November 5, 2024 ballot.
ACTION REQUESTED
This is a "Receive and File" item and will be voted on as part of the Consent Agenda.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Tigard had five council positions on the ballot in the November 5, 2024 General Election.
These included two additional councilor positions added when the new City Charter was passed iby
the voters in May 2024.
To balance future term expiration dates, one of the new positions (this election only) is for a two-year
term. The other two-year seat is to fill the remaining half of a term made vacant by the resignation of
Jai Raj Singh. Faraz Ghoddusi and Heather Robbins were elected to the two-year terms.
There were three positions open for 4-year terms. One is a new position and two were due to terms
expiring at the end of 2024. Maureen Wolf, Jeanette Shaw and Jake Schlack were elected to four-year
terms.
Attached are the official election results certified by the Washington County Elections Division
Manager Dan Forester.

Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
The purpose of this action is to approve a contract for McDonald Street Engineering Services.
ACTION REQUESTED
It is recommended that the Local Contract Review Board award the McDonald Street Engineering
Services contract to Kittelson & Associates, Inc. in the amount of$1,559,099 and direct the City
Manager to take the steps necessary to execute the contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
McDonald Street is a busy arterial that provides a key west-east link in the transportation network.
The facility lacks pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure along the roadway as well as limited safe
crosswalk locations. Drivers must wait in busy travel lanes to find gaps to make a left turn off
McDonald Street, and the intersection with Hall Boulevard needs optimization improvements. This
project has been a priority to address multi-model and safety needs for many years. Water system
transmission lines are also aging and not built to current standards.
This project will study McDonald Street from Pacific Highway to Hall Boulevard to increase safety and
improve traffic operations. The alternatives analysis will be based on a matrix of measures, including
but not limited to: connectivity, safety, traffic operations, right-of-way impacts, cost, and
environmental impacts. The conceptual design will promote the complete street design concept and
look at options to create safe, continuous bicycle and pedestrian routes. The options will include but
are not limited to: the addition of sidewalks, bike lanes, protected/separated bike lanes, multi-use
paths, and crossing improvements. The conceptual design needs to include storm water
improvements, replacement of three deteriorating major waterlines, and undergrounding of
overhead utilities for as much of the corridor as feasible within the project budget. The study will
assess options for intersection improvements at the SW Hall Boulevard/SW McDonald Street
intersection, such as the addition of turn lanes, traffic signal upgrades, protected intersection, or
roundabout.
In accordance with ORS 279C.110 the Qualifications Based RFP process is used when seeking
architectural and engineering services for public construction projects. The cost of work is not
considered when making the initial selection. Pricing is requested only from the most qualified
proposers as determined by the QBS RFP criteria.
The City issued a Qualifications Based Request for Proposals (QBS RFP) for the project on September
16, 2024, with notice published in the Daily Journal of Commerce. Upon closing, the city received six
(6) proposals from the following firms, with proposal score out of a possible 315 point:
•Toole Design Group, LLC- 218
• Kittelson &Associates, Inc. - 228
• DOWL- 197
• PBS Engineering & Environmental LLC- 222
• KPFF, Inc. —212
• Harper Houf Peterson Righellis Inc. - 217
A selection committee of three teammates from Engineering and Community Development scored the
proposals based on the following criteria, as outlined in the QBS RFP:
• Firm Qualifications and Project Team (up to 35 points per evaluator)
• Project Understanding and Approach (up to 25 points per evaluator)
• Project Management (up to 25 points per evaluator)
Upon review, the selection committee found Kittelson &Associates, Inc. and PBS Engineering &
Environmental LLC to be the top two scoring firms, with the top scores in all evaluation criteria
categories. These two firms were asked to provide cost proposals, with a possible 45 additional points
available (up to 15 points per evaluator). The cost proposal scores are as follows:
• Kittelson &Associates, Inc. -42
• PBS Engineering & Environmental LLC - 39
Kittelson &Associates, Inc. received the highest score for both their proposal and cost proposal.
Accordingly, Kittelson &Associates, Inc. received the selection committee's recommendation for
contract award.
In accordance with ORS 279 and Tigard Public Contracting Rule 70.016(6)(5), the City issued a Notice
of Intent to Award and entered into negotiations with Kittelson & Associates, Inc. The City and
Kittelson &Associates, Inc. were able to reach an agreed upon scope and price. The total cost of the
contract is $1,559,099.00.
ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION
The Local Contract Review Board may reject this contract award recommendation and direct staff to
resolicit for the work.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $1,559,099
Budgeted (yes or no): Yes
Where budgeted?: CIP#95074— McDonald Street
Additional Fiscal Notes:
CIP 95074 is funded by several sources, including Transportation Development Tax, Underground Utility,
Transportation System Development Charges, and the Water Fund. The contract is within the total
design and engineering budget in the FY 2025 CIP and does not represent any change to the overall
project budget. The cost of the proposed contract would be incurred in FY 2025 and FY 2026.

Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
The City of Tigard has partnered with Envirolssues, a minority- and woman-owned firm, to lead the
Equitable Engagement Project. This initiative aims to evaluate the city's current external engagement
efforts through an equity-focused perspective, identifying barriers and opportunities to enhance
participation for underrepresented communities in city governance. Christine Moses and Laura Pena
from Envirolssues are spearheading the project and will be providing updates on their progress.
ACTION REQUESTED
Receive an update on the Equitable Engagement project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 2023, the City Council approved the formation of an ad hoc committee to explore the concept of a
Community Navigator position, as previously recommended by the Public Safety Advisory Board
(PSAB). The committee's purpose was to evaluate the feasibility and scope of such a position while
identifying ways to improve government accessibility. After four meetings, the committee issued the
following recommendation: "Fund an external consultant to review Tigard's current external
engagement and outreach efforts using an equity lens and provide recommendations for a path
forward."
To implement this recommendation, the City of Tigard partnered with Envirolssues, a firm specializing
in equity-driven community engagement. Envirolssues is conducting a thorough review of the City's
outreach and engagement efforts, facilitating stakeholder discussions, and hosting workshops to
capture diverse perspectives. Their work aims to uncover barriers and opportunities within Tigard's
communication strategies. The outcome will be a comprehensive report with actionable
recommendations for creating equitable engagement practices, ensuring all residents—particularly
those from underrepresented groups—can access City services and participate in decision-making
processes.

design of citywide community engagement programs.
The purpose of this agenda item is for the committee members to present their annual report. The
annual report, as listed in Section 11 of the CCE bylaws, includes a summary of key activities from the
past year, any highlights, or recommendations to the Council. This report has traditionally been

the form of the attached presentation.
ACTION REQUESTED
City Council is asked to receive an annual report on Committee for Community Engagement activities

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Committee for Community Engagement (CCE) is responsible for reviewing, offering feedback, and
making recommendations on specific plans or projects that involve community input, educational
outreach, and information sharing. CCE's mission is to foster active, two-way communication between
community members and elected officials, encouraging broad participation from diverse populations.
By promoting shared responsibility and ownership, CCE aims to leverage collective knowledge, skills,
and experience to enhance the Tigard community and advance the city's strategic vision.

Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
Briefing to Council on an upcoming development code amendment package related to food carts and
food cart pods.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Community Development team requests Council feedback and direction on a draft development
code framework for food cart regulations.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Since the adoption of the Tigard MADE development code amendments in April of 2024, the
Community Development team has been closely tracking the implementation of the code to identify
any issues that would require further amendments. One major issue that has been identified is the
lack of standards and procedures to allow food cart pods.
Prior to the MADE code updates, the city did not have food cart specific regulations, and therefore
could only approve food carts as an accessory use, using existing development code standards and
policies. This approach did not provide a vested approval for these carts and did not allow food cart
pods as a standalone use.
The MADE code was intended to address these issues by providing regulations for food carts and food
cart pods. However, as adopted, the code only allows food carts as an accessory use similar to the
previous policy, and did not provide a means to approve larger food cart pods. Since the time of
adoption, the city has seen an interest in food cart pods as a standalone use. In order to
accommodate these uses, the development code will need to be amended.
The Community Development team has been working to draft regulations that provide a pathway to
approval while ensuring that food carts and food cart pods are operated in a safe way that is
compatible with surrounding uses. The team has been coordinating with our teammates in Public
Works, the Tigard Chamber of Commerce, and prospective food cart pod proprietors to develop these
regulations.
This presentation will provide an overview of the current regulatory framework for Council feedback
prior to upcoming hearings before the Planning Commission and Council.

December 10, 2024 - City Council Meeting
Agenda Item No. 5B. - MCDONALD STREET ENGINEERING SERVICES
Q: (Councilor Wolf) Appreciate the breakdown of scoring and the follow-up with cost request. I
look forward to the new software capital budget tool so we can review the accounts directly
from AIS. Also, does Kittelson offer greater experience or a different approach that ranks them
the highest?
A: (Contracts and Purchasing Manager McGown) Kittelson scored the highest among the consultant
proposals due to their expertise and breadth of knowledge in traffic analysis and safety tasks. For
example,the Kittelson team has developed relevant national guides such as NCHRP(National
Cooperative Highway Research Program) Research Report 1036: Roadway Cross Sections Reallocation,
NCHRP 1043: Roundabout Guide and NCHRP Research Report 926: Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety at
Intersections. This in-depth knowledge will be integral in successfully handling this challenging
roadway improvement project, especially related to context-sensitive solutions and effective traffic
calming measures.Additionally, Kittelson demonstrated a thorough project understanding and
approach,with identification of corridor specific challenges, best approach,and relevant similar
experience.
Agenda Item No. 7. — UPDATE ON THE EQUITABLE ENGAGEMENT
PROJECT
Q: (Councilor Wolf) Envirolssues- Do they have examples that support these comments below? For
example, what were the specific examples that our consultants heard when listening/interviewing
community members?Should we (the city) be listening to the examples or stories of our community
members better than we are?
Deepen and build long-term relationships
• Go to where communities are to learn and understand, not with an agenda
• Listen deeply and then follow up
• Recognizing a face makes it easier to connect
• Engage in storytelling
• Focus on priority needs; make data driven decisions
A: (Enviroissues,the equitable engagement consultant)
Deepening and Building Long-Term Relationships
December 10, 2024 — City of Tigard — City Council
Meeting
One inspiring example of fostering long-term relationships was Mayor Lueb's participation in the
Housing Justice Forum at St.Anthony's in November.The event,organized by the community,
provided a platform for individuals to share deeply personal stories about housing insecurity. Mayor
Lueb navigated these challenging conversations with vulnerability, humanity, and grace, leaving a
lasting impression on attendees. Many participants shared afterward that they hadn't known who the
Mayor was before the event but found the experience of meeting her and other City representatives
both meaningful and affirming.The City's attendance demonstrated genuine care and a willingness to
support the community's efforts,reinforcing the importance of showing up for community-led
initiatives.
Building Trust and Understanding of the City's Role and Resources
A community member shared their experience attending the Tigard Police Department's Community
Academy,which they found informative and valuable in making the department feel more
approachable. However,their participation wasn't without challenges—they had to overcome
personal reservations and were the only person of color in the group. Additionally,some members of
their community expressed skepticism about their involvement,viewing it as aligning with a system
they distrusted.This highlights the need for the City to meet communities where they are, particularly
in environments that feel safe and welcoming,to address distrust and build meaningful connections
outside of formal City programs.
Clear Policies and Consistent City Culture
Feedback from community organizations suggests a need for more coordinated and consistent
relationships with the City. Some groups shared that they have multiple surface-level contacts within
City departments but lack a single point of deeper connection. This can lead to confusion, such as
receiving multiple, uncoordinated requests for the same project or event.Additionally, organizations
expressed a desire for clearer communication about the City's goals and desired outcomes, noting
that inconsistent messaging can make collaboration challenging.
Should the City Listen More to Community Stories?
Absolutely,there is always room for more listening and storytelling. A recurring theme is the
importance of leaning into spaces where stories are shared naturally and being present with the
intent to listen and connect on a human level. While Council meetings and public hearings serve a
purpose,they can feel intimidating and formal, limiting participation. Communities are seeking more
individual and genuine interactions in spaces that feel comfortable and accessible.This could mean
attending community-based events,workshops, places of worship, or schools—places where people
are already gathering. It's also crucial to internalize the lessons learned from these experiences and
thoughtfully share them across City teams to strengthen overall engagement and connection.
By being intentional about listening and participating in these organic spaces,the City can foster trust,
build stronger relationships, and better align its efforts with the needs of the community.
December 10, 2024 – City of Tigard – City Council
Meeting
Agenda Item No. 9 — BRIEFING ON FOOD CART DEVELOPMENT CODE
AMENDMENTS
Q: (Councilor Wolf) Eager to hear more from the continued conversations about food cart pods when it
comes before Council in January. Really appreciate the City bringing this forward to address. Does this
address the issues brought forward by Ky Le— Baller Park? Is requiring a permanent structure and
restrooms for FOUR or more carts the business standard? Four seems low to require restrooms so I'm
just curious.
I know I personally enjoy Beaverton's Food Cartel quite a bit. I hope our criteria ensure high health and
safety standards, but vendors are supported, and the City is an effective partner.
A: (Community Development Director Kirkman)The CD team has been engaging with stakeholders as
we develop these draft regulations;these include colleagues in other jurisdictions, our teammates in
Public Works,the Tigard Chamber,as well as cart entrepreneurs.The team feels we are striking the
right balance between the issues you raise, as around protecting public safety while promoting
entrepreneurship.The City team will continue requesting feedback throughout the process.
In response to your question about a permanent structure and restrooms, let me offer the following
which informs our thinking:
- We define food carts as three or less carts at one location,and
- food cart pods as more than three carts at one location.
We consider the distinction between these as about their permanency.
A food cart pod is treated as a stand-alone use,the same as any brick and mortar restaurant.To
ensure equity with the requirements of those free standing restaurants as well as public health,we
believe that permanent development should provide permanent sanitation facilities.This does not
mean that a new building must be constructed. In most cases, smaller food cart pods choose to locate
on sites with existing buildings,where restrooms can be made available. New food cart pod
developments with associated new permanent buildings tend to have a higher number of carts. In our
