Exhibit B
This measure, if approved In both the City and in the area proposed for annexation,would
annex the unincorporated Bull Mountain area into Tigard effective July 1, 2005,and
withdraw the area from the Tigard Water District,Washington County Street Lighting
District, Washington County Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District, and the Urban Road
Maintenance District. The area is within the UGB.
The area includes areas west of the existing City limits,north of Beef Bend,south of
Barrows. The area does not include UGB expansion areas 63 and 64.
Property owners in the unincorporated Bull Mountain would no longer pay for county
special service districts such as road maintenance, Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol,and street light
maintenance.
City property taxes for the area to be annexed would be phased in over three years. City
property taxes in the area proposed for annexation for the first year after annexation (fiscal
year 2005-06) would be set at 50%of the City's tax rate;City property taxes for the
second year(fiscal year 2006-07) would be set at 75%of the City's tax rate,and City
property taxes for all later years would be at 100%of the City's rate.
Annexation would result in a property tax increase of approximately 8.301b to 8.49/b within
the area to be annexed, based on the amount payable in the third year after annexation.
Property owners within the area to be annexed would begin paying property taxes to the
City of Tigard, but would stop paying some property taxes to Washington County. Property
with an assessed value of$250,000 would experience a net property tax increase of$31 7
in the third year. The area would be subject to the City's street maintenance fee on
annexation. Other charges may also increase. The annexation would create an increase in
revenue to the City of Tigard, but the City would have higher operating costs. Increased
revenue to the City includes additional state shared revenues,system development charges,
traffic impact fees, franchise fees and property taxes. Property taxes for existing City
property owners will not increase as a result of this annexation.
Annexation of the Bull Mountain area would not impact service levels for existing city
residents. The City would become responsible for capital improvements in the Bull
` Mountain area.
Newly annexed residents would receive:
i
? 1. More police officers per 1000 population. Shorter emergency response times.
More police resources committed to youth and prevention programs.
2. Broader civic participation and voting power in the affairs of the City of Tigard.
3. A program to provide more traffic calming programs.
4. Road maintenance improvements including roadside mowing and more frequent
maintenance on roads where jurisdiction is transferred from Washington County
to the City of Tigard.
5. Park system planning, land acquisition and park development. Exhibit B
6. Improved Code enforcement services.
Newly annexed residents and existing City residents would be involved in updating the
Comprehensive Plans for both the City and the Bull Mountain areas.
