Next Up at City Council, 10/15/08

Once again, my review of the Portland City Council Agenda for the coming week will be brief. As it turns out, though, it’s a relatively quiet week.

1401 TIME CERTAIN: 9:30 AM – Adopt the City of Portland Sweatshop Free Procurement Policy and Code of Conduct for apparel contractors (Resolution introduced by Commissioner Adams)

Explanation in the Resolution.

Then 21 contract-y items, and two street vacations (the latter being where a street stops being a public right-of-way and the land becomes the private property of the adjacent landowners). Some settlements regarding the Police bureau and union seem to provide the only potential for controversy. The contract I am most glad to see:

*1416 Authorize a grant to Linnton Community Center for operational costs (Ordinance)

Volunteers in Linnton do amazing work providing services at their independent community center.

No City Council meeting Wednesday p.m. or Thursday.
