Amend Advertising on Bus Benches Code to allow advertising on City streetcar benches and shelters (amend Code Chapter 17.45)
Meeting 2026-09-09ordinance 2026-212 · Referred to City Council on August 11, 2026 by Public Works Committee
Filed materials: Exhibit A (45.22 KB) Supplemental information - Memo from PBOT (658.68 KB) Committee Staff Summary (145.82 KB) Presentation (August 11, 2026) (1.06 MB) Presentation (June 23, 2026) (1.78 MB)
In plain terms
This is an ordinance that would amend the Advertising on Bus Benches Code (Code Chapter 17.45) to also allow advertising on city streetcar benches and shelters. Currently the code addresses advertising on bus benches; this change would extend that to the seating and shelters at streetcar stops. The facts do not state any fees or revenue figures tied to the change. The Public Works Committee 'continued' the item on June 23, 2026, meaning it postponed further action, and no full-council meeting date is yet scheduled.

The facts do not specify which particular procedures would change. The City Council referred it to the Finance and Governance Committee of the Whole on April 23, 2026 for review, and no further meeting date is yet scheduled.

Amend Code related to prohibitions on possession of firearms within certain City buildings to disallow affirmative defense for persons with concealed handgun licenses (amend Code Sections 3.18.020, 14A.60.010 and 20.12.050)

In plain terms
This is an ordinance that would amend City Code (Sections 3.18.020, 14A.60.010, and 20.12.050) regarding the ban on carrying firearms inside certain city buildings. The change would remove the 'affirmative defense' that currently allows people with concealed handgun licenses to be exempt from that prohibition. An 'affirmative defense' is a legal exception a person can raise to avoid a penalty; removing it for license holders means a concealed handgun license would no longer shield someone from the ban in those buildings. The Community and Public Safety Committee 'continued' the item 'as amended' (changed from the original) on June 16, 2026, postponing further action, and no full-council meeting date is yet scheduled.

In plain terms
This is an ordinance that would add a Psychedelic Health and Safety Code (Code Chapter 14B.140) and create a Portland Psychedelics Advisory Commission. The new code would set health and safety provisions related to psychedelics, and the advisory commission would be a body that gives the city advice on the topic. The facts do not specify the details of the health and safety rules or the commission's makeup. The Community and Public Safety Committee 'continued' the item on June 16, 2026, meaning it postponed further action, and no full-council meeting date is yet scheduled.

This is a presentation scheduled for the June 25, 2026 council meeting that follows up on a budget note from the FY 2025-26 budget — specifically 'Morillo 11,' a directive attached by Councilor Morillo.

This one concerns a Transparency and Information Access Framework, an approach for how the city shares information and makes records accessible to the public. A presentation is informational; the facts do not indicate a vote. The item is newly introduced.
