In the last newsletter it was announced that the China Council needed to find a new home, and mentioned that we were "considering a few downtown options as well as places in Chinatown." In the end, we didn't move to any of the places considered, because another option arose at the last minute, when the Oregon Economic Development Department (OEDD) suggested that we move into some vacant space in their office suite at the World Trade Center. This turned out to be a very enticing offer: aside from having the luxury of working in a first The Council's former home at Mill Street z class accomodation, the space was offered at a very reasonable monthly rate.

  • District Background
    DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south.

This summative evaluation judges the degree to which EDP has met its goals and served its clients, and provides recommendations for program improvement. The evaluator observed each center over a 6-month period; distributed a questionnaire to EDP staff and public school staff to discover their opinions of the program; interviewed parents, principals, and staff; evaluated an orientation workshop; and videotaped selected program activities. Phase I of the report, February-May 1972, concluded that EDP did not meet its major objectives. Much of the failure lay with inadequate program planning and administrative weaknesses. The program continued, but time limits were suggested within which positive changes should occur. In Phase II, the summer EDP program was evaluated and also found inadequate. Recommendations were made regarding facilities, analysis of programming, and use of existing community resources.
