The Wilson City Council held a work session on July 13, 2026, to discuss the development of their 2027 legislative agenda and priorities for the League of Oregon Cities (LOC). The session, led by Deputy City Manager Megan George and the lobbying team from Thorn Run, focused on identifying key themes, funding requests, and potential legislative actions for the upcoming year. The council reviewed their 2026 themes and discussed how they align with current state and federal legislative landscapes, including major issues like transportation funding, budget constraints (especially Medicaid), and economic development initiatives. The team from Thorn Run provided insights into state and federal legislative priorities, emphasizing the importance of early planning and advocacy. The discussion also touched upon specific capital projects the city is considering for funding requests, such as the Riverfront Park construction, Tualatin River Greenway Trail, and shade structures at Veterans Park. The council was asked to provide input on which themes and projects to prioritize, with follow-up discussions scheduled for August. The League of Oregon Cities legislative priorities were also presented, with the council tasked to identify their top five priorities for the LOC to consider.
