Summary
The board approved resolution 25-26-16 supporting the City of Tigard's May 2026 bond measure for a combined police and public-works facility intended to improve seismic safety, emergency response and community resilience; the motion carried unanimously.
The Tigard-Tualatin School District Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve resolution 25-26-16, expressing support for the City of Tigard's May 2026 bond measure to fund a combined police and public-works facility.
Councilwoman Maureen Wolf and community volunteer Karen Emerson presented the proposal, which they said would improve seismic safety across aging city buildings, enhance coordination among first responders and provide trauma-informed spaces and appropriate facilities for staff. Presenters said the city's current facilities date from a period before Tigard tripled in population and lack modern amenities such as female locker rooms and victim-response interview rooms.
Director Weston moved the board resolution and Director Miles seconded. The board voted in favor with the motion carrying unanimously; no roll-call vote with names was read into the record.
Staff and presenters characterized the resolution as a statement of support; it does not appropriate district funds or bind the district to a financial commitment. The meeting adjourned shortly after the vote.
