position.
Councilors Hunt and Scheckla favored Mr. Moore, citing his experience on the
Planning Commission. Because of this experience, Mr. Moore would already be
aware of many of the issues before the Council.
Mayor Nicoli suggested selecting Mr. Dirksen citing Mr. Dirksen's service as a CIT
facilitator, service on the Budget Committee and involvement with other groups in
the City (not City-related).
Councilor Rohlf supported Joyce Patton as his first choice. He noted her perspective
on issues; in the past she has been a "quick study" on issues and would be "up to
speed" on the issues very quickly. He noted her overall positive responses to the
questions posed by the Council.
'i
j Discussion followed. Council agreed that the candidates were all qualified. Mayor
Nicoli said he could support Councilor Hunt's and Scheckla's recommendation for
Mr. Moore. Councilor Rohlf said he still supported Ms. Patton and added that the

strongly in support of Ms. Patton; however, he was not opposed to any of the
candidates.

City Council Position #2

Response to questionnaire
-
Question #1
am interested in filling the vacant city council position because it would afford
me the opportunity to have a greater impact on the future of our community. It
was my intent to run for one of the positions opening at the next election anyway.
This just allows me to move ahead sooner with that plan.
have a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, and have worked in
j
the field of Machine Design and Consulting Engineering since 1974. This training
and experience has taught me to think logically and make practical, fact-based
decisions. This will be an aid in making decisions regarding planning and
approval of zoning, development, and traffic.
{
My family and I have lived in Tigard for over 18 years, and during that time
have been involved in community activities almost continually. Early on, my j
involvement was primarily school and sports based, because I had young I
children. My sons have been involved in Cub Scouts, where 1 was a Den Parent I
for a short time, and soccer, since they were in kindergarten. My oldest is now a !
j
Freshman at Portland State. I have been a coach, referee, and board member of
the TTS Indoor Soccer Club, and, more recently, a coach, referee, head referee
,
board member, and president of the Tigard Soccer Club. This led to my first
workin
with th
Cit
g
e
y, regarding soccer fields. Working directly with the City, I
was a member of the Park Board for the two years prior to its being disbanded at
r
the time of the Citizen Involvement Team concept implementation. Since then
I
,
have been serving as a CIT facilitator, originally for the West CIT
where I
,
facilitated the infamous '131 st Street tie-in' meeting, and more recently for the
Central CIT. In addition, last year I was appointed to the City Budget Committee.
Incidentally, I sought that appointment specifically to better familiarize myself with
the city budget process in anticipation of seeking a council seat in the future.
i(
Question #2 f
In the coming year, the city of Tigard is going to have to address the changes
brought about by the Metro 2040 plan and the subsequent decisions that Metro
f
i
makes regarding zoning and the urban growth boundary. In addition, the council
is going to have to continue it's work consolidating city services and boundaries
as further development fills in the available open space and the population
continues to grow. This will include defining or "staking a claim", if I may be
candid, on areas of responsibility or jurisdiction in an attempt to maintain our city
identity in the face of an area-wide overgovemment. I feel the city council's main
duty is to remain fiscally responsible while maintaining or improving the services
the city provides to it's residents. I believe this combination of background and
outlook would make me a valuable asset to the council.

RE: Vacant City Council Seat
Dear Sir,
This letter is to inform you of my interest in filling the Council seat that will
be vacated by Wendy Hawley at the end of the year. I understand the position
will remain vacant until the next election the following year, unless the council
decides to appoint a replacement.
It is my intention to run for a City Council seat at the next available
opportunity. This appointment would merely allow me to begin my service
sooner, and allow me to "get my feet wet" before actually having to campaign for
1 the office. I hope you and the rest of the council will favorably consider my
application.
Sincerely,
Craig Dirksen

ANSWERS TO COUNCIL CANDIDATE QUESTIONS
r
Question 1.
I am interested in council position two because I love living
in Tigard and want to help make it a better place to live. I have
lived in the Portland area since 1947, graduating from Rose City
grade school and Grant Highschool. I attended Lewis and Clark
I
college for two years until I entered the US Navy in 1956. After
serving overseas, I returned to Portland and joined the Portland
Police Bureau in 1961. I served all over the city as a street
;
officer until 1967 when I was promoted to Detective. f
As a detective I worked all crimes, including Auto Theft, Morals,
Burglary, Fraud and Homicide. I left the Bureau in 1977 after
17 years to become Director of Security of the Benson Hotel. ;
There I was a full department head with a staff of six and a budget I
of about $200,000 per year. While there i coordinated security
l
E for such notables as President Regan, Mrs. Jimmy Carter and Walter
Mondale.
Since leaving the Benson when it sold in 1985, I've had much
additional experience in budgeting and managing small and large
apartment complexes both here and in the Seattle area. I consider
myself a graduate of the Portland city buracracy.
Question 2.
Tigard and the surrounding area faces a horrible and often
i
i
1 unacceptable traffic situation referred to by the st
J U L~
w
officials as condition F. I would work toward mitigating traffic
congestion by better use of existing police resources to smooth
the flow during peak hours as well as study the possibility of
a moratorium on building permits until road construction has
f
had a chance to catch up.
I
Question 3. I
I
I'm concerned that the city of Tigard now presents two faces to
the business community along with a selective and discriminatory
enforcement of some ordinances that directly affect business.
Many business men were financially impacted when main street
was closed from 8 to 5 for new sewers and repaving. The construction `E
could have been completed at night allowing business to continue f
during the day.
I would also like to assist the Mayor in his already expressed
i,
interest of revamping ordinances that are out dated, unenforcable
and hurt business.
I'm also concerned that the city has leaned too far,
detrimentally dealing with homeless people. Tigard is not all fancy
homes and comfortable incomes. It also has an underbelly of those
less fortunate, witness the two homeless shelters operating here
in winter. I'm concerned about a city unwilling to donate shelter
space in a public facility.
Question 4.
I will be available for necessary council meetings.
Sincerely,
I

RE: Answer to questions requested.
Lear Cathy:
As requested, here are my replies for your questions:
Question #1,interest, background and cAperien--
I would like to show interest as a Counselor to finish Wendi
Conover Hawleys appointment. As a graduate of the Tigard
Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Seminar of 1992 and fellow
businessman of Tigard for the past several years, I feel as
though I would be a good replacement for her term. I have
served for over five years on the Tigard Chamber of Commerce
Political Action/Business Advocacy Committee and have kept
abreast of issues that effect our community as well as the
business community at large. There are two different
businesses that I manage with my wife Marilyn, Hudson Plaza
and M.H. Construction at 12900 SW Pacific Highway in Tigard.
As a construction company building light commercial/
residential handicap housing, I deal with many municipalities
throughout the state with traffic, zoning, building, fire
and housing needs. As a commercial property owner of 2,000
sq. ft. of office and retail space, I deal with many diverse
business owners from food service to finance.
Question #2, major challenges and ar i ipationy
Growth, transportation and identity all have the opportunity
to be shaped as the regional communities grow. My
participation would be to monitor the changes and make it as
sensible as possible. I would stand for keeping the high
standards we have in our community at the same time try to
resolve the ill issues of transportation and congestion.
Question #3, community concerns.
K thru 12 education and activities costs, transportation and
congestion, The Dolan suit, water supply and contract, Tigard
Triangle and Metro Councils 2040 Plan.
Question #4, addi +onal m +ng.
I'm not opposed to reasonable additional meetings that relate
"i to what my job would be as a Councilman. Until it was

ecided that I would run for another term I would hesitate to
make any additional commitments. I presently am involved

I
Gentlemen,
Thank-you for the opportunity to submit my name for the vacant position on the City
`
i.
Council and respond to the following questions.
f
`
Question #1
My interest in filling the vacant City Council postion comes from many directions. My
C
III
years on the Tigard Planning Commission have provided me with a great deal of knowledge in;
land use issues, transportation needs, park requirements, etc., with a history of where the City has
!
been and a direction to where the City is heading. My desire is to help make Tigard a city to be
i
proud of and maintain its reputation as a quality community to live. I believe that my work with
the City has given me the background and experinences that would be benifical and of value to the
present City Council. Over the last few years I fell that I have built the foundation for what would
v1
make me a excellent canidate for City Council. I have entertained the idea of running for City
Council, but I have had some hesitation in committing to the responsibility that a full term on the
s .
City Council would take . This opportuity provides me a chance to "test the waters" and see
what is involved in being on the Council before making a major decision to take on a full term
position.
'
I have been a long time volunteer within the City of Tigard. Presently I am the Vice
President of the Tigard Planning Commission (also served as President for a short time between
Commission elections). I was first appointed to the Commission on October, 1990. During my
terms on the Commission I have served on the Transportation Committee, 99w Task Force and
the Tigard Triangle Advisory Team. Prior to being appointed to the Planning Commision, I was
appointed to the Tigard Economic Development Committee. I have been ask by City Staff to
!
provide support work in the hiring of the Community Development Director and the Public
Works Director. My position at Portland General Electric requires me to work with both City of
Tigard Engineering and Planning Staff affording me the opportuity to develop an excellent
working relationship with them. On the Planning Commission I am required to make desisions on
much the same issues as the City Council. The knowledge I have of how the City functions and
present issues would make for an easy transition back to a fully staffed City Council, cutting down
on the necessary training or background information that may be required by another candidate. I
J
feel that it is time to take on another challenge in a attempt to further serve the City of Tigard.
L'

Ouestion #2
There are a number of important issues facing our City over the next few years. Issues
topping my fist are the Metro 2040 Plan, future transportation requirements and open space
needs. The Metro 2040 Plan concerns me the most, to lose the ability to plan and to deiermine a
cities future land use and transportation needs would, in my opinion be a disaster. We need to
keep the control of Tigards planning role and needs within Tigards control. wth the increase in
Tigards population, the City's transportation system has long past the point of being safe or even
adequate with no easy fix, it will take major steps and decisions to improve them. The need for
open spaces are also an important issue facing the City, with development taking more and more
vacant land it becomes increasingly important to secure some of what land we have left to be used
as open space to be used by the population of Tigard. An issue that hits a little closer to home is
the relationship of the Tigard Planning Commission and the City Council. It would be my hope
that I could bring a better understanding of what the Commission does (making decisions based
on information from staff, CTT's and the public) and how the Council can better use the
recommendation sent up from the Commission, It is of my opinion that the Council is not taking
advantage of what the Commission has recommended to its entirety. The City staff is one of the
best I have ever worked with and I have worked with a number of city, county and state agencies,
and by far C.O.T.'s is the finest and by using their expertise more effectively would be another of
my priorities. Because of my diversity of knowledge of the City both as a volunteer in the City,
my 18 years as a resident and my professional background, I can offer possibly an additional point
of view for the council to consider.
Ouestion #3
My involvement with the City may not be as well known as that of the Councils, but when
people do hear of my position on the Planning Commission, I am often asked "why" the City is
doing or for that matter not doing certain things. They discuss transportation problems,
development concerns and what is going to happen in the future or just plain why things must
change. But most of all the biggest concern is with traffic, they worry about Tigard traffic
becoming a LA type problem. Because I live & work within the City I am constantly fighting
the traffic, they feel as I do that something has to be done. The other concern of people I talk
with is open spaces and or parks. Tigard in their opinion is in need of more parks, not just green
spaces or walking parks but large parks to support baseball/softball and soccer/football fields.
When my kids where of that age to be using these fields there was a shortage then and with the
increasing population the need is even greater. People I talk to just want a quality place to five
and play and I have the same concerns, otherwise I wouldn't spend as much time volunteering as I
do.
Ouestion #4
Portland General Electric and the Management in particular are very supportive of my
work with the City. They have never questioned the time I have spent on Company time to
preform task or attend meetings as needed for my City work. Meetings during the day do not
pose a problem and with the age of my kids their activities generally do not include Dad leaving
weekends free. When I contemplated submitting my name for consideration for this position my

Dear Mayor Nicoli and Council Members,
As I read the four questions posed, what you really want to know is what kind
of a person is Tim O'Brien? What is his motivation to join us on the city
council? What qualifications does Tim have that will make him a
productive member of our team? Rather than answer the questions as stated
I would like to share with you who I am and why I want to become involved
with you through the following paragraphs.
I have lived in SW Portland for my entire life and have seen many changes
taking place; cow pastures transforming into neighborhoods, the rivers
becoming more and more polluted, the roads and highways becoming
! congested. I can recall being a kid walking through Multnomah Village and
eating a root beer float during the Multnomah.Days celebration.
The challenges and opportunities that were faced back then are not all that
different than those we face today. We have concerns about keeping our
environment clean and green. We have concerns about how to handle the
increased traffic and population growth. We have concerns about how we
are taxed. We have concerns about keeping our neighborhoods safe from
drugs & crime. We all want a place that we can raise our families, work, and `
' enjoy being alive in such a beautiful state.
It is how we step up and face these challenges & opportunities today that will
affect how we live tomorrow. We are at a point now where critical decisions
are being made that will affect all of our lives for many years to come. Every
meeting this year is vitally important which is why I am excited to serve this
short term as an appointed council member.
Why Tim O'Brien? I am proud to have grown up in Portland and have
enjoyed keeping tuned in and becoming involved in associations &
committees. The parts of "who I am" that will really benefit the council are
my ability to communicate clearly and with many types of people; an energy
and enthusiasm to become involved in group and committee work; the
ability to ask good penetrating questions; capacity to listen empathetically to
others and being able to work towards a group consensus; readiness to do
hard fact finding committee work; once I have the facts I am comfortable
making clear thought out decisions. In looking at myself and listening to
what others have to say about me these are the attributes that motivated me
to be involved in local government and why I would be a real asset to the
Council.

Dear Mayor Nicoli & City Council Members,
I am interested in filling the Tigard City Council seat available due to Ms.
Hawley's resignation.
This opportunity just recently came to my attention through Mary Tobias at the
Tualatin Valley Economic Development Corporation. I am actively involved
with TVEDC, Chambers of Commerce, and other various community
organizations in the area.
As a native Portlander and a registered Tigard voter, I am eager to get involved
with the Tigard City Council. I would embrace the opportunity to serve my local
community in planning and decision making as a Council Member.
After speaking with Cathy, I understand this is to be a letter of interest, so I will
stop here. I am anxious and look forward to discussing this appointment in detail
at a later date.
Thank you for your time & consideration.
Sincerely,
r

To the Mayor and City Council of Tigard:
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the vacancy on the City Council. I am f
applying not to fulfill some desire on my part, but because I feel I can bring some
attributes to the Council. Parts of my answers were previously given to you in my initial
r
letter of interest. As your requested, here are my replies to your questions:
Question 1: Please describe why you are interested in the City Council position; also
describe your background, experience and education which you believe qualifies you to
serve on the Council.
I
Answer. I have lived in Washington County for 25 years, and 14 years ago my wife
and I bought our first house in Tigard. We have lived there ever since and have raised
three children. Since my move here, I have felt that citizens are more than just a part of
the city government, they are the government Therefore, I have given hundreds of
I
volunteer hours to various community and civic committees.
There are at least five advantages 1 feel I can bring to a position on the Council.
1. A balanced perspective / Many people feel they have a balanced view. In fact, the
term has almost become a clich6, it is used so often. However, my background ~
.
demonstrates a true understanding of the various (and sometimes contentious) factors
that affect the decision-making process. My first volunteer position in Tigard was that
1
of an NPO chairman. For a while, I represented mostly the residential point of view on
I
city issues- I was a strong advocate for balanced growth (almost another clich6) and
looked at planning issues from the homeowner's perspective. When the city formed
the Economic Development Committee under the guidance of Bill Monahan, I was
asked to join by the mayor at that time, John Cook. 1 was elected the first permanent
Chairman of the Committee, and served a full term. During that time, 1 represented the
business and development community and saw things from a different "angle'. One
thing I quickly learned was that almost all planning decisions had an effect on
transportation, and that traffic was a topic every faction in the city was strongly
interested in. When the Transportation Committee was formed, the mayor at that time,
f
Tom Brian, asked me to serve there. I accepted, and was voted Co-chair. Apparently
my work was noticed and appreciated because County Commissioner Roy Rogers
asked me to serve on the Washington County Planning Commission. I was nominated
by Roy and approved by the Board of Commissioners. I served a four year term, the
last three years as Vice-chair. During this time, I immersed myself in land use planning
issues and learned what it meant to make hard decisions that changed people's lives.
One of the hardest came during the widening of SW 185"' street, where we had to
decide on which plan out of three to approve.
J
f
l
Mark Padgett / Page 2
Each plan involved taking people's houses, and I agonized over the decision. But when
i
it came time to vote, I felt good about my choice, since 1 had studied the plans well. In
cases like that one, you can only do the best you can. Recently, I have been serving on
1
the Tigard Planning Commission, where I have dealt with such issues as the green
spaces project and various plan amendments.
I
My point is that I have represented both the residential and business communities and
.
understand how planning is tied to transportation. I have a background in neighborhood
planning, economic development and transportation.
2. View of the role of community govemment / A popular view of a community
ttt
government is that it is there to serve the people of the community, i.e. the government
is the store and the citizens are the customers. I take it one step further and feel that
the community government is the people. In my mind, it's almost like a co-op. The
people at City Hall should work as a team, not just with themselves, but with the rest of
the citizens. When people come to the building, its usually for help. If a team concept
based on problem solving becomes the practice, then that's when government and the
people act as single entity.
3. Attitude of cooperation and compromise / 1 have sat at many committee and council
meetings in a number of jurisdictions where confrontation seemed to be the standard
method of trying to solve problems. This develops an "us versus them" mentality which
furthers distrust in government. Not only that, it doesn't result in a fair decision, only one
which favors the strongest (read: loudest) proponent. Decisions should be made on the
1
1
merit and logic of the criteria, not by 'giving the grease to the squeakiest wheel".
IL
4. Community support / In the past, 1 have run twice for City Council, both times
i
finishing second in three-way races. This indicates there is a large number of people in
Tigard who feel I would make a good councilor. At this time, I have no aspirations of
II
running for a full term at the end of this one-year vacancy. I would be proud to serve my
community, and feel that my one-year tenure would make the citizens of Tigard proud of
me.
'
5. Familiarity with issues and personnel / Since I am current on issues facing the
Council and have worked with numerous personnel at City Hall for many years, I would
be able to come on board relatively "up to speed'. While I would have to review current
issues and packets, there would not have to be a lot of time spent on training. This
would be an advantage for the citizens and for the Council
Question 2: What do you consider to be the major challenges of opportunities facing
Tigard in the next year and how would your participation on Council help to improve the
City's response to those challenges.
I

Mark Padgett / Page 3
Answer: There is no doubt that the biggest challenge facing Tigard is our response to
growth. With Metro's 2040 plan soon to be implemented and the demand on our
buildable land for more housing and commercial development, maintaining our quality of
life balanced against this necessary growth will be a challenge of the highest magnitude.
I feel confident that my background in planning will be an invaluable asset in setting the
course for our city's future. As I stated before, I have a truly balanced view and attitude i
toward development, having represented both the homeowner and the developer point
of view. In general, I do not favor comprehensive plan changes unless the applicant
i fully proves their case. My view is that a proposed change in the comp plan is not a 50-
50 proposition, but must be totally proven by the applicant. The comp plan, which is the i
document we have adopted as our blueprint for growth, was developed after a long and `
involved process and should not be set aside lightly.
The other two major issues are transportation and crime. Transportation is directly tied
to growth, and continuing to require new development to conform to city conditions of
street improvement during development will manage the transportation situation to a
great degree. The main transportation issues are Pacific Highway gridlock, street
development in the triangle and continued support of the Western Bypass including a
widening of Highway 217. 1 am also in favor of redesigning the 1-5/217 interchange and
the 72nd street exits, both of which will become imperative after the commercial
development of the Phil Lewis site.
1 As for crime, unmanaged growth will contribute to the problem. I favor the
neighborhood policing concept and the continuation of the school officer program. Also,
feel that the city should include in its budget, funds for community youth sports and
I recreation programs. These programs are the most cost effective method of gang and
drug prevention. They teach respect for authority, promote a good self-image and
L provide positive role models for young children.
Question 3: What issues of concern have you heard from the community?
Answer. Most of the comments I hear as I work in the community are related to the
three issues stated above; growth, transportation and crime. Homeowners have a `
tendency to want to preserve the status quo and don't want more growth while the
business community supports growth to increase its customer base. Virtually everyone 1
come in contact with complains about transportation and crime issues. When I hear
these types of comments, I usually ask that person if they have a suggestion.
Unfortunately, I rarely hear a comment which would mean a commitment from that
person to get more involved in the community. The attitude of 'Let George Do It' is
alive and well in Tigard. I would support a public relations campaign by the city to
encourage more citizen participation. One minor point which may help do that would be
to print a map of the boundaries of the CITs in the monthly city newsletter so people
would know which CIT they were in. 1 would also support monthly Saturday "info
sessions" at City Hall where rotating Council members and staff would be available to
answer any citizen questions and hear any comments. As society changes its work
schedules, many people are not always available in the evenings for meetings.

To the Mayor and City Council of Tigard:
Please consider this letter as a formal request on my part to be considered for
the vacancy on the City Council. I am applying not to fulfill some desire on my

RESPONSES TO COUNCIL CANDIDATE - POSITION NO. 2 QUESTIONS:
1. Please describe why you are interested in the City Council position; also
describe your background, experience and education which you believe qualifies
you to serve on the Council.
have always believed that every citizen has a responsibility to give back to the
community in which they live. If you don't like what is going on or you have some ideas
about what can be changed, do something constructive - don't just complain.
Everybody has something to contribute. In addition to providing a feeling of usefulness,
accomplishment, etc., giving a little of your time to the community is a great way to
1
meet new people, make new friends, and expand your knowledge of the community
and the way it works.
believe my educational background and experience would make me an asset to the
Council. It took me a total of ten years to get my bachelor's degree while working full-
time days and going to school at night, but I graduated with a BS in Business
Management from Marylhurst College in December 1987. 1 was accepted to
Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College in June 1988. 1 graduated
from their four-year evening program in May 1992. During my tenure in Law School, I
continued to work full-time at Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) in positions
including Division Secretary, Public Utilities Specialist, and Environmental Specialist. In
j
October 1992, 1 was offered and accepted a position as an attorney in the Office of
General Counsel at Bonneville. 1 am tenacious and hard-working. I have strong
interpersonal skills. I am an articulate speaker and writer. I am an active listener with
substantial negotiating experience. Most of all, I am interested in my community and
want to see the City of Tigard develop and prosper.
2. What do you consider to be the major challenges or opportunities facing
Tigard in the next year and how would your participation on Council help to
I
improve the City's response to those challenges.
i
consider finding a permanent source of water for Tigard to be one of the major
challenges over the next year. Tiigard's rapid growth, coupled with increased interest
on the part of many nearby communities to secure a stable water supply into the next
century, compel Tigard to aggressively represent the interests of our community in this
very significant concern. Tigard's future is inextricably entwined with its ability to offer
future residential, commercial and industrial residents an economical and sufficient
supply of water. My skills and experience in negotiating and drafting contracts would
be a valuable addition to Council.
Tigard also has an opportunity to become a stronger, more vocal and participative
member of the regional community. Towards this end, Tigard must understand and
learn to work with Metro in areas that will impact Tigard. The metropolitan area is
growing by leaps and bounds - Tigard no longer has the luxury to take a wad-and-see
attitude in areas such as regional land use. Council is making inroads towards
I
t
L~
kI 2
developing this relationship. However, Council must also educate the citizenry of
l Tigard about the importance to the community of developing regional relationships and
developing the habit of looking at the "big picture" whenever issues that are perceived
to be Tigard" issues are explored and decided.
3. What issues of concern have you heard from the community?
The issues that most recently have come up are traffic problems and pedestrian safety,
particularly for our children who either walk to school, ride their bikes, or wait for the
schoolbus. With school funding cutbacks, many more children are walking or riding
their bikes. Pedestrian crosswalks, and signals, must be a high priority for the City.
You can't replace a child, but you can put up with a washboard road or potholes if thafs
what it takes to find the necessary funding. Another issue is the perceived increase in
episodes of random violence, such as the recent drive-by shooting at Tigard High
School. Safety of the citizenry in general is also a concern (e.g., increase in "gang"
type behaviors such as graffiti), but 1 have heard only positive comments about the
Tigard Police. `
- l
4. As you are probably aware, Council has three regularly scheduled meetings
per month. In addition, City Council members all share responsibility in serving
on other committees, commissions and boards which mean additional meetings
during the day, evenings and sometimes on weekends. Will you be available for I
I additional meetings?
i
My position with Bonneville Power Administration in Portland is a full-time position. 1 r
would be available during the evenings (with advance notice and after 6:36 p.m.) and
sometimes on weekends to attend additional meetings. I would not be able to
` accommodate day-time meetings unless it happened to be a federal holiday.

results in fewer and fewer citizens willing to participate in local government and communal

personal gain in everything from zone changing to increase property values to resume

those challenges.

Phil Lewis Elementary School sale. Resolving the issues of zoning and traffic man-
agement in a timely manner to assure that the sale goes through.
I believe that I could offer a well-informed perspective to the situation. My involve-
ment on the Planning and Development subcommittees in Beaverton provide a background
on many of the issues. And my ability to grasp multidimensional situations would allow me
to search for amicable resolutions.

Traffic. In general, and specifically in the Tigard Triangle. Keeping up with, and

As with the school sale, my contribution would be having a well-informed point of

view, along with background on many of the issues involved and the ability to grasp the
whole situation. Plus my training and experience in project management would allow my to

C/O Cathy Wheatley, City Recorder
City of Tigard
13125 SW Hall Blvd.
Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Council Members,
JJ JAN 0 4 1995,
Please accept his letter and resume as an application to fill the unexpired term of
Councilor Hawley. The resume is to show business experience, educational background, and
community participation.
Over the years I have been active in voluntarism in Portland and Beaverton city govern-
ments, but not Tigard. Since I have lived in Tigard (four years now) my participation has been
limited to volunteering at civic events. Because of my advocacy for citizen involvement in local
government I have been looking for a way to serve at the City of Tigard.
I am asking to complete Councilor Hawley's term to bring rational thought processes,
diplomacy, sense of fair play and the ability to "see the forest from the trees" to the Council.
My position as an outsider in Tigard government circles may appear to be a detriment.
However, I can assure you that I am familiar with the governmental process and follow local
issues closely.
Please consider the information on my resume, particularly page three, when considering
my application. As a self employed small businessman with a wife who manages an 80 unit
Tigard apartment complex I feel that I will be an excellent choice.
Thank you for your consideration. The following references may prove helpful for deter-
mining my character:
Rob Drake, Mayor of Beaverton 526-2497
Craig Huck, Pastor of Calvary Chapel of Tigard 624-4984
Jim McAllister, Governor of PNW District of Kiwanis International 281-5191

Question #1
Please describe why you are interested in the City Council position, also describe your
background, experience and education which you believe qualifies you to serve on the Council.
I am a second generation Portland area native. I attended the University of Oregon where I
received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Except for my college years, three years in
Germany, and three years in San Diego, I have lived in the Portland area all my life. I have lived
i in Tigard for five years. I have served for two years on the Tigard Planning Commission. Several
months ago, I was elected President by my fellow commissioners.
I have extensive professional experience in land planning, design and development of complex
projects. I am currently project manager with Mayer/Reed for the design of a $6.2 million multi-
phase waterfront park in downtown Salem. The project includes fountains, a boat dock, a $ 1
million multi-purpose pavilion building, parking lots, an amphitheater, a large pedestrian plaza,
and large open spaces. I manage a team consisting of architects, civil, electrical, mechanical,
structural, traffic, geotechnical and environmental engineers. The project required permits from the
Army Corps of Engineers, the Division of State Lands, the Department of Environmental Quality,
the Public Utility Commission, ODOT and the City of Salem. It was subject to Willamette
Greenway regulations and FEMA regulations in addition to the usual planning and zoning
requirements.
I have played a key role in the design of the 348-acre Washington State University Campus in
Vancouver from the beginning of master planning. It is currently under construction. Other
projects include Westside Light Rail, the $1.5 million Tom McCall Waterfront Park Utilities
Improvements, the Portland Police Memorial and many ODOT projects.
I have appeared before Design Review Boards, Planning Commissions, Hearings Officers, the
{ Portland Metropolitan Arts Commission, the Portland Urban Forestry Commission as well as City
Councils for various projects.
~ t
My professional experience in development issues and my experience on the planning commission
can be a valuable asset to the City Council. Tigard is currently experiencing rapid growth. Many
of Tigard's most pressing problems and greatest opportunities are growth related. I would bring to
the Council an understanding of development issues, a familiarity with state and local land use law,
an ability to read and understand plans, and an appreciation for the most common citizen concerns
related to a development application.
Question #2
What do you consider to be the major challenges or opportunities facing Tigard in the next year and
how would your participation on Council help to improve the City's response to those challenges?
There are two highly significant issues that I feel will pose major challenges to the City of Tigard
over the next few years.
I have long felt that traffic on Pacific Highway is Tigard's most significant problem. In the eyes
of most residents of the metro area the arterial is Tigard. The City has an image problem as well as
I-) a traffic vroblem. 1 understand that thn P-;r:
Wilson
page 3
is nearly complete. Once it is complete the Council will make decisions concerning implementing
' its recommendations. Over the last five years I have completed many ODOT projects and
developed good working relationships with many senior officials at ODOT Region 1 Headquarters.
I would like to work together with the Council, ODOT and adjacent property owners to seek
solutions to the highwa ' hl
y s pro ems.
The most significant issue facing Tigard in the next few years is the implementation of the Metro
2040 plan. Over the last two years, I have become quite familiar with the plan. I believe that its
implementation will be highly controversial. There was strong opposition among the property
owners to the rezoning of the Tigard Triangle. The 2040 plan will likely require far more parcels
to be rezoned. New zoning categories may need to be created. In order to fully implement the
plan, zones with minimum densities may need to be created. In addition, there may need to be
changes to parking standards, setbacks and other standards. As a Councilor, I would seek to
modify our Comprehensive Plan in such a way that both achieves Metro's goals and satisfies a
large majority of our citizens.
Question #3
What issues of concern have you heard from the community?
I believe that most Tigard residents are satisfied with their community. I think that the citizens of
this City receive a high level of service for the tax dollars expended. We have a fine police force,
an exceptional library, and a good park system. The greatest complaint concerns traffic. Our local
streets need much improvement. From my experience on the Planning Commission, the single
issue which causes the greatest concern is any change which will cause an increase in
neighborhood traffic.
Question #4
As you are probably aware, Council has three regularly scheduled meetings per month. in
addition, City Council members all share responsibility in serving on other committees,
commissions and boards which mean additional meetings during the day, evenings and sometimes
on weekends. Will you be available for additional meetings?
I have a nearly perfect attendance record in my two years on the Planning Commission. I would
be able to give the same commitment to regular City Council meetings. However, l have other
significant demands on my time. I would available only for a limited number of other
engagements.

Dear Tigard City Council:
It would be an honor to be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Tigard City Council. I believe my
experience, enthusiasm, and hard work would be valuable assets to the City of Tigard. 1 am interested in
serving on the Council to help make a difference in the quality of life in the Tigard area.
Currently I am an Assistant Relationship Manager with U.S. Bank of Oregon. My spouse and I own a
house in Pebblecreek, a Tigard subdivision. I have been interested and a participant in several community
organizations in the past. I am presently serving on the Board of Directors for the Oregon Club of
Portland. I understand the time commitment and energy it takes to be apart of volunteer citizen groups.
In my current position at US Bank I make decisions that often times involve complex problems using both
data and personal contact. I listen to the issues of both the individual businesses and the Bank and then I
strive to reach a comprise between the two groups. The skill of identifying the salient issue or issues and
j developing a solution, I believe would serve me well on the council. I have confidence my communication
skills and problem solving ability would support the efficiency of the council. It would beanhonor to be
considered for the Council opening.
Sincerely,

RE: Vacant City Council Seat
Dear Sir, I
This letter is to inform you of my interest in filling the Council seat that will
be vacated by Wendy Hawley at the end of the year. I understand the position
will remain vacant until the next election the following year, unless the council
decides to appoint a replacement
It is my intention to run for a City Council seat at the next available

City Council Position #2
,
Response to questionnaire - - . _iL i

Question #1
I am interested in filling the vacant city council position because it would afford
3
me the opportunity to have a greater impact on the future of our community. It
was my intent to run for one of the positions opening at the next election anyway.
This just allows me to move ahead sooner with that plan.
I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, and have worked in
the field of Machine Design and Consulting Engineering since 1974. This training
-
and experience has taught me to think logically and make practical, fact-based
decisions. This will be an aid in making decisions regarding planning and
approval of zoning, development, and traffic.
My family and I have lived in Tigard for over 18 years, and during that time I
have been involved in community activities almost continually. Early on, my
involvement was primarily school and sports based, because I had young
children. My sons have been involved in Cub Scouts, where I was a Den Parent
for a short time, and soccer, since they were in kindergarten. My oldest is now a
5
Freshman at Portland State. I have been a coach, referee, and board member of
the TTS Indoor Soccer Club, and, more recently, a coach, referee, head referee
,
board member, and president of the Tigard Soccer Club. This led to my first
workin
with the Cit
di
g
y, regar
ng soccer fields. Working directly with the City,
was a member of the Park Board for the two years prior to its being disbanded at
the time of the Citizen Involvement Team concept implementation. Since then
r
,
have been serving as a CIT facilitator, originally for the West CIT
where
,
facilitated the infamous "131st Street tie-in" meeting, and more recently for the
Central CIT. In addition, last year I was appointed to the City Budget Committee
.
Incidentally, I sought that appointment specifically to better familiarize myself with
3
the city budget process in anticipation of seeking a council seat in the future.
Question #2

In the coming year, the city of Tigard is going to have to address brought about by the Metro 2040 plan and he bse

a
e population
continues to grow. This will include defining or "staking a claim", if I may be
candid, on areas of responsibility or jurisdiction in an attempt to maintain our city
identity in the face of an area-wide overgovemment. I feel the city council's main
duty is to remain fiscally responsible while maintainin

the city provides to it's residents. I believe this combination of background and

Question #3
®
The issues of concern I have heard from the community all focus on one
overriding concern: maintaining and enhancing the livability of our city. The main
threats to this people see are overcrowding caused by uncontrolled development,
lack of recreational facilities and open space, and, most critically, traffic
®
congestion and speed.
Question #4
At present, I am involved in several activities outside my job and family that
require time spent in the evenings and on weekends. If I am appointed to fill the
council vacancy, it is my intention to curtail these other activities for the duration
of my term of office. Thus, I am used to having evening and weekend
commitments, and taking on additional council duties would not change my
current schedule unduly. However, my regular job would make weekday
activities difficult, though not impossible, given enough notice and assuming they
were not too often.

ANSWERS TO COUNCIL CANDIDATE QUESTIONS
®
Question 1.
I am interested in council position two because I love living
in Tigard and want to help make it a better place to live. I have
t
lived in the Portland area since 1947, graduating from Rose City
grade school and Grant Highschool. I attended Lewis and Clark
college for two years until I entered the US Navy in 1956. After
I
serving overseas, I returned to Portland and joined the Portland
j
Police Bureau in 1961. I served all over the city as a street
officer until 1967 when I was promoted to Detective.
As a detective I worked all crimes, including Auto Theft, Morals,
Burglary, Fraud and Homicide. I left the Bureau in 1977 after
17 years to become Director of Security of the Benson Hotel.
There I was a full department head with a staff of six and a budget
of about $200,000 per year. While there i coordinated security
for such notables as President Regan, Mrs. Jimmy Carter and Walter
Mondale.
f
I
j
Since leaving the Benson when it sold in 1985, I've had much
I
i
i
additional experience in budgeting and managing small and large
apartment complexes both here and in the Seattle area. I consider
myself a graduate of the Portland city buracracy.
~
.
Question 2.
I+
Tigard and the surrounding area faces a horrible and often
f
unacceptable traffic situation referred to by the state traffic
JAI
f
officials as condition F. I would work toward mitigating traffic
n
congestion by better use of existing police resources to smooth
the flow during peak hours as well as study the possibility of
a moratorium on building permits until road construction has
T.
had a chance to catch up.
l
Question 3.
I'm concerned that the city of Tigard now presents two faces to
I
the business community along with a selective and discriminatory
enforcement of some ordinances that directly affect business.
Many business men were financially impacted when main street
was closed from 8 to 5 for new sewers and repaving. The construction
could have been completed at night allowing business to continue
during the day.
I
I would also like to assist the Mayor in his already expressed
[
i
interest of revamping ordinances that are out dated, unenforcable
and hurt business.
c
I'm also concerned that the city has leaned too far,
detrimentally dealing with homeless people. Tigard is not all fancy
homes and comfortable incomes. It also has an underbelly of those
'
less fortunate, witness the two homeless shelters operating here
in winter. I'm concerned about a city unwilling to donate shelter
i
space in a public facility.
i
Question 4.
I will be available for necessary council meetings.

RE: Answer to questions requested.
Dear Cathy:
'
As requested, here are my replies for your questions:
i
Question #1, interest, background and experience.
I would like to show interest as a Counselor to finish Wendi
Conover Hawleys appointment. As a graduate of the Tigard
Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Seminar of 1992 and fellow
businessman of Tigard for the past several years, I feel as
though I would be a good replacement for her term. I have
served for over five years on the Tigard Chamber of Commerce
Political Action/Business Advocacy Committee and have kept
abreast of issues that effect our community as well as the
business community at large. There are two different
businesses that I manage with my wife Marilyn, Hudson Plaza
and M.H. Construction at 12900 SW Pacific Highway in Tigard.
As a construction company building light commercial/
residential handicap housing, I deal with many municipalities
throughout the state with traffic, zoning, building, fire
and housing needs. As a commercial property owner of 22,000
sq. ft. of office and retail space, I deal with many diverse
business owners from food service to finance.
Question #2, major challenges and participation.
Growth, transportation and identity all have the opportunity
to be shaped as the regional communities grow. My
participation would be to monitor the changes and make it as
sensible as possible. I would stand for keeping the high
standards we have in our community at the same time try to
resolve the ill issues of transportation and congestion.
Question #3, community concerns.
K thru 12 education and activities costs, transportation and
congestion, The Dolan suit, water supply and contract, Tigard
Triangle and Metro Councils 2040 Plan.
Question #4, additional m etinc{s
I'm not opposed to reasonable additional meetings that relate
to what my job would be as a Councilman. Until it was
decided that I would run for another term I would hesitate to
make any additional commitments. I presently am involved
with the Tigard Chamber and plan to stay involved as such.

Tigard Oregon 97223
Gentlemen,
f Thank-you for the opportunity to submit my name for the vacant position on the City
d Council and respond to the following questions.
Ouestion #1
My interest in filling the vacant City Council postion comes from many directions. My
years on the Tigard Planning Commission have provided me with a great deal of knowledge in;
land use issues, transportation needs, park requirements, etc., with a history of where the City has
been and a direction to where the City is heading. My desire is to help make Tigard a city to be
proud of and maintain its reputation as a quality community to live. I believe that my work with t
the City has given me the background and experinences that would be benifical and of value to the
present City Council. Over the last few years I fell that I have built the foundation for what would
make me a excellent canidate for City Council. I have entertained the idea of running for City
Council, but I have had some hesitation in committing to the responsibility that a full term on the
City Council would take . This opportuity provides me a chance to "test the waters" and see
what is involved in being on the Council before making a major decision to take on a full term
position.
I have been a long time volunteer within the City of Tigard. Presently I am the Vice
President of the Tigard Planning Commission (also served as President for a short time between i
Commission elections). I was first appointed to the Commission on October, 1990. During my
terms on the Commission I have served on the Transportation Committee, 99w Task Force and
the Tigard Triangle Advisory Team. Prior to being appointed to the Planning Commision, I was
appointed to the Tigard Economic Development Committee. I have been ask by City Staff to
provide support work in the hiring of the Community Development Director and the Public
I Works Director. My position at Portland General Electric requires me to work with both City of
Tigard Engineering and Planning Staff affording me the opportuity to develop an excellent
working relationship with them. On the Planning Commission I am required to make desisions on
much the same issues as the City Council. The knowledge I have of how the City functions and
present issues would make for an easy transition back to a fully staffed City Council, cutting down
on the necessary training or background information that may be required by another candidate. I
^ feel that it is time to take on another challenge in a attempt to further serve the City of Tigard.

Ouestion #2
There are a number of important issues facing our City over the next few years. Issues
topping my list are the Metro 2040 Plan, future transportation requirements and open space
needs. The Metro 2040 Plan concerns me the most, to lose the ability to plan and to determine a
cities future land use and transportation needs would, in my opinion be a disaster. We need to
keep the control of Tigards planning role and needs within Tigards control. With the increase in
I
Tigards population, the City's transportation system has long past the point of being safe or even
i
adequate with no easy fix, it will take major steps and decisions to improve them. The need for
open spaces are also an important issue facing the City, with development taking more and more
;
vacant land it becomes increasingly important to secure some of what land we have left to be used
!
as open space to be used by the population of Tigard. An issue that hits a little closer to home is
j
the relationship of the Tigard Planning Commission and the City Council. It would be my hope
J
that I could bring a better understanding of what the Commission does (making decisions based
J
on information from staff, CIT's and the public) and how the Council can better use the
recommendation sent up from the Commission, It is of my opinion that the Council is not taking
advantage of what the Commission has recommended to its entirety. The City staff is one of the
best I have ever worked with and I have worked with a number of city, county and state agencies,
and by far C.O.T.'s is the finest and by using their expertise more effectively would be another of
my priorities. Because of my diversity of knowledge of the City both as a volunteer in the City,
my 18 years as a resident and my professional background, I can offer possibly an additional point
of view for the council to consider.
Ouestion #3 j
My involvement with the City may not be as well known as that of the Councils, but when
people do hear of my position on the Planning Commission, I am often asked "why" the City is
doing or for that matter not doing certain things. They discuss transportation problems,
development concerns and what is going to happen in the future orjust plain why things must
change. But most of all the biggest concern is with traffic, they worry about Tigard traffic
becoming a L.A. type problem. Because I live & work within the City I am constantly fighting
the traffic, they feel as I do that something has to be done. The other concern of people I talk
with is open spaces and or parks. Tigard in their opinion is in need of more parks, not just green
I
spaces or walking parks but large parks to support baseball/softball and soccer/football fields.
When my kids where of that age to be using these fields there was a shortage then and with the
increasing population the need is even greater. People I talk to just want a quality place to live
and play and I have the same concerns, otherwise I wouldn't spend as much time volunteering as I
do.
l
Ouestion #4
Portland General Electric and the Management in particular are very supportive of my
work with the City. They have never questioned the time I have spent on Company time to
preform task or attend meetings as needed for my City work. Meetings during the day do not
pose a problem and with the age of my kids their activities generally do not include Dad, leaving
. J
i
weekends free. When I contemplated submitting my name for consideration for this position my

Dear Mayor Nicoli and Council Members,
As I read the four questions posed, what you really want to know is what kind
of a person is Tim O'Brien? What is his motivation to join us on the city
I
I council? What qualifications does Tim have that will make him a I
productive member of our team? Rather than answer the questions as stated f
I I would like to share with you who I am and why I want to become involved
with you through the following paragraphs. {
I have lived in SW Portland for my entire life and have seen many changes
taking place; cow pastures transforming into neighborhoods, the rivers
becoming more and more polluted, the roads and highways becoming
congested. I can recall being a kid walking through Multnomah Village and
eating a root beer float during the Multnomah Days celebration.
The challenges and opportunities that were faced back then are not all that
different than those we face today. We have concerns about keeping our
environment clean and green. We have concerns about how to handle the
increased traffic and population growth. We have concerns about how we
are taxed. We have concerns about keeping our neighborhoods safe from '
drugs & crime. We all want a place that we can raise our families, work, and
enjoy being alive in such a beautiful state.
i
It is how we step up and face these challenges & opportunities today that will
r affect how we live tomorrow. We are at a point now where critical decisions +
are being made that will affect all of our lives for many years to come. Every
meeting this year is vitally important which is why I am excited to serve this
short term as an appointed council member.
I Why Tim O'Brien? I am proud to have grown up in Portland and have
enjoyed keeping tuned in and becoming involved in associations &
committees. The parts of "who I am" that will really benefit the council are
my ability to communicate clearly and with many types of people; an energy
and enthusiasm to become involved in group and committee work; the
ability to ask good penetrating questions; capacity to listen empathetically to
others and being able to work towards a group consensus; readiness to do
l hard fact finding committee work; once I have the facts I am comfortable
making clear thought out decisions. In looking at myself and listening to
what others have to say about me these are the attributes that motivated me
to be involved in local government and why I would be a real asset to the
r~
Council.

January 15, 1996
To the Mayor and City Council of Tigard:
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the vacancy on the City Council. I am
applying not to fulfill some desire on my part, but because I feel I can bring some
attributes to the Council. Parts of my answers were previously given to you in my initial
letter of interest. As your requested, here are my replies to your questions:
Question 1: Please describe why you are interested in the City Council position; also
describe your background, experience and education which you believe qualifies you to
serve on the Council.
Answer. I have lived in Washington County for 25 years, and 14 years ago my wife
and I bought our first house in Tigard. We have lived there ever since and have raised
three children. Since my move here, I have felt that citizens are more than just a part of
the city government, they are the government. Therefore, I have given hundreds of
volunteer hours to various community and civic committees.
There are at least five advantages I feel I can bring to a position on the Council.
1. A balanced perspective / Many people feel they have a balanced view. In fact, the
term has almost become a cliche, it is used so often. However, my background
demonstrates a true understanding of the various (and sometimes contentious) factors
that affect the decision-making process. My first volunteer position in Tigard was that
of an NPO chairman. For a while, I represented mostly the residential point of view on
city issues. I was a strong advocate for balanced growth (almost another cliche) and
looked at planning issues from the homeowner's perspective. When the city formed
the Economic Development Committee under the guidance of Bill Monahan, I was
L asked to join by the mayor at that time, John Cook. I was elected the first permanent
Chairman of the Committee, and served a full term. During that time, I represented the
business and development community and saw things from a different "angle". One
thing I quickly learned was that almost all planning decisions had an effect on
transportation, and that traffic was a topic every faction in the city was strongly
interested in. When the Transportation Committee was formed, the mayor at that time,
Tom Brian, asked me to serve there. I accepted, and was voted Co-chair. Apparently i
my work was noticed and appreciated because County Commissioner Roy Rogers
asked me to serve on the Washington County Planning Commission. I was nominated
by Roy and approved by the Board of Commissioners. I served a four year term, the
last three years as Vice-chair. During this time, I immersed myself in land use planning
issues and learned what it meant to make hard decisions that changed people's lives.
One of the hardest came during the widening of SW 185 h street, where we had to I
decide on which plan out of three to approve.

solved taking people's houses, and I agonized over the decision. But when
to vote, I felt good about my choice, since I had studied the plans well. In
A one, you can only do the best you can. Recently, I have been serving on
anning Commission, where I have dealt with such issues as the green
ct and various plan amendments.
i
at I have represented both the residential and business communities and
ow planning is tied to transportation. I have a background in neighborhood
,nomic development and transportation.
e role of community government / A popular view of a community
s that it is there to serve the people of the community, i.e. the government
A the citizens are the customers. I take it one step further and feel that
y government is the people. In my mind, it's almost like a co-op. The
Hall should work as a team, not just with themselves, but with the rest of
Nhen people come to the building, it's usually for help. If a team concept
Clem solving becomes the practice, then that's when government and the
single entity.
cooperation and compromise / I have sat at many committee and council
number of jurisdictions where confrontation seemed to be the standard
ng to solve problems. This develops an "us versus them" mentality which
st in government. Not only that, it doesn't result in a fair decision, only one
he strongest (read: loudest) proponent. Decisions should be made on the
of the criteria, not by "giving the grease to the squeakiest wheel".
support / In the past, I have run twice for City Council, both times
id in three-way races. This indicates there is a large number of people in
community, and feel that my one-year tenure would make the citizens of Tigard proud of 4
me.
5. Familiarity with issues and personnel / Since I am current on issues facing the
Council and have worked with numerous personnel at City Hall for many years, I would
be able to come on board relatively "up to speed". While I would have to review current
issues and packets, there would not have to be a lot of time spent on training. This
would be an advantage for the citizens and for the Council.
Question 21 What do you consider to be the major challenges of opportunities facing
Tigard in the next year and how would your participation on Council help to improve the
City's response to those challenges.
i
i
I
P
Mark Padgett / Page 3
Answer: There is no doubt that the biggest challenge facing Tigard is our response to
growth. With Metro's 2040 plan soon to be implemented and the demand on our
buildable land for more housing and commercial development, maintaining our quality of
life balanced against this necessary growth will be a challenge of the highest magnitude.
I feel confident that my background in planning will be an invaluable asset in setting the
course for our city's future. As I stated before, I have a truly balanced view and attitude `
toward development, having represented both the homeowner and the developer point
of view. In general, I do not favor comprehensive plan changes unless the applicant
fully proves their case. My view is that a proposed change in the comp plan is not a 50-
50 proposition, but must be totally proven by the applicant. The comp plan, which is the
document we have adopted as our blueprint for growth, was developed after a long and
involved process and should not be set aside lightly.
The other two major issues are transportation and crime. Transportation is directly tied !
to growth, and continuing to require new development to conform to city conditions of
street improvement during development will manage the transportation situation to a
great degree. The main transportation issues are Pacific Highway gridlock, street
development in the triangle and continued support of the Western Bypass including a
widening of Highway 217. 1 am also in favor of redesigning the 1-5/217 interchange and
the 72nd street exits, both of which will become imperative after the commercial
development of the Phil Lewis site.
a
As for crime, unmanaged growth will contribute to the problem. I favor the
neighborhood policing concept and the continuation of the school officer program. Also,
I feel that the city should include in its budget, funds for community youth sports and
recreation programs. These programs are the most cost effective method of gang and
!
drug prevention. They teach respect for authority, promote a good self-image and
provide positive role models for young children.
f
Question 3: What issues of concern have you heard from the community?
Answer: Most of the comments I hear as I work in the community are related to the
three issues stated above; growth, transportation and crime. Homeowners have a
tendency to want to preserve the status quo and don't want more growth while the
business community supports growth to increase its customer base. Virtually everyone
come in contact with complains about transportation and crime issues. When I hear
these types of comments, I usually ask that person if they have a suggestion.
Unfortunately, I rarely hear a comment which would mean a commitment from that
person to get more involved in the community. The attitude of "Let George Do It" is
alive and well in Tigard. I would support a public relations campaign by the city to
(
encourage more citizen participation. One minor point which may help do that would be
i
to print a map of the boundaries of the CITs in the monthly city newsletter so people
would know which CIT they were in. I would also support monthly Saturday "info
sessions" at City Hall where rotating Council members and staff would be available to
answer any citizen questions and hear any comments. As society changes its work
schedules, many people are riot always available in the evenings for meetings.

Commissioner Roy Rogers asked me to serve on the Washington County
Planning Commission. I was nominated by Roy and approved by the Board of
Commissioners. I served a four year term, the last three years as Vice-chair.
During this time, I immersed myself in land use planning issues and learned
what it meant to make hard decisions that changed people's lives. One of the
hardest came during the widening of SW 185th street, where we had to decide on
which plan out of three to approve.
Each plan involved taking people's houses, and I agonized over the decision.
But when it came time to vote, I felt good about my choice, since I had studied
the plans well. In cases like that one, you can only do the best you can.
Recently, I have been serving on the Tigard Planning Commission, where I have
dealt with such issues as the green spaces project and various plan
amendments.
-
My point is that I have represented both the residential and business
communities and know how planning is tied to transportation. I have a
j
background in neighborhood planning, economic development and
transportation.
2. View of the role of community government / A popular view of a community
government is that it is there to serve the people of the community, i.e. the
government is the store and the citizens are the customers. I take it one step
further and feel that the community government is the people. In my mind, it's
almost like a co-op. The people at City Hall should work as a team, not just with
themselves, but with the rest of the citizens. When people come to the building,
it's usually for help. If a team concept based on problem solving becomes the
practice, that's when government and the people act as single entity.
3. Attitude of cooperation and compromise / I have sat at many committee and
council meetings in a number of jurisdictions where confrontation seemed to be
the standard method of trying to solve problems. This develops an "us versus
them" mentality which furthers distrust in government. Not only that, it doesn't
result in a fair decision, only one which favors the strongest proponent.
i
Decisions should be made on the merit and logic of the criteria, not by "giving
the grease to the squeakiest wheel".
ri
4. Community support / In the past, I have run twice for City Council, both times
.
finishing second in three-way races. This indicates there is a large number of
people in Tigard who feel I would make a good councilor. At this time, I have no
aspirations of running for a full term at the end of this one-year vacancy. I would
i
be proud to serve my community, and feel that my one-year tenure would make
the citizens of Tigard proud of me.
5. Familiarity with issues and personnel / Since I am current on issues facing
the Council and have worked with numerous personnel at City Hall for many
years, I would be able to come on board relatively "up to speed". While I would
have to review current issues and packets, there would not have to be a lot of
time spent on training. This would be an advantage for the citizens and for the
R
Council.

i
The issues that most recently have come up are traffic problems and pedestrian safety,
particularly for our children who either walk to school, ride their bikes, or wait for the
schoolbus. With school funding cutbacks, many more children are walking or riding
their bikes. Pedestrian crosswalks, and signals, must be a high priority for the City.
You can't replace a child, but you can put up with a washboard road or potholes if that's
what it takes to find the necessary funding. Another issue is the perceived increase in
episodes of random violence, such as the recent drive-by shooting at Tigard High
School. Safety of the citizenry in general is also a concern (e.g., increase in "gang"
type behaviors such as graffiti), but I have heard only positive comments about the
Tigard Police.
4. As you are probably aware, Council has three regularly scheduled meetings

RE: Council Position 2
1 Cathy Wheatley, City Recorder
City of Tigard
13125 SW Hall Blvd.
Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Ms Wheatley,
Reading Harry Bodine 's newspaper article I noticed that some very impressive indi-
viduals have offered to fill the Council Position 2 vacancy. It occurred to me that, regardless
which candidate is selected, Tigard will be the winner. It also occurred to me that I am
likely to be a longshot candidate.
However, since my heart is in the right place, I am submitting the following informa-
tion in response to the questions posed in the letter sent by Cathy Wheatley:
QUESTION N
Please describe why you are interested in the City Council position; also describe your back-
ground, experience and education which you believe qualifies you to serve on the Council.
PART ONE
My interest in City Council Position 2 is based on a commitment to serve my com-
munity. I believe that all citizens should participate in local government at some level.
When Alexis de Tocqueville attempted to explain America, 150 years ago, he pointed out
that "Americans are forever forming associations." They get together, he said, for commer-
cial, religious, moral and practical objectives - or "to proclaim a truth." Civic groups, he
stated, are an essential element of a democratic culture.
Sadly, people in today's society care mostly for themselves. They are taught to sneer
at government and the communal good. They prefer cocooning to community service. This
results in fewer and fewer citizens willing to participate in local government and communal
benefit programs and activities. Of the citizens willing to participate, many are motivated by
personal gain in everything from zone changing to increase property values to resume
enhancement.
After reading about Councilor Hawley's resignation in the January issue of Cityscape
1 I responded with a letter of interest out of altruistic motives. I am volunteering for City
u Council Position 2 to serve my community because I know that I can make a positive dif-
ference. You can be assured that my service would be exemplary and above reproach.
QUESTION #1

PART TWO
My background, experience and education provide me with the knowledge and train-
ing essential for this position. In fact, the breadth of my applicable experiences should prove
to be second to none. The following highlights should bear out my qualification to serve on
the Council:

Conclusion
_ I believe that the foregoing shows that I am qualified to serve on the Tigard City
Council. First, this information on my background, experience and education exhibits my
strength and diversity in business management. My business experience covers fiscal and
human resource management which would be valuable on the Council. Second, it shows a
varied and continuing education which provides a solid academic and technical background
to draw upon while on the Council. And, finally, my community activities prove not only
my desire to serve the community, but my ability to work with others on boards and/or
committees.
There are also the qualities that were mentioned on my letter of interest. They
included a rational thought process, diplomacy, sense of fair play and the ability to ".see the
trees from the forest."

QUESTION #2
What do you consider to be the major challenges or opportunities facing Tigard in the next
t
year and how would your participation on Council help to improve the City's response to
those challenges.
Ch
/
i
ll
a
enge
opportun
ty
Phil Lewis Elementary School sale. Resolving the issues of zoning and traffic man-
agement in a timely manner to assure that the sale goes through.
I believe that I could offer a well-informed perspective to the situation. My involve-
went on the Planning and Development subcommittees in Beaverton provide a background
on many of the issues. And my ability to grasp multidimensional situations would allow me
to search for amicable resolutions.
Challeneelopimmi ity
Traffic. In general, and specifically in the Tigard Triangle. Keeping up with, and
planning for, rapidly increasing traffic and complying with state and regional requirements.
As with the school sale, my contribution would be having a well-informed point of
L~
view, along with background on many of the issues involved and the ability to grasp the
whole situation. Plus my training and experience in project management would allow my to
r
help keep things on track. i
Challengelgpportunity
METRO 2040 and the purchase of lands for Greenspaces. Keep on track with
regional growth strategies and harmonize them with Tigard plans.
My exposure to the Portland Future Focus and METRO Citizen's Planning
'
Committee give me an understanding of the overall picture of the Region 2040 growth
concept. While I do not advocate the surrender of our local control, I feel that Tigard will
benefit from the 2040 strategy and should even try to advance the timetables when applica-
ble. I live, and am a Precinct Committeeman, in the Bull Mountain area.
Challengelopportunity
Establish specific criteria for Local Improvement Districts and resolve the Dartmouth
t
LID debacle.
.
My primary offering in this area would be a resolute campaign to bring closure to
these issues. I feel that the attributes listed in previous circumstances would also provide a
benefit to the Council on these issues.

Dear Tigard City Council:
It would be an honor to be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Tigard City Council. I believe my
experience, enthusiasm, and hard work would be valuable assets to the City of Tigard. I am interested in i
serving on the Council to help make a difference in the quality of life in the Tigard area.
Currently I am un Assistant Relationship Manager with U.S. Bank of Oregon. My spouse and I own a
house in Pebblecreek, a Tigard subdivision. 1 have been interested and a participant in several community
organizations in the past. I am presently serving on the Board of Directors for the Oregon Club of
Portland. I understand the time commitment and energy it takes to be apart of volunteer citizen groups.
In my current position at US Bank I make decisions that often times involve complex problems using both
data and personal contact. I listen to the issues of both the individual businesses and the Bank and then I
strive to reach a comprise between the two groups. The skill of identifying the salient issue or issues and
developing a solution, I believe would serve me well on the council. I have confidence my communication
skills and problem solving ability would support the efficiency of the council. It would be an honor to be
considered for the Council opening.

RE: Council Position 2 JAN 0 4 1995
Tigard City Council

City of Tigard
13125 SW Hall Blvd.
Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Council Members,
Please accept his letter and resume as an application to fill the unexpired term of
Councilor Hawley. The resume is to show business experience, educational background, and
community participation.
Over the years I have been active in voluntarism in Portland and Beaverton city govem-
ments, but not Tigard. Since I have lived in Tigard (four years now) my participation has been "
limited to volunteering at civic events. Because of my advocacy for citizen involvement in local
government I have been looking for a way to serve at the City of Tigard.
I am asking to complete Councilor Hawley's term to bring rational thought processes
,
diplomacy, sense of fair play and the ability to "see the forest from the trees" to the Council
.
My position as an outsider in Tigard government circles may appear to be a detriment.
However, I can assure you that I am familiar with the governmental process and follow local
issues closely.
Please consider the information on my resume, particularly page three, when considering
my application. As a self employed small businessman with a wife who manages an 80 unit
Tigard apartment complex I feel that I will be an excellent choice.
i
Thank you for your consideration. The following references may prove helpful for deter-
mining my character:
Rob Drake, Mayor of Beaverton 526-2497
Craig Huck, Pastor of Calvary Chapel of Tigard 624-4984

Question #1
Please describe why you are interested in the Citv Council position; also describe your
f
background, experience and education which you believe qualifies you to serve on the Council.
I am a second generation Portland area native. I attended the University of Oregon where I
received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Except for my college years, three years in
Germany, and three years in San Diego, I have lived in the Portland area all my life. I have lived
{
in Tigard for five years. I have served for two years on the Tigard Planning Commission. Several
I
months ago, I was elected President by my fellow commissioners.
I have extensive professional experience in land planning, design and development of complex
projects. 1 am currently project manager with Mayer/Reed for the design of a $6.2 million multi-
phase waterfront park in downtown Salem. The project includes fountains, a boat dock, a $ 1
million multi-purpose pavilion building, parking lots, an amphitheater, a large pedestrian plaza,
and large open spaces. I manage a team consisting of architects, civil, electrical, mechanical,
structural, traffic, geotechnical and environmental engineers. The project required permits from the
Army Corps of Engineers, the Division of State Lands, the Department of Environmental Quality,
the Public Utility Commission, ODOT and the City of Salem. It was subject to Willamette
Greenway regulations and FEMA regulations in addition to the usual planning and zoning
requirements.
I have played a key role in the design of the 348-acre Washington State University Campus in

Vancouver from the beg
projects include Westside Light Rail, the $1.5 million Tom McCall Waterfront Park Utilities
Improvements, the Portland Police Memorial and many ODOT projects.
I have appeared before Design Review Boards, Planning Commissions, Hearings Officers, the
i'
Portland Metropolitan Arts Commission, the Portland Urban Forestry Commission as well as City
Councils for various projects.
My professional experience in development issues and my experience on the planning commission
{
can be a valuable asset to the City Council. Tigard is currently experiencing rapid growth. Many
of Tigard's most pressing problems and greatest opportunities are growth related. I would bring to
the Council an understanding of development issues, a familiarity with state and local land use law,
an ability to read and understand plans, and an appreciation for the most common citizen concerns
related to a development application.
Question #2
What do you consider to be the major challenges or opportunities facing Tigard in the new year and
how would your participation on Council help to improve the City's response to those challenges?
There are two highly significant issues that I feel will pose major challenges to the City of Tigard
a
over the next few years.
I have long felt that traffic on Pacific Highway is Tigard's most significant problem. In the eyes
j
of most residents of the metro area the arterial is Tigard. The City has an image problem as well as
a traffic problem. I understand that the Pacific Highway transportation study currently underway
Wilson
page 3
is nearly complete. Once it is complete the Council will make decisions concerning implementing
its recommendations. Over the last five years I have completed many ODOT projects and
developed good working relationships with many senior officials at ODOT Region 1 Headquarters.
I would like to work together with the Council, ODOT and adjacent property owners to seek
solutions to the highway's problems.
The most significant issue facing Tigard in the next few years is the implementation of the Metro
2040 plan. Over the last two years, l have become quite familiar with the plan. I believe that its
implementation will be highly controversial. There was strong opposition among the property
owners to the rezoning of the Tigard Triangle. The 2040 plan will likely require far more parcels
to be rezoned. New zoning categories may need to be created. In order to fully implement the
plan, zones with minimum densities may need to be created. In addition, there may need to be
changes to parking standards, setbacks and other standards. As a Councilor, I would seek to
modify our Comprehensive Plan in such a way that both achieves Metro's goals and satisfies a
large majority of our citizens.
Question #3
3
What issues of concern have you heard from the community?
°
I believe that most Tigard residents are satisfied with their community. I think that the citizens of
this City receive a high level of service for the tax dollars expended. We have a fine police force,
an exceptional library, and a good park system. The greatest complaint concerns traffic. Our local
streets need much improvement. From my experience on the Planning Commission, the single
issue which causes the greatest concern is any change which will cause an increase in
neighborhood traffic.
Question #4
L"
As you are probably aware, Council has three regularly scheduled meetings per month. In
addition, Citv Council members all share responsibility in serving on other committees,
commissions and boards which mean additional meetings during the dav, evenings and sometimes
on weekends. Will you be available for additional meetings?
I have a nearly perfect attendance record in my two years on the Planning Commission. I would
be able to give the same commitment to regular City Council meetings. However, I have other
significant demands on my time. I would available only for a limited number of other
engagements.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Bill Monahan, City Administrator
FROM: Cathy Wheatley, City Recorder
DATE: November 21, 1995
SUBJECT: Options - Council Vacancy
Councilor Hawley - Position No. 2
As you requested, here are some options for Council Position No. 2 if Councilor
I
Hawley resigns on December 31, 1995.
City Charter, Chapter 111, Section 7 states:
"In the event the office of mayor or councilor becomes vacant before
I the normal expiration of its term a special election shall be held at the
next available date to fill the office for the unexpired term. Such an
electio
h
ll
l
n s
a
on
y 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 ordinances not
inconsistent with such election laws. The council may appoint a person
1
to fill a vacancy until an election can be held."
}
Facts:
J
• End of term for Position 2 is 12/31/96
'
t
.
• Next available election occurs in March 196.
• Regular election date for Position 2 occurs in November 196 for term
commencing on January 1, 1997; appointee may run for the position.
Option
s•
• Council may appoint a person for the remaining term of the position
(January 1 - December 31, 1996).
I
• Council may choose not to appoint.
If Council decides to appoint, then they set forth the process for the
appointment. One example is to ask for applications and then interview the
candidates. Council could also choose a nomination/voting process.
1 '
If the Council chooses to appoint by application and conduct interviews, here
Is a sample of some of the decisions to be made:
> Announce opening of the position and call for applicants.
> What information would the Council like on the application
form. (The application in the past consisted of a letter from
interested persons stating why they wanted to serve as Tigard
j
Councilor.)
> Determine the deadline for receipt of applications.
> Decide how many applicants the Council wants to interview.
> Decide if the Council wants to list the criteria for selecting
applicants.
i
> Decide whether the Council wants to conduct a panel interview.
> If the Council conducts a panel interview, what questions will be
asked. (Again, in the past, each Council member developed and
asked each candidate three or four questions).
> Decide on a Council meeting date to conduct the interviews and
make final decision. One option would be to call a special
meeting.
Council discussions on process, candidates, and voting must be done
in an open public meeting.

Dear Jim,
over the last several months, I have been considering the possibility of
$
resigning my position on Tigard City Council. There are many issues that
have required my passion and dedication as in no other time in my life, and
I have enjoyed the lessons offered both from the situations and the people
available to me as a result of serving in this office. I have especially
;
appreciated the energy and dedication you bring to the office of Mayor, and
r
I am encouraged that the City is in good hands under your leadership.
C')
My health and family situation, however, will require my undivided
attention for a while, and, of course, they must come ahead of my work for
the city.
It is with a sense of sadness that I hereby tender my resignation
(effective December 31, 1995), since I have for the most part enjoyed
chewing on both meaty and trivial issues as we work out the differences of
opinions from people that reside here. I am wondering where I will next
i
debate issues and lead groups to concensus - but I know it will occur
again.
F
E
Please share this letter with whomever necessary so that we can start the
process of appointing someone to fill the last year of my office.
Thank you for your support and understanding, and please pass my best
wishes on to the rest of the Council and to the staff.

Sincerely,
Wendi Conover Hawley
