Name Shirin Doratotaj Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* I bring this up every year but it doesn't get addressed,and unfortunately the problem has only worsened with time. Please put a ban on leaf blowers.They are used all year round, of course worst in times of good weather when all of us would like to enjoy open windows and being outdoors. It is so unnecessary and highly polluting, both to the air quality and to our ears. Many cities have done this, even Portland! Lake Oswego is behind the ball.

Name Patricia Hudson Neighborhood Evergreen What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* More signage,striping,and lighting, as well as blinking lights,for pedestrian crosswalks. I have reached out previously concerning 1st Street near Peets Coffee,about marking the pedestrian crosswalk area along with additional lighting. i was told by a City employee(possibly Bill Youngblood?)that striping could be done, but have yet to see it. (This was two years ago or longer.) Pedestrians do not use the crosswalk area but if marked clearly,they might.Another area that needs improvement is the crosswalk near the Stafford Road round-a- bout. It was foggy and slightly dark when a pedestrian entered the crosswalk and was nearly hit by a car. No flashing light with a pedestrian sign, plus the shrubs in the median are a few feet tall,obscuring the view of the pedestrian. Please do an audit of all pedestrian crosswalks and make improvements to prevent accidents. I have lived here for 42 years and the population has doubled since that time. Let's keep our growing population safe! Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

Name Neighborhood Rosewood What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Same as my(unregarded) requests for goals every year: regulate the landscaping industry within LO.They behave without regard to residents and the environment. Gas leaf blowers are the loudest and most polluting offender. It's awful every day of the year(some reprieve on Sundays)and their unmitigated use has turned Lake Oswego into a hellscape.The city should rename to Lake Osweblow, since apparently gas leaf blowers are beyond reproach. Hoping Lake Oswego bans these devices, as the benefit is NOT worth the cost to society. If any council members can't see(hear)this, perhaps they need to get out into the community once in a while. I'm offended that this city leadership can't seem to prioritize children and residents over the need to blow everything to dust year round without even accomplishing anything. Please DO SOMETHING Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

Please DO NOT move the library from the 4th street location.This is not supported by the community. 2. Please work to create a bike pathway on the existing trolley line,which would be used much more and present a green transportation option into downtown Portland. 3.

Maybe provide batteries and or charging stations at city hall to help with transition? Have electric blowers for sale at discount? Consider making Lake Oswego a low-light pollution city. Encourage or phase in requirements for landscape lights to be motion activated systems?Our city and neighborhoods are over-lit. Tucson could be a model. Thank you for all that you do!

Name Deborah Downs Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Changing parking regulations in First Addition. I have a one car garage at my home at 596 4th St and no parking pad.My neighbor has 5 vehicles and a work truck and uses the area in front of my house to park and store vehicles. My guests and service people can never park in front of my home.This seems"out of step"for the area I live in and the price of my home.

Name George Lippincott Neighborhood Palisades What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* There are certain sections in the middle of Boones Ferry road which capture water runoff.These areas have rusty metal edging and they are landscaped in a way that makes them look like weeds. I don't know that they actually have weeds in them,just that the plantings look like this. I think there is much opportunity for improvement to the image of this road. For example, maybe these catch basins could be covered and then topped with planters which have more decorative landscaping.This would maintain the water runoff and look nicer. The second issue is that I would like the library to be open in the evenings. It used to be open until 9:00 and I would go after dinner. I think all the other cities around us have libraries staying open until 8:00 on at least some nights of the week but ours is never open past 7:00.

I would like to see a bike lane on state street or at least a sign that says"Share the road" A lot of folks ride along state street.

Name JIM KRONENBERG Neighborhood South Shore What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* The tree ordinance needs to be radically changed or we will end up being the city of stumps. I've watched horror as the developers razed relatively new and well-kept homes plus at least 30 mature fir and cedar be razed. It is curious that your ordinance almost seems to encourage them to cut them down. If you continue to let them wreck havoc on our overstore,you should keep it the way it is, let them haul them away and sell them to a lumber mill at a profit.

Name Neighborhood What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* 1.)seperated from road sidewalks and seperated from road bikeways, using a new task force to identify a new priority list of key connectors that would allow all areas of LO to safely access each other.The shoulder improvements from 90's did not move the needle much and the old$99m list was not properly edited with a view to streamline key connection routes to optimize extended travel from Downtown to Lake Grove to around the lake.A loop around the whole lake that is truly safe/iron mountain to downtown and Lakegrove would be a regional draw for recreators who would spend on local business. 2.)A more realistic look at managing dangerous trees and dead branches that the city owns that are dangerous to others,guided by physics and risk, not just arborist estimations. 3.)A parks policy that encourages people to get out into their parks and honor their right to be there, especially kids. So many natural areas without access or pedestrian connections 4.) recognize the learnings from lake grove school misteps internally,take accountability. Recognize the valuable stakeholder ship that parents and young children hold in this community.We/they are the future of this city and making it great for them now ensures LO will continue to be a desirable place for the next gen and years from now.

Name JIM KRONENBERG Neighborhood South Shore What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Your odd for sent my message before I was done. Please add the following about your tree code to my original message: If you MADE THEM cut down the mature evergreens, haul them away and MADE THEM send the payment they receive for the use of the city then I guarantee the number of trees they seem to have to cut down would decrease radically. I grew up in a logging family. Cutting down 150 year-old Douglas fir and hauling them to a lumber mill was very expensive 70 years ago. It is much expensive to harvest trees and transport them to mills now than it was then. It is also much more profitable.These trees are an asset to the city and its citizens.Why should developers profit from this asset?

Name Stephanie Cummins Neighborhood Palisades What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* I would like City Council to have a plan for dealing with the growing traffic impact on Stafford Road from the LORAC, Rassekh Park,and potential housing development next to The Stafford.The roundabout at Rosemont is already failing,and LOPR is trying to improve access to Luscher Farm. Clackamas County may not approve new access if there is no plan for improving the roundabout.The situation is just going to get worse when work starts on the roundabout at Childs Road. If the City considered traffic in approving these projects along Stafford,the consideration was not adequate and users of Stafford Road are suffering the consequences.

Name Monica Delzeit Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* The temperate rain forest(where we have chosen to live)is one of the best carbon sinks on the planet.A free action we can take is leaving our trees alone,especially the mature trees.There is reproducible evidence that Douglas fir trees don't get to their highest rate of carbon sequestration until age 100-120 years old.You've got your urban forest report. Please consider changing our code to include moving the type 2 tree removal application into the preapp where development is being considered; in future when LIDAR is being used only consider above 30 feet comparisons(below that is shrubs not trees); reformulate the mitigation tree list to remove weed species/allow only native big trees to mitigate for removal of a native big tree/let certified arborists decide what are appropriate species for our eco zone given the climate crisis; disallow clear cutting lots for zero lot line development; mandate more trees in the highest density housing (our poorest neighbors are disproportionately affected by heat island effect); and rewrite the tree removal code with some legal teeth. The code is so vague that a law student could argue that their is no legal protection for any tree in the city. The climate crisis is our number one public health concern.We don't fix it, nothing else matters, because we'll be extinct. Please protect our trees for your children and grandchildren.

Name Dara Linkfield Neighborhood Lake Forest What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Hello Council Members; A few items of importance are; Continued housing for lower/middle class while keeping the Lake Oswego green tree canopy. Climate change is making for warmer temperatures and the big firs and lovely old oaks provide needed cooling at zero cost to humans. I worry that we are cutting down big trees,thinking we can replace with new growth, not taking into account how long it takes for trees to grow. Other countries(Japan, Singapore, Korea) have made big strides in working really hard to keep the native tree canopy in suburban areas, along with new builds. I do not believe that we need to choose between development or trees/nature-there can be plans to include both and this city can choose to be a leader in development of mutual environmental and human growth. Along the note of supporting nature; please consider the potential for Lake Oswego to become part of the Dark Sky movement.There are a few areas in Oregon (Antelope, Black Butte)that have moved their cities to be'dark sky'cities.There are many environmental, health and economic benefits to having a dark sky. I encourage the council to strongly consider working towards becoming a dark sky city. Thank you for your time. Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

Now that the lake is public, I'd love to see walking trails and amenities that make it easier for pedestrians to access local businesses and enjoy the area. 2) Improving the Image and Perception of Lake Oswego Lake Oswego is often perceived as an overly affluent, privileged, and exclusive community within the greater Portland area.While there's work to be done in terms of diversity, I'd love to see efforts focused on marketing the incredible community we truly have to offer. Our city is home to working-class families and residents from diverse backgrounds who contribute to its vibrancy, culture,and charm. It's a beautiful place, but the outdated perception, rooted in stereotypes from the 1980s, doesn't reflect the reality of our current community. Let's highlight the progress and inclusivity that make Lake Oswego a great place to live. Come on,we have a progressive mayor! Let's use this opportunity to move Lake Oswego into a more progressive and inclusive light. Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

I understand that funds are tight, but can the City make a select a future sight and build when funds are available? Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US and there are more weekly pickleball players in Lake Oswego than tennis players. There are 23 public tennis courts in Lake oswego and yet no pickleball courts. Please note that 12 pickleball courts cost the same as 4 tennis courts.The Lake Oswego pickleball site task force estimated the cost of adding courts at the large dog park at Hazelia would only cost$850,000 to install.

Name anonymous Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* I believe that the Council should do a traffic study in the First Addition neighborhood. Every day I see drivers speeding up D and E Avenues, likely as cut-through between 43 and Country Club.They often don't stop at the stop signs. Drivers frequently park on the wrong side of the street in this neighborhood.There are also many cars parked on the public streets with outdated registration stickers. I'd love to see the LOPD come through the neighborhood some day and issue citations. Also, it's time to address the"six corners"intersection at Country Club and Iron Mountain. It's so frustrating to go through there,at all times of day and night. It should be pared down to a 4-way intersection.There is no other 6-way intersection in the entire state, and for good reason. Finally,the LO tree code really needs to be addressed. It's offensive that developers can simply get to the point of not wanting to change their building plans, and the city will allow an entire block to be clear cut of all existing trees. If you want to call LO"Tree City"then change the code to have some real restrictions. Otherwise,what is the point of a tree code if it can be so blatantly ignored?Thank you.

Name Frank Sampson Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* I would like the City Council to consider finding ways to reduce cut-through traffic in First Addition. In the 8 years that I've lived here,traffic along D Avenue has increased dramatically.As population in our region increases and as more and more people discover this shortcut to and from Country Club Road and Macadam Avenue,traffic will only increase further.We now how all-day traffic. It's not always like rush hour but it's constant and extends past midnight.You'd be surprised how many cars use D at 3:00am.Traffic enforcement of some kind would be nice as well.The number of illegally parked cars,expired license plates and long-term usage of public right of ways is impressive. Speed bumps between 4th and 5th and 5th and 6th could keep traffic speeds to something approaching the speed limit. I'd also suggest that it's time to install a sidewalk on E Avenue.As a resident, I can tell you that First Addition is not really walkable as pedestrians must constantly yield to automobile traffic.A sidewalk along E would help immensely. Finally,we should look at revising the 6- way intersection at A Avenue and Country Club road.This provides easy access into First Addition by non- neighborhood traffic and really is unnecessary.And please reopen the golf course.Thank you for your consideration.

Name Mrs.Anderson Neighborhood Westlake What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* To ask your city to provide leaf removal services where residents can blow leaves onto the street for pickup, you can write a formal request or proposal. Here's an example of how to structure your communication: Subject: Request for Leaf Removal Program for Street Pickup Dear[City Official's Name or Department, e.g., Public Works Department], I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request that the city consider implementing a seasonal leaf removal program,where residents are permitted to blow leaves onto the street for scheduled pickup. This service could greatly benefit our community by: •Preventing clogged storm drains caused by excessive leaf buildup. •Reducing the burden on individual residents to dispose of large volumes of leaves. •Maintaining cleaner streets and improving the overall appearance of our neighborhoods. Many cities have successfully implemented similar programs, offering scheduled leaf pickups during peak seasons. Residents could be informed of designated pickup dates and guidelines for leaf placement to ensure efficiency and safety. I believe this initiative would be well-received by our community and could enhance the city's efforts to maintain public spaces. Please let me know if this is something the city can consider. I would be happy to provide additional details or assist in spreading awareness of the program.

Consider adding a mid-road light to further enhance visibility. 2.**Tree Maintenance** - Implement enhanced tree pruning along South Shore Drive and surrounding side streets to reduce the risk of power outages caused by falling branches during storms. 3.**Winter Weather Preparedness** -Deploy street sanders during ice storms to improve road safety and reduce accidents. 4.**Community Amenities** -Create a designated downtown dog park area to provide a safe and enjoyable space for residents and their pets. 5.**Community Engagement* -Set up a booth for local police at the farmers market to foster community relations and allow residents to meet and greet law enforcement officers. 6.**Environmental Initiatives** -Outlaw gas-powered blowers within the city limits in favor of electric blowers to reduce noise pollution and environmental impact. 7.**Construction Regulations** -Establish construction hours from 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday,to minimize disturbances to residents during early mornings and weekends. These recommendations aim to enhance safety, community engagement, environmental sustainability, and overall quality of life for residents.

Pickleball has a physical and social benefit that brings people together in a way no other sport does. I'd like our city to follow through with its commitment to providing an active healthy place for all ages to enjoy. I suspect Lake Oswego is one of the few communities who have not engaged in listening and responding to requests for access to this community activity. it's lovely to have the new community pool and improved 9 hole golf course, but let's keep going, If a council member has not tried pickleball, I encourage them to learn the basics. I guarantee, laughter will be one of the great outcomes.The happy endorphins simply emerge.A person can be terrible at the sport or very skilled. Regardless, everyone who has played feels welcomed. Give it a try and you'll see just his beneficial the sport is for the community.All ages play. Families play together. New friendships are made.There are no boundaries as everyone can join in.

New swimming, skate but still no Pickleball courts.Why can't we put new ones by the soccer,farm area, dog parks. No worry about noise.Also could be lit like the soccer. I bet if you ask,we can get a sponsor for the court names, or rich LO donations to support it. Fund raise. Don't make excuses.

Name Colin Cooper Neighborhood UNKNOWN What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Let me first begin by saying our neighborhood is not unknown-it is River Run. I would urge the Council to really focus on maintaining existing infrastructure. For example,our communities roads are falling into further disrepair. I see this while walking, bicycling, and driving throughout the community. We really need to due better job maintaining our roads for all modes. It is more than a little spilled coffee, it will become a huge financial burden if we are rebuilding our roads rather than having a robust pavement management system. I recommend augmenting state gas tax and street fee dollars with general fund dollars. Our household holds in the Parks Department in high regard and we need to maintain our existing parks with the same rigor as we are building the new community center.

Name Betsy Wosko Neighborhood Old Town What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* 1. Please ban gas blowers and please stop owners and developers from cutting down mature trees.There is a vocal, substantial, and growing opposition to our city's inaction or grossly insufficient action with respect to these environmental issues. Councilor Rapf may call these people"loud,"as he suggested in a recent city council meeting-but remember, please,that abolitionists and suffragists were"loud,"too.And today, it is self- evident they were right. So too in time will tree activists and those who want gas blowers banned prove to be right. 2. Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan is"citizen involvement."Not lip service to citizen involvement, but meaningful citizen involvement.The reason for this is because citizens provide a necessary check-and- balance to development interests. Gov. McCall, in ushering through the Comp Plan in 1973, knew local governments tend to be strongly influenced by narrow fiscal interests and, if unchecked,will act with reckless disregard for our precious environment and in so doing ruin what makes Oregon so incredibly beautiful and special.The second thing I ask,then, is for city council to meaningfully allow citizens to participate in policy and practice with respect to environmental issues,thereby allowing the checks-and-balance system to work.

I think you should start by offering money to West Linn Pickleball Club to help them,or to City of West Linn since they are hosting so many of the Lake Oswego pickleball refugees.You chose to send us to them without thought for how it might overburden them.They have welcomed us and they clearly planned well since they have two nice facilities. I also want to suggest that you might want to convert the tennis courts at George Rogers to multi use(perhaps add some basketball hoops and lines),since they are barely used. I take my grandkids to the playground, and the courts are usually empty(a Pyrrhic victory since you basically have given Old Town their own private tennis courts).

Name Dale Dour Neighborhood Lake Forest What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* When George Roger park had active Pickleball it was rated one of the busiest sites in the USA based on reservations via PlayTime Scheduler. LO Pickleball Club had over 300 members and a very active/engaged player community. I made several friends and acquaintances playing at George Rogers.When George Rogers closed the LO Pickleball group fractured. I continue to play at multiple sites but the group was fractured and has lost the feeling of community that we had. I have watched as LO Parks&Rec shares their plans and priorities. I have noted that there is a specific absence of any focus on re-establishing a dedicated Pickleball site in LO. Pickleball is a sport that appeals to young and old. It is an excellent way for older LO residents to stay active and engaged. It is a rapidly growing sport that other local communities are making part of the Rec. priorities. I would like to see LO do the same. Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

Name Steve Davey Neighborhood UNKNOWN What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* I would like to see the council reconsider the decision to shut down the pickleball courts at Lake Oswego or at a minimum find a place to reintroduce in the community. The Lake Oswego pickleball club had a very large number of active players and i feel this was handled poorly in deciding to shut this down without another option to play. These dedicated courts had been in service for multiple years at Lake Oswego and it was a shame to see them closed down.

It was very sad when the beautiful courts at George Rogers park were transformed back to Tennis courts last year.There were hundreds of pickleball players displaced with no other place to go in Lake Oswego. For a city the size of Lake Oswego and the financial resources they have from taxes we pay to have no dedicated courts is a real oversight. HOpefully we can make it a priority in the furture.

Name travis smith Neighborhood Country Club District What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* 1.)Outdoor pickleball courts! My wife and I(and our kids when home for summer breaks)loved the George Rogers courts before they were removed. It's a fantastic sport that people from all ages can participate in. Build them up by the new Swim Center?At Iron Mountain City Park? Maybe Foothills?Or even at that park off Atwater? 2.)Convert the 6-way intersection coming into town into a round about! We live off Iron Mountain on the country club side and turning left onto Country Club from our street is a comedy of errors.You could close off 2-3 of the access points(even our Iron Mountain side would be fine to close off).That intersection is huge, plenty of space and the perfect spot for a round about.And you could landscape and sign it in such a way it would be a great entrance into the city.

Please work on alternatives to driving in Lake Oswego. For example,establish a safe route for bikes and pedestrians to travel(directly)from Westlake to downtown LO. 3) Focus on protecting the city's natural resources like trees,creeks and watersheds,open spaces. 4) Move forward on plans to build a new library and community center in Lake Grove.The old library has outgrown its current space, and the west part of town lacks the amenities of other areas.

It's really disappointing that the greatest example of community I have seen in LO was cancelled by the city. I went from playing/exercising 5 days a week to not at all. I can image the negative health implications have been a consistent theme among former members. I'm still very disappointed in this failure to support the greater good...500+pickleball members vs a handful of neighbors.We needed a replacement solution asap and it's an embarrassment to our city that we still don't have one.

Name Debbie Ford Neighborhood Palisades What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* I was one of the many who loved and valued George Rogers Pickleball. LO needs at least 8 dedicated pickleball courts.We have lived in LO since 1997 when my husband went to work for Nike, I coached LO High School Girls Tennis for 9 years.And played tennis at MT Park Racket Club for many years.We've met wonderful people thruout our time here but honestly the variety of people and age groups that I met during sessions at GR was wonderful.The social benefits almost out weighed the physical benefits. I attended most all of the meetings regarding closing GR so I'm aware of the space, location and cost issues. BUT a community such as ours deserves a facility that includes all of our residents young and old. Pickleball does just that!!!

Since it's so popular, please consider accommodating the public with a reasonable number of courts(at least 6-8). Please consider the use of existing facilities already under the control of the city; otherwise, it will take many years and more dollars to set up any pickleball courts,to answer the current demand of those interested, but have had to go outside of LO.Also, please base your review of pickleball courts on substantiated facts by qualified entities in order to show transparency in decision-making.

Name Suzanne Conklin Neighborhood Lake Grove What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* 1. I would like to see dedicated Bike Boulevards as found throughout Portland. Bike riding along Boones Ferry is a death trap even with the marked bike lanes,there are too many egresses and it doesn't feel like traffic has calmed down with the new medians in place. 2. Bike access via the train tracks to Sellwood/Portland. I asked Joe Buck the 1st time he ran for Mayor and he said he was very interested in that possibility. Is there an update? 3. Not interested in Pickleball venues because noise and traffic are a nuisance. 4. Keep Lake Grove Elementary School open. 5. Have a noise ordinance that is codified and enforced.The noise from commercial garbage pickup along Boones Ferry corridor which abuts residential neighborhoods along Upper Drive is bonkers before 6am and often begins as early as 4am in the morning. Calls to Zupans,Waste Services and the City asking if they could have a later start time have gone no where.Whenever there is a new business lot developed we have asked that trash dumpster location NOT abut the neighborhood, please put it on the business side. Once again, requests unheeded. 6.Where are we on the gas powered leaf blowers? I think there is something restricting there use 2025 or 2026? I used a meter and my neighbor's landscape service(2 men going down the length of the driveway 100 ft long)clocked in at over 100 dBs. Thank you.

In the more than 1-2 years since then, I've seen our impressive LORAC structure take shape and the installation of the new skatepark/multipurpose field. Sadly though,still no promises filled for us. In the meantime,we're relegated to either travel to Tualatin or Wilsonville or pay up to use monitized facilities in Beaverton or Clackamas.While the Rolling Hills Church has 4 indoor designated courts,they have a wait in list a mile long (demonstrating our local demand).

Name kim chase Neighborhood North Shore What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* It was such a shame that the pickleball facility was closed at George Rogers Park. It brought joy and an opportunity for community building for people living in and outside Lake Oswego.With the closure, my heart went out to some of the older citizens in our community,who lost the opportunity for fitness, mental health, and friendship. Relocating to other communities in the surrounding area is not the same,especially for our older population.The City Council must have known that possibly moving to West Lake would not have support from neighbors in that area.As you know,the demand is huge and is growing. Pickleball in our community must happen.We all understand the noise issue. Some thoughts-Lusher,Waluga,the new pool area off Stafford I am confident our City Council and other members of our community involved in this process have been doing a lot of research on locations that will accommodate the demand, and build a facility where prior noise issues won't be problematic.

It's honestly shameful for a city that prides itself on being friendly and welcoming to senior citizens that we don't accommodate the sport that so many can play.

I played there twice a week and have not found a place that is as convenient as this was. So many people were left not knowing where to play after these courts closed. I am still so surprised that you closed these courts without a plan of another place that people could play. Please consider building new courts this year. Thanks!

Pickleball is one of the unique sports that can be played not only by a wide variety of ages, but provides an activity that grandparents, parents and children of all ages can play together and have fun.

If the tennis courts were used, I would understand not wanting to convert them, but they are barely used. If we could convert existing, under-used tennis courts to pickelball courts,that would be a great first step. Trish Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

As you focus on the future, please support the library.This is a fundamental building block of society. BUT-- please do not create a second library. For a community our size,that's a waste of precious money to have to maintain and staff two facilities. If the current library is not adequate, it will require some hard decisions, but maintaining two separate locations is not a wise way to spend our tax dollars. For livability, please allocate resources to keep graffiti out of our city. Portland looks like a third world county now with so much vandalism visible from every major road.This is not art. It's vandalism. Please respond to graffiti immediately and do not allow criminals to deface our neighborhoods. So far, I've seen very quick response when I've reported graffiti at Nansen Summit.

Name CARRIE VANDERWAGEN Neighborhood Bryant What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Lake Oswego Councilors: Please prioritize two issues in 2025. 1) Use all influence and mechanisms at hand to maintain Lake Grove School and LO Library in current locations. Resist efforts by developers and School Board persuasion regarding creating a revenue source out of the school and making a new, unnecesary building for our wonderful(though retro-fit-suitable) library. 2) Make quieter, cleaner, healthier yard care a TOP priority for the City Council by exploring incentives for residents for less-manicured and more earth-friendly gardens and lawns. Reluctance to impose a ban need not limit the City from normalizing a different aesthetic by further education, publicity and promotion of landscaping methods that rely less on GPLE and foster safer lives for our contracted workers, residents, animals and soils. I loved seeing how LO leads in so many ways and chose to purchase my home here. I'd love to see LO bring in the new, sustainable ways to enjoy beauty. I laud the City for adopting these practices on City property and look forward to this same courage making LO neighborhoods walkable and breathable by taking action now.

Name Sean McCarty Neighborhood Westridge What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Vision Respond to Racism envisions a Lake Oswego and Oregon where racial equity is achieved, and all residents feel valued, respected,and empowered regardless of their race or ethnicity. Problem Statement Despite progress in many areas, racism persists in Lake Oswego and Oregon, manifesting in various forms such as systemic discrimination, implicit bias, and racial disparities in opportunities and outcomes.This perpetuates a cycle of inequality, marginalization,and injustice that undermines the well-being and cohesion of the community. Specifically,community members of color who come to RtR events continue to report being subject to constant microaggressions and having a lack of spaces to safely gather and build community with each other,with the few that exist facing hostility from white community members and lack of tangible support from Lake Oswego institutions.While the City of Lake Oswego's current DEI goals provide a baseline for recognizing DEI as a City value,they don't address these deeper issues facing communities of color in LO.The current City goals for DEI read as follows: "Continue efforts related to DEI, including: prioritize equity in the delivery of city services;formalize a translation and interpretation policy;explore a partnership with LOSD to host an annual event welcoming new residents to the city; and provide information on how to engage and ways to access services and programs." Solution Respond to Racism proposes updating the City's DEI goals to include: 1) Develop an antiracism action plan guided by the priorities identified in a survey of Lake Oswego community members of color. In order to better serve communities of color,the City of Lake Oswego needs more data on these community members'experiences, priorities and quality of life.At the present moment, discussions on progress,especially regarding antiracism, are almost exclusively anecdotal and guided disproportionately by public figures.Working with community partners like Respond to Racism and utilizing the model of reports like the Coalition of Community of Color's Cultivating Belonging in Clackamas County,for which the City of Lake Oswego provided funding support,the City can address this data gap and inform its antiracism practices from a community-centered approach. 2)Create a designated multicultural space in a City of Lake Oswego facility for shared use by organizations serving community members of color. Ray Oldenburg's book Celebrating the Third Place: Inspiring Stories about the"Great Good Places" (2002)described the concept of third spaces-places that allow for people to nn+hnr nnrl nrnnfn n cnncn of nnmmi inih,kid.+hn+nrn nn++hn hnr,,n/fir,,+cnnnnl nr urnrL/cnnnnrl cnnnnl you ICI al IU VI talc a Jcl IOC VI uunuiul my VIAL U!ol aic I ais I IV! is\ni Ol aFlol.c)VI YVVI n,OCI.VI iu aI.lal.c). Conversations with Lake Oswego's BIPOC community members since the beginning of Respond to Racism inform our conclusion that third spaces for these communities are not readily available in our area.A recent research justice study completed by the Coalition of Communities of Color in 2024, Cultivating Belonging in Clackamas County, (available at https://www.coalitioncommunitiescolor.org/cultivatingbelonging)came to the same conclusion-there is a lack of spaces in Clackamas County for BIPOC communities to share histories, experiences,and desires for the future and more opportunities are needed to build long-term partnerships with institutions that can support cultural events. Designating a shared multicultural space in a City facility(i.e.the Library or new Recreation Center)where community based organizations can hold space for communities of color would go a long way towards intentionally creating the missing third space for the BIPOC community in Lake Oswego.The outcome of this work will be a better connected and supported community that can advocate for system changes. 3) Provide and widely publicize community education on microaggressions, including through community events, publicly available education materials and other public-facing City communications. One of the most consistent obstacles to mental wellbeing and general quality of life that community members of color report to RtR is being subject to constant microaggressions,which are defined as indirect, subtle, or unintentional acts of discrimination against members of a marginalized group(Oxford Dictionary). For example, City Council member Massene Mboup recently commented during a recent City Council Candidate Forum that he is often mistaken for"the driver" by white community members even though he sits on City Council and serves as Executive Director of the International Leadership Academy. Since these acts are more subtle,they aren't treated with the seriousness of more overt acts of racism,yet they can have a devastating effect on people's sense of belonging and psychological well being. Increasing investment in community education, both in the form of in-person and virtual workshops, as well as passive methods of consumption (i.e.videos, social media posts, City messaging,etc.)will go a long way towards actively creating a culture of belonging. Outcomes Through our proposals for the City of Lake Oswego's 2025 Goals, Respond to Racism aims to achieve the following outcomes: Increased racial equity and inclusivity in Lake Oswego and Oregon. Reduction in racist attitudes, behaviors, and disparities. Strengthened community resilience and social cohesion. Empowered individuals and institutions committed to anti-racism. Creation of a more just and equitable society for residents of all races and ethnicities. Passage of public policies that specifically address racial disparities and serve the specific needs of communities of color. Increased presence of leaders of color and groups led by communities of color with a commitment to anti- racism. Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

Name Edward Conrad Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* City implementation of SB 895{effective 1/1/24}.This bill recognizes that slow moving vehicles including bicycles are entitled to the full traffic lane. It specifies the safe way for a faster vehicle to overtake a slow moving vehicle.The law was written particularly with rural areas in mind. It was assumed that urban areas already had safe bicycle infrastructure.This assumption does not apply to Lake Oswego. The city could enforce SB 895 immediately. Implementation will require police and public education and signage.The new provisions are not incorporated in the new 2024-25 Oregon Driver's Manual. It is not enforced by LOPD.Without strong city council support it is likely that even this modest proposal will not happen in a timely manner.Two years ago,the city traffic engineer agreed with the need for new signage on a particularly dangerous street curve.

Name Edward Conrad Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Small Gasoline Engine Policy Although most Lake Oswego residents think of gasoline fueled leaf blowers when they consider offensive equipment,there are others.A partial list includes: Landscaping equipment Tree service equipment Motor scooters, mopeds and motorcycles Marine outboard and inboard motors Automobiles and trucks Railroads Construction equipment Industrial processes Fire pits,fireplaces and wood stoves Equity requires that city rules be applied across all residents and non-residents as well as all types of equipment. Rather than regulating one class of equipment from one minority dominated industry,the city should decide what aspect(s)of equipment, if any,should be regulated Noise The US Coast Guard already has unenforced noise standards for marine applications. Perhaps USCG standards could be applied to non-marine equipment. Poorly designed electric leaf blowers can be significantly noisier than well designed gas leaf blowers. Noise level for 4 stroke leaf blowers may range from 64 to 80 dB which can be compared to 85 to 95 dB for a commercial construction compressor.The compressor may be left running for the full work day. If an ordinance is focused on controlling noise,the ordinance should be based on noise level rather than the source of power or the industry using the device. Particulant(e.g.PM 2.5) This can be a particular problem in the Portland area during winter. 2 stroke motors are particularly bad relative to 4 stroke engines. Smaller(e.g.chainsaw) is worse than larger(e.g.automobile)engines A major source of particulate pollution is tire and roadway particles.This is much worse with heavier EVs than with lighter vehicles. Although the levels will vary, a 4 stroke backpack gas leaf blower generates from 6 to 10 g/hr of PM 2.5 particles.A 8532 pound GVWR Rivian EV will generate about 3 g/hr of PM 2.5 particles from tire, roadway and electric power generation. Other significant sources of particulate pollution include: open fires,wood fireplaces,wood stoves,construction equipment,agricultural equipment, recreational vehicles, plowing soil,cement plants, power plants,demolition, railroad freight locomotives(1300 to 6500 g/hr), railroad historic trolleys. Developing a policy to control particulate release will require a city-wide all-industry inventory. Carbon dioxide. Whether it is from a leaf blower or a Lamborghini, burning a gallon of gasoline will add 19.6 pounds of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.A gas leaf blower may use a gallon of gas an hour. For the average electricity generation in the US, a 4 hp electric backpack leaf blower will indirectly generate 2.5 pounds of CO2 per hour. For comparison,flying round trip from Portland to Washington DC will add 2822 pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere.This is equivalent to running a gas leaf blower for 40 hours a week for 3 weeks and 4 days. Developing a policy to control carbon dioxide release will require a city-wide all-industry inventory. The city could serve as an incubator for several large and small landscape companies and encourage property owners to encourage their landscaper to adopt electric equipment.This would avoid an illiberal mandate by the city.

Name Evie McCarty Neighborhood Westridge What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* The LO city council should consider solutions to systemic racism within the community.While overtly racist incidents in LO are often repressed,they still happen,and microaggressions and implicit bias run rampant. Therefore,the city council must focus on alleviating these issues.Action should be based on the stated needs of communities of color, as specified in the 2024 Culture of Belonging survey. One of the most important ways to implement these changes is through the development of third spaces for BIPOC community members.This will help build community and a sense of identity and belonging in a city in which BIPOC people have repeatedly stated makes them feel out of place.Another way to alleviate this is to provide all LO community members with education regarding microaggressions and implicit bias.This will help white people identify and recognize their implicit biases and help them stop themselves from committing microaggressions against BIPOC communities,creating a safe environment for all.

Name Respond to Racism in Lake Oswego Neighborhood Forest Highlands What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* Respond to Racism in Lake Oswego advocates for the following updates to the City's DEI goals: 1) Develop an antiracism action plan guided by the priorities identified in a survey of Lake Oswego community members of color. 2)Create a designated multicultural space in a City of Lake Oswego facility for shared use by organizations serving community members of color. 3) Provide and widely publicize community education on microaggressions, including through community events, publicly available education materials and other public-facing City communications. Despite progress in many areas, racism persists in Lake Oswego and Oregon, manifesting in various forms such as systemic discrimination, implicit bias, and racial disparities in opportunities and outcomes.This perpetuates a cycle of inequality, marginalization,and injustice that undermines the well-being and cohesion of the community. Specifically,community members of color who come to RtR events continue to report being subject to constant microaggressions and having a lack of spaces to safely gather and build community with each other,with the few that exist facing hostility from white community members and lack of tangible support from Lake Oswego institutions.While the City of Lake Oswego's current DEI goals provide a baseline for recognizing DEI as a City value,they don't address these deeper issues facing communities of color in LO.The current City goals for DEI read as follows: "Continue efforts related to DEI, including: prioritize equity in the delivery of city services;formalize a translation and interpretation policy;explore a partnership with LOSD to host an annual event welcoming new residents to the city; and provide information on how to engage and ways to access services and programs." Through our proposals for the City of Lake Oswego's 2025 Goals, Respond to Racism aims to achieve the following outcomes: 1)Increased racial equity and inclusivity in Lake Oswego and Oregon. 2) Reduction in racist attitudes, behaviors,and disparities. 3)Strengthened community resilience and social cohesion. 4) Empowered individuals and institutions committed to anti-racism. 5)Creation of a more just and equitable society for residents of all races and ethnicities. 6) Passage of public policies that specifically address racial disparities and serve the specific needs of communities of color. 7) Increased presence of leaders of color and groups led by communities of color with a commitment to anti- racism.

Name Anne Meneakis Neighborhood Evergreen What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* To the City Councilors and Mayor of Lake Oswego. I am writing to express my support for the 2025 DEI goals outlined below,as defined by Lake Oswego's Respond to Racism. I am on the board of RTR, but I am writing to you as a community member who has heard for years the stories of racial harm and the antithesis of welcome and inclusivity toward people of color in our city:whether it be in our schools,our city's businesses, or from city employees or representatives themselves. Our city's long-standing and deplorable reputation as"Lake No Negro,"continues,as students of color are unable to attend our schools without being repeatedly subjected to a traumatizing barrage of racial and ethnic slurs and micro-aggressions. Customers of color are unable to shop or bank without being profiled as thieves or treated as if they were invisible altogether. The power you hold as city leaders to change this reality is significant. I make this remark as someone who has studied the psychology of racism as a graduate student and clinical social worker.Your adoption of the recommendations proposed by RTR is supported by clinical research to help combat racial harm. Incorporating these recommendations into your goals for 2025 would convey a crucial willingness to undo our city's shameful reputation,and to create a healthier city for all who live, learn, or work here. I respectfully implore you to adopt the below recommendations into your 2025 DEI goals. With genuine gratitude your time and consideration, Anne Meneakis Respond to Racism's requests for the City Council's 2025 DEI goals. 1) Develop an antiracism action plan guided by the priorities identified in a survey of Lake Oswego community members of color. 2)Create a designated multicultural space in a City of Lake Oswego facility for shared use by organizations serving community members of color. 3) Provide and widely publicize community education on microaggressions, including through community events, publicly available education materials and other public-facing City communications.

It should be independent of any one department for this comprehensive city-wide focus.Without such coordination and the needed trained and willing volunteers to help in this conservation effort,future assessments in our natural open spaces and our natural resources will result in dire evaluations of these ecological habitat areas.Just under half of endangered species became so due to invasive species depleting their habitat.Though the Metro area has early detection aspirations for threatening species,we have gone decades without any meaningful response to preserve the natural gifts we inherited here.Though recent laudatory efforts have been made in vision and objectives with our Natural Resources Management Plan and the Urban Forest Update Plan,the funding and implementation--the means--are woefully lacking given the health status needs.

Name Carl Schmits Neighborhood Palisades What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* My wife and I are longtime residents of Lake Oswego. In 2015,with LOPR's support,we launched a project and subsequent program which not only invigorated underused assets in the City's inventory, but built a significant community around what is considered the fastest growing sport in the US-pickleball.This program grew to the extent that during the quarantine period of July 2020 to June 2021,with capacity limited to 66%of the norm,we logged over 30,000 documented participant occurrences at the facility located at George Rogers Park. I've been responsible for equipment standards with the sport's national governing body,the USA Pickleball Association,since 2016. In 2022 my department's remit expanded to include facilities development.We've been supporting municipalities across the US while they commit to addressing constituent's demands with planning resources that include feasibility studies, acoustic assessments and architectural services. In 2023 we launched a"Quiet Category"of products and services to address the sport's growth into potentially sensitive areas, most recently launching an AI-driven acoustic assessment service. We'd like to re-commit support by USA Pickleball in evaluating potential sites, demonstrating new equipment to address acoustic concerns, including the support of those services mentioned above.

Name Erin Cushing Neighborhood Oak Creek What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* 1.Adopt the suggested goals of Lake Oswego Sustainability Network and Respond to Racism. 2. Public health: Incorporate public health into the city's Sustainability and Climate Action Plan as well as the Urban and Community Forestry Plan. Climate change is the greatest public health threat of our lifetime.The environment and health and well being are interconnected. Climate mitigation and adaptation and other environmental and sustainability actions have immediate co-benefits for public health, including avoided costs. Planetary health, environmental health, and ecosystem services are concepts that highlight this interdependence. 3. Healthy, sustainable landscaping: Ban gas leaf blowers and enact a policy for responsible use of electric leaf blowers. Encourage and role model leaving the leaves in the garden beds, composting and using manual tools where feasible, switching to 100%electric and/or manual landscaping equipment, planting native plants, drought tolerant and firewire landscaping,avoiding pesticides and herbicides, clearing stormwater drains, and creating rain gardens for flood mitigation and reducing stormwater runoff pollution.Actively collaborate with regional governments and relevant stakeholders to come up with creative win-win solutions(such as low or zero interest microfinance loans to support landscapers in purchasing electric leaf bowers,which has a payback period of only about 10.5 months). Gas leaf blowers are a complex issue, but it is a significant public health and environmental problem in Lake Oswego. It impacts livability. It is a DEI/environmental justice/ environmental health justice issue in that the those of lower socio-economic status are impacted the most.The workers will likely suffer long term health consequences,which will also impact them financially long term. Please do not wait and watch Portland's eventual phased in ban.Take a stronger leadership role. Look to Washington, DC, Oakland and other places that have set good policy. Gas leaf blowers create significant air and noise pollution often 6 days a week, all daylight hours,throughout the city.The health and well being of people, animals and the environment should be more important than conventional lawns and OCD level vigilance about fallen leaves(which are actually beneficial as carbon sinks, reducing flooding, promoting soil health, and providing habitat). 4. Enact policy around idling of vehicles and other sources of unnecessary air pollution. 5. Enact a stronger noise ordinance. 6. Sweep leaves and debris from bike lanes to improve biking safety and accessibility. (Also, ban gas leaf blowers to make it safer and healthier to cycle,walk, run or generally go outside). 7. Explore electric public transit and enhance access to public transportation. Currently, public transit is limited and difficult to access,especially with infrequent service,few stops,and gas leaf blowers often blocking safe and comfortable access to transit. 8.Add more bike racks around town and include bike parking in parking infrastructure policy. 9.Adopt policy around light pollution. Consider becoming a Dark Sky city like much of Central Oregon.This would support public health and the environment, including the Bee City USA designation. Light pollution, especially of higher color temperatures, impacts circadian rhythm and is correlated with cancer risk and other health issues. It also impacts plants, insects and wildlife, including bird migration. 10. Consider green roofs and solar for shade, rain protection,and reduced heat island effect in the parks, parking infrastructure, and building policies. 11. Require restaurants and housing complexes to compost food waste. Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

Name Cathryn Kraus Neighborhood First Addition What would you like to see the City Council consider in their 2025 goal setting session?* To review/reconsider the development(and building)review and planning process for the betterment of all. What I have observed over 20+years:the process does not allow for early review and input from Design Review Board and the community for fair development that benefits the greater and future community. Neighbors and the Design Review Board get stuck with"it meets code"responses, rather than be engaged in finding win-win solutions to truly consider the community. Why: I served on Seattle's Design Review board for 5+years.This system was intentionally set up so that during*early design*the Design Review Board (mixed with Business,Architect, Community Member at Large, etc)and community could review existing sites, be shown proposed development,discuss of merits and "costs", and then (if appropriate)the Design Review Board could make recommendations to the City that would slightly amend land use codes to meet unique qualities of sites, neighborhoods,and the greater urban fabric. Options I was involved in included altering orientation of front of building to better fit fabric of the street/community or to capture a wonderful view(not blocking it for community PLUS giving it to future tenants), and/or to adjust set backs slightly to save a gorgeous tree, etc. Not all projects went through this process. Lake Oswego's process is set up so that"design review'(which is truly more of a code confirmation)happens late in the process,after design work,after design and building review,and it is far too late for positive feedback or change(design costs+development schedule).This process seems like a rubber stamping process that does not consider the overall impact on the community of key projects.This seems disempowering to all. The high density development between G and E, East of 3rd Street comes immediately to mind. Rubber stamping this development(the first of its kind here)due to the the city's procedures that"it meets code"is NOT true"design review'where this project is in the building approval process.This is a HUGE disservice to our city and our future city.Thoughtful design and code discernment is needed. Additionally: I do not understand why the City approves development and building permits that put adjacent property at risk(such as deep excavations to shared property lines AND into neighbors'property. OR allows buildings under tree drip lines. I have never seen any of this before in any of jurisdictions I have worked in (in Oregon and Washington). It favors developers and puts home owners at risk,which seems unfair. Easy example:455 G Avenue,where the deep excavation impacted the safety of parking in the Adult Community Center.Then when the ACC's land slipped into this deep hole. How is this fair? How does this protect our shared investments? Please note: inflammatory, offensive,or inappropriate language may be redacted.

We follow an extensive process to review and approve the input on goals that we send to the city council. We seek input from partners and review through an internal advocacy committee before the board review. We require consensus from board members in order to approve each item. The input on 2025 goals from the Lake Oswego Sustainability Network is as follows: 1 . LOSN salutes the city for adopting the goals presented in the "Housing Production Strategy" document LOSN would like to see more affordable housing, and more varied housing options in Lake Oswego. We urge the city to implement projects from this list and make this a priority. We support housing density within the downtown area and along busy corridors, and we support housing that is built to sustainable standards with low carbon emissions. 2. LOSN requests that in 2025 the City Council asks staff, in partnership with LOSN and other interested parties, to create a plan to phase-out gas-powered leaf blowers in Lake Oswego in a way that supports an equitable transition. a. We recommend that Lake Oswego look into the possibility of a coordinated approach with other cities in the region. b. Investigate utilizing grants, resources and incentives to help landscapers transition to electric landscaping equipment. c. The plan should contain an approach for a roll out and ongoing management. Gas leaf blowers cause significant air and noise pollution that negatively affects workers, neighborhoods, habitat and health of the soil. This goal would also support the City of Lake Oswego being a Bee City. LOSN would like to see a just transition to a safe working environment for landscapers, a quiet and clean atmosphere for residents, and a reduction in air and noise pollution and greenhouse gasses. We envision a future with a livable environment for non-human creatures such as trees, birds, animals and all living things. 3. LOSN continues to strongly support the City's Sustainability and Climate Action Plan and requests that the City Council continue its current goal to "Combat climate change and strengthen the community's resilience to climate impacts." Specifically we support directing staff to work on these existing initiatives: a. "Adopt a facilities policy and fleet policy that integrates climate and sustainability. Integrate climate goals and issues into the capital improvement plan," (e.g develop a sustainable buildings policy for City building construction projects, use sustainability criteria in the CIP) b. "Develop strategies to increase clean energy use and efficiency decisions by residents and businesses," (e.g. develop education and outreach programs, conduct a solarize campaign.) The 2025 Joint goals with the Lake Oswego Watershed Council are as follows. LOSN supports recommendations from the Oswego Lake Watershed Council. 1 . We request that the City establish a position to oversee the implementation of the Urban & Community Forest Plan. This position is listed as an Urban Forester in the plan, but a title of Urban Natural Resources Coordinator would be more appropriate. This position would oversee the coordination of natural resources across all City departments using the guidance from the Urban & Community Forestry Plan. 2. We request The City develop an Urban Forest Succession Plan based on the 3-30-300 rule or similar guidelines to ensure protection of natural resources as the City increases density to support development of affordable housing and equitable access to natural resources.. a. The 3-30-300 rule offers benchmarks for cities to promote equitable nature access. It dictates that individuals should see three trees from their dwelling, have 30 % tree canopy (at the 20 foot level) in their neighborhood, and live within 300 m of a high-quality green space. LOSN supports the 2025 recommended goals of Respond to Racism. 1 . Develop an antiracism action plan guided by the priorities identified in a survey of Lake Oswego community members of color. 2. Create a designated multicultural space in the City of Lake Oswego facility for shared use by organizations serving community members of color. 3. Provide and widely publicize community education on microaggressions, including community events, publicly available education materials and other public-facing City communications.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hi, for goal setting this year I'd like to see Lake Oswego allow micro businesses within neighborhoods. Our existing regulations continue to enforce LO's car dependency since the only way to get access to commercial areas safely is in a car. Allowing small businesses like cafes and bodegas will make our neighborhoods more vibrant by giving us safer destinations to walk and bike to,while reducing car dependence at the same time. Here's Washington state proposing to do it state-wide: https://www.theurbanist.org/2025/O 1/09/statewide-neighborhood-cafe-bill-returns-expanded- to-more-types-of-businesses/ Mike
