1.1 Chair Dirksen called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m.

2. REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
Chair Dirksen announced that last week the City of Tigard was awarded the
League of Oregon Cities Good Governance Award in recognition of its Downtown
Plan. The Chair acknowledged former Downtown Task Force Chair Mike Marr,
who was present at this meeting, and thanked all the members of the Task Force
who made this award possible.
Associate Planner Roberts gave a status report on the activities for the urban
renewal effort, which included seven community meetings and three meetings
with taxing districts regarding the Plan. Mr. Roberts reviewed the results of
surveys taken at these meetings indicating, by and large, support for the urban
renewal effort. He reviewed the nature of the questions from the 15 calls
received on the Urban Renewal Hotline, which he characterized as general-
inquiry in nature.
A member of the audience asked when would the urban renewal start. City
Manager Prosser noted that the schedule calls for tax increment financing to be
placed before the voters in May. Mayor Dirksen clarified that urban renewal
projects have been identified in the capital improvement budget; tax increment
financing is one of the tools to implement the Urban Renewal Plan once
approved by the City Council.
A hearing on whether to approve the Urban Renewal Plan and Report will be
before the City Council on Tuesday, November 22. At that time, the City Council

election.
