City of Cornelius Agenda Report

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Ryan Wells, Community Development Director Through: Rob Drake, City Manager Date: December 3, 2018 Subject: Resolution No. 2018-44: Acceptance of Ott Orchards Tract B Deed

Summary: The Ott Orchards final plat has been approved and the mylar awaits signature by the Community Development Director and the Planning Commission Chair. In order to convey Tract B of the Ott Orchards final plat to the City for a public water quality facility, approved as part of the Ott Orchards Planned Unit Development and Subdivision, a statutory warranty deed for the tract must be approved by the City Council.

Background: The Ott Orchards subdivision was approved by the Planning Commission in January 2017 and consists of 11 development lots, one private tract, and one public tract. The final plat for Ott Orchards has been approved by the Community Development Director. While the dedication of rights-of-way and public easements may be done through the final plating process, the Washington County Surveyor requires a separate deed for conveyance of any tracts to the City. This Resolution indicates the City Council’s acceptance of the statutory warranty deed for Tract B of Ott Orchards, which will be used for a public water quality facility as conditioned through approved Land Use File No. CUP/PUD-02-16 and SUB-02-16.

Financial Implications: Following a two-year maintenance period, the Cornelius Public Works Department will be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the public water quality facility into the future.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council accept the statutory warranty deed for Tract B of Ott Orchards.

Proposed Motion: I make a motion that the Cornelius City Council approve Resolution No. 2018-44, A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE STATUTORY WARRANTY DEED FOR CONVEYANCE OF TRACT B OF OTT ORCHARDS TO THE CITY OF CORNELIUS and this action takes effect immediately.

As a life long resident of Washington county I’ve watched the area grow. As I’ve been able to watch the growth, I’ve see some things that worked well and others that have not. I’ve also owned rental property in Cornelius and Beaverton for many years as well as being a home owner which adds to my sense of connection to the community. I’ve also worked at Sheldon Mfg in Cornelius for 21 years. With the recent expansion of the UGB, my home and family are now officially part of the Cornelius community. I feel that with my background and familiarity with the area I am uniquely qualified to add to the planning and future development of the area. I also feel a need to participate and be an active member of the community.

City of Cornelius Agenda Report

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Rob Drake, City Manager Date: November 29, 2018 Subject: Presentation-Coalition of Communities of Color

Summary: In late 2016, the City of Cornelius began participating in a study of minority communities in Washington County being coordinated by the Portland-based Coalition of Communities of Color. The City Manager served on the steering committee and attended the meetings as a representative of the City of Cornelius. Other City Managers also served on the steering committee. Most other cities in Washington County participated, including Forest Grove, and the cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard and Tualatin, Washington County, Centro Cultural, Adelante Mujeres, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center and other organizations. The reported was completed this past summer 2018.

Because the west end of the county has the highest percentage of Latino residents, a focused analysis was conducted and completed for the Cornelius and Forest Grove areas. In addition to the Executive Summary, the specific Latino community analysis and research paper is included with this agenda bill.

Background: Washington County has become a “melting pot” of ethnicities in the past twenty-five years. Much of this can be attributed to our strong agricultural base and the evolution of the high technology “Silicon Forest” of companies that have situated here and spun-off to form other new companies. Due to the strong growth of high technology jobs and companies, political leaders make the analogy that Washington County has become the “economic engine” of Oregon.

Financial Implications: Our diversity creates a strong workforce that can support many industries. In addition to employment opportunities, our diverse ethnic base also makes Washington County a more interesting place to live, creates more opportunities for residents to learn about a range of people, and supports growth that has stimulated our local economy for several decades.

Staff Recommendation: The lead researcher for the Coalition of Communities of Color project was Dr. Shweta Moorthy, PhD. She will be making the presentation and highlighting the findings at the November 5 City Council Meeting. Please listen to Dr. Moorthy’s presentation and ask questions.

Proposed Motion: No motion is needed at this time.

Process Principles

.Steering committee of community • Communities as experts. organizations and local governments, school districts • Communities of color positioned as researchers rather than objects of inquiry. .Community conversations with eight communities of color in Washington County • Opportunity for communities of color to conduct critical and systematic inquiry into their everyday life conditions. .Community review process • Counter dominant cultural narratives .Opportunities for advocacy post-research WHAT’S IN THE REPORT

8 Community narratives with data– Native American, African-American, African, Asian and Asian American, Latino, Middle Eastern and North African, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, Slavic.

4 jurisdictional profiles: Data snapshots of 8 communities in (1) Beaverton area (2) Cornelius and Forest Grove (3) Hillsboro, and (4) Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood.

Call to Action LEADING WITH RACE: RESEARCH JUSTICE IN WASHINGTON COUNTY (FINDINGS)

1. People of color have always lived in Washington County. We are part of the economy and social fabric. We strive to make it our home.

2. Our reality consists of both experiencing oppression by racist institutions and practices and our resilience and resistance to that. We are made to feel both invisible and hyper-visible.

3. Communities of color are experts in our lived experience and Washington County will be better by working together. FOREST GROVE-CORNELIUS DATA SNAPSHOT

• Estimated population sizes of communities of color in Cornelius and Forest Grove are—1,502 Asians, 481 Black, 11,829 Latinos, 830 Native Americans (US Census 2011-2015). • 71% of Asians, 30% of Latinos, and 79% of Native Americans, are 18 years and older and US citizens, which indicates the depth of leadership and voting potential among these communities. • In Cornelius and Forest Grove, Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans compared to Whites in Cornelius and Forest Grove, have less per capita income. • In Cornelius and Forest Grove, Latino women are the lowest paid female full time workers in Cornelius and Forest Grove. • Asian, Latino, and Native American children are more likely to have both parents in the labor force, which includes people currently working and those looking for work. • Latino homeowners are more likely to be cost- burdened than White homeowners in Cornelius and Forest Grove. COMMUNITY VOICES “People have to know because they really don’t know anything about us and the history of the area. We’ve become invisible. There are books available that could be required reading in schools.” “At the schools if they can find one adult who cares, one person who that student can make a connection with. I think knowing there’s somebody at school that’s going to talk to them and say, your child is doing great. They can go to college. Instead of earning $12 they are going to earn $40 an hour if they go to college.” “We need language services to..I don’t want to use the phrase ‘fitting in’, but to be independent and provide for your family. I want to sustain and strengthen my culture rather than be lost and overwhelmed by other cultures.” “We raise a lot of dollars for our community needs. Indians are very active in temples and stuff like that. But when it comes to politics, we haven’t had much of a voice.” “There is a term I really hate right now, that term of cultural fit. I see that being used a lot to me as a way to keep people out of employment. Let’s get together and make sure you are the right cultural fit. Right fit for the team. That team is 80% White, you are a natural misfit.” “I speak three languages and am doing my Master’s. My boss is over-the-moon excited I took that job because I’m way over-qualified. Why did I take that job? Because there’s no way to get the jobs I deserve in this county. So you start applying to those jobs where you have a better chance.” “Often when you will walk into one of those local offices, and they say where are you from? Or how are you enjoying our country? There is not that emotional intelligence. You don’t assume just because a person is looking a certain way or dressing a certain way.” COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED STRENGTHS LATINOS IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

• In 2012, Census recorded a 28% increase in Latino small businesses in Washington County between 2007 and 2012. This has happened despite the fact that a Stanford study about Latino businesses across the US found that they have the lowest rate of financing via bank loans, the traditional funding mechanism for small businesses. • High-income Latino home loan applicants are 125% more likely to have their home loan application denied compared to high income White applicants. • Latino children are 267% more likely to be in poverty compared to White children below the age of 18. • Latino full-time workers earn less than White full-time workers and overall county workforce at similar levels of education. • Approximately 9,000 Latinos are permanent residents eligible to naturalize  adding 5.2% to Citizen Voting Age Population in the county. • Latino high school graduates are enrolled in college at higher rates between 2009 and 2014 at a time when overall college enrollment rates are declining among county high school graduates. CALLS TO ACTION

1. Call out and execute cross-sectoral change 6. Make space for communities of color to run, acknowledging compounding effects of vote, be elected and supported in racism leadership; civic engagement inclusive of citizens and immigrants. 2.

We celebrate this coming together of community and government in equitable partnership in this research project. While this report represents the culmination of our initial inquiry, we intend for it to catalyze dialogue and action to build the community we want. We seek to unite people and various stakeholders in Washington County in collective action for the advancement of racial justice. It is time to act. The report is presented in three parts—eight community sections reflecting the lived experiences of eight communities of color living in Washington Coun- ty; data snapshots of four jurisdictions in the county that identify some key socio-economic outcomes for communities of color living in those cities; and a Call to Action that implores readers to take recommended actions based on the findings in this report. Communities of color in Washington County deliver three key messages. People of color have always lived in Washington County. We are part of the economy and social fabric. It’s our home and we like living here. There is a popular refrain in Washington County articulated by elected officials, governments, community members including people of color—“Washington county is diversifying.” This adage has become such a part of the county zeitgeist that it whitewashes the history of the county, which is a narrative that reinforces the White settler history often thought to be the official history of the United States. It fails to acknowledge that the reason why the county has been so White and has been diversifying only recently is inseparable from the genocide of Na- tive American tribes, historical “sundown” laws and redlining against Black people, exclusionary policies that restricted immigration from countries other than

Europe until the Immigration Act of 1965, and displacement of people of color due to gentrification. Communities of color have always lived in Washington County and they strive to make it their home. This land is Native land stolen by White settlers. It was cultivated, industrialized and developed by Black enslaved labor, Latino and Japanese farm workers, Indian lumber mill workers and Chi- nese railroad workers. The Silicon forest cannot function without the intellect and labor of communities of color.

“Just think about this area—whose land are we on? There was a bunch of little tribes that have been wiped out and we have to learn who exactly they were and teach the kids that you are right here in this area where those tribes were.”

The Latino workforce is integral to the economy of the Silicon Forest and a driver of Oregon’s agricultural productivity–results of the value placed on education. Immigrants and refugees from African and Middle Eastern countries are skilled professionals who like living in Washington County for its diversity, plentiful space and as a good place to raise and educate their kids.

Washington County is what it is today because communities of color were born here, moved here, refused to leave despite genocide and exclusionary laws, and have put down roots here.

Our reality consists of both experiencing oppression by racist institutions and practices and our resilience and resistance to that. We are made to feel invisible and hyper-visible.

Communities of color in Washington County, compared to their White neighbors, experience disproportionately negative outcomes in employment, income, education, community safety and health. In Washington County, Viet- namese and Filipino workers have lower incomes at similar levels of education as White workers; high income home loan applicants who are Black are 86% more likely and Latino applicants are 125% more likely to have their home loan application denied compared to high income White potential homeowners; Somali speaking students are 197% more likely than White students to be expelled or suspended from school; 68% of Native American single mothers with children are in poverty in Washington County, a higher rate compared to 48% of Native American single mothers in poverty in the US. These are the cumulative result of racist institutions and practices like immigration and criminal justice policies, opportunity gaps of students and mortgage lending practices. Racism is real, it’s historical and it is practiced and sustained today. Across different communities of color, residents talk about being made to feel both visible and invisible in

different ways. They are made invisible because of the size of their communities, immigration (both documented and undocumented) that pushes some into the shadows or disengages them from civic life, systematic attempts of genocide and exclusion, data practices that are inappropriate, non-representative and not trauma-informed, and by perceptions that some communities are not even part of racial justice. On the flipside, racism, intersecting with xenophobia, Islamopho- bia and patriarchy, “see” communities in very stereotypical and harmful ways. Communities battle racial stereotypes about being illegal, criminals, terrorists, lazy, living off welfare, and “model minorities.” Despite all of this, communities of color live, play, pray and work in Washington County. We build support networks, create small businesses to nourish their communities, organize around and advocate for dismantling racist barriers that will not only improve their lives, but will raise the quality of living for the entire county.

“I was talking to a White person at this restaurant I go to, and we had this discussion about race. He says to me, “you Asian people are not like the Black people that leech off the system or these undocumented workers that come across the river and take all these jobs. I wish other minorities are just like you guys. This country would be even better.” I just sat there, and I was like okay, I will not be eat- ing with you anymore.”

We are experts in our lived experiences, and Washington County will be better by working together. This report shows us how to do that. Communities of color are experts on their reality and experiences. They are leaders. They must be part of removing barriers and dismantling deeply rooted racist institutions and practices.

“No decisions about policies about our lives and outcomes can be just and equitable if it does not involve those most impacted.”

Institutions, and schools particularly, need to value and promote the multitude of languages, cultures, and histories of Washington county residents. Communities possess experiential, historical and cultural knowledge which must be centered in any data research initiative. Accurate data–using community verified, equitable practices—gives businesses, local governments, police, courts and schools effective information and tools for their decision-making, and their effective engagement with families, students and Washington county residents.

“People think all Africans are the same; that we have the same problems, same culture, that we come from the same place. But that’s not true.” COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

The Native American community narrate their history as resisting colonialism that at its worst sought to wipe them out and take their lands and resources, and at the very least sought to render them invisible by displacing them, criminal- izing them, taking and assimilating their children, and robbing them of their traditions and heritage. The community is small in Washington County because of White settler genocide and forced sterilization of Native women.

8 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

Even now, institutions carry forward that legacy of invisibility and assimilation in school curriculum, in the child welfare system, in data practices that label the community as too small to be “statistically significant.” For Native American communities, it is crucial that the colonization of Native Americans be taught in schools and to elected leaders and government officials. However, the legacy of oppression is not just a matter for the history books. The community continues to be targeted by a wide-ranging spectrum of institutional racism. Their reality is equally of resisting colonialism and racism, and rebuilding, nourishing and pro- tecting the community. They have made a home in Washington County, many work with Beaverton and Hillsboro school districts to organize Native programming to strengthen multigenerational community building, and in 2012, there were approximately 500 Native owned businesses in Washington County that disbursed 11 million dollars in payroll and contributed 47 million dollars to the local economy.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

There is little documented history of the community in Washington County but community conversations suggest that some African-Americans have lived in the county for decades, some are newer residents; some left and moved back, some migrated from Portland, and some moved here from other parts of the country. Good schools, affordable cost of living compared to Portland and safe neighbor- hoods attracted African-Americans to settle down in Washington County. They have also experienced the old Jim Crow becoming the “new Jim Crow” in Ore- gon as Exclusionary Laws of the 1800s became redlining and divestment in the twentieth century and gentrification and displacement in the twenty-first. Black people of all income levels continue to experience discrimination in home loan

10 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

lending practices. They also deeply feel the criminalization of Black bodies as the most likely community to be incarcerated in the county. Black kids are most targeted by harsh disciplinary practices in schools. Despite every attempt to drive African-Americans out of Oregon they are still here and advocating for themselves and their families, friends and community members. This is their biggest victory against racism. Community members want infrastructure to organize the African-American population in Washington County. The community also identifies building political power and redressing the lack of diversity in decision-making as a high priority for social change in Washington County. They are skeptical about hollow attempts at diversity and representation that does not change outcomes either for their community or for people of color on the whole.

AFRICAN COMMUNITIES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

The African community in Washington County are varied and diverse—they are rich in cultural and linguistic diversity, in life experience as citizens, immigrants and refugees; as youth and elders, as working professionals and as students. Be- ing subsumed under the label “African” is problematic for many community members because it masks the diversity of experiences in the community and is connected to frustrating mainstream racialized stereotypes of Africa as a country rather a continent of different countries. They like living in Washington county

12 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

for its diversity, plentiful space and as a good place to raise and educate their kids. They also miss the community they left behind and want opportunities and spaces to build community here. African communities have high levels of education and expertise and they call attention to institutionalized racism in schools, employment and workplace culture and criminal justice, which constrains them from contributing their full potential to Oregon. They also prioritize boosting

culturally specific infrastructure as well as small business creation that supports community well-being. They urge readers and policymakers to take the experiences they share as a starting point and and take action and resource the community that is already advocating for themselves to become partners in bringing about transformational change in Washington County.

ASIAN AND ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

The stories of Asians and Asian-Americans in Washington County are stories of migration. The presence and size of Asian groups that live in Washington Coun- ty are a direct outcome of the Immigration & Nationality Act of 1965 and US Cold War politics in Southeast Asia. There is little recognition of that reality as well as the history of Asian communities who were used for their cheap labor in the nineteenth century, were subsequently villainized and excluded from the country before being allowed back in based on the US economy’s needs. Racism in the US has lumped together communities of different histories and heritage into one catch-all Asian identity. Consequently, data practices assume that all Asians have similar socio-economic outcomes that are at par if not better than

14 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

White people. This has resulted in systemic practices that pit communities of color against each other. Asians, overall, are propped up as “model minority”— people of color who are seen as well educated and high income, law abiding and assimilating into American society, against African-Americans and Latinos who are vilified as not being able to “pull themselves up by the bootstraps,” being “riven” with crime, and “refusing” to assimilate into the mainstream. Asian and Asian-Americans consider these to be extremely harmful because it both prevents them from articulating the manner in which institutional racism impacts them and marginalizes them from participating in bringing about transformational racial justice change in their region. Community members prioritize data disag- gregation as a means of deconstructing the Oriental notion of “Asian.” They also militate against racist tropes of being considered foreigners and therefore not a part of civic life even though 43% of Asian and Asian-American communities in Washington county in 2016 were born in the US and that population has grown at a rate similar to immigrants in the community. Throughout their historical economic segregation and their current reality, Asian and Asian-American communities have shown up for each other by welcoming new immigrants, hosting cultural gatherings to combat isolation, opening and patronizing community- owned businesses.

LATINO COMMUNITY IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

Latinos have a long and rich history as residents of Washington County. They are a critical political, social and economic driving force here. The Latino workforce is integral to the economy of the Silicon Forest and a driver of Oregon’s agricultural productivity. From the time that they first came to Washington County as

16 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

seasonal farmworkers, the community has built community and infrastructures of support to counter the isolation, exclusion and marginalization effects of con- tinuing immigration policies. While immigrants have served to support the economic growth of the US and been drivers for economic productivity, some of them have not been granted the regard and legitimization of becoming documented. The community is diverse and more than one story, as much as racism tries to put them in a box of stereotypes. Community members emphasise both the persisting intergenerational impact of exclusionary immigration policies and economic marginalization, as well as the creative and resourceful ways in which they have endured and pushed back against structural racism. As the community has grown in the region, representation in leadership and decision-making tables have not kept up. Latinos in Washington County are increasingly coming out of the shadows that they were forced into by fear of anti-immigration policies and economic injustices, and prioritizing civic engagement and building political power. They are increasingly running for office, getting elected and re-defining leadership.

MIDDLE EASTERN AND NORTH AFRICAN COMMUNITIES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

Middle Eastern and North African community members in Washington County are part of immigration waves to the US that started in the early twentieth century. The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act that removed restrictions on immigration from regions other than Europe ushered in a wide variety of Middle Eastern and North African immigrants including those seeking education, employment and family unification as well as refugees fleeing conflict. They strive to put down roots in Washington County. They have been building and strength- ening culturally specific organizations here that serve their community and build

18 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

relationships with mainstream society. Despite their rich intellectual and cultural potential, they are hyper-visible and invisible in harmful ways. A long history of US involvement in the Middle East including the wars in Iraq, post 9/11 Is- lamophobia, the Syrian refugee crisis and Trump administration’s ban targeting Muslims from that part of the world, makes Middle Eastern communities appear and be treated as an omnipresent threat to US society. At the same time, they are invisible in policymaking and data practices. Community members seek recognition of their tremendous potential and vitality, and dismantling of barriers constraining them especially refugee communities. COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

NATIVE HAWAIIAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander identity encompasses at least twenty distinct communities, including Chamorros, Chuukese, Fijians, Marshallese, Native Hawaiians, Samoans and Tongans. They have experienced a legacy of colonization and political control by the US including being the base of nuclear weapons testing starting in 1946 that adversely impacted their social structures,

20 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

health outcomes and way of life. They are the fastest growing community (for whom data is available) both in the US and in Washington County. They have a strong sense of cultural identity but racist policies and institutions make them invisible by putting them together with Asian communities, which assumes they

have similar histories and socio-economic experiences. As Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities strive and advocate for issues that impact their lives and greater visibility and representation in public policymaking, they emphasise the need for more refined ways to tell their own stories. They prioritize the expansion of diversity and equity to include their lived experiences distinct from the “Asian Pacific Islander” label and for visibility in data practices that are the basis of policymaking.

21 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

SLAVIC COMMUNITY IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

The Slavic and Russian-speaking community has been the largest refugee-based community in Oregon. Slavic and Russian-speaking immigrants were historical- ly attracted to Oregon because of its farmland. Washington County has provided jobs (many work at Intel) and looked enough like their home countries, that the immigrant groups were able to establish their own communities. They live and work in the county, but few locals realize they are here. The reasons for the invisibility of the Slavic community are their appearance as White Caucasians and their preference to live in tight-knit communities. On the one hand, they are differentially treated as White by institutions such as law enforcement and schools, and on the other hand, their issues and concerns especially related to

22 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

language barriers, recent immigrant families, and foreign credential recognition are overlooked. They ask for visibility in data and policymaking so their experiences in the school system, child welfare, criminal and juvenile justice, health and social services are counted.

23 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

RESEARCH JUSTICE

Community based participatory research methodology of this project is informed by our research justice vision and creates space for communities to be leaders and partners at all decision points of the research process. Our vision of research justice centers the issues of power and equity in research processes and argues that mainstream research practices and data have perpetuated systemic inequities. The CCC starts with the premise that the research process needs to be just and equitable, and to shift communities of color from research subjects into researchers, knowledge producers and communicators. Research practices should be anti-racist to achieve the racial equity we seek to achieve in the region. There are stories and priorities that communities of color and likeminded elected officials, public and private stakeholders want to tell about about the impact of institutional racism on lived experiences and there are stories that we are limited to telling because of data constraints. Communities of color are resilient; they have persisted, survived, mobilized and advocated. They are still here in Or-

24 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

egon despite repeated systemic attempts of genocide, “sundown” laws, restrictive immigration policies that also extract their labor, Islamophobia and xenophobia. They continue to counter and push back on persisting racial inequities. Howev- er, mainstream data practices have either wilfully or unintentionally rarely cap- tured this resilience. Most attempts at data collection and analyses have rendered communities even more invisible or inflicted more trauma. Let the stories that are missing be a call to action for research justice—to empower communities of color as experts of their experience.

25 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

CALL TO ACTION

We believe that Washington County is strongest when our communities thrive, where we are valued and respected, and the assets, strengths and resilience of our communities recognized. The following calls to action have emerged from this project. These are framed in a way that encourages various stakeholders such as local government, elected officials, public agencies, law enforcement, school districts, boards and commissions, private sector such as businesses, corporations and schools, to build power among communities of color to partner in racial justice change in Washington County. They are written in broad themes to give space for community-led, creative and cross-cultural solutions.

1. CROSS-SECTORAL CHANGE: Communities of color experience institutional racism across systems of immigration, education, economic development, housing, health, incarceration and racial profiling and so on. Their experience in one system directly ties to their -in tersecting identities including documentation status and their experiences with other systems. a. Transformational change is cross-sectoral change and strategies should take into account the compounding effects of racism especially on undocumented immigrants and low-income people of color. b. Public and private institutions should prioritize and use their power to call out and dismantle racism across sectors.

2. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT: Communities of color are re-defining equity, inclusion, diversity and leadership and leading strategies to bring about transformational change. a. Governments and public agencies should continue to emphasize the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion by including all communities of color in decision-making. b. Governments and public agencies should redress lack of representation

26 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

and integrate communities of color into every fiber of public governance such as budgeting and procurement, and hiring and retention of employees of color. c. Governments should build partnerships and relationships with communities of color and not be transactional, by valuing the time, expertise and experience of our communities of color and addressing barriers to participation. d. Governments and public agencies should collaborate with one another to create and implement racial equity plans. e. Democratic government should form boards and commissions in partnership with communities of color that have decision-making power and to which they are accountable.

3. CULTURAL SPECIFICITY: Communities of color have varied histories and lived experiences in Washington County. a. There should be increased allocation of public and private resources for culturally specific and trauma informed services and programs. b. There should be increased provision of culturally specific and trauma informed services and programming especially in education, social services and healthcare.

4. EDUCATION: Communities of color see education an important pathway for economic empowerment, an important basis of community building and cultural identity development among youth. a. Educational institutions should value, nourish and promote the various histories, heritage and languages of the student body. b. Educational institutions should reform practices to be empathetic of the lived experiences of students of color especially from low income, immigrants and refugee families in order to foster access to high quality education.

27 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

c. Educational institutions should address and dismantle barriers rooted in institutional racism to eliminate disparities in outcomes and experiences of all students of color. d. Educational institutions should be safe places for all students of color.

5. EQUITABLE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: Communities of color contribute to the local and regional economy and seek to make Washington County their home. a. Public and private employers should ensure pay equity, opportunities for career advancement, workforce development and a safe and welcoming environment for employees of color especially for refugee communities. b. Both public and private institutions should dismantle discriminatory practices such as in financial lending practices, promote entrepreneurship among communities of color, recognize the aspirations, drive and talents of immigrants, and ensure affordable and fair housing.

6. POLITICAL REPRESENTATION AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: Communities of color not only have a large voting eligible population, they are also organizers, thought leaders, candidates for office, elected officials and members of boards and commissions. a. Elected and appointed officials in all government and public agencies should reflect the communities of color they serve. b. Those in positions of power should make space for communities of color to run, vote, be elected, and be appointed to decision-making positions at all levels of power. c. Those in positions of power should create structures of support for people of color in elected and/or decision-making positions at all levels of power. d. Civic engagement should be inclusive of all people whether they have the right to vote or not.

28 COALITION OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

7. COMMUNITY BUILDING: Communities of color live, play, pray/worship and work in Washington County despite centuries of racism and oppression. a. Their efforts to build community and connections to counteract isolation should be resourced and supported. b. There should be a culture of compassion and everyone should be respected and made to feel welcome. c. Washington County should celebrate its multiracial and multiethnic population.

8. RESEARCH JUSTICE: Communities of color are experts in their own lives, possessing experiential, historical, and cultural knowledge. Mainstream research and data do not capture the full lived experiences of communities of color. a. Communities of color should be partners in research design, data collection, data ownership, and data analysis as experts in their experiences. b. Governments and public agencies should recognize community experiences, expertise, and knowledge as evidence in policy making. c. Public agencies including schools and law enforcement should track data about communities of color that is hidden in mainstream data practices in a culturally appropriate manner in order to accurately assess racial disparities and differential treatment. d. Both public and private institutions should be transparent and accountable to communities of color by including them in evaluation of impact of policymaking on racial justice transformation in Washington County.

City of Cornelius Agenda Report

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Ellie Jones, Finance Director Through: Rob Drake, City Manager Date: November 29, 2018 Re: Resolution No. 2018-043-Supplemental Budget 1

Summary: This is to support a resolution for the first supplemental budget for the current Fiscal Year 2018-2019. It recognizes unplanned revenue/expenses and changes appropriations so that the budget is in line with anticipated expenses. A public hearing was posted on the City website beginning on November 16, 2018 and advertised in the News Times on November 28, 2018.

Previous Council Action: One or two supplemental budgets are standard occurrence for municipal corporations. There were two supplemental budgets approved for the previous Fiscal Year 2017-2018.

Background/Problem Discussion: The details of the budget changes are in the resolution. Below are descriptions of the budget changes:

1 General Fund- Increase City Council expense by $10,000 for Family Justice Center contribution 2 General Fund- Increase Community Development expense by $3,000 for Town Center Plan expenses 3 General Fund- Increase Revenue by $61,318 and Fire expense by $64,450 for the AFG Grant (city portion $3,069) 4 General Fund- Increase Revenue and Fire expense $31,748 for Conflagration related expense and reimbursement 5 General Fund- Increase Revenue and Library expense by $3,000 due to State Library funding 6 General Fund- Increase Revenue and Library expense by $1,700 due to Guadalajara grant funding 7 General Fund- Increase Revenue and Library expense by $96,563 due to increased WCCLS funding 8 General Fund- Increase Revenue and Parks expense by $38,160 due to Metro grant funding 9 Internal Services Fund- Increase Revenue by $14,850 for additional Grant funding 10 Internal Services Fund- Increase Facilities expense by $80,000 for LED Lighting (FY18 project carryover) 11 Internal Services Fund- Increase Facilities expense by $21,583 for unplanned building repairs 12 Internal Services Fund- Increase Facilities expense by $8,000 for installation of tie-off hooks on the Public Safety roof 13 Internal Services Fund- Increase Non-Departmental expense by $6,000 to allow for additional city-wide training 14 Sanitary Sewer Fund- Increase Revenue and expense by $2,520,868 for the Ginger Street project increase 15 Street Fund- Increase Revenue by $76,000 to account for Vehicle Registration revenue 16 Library Capital Project Fund- Increase Revenue and expense by $250,000 for new furniture, fixtures, and equipment 17 Multiple Funds- Increase revenues and expenses related to final 10th Avenue project costs 18 Multiple Funds- Increase expenses related to change in Union contracts and Staff COLAs

Alternatives/Financial Implications: The majority of these changes are to reflect actual circumstances not known at the time the budget was adopted last June. The staff is permitted only to spend within the appropriations created by the City Council. Without these adjustments some line items may be over- expended and revenue would not be correctly stated. Budget excesses are liabilities for city officials. Making changes at this time allows the Budget Committee to use more accurate numbers when looking at the proposed budget for next year. Advisory Committee Recommendation: A supplemental budget does not require review by the Budget Committee. It will be described to that committee during the budget process.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the enclosed resolution to create Supplemental Budget #1 for FY 2019. Not every action in the enclosed resolution is required to be included in a supplemental budget resolution, but doing so clearly identifies the proposed changes. It permits the Council to see the bigger picture.

Proposed Motion: I make a motion to approve Resolution No. 2018-043, A RESOLUTION OF THE CORNELIUS CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATIONS AMENDING THE FY 2017-2018 BUDGET (SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET NO. 1) and this action takes effect immediately.

Exhibit: Resolution No. 2018-043 and Exhibit A RESOLUTION NO. 2018-43

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATIONS AMENDING THE FY 2018-2019 BUDGET (SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET NO. 1)

Findings: A Supplemental Budget is the appropriate mechanism to recognize sources of revenue that were not known at the beginning of the year.

This Supplemental Budget makes adjustments to the current year budget by increasing the budget to allow for receipt of revenues that were not anticipated in the original budget. The Supplemental Budget also makes adjustments to several accounts where operating expenses might otherwise overrun the original estimates.

The Supplemental Budget public hearing was advertised on the city website beginning November 16, 2018, and advertised in the local newspaper on November 28, 2018 and will take place on December 3, 2018.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CORNELIUS CITY COUNCIL AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council adopts Supplemental Budget 1 dated December 3, 2018 on file at City Hall, 1355 N Barlow St, Cornelius, Oregon.

Section 2. Appropriations are amended as outlined in Exhibit A, and funds transferred as indicated.

Section 3. This resolution is effective immediately upon its enactment by the City Council.

INTRODUCED AND APPROVED by the Cornelius City Council at their regular meeting on December 3, 2018. City of Cornelius, Oregon

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Rob Drake, City Manager Date: November 28, 2018 Subject: Resolution No. 2018-46: Establishing Complete Count Committee For 2020 Census

Summary: The U.S. Census Bureau is initiating efforts to ensure a complete count for the 2020 U.S. Census. The U.S. Census is required under Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution with the key purpose to apportion the U.S. House of Representatives and allocate federal funds.

The 2020 paper Census will be available in 59 non-English languages and the internet Census option will be available in 12 non-English languages, including Spanish. Respondents will have a new ability to respond by internet, phone, or in the traditional paper form or in-person interview.

Oregon is part of the Los Angeles Regional Census Center which opened in April, 2018, in preparation for the 2020 Census. The U.S. Census Bureau expects to open Area Census Offices in Salem, Portland, and Eugene in January, July, and July of 2019, respectively. Each office will hire approximately 300 canvassers.

This 2020 Census is slated to include 10 or 11 questions. Question 11 was recently added and asks the respondent if they are a U.S. citizen. Question 11 has caused concern that it will cause lower respondent rates in certain areas and therefore not represent a complete count. This question is being litigated in federal court.

In an effort to assure as complete a count as possible, the U.S. Census Bureau has provided guidelines for local communities to establish a Complete Count Committee (CCC) to educate, encourage, engage and promote the 2020 Census to their constituents. Once formed, the U.S. Census Bureau will provide a staff liaison to guide the CCC’s efforts.

Samantha Herriot, Partnership Specialist, U.S. Census Bureau, has agreed to assist Cornelius and Forest Grove with the formation of a CCC. Contingents from Cornelius and Forest Grove recently met with Ms. Herriot to better understand the formation of the CCC and to ask questions. Cornelius Mayor Jef Dalin and Council President Dave Schamp participated in the meeting. No community in Oregon has formally established a CCC, however, several are in discussion and the State of Oregon has established one.

The resolution seeks to establish a Collaborative CCC with Cornelius and Forest Grove in accordance with U.S. Census Bureau guidelines. The key communication phases for the CCC begin in April, 2019, with the Awareness Phase, followed by the Motivation Phase in March-May, 2020, the Reminder Phase in May-July, 2020, and the Thank You Phase, July, 2020. Upon formation of the CCC, Samantha Herriot, Partnership Specialist, U.S. Census Bureau, has agreed to liaison and assist the CCC with structure, timeline, and outreach plan until the local Partnership Specialist is hired.

Previous Council Action: It has been ten years since the last U.S. Census count.

Financial Implications: At this point in time, there are no known financial costs related to the formation of a CCC for Cornelius and Forest Grove.

Staff Recommendation: Please listen to the brief presentation by the City Manager and approve the formation of a CCC between the City of Cornelius and the City of Forest Grove.
