  "summary": "**The council advanced a compromise slate of housing priorities for roughly $20.7 million in unused renter funds on an 8-4 vote but left the underlying resolution unfinished, continuing it to a later meeting.** ([04:00:23](meeting:2026-01-28-1@04:00:23))\n\n## $20.7 million in renter fees splits the council\n\nThe longest fight of the day was over Item 9, a resolution setting priorities for about **$20.7 million** in unspent Rental Services Office money. The three District 1 sponsors — Candace Avalos, Council President Jamie Dunphy and Loretta Smith — replaced their earlier proposal with a new package (Avalos/Smith/Dunphy 3) that Avalos called \"a good faith effort\" to respond to a week of testimony and colleague concerns.\n\nThe revised package kept **$9 million** for rent assistance and reallocated $9 million in emergency housing voucher money: **$5.6 million** to the Broadway Corridor affordable housing project — reverting to rent assistance if matching funds are not secured by December 31 — plus $1 million to the Williams and Russell project, $1.5 million to an SEI project, $500,000 added to down payment assistance, and $400,000 added for eviction defense and a right-to-counsel pilot. Portfolio stabilization dropped to $750,000.\n\nTiffany Koyama Lane (District 3) challenged the Broadway Corridor allocation, saying the Housing Bureau had already committed some $42 million to it, and told colleagues who backed the shift, \"Put your name on it, councilors. Own it publicly\" ([03:00:37](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:00:37)). Elana Pirtle-Guiney (District 2) objected to spreading money over three years: \"I cannot support a slow trickle over 3 years,\" she said, calling the approach \"ridiculous\" ([03:17:37](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:17:37)). Steve Novick (District 3) framed the divide differently, saying the split between rent assistance and building housing was \"not one of values, but really one of levels of optimism\" ([03:18:00](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:18:00)).\n\nEric Zimmerman (District 4) defended the $5.6 million for Broadway Corridor, where he said Block 6 units are 100% regulated. Mitch Green (District 4) supported the new package but pushed a competing idea — using one-time money to buy down mortgage debt on existing affordable units, which he said could cut rents \"by 18%\" over the life of a regulatory agreement ([03:03:53](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:03:53)). Dan Ryan (District 2) complained the item got \"two minutes—count them—two minutes\" in committee before a vote ([03:35:56](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:35:56)).\n\nA motion to call the question on the sponsors' amendment failed **6-6** ([03:25:54](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:25:54)). The amendment itself then passed **8-4** ([04:00:23](meeting:2026-01-28-1@04:00:23)), with Pirtle-Guiney, Ryan, Novick and Olivia Clark (District 4) opposed. A competing amendment revived by Zimmerman from the sponsors' abandoned earlier draft failed **6-6** ([04:01:43](meeting:2026-01-28-1@04:01:43)). Green's rent-buydown amendment was moved but not voted before Dunphy adjourned at the 1:30 deadline; the resolution was continued.\n\nCity attorney advice shaped the debate: Adrienne Delgado told the council the rental registration fee is a restricted fee that cannot flow to the general fund without becoming an improper tax, and that expanded uses require an ordinance with findings. City Administrator Raymond Lee's office said it was not withdrawing its recommendation to send some money to the general fund. Interim Housing Bureau director Michael Bonocore explained the multi-year spending timeline, tied to procurement and to interventions that cross fiscal years.\n\nTestimony ran to more than 20 speakers across two panels. Attorneys from the Commons Law Center said 75% of their clients keep their housing and that representation of tenants rose from 535 (6% of cases) in 2023 to 1,875 in 2024. Crystal Otero said Portland's 211 line took 26,000 rent-assistance calls in 2021 and urged putting the full amount into a rent-assistance fund. Developers including Williams and Russell and REACH Community Development spoke; Madison Moskowitz of REACH called the named-project funding \"not backroom deals.\" TJ McHugh of the Portland Metro Chamber urged restarting production at 6,000 units a year.\n\n## Floor friction\n\nThe session drew repeated procedural clashes. When Novick tried a straw poll to narrow amendments, Smith cut in: \"Point of order. We have amendments on the floor, and I'm not getting ready to do nuance on the, on the, on the dais\" ([03:21:13](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:21:13)). Later, when Novick asked Bonocore which use he would personally prefer, a councilor called \"Point of order... That's not fair,\" and Dunphy withdrew the question ([03:44:57](meeting:2026-01-28-1@03:44:57)).\n\nDuring testimony, John Hollister told Koyama Lane, \"I was traumatized by your thumbs down. That was incredibly unprofessional,\" and said he was shaking ([01:47:34](meeting:2026-01-28-1@01:47:34)); Koyama Lane replied, \"I'm not leaving the caucus\" ([01:47:57](meeting:2026-01-28-1@01:47:57)). Hollister took a break and later apologized, citing \"childhood trauma issues to work on.\"\n\n## Renaming SW Jackson Street\n\nThe council voted to move to second reading an ordinance (Item 7) waiving code requirements to rename three blocks of SW Jackson Street to SW Rose Hill Street, honoring Itway Rose Hill, an educator and former coordinator at PSU's Native American Student and Community Center. Presidents and students from PSU and the Downtown Neighborhood Association testified in support. Novick noted the timing, saying JD Vance had argued Andrew Jackson's defiance of the Supreme Court should model the Trump administration. Pirtle-Guiney asked staff to consider renaming three other blocks of Jackson west of I-405 later. Dunphy reminded the audience clapping is not allowed ([00:50:57](meeting:2026-01-28-1@00:50:57)). Second reading is set for **February 4**.\n\n## Public comment centered on ICE\n\nFive people spoke during open comment, most demanding the city revoke the conditional use permit for the McAdam ICE facility. David Pearl said he was arrested by ICE in June; Deborah Heyman cited City Charter police and safety powers and said federal agents had violated the 12-hour detainment limit. Mark Porras of Portland Cop Watch said city-police union bargaining began January 12 and urged the 48-hour-rule reform from an OIR recommendation. Pearl's profanity drew a call for order, with Dunphy asking speakers to \"keep it professional to the extent possible\" ([00:09:48](meeting:2026-01-28-1@00:09:48)).\n\n## Other business\n\nThe council approved its consent agenda **11-0** with Ryan absent ([00:44:38](meeting:2026-01-28-1@00:44:38)), and passed the second reading of a PBOT sidewalk and curb repair assessment (Item 8) **12-0** ([01:06:45](meeting:2026-01-28-1@01:06:45)). Dunphy presented the 34th annual Steve Lowenstein Trust Award, with a **$10,000** honorarium, to Lainie Tupper of the CLEAR Clinic ([00:28:26](meeting:2026-01-28-1@00:28:26)).\n\n## What's next\n\nThe Rental Services Office resolution is continued to a future meeting; Dunphy suggested the following Thursday, and an implementing ordinance is expected. Green's rent-buydown amendment remains pending. A report on residential vacancy numbers is due **February 28**. The Jackson Street renaming and the two consent-agenda ordinances return for second reading **February 4**.",
