CWS staff informed the board they had worked with a state agency that experienced suspicious emails; CWS’s cybersecurity systems detected the messages and staff said the other agency was back online. The agency also reported that the West Basin master plan — a 20‑year plan for treatment and conveyance infrastructure serving more than 400,000 customers in the Rock Creek basin including Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Gaston, North Plains, Cornelius, Banks and portions of Beaverton and unincorporated Washington County — was presented to the water‑advisory committee and will progress through a final review in June with a recommendation later in the year.

CWS's Natural Systems Stewardship program reported it coordinated a large planting season, arranging storage in refrigerated facilities for hundreds of thousands of bare‑root plants; staff said approximately 730,000 plants and about 1,900 pounds of seed were distributed over the season and that the program handled about 600,000 bare-root trees and shrubs in cold storage between October and March. CWS staff also noted an upcoming spring plant giveaway on April 26 as part of a community celebration in Cornelius.

On budget materials CWS staff said commissioners would receive the full budget and an accompanying \"navigator\" or reader's‑digest style summary on April 18; the summary was described as an aid to point commissioners to key changes rather than a replacement of the full budget.

The board asked for clarification about the budget summary and other items; CWS staff confirmed commissioners would receive both the full budget document and a condensed navigator document when the budget is distributed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Washington County Board of Commissioners PM Work Session, 04/14/25 (Part 2)","oneSentenceSummary","Clean Water Services leadership reported a contained cybersecurity incident, previewed a West Basin master plan presentation, and described a major native-plant distribution (about 730,000 plants and 1,900 pounds of seed) and upcoming outreach dates; staff said a budget 'navigator' and reader's‑digest summary will be provided April 18.","taxTitle","Washington County, Oregon","taxId",2762,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603257,"Board to consider Robert Webb appointment to the Urban Road Maintenance District Advisory Committee",107,270355,377975,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000556-09d2c92e11d7b817d32a80586b6be5a8&start=270&end=377","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000556-09d2c92e11d7b817d32a80586b6be5a8/thumbnail_270355.jpg","/articles/6603257/Washington-County/Oregon/Board-to-consider-Robert-Webb-appointment-to-the-Urban-Road-Maintenance-District-Advisory-Committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603257-7ab0adacbf79a465b7e67f02c20931e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775358471&Signature=YmyeH8iVVyz4dzMrQu6l-W-SkBgE2MZYHU9Me0ewK36n5YKgoEpr7f5oDD6DfslJJdXEEeZpI7RWO14dh4GWZudrs8PIgOH9I5TAjA1wUTApMnIRxEaYu3ePLUriE8PqPZB8LaLo9JeMPN~w5inFTgzl0Qhc~NDLrgQz0-Oead8k7kr~emtKWKfTScFJYc4rnGWl~EwskgjK1dKadO1irjAK~034QKjtBNDq6admkSofAuUQWkTyI7PDVXTso6~BThczDH51qivA6qyr~~OuM~ej0ykuU28c6KIuSk69dbHx7jbgzQooRSEYvpqPwYc5YicgrOPaJqKJq5LZTDPOWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Washington County staff announced an application for Robert Webb to fill a four‑year term on the Urban Road Maintenance District Advisory Committee and said the appointment will be brought to the board for consideration at a future meeting, likely May 6.

Staff noted some committee members had conflicts at the meeting and that the appointment paperwork would reflect a retroactive start date of May 1 if approved.

Staff said the plan provides greater transparency about project status and funding needs but includes many projects with funding not yet secured.

Interim Chief Financial Officer John Steyer said the county-wide CIP lists about $1.6 billion of projects across the planning horizon but cautioned that the figure includes several projects with unspecified funding sources. Finance staff and department leads presented project‑level pages for IT, facilities/fleet/parks, and land-use/transportation (LUT), and explained how the CIP will be synchronized with the operating budget and debt-service planning.

Highlights given to the board included information-technology priorities: the enterprise resource planning (ERP) replacement project (county-wide core finance/HR system) remains on schedule with go‑live targeted for December 2025; the ERP was described as the county’s core operating system and staff noted a roughly $20,000,000 implementation cost and ongoing subscription operating costs thereafter. IT also previewed an internal‑intranet replacement (Horizons) targeting a June–July launch and a phone-system replacement that staff said came in about $1,000,000 less than originally estimated and can be covered from existing balances.

Facility, fleet and parks director Laura Brown told the board the facilities portfolio covers roughly 40 buildings and about 2,000,000 square feet and the parks portfolio includes about 2,500 acres. Facilities staff showed a facilities condition-linked set of projects: planned critical infrastructure work funded by previous ARPA dollars, seismic design work for the Walnut Street Center, and multi‑year projects such as a planned Fairgrounds master‑plan implementation noting $15,000,000 programmed for fiscal 2026–27. Brown said the facilities CIP for the coming year includes roughly $65,000,000 of planned expenditures and that some large needs remain “not yet secured.”

Transportation and LUT staff said the department manages more than 1,300 miles of roads and 83 bridges; they presented about 94 projects in the transportation program and said projected expenditures in the upcoming five years amounted to roughly $595,000,000 (staff explained a prior billion‑dollar headline number included large amounts of past and current-year spending). LUT staff also explained the funding mix: MSTIP and system development charges, county and state gas tax, federal grants and an assumed future bond program. Staff described an assumed bond of around $150,000,000 in the CIP planning as an illustrative revenue assumption to support a slate of projects.

Steyer and department directors described process improvements for future CIPs, including embedding the CIP within Finance (a dedicated program manager), improved project templates, clearer five‑year phasing, and better linkage to the operating budget and debt‑service projections. Staff said departments have been iterating on the CIP for several years and this presentation represented the second full, county‑wide CIP effort with more granular project narratives and cost histories.

The board asked clarifying questions about schedule and funding: whether planning dollars for major projects (for example courthouse or jail planning) would precede construction programming, how deferred maintenance reflected in the facilities condition assessment would be addressed over time, and the county’s data governance and analytics capacity tied to the ERP replacement. Staff responded that planning typically precedes programming on the CIP (illustrated by courthouse planning phased into later CIP years), that the facilities condition work will move forward over multiple budget cycles, and that the ERP and a growing cross‑department data governance initiative will improve reporting and analytics.

Board members thanked staff for building the CIP and staff said they will return to the board on May 6 with a formal adoption request.","County finance, IT, facilities, parks and transportation staff presented an updated five-year CIP with program-level summaries and project pages; staff said the plan totals were large but include many future and not‑yet‑secured revenues and the board will consider formal adoption on May 6.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603267,"Washington County unveils first comprehensive service-level inventory and assessment",3345,397875,3743730,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000556-09d2c92e11d7b817d32a80586b6be5a8&start=397&end=3743","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000556-09d2c92e11d7b817d32a80586b6be5a8/thumbnail_397875.jpg","/articles/6603267/Washington-County/Oregon/Washington-County-unveils-first-comprehensive-service-level-inventory-and-assessment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603267-4ed6e4e436b6468ec65d3af13910b6dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1775358471&Signature=NLcTwjtO724Ow3QYXMRqWc9WPY-5LDuSB-kU9qcaBxwI33ndjVhNhg5fni6d-Mc4uO8Q-8uZN~ey2uH9D~Em9J9M73HJ04n6GXlbpEA4Ff52oGhSK6ekq6t-~-E3YHUowrPS5HAiJKy~Ntmpun1axfwjghfKy94P3nvjyAmp~iiWXOKdcuPKrVTlopwZjO8bWOR-Zeg9MRxfs9Mjsa7QjboTiNPN6xPSpvpVzfnMq0gMJ8LBiXH81I4tEuZr4a9CzaEZWk3y5uBtbjDVGs209wrfhNFc94y07mWcZmYqI4oXcgWbdA4~rHcwKqpnrMSER77Srm09L4qf-APa10oZjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Washington County staff on a board meeting presented the county’s first comprehensive service-level inventory and an accompanying service-level assessment, summarizing how the county delivers nearly 300 distinct services and providing internal data tools for officials to explore funding, mandates and geography of service delivery.

The assessment, developed over about 18 months by county staff with consultant Jordan Henderson of Marina and Company and led in-house by Assistant County Administrator Marnie Kyle, inventories 297 discrete services across 23 departments and programs and characterizes each on five core dimensions: whether the service is mandated, who it serves, where it is delivered, how it is funded and how equity is incorporated. Kyle told the board the work is intended as a starting point for further inquiry, not as a final prioritization or budget recommendation.

County staff built two data tools: a comprehensive service-level assessment table (an Excel row for every service) and a service-level summary (a lookup record with notes for an individual service). Staff said the dataset is internal (on County SharePoint) and will be shared with commissioners along with help sessions and one-on-one walkthroughs because the dataset is detailed and self-reported.

The presentation stressed limitations: the inventory reflects a fiscal-year-2023 snapshot, many funding and mandate details are complex and self‑reported by departments, and cost and revenue figures are approximate ranges rather than audited line-item amounts. For example, staff reported about 220 of the 297 services were identified as required by some mandate or requirement and 77 were provided for operational reasons such as business-continuity plans, strategic plans, data‑informed evaluation or community assessments. Departments also estimated funding mixes and cost bands, and staff cautioned those figures will need updating for present-day financial planning.

Staff described common use cases for the tools. ‘Green‑light’ uses include building shared understanding of service portfolios, answering factual questions such as which services are provided to specific geographies or which services receive state funding. ‘Yellow‑light’ uses are digging into trends across multiple criteria and using the dataset to prioritize follow-up research. Staff said the tools should not be used, without further validation, for final budget recommendations, compliance determinations, or service-level mandates because of the dataset’s self-reported and point‑in‑time nature.

Next steps presented to the board included distributing the internal link to the dataset, offering commissioner one-on-one walkthroughs, scheduling a board roundtable after members have had time to study the material, and using the inventory as a starting point for a May 13 financial planning and revenue‑strategy discussion. Staff said departments retained detailed notes — including legal citations where identified — in the service-level summary records and that commissioners may request deeper follow-up on any specific service.

Commissioners asked about several technical matters: where the dataset documents specific statutory or administrative citations, how geography categories (incorporated, unincorporated, urban, rural) were applied and whether items could be filtered to show only services that apply to a given geography, and how long the FY2023 snapshot will remain useful. Kyle and the consultant said specific citations were captured in many service-level summary notes when departments could provide them; the master table had a high-level checkbox indicating whether a service was required by legislative or administrative rule and the summary view showed the underlying notes where available. Staff reiterated that the dataset is searchable and that commissioners can filter and drill down to lists such as the 33 services reported as focused on unincorporated areas.

Commissioners thanked staff and the consultant for the work, described the inventory as a valuable new tool for transparency about mandates and funding, and requested a board follow-up session to surface shared questions and to identify targeted follow-up analysis for the financial planning work later in May.","County staff presented an 18-month countywide service inventory and service-level assessment summarizing 297 distinct services across 23 departments, noting the work is a FY2023 snapshot and an internal data tool will be shared with commissioners for deeper review.","actionData","errors"]
