Members Absent: Patty Lofgren, and Sarah Serata. Staff Present: Redevelopment Manager Sean Farrelly, Tigard Police Commander Brad Sitton, and Sr. Administrative Specialist Joe Patton. Others Present: Mayor Yi-Kang Hu. 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Velasquez called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. The meeting was held in Town Hall with a hybrid MS Teams option. 2. CONSIDER MINUTES The October 8, 2025, TCAC Minutes were unanimously approved. 3. CALL FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS Elise had an item. 4. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A 5. FOLLOW UP FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS – N/A 6. POLICE DEPARTMENT CHECK-IN Commander Brad Sitton responded to questions from the Commissioners and provided an overview of current operations. He explained that the department has two Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) team officers assigned to calls that do not require a full patrol response, such as those involving unhoused individuals. Due to call volume, this assignment has effectively become full-time. The team is supported by a Community Service Officer who has a vehicle and can assist with transporting personal belongings when needed. The department is seeking to hire a fourth officer to assist in a limited duration role. Commander Sitton noted that Just Compassion has limited bed availability, which often results in individuals camping at Public Works facilities during permitted hours. Addressing encampments is more manageable when they are consolidated, as it allows services to be offered more efficiently. He also noted that the city’s website provides access to the Crime Stopper app, which can be used to track crime trends in the downtown and Triangle areas; however, there is no separate category specifically for crimes involving unhoused individuals. Most related calls are welfare checks, during which officers attempt to connect individuals with available services. He stated that Tigard’s reputation for accessible services has contributed to an increase in individuals traveling from Portland and out of state. The city is divided into five patrol districts, with a minimum of three officers patrolling at any given time. While the preferred staffing model would assign at least one officer to each district, budget constraints and ongoing personnel shortages prevent this. An interagency agreement allows neighboring jurisdictions to provide assistance when needed. Fraud cases are initially reported to patrol officers, with detectives providing support as appropriate. TOWN CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION November 12, 2025 Page 2 of 2 Commander Sitton explained that during any Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, Tigard officers enforce Oregon law and do not participate in federal immigration enforcement. He also noted the department has three School Resource Officers, who are interviewed by the school board prior to assignment. He concluded by emphasizing that having additional officers available to respond to urgent calls provides greater capacity to develop effective, long-term solutions. 7. TCAC DRAFT ANNUAL REPORT Sean asked if there were any changes needed to the report included with the agenda. Commissioners indicated they would like the KPI’s included with the report. He will add the KPI’s along with a couple minor edits requested. Commissioners unanimously approved the signature by Chair and Vice Chair once the KPI’s and minor edits are completed. 8. 72ND AVE REDEVELOPMENT SITE DISCUSSION Sean gave a brief presentation that included a map and conceptual drawings. A community engagement event was held with a budgeting exercise to ascertain preferred uses of the property, which included an option to list specific uses. The top specific answer was a community garden followed by amphitheater and food cart pod. The outreach also included meetings with PRAB and CCE as well as residents of nearby transitional and low- income housing. There is a survey available and additional outreach is planned. He noted that the Red Rock Creek stabilization project is taking place and fencing has been installed due to garbage dumping. Council will consider leasing part of the property to Costco for employee parking for a year. They would install lighting which will help with security issues. The TCDA Board will decide next steps. 9. PROJECT UPDATES Sean briefly reviewed the updates included with the agenda. 10. LIAISON REPORTS – N/A 11. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. Sean stated Dan Hayes resigned. The TCAC membership changes effective January 1, 2026: John will become a voting member, Bob was reappointed, and new member Ben Coli.
