Mayor Jerry Edwards
Good evening ...:.elcome to the City of migardls first official
business meeting of 1993.
Tonight, we have added two new members to our City Council.
Earlier in 1992, we also added a new Councilor to the Council.
This is the first time in many years that the Tigard City Council
has had a majority of new leadership.
I am pleased and proud to be part of this council. The Council
members who have served Tigard for the past several years have been
outstanding, dedicated people. The new members you see before you
tonight are of the highest caliber and dedication. The Citizens of
Tigard will be well served for the next four years.
In our efforts to provide the citizens of Tigard with the services
they expect, we will continue to manage our 4ax dollars with the
greatest care.
Under the present Administrator and staff, we have managed to
function even under Measure 5. The City of Tigard has, from the
very beginning, looked at Measure 5 as a mandate to operate within
fiscal guidelines rather than to do business as usual. In Tigard,
to this point in time, we have done just that.
We have operated our City within our budget and have maintained a
conservative approach to our daily functions.
With a growing population, now approaching 32,000, we are providing
outstanding services for basic needs:
• Police: In 1952, our Chief of Police formed the Police
Citizens' Advisory Committee.
• Community Policing training for all personnel was
conducted. The Mayor and several City Councilors also
attended this training program.
• Our Police Department received grant funds to conduct
gang resistance training in the middle schools and have
set up a community forum regarding gangs.
• The installation of car computers will automate data and
significantly decrease time officers spend writing
reports.
• Tha Police expanded Neighborhood Watch/Utility Watch and
other crime prevention programs.
13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TDD (503) 684-2772
low.
• Crime line was implemented. This program is designed to
allow citizens to call and obtain information on a
criminal activity in their neighborhood.
• Our D.A.R.E. program graduated over 600 5th graders.
• G~Ur _P n- i c iln p r-.- mom - Ahas
continued to be proactive in
new methods of policing. They have been leaders in the
region and continue to look for better ways to serve the
community.
• In our Building Department, we have seen continued growth
and change. This has been ongoing even in what many
consider to have been a depressed economy. These areas
allow our City to provide excellent service at reasonable
taxes. Without this economic growth, no City can provide
service without seeking higher taxes.
1991 1992
Single Family Permits 174 298 +71%
$19,733,075 $30,872,873 +56%
Commercial Permits 216 227 + 5%
$33,385,007 $20,706,348 -38%
Citizens need to understand that we must keep an equal balance
between residential and commercial growth. If we continue to grow
in the residential area and decrease in commercial growth, your
taxes will eventually go up. Residential taxes alone will not
sustain service delivery costs.
1991 1992
Misc. Permits: 145 177 +22%
$ 1,864,952 $ 3,040,668 +63%
(These include single
family remodel, fill
& grading permits)
Total Permits 535 702 +31A
Total Valuation $54,983,034 $54,619,880 - 1%
Our tax rate, including fire and wastewater, is still very low
compared to other jurisdictions in this region. $4.94
In 1992, we accomplished some significant projects in our Public
Works and Engineering Departments:
• Major improvements to Alfred Street drainage.
• Improvements to 87th Street drainage.
• Completion of road bond projects.
• Compliance with USA/DEQ/EPA requirements at a higher
level than other area cities.
In solid waste:
• Tigard complied with DEQ/-Metrols five-year waste
reduction plan.
• Also established magazine and milk jug recycling at
curbside.
Our Library was very active in 1992:
( • We also had a change in leadership in our Library. Irene
Ertell retired and Kathy Davis took the helm.
• The Library employed several high school and college
students as interns, including PCC students and
participation in the Private Industry Council's Summer
Youth Employment and Training Program.
• Our Library was used for the public service announcement
advertisement performed by the Portland Trailblazers and
featuring Terry Porter.
• George Anne Miller chaired "A Storybook Christmas" at the
Pittock Mansion. The theme promoted books and libraries
and was implemented by Friends of the Library groups in
the tri-county area.
• We completed a "C D Rom" workstation project with nine
data b?sQs for public use.
• A successful collaboration with George Fox College where
Tigard Library is a satellite for their MBA students
gaining two data bases for Library patrons and additional
financial and business information.
These were just a few of the accomplishments and changes in our
public library.
The City Council continued to be active in all regional issues
confronting our citizens. Issues resolved in 1992 included:
• Adoption of a Community Commercial plan and zone
designation.
• Completion of six development brochure handouts and site
plan handouts for public use.
• Revised temporary sign requirements.
• Revised home occupation requirements and process.
• Revised fence requirements.
• Revised parking lot standards.
• Continuing to work on streamlining our Community
Development Code.
• Continuing to work on regional water problems, and
presently working with the Tigard Water District and
neighboring communities on water issues.
• Continuing to work on transportation, solid waste, and
environmental issues mandated by state and federal
agencies.
• Continuing to work on issues related to Highway 99W, as
well as the Western Bypass.
• We are in the process of changing our citizen
participation structure:
Changes in NPOs and other citizen groups are
underway in order to bring our citizen
participation structure into the realities of the
90's.
The Council's work for 1993 and beyond will become more critical as
the region continues to grow and change. Our Council will be
taking part in more regional and state issues.
More demands will be placed on our staff. Communication and
training will need to increase in order to keep up Faith the rapid
change.
The next four years will see a arAAt deal of F change in how We do
business and govern. My challenge, as Mayor, will be to make sure
we always go forward in our thinking. We cannot afford to be
individuals. As leaders, we will need to work as a solid unit,
making our decisions for the benefit of the whole. We will need to
prioritize in order to accomplish our mission of providing the best
basic services to our citizens.
In closing, I would like to recognize our employees who do
outstanding work for our community:
• Once again, I would like to express my thanks to Pat
Reilly, our City Administrator.
Without Pat's leadership, we could not have accomplished
what we have in the past several years. Pat has placed
our City at the head of municipalities in this region,
both from a fiscal perspective and from an efficient one.
• Let me also say thank you to Pat's outstanding staff:
Kathy Davis Library Director
Janice Deardorff Personnel Director
Loreen Edin Acting Public Works Director
Ron Goodpaster Chief of Police
Wayne Lowry Finance Director
Ed Murphy Community Development Director
Liz Newton Community Involvement Coordinator
Cathy Wheatley City Recorder
Randy Wooley City Engineer
• Thank you all citizens who serve on our many boards
and committees, and all those who have contributed time
and effort to make Tigard a better community in which to
live and work.
• And finally, thank you, the citizens of Tigard who have
supported me in my position as Mayor. serving you is an
honor.
• Thanks to my wife, Laurel, who has supported me for the
past 8 years while I have served on the cil and as
Mayor. /
• Thank you all!

CITY OF TIGARD
OREGON
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY... JANUARY 12, 1993
Patrick J. Reilly, City Administrator
1992 was a busy year for the City of Tigard.
A variety of initiatives were launched and work on them is now
underway. The following is a sampling of the most significant.
COMMUNITY POLICING-the department has been developing its
community policing strategy, trying to alter the traditional
practice of react and report and move towards community
problem solving.
REVIEW OF ANNEXATION POLICY ...the Council has completed its
review of long standing policies and is preparing to pursue a
more proactive strategy.
BROADENING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION the Council is continuing
its review of our practices and structures and is seeking to
develop mechanisms to broaden public participation, especially
on those matters which touch upon our quality of life.
TRIANGLE LAND USE...the Council has adopted a land use plan
for the triangle, which has been the subject of extensive
public scrutiny and which is not without dispute. The
implementation phase is in its earliest stages. The plan the
City adopts will create new opportunities and will position
the C?.ty long term for light rail and transportation
improvements.
WASHINGTON SQUARE/LINCOLN City fReu4SPORTATION STUDY... through
public-private partnership, a short range transportation study
has started.
We also witnessed work on projects started in prior years. The
following are representative of our efforts:
TRANSPORTATION BOND ISSUE ...the final projects have been
completed. The bond issue was managed well and the projects
identified have been constructed.
WATER... the City is working with the Tigarca 'H'ater District and
the Cities of King City and Durham towards the formation of a
joint water agency. This is the first step towards protection
! of local governance of water and having one water purveyor for
the City.
13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-415.1 TDi (503) 684-2772 -
® SOLID WASTE. . .much work was u?i~vt~d on succcssfully
renegotiating the franchise.
PARK LEVY IMPROVEMENTS continue.
99 W TASK FORCE...the task force has continued its work,
recommending interim improvements and a longer term subarea
analysis, which will look for alternative traffic corridors.
In the meantime, the task force will begin working on a study
to determine the role 99W should play in Tigard.
The City remained fiscally prudent and healthy this past year.
Operating expenditures increased less than 1% when considered on a
per capita basis, or less than 5% overall. The personnel cap was
maintained for the third year. The budget is in accord with the
five-year plan, developed as the basis for the 1990 tax base
update.
The city continues to grow. Popula4-ion increased by an estimated
3%. The assessed value exceeds $2 billion, over 5% growth.
Regional involvement continues to increase. Prompted by Measure 5"s
adoption, the organization as well as the Council has devoted
substantial time responding to initiatives of others.
' Unfortunately, much of our energies have been wasted on poorly
conceived initiatives which do not stand the test of scrutiny.
1992 witnessed several events which will doubtless shape the next
several years. I predict that the following three regional issues
will dominate 1993:
METRO CHARTER ...now that we have a home rule charter, the
charter must be implemented. Cities in the region will be
watching this process with interest.
WESTERN BYPASS STUDY... is approaching the key decision point
sometime this next year. Much effort has gone into the study
to date.
2040...the first phase of the region wide look at land use has
been completed. Alternatives have been identified. Now the
study will become more detailed and analytical. Once again, we
will need to be involved to have an impact.
We will be confronted with a host of other issues as well. Voters
will be given the opportunity to re-authorize the Washington County
Cooperative Library System Levy as well as decide whether to
purchase and renovate the Commercial Street Fire Station into a
Community Center. The school district will be grappling with
significant financial challenges. The fire district will be
constructing a new fire station. The Tigard Water District will be
seeking to increase water supplies. USA will discuss the continuing
}
environmental requirements in the Tualatin River Basin and whether
or not to tie sanitary sewer rates to domestic water consumption. '
Solid waste mandates °vill continue to determine our practices and
rates.
1993 will be a year of transition for the City of Tigard. Three of
the councilors were not on the Council a year ago. The newer
members bring new ideas and perspectives. The blending of the new
and the old should allow the City to maintain its legacy, while
reinvigorating its processes.
We say good by to Councilors Johnson and Kasten who served their
community well. I assume they will maintain their civic spirit and
community involvement and that we will see them from time to time.
The City of Tigard government remains a service organization. Our
mission is to enhance the quality of life for our community. The
staff remains committed to service excellence. We pledge to do our
best.
On behalf of the staff, I look forward to working with the Council
and the Tigard citizenry during 1993. I am sure that it will be a
productive and interesting year.
