Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda in a single motion. The consent items included approval of the Aug. 11 work session and regular meeting minutes; two liquor-license applications initially listed on the consent agenda were removed for separate consideration; Resolution No. 5902-25, an intergovernmental agreement with Clean Water Services for the Martonacci Seward Trunk Upsizing Project (design phase); Resolution No. 5904-25, Amendment 1 to the contract with OTEC for design of the 60th/Boron/Saggart improvements project; Resolution No. 5905-25 authorizing a contract award for police department roof replacement; and Resolution No. 5906-25, authorizing staff to submit an application for a 2025 housing planning assistance grant to the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development.

Liquor licenses: Two new liquor-license applications were considered separately. The council approved a liquor license for RECS (vote recorded as 5–1). The council also approved a liquor license for Glow Gifts and Candle Studio (vote recorded as 5–1). The transcript records a single dissenting vote on each of those approvals; the council discussion included an expression of concern from one councilor about alcohol at recreational “make-and-take” business events.

Advisory appointments: Councilors recommended and the council approved volunteer appointments and reappointments to advisory bodies. Reappointments/appointments included Skip Stanaway to the Architectural Review Board, Emily Lanson to the Library Advisory Committee, and Justin Lindley and Alan Pericini to the Planning Commission. Councilors described the candidates as qualified volunteers and approved the recommendations by voice vote (unanimous).

Procedural note: Items listed on the consent agenda were approved in one motion unless removed for separate discussion; two liquor-license items had been removed and were voted on individually.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - August 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council approved the consent agenda including several design and construction contracts, authorized submission of a housing planning grant application, approved two new liquor licenses (both 5–1) and confirmed multiple advisory-board appointments (unanimous).","taxTitle","Tualatin, Washington County, Oregon","taxId",54237,"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},6479783,"Tualatin council adopts intergovernmental agreement to continue school resource officer program",1562,2458000,4020000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5692109-fe7cad4afb625fa0c72e027b3599f9c6&start=2458&end=4020","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5692109-fe7cad4afb625fa0c72e027b3599f9c6/thumbnail_2458000.jpg","/articles/6479783/Tualatin/Washington-County/Oregon/Tualatin-council-adopts-intergovernmental-agreement-to-continue-school-resource-officer-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479783-9caf5350c6a874b2897013e6a4e30956/orig.mp4?Expires=1776397722&Signature=A5YfgCOrGl8j5wN7IH47w8cxOLa~yIVzk01vbXmkQeq80-zqEYAu1wDhLcrnN2ic9ILpFDiB7dA1vDnxxRt1zzacCdwG4T1LwpX~q5B1f3ty0Nd6njVlY71tuyzMGrPrENX59yRUQqC8dAeIXz54xIPQQosD7wCBIGFz9Xcj2XbhGj9W~qiyolHNh3XJg83ryuCaYLJcuc6Q7TzKotY1S36Er-4d~iDAclACXasN1qGgR6bbawfEbR9TNNAn5izS8M0t7KEr~8sjluxp6nwKUYwNCcFz6rGQ3ryOgEKW6-BQG~yIJQW-5pcIOoksPDQQrf5PN4BbG4Xk0LprRyqyOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tualatin City Council on Aug. 25 adopted Resolution No. 5907-25 authorizing the city manager to sign an intergovernmental agreement with the Tigard-Tualatin School District to continue a school resource officer (SRO) program that assigns two officers to district schools.

The council approved the resolution after a presentation by Chief Pickering and School Resource Officer Miller that detailed the SROs’ scope of work and last school year’s statistics. The agreement preserves two officers — one assigned primarily to the high school and one to the middle school — who also provide periodic coverage and services to elementary schools and the Horizon program.

Why it matters: the IGA defines the city–school funding partnership for officers who are embedded in schools daily, providing law-related education, event coverage and case support. Chief Pickering said the district has agreed to increase its contribution this school year to 75% of the top-paid officer’s salary and to escalate that contribution in coming years toward fully funding the top salary.

Officer Miller described last school year’s contacts: 47 offense reports, 10 arrest reports, 33 supplemental reports and a range of incident types including assaults, harassment, DHS referrals, drug incidents and school threats. Miller said most SRO interactions are initiated by students, parents or school staff rather than self-initiated by officers and emphasized the officers’ day-to-day engagement in school activities and restorative responses that aim to reduce referrals to the criminal justice system. \"As Tualatin SROs, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of every student by ensuring each child feel safe in the classroom environment,\" Officer Miller said.

Council members praised the officers’ community work and asked questions about coverage, program outcomes and how SROs engage with elementary schools. Chief Pickering and Officer Miller described event duties (sports, parades, graduation), classroom visits, lockdown-drill participation and outreach such as reading events, and said both officers maintain a regular presence in their assigned schools.

A council motion to adopt Resolution No. 5907-25 passed on a voice vote with all members recorded in favor.","Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 5907-25 authorizing an IGA with the Tigard-Tualatin School District to fund two school resource officers; the district will increase its share to 75% this year and work toward covering 100% of the top-paid officer in future years.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6479789,"Washington County sheriff's office outlines jail repairs, staffing gains and new crime-fighting tools",1768,723000,2491000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5692109-fe7cad4afb625fa0c72e027b3599f9c6&start=723&end=2491","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5692109-fe7cad4afb625fa0c72e027b3599f9c6/thumbnail_723000.jpg","/articles/6479789/Tualatin/Washington-County/Oregon/Washington-County-sheriffs-office-outlines-jail-repairs-staffing-gains-and-new-crime-fighting-tools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479789-0bfc414541dd474b21799b7109d2a84a/orig.mp4?Expires=1776397722&Signature=WcLpe3uH2dCs61fJLDliDbhsN0SpvFkkU4fuZcD4pl~YxtplMXVU3pSUH5rJGFUVFYP7es7KkL2E-w7A76SG0C9xS2937tX85aL4jhWRrHhOLhyv9pnziYkw6WRF2EgmjTkwnFJqqr~p6RKBesX51~hindU6S5ISeNYlUoyK84VKHj~GRxkI-UlELs6zmjRhEW2ocJgiBdj9q8g0NHqjHa5WQYhqtVS0~idnDDNOY5cXo04qHyrKc6PiGotWwJFkYVLwLpy4ohnjhvkSVhpZxYc5avrsGHo1GSmaslLBbaNdoqBrOQhT1JBBuztSgle0Vm4Vf0dSHPiw8GHyTE376w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sheriff Massey of the Washington County Sheriff's Office told the Tualatin City Council on Aug. 25 that the office is restoring staff and investing in infrastructure and technology as it responds to rising gun violence and jail capacity pressures.

The update said the county is “not just fully staffed, but are engaging in over hires” to ensure continuity as officers retire, while three jail housing units remain closed for major infrastructure repairs including a new roof, plumbing, fire suppression and HVAC work. \"Wherever you live, we serve you,\" Sheriff Massey said, framing the presentation around countywide public safety services and partnerships with municipal police departments including the Tualatin Police Department.

The sheriff's office said it has a contract with Yamhill County to use 15 beds for sentenced adults in custody to reduce transfers for court and attorney visits. The office also reported receipt of a $750,000 grant to expand its pretrial release program; the funding will allow the county to bring electronic monitoring operations in-house so deputies will monitor alerts around the clock rather than relying on an external vendor that did not provide 24/7 monitoring.

Why it matters: county jail capacity, pretrial supervision and weapons interdiction affect public safety and court operations across the region. The sheriff said a recently commissioned jail-capacity study projects the county may need more than 1,000 beds by 2055, and he signaled plans to research models from other jurisdictions that pair behavioral-health programming and technology with custody operations.

Chief Deputy Errol McCrae described interagency enforcement efforts and new tools. McCrae said the COvERT (community violence reduction) team, formed in October 2024, has executed 68 search warrants, made 49 arrests and seized 282 firearms. He said the sheriff's office installed a NIBIN (National Integrated Ballistic Information Network) terminal that helps analyze shell casings and link shootings across jurisdictions, improving investigators’ ability to prioritize cases.

McCrae outlined other capabilities and programs: an 11-member drone/ROV (remotely operated vehicle) team that supports indoor and outdoor operations, a search-and-rescue cadet program for volunteers ages 14–17, and Project Lifesaver and Help Me Home programs that aid recovery of missing persons with medical or cognitive vulnerabilities. He described a rescue in which search-and-rescue located an endangered person about 30 feet down a ravine and brought the person to safety.

Council members asked for local context. Councilor Hillier asked whether the rise in gun violence described by McCrae reflected a local trend or a regional/national one; the sheriff's office said the metro area has seen a significant increase and that more local analytical capacity has made previously unlinked incidents visible. Councilor Brooks asked about how limited jail capacity affects custody decisions; the sheriff replied that the office books and fingerprints many arrestees and uses expanded pretrial release and electronic monitoring for people who can safely await adjudication outside custody, while noting serious-person felonies and domestic-violence suspects continue to be jailed.

The sheriff also noted that certain functions (marine patrol, search and rescue, concealed-handgun licensing and civil processes) are statutorily required of a county sheriff’s office. He mentioned, without presenting details, a planned public safety local option levy on the November ballot and said the sheriff's office is preparing materials to respond to public questions.

The presentation closed with the sheriff emphasizing partnerships with municipal departments, including Tualatin Police Chief Pickering, and an invitation for councilors to review the office’s annual report and forthcoming data responses to earlier council questions.","Sheriff's office presented jail repairs, a $750,000 pretrial grant to bring electronic monitoring in-house, a jail-capacity study through 2055, and crime-fighting initiatives including a NIBIN terminal and an interagency COvERT team.","actionData","errors"]
