O . O L .June 2019THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE CITY OF LAKE OSWEGOHello BOONES FERRY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS CONSTRUCTION BEGINS RAMPING UP THIS MONTH! Lake Oswego is embarking on a major milestone! On May 21, Council awarded a contract to Wildish to build the Boones Ferry Road project improvements. Construction is now upon us, which is historic in this decades-long planned project. Work is expected to take about two and a half years to complete. This month, crews are beginning to mobilize equipment to the project area, setting up a construction staging yard (corner of Boones Ferry Road and W. Sunset Drive), marking utilities with paint, and surveying the right-of-way. In mid-June, crews will begin removing approximately 100 trees permitted for removal along the project corridor. During construction, some travel lanes will be closed and traffic will be shifted in the project corridor – but one travel lane will be open in each direction. At times, crews will be working both day and night. There will be delays and disruption, but Boones Ferry Road will remain open during construction, as will local businesses – please support them! For more information, or to sign-up to receive e-newsletters, visit www.boonesferryproject.org, call 503-697-6573 or email info@boonesferryproject.org.

TRUST EVERY DROP YOUR DRINKING WATER IS PURE AND SAFE 2019 Water Quality Report Now Available Lake Oswego’s tap water meets every State and Federal requirement for safe drinking water! Sourced from the Clackamas River - one of the highest quality water sources in the state - your drinking water goes through six stages of treatment and filtration at the state-of-the-art Lake Oswego Tigard Water Treatment Plant, and is tested for over 90 contaminants before reaching your tap. For this high-quality tap water, delivered straight to your home, you pay less than a penny per gallon; compare that to $1.00 for one 16-ounce bottled water that is not required to meet the same rigorous testing standards as tap water. It is easy to take for granted when we turn on our taps we always get clean, fresh water. But knowing your water is important in understanding your health and the quality of life we enjoy. Get to know your water by reading your 2019 Water Quality Report by July 31st and enter to win $100 off your next utility bill! Visit www.lakeoswego.city/2019-water-report to view the report, or call 503-635-0394 to request a mailed copy. CITY HALL PROJECT UPDATE In May, the Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency Board authorized funding for early site work and material procurement for the City Hall project. This benefits the project by providing construction cost certainty for a portion of the project, locks in materials cost, allows the weather sensitive work to be completed during the dry-weather months and it keeps the project moving on schedule. With this approval, you may see some of the following site work starting in June: demolition of 320 and 366 A Ave (buildings east of the existing city hall), excavation, shoring, foundation, utility improvements and tree removal. For more information on this project, please visit www.ci.oswego.or.us/lora/new-city-hall-project. Continued on page 4 4TH OF JULY - DRONE SHOW & MORE It's new, it's exciting!

Backflow assemblies are used to protect drinking water sources from non-potable water. Backflow devices are only present in homes and businesses with irrigation systems, medical equipment, and private pump systems. To help us prevent contamination and ensure the best water quality for everyone, all backflow assemblies must be tested annually by a state certified tester. Testing must be completed by July 15. Following the testing, the results/report need to be submitted to the City’s Public Works Department by your tester. A list of state certified testers can be found online at www.lakeoswego.city/publicworks/backflow-and-cross- connection-control-program. For more information about the City’s cross connection control program, backflow assemblies, or testing requirements, please contact Lake Oswego Public Works at backflow@ci.oswego.or.us or 503- 534-5674. PLASTIC BAG BAN BEGINS JULY 1 In December, City Council passed a plastic bag ban that applies to all retailers, restaurants, and City-sponsored events. The ban goes into effect for retailers larger than 10,000 square feet on July 1, 2019, and all other retailers on January 1, 2020. What bags are included? Only plastic carryout bags provided at the checkout. What bags are not included? Produce bags, bulk food bags, pharmacy prescription bags, flower and dry cleaning bags, plastic bags that contain hot liquid take out items, and bags that you purchase to take home (dog poop, Ziploc, etc). Will all stores charge 10 cents for paper bags? The fee is 10 cents for a paper bag at all retailers larger than 10,000 square feet. Smaller retailers have the option to charge a minimum of 10 cents for a bag or build the price of paper bags into their costs. Where can I get a reusable bag? Reusable bags are sold at most grocery stores, plus we will have bag drop off/pick up boxes at City Hall, ACC, and the Farmers’ Market where residents can drop off bags they don’t need for others to pick up and use. The City will also be distributing 14,000 free reusable bags at events on June 29 and throughout the summer. Why is the City doing this? Plastic bags are in the top five items of collected marine debris. They pose hazards to wildlife and create litter. Plastic bags are not recyclable. When a plastic bag ends up at a materials recovery facility, they frequently jam sorting machinery. Go to www.lakeoswego.city/recycle/ plastic-bag-ban to watch a video illustrating this. How can I get more information? Please visit www.ci.oswego.or.us/recycle/plastic-bag-ban or contact Jenny Slepian at jslepian@lakeoswego.city or 503-635-0291. DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION TASK FORCE The City Council is looking for people to serve on a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force. The task force will focus on identifying barriers to participation on the City’s Boards and Commissions, and identifying methods by which to increase the applicant pool for City job openings. Individuals selected for the task force will meet at least once a month for a total of six months. For an application and more information, please go to www.lakeoswego.city/DiversityTaskForce. Applications are due by Friday, June 21. For questions, please contact Megan Phelan at mphelan@lakeoswego.city. BRIDGE FEASIBILITY STUDY OAK GROVE-LAKE OSWEGO PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE BRIDGE What steps are needed to build a pedestrian/bicycle bridge across the Willamette? Who would own and maintain it? How much would it cost? Clackamas County is leading a Metro-funded study in partnership with the Cities of Lake Oswego and Milwaukie to determine if it is feasible to build a pedestrian/ bicycle bridge between unincorporated Oak Grove and the City of Lake Oswego. Share what you think is important to consider through a survey at www.clackamas.us/transportation/oglo. Take the survey by June 15. Community open houses will be held this summer. Meeting dates and more information will be updated on the County website as well as the City’s. VEGETATION YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES Is the vegetation next to the roadway along your property a hazard? It may be if it restricts visibility at an intersection, obstructs the view of a sign, blocks a street light, impedes traffic or pedestrians, or hinders maintenance work. Lake Oswego City Code requires property owners to keep sidewalks and the public right-of-way adjoining their property free from rocks, leaves, yard clippings, ice, snow and other debris. In addition, property owners must keep sidewalks, streets and the public right-of-way adjoining their property free from projecting or overhanging bushes, brush and limbs that may make the passage of vehicles or pedestrians unsafe. Property owners are responsible for both the clearing and disposal of debris. Branches, leaves and other vegetative growth shall not be allowed to project an elevation of less than 9 feet above the level of the sidewalk and 13.5 feet over a street. If your property is at an intersection, the corner must be kept clear of vegetation over the height of 30 inches for the visibility of vehicles and pedestrians. For more information, contact Traffic Engineer Mike Ward at traffic@lakeoswego.city.
