City Council Meeting - September 9, 2025

The City Council meeting of Tigard on September 9, 2025, included several proclamations recognizing local achievements and important observances such as Constitution Week and National Policewoman Day. The council approved the consent agenda unanimously without discussion. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to presentations on Washington County local option levies, including a library services levy and a public safety levy. The library levy would replace an expiring tax and fund open hours, book purchases, and community programs, with an estimated increase of about $54 annually for the typical homeowner. The public safety levy, also a renewal with a slight increase, would fund law enforcement, victim assistance, and jail security services. The council unanimously passed a resolution supporting the Washington County Public Safety Local Option Levy ballot measure 34-346. No new contracts or procurement actions were reported, but the levies discussed will impact future budget allocations and funding for county services.
