MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingThe committee will convene in executive session on item F (26-1997A) to deliberate on real estate negotiations for the Bullington Truck Terminal and Thanks-Giving Foundation property located underground at 1627 Pacific Avenue, a transaction that could affect subsurface rights or development conditions on that downtown block.

Journalist

MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingItem F (26-1997A) is the most opaque item on the agenda: the city is negotiating a real estate transaction involving the Bullington Truck Terminal and Thanks-Giving Foundation at 1627 Pacific Avenue — described as underground — and is shielding deliberation under TOMA sections 551.071 and 551.072. Separately, three items (B, C, D) arrive as explicit follow-ups from prior COGE meetings without having produced public recommendations, raising questions about the pace and direction of the committee's efficiency reviews.
