Council Recap – 06/24/2025

 

PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITION

Members of Broadway Rose Theater invited staff and Council to join them as they demonstrated jazz hands, honoring visionary dancer, choreographer and director Bob Fosse on his birthday and encouraging all community members to keep moving, stay healthy, celebrate the rich cultural heritage of jazz, and never forget the joy of performance. 

 

PUBLIC COMMENT

Two written comments were received. One comment was about concerns with the Downtown Tigard portion of the proposed parking management program. The second written comment expressed support for one of the solid waste rate options. Several people spoke in person about parking enforcement and concerns that limiting the number of hours parked could harm small businesses or make it difficult for those with medial appointments.

 

CITY MANAGER REPORT

City Manager Stockwell shared a letter from a mother in the community. "...The children's section of the Tigard Library is a great and safe place for our family. My son has some special needs. ADHD, sensory issues, etc. When he is overwhelmed, he sometimes does surprising things. The library and storytime are so welcoming, well-organized and well-structured that I rarely see any behaviors from him there. Even if he struggled there, I feel really at ease knowing the children's librarians understand children and are inclusive of children with special needs. The librarians always remember us and say hello to my son. We've been able to read hundreds of books since he was born due to the library. When he turned five this week, I asked him what he wanted to do on his birthday and he said, "go to the library." I have so much gratitude for this service in our community.”
