City of Tigard Group

The City Council had identified four goals for 2023-2025.  These goals inclu ded:   ·      Reduce Houselessness:  The City will continue to actively address houselessness in the Tigard community. Focusing on livability for all our community is a top priority. 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 Cit...

  "Building a Better Tigard" is a campaign to build a safe, modern combined facility for our Police and Public Works departments. This new facility will ensure our first responders can continue providing critical services to the community after a natural disaster, improve everyday operational efficiency, and reduce long-term costs. 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...

Before colonization by European settlers, the Aftalati   inhabited the Tualatin Valley   in several hunter-gatherer villages including Chachimahiyuk ("Place of aromatic herbs"), near present-day Tigard. Primary food stuffs included deer, camas   root, fish, berries, elk, and various nuts. To encourage the growth of the camas plant and maintain a habitat beneficial to deer and elk, the group regularly burned the valley floor to discourage the growth of forests, a common practice among the   Kalapuya. Prior to contact with white explorers, traders, and missionaries, the Kalapuya population is believed to have numbered as many as 15,000 people.   Euro-Americans began arriving in the Atfalati's homeland in the early 19th century, and settlers in the 1840s. As with the other Kalapuyan peoples, the arrival of Euro-Americans led to dramatic social disruptions. By the 1830s, diseases had decimated the Atfalati. The tribe had already experienced population decreased from...
