Top issues during term (20)
Climate action and downtown revitalization
Both projects draw on the voter-approved 2022 Parks and Trails Bond.
Transportation project prioritization
Will shape how gas tax, TDT, and grant funds are spent on streets, trails, and crossings over the next five years.
Downtown Tualatin urban design framework and design standards
Both projects draw on the voter-approved 2022 Parks and Trails Bond.
WCCLS Centralization Project
Tualatin's library gets about $2 million from the county — losing it would have forced the city to replace catalog, courier, and digital services on its own.
Tualatin-Sherwood Road / Rail Crossing Study
Preliminary cost ranges were presented; a project of this scale would need a mix of federal, county (MSTIP), city TDT, and possibly Metro funding.
Building Division fee increase
Permit-payers will see building inspection fees go up 15%, then 5% each year.
Hazardous Materials Emergency Response and Code Enforcement
More proactive code enforcement would require additional staff resources, likely discussed during budget season.
city council election
Current council compensation budget is about $67,000 for FY 2026-27; adjustments to two benefits are under review.
Outside Agency Grant Allocations for FY 2026/27
$50,000 total set aside in the FY 2026/27 budget for outside agency grants.
New Library Director Leadership
Family Peace Center Services
Tualatin is among the cities funding the center through annual outside agency grants.
Lam campus operational noise
Unknown; residents question home values near the constant noise.
Phase three consultant team and Riverfront Park
Both projects draw on the voter-approved 2022 Parks and Trails Bond.
Lam Research Building B Addition Appeals
2027 legislative agenda
Could bring outside grant funding for major infrastructure instead of local dollars.
Tualatin Station Bar and Grill public safety concerns
Housing Needs and Capacity Analysis
Tualatin economy and industry clusters
No direct fiscal impact yet, but future strategies could shape industrial land investment and urban renewal spending.
Republic Services 2025 performance and Metro rate increase
Roughly 50 cents more per month per residential bin from the fee increase — part of a 92% cumulative rise since 2020.
Resident-Led Community Spaces and Code Enforcement
