West Linn meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

West Linn council designates Cedaroak Drive property as open space, authorizes transit study agreement

The West Linn City Council voted 5-0 on Oct. 13 to designate city-owned property at 3955 Cedaroak Drive as open space and stream corridor, one of five actions the council took by identical 5-0 votes that evening, according to minutes from the meeting. The same meeting produced a signed-off transit study agreement, two board appointments, and a decision to push a proposed annexation to November.

Cedaroak Drive property designated open space

The council adopted Resolution 2026-09, designating the city-owned property at 3955 Cedaroak Drive as open space and stream corridor. The vote was 5-0. The meeting summary describes the designation as intended to ensure long-term environmental protection. The supplied records do not detail what specific restrictions the designation places on the parcel.

Transit study agreement authorized

The council authorized the City Manager to sign a Sub-Regional Transit Service Study Intergovernmental Agreement, 5-0. The item also appeared on the revised Oct. 12 council agenda. The supplied records do not include the agreement's terms, cost, or the other jurisdictions involved.

Board appointments and minutes approved

The council appointed Dwight Reid and Kim Bria to the Utility Advisory Board, 5-0. It also approved the minutes of the Sept. 8, 22, and 28, 2026 meetings, 5-0.

Killarney Drive annexation moved to Nov. 10

The council voted 5-0 to move the proposed annexation of Killarney Drive to the Nov. 10 meeting. The item had been listed on the revised Oct. 12 agenda as rescheduled for a future meeting.

Agenda items without published outcomes

Most other meetings in the past two weeks have agendas posted but no minutes yet published, so what was decided — if anything — is not established by the supplied records.

• **Redevelopment Agency, Oct. 12 and Oct. 13.** Resolution URA-2026-01, minor amendments to the West Linn Willamette Riverfront Tax Increment Finance Area Plan, appeared on both agendas. No minutes are available, so whether the agency adopted the resolution is not confirmed here.
• **City Council work session, Oct. 6.** Scheduled items included the City Manager evaluation process and criteria, a 2026-28 council priorities update, a legislative update, and proclamations for Indigenous Peoples' Day and Water Professionals Appreciation Week.
• **City Council work session, Oct. 14.** Scheduled items included a joint meeting with the Planning Commission, a public use zoning discussion, and an Oregon City-West Linn Rivalry Day proclamation.
• **Hearings Officer, Oct. 15.** A quasi-judicial hearing on appeal AP-26-02 of a Planning Commission denial of a Class II Design Review (DR-25-04) and Lot Line Adjustments (LLA-25-02) for 2410/2422/2444 Tannler Drive and 1800 Blankenship Road.

West Linn agendas take up Cedaroak Drive open space, riverfront TIF amendments and a transit study

West Linn's City Council and its Redevelopment Agency set agendas over the past two weeks that put city-owned land, riverfront tax financing and a regional transit study on the table. As of Oct. 13, no minutes had been published for any of those meetings, so the record shows what was scheduled for discussion — not what was decided. No vote tallies or dollar amounts appear in the summaries provided.

Cedaroak Drive property proposed as open space

Resolution 2026-09, listed on the revised City Council agenda for Oct. 12, would designate 3955 Cedaroak Drive as open space and stream corridor. The item appears on the agenda for that meeting. The supplied record does not include a vote count, the text of the resolution, or an outcome.

Riverfront tax increment plan amendments

The West Linn Redevelopment Agency met Oct. 12 with a single business item: RESOLUTION URA-2026-01, described in the record as minor amendments to the West Linn Willamette Riverfront Tax Increment Finance Area Plan. Tax increment financing is a tool that directs growth in property tax revenue from a defined area toward improvements within that area. The record does not state what the amendments would change, what they would cost, or whether the agency adopted them.

Transit study agreement

Also on the Oct. 12 revised council agenda was a Sub-Regional Transit Service Study Intergovernmental Agreement, or IGA — an agreement among governments. The record does not identify the other parties, the cost, or the study's scope.

City manager evaluation and council priorities

A City Council work session on Oct. 6 covered the City Manager Evaluation Process & Criteria, an update on 2026-28 City Council priorities, and a legislative update. The agenda also included proclamations for Indigenous Peoples' Day and Water Professionals Appreciation Week, public comments with three minutes per participant, and a City Manager report. No ordinances, contracts, rezonings or fee changes appeared on that agenda.

The supplied record lists this work session twice — once in an entry dated Sept. 30 and again in an entry dated Oct. 6 — with the same agenda items.

Other items

The Oct. 12 revised agenda included the West Linn Chamber's Annual Performance Update and a review of its FY 26/27 Work Plan. A proposed annexation of Killarney Drive was listed as rescheduled for a future meeting.
