IV. COMMUNITY COMMENTS
Acting Mayor Cadena explained the process for Community Comments.
Angel Arter, Ward 8 resident, stated that the Municipal Code Section 5.03.050.050.01 regarding
the designation of dangerous animals overly applies the classification and recommended that the
City revise the section of the Code with language similar to that of the City of Madras.
Cherish Oliver, Ward 9 resident and owner of Common Fields, reminded the Council of the impact
of the City’s noise regulations to economic and community vitality and urged the Council to be
aware of local businesses and events that will be affected by future changes to the noise ordinance.
Terry Weiss, Ward 1 resident, noted the long-standing issue of homelessness and criticized the
City’s practices of cleaning up homeless encampments.
Mark Weiss, Ward 1 resident, recommended that the City only develop in already developed areas
and shut down the municipal airport to build housing on the property in an effort to balance the
need for adequate housing with the protection of the natural environment.
Christina Rehklau, Ward 9 resident and Executive Director of Visit Corvallis, shared some
indicators of stress on the local tourism industry and requested the City reopen the Osborn Aquatic
Center for regional swim meets, establish a clear and enforceable sound ordinance, and pursue a
Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District.
Tom Jensen, Ward 7 resident, opposed the City’s intent to expand paid parking in Downtown,
recommended that the City allow universal free three-hour parking for visitors and employees and
adequately enforce the system, and expressed concerns that the Gordon Hotel had received one
hundred parking passes.
Justin Schepige, Benton County resident and live music professional, expressed concerns about
complaint-based enforcement of the noise ordinance, which is impossible for events and businesses
to adhere to, and suggested reasonable revisions for improved compliance.
Gabe Shepherd, Ward 1 resident and Benton County Commissioner, spoke about the need for a
Downtown TIF District, urging referral to the November 2026 ballot as a response to Community
Survey results and Downtown business owner needs, and supported changes to the City’s noise
ordinance.
Corvallis City Council Meeting Minutes – February 2, 2026 Page 2 of 7
Kayla Bordelon, Albany resident and Oregon State University faculty member, spoke about the
importance of a Latin dance night in Corvallis and the current noise ordinance’s negative impact
on the event, suggesting changes such as citywide quiet hours, daytime and nighttime decibel limits
measured at the nearest residence or property line, and special permits for exceptions.
Kimi Gatherum, Ward 2 resident, shared information for the memorial to celebrate the life of
community member Josh Browning.
Robin Lancaster, Ward 3 resident, noted the importance of a Downtown TIF District to address
Community Survey economic concerns and highlighted the new Plaza Building as a positive
example of Downtown’s potential.
The City Council received written comments from Sara Bouska, David Mahoney, and Jessica Ruff
regarding the noise ordinance and Rob Upson regarding the financial future of Corvallis
(Attachment A).
V. CONSENT AGENDA
A. Reading of Minutes
i. City Council Meeting – January 20, 2026
ii. City Council Work Session – January 22, 2026
B. Approve revised Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with University of Oregon –
Institute for Policy Research and Engagement (IPRE) Historic Preservation Guidelines
Project
Councilors Ellis and Olson, respectively, moved and seconded to approve the Consent Agenda as written.
The Consent Agenda passed 9-0.
Ayes: Napack, Lewis, Moorefield, Olson, Ellis, Bowden, Shaffer, Mayers, Cadena
Nays: none
VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Social Services Policy update process
Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager Olson and Community Development
Director Bilotta presented the staff report. Councilors desired to review the policy but
agreed that it did not need to be conducted via task force. Councilor Moorefield suggested
the Council make fundamental changes to the policy, such as shifting from mitigating
harms to creating social change, awarding efforts that have a nexus with City services and
priorities, and creating larger impact possibly through larger award amounts. Staff
suggested Councilors use the prioritization process in the policy to focus their application
of the social services funding. Councilors Bowden, Shaffer, and Cadena were also
supportive of exploring a significant change in the policy and there was some discussion
about where such an effort fit in the existing Council work plan. Several Councilors noted
that the current policy functions adequately if the more significant changes are not pursued.
Corvallis City Council Meeting Minutes – February 2, 2026 Page 3 of 7
Councilors Ellis and Olson, respectively, moved and seconded to adopt alternative 2 from
the staff report (creation of a more robust annual priority setting process where the Council
schedules a work session during the summer as part of its two-year calendar to discuss
priorities and then memorializes that decision with a resolution approved during a business
meeting).
The motion passed 9-0.
Ayes: Napack, Lewis, Moorefield, Olson, Ellis, Bowden, Shaffer, Mayers, Cadena
Nays: none
B. Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District discussion (continued)
Community Development Director Bilotta introduced the staff report.
Councilors Shaffer and Bowden, respectively, moved and seconded to authorize and direct
staff to implement a feasibility study with the goal of making a decision that would allow
a TIF District election in November 2026.
Several Councilors spoke in favor of a timely referral to the November 2026 ballot, noting
the value of a feasibility study in understanding the viability of a TIF District and the
support from the Downtown Vitality Strategy Task Force (DVSTF) Subcommittees to
pursue it. Some Councilors expressed concern about the closeness of a November 2026
referral, noting there was still a need to define specific Downtown goals and key projects
(potentially through the recommendations of DVSTF) to achieve adequate voter support,
as had been done in prior TIF District votes. Some Councilors were neutral about the date
of referral, simply emphasizing a well-planned and strategic plan.
There was discussion about whether timing a TIF District referral for a General Election
paired with possible form of government Charter amendments would be beneficial or
whether waiting until May 2027 was preferable to have more time to develop the plan and
less competition on the ballot. Councilors pointed out that the election timing could be
adjusted after the feasibility study was conducted and other TIF District planning was
underway. Staff clarified that a feasibility study would assess financial viability and the
urban renewal plan would provide the detail and vision. Staff explained Council’s role to
chart the path for successful TIF District implementation amidst other City priorities. Staff
will return to the City Council with next steps if direction for a feasibility study is given.
The motion passed 8-1.
Ayes: Napack, Lewis, Olson, Ellis, Bowden, Shaffer, Mayers, Cadena
Nays: Moorefield
C. Vote to appoint Planning Commissioners
City Recorder Downing presented the staff report. Councilor Shaffer addressed a personal
remark made about applicant Ryan Long during the interview process, noting that the
Corvallis City Council Meeting Minutes – February 2, 2026 Page 4 of 7
Councilor could make a fair and impartial decision. Councilor Ellis did not attend the
interviews or review the recording and planned to abstain from the vote.
Councilors voted on paper ballots to appoint Brennan Colberg to the Planning Commission
for a term beginning immediately and ending June 30, 2028 (Position 1) (Attachment B):

Noise ordinance policy
Written comment
Hello,
I've been a member of the lovely Cuban Salsa dancing community in Corvallis since 2010. I lived there for graduate school, then stayed in
Corvallis and got a job there after grad school for 2 more years (until 2015), solely because of the vibrant dance community. I'm now teaching
this dance in Bend- it's shaped a huge part of my life. Even though I now live in Bend, I still come to Corvallis regularly for the community and
dance events, such as the Havana Nights events at Common Fields. When it got shut down so early due to noise, we were confused, to say
the least.
Please take this opportunity to update the noise ordinance to a reasonable, business and community-friendly policy that allows for arts and
cultural events such as ours to occur. Specifically, here's a reasonable suggestion:
* Set citywide quiet hours, such as 10AM-8AM (weeknights) and 11PM-8AM (weekends).
* Set measurable decibel limits, such as 80 dBA (day/evening) and 50 dBA (quiet hours), measured at nearest residence/property line.
* Ensure system for issuing special permits for events in commercial or mixed use zones that would exceed dBA limits.
Thank you kindly for your attention to the noise ordinance policy.
Best,
Sara Bouska

Corvallis noise ordinance
Written comment
I am a Oregon resident for over 50 years. Although I do not live in Corvallis, I frequently drive there to attend events at Common Fields.
I believe that most cities in Oregon have quiet hours beginning at 10 pm in residential areas. Downtown areas are often later to allow
businesses to serve their community members.
In this light, the current time does not appear to be reasonable. Thank you for your consideration. David Mahoney

financial future of Corvallis
Written comment
Mayor &Council,
Your agendasthis week cover several topics important for the financial future of Corvallis.
Are youinterested in input from current and past members of the Budget Commissionadvisory group? When will the
BudgetCommission be brought into the conversation? After Council has already laid out a financial pathway?
A few thoughts for your consideration:
· • Staffmemos talk about the operational budget gap and facility needs. Utility infrastructureneeds
(water/wastewater treatment and distribution) and how to fundthose major upcoming projects is missing. What is
the estimated cost for thosevital infrastructure improvements and when will those costs be incurred? Awholistic
approach to city finances should include all three components.
· • Byapproving local option levies, ratepayers consistently indicate that they valuethe parks and library services. It would
be inconsistent with the voting recordto decrease parks and library services.
· • Isthere an analysis of whether non-residents are paying their fair share of cityoperation costs under negotiated
payment agreements with other organizations,municipal & tax-exempt?
· • Howwould a “vacancy factor” in the biennial budget address the budget gap?
· • Willyou budget for a larger facility reserve, rather than retroactivelyallocating ending fund balance?
· • Bifurcateconstruction of the Law Enforcement Building and the Civic Campus. Managing and paying for both major
projects atonce, in close physical proximity, seems untenable.
· • Attemptto pare down the facilities price tag by 20%. Revisit facility needs. Targetefficiencies. Maximize the technological
opportunities to connect withresidents.
· • Inyour discussion about tax increment financing, will the analysis quantify howinvestment in downtown would draw
from general fund revenues? In other words,it will be more difficult to keep up with inflationary operation expenses
whensome of the non-dedicated revenue is instead dedicated to downtown investmentprojects.
· • Iwant to emphasize that the TIF and Payroll Taxes received poor operational feasibilityscores in the Clearwater
Financial report. They are expensive revenue streamsto manage.
· • Considerhow some of the higher-scoring facility funding revenue streams make it lessattractive to start a business in
Corvallis (e.g. Business Income Tax).
· • Requesta 10-year forecast which includes financial projections after debt is issued,to answer the question, “what level
of debt service is sustainable?

Present State: Oregon & Corvallis Sanctuary Laws/Resolutions

Knowing that many of us are concerned about current federal enforcement actions I thought it might help to index the relevant ordinances
and resolutions from past legislatures and councils that address this and related subjects.
Oregon State Legislature - Oregon was the first "Sanctuary State" in the nation
• 1987 Legislature: HB 2314; ORS 180.805>>180.810; 181A.820>>181A.829
• 2021 Legislature: HB 3265 - Sanctuary Promise Act
• 2025 Reported Violations: 2025 Sanctuary Promise Legislative Report.pdf
• 2026 Proposed short session legislation: Oregon lawmakers on plans to combat increased immigration
