The measure was introduced by Councilors Mitch Green (District 4), Elana Pirtle-Guiney (District 2), Angelita Morillo (District 3), and Tiffany Koyama Lane (District 3). Pirtle-Guiney thanked advocates and \"Commander Shaning with the Portland Police Bureau who worked alongside us to make sure that this did in fact align with their current practices\" ([00:22:34](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:22:34)). Koyama Lane said hearing the first-reading testimony was \"really moving\" ([00:23:16](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:23:16)).\n\n## Fire fee schedule and three transportation items advance\n\nFour ordinances cleared their first reading and were set for a second reading on **Oct. 7**.\n\nThe council advanced an amended Portland Fire & Rescue fee schedule, which aligns permit, inspection, and service fees closer to the cost of providing them, removes the permit fee for retail fireworks sales in structures or tents, and adds fees for fire-system testing and an annual laser display permit. Council Policy Analyst Kevin Alvarez said the Community and Public Safety Committee approved one amendment removing the emergency clause ([00:31:20](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:31:20)). Councilor Sameer Kanal (District 2) said he offered that amendment to give the public 12 days rather than 5 to react before the fees take effect, adding he supports the increases and wants Fire to reach full cost recovery \"within the next year\" ([00:36:56](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:36:56)). Angela Wright, budget analyst for Fire, told Koyama Lane there is no directly comparable surrounding jurisdiction because Portland runs one fire bureau while neighbors operate as districts ([00:33:48](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:33:48)). Pirtle-Guiney asked that the move to full cost recovery not inadvertently remove fee incentives for safety systems ([00:38:26](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:38:26)).\n\nTwo Bureau of Transportation ordinances authorizing the acquisition of temporary property rights through the city's eminent domain authority — for the Southeast Division Street project between 148th and 174th and the Southeast Stark Street project between 111th and 151st — passed to second reading. Council Policy Analyst Claire Adamsick said both were heard in the Public Works Committee on Sept. 22 with a do-pass recommendation and drew no public testimony. A fourth ordinance amending city code to allow advertising on city-owned streetcar benches and shelters also advanced without public testimony.\n\n## Federal enforcement update\n\nCity Administrator Raymond C. Lee told the council there were no new developments in the ICE facility litigation, with a hearing on the building owner's appeals still set for **Nov. 20** ([00:18:51](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:18:51)). Asked by Kanal about activity beyond the facility, Lee said the city is seeing \"a, a big increase in the amount of detentions\" and that ICE's approach is \"more discreet than what it was in the prior year\" ([00:20:33](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:20:33)). Lee said people who miss mass immigration hearings are automatically placed on the deportation list and advised affected residents to check their hearing status twice a day. He said the city's Immigrant Affairs lead would brief the Committee of the Whole later this year.\n\n## Public comment focused on street safety\n\nFour people spoke during public communications, three on traffic safety. Robin Gelfand said her 11-year-old daughter was hit two weeks earlier by a driver turning right on red at Southeast 47th and Stark while crossing with a walk sign, breaking her ankle ([00:06:17](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:06:17)). She asked the council to add the intersection to the city's no-turn-on-red list and to install high-visibility crosswalk markings and a leading pedestrian interval, citing PBOT data that no-turn-on-red signage can cut crashes 9% and studies showing leading pedestrian intervals can reduce pedestrian-vehicle collisions by as much as 60%. Koyama Lane said PBOT's interim director had outlined planned safety improvements for the area, including speed cushions and larger reflectorized signal heads ([00:09:16](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:09:16)).\n\nMorgan Oyster Sands echoed Gelfand and urged the council to direct Vision Zero to run an annual adult driver awareness campaign. Michelle Dewberry, board chair of the Portland chapter of Families for Safe Streets and mother of a 1-year-old killed by a driver in a crosswalk, described the Stop Super Speeders bill for the 2027 legislative session, which would require the worst speeding offenders to install speed-limiting technology. She cited a 20% rise in annual Oregon traffic deaths over 10 years, serious injuries more than doubling, and more than one-third of catastrophic crashes involving speeding, and said 75% of drivers with suspended licenses drive anyway ([00:15:22](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:15:22)). A fourth speaker, water-treatment operator Arthur Leroy Baldwin IV, criticized the city water utility's hiring process over cannabis use.\n\nWith the agenda finished early, Clark offered extra time for discussion. Alvarez addressed the absent Dunphy on the record: \"we didn't go quickly just to spite you... we're trying to move fast because of you\" ([00:41:08](meeting:2026-09-30-1@00:41:08)).\n\n## What's next\n\nThe four first-reading ordinances — the Fire fee schedule as amended, the two PBOT eminent-domain authorizations, and the streetcar advertising code change — return for a second reading **Oct. 7 at 9:30 a.m.** The litigation hearing on the ICE facility appeals is set for **Nov. 20**, and Lee said the city's Immigrant Affairs lead will brief the Committee of the Whole later this year. The council was scheduled to reconvene Thursday afternoon for time-certain hearings on the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub.", "summaryText": "The council passed the Psychedelic Health and Safety Code 10-0, with two members absent, after holding four more ordinances for a second reading on Oct. 7 during a short Wednesday session led by Council Vice President Olivia Clark.\n\nWith Council President Jamie Dunphy (District 1) on an excused absence and Councilor Dan Ryan (District 2) also out, Vice President Olivia Clark (District 4) presided over a condensed agenda that recessed before 10:09 a.m. until Thursday afternoon.\n\nOn its second reading, the council adopted an ordinance adding a Psychedelic Health and Safety Code to city code, passing 10-0 with Dunphy and Ryan absent (00:24:42).
