The West Linn City Council tackled a wide variety of issues during its May 5 work session at city hall. The evening’s agenda included an update on the Stafford Hamlet, a discussion on water resource areas, as well as talk about revising the city’s annexation policy.
Stafford Hamlet update
Two representatives from the Stafford Hamlet paid a visit to the city council – Rick Cook and Thane Eddington. They told councilors the hamlet board is still working on planning the hamlet’s future and wishes to keep communications open with surrounding communities.
From parking lots to the police station to chickens, the city council worked through a lot of code, processes and procedures during a special meeting and work session April 21.
Code enforcement
First on the agenda was the approval of an ordinance that modifies the variety of appeals processes in the city and makes them uniform.
The council already discussed this topic twice, most recently at an April 7 work session. The result of the ordinance amends numerous sections of code that refer to the appeals process and changes the word “infraction” to “violation.”
The city council heard lots of ideas from a range of sources — from kids to professionals — during its regular meeting April 14. The agenda included several presentations as well as a vote on a medical marijuana dispensary moratorium.
