1. ROLL CALL: Present: Mayor Alan Mickelson; Councilmen Tom Brian, John Cook,
Kenneth Scheckla (arriving at 7:35 P.M.); Chief of Police, Robert
Adams; Legal Counsel, Joe Bailey; City Administrator, Raeldon R.

2. ENGLEWOOD GREENWAY POLICY
(a) With respect to overgrown grass and weeds, City Administrator presented
Park Board recommendation to Council that playground equipment be moved to
highest ground possible in greenway and that playground area be mowed.
He advised Council that the manpower in the public works department had
been cut by two men; that the improvements in the soccer fields, Cook
Park restrooms and 20 acre Summerlake Park were more than the present
staff could keep maintained adequately. The City Administrator suggested
that the greenway area in Englewood be mowed two or three times a year
with the flail mower and the playground equipment area be maintained more
often.
(b) Discussion followed between Council, staff and audience. Those in the
audience were: Mr. Phil Hirl, Chairman of the Park Board, Mr. Bob Irby
and Don Moen, residents of Ironwood Loop in the Englewood Subdivision.
Mr. Moen noted that Ordinance No. 73-17 originally adopted the Englewood
Planned Development with a condition to maintain the greenway as a park.
Mr. Hirl stated the Park Board would have to determine what area should
be considered park and what area greenway and requested resident's input
to assist the board in this task.
(c) Consensus of Council was to have staff mow the greenway in its entirety
at_least'_once in this growing season (May through. September) when the
flail mower arrives and to groom the play equipment areas to a more park-
like standard.` Council to give: this problem consideration when develop-
ing 1981`-82 Budget.
3. LAND USE APPEAL PROCESS
(a) City Administrator stated the Council considered eliminating public
testimony in the appeal hearing'process and requested Legal Counsel speak
to this issue.
(b) Legal Counsel explained the concept behind the Fasano Decision which sets
forth the procedure for appeal hearings. He suggested that Council might
wish to ;use a "notice of appeal farmsuchas Multnomah County uses to
have the appellant set forth his reason for ;appeal.
(c) Council discussed the problems with the current appeal process and request-
ed that staff prepare an ordinance to not allow testimony during the appeal
N-0 hearing. They also requested Legal Counsel include copies of the Multnomah
County notice of appeal form and any other forms from surrounding jurisdictions
which might assist the City in the appeal procedures.
Y
a
Councilman Cook requested staff send the transcript and other appeal
papers to Council 10 days before the hearing to give them enough time
to read all the documents.
Planning Director requested Council not ask for a verbal recommendation
from him at the appeal hearing as this is already in writing in the
staff report.
This item will appear on the August 18th agenda for further comments.
4. SURVEY OF POLICE SERVICES
(a) City Administrator reported that Council had requested staff investigate
the cost for a professional survey to be taken as the Police Study suggest-
ed. He received a quote from Mr. Davis of Oregon Attitudes showing the
difference in costs for telephone and in-home interviews. The price ranged
from $3,000 to $7,500.
(b) After considerable discussion, consensus of Council was to abandon the
consideration of a professional survey this calendar year. They requested
staff collect some tested. survey questionnaires from state and federal
associations and bring back to Council at the August 18th study session.
When the City hires a Research h Development Aide, this project could be
started with the distribution of the su-vey at different civic club meet-
ings, Chamber of Commerce members and possibly in the sewer billing mail.
(c) Chief of Police expressed concern that this way of distributing the survey
could cause problems in getting a true picture of the concerns of the
community at large. Also, he requested Council look at possibly having a
professional take the completed surveys and pull together the statistics.
(d) Councilman Scheckla requested Council consider taking action to approve
the'Police Manual at this time or in the near future.
After some discussion, Council requested staff meet to develop an
ordinance, as suggested in the 'manual, 'and consider the ordinance at the
August 18th study session. .It was noted that after the ordinance was
developed and adopted, the 'Chief`could'implement the operations manual
without Council approval.
(e) ' Mayor Mickelson stated the Council needed to develop some goals and-objec-
tives for the Police.Department and wished to discuss this item at the
August 18th study session.
(f) Chief of Police noted he would forward to the Council a copy of the new
letter of transmittal in the operations manual, as it sets forth his:
long range goals and objectives for the department. He 'stated'this 'might
.
help, Council in forming their list of objectives. '
5. PROPOSED TAX BASE ORDINANCE
(a) The City Administrator advised Council that the ordinance adopting the
language for the ballot in the November general election would have to
be delivered to the County Elections Department by September 4, 1980.
He showed Council four different 'purpose' and. 'explanation' formats
to chose from for the ballot wordage.
PAGE 2 - Study Session Minutes '- August 4, 1980
After discussion, consensus of Council was to adopt the following verbage
for the ballot.
QUESTION: Shall the City of Tigard establish a new tax base of $562,098 to be
effective in fiscal year 1981-82?
PURPOSE: This new tax base would finance police, parks, library, streets, and
other services to city residents with state revenues offsetting part
of the cost. This measure submits for voter approval, a tax base of
$562,098 effective July 1, 1981. Future taxes levied within the
the proposed new tax base would be partially paid by the State under
existing state law.
EXPLANATION: The present City tax base was established in 1968. Today it isnot
sufficient to fund City services such as police, library, parks and
streets. In order to continue providing the present level of services,
the City must receive additional revenues. If this measure is
approved, the estimated tax would be $1.10 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Taxes levied within the tax base would be partially funded by the State.
(b) City Administrator reminded Council that a committee should be formed for
support of the tax base measure. The ordinance will be presented for
Council approval. on August 11, 1980.
6. AGREEMENT WITH ODOT - Re: Traffic Signals at Hall Blvd. and Hunziker
(a) City Administrator stated the Oregon Department of Transportation has
requested the City enter into an agreement for a signal light at the
intersection of Hall Blvd and Hunziker Street. He noted that the City
would be paying for the energizing of the lights.
_ (b`) Councilman Cook requested staff contact ODOT to see whether the light is
to be installed at the intersection of Hunziker or Scoffins. Agreement
will be considered at the August' Ilth meeting.

(d) Councilman Brian and Mayor Mickelson expressed their appreciation to the
planning 'group 'for town and country days. They also expressed concern
regarding the liquor'sales' (beer garden). They suggested next year the
Town and Country Days Committee present their plan for the beer garden

3. Minutes of the May meeting were approved.
4. In deference to the interests of the guests, Roger Zumwalt took up item 14.3
from the aganda first in which Frank Currie reported to the Park Board that
the City Staff has mowed the Englewood greenway area twice in 1978, four times
in 1979 and twice this year, 1980. There are :two men to maintain all of the
City parks completed and in the process of improvement and new development.
The greenways have not been on their high priority 'list. ,Because of the moist
nature of :the area it is not-a potential fire;hazard at this time,according
to the local Fire Marshall. The City is not in violation;of any ordinance but
will make a special effort to keep the areas around the ,playground equipment
d
mowe .
r
Mr. & Mrs. Weizenborn stated that ,their mower could not cut the; grass which
is 10" high at present, Mary Payne suggested that adjoining property owners
continue to mow greenway after the City does the first spring cutting.
Mr. Stephens expressed concern about the weed problem. An ordinance exists
-concerning roadways but not 'greenways.
Staff suggested fencing and mowing, areas with playground equipment.
Mrs. Golden moved to have the City remove playground equipment from the swampy
areas'where necessary for maintenance in the spring and within the limitations
of money, equipment and manpower. The board voted unanimously in favor (4 to 2).

TO: City Council
FROM: City A-ctorney
SUBJECT: Procedures on Appeal in Land Use Matters;
Section 18.92.020 Tigard Municipal Code
Section 1.8.92.020 of the Tigard Municipal Code has
.always been difficult to administer. In my opinion the problem
is not one created by the language of the section, but rather one
created by the complexity of the problem it deals with. I don't
know that reviewing the history and the legal surroundings will
be helpful, but on the chance that it might I will go into some
of that in this explanation.
(A copy of section 18.92.020 is attached to this
memorandum.)
The first important aspect of the section is the sentence
whichprovides that "if an appeal is filed, the council shall
receive a report and recommendation from the planning commission
and a verbatim transcript of the hearing before the com'nission �`� . �
That much of the sentence describes what is known as "the record
on appeal."
This phrase and the notion of a limited or "frozen"
record comes from the model which exists in the court system,
upon which this appeal process we have adopted is based. You will
recall that in the early 1970s the Oregon courts began to construct
a set of rules concerning land use matters built on models taken
from the Oregon court system.' The courts had been e:.perienci.ng
frustraciora in dealing with cases in which loose procedure or the
romnlete lack of formalized procedure in proceedings before county
icimpossible forthe courts to
and municipal land use bodies made ' `
A

give appropriate review, and left the system open to what the
court felt was a dangerous degree of manipulation by (the court
seems to have feared) both those attempting to develop land and
those in the local public bodies which were charged with adminis-
tering the land-use regulation system. At this time, beginning
with the Fasano case, the court began to talk about the "quasi-
judicial" character of most of the land-use decision-making that
local public bodies were doing.
The courts soon began insisting on fairly rigid adher-
ence to the model created by the court system, and our Section
18.92.020 reflects a response to that insistence, % think. That
is not to say that our approach is improper; in fact, it seems a
completely rational response to the problem posed by the supreme
court, and it is a solution which still functions quite well for
the purpose of meeting the court's requirements. Thedifficulty
is that the model is not likely to be understood very well by a
large part of the population which is affected by the rules.
The next clause of the 'sentence discussedabove tells
what the city council shall do with the "record on appeal": It
says that the city 'council "shall hold a hearing on the record
established before the planning corrsnission. " I think the diffi-
culty arises because of the use of the word "hearing" in
connection with the words "on the record. "
"Bearing" suggests to most people a meeting at which }
Persons attending the meeting *-or the purpose of influencing the
decision to be made are to be given an opportunity to give testi-
mony on the subject in i;°hich' they are °interested. (Certainly if
, r
3
the word "public" were added before "hearing"everyone would
have that expectation. As I say, I think most people have that
expectation anyway. ) But what was intended was that there would
be this "record, " which would not be altered by anything which
occurred at the city council meeting, and each side would be given
an opportunity, not to give nein evidence, but to make arguments to
the city council in support of the positions they took as to what
result was appropriate, given the record made in the planning
commission.
There is a very precise analogue to this procedure in the
court system. It works like this: A case is "filed" in the cir-
cuit court. (That is analogous to the filing of an application
or a petition for a variance or a zone change, for example.) A
t "trial" is then held in the circuit court. At that trial each side
has the;,opportunity to give whatever evidence it believes would be
relevant and 'helpful to its side of the case. : (The analogous por-
tion of the land-use proceeding is the public hearing before the
planning commission. ) At the conclusion of the trial the judge or
jury makes a' decision, and that decision is entered on the records
of the court as a "judgment. " (The analogous portion of the land-use
proceeding is the decision by the planning cor�nission. )
ordinarily one side or the other will be unhappy with the
result of the trial. He or she must decide whether to appeal. In
the court example the appeal is' conmenced by the filing of a "notice
of appeal. " This triggers the preparation of a transcript by the
court reporter. (In the lard--use situation, too, there is a notice
of appeal and here, too, a transcript is prepared as a result of
4
the filing of the notice of appeal. )
In the court setting each side then files a brief in the
court of appeals . The party appealing must file first. The re-
sponding party then has a certain additional time in which to file
its brief. After the briefs have been filed the court sets a time
for argument. (In the land use situation, under our code, a "hearing"
before the city council is scheduled as soon after the filing of
the notice of appeal as possible, given the need for some time for
the preparation of the transcript. )
In the court setting the arguments before the court of
appeals are clearly just that- arguments. Typically only laveyer_s
are in attendance. That is, neither the parties nor witnesses attend.
The lawyers appear before the court to attempt to persuade the court
to reverse or to sustain the position taken by the circuit court.
_ They are not 'permitted to introduce new evidence, though they are
permitted to talk about the evidence submitted to the circuit court.
it may be some comfort to you to know that the courts, too,
often have trouble discriminating at this stage between evidence
and>'arcrument, and the judges on the court of appeals and the supreme
court will often stop a lawyer and ask him whether he is arguing ;n
a manner truly consistent with the evidence available in the record
or is embellishing the evidence for the purpose of improving his
position. It is very clear, though, that the rules prohibit intro-
ducing new evidence at this stage, it is not necessary that the
parties be represented at this argument by the same lawyers who
represented them in the circuit court. Ordinarily the court's rules
... snore than one lawyer the -,-vp,-esentation of a party by
.. . .
(in a sneaking role) but there are some exceptions to this rule.
The court will not look at any pictures not submitted during the
trial, will not hear evie';entiary statements otr,er than statements
given as evidence in the trial, and will not t<<ke up any issues not
considered during the trial. This last statenent creates a lot of
problems, because typically during a trial one or more of the sub-
jects concerning which the parties have decided to argue on appea2
will not have drawn any significant attention, and there will often
be some struggle as to whether this is a "new" area or merely an
area in which the decision in the circuit court was made quickly,
_r
and with little attention.
In the land-use situation our problem in this area is
even more difficult. The parties are often not represented by
la,ryers, and in many instances the people involved u7ill have had no
reason to be exposed to the model presented by the court system..
Furthermore, ure are often involved with more than just the city and
an applicant. We will have the city, an applicant, and neighbors
and others affected by the proposed land use. Even if the city and
the applicant are represented by persons who are familiar with the
procedure, there will very often be someone present who is not. We
often encounter the situation in which someone with a legitimate
interest in the land use in uuestion will want to talk, but we can
see from the `beginning that the person who wants to talk really wants`
to 'give new 'evidence. It always seems .harsh to cut that person off,
and yet to permit the introduction of new evidence puts the developer
or the city, depending, on what kind of evidence the witness cants to
give, in an a47fward position. it will then want to respond, of
course.

Like the court model, our ordinance does not limit the
parties to a land use appeal before the city council to representation
by the same person or persons who spoke before the planning commis-
sion. I know this must be confusing to people who are unfamiliar
with the court model. The distinction between "argument" and "testi-
mony" is obscure enough to a person who has not had significant
experience with the court model to crake it awfully difficult to
understand how we can let one person who was not present at a former
hearing make a speech and forbid another to do the same. The problem
is that the permission to speak depends on the commitment to stick
to argument based on the record.. Our policy has always been to cut
off a speaker who has straved from the record and begun to give new
evidence, but because we don't want to be rude I think that we some-
times permit them to give some new evidence and then try to disregard
that new evidence in making decisions. In any case, we do not pro-
hibit someone's
rohibit_someone's makinq an araunent merely* because he or she did not
give evidence at the planning commission level.
It may be that some 'bit of additional confusion arises
out of paragraph (b) of Section18.92.020. I am not going to deal
with this at any length right now, because I am not sure that this
problem comes up often enough to be of concern. The distinction'
between "legislative" and "quasi-judicial" decision-making is
difficult sometimes, but generally we have not had a problem with
it in the administration of our land use code, in ny experience.
In any event, because of the way paragraph (b) is written the problem
only arises in those rare instances in which the city council decides
to bring; up a subject on its own motion. That is certainly ,not the
ordinary- case', and not the Rind 'of case c ith %•,'with ve've bL en having
trouble
ss
Z suggest as a tool for helping to think about the proce-
dural problems we have experienced the following-
Imagine chat the city council is sitting as the court
of appeals of the state, and that it has before it "the record,"
which consists of the transcript: of the planning commission hearing
and any 71aps, photographs, tables, petitions or other documents made
exhibits at the hearing before the planning commission. The decision
of the council must take into account only those pieces of informa-
tion which are in that record. In order to assist the council in
its thinking aboLt what to do with the facts in the record the
council will be hearing arguments by representatives of the various
points of view. Those arguments will typically tall: about what is
fair, ghat kind of Impact one living in a certain neighborhood
should have to put up with from a neighboring development, what kind
of economic e.cpectations a person in the position of a devoloper
or` one opposing a development should be entitled to, given the
comprehensive plan, the history of the city, .and so forth, and,
per most important, what kinds cif interpretations ought to be
placed upon the facts available to the council in'the record.
In addition, there will often be arguments concerning the inter-
pretations of the relevant statutes and ordinances and the neigh®
borhood plazas. All of these are proper subjects for argument. It
is only the introduction of new evidence which is prohibited by
the ordinance.

ALTERNATE WORDING OF PURPOSE AND EXPLANATION OF PROPOSED NEW TAX BASE
PURPOSE:
1. Continues present level of services: police, library, parks, planning, zoning,
building regulations. If approved, the State will pay for part of the new
tax base.
2. This measure, which would be partially State financed if approved, will authorize
the City of Tigard to increase its tax base from the current $223,793 to $562,098
to be effective for fiscal year 1981-82 which commences July 1, 1981. The current
tax base is not adequate to maintain City services.
3. This proposal is referred to the legal voters of the City of Tigard for the reason
that the amount of taxes that may be levied by the City Council within the present
tax base is insufficient to cover the following functions: police, parks,
library, and streets.
EXPLANATION:
1. The tax base for fiscal year 1980-81 is $223,793 which, in accordance with State
Constitution, can be increased by 6% to $237,221 for fiscal year 1981-82. This
ballot measure, if approved, will increase the tax base to $562,098 effective
July 1, 1981. The proposed tax base, if approved, will be partially financed
by the State. The City cannot operate on its present tax base and has, for
several years, been required to request voter approval of an annual levy in
excess of the six (6T) percent limitation.
¢ 2. Submission of a tax levy annually to the voters is not cost effective. The State
Legislature has recognized this and has required the City to hold a tax base
election. Passage of this measure would allow but would not require the City
to levy taxes for the total amount authorized. All taxes levied would be subject
to the budgetary control process, which requires a thorough review of the'entire
budget document by the Budget Committee; and a public hearing open to all citizens.
If this measure is approved, all taxes levied within the tax'base will be partially
funded by the State.
3. The present City tax base was established in 1968. Today it is not 'sufficient to fund
City services such as police, library, parks and streets. In order to continue .
providing the present level of services, the City must receive'additional'revenues. f
The estimated cost of this measure would be $1.10 per $1,000 or assessed value.'
The City taxes on a home assessed at $910,000 would be $99.00.

except 1981-82 (TCYS not included in 1977-78).
8. Non-property tax revenues include all revenues other than property taxes.
9. Estimated property taxes shown for 1980-81 and 1981-82 reflect the assumption
that 927 of taxes levied will be collected in the current year, and that $20,000
in delinquent taxes will be collected annually.
10. It is assumed that fewer state and 'federal grant dollars will beavailable to the
City in the next 2-3 years because of efforts to balance the federal budget.<
11. Estimated assessed valuation figures for 1980-81 and 1981-82 reflect a 107 increase
over the previous year.

outsidethetax base for TCYS and Loaves and Fishes (Loaves and Fishes alone in 1977).

for all years shown except 1981-82.

Durham Road, Walnut Street, and Greenburg Road; further development of Cook Park and
Summer. Lake Park; and greenway 'development (Hall to Main).
15. The large increases in non-property tax revenues from 1978-79 to 1980-81 are due
mostly to the increases in state and federal grants (e.g. Senior Center) and the
collection and accumulation of System Development Charges. : The large .decrease in
estimated non-property tax revenue from 1980-81 to 1981-82 -is due mainly to the decrease
in state and federal grants and a decrease in the amount of System Development funds
available if they are all used or most of the funds are used on proiects during
1980-81 (e.g. 72nd Avenue improvements).

DURHAM TREATMENT PLANT
1. Chairman Bergmann recovened the meeting at 8:14 P.M.
2. PRESENT: Chairman Floyd Bergmann; Committee members John Cook, Tom Brian,
Alan Mickelson, Dale Evans, Wally Hoffman, Kenneth Scheckla.;
City Administrator, Raeldon R, Barker; Chief of Police, Robert
Adams; Head Librarian, Irene Ertell; .Administrative Secretary,
Loreen Wilson.
3. City Administrator presented Example No. 4 for the Committee's consideration.
This example reflected the requests of the committee from the last meeting
which included a 10% increase in payroll costs and provided for an 8.57
increase for operating costs, and increase in equipment costs.
City Administrator suggested the Council might want to look at the survey,
taken with other cities and entities which passed tax base measures in
the May primary, which was distributed.
After lengthy discussion, consensus of Committee was to remove the TCYS
and Loaves and Fishes amounts from the tax base figure and require these
groups to request a separate tax levy each year.
Discussion followed regarding the amount of Tax Base to request from the
voters and how to approach the election so that it would be passed
successfully.
At the Committee's direction, the City Administrator figured the tax base
at $562,098 which would remove TCYS and Loaves & Fishes and still maintain
the monies necessary to operate in the fiscal year 1981-82. With the
assessed valuation figures currently available,',this would be a tax rate`
of $1.10 per 'thousand.
The Committee consensus was to keep the tax:base figure under $600,000.
After further discussion, Committee member. Scheckla moved to send the
tax base figure of ,$562,098 to the voters in November. Motion was
seconded by ,Committee member Mickelson.
Approved by unanimous vote of Committee present. '
