The meeting was called to order by Chairman Sullivan at 7:40 P.M. at City Hall
meeting room.

Frank Currie reported on the urban area City-County road status and budget
distribution. He also distributed prints with Tigard and vicinity street plan
to the members of the committee. The plan showed portions of roads and
streets (marked in yellow) which were eligible for City maintenance. Beef
Bend Road, Bull Mountain Road, Walnut Street and Groenburg Road were marked in
blue, and are long distance travel access streets that lead Washington County
traffic into Tigard, and are not to the City' s benefit, and should be
maintained by Washington County, and remain under their jurisdiction. He
urged Committee members to du on-site investigation in order to become
familiar with travel distances, road conditions, aooeuo communities, area
zoning and other data by observation. It was determined to gather for such a
field inspection preceding May 2, 1.985 meeting at 6:30 P.M. , at Tigard City
Hall.
After site investigation, Committee will be able to expand the criteria for
this suggested City-County responsibility division. Taking over additional
portions of roads and streets has an unavoidable disadvantage, since same
budget has to be distributed, thus lowering xtamJanJo.
Discussion on this matter followed, with frank, Joe and Tom participating,
Li6ija Balo6in has visited Engineering Department' and reported that
Engineering files are accessible to the public during office hours.
Frank Currie reported on the outcome regarding City of Tigard street
improvements and projects submitted for 0D0T 6-Year Plan Priorities.

of the submitted projects.

the time staff will recognize a problom and then present it to the Committee

have to get as mucin knowledge and understanding as possible for the S.W.
Corridor Study, since this involves all of the Tigard area.
Council Work Program Plan and Priorities have to be studied to Familiarize
with existing situation, and arrive at best objective judgement.
