CITY COUNCIL — The city council is scheduled to meet Tuesday at city hall. The meeting will begin with a joint session with the planning commission at 5:30 p.m. to discuss urban growth boundary comprehensive plan policies.

Then, at about 6:30 p.m., the council will begin its meeting. The agenda includes action on a proposed ballot title and language for the November election and consideration of an agreement with Clackamas County to transfer a portion of Kenny Street.

LORA — The Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency approved a $40,000 contract with Trammell Crow Northwest Development Inc. during its July 10 meeting.

Trammell Crow will provide owner’s representation and project management services for the first phase of work on the North Anchor project, a planned mixed-use development including a new library on First Street downtown.

Although this amount wouldn’t typically require the board’s approval, Jane Blackstone, economic development manager, sought authorization because this initial contract could lead into future phases of the project.
