Oregon City commissioners voted Feb. 16 to extend a state-of-emergency declaration for the city to address several thousands of residents without power as well as downed trees, damage to structures and other ice storm impacts.
Commission President Rocky Smith declared a state of emergency in Oregon City at 4:39 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 14, but according to municipal code, his declaration would have expired exactly two days later at 4:39 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16, unless commissioners voted on a resolution to extend it.
