City Council Meeting Notes 05/18/22
WHY IS THE COUNCIL MEETING TOO SPICY TO SKIP ON MY BIRTHDAY? My best friend in the world flew in to see me, but here I am on the couch writing up this post because the god damned Mayor had to god damned resign and I can't miss covering a potential mayoral appointment. Councilor Schenkelberg will also be resigning, and here's a big FUCK YOU to the hate mob that harassed them into making this decision.
On top of all that this meeting is chalk full of agenda items, like a first reading of a pared down version of the shelter code changes from last week, a follow up on STRs, a code amendment that makes it easier to subdivide lots, and a bunch of other garbage stuff. Whyyyyyyyy.
Because of my aforementioned birthday, I am going to TRY to make this a low effort post, except for the mayoral vacancy section at the end, where I promise to do my best. As my father would say; you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. Or alternatively, tough titty said the kitty when the milk went dry. My dad is an aphorism machine. Okay lets go.
My friend Cloudy is going to be watching with me and she's had too many edibles. Shout out to Oregrown.
Work Session
Hey we're live.
Short Term Rental follow-up
Lorelei is here to present. This is a follow up from staff about the stuff that council asked them to look into in March. They were asked to look into increasing the density buffer, proactive enforcement, encouraging STRs to do long term rentals, and increasing fees to increase services.
Increasing the density buffer
The current buffer is 250 feet. That means that there can only be ~1 STR on a block right now because of this density limit. If we change the buffer to 400ft, there could only be about 1 STR every 1.5 blocks. a 500 foot buffer would limit one to every 2 blocks.
Encouraging long-term rentals
Currently there is a requirement that STRs must be used at least one night a year to retain your STR licence. If this requirement can be waived for up to 3 years with a proof of a long-term lease, we could encourage these housing units to be used as long term rentals.
Councilor Kebler wants to know what a long term lease would mean in this situation. It would be longer than 30 days, but the council could specify it explicitly in code.
Enforcement
Right now the city is operating a complaint-driven enforcement model. They receive around 30 complaints a year. This is ~ 2% of the total complaints that the city receives, but it takes up 15 - 20% of their time. They are looking at changing to a proactive model. AirDNA says that there are ~176 properties in violation in city limits. They are currently doing an audit that will be completed in June. To do regular audits we would need to fund additional staff time.
Increasing Fees to Increase Services
To cover the cost of additional enforcement we may need to increase fees. They are currently researching how the fees would need to be increased to pay for proactive enforcement, regular audits, or new programs.
Councilor Goodman Campbell wants staff to explain what measure 56 is for us, the audience. It requires that any property that undergoes a zone change would need to be notified when there is a restriction in privileges. If a property was previously eligible to be an STR and would not be eligible in a change to the buffer limit, they would need to be sent a letter notifying them.
Councilor Barb Campbell says that the 250 ft buffer was chosen because a standard block length when they initially did the regulation was 500ft. The block length has been increased in new developments. In some parts of town 500 feet is not 1 block, it is 3/4 of a block.
What does council want to do? Do we want to increase the buffer? Under any scenario of increasing the buffer, they need to notify land owners.
Councilor Barb Campbell is interested in increasing the buffer to 500ft as an opening bid. Cloudy thinks Barb is cute.
Councilor Broadman reminds people that this is not going to solve the home affordability crisis. He's open to increasing the buffer requirements. He thinks that it's unfair that some neighborhoods have CCNRs in place that prevent STRs.
Councilor Kebler is cool with the 500ft buffer, we can shrink it later if we want.
Councilor Broadman wants to know if anyone has asked that we increase the number of STRs? ~silence~
Councilor Schenkelberg wants to know if there can be different density buffers for different neighborhoods because of the variable block sizes and equity. It is possible, but it is complicated.
Councilor Kebler and Schenkelberg are supportive of having a long term lease waiver, with either a 6 or 12 month lease requirement.
City attorney points out that this would exclude people having month to month leases. Lynne suggests either a 12 month plus requirement or a shorter term 3+ month requirement. A 12 month lease would be easier to manage for staff.
Councilor Kebler wants to talk about how frequently we do the audit. Staff wants to finish the current audit and come back with an educated recommendation for the frequency and fee increase.
Councilor Barb Campbell wants to know if we can fine people who are violating the code enough to pay for the administrative costs. Sounds like ??? who knows.
Sounds like staff is going to move forward with making code changes to increase the buffer requirement to 500 ft, a 12 month long term lease waiver, proactive enforcement with regular audits and raised fees to pay for that.
Water Resources Update
Mike the Utility Director is here to present with some other people. This is an annual update. As for the last several years we've been talking a lot about drought this year is not different. We're still in a drought. The last few years have been exceptionally dry in Central Oregon. Here is a picture. Dark red = bad.
Several dry years in a row have depleted our reservoirs. The river has been very low. The cascades have been blocking precipitation from coming over the mountains. 4 of the 5 reservoirs in the basin were at record low levels last year. The recent wet weather has helped a lot, but we're still in a bad situation. It will take several years of well above precipitation to recover.
Now about Bend's water supply. Most of the Deschutes Basin Water use is in irrigation.
Bend's water supply comes from both surface water and groundwater. This is very unusual, we are the only one in Central Oregon. Yay redundancy. Go us. We have 20 wells in the city, it covers 37% of our annual production.
Unfortunately groundwater in certain areas in the basin have been gradually declining at around a foot a year. The wells that are declining are the wells further from the cascades, like in Redmond. Basically if the well is on the west side of the Sisters Fault Zone, groundwater hasn't been declining. 10 years ago someone did a study and 60-70% of the decline is from climate variation. There has been a long term drying trend since the 1950s. 20 - 40% is from groundwater pumping and canals.
Groundwater Level Decline Rates for Wells in Bend: • No decline/year – 8 wells • 0.5 foot/year decline – ~6 wells • 1 foot/year decline – 6 wells
Going forward we need to monitor water conditions, collaborate with other people in Deschutes County, increase conservation efforts, and educate water users.
Stevens Road Tract Concept Plan
Concept Plan (very pretty PDF)
Hey, remember that survey I shared a few meetings ago about the 3 different plan options for the Stevens Road UGB expansion? We're going to see the results of that survey today!
There were 3 proposed concepts: Alternative 1 has more employment with less housing and parks, Alternative 3 has more housing and parks, but less employment, and Alternative 2 was a middle ground between the two.
Brian is here to present. This is from HB3318 that was approved in late 2021. It allows Bend to add this parcel to the UGB if the plan for the land meets certain requirements. It needs to have affordable and market rate housing, it needs to be a complete community with a variety of land uses. There needs to be multi-modal transportation. The concept plan was sent to the department of land conservation and development and they said it looks good. They did a lot of public outreach, including that survey about it.
ALTERNATIVE 3 WAS OVERWHELMINGLY THE OPTION PEOPLE PREFERRED IN THE SURVEY. Fuck yes. Great job everyone! Staff recommends going with alternative 3.
Before making a master plan, they will do an archaeological inventory in cooperation with warm springs, identify and protect natural features such as trees and outcrops, and make the plan resilient to wildfires.
There will be roundabouts added and on-site bike, pedestrian, and trail systems that will integrate with other trails in the city.
Council is very impressed at how fast staff has been able to get this done, and how good of a job they did. Councilor Kebler thinks that it is super great that Alternative 3 uses a bunch of high density housing to maximize open space. Council is very comfortable moving forward with Alternative 3.
There will be a resolution coming back to Council to adopt the concept plan on June 1st. An intergovernmental agreement should go through this summer, followed by expanding the UGB to add the area into the city.
WTF, this isn't a low effort post at all. I am typing too much. How do I type less? I don't know how.
Regular Session
Brenna Visser tweeted that there are protesters against the shelter code amendments hanging around wearing red white and blue garlands. I'm sure we will see them soon in public comment. photo
The regular meeting began as usual with roll call, the Pledge of Allegiance, and Land Acknowledgment. It's Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
Isn't it great that people standing outside in protest get to execute their first amendment rights just like councilors are able to execute their own by not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance? Asks Councilor Schenkelberg, savagely. Rita is going out with a bang, and I fucking love it.
Update on Temporary Housing Strategies
People here to comment on the shelter code changes, there have been 3 changes to the proposed shelter code, just FYI. They are:
Requiring on-site management
Removing the hardship shelter component
Requiring outreach and communication with Neighborhood Associations
Public Comment
Peter says thank you for your work. He usually complains about traffic enforcement, but tonight he is here to stand for civil civic engagement. People need to be civilized. Mayor Russell is always ready to listen even when people disagree. Thank you for participating and being a dedicated member of our community. You will be missed. Please stay engaged in some form here in Bend.
Ron is a US Navy Veteran hasn't always agreed with Mayor Russell. He appreciates her service. He is very embarrassed about what happened here last meeting. The way that people treated free speech that they disagree with in the last meeting offended him and does not represent the values he fought for. He asks that Rita reconsider her decision to leave. Please respect the decorum and the rules in public comment.
Foster is upset about the two resignations happening today. In losing Rita we are losing a truth teller.
Joanne is sad to see the violence across the country take a heightened turn for the worse. The great replacement theory is very dangerous for people of color in Bend. The city needs to investigate how this is impacting our community. People who have threatened our council members should be reported to the department of justice.
Terry identifies as a married heterosexual male. He identifies as more nonsense and has never been pregnant. He says Ben Franklin says we shouldn't give social support for the poor. Feeding the homeless is like feeding the geese in the park.
Scott is from the Downtown Bend Business Association is here to remind you that there has been progress moving forward in the DBBA. FYI it is tourist season. There are people who are participating and working with the council. Please pay attention. WTF are you talking about Scott?
Mike is here to say something, but I can't hear him because I muted my TV. Just kidding Cloudy made me unmute. He seems to be acting more civil in public comment these days, so I'll try documenting his comments starting next meeting.
Nancy is the first person here with a garland. As a mother she wants you to imaging a grandchild watching a homeless person injecting heroin and doing other shocking stuff, it's happening at Portland shelters.
Ken with a garland also is here with a business perspective. Murphy crossing is a white elephant. Juniper Ridge... bad. This is a social problem not an affordable housing issue. If people can't afford to live here they shouldn't live here. Criminals, and drug users and such. We don't need more housing or tent space.
What about the homeless people that go that won't go to shelters? We know! They go to RVs and tents and such. Screen shelters for sex offenders.
Lady person says thank you for your service Russell and Rita. She doesn't understand why you are stepping down, because she didn't see anyone treat Rita poorly personally. She personally was super respectful last week. Shelter code changes bad. This is Portland.
Lady person is here to talk shit about Councilor Schenkelberg and shelter code changes bad. Why are homeless people homeless anyways? Gimme data, share it. (you could just like.. look for it, you know)
Lady person says homeless people are ruining parks. These aren't local residents. (75% of them are) Mental Illness. Shelter code bad. Military style homeless encampments away from schools. If we don't waste time saying our pronouns -
WHAT THE FUCK says Rita. She asks Mayor Russell to please do something when someone makes trans-phobic comments. Rita, I'm going to miss you so much.
People are freaking out. Mayor Russell calls a point of order. If people keep being inappropriate public comment will be over.
Former councilor person says thank you for your service. Thank you for being in the public eye. Thank you for your service Councilor Schenkelberg. You all live public lives and it is not easy. She was once a councilor too so she understands. Thank you for the decade you have been in public eye Mayor Russell. She wishes her well in her future endeavors.
Linda says she spoke to a lawyer who says that the council is wrong about the legal basis behind the shelter code.
Lady person is a senior at bend senior high. She goes to school with people who are homeless. People don't seem to understand that they don't have anywhere to go. These kids are only able to eat food at school. We need to do something and she is grateful to Councilor Perkins for doing something.
Consent Agenda
Notable Items on the Consent Agenda:
Not going through them because its my birthday. Fight me.
Consent agenda passed without discussion.
Public hearing and first reading of an ordinance to adopt proposed amendments to the Bend Development Code for Senate Bill 458 for middle housing expedited land divisions
The State passed a law that requires cities to make it easier to subdivide lots into smaller lots for middle housing. This amends the development code to comply with the new regulations. Bend needs to densify so this is good shit. This doesn't change what can be built, it gives ownership opportunity. Planning commission is fully on board with this. There are developers excited to use these new rules as soon as this passes.
If you are interested in the details, check out the presentation.
Public Hearing:
No public comment
1st reading passed
First reading of an ordinance to adopt proposed amendments to the Bend Comprehensive Plan and Bend Development Code for the Shelter Code Update (public hearing closed on May 4)
Tonight the Council will be voting on a pared down version of the shelter code amendments we heard so many opinions about last week. It would allow shelters to be built in most zones in bend. On top of the public comment from the last meeting, they have received 800 other pieces of feedback. In reaction to public feedback, they have made the following changes:
Requiring on-site management
Removing the hardship shelter component, so no RVs in driveways.
Medical Hardship Housing will not be removed as was originally proposed.
Requiring outreach and communication with Neighborhood Associations in the good neighbor guidelines
Code enforcement for temporary shelters
The next step for council is regulating where camping is allowed in public places.
Councilor Kebler supports these changes. It lays the groundwork for addressing the homeless situation in Bend. She votes yes.
Councilor Schenkelberg supports these changes. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly on this. It's an honor as a city councilor to be able to provide housing for people. They are still embarrassed about people calling homeless people animals. Cloudy claps. They vote yes.
Councilor Goodman Campbell supports these changes. Bend is a city for everyone. No one is irredeemable. When you house someone, they're no longer houseless. Anyone who lives in bend should be able to call bend home. She votes yes.
Councilor Broadman has talked to hundreds of people. He thinks that there has been a lot of disinformation in the community about what this is. This is a land use decision. We all want Bend to be a great place to live. If you support facilities like Veterans Village, and other services that are helping people, then he hopes you see that there is progress being made. If you don't want the city to regulate where a shelter can go, then it's fair not to support these code changes. He supports this pure land use regulation, we regulate everything important in Bend. This is just that. He votes yes.
Councilor Barb Campbell says it hurts her heart to hear some of the comments about this issue, but most of the comments that the city has received have acknowledged that these are people that need help and the status quo is intolerable. People are afraid of Hunnell Road happening in their neighborhoods. This is exactly the situation that these code changes are trying to fix. The most cruel thing for a child is not understanding why another child is suffering. She was once a chronic alcoholic 20 years ago, and she was only able to survive because she had support. Councilor Goodman Campbell is right, nobody is irredeemable. People need a place to live to get help. She genuinely believes that these changes will give people more certainty about what is and is not allowed in their neighborhoods. Code is not written in stone. These code changes are not undoable. She votes yes.
Councilor Perkins says that 90% of the people have heard her talk about this ad nauseum. She's thinking about all of the 500+ CHILDREN that are homeless in Deschutes county at this moment. She votes yes.
Mayor Russell says that this is such a moment in our community. We are making a change that all of us want and need to see. It will let us work with partners that will let us create the change that every single person in our community wants to see. We need to have guidelines and rules and accountability and that is what this code is, so that we know what is happening and where. We have listened to you and we have adjusted as you can see from this meeting. She was particularly struck by the public comment from the high school student. We need to do the best we can. She votes yes.
All of these comments were moving and well thought out. It's worth watching this part of the meeting if you want to hear the councilor's thoughts first hand.
First reading unanimously passed
First reading of an Ordinance Amending Bend Municipal Code Section 15.10.010 – Use of Public Sewer
The shelter code amendment discussed in the previous agenda item also requires changes to Bend's Municipal Code to allow Outdoor Shelters to be connected to the sewer. It also lets duplexes built on what used to be a single-unit dwelling connected to a septic system, to also be allowed to have a septic system.
First reading unanimously passed
Resolution Amending Council Discretionary Funding Policy (No. CP007) to include Welcoming Week and Juneteenth as official City events
Making these two things official City events allows the city to give money to organizers to help pay for making them happen.
Councilor Schenkelberg proposed to amend the motion to include Central Oregon Pride. It was amended. Awesome!
First reading unanimously passed
Resolution authorizing issuance, sale, execution, and delivery of full faith & credit obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,800,000
"Council is asked to adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the issuance of full faith and credit (FF&C) obligations as presented. It is anticipated that the obligations will be issued in June 2022. The aggregate principal amount of the obligations will not exceed $5,800,000 and will be used to finance the purchase of 154 NE Franklin Avenue (formerly known as the Rainbow Motel), other capital fund projects and costs of issuance."
First reading unanimously passed
Authorize a contract with JAL Construction Inc. for construction of Cooley Talus Road Extensions (1BCTL)
The presentation is 2 slides, one of the slides is a picture of the project. It seems pretty self explanatory. They are extending Cooley and Talus Roads. It's the roads around the future public works building. Construction costs are expensive AF right now btw.
Motion passed
10 minute break because "The next agenda item will likely have a lot of discussion". Editor is showing the IT'S TIME TO STOP meme to Cloudy.
Authorize a Cooperative Improvement Agreement with the State of Oregon through the Oregon Department of Transportation for the US97 and US20 Bend North Corridor Project
This is the next step in the process for doing the improvements to US97 and US20 that was discussed at length in the last meeting.
Russ and ODOT guy are here to present. The project is important because the intersections at Cooley and Robal are dangerous. It is an important freight corridor that is the main north south route in a Cascadia event. It will include adding 4 roundabouts from Tumalo to Bend and improve safety and reduce speeds. They will be developing new 12 ft multiuse paths around these roundabouts. It also improves transportation to Urban Growth Boundary Expansion Areas. It's going to be more expensive than initially expected, mostly because of the previously mentioned high cost of construction.
They added the following language to the project after feedback from the last meeting:
"This agreement also represents a continued partnership between the State and the City working towards multi-modal enhancements to the transportation network within the project area. These scope items reflect a general description of the work, acknowledging that the State and the City will continue to work together to refine design elements and ensure that implementation of such elements will have an emphasis on improved safety, mobility, and connectivity for all modes, within the scope of this Agreement"
Construction is expected to be completed in 2023 for US20, and 2024 for US97. Russ says that this a critical component for developing the north end of town. Especially Juniper Ridge. This project is going to cost the city about 5 million dollars a year for 3 years. There is still time for the city to adjust the specifics until the project is finalized.
Councilor Kebler wants the Transportation Bond Oversight Committee to be involved.
Councilor Broadman is going to vote no, but thanks for everyone for working so congenially. He doesn't think the project is good enough and he doesn't want to fund highways. East west connections should be our priority. This project is going to increase speed, and increase demand which is against the city's climate goals. a sidewalk and crossing third isn't enough mitigation. If this passes, he hopes that this is the start of a new relationship between the city and ODOT.
Councilor Kebler wants to ask about third street. Its going to be limited to 35 mph and it would be repaved, and then handed off to the city. It doesn't make sense to have to go back and add things that the city wants to add and do a whole second construction project. She wants additional commitment from ODOT to get the changes the city wants to add. ODOT says that he's made that commitment as strong as he can. The commitment is there for improving third, but we have to get the highway out of the mix first. The project may not be the best or ideal, but it is a step in the right direction and future compatible. If we get this going there is a lot of room to grow it. Something like this happened and worked well in Redmond.
Councilor Kebler agrees with Broadman that we don't want third street to be a second highway. We want a highway, and a city street.
Manager King suggests that ODOT makes this commitment in writing and agrees to come back to the body about third street improvements.
Councilor Barb Campbell thinks that Broadman's comments are like the comments about the shelter code, that it's not perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect project. She thinks it's remarkable that one of the most complicated parts of this project are the multimodal pathways. What an improvement that a 12 foot separated multimodal path is a part of this construction project. This is a radical change from how ODOT has built the 97 in the past. This road is a vital artery of the city and this project completes the highway and separates it from local roads. She is in support.
Mayor Russell says that we were really lucky to get the infrastructure grant that is paying for most of this project. This is not an opportunity that comes by often. There is a lot of change happening in the town. Retail has been completely changing. The north end of town might be retail now, but it might be something else tomorrow. The highway needs to be functional and safe. Progress is a step by step game.
Motion passed, with Broadman opposing.
Vacancy Discussion
There are two vacancies tonight. The two people leaving will be giving departing remarks and then after they leave, the rest of the councilors will discuss.
Departing Comments
Declaration of Vacancy (Councilor Schenkelberg)
Councilor Schenkelberg thanks everyone that spoke in public comment to support them. This was a difficult decision. People worked super hard to get them elected. They are not one that avoids hard work. They realized while serving the community for the last year, that many members in the community will not. It is hard to listen to people degrade their identity. They have been targeted multiple times in city council meetings and in committees about things that are about who they are. They thank everyone who has supported them. Many people sacrificed a lot for them to be here. Rita hopes that the city of bend reflects. If anyone is interested in doing something like this, reach out to them.
Councilor Kebler doesn't want to cry. She is very sorry to see Rita go. Mayor Russell says that the value of Rita's voice and focus on equity has driven the council and the city to be better. She recognizes how challenging it is to be out front and be in the public eye. Thank you for being a change maker. Councilor Broadman commits to finishing every single thing, and doing it in the way they taught him to do it, which was being unrelenting. Councilor Barb Campbell says for many years that she has been an outspoken member of the community. She has said for years, that Bend is nice. And even when they say mean things to you, they are nice about it. But she has learned in the last year, that Bend isn't nice to everyone. They are nice to Barb because she is a white woman. You have changed things. You have accomplished good for all of the communities that you represent, and we will all be better for it. She will miss Rita's voice. Councilor Perkins is crying, her heart is broken. She feels like the council has failed Rita, and she is so sorry. Councilor Goodman Campbell is so grateful for Rita. We are losing our truth-teller. We will have to step up to fill that role. This might mark the end of their time serving on the council together, but she hopes this doesn't mark the end of their time serving the community together or their friendship.
Declare vacancy in the Office of Mayor
Mayor Russel doesn't know where to start. She grew up in a family where no matter what else you were doing, it was all about contributing back to the community. She has tried to do that throughout her whole life. Her time as Mayor was during a huge time of social and economic change. We have been through generational change. Council and staff have been working tirelessly day in and day out and it has taken its toll. She has served on 5 different councils. She was elected as the most liberal member of council, and she is leaving as the most conservative. We as a community need to keep finding common ground, and she hopes she has done that. She recommends that the council change the charter so that councilors are elected from 4 quadrants of town to improve equity. (Thanks to Brenna for this bit, because I didn't write this right the first time.)
Councilor Kebler is sad to lose our mayor, as you said, we're right in the middle of it. Good luck. Councilor Schenkelberg says that they'll never know the pressure of what it's like to be Mayor. Councilor Broadman knows how much she loves the city, he can only imagine how hard this decision was for her to make. He's grateful for her mentorship and leadership of this body. He's sad to see her go. Councilor Barb Campbell says that Sally is like her sister. They have been AROUND AND AROUND together. She is the person that has made her feel the most supported and appreciated. Sally is gracious and genuinely cares about the community and what people think. It's been a source of conflict. Barb wants to move fast, Sally wants to talk to more people. She is grateful for her service to the community. Sincere thanks. Councilor Perkins thinks that it must have been truly hard to lead the city through these times. Thank you for lifting up voices on the council. Councilor Goodman Campbell says that her time on council would be remembered well. Thank you for your leadership and teaching me to make hard decisions at 9pm. You have changed the way that leadership looks in this community. Enjoy your Wednesday nights, I don't even know what happens on Wednesday nights.
The gavel has been passed to the mayor Pro Tem. Everyone is clapping and Russell and Schenkelberg have left the council.
Discussion and potential appointment of Mayor
The city attorney understands that this is hard. When a member resigns, we need to declare a vacancy. A vacancy for both seats was declared.
Council needs to appoint a new mayor from the council. If they don't there would need to be an appointment process.
Councilor Barb Campbell nominates Mayor Pro Tem Councilor Goodman Campbell for Mayor. (called it) Goodman Campbell accepts the nomination. We're facing daunting challenges. In a time where the entire country feels so divided, it is an honor to serve on a body that is united in a common goal. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Councilor Mayor Kebler supports the nomination. Council unanimously approves.
Councilor Broadman was nominated to be Mayor Pro Tem. Council unanimously approves.
Now we have to declare another vacancy now that Mayor Goodman Campbell exists. So there are still 2 vacancies to fill.
The next step is to appoint a subcommittee to review applications to fill the vacancies to bring back to Council, and narrow the field, if appropriate. The subcommittee is going to be Councilors Perkins, Broadman, and Kebler.
Councilor Kebler asks to include a question asking applicants if they are going to run in November. They will, and the question will be optional.
The application will be posted as early as tonight. The application will close June 1st, potential swearing in June 15th. The vacancies have to be filled within 30 days or it goes to the voters.
Gena Goodman Campbell was sworn in as Mayor. The room claps, meeting adjourned.
