Records Online: Webdrawer

The City of Oregon City is a member of Oregon Records Management Solution (ORMS) allowing us to increase citizen access to public records. You may search for frequently requested records such as:

• Ordinances
• Resolutions
• Meeting Minutes
• Agendas Packets
• Other historical documents

For you convenience we have pre-set search parameters on frequently requested records. Visit the subpages in this section to view our collections.

Searching

In the ORMS Webdrawer you will find additional fields to refine your search:

• First be sure that the Jurisdiction "Oregon City, City of" is selected to search in Oregon City records
• Then pick how you would like to search:
  • Searching by "Any Word" will search any word in either the Title field or the Notes field for a record
  • Date Created (not recommended)
  • Document Content will search the entire document content; expect a longer search time
  • Record Number (not recommended)
  • Title (free text part):
    • This search is an exact match search of the Title field for a record
    • Not recommended unless you have the exact title
  • Title Word will search any word in the Title field for a record - most recommended
    • Use the wildcard * to increase your search success; for example, "Ord*" will return Ordinance, Ordinances, ORD, ordinary, order... etc.

The title format varies for Oregon City Records:

• Meeting minutes or agenda packets "YYYY-MM-DD Meeting Body Type" for example "2016-04-06 City Commission Minutes"
• Resolutions are named "Resolution YY-NN" for example "Resolution 15-05" will find the 5th Resolution from 2015
• Ordinances are Named "Ordinance YY-NNNN" for example "Ordinance 15-1001"
