Both Healthy Kids, Healthy Portland and Clean Water Portland presented the pro and con arguments
related to fluoridating Portlands water supply. Neighbors had questions for both sides and those were
answered by both speakers.
Officers Ruppel and Gallagher attended from the Prostitution Team (mostly along 82nd
and online.) The
officer said that some additional prostitution has been taking place along Foster and also on Sandy Blvd.
There have been some concerns coming up around 77th
and Harold and a homeless camp on the
sidewalk that may be related to prostitution as well. Budget cuts from Police, and other programs thathelp women trying to get out of prostitution at Lifeworks and through the District Attorneys office may
be cut in this budget cycle as well. Kelly Cloyd from the DAs office prosecutes these cases . They
encouraged residents to contact them with specific issues; and to contact the City (Mayor and
Commissioners) to advocate for anti-prostitution efforts to be funded this budget cycle. They can
contact Kelley Cloyd ([email protected]) and Jeff Ruppel ([email protected]).
Nathan Teskey from Hacienda CDC attended to talk about the Portland Mercado project. The site is the
former Metro Auto Wholesale site at 72nd
and Foster. The project is entering the final design phase (with
Scott Edwards Architects). The goal is to make it possible for small businesses to succeed. They would
like neighbors to give feedback on what amenities we would like. Neighbors filled out surveys asking us
to rank possible offerings. There will be a Depave event at this site this fall; opening is slated for spring
2014.
June 4th
