The Oregonian With re-election bid gone, what can Charlie Hales accomplish? By Andrew Theen October 28, 2015 Charlie Hales is a free agent. Instead of running for re-election, Hales said Monday that he's ready to tackle affordable housing, homelessness, gang violence and the city's blueprint for the next 20 years of growth. He didn't provide many details Monday, and he and his spokesman declined to provide more information Tuesday. But current and former City Hall staffers agreed that Hales now has more room to get things done, and can look to his last two predecessors, Sam Adams and Tom Potter, for models of successes and failures. "You can really break through some of the walls that people put up because people say, 'It's just politics as usual,'" said Austin Raglione, Potter's former chief of staff. Susan Anderson, director of the Bureau of Planning & Sustainability who's been in city government for two decades, said Hales still has credibility and can now be bolder. "You can take some chances," she said. Commissioner Nick Fish said Hales could look to Adams, who followed his July 2011 decision to not run with a "burst of productive energy." In his last year in office, Adams proposed a budget that included a more than $7 million bailout for Portland public schools. He also conceived of the Arts Tax, expelled Occupy Portland demonstrators from downtown parks, and created a new urban renewal district, though Hales disbanded it. On the other hand, Adams wasn't able to push through a renovation of Veterans Memorial Coliseum, though, or a plan to build a $62 million Sustainability Center. -

The Oregonian Extra spending means Portland faces $4 million budget gap, early forecast says By Jessica Floum December 16, 2016 A series of investments in police pay and housing could force Portland to cut programs for the first time in three years, according to a budget forecast released Friday by the city's budget office. Even with record revenue overall, the forecast said, the city must cut $4 million from ongoing expenses, or raise more money, to balance its budget over the next five years. The budget office said city commissioners have approved $12.3 million in new spending for next year without finding "other reductions" to offset the outlay. Assuming the forecast holds steady, that means the city would have only $486 million to pay for $490 million in expenses. "Absent other policy decisions, we estimate the city would have had $8.3 million in additional ongoing resources" for the fiscal year that starts July 1, the forecast said. More than half of the spending comes from a new contract with the Portland Police Association, the city's rank-and-file police union. It's expected to increase ongoing spending by $6.6 million once fully in place. The council signed the deal in part to raise police salaries in hopes of retaining and recruiting cops. The council also set aside millions of dollars for homelessness and housing programs. The housing bureau will contribute an additional $3.5 million for homelessness work in conjunction with Multnomah County. And a proposed tax exemption for affordable housing, also called inclusionary housing, is expected to cost $1 million in property tax revenues over five years -- a number that could grow. -

The Oregonian Portland City Council votes to fight transparency: Editorial Agenda 2016 By The Oregonian Editorial Board January 14, 2016 The Portland City Council articulated an interesting position on transparency Wednesday: There is, in fact, no public document too old to release to the public without a fight. Thank your lucky stars that these people don't write Oregon's public records laws. Council voted 4-1 to support a resolution requested by the city attorney's office and plopped on the agenda at the eleventh hour. The single dissenter was Commissioner Steve Novick, who said, in effect, City Council might not like the transparency with which it must function, but the law's the law. The Council's transparency crisis began with a September 2015 request for three legal opinions and a memorandum written by the city attorney to Portland's mayor and colleagues. The three opinions were penned in the 1980s, and the memorandum was written in 1990. In other words, a looooong time ago. Mark Bartlett, who requested the legal advice and the memo, read about the documents in a 2002 email in which a city Water Bureau employee discussed mixed public ownership on Mt. Tabor. Both the Water Bureau, supported by ratepayer funds, and the Parks Bureau, supported by property tax revenue, own property there, Brad Schmidt of The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The 2002 email, citing the legal advice Bartlett has requested, cautioned that "Parks cannot use a Water Fund property for any purpose, and neither can Water Funds be used in support of a Park purpose, without 'market value' compensation to the Water Fund in some form." The use – and potential misuse - of utility funds is a sore spot for city leaders, who surely don't relish the prospect of being poked there yet again. -

The Oregonian Portland mayor sets expectations for Inauguration Day marches: No blocking of freeways, MAX trains By Maxine Bernstein January 18, 2017 Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said he will rely on the police chief and his leadership for how best to respond to the anticipated mass of demonstrators expected to fill city streets before, on and after Inauguration Day, but he said the city won't tolerate violence and vandalism. In stark contrast to his predecessor, Wheeler also made it clear that police won't allow marchers to gain access to freeways; will work to keep the regional mass transit, particularly MAX trains, from being blocked; and won't allow a limited number of people to cause damage to the city "under the cover'' of otherwise peaceful protests. "I want to make it clear that will not be something that we will tolerate as a community,'' the mayor said, standing with Chief Mike Marshman in the City Hall atrium Wednesday afternoon. The mayor said he doesn't want the city to be defined by the violent footage that marred Election Night and post-Election Night protests in November and was "broadcast all around the planet,'' showing people smashing out car windshields or storefronts with bats, or setting newspaper stands or trash bins on fire. "That's not who we are,'' the mayor said, raising both hands to punctuate his message. "We are an active and engaged and connected community ... We're not going to let people intent on violence or vandalism to define who we are.'' Yet the mayor also urged the community to have reasonable expectations, noting the difficult task that law enforcement faces trying to balance the First Amendment rights of protesters yet avoid damage to property and ensure the public's safety. -

The Oregonian Joint Terrorism Task Force: Annual report offers rare opportunity for Portland City Council to ponder involvement By Brad Schmidt Portland police involvement in the FBI’s anti-terrorism task force is under renewed scrutiny. Three years after the Portland City Council authorized limited participation in the Joint Terrorism Task Force, concerns remain about oversight by elected officials and the lack of specificity provided publicly by the Police Bureau. On Wednesday, the City Council reviewed the third annual report about police involvement and heard critical testimony from Portland Copwatch and the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. With Police Chief Mike Reese out of the office and several questions from Commissioner Amanda Fritz left unanswered, Mayor Charlie Hales delayed a formal vote on the report until April 2. The annual presentation offers the only public conversation about the City Council’s stance on keeping police involved with the controversial task force. It marks the first development since summer for not following through with regular meetings, as called for under the task force agreement. But the fervor has certainly waned since 2011, when the City Council unanimously supported "as needed" police involvement in the wake of the attempted Pioneer Courthouse Square bombing by Mohamed Monamud. Only a handful of people testified Wednesday. Hales, who opposed involvement as a city commissioner more than a decade ago, said he’s comfortable with the arrangement for now. Hales said the FBI denied his request for “secret” clearance because he’s on a need-to-know basis, “And I don’t need to know.” But Hales assured the ACLU and others that he will seek clearance again, after a new special agent takes over Oregon operations. -
