PRESENTATION – NORTH CLACKAMAS SCHOOL DISTRICT’S LOCAL OPTION LEVY Superintendent Matt Utterback reported that the North Clackamas School District (NCSD) serves 17,000 students made up of 32 schools, and was the seventh largest district in Oregon. The state of Oregon wasn’t providing adequate funding to NCSD to maintain its daily operations. It’s anticipated that by 2019-2020, NCSD would have a shortfall of $17 million. Currently, NCSD has implemented cost saving measures, which have resulted in cutting school days, delayed purchasing student equipment and curriculum, fewer full time counselors, reduced staff professional development time, and reduced staff salaries. If the levy is voter-approved, the funds would prevent cutting teaching positions, retain class sizes, and prevent canceling school days. If approved, it would cost up to $1.63 per $1,000 of 2 assessed property value, or roughly $30 a month for five years for a home with a property value of $221,800. Mitzi Bauer, NSCD board member, encouraged the audience to vote for the levy if they were voters living in the NSCD. People could help with canvasing neighborhoods or by donating funds. Handouts were provided to the Board and to staff. This information could also be found on NCSD’s website: http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/. VII. PRESENTATION – FIRE PREVENTION MONTH Deputy Fire Marshal (DFM) Captain Kari Shanklin shared about the fall community events, which began with the Hilltop Health and Safety Fair that took place on September 15. This year, the Fire District partnered with NW Natural Gas and combined their “Get Ready” event with the safety fair. NW Natural Gas provided hot dogs and chips for attendees. Fire Prevention Month is next month and theme established by the National Fire Protection Association is “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere.” Open houses were scheduled for every Saturday in October at a fire station. The Fire District distributed 11,000 flyers to the North Clackamas and Oregon City School Districts regarding the theme’s safety tips and the fire station open houses schedule. In addition, the flyer was placed as an ad through Pamplin Media, which was featured in the Clackamas Review/Oregon City News. The Public Information Office will be placing consistent and targeted safety messages on all of the Fire District’s social media platforms for the month as well. VIII.
