Summary

Summary of formal actions taken by the Multnomah County Board on Oct. 23, 2025, including consent calendar approval, a sheriff’s office budget modification with an attached pretrial budget note, and indefinite postponement of an ordinance affecting the Office of Diversity and Equity.

The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners recorded the following formal outcomes on Oct. 23, 2025:

• Consent calendar: The board approved the consent calendar at the start of the session (voice vote).

• Budget modification R‑1 (MCSO, state rebalance/community corrections reduction): Motion to approve R‑1 carried. Commissioner Singleton moved; Commissioner Moyer seconded. The board approved the modification to move contingency funds to cover a State Department of Corrections funding shortfall that pays for county jail beds. The board also approved an amended budget note attached to R‑1 requesting that the Local Public Safety Coordinating Commission’s pretrial subcommittee present options and resource estimates (status check in January, final report by March 1). The amendment and the budget note passed on roll-call votes.

• Ordinance R‑2 (second reading — move Office of Diversity and Equity from chapter 25 into Department of County Management chapter 7): The board voted to postpone the ordinance indefinitely so the incoming chief diversity and equity officer can help shape any structural change. Commissioner Moyer moved to postpone; the motion passed on roll call.

No other ordinances or resolutions were adopted in this meeting’s formal roll-call votes. Several items were discussed in work session format (federal impacts) but did not produce board votes.
