Meeting Notice
The public hearing for City Council will be on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 3:00 pm. The November 16, 2010 meeting will include the approval of the amendments, the enactment and an effective date in one reading at the same City Council hearing date.


A message from Susan Wells, President, SWNA:
For some reason the Large Retail Development Standards (Big Box Code) has been moved to emergency status, which means meeting dates have been moved up. It appears as though things are on track to get the new code approved and in place very quickly. This all seems good but, we still need to be active, take part and make sure it happens. We need the Planning Commission and the City Council to both approve the new code. Usually when the City Council has a hearing and approves items they are then enacted a few weeks later and then the date for effectiveness (or start) is set after that. For some reason the hearing, enactment and an effective date are all to be done in one reading at one meeting.
If you can attend both or either of these meetings please make an appearance. We need folks to show support and we need folks to speak and suggest that this code be approved.
Moving the date of the City Council meeting does change the time from a 6:30 pm meeting to a 3:00 pm meeting. I know this is difficult for a lot of folks to make but let's see if we can get some good attendance and convince the Council to approve this code.
These will be the last meeting regarding this issue.

Another project begins
The 187th Avenue project is about to begin, with demolition of the north part of the Rockwood Community Office building leading off work that will build a new street connection from 187th and Stark to 188th and Burnside across the east end of former Fred Meyer site (the southern portion of the building used by Gresham Police will remain as is). When it’s complete, this new street will provide a much safer direct connection between the Rockwood MAX station and the neighborhood to the south of Stark, complete with a new signal at 187th and Stark, which should reduce much of the current conflict between vehicles and pedestrians on that stretch of Stark. Construction area map here.
Project Open House, Nov 17th 6PM
While much of the work will take place entirely on the former Fred Meyer site, there will be intermittent traffic impacts on Stark Street near 187th. Staff are working closely with nearby businesses and residents regarding project schedule and scheduled lane closures, etc. A Project Open House is scheduled for 6:00 pm on November 17 at the Rockwood Community Office.

A delightful 1874 Victorian farmhouse
Take a step back into history at the Zimmerman House, a Victorian era farmhouse, built in 1874 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This beautiful farmhouse is a perfect reflection of typical Columbia River dairy farm life in the late 1800s. The Zimmerman Heritage Farm is a unique cultural education and recreational resource that is being created for the benefit of the public on a 5.98-acre historic site in Gresham, Oregon.

Serving warm food, warm smiles

Happy Thanksgiving!
For most families, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on everything you’ve been given, and be grateful for all that you have.

This year may be tough for many of us. But no matter how bad things are looking for you this year, there’s always someone who has it worse. So this year, take the time to give thanks for all that’s good in your own life -- and to give to others who may not share the same good fortune this Thanksgiving.
Give from the heart
Help brighten the holiday for someone in need.

  • Donate time or money to a local charity or food pantry
  • Donate a Thanksgiving basket to a neighbor in need
  • Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter
  • Deliver Thanksgiving meals to housebound seniors

Volunteer this holiday, and share the season!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
