Special Called Canby City Council Work Session for July 8, 2026
Published: Jul 8, 2026
Cami Council Reviews Swim Center Levy Renewal Proposal
The City Council is considering a renewal of the swim center levy. The proposal is for a straight renewal without changes, maintaining the rate at 49 cents per thousand. This levy is intended to fund operations and programming strictly for the swim center. The language in the proposed ballot measure has been slightly adjusted to provide more flexibility for municipal aquatic services, including operations, programming, maintenance, repair, renovation, modernization, and preservation of aquatic facilities. This broader language is still considered to fall within the scope of operations and maintenance, avoiding issues with capital project funding. The current rate is projected to cover expenses, generating approximately $1 million annually, with potential for slight increases over the five-year term of the levy.
Cami Council Considers Charter Amendment to Allow Waivers for City Administrator Residency Requirement
The City Council is discussing proposed amendments to the City Charter regarding residency requirements for the City Administrator. The core change allows the Council to waive or alter residency requirements through adopted rules. This discussion explores various criteria for granting waivers, such as familial obligations, financial strain of moving, commute times, and geographic radii. Council members debated the rationale behind residency requirements (familiarity, accessibility, vested interest) and potential waiver conditions. Key considerations include defining acceptable distances or commute times, ensuring objectivity in waiver decisions, and establishing clear, fair rules. The council also discussed whether waiver criteria should be part of the job description, application process, or conditional offer stage.
Cami City Council Debates Charter Amendments for Cami Utility Debt Issuance Authority
The City Council is considering proposed amendments to Chapter 10 of the City Charter concerning Cami Utility's authority to issue bonds and incur debt, particularly for the water project. The Cami Utility Board (CUB) proposes clarifying language to grant greater flexibility in issuing revenue bonds and other forms of debt. Key discussions revolve around voter approval requirements for debt issuance, with CUB advocating for alignment with state law (OS) which allows for a voter review process rather than automatic votes for all debt. CUB also seeks to amend language regarding short-term loans, proposing to increase the limit from 50% of gross revenue to the full preceding fiscal year's revenue to accommodate project financing strategies. Two versions of proposed language were presented, with Version One being preferred for its maximum flexibility.
