WAIC Up! Weekly Update 4/14

April 14, 2023 Wilsonville Alliance for Inclusive Community

Metro is seeking community members who are interested in urban growth, housing, and transportation!  

To learn more about the Metro Technical Advisory Committee and the role of community committee members, visit here. Then, submit an online application by April 17, 2023.

Five community positions are open on the Metro Technical Advisory Committee. Metro is seeking two community representatives from Clackamas County (one to serve as a member and one as an alternate member), two community representatives from Washington County (one to serve as a member and one as an alternate member) and one community representative to serve as an alternate from Multnomah County to fill these positions.

The Role of MTAC: 

  • Provides detailed technical support to the Metro Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) on land use and transportation related issues. MPAC makes recommendations to Metro Council

  • Provides input to Metro staff on development of policies, programs and projects

  • Identifies needs and opportunities for involving the public in land use and transportation decisions

 Policy areas addressed by MTAC (and MPAC) include:

  • Community development in keeping with the 2040 Growth Concept and local plans

  • Regional transportation

  • Management of the urban growth boundary

  • Protection of lands outside the urban growth boundary for natural resources, future urban zoning, or other uses

  • Planning responsibilities required by state law

  • Other growth management and land use planning matters deemed by Metro Council to be of the region’s concern.

About MTAC community representatives: Community representatives play a critical role in elevating the conversation beyond technical analysis by contributing expertise that crosses city and county lines and is grounded in the experiences of people living and working across the region.

To learn more about the Metro Technical Advisory Committee and the role of community committee members, visit here. To apply, submit an online application by April 17, 2023. Email Marie Miller (Marie.Miller@oregonmetro.gov) if you have questions or want to request accommodations.
