Ghoddusi City Council Ouestions.odf Ghoddusi References.odf Faraz Ghoddusi CV 2024.odf Page I 1 Describe how you would complement the diversity of thought and perspectives of the 2024 Tigard City Council. Support your responses with specific examples. (max 500 words). To complement the diversity of thought and perspectives on our City Council, I bring a blend of experience with policy at a national level, expertise in systems management and preventive medicine, and a collaborative mindset that aligns with the council's current objectives. I am a physician who has had the distinct opportunity to work with both state and federal institutions to implement healthcare policies and practices that respectfully take public concerns into account in decision-making while successfully developing outcomes. I stand behind the decisions our team made, although some were not popular with everyone{I was a Military Public Health Emergency Officer during COVID). I was able to explain and rationalize initiatives calmly in discussions, even with those who were initially vehemently against my stance. I have already had the opportunity to engage with the Tigard community as a Rotarian, our efforts of service and improving quality of life in our town, from providing local grants to various food drives to helping with our Balloon Festival (to name a few). I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to our city council and its current undertaking to address diversity and equity head-on. I have been committed to inclusivity and collaboration my entire career. While working at another academic medical center,I continued to push the importance of reducing healthcare disparities, and when inequity showed up in the current process,I provided evidence within our hospital system and worked with leadership to change practice. In conclusion, my background as a veteran of the United States Air Force,and as a first- generation American provides me with a unique perspective on ways Tigard can continue to move forward as our city continues to progress. In addition, I'm hoping my medical background can be utilized to improve well-being and encourage healthy habits throughout Tigard. Faraz Ghoddusi City Council Application 2024 Most would agree that Measures 5 and 50 (from the 1990s) are causing many unintended consequences in Oregon.From your perspective, what are the current impacts of Measures 5 and 50 on the City of Tigard and other local governments,what actions would you recommend to the state legislature to correct the problems, and what is your rationale for each recommendation? (max 750 words) These measures have had significant impacts on both Tigard and other local governments. The primary issue with Measure 5 appears to be how it imposes tax limits,which reduces local government revenue when there's other residential growth. Measure 50 sets permanent tax rates, which puts an annual 3%cap on growth. Both measures can lead to local budget constraints, which reduces revenue for local governments and school districts. This fixed rate may limit local government's ability to respond to changes in the community's needs over time,and those experiencing growth may find it difficult to adjust appropriately. We have been able to find some ways around it with things like the recently approved levies,but the more tools at the city's disposal the easier it becomes to fund infrastructure,public safety, and other community services. One of the consequences is that this can cause disparity in tax burden amongst property owners. Those that purchased a home more recently will often face higher taxes than long-term owners of similar properties. There have been multiple instances at my children's school where I've heard parents say that they should be given preference for specific positions because they have been living here for over a decade,which typically turns off newer families to the area. The reality is that this is OUR Tigard,and as a community,we need to continue to push for inclusion. In looking at possible corrections coming from the state legislature,there are multiple actions that can be taken to improve the current system. If there were an exemption for primary residence, it would help primary homeowners,incentivize making Tigard a primary residence, and increase income from those that are commoditizing the Tigard housing market. Revisiting the assessed value cap to bring it closer to market value could help reduce disparity between those who have been here for years and those that we have welcomed into our community more recently. At a state level, they could also simplify the process for approving local levies or make the process more consistent and longer lasting would help with city autonomy and ensure we have a more consistent stream of funding for essential services. Overall, the unintended consequences of Measures 5 and 50 have placed a significant burden on local governments in Oregon, including Tigard. Reevaluating and adjusting current limits and rates, implementing a more equitable assessment method for new properties would help restore local financial stability,helping leaders better serve their communities. Faraz Ghoddusi City Council Application 2024 From your perspective. what is the most important issue facing the 2024 Tigard Cite Council? Why is it the most important and how would you propose the council(and the city overall address the issue? Please be as specific as possible. (max 500 words) Time and again I've seen the issue of houselessness pop up both in council meetings and on social media, and there are proponents on both sides trying to figure out a solution to a problem that has worsened over the years across all metro suburbs. In keeping up with the pulse of the community,this remains a critical concern. The community continues to express a need for better solutions to support homeless individuals while maintaining public safety. This goes hand in hand with the city's concern about accessibility and making our downtown more walkable and increasing the visibility of our local businesses. Some of this concern comes from the underlying problem of fmding affordable housing. Although we are seeing increased construction and efforts to create affordable units, our community is having issues extending the protection of these units given their current market value. Some ways the city can address this central concern include increasing shelter capacity by expanding the number of temporary shelters and supportive housing units to help provide immediate relief. This can be done by collaborating with current non-profits and local businesses to pool resources and expertise. It will require integrated support for those needing mental health services,addiction treatment, job training, and placement services. This will require additional state and federal grants to expand the facilities and services. It may also require modified zoning regulations to allow for the development of more supportive housing units. This is a difficult issue to address on a local level and will be time intensive and require multiple iterations to get correct for our town. Addressing homelessness effectively will require a comprehensive approach that will have cascading positive effects in improving public safety, increasing housing stability,improving the public's sentiment about city government, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive community. Faraz Ghoddusi City Council Application 2024 Why are you interested in this Council position? (max 500 words) I've gone from state to state as an active-duty Air Force officer over the last decade, and Tigard has one of the most diverse city governments of all the locations I had the opportunity to live. Now that I've separated from the service,my family has settled here in Tigard and we've fallen in love with the community and decided to give back wherever we can. It's always been in my blood to serve, now I'm hoping to do so on the local level. My wife and I have been active in other aspects of community life and are eager to continue in this avenue of service. We're both members of the Rotary Clubs here in Tigard(each joining a different club) and have been working on various projects to give back to the community. We've also had an opportunity to start a non-profit, "Healthy Oregon"based here in Tigard to help with health education and resources across our state. I've thoroughly enjoyed sitting along side other Tigard residents at events and various activities, and I would love the opportunity to work with other city officials to create meaningful policies to help the citizens of Tigard and serve as a model for other communities across the state.

Support your responses with specific examples. (max 500 words) The City of Tigard is fortunate to have a council that represents a diverse set of personal and professional backgrounds,from Councilor Wolf's background serving in education,to Councilor Shaw's exceptional work in emerging mobility solutions,to Council President Hu's legal background and dedication to serving through volunteer efforts, and Mayor Lueb with the perspective she brings through her business background and recent experience as a young family in our region. For a city to grow in an inclusive way- and to be economically open to all - its leadership should reflect a similarly inclusive and diverse set of perspectives. There are three areas I hope to complement that diversity of thought on the council.The first is as a member of the labor workforce. Over the last 20 years,even while attending college, I have been consistently working across the service, retail, and tech industries. I have experienced positions ranging from entry-level customer service up to that of a junior executive, and I carry with me a passion for advancing the quality of life of Oregon's many workforces.These can be challenging economic times for all - and while I hope we continue to nurture business growth in Tigard - I believe that should ultimately be in pursuit of opportunity and wealth for the thousands that work these jobs day-in and day-out. The second notable perspective I hope to bring is that of a new family that has moved to Tigard in the last 5 years.As Tigard seeks to continue its path of growth - we should be focused on investments and developments that are attractive to those individuals or families looking to make their first-time home purchase, or those looking to grow their family in a welcoming,safe, and walkable community. I am one of those people that chose Tigard for the wonderful qualities it has to offer, and I hope to encourage more to do the same. The third quality that I hope will be beneficial to the city of Tigard in the lead-up to 2025 is through my work in the State Legislature. I currently have the honor of serving as Chief of Staff to State Representative Dacia Grayber,formerly the Representative for Tigard and currently representing SW Portland & unincorporated Washington County. In these last several years,our office has helped secure millions in funding for new infrastructure in the region, including funding for new behavioral health treatment centers in Multnomah County, new facilities for the Cascade AIDS Project,additional funding for Firefighter Apprenticeship programs, grant funding for Oregon's beloved art institutions, and we supported the Orphan Highway efforts that would see Hall Blvd jurisdictionally transferred to the City of Tigard. As the state prepares for the 2025 legislative session,when a major transportation package is being developed, I believe that I can help ensure Tigard is positioned as effectively as possible to tap into those efforts,with clearly defined needs and strong lines of communication into the legislative body. Most would agree that Measures 5 and 50 (from the 1990s) are causing many unintended consequences in Oregon. From your perspective,what are the current impacts of Measures 5 and 50 on the City of Tigard and other local governments,what actions would you recommend to the state legislature to correct the problems,and what is your rationale for each recommendation? (max 750 words) Oregon's tax base and funding sources are immensely restrictive. With no sales tax, no VAT/GST, lower-than-average DMV fees, and a Kicker fund that absorbs any potentially beneficial surplus, we are almost singularly reliant on a combination of income, property, and payroll taxes to fund any collective public work.Additionally, with Measure 5 and 50 restricting the rate at which property taxes can reflect real value of properties, local governments are especially hamstrung as their funding sources stagnate significantly more than State revenues.This puts local governments in a position of being overly-reliant on Federal grants, State grants, and local bonds or levies, all of which are not guaranteed to be successful. The most visible area this hits for local governments, including the City of Tigard, is in K-12 education.The formula for funding our schools has always been designed around sourcing primarily from local property taxes.With those funds stagnating in the formula, schools must increasingly look to the State's General Fund to stay operational, putting K-12 education directly in competition with many of the State's other critical service needs.And that's still not enough. Despite K-12 education being the single largest line-item in the state's budget every biennium,we are barely meeting Current Service Level (CSL) and it seems impossible to meet the Quality Education Model (QEM) that our children deserve. Oregon is falling woefully short in funding for our children's education, and I place that directly at the feet of Measure 5 and 50. There are three actions I recommend for the State Legislature, one is a more holistic solution but takes a herculean amount of effort, so I'll start there: (1) Many of Oregon's issues stem from items that were baked into our Constitution decades ago that have resulted in significant problems, but require a 2/3 majority vote or a Constitutional ballot measure to change.All of these are nearly impossible to address while walkouts by the minority party can halt the operations of the legislature altogether (with Measure 113 seeming to not have had a real effect on preventing that strategy).Therefore, my first suggestion is to organize a grassroots campaign movement to change the State Legislature's quorum requirements to that of a simple majority via ballot measure. Once that's done,the Legislature can recommend Constitutional amendments to the ballot measure with less resistance. From there, the legislature can re-work the Kicker to send all surplus tax revenue into the State School Fund (SSF),or put forward a transitional repeal of Measure 5 and 50 to allow property taxes to self-correct over the period of several years. (2) The most likely solution to get short-term progress is for the State Legislature to convene a bipartisan task force on adjustments to Measure 5 and 50 that makes recommendations focused on better funding for local governments.This would likely be an iterative improvement but not holistically solve the problem -though from my experience iteration toward a long-term goal is how things get done more commonly than sweeping reform. (3) A more creative solution, but potentially less likely, is to Sidestep Measure 5 and 50 by not directly increasing property tax rates or ceilings, but allowing cities and counties to add a penalty fee equivalent to the current property tax rate for each single-family home owned over 2.This will draw additional revenue sources for local governments from those with the most wealth who own multiple homes, but also incentivize people to free up housing supply for others to purchase.The downside is this likely hurts the rental market in the process, however at some point we will need to push back against the national trend to turn all residency into rentals as opposed to ownership. These are just a few suggestions for the State Legislature, but ultimately the answer to this question comes down to the will of the voters. So far,either people continue to believe in the value of limits on property tax despite the impact it has on local governments, or we have not done enough information sharing to change their minds and get voters to change their mind. From your perspective,what is the most important issue facing the 2024 Tigard City Council?Why is it the most important and how would you propose the council (and the city overall) address the issue? Please be as specific as possible. (max 500 words) To me,the most important issue facing Tigard City Council at the moment is finding ways to balance economic development with preserving and growing residential spaces. By residential spaces, I mean a combination of multi-family housing,apartments, and single-family homes alongside our wonderful green spaces and neighborhood walking/biking access. I recognize that in order to nurture the type of growth we want, we need to expand opportunities for businesses to set up shop here, and allow them to seamlessly navigate the permitting process. However, I think it is critical for us to approach that in a way that fosters collaboration with the neighborhoods where these businesses are setting up shop. We shouldn't be a NIM BY city,and for the most part I don't believe that neighbors are holistically opposed to economic development in their area, but I do believe it's critical to work in partnership with those neighbors to ensure that footprint is implemented in a way that works for as many people as possible.We want to create the type of neighborhoods that make more people want to move here, and doesn't sacrifice what makes our residential areas great,while partnering with businesses to enhance those neighborhoods rather than burden them. I would propose that the Council,as part of the permitting process and as part of economic development, directly requests that businesses do outreach to neighborhoods to get their feedback and input on what they're hoping for from businesses in their area. I also suggest being more aggressive about frontage improvements as part of new businesses setting up shop to ensure that overall our neighborhoods are improving as businesses arrive. Why are you interested in this Council position? (max 500 words) I believe that this Council vacancy ultimately represents a transition ahead of Tigard's new charter going into effect,when the city can expect several changes including two new seats on the Council. We are at a point of change -and it's important that the Council is fully operational to drive toward that moment. This particular role is not long-term, it is also unelected by the public,and therefore ultimately it is about service to the continuance of government. It is about those who believe in helping Tigard finish this year strong and head into its next phase of government with passion and energy and a belief that we are on the right track. I strongly believe in that vision. I believe that in the few months of service this role provides, I can be a champion for new families,the working class, and Tigard's vision of mobility and prosperity in the years to come. Ultimately I want to see the people of Tigard succeed, and I want to foster a city framework that nurtures that success. If I can provide that through insight into the state legislative process- I will do so. If I can provide that through participation in discussion and debate for the final votes of the year - I will do so. In service to my community- I want to help steward Tigard through 2024 and into its new era. Thank you for your consideration,your time, and your service. Barrett Johnson References 1.

Support your responses with specific examples. (max 500 words) Many of us are born into the cities and neighborhoods we call Home. Having immigrated to the United States to pursue my college education, Tigard is now my home through careful deliberation and by choice. As my chosen home for my family, which now includes a three month old baby, it is more important than ever to me that Tigard continue to be a friendly, supportive and safe city. I believe I bring a unique blend of lived experience, education, and professional perspective to the City Council to guide us in this direction. I was born and brought up in India and empathize with the challenges facing immigrants within our community. Moving to a new neighborhood, city, country, can be challenging and a profoundly isolating experience and cities bear some responsibility in creating supportive communities where residents can meaningfully connect. Throughout my time living in the U.S. I have sought to educate communities and create space for people to come together and celebrate our common humanity. For instance, I teach a weekly donation based yoga class at the Tigard Senior Center, aiming to create connections for a population group (Seniors) that also struggles with isolation and loneliness. Having my own experiences as an immigrant enables me to be empathetic to those who might be struggling with similar challenges. My career has largely been in the Software/Technology space where I have often been one of few women in leadership positions, if not the singular woman. I have sought to create pathways for hiring a more diverse workforce, have mentored other women, and have developed my direct reports to help promote them into higher level roles within the organization. I am a graduate in Business Administration and Women's Studies, which enables me to read and digest research, think critically, and make a case for a more inclusive community. Through my Council position I will seek to create pipelines of diverse leaders with varied perspectives. During the pandemic I became more involved in finding ways to support our community. I served a term on the Tigard Water Advisory Board (WAB). Additionally, I saw many individuals and families struggle with mental health, houselessness, and a cost of living crisis. I worked with Family Promise to help buy groceries for struggling families and play with children temporarily housed in a local Tigard church. Eventually I started to volunteer at a homeless shelter in Portland and worked directly with individuals struggling to find shelter. Engaging with community members who needed support, one at a time, helping them find what they were looking for(socks, tooth brushes, bathrooms Neha Neelwarne City of Tigard- City Council Application Questions etc), gives me a rich understanding of the needs of the unhoused. As a Council member I will aim to bring compassionate ideas to the table while balancing the needs of community safety. Government officials have a unique opportunity to synthesize their own lived experiences, community feedback, and research to make decisions which have a real impact in their constituents' lives. I believe my personal and professional experiences provide me the foundation needed to work together with the rest of the Council to make positive change. Most would agree that Measures 5 and 50 (from the 1990s) are causing many unintended consequences in Oregon. From your perspective, what are the current impacts of Measures 5 and 50 on the City of Tigard and other local governments, what actions would you recommend to the state legislature to correct the problems, and what is your rationale for each recommendation? (max 750 words) Measures 5 and 50 impose constraints on property taxes in Oregon and restrict the budgets of local governments. While the measures protect property owners from taxation, they severely constrain city budgets, impacting the quality of service cities are able to provide in terms of infrastructure projects. Further, the revenue constraints impact school budgets, affecting the quality of education provided to communities, particularly those who rely on the public education system. The most obvious recommendation would be for the state legislature to revise the property tax limitations. This could be done through revising the calculations based on inflation rate and change in population so that revenues keep up with the costs associated with services. In order to make sufficient funds available for critical services such as education and infrastructure, exemptions could be made. For example - education and infrastructure funds would not be subject to the same limitations on property tax that other services incur and would instead be allocated more funds. While this could generate higher revenue, it might run into objections from property owners who do not want to see higher taxes, especially those who are locked in to lower taxation due to owning property for a longer period of time. Therefore, any changes recommended to Measures 5 and 50 would need to go through a robust public review process, and any implementation be phased over time to ensure there is sufficient communication and opportunities to minimize unintended consequences. Neha Neelwarne City of Tigard- City Council Application Questions In the absence of changes to the Measures and 50, local governments could raise funds for crucial initiatives through local option levies, similar to the Public Safety Levy the City of Tigard just passed. This would fund specific initiatives where budgets fall short. Further, levies would provide opportunities for communication and transparency with voters as they need voter support in order to pass. • • .e .e A is i li • im• • ,i., I ', • h- .� _,�- r•- Q Council? Why is it the most important and how would you propose the council (and the city overall) address the issue? Please be as specific as possible. (max 500 words) I believe the most important issue facing the 2024 Tigard City Council is the issue of homelessness, because of the ways in which so many other issues are intertwined with this topic- housing shortages, cost of living, opioid crisis, mental health crisis, to name a few. Further, this suffering is not isolated to those experiencing homelessness but also impacts the community at large in terms of public safety and the local economy. As the issue is multi-pronged, the solution to address it must be multi-pronged as well. e Creation of additional housing supply. As Oregon is set to lose thousands of affordable housing due to federal tax credits expiring, many families will lose low income housing as they see their rents rise. This will exacerbate the housing crisis. Governments need to get involved in creating sustainable solutions -which I believe includes buying these existing apartments. Washington County has already done so with Woodspring apartments - instead of pumping money into creating brand new supply - I believe the better option is buy existing properties which are already in use currently as low income housing. Creation of shelters. The City of Tigard is setting an example through the Safe Parking program as well as allowing encampments on city property. However, I don't believe these are sustainable long term solutions. We need a true shelter- a place where an unhoused individual can stay the night - with the space being managed by trained professionals. The Portland Metro has put in a lot of resources into housing solutions, as they should. However, there is a lack of shelters for overnight stays. The needs of an individual who is living on the streets with mental health issues or a drug problem (or both), and the needs of someone who is in between jobs, looking for longer term housing, are very different. Both needs need to be met in a compassionate manner. A shelter creates a safer place to stay for those who are now in encampments. Support for mental health, including options for drug recovery. The levy passed by residents for law enforcement resources is needed, but by their own statistics does not do enough. The previous Police Chief Kathy McAlpine shared crime Neha Neelwarne City of Tigard- City Council Application Questions statistics, stating that mental health resources are required, and more resources are needed in general. However, the levy renewal was to carry forward the same amount residents have already been giving. As a resident this is an unsatisfactory solution because the levy doesn't seem to solve the issue of providing adequate resources to help individuals going through a mental health crisis. We need to calculate how many resources we would truly need to support our communities given the current trends, and explore adding some resources, sharing resources with surrounding cities, contracting short term help, etc. Supporting unhoused individuals through city programs brings them into the system and supports data collection and statistics, which can then be used in reporting back to residents about the progress made, pivots needed and the constant management of support provided. As . . - - . 'y x" • i ". H . t} , . I am an Indian woman married to a Mexican man, we have a three month old American baby girl, and we have chosen to make Tigard our home. I have felt seen and cherished in this city and have grown to love this community. I would like to do my part in using my skills and knowledge to create a thriving space for my baby to be a part of and one day contribute to. My experiences in business, on a City Board (Water Advisory Board), and volunteerism enable me to have interconnected ideas that span the public and private sector with a focus on impact. I'm interested in the Council position as I think local government is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact and influence the everyday lives of neighbors. I think I represent a blend of personal and professional experiences that is the future and I'm keen to do my part.

Page 3 Jake Schlack Tigard City Council Supplemental Questions Describe how you would complement the diversity of thought and perspectives of the 2024 Tigard City Council. Support your responses with specific examples. As a Tigard City Councilor,l would compliment the diversity of thought on the Tigard City Council by bringing the following perspectives to City Hall: 1. Gen Z:If appointed,I will be the first Tigard City Councilor from Gen Z.The tumultuous experiences of my generation have shaped my viewpoints and concerns: affordable housing, cost of living,social equity,and the civic engagement of young people.I want to champion these causes so that people of all ages can settle down and grow their roots in Tigard with pride.My appointment to the Tigard City Council would give the next generation a seat at the table in key policy decisions for our community Z. Renter:My partner and I have been renters for several years and are striving to buy our first house together.I understand the impacts of rising rents,rent stabilization measures, no-cause terminations,and tenant-landlord relationships on communities because they have impacted my household.Renters comprise a sizable percentage of Tigard residents, so their perspectives should be voiced in Council discussions in addition to the homeowners who comprise the current membership of the Tigard City Council. 3. LGBTQIA+Community Member:If appointed,I would bring my lived experience as a member of the LGBTQIA+community to City Hall.I understand the importance of protecting civil liberties at the local level and fostering strong community relationships with historically underserved communities like the LGBTQIA+community.As a Tigard City Councilor,I would work to advance these causes so that Tigard is a welcoming community for all residents. 4. Union Household: My partner is a proud member of the Oregon Nurses Association.His experiences have taught me the importance of unions for ensuring fair wages and safe workplace conditions for employees.As a Tigard City Councilor,I would bring this perspective to conversations that impact city employees and local enterprises. 5. Local Government Experience: If appointed,I would bring my experience from the Tigard Budget Committee and Tigard Water District to this role.While prior government experience is not a prerequisite,my work for these entities has taught me how municipal governments,their governing bodies,and their budgets actually work.This would increase my efficacy in bringing about change as a City Councilor and assessing the feasibility of proposed policies before the Tigard City Council. 6. Data Analyst:At heart,I am a numbers nerd who loves to learn.This is reflected in my career background as a data analyst.My career has given me experience analyzing data, making complex decisions,and communicating effectively in stressful situations to various stakeholders.It also has taught me how to ask questions,research potentially dry topics, and seek different perspectives from my own.In my opinion,these are make-or-break skills for elected officials who want to be effective in office. Page 4 Jake Schlack Tigard City Council Most would agree that Measures 5 and 50 (from the 1990s) are causing many unintended consequences in Oregon. From your perspective, what are the current impacts of Measures 5 and 50 on the City of Tigard and other local governments, what actions would you recommend to the state legislature to correct the problems, and what is your rationale for each recommendation? Back in the 2010s,the television show Portlandia had a song with the following lyric: "The dream of the'90s is alive in Portland".While that song was intended as satire,there is at least one dream from the'90s that is still alive across Oregon: 1990s property tax policy. The"Oregon Tax Revolt"was part of a larger anti-tax impulse across the Western United States during the late 20th Century.In Oregon,this impulse came to a head in the 1990s when voters passed two constitutional amendments to restrict property taxes: c Measure 5 (1990): o Limits property tax levies to: ■ $5 per$1,000 of real market value for educational services;and, ■ $10 per$1,000 of real market value for other governments. • Measure 50(1997): o Establishes permanent tax rates for taxing jurisdictions. ✓ These rates are frozen at 1997 rates and cannot be increased. o Introduces"assessed value"as the basis for property tax calculations. s For existing properties,initial assessed values equaled 90%of a property's real market value from 1995-1996. ▪ For new properties,initial assessed values equal the ratio of real market value to the assessed value of similar properties. o Annual growth of assessed values is limited to 3%. While I generally support the idea of property tax limitations so that property owners have stable tax bills,I also believe that Measures 5 and 50 have created an inefficient tax system that leaves local governments hamstrung when financing various services.Key problems include: e Compression:If the property taxes on a property exceed the limits of Measure 5,revenues are"compressed"to comply with these constitutional limits.This results in lost revenue for local governments that cannot be recouped. e Inflation: Government expenditures are subject to inflationary pressures.In recent years, annual inflation well exceeded 3%.This meant that government expenditures increased when providing the same services to residents as the previous year,while property tax revenues only increased by 3%.These different growth rates squeeze local government budgets,as has been regularly discussed at Tigard Budget Committee meetings. • Inequity:Since assessed values are pegged to 1995-1996 values,property taxes are divorced from market changes to real market values.For example: o Two properties with the same real market value in 2024 may have wildly different tax bills because of differences in their real market values from 1995-1996. Page 5 Jake Schlack Tigard City Council o Properties that have appreciated in value at a faster rate since 1995-1996 pay a lower property tax rate as a percentage of real market value than properties that appreciated at a slower rate. o New properties may pay markedly different property tax rates than neighboring properties because of market dynamics and the Measure 50 assessment formula. o Commercial and residential properties are taxed at the same rates,despite commercial properties having higher real market values and generating profits. As a Tigard City Councilor,I would have no more power to bring about change in this matter than I already do as a private citizen: I could lobby the State Legislature or campaign for citizen-initiated ballot measures to alter these constitutional provisions.That said,there are some clear ways that Oregon's ramshackle property tax system could be made more efficient and equitable. iTht t ; et •':i ;'r; } e rt)'Iri'9 < +t.t€?tC,'= r c,'•a.,.ir`c4 tWL" rti~. ."

While there are positives and negatives to the proposals above,I am confident that these reforms would correct the unintended consequences on local governments that Measures 5 and 50 caused. Page 6 Jake Schlack Tigard City Council From your perspective, what is the most important issue facing the 2024 Tigard City Council? Why is it the most important and how would you propose the council (and the city overall) address the issue?Please be as specific as possible. The most important issue facing the 2024 Tigard City Council,as well as most of the Portland Metro Region,is affordable housing.This is an issue in which I have a personal interest as a renter who is striving to buy a house with my partner, Affordable housing is the cornerstone of the American Dream.It is the key to wealth generation and retiring with dignity.It allows for the growth of thriving communities where residents feel rooted and safe.Yet,in my opinion,many in our community are being priced out of the American Dream: • Tigard's"Community Survey 2023"reported that only 26%of residents found the availability of affordable quality housing to be"good"or"excellent"; • Tigard's own website acknowledges that Tigard is a"severely rent burdened"city because 28%of renter households spend more than 50%of their income on rent; • The average rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in Tigard is$1,695,which means a minimum wage worker within the Urban Growth Boundary would have to work well over 40 hours per week to not be"rent burdened"; • As reported by OPB,Oregon is at risk of losing roughly 4,189 units of affordable housing from the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit by 2030,of which three-quarters are in Washington,Multnomah,and Clackamas countiesi;and, • Over 50%of applicants for Tigard's social services grant program for FY 2025 were focused on providing support services for affordable housing and houselessness. This is a problem that affects young people who are trying to get started in life,families who are raising kids,seniors on fixed incomes,and many others.Affordable housing is not just an economic problem;it is a moral challenge with profound impacts on our society The problem of affordable housing will not be solved overnight.But there are steps that the City of Tigard can take to make progress on this issue,some of which it has already started: 1. Partner with affordable housing developers to meet their infrastructure,permitting,and cost needs to build affordable housing in Tigard. 2. Collaborate with federal,state,and regional governments to obtain funding and resources for affordable housing projects and rent assistance programs(including those offered by Metro's Supportive Housing Services fund). 3. Enable local nonprofits to provide targeted support to Tigard residents who are at risk of losing their housing or seeking placement in housing. 4. Review Tigard's zoning rules to eliminate restrictions that may prevent broader housing options and segregate housing by race and class. As a Tigard City Councilor,I would pursue these steps so that Tigard remains an affordable community for individuals and families to reside.

I want to serve on the Tigard City Council because I want to bring new perspectives to City Hall and ensure that Tigard remains a dynamic,attractive place to live. For the last four years,I have lived in Tigard with my partner,Erik.Tigard has become our home. This is where we want to buy a house,raise a family,and put down roots.I am committed to supporting my community to ensure it is a great home for my family and my neighbors'families.So I got involved with our local government to be a contributor to the Tigard community. For the last two years,I have served as Chair of the Tigard Budget Committee.The city budget is the ultimate policy document for the community and proves what the values of the community actually are.As Chair,I sought to balance the priorities of letting everyone's voice be heard while driving the committee to make clear decisions.I guided the committee through tough discussions about how to best improve government accessibility and promote equity in community outreach.I helped develop and launch new grant program guidelines so taxpayer dollars are spent on programs that best meet the needs of our community.This experience has taught me about the hard work it takes for elected officials,city staff,and dedicated volunteers to make Tigard our home.It gave me insight into how one leads change in local government and reinforced my passion for investing in my community. Now,I am seeking the opportunity to take my civic engagement to the next level by serving on the Tigard City Council,The Tigard City Council should appoint someone who is dedicated to the hard work of public service and has the ability to make a positive impact on their community over the next six months.I respectfully suggest that I am that person. This vacancy is an opportunity for a new voice to be added to City Hall.If appointed,I will bring to the table my lived experience as part of Gen Z,a member of the LGBTQIA+community,and a renter from a union household.My knack for numbers and previous local government experience position me well to quickly get up to speed on Council business and make a meaningful impact over the next six months. As a City Councilor,I want to make sure young people find Tigard a welcoming place to settle and raise their children.I want to listen to and learn from the community so that equitable solutions can be implemented to address issues in our community.Whether it is prioritizing affordable housing options,promoting local businesses,or educating residents on city programs,I will show up and give it my all.I am ready to dedicate myself to ensuring that Tigard thrives now and for future generations.That is why I am seeking appointment to the Tigard City Council.

As an appointed member, I would take time to meet and hold more forums. 6 If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city any way you wanted,what would you do with it and why? (Youth Councilor Vogel) I don't know if a $1M grant is a big grant.... Truly believe we need to do more for unhoused—shelters. There are programs that need that help. We need to look at the overnight, low barrier housing. Basic needs for a human being and shelter is high up there. 7. On City Council we deal with many issues. How would you ensure all community member's issues are acknowledged or addressed? How would you ensure we are hearing from as many people impacted by the decision as possible? (Council President Hu) Breakdown who is all impacted by it; how can I reach them to get there input. It's tough that I might be gathering feedback. - Look at who all is impacted;who has raised concerns in the past. Activity engage voice herat. 8. What do you know about Tigard's work on Reducing Houselessness? Do you see any additional approaches the Council should be considering or anything we're doing that isn't working? (Councilor Wolf) - Remains to be seen the impact of programs already created—like safe parking. Definitely a need for expanding shelters. - What I would like to see is the measurement—how are we doing. How are we doing and what is the impact of the investment. 3 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Neha Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 9.

Intake process could find an interpreter. Didn't get epiural although wanted it. Anesthesiologist didn't really engage with language. Didn't say you did it wrong, but this is how we are doing it and it is best practice. 3. What is your opinion on higher-density housing being built in Tigard? How is your opinion impacted by HB2001?

If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city any way you wanted,what would you do with it and why? (Youth Councilor Vogel) Metro is#2 in getting care, but that means others across Oregon need greater care. Healthcare focus. 7. On City Council we deal with many issues. How would you ensure all community member's issues are acknowledged or addressed? How would you ensure we are hearing from as many people impacted by the decision as possible? (Council President Hu) Very Difficult Example: Tried to get surveys during COVID;tried to use Facebook that is a subset. Pick a particular time is a subset.

Do you see any additional approaches the Council should be considering or anything we're doing that isn't working? (Councilor Wolf) Live next to Christ the Church. A lot of misinformation out there about programs being proposed. Small group that is. Make sure everyone is appropriately informed about what is going on. Safe Lots do help a certain group. Some of the bigger things we need to do—pool our resources and work together. 3 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Faraz Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 9.

Do you believe the Community Promise is an effective way to achieve Tigard's vision and implement our goals? (Youth Councilor Vogel) I think the community Promise is to be embraced. Great lens to steer a lot of policy. I will say government is a human endeavor. We don't automatically do things perfectly as much as we try. How accountable are we to holding up the Community Promise. I see a lot of projects come through Tigard that uphold those promises. The city is building more resilient projects. I've seen some examples where it's been layered on after the fact. We have to hold ourselves accountable. 2. Describe how you would approach advocating for a policy, position or program that you feel strongly about to your potential future council colleagues? Provide either an example from your past experience or an example of something you might advocate for in this council position. (Council President Hu) Advocating for a specific position can be approached a lot of different ways 1) Communication 2) Willingness to do my homework and steer advocacy to consensus building Starting in private setting and had a conversation with them. Hopefully built consensus and if we didn't, I'll go away and try to build from that. 3) Continue to have conversations with council members and can we get there. Start bringing that into a more public arena and gather input. 4) Bring in multiple perspectives—still not getting there, do we organize bigger circles of consensus EXAMPLE: HB4081—EMS Bill. The problem was past architects felt strongly about how the bill was designed and would pass on its own merits. Barrett took a different tact and talked to anyone that touches EMS. Who is not on my list that we're not talking to. Took on more and more meetings about what we didn't know and built more trust. Those that had huge issue could find areas they could get behind. 1 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Barrett Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 3. What is your opinion on higher-density housing being built in Tigard? How is your opinion impacted by HB2001? (Councilor Wolf) - Applaud rates at which Tigard has adopted Middle Housing (TRT2.0) I believe in the vision of higher density and infill building. Equity/Environment/Climate Justice—close to services and transit. Forces an approach that leans more towards affordable housing. - What we have learned is multiple approaches to solving housing. (Great understanding about HB 2001—2019 and 2023 how to expand and high density) - —SB1537—provided unilateral expansion in has to be a balance between urban expansion and high density over expansion.(climate) 4. Can you provide a specific example that illustrates your commitment to accountability in tracking and evaluating the effectiveness of decisions or policies you've contributed to? How did this example enhance trust and accountability within the organization or community that was impacted by these decisions or policies? (Councilor Shaw) Data measurement Accountability measurement What are our tools for measurement. How are we making long-term projections to historical data. Ultimately accountable for a decision that doesn't go right. Choice we made didn't have a good outcome so let's look as to why. What really matters is whether you are gaining trust within your team.(reference past career -$25M marking budget. All bills at state—reporting requirements a year from now, how are things going.Can't assume people will volunteer how things are going. Goes a long way Continue to work on that with the upcoming legislative session 2 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Barrett Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 5.

(didn't respond—directly to full session until Mayor brought up). Based on the schedule I've seen for city it is very possible to get back for committee and council meetings. I've been able to participate in TCAC. 6. If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city any way you wanted,what would you do with it and why? (Youth Councilor Vogel) - Emicro mobility. Great option for last mile; local parts and apartments. Transportation model. Need to understand around transit. Public and private partnerships. Using the bus and dreading that final walk home. - A little biased because of work at state level 7. On City Council we deal with many issues. How would you ensure all community member's issues are acknowledged or addressed? How would you ensure we are hearing from as many people impacted by the decision as possible? (Council President Hu) - Being part of any group/council. Starts from place of respect, listening and trust. "This is important to me" and we should say. Find the heart of—you ask the questions and you find interest in what they are talking about. - Have to be an active member—social media,active community events, accessible by email. - Have to partner with city to connect with those who don't particularly use tools that are common approaches.

What do you know about Tigard's work on Reducing Houselessness? Do you see any additional approaches the Council should be considering or anything we're doing that isn't working? (Councilor Wolf) - Reached out to Steve,Jamey and Judge Emily. This is a state issue. A lot funding coming from the state,goals building housing. A lot of affordable housing going up. - Motel purchase (Bridge to Home) - Emergency Shelter(Just Compassion) - Exclusive High Barrier to Low Barrier What will it take to "get caught up" on housing—experts measuring in trillions. What isn't working—something I'd like to see more of, recent ice storm revealed a lot of gaps in emergency shelters. Flexibility in shelters for weather events.Work with emergency management teams, local business and property owners. Marking a lot more spaces for them. 4 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Barrett Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 9.

What other strategies,initiatives and/or programs do you propose to foster sustainable economic development in our City,ensuring equitable growth and prosperity for all community members?(Councilor Shaw) Economic Programs—Launch pods. Moved to Tigard very intentionally here and put down roots. I chose what the city is doing and offering. Place value on transportation and climate goals and I love where we can still take Tigard. HOPE we are trying to nurture that community. What people love is food and beverage gardens. I believe launch pod is a great start up for that. Make that way more accessible—think it's a wonderful pipeline. See the growth and city nurturing businesses like this. Also met with Megan—we do such a good job nurturing new businesses. This is a great place for new businesses and high quality jobs. City should look at certification for positions—employers. A lot of reasons to move here. 10. Do you have questions of us?(Mayor Lueb) 1) I believe Tigard relationship with legislature should be really strong. Be another person in the building who is championing needs of Tigard 2) Tigard is very blessed to have tremendous candidates—want to say thank you for the process Additional Comments: 5 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Jake Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 9.

(Mayor Lueb) Yes, and fully participating - I recognize that this is going to be a lot of hard work. - Couple of steps I've already taken to ensure I could participate,spoke to spouse—yes go for it! - Understand that I will have to give up these events,such as Water Board that meets on Tuesdays If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city any way you wanted,what would you do with it and why? (Youth Councilor Vogel) - Set money aside for the grant program. Best way to work with these dollars and work with our community organizations—multiyear program 7.

How would you ensure we are hearing from as many people impacted by the decision as possible?

Do you see any additional approaches the Council should be considering or anything we're doing that isn't working? (Councilor Wolf) - I think of it as a world challenge. Across west coast and across county - Address with empathy and set balances: houselessness liaison with WA County, Liaison and Safe Lot on July 10th. I think the city is doing a lot on this matter - Safe Village pod requests;appreciated the conversation and agreed that particular lot wasn't the solution 3 Tigard City Council Vacancy Applicant Interviews—June 25, 2024 Applicant:Jake Interviewer:Wolf These forms are a public record and must be submitted to the City Recorder after the interviews. 3. What is your opinion on higher-density housing being built in Tigard? How is your opinion impacted by HB2001? (Councilor Wolf) I support higher density and 2001. (restated what HB2001). I am a renter—it's really tough for people to get into the market and build equity. We have to increase housing supply. Can't keep building the same house and end up with urban sprawl. Alternative is high density housing.Gave example RT2.0. Good balance with walkable parks. Example of how higher density can be well. 4.

Tigard Water District—Budget process. Saw the reserve policy, but the action wasn't taken. Then I needed to recognize my role and responsibilities since I was a contractor. Recognized that elected officials were volunteers and needed to explain. Prepared a memo and cited resources,30 minutes presentations—TWO Options.
