The meeting was called to order at 7:31 at City Hall by Chair
Tom Sullivan. Dennis Hummel was introduced as the newest member.
The minutes were approved as corrected. The correction by Mark Padgett
reflected the serious reservations about the MSTIP proposal which
the Committee had.
Bruce Warner presented a brief overview of the MSTIP (Major Streets
and Transportation Improvement Program) , after which a lengthy and
frank discussion ensued on the Committee 's concerns about the timing
and funding of projects in the Tigard Area. Close questioning of
Bruce Warner by Tom Brian on the funding problem reinforced the
Committee's concern that the projects in Tigard are toward the end
of the 13 year program. Another concern is hcw the projects on the
list are changed in precedence. Tom Brian also wants a firm assurance
that the terms on the Administrative Details Letter of July 17 1985
are made part of a County Resolution. After a listing of the concerns
expressed all around, they became reservations in the resolution we
prepare for City Council. It was moved, seconded and passed (5 for,
2 abstain) that the committee recommend approval with the following
reservations:
1
1 . That the Southwest Bypass Study be given top priority.
2. That Tigard Dollars are spent in Tigard.
3. That the Tigard Comprehensive Plan be honored.
4. That local control of funds is allowed
5. That Tigard projects are done sooner than later,
6. That Tigard is assured by County that the Administrative
Details are honored as presented in Frank Angelo's memo
Of July 17, 1985.
The information on "Fee per Trip" did not reach the members
in time for a thorough review and thus will be discussed next
meeting.
The time line of Tigard projects was briefly discussed. The
revisions will be brought up again next meeting.
Next, the Greenburg Rd. ® 99W underpass and ramp onto Commercial was
discussed. Staff will return with more information on land ownership
and the validity of the $2509000 price tag.
The Committee discussed how we need to change the Comprehensive
(2)
Plan and the time line for doing so. Bill Monahan stated that it
takes about 4 months to be a reasonable lead time. The Committee
discussed briefly what our process will be to change the plan.
There will be more discussion later.
The signalization of 99w was the next discussion topic, and the
Committee will ask Bob Jean to explain the need and process to change
this.
Bill Monahan then presented the current situation at Scholls Ferry Road.
He presented new information about the boundary and the proposed
connecting roads within Tigard, between Walnut and Scholls Ferry.
More direction from City Council was seen in the funding for the
Murray Road Extension. Concern was expressed by the Committee over
the possibility of 135th not being allowed to go to Tigard's
control by the County, This in connection with the proposed Murray
Road extension,
The Committee then discussed a fixed monthly meeting date and time.
The first Thursday of each month at 7pm was decided pending the
approval of the absent member.
Chair Tom Sullivan adjourned the meeting at 9:35.
Respectfully- Submitted,
Bob Ke e , ecretary.
