BACKGROUND As a part of the 2025 City Council goals, the City Council adopted an initiative to "redefine the Respect Trust. cam,.: 503-635-0215 380 A AVENUE PO BOX 369 LAKE OSWEGO, OR 97034 WWW.LAKEOSWEGO.CITY Page 2 50+Advisory Board as the Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board." During the April 1, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2960 to modify LOC 12.51.065 to redefine the 50+Advisory Board as the Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board. During the June 17, 2025 Council meeting, the City Council appointed the new Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board members (Resolution 25-06). Staff began onboarding the new members in July. DISCUSSION The preliminary charge statement, developed by staff, dictates that the Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board shall: a. Advise the City Council as to how best prepare the community for emergencies, especially seniors and people with disabilities. b. Advise the City Council as to how to promote healthy lifestyle options. c. Provide recommendations to the City Council on ways to educate and inform the community about emergency management operations and resiliency. d. Provide recommendations to City Council for City events related to Community Health and Resiliency, such as the City's Emergency Preparedness Fair, and programs focused on community health. One of the phases identified in the redefinition of the newly-charged advisory board was to review the charge statement and propose modifications. To thoroughly evaluate the board's charge statement, the newly formed Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board spent a significant amount of time understanding the vision of the Mayor and Council, reviewing the charge statement language, and developing a refined charge statement for Council consideration. On October 9, 2025, the Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board finalized the recommended charge statement below for City Council consideration: a. Advise the City Council on strategies to strengthen the community's ability to prepare for, withstand, and recover from emergencies b. Provide recommendations to the City Council on ways to foster community health and well-being through policies, programs, and partnerships that respect individual choices while providing support for social connectedness and equitable access to community resources c. Advise the City Council on effective approaches to inform and engage residents about emergency management and community health resources d. Provide recommendations for City events, policies, and programs that strengthen community resiliency and health —such as preparedness fairs, wellness initiatives, and opportunities that build neighborhood connections.
