Board of County Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Please take care of those who have been humiliated. Certainly.

This regular meeting of Chair Harrington and the Washington County Housing Authority is scheduled for September 1, 2026. Director Snyder. Yes. Director Price.

Yes.

Director Fay.

Yes.

Vice Chair Willey. Yes. Chair Harrington. I inform you that the directors have been dismissed.

Thank you. So, in today's Housing Authority Board of Directors, there are only five of us. The next in our agenda is the general secretary. This is an opportunity for each and every one of our community members to talk about their relationship with the Housing Authority for two minutes. Clerk Moss, is anyone interested in this?

No one has registered before this session. Does anyone in the auditorium have 2 minutes to talk about any topic related to Parpida? Raise your hand and come forward. No one is in the room. Is there anyone online through Zoom? Is there anyone who wants to give a general opinion on Parpida? I'll give you some time to use the Rice Hand feature. I can't see your hands. Chair.

Okay, then let's move forward. We are going to our consent agenda. There are two lines in it. The minutes of our yoke on August 4th and the approval of a general contractor. What is the board's opinion on today's consent agenda? We intend to accept it as it was announced. We support it. A suggestion and a support have been received for accepting today's consent agenda. Those who agree, raise your hand and say yes and vote. Thank you all. Is there anyone against? The suggestion has been passed unanimously. 5 is a prayer. Next, there is an announcement to the Housing Authority Board of Directors about Camp Rosenbombe. This is a great opportunity for the children in our community who live in any part of our Housing Authority. Therefore, we welcome our residents. Let's start. Superbatham, Chair Harrington, Directors. Let me introduce myself. My name is Molly Rogers. I am the Executive Director of the Washington County Housing Authority. Many people are talking about how we can develop our heritage in the construction work. It starts from our homes. But there is a tradition that I am proud of that I have been able to continue for the past two years. It is about sharing with you the experience of Camp Rosenbombe, which we give to children aged 9 to 11 years old who live in housing authorities. This is a start to a new tradition. Chelsea Kendlin, the program coordinator of this group, is with me today. Not only did she help the children who had the opportunity to go to camp during this rainy season, she also worked as a volunteer worker for a week. Therefore, I am very happy to share with you the details about Camp Rosenbaum, which takes place every year on the last week of July. Camp Rosenbaum is selected by the housing authorities in Odigan and Teckubadinyaran, Washington. Normally, we accept requests in March and select children in April. The camp, which is held once a week in Tira, continues to run. But hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours of service are needed to make this an indispensable experience for the children. They give all the tools, directions, and scholarships they have. I am also a director of Camp Rosenbaum Board of Directors, so I know this matter well. The aim of this week is to work together, to change justice, to contribute, to think, to maintain trust, to be good citizens, and to grow the camp materials in the children. Now I am moving on to Chelsea. Hello, Suprabatham. I am happy to stand here with you and to represent Camp Rosenbaum. I will tell you about the history of Camp's founder, Fred Rosenbaum, and his life. He was a Holocaust survivor. At the age of 12, he fled from Austria to the UK. After being separated from his family for two years in the UK, he moved to America in 1941, when he was reunited with his parents. He and his parents lived in Washington state and then moved to Portland, Oregon. At the age of 18, he joined the United States Army. After the war, he started a career in the business sector at Portland State University. Fred Rosenbaum rose to the position of Brigadier General of the Otigan Air National Guard. He also contributed to his personal and social service. He later served as chairman of the Portland Housing Authority. Fred's camp was established 50 years ago. The kids loved him very much. He was very interested in continuing his education and getting out of trouble. Fred retired in 2010, but his wife still lives in this camp. His daughter and daughter-in-law are also active members of the camp. His daughter shares the important lessons he wanted his wife and children to learn through this camp. So this year, we got a lot of support. We had about 200 volunteers and four staff from Washington County. In that, there were two people from the housing department, including me and Kat Watkins. In addition, there were two people from outside the Equalum housing department. They were very happy to have that opportunity. There were two more like that. Grace Sarpak from the Community Development Office and Shaneum County Administrative Office. In addition, 23 Washington County youth were also involved. As Malay said, they are the children who live in public housing, various vouchers, etc. We are ours. There were camp tags. There are our camp names in it. It is very important today. Then, here are the people who volunteered at the camp. Go to the next slide. Here are some pictures from the camp. As you can see, the weather was very bad, and there were a lot of smiling faces. I was able to participate in the main event on the first day. On that day, we went to the camp and spent time with the camp members. We sang songs, ate snacks, and enjoyed the full experience of the camp. These experiences are very close to my heart, and I am happy to see the food that we give to the children. We believe that this is a food that will last for a long time. The photo on the right below is of Shaina Johnson in the Community Development Office. The whole week, she not only carried out the funeral service, but also brought a horse named Jeremiah. So the children were able to ride on the horse. Shane was very proud, and she knew that she had made all the children laugh. Especially, she gave a lot of happiness to the children of Jeremiah. These memories would not have been possible without such wonderful funeral workers. Especially, thank you very much to those in Washington County. Thank you for your support. We want to come back every year to understand how positive the camp is going. Chelsea helped me identify the volunteers. I gave her more details. We are trying to recruit staff through our personal experiences of how much the camp volunteers a week. My camp is called Beimo. We are very proud of Vinod in the camp. Everyone is calling each other by their camp names. I know only a few of them by their camp names. Even when they are in a military or police uniform. I would like to talk about the VIG Day by introducing myself by saying Grace's camp name. You can understand that I am very excited. Superb! My name is Grace Sarpak. I am the staff assistant of the board. I joined as a volunteer for the first time in July last year. It will continue from now. I told them that they have got me as soon as possible. I have something to say. I am very happy to have been able to do this all week. Lives are changing. That is a great joy. That week was full of my face. My camp name is Coco. All the activities of the Air Force and the coach in Arxlandcraft are in my name tag. You are calling her Kat. If Moli and the housing department hadn't helped that week, I wouldn't have been able to stand there all the time. I didn't have to take a break. It was a great opportunity to do so. So I will do it every year. You know where I will be on the last week of July. I think that some of you will come to our VIG, which is very important, on the day. Commissioner Willie Harrington will come to you after the election. We will not show any discrimination to anyone. Thank you, Coco. Now, I will ask your questions and comments. Thank you. Dear Board members, do you have any questions or comments?

Thank you for making me happy this morning. This was a great experience. I knew about this. But you made the experience of the camp and the children alive in front of me. Coco, we missed you. I'm glad you came back, even though... Even though...

Yes. I thought this was a camp for one night only. But it's not like that. This is a week-long camp. A week-long camp. A week. Okay.

I think this is the right camp for these kids. That's why, when they have to move out of the house for a week and live with a strange person like Coco, they may feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, I used to live a young life. We used to go to high school as kids that day. So it's not a coincidence. But this is a great opportunity for these kids to get a great project. So I congratulate you. This is a very, very important thing. Let me add one more thing to that. Often, children move out of the maternity ward and stay outside at night for the whole week. And they live in military barracks. And nine or ten children have three counselors. They spend 24 hours with other survivors and they also stay with them in the barracks. Then all the counselors, especially female counselors, try very hard to turn the barracks into a beautiful mermaid cave or into a rainbow in many ways. Therefore, they try very hard to make sure that the first few days are very helpful for the children. Because there will be at least one child in each group who is always sad about leaving home. Most of the time, they can spend the rest of the week happily by giving it to them. In terms of being a commissioner, this election was one of my greatest experiences in my first year.

To be honest, it was something I didn't know at all. Last year, I was able to learn a lot about this. I am happy to see it continue. Um, Koko, I thank you for your support and encouragement. I was wondering if I could add more to this, but I am happy to say one thing. You are improving the status quo. You reduced it in the beginning. I am afraid it will change. Yes. Thank you. Thank you to the team. I think this is very important for those who participated.

Let me thank the team again. This is a big thing. I am happy that you are there, Grace. Because they say, they don't remember what you said to them. But they remember what they felt. I am rewriting Maya Angelou's answer here. But I think we remember this answer. I use this answer here. But I think we remember this answer. Grace Coco, thank you.

I would like to say thank you for coming again this year. As a son of a military employee, I was able to participate in various helpful activities including camping and day camps, and I know how much happiness and pleasure he makes in the growth and life of his children and how precious these things are. Therefore, not only through the personal truth-telling of General Rosenbaum and his family, but also through the wonderful foundation that continues through the great board members who turn lives into action, I thank you for giving more details about how we can develop this wonderful foundation. Every year, Also, thank you to the Housing Authority for ensuring that children in Washington County now have the opportunity to grow up and move forward. Thank you for joining us this year. Thank you.

So, we are going to the second general meeting of the Housing Authority Board of Directors. Clerk Moss, we have Mr. Del Fay. Mr. Fay. Continue, Mr. Fay.

Thank you. Chair Harrington and commissioners are talking to Delphi. I noticed that Mike Savaro is not here. Isn't he in housing now?

No, he is on a trip to HOD.

Okay, so I'm going to tell you this with him. Because he's a member of the board. I had something to say about Camp Rosenbaum. I had the opportunity to talk to Grace. She said her brother will come next year. This is an exciting time. So I had the opportunity to check the materials before the game. For those who like to serve as housing authority directors, I gave Timothy Snyder's book, On Titney, 20 Lessons from the Twentieth Century, to everyone. I gave one to Savaro and he thanked me for receiving it. I read those 20 lessons and learned from them. I understand what actions should be taken in reality. When the funds for the construction of federal government buildings are deducted, the salaries of residents of Washington County will have to be deducted. It is a burden not only for the county but also for the cities and the state. You have a direct connection with the housing authority directors regarding the war between Canada and Trump, because you want me to conduct interviews with Chair Harrington about the housing authority. So in an email I received from Timothy Snyder, he said, Trump does not want to understand why he wants a trade war with Canada. He was defeated in the war with Iran, but the depth of his insult to our country is still not clear. Double Quote. It is a good thing to change the subject to a conclusion that we can win before the mid-term elections. But he can't do that. Trump again and again states that he can be a religious, wrong, and anti-national villain. His weakness becomes our weakness. His non-violence or domestic violence is really a disaster. You need to know at least a little about how the business is going to run. Trump doesn't have that. As I tried to explain in the first video and the email I received, this is his basic idea. You can click on it. You can listen to the video in the email. If you only get hard copies, that's not possible. It's not just a loss, it's a big mistake. If the business is low, he doesn't understand what it is. This means that you can buy anything you need or want. Again, there is a small video about it. So, whether it is a grocery store or a coffee shop, you will definitely have a small business. But when you step out of the grocery store, you don't say that it is wrong for you to receive and buy money, and that you should return the money and keep the goods in your hands, right? That is the proximity of Trump to Canada. They are our most important business partners. This is also very bad in this regard. The fact that we have to pay more for the things that we used to get at a lower price means that we have to pay more for the things that we used to get at a lower price. It's like going to a grocery store with a reverse coupon, getting angry when you have to pay for the things, and wanting to pay more for the same things. You can see one of Trump's weaknesses in the center of this. He lived his entire life by harassing people. So he can't afford to make a mistake that no one harasses. He lives in fear of being harassed this time. So it's very easy to encourage him to start a business war with Canada. Just show him a few numbers in front of him. It's enough to say that he is being harassed as an individual when there is a shortage of business. This means that things he has done can be respected by people like Putin, who has done more justice. But he cannot understand the patriotic love for his own country and those who see the sovereignty as a reality and value. So, as I discussed in the second video that you can see through my email, he will be defeated by the actions of the Canadian-elected Canadian Prime Minister or Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He expects them to fall. Because that's the easy thing for a person. Then what would he have done? He would have had to do it himself. But they don't do that. Because of Canada's relationship, this incident is a standstill. They are thinking about Canada's standstill. Again, a small video. These two represent two different national parties. They accept different positions on many issues. But they also understand that the American presence with Canada is intended to undermine Canada's sovereignty. Trump is thinking differently about their own country. This is also a problem for Canadians. We can hurt them. They can hurt us too. But the Americans think that there is nothing wrong with our aggression. At the same time, the Canadians see that Canada has a goal in its own resistance. In a vote, more Americans than Americans in America voted in favor of Canada's response. When Canada responds to this, you can read it. God will read it to you in your spare time. In short, he says that there must be a nation that does not fall into the hands of a man. To be honest, there must be a great awareness about the history and nature of a nation. When we allow the power to be held in the hands of a person who is not aware of the truth or the truth, our sense of purpose is lost. A person who only tries to convince us for personal gain. A person who does not think about the stability of our country at all. A person who makes our trustworthy friends proud. Thank you for listening.

Thank you, Mr. Clerk Moss. Anyone else?

I don't see anyone else in the auditorium. Is there anyone else who would like to speak for 5 minutes regarding the construction of the building? I don't see anyone raising their hands or coming forward. Is there anyone in the Zoom who would like to speak for 5 minutes about the Housing Authority? You have one minute to use the hand raise function. I don't see anyone else. Madam Chair.

Thank you, Clerk Moss. Next are the announcements of the Board of Directors. I have nothing in the name of the Board. So, I request the Housing Authority Board of Directors to postpone the meeting for 30 minutes after 10 o'clock on the same day. Thank you, Directors. Is there anyone who opposes? The vote has been passed.

Anjil Poojam.

We will see you again in 8 minutes. Thank you. Train at the right time.

It will be a late train at 10 o'clock in the afternoon.

These things happen in the afternoon, not in the morning.

Yes, I think so too. Okay, let's start. Welcome to the Board of Commissioners. The cameras will be there. Welcome everyone. Chair Harrington will let you go.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Washington County Board of Commissioners meeting on September 26, 2021. I really like the start of the month. I think we can all hear the sound of the train and the horn ringing here. I hope it won't be so clear in the recording. Hello everyone. If possible, can you join us in prayer after waking up? Thank you all. Next, this is our first opportunity for public opinion. This is an opportunity for our community members to share their opinions with the Commissioner Board on any matter. One person will get a maximum of 2 minutes and a total of 10 minutes for this. Clerk Moss, who would like to speak?

There are four people here. Chair Harrington, the first two are Jill Tree and Bill Moyum.

Excuse me, I don't know the name of the second person. Bill Maloy. Thank you. Welcome, Ms. Tree. You may begin when you are ready. My name is Jill Lettray. I am a resident of Washington County. I am happy to see you all again. Today, I am going to read the 15th number voter vote about the case. Two votes. In the same election, one person votes more than one time for the federal constitution. On November 24, 2024, in the name of Richard Wayne Beeching, he voted in two places. Washington County, Otigan, Skamania County, Washington. According to Skamania County voters, he registered to vote on August 20, 2019. His residence is 272 Taylor Road in Washington. On November 5, 2024, he was elected by the county of Skamania in the name of Tapaal. According to a Washington County voter survey, he registered to vote on August 15, 2023. His residence is on Tapaal Vilasovam Hillsboro on 1805 SE Cornelius Pass Road. Washington County votes in his name on November 5, 2024, and it was accepted by Washington County. According to the national election changes, he moved from Washington to Otigan on August 23, 2021. From November 2024, he has been voting in Washington County. His registration is still in Scamania County, but he has not received any votes in his name. These details have been submitted before the State Secretary. These details have also been shared with the Washington County Sheriff's Office. In addition, the details of those who have left below have also been submitted. In January 2025, Washington County voters will be elected. In November 2024, Scamania County voters will be elected. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Malaloya. Continue. Superbadham, Commissioner. That's a very good one. Thank you.

Superbadham, Commissioners. My name is Bill Malaloya. I've been living in Washington County for 60 years. As the saying goes, the one who walks alone is safe. S.O.N. Kimu, an Uber driver, left a 16-year-old traveler in his car who was about to buy a motorcycle. After leaving the traveler, Kimu noticed that he had forgotten a part of the pencil. There was $8,000 in it. Money needed to buy a motorcycle. To find the traveler, Kim quickly got involved. Immediately, Kim returned the money to the young man who was grateful and relieved. Kim said, do the right thing at the right time. Don't allow selfishness to take you down. Kim revealed the truth. Instead of trying to make money quickly or take away other people's mistakes, when we decide to do the right thing, We don't have to worry about what we say when we preach the truth, because the truth is our only goal. When we preach the truth, we don't have to worry about whether our followers will remember us or our teachings will come out. We don't have to worry about whether we will prove that we are a person walking on the right path. We live truthfully with the knowledge that is in God. In Him, we are safe and free. We are going through a lot of trials and tribulations in life. But God is calling us to walk with Him. By doing so, we will be able to lead a true life without fear. Our Heavenly Father, may Your name be glorified. May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May You still give us the food we need. May You forgive us as You have forgiven those who have wronged us. May You forgive us our debts. Amen. Thank you, Clerk Moses. Who's next? Next up is Tommy Carpenter and Tracy Schultz.

Continue, Ms. Carpenter. Thank you. Let me take my notes here. Hey, dear friends. My name is Tommy Carpenter. I am a student at Beaverton School Board. I am speaking here on my own terms. I am a Democratic nominee for House District 27, West of Washington County. I would like to work with you to ensure that the residents who live in poverty and poverty are protected. Last year, the D.I.S.D.I.S. school district approved a budget that would cut down on 900 teachers. We didn't cut down on the 90 teachers we cut down on. They left on their own. I don't know if they applied for that job or moved to another school district. I don't know. But we are losing teachers because our schools can't pay full funds. I heard stories that not only the teachers' lives were ruined, but also that their relationships with the students were suddenly lost for years. Therefore, the school district was not the most affected by the lockdowns and cuts this year. It is not only the school districts that are in trouble since measure 5 and 50 were put in motion. This has affected park districts, armed forces, cities, and even counties. I can understand why municipalities and counties want to bring in businesses at any cost. This is the defeat of our constitutional law. They are not trying to eliminate measure 5 and 50. But Washington County is special, especially Hillsboro, the heart of Silicon Falls. The basic facilities here turn us into the destination of tech companies. We are everyone's focus. Like Tom McCall said, I have a sticker in my hand. In 1982, he said, It's a little prideful to be calm and beautiful. If you feel that he is right, you will get angry when you see the attack on each of the companies that distribute our underground cables. Your time is up. Okay, can I finish this? No, no, I don't need to spend time. Can I have five minutes? No, okay. Please think about the data center. We need help. Please stop. Please stop. Two minutes have passed. Thank you very much. Thank you for your help as a elected representative. Please move aside. You know the rules, right? You have to follow them.

Mrs. Schulte, move forward.

I appeal to you to create a moratorium for the development of data centers and to produce the necessary scientific studies for it. I would like to speak fully about what is happening on the earth. When the wind systems such as Otigon and White Oak, which are fully grown, are destroyed, we are not only losing trees. Worms that grow for decades, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, Fungus, So, what will happen to the roots of protected oak trees, groundwater, the next waterways, and these systems that have been constantly changing? The Clean Water Service tells us that the Duartin Valley watershed should not be a single development or a single drainage, but rather a whole system. So, where is the scientific background of the watershed about these items? Before allowing more expensive data centers, it is necessary for us to be aware of the effects of wastewater, rainwater, soil pollution, and water pollution in the water shed. I need you to ask the Water Center what kind of ships are needed to support this. If such ships are not in place, please conduct them. If they are there, please promote them. If they are not in place, we need a moratorium for conducting more observations. We should not make decisions that create unrepairable characteristics. So, thank you for your time and for providing pure water. Thank you, Clerk Moss. Is there anyone else?

There is no one else in the room. There was someone who registered online to complete our 10 minutes. Aaron Nichols. Mr. Nichols, can you hear us? Hello, can you hear me? Yes. Can you move your mic a little closer? Can you hear me now? I can hear you. We will try to increase your volume. Okay, forgive me. I am trying my best. Okay. Are you ready?

Yes. Let's start, Mr. Nichols.

Okay. Thank you very much. My name is Aaron Nichols. I have come here to talk about the data center moratorium that you are going to discuss in today's work session. I would like to talk specifically about why data center moratorium is important not only in Hillsborough but also throughout the county. My children and their school are not in the city. We all live in the vicinity of Washington County. And yet, a data center is being built opposite to their school. There is a possibility of more data centers coming. Such systems may come out of Hillsborough. I think Hillsborough's decision is responsible for public health and not for the state. This is a decision for public health that is responsible for a proud county. As I said, there are so many centers in front of the school. There is no special zoning for these. I don't think there is such a zoning in the county. In this regard, I think the state of the county is very important now. If there is a protest in Hillsborough, large AI computing data centers will be pushed out of the city. The governor's amendment will lead to more data centers in rural areas. This will be a reason for many parts of the county to open data centers. In this regard, it is very important for the county to have a religious leadership. Because of the enterprise zones, the county has lost a lot of money. Small cities like Vance will have to rely on the county for guidance on violations. What zoning laws does the county have? Our health and safety as residents of Washington County is in danger. Since our land and resources are in danger, we need to raise our voice. We have sent letters to the Trump administration for things that we cannot accept. Even if we can't stop all data centers, we need to act as a government in the form of a county. I believe that this issue will move forward in the next one hour. Thank you, Mr. Nichols. Okay, the first public opinion session of today ends here.

Next, we have the agenda for today which includes five things. One from minutes, facilities, fleet, parks, from housing services, from land use and transportation, from health and human services, and so on. What does the commission want about today's consent agenda? Commitment agenda is expected to be accepted. We have received a suggestion and a reply for it. Those who agree, raise your hand or vote yes. Thank you, commissioners. Is there anyone who opposes? The bill has been passed in the form of a single five-day prayer. Next, we move on to the announcements. On September 26, we have a bill that will be announced as the month of Atmahathya Prathirodha Bodhavelkarana. Health and Human Services Director Thank you very much, Chair Harrington, Superbatham, Chair, Board of County Commissioners. As the Chair said, my name is Meera Seemantel. I am the Health and Human Services Director here. On the first day of the month of Self-Defence Awareness Month, September 1, I am very proud to be able to come in front of your board today. We have a very important announcement for your board today. It is led by Shannon Marble. You are seeing Shannon for the first time. Shannon is the Self-Defence Coordinator and Postvention Response Lead in our Behavioral Health Division. In addition, Ashley Taylor, who is the community education and partnership coordinator of the Portland VA, VA suicide prevention team, is also our guest. Ashley will be reading today's press release. So I'm encouraging you to read it. Thank you. Superbadham, Chair Harrington, board members, and other community members. My name is Shannon Marble. I am a suicide prevention coordinator for Washington County and a postvention response lead. I thank you for giving us the opportunity to accept the month of September for suicide prevention awareness. This month is very important for those affected by suicide in our community, even if it is a personal experience, I would like to give a brief description of why this is so important to Washington County and how we can help those affected by suicide. That is why, every September, national and local organizations are united to promote the month of Self-Defense Awareness Month. This annual event is more than just an acknowledgement. It is an opportunity to raise awareness about the complex issues that cause suicide, to reduce the social gap that hinders people from seeking help, and to raise the resources available to support people in need. Those who have lost loved ones due to suicide, those who have gone through suicide-related experiences, and those who are struggling to prevent suicide in our society, are the places to be recognized. Therefore, suicide is still a public health problem with a very serious heart attack. This is the 11th place among the deaths of people of all ages in the country. This is the second most common case among the deaths of young people aged 10 to 24 years old in the country. We must forgive. Self-harm is often caused by a combination of emotional, social, and institutional forces. This can affect people in all aspects. When a suicide happens, it has a very big impact. It spreads to friends, relatives, workplaces, schools, and schools. The resistance of these opponents, the previous resistance, and the collapse of the society make it clear how decisive it is. Even though we are making progress, many people still face major obstacles in obtaining mental health benefits. Some find it difficult to obtain benefits due to lack of or long-term waiting. Some are afraid of social injustice, humiliation, or expulsion, so others are reluctant to ask for help. Many communities do not know how to react when they feel that the person they are paying attention to is in protest. In addition, it makes it more difficult to promote and help those who are unable to afford financial support, unemployment, discrimination, and single-parent families. We must forgive. It is very important to accept these violations, because they help us to strengthen access, to improve the knowledge of the community, and to ensure that people get support when they seek help. Therefore, in September, we encourage the community to know more about the possibilities of suicide, to open meetings on mental health, and to share the available information with others. We remind that the only thing that can prevent suicide is to take care of one person, to listen to what is said, to give encouragement, or to share a piece of information. We also remind that even small things that start with sharing a piece of information will create meaningful paths to safety and recovery. We can also prevent suicide by supporting each other through expectation, self-sacrifice, and growing compassion. One of the most beneficial ways to prevent suicide is self-discovery. Washington County Behavioral Health is working together with local partners to conduct clinical trials on mental health and suicide through GetTrank.com. These trials help communities and professionals to understand the symptoms of suicide and mental health problems, and to respond in a way that helps to save lives. Anyone can join these courses. This is a three-county partnership, so if you are interested in participating in one in Portland or Clagamas, you can definitely do so. As more people complete the training, it will be more convenient for our community to connect with people who are willing to give up their time and give up their expectations and save lives. I would like to thank the Washington County residents for your continued support during the month of the Self-Defense Awareness Month. I thank you for your continued support for our community. That's why I'm handing this over to Ashley Taylor. She is one of the many community members that I regularly help, and I am proud to talk and read about the things she does. Thank you. Hello. Suprabatham. Today, I am here to present the steering committee of the suicide resistance alliance for Washington County. This is called Spoke, Spoke. We like it very much. It is very important to me to represent the veteran department. I am a veteran too. I have the experience of living with suicidal thoughts. Therefore, I would like to say more than the other day. Today we are talking a lot about suicide and self-defense. Help is received. People have confidence. We can live with suicidal thoughts. That is the goal. The anniversary of the Washington County Board of Commissioners is the month of September, the month of self-defense awareness. Self-defense is a very important public health event that affects people, families, businesses and communities. Self-defense activities save lives. Suicide is the second most common cause of death among young people aged 10 to 24 in Oregon and the 11th most common cause of death in the United States. Suicide affects LGBTQIA2S+, LGBTQIA2S+, and people of all ethnic groups within the department. People who experience poverty, poverty, or poverty are more likely to suffer from social and life-threatening conditions. Suicide is a social, financial, physical, and life-threatening issue that cannot be solved by suicide. Suicide is often prevented, as well as mental health protection, services, aid services, social education, etc. are included in the entry, and the possibility of harm is reduced among the people. When we promote the environment in which people are empowered to seek help, which gives them wealth and support, it benefits each and every part of our society. It is possible for those who experience mental health issues to work together to develop awareness and relationships. Self-defense is a responsibility shared by people, families, employers, teachers, and social organizations. They participate in the recognition of mental well-being, mental well-being, and helping those in need. Therefore, on September 1, 2026, the Washington County Board of Commissioners announced this month as the month of self-defense awareness in Washington County on September 26. We appeal to all government agencies, public institutions, businesses, schools, and community bodies to reform the practices of suicide prevention in our society, to improve mental health, to reduce social anxiety, and to improve the facilities for employment and employment. Also, if you need any help, contact Shanoni and me. We can help you. Thank you for this announcement. Excuse me, I need a statement from Walden and a copy of it, second. I am available for further comments. Copy, second. At that time, in September 2026, we received a statement from Washington County that the suicide prevention awareness month is being announced. Now I am available for the comments of the commissioners. Thank you, Commissioner Snyder.

However, I thank you for your continued efforts. I think this is a tough job. I encourage you to continue this work. I agree with Commissioner Snyder's opinion.

I would like to let you know how much I value your work as a person. I encourage you to show the wisdom you showed in this important issue. Thank you.

Do you have anything to say to the other commissioners? Okay, since there is no one, I will say my opinion. Thank you to the three of you who came here. Also, to the employees of Washington County where you work, to our social partners at Perumatta Aarogya Behavioral Health Meghalaya, and especially to Ms. Taylor of Portland VA, VA Self-Defense Force. Is what I said correct? Which is correct? Commissioner. No, please correct me. It's a VA, VA, Portland Self-Defense Force. Amazing. Thank you. Um, then I am very happy to have you and Ms. Marble in this next partnership. Um, this is where I need your help. And those three things that help us, that we people are paying attention to, that you can live with suicidal thoughts. I am one of them. That's why I wanted to say and interpret those three things correctly. This is to ensure that you are important to each and every one of us in Washington County, that you are getting help, that people are paying attention, and that you can avoid this. It may be difficult at this moment or now, but you can avoid it. You will do it when you avoid it. So, thank you. So, we have a promise for that too. Those who agree, raise your hand if you agree. Thank you, commissioners. It has been approved for 5 votes. Do you want a photo? Yes. Then I have one more question. If possible, can we go back to the slide at the end instead of showing only the logo of Washington County? It's not a thank you slide, it's the one before it. It talks about the experiment. I forgot to write it. Get trained to help dot com. That slide. Continue. This is it. Let's put it in the background. How is this? Okay. I ask our audience and the board to join this picture. I will take two pictures. Nani? Nani? You can see the full picture of the county government's actions today, because we are moving on to the next public hearings. Let's take a look at a private sale. We need to call a legal partner to make sure that this is done correctly. Um, I will only conduct the presentation and go to the staff presentation and then conduct the general hearing.

Open the general hearing. Accept the testimonies.

Good. Finish the hearing. The reason I asked my friends about that is because we have different types of work and different types of general hearings. I want to make sure that we are doing it right for the first time. So we won't have to do it again. So, next, we are going to conduct a general hearing to approve the sale of the private property described as 212D Poojam Poojam. The board chairman or the person he appoints for the sale of the property worth $20,000, and the board chairman or the person he appoints for the sale of the property worth $20,000, Next, there will be a lot of attention from the staff on this issue. Let's begin, Devaai.

Superbatham, Chair Harrington, Commissioners. Thank you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Greg Vaiman. I am the Facilities Division Manager under the Facilities, Fleet and Parks Department. This general hearing permits the sale of land in the county estate through private sale. This property is located near Sherwood and is near the Southwest Pacific Highway in the urban unincorporated area of Washington County. This is 85 acres. In 1995, the foreclosure was adopted by the county. According to the 2023 Supreme Court Decree of Tyler v. Hennepin County and House Bill 2089-3, this property is not suitable for a property that is too small. Because this has been violated by law. OTIGON REVISED STATUTE 2,75,225, WASHINGTON COUNTY POLICY 703, REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT POLICY This item is suitable for self-sufficiency sale. Let us know how to submit the offer of the item to the owner. The conditions for the announcement of the two-week sale that has been continued in the newspaper have been approved by the county. AYALVAKKATHE VASTHU UDAMA, Washington County Real Estate, contacted the planning department to see if they could buy the property. After thinking with other county departments, the staff did not find any general needs for this property. This property is sold by itself, which helps to bring it back from the portfolio of the county to the market. AYALVAKKATHE VASTHU UDAMA received an offer of $20,000 from the staff. The staff has promised to allow the board to sell this item for $20,000 for the sale of the item.

Thank you, Mr. Weiman. This is the staff report. Do the board have any questions about this? Okay, since there is nothing, I will start this public hearing. Has anyone come to testify on this matter?

No one has registered before this meeting. Is there anyone in the auditorium to comment on this public hearing for two minutes? As you heard from Mr. Vaiman, if there is anyone, raise your hand and come forward. No one is in the room. Is there anyone online to comment on this public hearing for two minutes? It takes one minute to use the raise hand function. No one is raising their hands. Chair Harrington.

Thank you, Clerk Moss. I conclude today's public debate. The current property is sold at a price of $20,000 for the land near it, and the board is required to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board to authorize the board Next, we will move on to our next step, which is to authorize the chairman to sign a trade agreement with the county council. For that, we have a suggestion. I need to approve a proposal and I need to approve it. Before continuing voting, I would like to hear the opinions of the commissioners. I approve the proposal to approve it. I happily approve it. I approve it. We have a promise and a promise to authorize Chairman to join the County Council. I will now give the floor to the Commissioners to share their opinions. Anyone has anything to say? I have. Good. Let's begin.

I am very happy that Ms. Dukie Drees has been able to continue her work in a very successful manner. They served as our mid-term counsellor for a long time. They were there to support me. When I say that you and they have supported me, I am saying this in response to all my fellow commissioners. So, Courtney, I am very excited about this. I am happy about your fate in this career that you have chosen. Thank you. Commissioner Schneider. I can see you supporting your team. I think that is a very important thing.

Thank you for taking care of us with all your heart and soul. Thank you for assuring us that we are getting everything we need. Thank you. Do you have anything to say to anyone on the board? Courtney, I thank you for accepting this position.

Courtney, Congratulations.

I was talking to a person who has been living in Washington County for a long time. One of the questions he asked was, who is the county attorney? I said, Courtney. He said he would definitely understand if he heard it. So, I am happy that you have come forward when the county needs you. So, I am proud to call you county council. Ms. Duke Dreen, you have proved to be a great leader over the years, but you are now the most important leader in our lives for Washington County. You have 13 years of experience in the Washington County Municipal Law. You have contributed to the local governments and their law enforcement agencies. As a member of the Washington County Board of Commission, I have been involved in this for seven and a half years. We have great challenges in how the government should respond to the needs of society and the public. More risk, the size of our labor force, the needs of the people, and the management of labor power have also grown due to labor relations. Washington County now has nine union employees. There are also many big names that help our county council board and the administration. You have been able to ensure that we are in a good position for the legal leadership and the tactical direction towards Bavi. These two are very important. But managerial responsibilities have increased in recent years. From now on, you are in a very good position for Bavi. As you have been given the opportunity to hear from us today, we are very happy to have such a leader to serve Washington County, Oregon. Therefore, co-operators, we have a promise and a message for you. Those who agree, raise your hand to God and say yes and vote. Thank you, commissioners. Is there anyone who opposes? The promise was passed unanimously and five people agreed. Thank you, Chair Harrington, Board of Commissioners. I can say that all my victories are due to my team in the office of the County Council and the office of the County Administrator. Therefore, I would like to continue to make great progress. We have a lot of great things ahead of us. We are ready for that. We are also ready to start work. Thank you for your attention, our County Administrative Officer Tanya Aanji. Miss Angie, I apologize for not asking the previous comments. But do you have anything to share? I apologize for putting them in a hurry. I haven't told them earlier. This is very surprising. Because I usually have a law that says, don't be surprised. Thank you, Chair. I respect the law that says, don't be surprised. This is a board meeting, so I'm used to surprises. So, no. Courtney, for the Assistant County Administrators, for me, and for the One Washington County team, as we continue our service, we would like to thank you for your continued guidance and support. So, we would like to give you these flowers. Thank you. Finally, before we take the photo, Miss. It is a great honor for us that Duke Drees' life partner, William, is joining us today. Thank you for sharing her with us. The Board of Commissioners has two executive partners who not only help today's Board, but also help the VAVI community. You can now see two of our super stars. So, thank you. Now, let's introduce the co-operators. Thank you. So, the first photo section. Then, together with the essay. Thank you very much. We would like to thank the community who supported us in this auditorium on hot days before the second day of the general election. Last week was a very hot day for us. So we had to move to the work session room because it was very hot here. But thanks to the help of the facility team, they were able to fix the HVAC unit on the roof in time. So, thanks to them, it is very cold here. Actually, I had to wear a sweater, because the weather outside has changed quickly. So, we are going to the second general event of today's yoga. This is an opportunity for members of the community to share their wishes. One person has 5 minutes, the rest 30 minutes. As always, you can choose the first or second opportunity. Clerk Moss, does anyone want to speak?

Yes, Chair Harrington. The first person to speak is Dale Fee and Mary Hawke Gulbasuman.

Let's begin, Mr. Fee.

Thank you, Chair Harrington, Commissioners, Dale Fee. I sent you an email this morning. No, I think I sent you two emails. Last night, I couldn't sleep much. I have sent reports to the mayors of Forest Grove, Hillsborough, Beaverton, Cornelius, and their city councillors. I have four things to say. One of them will be very small. Data centers should be kind to our language and suicide resistance. I have sent you the link to the discussion about the moratorium on the data center moratorium on the commissioners of the Washington County Board of Commissioners on August 26th. The topic discussed is the time and money required for moratorium on data centers. County Administrator Tanya Anki stated that some other things will have to be avoided in order to do what Trisom Faye ordered. So, I think the second thing today was suggested by Erin Nichols. In the county work session that starts at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, there is an announcement from three county residents about data centers. Some official questions are being asked to the county board regarding the board in this regard. What more information does your board need in this regard? Does the board want to move forward with a moratorium or another measure? If we want to continue the board moratorium and the administration update, we can avoid any work in the administration because we don't have money. That is my opinion. If you want to continue the board moratorium and control updates, what do you want to achieve through new controls? You have a lot of things to discuss today. Okay, that's the first thing. The second thing is that there was a lack of protocol events at the business meeting on August 25th. I had spoken to a sheriff who was there today, but he was not there at that meeting. Another sheriff was there. I encourage people to discuss the following things. Timothy Snyder's On Titany, 20 Lessons from the 20th Century, says some things in the ninth chapter of the book. Teachings are what you need to do. Be kind to our language. Don't use the words that others use. Even if it is the same thing that others say, think or talk in your own way. Try to stay away from the internet. Read books. Of course, I have a doctorate. What is wrong with what I say in the university? But read books. A lot more. Okay, maybe it will be more useful to you than the speaker. I read it and made a transcript. Snyder's 9th chapter. I woke up early this morning, so I recorded it. I read it myself, take the transcript, and then edit it. So, it's accurate. Okay. So, if you want to hear it again, you can check the link I gave you. It's an attachment. So, you'll get a description of what I'm talking about through Rega. Okay. Subtitles by the Amara.org community What do you call it? Cafeteria room. That's why we call it that. Anyway, in that room, we talked, sat in a corner, shared things. I know that I was a teacher in 1966 and graduated in 2000. I have worked with many students and with people with different types of disabilities. That was my profession. Even now, it is the same. That's why I'm not going to read what's in the text, because it's all handwritten. But when I talked to them, I was able to learn from them. In the hall there, in that multi-purpose room, this is what I read to them. One side calls it that. This is what I read to them as a teacher who had two students who committed suicide. A student I had taught in the second grade committed suicide after three years of high school. Gales didn't have to say that he had taught it in the second grade. Okay, that's what that statement is. A student I had taught in the seventh grade junior high baseball team was the one I called to work to put plywood on top of my house. He took his own life and I had no idea about it. The three brothers next to me committed suicide. At that time, I told them, I have to pay attention to the two houses outside. Apart from the two houses, there were two men who committed suicide. One of them died near the Beaverton Library. That is an act, for whatever reason. That is, it is very dangerous. It is happening in the near future. Therefore, it is very important to declare this suicide resistance movement. What they told me now is that it is mandatory for teachers from kindergarten to high school to participate in this. That is a great thing. But I have one more thing to say. J.R.Harrington, I am sorry to say this, but I forgot to say it. Because you said that, I had to ask you how you can say that ideation is a self-destructive thought. I don't know if I said it right. You said that you had self-destructive thoughts. I told them that it was a very strong action. Thank you, Mr. Fay.

Hello, Ms. Hokio Poulolis. How can we help you today? Superbatham, Chair Harrington, Commissioners. I am Mary Halkos, a resident of Washington County. In recent local media appearances, Secretary of State Tobias Reid presented the following statement. He said, if anyone has any interest, they can contact the county clerks and see the activities in person. The residents of Washington County did the same. They inspected the elections. The election officers and other county residents who were in the sheriff's office were also present. We conducted an investigation and saw the community members and the elected officials. The facts we found about Mr. Reid's claims about our gold-plated elections are also underlined. The first claim is that Oregon governs all states and federal laws. But this is the truth. In 1993, when voters were defeated in a fair election, The National Voter Registration Act has taken a case against Otegan. For example, he did not remove people who did not vote in the two federal elections. In the case of Rekha Baripalanam, Mr. Reed, who was in Otegan, agreed to the case. Some of the people who died, those who did not live, and those who are not eligible are still in Otegan and some of them are voting. At the same time, Chair Harrington said in a work session in June 2026, that federal elections are taking place two years more than the previous election manager, Mr. Forrester, was allowed. According to what we understood, it is always good to double-check the official statements. 2. Voter registration must be certified by the Federal Regulatory Regulation. Truth is a self-attestation. The registration of a voter does not have to be certified by the Federal Regulatory Regulation. The required status is that the Federal Regulatory Regulations are not being followed. The DMV has agreed to register people who do not have a permanent residence permit. Moreover, the rules advisory committee has agreed that you do not know how many people who do not have a permanent residence permit are registered. Many people who do not have a permanent residence permit are registered, get ballots, and vote. Thirdly, Clerk Kumar is managing the voter cards. Truth is, all voter cards in Otigan are in the Otigan Centralized Voter Registration System . They are managed by the electronic registration information center, ERIC, which was established by George Soros. Even if the clerks are assigned to the OCVR to make local changes if required, they are not in charge of the entire party. Moreover, they only have a very small share in the data exchange between the OCVR and Erickoon Tamil. Many make changes to the voter party without the knowledge of the local clerks. The fourth argument is that the voters insist on sending their children to Tabal. In reality, the U.S. Postal Service, or the voting system through TAPAL, is not credible. Authorities have previously denied the board that the ballots were not received by TAPAL, or in the dropbox, or in the voting office. In a work session in June, when this issue was discussed, Commissioner Snyder said, if you want to make sure that your ballot is valid, do not put it in the US ballot box, put it in a drop box or take it directly to the voting office. The answer ends here. Many voters are forced to use a ballot voting method that is not subject to the Bill of Rights. Even so, election officials and leaders claim that this system is safe. The fifth argument is that the agreements in the ballot are a waste of time for forensic investigation. In fact, it cannot be said that a forensic investigation is an agreement being investigated within two seconds by a clerical living with a low level of experience. The fact that there is a proper investigation is similar to convincing the public to believe them. It is not certain that the ballot received by Palam was actually voted by the actual voter. These are just some of the arguments raised by Mr. Reid. There are still arguments, but it is very difficult to understand that our voting system is not a golden state and that it is the only one that makes the people angry. Thank you. Another thing is that our team is currently very busy with awareness, operations, training, and decision-making. So, we won't be able to see you as usual. But we will try our best to provide you with the necessary information. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Hokiopolis.

Clerk Moss, is there anyone else left today?

Yes, there are three more. Travis Rayman and Beth Grasser are the next two. Shemikanam, Travis. Ningal ude. I don't remember the family name. I know that he is the superintendent of Hillsborough School District.

Superbadham, Chair Harrington.

But I am trying to remember the names. So I have to remind you.

Superbadham, Chair Harrington, Vice-Chair Willey. Commissioners, my name is Travis Rayman. I am proud to be the superintendent of Hillsborough School District. I would like to thank our Communications Officer Beth Grasser and Board Chair Katie Rayan for the opportunity to speak to the Commission and share information about the bond. I would like to begin this speech by thanking the county and our various departments for supporting children and families. I would like to begin this speech by thanking the county and our various departments for supporting children and families. I would like to begin this speech by thanking the county and our various departments for supporting children and families. I would like to begin this speech by thanking the county and our various departments for supporting children and families. I would like to begin this speech by thanking the county and our various departments for supporting children and families. Dr. Mary Beaumont-Davis is a person whom I respect and respect as a leader in our society. We have a strong partnership with the juvenile department. We also have a strong relationship with the school resource officer program. Let me say that the deputy career is a blessing to our society and students. So, thank you all for supporting these relationships. As a public servant, I strongly believe that we should do everything we can with the help of our society. I think we can do this through partnership. I would like to continue this partnership and grow it in the coming years. I believe that any discussion about public schools is an effort of 30 seconds or small speeches. I encourage this opportunity to conduct speeches in the community about our public schools. You can read in the doubts and letters that there is not enough benefit for the protection of public schools. The cost of running public schools in the U.S. and Oregon is increasing, and I agree that we have a lower income than it is necessary to balance the budget. Nevertheless, as school officials, we balance the budget every year. According to the Oregon law, we are responsible for doing so, and I and the school board are working hard to achieve this goal every year. Sometimes it leads to budget cuts. When our expenses increase by about 10% and income by about 5%, we are a small country, but let me proudly say that our income is increasing every year. Last year, Hillsborough School District achieved a 90% income increase in history. I would like to say that the students from the Latino department, students with special qualifications or students with IEP, and students who are able to speak English fluently are among the top students. So, not only do all of our students have a high level of education, We pay special attention to the groups and ensure that they get equal opportunities in our system and that they succeed in their future lives. We have a lot of things to be proud of. I think you will also be proud of us in our public schools. I would like to say something about any doubts about public schools. About the public schools in the United States, about helping our students academically and socially, and about changing them into members of our community, I still continue to believe in their contribution. Even when I share my positive beliefs, I know that I must be a truthful person. One of the things that makes me most worried about the current budget cuts in Oregon is the lack of our skills to sustain athletics, theatre programs, and music programs. It helps us to develop relationships with our children, who are members of our community, in terms of cultural relations and community areas. I would like to point out that a strong school system is making a huge difference in our society in the context of slavery, oppression, and the ongoing social issues. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak about public education and to celebrate Hillsborough School District this morning. In the meantime, I will give our communications officer and board members the rest of my time to explain our bond needs. No, in fact, Ms. Blaser will get her own 5 minutes. Good.

Thank you, Chair Harrington, Commissioners' Board. My name is Beth Grass. I am the Communications Officer of Hillsborough School District. I am happy to have the opportunity to talk to you about the Capital Bond on November 26, which is coming to Hillsborough School District. So, this is the first Capital Bond that we need after 2017. We had informed the voters at that time that we would bring them closer after 9 years. The reason why we are doing this is because we are trying to maintain a steady watermark in terms of capital construction bonds for those who do not know how school financing works. For those who do not know how school financing works, there is a general tuition fee of about $1,000 to $5 per year, which closes all property loans. It goes to the public education fund and to the state school fund. It goes back to the districts through the Tulyada formula that helps us regulate the activities of the schools and other residents. But if we want to get money for the three-day insurance in our school district, the only way to save money for public schools is to issue a special general obligation bond. So in 2017, as I mentioned earlier, we put in a capital construction bond of 48 billion dollars. The voters passed it with a big smile. We are really grateful for that. We conducted a large-scale operation with the district. At that time, we asked the voters to stop at a regular rate of 2.24 dollars for 1000 dollars. Now we need a bond of 430 billion dollars. Since our society has been growing rapidly for the past nine years, the amount we expect is $1,001.84. This is definitely less than $2.24. Also, this is less than the amount given by the government for the past nine years. That is, $2.22. We are asking for $1.84. Therefore, we worked hard as a group to understand the needs of the community, the survivors, the students, the survivors, and the elderly. What are our needs in the matter of Melkura HVAC, HVAC, and so on? We are managing 2.7 billion square feet of land in 42 districts in our district. We provide employment to about 18,000 students in Hillsborough. We are the fourth largest district in the state. Our needs are very high. We found that about $617 billion is needed. We knew that it was important to provide free accommodation for the residents. So, to protect the safety and security of our society for decades, we asked which is the most appropriate way to ensure the safety and security of students today and tomorrow, and to ensure that the environment of the university is safe and secure. Therefore, we have made a very thoughtful suggestion. For that, we used a bond development committee. To know the details and give feedback to the public, we held various community meetings. Our board agreed to include all of them in May. The important details about the bond can be found on our website, hillsborough-bond.org. There is an interactive dashboard where you can see the details about the projects intended to be completed in each school. We have a certain responsibility to be responsible for the above. If we can pass this bond, we will use a Citizens Bond Oversight Committee. We will conduct proper audits on our financial matters. We have a long-term tradition of completing the promised bond projects on time and within the budget. We encourage the community to know more about our bond and to ask questions. There are various questions in English and Spanish on our website. You can understand things like, if there are no children in school, why should I support this? Why is this important? Why do you need this? How will this affect my health? All these details are included in that question section. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming here today. Director Rayman, I said it correctly. That's Rayan. Like Reinstein, Rayan. Rayman. Rayan. Thank you for helping me. Chair Harrington, Board members, thank you all. I am Katie Rayan, Chair of Hillsborough School Board. You may have heard about the measure of the Hillsborough School Board from 34 to 355. I am one of the two most respected people in the school district who gave accurate information. I support this bond measure, whether it is a selected workplace or a community institution. I need you to support this in a positive way. I found these bond measure projects through the community feedback carried out very smoothly and in a positive way. This capital campaign is being prepared in a way that the families are not left behind. This will be the place where the previous bond will end. The previous Hillsborough School District bond projects have been completed on time and within the budget. We are trying to show that we are handling public funds properly. This is an opportunity to ensure that our schools are safe and that the work done is successful. Through this bond, doors, windows, fencing, and cameras will be included in the security methods. This creates modern security methods that advance the physical safety of our citizens and students. Safety should not be seen as an option. HVAC, HVAC, plumbing systems, and infrastructure are the main components of the bond. This ensures the safety and well-being of students and their families. As mentioned earlier, there are no special funds for the construction of school buildings and other construction works. The school districts have to provide bonds for the usual and unexpected illegal activities. A school district that does not receive a bond will have to use the money from the school fund if the rules of the agreement or the above are violated. That money is for the class rooms and dormitories. It has to be continued in the class rooms itself. This year, a boiler that is 50 years old in a school in Hillsborough, had to be closed for two months due to a flood. It has to be repaired before old buildings, underground facilities and problems are created. It can be repaired through a bond before it affects the diversity of the class rooms. The bond helps students to achieve their goals and achieve their current goals. The bond helps students to achieve their goals and achieve their current goals. The bond helps students to achieve their goals and achieve their current goals. This includes a new fire science classroom. This helps students to work in the fields of firefighting, paramedics, etc. in Bavi. Our Hillsborough schools can be used not only for facilities, grounds, students and residents, but also for other facilities and various facilities in the area. Under the current circumstances and natural disasters, schools are operating as safe shelters. The bond measure is 34,355 for the entire Washington County, and it is clear how useful it is. Thank you. Thank you, Mark Moss. Do you have anyone else to speak to? If Mr. Secretary completes, our 30 minutes will be completed. Thank you.

I am Bob Terry, Farmer County Commissioner. There are two things that I would like to highlight today. They are good things, and they are a source of pride for you. Even if you don't believe me, I thank you for all the time you have given me, Madam Chair. The time we spent together was very meaningful. You have always been respectful, kind, and fulfilled your duties and duties very well. I am very happy that the staff and I appointed you to the position you are in. I don't know why we didn't do this a short time ago, even if you didn't ask for it. I know you want to ask for it. I am happy to see you here. I would like to work together in the future as we have done for a short time. I have been working in this county for 27 years. I have worked as a community agent in 8 different commissions as a volunteer. Actually, I was an officer in 6 of them. So, Courtney, I thank you all for that. I am happy to see you here. Let's move on to the second topic. This is about the A voting anyway that has been imposed on you for the past year. You have heard a lot about this, and we have made you aware of it. In my opinion, the staff and others have not taken this seriously enough. They have done it themselves, we have held meetings with them, and there have been some changes in that regard. I still don't understand what we can do using the Home Rule as a county, and why it is not being recognized. The announcement you heard this morning clearly stated that it was important. I expect that the new chair and commissioners, as well as the current commissioners, will be able to learn more about the staff and home rule. Your election officer has pointed out to us the circumstances that gave you the wrong information. But nothing happened. As a community leader, seeing all this makes me very disappointed. But we are grateful that you are trying to do some things. I didn't like the new staff boards at all. As an open board, I don't understand what this is. It is not an open board. It gives us time to talk to you in person. Also, there are times when you don't respond to phone calls and don't accept that the community is standing. You don't have open meetings. You choose who to listen to in open meetings. I have been denied permission to speak in open meetings because no one accepted it. They know what I'm going to say. This is not a way to act as an open community, either as you are authorized or not. Therefore, I thank you for giving me these few minutes. I hope that more than 6 people in the public record are watching this now. Therefore, I wish you all a good day. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Terry. This concludes our second public event for today's event.

Next, we will move on to the board presentations, that is, our events to come. Next 9, 8, 2, at 11 in the morning, our County Board of Commissioners work session will begin. After discussing our issues, the rest will continue after lunch. September 10, Sunday, at 9 in the morning, our Board Roundtable will begin. Like usual, after lunch, it will continue until 1 in the afternoon.

The work session will resume at 1 a.m. next Tuesday. On 22nd September, there will be a work session at 2 pm and a Board of Commissioners Business Meeting at 6.30 pm. Okay.

We have a suggestion and a vote for it. Those who agree, please raise your hand or vote. Thank you, Commissioners. Does anyone have any objections? The suggestion has been passed unanimously.
