House Concurrent Resolution 18, which recognizes and honors the League of Oregon Cities on its 100th anniversary, cleared a public hearing and was moved by the committee to the Senate floor with a "Be Adopted" recommendation.

Representative John Lively (D–House District 7) testified in support of HCR 18 and told the panel, "I'm here to encourage your support for HCR 18," recounting how League training and networking helped him when he began in local government.

Patricia Mulvihill, executive director of the League of Oregon Cities, said the League now represents 241 cities and urged the committee to adopt the resolution. "The league was founded 100 years ago by only 25 cities ... Today, the league represents 241 cities in Oregon," Mulvihill said.

Carol McInnis, mayor of Fossil and 2025 vice president of the League, described the group's work for rural communities east of the Cascades and its role in legislative advocacy and professional development. Jessica Engelke, mayor of North Bend and 2025 president of the League, testified remotely and described the League's statewide role: "The league proudly unites and supports leaders from 241 of our diverse cities, large and small, rural and urban."

Committee discussion was brief. Chair JAMA (acting chair) called for a work session and the committee voted to move HCR 18 to the floor with a recommendation that it be adopted by the Senate. The committee record shows members moved the resolution forward; the motion was made from the chair's dais.

The resolution itself notes no fiscal impact and no revenue impact, and sponsors named in testimony included Representative Lively and Representative Anderson. The League requested that lawmakers consider joining its centennial activities and noted ongoing programming such as regional trainings and conferences.
