DeShirlia was placed on two years probation and ordered to pay $7,110 in fines to cover the costs of the prosecuting attorney’s investigator. DeShirlia had pleaded guilty to failing to make sewer connection fee payments during his time in office and assured the court that city staff was not responsible. An audit conducted by the prosecuting attorney found six instances of DeShirlia “falsely stating he paid fees” within two years. DeShirlia proposed reroofing the Battle Ground Kiwanis building and constructing an outdoor shelter at Camp Melacoma as two of his community service projects. Superior Court Judge Rober Harris accepted the proposal.

Report: Rising Vacancies, Flexible Lease Negotiations Mark Second Quarter of 2024 Trends in Portland’s Industrial Market
The industrial real estate market in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan statistical area has demonstrated notable trends and shifts over the past year, according to a recent Kidder Mathews Portland Industrial Market Report for the second quarter of 2024. Despite the stability in average asking lease rates, which remained constant at $0.88 per square foot year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, net effective rates have declined due to increased tenant improvement allowances and free rent incentives.
