🥵Tips to protect yourself when it’s hot and smoky. 🧊 Get cool first 🏠 Stay indoors ✅ Cool, clean air is the goal 🩺 If you have a medical condition or are in a vulnerable population, talk to your doctor to make a plan Getting too hot is more dangerous than smoke exposure for most people at risk.

We had an executive session to discuss the term sheet. Soon after we went into a long council session. At no point during the executive session did we reach consensus on the term sheet, let alone get a temp check. Even if it’s a “draft,” it sends the impression this is our starting offer. It’s not.

Type II land use decision incoming in NW. For those following all things land use related to storage, load / unloading of asphalt and liquid fuels in the CEI Hub and adjacent area you’ll want to mark your calendar for Tuesday July 28 at 10:30 to listen to an Early Assistance meeting with PP&D.

City of Portland, Oregon Portland Permitting & Development Office of the Director ric Kutch, Direct one: (503) 823-730 TTY: 711 www.portland.gov/ppd July 14, 2026 To: Mayor Willson and Member of the Portland City Council From: Eric Kutch, Director, Portland Permitting & Development CC: City Administrator C. Lee Ill and Deputy City Administrator Donnie Oliveria Subject: Overview of the upcoming Early Assistance meeting with McCall Terminals and PP&D Background McCall Terminals will meet with Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) - alongside the Bureau of Planning & Sustainability (BPS),and Portland Fire & Rescue (Fire) - on July 28 for an optional early assistance to discuss the potential permitting and land use needs associated with their proposal to demolish an existing building on their property in order to extend rail infrastructure onto an adjacent property, as well as associated site, utility, piping, electrical and operational improvements. A preliminary and unofficial review by PP&D's land use team of the application materials indicates a land use review may not be required. This pre-application conference will allow this team to further explore these pre-application materials in discussion with representatives from McCall Terminals. McCall Terminal's Proposal Per the pre-application materials submitted by McCall Terminal, they are proposing "an extension of the existing rail infrastructure at the NW Front Avenue terminal in Portland, Oregon. The project would include demolition of an existing building [noted 'A' in the image below*), extension of the rail yard (current rails noted 'B' in the image below*) onto the adjacent property, installation of new rail infrastructure for loading and unloading asphalt and liquid fuel product, and associated site, utility, piping, electrical, and operational improvements (general area where work will happen noted 'C' in the image below*]." *Map of McCall Terminal site, with general locations of proposed project noted in red letters (image and italicized notations in above paragraph have been created for the purpose of this document and are not a part of the pre-application materials) Both properties are private property owned by McCall Terminals, though the adjacent property is currently operated by Brenntag Pacific. Per pre-application materials, "The proposed improvements would increase operational flexibility and improve the terminal's ability to receive, stage, load, and unload asphalt and fuel products by rail. The Project would include demolition of the existing Brenntag building, improvements to rail infrastructure, new rail loading and unloading infrastructure, utility upgrades, stormwater improvements, and associated operational infrastructure." Early Assistance Meeting Details This online meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 28 at 10:30 a.m. for a 90-minute meeting. Participants of the meeting will include representatives from McCall Terminals, PP&D, BPS, and Fire. The meeting will be publicly posted on Friday, July 17. The public is welcome to attend the meeting via the Zoom webinar; however, they will not be able to provide comments or otherwise participate in the meeting. Potential Land Use Review While we are too early in this process to make an official determination of what types of review will be needed, an early look at materials provided by McCall Terminals indicate a land use review may not be needed for this project. Based on these details, should a review be needed, it would likely be a Type II Greenway review. Greenway Review is required for many projects that occur within the Greenway overlay zones (''n", "r", 'g", "i", and "q" overlays). The Greenway Review is required to address issues of public access, 2Decision Making Authority In the Type Il procedure, the decision is made by PP&D staff. Upon receiving a complete application, notice of the applicant's request is mailed to all property owners within 150 feet of the site. Notice is also sent to the recognized associations within 400 feet of the site. The public comment period is 21 days. A decision will be made within 28 days of receiving a complete application. Once a decision has been made, a notice is mailed to all property owners within 150 feet of the site, to recognized organizations where the site is located and those located within 400 feet of the site, as well as to any person who submitted written comments. The decision may be appealed by anyone, including the applicant, within 14 days of the mailing of the notice of decision. Generally, there is a fee for appealing the decision. However, there is no fee for organizations recognized by the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (typically neighborhood associations, district coalitions, and business district associations) appealing a land use decision for property within the organization's boundaries. The vote to appeal must be in accordance with the organization's bylaws. If the decision is appealed, notice of appeal will be mailed within five days and there will be a public hearing scheduled within 21 days of that mailing. The hearing will take place in front of the Hearings Office. The decision of the Hearings Officer is final at the local level but may be appealed to the State Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). Next Steps Following the meeting with McCall Terminals on Tuesday, July 28 at 10:30 a.m., written responses are completed by City reviewers identifying regulations that apply to the project. PP&D will continue to work with the team, should they choose to pursue the project and apply for relevant permits. Depending on what they ultimately decide to pursue, it may or may not trigger a land use review.

Yesterday, our community was shaken by a devastating traffic tragedy. One life was lost, and just minutes before, another person was left fighting for theirs in a separate crash. My heart aches for the families left behind and for everyone in our community feeling the weight of this loss.

A deadly crash involving a motorcycle has shut down part of East Burnside Street in Portland, with crews on the scene at Burnside and Northeast 24th Avenue.

I’m unsettled by the Mayor’s newsletter today re: Moda. Rather than acknowledge that there are very real concerns about how this process has unfolded, he chose instead to cast critique as short-sighted and opportunistic in an effort to deflect from the impressive lack of rigor to date on his part.

This morning, I joined OPB’S Ronaldo Hernandez and Portland Police Chief Bob Day on “Think Out Loud” to discuss the “Right to Know Who is Policing You” ordinance I co-sponsored, led by Councilor Sameer Kanal www.opb.org/article/2026...

Portland councilors approve mask ban for law enforcement

Portland City Council passed a policy, banning masks for law enforcement agents of all kind. We'll hear from a councilor who co-sponsored the bill and from the PPB chief to learn more.

Over the past year I have heard from community members, immigrant families, healthcare workers, advocates, and neighbors who all share a common understanding: Portlanders deserve to know who is policing their communities. Last week this ordinance passed 8-4!

RIGHTTO KNOW WHO'S POLICING YOU passed It's time for a new standard of accountability in Portland.
Councilor Angelita Morillo@councilormorillo.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Council has three powers: legislate, allocate money, & do oversight. Half this council is uninterested in oversight. Whether it’s checking contracts with oil companies, investigating undisclosed housing funds, or figuring out how unhoused people are abused in our shelters, they’re not interested.
