PDC Advisory Committee Application

The Portland Development Commission (PDC) believes that meaningful, timely, effective public participation is essential to successfully implement PDC policies and projects.

A citizen advisory committee is a tool that PDC uses to involve citizens, urban renewal area (URA) stakeholders and/or project partners more directly in planning, program development and decision making. Committees may be formed for geographic or program areas, or to evaluate proposals for specific projects. Some committees are short lived (i.e. two to six weeks), while others involve substantial time commitments (i.e. monthly meetings for three-year terms for URAC members.)

If you are interested in serving on a PDC committee, please complete this application. The Commission will use this information when considering appointments to advisory committees. Please note that PDC’s policy is to not share personal contact information when requested by private or public entities. However, this application is a public document and may be subject to public disclosure if requested under the Oregon Public Records Law. In the past, PDC has received request for lists of active committee members, including requests from media sources and political officials.

IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

An appointee to a PDC committee is considered a “public official” and accordingly is subject to the Oregon Government Ethics Laws (ORS Chapter 244, the “Ethics Law”). The Ethics Law, among other things, defines when a conflict of interest may arise and the disclosure and action required in connection with such conflict of interest.

Upon appointment to a PDC committee, you will be provided information pertaining to the Ethics Law and may consult with PDC legal counsel (503-823-3217) for additional information.

By submitting this application, I affirm that all of the information contained herein is true to the best of my knowledge, and I understand that any misstatement of fact or misrepresentation of credentials may result in this application being disqualified from further consideration. I also agree to abide by the PDC Code of Conduct and notify PDC of any changes to this information.
