Writing city hall’s next chapter.

The current Milwaukie City Hall has served our community since 1938. As the city plans to move to a newer building, the City Council appointed a City Hall Blue Ribbon Committee (CHBRC) to help decide how the current city hall site should be used in the future.

What is a Preapplication Conference?

Preapplication conferences are meetings held between City of Milwaukie staff and members of the public who are considering submitting a land use application to the city. Unless waived by the Planning Manager, preapplication conferences are required for all land use application types except for Type I (MMC 19.1002).

Lidia Yuknavitch is the National Bestselling author of the novels The Book of Joan and The Small Backs of Children, winner of the 2016 Oregon Book Award's Ken Kesey Award for Fiction as well as the Reader's Choice Award, the novel Dora: A Headcase, and a critical book on war and narrative, Allegories Of Violence (Routledge). Her widely acclaimed memoir The Chronology of Water was a finalist for a PEN Center USA award for creative nonfiction and winner of a PNBA Award and the Oregon Book Award Reader's Choice. The Misfit's Manifesto, a bo

Amy Stewart is the New York Times best-selling author of the Kopp Sisters series, which are based on the true story of one of America’s first female deputy sheriffs and her two rambunctious sisters. The books are in development with Amazon Studios for a television series.

Her popular nonfiction titles include The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Plants, and Flower Confidential. While they have not been adapted for television, there are a few bars around the world named after The Drunken Botanist, which is even better.

City Hall could potentially relocate a couple blocks to the north along Main Street to take advantage of a unique opportunity. In late April 2019, the city was offered the chance to purchase the property at 10501 SE Main St., currently owned by Advantis. After a 5-month process that included direction from City Council, staff review, broker negotiations and public meetings, council authorized a purchase agreement on Aug. 27. The city is now in the due diligence phase and anticipates closing on the property this winter.

Home energy shouldn't be a guessing game.
 

Scores, labels and ratings are a regular part of how we communicate information. We consult miles-per-gallon ratings on cars, nutrition labels on food, and energy guide labels on appliances to make informed consumer decisions. However, consumer labeling for home energy is inconsistent and unavailable in most real estate markets.
