CITs.

Ms. Newton presented an update on the items discussed at the May meeting. With j
reference to the CIP, she said that staff would meet with the CITs during the Winter to see
if there was any interest in pursuing alternate funding for projects which the CITs had
suggested earlier but didn't get funded through the CIP.
Ms. Newton presented the CIT notebook developed by staff to provide a history of CIT
actions and agendas; it is available at all CIT meetings, with a permanent copy in the f
Library.
Ms. Newton commented that she hoped the issue of the roles of the CITs and Planning
Commission would be resolved following the Council's adoption of the Planning
Commission bylaws on September 24. She noted that the public turnout for the Metro
2040 meetings was not as high as the Planning Department had hoped for.
Ms. Newton reviewed internal staffing changes to the CIT program. These included Ms.
Drummond helping Ms. Newton, the program coordinator, with paperwork and agendas,
and development of CIT coordinators to involve and familiarize more staff with the CITs
(see handout) and to ensure coordination of appropriate staff resources to address issues
" on CIT agendas.
Councilor Hunt commented that he thought the issue between the Planning Commission
and CITs should be resolved prior to adoption of the bylaws. Councilor Scheckla
concurred. Ms. Newton said that she discussed the issue with Mr. Hendryx who indicated
j.~ he wanted the Planning Commission to concentrate on land use issues rather than CIP
issues. She said she did not think staff's direction ran contrary to the bylaws but she
' would read over the bylaws to make sure. Mr. Bewersdorff pointed out that the bylaws
dealt with procedures and that the issue between the Planning Commission and the CITs
was outside the bylaws.
Ms. Newton reviewed successes of the CIT program, including the signal at 79th and
Durham, the flashing red light at 121st and Walnut, the Traffic Calming Committee, the
speed hump program, and resolution of the parking problem in the Waverly subdivision.
She mentioned that the CIP process went very well, with most CIT members satisfied with
the process overall.
i Mike Mills suggested further advertisement of the 50150 program for funding speed
humps, noting that several neighborhoods indicated interest in the past.
Ms. Newton reviewed "stalls" in the CIT program. She pointed out the varying levels of
attendance at the meetings, commenting that staff would like to see a regular crowd of 20-
30 people with increased attendance for issues. She reported that she was having
difficulty finding facilitators for the East CIT.
Mr. Mills suggested looking at attendance as a "success" rather than a "stall", noting that
j people attended a meeting to solve a problem and once the problem was solved, the
attendance dropped off.

Councilor Scheckla asked that the CITs be contacted regarding helping with traffic and
crowd control at the Hot Air Balloon Festival next year. He suggested having
entertainment following the Night Glow to phase out the crowd's departure over time.
Mark Mahon explained that they had not been prepared for the huge success of the t
Festival this year, but intended to learn from the experience to better handle the crowd at
next year's Festival.
Councilor Rohlf inquired about an land use process education program for the community.
Ms. Newton said that staff made a conscious effort every two years to educate people.
Councilor Moore suggested educating people at the CIT level as to why certain land use
decisions were made by the Planning Commission or City Council, especially in the
context of the Community Development Code. Councilor Scheckla suggested informing
people of the genesis of the Metro 2040 plan. Ms. Newton commented that the most
popular programs were the Police programs dealing with safety and security issues.
Ms. Newton asked for feedback on holding two CIT meetings a month for all CITs; the
first part of the meeting would be for educational issues of interest to everyone and the
second part on individual issues of interest to particular areas of the City, developing an
issue team to work on the issues and report back to the CITs.
The Council discussed the suggestion. Ms. Jelderks commented that doing so would
reduce the amount of staff time required to work with the CITs. Ms. Newton noted that
the individual CITs did not want to give up their meetings at which they dealt with issues
of particular concern to them. Mr. Mahon suggested holding a joint CIT meeting after the _
r--, end of summer vacation to bring people back into the process after time off.
i
! Councilor Moore spoke in support of a joint meeting to save on staff resources and to
cover issues of City-wide interest, using Task Forces to address specific issues. Ms.
Newton said that staff deal[ with two issues at CIT meetings: general
educational/informational issues and issues affecting people personally. Ms. Jelderks
suggested break-out sessions for the individual CITs following a general meeting which
would allow them to work on issues of unique interest. Ms. Newton said that in any case
she would discuss potential changes with the CITs prior to making them.
t
Councilor Rohlf asked the facilitators how they felt about the land use issues that came to
the CITs. He cited the case of Mr. Bledsoe's proposal to change roads last year,
commenting that at the Council meeting he had not been clear on the CITs' position on
that proposal though they were told that the CITs supported it. Ms. Carver commented
that the South CIT had opposed that proposal.
The Council discussed how to get CIT input to Planning Commission and Council
hearings. Ms. Newton explained that people with land use issues were now required to
give the CITs an opportunity to hear their presentation; the CITs did not have to hear the
presentation but if they chose to do so, they had to hear it at the next meeting or they lost
their opportunity; this was intended to prevent delays in the land use process.
Councilor Rohlf expressed concern that input from the CITs could put the public in an {
awkward position if Council unanimously voted the opposite of the CITs recommendation.
Ms. Newton noted that this had been a concern with the NPOs also.

3. UPDATE: PEER COURT, YOUTH PROGRAMS, AND OFFICER AT
WASHINGTON SQUARE
Ron Goodpaster, Chief of Police, introduced Officer Rick Boothby who recently
transferred from the Washington Square Officer position to the Youth Service Officer
position.
Officer Rick Boothby reported on his tenure as the Washington Square Officer
(November 1995 through August 1996) at the Community Policing Office set up by the
Police Department. He said that duties included being available to citizens and businesses
to answer questions, to be visibly present as a deterrent, and to handle calls for service
(primarily theft and fraud), leaving the Washington Square district patrol officer available f
for calls outside the mall area.
Officer Boothby said he worked with both small and large stores on loss prevention
strategies and how to prepare police reports to expedite the process for the police patrol
officer who answered a call. He noted that both merchants and citizens visibly felt more
at ease seeing a police officer on duty. He mentioned that he handled 414 calls in his 10
month tenure, 90-95% of which required police reports. Of those, 75% involved an
arrest.
j In response to a question from Councilor Moore, Chief Goodpaster explained they were
waiting until January to do a statistical analysis comparing the effect of the continuous
presence in this calendar year to the lack of a continuous presence last year. Officer
Boothby said he knew the program had taken a load off of patrol positions working the
area. Chief Goodpaster said it was a savings in finances and response time as well as a
link with businesses in loss prevention training.
i Councilor Rohlf noted the position was originally implemented in response to gang
activity at Washington Square. Officer Boothby said the private security kept on top of
any gang activity; his being there has improved the flow of information regarding gangs.
Councilor Rohlf asked about security in the parking lots. Chief Goodpaster spoke to the
importance of Officer Boothby's visible presence in dealing with gangs. He noted that the
Washington Square office turned out to be a very popular drop-in center for the patrol
officers, and that the constant coming and going of police cars in the parking lot and the
visible presence of Officer Boothby's police car helped prevent crime.
In response to questions from Councilor Scheckla, Officer Boothby explained that security t
immediately called him if they heard a call before he did, and the police then conducted
any investigation needed. Chief Goodpaster noted that the private security had purchased
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 17.1996 - PAGE 4
i
~ y
n police "portables" so they could remain in contact with Officer Boothby without going
through Dispatch. Officer Boothby said that Washington County Sheriffs Deputies came
through often as part of the Gang Unit that occasionally walked the mall. {
Officer Boothby reported on the GREAT program (Gang Resistance Education &
Training). He reviewed the specific components of the program designed to reach the
early adolescents who were most vulnerable to gangs. He said that he was scheduled as
part of mandatory classroom curriculum to present the GREAT program to the 7th graders
at Ballard Middle School in November. He was also working with Twality Middle School
and hoped to work with St. Anthony's School also.
In response to a question from Councilor Scheckla, Officer Boothby explained that while
the GREAT program was taken off of the DARE program, DARE focused on drug and
alcohol education while GREAT focused on gangs.
Officer Boothby explained the Peer Court program in which first-time juvenile offenders
were tried and sentenced by other first-time juvenile offenders who ran the entire court
proceedings (except for the judge who was a volunteer attorney providing direction as
needed). He said that only minor crimes were handled in this court; more serious
violations went through the juvenile court system.
Officer Boothby explained that the need for this program arose from the overcrowding of
the juvenile court system; first time offenders did not receive the immediate consequences
for poor choices that might deter them from making other poor choices in the future. j
Officer Boothby reviewed the benefits of the program, including destruction of the 1
juvenile's record if he/she completed 100% of the program, consequences to crime, easing
of the juvenile department's load, teaching kids about the court system, and giving kids
who made a mistake a second chance.
Officer Boothby reviewed the criteria for participation in the program: 12-17 years of age,
parental or guardian consent and participation, first time offenders only, minor violation
or misdemeanors only. He reviewed the required and potential consequences: kids had to
attend a self esteem workshop and return to serve on the jury, restitution, community
service, essays, letters apologizing to the victim. He reported on his attendance at the
j Beaverton Peer Court, noting how well it worked.
Officer Boothby said they were in the initial stages of setting up the program, gathering
volunteers, establishing procedures, and finding a location. He said that most Peer Courts
were held after school; he was looking at the Water District building as a potential site,
although Town Hall would be the best site. He said that he hoped to begin the program in
January and eventually to meet once a week. He said that they needed adult volunteers to
serve as advisors and clerical support as well as lawyer volunteers.
In response to a question from Councilor Hunt, Chief Goodpaster reviewed the backup
personnel for GREAT and the Peer Court. He stated they felt a first-time offense was the
J time to jump on kids and give them significant consequences to their actions rather than
1 waiting until they came to the attention of the juvenile system through repeated offenses. -
I He said the main thrust of the Peer Court was to reduce recidivism; communities with this i
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 17, ER 1996 - PAGE 5 t
program reported recidivism rates down to 1% to 10% from the more common 20% to
35%. Officer Boothby noted that kids went to the Peer Court within a week of their
111 eligibility interview.
In response to a comment from Councilor Rohlf, Chief Goodpaster said the proceedings
were a public hearing, the same as in any court, and were open to the public.
Councilor Moore asked if gang activity increased as mass transit expanded. Chief
Goodpaster said yes, noting the problems Tri-Met has experienced with gangs. He said
that Beaverton and Hillsboro were watching the situation closely in anticipation that gang
activity would increase with the increase in mass transit in Washington County.
4. UPDATE: METRO 2040
in Hendryx, Community Development Director, noted that Mayor Nicoli testified at ti
j the Metro hearing. The Mayor reported that the testimony went well with the Metro i
i Council interested in elected officials' testimony. He pointed out that four other
Washington County Mayors also testified and that they each addressed different issues. €
I His comments had related to unfunded mandates, Metro taking on a daily planning
function role instead of remaining in an oversight advisory capacity, and Metro imposing
uniform standards on very diverse cities with different problems.
i
5. REVIEW OF LAND USE APPEAL PROCESS
Dick Bewersdorff, Senior Planner, gave a Power Point presentation explaining the land
use appeals process as it occurred in Tigard. He reviewed who could appeal, who made
the decisions on various land use issues, and who heard appeals on those decisions. '
Councilor Rohlf raised the notification process as important in determining who had !
standing to appeal an application. Mr. Monahan clarified that anyone who participated in
the process, regardless of whether or not they received official notice from the City, could
appeal; those who received notice but did not participate in the process lost their right to
appeal.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Monahan reviewed the noticing process, including
posting the property, notices to all property owners within a certain distance, and notice
published in the Tigard Tinges. Mr. Bewersdorff explained that the appeal fee was set by
statute, though the Council could waive it.
i
Mr. Bewersdorff explained that local land use decisions were made on four levels:
Community Development Director, Hearings Officer, Planning Commission, and City
Council. The Con m mity Development Director decided the least discretionary land use
decisions that did not require a public hearing; the Hearings Officer reviewed decisions
more discretionary in nature that required a public hearing, and appeals of certain
Community Development Director decisions; the Planning Commission reviewed the most
discretionary land use decisions, general land use, changes in land use designs, (all of
j which required a public hearing), and appeals on the majority of Community Development
Director decisions; the Council heard public hearings required to establish or change
policy as well as appeals to Planning Commission decisions; appeals to Council decisions

I
were heard at LUBA and then on through the Court of Appeals process to the Supreme j
Court as the highest authority.
Mr. Bewersdorff referred to the limitations on appeals; they were usually confined solely a
to the record unless admission of new evidence was deemed appropriate.
Councilor Hunt asked about the Director granting a variance from the Code. Mr.
Bewersdorff stated the Director could grant variances from standards, not procedures, and
reviewed the Carriage House Apartments appeal as an example.
Mr. Hendryx noted the confusion on the appeal process that resulted from the Carriage
House apartments appeal and reported that staff was working to clarify in the notice what
issues were under appeal so the public would understand what they could talk about at an
appeal. :
The Council discussed the issue of noticing. Mr. Monahan commented on the need for
community education on the appeal process procedures, and mentioned that staff would
try to make more written explanations easily available to citizens.
Councilor Rohlf expressed concern at the rigidity of the noticing process which might not
reach those most affected by an application simply because they were not within the
stipulated distance from the property. He suggested discussing noticing during the code
revisions, and spoke to using common sense in determining who received notices. Mr.
Monahan pointed out the posting of properties as an improvement in the noticing process.
Mr. Bewersdorff noted the staff review of land use issues of possible interest to the CITs f , .
and the requirement that applicants meet with the neighbors prior to submitting an
application as further ways to inform people of a land use application. Mr. Monahan
commented that developing a contact list for neighborhood associations would help get
notices out to appropriate people also.
Meeting was recessed at 9:00 p.m.
j Meeting reconvened the meeting at 9:08 p.m.
I
6. STATUS OF LONG-TERM COMPUTER SYSTEM PLAN INCLUDING PUBLIC
iii ACCESS TO INFORMATION I .
Paul deBruyn, Network Systems Manager, reviewed the Network Services
Department's strategies to deal with the ever-changing nature of computer technology in
order to serve the public, reduce costs, and provide information. He said that their five
year plan covered five areas: remaining proactive to stay ahead of the technology curve;
hardware and software; communication; telephony; and, training.
Mr. deBruyn reviewed current trends in hardware and software, commenting that the
power of the computer doubled every 18 months; staff had computers on a three-year life
cycle when they would have to be replaced to keep up with the increasingly powerful
j CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 - PAGE 7
1
programs. Trends included using desktops to browse the Internet and not knowing where
information came from, the current switch from DOS to Windows, and the competition
between Microsoft and Netscape for the operating systems market. I
Mr. deBruyn noted that communications was the fast growing area in the industry. He
reviewed strategies for communications in the four areas of public access, Councilors,
I telecommuting, and other agencies. He pointed out the public access terminal in the lobby
which allowed access to certain areas in the network, the possibility of setting up a City j
Hall kiosk at Washington Square, and the dial-up access to Tigard's two home pages, one
"official business" and one a new citizen's booklet.
Councilor Rohlf asked if there had been any discussion on charging for information. Mr.
deBruyn said no, pointing out that they were limited in what information they could
charge for. Mr. Monahan commented that according to statute they could recover the
costs of generating information but not for delivering it. E
Mr. deBruyn said they wanted to move the Councilors towards using electronic data and
e-mail (as opposed to using hardcopy) in order to reduce costs.
Mr. deBruyn mentioned that telecommuting was one means of meeting the State goal to
reduce commuting by 15% for employers with more than 15 employees on site. He was
currently testing this with Chief Goodpaster and Wayne Lowry.
Mr. deBruyn reviewed the changes in telephony in which data networks and telephone
technology were fast merging into one stream. He noted that laptops might become the
computer of the future with desktops no longer being manufactured. He cited the PCS
phone as an example of a phone that served a variety of data and other communication
functions for a monthly charge less than the government rate for cell phones.
Mr. deBruyn commented that most new employees were already familiar with Windows
and required training only in the City applications. He said they were headed in the
direction of expanding access to the Internet which would require training also.
Councilor Rohlf asked if the budget would continue to grow in this area or would Mr.
deBruyn propose a set amount for a certain number of years. Mr. deBruyn said that
following the large expenditures to upgrade the system last year, they were heading to a f
more even level of expenditure for primarily replacement costs.
In response to Council questions, Mr. deBruyn explained that Network Services obtained
software licenses for each computer in the City and purchased the common software, but
that departments were responsible to purchase software unique to their function. He said
they had a relationship with a vendor off the State contract and received the same price
regardless of the number of computers they purchased at one time. Mr. Monahan stated
at the user requested an upgraded computer with justification and then Mr. Bewersdorff -
reviewed the request in light of the system as a whole.

7. STATUS OF CITY COUNCIL GOALS °
Councilor Hunt asked that staff find a way to reduce the number of pages of written
testimony submitted at a hearing which Councilors were supposed to review while trying
to listening to spoken testimony. Mr. Monahan said they asked those whom they knew
planned to attend a hearing to submit testimony in advance, but that last minute submittals
j were a right of the participants and often a strategy to get issues in the record that could
later be appealed.
8. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
> Mr. Monahan noted that Jeannine Murrell was going to finish her term as MPAC
representative. He said that Mayor Rob Drake of Beaverton has requested the cities
submit their nominees for the Washington County Small Cities MPAC representative and
alternate by September 27; he would then send out a ballot on September 30. c.
The Council discussed the strategy of who they should nominate. Mayor Nicoli spoke for i
nominating someone from a larger city than Cornelius and from this end of the county; he
I recommended Lou Ogden from Tualatin who, contrary to Councilor Murrell's report, was
interested in serving as the MPAC representative. Councilor Scheckla reported that
Councilor Neil Clough from Cornelius was Councilor Murrell's nominee for MPAC `
representative, as he has attended all the meetings and worked with her closely on the
issues.
j
The Council asked staff to clarify whether the representative and alternate would be voted
on separately or whether the top two vote getters would get the positions.
> Mr. Monahan reported the school district would like to meet with the Council on
Thursday, October 17 to discuss Measure 47; they were preparing a resolution opposing II!
Measure 47 for the School Board. Mr. Monahan reviewed the circumstances under which
the Council could take a position on a ballot measure.
> Mr. Monahan reported that the potential dates for the Downtown Merchants Association
tour with the Council were 10/19, 10/26, or 11/9.
> Mr. Monahan noted the recent problems with erosion control, commenting that City
engineers were not satisfied with USA's erosion control methods. Mayor Nicoli noted the
history that USA took over erosion control when the City engineers failed to have
adequate controls. He commented that eventually erosion ended up in the City streets and
rights-of-way and that erosion control was a shared responsibility.
> Mr. Monahan reported a change in the process in removing the historic designation from
the Tigard Feed and Seed store which the City Attorney's office was working to resolve.
A 1995 statute change requiring cities to grant removal of historic designations at the
owner's request possibly impacted the contract to remove the building because it could
trigger a 120 day waiting period for a demolition permit.

n Mr. Monahan noted that the Planning Commission had not had the cost renovation
information provided by the property owner when they made their decision on this issue,
and that there was conjecture that some of the Commissioners might have voted differently
if they had had that information. Mayor Nicoli noted he would be gone next week and
asked for postponement of the hearing on this issue until he returned.

*Role of CIT. September 24, by-laws will be reviewed by the Planning Commission in regard to
this. A .
*2040 Presentation

Ideas & Comments
*CITs help with the Hot Air Ballon Event and transportation/traffic issues. Perhaps have
additional entertainment after "Night Glow" so that the people are not trying to leave Cook
Park all at the same time.
*Rotate "Education" every 2 years or so - Land Use, etc.
*2040/Metro
*Have one combined CIT Meeting for the first meeting after summer ends.
*Combine all CIT meetings, but separate it out so that there is a "General Education" portion.
which applies to all CITs, and a "People's Issues" which applies to the specific concerns and
needs of specific CITs. The CITs could break away to their smaller "People's Issues" meeting
j.
- - -
i -
after the "General Education" session. There is concern about how CITs would feel about this,
so this idea will be brought to each CIT meeting. Another concern is getting CIT input to the
Council. This idea will be reviewed and decided upon in the January 1997 time-frame.

AGENDA ITEM
FOR AGENDA OF 9-17-96
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON -
' COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUEIAGENDA TITLE Update on Youth Services Officer
PREPARED BY:2on er DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
To provide information to the Council on the appointment of the Youth Services Officer and an update on the
Juvenile Peer Court and G.R.EAT. programs.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Officer Rick Boothby has been appointed the Youth Services Officer and has received formal training in
instructing the G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) program and is researching Juvenile Peer
Courts. The G.R.EA.T. program will begin this tern in Fowler Middle School and plans are under way to
-present it at Twality Middle School within the year. The G.R.E.A.T. program will be instructed at the 7th grade
.level and is similar to DARE. in that it teaches the students what gangs are all about, why they shouldn't get
involved in gangs and how they can avoid the pressures of joining a gang.
The peer court concept is time tested and working well in several states and cities in Oregon. The bottom line is
that they reducejuvenile recidivism significantly. The concept is for kids to hold the positions of court
officials, attorneys, jury, clerk and bailiff and decide the punishment (within certain guidelines) of first time
offenders. An attorney serves as the judge and a citizens advisory group assists insetting up the court and
overseeing its actions. We are now actively soliciting volunteers, both students and adults, to receive training
and to be members of the peer court and the citizens advisory group.

Agenda Item No. s
Meeting of q I Iq G
'r1 LAND USE APPEAL PROCESS
I-V
1. PURPOSE-
To clarify and ensure understanding of Tigard Development Code appeal
process.
2. APPEALS IN GENERAL -
{ The Tigard Development Code and Oregon Revised Statutes provide the
opportunity for any person who is entitled to notice and who is adversely affected
or aggrieved by a land use decision to appeal that decision (request a hearing)
to the next highest level of authority. l
3. WHO MAKES WHAT DECISION? - f
Local land use decisions are made by the Community Development Director, the
Hearings Officer, the Planning Commission and City Council in ascending
authority. What decision is made by the respective authority is delineated by
the Tigard Development Code as outlined below.
o Director's Decisions - These are the least discretionary of land use
decisions. Director's Decisions do not require a public hearing and must meet I
the specific standards and criteria described in the development code. Such
decisions must be approved if applications meet the standards. The list of
Director's Decisions follows below:
- Minor partition
Major partition
- Site development review
- Temporary use
Home occupation
- Minor modification of approved planned developments
Variance I
- Sign code exception - existing signs only
Accessory uses and structures
- Flexible setback standards
9 - Zero lot line standards
_ Detailed planned development plan
Parking requirements (unlisted) j
- Tree removal permits
- Director's interpretations
- Solar access requirements
l
o Hearings Officer Decisions - These decisions are generally more
' discretionary in nature and require a public hearing. The list of Hearings Officer
decisions follows:
- Conditional use
- Sensitive lands with the floodplain
Historic overlay district amendments:
Subdivisions
Sign code exceptions - new signs
Appeal of sensitive lands decisions by Director (slopes & drainage)
Appeal of sign permit or administrative sign code exceptions
Appeal of solar access requirements
o Planning Commission Decisions - These decisions are also more
j discretionary and relate primarily to the designation of general land use and
changes in land use designations. These decisions require a public hearing and
{ are listed below:
111i - Planned development subdivisions
- Quasi-judicial comp plan amendments (recommendation to Council
only)
Quasi-judicial zoning map amendments
- Development applications referred by Director
- Appeal of Director's decision
- Conceptual planned development plan
- Interpretation of comp plan or development code as requested
- Items not specifically assigned to the Director or Hearings Officer
- Preliminary review of plan designation and formal imposition of
zoning districts on annexed land
1 - Recommendation on annexation
- Solar access requirements
- Legislative comp plan and zoning ordinance amendments
(recommendation to Council only)
o City Council - This is the final and highest level of local land use
decision making. These require a public hearing and typically establish policy or
change policy. These decisions are listed below:
- Formal imposition of comp plan designation of annexed land
- Matters referred by the Planning Commission or Hearings Officer
- Review of decisions of initial hearings body - includes Director's j .
decisions and those of the Planning Commission and Hearings
Officer as well as appeals
- Quasi-judicial plan amendments
Resolutions to Boundary Commission for annexations g
- Legislative changes to the plan, plan map and to the code t
r
- t
r 4. WHO HEARS AN APPEAL?
The development code specifies the hierarchy of appeals:
Director's Decision Appeals - These are heard by the Planning Commission
except those for sensitive lands, signs and solar access which go to Hearings
j Officer.
Hearings Officer Decision Appeals -These are heard by the City Council.
Planning Commission Decision Appeals - These are heard by the Council except
that LUBA hears appeals of Planning Commission appeal decisions.
City Council Decision Appeals - These are heard by LUBA
LUBA Decisions - These are heard by the Court of Appeals on through each
i judicial level until the U.S. Supreme Court is reached.
5. APPEAL LIMITATIONS
Director's Decisions - The development code indicates that appeals are confined
to the prior record. ORS 227 supersedes and requires a de novo hearing (a
complete hearing).
Council Review - A review of a decision by the Planning Commission or Hearings
Officer is to be heard according to the following:
1, Confined to the record of the proceedings unless Council t
determines the admission of new evidence is appropriate.
2. Limited to the grounds relied upon in the notice of review which
includes the specific grounds for the appeal.
3. Subject to written and oral argument. Written argument must be !
submitted no less than five days prior to Council consideration.
4. Reviews on the record of Hearings Officer or Planning Commission
decisions must be completed with 40 days of when the notice of
review is filed.

n MEMORANDUM

DATE: September 9, 1996
' T0: Bill Monahan
FROM: Paul de Bruyn
RE: Outline of City Council
Presentation on Future
Computer Direction
CC: Cathy
! Bill, I plan on giving a slide presentation rather
than a textual type. I believe the council members would
gain more from viewing a set of visuals, rather than giving
them a booklet to read. Here is a brief outline of the
topics to be discussed.
The purpose of the presentation will be to outline the !
overall direction in which we will head the city. This will
make the council members more familiar with the computer
goals. They will know when and why various items are
requested during budget sessions, and how they fit into the
"big picture". Specific areas to be discussed are:
F
1. Network Expansion
The network is constantly expanding, job requirements
are changing, city employees who previously had no need for
a computer are now finding their daily tasks require a
computer.
f 2. Communications
The area of largest growth is communications.
Communications for council members to give and receive
information, for employees who telecommute, for citizens who
dial in seeking information, and for communications with
other governmental agencies.
3. Hardware
The computer industry has a history of doubling
computer power every 18 months. Following that trend, we
will remain several steps behind the "bleeding edge", using
hardware and software that has already been
proven in the
J
A _
marketplace. We are projecting a turnover of equipment
every 36 months.
9. Software
We have defined our network to be Microsoft Windows
based. Currently version 3.11, eventually we will grow to
either Windows 95, Windows 97, or Windows NT. We specify
that Department specific software be Windows based.
5. New Projects
Public Access is being expanded. We have a City of
Tigard Web site for all citizens with Internet access. We
have public access computers for viewing parcel information.
These terminals will include other information as soon as we
can install it. Now located in City Hall, their locations
will expand to Washington Square.
This is a brief outline of the discussion, to be
integrated with a set of PowerPoint slides.
