Janurary 22, 2021  — At the January 21, 2021, meeting, the Council voted in favor of supporting House Bill 2497. Sponsored by State House Rep. Courtney Neron, HB 2497 develops a process for local City and County governments and the Oregon Department of Aviation to work together to update the Aurora Airport Master Plan. The bill’s intent is to guide a collaborative and transparent process aimed at reaching solutions rather than requiring parties to seek remedies through litigation.  

In accordance with Oregon budget law, the City Council and the Urban Renewal Agency each held public hearings to approve supplemental budget adjustments to accommodate a number of recent and future projects, including an $80,000 program to provide additional COVID-19 relief funds to Wilsonville restaurants to help mitigate financial losses.
