TD Council Approves New Governance For Urban Renewal

The Dalles City Council voted unanimously to approve a new governance structure for the Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency.  The agency has been governed since 1998 with a board made up of the Mayor and the City Council, backed by an advisory committee, and the new format will have a single nine person board with three Councilors, two members of the public, and one representative each from the Port of The Dalles, Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue, Wasco County, and Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation District.  Mayor Steve Lawrence says the goal is to streamline decision making.  When the urban renewal agency was first formed in 1990, it utilized a single board structure.
