In late 2020 the Collections Team of the library-wide DEI Committee agreed to launch a diversity audit to assess the current collection for its representation of diverse groups and populations.  We wanted an answer to the question, “Who are our books about?”  Diversity audits can be used to collect data on any number of factors, including workplace demographics, services and programs, and collections.

Request to modify a condition of approval from land use file #CSU-2017-007, which approved a major renovation of the Milwaukie High School campus. The condition in question required dedication of public right-of-way (ROW) at the east end of Adams Street for a future connection to 23^rd Avenue on the school campus. The modification would require a public access easement instead of ROW dedication; although a future full-street improvement is unlikely, the City wishes to preserve the option for a future bicycle/pedestrian connection.

For the most recent development report please see Supporting Documents, below.
