questions about the city's tentative deal with Paulson,
Why did the council hear a proposal to change the city's "open space" zoning code affecting PGE Park before ensuring there's a new "good neighborhood agreement" in place between Paulson's company and the Goose Hollow Foothills League Neighborhood Association?
The city's oral agreement with Paulson calls for building spaces for a medical clinic and a team store at PGE Park. If those businesses were to close, would the city have control over who took their places?
Will there be a requirement that the medical clinic accept patients with Medicare, Medicaid and the Oregon Health Plan?
