Here's a question: while residents are asking why the City wants to eliminate the Planning Commission, the City has circled back to the boat ramp project.
On July 13, 2026, the Rivergrove City Council voted 4–1 to direct staff to draft an ordinance shifting the Planning Commission's land-use duties to the City Council for about two years.
This proposal would change how Rivergrove has operated since it was founded, with no clear reason given for why now.
At the June 8th Rivergrove City Council meeting, councilors discussed transparency and budget concerns after the local operating levy ballot measure did not pass.
You've been told Rivergrove is on the brink of collapse, but the city's recent email says otherwise, and that's just the beginning of what doesn't add up.
