FROM
THE CHAIR
1. The
value of membership
 By
Steve Holwerda, Chair,
Alliance Board of Directors
Our company's
membership renewal for the Portland Business Alliance arrives
like clockwork every July, and it has been that way ever since
we joined the original chamber of commerce in the 1980s. It
is interesting how receiving the bill provides an opportunity,
as well it should, to reflect on the value that we are receiving
for the dues that we pay. This is an exercise that I am sure
all 1,400 other members go through when they receive their
bill, too.
As chair
of the Alliance Board of Directors, my view has gotten broader,
and I have had the good fortune of seeing all the services
and programs that we provide our members. Frankly, it is very
impressive how much we do on behalf of our members, and our
partners, like Portland Downtown Services Inc. (PDSI), the
organization that represents property owners who fund the
downtown business improvement district.
| To
learn about value-added benefits in the Alliance's tiered
dues program, or to become involved with the Regional
Business Plan, call 503.224.8684. |
This past
year, the Alliance introduced a value-based dues program to
better show members what they are "buying" with their membership
investment. This program offers different membership levels,
giving businesses the opportunity to opt into different service
levels. As we test drove this program last year, we found
that 135 members chose to "buy up" to higher levels, to gain
additional benefits like invitations to small group meetings
with elected officials and enhanced sponsorship opportunities.
Every
year, when we survey the Alliance membership, we hear that
the services valued most are networking and business development
opportunities. The Alliance offers these opportunities virtually
every day, ranging from mega-meetings, like the Annual Membership
Meeting in the spring and Business Leadership Evening in the
fall, to smaller opportunities such as Business Leads Exchange,
Business After Hours, Shop Talk, Cornerstones for Success,
and various committees and task forces. You can find an events
schedule on our website, www.portlandalliance.com.
Another great way to get reacquainted with the wide range
of Alliance services and activities is to attend one of the
quarterly Jumpstart Your Membership meetings, where Alliance
staff offers an overview of the organization to new and existing
members.
In our
government relations efforts, the Alliance makes sure that
business views are presented to officials at all levels of
government. Frequently, those messages are delivered by Board
members, committee chairs and staff. In my mind, however,
the real work is done in our committee and task force meetings,
as members work together to develop Alliance positions. Any
member can go to these meetings. If you are not attending
a monthly Central City, Government Relations or Small Business
committee meeting, or any of our other numerous issue groups,
I urge you to check one or two out. Committee meetings are
posted on the events calendar on the Alliance website.
Many members
who work outside of the downtown core may not realize that
the Alliance manages the downtown Business Improvement District,
on behalf of the downtown property owners and PDSI. This $4
million annual program provides cleaning, security and advocacy
in the downtown core, and its partnership with the Alliance
has resulted in a stronger business voice in Portland. My
fellow Alliance Board member, Ron Beltz, chairs the PDSI Board
and is a strong advocate for the needs of downtown business
within our organization and in the city.
The Alliance
has also led development of the Regional Business Plan, chaired
by Board Member and past Board Chair Scott Andrews, which
has brought together business organizations from throughout
the four-county region to work together on a shared policy
agenda. This effort has yielded alliances and partnerships
that have made our organization even more effective, as we
have addressed the concerns of our members in the areas of
transportation, education/workforce development, land availability
and economic prosperity.
As you
can see, there is a lot going on - and this is only a small
snapshot of Alliance activities. The Alliance is the largest
business organization in this region, and we are here to get
things done for you, our members. I hope you will share with
me any thoughts you have about the services we provide. I
can be reached at sholwerda@portlandalliance.com.

Alliance to build relationships between business and schools
The
Alliance is partnering with Worksystems, Inc., in a tri-county
effort to help facilitate career related learning experiences
for students. New Alliance staff member Billy Solowski will
be contacting employers to identify opportunities for career
related experiences such as job shadows, site visits, and
internships. These opportunities will be gathered in a region-wide
database that will be utilized by career development officers
in local high schools to help place students with businesses.
New Oregon graduation standards require students to participate
in career related learning experiences in order to learn
more about the wide variety of careers available. To learn
about how your business may benefit from this new program,
contact Billy Solowski at 503.552.6758, or bsolowski@portlandalliance.com.

New Alliance Green Hour event to launch at Vestas Oct. 1
 With
a 23 percent market share and 35,000 wind turbines installed,
Vestas is the world's leading supplier of wind power solutions,
and the host of Green Hour on Oct. 1, the Portland Business
Alliance's newest event. The Green Hour event allows member
businesses to showcase their green business practices, sustainable
products and services. The Oct. 1 event will provide a networking
venue and feature the Vestas energy story; attend the first
Green Hour and experience Vestas' views on modern energy!
If

through a Green Hour event, please contact Membership Events
Manager Christine Gatlin at cgatlin@portlandalliance.com,

Alliance and member green efforts recognized with RecycleWorks
Award
Pictured

Dan Saltzman, Policy Analyst RJ Cervantes and Alliance
Board Chair Steve Holwerda.
Recycling
efforts at the Portland Business Alliance were rewarded
with a RecycleWorks award presented to the Alliance on
June 9. The RecycleWorks award is presented by the City
of Portland's Office of Sustainable Development to businesses
serving as a role model through reducing, reusing, recycling,
making sustainable purchasing choices and going beyond
recycling by participating in at least one other sustainable
practice. The Alliance's green practices include: providing
recycling for all paper, bottles and cans; covering recycling
and waste prevention quarterly at staff meetings; establishing
systems to effectively use the blank side of all paper
printed single-sided; use of durable dishware and durable
silverware; paperless check stubs; changing from paper
to electronic publications and more.
PUBLIC
POLICY
5.
City of Portland Revenue Bureau may change Business License
Fee
The City
of Portland Revenue Bureau is proposing a change to the way
the Business License Fee (BLF) is administered. Presently,
the fee is administered in a manner that results in start-up
businesses paying the BLF twice in the first business year.
The Bureau of Revenue proposes changing the fee to an after-the-fact
fee; new businesses would pay only once in their first year
and pay the fee in the last year of operation based on yearly
earnings. The city estimates it will see increases in revenue
due to the proposed change, within five years of implementing
the reform.
A goal
of the proposed policy reform is to align the city's process
for first-year payment of the BLF with Multnomah County's
Business Income Tax, and the Bureau hopes to bring the issue
to Portland City Council this August. If successful, the changes
will take effect in mid-2009.
The Bureau
of Revenue is also suggesting any new revenue resulting from
changes to the BLF structure be used to reduce the owner's
compensation deduction - a formula the Alliance supports.
In 2007,
Portland City Council adopted a resolution calling for an
increase in the owner's compensation deduction and gross receipts
exemption. In that year, the owner's compensation deduction
increased from $61,500 to $80,000. The city committed to increase
the deduction to $125,000 over five years and to overhaul
the minimum to make it progressive based on number of employees
and other factors.
This fall,
the city will begin discussing how the new minimum should
be structured. In the meantime, they are increasing the owner's
compensation deduction by inflation to $82,500 for 2008 rather
than the $89,000 that would represent one-fifth of the total
increase needed to reach $125,000.

6. Portland
City Council, area leaders back Columbia River Crossing
The Columbia
River Crossing project reached an important milestone in July,
with sponsoring agencies in Oregon and Washington adopting
a locally preferred alternative that includes a replacement
bridge and light rail, as well as tolls and improved bicycle
and pedestrian facilities. The crossing, the largest public
works project in the region's history, is a highway, transit
and bridge project aimed at improving safety and addressing
congestion growth in a 5-mile stretch of Interstate 5. Should
this project fail to move forward, congestion on the I-5 bridge
and its approaches is expected to increase from 4-6 hours
each day, to as many as 16 hours each day. The resulting impact
to our regional and national economy cannot be overstated.
This will limit access to workforce and marketplace opportunities
and have negative impacts on our quality of life.
The project
now has a green light to move into the Final Environmental
Impact Statement phase, which will entail further evaluation,
analysis and design of the preferred alternative. This project
is one of the most important, complex and costly public works
projects in the Pacific Northwest. A broad base of support
throughout Oregon and Washington will be necessary to move
the project to and through the construction phase. To that
end, a Columbia River Crossing Coalition has been formed to
demonstrate to federal, state and local officials that a broad
community believes the crossing project is essential to the
economic prosperity of the region, the west coast and the
nation. For more information, or to sign on as a supporter
of the Coalition, please visit www.crossingcoalition.com.

10. Green
Business of the Month: Artemis Foods
 Personal
conviction drives Artemis Foods' commitment to sustainability.
Owner Grace Pae has been conscious of her impact on the environment
for years, so when she started the green catering business
five years ago, Artemis Foods' sustainable business model
naturally drew from that awareness.
"It's
the right thing to do," Pae said. "I think it's our civic
duty, and our staff are excited about being mindful and respectful
of the environment and resources. In little ways, you can
make a big impact."
Artemis
Foods' green practices include: recycling and composting on
site both in the facility and at events; donation of leftover
food to homeless shelters; compostable corn-based plastic
containers; compostable and sustainable sugarcane paper goods;
a main delivery van run on biodiesel fuel; phosphate-free
cleaning products; PGE Green Source Program 100 percent renewable
electricity generated from wind, geothermal and biomass power;
and catering for events made carbon-neutral by the purchase
of Green Tags.
The business's
catering menu features organic, local and seasonal produce,
dairy, meats, grains, bread, wines and beverages - which also
showcases the Northwest's cuisine. "We promote the region,"
Pae said. "Our menus outline the farmers we use."
To learn
more about Artemis Foods' sustainable practices, or to order
catering for your next event, visit www.artemisfoods.com,
or call 503.233.8539.
This
month, the Portland Business Alliance launches its Green Business
of the Month recognition program. The monthly newsletter column
will showcase Alliance members who are committed to sustainability
and who employ exemplary green business practices. To be considered
for this column, please contact Rachel Vance at rvance@portlandalliance.com,

DOWNTOWN
11. PPI
Officer Descoteaux helps keep downtown streets safe
 Portland
Patrol Officer James Descoteaux is on the prowl for car prowlers
- with notable success. Over the last few months, the officer's
quick thinking and attentiveness has helped to recover stolen
property, interrupt an attempted burglary at a local business
and bring several criminals to justice.
In April,
Descouteaux observed a known car prowler looking into a vehicle's
windows, and kept the subject in view until police arrived.
In May, the officer noticed a woman pouring laundry detergent
into the Ira Keller Fountain and obtained identification;
as a result, the City of Portland was able to recover the
costs of cleaning the fountain. In June, he contacted Portland
Police when he came across a group including two women attempting
to climb a fire escape, interrupting a burglary attempt.
"I feel
that Portland Patrol Officer Jaymes Descoteaux has exceeded
the expectations of an unarmed security officer and should
be commended," noted Portland Patrol CEO John Hren.
