To: City Manager, City Council	
At the January WNA meeting there were motions passed that will require additional communication with our City for continuity and follow through. Please review our most recent items:
•	Motion:  WNA approves the proposed capital improvements to the school and outdoor learning garden center.  Motion Passed; unanimously. This motion refers to the presentation given by the WLWSD staff on the proposed capital improvements for Willamette elementary school.

•	Motion: WNA urges the West Linn City Council to support the efforts of the RNA- GNC- in addressing the mitigation proposals presented to the LOTWP- Lake Oswego Tigard Water Partnership.  Motion Passed; unanimously.  
*This motion refers to the list of items that the RNA-GNC developed with the consultant paid for by the City. We listen to the list as presented by Kevin Bryck and based on this representation of the facts; we encourage the support of the Council and the City to facilitate the best possible outcome for our residents by endorsing these mitigations.

•	Motion: Elizabeth Smolens to write a letter of support for Willamette Falls Heritage Coalition.  Motion Passed; unanimously.

•	Motion: The WNA represented by Elizabeth Rocchia will address the proliferation of advertising, real estate, and newspaper containers. They are cluttering sidewalks and storefronts. There are clusters of them on every block between 12th and 15th. They are not aesthetically pleasing and detract from the historic appeal of the main street business district. Motion Passed; unanimously.

The WNA request the City Manager and City Council to review these motions and provide further background information and/or feedback on the process for implementation and action at our upcoming meeting meetings.
