Due to the effects of Coronavirus and COVID-19, Mayor Casey Ryan declared a State of Emergency on March 16, 2020 throughout the City of Troutdale. Pursuant to the City's Municipal Code the mayor can not declare an emergency for more than two weeks at a time. On March 30, the mayor extended the Emergency declaration until April 13, when it can again be extended.
There are two additions in this declaration:
- Due to the substantial reduction in patronage at the City’s restaurants and stores, the City is reducing by half the sewer bills for those businesses most impacted by the lack of customers.
- The Mayor has echoed the Governor’s Order that no tenant, residential or commercial, can be evicted for failure to pay rent or for a “no cause” eviction.
Troutdale City Hall is open, but in order to limit person-to-person contact and protect public health due to COVID-19, the doors will be locked. At least one employee will be present between 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on regular workdays and a method to communicate to the staff on site will be prominently displayed on the main door. We will still respond, as normal, to telephone calls and emails.
If you need to contact someone with the City, please refer to this list of phone numbers or call the general line at 503-665-5175. And remember that you can always pay utility bills and court fines and apply for building permits by using our new Online Payments and Services Portal.
