Good News for Rivergrove--Another Large Grant!
Rivergrove has received a $100,000 Small Cities grant from ODOT, for the resurfacing of Marlin, Tualamere, and the western portion of Dogwood. This grant, perhaps the largest in Rivergrove history, was the brainchild of Councilor Susie Lahsene, who enlisted the help of Clackamas County’s Transportation Department to apply for it. Our thanks, not only to Councilor Lahsene but also to Clackamas County, who will be working with Rivergrove to pave these roads and who will contribute financially to the project.
Oregon Toll Program
Welcome to Our New Planner: Kirk Fatland
In August, a select committee of Planning Commission and Council members nominated Kirk Fatland to be our new City Planner. Council voted to confirm this at their August meeting. Kirk is an employee of Tenneson Engineering, headquartered in The Dalles, although he personally lives in the Portland area. He has experience as planner for many other smaller Oregon cities east of the Cascades, such as Condon and Metolius. We look forward to seeing him at his first Rivergrove meeting on October 4th.

Message on Citizen Enforcement
MESSAGE TO ALL RIVERGROVE CITIZENS
The City Attorney notes that Citizen enforcement can be problematic. If done properly, it’s possible, but more often it does become harassment or worse. He feels that it’s best that enforcement be left to professionals. He is not certain he sees a path that would lead to City liability from citizen enforcement, if we’ve explicitly encouraged citizens not to do so. Residents were warned of such actions in 2018.
However, he notes the reality is that the City could be pulled into a lawsuit, even if there is no path to liability. Although it is likely that such a lawsuit would be covered by the City’s insurance coverage, it would still be a potential drain on city resources, which the City cannot afford.
For these reasons, the City and OSMB does not condone this sort of activity by our residents. Residents should never take enforcement issues into their own hands.

Fire Emergency During Dry Weather
The combination of gusty east winds and clear skies will result in very low humidity across the region. Along with a prolonged stretch of dry weather, we’ll see unseasonably high fire danger for the next several days. This pattern is the result of an entrenched high-pressure system to the east of the cascades and a thermal trough to the west. Humidity is at 17% at Hillsboro Airport right now on. Winds will diminish Wednesday but humidity will remain low. Another round of gusty east winds is expected later this week. Fire danger should remain high through the weekend.
