May 2013: Be HEARD, not part of the HERD
Welcome,
If you are reading this for the first time or you are new to Hillsboro or Washington County, and you would like to know more about your county’s Citizen Participation Organization (CPO), please take a moment to read about what’s going on. Through CPO #9, you can learn more about your community and find out how YOU CAN BE HEARD by your local government!
In order to help you be heard, we put out our first CPO #9 Subscriber Survey, which has over 160 respondents. We’d like you to subscribe to our list if you haven’t already, but the survey is open to all who live or work in our area. Thank you to the respondents, and we invite everyone to participate. CPO #9’s goal is to “Communicate, Educate and Motivate” and your feedback helps us develop our group and hold meetings with “Hot Local Topics” that affect your community!
Through the survey, we have heard the following information or preferences:
- 1 in 4 survey respondents have attended a CPO 9 or other CPO meeting.
- For the local governments or agencies you want to learn more about, the City of Hillsboro and Washington County received the most responses, followed by Hillsboro School District, Metro, TriMet and Port of Portland.
- Your rankings from a set list of issues and concerns were clustered closely, with the highest rating for Land Use/Development, followed by Transportation Improvements, Public Safety, a tie between Economy/Job Growth and Environmental Issues, and Citizen Participation in Local Government.
- Forty-eight respondents listed their top issues or concerns. Education, public education, schools, or youth-related issues were given by 12 respondents, and Hillsboro Airport-related issues were listed by 7 respondents. Bicycling, housing-related topics, Downtown Hillsboro, and social services were listed by more than one respondent. Community building, neighborhood restoration, historic preservation, transparent government, equitable taxation, and fewer
- regulations all received a mention.
- Your top preference for the CPO #9 Bi-Monthly Meeting was Monday evening, followed by Thursday and Tuesday evenings.
We will continue to keep this CPO #9 Subscriber Survey active through the end of May, and we’ll track these results as we get additional responses. We will make sure that we give others a chance to respond and to get as much citizen input as possible. We are using the responses to plan CPO #9’s activities, building the foundation for a successful group for years to come.
Sincerely,
Tom Black, CPO #9 Chairman

For those of you who haven’t already taken our CPO #9 Subscriber Survey, we invite you to take it to get YOUR feedback on how you would like us to “Communicate, Educate and Motivate” YOU, regarding the “Hot Local Topics” that affect your community, your family and YOU!

Call for Nominations for the Harold Haynes
Citizen Involvement Award
Each spring the Citizen Participation Organization(CPO) Program working through the Washington County Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) honors a neighbor or group of neighbors who made a significant contribution to his or her CPO and/or the community. Nominations are sought from CCI members on a simple form and a vote by ballot is conducted at the May CCI meeting. The recipient is honored during the June CCI meeting and a perpetual plaque listing those honored is posted in the Washington County Public Services Building.
The Harold M. Haynes Award was initiated in 1998 following the untimely death of Dr. Haynes, a former resident of Forest Grove. Dr. Haynes was a citizen statesman and constant advocate for state land use Goal 1, requiring Citizen Involvement in all phases of planning. Dr. Haynes was instrumental in creating the Committee for Citizen Involvement in Forest Grove. He served on the Washington County CCI and the Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee for the state Land Conservation and Development Commission.
Last years’ recipient was Cherry Amabisca honored for her work to communicate with and empower community residents working toward shared goals. Cherry’s community involvement spans her role as a West Union Elementary School parent and local 4H sponsor to engagement in planning for Metro’s Urban and Rural Reserves. She was a founding member and Chair of Save Helvetia (www.savehelvetia.org), formed to advocate for the preservation of foundation farmland north of Highway 26 and in the Greater Helvetia area in particular. The success of these efforts so far is largely due to Cherry: her respectful outreach to neighbors, staff and officials; her skill in organizing people and testimony to address decision criteria and avoid repetition; and her clear commitment to applicable law, community values and accurate data as bases for decisions. Save Helvetia’s efforts have resulted in the preservation of over 7,000 acres in Rural Reserves designations.
Other past recipients include a variety of citizen activists and leaders honored for their work and service to the community fostering positive leadership and helping to bring clarity to complex issues. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to honor a individual or a group in your community who made a difference in your community.

CPO Talk
Calendar • Contact Us
CPOTalk, an email and news discussion group, gives CPO members an opportunity to share information, seek advice on issues from members of other CPOs, hear about upcoming events and generally keep in touch with each other.
To sign up for the discussion group, please go to the following website to submit your request:
http://lists.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/cpotalk
To keep email messages to a minimum, you can elect to receive messages in digest form (one email a day with all messages received within a 24-hour period).
CPOTalk is open to Washington County residents and persons owning businesses or properties within CPO boundaries and who also participate in their local CPO. The intent of the forum is to encourage and support citizen discussion of land-use issues relating to growth and development, transportation, affordable housing, natural resources, watersheds, and other matters that impact the livability of Washington County communities.
CPOTalk standards will mirror those for CPO meetings with an expectation of respectful dialogue, balancing the views presented on topics of interest, not promoting the aims/goals of other advocacy organizations, no campaigning for elective office and/or initiatives and no fundraising.
CPOTalk encourages postings that include, but are not limited to:
- Sharing information and ideas on involving/recruiting Washington County citizens in the public processes that affect their community’s livability
- Informing members within CPOs of emerging concerns or time-sensitive issues
- Requesting specific information on topics of interest
- Announcing events (workshops, training sessions, meetings, fairs, etc)
- Posting articles or notices of general interest on land-use issues, ordinances, legislation, etc.
CPO coordinators also use CPOTalk to distribute information that is of general interest or which may be time-sensitive.
CPOTalk is a restricted discussion list which means that membership requires approval by the list administrator, Margot Barnett, Oregon State University Extension Service CPO program coordinator. The approval process will protect persons from receiving unrelated and unwanted emails. Emails to the discussion group will not be moderated (that is, reviewed before being distributed to the members). Members can set email preferences to receive either individual messages or a digest of all emails received during a day; the latter helps to control the number of emails received. If warranted, topics will also be archived.
For other information about CPOTalk, contact Margot Barnett at 503-821-1114.
