(Portland, OR) -- Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is proposing that grants to gun violence prevention programs get fast tracked. On Wednesday, City Council will consider an ordinance that will allow the Community Safety Director to approve the grants, as long as they don't exceed 500-thousand dollars per agreement and the Council has the funding in the budget. The ordinance will end on June 30th of next year. It's an emergency ordinance and if it receives four out of five votes it'll go into effect immediately.
