Business Meeting Meeting Date: 02/11/2025 Length (in minutes): 30 Minutes Agenda Title: Briefing on Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan Authored By: Courtney Furman Presented By: Principal Engineer Courtney Furman & Principal Transportation Planner Tiffany Gehrke Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE In 2022, the City received a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) planning grant from the USDOT. This briefing provides an update on the related Action Plan, a requirement of this grant, which is now underway. This corresponds to CIP 95079. ACTION REQUESTED This is an update of the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan project. The project is split into 4 phases: (1) Envision, (2) Understand, (3) Resolve, and (4) Commit. The previous update to Council for the Envision Phase was in September 2024. This update is for the Understand Phase. No action is needed by Council. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations In 2022, in coordination with Metro, Washington County, and the cities within East Multnomah County, the City of Tigard was successfully awarded $240,000 in federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding as a sub-recipient to Metro to develop a local comprehensive transportation safety action plan. A leadership commitment to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries is a required component of the grant to support development of a new comprehensive transportation safety action plan for the City of Tigard. In August 2023, Tigard City Council made a commitment by resolution to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on Tigard's streets and roads using a Safe Systems approach to prioritize transportation safety. The Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Action Plan project (CIP 95079) commenced work with consultant support in May 2024. City Council approved the consultant contract in February 2024. Public Involvement The project will include a robust public engagement process with the following goals in mind: • Educate the community about the Safe Systems Approach and what the city is trying to accomplish. • Support personal connection and buy-in for Tigard's vision of equitable, safe transportation. • Honor lived experience alongside data in understanding safety concerns and priorities. • Help the community understand that different agencies own different streets, and so solutions may move forward in different ways on different parts of the network. • Build understanding of how the city works and interest in being involved in other civic efforts. • Provide avenues for addressing concerns on partner-owned streets. Impacts (Community, Budget, Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) Tigard's SS4A Action Plan will support the city's adopted Strategic Plan priorities related to walkability and equity, the city's Complete Streets policy, and the recently adopted 2040 Transportation System Plan (2040 TSP). Further, this project will support two of the adopted 2023—2025 Tigard City Council Goals. A formalized commitment developed through the SS4A planning process will directly support the Council's goal to "Enhance Community Safety &Accessibility." The project will also indirectly support the Council's goal to "Address Climate Change" by creating safer conditions for carbon-responsible mobility options.

The commitment must include a 0 ‘ goal and timeline for eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries achieved through one, or both, of the following: I (1)the target date for achieving zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries, OR (2) an ambitious percentage reduction of roadway fatalities and serious injuries by a specific date with an eventual goal of eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries. oOo Planning Structure rö I A committee, task force, implementation group, or similar body charged with oversight of the //`�y Action Plan development, implementation, and monitoring.

Analysis of systemic and specific safety needs is also performed, as needed (e.g., 111high-risk road features, specific safety needs of relevant road users, public health approaches, I/,/\/.– he analysis of the built environment, demographic, and structural issues, etc.). To the extent practical, the analysis should include all roadways within the jurisdiction, without regard for ownership. Based on the analysis performed, a geospatial identification of higher-risk locations is developed (a High-Injury Network or equivalent).

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 02/11/2025 Length (in minutes): 20 Minutes Agenda Title: DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED LEGISLATION Authored By: Emily Tritsch Presented By: Assistant City Manager Tritsch Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE The Oregon Legislative Session is underway and over 2,500 bills have been introduced so far. When the Council adopted their State Legislative Agenda in November 2024, the list of bills to be submitted this session was not known. City teammates and consultants seek Council guidance on the City's position related to three bills introduced this session that were not included in the adopted agenda. These bills are summarized below with the bill language attached: • SJR 3. Summary: Proposes amendments to the Oregon Constitution providing that, for purposes of ad valorem property taxation, maximum assessed value shall be reassessed upon the sale of property, the ratio of maximum assessed value to real market value of property may not be less than 0.75, and the maximum number of years for which a local option tax may be passed are extended and the tax is not subject to compression under Ballot Measure 5 (1990). • HB2931. Summary: The Act makes changes to laws about the I-5 bridge project and tolling. • SB925. Prohibits the Oregon Transportation Commission from establishing a toll on Interstate 205. ACTION REQUESTED Council is asked to indicate the position of the City on each bill listed above: SUPPORT, NEUTRAL, or OPPOSE. The information provided in this discussion allows our team to best advocate for the interests of the city. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations June 18, 2024 - 2025 Legislative Road Map Workshop (Part 1) September 17, 2024 - Legislative Workshop (Part 2) November 19, 2024 - Council Discussion: Present and Consider Adoption of Legislative Agendas ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION Council could indicate Support, Opposition, or a Neutral position on each bill. They could also take no position on the bills, which would have our team take no action on these bills as they are discussed and heard in Salem.

If such 13 ratio is less than 0.75, the maximum assessed value of the property shall be increased so that 14 the ratio is equal to 0.75. 15 (B) Legislation enacted to implement the provisions of this paragraph is not subject to 16 the prohibition under section la, Article IX of this Constitution, against declaring an emer- 17 gency. 18 (2) The maximum assessed value of property that is assessed under a partial exemption or spe- 19 cial assessment law shall be determined by applying the percentage reduction of paragraph (a) and 20 the limit of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section, or if newly eligible for partial exemption 21 or special assessment, using a ratio developed in a manner consistent with paragraph (c) of sub- 22 section (1) of this section to the property's partially exempt or specially assessed value in the man- 23 ner provided by law.
