The Planning Commission/Department’s Large Commercial Structure Ordinance is on the City Council’s Agenda on Tuesday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. Please come support Cool Mac’s revisions to this ordinance to help our city become more livable and sustainable.

Please be assured that it is very easy to have your voice be heard. Just tell the City Council your vision of McMinnville in as simple or complicated terms as you like.  Maybe you just want to comment on what someone else has spoken about. You don’t have to have any expertise…just an opinion.

The meeting is held in the McMinnville School District office at 1500 NE Baker Street. See you there!

Due to conflicts, the night for the showing of Who Killed the Electric Car has been moved to Wednesday night, April 23, at 7 p.m. Mick Cowles will be bringing us up-to-date on the latest developments in the American car companies. Please join us!
