Washington County Commissioner Terry reported the County was in very good shape<br />
financially, with a reserve still in the budget. The current county budget, which would be<br />
approved later this month, was expected to have a reserve at the end of next year as well. He<br />
noted other items including the remand, upcoming Sherriff’s levy which was anticipated to<br />
pass, and that <strong>Cornelius</strong> was one of the biggest benefactors of MSTIP funds this round.<br />
Mayor Dalin thanked Commissioner Terry for his support on 10 th street, noting a list of<br />
successful projects completed in cooperation with the county and state. The <strong>Council</strong> Creek<br />
Project, which the <strong>City</strong> was working jointly on with Forest Grove and Hillsboro, was lower on<br />
the MSTIP projects list, but the $100,000 allocated for the master plan would enable the project<br />
to obtain partner funding.<br />

updated <strong>Council</strong> about new programs and classes offered by Centro Cultural that focus on<br />
