Hawley, Paul Hunt. Staff Present: Patrick Reilly, City Administrator; Ed Murphy,
Community Development Director (arrived at 6:52 p.m.); Liz Newton, Community
Relations Coordinator; Tim Ramis, Legal Counsel; Catherine Wheatley, City
Recorder; and Randy Wooley, City Engineer.
STUDY SESSION
Library Remodel Review: Library Director, Kathy Davis, reviewed Library Expansion plans.
Bid opening is tentatively scheduled for September 8. Completion by Thanksgiving is the
goal.
At the same time, the remodel to the Police Department entrance will be done. Also, the
entire building will be recaulked and painted. Paint swatches for color selection will be
place on the back exterior wall of City Hall.
Traffic Impact Fees: City Engineer Wooley gave a brief explanation of the Traffic Impact
Fee (TIF) rules on how the dollars can be spent once collected by the City. A series of
conditions must be met: 1) TIF projects must be on an approved project list. 2. Projects
must be related to growth. 3) Eligible projects must be a component of ultimate total
street improvement (growth related). 4) The list can be changed, but it must be shown
that something has changed (i.e., a change in the Comprehensive Plan. 5) The center
28 feet are not eligible (on existing street) for TIF funds.
(Community Development Director arrived: 6:52 p.m.)
Agenda Review: Council briefly reviewed the Council agenda. Councilor Hunt advised he
would be asking that Consent Agenda Item 3.5 be pulled for separate discussion and
consideration. City Administrator Reilly advised that Councilor Schwartz requested the
deliberation on the Gage property (request for formation of an LID) be postponed until
August 24, 1993. In response to Councilor Fessler, City Administrator Reilly advised staff
was sorting through the signatures in an effort to determine which residents were in favor
of the LID and those who were opposed. If less than 50% of the affected property
iz, CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - August 10, 1993 - PAGE 1
owners have signed the petition in favor, Council would then consider whether to initiate
the LID process by their own action. Another option would be to vote to suspend the LID
process as this time. A third option was identified which would give an additional time
period for collection of signatures to determine whether, in fact, 50% of the affected
property owners were in favor of the LID.
Goal 5: Councilor Hunt noted he was concerned with the process on Goal 5. He
requested that time be set aside to discuss Goal 5 in order for Council to gain a better
understanding of where the City was in complying with Goal 5. City Administrator Reilly
advised many of these questions should be answered at the workshop scheduled for next
week with the Planning Commission. City Attorney Ramis will explain the process for
Goal 5 compliance in conjunction with the periodic review process.
Tigard Country Daze: Carnival will not be held at the Payless parking lot site. Request
has been submitted to the Joint Water Board for permission to hold carnival on the
JWA/TWD parking lot. (Note: Joint Water Agency Board approved later in the week
the carnival will be held at the Joint Water Agency/TWD building.)
Tigard Farmers Market was a great success!
MPAC Update: Councilor Fessler updated and asked for comments on the proposal that
Multnomah County release to Metro the responsibility for County cemeteries, parks, the
Expo Center, and Glendoveer Golf Course.
Meeting with Metro Representatives: Mayor Edwards reported he attended a recent lunch
meeting at the request of Metro Presiding Officer Judy Wyers. Also present were Metro
Councilors Devlin and Kvistad, and the Mayors of King City and Durham. The purpose
was to broaden communication.
Council Meeting Recessed at 7:22 p.m.
Council Meeting Reconvened at 7:30 p.m.
BUSINESS MEETING
VISITOR'S AGENDA
• Mary Phyllis Baumer signed in to testify on the Visitor's Agenda. Ms. Baumer
indicated she did not wish to testify at this time.
Bob Cameron, 215 S. Grant Street, Newberg, Oregon, advised he and his wife
own Rusty's Resale in the Tigard Plaza. He reported problems with theater
patrons parking in the Plaza lot making it difficult for his patrons to find a parking
place. Councilor Hawley suggested that Mr. Cameron approach other merchants
in the Plaza to work out some kind of reciprocal agreement. Mayor said he did not
( CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - August 10, 1993 - PAGE 2
think this was an appropriate issue for the City to be involved in. He said these
were private businesses on private property and enforcement of parking should
come from the owners. He urged Mr. Cameron to contact the manager and/or
owner of the Tigard Plaza.
Julian Kaasa, 7914 SW Churchill Way, Tigard, Oregon, testified regarding the Gage
Natural Area Proposed Local Improvement District. He noted the confusion with
the number of petitions being circulated for and against the LID proposal. He
suggested that the City circulate its own petition. He noted appreciation of Chief
Goodpaster's response to his concerns with regard to crime and/or misconduct
relating to the Gage property.
Linda Merriman, 8438 SW Ashford, Tigard, Oregon, 97224, also testified on the
Gage issue. She concurred that it may be beneficial for the City to circulate a
separate petition. She noted her success in obtaining signatures in one afternoon
from those who opposed the LID proposal. She said that she felt she had been
misled with the original petition asking for support. She advised she believed,
when she signed the supportive petition, that there would minimal costs associated
with upkeep and did not understand that this was a request to help purchase the
property as well.
She noted concerns with the change in boundaries and advised that her house
was as far away as those who were later deleted from the proposed LID area.
g. In response to inquiries from Councilor Hawley, Ms. Merriman responded she did
not want to participate in the acquisition of the Gage property nor did she want the
City to investigate further (i.e., Engineering Report) the costs and feasibility of the
proposal.
Gena Corbet, 13450 SW Watkins, Tigard, Oregon, 97223, inquired about funds
(TIF or gas tax) to be used for construction pedestrian walkways in the
Watkins/Park neighborhood. Mayor advised Ms. Corbet many of her questions
will be answered later in the meeting (see Agenda Item No. 6)

road construction is imminent because of development. Triad development will help pay
for this roadway if and when they receive final approval. The Planning Commission will
hold a public hearing on this issue on Monday, August 16.
City Administrator Reilly advised that further discussions of this issue should be held in
Executive Session under the ORS provision for the acquisition of real property. If it is
determined Council wishes to make a decision on Item 3.5 after the Executive Session,
Council would reconvene into regular session to make this decision.
4. UPDATE/REPORTS FROM STAFF - COUNCIL DISCUSSION:
4.1 Hart Property Update
Community Development Director Ed Murphy advised Mrs. Hart has
volunteered to have the floodplain delineated on her property. No additional
trees have been removed; erosion control is in place; and wood chips will
be removed. The Code Enforcement Officer will return to the site on
August 17 to observe whether the debris has been removed.
Mr. John Rankin, 22151 SW 55th Street, Tualatin, Oregon, 97062, attorney
for Mrs. Hart, advised on behalf of Mrs. Hart that sl-a has been a good
citizen and never intended to create a controversy. He said she intends to
comply with City requirements. He confirmed that she intends to delineate
the floodplain. He noted fill dirt is piled on what was the bank of the
preexisting pond. Mr. Rankin asked that Mrs. Hart be given permission to
have a one-time access through the park to run a wood chipping truck to
her property to chip the debris. There were no objections from Council.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the Council initiate proceedings to legalize portions of the Right-of-
Way for S.W. 93rd Ave. and S.W. 112th Ave and set a public hearing date for
September 28, 1993.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution to start the
legalization process and set a hearing date.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
1. Right-of-Way for S.W. 93rd Ave.
In 1980 the City of Tigard approved a Minor Land Partition. As a
condition of the development the applicant was required to provide the
necessary right-of-way for the east half of S.W. 93rd Ave. Due to changes in
ownership of the land the correct right-of-way dedication documents have
never been recorded. Currently there is a paved road within the proposed
right-of-way that is being maintained by the City and used by the general
public.
2. S.W. 112th Ave.
In 1970 the City of Tigard approved a Site Development Review. As a
condition of the development the applicant was required to provide the
necessary right-of-way for S.W. 112th Ave. Due to changes in ownership of
the land the correct right-of-way dedication documents have never been
recorded. Currently there is a paved road within the proposed right-of-way
that is being maintained by the City and used by the general public.
State law (ORS 223.935(1)) provides procedures for cities to legalize a
right-of-way. In addition, the legalization process requires the City to
survey the road, file a written report and hold a public hearing.
n
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the attached resolution initiating legalization proceedings and
setting a public hearing date for September 28, 1993.
2. Amend the resolution.
3. Postpone any action to resolve existing right-of-way questions.
FISCAL NOTES
The necessary survey work, to establish the right-of-way, will cost
approximately $6,000.00 and will be funded from the Engineering Department
budget for professional services.

INFORMATION SUMMARY
SEE ATTACHED MEMO TO COUNCIL DATED JULY 29, 1993, WHICH WAS INCLUDED WITH THE
7/29/93 COUNCIL NEWSLETTER.
The City has received an LID interest petition requesting the City to
investigate the feasibility of forming a local improvement district to
acquire a four acre parcel as a "neighborhood nature site". The attached
(SEE PACKET FROM JULY 27TH) Preliminary Evaluation Report discusses the LID
process, the attributes of the site, the proposed assessment district,
estimated costs, possible methodologies for benefit assessments, and the pros
and cons of formation. A Preliminary Engineer's Report would provide more
detailed information on the physical and financial aspects of the project.
This Preliminary Engineer's Report would come back to the City Council and
would include a preliminary assessment roll. At that time Council would
decide whether or not to proceed with a notified public hearing on the
proposed LID.

FISCAL NOTES
The cost of the Preliminary Engineer's Report is estimated to be about $1,400
for an appraisal of the property plus staff time. These costs would be
assigned to the LID, and recoverable if the LID is formed.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Mayor Edwards and members of the City Counci
FROM: Ed Murphy, Director of Community Developmen
DATE: July 29, 1993
SUBJECT: Gage property Local Improvement District
This memo is to advise you of a technical concern about the
proposed LID for the Gage property.
In the staff report in your packet, staff reported that owners of
slightly less than 50% of the tax lots within the proposed LID
boundary had signed a petition in favor of moving forward to the
next step. This percentage included subtracting out those lots in
the area around Churchill Drive who petitioned against the LID. We
also said in the staff report that we would recommend proceeding
with the LID to the next step, subject to receiving additional
signatures that would move the percentage up to at least 50%. We
advised Mrs. Gage and other supporters of the LID that they would
have to bring in more signatures prior to the Council meeting of
July 27th.
As you will recall, Mrs. Gage brought in a petition Tuesday night
at the Council meeting signed by six property owners. Based on
that, I told. the Council that we had received signatures on
petitions which would represent just over 50% of the tax lots
within the proposed LID-counting the six that had just been
submitted. That would have been the case, had all six signatures
represented additional tax lots.
As it turns out, upon checking the next day, all six of the
signatures represented tax lots that had already been counted, or
which are outside of the proposed LID Boundary.
Meanwhile, two additional property owners expressed to staff at the
meeting their support for moving forward.
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?
As of the Council meeting on Tuesday, July 27th, Council had
received indications of support of gathering more information from
owners of 474; of the tax lots, not counting the six names submitted
by Mrs. Gage, and counting the two tax lots whose owners indicated
support at the meeting.
Approximately 24$ have expressed opposition, including particularly
the area around Churchill and the remaining 29$ have not yet
declared either support or opposition.
IS THIS IMPORTANT?
In a broad sense, the petition is only a preliminary expression of
interest, asking the Council to allow the staff to gather more
information. So in that sense, there was at one time 58%
interested, which drops to 48% at latest count. And with 24%
definitely opposed. In that sense, there appears to be enough
support to warrant spending more time and public funds on this LID.
In a technical sense, however, the LID ordinance requires that
property owners interested in proceeding hold more than 50% of the
property estimated to be benefitted before the Council proceed to
the preliminary engineer's report stage. I would interpret this to
mean that owners of 50% of the tax lots in the preliminarily
proposed boundary have expressed interest. As mentioned previously,
the actual percentage is 47%.
CAN THIS TECHNICAL FLAW BE CORRECTED?
Yes, by two different methods.
The Council could pass a new resolution initiating the LID itself.
Or the City can ask the supporters to submit more signatures to get
to at least the 50% mark. (The problem I see with the second choice
is that the ownership within the neighborhood keeps changing, and
individuals change their minds. And this petition gathering process
has been going on for a couple years, and is a now a source of
conflict within the neighborhood).
Recommendation:
Council should adopt a new Resolution on Aug 10th correcting the
technical deficiency, and allowing the process to continue. This
way, the technical flaw is corrected, the City can proceed to
gather more information. Ultimately, subject to Council wishes, the
neighborhood will have a public hearing on the subject, and the
issue will be settled.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

RE: Gage Property Situation
Dear Mayor:
I am ;writing to express the feelings of our household
regarding the proposed greenway at the end of Bond and
Churchill Streets.
My husband and I purchased our home in December, 1992
and were unaware of the Gage property problem wherein they keep
trying to get the City of Tigard to purchase their property.
We do not want to pay the City of Tigard for this property when
we feel it is a bad idea to make it into a greenway.
j Since the property is at the end of our street, we
will gain no advantage if this area is made into a greenway.
Matter of fact, we feel it would be a disadvantage to us to
have this area developed with walkways. It would definitely
bring more foot traffic down our street from Tigard High School
students. As it is now, we are constantly picking up trash
left behind and disappointed by the people who pick the flowers
in our yard.
We feel that if the City of Tigard wants to develop
the subject property, the homeowners whose property backs up to
it should be the ones paying for its development. They are the
ones that now now have the open space and are enjoying it.
I hope you will take into account our negative
feelings when you vote on this subject. We will be very
disappointed if the City of Tigard votes to purchase the
property from the Gage sisters.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Edwards,

When the person first came around with the petition regarding
the Gage property, we were very careful to find out if signing this
petition indicated assent or approval on our part, as to taking
part in acquiring the Gage property. If it had truly meant that,
none of us would have signed. The petition assured us that it
meant only that we would be given information. When a meeting was
announced, only three of us received a notice.
Imagine our chagrin when we went to the meeting, to be shown
a chart that indicated by colored-in spaces that we supported the
petition to acquire the Gage property. This was not suppose to be
the case. When we remonstrated this, only the Baumers and the
Kaasas were removed from the chart.
Therefore, as a result of this misunderstanding, I asked both
Mr. Murphy and the other person who showed slides at the last
meeting if we, on Churchill Way, 80th between Churchill Way and
Bond Street, and Bond Street between 79th and 80th could secede.
These gentlemen told me that if I got 100 percent of the people in
our neighborhood that this could happen, just as the Ashford Oaks
section had done previously. Mr. Murphy also was very adamant that
there was a deadline of July lst for any petition and that nothing
would be accepted after that.
I fulfilled these requirements totally. I did ask if more
signatures would be required, but was told that since it involved
just this neighborhood that only those would be necessary. Why,
then, were six more signatures accepted for Miss Gage at the
council meeting? These should be invalid.
We are at a great loss to understand how Mr. Murphy can
arbitrarily make the decisions to include our neighborhood in the
boundaries for the Gage property. Our request for not being
included in the acquisition of the Gage property, and fulfillment
of the petition criteria are the same as Ashford Oaks, so why are
we forced to remain while they are out? We understood that our
being in or out should be up to the City Council. We also feel
very much "had" by being cuckolded into signing a petition under
false pretenses.
At the meeting before the City Council meeting, Mr. Murphy
"just happened" to find Mike Najewicz's letter. That letter had
been in his hands since 11:00 a.m. the preceding day when Mike
faxed it so that the City Council members would have time to read
it before the meeting.
Mr. Murphy also said that he didn't know if the property was
for sale - this was amply discussed at the first meeting and he
knew the answer. He also knew why the Churhill, Bond, 80th Ave.
area opted out, because I had discussed this with him at great
length prior to the meeting
our neighborhood would receive no benefits from that property.
Some of us are elderly and retired, some young people just
scratching by. One young man cried when I took the petition
around. He would have to sell and move. None of us would let our
children go into the park area.
With the convenience store so close by on Hall Blvd., High
School kids already frequent the area. One family moved because a
stalker used the proposed park property as an access to their
house. Mr. Murphy has a list of the crimes'in this area - broken
into cars, burglaries, etc. We are categorically opposed to being
taxed for the buying and upkeep of this park area.
Please continue to work to end this project. It is not
wanted, not needed, and not proper.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mary Phyllis Baumer

City Council meeting indicates that the number of owners expressing interest in
getting more information is, in fact, less than 50%.
Given this circumstance, City Council is scheduled to reconsider its authorization for
the Preliminary Engineer's Report at its regular 7:30 PM meeting on August 10th.
Staff recommends that Council re-approve proceeding to the Preliminary Engineer's
Report by initiating the formation of the district and authorizing the preparation of
the Preliminary Engineer's Report on its own motion.
Although the LID discussion presently is set for August 10th, Councillor Schwartz,
because he will be unable to attend the August 10th meeting, has asked that this
discussion be re-scheduled to August 24th. Therefore, the LID discussion may or may
not take place on the 10th as scheduled. If Council does decide to postpone the
discussion as requested, the new date will be listed in the meeting notice section of
the Tigard Times.
The format of the August 10th or a later City Council discussion will be the same as
for the July 27th discussion. This is not a public hearing and no time is set aside for
formal public testimony. However, you may wish to be present to hear the points
raised. A public hearing is provided for later in the LID process, if City Council
decides to consider establishing an improvement district.
Copies of the most recent staff report are available at no charge at City Hall, 13125
SW Hall Boulevard. Examination copies are available at the Tigard Public Library.

TIGARD POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ronald D. Goodpaster11~p
Chief of Police
DATE: August 9, 1993
SUBJECT: The Proposed Gage LID
I have received a copy of incidents of breaking of laws in the last
8 years in the neighborhood of Gage property that was distributed
to the Council on 7-29-93.
I have contacted the author of that, Mr. Duke Kaasa, and discussed
these incidents with him to obtain more information so that I could
research them in relation to the Gage property.
Item number 1 referenced an attempted rape of an 11-year old girl.
This was an attempted kidnap of a 13-year old female on 79th near
Durham that occurred March 1, 1991.
The second topic was an exposure on Bond Street. This occurred in
the 8000 block of SW Bond on March 24, 1993, and an arrest was made
in the case.
The third item was five or more cars that had been broken into. In
checking the files, using the boundary of the proposed LID, I found
that there were approximately 7 vehicles that had been broken into
in the area.
The fourth item referred to 3 homes that had been broken into and
merchandise stolen. In talking with Mr. Kaasa, these occurred in
the general 76th and Bond area. One occurred approximately 5 to 6
years ago; one occurred approximately 3 to 4 years ago; and one
occurred more recently.
The fifth item listed was a reference to marijuana and drug use in
the 4 acres of the Gage property. In talking with Mr. Kaasa, the
primary concern regarding drug use was identified to a house that
was not adjacent to the Gage property and approximately two blocks
away. After reviewing the criminal reports and non-criminal
reports for calls for service in the proposed Gage LID boundary
area, I could find no reported incidents of suspected narcotic
activity in the Gage property.
The seventh item listed referred to the police being called many
times to disturbances at two homes, one on Bond and one on
Churchill Way. The police records show that we have residents on
those two streets that had domestic problems and also a juvenile
~2
problem.
The ninth item referenced a stolen vehicle and also in talking with oned in
the
10
item
car Mr. Kaasa was ed.saThisswasnalvehicle that was stol n, f om the
recovered stripp
7900 block of Bond.
In talking with Mr. Kaasa and after reviewing bthe etweenothem
incidents, I was not able to determine any connection
and the Gage property.
Mr. Kaasa stated there was a person that was "stalking" a resident `
that used the Gage property to conceal his movements.
He also referred to high school students using narcotics in the
property.
I checked our files and an unable to locate reports on these
incidents. I tried to contact the victim of the "stalking"
incidents (who now lives out of state) unsuccessfully.

Re: Gage Property LID
Dear Mayor Edwards,
This letter is written in support of formation of a Land Improvement District in reference to the
Gage property located in the area of Ashford Oaks in Tigard, Oregon. As residents of the
area, with our home immediately abutting the Gage property, both my wife and I are in favor of
formation of the LID in an attempt to maintain the Gage property in its present "natural" state.
At the informational meeting held to discuss the procedure of forming an LID, most of the
opponents of this project were vocalizing opposition based on concern that making this area a
natural park would significantly increase the traffic pattern and increase crime in the area. I
have no idea what they base their concerns on, as the area would not change significantly
from its current state and over the last two years living adjacent to this property I have seen no
crime and little human activity occurring in this small area. I feel the opponents to the project
have brought up these emotion-evoking concerns to try to defeat this project. I would say that
developing this site with multi-family dwellings would do much more to increase traffic and
crime; so these individuals should actually be supporting the LID.
As we see more and more areas with natural vegetation and animals being cleared for housing
developments, we are loosing the "country" atmosphere that makes Tigard such a great place
to live. The Gage property is a natural, beautiful little area that adds some distinction to our
neighborhood and the loss of this area would certainly be felt by all. A natural park would
serve to maintain the atmosphere that we currently enjoy.
We are committed to the formation of the LID and understand that there is a financial
commitment that would be incurred should it come to fruition. We would gladly welcome this
obligation as we feel it was preserving the "refuge" from the big city housing tracts. We hope
you will carefully consider the value this natural park will in terms of the livability of the City of
Tigard.

Please consider this my formal request that City Council adopt a
resolution directing staff to prepare a Preliminary Engineer's
Report regarding the feasibility of providing a nature preserve
and adjacent half street and sidewalk improvements through a
Local Improvement District for the Gage property. This natural
area was the single-most important factor in my determining to
purchase the home and property adjacent to the Gage property.
Its preservation is of utmost importance to me. Thank you for
your consideration.

I am writing to urge you to move forward with the Preliminary
Engineer's Report for the "Gage Woods" LID.
It is my belief that the neighborhood has followed the
appropriate proceedure to date and that the report should be prepared.
As you know, the LID proposal has proven controversial. My
understanding is that in recent weeks, heavy personal lobbying has
caused a number of people who originally supported the LID to
change their position. Clearly, we can chase the issue back and
forth as long as anyone has the energy to continue twisting arms.
My point is that it would be best for the community to complete
the Preliminary Engineers Report which was called for by a majority
of property owners in the area. This report would give us all a
factual basis for evaluating the proposal. As things stand, there
is considerable confusion regarding the precise nature of the proposal
and its costs. This confusion provides ample opportunities for
mis-information and shifting opinion in the community.
To some of us, the process looks like the proverbial shifting
bar in the high jump. We believe that we presented a majority petition
to the council.and that on that basis, the process should move to the
next step. Now, we find that the process seems stalled because some
have been persuaded to change position. I believe that there is
ample room in the process for objections to be raised. We should be
allowed to move on to that stage.
Please consider this issue carefully. I believe that we have
an opportunity to materially enhance the quality of life in our
community. We are asking you to give us the chance to make a clear
case to our neighbors. The Preliminary Engineer's Report will help
us to achieve that.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Engineer's Report on Gage Open Space
Dear Mayor Edwards:
We are writing to express our strong support for these actions:
* A preliminary engineer's report be completed on the four acre
Gage parcel
* A public hearing be conducted on the proposed LID (Local
Improvement District)
Due to the rule that public testimony was not allowed during the 27
July City Council meeting, we are writing to express our views. We are the
original owners of 8060 SW Churchill Ct. and our property directly abuts
the Gage parcel.
We have supported the "neighborhood nature site" concept since its
origin several years ago. The reasons we support the concept include:
* It's our best chance to keep a road from being constructed
through the Gage property (thus making Bond a through street
with consequent traffic problems)
* It creates a beautiful walking site that increases the living
quality of our neighborhood.
* It avoids alternative high density housing like apartments with
an increased likelihood of crime and traffic problems.
* It preserves wetland, trees, plants and birdlife in an
increasinly congested, urbanized city.
We understand and appreciate the Council's sensitivity to levying a
tax on taxpayers who do not support the LID. However we are greatly
distressed to see that the Council is considering stopping the public
hearing process simply because a few vocal opponents are putting pressure
on the Council.
It is appearing to us that signatures on the opposition petition
(withdrawing names originally signed on to the expression-of-interest
petition) may not at all reflect a true opposition to the LID. In the past
week or so we ourselves went to five homes that signed the opposition
petition simply to ask them what they were told about the LID formation.
Some reported that they were told the LID would cost up to $1,800 per year
(not that sum over 10 years); that if they didn't sign the opposition
petition that there was no way to stop the LID from forming; that the LID
was inviting a hotbed of drug crime into our neighborhood; or that the
-t~
Gages were "unloading" this property because they couldn't sell it to a
developer. The first two reasons are simply false, the middle is an
opinion without any basis in fact (contradicted by Tualatin's experience
with their Natural Park), and the last makes wild and nasty assumptions
about the Gages' motivations. None realized that the park might be the
only way to stop the city from building a road through the Gage property or
keeping an apartment complex from being built.
Of course we understand that there may be valid reasons to oppose
formation of an LID. But how can such opposition be formed before anyone
even knows the parameters or cost of the project? The Engineering Report
will give us these parameters and costs.
In short, people are simply not getting the facts about the process or
the substance of the park issue. Many people feel like only half truths
have been told them to date. It appears that almost everyone on both sides
of the issue is in favor of an open public hearing so that just the facts
about the LID can be presented.
Dorothy Gage has offered to pay the $1,400 for the Engineering Report,
so the City has no financial reason to hold up the Report. The citizens of
our neighborhood are owed the facts about the LID, presented in an unbiased
way by the city, before an accurate assessment of support or opposition can
be determined.
People are so frustrated with the uncertainty and rumors swirling
arouund this project that they just throw up their hands at the idea of yet
another petition. We urge you and the Council to establish a time and
place for an open public hearing on this matter to allow our neighborhood
to clear the air and exchange facts in a civil way.
Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter.

It has come to my attention that some property owners who
surround the property being considered for a greenspace natural
area, Looal Improvement District (LID), have been receiving
threatening, harassing 'phone calls. These have included personal
threats, obsoene remarks and intimidating statements.
I have suggested to these parties that they contact the
Tigard Police department and report these incidents. I have also
contacted the Tigard Police regarding the above and they confirmed
this aotion.
Three to date have been called to my attention. As a result
of these experiences, property owners, supportive of the LID
preservation of the property, are terrified at the prospect of
oiroulating more petitions among their neighbors. It was suggested
that we continue to oolleot signatures on behalf of the LID but
this turn of events has impeded these efforts. What actions can
be taken to put a stop to this insidious practice? It creates an
environment which negates the pursuit of data which as the caller
or callers intend causes interested parties as well as City Staff
to invoke caution at the expense of logic and reason.
Your attention to this assault on and perversion of the
democratic process is requested.

Dear City Council Members:
Aug. 8, 1993
We want the city council to be aware of our frustrations over the last 3 years in opposing
the Gage Park property purchase.
We feel angry so much of our time and energy has had to go into this matter, and now it
continues to be an issue.
For 3 years, petitions have been circulating for people to sign to "look into" forming an
LID, with the assurance that signing the petition won't cost anything. While, through our petition
efforts, our property is not in the proposed boundary anymore, the city proposes spending tax
dollars to study the Gage Park proposal. These are our tax dollars too, therefore we are loudly
objecting to this proposal.
We feel as though the Gage sisters have harassed our neighborhood with constant
badgering to purchase their property. We do NOT believe this is what was intended when the
LID portion of the city laws was formed. Why in the world would we want to purchase someone
elses back yard 8 blocks from us?
We are furious that private individuals can attempt to make neighbors purchase a piece
of property, in the name of "park" or "green space", or whatever they choose to call it.
In dealing with the city planners over the last 3 years, we are convinced that they very
much want the property, and would welcome the taxpayers to purchase it.
We are again submitting our petition, showing Thurston Lane's opposition, to remind the
Mayor and City Council we do NOT want any of our taxpayers money used to purchase, or study
the purchase of this property. Even though this is just the Thurston Lane petition, we are aware
of many other neighbors, closer to the Gage property, that are also very much opposed to this
LID.
Thank You,
Dave & Sue Seibold

PETITION TO EXCLUDE THE BELOW LISTED HOMES FROM ANY
FUTURE INVOLVEMENT OF PURCHASING THE GAGE PROPERTY.
There are 29 homes from the beginning of Thurston Lane off S.W.
79th, all of Thurston Lane to Ashford Street, that portion of
Ashford Street from where Thurston Lane dead ends into Ashford
Street, East on Ashford Street to S.W. 79th, and back to the
beginning point of Thurston Lane.
Those home owners that have signed below, are requesting the City
of Tigard to exclude our homes from any future involvement of any
kind in the possible purchase, or development of the Gage property.
We have no interest in this property, and do not want any of our
tax money spent on its purchase or development. This is the 3rd
try in the last year and half by Dorothy Gage to sneak the sale of
her property by the area home owners and we are tired of having to.
defend our rights as tax payers. It is for this reason we want
our area excluded from all future plans that she may have.

This letter is in opposition to the Gage property and in objection to the course of
events leading to this LID.
My objections are:
I feel it is unequivocally wrong that the appraisal fee for the Gage's selling of
their property is being paid for by tax money. The City of Tigard did not pay for
my appraisal fee. I feel this was a poor economic decision by counsel members.
I also feel it was wrong to change the boundaries after the petitions were in. This
served only to sway the percent of yes votes and was not in the interest of fairly
assessing the situation. Clearly the original outline contains houses affected by
the LID, which are now conveniently excluded from the planning process.
While some of us wanted to know more about the LID, I did not want it to
authorize a $2000.00 appraisal and who knows what else.
I question your calculations on the 50% rule. It would seem to be a more
representative assessment if you uding'houses othat did not vote from the totallor
yes 's and nos for the otal(xc
counting them as "no answer vote.").
I object to the Gage property as a natural area:
This area designated as park would be accessible to all Tigard residents and
there is no where to park except on the streets. I do not like the idea of non
neighborhood residents parking on the streets for safety and congestion
reasons. There are many small children in this neighborhood whose safety
would be compromised.
The natural area(Gage Property) is so close to the high school and secluded
enough that patrolling the area and providing supervision would be impossible.
This would create an ideal area for teens to loiter and create an environment
unsuitable for neighborhood residents and younger children.
/~7
And finally this proposal would impact us financially in two ways. Obviously the
first is increased property tax. Secondly, I feel our property values would suffer
IqW and make selling our homes difficult if the park becomes reputed to be a haven
for unsavory activity as well as a possible safety liability to the neighborhood.
I can understand the Gage's wanting to sell their property and the homeowners
wanting to preserve the woods behind their lots; but lets not bring the
surrounding neighborhoods into the sales arrangement.
e ainly their are better solutions.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
AGENDA OF: August 10, 1993 DATE SUBMITTED:
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Streets CIP Budget PREVIOUS ACTION:
PREPARED BY: Randy Wooley
DEPT HEAD OK _,L1kt,V CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Selection of remaining projects to be funded under the Streets CIP budget for
FY 1993-94.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Assign the remaining $40,000 in gas tax funding to be used for pedestrian
improvements in the Park/Watkins neighborhood. Direct staff to work with the
neighborhood to determine the precise improvements to be made, the goal being
to provide the greatest benefit to pedestrian safety with the funds
available.
2. Assign the remaining $44,000 of traffic impact fee funding to the design
of the 130th/Winterlake bridge connection.
f INFORMATION SUMMARY
At the July 13th meeting, the Council approved certain projects to be funded
by the CIP (capital improvement program) budget in the current fiscal year.
However, the Council deferred final decision on a portion of the Streets CIP
until additional information could be provided.
Attached is a memorandum providing additional information for Council
consideration.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly
FROM: Randy Woole
DATE: August 3, 1993
SUBJECT: Streets CIP
`6
At the July 13th meeting, the Council deferred the final decision
on project selection for the final $40,000 of gas tax funds and the
final $44,000 of TIF (traffic impact fee) funds. Here is some
additional information to assist in that decision, as requested.
Pedestrian volumes
Council has heard requests for pedestrian improvements on the
walking routes to two elementary schools. The attached letter from
Bud Hillman of the School District provides additional information
regarding pedestrian needs at the two schools.
Pathway Design
On the proposed pathway projects, we have only done a very
preliminary engineering review to determine a project budget.
Before selecting a specific project design, I would want to do a
more detailed review, including determining the location of
existing right of way and a review of drainage needs. During the
design process, we typically meet with residents to determine their
preferences and to find out which existing landscape features
(existing trees, etc.) are of especial importance to the residents.
This process has worked well on recent projects such as Bull
Mountain Road and the SW 96th walkway. However, because this
requires a substantial time commitment, we usually do not begin the
detailed process until a project has been funded.
Therefore, I recommend that details of the project not be specified
at this time. Precise locations of pathways, whether a roadway
shoulder or detached path, whether both sides of the street or one
side, would all be resolved through the design process and
neighborhood coordination. Council would still have final approval
in their role as Local Contact Review Board when requests are
submitted for authorization to advertise for bids and for bid
award.
TIF Restrictions
TIF is a countywide program under a County ordinance approved by
the voters. The cities must comply with the restrictions of the
County ordinance. Under the ordinance, TIF funds can only be used
on specific projects listed in the ordinance. The funds are
restricted to improvements that are part of the ultimate street
section needed to provide extra capacity to accommodate ad
traffic generated by area development. In aition, TIP ditfunds
cannot be expended on the center 28 feet of the street, except for
projects involving new streets or realignment of existing streets
(the theory being that the center 28 feet are not part of extra
capacity). In general, pathways do not qualify for TIP funds.
The selection of specific projects for TIP funding must be a
through a County approval process. In the past, this approval has
been a routine matter because proposed projects have clearly met
the TIP guidelines. Approval of pathway projects would be
questionable, since they may not meet the requirement to provide
extra capacity.
Park Street and Watkins Avenue are not eligible for any TIP
funding. SW 72nd Avenue pathways could
eligible for TIP funding; however, it would possibly ally
be diffibcultatolshow
that the project meets TIP guidelines.
Attachment No. 4 to my June 14 memo listed projects considered for
full or partial TIP funding. A copy is attached.
130th/Winterla1-e Bridae
Out of the potential TIP projects, I recommended the bridge as the
current highest priority. We have been receiving numerous
complaints about traffic in the area of Summerlake Park. Under the
master plan for the area, 130th Avenue is to provide a rimary
access route to the park and to the adjoining neighborhoods. The
bridge is needed to complete this access.
traffic is using local streets such as Brittany D ive toe reachgan
alternate access. Without a good access to the north, additional
traffic is using the south access on 128th Avenue. Residents of
these streets are concerned about traffic safety from the
additional through traffic in their neighborhoods.
This is still a growing neighborhood with increasing traffic.
Completion of improvements at Summerlake Park has also increased
traffic in the area. I hear more concerns about this area than any
of the other projects on the list of TIF-eligible projects.

Re: Pedestrian Improvements, Your Letter of 7/22/93
As requested the following information is provided
Number of walkers out of Park Street 25
Number of walkers out of Watkins 16
Number of walkers on north end of 72nd 0
As a priority listing the most urgent to the District is Park then Watkins.
The installation of sidewalks on 72nd is of a lower priority because there is no
way for students to cross this busy street to get to the school. We bus all
students that need to walk on 72nd north of the school. The "someday" solution
for the 72nd street area would be to sidewalk both sides of 72nd and at least one
side of the residential areas between Hampton and Atlanta on the east side of
72nd.

AGENDA OF: A , DATE SUBMITTED: &gu¢t 4 1993
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Metzger Park LTD PPREVIOOUSS ABCCTIONN:
DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY:
Should the City of Tigard allow the Metzger Park LID assessment to be levied
upon properties within the City?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
To modify resolution, providing for continuance of levy for a defined period
of time, allowing Metzger Park LID/Washington County the opportunity to seek
alternative revenue sources. I_would _recommend _three _years. INFORMATION SUMMARY
Attached please find correspondence from Washington County on this matter.
Staff has researched files and finds no commitment made at the successful
1987 annexation election with respect to the Metzger Park LID. Council did
adopt resolution prior to unsuccessful annexation election implying
continuance of LID.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt attached resolution prepared by Washington County. However,
Section 2 provides only limited protection for the City of Tigard in the
event of compression under the cap.
2. Modify attached resolution stipulating approval on an annual basis
only.
3. Modify attached resolution stipulating approval for a definite period of
time, allowing the pursuit of alternative revenue sources.
4. Reject the resolution, thereby excluding properties within the City from
the LID assessment.
FISCAL NOTES
There is no immediate financial impact on the city. Should the City
properties be retained within the LID, at the time of financial compaction
under the $10/$1000 property tax cap, then the City would be financially
impacted to some degree.

Patrick Reilly, City Manager
City of Tigard
P.O. Box 23397
Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Pat:
Enclosed is a Resolution for consideration by the City Council. If adopted, this
Resolution would provide the necessary approval of the City for the Metzger Park
LID assessment which is levied on properties within the City.
You will recall from our discussion that after Tigard requested properties within
the City be excluded from the district, County Counsel advised that the maximum
annual assessment established in the district subsequent to annexation should
have the approval of the Tigard City Council. Without approval by the City, the
operations and maintenance assessment levied on property within the City would
have to be reduced to the pre-annexation amount.
The 1988 annual maximum assessment of $40,500 currently provides two-thirds of
the operating revenue for Metzger Park. Reverting to the 1981 annual maximum
assessment of $27,000 would reduce the operating revenue by one-third. Such a
reduction in revenue would severely denigrate services of the Park's operation.
You have expressed Tigard's concern of the assessment's impact on the tax rate
and potential compression at the property tax limit. We estimate that the LID
assessment is $.095/$1,000 of the 1992-93 non-school tax rate of $7.20/$1,000
levied in Tigard. We have inserted language in the Resolution to address this
concern in the event the tax rate is projected to approach the $10/$1,000 limit.
The County would work with the City to resolve the problem so that the City's
ability to levy taxes within the limit would not be restricted in the LID
assessment.
As we discussed, this Resolution will be placed on the Council's August 9th
meeting agenda. The County will need to certify an assessment amount to the tax
assessor shortly thereafter. If you need any additional information, please
contact me.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF TIGARD APPROVING A LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT AND ASSESSMENT FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF METZGER
PARK
WHEREAS, in 1976 a local improvement district for the operation and
maintenance of Metzger Park was established by Washington County; and
WHEREAS, the City of Tigard annexed approximately 54% of the parcels in
the Metzger Park LID in 1987; and
WHEREAS, the maximum annual operations and maintenance assessment for
Metzger Park was increased to $40,500 in May, 1988 after annexation of
a portion of the district to the City of Tigard; and
WHEREAS, the LID assessment annually is charged against the non-school
taxing district's tax limit of $10.00 per $1,000 of assessed valuation;
and
WHEREAS, Washington County compiles a Tax Coordination Plan annually,
which in part forecasts the future tax rate for all non-school taxing
districts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that:
Section 1. The ongoing maximum annual operations and maintenance
assessment for Metzger Park in an amount not to exceed
$40,500 is hereby approved.
Section 2. In the event the Tax Coordination Plan forecasts the tax
rate within the City of Tigard nearing the limit, imposed
by Article XI, Section lib of the Oregon Constitution, by
reaching $9.00 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, the City
of Tigard will confer with Washington County to determine
a means by which the City of Tigard's ability to levy
taxes within the property tax limitation is not impeded
by the LID assessment for Metzger Park.

REQUESTED BY: Patrick J Reilly
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Tigard Council approve a resolution calling for a public hearing
to consider forwarding Charter amendments to the Tigard voters.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached resolution.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Charter Amendments:
Attached is a resolution setting an August 24, 1993 public hearing on Charter
Amendments. The amendments proposed are those which Council reviewed
July 13, 1993. At that time the amendments which remained
consideration by Council included: under
1. Eliminate mandatory appointment in the event of vacancy.
2. Eliminate mandatory election in the event of vacancy.
3. Repeal prohibition of interim appointment to vacancy from filing as
a candidate for the same Council position.
4. Delete resignation requirement to file as candidate with concurrent
term.
A proposal to alter the timing of the election of the Mayor, keeping the
four-year term, but having the election on an odd-numbered year (not when
electing a council member) was researched.
The Oregon State constitution allows cities latitude in most areas of
elections; however, Article II, Section 14a, specifically
Charters may override State requirements "except so far as they rel teato the
time of holding such elections." The Constitution sets forth that
"Incorporated cities and towns shall hold their nominating and regular
elections at the same time that the primary and general biennial elections
for State and county officers are held...
eThis lections to May and November of even-numbered ears. woAs a uld limit regular
side note, the
primary and general biennial elections do not cost cities anything.
other elections, cities must pay for a share of the election costs. For all
PROPOSEDALTERNATIVEG
1. Proceed with public hearing for the August 24, 1993 Council Meeting.
2. Discontinue consideration of Charter amendments at this time.
FISCAL NOTES
November 193 Election Costs:
Washington County is unable to give an estimate of costs for the November
election. Ginny Kingsley, Election Division manager, explained the expenses
for a mail-in election are primarily for personnel, printing, and postage.
If the State submits a sales-tax ballot title, Ms. Kingsley conjectured that
jurisdictions will opt not to place measures on this ballot. Voter turnout
for a sales tax measure, she predicted, will be very high and the County may
need an additional shift of workers to count the returns, making the cost of
this election higher than usual.
Costs are prorated among jurisdictions which have items on the ballot.
Therefore, if the turnout is high and only a couple of jurisdictions place
items on the ballot, the election will cost participants more than they would
customarily expect.

EXHIBIT oeAII
Proposed Amendments to Section 7 of the Charter:
1. Eliminate the second paragraph of Section 7, which requires that
any member of the Council wishing to seek a City office with a term
concurrent with the term of their existing office, submit a written
resignation at the time of filing for the other office.
2. Revise the third paragraph to eliminate the mandatory requirement
that the Council make an appointment or hold an election to fill a
vacancy of an unexpired term. Also the revision will eliminate the
requirement which prohibits an interim appointee from running for
that position. The suggested new section 7 is as follows:
"Section 7. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. The elective officers of
the city shall be a mayor and four councilors who together
shall constitute the City Council. At the general election
held in 1990 and every fourth year thereafter, a mayor shall
be elected for a term of four years. No councilor shall serve
the city as councilor for more than eight consecutive years,
nor shall the mayor serve as mayor for more than eight
consecutive years. In no case shall any person serve on the
City Council for more than twelve consecutive years. These
limitations do not apply to the filling of an unexpired term.
In the event the office of mayor or councilor becomes
vacant before the normal expiration of its term, a special
election may be held at the next available date to fill the
office for the unexpired term. Such an election shall only
take place if the Council can schedule and hold a special
election at least twelve months before the term would
otherwise expire. If an election is held, it shall be held in
accordance with the election laws of the State of Oregon and
city ordinance and not inconsistent with such election laws.
The Council may appoint a person to fill a vacancy until an
election can be held.11
