CITY COUNCIL TO SET GOALS FOR 2019
On Saturday, January 12, the City Council

Prior to the goal setting retreat, Council held an
open house and used social media to receive the

BE SAFE, BE SEEN
CITY INITIATES REFLECTOR PROGRAM
The Lake Oswego Adult Community
Center, Police and Public Affairs
Departments have joined together to
provide attachable reflectors to enhance
pedestrian safety. With a goal to
encourage pedestrians to “Be Safe,
Be Seen,” the City is providing
free reflectors to residents. This is
one piece of what we encourage
all pedestrians to include as
part of the safety gear when
walking, running or riding
a bike.
In addition to wearing light
colored clothing as well as
a reflective vest, gloves or hat,
walking left and riding right can increase visibility
and response time for drivers.
Each year, vehicles kill an estimated 5,700
pedestrians. When darkness descends early,
adding extra reflective material can increase
visibility and provide extra seconds for drives to
react and avoid pedestrians.
Stop by City Hall, 380 A Ave, or the Adult
Community Center, 505 G Ave, to pick up a free
reflector.

LOPD INTRODUCES NEW ADULT RESOURCE OFFICER
With an unofficial motto “No Call Too Small” and
services ranging from emergency response to police
and critical medical calls, to criminal investigations, to
working with kids, the Police Department is committed
to serving the Lake Oswego community.
In 2018, with the desire to continually improve its
response to calls, the Police Department initiated a new
Adult Resource Officer (ARO) position. The ARO will
serve as the liaison with the City’s older population,
persons with physical and/or mental health issues, or
those experiencing difficulties with substance abuse by
connecting them to appropriate State and local entities
specializing in health and wellness, drug use interdiction
and treatment facilitation, and other quality of life
programs.
Officer Dawn Pecoraro was selected to fill this new
position. Pecoraro, an Air Force Veteran, has been an
officer with the Lake Oswego Police Department since
2004. Prior to that she was a deputy with the Spokane
County Sheriff’s Office.
“This is a wonderful opportunity,” said Pecoraro of her
new role. “This is a one of a kind position in the State
and we hope to lead the way into a different approach
to community policing. As my position evolves I will
be focusing on older adult services, behavioral health,
domestic violence and substance use issues. I will be the
gatekeeper connecting the needs with the resources.”
As Lake Oswego’s Adult Resource Officer, Pecoraro
will be developing one-on-one connections to ensure
appropriate measures are taken for criminal and/or
quality of life situations involving our older citizens. In
addition, she will be proactively increasing community
awareness of services and programs available to older
adults and others who may be impacted by fraud,
mistreatment, elder abuse, intimidation, or threats.
For more information about this position or to set up
a meeting with Officer Pecoraro, call 503-635-0221 or
email dpecoraro@lakeoswego.city.
BOARD & COMMISSION VACANCIES
The city is seeking applicants for the following:
• Development Review Commission
• Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Advisory Board
• Transportation Advisory Board
For more details, go to www.lakeoswego.city/boc/boards-
commissions-vacancies or contact the City Manager’s Office

SAFE TRAVELING IN WORK ZONES
Whether you are driving, biking or walking, it’s easy to get frustrated when
roadwork slows you down. When that frustration turns to impatience, it can
be dangerous in a work zone. While last year was busy with several public road
and utility projects taking place across Lake Oswego, work isn’t slowing down.
Here are some useful tips for staying safe when traveling through an active
work zone:
• Be prepared for the unexpected,
• Slow down and drive the posted speed limit,
• Keep a safe following distance,
• Obey road crew flaggers and road signs,
• Keep up with traffic,
• Plan ahead and check traffic reports for delays,
• Find an alternate route.
Please be patient – crews are working to improve your roads and utilities! We
thank you for your patience as we make improvements to your infrastructure.
WINTER PREPAREDNESS TIPS
While there might not be snow in the immediate
forecast, it is never a bad idea to be prepared for a
change in the weather! Here are some quick tips on
how to prepare for inclement weather:
• Plan ahead and be prepared. Inclement weather
can last a few hours or a few days. It is best to
be prepared with stocked food, water, and the
necessary equipment ahead of time. Stay up-to-
date with weather alerts and forecasts.
• Winterize your house and vehicle. Clear rain
gutters. Maintain heating equipment, repair
that leaky roof, and weather strip doors and
windows. Buy chains or terrain tires. Practice
putting them on in dry weather and carry them
in your vehicle. Buy shovels and ice scrapers.
• Avoid travel if you can. Stay off the road if
possible. Our Police, Fire, and Public Works
teams are out working 24 hours a day to address
emergencies and clear roads during major
storms. By staying off the road, our crews can
respond and work quickly. Allow our plows,
sanding trucks, and other emergency vehicles to
get out ahead of you to treat the roads.
• Wait until conditions improve. Allow extra time
to reach your destination. Severe winter weather
can change quickly and without warning,
making travel unpredictable. A single snow, ice,
or rain storm can impact each neighborhood
differently depending on weather patterns,
timing, and geography.
• Don’t abandon your vehicle in the roadway.
Abandoned cars block our crews and other
emergency responders. This creates a more
dangerous situation for everyone. If roads are
blocked by a downed tree or unplowed snow,
call Lake Oswego Public Works 503-635-0280.
• If it snows, have fun! Enjoy our winter wonderland.
If you go exploring, dress warmly and watch for
vehicles. Or stay inside and get cozy!
FREE CHILD SAFETY SEAT CLINIC
The Lake Oswego Fire Department and Police Department hold free quarterly safety seat clinics open to all
citizens. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will check for correct installation, damage, recalls, and
size and age appropriateness. Each seat takes about 30 minutes to check. The next clinic will be on February
2, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the Main Fire Station, 300 B Avenue. Call 503-635-0275 during regular
business hours for more information on the clinics.
RADON - IS IT IN YOUR HOME?
You can’t see, smell or taste radon, but it could be
present at a dangerous level in your home. According
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths
among nonsmokers in America and claims the lives
of about 21,000 Americans each year.
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless radioactive
gas released in rock, soil and water that can build
up to dangerous levels inside any home; this means
new and old homes, well sealed and drafty homes,
and homes with or without a basement. The only
way to know if your home has a radon problem is to
test for it. Exposure to radon is a preventable health
risk and testing radon levels in your home can help
prevent unnecessary exposure. If a high radon level is
detected in your home, you can take steps to fix the
problem to protect yourself and your family.
Visit www.epa.gov/radon for more information on
how to test your home for radon, or call the Oregon
Public Health Division Radon Information Line at
971-673-0440.

THE NEED IS CONSTANT - GIVE BLOOD
Every 2 seconds in the United States someone needs
blood. Volunteers who donate blood through the
American Red Cross get the good feeling that comes
from knowing they may have helped save a life.
Blood is a perishable lifesaving product that can only
come from a volunteer blood donor.
After severe winter weather, floods and fires in many
parts of the country, the Red Cross urges eligible
blood donors to help restock and overcome the
