In discussion, members raised interest in transit, including the Oregon City Transit Center location, transit-supportive land use patterns, Metro 2040 Vision refresh, distribution of STIF funding, and the strategic benefits of participating in cap-and-trade conversations.

Members also raised interest in the future jail location, affordable housing within the context of the transportation system, economic development (workforce needs, city UGB expansions, economic land in rural areas), governance (e.g., districting, ranked choice voting), and childcare.
