DINNER SING WITH T ATATM C rY C OUNC1L a. Present from Tualatin: Mayor Steve Stolze; Councilors: Robe--t Haas, William Gleason, Ronald Sarazin; Kathy Lawrance. Staff Present: Steve Rhodes, Tualatin City Administrator b. Mayor Edwards opened discussion by saying the purpose of the meeting was to get to know members of the Tualatin City Council. He advised the Tigard Council was endeavoring to meet with as many of the surrounding jurisdictions as possible to discuss mutual concerns and to educate themselves on regional issues. Mayor reported briefly on issues Tigard has identified, including the Western Bypass, Bull Mountain Transportation Study, urban renewal, light rail, senior citizen operations, and regional police dispatching proposals. He noted the importance of neighboring communities communicating on regional issues. By establishing a mutually agreeable working relationship, the cities will be able to present a strong, united front. C. Mayor Stolze noted his agreement with Mayor Edwards' comments. The major issues he identified included the Tualatin River clean-up efforts and the Western Bypass. He also agreed on the importance of eastern-county jurisdictions finding ways to work together. d. Councilor Schwartz updated the Councils on Surface Water Management (SWM). He cautioned that because Tigard and Tualatin are located downstream, continued involvement in the SWM operations was very important; the cities would need to remain involved with Unified Sewerage Agency's administration. Therefore, he recommended that the elected officials remain involved and periodically review the SWM program policies. e. There was brief discussion on the County's transportation improvements scheduled in MSTIP/2. Affected jurisdictions should continue to monitor project priorities to assure the eastern county receives their listed road improvements. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 15, 1990 - PAGE 1 f. Mayor Stolze updated the Councils on his participation as the area representative on the EMS Board. He summarized recent developments noting bid process and the Board's attempt to determine the best method of providing service and cost considerations. A modified fee schedule, as proposed by the Fire District, for emergency services (not transporting services) was approved by the County. He noted issues were still being worked out; there may be a court challenge. g. Council Johnson cited common concerns for traffic impacts due to a major office development by PacTrust along Interstate 5 in Tigard. h. Other topics of discussion included: - Brief comment concerning feasibility of a bridge over Tualatin River connecting the two cities. - Possible meeting with the Park Boards from Tigard and Tualatin. - Status of swimming pool project in Tualatin: Mayor Stolze advised survey results indicated a great deal of interest by citizens; however, this was not a No. 1 priority. - Urban renewal issues in general were discussed. Tualatin's Village Square project was over 12-years old. Tigard's effort at downtown development was not approved by the voters. Discussion on the future for both cities with regard to urban renewal was reviewed. It was noted that the neighboring communities of Lake Oswego and Beaverton are contemplating city center development plans. - The Westerly Bypass, as an on-line project, was in jeopardy; the issue has been tabled at the state level. - Mass transportation; i.e., light rail and park-and-ride areas continue to be issues of study. There was discussion on growth-contairmient pressure and the need to provide better services for an urban population. Council Meeting Recessed: 8:00 p.m. Council Meeting Reconvened: 8:12 p.m. 3. URBAN RENEPML DISCUSSICI - IP O94EIL CROW ODMpANY a. Mr. David Blake of Trammell Crow Company presented an urban renewal proposal near the Washington Square/Lincoln Center Developments. He referred to a map outlining the subject area noting its current valuation of about $5 million. He speculated that this area would be valued at $300 million with the improvements he was proposing. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MURnFS - JANUARY 15, 1990 - PAGE 2 r Mr. Blake presented slides showing the condition of the area. He noted inadequate roads, storm drainage problems, declining building values, and an elementary school which needed to be relocated to address safety concerns and to better serve the residential community. Urban renewal, utilizing tax increment financing, would provide the necessary funding mechanism to accomplish the improvements. Mr. Blake's presentation included the following: - Residents and the school district have expressed interest in the relocation of the Metzger Elementary School. - Urban renewal would provide funds for traffic improvements, including the widening of 217 with related interchange upgrades. - The entire project, as proposed, could be substantially completed within five years. - Broad-based support was evident in the affected area. b. Mr. Blake advised Trammell Crow Company was requesting the City of Tigard's assistance by referring the urban renewal issue to the voters on the May ballot. C. Lengthy discussion and questions from the ~ity Council followed. Council identified elements of the plan and issues which required careful review. Discussion points included the following: - Determination of financing alternatives/assistance; i.e., matching funds from state and federal sources for transportation improvements. Determination of amount of support from the school district and affected property owners. The immediacy of action required; the filing deadline for the May ballot was March 15. Mr. Blake advised Trammell Crow had expended $210,000 on options to purchase in the area. When these options expire, they will not be renewed. He advised great efforts to contact the affected community to get them behind the proposal had already taken place. Further, Mr. Blake advised that the Lincoln Center Development had lost tenants to the Kruse Way development because of traffic issues. d. After discussion, Council consensus was to schedule a workshop meeting with Metzger-area residents. Council also requested that the School Board be invited as well as a representative from the Oregon Department of Transportation. The purpose of the workshop would be for Trammell Crow Company to present their proposal and then open up the meeting for questions and/or comments.
