This concurrent resolution recognizes the League of Oregon Cities and its work since 1925. The resolution notes the League was founded by 25 cities to provide support, advocacy, and resources to incorporated cities. It lists the League's roles: promoting municipal governance and best practices, fostering collaboration among cities, lobbying on issues like sustainable development, infrastructure, public safety, community engagement, and preserving home rule authority, and providing legislative advocacy, professional development, research, technical expertise, and services. The text records that 241 cities represent about 3,000,000 residents (about 70 percent of the State population). It also lists federal laws the League supported, including the CHIPS and Science Act (2022), the American Rescue Plan Act (2021), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021) — the resolution cites over $4,500,000,000 in additional infrastructure investment for the State — the CARES Act (2020), and a 2018 program to expand rural broadband. The resolution states Congress recognizes the League's century of work and its future role supporting municipalities and federal-local partnership.
