE EVENT DISTRICT WHERE THE

2:32:09PARKING RATES AREN'T CHANGING.

2:32:11SO MOST OF THE LLOYD DISTRICT

2:32:12EVENT DISTRICT WILL REMAIN AT

2:32:13THAT $5.40 AN HOUR. AND THERE

2:32:16IS CAPACITY FOR MORE PEOPLE TO

2:32:17PARK IN THE REST OF THAT LLOYD

2:32:19EVENT DISTRICT. SO WE'RE HOPING

2:32:20INSTEAD OF PARKING IN THE IN

2:32:22THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD,

2:32:23THAT HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON

2:32:24THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE.

2:32:25PEOPLE INSTEAD PARK IN THE REST

2:32:27OF THE LLOYD DISTRICT, WHERE

2:32:28THE LAND USE CONTEXT IS IS MORE

2:32:30COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE.

2:32:32>> THAT OPENS UP A QUESTION OF

2:32:34IF THAT MAKES THOSE AREAS ABOVE

2:32:3685%, WHY SHOULD WE EXPECT THAT?

2:32:38YOU'RE CHECKING THAT FREQUENTLY

2:32:40AND COMING BACK TO US AT THAT

2:32:41POINT, BECAUSE I WHAT I, I'D

2:32:43PREFER THAT OVER, YOU KNOW,

2:32:46NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS

2:32:47RAISING IT AND NOT FEELING LIKE

2:32:48THAT'S REFLECTED. RIGHT.

2:32:51>> YEAH, WE WILL CONTINUE TO

2:32:52MONITOR. SO WE WILL BE DOING

2:32:54ANOTHER PARKING STUDY. WE DO

2:32:56ONE AT ONCE TO TWICE A YEAR TO

2:32:59CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

2:33:01OCCUPANCY IS AT THAT, AT THAT

2:33:03LEVEL THAT WE WANT TO SEE IT AT.

2:33:05SO WE DO THE ENTIRE LLOYD EVENT

2:33:07DISTRICT ONCE TO TWICE A YEAR.

2:33:10>> OKAY. THE LAST THING THAT I

2:33:14WANTED TO RAISE IS, YOU KNOW,

2:33:15WHEN WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF

2:33:17EARMARKS, AND I DON'T THINK

2:33:18THERE'S ENOUGH REVENUE TO MAKE

2:33:19THIS ALL WORK, BUT I AM

2:33:21CONCERNED ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.

2:33:22I APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS A

2:33:23THAT THERE IS A OPTION FOR LOW

2:33:25INCOME RESIDENTS TO GET A $65

2:33:27PERMIT ANNUALLY INSTEAD OF A

2:33:29110. BUT OBVIOUSLY IF YOU LIVE

2:33:30ELSEWHERE, IT'S FREE TO PARK ON

2:33:32THE STREET. SO I JUST WANTED TO

2:33:34UNDERSTAND IN TERMS OF ONE,

2:33:36MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS

2:33:37AWARENESS OF THE ELIGIBILITY

2:33:38FOR THE DISCOUNT PROGRAM. I

2:33:41KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF FOLKS WHO

2:33:43DON'T KNOW THAT THEY COULD GET

2:33:44THAT. AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE

2:33:48IS THERE'S STREAMLINING OF THE

2:33:50ONLINE APPLICATION. WE'VE

2:33:51GOTTEN FEEDBACK ON THAT BEING A

2:33:53FAIRLY ARDUOUS PROCESS TO MY

2:33:56OFFICE. SO ALSO, JUST ONE OTHER

2:33:59THING. IS THIS IN FACT, GOING

2:34:01TO BE THE HIGHEST RATE FOR

2:34:03EVENT PARKING ANYWHERE IN THE

2:34:04CITY? BECAUSE THAT'S I'VE

2:34:05GOTTEN THAT EMAIL, BUT I DON'T

2:34:07KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE.

2:34:08>> RIGHT NOW IN THE NORTH

2:34:11NORTHWEST PARKING DISTRICT

2:34:13AROUND PROVIDENCE PARK, I, I

2:34:16THINK THAT RATE RIGHT NOW IS $7

2:34:18AN HOUR.

2:34:19>> OKAY. SO THIS, THIS WOULD

2:34:20PASS THAT. OKAY. SO THEN, YOU

2:34:22KNOW, I, I WOULD REQUEST THAT,

2:34:23YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE TALKING

2:34:24ABOUT FARMERS MARKETS AND

2:34:25NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

2:34:26MEETINGS AND ALL THAT, JUST

2:34:27JUST BEING VISIBLE TO KIND OF

2:34:29LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT'S CHANGING.

2:34:30I THINK THE FIRST TIME THEY

2:34:32SHOULD LEARN ABOUT IT WOULD

2:34:34IDEALLY NOT BE THE TICKET THAT

2:34:35THEY GET RIGHT, WHICH IT

2:34:37HAPPENS EVERYWHERE. IT'S NOT

2:34:39SPECIFIC TO THIS PART OF THE

2:34:39CITY OR EVEN THE CITY, BUT I

2:34:41JUST WANTED TO TO FLAG THAT I

2:34:44WILL MOVE TO REFER IT WITH A

2:34:47DUE PASS RECOMMENDATION.

2:34:49>> OH, THE AMENDMENT.

2:34:49>> NO, THE ORDINANCE.

2:34:50>> THE ORDINANCE. OH THANK YOU.

2:34:52THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND

2:34:54ACTUALLY, PROVIDENCE PARK IS

2:34:57$7.40. OKAY. SO MAYBE THIS IS

2:35:00INFLATION.

2:35:00>> I ALWAYS TAKE THE MAX. SO

2:35:01I'M. YEAH.

2:35:02>> RIGHT, RIGHT. GREAT. SO I

2:35:05HAVE A THE MOTION'S BEEN MOVED

2:35:08BY COUNCILOR KANAL. IS THERE A

2:35:10SECOND?

2:35:13>> SECOND.

2:35:13>> THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN

2:35:16SECONDED BY COUNCILOR SMITH. I

2:35:19AS FAR AS WE CAN HAVE SOME MORE

2:35:21DISCUSSION, BUT I WAS GOING TO

2:35:22ASK PBOT FOR THEIR OPINION

2:35:26ABOUT THE AMENDMENT THAT OUR

2:35:28WITNESS HAS OFFERED UP.

2:35:30>> SO THE AMENDMENT THAT THE

2:35:32WITNESS OFFERED IS VERY SIMILAR

2:35:35TO A. WHAT WE HOPE TO BRING TO

2:35:37YOU AT THE NORTH. NORTH WHEN WE

2:35:39ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THE NORTH

2:35:40NORTHEAST PARKING PLAN AND ITS

2:35:43COMPLETE FORM. WHETHER OR NOT

2:35:47YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THAT TODAY,

2:35:49WITHOUT THE PRESENTATION AND

2:35:50FULL DISCUSSION OF THE NORTH

2:35:51AND NORTHEAST PARKING PLAN, IS

2:35:54IS REALLY UP TO YOU AS AS THE

2:35:56COUNCIL.

2:35:56>> KRISTEN, WHEN DO YOU INTEND

2:35:58TO BRING THAT.

2:35:58>> IT'S READY TO BRING TO YOU.

2:36:00WE'RE IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE

2:36:02WE FINISHED IT. AND SO RALEIGH

2:36:04HAS ACTUALLY BEEN DOING A BIT

2:36:05MORE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT TO

2:36:07MAKE SURE STAKEHOLDERS WHO HAVE

2:36:08MOVED INTO THE AREA SINCE WE

2:36:10COMPLETED OUR OUTREACH ARE

2:36:12AWARE OF THE PLAN AND HOW IT

2:36:13WILL IMPACT THEM. SO WE WOULD,

2:36:16I THINK IN OUR PERFECT WORLD,

2:36:17WE WOULD FINISH THAT OUTREACH

2:36:18OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 8 WEEKS AND

2:36:21COME BACK TO YOU, I THINK

2:36:22PROBABLY IN JANUARY, GIVEN WHAT

2:36:24HOW WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CURRENT

2:36:27AGENDAS, BUT WE COULD BE READY

2:36:29TO COME BACK SOONER IF YOU'D

2:36:30LIKE.

2:36:31>> WELL I'M OPEN. SHOULD

2:36:32SOMEONE LIKE TO MOVE THAT

2:36:35AMENDMENT?

2:36:37>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT A

2:36:39BUNCH OF THE CONCERNS THAT

2:36:40COMMISSIONER KANAL IS BRINGING

2:36:42UP, WE RIGHT NOW HAVE LIKE AN

2:36:43AD HOC EMAIL LIST WHERE WE TALK

2:36:45ABOUT THESE THINGS. WE CREATE A

2:36:46COMMITTEE WOULD BE ACTUALLY

2:36:48QUITE HELPFUL TO ADDRESS ALL

2:36:49THOSE CONCERNS IN A MORE

2:36:50STRUCTURED WAY. SO IF THAT'S.

2:36:52>> LET'S STAY ON POINT HERE. SO

2:36:55I DON'T SEE ANYBODY OFFERING

2:36:58WHAT OH, I'M SORRY, IN THE

2:37:00QUEUE. I FORGOT THE QUEUE. HOW

2:37:02ABOUT COUNCILOR GREEN GETS AN

2:37:04OPPORTUNITY.

2:37:05>> THANK YOU. CHAIR CLARK I WAS

2:37:07GOING TO ASK COUNCILOR KANAL,

2:37:10WHO IS THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE

2:37:12COMMITTEE WHO LIVES IN THE

2:37:13DISTRICT, WHAT YOUR APPETITE IS

2:37:14FOR THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE. YOU

2:37:16THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE AT THIS

2:37:17TIME?

2:37:18>> YEAH, I, I.

2:37:21>> IT'S NOT ABOUT THE TIME.

2:37:22IT'S ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE

2:37:23VEHICLE. I JUST WANT TO BE

2:37:25CLEAR ABOUT THAT. I THINK THAT

2:37:26THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS IN

2:37:28THE PLAN. SO, YOU KNOW, LOOKING

2:37:29AT THERE'S THREE THINGS THAT

2:37:31WERE FLOATED IN HERE. YOU KNOW,

2:37:32ONE IS ON AUTHORIZATION TO

2:37:36IMPLEMENT THE THE PLAN, WHICH I

2:37:38THINK IS THE BROADER

2:37:39CONVERSATION THAT OUR STAFF WAS

2:37:40JUST TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF

2:37:42DOING THAT. THE SECOND THING IS

2:37:45APPOINTING A STAKEHOLDER

2:37:46COMMITTEE. THE THIRD THING I

2:37:48THINK IS, IS FAIR TO TALK ABOUT

2:37:50THE IDEA THAT WHETHER OR NOT

2:37:52COUNCIL NEEDS TO APPROVE ANY

2:37:54FURTHER METER OR PERMIT

2:37:56PROGRAMS, I THINK THAT'S

2:37:57ALREADY EFFECTIVELY IN PLACE IN

2:37:59TERMS OF WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE

2:38:01RATES, RIGHT? SO IF THERE IS A

2:38:03NEW PROGRAM, NO PROBLEM WITH

2:38:05THAT PIECE. BUT IN TERMS OF A

2:38:07COMMITTEE, OBVIOUSLY I HAVE

2:38:09EXPRESSED NOT BASED ON BEING IN

2:38:11DISTRICT TWO, BUT JUST MY

2:38:12EXPERIENCE WITH COMMITTEES OF

2:38:13WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE DO THAT

2:38:15RIGHT. AND THEN THE SECOND

2:38:17PIECE IS I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR

2:38:18THE FULL CONVERSATION. I THINK

2:38:20THERE'S THERE'S A LOT MORE IN

2:38:22THERE. IT IS A VERY LONG

2:38:23DOCUMENT. THAT'S FAIR.

2:38:24>> SO WE WILL RESCHEDULE. I

2:38:26DON'T KNOW, ACTING DIRECTOR

2:38:28JUST STEPPED UP, I THINK WANTS

2:38:29TO MAYBE MAKE A COMMENT.

2:38:31>> YES, I'M INTERIM DIRECTOR

2:38:33WENDY CULLY FOR PBOT, AND I

2:38:35JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WE

2:38:37WOULD BE GLAD TO BRING THIS

2:38:38BACK TO YOU AFTER REALLY

2:38:40FINISHES HER OUTREACH. THERE'S

2:38:43SOME IT'S BEEN A COMPLICATED

2:38:45PLAN, AND WE'VE PUT A LOT OF

2:38:47EFFORT INTO IT AND JUST WANT TO

2:38:48MAKE SURE THAT IT'S COMPLETE.

2:38:50SO WOULD APPRECIATE THE EXTRA

2:38:51TIME TO BRING.

2:38:52>> THIS BACK. THANK YOU.

2:38:53COUNCILOR KANAL. COUNCILOR. DO

2:38:54YOU HAVE ANY?

2:38:54>> YEAH, YEAH, I STILL HAVE

2:38:56SOME DISCUSSION HERE, SO. I

2:38:58HEARD I, I THINK WHAT I'M

2:39:01WORRIED ABOUT IS, AND I DON'T

2:39:02THINK THIS IS THE INTENT OF THE

2:39:04BUREAU, BUT YOU KNOW, EIGHT

2:39:06WEEKS BECOMES MAYBE TEN WEEKS.

2:39:08AND THEN I FEEL LIKE THERE'S

2:39:11BEEN A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT ON

2:39:12THIS PROBABLY HITHERTO TO DATE.

2:39:14AND I WONDER IF THERE'S JUST

2:39:17SOME APPETITE TO PUT SOME

2:39:19DECLARATIVE LANGUAGE THAT LIKE,

2:39:20THERE'S A TIME CERTAIN THIS

2:39:21COMES BACK MAYBE BEFORE THE END

2:39:22OF THE CALENDAR YEAR OR

2:39:23SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T

2:39:25KNOW IF WE CAN DO THAT ON THE

2:39:27FLY, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT

2:39:28CAN HAPPEN AFTER THIS COMMITTEE,

2:39:29BEFORE COUNCIL.

2:39:30>> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TIME

2:39:32ON OUR AGENDA.

2:39:33>> OKAY. WELL, I'LL TELL YOU

2:39:35WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. I AM

2:39:36GOING TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO

2:39:38BEFORE THIS GOES TO THE FULL

2:39:40BODY, TO PUT SOME SORT OF

2:39:41ASSURING LANGUAGE IN THAT WE'RE

2:39:42NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF LIKE, WE

2:39:44WANT TO MOVE FAST. WE REALLY DO.

2:39:46AND BUT I'M GOING TO RESPECT

2:39:47THAT. IT'S YOUR DISTRICT.

2:39:49COUNCILOR KANAL. SO MAYBE I'LL

2:39:50TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT OFFLINE

2:39:52BEFORE WE. BUT SO I'LL SUPPORT

2:39:53THIS GETTING OUT OF COMMITTEE.

2:39:55BUT THEN I THINK I WANT TO MAKE

2:39:57SURE THAT WE CAN MAYBE ADD

2:39:58SOMETHING BEFORE THE FULL

2:39:59COUNCIL.

2:40:00>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT.

2:40:02ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES, WE HAVE

2:40:04A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. IT'S

2:40:05BEEN MOVED BY COUNCILOR KANAL,

2:40:07SECONDED BY COUNCILOR SMITH. IF

2:40:08THERE'S NOT ANY MORE DISCUSSION.

2:40:10>> SECONDS.

2:40:11>> OKAY. WE'RE RUNNING BEHIND.

2:40:12JUST A MORNING.

2:40:13>> SO, YEAH, FIRST JUST ONE. I

2:40:16WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON LAZY DAYS

2:40:18AND THE SIGNAGE AND ALL THAT

2:40:19STUFF, AND I'D LOVE A BRIEFING

2:40:21WITH YOU ON THAT. SECONDLY,

2:40:23JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT,

2:40:24THAT WE'RE I AGREE WITH THE

2:40:26IDEA OF ENSURING THAT THERE'S A

2:40:27TIMELINE PURSUANT TO WHATEVER,

2:40:28YOU KNOW, LIMITATIONS WE HAVE

2:40:30ON THE SCHEDULE. I DO WANT TO

2:40:31HAVE THE BIG CONVERSATION. I

2:40:33THINK THERE ARE PROBABLY A LOT

2:40:34OF STAKEHOLDERS WHO WANT TO BE

2:40:35INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION

2:40:37WHEN WE GET TO THAT PLAN. AND I

2:40:38THINK BEFORE THE END OF THE

2:40:40YEAR IS, IS, IS A WOULD BE A

2:40:42GOAL FOR ME IF IT NEEDS TILL

2:40:44JANUARY. I, YOU KNOW, I

2:40:45UNDERSTAND, BUT IT IS ALSO

2:40:46COMPLICATED WITH OUR SCHEDULE

2:40:47SITUATION CHANGING. THANKS.

2:40:49>> THANK YOU. AND WE'LL TAKE A

2:40:50LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE. COUNCILOR

2:40:52GREEN I'LL TAKE IT. WE'LL TAKE

2:40:54ANOTHER LOOK. GREAT. THERE'S NO

2:41:43FROM THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF

2:41:46TRANSPORTATION AND APPROVE A

2:41:47MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR

2:41:49FUTURE PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS.

2:41:53>> THIS ORDINANCE ACCEPTS THE

2:41:55TRANSFER FROM AN ODOT OWNED

2:41:57PARCEL OF LAND TO THE CITY.

2:41:59IT'S LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE

2:42:01INTERSECTION OF SOUTHWEST NAITO

2:42:03PARKWAY AND SOUTH SHERMAN

2:42:05STREET. IT ALSO APPROVES AN MOU

2:42:07BETWEEN THE CITY AND ODOT FOR

2:42:09FUTURE PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS.

2:42:10SO WITH THAT, DAVID, YOU WANT

2:42:13TO TAKE OVER.

2:42:15>> THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING,

2:42:18COUNCILOR CHAIR CLARK AND

2:42:20COUNCILORS. MY NAME IS DAVID

2:42:22MCELDOWNEY. I AM PBOT, EXCUSE

2:42:24ME, REAL PROPERTY SERVICES

2:42:27DIVISION MANAGER. AND I'M

2:42:28JOINED BY KEVIN BALLOCK, WHO'S

2:42:30A SUPERVISOR IN THE PROPERTY

2:42:31MANAGEMENT SECTION. DO YOU WANT

2:42:35TO GET THE PRESENTATION UP ON

2:42:36THE SCREEN?

2:42:42>> IT'S NOT LETTING ME SHARE

2:42:44HERE.

2:42:46>> SO WHEN THE PRESENTATION

2:42:48GETS UP THERE, WE'LL HAVE A MAP.

2:42:50I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A

2:42:51LITTLE ADDITIONAL ORIENTATION

2:42:56HERE. DO WE HAVE IT?

2:43:06>> WE ALL HAVE IT HANDY.

2:43:08>> OKAY, GREAT. SO WHILE YOU

2:43:12CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT, AS

2:43:16COUNCILOR CLARK MENTIONED. YES,

2:43:18HERE WE GO. THE PROPERTY IS

2:43:20BOUNDED BY SOUTHWEST NATO. THE

2:43:25THE PICTURE THE LEFT HAND IS IS

2:43:28NORTH AND RIGHT HAND IS SOUTH.

2:43:31TOP OF THE PICTURE IS EAST. I

2:43:35405 IS JUST OFF TO THE RIGHT OF

2:43:38THE PHOTO. THERE. THE ORDINANCE

2:43:42THAT PBOT IS BRINGING TODAY

2:43:44INVOLVES THE MOU WITH ODOT THAT

2:43:47CONTEMPLATES THE TRANSFER OF

2:43:48LAND TO THE CITY, AS WELL AS

2:43:50FUTURE PROPERTY TRANSFERS. I

2:43:53BELIEVE THE COMMITTEE IS

2:43:54FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THESE

2:43:55PARCELS FROM A PREVIOUS TRADE

2:43:56THAT WE HAD WITH ODOT THAT

2:43:59RESULTED IN THE EXPANSION OF

2:44:00THE SAFE REST VILLAGE, WHICH

2:44:02YOU CAN SEE THERE AT THE BOTTOM

2:44:03OF THE SCREEN ON THE SOUTH SIDE

2:44:05OF NAITO PARKWAY. I'LL COVER

2:44:07SOME HISTORY REALLY QUICKLY

2:44:10HERE. KEVIN, I THINK I HAVE THE

2:44:12SLIDES OUT OF ORDER. IF YOU'LL

2:44:14GO TO SLIDE THREE, PLEASE, ONE

2:44:16MORE.

2:44:17>> THAT'S ON THERE.

2:44:18>> ONE MORE. ONE MORE. THERE WE

2:44:28GO. THANK YOU. OKAY. THE

2:44:30PARCELS WERE DISCUSSING TODAY

2:44:31WERE FORMALLY APPROVED WITH THE

2:44:33HARBOR FREEWAY, WHICH WAS

2:44:34REMOVED IN 1970. THE MAJORITY

2:44:37OF THE FORMER FREEWAY LAND WAS

2:44:39JOINTLY OWNED BY ODOT AND THE

2:44:41CITY. SO IN ORDER TO ASSEMBLE

2:44:44THE LAND NEEDED FOR THE SAFE

2:44:45REST VILLAGE, THE TWO AGENCIES

2:44:47TRADED PROPERTY RIGHTS IN 2021

2:44:49AND 2025. PRESENTLY, ODOT AND

2:44:53PBOT HAVE REACHED A TENTATIVE

2:44:54AGREEMENT IN WHICH THE STATE

2:44:56WILL TRANSFER TO THE CITY TWO

2:44:58PARCELS OF LAND ADJACENT TO THE

2:45:00INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. KEVIN, IF

2:45:01YOU GO BACK TO SLIDE TWO, THESE

2:45:04ARE THE TWO PARCELS THEY SIT IN

2:45:06BETWEEN THE INTERNATIONAL

2:45:07SCHOOL PROPERTY AND NATO

2:45:09PARKWAY. THE SLIDE. THE SLIDE

2:45:15SHOWS THE TWO PARCELS OF LAND

2:45:17THAT WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY

2:45:18TRANSFERRED TO THE CITY IF THE

2:45:20ORDINANCE IS PASSED. AND IF

2:45:22THEY LOOK FAMILIAR, THAT'S

2:45:24THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAD TRADED

2:45:25OUR 60% UNDIVIDED INTEREST TO

2:45:27THE STATE IN THE LAST TRADE TO

2:45:29SECURE THE REST OF THE LAND FOR

2:45:31THE SAFE REST VILLAGE. PBOT IS

2:45:34AN ANTICIPATE IS ANTICIPATING

2:45:35THAT IF THE ORDINANCE IS

2:45:37APPROVED, THE CITY WILL RESUME

2:45:38OUR PRIOR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

2:45:40INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL AS IT

2:45:41RELATES TO STEWARDSHIP OF THIS

2:45:43LAND. WHILE LONG TERM OPTIONS

2:45:45ARE EVALUATED. SLIDE FOUR

2:45:48PLEASE. OKAY. THIS IS FOR.

2:45:57THERE WE GO. THANK YOU.

2:45:58FOLLOWING THE INITIAL PROPERTY

2:46:00TRANSFER, THE HEART OF THE MOU

2:46:02ADDRESSES THE REMAINING LANDS

2:46:03WHICH YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN.

2:46:05NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE

2:46:07PROPERTY ON THE NORTH END IS

2:46:08OWNED 100% BY ODOT, WHILE THE

2:46:11OTHER PARCELS ARE JOINTLY OWNED

2:46:146040, WITH THE CITY HAVING 60%

2:46:16AND THE STATE HAVING 40%. THE

2:46:19MOU PROVIDES THE CITY WITH

2:46:21OPTIONS TO EITHER A COMPLETELY

2:46:24ACQUIRE ODOT'S PROPERTY

2:46:25INTERESTS THROUGH CASH PURCHASE,

2:46:28B TRADE THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OR

2:46:30TRADE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF

2:46:32EQUIVALENT VALUE WITH ODOT TO

2:46:34DECOUPLE JOINT OWNERSHIP. WHAT

2:46:35THAT MAY LOOK LIKE IS ODOT

2:46:37WOULD OWN SOME OF THE LAND WE

2:46:38WOULD OWN. YOU KNOW, ANOTHER

2:46:40PART OF THAT LAND OR C DECOUPLE

2:46:43JOINT OWNERSHIP THROUGH A

2:46:45COMBINATION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS

2:46:46AND CASH. ALL THREE OPTIONS

2:46:49WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO LAND

2:46:50BANK THESE PARCELS FOR FUTURE

2:46:52USE. THE PROPERTIES WOULD BE

2:46:54APPRAISED TO DETERMINE THE

2:46:56MARKET VALUE. SLIDE FIVE. PBOT

2:46:59IS REQUESTING THAT THE

2:47:00COMMITTEE MOVE FORWARD THE OR

2:47:02MOVE THE ORDINANCE FORWARD TO

2:47:03THE FULL COUNCIL, AND THAT THE

2:47:06COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THE CITY

2:47:08ADMINISTRATOR TO APPROVE AND

2:47:09ACCEPT THE TRANSFER DEED FROM

2:47:11ODOT FOR THE TWO PARCELS NEXT

2:47:12TO THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. WE

2:47:15ARE RECOMMENDING THAT COUNCIL

2:47:16AUTHORIZE PBOT TO PURSUE THE

2:47:18TERMS OF THE MOU AND IF THE

2:47:20PROPERTY TRADES ARE RECOMMENDED

2:47:23UNDER OPTIONS B OR C, RETURN TO

2:47:25COUNCIL AND SEEK AUTHORIZATION

2:47:26FOR SUCH TRANSITION ACTIONS.

2:47:29THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.

2:47:31WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

2:47:32QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

2:47:33>> THANK YOU DAVID. COUNCILOR

2:47:35SMITH, THANK YOU.

2:47:39>> THANK YOU FOR THE

2:47:40PRESENTATION. WHAT IS THE

2:47:46POTENTIAL FOR AFFORDABLE OR

2:47:48WORKFORCE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY?

2:47:50>> THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

2:47:52I DON'T KNOW IF THE REPORT EVER

2:47:54CAME OUT, BUT THERE WAS A DRAFT

2:47:57REPORT HERE A COUPLE OF YEARS

2:47:58AGO THAT EVALUATED CITY OWNED

2:48:02PROPERTIES. AND THESE

2:48:03PROPERTIES WERE, I DON'T KNOW,

2:48:06IN THE TOP 15 OR 20, WHATEVER

2:48:08IT WAS, FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING

2:48:11PROPERTIES, NOT THE TWO BY THE

2:48:12INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PER SE,

2:48:13BUT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU

2:48:15SAW IN THAT LAST SLIDE, THEY AS

2:48:21FAR AS THE COST, I CAN'T ANSWER

2:48:24THAT QUESTION FOR YOU. THAT

2:48:25WOULD BE A PORTLAND HOUSING

2:48:26BUREAU QUESTION, BUT I DO KNOW

2:48:28THAT THEY WERE HIGH ON THE ON

2:48:30THE LIST FOR CANDIDATES.

2:48:37>> COUNCILOR KANAL.

2:48:37>> THANKS, CHAIR. CLERK JUST A

2:48:39PROCESS QUESTION ON THIS FOR

2:48:40THE IN.

2:48:41>> THE MOU. THE TRANSFER MAKES

2:48:44PERFECT SENSE TO ME AND I

2:48:45APPRECIATE IT. AND I APPRECIATE

2:48:47YOU BEING HERE AND ALL THE WORK

2:48:48ON THE MOU. THERE'S PART FIVE,

2:48:51WHICH IS ON INABILITY TO

2:48:52PERFORM. AND IT'S WHAT HAPPENS

2:48:53IF WE CAN'T AGREE AND IT SAYS

2:48:56TRANSFERRING IT BACK. WHY WAS

2:48:57THE DEFAULT TRANSFERRING IT

2:48:58BACK AS OPPOSED TO JUST PAYING

2:49:00THE, THE APPRAISED VALUE?

2:49:03>> IF WE PAY THE APPRAISED

2:49:06VALUE, THEN THERE'S NO NEED.

2:49:07THERE IS NO DEFAULT. I MEAN,

2:49:09THAT IS AN OPTION THAT THAT

2:49:10WOULD FALL IN. ONE OF THE OTHER

2:49:12OPTIONS THAT I PRESENTED TO YOU.

2:49:14SO.

2:49:15>> SO MAYBE OUTSIDE OF THE

2:49:16SCOPE OF THIS, IT SOUNDS LIKE

2:49:18THE PREFERRED OPTION IS TRADING

2:49:19LAND THOUGH.

2:49:20>> WELL, I'VE HEARD INTEREST IN

2:49:22THE CITY ACQUIRING ALL OF THE

2:49:24LAND, ALL OF THE OWNERSHIP AND

2:49:26LAND BANKING THAT. YEAH. BUT

2:49:30THE OTHER OPTIONS ARE REALLY IF

2:49:32THE CITY IS UNABLE TO COME UP

2:49:34WITH THE FUNDS TO DO THAT, THEN

2:49:36THAT PROVIDES US OPTIONS TO,

2:49:38YOU KNOW, TRADE AWAY PORTIONS

2:49:40OF THAT LAND. AND THE REALITY

2:49:42OF IT IS IF WE DID THAT, YOU'D

2:49:44STILL HAVE ANOTHER BITE AT THE

2:49:46APPLE BECAUSE OF THE. AND I

2:49:47KNOW COUNCILOR CLARK'S VERY

2:49:49FAMILIAR WITH THE STATE'S RULES

2:49:52SURROUNDING SURPLUS PROPERTY,

2:49:55BUT WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER CRACK

2:49:57TO ACQUIRE THAT FROM THE STATE

2:49:58AT THAT POINT. BUT IT SHOULDN'T

2:50:01NEED TO TO GO THAT FAR. THIS IS

2:50:03JUST IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A

2:50:06AN OPTION IN A MOU OR ANY

2:50:08AGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO

2:50:10RESET THINGS. IF YOU CAN'T

2:50:12REACH AGREEMENT.

2:50:13>> THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH, I

2:50:14GUESS JUST I APPRECIATE THIS

2:50:15BECAUSE CLEAR CONTROL OF THESE

2:50:17SITES IS, IS A GOOD IT'S A CITY

2:50:19INTEREST, I THINK, TO OPEN THE

2:50:20DOOR TO FUTURE AFFORDABLE

2:50:21HOUSING OR SOCIAL HOUSING

2:50:23DEVELOPMENT. SO WE'D LOVE TO,

2:50:24TO DO THAT. AND I KNOW MANY OF

2:50:26US CARE ABOUT LAND BANKING A

2:50:27LOT. THANKS.

2:50:28>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR. KANAL.

2:50:29COUNCILOR GREEN. DO YOU HAVE A

2:50:31QUESTION OR COMMENT?

2:50:32>> NO, I'D JUST LIKE TO MOVE TO

2:50:33REFER THIS TO THE FULL COUNCIL

2:50:35WITH OUR DUE PASS

2:50:36RECOMMENDATION.

2:50:37>> SECOND.

2:50:37>> SECOND. TERRIFIC. IT'S BEEN

2:50:38MOVED AND SECONDED BY COUNCILOR

2:50:41GREENE AND COUNCILOR KANAL. I

2:50:43DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYBODY

2:50:44SIGNED UP TO TESTIFY ON THIS,

2:50:47DO WE?

2:50:48>> NO ONE SIGNED UP.

2:50:49>> GREAT. IF THERE'S NOT ANY

2:50:52FURTHER DISCUSSION, WILL THE

2:50:54CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL?

2:50:57>> GREEN. AYE, MORILLO SMITH.

2:51:46THE 27TH, AND WE'LL CONTINUE

2:51:47THE DISCUSSION OF AUTONOMOUS

2:51:48VEHICLES. WE WILL HAVE PROBABLY

2:51:51SOME MORE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS

2:51:52FROM PBOT. I'M THINKING WE'LL

2:51:55SEE. WHAT IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER

2:51:57TIME FOR OTHER THINGS THAT CAME

2:51:58UP TODAY. SO IF THERE'S NOT ANY

2:52:01OTHER DISCUSSION, I WILL

2:52:03ADJOURN THE MEETING OF THE

2:52:05PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE.
