The Josephine County Administration Workshop held on September 9, 2025, focused on addressing security concerns at the local transit hub. Transit representative Mr. Chancey reported an increase in vandalism and loitering during off-hours, prompting the decision to hire Concierge Security for overnight patrols.

Mr. Chancey detailed incidents of graffiti and theft, including the recent theft of tools from a bike repair station. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a safe environment for transit users and the community, noting that the presence of security personnel is crucial to deter further criminal activity. The security service will patrol the transit hub from 8 PM to 5 AM, with a monthly cost of $3,000.

The discussion highlighted the effectiveness of lighting in crime prevention, with Mr. Chancey noting that the transit facility is well-lit. However, he expressed concerns that despite these measures, criminal behavior had begun to escalate. The security patrols are intended to provide a visible deterrent and ensure the safety of both patrons and taxpayers in Josephine County.

The meeting concluded with Mr. Chancey confirming that the security contract is flexible, allowing for adjustments based on the effectiveness of the patrols. He reiterated the commitment to preserving the integrity of the transit system and protecting public investments in the area.
