1. Meeting called to order at 7:08 p.m.
2. Present: Porter, Froude, Bishop, Garner. Excused: Mortensen, Hansen, Smith.
Visitors: Lavelle Helm, Dana LeMoyne.
3. Approved Minutes of October 2, 1991 meeting.
4. Joint meeting with NPO 7 to hear City Administrator Pat Reilly offer information
regarding property tax increases and..listen to frustrations and concerns of those
present. The City of Tigard is on a tax base system, not a rate system, so has
received no more money due to the increased valuations. The current appraisals
are for eighteen months due to enactment of Measure 5.
5. Bev Froude updated us on the Western Bypass progress. She had attended the
Steering Committee meeting (policy group). The citizens and technical committees
had passed the four alternatives, but the steering committee had asked for more
time to study the alternatives other than Gaarde, McDonald route. City of Tigard
wants more input before the final step is taken. ODOT will meet in December.
City of Beaverton does not like the Murray extension. If Tigard also objects,
Washington County will probably follow.
6. Bev Froude suggested that NPO 3 area will be greatly impacted by the arterial
expansion choice. Local traffic (us) makes twelve trips per day from our homes,
pass through traffic uses 99W, Highway 217 and 1-5. We need:to educate and be
aware of our habits to use linkage (several stops per trip).
7. Herman Porter suggested that NPO 3 submit a position paper regarding our strong
views opposing the arterial expansion alternative. He will work on the paper
before next meeting.
8. A motion was made that NPO 3 position be outlined as wishing to remain with the
UPAA agreement. NPO 3 must remain as neighborhood roads; any new roads
should be extended as minor collectors. Passed unanimously.
9. A motion was made to commend City Administrator Pat Reilly for taking a strong
stand with the Steering Committee of the Western Bypass Study to protect the
interest of the citizens of the City of Tigard. Passed unanimously.
10. New business: NPO 7 erroneously received an annexation request from
Rosemary and Harold Shrauger. The parcel is in NPO 3. We request that it be
on our December agenda with an explanation of the reason for the request.
•
11. A motion was made to request the City always include an explanation of requests
for annexations in the future. Passed unanimously.
12, Discussion of Resolution 82-13. A motion was made to invite Liz Newton to the
next meeting to explain the process of getting new members for NPO's and why
it takes so long for approval of citizens wishing to join an NPO. Passed
unanimously. We also request that NPO 3 be given a copy of each application
submitted for our area.
13. NPO 3 received a letter from Jon Fessler regarding our vote on the historic Hans
Gaarde home. A motion was made to invite him to the next meeting to review the
process of historic designation and discuss concerns regarding the letter. Passed
unanimously.
14. Notices of decisions received: Minor partition of Parsons property approved with
conditions.
15. Meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Lila Garner
