Meeting Agenda
7:00 pm Welcome and Introductions
Public Safety Update A representative from the Sheriff’s Department will be available to discuss security for home owners and the Highland Clubhouse.
The Village Movement: Promoting and Supporting Aging in Place Presentation by Patt Opdyke Come see if a Village would be a good addition to your planning for retirement. A virtual Village supports older adults so they may remain in their own homes safely and comfortably for as long as they care to. By providing practical assistance around the home and offering activities that keep seniors active and engaged, the virtual Village allows people to age where they most want to — in their home.
Currently eight Villages are in development in the greater Portland Metro area, including two in Washington County. The presentation will be provided by Patt Opdyke who is currently leading a group of volunteers to create the North Star Village in Portland.

Ready for Review
Imagine a network of safe and
enjoyable streets to ride your
bicycle on that connects you to
other neighborhoods and
destinations including schools,
parks, transit stops, and
businesses. The County is working
to make that a reality.
A series of proposed neighborhood
bikeway routes have been
developed and provided on an
interactive map. The County is
seeking your input on those
routes. In addition, the County
Draft Neighborhood Bikeway
Toolkit and the Draft
Neighborhood Bikeway Plan
are ready for your review.
Provide your feedback on the
