Introduction to CPO Discussion.  It was determined that this item will be deferred to the January 22nd C-4 Executive Committee meeting.  Discussion was:

• Martha Schrader said that this should be revisited to discuss those CPO’s that are on the edge of the UGB and how that transition might happen.  How do groups work together?  She advised she would be discussing this with the members of the Board during Tuesday work sessions and would bring information back to the C-4 group.  She felt there are policy issues concerning those CPO’s that are on the edge of the UGB or cities.
• Judie Hammerstad advised that Lake Oswego area has three joint CPO’s and Neighborhood organizations.
• Dick Jones reminded the group that they have the largest CPO with 10% of the unincorporated area population.
