STUDY SESSION Gang Update - A gang update was presented by Chief 'Goodpaster and Officer Rick Peterson of the Tigard Police Departmen't. Chief Goodpaster introduced Officer Rick Peterson, who has worked with middle school children in the DARE program, as well as cooperating with the county-wide gang enforcement team. Officer Peterson presents intelligence reports back to the `Tigard Police Department on gang activity occurring throughout the county. Officer Peterson presented a series of photographs showing gang graffiti throughout the Tigard area. Since 1991 there has been growth in gang-related incidents. Chief Goodpaster and Officer Peterson referred to the names of the gangs that are now displaying their graffiti. They outlined the steps of gang activity, which generally begins with graffiti on buildings and other landmarks, which designates territory. As gang activity. escalates, other gangs will cross out and place their own graffiti over that of a rival gang. Eventually this could escaiate to fighting or the drive-by shootings that have been occurring in the Portland area. Officer Peterson advised that up until this iast year, Tigard was considered to be a neutral zone. There had only been a couple of incidents in the Tigard High School. Two houses have been identified as piaces where gang activity may be occurring. Also, there has been some indication of trouble at Washington Square. A new program to be implemented for school children is called "GREAT" (meaning Gang Resistance Education and Training). The purpose is to suppress gangs. Also important is the Neighborhood Watch Program to make people aware that th¢y should report everything they see that looks suspicious. In addition, the Police Department recommends immediate cover-up of graffiti with paint. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 11, 1994 - PAGE 1 Community Policing programs can be effective in dealing with gang activity. The Police ntanortm ant is looking at he oossinility of snNniting assistance from property owners and New apartment managers to identify potential gang members who may be causing problems. One method is to evict these people so they must move on. Chief Goodpaster noted the Police Department has been working with our City Attorney to develop a nuisance-house ordinance to deal with houses which maybe owner. Wy g~^g members. Of conceorn to the Police Department is the amount of manpower needed to monitor this situation. Mayor Edwards stressed that it was important to have someone from the Tigard Police Department involved in the county-wide gang resource activity. Mayor Edwards also said this participation could save money in the long run. During discussion, it was stressed that community education about monitoring gang graffiti and reporting suspicious activity was essential to controlling the escalation of gang problems. The Police Department will have a video program dealing with gangs for presentation and airing on cable TV in February and March. In addition, it was suggested presentations could be given at CIT meetings and articles could also be placed in the "Cityscape." Chief Goodpaster noted it was difficult to catch someone in the act. of spray painting graffiti. 1-5/217 Project Councilor Schwartz advised he recently met with the WCTCC group to talk about priorities of road construction projects in the area. He noted the 1-5/217 Kruse Way project was at the top of the list. The project was scaled back to $43 million and is now at $13 million. The Oregon Department of Transportation has done some of the engineering worm. ODOT feels they can do improvements to both the north and south lanes and widen the bridge. Members at WCTCC passed a resolution to support the proposal as presented. Councilor Schwartz noted he voted against the resolution, primarily because of the scale-back of the project. Councilor Schwartz also referenced several other projects slated for approval, including dollars to Tri-Mst for buses, and $17.9 million for pedestrian projects. The 99W/Hall Blvd. project has been deleted. This project could be funded if monies are left over from other projects. WCTCC recommends projects to JPACT. Continued efforts to place the 991N/Hall Blvd. project for funding will be made.

It says here that the Mayor gots to do a State of the City Address. I'm sure that everyone is here with all eagerness and waiting for that, Sind so I'll do that. Every year It's beer. my pleasure to do a State of the City for the City of Tigard and attempt t relie&_ on what took place over 1993 v✓ithin the City of Tigard, and also to inform our citizens on what we would project for 1994. I'll tell you that our population in 1093 grew by only 4.8%, and in 1993 our official census tells us that we now have 32,145 people in the City of Tigard. We also were fortunate enough to add over twelve acres of land to the City in 1993. Our single family construction rose by 51%, and the assessed increased by 56%. New multi-farnily units increased by some 293 units. The commercial valuation for new construction was up 196%. Over $22 million of that growth was a result of the remodel gokng on at Washington Square Shopping Center. The total valuation for the City of Tigard grew by 132%. Now these, ladies and gentlemen, are just a few statistics which, believa it or not, have a great deal of influence of how we operate this city. But what makes the city really function? Goals. are very important. The primary mission of the City of Tigard is to enhance the quality of life of its residents. Pursuant to this mission, the prior Councils adopted the fallowing seven broad goals, and this took place in 1989. And these were to guide the governance of this city. 1. To create a strong sense of identity. 2. To participate in issues impac=ting the well-being of our community. 3. To develop and maintain a positive corporate culture for this municipal organization. 4. To prudently manage the assets and the resources of the City. 5. To provide a level of service to our &fizens that enhances a high quality, comfortable, and safe living environment. 6. To strengthen the quality of interaction with our citizenry. Page 1 a n A i x_ z 1- ~~:.,.,.,e r, nnnnnrrly nnm enhanr_6 ene vitalfty of this To prori nutty ~~.var econv.. y communty. each year the Council selects certain projects which support those broader goals for a longer term goal in assigning the area of concentration which is of a priority status. In 1993, to incorporate 93 and 94 budgetary priorities and fiscal impacts, this Council gave the follmNing statement of priorities: To continue and pursue a water purveyor for the City of °rigard. This has begin accomplished. To develop a long term financial plan, including a capital improvement plan component. i his is being done, still being worked on, and is vital. Continue to implement a proactive annexation strategy towards the `Pair L t Island. This, unfortunately, has been. stalled.. Where it. goes from this point is a pretty good guess. Fully implement community involvements, and involvement teams, and organizations. We did this with the CIT init!a on and this is wall underway. Clarify board and committee roles subsequent to the enactment of the CIT's. This is in the process and mostly completed. Conduct a transportation study focused on local system improvements. This needs to become a greater priority. Develop a program for prospective community leaders, explaining what it takes to be a City Councilor. This needs to be done desperately, or I personally fear we will go backwards in our governance for local jurisdictions. .Page 2 moo= Raview the Development Code to increase protection of existing nalghborhoods - Biro Ohl auub new ss:.; enTiai dcae uvd0160NI-1 we et. This needs to be accomplished by logical thinkers and with input from both professions'. and private systems. It's vital that the process used for this be done by a program of people with more than one single issue at m.ihd. Assess status and complete an inventory.of the Goal 5 resources. This is underway and should have a great deal of input from persons with various views and issues. Many times it. tends to be addressed by vocal minorities who scream the loudest and cause radical change under a great deal of false premise and false alarm. Review the Cry Charter and conduct Charter Amendamni elections. This is being done. Inventory pedestrian bikeway needs on a ci:y-wide basis. Those are areas thst this Council determined would be priority. In 1993 we did implement a CIT program. This was a concept actually put together by myself and prior Councils, of which Councilor Schwartz was a part of. It's an effort to involve more cftizans in a broader range of issues. Through this program the City revised its- c:itizer. involvement. The CIT's expand the role of the old NPO, which were Neighborhood Planning Organizations, as well as standing boards and cornmittses. CIT's are grass root neighborhood groups established to educate citizens on issues and process; encourage citizens to address neighborhood problems and identify issues of concern; create better access to the decision-making process. Those are key issues in the development and continuance of local governance. Without that type of input, you will be regionaily governed, not locally governed. In 1M we also began some new areas of construction and some things that established some greater advantages and services to our citizens. Vide began construction of a new 1,300 fagot addition to the Library. That addition was made possible because of a $75,000 bequest from the estate of Mary Margaret Putil, a former Tigard resident. In 1993 our r Police Department received an Award for Excellence on Operation Slowdown. The aviard was given by the League of Oregon Gies to the City of Tigard. A Neighborhood Speed Watch program was implemented; a cable citizen satisfaction survey process was implemented; cable TV programming of Polices issues was implemented by volunteer City workers. Such programs as Community Policing, traffic issues, gangs, Neighborhood Watch and theft prevention were all aired on this cable program.

Oui Police Dtao Chief. Ron Goodpaster, is a departrnenit we can all be very proud of. In 1993 we completed improvements to bikepaths, footbridges and local park areas. We continue to provide services many cities have cut back on since Measure 5. We've done teat because we have been fiscally responsible for many, many years. We continued to work on solid waste issues, along with wastewater issues, and also long term water service and resources for the area, realizing the tremendous impact of reglonalization witn regards to water and what will impact our citizens over a long period of time with regards to water. Just some basic highlights. We asked Walnut Island residents if they wanted to annex. They said no. If I lived there, I'd probably say no too. We worked with ®D®T to agree joint studies of ways to improve 991aI Completed Coal 5 periodic review. We began to study and determine a significant forest area in ft City of 'Tigard. We had Cub Foods and Dartmouth Street approved and c*nstruc'ted, and we finally last week were able to cut the ribbon for Dartmouth, which took nine years to implement. Vve approved a 155,E square foot Costco; a Megafoods of 63,000 sgUare feet; reviewed and approved the construction of 649 new apartment units in three complexes; adoption of a new Community Commercial Zone regulation. Ladies and gentlemen, I could continue with more of the same statistics; however, I think you can see from what I've mentioned so far that the City is really a very busy place. And visa htavo managed to operate with a loan and competent staff of employees. We have kept w. th our overall en. ployee cap of 152.5 full-time employees, and that figure has not changed through 1991-92, will not change through 1993-94. Our total operating budget was 0.10,521,OM; our assessed value was over $2 billion; and per cm, is is the highest in the State of Oregon. The tax rate for 93-94; Tigard's tax rate was $2.77. You add the Fire District of $1.88 to that, and the We-ter District's at that time, which .08 cents; that rives you a total of $4.7'3 per thousand. I believe our taxpayers receive a high level of service Yor their tax dollar. I hope 1994 continues to be prcgressrve, as well as fiscally responsible. We owe a great deal of credit to our City AdministFator, Pat Reilly, and his excellent staff. They actually run the jay-to-day operatior°s. You have a form of goverriment that sets policy and give sorrie direction, but does not run the day-to-day operation. Now, ladies end gentlemen, I would like to make a few additional comments, to both you in the audience, to the Council here, and to the staff. You've just heard some highlights regarding the City of 'Tigard and Its operation. Let me te!i you that I came to Tigard In 1964. 1 was !born; in Portland in 1941 and was educated in the Portland school system. Am. Page 4 r I Moved to 'Tigard when the population was a pproyimately 2,0€ 0 people. I worked for the City in the Polio Department until 1974. 1 chose to live in this area and rNse my children here because I °r red to ids; tt;fy wii-b a small, c-c-ste-k-ni cornn2un!ty. I have seen Via area grog Into a suburban fast-paced bedroom community of a.large metropolitan city. Tigard has always been voile and at times very controverslai. And Wien you consider that It was incorporated by one voter it's remarkable it's accomplished what it has to this point. I've always been active and have never been afraid of good, consifuc con'croversy; in fact, probably too direct and too honest to be ara good politician and to go any further. I've been asked why don't you run for the county; why don't you run for the legislature; and I say the same thing over and over, because people don't like my direct approach; I tell the truth, and I don't play ga`nes. In 1979 then Mayor Wilbur Bishop recruited me for the Tigard Budget Committee. I ace-opted the appointmer d and served until my election to the City Council in 1984. 1 chaired that committee for two of the six years. Curing that period of time I also become the President of the Chamber of Commerce, and worked v:ith a Beard of Directors to mend ar9d unify the relations between the City and the Chamber. In fact, the Chamber Board at that time took out a loan with the First Interstate Barak and we all signed personally for the note in order to keep the Chamber in operation. a Members of that Board and myself also established the very first Board for TCYS services, which was the 'Tigard Community Youth Services program, which is now involved and become countywide. In fact, the very first fund raiser for that organizatlon was at Washington Square and by an unknown group at the time, Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts. He happened to be the Manager at Nudelman':s Peen Clothing stare, and I happened to be the Director of SecUrfty, and h6 offered to put on the program for free entertainment. In 1984 1 was elected to the City Council, and in '85 1 was elected as the Council - President. In '871 was elected to a two-year term as the Mayor. In '89 1 was re-elected to another four year term as the Mayor. I've been a member of the Oregon Mayor's Assooiation since I've been the Mayor; 1 was appointed to the League of Oregon Cities' Board of Directors for a two-year term in '91-92, being the first person ever from the Tigard city gcvemment to be on a state-wide board of LOC. From '91 to '931 chaired the'Washing'son County Consolidated Communications Agency. I've been on the Board of Directors for T EDC Tualatin Valley Economic Developmer:t) and for WCCCA, which is sr, organization in tNn county that helps the needy. I'm proud to say that many issues, such as water, changing the NPO system to the CI T system, to forming a Blue Ribbon Task Ford, to forming a 99W Task Force, to forming boards ana committee chairs and to financial stability in this city, have been some accomplishments that during my term as a Budget Committee member, as a Councilor, and a Mayor, I'm quite proud of. I've had some opportunities to work with some great page 5 people; in prior Councils and the Council that I sit with now. I've made some -,--.-d 1AW friendships, and have enjoyed it. I need to tell you that prior Councils have been responsible for a lot of the Items and a lot of the issues that have happened in thi; c in the last year, and without the present Council contlinuing those diroctilons and policies, merry gaud things would not have been implemented. I would like to tell you that effective March 31, 1994, 1 intend to resign as my position as Mayor, even though my term does not expire until January of '95, at which time; because of our Charter, I wouldn't be allowed to run again anyway, because we already have germ limits. Thle has nothing to do with the present people that I work with; It has to do with personal reasons as to why I Wil not finish this sixth term. I'd like to extend my perscnal thanks to Pat Reilly and his staff and all the dedicated employees. A special thanks to Tim Ramis, our City Attorney, for excellent legal guidance, and also as a personal friend throughout the years. A special thanks to the Councilors that I worked with in the past; Carolyn Eadon, Valerie Johnson, Joe Fasten, and a special thanks to the ex-Mayor, John Cook, who! was very, very fortunate to work with and be guided by, and who also Ywas in both my elections, or in ail three elections as Councilor as Mayor, my campaign chairman. I'm concerned about the future of small local governments and the future of this city fiscally. Arid after I've had some time to rest and complete some personal challenges, I may express in more detail my real concerns of how our system is eroding to special interest groups and to large regional government, and how our citizens do not understand the process. But for now, i don't have the desire or the interest to fight that fight. I'm tired. 3o with that, I thank you: h•\Iwgin\1o\~taW.cty Page 6 'x j COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS, INC. P.O.

Two now councilors assumed their offices, bringing new ideas and thoughts about how the city should pursue its responsibilities. P The City grew at an unprecedented rate. Permits for over 450 singie family dwelling units and almost 300 multifamily dwelling units were issued. The value of new commercial activity exceeded $36 million. Citizen involvement teams (CITs) were formed, and a new land use review process was enacted. The goal was to broaden public participatran and although the CITs are still evolving, the attendance and participation at these early meetings suggests a high level of citizen interest. The underlying notion of this effort is to empower citizens to achieve the community they desire. The municipal government stands available as a resource to assist, not direct. The land use process has been designed to allow for neighborhood involvement earlier in project development. NINE= 1 'The construction of Dartmouth nears completion as we meet tonight. Almost 10 years in the making, Dartmouth will open the triangle area for development. Community policing has been launched. The charges, stilt in the formative stage, are targeted to alter traditional police practices with their emphasis on reactive measures. Focused on forming a partnership between the police and the community, the approach requires a problem-solving style. The conversion to Community Policing will require time and continuity of effort. For the first time, the City of Tigard is in the water business, assuring the responsibility of the Southeast Washington County Joint Water Agency and before that, the Tigard Water District. The City also provides grater to the Cities of lung City and Durham and the remnant Tigard Water District by contract. It should be noted that at least a third of the city remains served by the Tualatin Valley Water District. Much time and effort was directed toward endeavors which have not yet concluded. Progress is being made to some degree on each of. the following: the Triangle Land Use Study, the 999 Task Force, the Washington Square-Lincoln Center transportation study, he Walnut Island double majority annexation effort; yard debris Implementation; the - "e erie Bypass Study. Beyond projects and goals, the city had to confront a v riety of demands in the conduct of day-to-day business. Such challenges Mr..lude the Ubrarys circulation growth, the growing prominence of gangs, deterioration and inadequacy of alder str6ets, the workload created by cutbacks of other agencies, and new State mandates. The city remains fiscally healthy. We are meeting the targets established by the five-year plan, which served as the basis for the 1990 tax base, now in effect. In the 1993-94 Budget, operating expenditures decreased by 1 % on a per capita basis from the prior fiscal year. The total- employee cap continued. Capital investments continued and maintenance was mat deferred. Options to meet the continued growing demands for services must be considered carefully during the upcoming budget deliberations. ae_. > ...wi ..er ra9 erafesa~$t~e^Ce "T° 1 ®Narln Bypass Study 'MJ ~9 City re6g1ene°$ 6:~sve~ 19B 8v~9V~s.,ac ...aw.-. . Is In the [midst of the Draft Environmental ImPaG~: StatGpjent. The 2040 study is reviewing alternative scenarios for futurs 9FOwth cif the r0910n- - - Cum nf6y, the revision of the Oregon Department of Transportation 6 Year plan requires attention, if only due to they changes being contemplated, for the 0-5/217 interchange project. The City continues its involvement in the Metropol n Area Communications Commission ( ACC); the Metropolitan Policy Advisory Commission (MPAC); the Washington Courniy Consolidated Communications :agency (WCCCA); the Integrated Crrminal ius ice System Study for Washington County; the Washington County Transportation Coordinating Committee; tQ narne a few. Clearly, one of the changes witnessed in 1 gg3 is the growing conflict between growth/development and natural, resources; the balancing of private property rights and environmental protection. This issue will become more pronounced, particularly as our natural-rasource areas berme more scarce. Several studies are now underway to identify important natural resources, including wetlands and trees, to facilitate Council and community deliberations. 7 t SIM Unfortunately one change we did not see during 1993 relates to transportation. The congestion woes associated with 99 W and Highway 217 continue *~ith no relief in sight. As our community survey revealed transportation remains one of our most important issues, with these two roadways prominently cite. It is further disconce ng to realize that there.are no readily available solutions, either ready for construction or on t:-he drawing board. During 1993, voters approved the Washington County Consolidated Library Serviia levy; Tigard voters rejected the Community Center Bond Issue. The State tax restructuring proposal to establi8140 s'sale tail as soundly defeated. It appears that 1994 will be a busy year at the ballot box. Locally, Tigard voters will vote for a Mayor and 2 Councilors in November and selected Charter Changes in May. Washington County plans to advance a Jail Bond Issue, probably in May. The Tigard/ Tualatin School District anticipates a Bond Issue, probably in March. Regionally, we will revisit Greenspaces and state-wide voters will be given the opportunity in November to comment on the new Measure 5, known as the Taxpayer Protection Act. The T%ma d City Council will decide later this year whether or not to pursue a Na vembarg 1994 Tax Base election. In closing, 1 heileve It is important to point out that the City of Tigard government Is a service organization; committed to enhancing the equality of life in our community.
