Second Reading of Ordinance No. 15-1005, An Ordinance Amending the Oregon City Municipal Code to Include Chapter 13.36-Community Safety Advancement Fee
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the second reading of Ordinance No. 15-1005.
BACKGROUND:
The first reading of Ordinance No. 15-1005, Chapter 13.36-Community Safety Advancement Fee, was approved by the Commission on May 6th, 2015. The Oregon City Police Department building was built in the 1960s. The building does not meet Oregon seismic standards and is too small to accommodate current policing demands. The Oregon City Police Department researched funding options for a community safety building; the Community Safety Advancement Fee was proposed. The proposed fee will be imposed on all residences, business owners, and government entities starting January 1st, 2016.
