Detailed plans for Washington County’s new public safety building were revealed Thursday as the city’s planning commission got its first look at the project.
John Campbell of AE Works and Sean Donnelly of Gateway Engineers unveiled architectural renderings and schematic plans during Washington’s planning commission meeting for an initial pre-development update as the project gets closer to beginning.
“There is a lot of public interaction (with those county services) and they want the building to express that,” Campbell said of the new county public safety building that will replace the Courthouse Square offices.
The three-story building’s facade will mimic the exterior of the neighboring Crossroads Center county office building across West Beau Street. The public safety building will house the 911 dispatch center, sheriff’s office, booking center and have other various office space for county government, along with some areas for civic institutions to gather for meetings.
The building is designed with large windows and will have easy pathways to the neighboring Family Court Center, although there is no enclosed connector planned over to the Crossroads building.
“We’re trying to make it much more transparent and open to the public,” Campbell said of the public safety building’s design.
Members of the city’s planning commission seemed intrigued by the designs that were presented, although the presenters admitted it’s still in the beginning stages and they’ll have to return with a formal land development application – basically a site plan – that will need final approval from the city.
“You talk about a smaller footprint,” planning commission member Jason Kilgore said. “How much room is there for growth and expansion with this building?”
Campbell said one area of the building that was labeled “shell” will remain undeveloped to allow for government operations enough room to expand as the county’s population grows.
“I think that’s what the intention is for the ‘shell’ space,” Campbell said.
Some information was still not available during Thursday’s meeting, including the estimated cost of the building and the construction timeline.
“On paper, it looks good,” planning commission member Angelo Musto said. “We’ll just have to see when it’s built.”
As the designs were being discussed at the city building, the Washington County commissioners were meeting at the Crossroads Center building a few blocks away and approving plans to demolish the Courthouse Square office building to make way for the public safety building. The commissioners unanimously approved a $1.555 million bid from Adamo Demolition Co. of Detroit to bring down the building and parking garage that sits behind the Washington County Courthouse.
The current 911 operations center partially connected to Courthouse Square that faces South Franklin Street will remain standing while the tower and parking garage are demolished so dispatch teams can continue operations. That department will be moved over to the public safety building after it’s constructed.
Campbell said the Courthouse Square building is no longer suitable because the bottom level of the three-story parking garage is heaving upward because the slab was built on poor soil.
“Things are kind of deteriorating over there,” Campbell said.
The new building will have a small parking garage for some employees and the courthouse’s seven judges, but there will not be enough parking for all of the county’s workers. Campbell noted that the Crossroads Parking Garage operated by the Washington Parking Authority has ample space for county workers to park their cars, which they have already been doing for months with the closure of the Courthouse Square parking garage.
“We’re still going through the design and need to answer some questions, including with parking,” Donnelly said.
The county offered $4 million to purchase that garage from the parking authority last year, but that price was considered too low. The garage is owned by the city, Washington School District and county – the city and school district would receive the lion’s share of the sale revenue – and members of each government entity sit on the parking authority.
The parking authority rebuffed the $4 million offer and instead voted to perform its own appraisal hoping for a higher figure. However, the county walked away from the sale at that point and negotiations have been at a standstill since. It’s not known whether the county might re-engage the parking authority to purchase the garage at a higher price or continue to lease the available parking spots on behalf of county workers.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. (KPTV) – The Washington County Sheriff’s Office released video of deputies using a drone to track down a man wanted for damaging a car.
On Saturday, May 30, a 911 caller reported a man damaging a car outside their home on Southwest 179th Avenue in Aloha. The sheriff’s office said it was reported the suspect, 21-year-old Santos Paulino Castro-Ramirez, was punching the car.
Deputies used a drone to follow the suspect as he ran toward Southwest Barcelona Lane. The sheriff’s office said Castro-Ramirez then entered a white SUV that did not belong to him on SW Barcelona.
Deputies arrested Castro-Ramirez. He was booked into the Washington County Jail for first-degree burglary and attempt to commit a crime – second-degree theft.

Beirut, Lebanon – On Tuesday, representatives from Lebanon and Israel met at the US Department of State in Washington, DC – the first session of a two-day round of negotiations that Lebanese negotiators hope will end an invasion of their country.
The negotiations, which started at 9am local time (13:00 GMT), come as Israel’s invasion of Lebanon pushes deeper than at any point since the year 2000 and as Hezbollah and Israel continue to trade attacks. Israel has killed 3,468 people in Lebanon since March 2, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health.
With the war raging on, what do Lebanon and Israel have to discuss and will the talks lead to an end of the Israeli assault?
Here’s everything you need to know.
What will Israel and Lebanon discuss?
Similar to past meetings, the two sides are ostensibly looking to come to some kind of deal following fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, with strong doubts it will be achieved.
Lebanon’s government is still pushing for a total ceasefire. However, as talks started, Israel was striking various parts of southern Lebanon. Lebanon is also trying to get Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territory in the south, so that more than 1.2 million displaced people can return home, and so the state can resume finding a way to disarm Hezbollah and rebuild areas devastated by Israeli attacks.
Israel is meanwhile looking to get assurances that Lebanon will disarm Hezbollah, a prospect analysts say Israel knows is complicated by the continuation of its military operations and occupation of swaths of southern Lebanon. Instead, Israel appears to be trying to fuel sectarian tensions inside Lebanon, leading to chaos and internal strife.
What has happened so far?
An initial meeting took place in April between Israel and Lebanon’s ambassadors to the United States. A second round took place in May with a larger delegation on both sides.
On Friday, a meeting took place with Lebanese and Israeli military representatives, while Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Lebanese group, is not involved in the meetings.
Israel claimed the two sides found common ground in that they both wanted to see Hezbollah disarmed. Some Israeli officials suggested there may soon be trade agreements and an exchange of tourists between the two countries. Lebanon, however, said it preferred to find a deal closer to the 1949 armistice agreement between the two countries.
In the last meeting, Beirut reportedly outlined the damage done by Israeli attacks since the 2024 ceasefire agreement and presented detailed maps showing homes destroyed or razed by Israel.
Is there a chance for a ceasefire?
That remains to be seen, but for now, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country’s military would continue attacking Lebanon.
On Monday, Netanyahu announced that attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs would resume, despite a ceasefire. Apart from two targeted attacks, Israel has not struck the suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, since April.
Iran, which has attempted to include Lebanon in a wider ceasefire between themselves, on one side, and Israel and the US on the other, then intervened by threatening to attack northern Israel.
US President Donald Trump reportedly intervened to stop Israel’s attacks. He announced another ceasefire, after his previous announcement of one between Israel and Lebanon on April 16, after claiming he had gotten the approval of Netanyahu and spoken to Hezbollah.
“There will be no troops going to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way have already been turned back,” Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social.
But attacks from Israel and Hezbollah are continuing.
How do Lebanese people feel about the talks?
Not everyone is on the same page.
Some Lebanese support the talks and say they are the only option the state, which has little leverage, has. Among those who believe direct talks are the best way forward are Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
“There is no option other than negotiation,” Aoun said in a statement on Tuesday.
Others, however, oppose direct talks. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and his allies, Hezbollah, have said indirect talks are preferred and that negotiations cannot be conducted while attacks are ongoing.
How are Iran and the US connected?
Israel and the US attacked Iran on February 28, killing the country’s longtime leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran is Hezbollah’s primary benefactor, and two days after Khamenei’s assassination, Hezbollah fired six rockets towards Israel on 2 March.
Hezbollah’s response brought a huge response from Israel, who have crossed the Litani River – the supposed buzzer zone in southern Lebanon it had created – towards the Zahrani River.
Despite a 2024 ceasefire, Israel had never stopped attacking Lebanon, while Hezbollah had only responded once in December 2024.
Iran has attempted to include Lebanon in the ceasefire deal it has with the United States and Israel, who say this theatre is not part of the agreement.
Although Trump has now announced a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel twice, the invasion of southern Lebanon continues.
Are there other actors involved?
Gulf states have also intervened. Saudi Arabia has been working behind the scenes to get Lebanon’s leadership – Aoun, Salam and Berri – on the same page. Meanwhile, analysts say Saudi Arabia and Qatar engaged the Trump administration to stop an escalation in Lebanon.
