Washington County staff recommend reappointment of Rachel Schutz and appointment of Alan Perancini to Public Safety Coordinating Council
Summary
PSCC staff asked the Board of Commissioners to direct staff to place a formal appointment of Rachel Schutz and Alan Perancini on the Dec. 17 business meeting agenda after interviews and a subcommittee recommendation; one PSCC seat will remain vacant for targeted recruitment.
Erin, a PSCC staff presenter, told the Washington County Board of Commissioners the Public Safety Coordinating Council is recommending the reappointment of Rachel Schutz and the appointment of Alan Perancini to two-year terms from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2026. The PSCC received three applications during its September recruitment window, conducted virtual interviews on Nov. 4 and forwarded the committee’s recommendation at its Nov. 15 meeting.
The presentation noted two current members—Todd Schafer and Susan Posdina—did not reapply. Erin said the PSCC reviewed candidate matrices and profiles included in the meeting packet and recommended leaving one position vacant to continue recruiting a community member with lived experience in victimization, consistent with PSCC bylaws. “I’m happy to answer any questions,” Erin said after outlining the slate.
Commissioners asked staff when the PSCC bylaws were last updated and flagged language such as “lay community member” for possible revision; Erin said the bylaws were updated recently (she indicated July) and that she would confirm the exact date and the Oregon Revised Statutes cited in the bylaws. Chair Katherine Harrington asked whether the board was prepared to take action later this month; Erin requested the board direct staff to present the formal appointment at the board’s business meeting on Dec. 17.
No formal vote or final appointment was taken during the work session. The board’s role at this meeting was to hear the recommendation and, if they agree, to direct staff to place the matter on the Dec. 17 business meeting agenda for formal action.
