SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD
Vision of a Sustainable Lake Oswego
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a community that meets the vital human needs of the present without
compromising our ability to meet future needs. This requires consideration of both long-term and short-
term effects on ecological, economic, and community systems. Operating sustainably means that we are
leaving a legacy for the community of Lake Oswego and the planet.
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a place recognized nationally as a model of livability—a unified city with a
vital downtown, a strong sense of neighborhoods, and a harmonious relationship with the natural
environment. The lives of everyone who lives, works, and conducts business in Lake Oswego are
enriched by a wide range of choices in transportation, housing, recreation, and culture. Our
infrastructure is sound, our finances stable, and our citizens and employees healthy and engaged.
SAB Mission & Duties

life sustainability of our community.

whole.
c. Educate and engage the public in efforts to make the community of Lake Oswego, including
residents, businesses, and institutions, more sustainable.

B. City Council Update
Councilor LaMotte shared items from the latest City Council meetings:
• Last meeting discussed moving parks and rec to the golf course. Not a huge discussion, priced
out a rough cut for a new building at the golf course. Should finally be their home.
• Discussed ADUs as an option for affordable housing.Addressed parking and ownership. Still
addressing SDCs tied to affordable housing.

to approve what the state approved to have it on the books
• Having a second meeting in June to address the Civic Center issue.June 12, 6:30pm.
• Paul asked if the Mercantile site will have an affordable housing requirement.John said that the
councilors had a meeting with the developer and it doesn't seem like it will go anywhere, even
after offering lots of alternatives.
C. Climate Action Plan Implementation
Jenny discussed the internal process or updating sustainability plan and reminded everyone that we are
probably a year or so away from implementation.There is a little bit of pushback from City staff on
some of the actions, and some of them may be removed. Important to remember that the Council
resolution was to approve the actions to be included in a revised sustainability plan.The CAP is not
meant to stand on its own.
John suggested putting together work plans for each section of the CAP.
Stephanie suggested putting everything on a fiscal year schedule.
John suggested having small group sessions with staff and SAB to discuss certain actions.
Eliot suggested working with outside groups to help meet the goals.
Bob gave a presentation on the EV fair:
• August 26-cars from dealers, and cars with owners
• Gave some stats on the trend in EV ownership by 2030
• August 23 presentation on EVs
• Discussed SAB sponsorship
• SAB discussed whether this should be a City endorsed event, or let the community lead it,
Stephanie brought up whether the City would support EV friendly policies
• Richard moved that SAB endorse the concept of this fair and cover the costs of the fees
• Eliot suggested using this as an opportunity to collect public comment
• Karl will help Bob with organizing
D. Waste Discussion
Jenny summarized some ideas for carrying out the midterm review for Republic Services.The resolution
will go to the City Council on June 5. After that, we will put a panel together for the review. Drew said he
could provide SAB with some information on innovative recycling options offered by Republic.
