September 22, 2025 — Wilsonville City Councilor Katie Dunwell has informed City Manager Bryan Cosgrove that she is resigning from the Council, effective immediately.

“Serving as representative of Wilsonville citizens has been a rewarding experience,” Dunwell said, citing the unexpected passing of her husband Jim in 2024 as a catalyst for her decision. “I am proud of the accomplishments during my three years on Council.  More than anything, I had the privilege to serve on Council as we designed and implemented a safe overnight camping area for unhoused individuals and families in need.”

September 2, 2025 — The City of Wilsonville is beginning a comprehensive review of policies related to parked recreational vehicles (RVs) and abandoned vehicles.

This effort, part of a broader review of public safety policy, stems from concerns expressed by community members about vehicles — including RVs — parked on City streets for prolonged periods.

The City’s goals are twofold: to better understand the nature and extent of the community’s concerns and to evaluate whether the City is equipped with resources to effectively manage any potential policy adjustments. Any new policy must be balanced, enforceable, and responsive to the needs of the community, while avoiding overregulation.
