  • Recipient Declines Award Over Mayor's
    The Oregonian Portland City Council Likely to Restrict Use of Plastic Straws By Gordon Friedman November 10, 2018 The Portland City Council is scheduled to vote Wednesday on an ordinance that would make plastic straws and utensils available by request only citywide. Officials at Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability came up with the proposal after the City Council directed them to in June, citing environmental damage caused by single-used plastics. To do that the bureau conducted a survey and convened a focus group with restauranteurs, business owners, a medical facility, people with disabilities and environmental advocates. The group recommended against an outright ban to single-use plastics because some people with disabilities rely on them to drink. It settled instead on the by-request policy to be considered Wednesday. If adopted, the new rules would take effect July 1, 2019. Portland has a long history of limiting the use of polluting products. It has restricted use of Styrofoam containers since 1990 and added a plastic bag ban in 2011. The Portland Tribune City Council Considers Plastic Straw Ban on Wednesday November 11, 2018 Portland may need to 'stop sucking' if a proposal to limit use of plastic straws is passed. The worldwide environmental campaign to ban single-use plastic straws arrives at the Portland City Council on Wednesday. City leaders will consider a new ordinance placing restrictions on those straws, as well as condiments packaged in plastic. Portland, city commissioners are slated to vote on a proposal advance by Mayor Ted Wheeler that would make plastic straws available only upon request by customers.

  • Nick Fish Wins Re-Election to Portland City Council
    The Oregonian Portland Auditor Wins Uncontested Re-Election Bid By Gordon Friedman May 15, 2018 Mary Hull Caballero, Portland's elected auditor, won re-election in an uncontested race Tuesday. Hull Caballero, 56, said in a statement Tuesday that she aims to use her next four years in office to work toward a "better, more responsive city government for the people who pay for it and are served by it." Hull Caballero said she also looks to "once and for all address the city's budget-setting process," by which the councilors, whose bureaus are subject to Hull Caballero's audits, control the auditor's budget -- a position she called "untenable." "The budget is the last bit of business left undone from my fight for increased independence from the bureaus we audit and investigate," Hull Caballero said. An Albany native and Lewis & Clark College graduate, Hull Caballero worked for more than a decade as a journalist before becoming an auditor for the Oregon Department of Transportation and later the regional government, Metro. She was first elected as Portland auditor in 2014, also in an uncontested race. Nick Fish Wins Re-Election to Portland City Council By Gordon Friedman May 15, 2018 Commissioner Nick Fish won re-election to the Portland City Council on Tuesday, besting three candidates who sought his ouster. Partial ballot returns indicate Fish, an attorney and housing advocate from a family that includes several former members of Congress, easily beat advocacy group organizer Julie DeGraw, Portland Commissioner on Disability Philip Wolfe, who is deaf, and Nicholas Sutton, New Seasons Market clerk.

  • PORTLAND, OREGON Dan Ryan, Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, Commissioner Mingus Mapps, Commissioner
    CITY OF Ted Wheeler, Mayor Carmen Rubio, Commissioner PORTLAND, OREGON Dan Ryan, Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, Commissioner Mingus Mapps, Commissioner May 4, 2021 Representative Janelle Bynum, Chair House Judiciary Committee 900 Court Street NE, HR F Salem, OR 97301 Dear Chair Bynum and Members of the Committee, The City of Portland strongly supports SB 204-A which narrowly expands the definition of “criminal justice agency” in ORS 181A.010 for the purpose of accessing criminal justice information from Oregon’s Law Enforcement Data System (LEDS). Independent access to LEDS is essential for investigating allegations of officer misconduct and reviewing police policies and practices in a timely manner. Currently, civilian oversight agencies are not included in the list of authorized agencies in statute for the purpose of accessing the LEDS system. SB 204-A will add a specific definition of civilian oversight agencies to the statute for the purpose of investigating allegations of officer misconduct and reviewing police policies and practices. This is a necessary step to improve the timeliness and efficiency of investigations through an independent process that is fair to officers and complainants. The current process of requesting these records through the Portland Police Bureau is inefficient and not a good use of limited resources. Direct, independent access to LEDS for the City of Portland’s Independent Police Review (IPR) and its successor will result in more efficient investigations and improved public confidence in the oversight process. The City of Portland strongly urges your support for SB 204-A. Sincerely, Ted Wheeler Carmen Rubio Dan Ryan Mayor Commissioner Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty Mingus Mapps Commissioner Commissioner .

  • Reform Promises: Editorial Agenda 2017
    The Oregonian Proposal for neutered citizens' commission would betray police- reform promises: Editorial Agenda 2017 By The Oregonian Editorial Board August 5, 2017 Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is trying to sell the idea of a new citizens' commission as a positive step forward for rebuilding the community's frayed relationship with Portland Police. But neither the public nor the others on Portland City Council should buy it. Wheeler's proposal to replace the defunct Community Oversight Advisory Board with a neutered panel that regularly meets in private reneges on city leaders' promises five years ago to include the public in monitoring police reforms. Among its tasks, the commission, which would merely recommend ways to improve police and community relations, falling short of the expectations laid out in the 2012 settlement between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice. That agreement calls for a citizens board to "independently assess" the police bureau's implementation of police reforms in addition to filling a broad array of other roles. As community members made clear in heated testimony on Thursday, the proposed "Portland Commission for Community-Engaged Policing" doesn't come close, The Oregonian/OregonLive's Maxine Bernstein reported. The fact that it would meet privately with only occasional public meetings simply adds to the message of "thanks, but no thanks, for your input." Unfortunately, it's unclear how persuasive the public's comments are to Wheeler and the other city commissioners - three of whom were in office at the time of the 2012 settlement, which resolves Justice Department allegations that Portland Police used excessive force against those with mental illness.

  • Mayor Ted Wheeler Commissioner Amanda Fritz Commissioner Dan Ryan Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty Commissioner Chloe Eudaly
    Mayor Ted Wheeler Commissioner Amanda Fritz Commissioner Dan Ryan Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty Commissioner Chloe Eudaly October, 2020 Dear esteemed members of the Portland City Council, We, the neighbors undersigned below, demand significant change in the structure and operations of the Portland Police Bureau (PPB). The Bureau’s iterations over the years have consistently evidenced an unrelenting preference to defend and serve itself and its own interests rather than those of Portland’s citizen communities. The current Bureau has used the following tactics in demonstration of this proclivity: ● The Bureau has used tear gas and other chemical weapons — ones that would be illegal during times of war — on peaceful Portland citizens protesting racial injustice. Beyond the immediate harmful effect of these chemicals, they have been shown to have adverse, long-term health impacts on all life forms, human, animal, vegetable. In addition, some peaceful protestors have had to seek hospital medical services as a result of Bureau actions. ● The Bureau has supportively aided incursions by various violent groups instead of defending our city from their invasion. The Bureau has provided escort into and out of Portland for white supremacist vigilante caravans brandishing guns, pepper spray, paint balls, and mace, while simultaneously allowing Portland citizens to be threatened and assaulted. ● The Bureau has failed to respond to incidents in a timely fashion. In one Concordia incident, a family was forced to wait 18 hours before a response was made after their home having been riddled with bullets. Despite the time passed since then, the Bureau has neither proved nor disproved whether the shooters were white militants.
