Council Connection | October 20
City Council met Tuesday, October 20, for an evening dedicated to work sessions. No regular City Council meeting was held. Here are some highlights:
• Family Peace Center: Representatives shared how the Center has expanded its services and reach since transitioning from the Family Justice Center. Now with 22 partner organizations, the Center connects survivors with medical care, transportation, childcare, food and safety assistance. More Sherwood residents are accessing these resources, with 22 residents and 37 services provided so far in 2026, compared to 11 residents and 19 services in all of 2025.
• Roundtable with the Sherwood Library Advisory Board: The Board discussed its work related to Council goals, including community engagement, infrastructure and fiscal responsibility. Ideas included gathering community input through a survey and exploring collaboration with other boards and commissions.
• Target Industries Program: Council discussed a proposed program to attract businesses that bring quality jobs and economic opportunities to Sherwood. Building on the City’s existing “red carpet” approach, the program would offer support such as guaranteed permitting timelines, regular problem-solving meetings and a dedicated staff contact. Council expressed support for moving the program forward and considering its adoption by resolution.

📅 The next City Council meeting is Tuesday, November 3.

Our hearts are broken tonight as we learn more about today's shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend. We grieve alongside the Bend community as they navigate this tragedy.
Tomorrow morning, Sherwood PD officers will be at our schools to welcome students as they arrive. We'll be there to offer a friendly, reassuring start to the school day.
We stand with the Bend Police Department and with the students, families, and staff of Silver Rail Elementary as they mourn this profound loss.
