About

The creation of a Public Safety Advisory Board is one of the ideas that grew from community input and Council discussion in response to the killing of George Floyd. The Board will review public safety practices, with similar community input and draft frameworks anticipated for all other areas of city operations. This Board is one component of the City’s Anti-Racism Action Plan.

More on the creation of the Public Safety Advisory Board.

****

In response to the killing of George Floyd, Mayor Snider challenged the entire Tigard community to join him on a journey to:

Eliminate institutional racism and ensure equity within all city operations and structures
Eliminate institutional racism and ensure equity within the Tigard community
Improve the lived experience of all persons of color in Tigard such that everyone enjoys the same safety and privilege.

Over 500 community members responded with ideas for how the city can meet the objectives. This input was instrumental in shaping the Council's discussion about racial justice and city action.

Board Members

The 15-member board, and two alternate Community representatives were appointed in a two-step process. First, community members nominated themselves. Then, Tigard community members voted for their top choices. The City Council reviewed the top choices and selected seven community members and two alternates.
