9. Add Psychedelic Health and Safety Code and create the Portland Psychedelics Advisory Commission (add Code Chapter 14B.140) (Ordinance)
“Yeah, thank you, Council President. Thank you to the councilors who brought this forward, and, and thank you to everyone who's here in support. I, I've seen Courtney and Nate and Max at so many of these, these things over the, uh, 4 meetings we've discussed this at. This was at CAPS on June 2nd, on July 7th, and on August 4th. Um, good policy takes time. And that's, that's, I think we're, we're trying to get to a place where we work through things in committee for the most part. Um, but I also know that I, I, I, um, I'm seeing the end of the tunnel on this one for the vote and looking forward to that. Uh, I also just, I, I appreciate how the members of that committee engaged with curiosity and good faith throughout this. Um, I really appreciate the, the things you shared and, and the vulnerability shown as well. Um, and I think this relates to the broader conversation about prioritiza…”
8. \Amend Fire Regulations Code to adopt current Oregon Fire Code with City amendments (amend Code Title 31) (Emergency ordinance)
“Okay, so just wanted to, this, everything other than the amendment, the ordinance should pass. Uh, it's, it was very straightforward at the, uh, at the committee. Um, for the amendment, is this just a copy-paste of the part that's being removed from the code in Title 31? It's a pretty big thing to be called technical, uh, in terms of number of lines. So I'm just kind of, and I appreciate you using the word conforming because I think that's more accurate, but can I Where does this text come from?”
7. \Pay settlement of Joseph Rios bodily injury lawsuit in the sum of $125,000 resulting from a bicycle crash involving Portland Bureau of Transportation (Emergency ordinance)
“This is kind of, um, an awkward pause, so I'll take the opportunity to ask Councilor Lee, maybe going forward, I want to first commend that prior to us taking office in January 2025, the claims data was not there at all. That's a new thing that's been done, and it's been a dramatic improvement. I might suggest that it might be helpful to have, even if the answer is no, we haven't done anything, just include, I'm going to ask this question on every settlement. So it might be helpful to just kind of pre-answer it because I used to ask what's the 1-year data? What's the 5-year data? Now I don't have to because it's in here. So I think it's helpful for us because I don't think anybody up here wants to get sued for the same stuff repeatedly. And so it might be helpful just to know if any action was taken by the respective bureau, which is different in every case, even if that answer is no,…”
1. Agenda approval / Motion to reorder the agenda
“Thanks. Broadly supportive of this. I just wanted to ask if why 6 was not also being reordered. I'm concerned that that one might take up enough time to cause the same issues.”
5. \Appropriate grant award of $103,069 for expanded traffic enforcement (Emergency ordinance)
“I just want to point everyone to the presentation that was filed by the Grants Management Division, and maybe, Ben, if you can speak to this. What it says that it does, the first thing on it is officer training time and associated benefits. The second thing is mobile citation printers and associated supplies, crash investigation drones, and a dedicated crash investigation computer. And then it talks about things that are not expense-based below that. But my assumption is that the order of that was intentional, that putting the training time first meant that a significant portion of this is training time. I also think there's a broader question to be had about the operations versus capital. I think it's been clear that both the charter, which I think is the actual thing that matters here, and the code that attempted to change that discussed the annual budget. So we can have that broade…”
4. \Appropriate grant award of $207,411 for speed racing street takeover (Emergency ordinance)
“Okay, so with that said, we've had this conversation before, but the charter text is not actually the text that was, that Councilor Ryan was referring to. It was actually the code text that was being referred to there, which is the piece about the annual, the conclusion of the budget cycle. That's in code. And this has come up for a couple years now. And for a couple years, it's been a topic of conversation whether or not the code can narrow the definition of operational budget. It hasn't really been a particular, it's been a moot point in many cases because it hasn't actually been affected by particular council decisions. But philosophically, it's been an underlying thing that has not been resolved. Last year in the Towel. I believe it was Green 13. There was a budget note that created a public safety set-aside, or budget amendment, I apologize, that created a public safety set-aside…”
5. Update on local transportation funding: investment strategy, non-residential methodology, and financial assistance (Presentation)
“Thank you, Chair Clark. Thanks everybody for being here and for the presentation. First, uh, just wanted to say, uh, I appreciate how much work's been done since the last time, um, in, in pretty much every area of this. It's been, um, noticeable, um, in particular the outreach piece. I, I really appreciated seeing that slide. Um, I particularly also appreciate that, that the financial assistance delivery, that there wasn't a predetermined outcome to that. That was really important to me, and I appreciate that that's been broadened. Speaking on the financial assistance piece, one of the challenges that we're facing is, you know, there's cost associated with how the discount is delivered. There's overhead, you know, all those different things. And without knowing the relative cost of that compared to the revenue received by that particular subset of folks who are not billed directly, it…”

Hear this moment
13. Motion to Postpone Reconsideration of Item 13: Consent to franchise transfer from Zenith Energy Terminals Holdings LLC to ISQ Springer Holdings, LLC (amend Ordinance 188554)
“So, okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna just say it's hard because We're trying to be responsible here, and when I say we, I do mean all of us who are here. And also, we have a resolved issue, maybe not to everyone's liking how it was resolved. There was a vote, and we're talking about reopening it, and it's, if it's going to be reopened just to change the outcome of the vote, that's not a good reason. And in fact, if you go into Robert's Rules, it actually says that's not a good reason unless someone's actually changing their mind. It's But if there's a reason to change it in terms of amending the document, that makes sense. And I appreciate that. The problem is we have no way of knowing that for obvious reasons. So I think in order to give my colleagues time to determine what it is that we could change, I would move to postpone the vote on reconsidering until next week.”
16. Urge the City Administrator to refrain from signing data center non-disclosure agreements, notify City Council of inquiries for data center deals, and engage in transparent public processes related to data centers (Resolution)
“Thanks, Council President. Thanks to my co-sponsors. I'm happy to join in bringing this forward. Broadly speaking, NDAs are bad. We've seen them be used in other cities to prevent public awareness of and input into development that impacts their neighborhoods and to shield decision makers from community opposition. And accountability. Uh, this resolution would declare that transparency should be standard practice in Portland, and I hope a step towards saying that, um, transparency must be standard practice in Portland. We have a right to know if the city administration is considering allowing data centers in our communities, and we as Portlanders' representatives on the city councilors have an opportunity today to take a proactive step to build public trust by saying no decisions about you without you at least being aware of it. And ideally involved in it. By further signaling our int…”
Council Discussion and Final Q&A
“Thanks. Um, first I want to commend, uh, the presenters and, and specifically BPS. I think that the fact that there was enough time and possibility for advocates to come up with amendments was because of transparency through the process, and I think that's worth acknowledging. And, and I'm, I'm seeing not I don't think that there would have been the ability to have counterproposals if this was the first time people were hearing things. I struggle with the idea of not approaching this with a public safety lens and not approaching this with PBEM here. I am not interested in how readily available fuel is in a world in which thousands of Portlanders are dead. I, that's not of, uh, of, of an interest to me. I, I think, um, the, the hierarchy of verbs is important. The hierarchy of needs is also important. And I, I think we are living beings before we are consumers of fuel and anything else…”
13. Motion to Reconsider Item 13: Consent to franchise transfer from Zenith Energy Terminals Holdings LLC to ISQ Springer Holdings, LLC (amend Ordinance 188554)
“I was reading that you're right that it doesn't necessarily preclude that an absence would be considered a no vote in another or broader context. That's correct. I was responding to Council President's point about Um, about the, in the context of the tiebreak was what we're talking about here. In terms of absence, it doesn't really come up except in the code, except as it relates to the, the absence of the president and the sort of vice president presiding. In that case, that's the only place that the word absence appears other than the tiebreaking, uh, there. But my understanding from reconsideration is that the prevailing side okay, the key, um, in the interest, .”
15. \Appropriate grant award of $103,069 for expanded traffic enforcement (Emergency ordinance)
“Yeah, so there's a concept called the veil of darkness that I think is worth bringing up here. And it has to do with the, if there's a disparity in the rates of stops, by racial category of drivers during the day versus at night. And in fact, the quote that I gave earlier from Chief Day was in his response to a recommendation from PCAP recommending veil of darkness analysis. And he noted in his response that PPB doesn't do it directly, but the state does it for PPB data. So that's important to note. I've also done ride-alongs at night. I want to step back for a second and say racial disparity in the aggregate stops data does not necessarily mean anything about individual police officers, right? There are systemic reasons in terms of where people are deployed that affects who's going to get stopped, right? That doesn't necessarily mean that an individual officer is making a choice base…”

Procedure

Motions they made.

Since January 2025. Includes recorded Council and committee motions on amendments, procedure, and substantive items where this Councilor is named as mover, regardless of outcome. Seconding or sponsoring an item alone does not count. Coverage depends on published records and successful extraction; this is not a complete inventory of every motion made. Earlier City Commissioner service is excluded.

Counting correction, September 10, 2026: totals and lists now exclude inactive duplicate records and count an explicitly combined motion repeated under multiple agenda items once. Separate motions with identical wording remain separate. Original source records are preserved.
