Board and Committee Appointments

Open positions on the City of Tigard’s board and committees included those on the Budget Committee, Planning Commission and Library Board. Interviews were held April 16 and 17 and Mayor Hu’s recommendation was to appoint the following applicants: Jeff Darland and Yousef Allouzi to the Budget Committee, Brandy Shockley to the Library Board, Shannon Wilson to the Planning Commission and Giovanni Villa as an alternate member of the Planning Commission. Council approved Resolution No. 26-12 appointing these board and committee members.

 

Board and Committee Standard Bylaws

Assistant to the City Manager Hendrix shared that bylaws for city boards and committees were established over time and governing bylaws and scopes of work varied and lacked clarity and consistency. She presented a document reflecting Council guidance on specific bylaws and new/rescoped committees. Changes include formalizing a Houseless Advisory Board to review Time, Place, and Manner ordinance changes, safe parking reports, etc. and the creation of a Finance Committee that serves as Audit and Budget Committees. The Youth Advisory Council will include a civic education program and advocacy. A majority of Council voted to approve the standardized bylaws in Resolution No. 26-13, as amended. The amendment to the proposed bylaws was that board and committee members may not be elected official’s family members or close relatives except for membership on the  Tigard Youth Advisory Council (TYAC). Changes will take effect January 1, 2027.
