For the first time since he retired in June, former city administrator Larry Paine came to a meeting to advise Hillsboro city council members Tuesday. “It’s strange to be on this side of the table,” Paine said. Paine was there to join an open discussion about proposed development of container houses in Hillsboro. Paine said he was concerned about the aesthetics and what people would think when they drove into the community. Paine said when he researched container homes, he noticed names of shipping companies on the sides of the containers. “If you want to proceed with this, you want to do a development agreement,” Paine said. “I’m imploring the planning commission to look at what they can do.”
