This important project is expected to be a potential ballot measure in May 2026. A safe, modern facility will be designed to withstand a major earthquake or natural disaster, ensuring our first responders can continue delivering essential services to our community when they’re needed the most.   Our current facilities are too small, costing over $420,000 per year for extra storage and office space. In 2023, we spent $500,000 on maintenance, a cost that will keep rising as buildings deteriorate.    Built in the 1980s when our population was one-third of its current size, police facilities are now overcrowded, housing nearly 100 employees an...

The City Council identified four goals for 2023-2025.  These goals inclu de:   ·      Reduce Houselessness:  The City will continue to actively address houselessness in the Tigard community.

The City will renew its focus on supporting outreach and wrap around services through partners, available transitional housing, and support the business community to offset impacts.   ·      Address Community’s Impact on the Climate:  In 2025, Mayor Lueb and the Council will prioritize climate action that reduces the community’s impact on the climate crisis and makes the community resilient to the inequitable impacts of climate change. That will include strategies to mitigate the carbon pollution impact of City operation, engaging with homeowners and renters, and exploring additional incentive programs for the community.  ·     Modernize and Improve City Ser...
