Call to Order—Chair Steve Bass called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. 2. Roll Call—Shelley LaBarre called roll. The meeting did not have a quorum. 3. Consider summary of May 2nd meeting.

Staff reviewed general elements of the proposed budget,which will go to council for adoption next week,June 12, 2012. The Budget Committee approved the proposed budget with some additions. In the original proposal, six police officer positions were eliminated;youth programs were those most affected. After strong public response, two positions were restored. The positions will be funded by a change in franchise fee rates for PGE (increasing by 1.5%). Staff also reviewed reductions in service hours,including building closures. The Permits Center will be closed on Fridays for Community Development-Planning as well as Engineering and Construction (with the exception of inspectors), and the Library will be closed all day on Thursdays. Staff encouraged TTAC members to attend the meeting next week if they had additional comments they wished to add to the record.

Staff presented three options for Pacific Highway/McDonald-Gaarde intersection design improvements. The two options presented (see exhibits: Maps of Option B2 and Option C2) give the most improvement value for the dollar. Several adjustments are under discussion. The city is trying to strike the right balance between short and long term investments and associated values presented by each of the options. It is possible that combining both options makes the most sense for getting the most out of each investment dollar (Option A2 = Option B2 + Option C2). Existing conditions (survey, environmental, hazardous materials, etc) evaluation is wrapping up. At next month's TTAC, staff will present the consultant's study results and the project team's recommendations. Funding strategies were also discussed. A combination of Tigard funds, federal and state dollars as well as grant opportunities would be desirable,but some of those traditional funding avenues will present particular challenges given the current economy. Staff questions include whether Tigard transportation funds are available if A2 (the combined option) is selected/recommended? Possible funding strategies include: shuffling projects, delaying or stretching the schedule of projects and drawing on available funds from existing and new revenue sources. MISTP funds (Washington County) have been requested for Tigard projects,which might free up dollars. Next month staff recommendation will inform discussion for TTAC, so they can formulate their recommendations to council. Update: McDonald storm drainage project will be completed. Paving projects will go forward with July being a particularly busy construction period (watch website for updates). 7. HCT Land Use Plan Update—council presentation. On May 15`h,2012, the project consultant presented the High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land Use Plan to City Council and Planning Commission,which was well received. The neighborhood concepts, informed through community input, resulted in a valuable framework for subsequent planning efforts. TTAC commended Tigard staff and their proactive efforts,which contributed to the HCT Land Use Plan. Additional planning work will build on the HCT Land Use Plan. Staff will be considering potential TTAC involvement in those future planning efforts. Southwest Corridor Plan—The project team is assembling the "wide range of projects"in matrix/spreadsheet,including state, county, and city projects. These will be presented for public review, comment, and additions. The forum is not yet known. Concepts from the HCT Land Use Plan will be incorporated into the Wide Range of Projects in the SW Corridor Plan. 8. Potential Transit Service Improvements. At the May meeting,TTAC identified potential transit service improvements,including operational changes (e.g. bus routes) and capital investments (e.g.WES stops, Park and Ride locations). Staff consolidated the results of the collaboration into a single map,which they presented to TTAC for review and additional comments. The committee added the need for better access from the Washington Square WES station to the surrounding area. These will not be a"formal recommendation"but rather will be presented as "comments" to be included in the SW Corridor Plan. A future effort addressing transit operating improvements will be led by TriMet and could start in 2013.

MSTIP 3d Update—Staff reviewed major project and construction updates. Of note are ongoing discussions/decisions regarding Washington County MSTIP 3d project selection. Roy Rogers, Mayor Dirksen and staff worked hard to make the strongest possible case to place Tigard's Walnut Street projects on the MSTIP project"short list"which will be the first construction year. MSTIP technical rankings have been completed. Next step will be to refine criteria for project selection. The remaining MSTIP 3d list will encompass a four year period. 11.
