波特兰市议会晚表决 Moda Center 改造联合管理局协议：州、市、县三方共管，资金问题留待12月中旬期限前解决
位于俄勒冈州 Multnomah 县的波特兰市，据波特兰市政府公布的议程，市议会定于10月21日晚6时开会，就参与设立负责 Moda Center 球馆改造的联合管理局进行表决，表决内容包括管理局协议与市长提名的市方人选。
市议会10月15日已开会审议该事项，但未作任何正式决定，并把市府如何分担改造资金的讨论推迟。按州参议院第1501号法案，州政府已为该项目预留资金，联合管理局将由州、波特兰市与 Multnomah 县三方人员组成，市府的参与是动用州资金的前提条件之一；各方须在12月中旬前完成取得州资金所需的安排。
议会主席 Jamie Dunphy 表示，除非市府拿到8月一项决议所要求的正式文件，否则他不会在12月安排改造资金的最终表决。他说，政府间协议的谈判正在推进，但开拓者队究竟打算用公共资金购买什么，谈判尚未谈拢。市长提名的市方三名人选为市行政官 Raymond Lee、建筑官员 Natalie Didion 与预算办公室副主任 Brian Connell；议员 Sameer Kanal 对这一名单提出异议，认为其中没有体现议会的立法角色。
Portland City Council to Vote on October 21 on the Moda Center Renovation Joint Authority: a State, City and County Partnership With Funding Questions Left for a Mid-December Deadline
Portland, Oregon, in Multnomah County — The Portland City Council is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. on October 21 to vote on the city's participation in a joint authority that would oversee renovations of the Moda Center, including the authority agreement and the mayor's proposed city appointees, according to the city's published agenda.
Council members began reviewing the city's participation on October 15 but took no formal action and postponed discussion of how the city would pay its share. The proposed Joint Authority would include staff from the state, Portland and Multnomah County. The city's participation is required under Senate Bill 1501, which set aside state money for the project, and the partners have until mid-December to complete the arrangements needed to access that funding.
Council President Jamie Dunphy said he would not schedule a final vote on renovation funding in December unless the city has the definitive documents required by a resolution adopted in August, adding that negotiations over the intergovernmental agreement are progressing but that talks over what the Trail Blazers expect to purchase with public money remain unresolved. The mayor's recommended appointees to the authority's three Portland seats are City Administrator Raymond Lee, Building Official Natalie Didion and Deputy Budget Office Director Brian Connell; Councilor Sameer Kanal objected to the proposed slate, arguing that the council's legislative role was not represented.
