Additional Comments from Board Members
Shelby Rihala—There has been a lot of focus in the discussion of changing the culture of Tigard and I
fully support that, I think it's very symbolic that this one person would change the entire culture of

the City. I think that is something all of us at the City have to do. I recognize the passion behind this
proposal and I don't disagree with anything that's been said about the objectives. I'm not afraid of
change, I'm not afraid of the unknown, I think absolutely we need to get there. But, I think one
person with the expectation they will change the entire City culture, I fear that's symbolic and takes
away from the harder work that everybody at the City has to do.
Valerie Sasaki— I just want to respond to City Attorney Rihala's point because I think this is one of
those situations where the pace of progress moves forward and what we're talking about here is an
incremental step forward.And I think voting against this creates a world where we've allowed the
perfect to be the enemy of the good. And for that reason I am voting in favor of this
recommendation.
