Election Notice of Measure # 3-632

CITY OF WILSONVILLE

NOTICE OF MEASURE # 3-632

            NOTICE is hereby given that on May 19, 2026, an election will be held within the boundaries of the City of Wilsonville, located in Clackamas and Washington Counties, Oregon. The following question will be submitted to the qualified voters thereof:

Measure # 3-632

CAPTION:        Amends Charter to require voter approval for Urban Renewal Plans.

QUESTION:     Should the Wilsonville Charter be amended to require voter notification and approval to create or substantially change Urban Renewal Plans?

SUMMARY:     This measure amends the Wilsonville Charter to require voter approval for the creation of, or substantial changes to, Urban Renewal Plans (“Plans”). The City would be required to provide public notice when an election will authorize new urban renewal indebtedness, including borrowing amount, duration of debt, total estimated amount of repayment, effects on taxing districts, and feasibility study assumptions relating to additional housing units and commercial and industrial square footage, when applicable.

If the Urban Renewal Agency (“Agency”) remains active after the retirement of all urban renewal indebtedness in existing Plans and no new Plans are approved during the four-year period following the indebtedness retirement, the City must undertake an advisory vote by the local electorate whether the Agency should remain active. If the majority of voters support retaining the Agency, the City Council may consider proposed Plans for an additional four-year period.
