(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Proposal for Christ the King church parking Comments I have mobility issues and cannot come to the meeting on the 26th although I would like to and as you I am sure are aware that meeting is during spring break in Tigard schools so there may be some who unfortunately cannot attend either due to travel or child care issues. I sincerely implore the council to take a hard look at the issue of safe parking in the church parking lot.While it may be a good program I believe it needs to be located outside of neighborhoods and possibly on public property and not private property for the following reasons: 1.The address has been well publicized 2.There are sanitary facilities planned-washing station and portable toilets.3.There is NO one on site 24 hours to monitor compliance nor to ensure others don't park there.4.The site is near homes with children,school bus stop,day care facilities,apartment, and marajuana store.5.There is a very high probability the site will attract others and it will turn into a homeless camp and not a safe parking for three cars because of the publicity,the facilities,and most especially lack of on site monitoring. 6. I understand it is much easier to evict someone who trespasses if they are on public and not private property.7. Everything I read says that the Beaverton site started out fine but now has a myriad of problems which the neighbors and the school(st cecilia)are desperate to solve.8. Please go into Portland and look at church parking lots where homeless have set up camp and view the issues of human waste,violence, harassment,drugs, and more.9. I lived in Portland before moving out here-we were near Laurelhurst park.As of the time I left, parts of the park were unusable for those citizens who actually pay the taxes to maintain it because of the above reasons.As a tax paying citizen in Washington county I implore you to reconsider the church site and at the very least, locate the safe parking program outside of neighborhoods and homes.

Name Dianne Cassidy Email Complete Address 3601 Wren St. Lake Oswego,OR 97034 Which agenda item or topic are you commenting on? (Comments are due by Monday at noon) Public Comment Letter is too large to attach and will be mailed or delivered to Tigard City Hall for distribution. Comments I am a commercial property owner in Tigard and recently discovered that I had an Illicit Massage Business(IMB)as a tenant in one of my buildings. I am happy to report that the tenant and her business has been evicted and should be out of the space within a week. I wonder though,will the new business owner now set up shop somewhere else in Tigard?It would be easy to do so given the lax codes Tigard has to deter these businesses.As I searched for ways to get rid of this business, I ran into many obstacles at the City and State level. My research on these businesses turned up a set of model municipal ordinances that both deter new illicit massage businesses from being established in a jurisdiction, as well as providing a means to remove them easily without expending valuable time and city resources. Please read this letter and look at the referenced websites to see what works elsewhere and what might work for Tigard.Currently Tigard business licenses do not even require a statement of what a business actually does, nor does it require vital information about the business:State registration number, Registered Agent, Required state or other professional licenses,and more.There seems to be more concern about signage than whether or not a business is legal. I have spoken to the Lake Oswego Police about this matter and found that Detective Scott Anderson is heading an effort to write municipal codes that will provide a means to prevent and remove IMBs from the City. Det.Anderson is another resource to contact about the subject. I hope that Tigard will make the effort to rid the city of these illegal businesses that exploit their workers and the citizens who must live with them in their public spaces. I welcome any questions you may have.Sincerely, Dianne Cassidy 503-998-0282 3601 Wren St. Lake Oswego,OR 97034 Attachment Supporting Documents/Images 1 Dianne Cassidy . 3601 Wren St Lake Oswego . Oregon . 97034 Mayor and City Council,City of Tigard, Oregon City Manager,City of Tigard Tigard Police Department Tigard City Attorney February 24, 2024 Dear Sirs& Madams, Sadly, I have recently become aware of how pervasive illicit massage businesses (IMBs) are after discovering that one exists in a commercial property I own. We are trying to evict the business,.but this is not always easy without proof of illegal activity or other code compliance issues. If we are successful, the business will likely not fold but locate somewhere else,doing the same things and harming the same people,just in a new location. I also know that current laws that should protect the public(and the victims)from these operations are fragmented and inadequate, leaving local jurisdictions few resources with which to remove them. Illicit massage businesses that offer sexual services are a ubiquitous part of the landscape,appearing to most to be legitimate massage businesses. These businesses "hide in plain sight", unless you know what to look for. A consumer wishing to find an 1MB need only consult one of many websites that list places that offer massages with"happy endings" The most well-known is -ubmaps.ce where one can search by zip code,state or city for a location nearby. These illegal businesses proliferate because they know how difficult it is currently for local governments to shut them down and that there is no appetite for municipalities to deal with them. IMBs also practice a form of whack-a-mole by frequently changing workers and business owners and making it difficult to locate or deal with responsible parties. Many people in law enforcement and people in general consider prostitution to be a victimless crime, but it is not. Illegal massage businesses foster human trafficking and exploit workers who may feel trapped. Most women who work in the industry do so out of necessity or coercion,not by choice! No city should provide a haven for this type of business to exist,especially when there are effective ways to prevent and dismantle them. Currently businesses and individuals offering massage services in Oregon must be licensed by the Oregon State Board of Licensed Massage Therapists. Each practitioner and facility must be separately licensed per the requirements set forth by the Board. Some IMBs have a licensed LMT as a figurehead, but most flaunt the laws governing massage therapy. It's a dead giveaway that when a worker has limited English skills,they don't have a license. See: https://www.oregon.gov/obmt/Pages/license.aspx The licensing requirements are lengthy and include proof of required coursework, passing an examination,and being fingerprinted and photographed. These regulations provide a level of protection for the public that the massage practitioner is qualified and does not have a criminal background—IF the business follows the law. Unfortunately,other than revoking licenses and other administrative sanctions,the Board does not intervene in some other illegal practices such as: Unethical or immoral behavior and/or conduct of a massage services client Conduct or behavior under the scope or jurisdiction of another board or agency This leaves enforcement of illegal behavior up to local jurisdictions to handle. It is currently very difficult to detect and prosecute illicit massage businesses, requiring a high degree of willingness to do the job and having the resources to do it. One way of eradicating and preventing IMBs is to use the LMT Board requirements to enhance a city's business code. By incorporating the requirements that each practitioner and facility provide a state license prior to issuing a business license,the city will discourage IMBs from setting up shop in the city to begin with. If the city code required such documentation be posted inside the establishment and renewed annually,a code compliance officer or police representative could easily do spot checks on all license requirements to determine if the business was in compliance with all state and local codes and laws. At any time, if a business failed to comply with the code,the business license could be revoked and the business shut down. This negates the need for expensive and time-consuming police stings and prosecutions for eliminating most of the IMBs. This would not prevent all instances of illegal behavior, but a business owner would think twice about setting up shop in an area if they knew their businesses could be easily closed down. The Human Trafficking Institute has a webpage that explains how the IMB industry operates and gives a link to Children At Risk that has a toolkit for municipalities to combat the problem. Many of the suggestions mirror what I have outlined below, plus others that are working in Texas cities today. A review of these websites should give one a good picture of the industry and simple, effective, proactive things cities can, and should do. Teaming up with neighboring jurisdictions would also keep IMBs from simply moving to a new location close by. Municipal Code Enhancements: • Require state licenses for the facility and all massage workers. Documentation should include state-required fingerprinting and photos for all workers. • Require licenses to be submitted annually to obtain business license. • Require annual signed statement or other proof of ownership of business, (legal and financial) responsible parties and registered agent. • Prohibit businesses from advertising on certain websites and from using certain words or phrases or images in their advertising or signage. • Prohibit blacked-out or covered windows. • Require all required licenses(including business license)be on display near the entry of the business and accessible to the public and code enforcement officers,etc. • Limit the hours of operation so IMBs cannot work after a certain hour. • Prohibit sleeping or living on premises. • Institute required compliance checks semi-annually and upon complaints from the public. • Plus other codes as written in the Local Government Guide referenced below. Another way cities and counties can combat erotic massage parlors is to be in contact with building owners and managers. Often landlords are not aware of what is going on in their buildings,or what to do about it if they do. Landlords have a few options if willing to prevent or evict an 1MB from their property. A city-run education campaign can inform landlords of what to look out for before an IMB moves in. • Screen tenants and do credit checks of business entities prior to leasing or renewing a lease. • Learn how IMBs operate and what to look for. • Inspect the premises and ask to see licenses for all workers. • Require annual state business registration,licensing and insurance for the businesses. • Make the original lessee responsible for all rent and legal obligations of the tenancy. • Make lessee responsible for their clients' behavior while on the premises. • Use lease to evict tenants who: o Engage in illegal business activities. o Sublet space without landlord approval. o Disturb other tenants or cause a nuisance to neighbors. I hope that the City Council and Police Department will give serious thought to the ways they can eradicate illegal massage parlors. Their presence physically and spiritually degrades the city and its citizens,and shows the world that breaking the law is easy here,and no one in power wants to put in the effort to take care of the problem. Sincerely, • Dianne Cassidy PS: Detective Scott Anderson of the Lake Oswego Police Department is working with the state and other agencies to write new municipal codes to deter new IMBs and force their removal more efficiently.

Not only do they engage in severe forms of trafficking,they are also part of larger hubs of human and sex trafficking networks which flow transnationally. In addition to sex trafficking,these establishments engage in debt bondage,along with organized criminal activities such as money laundering, immigration fraud,smuggling,wage and hour violations, and tax evasion. Each node in this "trafficking hub" presents a possible opportunity for local intervention and prevention. IMBs are hidden in plain sight in our hometowns and communities. These illicit establishments violate a multitude of state and federal laws. Often, IMBs operate in violation of zoning, licensing,and regulatory municipal ordinances. By adopting a problem-oriented approach to IMBs and human trafficking,cities and towns can take a proactive and preventative approach to shut down existing IMBs and prevent more from opening. Existing state lows can fortify local ordinances and regulations. Local law enforcement can utilize a number of existing laws to inspect and deter IMBs. The following toolkit for municipalities explains how these resources can be maximized to to eradicate IMBs in our cities and in the State. Municipalities that have illicit massage establishments in their communities do not have to solely rely on state regulations. Through various delegations of police powers, municipalities have the authority to enact ordinances to regulate these businesses which are fronts for prostitution at the very least &are often fronts for human trafficking. By enacting key provisions, municipalities can regulate these illicit businesses while investigating human trafficking holding property owners accountable, &avoiding additional victimization of human trafficking victims. For municipalities that wish to adopt a proactive response to eradicating the IMBs in their community, the following provisions are key to targeting & eliminating human trafficking. https://www.mhacc-usa.org/trapped-in-the-da rkness-the-harsh-rea lite-of-chi nese-women-in-a merica-s-i I licit-massage-industry The Illicit Massage Industry in the United States According to the latest 2023 data Ili from The Network,a non-profit organization dedicated to combating the illicit massage industry(www.thenetworkteam.orc: There are over 13,000 suspected illicit massage businesses(iMBs)across all 50 states in the U.S.,marking a 32.3% increase in the industry over the past year,with annual revenue exceeding$5 billion. •To put this into perspective with some startling comparative data: In New York,for every single Starbucks,there are 2 iMBs;while in California,for every McDonald's,there are 3 IMBs. ® On average,each IMB has between 2-4 victims.A single iMB sees 8-12 customers daily.If we take the lower estimate of 8 customers per day and multiply it by 13,000 IMBs,that could potentially mean over 100,000 incidents of sexual violence happening across the U.S.every day. l&Women trafficked into IMBs carry an average debt of$45,000. •68%of the victims in the illicit massage industry are without legal status. II These women are forced to work six days a week,with workdays lasting 12-16 hours. Among the victims,84%come from China,7%from Thailand,and 9%from other countries. Hidden in plain sight: How illicit massage parlors thrived in Greensboro and what is being done about it by Sayaka MatsuokaJanuary 22nd,2024 https://triad-city-beat.com/illicit-massage-parlors-greensboro/ Excerpt: One sex-services website currently lists about half a dozen massage parlors that claim to offer illicit services. However, at many of the locations listed, which TCB visited, it was unclear whether illegal sex trafficking was taking place. But that doesn't matter,says Holder, who has been pushing for city officials to simply shut down businesses if they don't have the proper licenses either at the state or city level. "You know, I would just follow state law,the one that was meant to combat this problem,"he said. Because law enforcement has been slow to act on this issue, Holder has taken it upon himself to reach out directly to leasing agents and landlords to inform them when it appears illegal massage parlors are operating out of their buildings. In December, he reached out to Justin Conrad, a former Guilford County commissioner and the owner of multiple properties in Greensboro, including 2109 New Garden Road.According to Conrad,they were notified by Holder that an illicit massage parlor was trying to open up in his shopping center, something he realized after seeing an advertisement noting the address on one of the online sex websites. Conrad quickly reached out to Will Roach,the property manager for Roach Realty, who handles leasing for the building and shut the process down. "It quickly became clear that massage wasn't their business and it wasn't operating legally," Roach told TCB. "We worked quickly with our attorneys to notify them that they were in breach of their lease and we were able to get them out fairly quickly;they hadn't even opened yet." This tactic is something that Holder has been calling his"landlord engagement campaign." "If there was a statewide landlord engagement,we wouldn't have[these businesses]," Holder said.

Here's my concern:The projected parking lot location at Christ The King Church abuts an established neighborhood.Where will the people who live in their cars go during the day? If they are actually employed,where will they go on weekends?We understand that many houseless people prefer to live in their vehicles vs shelters or tiny houses due to restrictions and/or mistreatment. I know. I've read the stories. I've even met one personally. I urge the City of Tigard and Great Compassion to show compassion.Secure a place where these people can feel safe to park.A place they can call home until their standard of life improves.Target public land sites.There's plenty of public open space that gives some privacy to their livability away from city offices and residential areas. I further urge the City of Tigard and Just Compassion to consider the needs,safety,and livability of people already living in an established residential neighborhood.Their lives matter too!

In general,regardless of our location,we don't feel this program,(promoting living your vehicle),is really a good solution for these individuals,or a good use of city allotted funds.We feel housing these individuals in hotels at reduced rates for 30 to 60 days while they can get back on their feet is a much better use of the funds,and more suitable and human method of helping individuals in this situation.Thank you so much for your attention to this email.Sincerely, Randy Attachment Supporting Documents/Images Thank you, City of Tigard This is an automated message generated by Granicus.Please do not reply directly to this email. 1 Carol Krager From: City of Tigard, OR <webteam@tigard-or.gov> Sent: Monday, March 25, 2024 10:07 AM To: Carol Krager;Jesse Raymundo;Webteam Subject: *NEW SUBMISSION*City Council Public Comment Form City Council Public Comment Form Submission#: 3088760 IP Address: 73.37.31.48 Submission Date: 03/25/2024 10:07 Survey Time: 1 minute,5 seconds You have a new online form submission.

(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Tigard Safe Parking Program Comments Dear City Council Elected Officials, I am writing regarding the proposed Safe Parking Program at Christ the King Lutheran Church, which is located in my neighborhood.This parking lot currently hosts a preschool with 30 children on site daily. In addition,a variety of neighbors live within feet of this parking lot,or even share a fence line with the proposed location.Young children wait for theirTTSD bus within feet of the proposed parking spaces,often unattended in the early dark hours of the morning.There are no street lights on SW 114th Ave., making this area quite dark before the sun rises. I do not dispute the merits of this program,or its intent.We all want to see the houseless crisis addressed-but not at the expense of safety or decreased livability! I implore the city to implement criteria for Safe Parking locations very near schools and homes.The City has a duty to ensure projects are effective and keep citizens safe-this proposal currently has no plan for overnight security, recourse if overnight parking extends into nearby neighborhoods,or a drug screening requirement. I have the following requests-Create an Open House Online Forum-there is still no plan to allow wide community participation and we want to be heard. Select public or private property within safe distances from homes and schools for the 3 Safe Parking projects proposed in Tigard.

(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Homeless Parking at Church on Bull Mt Road Comments I am very concerned with both the proposed location,and the lack of concern for the community by this church.While I understand the need for homeless assistance,the location is too close to residential areas.One concern I have is that this is close to the Bottle Drop;a known attraction to homeless and addicted individuals. I worked in downtown Portland for 20 years and saw the city go downhill after allowing homeless camping(most notably in the parks approximately 10 years aog). It became dangerous,dirty and a vile place to work. Friends who live in Portland are plagued by homeless problems.Tigard does not need this in a residential area. It does not sound like the police,or the church,is equipped to control crime or prevent this from growing.We know that current policies do not adequately protect the homeowners, apartment renters,and other residents who work hard for their housing.While I have sympathy for those falling on hard times, my experience with the homeless population in Portland has been extremely negative.This is not the appropriate location for homeless parking.

(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Houseless parking at christ the king Comments I am writing today to express my concerns for the proposal to allow houseless vehicles at the church off 114th and Bull Mountain. I live 1/4 mile from the proposed site and have 3 elementary aged children. I love my neighborhood, my neighbors and have deep compassion for those that are less fortunate than myself.While I recognize the need for this program, I do not feel that the proposed location would provide the best service to either the houseless individuals and/or the families in the community.With no drug testing required,allowing participants to qualify with a "non-recent" history of sexual and violent crimes, limited supervision, no services within the immediate area,yet surrounded by residential living(i.e.children everywhere)and a close proximity to several schools,this does not seem like the right location for this project!!As a side not,Just Compassion has stated many times that they do not disclose the location of their parking spots,yet at this point everyone is aware of this location! I would plead for you to consider alternate locations for these types of projects and that any permits for these types of requests require a public/on the record vote!Thank you for taking the time to read my comments.

(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Safe Parking Project Comments Dear City Council Elected Officials, I am writing regarding the proposed Safe Parking Program at Christ the King Lutheran Church, which is located in my neighborhood.This parking lot currently hosts a preschool with 30 children on site daily. In addition,a variety of neighbors live within feet of this parking lot,or even share a fence line with the proposed location.Young children wait for theirTTSD bus within feet of the proposed parking spaces,often unattended in the early dark hours of the morning.There are no street lights on SW 114th Ave.,making this area quite dark before the sun rises. I do not dispute the merits of this program, or its intent.We all want to see the houseless crisis addressed-but not at the expense of safety or decreased livability! I implore the city to implement criteria for Safe Parking locations very near schools and homes.The City has a duty to ensure projects are effective and keep citizens safe-this proposal currently has no plan for overnight security, recourse if overnight parking extends into nearby neighborhoods,or a drug screening requirement. I have the following requests-Create an Open House Online Forum-there is still no plan to allow wide community participation and we want to be heard.Select public or private property within safe distances from homes and schools for the 3 Safe Parking projects proposed in Tigard. Ensure any funding provided by the city be met with basic safety criteria to prevent risks and demonstrate commitment to safety and livability Put any funding decisions to a city council vote- elected officials should be accountable as they vote to spend taxpayer dollars.

In addition I'd like to understand and have City resources start to turn to resolve ongoing camping in Tigard and expected more Camping as Portland clears their camping issues.

(Comments are due by Monday at noon) Safe Parking Program Comments I am grateful for tomorrow's City Council Mtg,and it's focus on addressing the community's concerns with the potential site of a Safe Parking Program at Christ the King Lutheran Church. My wife and I were grateful to meet with City Manager Steve Rymer last week and express our concerns and hear more from him about the city's hopes and intentions.As I shared with Steve,we are not in favor of this site location for a number of reasons concerns: 1)The site's proximity to schools and neighborhoods 2)The lack of privacy and excessive visibility for both individuals in the program and for nearby neighbors(such as my family)3)The church's likely inability to provide effective monitoring and security for both the safety of individuals and nearby neighbors,given the current lack of drug testing and the crime which often follows.These concerns as well as others that community members have voiced, leads me to again ask that the site at Christ the King Lutheran Church be taken off the City's plans for a Safe Parking Program.

Name Marti Willis Email Complete Address 15285 SW Bull Mountain Rd Tigard,OR 97224 Which agenda item or topic are you commenting on? (Comments are due by Monday at noon) Christ the King homeless vehicle encampment Comments I have lived on Bull Mountain since 1988 and seen changes that continue to change the mountain on a daily basis. From the housing developments to the long delays in traffic,the exit of long time families and the orchards that used to grace our mountain.We have been graced with a lot of young families to replace all these older residents that are no longer with us.We are developing a new community on the mountain and want to continue to make this an inviting place to live.To carry on the legacy of the mountain in the years to come. Please know that bringing in a homeless encampment that might endanger this new community. Impacting these young families and their children is not what we need to see. Not to mention those of us"old folks"that continue to call this our home as well.The beautiful area called Bull Mountain.While we have empathy towards the struggles of the homeless,we need to protect and respect those that have chosen to make this area their rightful home. Please consider this when making these camp decisions. For our residents,for our children,for our future.Allowing an encampment which could possibly endanger our children and residents,and ruin the aesthetics of the area is simply not a good idea. Especially when there are places that are much more suited to these encampments outside of residential areas.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 03/26/2024 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Supplemental Budget Resolution for City-County Houselessness Liaison IGA Authored By: Kim Ezell Presented By: Strategic Initiatives Program Manager Kim Ezell Item Type: Motion Requested Resolution Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE Intergovernmental agreement between Washington County,Tigard,Tualatin,and Sherwood to fund 1.0 FTE for city-level houselessness response with accompanying supplemental budget package. ACTION REQUESTED Consider the IGA and supplemental budget package to fund and hire 1.0 FTE for SE Washington County coordinated houselessness response. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Through collaborative conversations,Washington County recognized the need for more city-level support for the response to houselessness. Starting this year,they allocated funding for 4 City-County liaisons,each serving a specific geographic area of the County—SE Washington County,Beaverton,Hillsboro,and West Washington County.The allocation was roughly 1 FTE/100,000 people at$200,000 per year.The SE Washington County position will jointly serve Tigard,Tualatin, and Sherwood and be housed in the City Manager's Office in Tigard. This will be a communications-focused role.The FTE will concentrate on communication with the community about houselessness response in Washington County and strenghten communication about houselessness between the cities of SE Washington County. Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations N/A Impacts (Community,Budget,Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) The FTE will add a dedicated houselessness response resource for SE Washington County.This position will act as a bridge between the three cities and the County.The position will also work with the other three dedicated liaisons funded in West Washington County,Hillsboro, and Beaverton and Washington County Homeless Services staff. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving the IGA and supplemental budget package.Alternatively,the Council may decline to approve,and the FTE would not move forward. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Fiscal Impact Cost: $200,000 Budgeted (yes or no): No Where Budgeted (department/program): General Fund-Strategic Initiatives Additional Fiscal Notes: This new program will increase the City's expenditures and require additional General Fund appropriations in the amount of$200,000. However,the IGA provides full funding of the additional$200,000 resulting in a zero net effect on the total budget. Attachments Resolution Exhibit A- FY24 Washington Co Houseless IGA City/County Liaison IGA CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TIGARD CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 24- A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE FY 2024_HOUSELESS SERVICES CITY LIAISON BUDGET SUPPLEMENTAL. WHEREAS,the city acknowledges those items that were unknown at the time the FY 2024 budget was adopted; and WHEREAS,the city recognizes approximately$200,000 of unanticipated budget in operations; and WHEREAS, the increase in budget appropriation is funded by an offsetting increase in revenue equal to the requested operations amount and will therefore not reduce the reserve for future expenditures.

The County or each city shall be individually referred to by name or collectively as the "Cities" or jointly as the "Parties" as appropriate. RECITALS WHEREAS, ORS 190.010 authorizes units of local government to enter into agreements with each other to perform the functions and activities that each party has authority to perform; and WHEREAS, in May 2020, voters within the Metropolitan Service District ("Metro") passed a measure to fund both shelter and wraparound services for the Metro area homeless population. The purpose of the Supportive Housing Services (SHS) measure was to provide a funding mechanism to enable the provision of wraparound services through local government programs. County is the recipient of Metro SHS funding for the unincorporated county and its incorporated cities, including Tigard, Tualatin, and Sherwood; and WHEREAS, County and its cities are embracing an opportunity to create a more clear and official structure for coordination and action on homelessness. This agreement between the County and partnering city jurisdictions is intended to more clearly define roles and responsibilities to support program alignment and strategies that are working to make homelessness rare and brief in each of our cities, and across the entire county; and WHEREAS, County's Department of Housing Services serves as the County's Continuum of Care lead agency and is the sole recipient of regional tax funding for supportive housing services. However, city jurisdictions must navigate the challenges of homelessness through their provision of city services such as libraries, law enforcement, economic development, and neighbor relations daily. Cities receive little to no external funding to support these daily challenges and do not have a clear role in the provision of homeless services; and WHEREAS, the goal of this agreement is to support continued partnership between the Cities and County in addressing homelessness issues generally, and to Page 1 - Homeless Services System City Liaison IGA(Multi-City) 23-8757 coordinate in support of the strategies and homeless service system provided by community-based organizations,funded by the Washington County Division of Homeless Services, and delivered in the Cities; and WHEREAS, the County provides a coordinated system of services delivered through 20+ contracted services providers, and in order to support and enhance coordination of local issues related to homelessness, and homeless services provided across the County, this agreement is intended to provide funding to the Cities for a Homeless Services System City Liaison staff position, and the coordination work related to this role; and WHEREAS, this agreement is intended to provide the Cities with staffing capacity to work with County staff, and service providers in their jurisdiction, to ensure effective response and coordination in the provision of homeless services. This agreement does not pass funds for service provision through the City of Tigard to manage with third- party service providers; and WHEREAS, this agreement may also provide funding for homeless services capital projects in the Cities and funding for staff coordination to support these capital projects; AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 1. START AND END DATES. This Agreement shall be effective when signed by all Parties and shall remain in effect for as long as SHS funding is available unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 8 or extended further pursuant to Section 9. 2.

Supervision of Liaison and Work Equipment to be Provided by Each City 2.1 The City of Tigard is the Liaison's employer and is responsible for overall assignment of the Liaison. However, the Cities of Sherwood and Tualatin will each assign a primary point-of-contact for the Liaison. The primary point-of-contact will be responsible for on- boarding the Liaison into the individual City's systems, act as an internal resource, and report on the Liaison's performance periodically to the City of Tigard. The City of Tigard shall exercise sole discretion regarding discipline of the Liaison. 2.2 The Liaison will work the City of Tigard's default schedule— 10 hours a day, four days a week, Monday to Thursday. During the on-boarding period the Liaison may be Page 10 - Homeless Services System City Liaison IGA(Multi-City) 23-8757 required to be in-person for training and other on-boarding activities. After the on- boarding period,the Liaison will be remote, except as required. The Liaison will provide coordination activities to the City of Tigard approximately 50%, Tualatin 25% and Sherwood 25% of the time, with the understanding that this distribution may vary as needed. 2.3 The following will be provided for use by the Liaison: a. A computer, cell phone, and an email address will be issued to Liaison by the City of Tigard. b. Tualatin and Sherwood will issue necessary IT credentials.

Each City will provide City-owned vehicles for use by the Liaison, when required. 3. Potential funding for capital projects 3.1 Additional funding may be distributed through this agreement for the purposes of supporting capital projects in the Cities that will be dedicated for the provision of homeless services. 3.2 Funding may include both capital investments and staff coordination capacity needed to support the project. 3.3 Funding will be determined per project for both the capital and staff capacity support, be provided as one-time funding, and be fully described in an amended scope of work to this agreement. Each scope amendment will include funding amount, estimated timeline, and role definition for the Cities and County staff related to that project. 3.4 When a potential project is identified, each of the individual Cities and County Department of Housing Services staff will work together to determine that the project is fit for funding through this agreement. This process will include: a. Determination that the project is eligible for Supportive Housing Services funding as determined by Metro's work plan for SHS revenue, and consistent with the County's Local Implementation Plan. Page 11 - Homeless Services System City Liaison IGA(Multi-City) 23-8757 b. Determination that the project is consistent with geographic equity and distribution of services across the County. c.

Evaluation and reporting 4.1 Reporting and program evaluation elements of this partnership are intended to demonstrate the value of the partnership and identify opportunities for system improvement. Evaluation and reporting activities will be intentionally constrained to ensure that undue burden is not created for staff responsible for this coordination agreement. 4.2 Upon commencement of the agreement, the Cities and Department of Housing Services staff, in partnership with other city liaisons, will work together to develop a reasonable reporting template to define an annual narrative and program outcomes report. This template can be amended annually as the parties seek continued process improvements through learned experience. 4.3 Annual reporting and evaluation process: a. The Cities will each provide a narrative report describing the coordination activities that were achieved through this agreement by September 30 for the previous fiscal year (e.g., a narrative report for FY2024-25 will be due by Sept 30, 2025). b. The Department of Housing Services will provide each of the Cities with annual outcomes data from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to describe impact of services provided in the Cities by September 30 for the previous fiscal year(e.g., outcomes data for FY2024-25 will be due by Sept 30, 2025). c. The parties will co-present these annual reports and findings to the Washington County Homeless Services advisory body and may also present to each of the Page 12 - Homeless Services System City Liaison IGA(Multi-City) 23-8757 Cities' City Council, and the Washington County Board of County Commissioners, or other stakeholders as deemed mutually appropriate by the parties. d. The parties will convene at least annually to evaluate program outcomes and make recommendations for system improvements in April-May of each year, in advance of the County budget and work plan cycle. e. The parties will convene at least annually to review outcomes of this Homeless Services System City Liaison program to make recommended changes and improvements to this scope of work and overall contractual partnership. f.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 03/26/2024 Length(in minutes): 75 Minutes Agenda Title: Houselessness and Safe Lots Authored By: Kim Ezell Presented By: Strategic Initiatives Program Manager Kim Ezell and Beaverton Community Services Program Administrator Megan Cohen Item Type: Update,Discussion,Direct Staff Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE Presentation on the County-wide response to houselessness,Tigard's continued investment in reducing houselessness, and the proposed Safe Parking program fundamentals and next steps. ACTION REQUESTED Council is asked to provide direction and feedback on the proposed Safe Parking program. BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 2023 Council adopted the goal to "Reduce Houselessness" and specified creating shelter and transitional housing with wrap-around services as the key strategy City teammates should direct work towards. Since then,Tigard has invested in the Bridge to Home family shelter,increased internal expertise,created guidelines about where,when,and how community members may camp outside,and provided additional amenities on City property. The last year of investment is the latest in Tigard's history of creating an attractive environment for affordable housing development,shelter construction,and service provision. Looking ahead,Tigard wants to continue the work toward reducing houselessness through a Safe Parking program that will give people who are sleeping in their cars a safe place to sleep at night and access to housing resources.The program is specifically targeting community members who do not have substance-use disorders,maintain ownership and maintenance of their vehicle,and are actively working toward stabilizing their lives. The City of Tigard and area churches are actively working toward establishing Safe Parking lots at their locations.This presentation will help illustrate what Safe Parking's role is in the wider houselessness system,what the program would entail,how the City would safekeep the integrity of surrounding neighborhoods,and the next steps in the process.

One of those goals is to Reduce Houselessness. Tonight we are having a Council briefing, update, and discussion on the state of Houselessness in Tigard and Washington County with our Strategic Initiatives Program Manager, Kim Ezell. We have these updates periodically for our goals, but given the discussion that we're also having around Safe Parking, it felt like an important time to make sure we are doing a better job at communicating and sharing this information. There are a lot of moving pieces including providers and funding sources and it can be hard for even those in the know to keep track of everything. I want to remind everyone that you may agree or disagree with things being said during this presentation and discussion topic. Just like with public comments, if you agree with something being said and want that to be publicly known, please raise your hand. There is no applause, cheering, booing, heckling, or general disturbance from anyone. AFTER PRESENTATION Thank you Kim for this presentation and update. I also want to take the opportunity to clear up some confusion and inaccuracies that are floating around regarding Safe Parking and specifically the proposal at Christ the King Lutheran Church with Just Compassion. As most of you know, Christ the King held a community meeting in January to discuss their proposal of hosting a Safe Parking lot on their private property. This was intended as an informational community meeting to discuss the idea and get feedback from the community. While the Church had previously been in discussions with the City of Tigard, the City was not involved in the planning for the January meeting. The City and I learned about the meeting at the same time as many of you. I wasn't there as a panelist to answer questions, but to hear more about the program and community concerns. In the time since the meeting, we've been learning from other programs including those presented tonight from Beaverton and Redmond. This is the process of listening to community and continuing to work through what the right Safe Parking program would be for Tigard. We've also learned some lessons and we are working on being better communicators about everything that is going on and what next steps are. Today, is another step in the process and in communication. There are no final decisions that are being made tonight and as Kim shared, there are many future community conversations and public meetings on this issue as we continue to work through it. This is what I promise you — that we will continue community engagement and discussions on this topic. We will continue to evolve what the program looks like and ensure that there is communication about upcoming conversations and meetings. It's my hope that the city of Tigard will lead by example and start with Safe Parking on city property before looking forward on any other sites in the city. I know that when change comes to our community it's hard when there is an unknown, especially when it's in our backyards and feels like it could threaten our safety. It's our priority to keep all members of our community safe. With this discussion and these programs, I continue to go back to the goal, which is to help people transition into housing and reduce Houselessness. It's unacceptable that anyone is living in their cars and this is a step to help them work towards more permanent housing. For all of us moving forward, it continues to be a really tough and emotional topic and it's my ask that we continue to respect each other during this process and come to these meetings with the intent of seeking to understand. As an elected official and the Mayor, it's my responsibility to listen to all perspectives and help find a path forward.
