The final vote for the East County Courthouse is scheduled Thursday, October 28th. It will be in the boardroom at the Multnomah Building (501 SE Hawthorne) and is on the Board of Commissioners meeting agenda for 10:30am. There will be a brief presentation before public comment, then the final board vote. We are confident about this passing but encourage everyone to show their support, whether that includes attending in person or making public comment at the meeting or through a letter to the Commissioners (contact info below the break).
Deconstruction of the existing building (Rockwood Lanes Bowling, Get Map!) has already begun (see photos below) and we anticipate the groundbreaking will be in December (the original plan was January but the project is a little ahead of schedule). According to the timeline, the courthouse will be completed in March of 2012. The design is for two floors and three courtrooms and there will be a final design and timeline available during the presentation on Thursday next week. It will be included in the presentation to the board and accessible through the Weekly Agenda Packet Materials link on the Board Meeting Agenda website beginning next week, October 25th. Once the board votes details will also put it on the Multnomah County East County Courts website.

Take Advantage of Fall Prescription Drug Collections and Empty Your Medicine Cabinets. If you have unused or expired prescription medicines in your home, you can dispose of them safely on Saturday, Sept. 25 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Gresham City Hall. Participants will empty their pill bottles into containers at the drop-off site. Liquid medication must stay in the prescription bottle. No intra-venous solutions, injectables, syringes or medical waste will be accept.
Sometimes we forget the toilet is not a trash can. The City's Wastewater Services asks residents to help keep water sources clean by not flushing unused medications and personal care products down the toilet or sink. In one national study of 139 streams in 30 states, drugs were found in 80% of the samples. In the Potomac River, male fish were discovered producing eggs. While there is no evidence of risk to human health, these products contain compounds detected in trace amounts in aquatic systems even past the wastewater treatment plant. Read more...

Gresham is participating in a nationwide effort to document the number of people biking, walking, skateboarding, and rollerblading on trails and local streets. As part of that effort, City staff is asking for volunteers to help conduct counts and surveys.
The counts will be conducted September 14th, 15th, and 16th from 7 to 9 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., and September 18th and 19th from 9 to 11 a.m. The City has identified 18 locations where counts will be taken:

Volunteers can choose to conduct counts or conduct a short survey. The surveys well help provide information on trip distance, why people use trails, and what types of trials they prefer.
Your participation in this effort will help the City gain valuable information on walking and bicycling:

America's Night Out

When: Tuesday, Aug 3th, 2010 7-10PM
Where: Your Neighborhood!
Last year over 36 million people, from every state, across 15,000 communities participated in events to help make communities safe and raise awareness about anticrime programs.
National Night Out is a time when individuals and groups are encourgaged to gather together after dark in parks and other public places for wholesome activities. The idea is to symbolically reclaim our public spaces by using them, encouraging other people to use them and making the space feel safe, and discouraging illegal and anti-social activity.
So, go ahead -- invite your neighbors -- gather on someone's lawn or porch and turn-on the lights! Celebrate National Night Out 2010. Take a stand. Dont't let crime control your neighborhood.
Call 503-618-2567 or contact Kelle Landavazo at Kelle.Landavazo@GreshamOregon.gov. to register your event and receive National Night Out materials.
