City Council Discusses Program to Discourage Graffiti

January 23, 2026 — In lieu of a public meeting on the Wilsonville City Council met in an extended executive session on January 22, 2026. 

At a work session held afterward, Legal staff presented examples of abatement programs that could be established to incentivize residents to report information that leads to the apprehension of graffiti vandals. The Council directed staff to design a program for their consideration that would provide a cash reward for residents who provide information leading to arrest.

Additionally, the City’s Building Official summarized recent work to analyze rental housing inspection programs that exist in some jurisdictions to support the resolution of livability issues between landlords and tenants. After a discussion that included impacts that would need to be considered if the Council directed staff to formalize a similar program in Wilsonville, the Council directed staff to first establish an online resource guide that would help renters better understand their rights and become better equipped to address any concerns.

The next regular meeting of the Wilsonville City Council is scheduled to take place on Monday, Feb. 2, at 7 pm. A work session is scheduled to take place at 5 pm. Both the meeting and the work session are open to the public.

Community members can watch all City Council meetings on cable (Xfinity Ch. 30, Ziply Ch. 32) or online via the City’s YouTube channel: wilsonvilleoregon.gov/WilsonvilleTV.
