7:30	Clackamas County Housing Strategies Phase 2 (HB2001) update
•	Joseph Edge, OGCC Chair, presented
•	House Bill 2001 requires that middle housing is present in urban unincorporated areas with specific residential zoning. By June 30, the county must adopt zoning standards consistent with the state regulations OR use the state’s middle housing code (the default if no action is taken). 
•	The county has no control over housing types, zoning districts, review processes, duplex siting/design standards, or housing prices.
•	The county has some control over how big a site must be for middle housing development, floodplain/natural resource protections, parking, and some siting/design standards.
•	Planning Comm Public Hearings on 3/28 and 4/11
•	BCC Meeting will be at 10 AM on Wed April 27, 2022. 
•	Be sure to share your comments at these meetings. 

8:30	McLoughlin Area Plan Implementation Team update
•	Valerie Chapman shared that the OGCC Board formed a subcommittee to determine how we should continue with MAP-IT membership. The subcommittee reached out to previous representatives on OGCC and learned that while everyone was optimistic about the McLoughlin Area Plan, they felt that MAP-IT was no longer the best avenue for promoting the vision. Therefore, the OGCC decided to take no further action concerning MAP-IT reformation and instead focus on continued outreach to the local businesses. Joseph shared that we have discussed this with the County Administrator, who advised that this was an acceptable outcome. 
8:40	Land Use Application Review Team
•	Historic resource designation was approved for the property on Oatfield introduced in previous meetings. 
8:40	ABCs: committee updates and open recruitments
•	CERT: Greg Wenneson shared on 4/2 that CERT will conduct a field exercise for those who attended online training.
•	CPO Summit: Rich shared that they are in a reformation phase and will share updates as they are known.
•	Willamette View Green Team: Wayne Potter joined to share a proclamation and ask us to propose that we acknowledge that April 22 is Earth Day. In addition, Wayne requested that we make this proclamation public.
Valerie Chapman made a motion at 8:45, with a second from Jane Civiletti: Oak Grove community council to adopt the proclamation as written. The motion passed with 16 Yes, 1 No, and 1 Abstain.
•	Historic Downtown Oak Grove District: Suzanne Wolf shared a letter of thanks for the recent $500 donation. She also shared that Five Guys will be supporting the festival with a cash donation based on 15% of sales on the third Thursdays of each month from 4-9 PM from March-June. You need to mention FUNDRAISER for the donation to be made. 
•	Parks & Rec: Anatta reported that the Jennings Lodge CPO voted unanimously for the library to be freestanding. This is 5 of 5 community organizations. Next up is to decide on the best design for the library. There are still two vacancies for the Library Board (one voting and one alternate). The application closes on May 1.  For more info & to apply, visit: https://web3.clackamas.us/abc/index.jsp
•	NCPRD: Mark Elliott reviewed two options for the freestanding library, with the main difference being the distance between the buildings. The Task Force will develop two building options, including single and two-story options. Next Steps: NCPRD will present outcomes to the BCC during an upcoming Policy Meeting. They will also seek to secure financial approval for this design work. No future community meetings are planned at this point.
