June 11, 2025 Councilor Clark Clark 01 – Motion to Amend Attachment D and add a budget note to support the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub The CEI hub represents a potential disaster of enormous scale to the City of Portland as well as the State of Oregon. The Portland Bureau of Planning, in conjunction with the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management, will convene an inter-agency work group with representatives from federal, state, regional and local jurisdictions to coordinate responses, technical comments on policy and code proposals from the CEI Policy Project. In addition, this group will continue to clarify roles and responsibilities for regulating activities at the fuel terminals, mitigating risk and responding to emergencies. In order to support this broad conversation, both the Public Safety and Community & Economic Development Service areas will find the internal resources necessary to facilitate coordination, outreach and engagement of key stakeholders for the long-term success of the initiative. Council directs the DCA’s of Community and Economic Development and Community Safety Service Areas to provide a report on the status of this work to the appropriate committee by January 1, 2026. The Bureaus will provide the City Council with quarterly reports documenting the inter-agency efforts.

June 11, 2025 activated neighborhood parks and provided community-centered programs for residents. This has led to a loss of community cohesion, social connection and mental and physical health, particularly in youth. At the same time, community-based organizations (CBOs) and non-profits have demonstrated capacity to deliver services in partnership with government and can play a critical role in sustaining community access. Models such as the volunteer Park Attendant and Park Stewards or the work of the Sellwood Community House restoration are excellent examples of this. The City embraces community public and private partnerships as an essential strategy. Citizen volunteers, CBOs, nonprofits, District Coalitions, neighborhood associations and others are essential to rebuilding and sustaining robust public programs and services that serve every Portland neighborhood equitably. The City Public Works Service area is directed to develop a “Community Partnership Support Framework”. The Framework will prioritize an inventory of programs and services appropriate for a partnership-based delivery model, with a plan to begin exploring a transition. In addition, the Framework will identify City programs or services that have been canceled, suspended or significantly reduced due to fiscal constraints. Further, the Service area will conduct a process to identify and support qualified CBOs, private and nonprofit organizations, neighborhood associations or grassroots partners who can deliver services that have ended or would otherwise be lost. The Service area will develop a proposal for seed-funding, technical assistance, access to City-owned spaces, data sharing and other resources to support successfully launching service transition by community partners. This process must streamline funding and compliance processes to reduce administrative burdens on small or emerging community partners, particularly these historically excluded from government partnerships. Funding to implement this framework shall be identified within existing bureaus budgets, contingency reserves, or reallocated program savings with consideration given to establishing a dedicated fund for transitional and strategic planning efforts. The Public Works DCA will report on the progress on this Community Partnership Support Framework at the appropriate committee on February 1, 2026. 7
