Mount Hood Athletic Club Pickleball Courts: The City Planning Division approved two additional outdoor pickleball courts at the Mount Hood Athletic Club (MHAC) to accompany the one court the City approved in 2025. In 2025, MHAC received approval for an outdoor pickleball court located in the northeast corner of the property. The two additional pickleball courts will be located in the landscaping area on the east side of the main building. There will be a new stairwell installed to access the courts from the upper parking lots and a pathway between the existing court and the two new courts.

Sandy Mountain Festival Carnival: The Sandy Mountain Festival received approval to host a carnival with rides, games, and food during the annual Sandy Mountain Festival. Due to the nature of the carnival layout, the City Council approved both the closure of Scales Avenue between Proctor Blvd. and Pioneer Blvd. and a noise exception until 10:00 pm each night.

The carnival is proposed to operate on the property at 38600 Proctor Blvd. and 17455 Scales Avenue (AntFarm Property) during the festival events in Meinig Park. The carnival plans to set up on July 6, 2026. The carnival will be open on July 9 from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, on July 10 and July 11 from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, and on July 12 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Visit the Mountain Festival website for more information: https://www.sandymountainfestival.org/

Code Enforcement Report:

  • 16 Citations were issued in February.
    • 13 citations were issued to the property owners at 362nd Avenue and Highway 26 for continuing to maintain attractive nuisances and accumulated junk on the property. However, they are currently in the process of cleaning up the nuisance so the issuance of additional citations has been paused.
    • 3 citations were issued to businesses who failed to renew their business licenses. All three businesses have since renewed their licenses.
  • Six street tree replacement cases have been completed with the planting of new street trees.
  • A house on Oak Street was deemed a ‘dangerous building’ by the Building Official due to a lack of water and sewer services. The tenants squatting at the house were trespassed from the property by the Sandy Police Department. The property owner has since restored the utility services to the property and the house is no longer posted as dangerous.
