Look around you at the small towns in the area that have sunk into chaos trying to function under this model. The present council/strong-city-manager system cannot possibly work. No matter how good their intentions, City Council is outnumbered, outflanked and many times starved of information they need to govern. $3,500 a day? Some of our streets resemble logging roads, we owe TriMet a huge wad of money because were supposed to honor our commitments when they arent, and were in a budget crunch? Hello? Tune back to the reality show.Īnother hint: The main reason Milwaukie is dysfunctional is that the elected part-time councilors cannot possibly keep up with a full-time city manager and a huge staff of planners and engineers. The idea brought forth by City Council to hire consultants to study the dysfunction is, in itself, straight out of horror fiction. Not all at once every session, but theres usually something for everybody at every meeting. Theres no discussion in most Milwaukie homes on City Council night regarding Whatll we watch on the tube? Humor, game show, reality, pathos, drama? Its all there on Government Channel 30. ĭysfunction at City Hall? In Milwaukie?

They say that the students from Concord wouldnt fill the classes as much, but the classrooms are full as it is! Their talking points for choosing Concord are shaky, and some even just not true (they said Concord has a severe collapse risk in the event of an earthquake, but according a geological survey in 2006 it is only moderate, same as the other schools). They have had many opportunities to address this before it became an issue about closure, but they didnt explore any of those chances. Yet the way they speak and act it seems they have already made the decision for closure. The school district tells us that this is only a recommendation, and that its not final. Starting a new school is scary, especially when your friends were transferred to another school. Losing this school will not only break the hearts of all those who attended, but truly break the hearts of those currently attending. It is a great school with great teachers and an awesome community. My son currently attends Concord, and I attended Concord when when I was his age.
