The Great Seal of the United States of America, 1782 "A house divided against itself can not stand." –Abraham Lincoln To the Mayor, City Council,and City Manager: Language is important to me. After all, I'm the person who tested Google Translate (with diverse volunteers)for more than a month and then presented my findings in the recommendation to the city council and city manager that resulted in Google Translate being installed on the city website and computers, phones. This saved the city funds for translation, and it immediately helped improve accessibility, by including almost everyone in Tigard (who can read). I'm writing to address a pattern of deliberate actions on the part of several city employees who are institutionalizing discrimination directed against people who are 1)white, 2) male, and 3)straight,employees who are are creating a hostile work environment for others,who are creating obstacles to appointment to boards and committees based on illegal discrimination and preferences, and who are promoting hiring based on such practices,too. Additionally,the city has given prohibited government funds for the establishment of a religion and to outside persons who were ineligible to receive any such government grants. The asst.city manager and DEI person(who together receive approx. $250,000 annually in wages plus benefits from our property taxes) have allegedly asserted the following: "the City recognizes that words matter. Words and expressions can signal assumptions about people and can unintentionally reinforce dominant ideas.The City of Tigard has taken steps to incorporate inclusive language into business practices. Inclusive language means finding a way to name, honor, and value experiences and identities." Examples of how we are advancing inclusive language: • White Papers are now called"Issues Papers • The former"Brown Bags"are now "Lunch and Learns • Our"Master Plan&rdquo plans are now "System Plans"Community members"or"residents"will replace the use of "citizen" Being especially mindful of language is just one step we are taking to advance our goal. In essence,we've got two overpaid radical administrators who have taken it upon themselves to censor the English language,and to appoint themselves the CCP Gestapo Marxist racist sexist propagandists and enforcer-minders of others'freedom of speech. FREEDOM of SPEECH is enshrined in our US Constitution. So, is this the best our city can do — hire two race/gender-based socialists to pathetically find a needle in a haystack(or plant the needle themselves) in their obsessive search to allegedly"eliminate institutional racism" (but never defined with specific examples)? Censoring expressions and words like"brown bag," "white papers,"and "citizens"is OCD idiocy. Can't you see that?! It's so obvious to others in our community. 1 A small city like Tigard doesn't need two overpaid assistant city managers. The second position was recently created, because the asst. city manager is incompetent in financial matters. Accordingly,that position should be terminated. Similarly, up until the media-engendered mass hysteria following the Floyd killing in Minnesota (2020), Tigard didn't see any need for a DEI position (or funding). In fact,that position and any funding is wasteful and unjustified, and the actions taken in that regard are evidently purposely discriminatory, as will be demonstrated. The duo (Nyland and Hendrix) have referenced the Public Safety Advisory Board and Racial Equity Tools. Let's start there! In 2020, based on input from many(including myself)the city sought to recreate a police advisory board (I used to serve in such a capacity). I was interested to volunteer again. However, a city administrator(who?) set up"language" parameters that specifically gave "preference" to everyone who isn't "white" and "straight." So,the city has been endorsing a policy of illegal preferences and discrimination (and this pattern carries on into other areas,too (human resources)). You see,when "equity" is abused, it infringes upon the 14th Amendment rights of others, "equal protection" under the law. That legal foundation and argument has been established and adjudicated (with numerous precedents) in federal courts. The language in the application was specifically designed to deter and discriminate against persons like me. That's unlawful. Exhibit A (see attached): "Select 6 Tigard residents from the community at large, with preference to those that can best represent the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and faith communities in Tigard." The "Racial Equity Tools" document draws heavily from CRT(Critical Race Theory aka Communist Racist Tyranny). CRT is race-based Marxism, anti-white, anti-male, anti-individual, and it does not respect basic American freedoms, equality, and freedom of speech. It classifies people solely based upon skin-color, gender, and sexual orientation. Originally, Critical Theory was a German communist theory based on class economic struggle. It was later culturally misappropriated and plagiarized by Derrick Bell and turned into an anti-white screed, labelling all whites as oppressors, and blacks as victims. In recent years, other groups have jumped onto the victimization bandwagon. DEI and the Racial Equity Tools kit are fundamentally CRT fronts,simply posing under other disguised aliases. They promote condemnation, hatred, resentment, division, racism, and discrimination directed against Whites, promote matriarchy against a perceived patriarchy, and violate every noble notion of equality, fair play, and civility among human beings in our democratic republic,The Untied Sates of America,where all "citizens" are entitled to the same rights and freedoms. Let the public read this document carefully for themselves: Exhibit B (see attached): Racial Equity Tools. (attachment) Racial Equity Tools. Tigard city council gave local Muslim mosque prohibited public funds for"religious meals observances" Tigard City Council and City of Tigard Violated US Constitution: No Establishment of Religion,Separation of Religion and Government In early 2021,the Tigard city council gave the local mosque public funds (RAFT grants were ranged up to$25,000)for alleged "culturally sensitive" foods during Ramadan (a Muslim holy month). In fact,those are "halal" meals (animals ritually slaughtered according to Muslim religious practices, and other prescribed foods, etc.). By comparison, similar meat is much cheaper at local chain supermarkets. Islam is not a culture; it's a religion, of course! And the Muslim Educational Trust (MET) is not a "cultural" organization or charity; it's religion: 1) a conservative Sunni Muslim mosque (the Pakistani imam was trained by the Saudi Wahhabis), and 2)a Sunni Muslim K-12 religious school. This raises another issue: whether the imam (or a MET representative) apparently made false representations to the city council and staff(i.e. "culturally sensitive foods"), in order to obtain the grant funds; in fact,those are "religion sensitive" foods, and handing federal (or state, local) Covid funds to a mosque for religious dietary practices is prohibited establishment of religion, and blatantly unconstitutional. Those city councilors apparently knew hardly anything about Islam,or that 2 the USA is a secular republic, and that the US Constitution mandates separation of religion and government. To my knowledge, the city council has never given a dime to any other religious institution here, and there are at least six other religions represented in Tigard (and dozens of sects). In a TigardLife 'Mayor's Corner' newspaper column (March, 2021), the mayor even publicly encouraged people to "donate" money to the same Muslim religious center. And Jason Snider himself used the term "culturally sensitive foods." And there was NO municipal oversight (or financial accounting: purchases, expenditures, distribution) regarding how the money was actually used (and verifying the true number of any real non-Muslim families served the meals,too). In the Pakistani priest's home country, it's a theocracy; religion and government are inter-twined. On the contrary, this is the USA. We must protect both our constitutional 1)freedom of religion and 2)the separation of religion and government! ""Halal food" is a shorthand used for food establishments that use meat that has been zabihah slaughtered, and doesn't refer to any particular type of cuisine.The industry primarily, although not exclusively, centers around meat upon which a zabiha slaughter was performed. In short, a prayer is said over the animal and its throat is sliced cleanly by a Muslim slaughterman, after which the blood is drained. In America,the various groups that make up the halal food economy have shifted their hours and increased sanitary protocols to observe social distancing, accommodated demands that change by day, and embraced free meal distribution as a way to accommodate an unprecedented Ramadan." [by Ahmed Ali Akbar] Violence,Oppression of Women (and Gays):When the Scholls Ferry property was purchased by outside entities and the MET was constructed in Tigard, they hired a preacher for the religious services.The same imam told women who complained about domestic violence not to report it to the police, but to ask themselves what they were doing wrong that forced their husbands to beat them. Then, he quoted a section from the Koran, where it says a husband is permitted to beat a wife who disobeys him — but not to beat her face so as to disfigure her appearance. Many families have fled persecution by brutal religious regimes, and yet these women (who are genuine refugees) are still suppressed here (and via religion-based foreign agents). They see the freedom of women in our country— and naturally desire that same freedom,too. And yet, another ancestral tribal element seeks to keep them forever bound and subjugated, 1/2 instead of equal, and veiled (closeted). Washington County officials in various positions are misinformed and confused:they think this imam and small congregation (est. 175 families) somehow represent all Muslims here (and most don't live in Tigard), because of the umbrella name, Muslim Educational Trust, which might seem a bit deceptive. The politicians evidently don't know about Sunni, Shiite, Sufi, Wahhabi sects, etc. It's like when you see a sign that says "First Church of Christ." Living in our multi- cultural society-America,we know there are many denominations of churches,temples,etc. I asked a musician who performed music with me for many years (he is a devout Sunni Muslim who fled Afghanistan), what he thought of this local mosque. He said he would not take his daughters anywhere near it, because conservative Islam oppresses women. Caveat: If the City of Tigard has engaged in any diversion of federal (or state, local)grants to establish/support religious (or other prohibited) practices, then Tigard is at a distinct risk of losing any further federal grants or state funding for local projects. Exhibit C(see attached): Public Funds Misused for 1)the Illegal Establishment of Religion and 2) persons"ineligible" for such government grants. K, QUESTIONS: I want some straight answers from the city on this matter: 1. Where did the funds come from (federal or state) for the RAFT grants? 2. Besides the mayor, who used the deliberately misleading term "culturally sensitive foods"? Was that in the application? 3. How much much money was given to the mosque/religious school for the religious halal foods for Ramadan (for its mostly non-Tigard congregation)? 3 4. Where is the quantified verification to document that [any] families with NO muslims whatsoever also received the halal religious foods? 5. How much public money was illegally given to the 30 families (non-Tigard) who were determined to be in this country illegally, NOT refugees, and therefore totally ineligible to receive any government handouts of any kind? I want assurances from the City of Tigard and all its officials that such malfeasance and preferential/biased or discriminatory patterns, publications, etc. will cease and desist forever henceforth. This is just the tip of the iceberg — I don't have the time to list dozens of other examples(unless I'm remunerated for my professional research).

Indeed, universally agreed upon language on issues relating to racism is nonexistent. We discovered that even the most frequently used words in any discussion on race can easily cause confusion, which leads to controversy and hostility. It is essential to achieve some degree of shared understanding, particularly when using the most common terms. In this way, the quality of dialogue and discourse on race can be enhanced. Language can be used deliberately to engage and support community anti-racism coalitions and initiatives, or to inflame and divide them. Discussing definitions can engage and support coalitions. However, it is important for groups to decide the extent to which they must have consensus and where it is okay for people to disagree. It is also helpful to keep in mind that the words people use to discuss power, privilege, racism and oppression hold different meanings for different people. For instance, people at different stages of developing an analysis tend to attach different meanings to words like discrimination, privilege and institutional racism. Furthermore, when people are talking about privilege or racism, the words they use often come with emotions and assumptions that are not spoken. Many of the terms in this glossary have evolved over time. For example, given the changing demographic trends in the United States, the word "minority" no longer accurately reflects the four-primary racial/ethnic groups. The terms"emerging majority" and "people of color" have become popular substitutes. Also, the terms used to refer to members of each community of color have changed over time. Whether to use the terms African American or Black, Hispanic American, Latinx or Latino, Native American or American Indian, and Pacific Islander or Asian American depends on a variety of conditions, including your intended audiences' geographic location, age, generation, and, sometimes, political orientation.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/27/2023 Length(in minutes): Consent Item Agenda Title: Locust Street SRTS IGA with Washington County Authored By: Jeff Peck Presented By: Item Type: Motion Requested Public Hearing No Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE Council will consider whether to authorize the City Manager to sign an Intergovernmental Agreement(IGA)with Washington County for cost share obligations for the Locust Street,Safe Routes to School(SATS)project. ACTION REQUESTED Staff recommends the Council authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Locust Street Safe Routes to School(SRTS)project will provide an enhanced crosswalk with rapid flashing beacons at the intersection of Locust Street and Lincoln Street. A new sidewalk(approximately 1,465 feet in length)will be constructed on the north side of Locust Street between 92nd Avenue and Hall Boulevard to complete the pedestrian network adjacent to Metzger Elementary School. Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations There are no previous considerations for the Locust Street SRTS project. Should the IGA be agreed to,staff will be back in front of Council with an Invitation to Award Contract for construction. Public Involvement Metzger staff and parent representatives were actively engaged with the city in the development of Metzger's SRTS Action Plan completed in 2016. During that process,parents and staff participated in walk audits of the neighborhood streets surrounding the school and gave input about barriers and recommendations. In winter 2018-19,a Metzger team participated in SRTS Action Plan workshops held by the City and identified priority infrastructure projects in the 2016 action plan. More recently,early in 2020 input was sought from the new Metzger principal and the lead teacher for fifth grade bike safety about potential projects and their highest priorities were the projects selected for their grant application. Since the ODOT SRTS grant was awarded to the City,Staff has held two Open Houses at Metzger Elementary to solicit comments on the preferred sidewalk alignment and crossing improvements. Impacts (Community,Budget,Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) The Community will receive a complete pedestrian network adjacent to Metzger Elementary school as well as an enhanced crossing at the Lincoln Street/Locust Street intersection improving student safety while traveling to and from school. The Locust Street SRTS project has an approximate budget of$2,140,000. Approximately half of the project costs will be funded by City Gas tax,$1,115,000. The remaining funding will come from the combination of an ODOT Safe Routes to School Grant awarded to the city in the amount of$792,000 and from Washington County MSTIP Opportunity funds in the amount of$240,000 upon approval of this IGA.In July of 2020,Tigard teammates requested$240,000 in MSTIP Opportunity Funds from the Washington County Coordinating Committee(WCCC)to cover the anticipated match amount for the ODOT Safe Routes to School Grant.At its August 2020 meeting,the WCCC approved Tigard's request and this IGA will formalize Washington County's contribution to the project.The County's MSTIP Opportunity Fund provides Washington County cities with flexible dollars that can be used to leverage competitive grant opportunities by meeting local match requirements for projects that improve mobility options for those traveling on foot,by bike,and using public transit. The project supports Tigard's Vision and Strategic goal by creating a well-connected,attractive,and accessible pedestrian network. The project also complies with the City's Complete Streets policy. ALTERNATIVES& RECOMMENDATION The City Council could choose not to enter into the IGA,and seek additional funding elsewhere. Staff has negotiated the IGA with the County and believes it to be fair.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/27/2023 Length(in minutes): Consent Item Agenda Title: Pavement Management Plan(PMP)Roadway Striping Project Contract Authored By: Toni Riccardi Presented By: Project Manager Nichole George Item Type: Motion Requested Public Hearing Yes Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication 05/15/2023 Date in Newspaper: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE The purpose of this action is to approve the Pavement Management Plan(PMP) Roadway Striping Project contract. ACTION REQUESTED Staff recommends the Local Contract Review Board award the contract to Specialized Pavement Marking,LLC for the PMP Roadway Striping Project contract for an estimated amount of$279,794.00 and authorize the City Manager to take the steps necessary to execute the contract. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Work under this project will include refreshing pavement markings,as well as yellow and white striping along major arterials,collectors and a few residential streets.In the past,Engineering partnered with Marion County crews for this striping and had a time and materials arrangement. Their crews are experienced and equipped for county roadways with little traffic control required. The traffic control required within urban environments such as Tigard makes striping too dangerous for the Marion County crew with their existing equipment,and they provided notice to the City that they are no longer able to fulfill our striping work. By contracting the striping work,the City will benefit from options such as night work which allows the work to go faster with less impact to our residents. The City issued an Invitation to Bid for the project on May 15,2023,with notice published in the Daily Journal of Commerce. Upon bid closing,the City received a response from one contractor,Specialized Pavement Marking,LLC. The Contracts team has reviewed the bids and determined that Specialized Pavement Marking,LLC has submitted the lowest reasonable bid. Specialized Pavement Marking,LLC has no State of Oregon Contractor Construction Board violations and is not on the Bureau of Labor and Industries ineligible list. Accordingly,it is recommended that a contract for the City's PMP Roadway Striping Project be awarded to Specialized Pavement Marking,LLC in the amount of$279,794.00. ALTERNATIVES&RECOMMENDATION The Local Contract Review Board may choose to not award this contract and direct staff to solicit bids again for the work. Doing so would likely jeopardize the schedule for PMP work this season. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES None Attachments No file(s)attached. AIS-5250 4. C.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/27/2023 Length(in minutes): 20 Minutes Agenda Title: Inclusive Language and Demographics Update Authored By: Nicole Hendrix Presented By: Kathy Nyland,Assistant City Manager;Nicole Hendrix,Senior Management Analyst Item Type: Update,Discussion,Direct Staff Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE This presentation will provide a summary of steps taken around Diversity,Equity and Inclusion,and the work in progress as we work towards operationalizing practices to create a sense of belonging.The immediate actions being discussed are focused on language and communications.The presentation will also provide a look ahead on actions we are taking to advance our goal of being a welcoming community to and for all. ACTION REQUESTED This briefing is informational.No action is requested at this time.City teammates welcome suggestions and directives as we continue advancing our equity goals. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City of Tigard is committed to building a welcoming,and just community,in word and in deed.Diversity,Equity and Inclusion has been a priority for the City of Tigard for several years. That journey reached a new level in 2020 when we were challenged to,among other things,eliminate institutional racism and ensure equity within all city operations and structures.Tangible steps were taken with the forming of the Public Safety Advisory Board in 2021, hiring our first DEIB Manager in 2022,increasing our DEI investment in the Fiscal Year 2023 city budget,and finalizing our Racial Equity Action Plan. The city has embarked on a series of trainings with consultants and by partnering with the Tigard-Tualatin School District(TTSD).The partnership with TTSD includes co-organizing two important and inclusive community events, Pride Celebration and Juneteenth.Being a city that threads equity throughout everything we do is a big challenge,and sometimes small steps have a large impact. The City recognizes that words matter.Words and expressions can signal assumptions about people and can unintentionally reinforce dominant ideas.The City of Tigard has taken steps to incorporate inclusive language into business practices.Inclusive language means finding a way to name,honor,and value experiences and identities. Examples of how we are advancing inclusive language: •Years ago we eliminated the"Pinata Fee" •White Papers are now called"Issues Papers •The former"Brown Bags"are now"Lunch and Learns •Our"Master Plan&rdquo plans are now"System Plans" Community members"or"residents"will replace the use of"citizen" Being especially mindful of language is just one step we are taking to advance our goal.Understanding our community is also an important piece of the equation.We believe that by strengthening our foundation and our awareness,we will better serve the community.That is why we are taking steps to be more aware of who we are reaching,which will also tell us who we are not reaching. One of our commonly used tools for outreach is conducting surveys.We will now be adding a section to all surveys about demographics.We will have a standard set of seven key demographic questions that are commonly seen in local and national surveys such as Tigard's recent National Community Survey.Demographic questions will cover age, gender identity,racial/ethnic background,income,housing,employment,and languages spoken at home.These questions are encouraged and always optional for participants.We will share with participants that this information allows us to be more inclusive in our outreach efforts. Since this is an ongoing effort,we will continue to take steps to be a welcoming community.Some of those are highlighted below: Immediate •Apply the demographic questions to our surveys. •Cataloging our communications tools resulting in a comprehensive list of resources. •Creating inclusion sign-in sheet,which is a data-gathering tool that can used to document the diversity of participation in public meetings and events. •Aligning platforms to audience to be strategic,intentional,and impactful In Progress •Tyler,including Service Request Portal(previously known as 311),mobile application,and internal customer experience development team. •Applying Racial Equity Toolkit(RET)to policy considerations.The RET is a guide,or lens,to help us see our work from new points of view. It is a set of questions that provides a framework for us to start thinking about how our work benefits and burdens communities.Working on the Language Access Plan so we have shared understanding of our translation and interpretation resources. •Exploring a Content Relationship Management(CRM) system to better communicate with our residents,helping us be more proactive with our outreach efforts. •Creating Community Snapshots. •Developing a Spacefinder portal. •Enhancing our outreach and engagement efforts. •Partnering with Community Based Organizations (CBOs)to complement our efforts. Other •Developing an Inclusive Outreach and Engagement Toolkit and Strategic Communications Plan,which will include best practices,with the intent of improving the way we reach out to and engage with an increasingly diverse public. •Developing a Welcome to Tigard portal,a one-stop shop(online) that can help people navigate the city. ALTERNATIVES&RECOMMENDATION The City team recommends that Council provide their reactions,thoughts,or guidance based on the information presented.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/27/2023 Length (in minutes):45 Minutes Agenda Title: Community Development Projects Quarterly Update Authored By: Jacob Storm Presented By: Community Development Director Kenny Asher Item Type: Public Hearing Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE The City of Tigard Community Development Department implements a diverse portfolio of projects that move the city toward its vision to become a city that is equitable,walkable,healthy,and accessible for all. These projects focus on land use and long-range planning,current planning and development,economic development,redevelopment,revitalization,and more.To help bring City Council along with these sometimes complex and lengthy efforts,quarterly updates from the Director are scheduled to share basic information,milestones,and next steps. ACTION REQUESTED No action requested. This update serves to inform the council of Community Development projects and programs. Note: Community Development also manages Title 18, the city's Development Code,and administers the Building Code and specialty codes.This update is not an exhaustive report on departmental activities. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Community Development Department is currently at work on 23 major projects.The following provides a brief description each project. This should orient the council as to the projects'purpose and need prior to the Quarterly Report presentation,which will provide some additional information under the assumption that the councilors have a basic understanding of the projects. Climate Friendly&Equitable Communities This is a project to bring the Tigard Development Code into compliance with the parking reform requirements of the state's new CFEC rules.The Council adopted the first phase of parking reform in December 2022.The second phase has been paused while the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development(DLCD) amends the rules that impact those rules.There are no state rule changes that would impact the first phase of reforms already adopted. River Terrace 2.0 The River Terrace 2.0 Concept Plan was completed in May 2021, fulfilling a previous council goal to plan for the addition of new urban reserves to Tigard.At Council's direction,an application to expand the Urban Growth Boundary was submitted to Metro in October 2021.This application was approved in February and acknowledged by DLCD in May. Metro Council is scheduled to approve grant funding for the next phase of planning in July. Safe Spaces In response to the expected increase in novel transitional housing operations funded by the Metro-wide Supportive Housing Services measure,Community Development is preparing standards for locating, designing, and operating these spaces.There are currently no standards in the code,and state law preempts the application of local codes until at least June 30,2023.This project will ensure the city is prepared when state preemption ends,but was paused due to pending legislation.At least one pending bill would extend this preemption past June 30,but is currently in limbo as the legislative session has stalled. If it is not passed,this project will resume. Tenant Protections In response to the threat of a third mass eviction, as well as consistent community feedback received in annual rent burden meetings held by the City,Community Development is researching tenant protection measures in other cities and may bring to Council a proposed slate of reforms to help protect Tigard's most vulnerable residents and honor our commitment to equity in housing. Tigard HOME Tigard HOME,which stands for Housing,Opportunity,Mobility, and Ease,is a long-range planning project that aims to provide more options for community members living in Tigard by facilitating more flourishing self-contained communities where housing,economic,and entertainment options are easily accessible to a variety or mobility types (walking/biking/rolling). Staff completed the urban agriculture code update in November 2022 and is currently conducting outreach for the next phase, focused on other nonresidential activity in neighborhoods. Tigard MADE Tigard MADE,which stands for Maintain,Advance,and Diversify Employment,updates existing land use regulations governing Tigard's employment lands to accommodate a changing development landscape,an evolving economy,and a constrained land supply. Staff is currently working with stakeholders to refine the draft code,which will be brought for adoption around Winter 2023/2024. Washington Square Regional Center(WSRC) The main goal of this project is to help the WSRC realize its potential for transformative,equitable,and sustainable growth.The focus of Phase 1 is to update the land use and transportation policy framework for the WSRC consistent with: (1) current community needs and aspirations, (2) emerging market trends,and (3)Tigard's goal to be a walkable,healthy, and inclusive community.The focus of Phase 2 is to implement these new policies through a variety of actions including,but not limited to: adopting new zoning and development regulations,pursuing funding for priority projects,and advocating for needed improvements with internal and external stakeholders. Tigard Energy Resiliency Initiative The Tigard Resiliency Initiative is a study to understand how Tigard might consider enhancing its resiliency through distributed energy(or micro grids).A FEMA BRIC (i.e.,Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) grant is funding a feasibility analysis which will be completed in July. Red Rock Creek Trail Implementation Plan Alignment Study The Red Rock Creek Trail Implementation Plan is studying alignment options for a proposed two-mile trail that connects the Tigard Triangle with the Hunziker Core and downtown.The Metro RFFA-funded grant will result in a preferred trail alignment and implementation plan for a significant active transportation eenwa crossingthat crosses the barriers of Highway 217 and railroad tracks. � Y majorg Y Business Support- Loan Fund The City will deposit$400,000 in funds with Business Impact NW staff will work with CDFI Business ImpactNW to deliver a loan program to business owners in Tigard.That deposit could result in$1.2M in lending over the next ten years. Immediate next steps include marketing this new business support tool to local commercial banks and directly to business owners. Business Incubators -Opportunity Café The Opportunity Cafe was launched in partnership with Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon and the Tigard Public Library to remove barriers for economically and socially challenged entrepreneurs from MESO's network of minority business owners. Israel Martinez opened his business El Cuadrilatero at the Opportunity Cafe in September 2021 and will end his tenure in September 2023.This creates an opportunity to refill the space with a new entrepreneur from MESO's network of traditionally underserved entrepreneurs. AVA Roasteria Mixed Use Development This project oversees the completion of a new mixed-use building in the city's Vertical Housing Development Zone.The building,which is under construction,is being built at a key location on Main Street on a former brownfield. It will include 22 apartments,ground-floor retail including a new AVA Roasteria location,and a public viewing deck overlooking Fanno Creek. Alongside Senior Housing This public/private partnership with Northwest Housing Alternatives will result in 57 affordable apartments for seniors 62 and older.The project, adjacent to the Tigard Senior Center,is nearing completion,with the lease-up process getting underway. Downtown Parking Strategy Staff and Downtown stakeholders will develop a parking strategy and a multi-year parking management plan.A reconstituted stakeholder committee will start meeting in July and an updated parking study will be conducted later this summer. Downtown Reimagined This state-funded grant project is engaging with community stakeholders on the next steps toward making the Downtown Tigard Vision a reality.The result will be proposed land use and transportation policy changes for council adoption in 2024. Nick Wilson Memorial Plaza A new trail connection and small public space overlooking Fanno Creek is being planned next to the Cooper Mountain Ale Works.Design and engineering kicked off in March 2023. Tigard Triangle Redevelopment REACH Community Development will build 85 affordable apaiunents in the Tigard Triangle with the support of$1 million in TCDA development assistance.The project will also fill in some missing pedestrian infrastructure offsite in the Triangle. Universal Plaza Phase One of the plaza, featuring an interactive splash pad, food carts,community tables and porch swings, establishes a hub of activity, a stimulus for downtown's continued redevelopment,and an emblem of civic pride and identity for Tigard residents. Family Promise Project Family Promise of Tualatin Valley will acquire the Quality Inn to provide 72 rooms of transitional housing for houseless families and individuals,including access to services.The Town Center Development Agency (TCDA) awarded$1 million in development assistance to assist with the acquisition and renovations. Electric Mobility and Curbside Management Strategy The Electric Mobility and Curbside Management Strategy will support equitable transportation electrification and allocation of public right of way space in Tigard.The project will analyze strengths, weaknesses,opportunities,and challenges related to transportation electrification and use of public curb space,and will ultimately recommend new policies and updates to existing policy guiding the transition to personal and shared electric vehicles,e-bikes,and e-micro-mobility modes.The strategy will support local, regional,and statewide transportation sector greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. Safe Routes to School The fundamental goal of Tigard's Safe Routes to School program is to shift how our young community members travel to and from school.The program is designed to decrease the number of car and light truck/SUV trips by providing educational and encouragement programming along with infrastructure investments in support of walking,rolling,and school bus travel modes. Multiple benefits of this shift include reduced community traffic congestion,increased physical activity,improved air quality,reduced crashes and injuries,increased youth autonomy,and decreased climate emissions related to vehicle use. Complete Streets A"Complete Streets"policy and approach to street design,operations,and maintenance is a cornerstone of equitable transportation development and decision-making. Streets that are complete work for people of all ages and abilities regardless of how they get around—walking,bicycling,mobility aid,transit,or vehicle. Tigard's Complete Streets policy is foundational to the 2040 Transportation System Plan and in how Tigard plans for and invests in its transportation system. Tyler Enterprise Permitting and Licensing (EPL) Community Development is leading the configuration and production of the Tyler Enterprise Permitting and Licensing(EPL) module.This module will streamline permit and planning review timelines and processes,allow for electronic document review,and facilitate interdepartmental coordination.The Tigard EPL team is actively working with Tyler implementation consultants to understand EPL functionality, configure our workflow processes in EPL,create effective and efficient cross-module linkages,upload and connect all relevant historical data to the correct records.The Tigard EPL team is also actively coordinating with other Tyler teams,including the newly created Customer Experience team.We expect to go live with EPL in Spring 2024.
