Decision Makers

■ Portland City Council (Council) - Five-member Council of Commissioners including Mayor Sam Adams, and Commissioners Randy Leonard, Amanda Fritz, Nick Fish and Dan Saltzman.
The Council will:

• Select a proposal for the renovation or adaptive reuse of the Memorial Coliseum;
• Adopt the Rose Quarter Strategy that will guide future development in the district; and,
• Approve investment of any city resources (other than tax increment financing) in the project.

Council decisions will be based on public input and guidance from the Stakeholder Advisory Committee and the Portland Development Commission Board of Commissioners.

■ Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) - Representative ad hoc group constituted to represent a cross-section of key interests in advising the Council on the Rose Quarter Development project. Meetings are a public forum for members to have a dialogue about and reach agreement on project issues.
The SAC will:

• Confirm the vision for Rose Quarter development;
• Recommend a screening and evaluation framework for Memorial Coliseum renovation or adaptive reuse ideas and proposals;
• Recommend ideas and a final proposal for the Coliseum renovation or adaptive reuse; and,
• Provide feedback on the Rose Quarter Development Strategy.

■ Portland Development Commission Board of Commissioners (PDC Board) - Five-member Board of Commissioners including Chair Scott Andrews, Bertha Ferran, John Mohlis, Charles Wilhoite and Steven Straus.
The PDC Board will:

• Provide recommendations to Council on the renovation or adaptive reuse of the Memorial Coliseum and the Rose Quarter Development Strategy; and,
• Approve the investment of tax increment financing in the project from the Oregon Convention Center Urban Renewal Area.

PDC Board decisions will be based on public input and guidance from the Council, the SAC, the Oregon Convention Center Urban Renewal Advisory Committee, and the N/NE Economic Development Initiative Advisory Committee.

■ Public Input - Several avenues will be available for the public to join in the conversation about the future of the Memorial Coliseum and Rose Quarter development. This website - www.RoseQuarterDevelopment.com - is the best source for the latest information on the project. Online surveys, idea submission and review forms, and comment cards will be posted for Council, SAC and PDC Board consideration. Social networking media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, plus public forums scheduled throughout the project will broaden public access and outreach.
