Mickelson, Kenneth W. Scheckla; Legal Counsel, J.D. Bailey; City Administrator, R.R. Barker; Administrative Aide, Aldace Howard; Police Lieutenant, Donald Rea; Planning Director, Kenneth L. Weaver; Administrative Secretary Recorder pro-tem, Loreen Wilson 2. REWORDING OF RESOLUTION No. 78-58 REGARDING INCUMBENT CANDIDATE RULE (a) Legal Counsel stated revision to resolution would permit nom- inating papers for special elections to be filed with the Recorder 20 days before the election instead of the 90 days which is required for regular elections by the Charter. This time limit would still permit staff to validate the pe- titions and print the ballots before the election. (b) Councilman Scheckla noted his dissatisfaction with the section requiring candidates to submit a letter of resignation from their current post if they hold office at the time they sub- mit a petition. (c) Consensus of Council was to consider Resolution No. 78-58 as amended at the August 28, 1978 meeting. 3. DISCUSSION - Tax Base Election for November 7, 1978 (a) Mayor Bishop stated Council should give consideration to this matter since the City will not be able to request a new tax base by election for two more years according to state law. (b) City Administrator recommended Council not seek a new tax base at the November election due to the support Proposition No. 6 seems to have and the time and money it would take to put a tax base measure on the ballot. (c) Consensus of Council was to not place a tax base measure on the ballot for November 7th. 4. PARK BOARD REPORT (a) Fred Cooper, Chairman of the Park Board, stated since there was not a staff laison person at this time to keep Council aware of the position of the Park Board, he would be giving a status report to Council from time to time. At the present, the B.O.R. grant was extended one year and the funds were transferred from the bandstand to Soccer fields. The Park Board will be approaching Planning Commission for a flood plain fill permit in order to construct the soccer fields. Also the Marine Corps. will be contacted regarding the construction of the fields at a substantial savings to the City. a The other item presented for Council's consideration was the use of monies from the sale of the Pinebrook property. Mr. Cooper requested Council consider allocating the monies from the sale for Park acquisition. In the course of study of park locations in the City, the Park Board had made the de- termination that the Pinebrook property did not meet the standards for park land and was declared surplus. The Park Board, approximately a year ago, had requested the land be sold and the money used for park acquisition purposes. (b) Mayor Bishop stated the Council would consider this use of the money when the Pinebrook property was sold. 5. PARK USE FEES. (a) Councilman Scheckla requested Park Board and/or City Administrator investigate waiving the fees for the Sherwood Elks as they have contributed so much to the park and the City. (b) Consensus of Council was to have the Park Board make a decision in this matter at their August 22, 1978 meeting and report results to staff. 6. GARBAGE FRANCHISE REVISION DISCUSSION (a) Legal Counsel noted the proposed ordinance had been reviewed and would be forwarded to Council for consideration at a future study session during the month of September. 7. SCHOLLS FERRY ROAD SEWER TRUNK L.I .D. (a) Legal Counsel reported Unified Sewerage Agency has taken the position that they will not participate in this report at this time, therefore the trunk, if constructed, would have to be within city limits only. (b) Mr. Millard, representing the Art Lutz Company and Mike Beardsley representing the Wedgewood Development Company presented their request to enter into an agreement with the City to collect a surcharge on each sewer connection made to the trunk line if the two companies were to construct the line. If the construction cost were $300,000. the surcharge could approximately be $300. per connection and would be ef- fective only for the first 1,000 connections at which time the line would be paid for and the contract fulfilled. It was noted that even the homes which Art Lutz and Wedgewood are planning to construct would pay the surcharge amount for sewer connections. (c) Consensus of Council was to have Legal Counsel and staff draw up a contract authorizing the surcharge for sewer connections until the cost of the construction is received. :a Page 2 - August 21, 1978 - Council Minutes ry,. 8. DISCUSSION - City participation in construction of signal lights at 121st and Scholls Ferry Road. (a) City Administrator stated developers, staff and Oregon Department of Transportation had discussed the problems of signal lights which would be installed at the intersection Of Scholls Ferry and 121st. The developers had requested City participate in the con- struction cost of the signals. City Administrator noted that to this date Englewood Subdivision had deposited approximately $14,400 of System Development Charges with the City. Since the purpose of the SDC is to develop streets and handle street related problems such as signal lights, the City Administrator recommended using some of these monies for this project. City Administrator recommended city consider participating in construction of light by about loo since approximately 10% of the traffic at that intersection is generated by the Englewood Subdivision. This recommendation would be valid only if the SDC litigation was decided in favor of the City. 9. PETITION - requesting one-way traffic on SW Knoll Drive (a) City Administrator stated staff had investigated the traffic problems on SW Knoll Drive and would recommend to Council that the street be made a one-way street from Hall Blvd. to Hunziker Street. (b) Motion by Councilman Cook, seconded by Councilman Mickelson to have staff prepare an ordinance making Knoll Drive a one- way street and present at the August 28th meeting. Approved by unanimous vote of Council. 10. REVIEW OF POLITICAL SIGNS (a) Administrative Aide recommended Council consider deleting paragraph 4 from Section 16.40.010 of the Tigard Municipal Code which requires a $100 deposit and location map be filed for political signs. (b) After lengthy discussion Council consensus was to have staff prepare ordinance to delete the second sentence in paragraph 4 of Section 16.40.010 requiring a map to be filed showing location of political signs. 11. C.E.T.A. I POSITION - Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer Trainee (a) City Administrator stated the C.E.T.A. office had wished to place a trainee in the Building Department as Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer for 6 months. This position would be a temporary position and fully funded by C.E.T.A. (b) Consensus of Council was to approve the position as temporary. Page 3 - Agusut 21, 1.978 - Council Minutes 12. I .C.M.A. PENSION - Planning Director position (a) City Administrator recommended Council allow Kenneth Weaver to participate in the I .C.M.A. Pension Program.
