MARY HULL CABALLERO Auditor of the City of Portland By Karla Moore-Love Clerk of the Council For a discussion of agenda items, please consult the following Closed Caption File. 5of 89 November 30 – December 1, 2016 Closed Caption File of Portland City Council Meeting This file was produced through the closed captioning process for the televised City Council broadcast and should not be considered a verbatim transcript. Key: ***** means unidentified speaker. NOVEMBER 30, 2016 9:30am Saltzman: Good morning everybody welcome to the Portland city council on November 30th will come to order. Karla, could you please call the roll? Novick: Here Fritz: Here Fish: Here Hales: Saltzman: Here Saltzman: before we begin I will read a brief message. The purpose of council meetings is the orderly consideration of the public's business. Preservation of order and decorum is necessary for due consideration of matters before council. The public is welcome to attend the council meetings, and during the meetings there will be a time limited opportunity for public comment on various agenda items. So when you do testify, if you do, please state your name for the record. We do not need your address. If you are a lobbyist, please disclose that information at the start of your testimony. If you are here representing an organization, I ask that you please disclose that, as well. Please testify only to the matter at hand. Oregon law allows the public the opportunity to attend council meetings. The council rules, direct the presiding officer to preserve order at these proceedings, and allow the public the opportunity to offer specifically addressing the council currently pending matters. Conduct that disrupts the meetings, for example, shouting during other people's presentations or interrupting testimony or council deliberations will not be allowed. Please show your support or displeasure with your hands, ie, thumbs up or down. And this is a warning that anyone that disrupts this proceeding may be escorted from council chambers and excluded from city hall. Lastly if needed, council will take a half-hour break at either 12:00 or 12:30, depending on the council schedule. I will announce that when we -- I will announce when the meeting will reconvene before we take the break. So with that let's move to our communications, item 1316. If you could read please that, Karla? Item 1316. Saltzman: Are you miss gates? Kim Gates: I am. They are here for support. I don't do this very often. Saltzman: Ok. Just give us your name and you have three minutes. There is a clock in front of you. Gates: Thank you for hearing me today. My name is Kim gates. I just celebrated 21 years with the Portland police bureau in July, I am also the treasurer to local 189, afscme. I am here to discuss page and pay equity. I am not talking about equal pay. I make as much as any man does in my classification. I am talking about pay equity, the value placed on the work which has been performed by women. I don't think that there's been a single year of my 21-year career when I have not heard the command staff at the Portland police bureau say that they could not operate without us and the work that we perform, but what kind of value does that translate to? When I began in 1995, my starting wage, not the top scale, was 249% of minimum wage.

  • Trees in the City: Valuing Street Trees in Portland, Oregon
    Trees in the city: Valuing street trees in Portland, Oregon Geoffrey H. Donovana,*, David T. Butryb ABSTRACT We use a hedonic price model to simultaneously estimate the effects of street trees on the sales price and the time-on-market (TOM) of houses in Portland. Oregon. On average. street trees add $8870 to sales price and reduce TOM by 1.7 days. In addition. we found that the benefits of street trees spill over to neighboring houses. Because the provision and maintenance of street trees in Portland is the responsibility of adjacent property owners, our results suggest that if the provision of street trees is left solely to homeowners, then there will be too few street trees from a societal perspective.

We have had a system of media that's organized around the profit motive. The Radio Act of '21 was brought up by Rob Rosenthal.

Talke, Chair David A. Jay Joseph Jurisa Heejun Chang Portland State University 2019 Abstract The Portland area has an extensive flood history since it was founded in 1845. In the late 19th century, the Portland area was prone to flooding from snowmelt freshets (3-6 months duration) and brief winter rain or rain-on-snow events. Since that time the magnitude of spring freshets has been curtailed by 45% due to climate change, flow diversions, and reservoir management. Along with changes in hydrology, the bathymetry of the Lower Columbia River has been altered by the dredging of the navigation channel, diking, and land reclamation.

  • Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Douglas Collins Program authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Northwest Impressionist artists are among the forgotten figures in American art history. Responsible for bringing Modernism to Washington and Oregon, they dominated the art communities in Seattle and Portland from about 1910 to 1928, remaining influential until the mid 1930’s. After describing the artists briefly, this dissertation summarizes and evaluates the slim historiography of Northwest Impressionism. Impressionism and Tonalism are contrasted in order to situate these artists within the broad currents of American art history. Six important artists who have not been studied in the past are each accorded a chapter that summarizes their educations, careers, and artistic developments. In Seattle, Paul Gustin, the early leader of the Seattle art community, was most closely associated with images of Mount Rainier. Edgar Forkner, a well established Indiana artist, moved to Seattle and painted numerous canvases of old boats at rest and still lifes of flowers. Dorothy Dolph Jensen, a latecomer, emphasized shoreline and harbor scenes in her work. In Portland, Charles McKim traded complete anonymity in Portland, Maine for the leadership of the Oregon art community, creating a variety of landscapes and seascapes. Clyde Keller produced an enormous output of landscapes over a long career that extended to California as well as Oregon.
