Vice President - Julie Heironimus
I've called Tualatin home for over 25 years where my husband and I raised our two daughters, both Tualatin High School graduates. My involvement with the Byrom CIO grew from a desire to have a voice in local decisions and help preserve our neighborhood's character. I hope to keep informed, encourage community input, and bring people together through local activities. When I'm not attending City Council meetings, you might spot me walking around the neighborhood with my golden retriever Missy!
Land Use Officer - Danny O'Neal
My wife and I have called Tualatin home since 1995. I'm also a parent of a Tualatin High School graduate. I retired from the United States Navy as a Master Chief Petty Officer, having served over 24 years all over the world. After retiring I worked for two companies in Newberg OR and chose to live here in Tualatin. I've never regretted that decision. Those years have been full of growth and the accompanying challenges that growth brings to a dynamic city.
I've always felt the need to serve and my 24 years in the Navy helped me realize the need was even more evident in our community.
I attend City Council meetings and functions when the subject or agenda was of importance or peaked my interest. I also participate in numerous developers forums where new housing projects were being proposed and discussed with the community. While I saw the need for housing, the projects being placed in front of us were not always ones that would add value or answer the long standing concerns of how to accomplish them and not impact our traffic, schools or property values. With my CIO responsibilities as Land Use Officer I attend Planning Commission Meetings to further my knowledge and provide timely feedback to the neighborhood.
I like to focus on the community needs and especially the concerns for families in today's economy and challenges.
Treasurer - Marissa Katz
Marissa has called Tualatin home for over 10 years and has worked in the community for more than five years.

Upcoming events of importance to Byrom residents.
Tualatin Housing Forum
Wednesday October 14,2026
6:00-7:30 pm
Tualatin City Services
10699 SW Herman Road
In 2025, 27.8% of Tualatin residents were severely rent burdened (spending more than 50% of their income on rent). This conversation will help us understand the challenges our community members face with housing.
Local service providers will be present to share information on resources available to the community.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/TualatinForum
6:00-6:30 Resource Fair
6:30-7:30 Panel Discussion
Questions? Contact planning@tualatin.gov or (503) 691-3026
Updated October 16, 2026 - This input is from someone that attended the meeting. "When a city exceeds a certain percentage of residents who are “rent burdened”, i.e., spend 30-50+% of income on housing, the city has to hold a public meeting to report its efforts toward making housing affordable."
The city planning commission will be discussing this topic in the next few months, so maybe we will get a better idea of land use measures specifically that can help alleviate the problem.
The discussion focused mainly on rent control, transportation for the disadvantaged, and subsidy programs. So zoning, development regulations and financial incentives were just mentioned in passing.

to meet and discuss this proposal and identify any perceived issues and make modification to the proposal where reasonable. The developer is excited to provide, a convenient retail opportunity, within walking distance of the surrounding neighborhood.
Please note this is an informational meeting on preliminary plans. These plans may change slightly before
the application is submitted to the city.
Expanding Community
The Byrom CIO has been working with the city and CIO Leadership to expand CIO boundaries to new developments and neighbors. Byrom CIO leadership voted to expand our boundaries to include Plambeck Gardens Apartments, the Autumn Sunrise Development and the Norwood Road Townhomes Development. We welcome those new residents to Tualatin and the Byrom neighborhood.
Thank you!
Thanks to our wonderful neighbors on Stono Drive! So many in our community have been appreciative of the work that was done to smooth the path on the North side of Norwood Road. Your community appreciates you!!!
Annual Meetings
Byrom CIO hosts its annual meeting in the spring, featuring summaries of past year's efforts, emergency preparedness discussions, updates on city projects, and voting on biannually elected board positions. We are dedicated to fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among residents, businesses, and local government to create a vibrant and inclusive community for all.
For the first 10 years of the CIO program, Byrom CIO had very few changes. Today, significant projects may impact livability. Please contact us to see how you can get involved. To learn more email Tim Neary at byromcio@gmail.com.

From: Byrom CIO Board Members
Subject: Informational meeting held on Wednesday, October 14th7:00 pm at
23050 SW Boones Ferry Road (The Bridge Church NW), located at the
intersection of SW Boones Ferry Road and SW Norwood Road.
Byrom CIO Board members in attendance:
JulieHeironimus - Vice President and Danny O’Neal - Land Use Officer.
The proposed project would include construction of a new 8,300-square-foot
church building adjacent to the existing church building. The new two-story
building would include a 250-seat sanctuary and entry lobby on the ground
floor, along with second-floor classrooms for use during church services.
A covered courtyard is proposed between the new and existing buildings. The
enclosed site plan shows the location of the new building. In addition, a new
10-foot-wide multi-use path is proposed along SW Norwood Road.
Concerns and comments:
1.Our understanding is the 10-foot-wide multi-use path would be in direct
vicinity of the large old growth trees on the south side of Norwood Road. It
would be constructed using materials (concrete) that prevent water
absorption.
2.We also questioned where the utilities are to be located. Placing them
under the multi-use path will only add more damage to the tree roots.
3.Previous development at Autumn Sunrise resulted in a large number of
Old Growth trees being removed.
4.Tualatin is known as Tree City USA, and this is not favorable to our Tree
City designation.
5.Current Town Home Development next to the Bridge Church NW
Proposed addition has a sidewalk that will allow the Old Growth Trees to
stay and thrive.
6.The proposed location of the multi-use path places the existing Old
Growth trees in a very precarious position. The root structure will be
heavily impacted and prevented from maintaining sufficient water and
support for the continued growth for extended life.
7.The Byrom Community is firmly opposed to any construction that puts our
beautiful trees in danger of being removed or damaged for long-term
growth. We actively opposed previous removal or damage of Old Growth
trees and will do the same for this project.
8. Trees provide both pleasing scenery for the community and have an
environmentally friendly impact.
9.The proposed location and preliminary design of the Bridge Church NW
addition looks to be pleasing and in keeping with the current structure and
community appearance.
10.We mentioned that the project next to yours had similar issues. It may be
worthwhile to coordinate with Ken Allen and the Town Home Project next
to your project. You both seem to want to limit impact to trees and the
path size, it may be worthwhile for your proposals to align, or reference
the similarities in concern for impact on the existing trees.
We look forward to seeing a more detailed and formal design as you submit
your project to the Tualatin City Engineering Staff.

Approved Projects Impacting Byrom - 400 Lot Subdivision of Single Family and Multiple Family Lots with Commercial Sites
Traffic on SW Boones Ferry
Volume of current traffic on SW Boones Ferry far exceeds the capacity. Byrom neighbors are extremely concerned that livability will be destroyed by additional projects feeding traffic on SW Boones Ferry and the potential bridge crossing Tapman Creek/Basalt Creek from SW 124th to SW Greenhill Lane.
Norwood Road Speed Limit to Decrease to 35MPH
Traffic Around Tualatin HS Dangerous

Byrom CIO Accomplishments
Crosswalk with Flashing Lights at Tualatin H.S.
Residents from Byrom, Midwest, and Martinazzi Woods CIOs worked together for many years with the City of Tualatin to move this project forward. This recently completed crosswalk at Tualatin H.S. has improved pedestrian safety on a very busy road. Tualatin 2018 transportation safety bond funded the crosswalk. Byrom residents strongly supported the bond measure.
Pedestrian Safety Top Priority
Byrom residents have for many years expressed concerns about pedestrian traffic on SW Boones Ferry, especially children walking to school. Boones Ferry Corridor Sidewalk & Bike Lane project will complete missing segments of bike lanes and sidewalks, & repair sidewalks, pathways, and bike lanes that do not meet current standards along Boones Ferry Road from Warm Springs Street to Norwood Road. The photograph show the newly completed sidewalk on S It is funded by the 2018 Tualatin bond transportation safety measure endorsed by Midwest CIO volunteers.
National Night Out
The Byrom CIO residents have held multiple National Night Out events. It is celebrated on the first Tuesday in August and promotes first responder-community partnerships. Tualatin Police Officers and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews make rounds to greet folks at each of the events.
Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Byrom CIO supports the Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT). These volunteers have the training and focus to help neighbors in emergencies, such as power outage, floods and earthquake. Each volunteer can set up a command center, offer search and rescue, provide basic first aid and communicate with City and County emergency response centers through HAM radios. Out of 108 active CERTs, Midwest has 11 members, 7 of which have their HAM radio license.
Tualatin Neighborhood Ready
Byrom residents have hosted multiple neighborhood ready/map your neighborhood preparedness meetings.
