Isla Vista board adopts Resolution 25-7 honoring Lieutenant Garrett Tassloff; vote 6–0 with one abstention
Summary
The Isla Vista Community Services District board read and approved Resolution 25-7 recognizing the service of Lieutenant Garrett Tassloff (Tislaw/Tessloff spellings in transcript) as he leaves the Isla Vista post; the resolution passed by roll call with six votes in favor and one abstention.
The Isla Vista Community Services District Board of Directors unanimously approved, with one abstention, Resolution 25-7 on Tuesday, a formal proclamation thanking Lieutenant Garrett Tassloff for his service as station commander of the Isla Vista foot patrol.
The board president read the resolution into the record during the meeting; the document described Lieutenant Tassloff’s work from February 2023 to March 2025, citing his coordination with Associated Students and long-term residents, his role in developing ordinance updates intended to enhance safety (including party and balcony safeguards), and his role in coordinating public-safety resources during Deltopia.
Why it matters: The resolution is a ceremonial acknowledgment of a senior sheriff’s office officer who has overseen multiple annual Isla Vista events and coordinated between law enforcement, student leadership and community stakeholders.
Board action and vote: A motion was made and seconded to approve the resolution. The board proceeded to a roll-call vote. The roll call read in open session recorded the following votes: Director Brandt — yes; Director Palate (Palat) — yes; Director Deschler — yes; Director Freeman — yes; Director Hobart — yes; Director Cipos — yes; Director Talbot — yes. The clerk announced “Motion carries 6 with 1 abstention.” The transcript does not record a named roll-call abstention.
Quote: “I just want to say that I have really appreciated your approach to this role, how you've brought different segments of the community together,” Director Deschler said during discussion before the vote.
Ending: The board and community members took a photograph after the reading and vote. Directors and public commenters used the subsequent agenda time to debate operational matters related to the weekend’s events; the resolution itself was adopted as read.
