1.1 Call to Order - City Council & Local Contract Review Board
Meeting was called to order at 6:40 p.m. by Mayor Jim Nicoli
1.2 Roll Call
Council Present: Mayor Jim Nicoli, Councilors Paul Hunt, Brian Moore, Bob Rohlf,
and Ken Scheckla.
Staff Present: City Manager Bill Monahan; Community Development Director Jim
Hendryx; Asst. to the City Manager Liz Newton; Senior Planner

1.4 Council Communications/Liaison Reports
Bill Monahan, City Manager, reviewed the staff decisions made during the Balloon
Festival regarding traffic control. Staff received 20-25 phone calls from people in the
Martha/Millens Street area about the traffic controls deployed Friday morning. They
-y closed off access from 92"d Avenue at 6 p.m. on Friday. He said that staff provided -
.~1 general notice through Cityscape and a CIT meeting but a suggestion for next year was
to provide individual specific notice to residents affected by the traffic plan for the t
Festival. Councilor Scheckla suggested providing a map to residents on how to get into i
the neighborhood through the back way. Mr. Monahan said that staff would send a letter
1# to the area residents thanking them for their support and informing them of the traffic
plan for next year.
1.5 Call to Council and Staff for Non-Agenda Items
Mr. Monahan asked Council to pull forward Item No. 3.2 on the June 27 Consent
i Agenda to this week in order to designate Liz Newton as Acting City Recorder while the
{ City Recorder was on vacation.
Motion by Councilor Moore, seconded by Councilor Rohlf, to adopt Resolution 97-
25. - The City Recorder read the number and title of the resolution.
RESOLUTION 97-25, A RESOLUTION APPOINTING LIZ NEWTON DEPUTY
RECORDER FROM JUNE 23, 1997 TO JULY 3, 1997.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 17, 1997 - PAGE 1 !

3 ~
Cynthia Johnson, West-Central CIT, reported that the residents near Woodward Park would
like to be informed on any changes in Woodward Park. Mr. Monahan reported that Metro
closed on 6.2 acres in that area last week. Metro was now working out a process of
transferring the nronerty to the Citv for ownership and contrcl• in the meantime Than
Roberts has arranged for neighbors in the area to keep an eye on the property for the City. He
mentioned that the CIP request for Woodward Park would come to the Council next week.
Mr. Monahan commented that the neighbors wanted to be involved in the master planning of
the park and trail to make sure that they were conducive to the neighborhood. He said that
staff would work through the CITs to get public input on planning for Woodward Park. Ms.
Johnson commented that the area had little auto traffic, and expressed concern that increased `
traffic flow to the improved park would affect their quiet and safe neighborhood.
Mavor Nicoli noted that this year the City was developing a parks master plan which would h
include consideration of Woodward Park. The CITs would be involved in that process.
3. MEETING WITH PLANNING COMMISSION (Continued from May 20, 1997)
Planning Commissioners present: James Griffith, Sheldon Scolar.
Jim Hendryx, Community Development Director, noted issues for discussion: working
with Beaverton on joint land issues for Scholls Ferry Road, the effects of the urban services
agreement on applications coming to the Planning Commission, and identifying the need for f
commercial lands on Bull Mountain.
> Commercial Land on Bull Mountain.
Mayor Nicoli stated that the City now had authority over land use planning in the urban
j services agreement area (except for zone changes which the County kept). This included
f master planning. He asked if Bull Mountain needed neighborhood commercial centers to
serve the residents and to alleviate traffic on 99W. Mr. Hendryx stated that the County might
apply for a grant from DLCD to do a reevaluation of the land use components on Bull
Mountain to address Metro's authority and the changing needs on the mountain.
James Griffith, Planning Commissioner, asked if any of the residents have indicated a
i desire for commercial type facilities up there. Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager,
said that the issue has not come up at the CIT meetings. Mayor Nicoli noted that most of the
Bull Mountain residents were not aware of the CIT process. Mr. Griffith commented that it
might •be r....,ump.,.., for ~,.....,ty w eec,assuy any pantcuiar site as commercial if there was ~ - no interest from the residents in having a commercial site.
Councilor Scheckla reported that he knew people on the mountain who were unhappy that the
City was even thinking about a commercial site up there. Councilor Moore spoke for bringing
the discussion to the community to get their feedback. Mr. Monahan said that the City could
ask the County to initiate a zone change, though he did not think that the County was
interested in doing so at this time.
Mayor Nicoli pointed out that once the school sites were completed on Bull Mountain,
residents would have to make special trips to shop, instead of incorporating shopping into trips j

9 F
to pick up and drop off kids from school. Mr. Griffith asked how much commercial
development was enough. Were they talking a 7-11 store or a neighborhood commercial
shopping center? Councilor Moore noted some recent commercial developments easily
accessed by Bull Mountain residents.
1 Mr. Monahan said that staff was expecting the County to ask the city to do the master
planning for Bull Mountain as part of the 2040 plan review and implementation process.
Mayor Nicoli noted the issue of street connectivity on Bull Mountain. The City has agreed
with Metro to connect more streets, and Bull Mountain was a prime candidate. He noted the
need to address secondary issues of street connectivity, such as impacts on existing
neighborhoods. Councilor Rohlf pointed out that if they did not have a traffic mitigation
policy in place for the first street connection, then they would have problems with
neighborhoods on later street connections.
Mr. Griffith said that it would be helpful to the development community to know that the
Council expected street connectivity and through traffic. Currently developers used culdesac
streets to eliminate traffic. Councilor Rohlf spoke for balance and a "big picture" plan to
insure appropriate through access. Mr. Griffith mentioned the question of how much street ;
connectivity was enough but agreed that there needed to be a certain amount of connectivity.
Councilor Moore spoke to taking a proactive approach in locating major thoroughfares on Bull
Mountain for connectivity.
Councilor Scheckla asked what citizen concerns the Planning Commission heard regarding
connectivity. Mr. Griffith said traffic, speed, and safety (with streets becoming playgrounds
as larger houses on smaller lots took out yard space). The Council discussed citizen
complaints about speeding and potential traffic management devices to handle the problem.
Mayor Nicoli commented that the police and engineering departments did a good job of
addressing the issue of speeding in the neighborhoods through their programs.
j > Scholls Ferry Road
1 Mr. Hendryx reported on the staff discussions with Beaverton about doin , an analysis on
Scholls Ferry Road. Beaverton was doing a Town Center plan under !-,mro guidelines for the i
1 Murray Hill area. Phase I involved funding by the property owners with Phase 2 (if approved)
funded by a growth management grant from DLCD. Staff was looking into joining the second
i phase to look at the broader issues that would affect both jurisdictions. The project was very
early in the process.
Nadine Smith, Senior Planner, commented that Phase 2 might begin as early as September
or October because property owners were anxious to get the zoning issues in Phase 1
completed as soon as possible.
Mayor Nicoli spoke in support of joint planning between the two jurisdictions in order to
avoid turning Scholls Ferry into a strip mall. He has talked with Mayor Drake of Beaverton
about setting up a Task Force of the Planning Commissions and City Councils. Mr. Griffith
said that joint planning was a good idea. He agreed with the importance of the Planning
Commission having a clear understanding of the direction favored by the City Council I

Councilor Rohlf suggested keeping in mind that new developments did have impacts on
existing businesses.
Mr. Griffith asked ahout the Walnut Island area and annexation. Mayor Nicoli suggested
sending the annexation policy discussed by Council to the Planning Commission for review
and comment. The Council agreed to invite the Planning Commission to the next discussion of
j the Walnut Island issue.
Mr. Griffith said that he thought things were moving along well. He said that while he was
curious to see where the Tigard Triangle ended up, the Commission was trying to stay out of j
that. He reported that the Commission deferred the discussion on monopoles because they
wanted to see another iteration of the draft they finished last night. Therefore the standards
would come to the Council later than currently scheduled. Staff noted that the process was
moving as fast as state law allowed. Mr. Griffith explained that the Commission was in the
process of updating the existing code standards on cell towers to deal with the changes in the
industry.
4. SW NORTH DAKOTA STREET - DISCUSS FINDINGS OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY
PERFORMED IN FEBRUARY
Gus Duenas, City Engineer, said that North Dakota was a minor collector with 3500-4500
trips per day. They were addressing the portion between 12151 and Springwood Drive which
has been studied since 1987. He mentioned the concerns about traffic volumes and speeding
which were demonstrated to be problems at that time. The City installed traffic islands in j
1989 as traffic calming measures. A comparison of the studies done before and after
installation of the traffic islands showed that the speeds have dropped. The February 1997
study yielded an average speed of 29.2 mph, less than 5 mph over the speed limit.
Mr. Duenas posed the question of whether or not 29 mph was satisfactory for SW North
Dakota. He said that the criteria for traffic calming devices was speeds at least 5 mph over the
' posted speed limit. He mentioned the over 50 streets in Tigard that have asked for traffic
calming devices. He said that staff had a hard time justifying additional devices on North
Dakota when other streets have not yet been addressed. Staff found that the traffic islands
have fulfilled their function to reduce speeds, and that additional measures should not be taken
until after other street problems have been addressed. ;
Councilor Rohlf addressed the issue of North Dakota Street both as a Councilor and as a
resident in the area. He said that he found the staff conclusion very strange, noting its
similarity to an earlier City Engineers conclusion that the best way to fix the speeding
problem was to increase the speed limit. He noted that the traffic volumes were double the
appropriate amount for a neighborhood. He suggested that the Engineering Department
should have asked the neighbors where the speeding consistently occurred. He mentioned the
neighborhood's self help method of parking cars close to the traffic circles to intentionally
force cars to slow down. This contributed greatly to the reduced speeding but detracted from
the image of the neighborhood as a high quality area.
Councilor Rohlf asked what time of day the study used to determine the speed and volumes.
He said that the problems occurred primarily during the peak traffic hours when residents were
trying to get in and out of the neighborhood. He stated that much of the traffic did not come

from the neighborhood but was cut through regional traffic from Beaverton and Sherwood
using North Dakota to avoid 99W.
Councilor Rohlf contended that this was not an engineering problem but a quality of life
problem. While me roan cuulu"',~--"_a,~„« " 110,010110 trips per day, the ...,neighh^...'........hood --ho,-,!d 1A not have

to absorb that volume of out of the area traffic and excessive speeds. He held that staff
misunderstood the assignment Council gave them regarding the Council goal to address the
North Dakota problem. He suggested reassigning the goal to a facilitator like Ms. Newton to
use a Task Force approach to develop a coordinated solution to the problem based on the
i bigger picture of the quality of life issues beyond traffic and engineering.
i
Councilor Rohlf argued that that the problem on North Dakota was created by the City when
changes were made to the Comprehensive Plan without proper notice or neighborhood input. !
North Dakota was supposed to end below Springwood and Springwood was to carry the traffic
to 121st. Instead Springwood ended at an apartment complex and North Dakota became the K
through street. Neighborhood rumor held that the apartment developer cut a deal with the City
through his political ties with the Council at the time.
Councilor Rohlf said that the first time the neighborhood tried to address this issue at City
Hall, they did everything that staff told them to do and tried to find a reasonable compromise
solution. However when they presented their plan to the Council, the then Mayor kicked them
out, saying that he was tired of hearing about North Dakota. Councilor Rohlf commented that
the City destroyed its credibility in the North Dakota area during this incident. The two
noticing problems that have occurred during his term on the Council have not helped the City i _
regain the people's trust. The City had to get notice to the residents affected by a decision or
they lost their credibility.
Councilor Rohlf said that the changeover in the neighborhood from homeowners to renters,
the high rate of turnover in residential homes, the depressed property values, and the lowered
quality of life were directly related to the high volume of traffic on North Dakota. He stated
that the traffic circles were intended as short tern devices to be removed if they did not work. i .
They did not work, they were eyesores and convenient sign posts, and they made it difficult
for school buses and emergency vehicles to access the neighborhood.
r Councilor Rohlf said that the traffic circles were a total failure with regards to quality of life
issues. He mentioned several low cost ideas to fix the problem, including working with the
{ County to change signal timing, restricting right turns on red lights, and installing a traffic
i diverter below Springwood. He said that the neighborhood understood that the road would not
be closed off. The City needed it open as a collector for the surrounding neighbors to get to
the arterials. What was unacceptable was the cut through regional traffic.
Councilor Rohlf cited 130`h and the signal at 79`h and Durham as precedents for the City
taking action in specific neighborhood situations. He said that the community had a value of
protecting the neighborhoods from the undue impact of regional traffic. He said that the
Council set the tone for how the City dealt with neighborhoods as future street connections
were made. Would they leave the neighborhoods to fend for themselves or would they
establish a record of good faith?
I
Councilor Rohlf said that the current Council and City staff have worked hard to establish a
public image as user friendly. They have encouraged public involvement. He spoke to
ij CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 17, 1997 - PAGE 5

establishing a policy for dealing with neighborhoods impacted by traffic as a result of Council
decisions. While the City needed connectivity, the neighbors should have a livable
neighborhood. He recommended that the Council direct staff to develop a template for
mitigating the effects of traffic on neighborhoods from establishing street connectivity.
i Mayor Nicoli opened the meeting up to public coriments.
(Note: Last names were not given as people came forward to comment.)
> Debbie, as a member of the original neighborhood group who researched the Comprehensive
Plan, confirmed Councilor Rohlf s description of the original intention of the Comprehensive
Plan for North Dakota Street and Springwood Road. She pointed out that North Dakota was
unique in Tigard. It directly faced a minor arterial in Beaverton. This warranted special
consideration for their street. She expressed the neighborhood's concern regarding the traffic
impact of adding a connector from Hall to 125`h. i...
> Frank described the difficulty and dangers of backing out of his driveway onto North Dakota
because of the speed of the traffic.
> Roger summarized the letter he submitted to Council on this issue. He noted the site line
barriers on North Dakota, including the curve and high vegetation. He expressed concern that
one day a speeder coming round the curve would hit either a car or a pedestrian. He said that `
it was hazardous and recommended remedial action.
> A woman explained that as a resident without a car, she found it difficult to cross North
Dakota to do her daily business.
E
> A man stated that he lived on the straight of way section of North Dakota. In the last six
months he has seen the traffic island run over by a drunk driver. In addition he has witnessed
speeds of 80 mph on the straight of way and reckless driving around the islands. He asked for
s something to be done about it.
> Roger reported various incidents of property damage by speeders, and confirmed his
neighbor's report of the drunk driver running over the island. He said that they had a speeding
problem and that one day someone would be killed by a cut through driver or by someone
using the islands as a game. The worst behavior occurred on weekends or late at night. He
commented that speed bumps worked well in the Portland and Tigard areas. He urged the
j Council to consider action. j
i > Scott reported watching people having to wait four to five minutes for a chance to dash across ,
North Dakota to get their mail. He said people used the speed bumps as toys. His paper box
was also hit on a regular basis.
> A man suggested doing a study during the summer when cars really sped, instead of during
February when cars slowed down due to the weather.
> Jean commented that it was difficult for a community of people to form a coalition to fight
City Hall while trying to live their daily lives and participate in other volunteer activities. She
said that they looked to their elected officials and paid City staff to meet their responsibilities.

> Jack Polans asked how much it would cost to use a police helicopter to take pictures of the
traffic flow on North Dakota. Mayor Nicoli said up to half a million dollars since the City
would have to rent a helicopter.
> A Woman admiiied ihai, priur to uaviiig _ have-_ a child, he had been one of the s,._---- who saw nCeders who caw the
she of the
parked cars and traffic islands as a game. Now she was very concerned for the safety of her
child, and asked that the City do something to change the situation.
Councilor Hunt commented that it would take a citizens committee working with City staff to
j solve this problem. Not many solutions were suggested this evening. Councilor Rohlf said
I that the community already has developed five to six solutions, of which the traffic islands had
been only one. Councilor Hunt said that the City needed more citizen help to solve this
problem, as staff was probably not aware of all the problems occurring. He asked for the
opportunity for this Council to correct what that previous Council had failed to do.
Mr. Monahan pointed out that times have changed and now speed bumps were an accepted
! traffic calming device where before traffic circles were the preferred solution.
The Council discussed Councilor Rohlf s suggestion to create a template for how the City
would deal with neighborhoods impacted by traffic from establishing through street
connections. They agreed to make this a priority issue. Mr. Monahan said that staff would
meet to develop an outline to address these concerns based on the input received tonight.
Councilor Moore pointed out that 98`h and Durham could have the same problem as North
Dakota and concurred with the need for a template policy to address the problem on a city
wide basis.
Mayor Nicoli assured the neighbors that this Council would find a way to deal with the
problem. If a Task Force was used, members should include the City Engineer, and
representatives from the police department, administration and the neighborhood. Councilor
Hunt suggested that Councilor Rohlf also be on a task force.
Councilor Moore asked to see the solutions originally proposed by the neighbors before they
set up a task force. Those ideas might still be viable and allow a quicker solution than a task I
force could reach. Mr. Monahan said that staff would bring that original plan to the Council I
i for discussion plus a staff evaluation of their viability in today's environment. They scheduled
the discussion for the July 8 meeting.

5. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: PLEDGE $9,900 MATCHING FUNDS TO
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT TO COMPLETE SENIOR
CENTER EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS (CONTINUED FROM THE JUNE 10, 1997
COUNCIL MEETING)
Staff Report: Mr. Duenas reviewed the history of this project to build an accessible garden
coupled with a paved parking lot. Since paving contractors were not interested in the garden
portion, staff broke the two out, and got an acceptable bid for the parking lot paving and I
concrete sidewalk ($19,400). After four tries, they got an acceptable bid for the raised gardens
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 17, 1997 - PAGE 7
i ~ -
T .7;
($19,805). He explained that the gardens were expensive because the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) required higher wages and more paperwork, and because
they had to purchase circular planters and benches to create the garden.
f Mr. Duenas said that the intent was to create an accessible garden for seniors and disabled
individuals to be able to plant from a wheelchair. He said that 70% of the project cost was
materials. Half the money would come from the City and half from the County through a
CDBG.
+ Councilor Rohlf asked if the project cost would increase significantly if held over to next
year's budget process. Duane Roberts, Associate Planner, said that Wayne Lowry, Finance
Director, found that they were following the appropriate budget process. This was approved
four years ago by Council for the third year of a budget cycle. It was on schedule but they
needed additional money to make up the shortfall. If they waited until next year, they lost the
grant money and the City would have to pay for the whole thing. e
Councilor Rohlf asked if volunteer labor was appropriate for this project. Mr. Duenas said
that they would not save much with volunteer labor with 70% of the cost in materials. Mr.
Monahan reported that Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, looked into the use of volunteers
or public works staff. While they could get volunteer help through the "in lieu of jail"
program, it would not be as efficient as contracting it out.
Karen Gardner, Senior Center Director, commented that using other people's money to
complete a CIP project was a good argument for moving ahead. She said that the garden was _
a wonderful opportunity and part of making the community a better place to live. She
mentioned the donations of plants that have come in from citizens for the gardens. Councilor
Hunt was instrumental in getting rectangular planters donated. She spoke for the opportunity
for the involvement of community groups, school children, and newcomers to the community.
This would also provide another space for small group informal activities.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Rohlf, to approve the needed
matching funds in the amount of $9,900 to complete the Senior Center exterior
improvements project.
Jack Polans spoke to responsibility and efficiency in the use of volunteer labor and donations
as an alternative to the staff proposal.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli,
Councilors Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
6. TIGARD TRIANGLE - DISCUSS WHETHER TO DIRECT STAFF TO PROCESS A
TEXT AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE A PROCESS FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
STREET CONNECTIVITY STANDARDS WITHIN THE TIGARD TRIANGLE
Mr. Hendryx presented the staff recommendation for a special adjustment process for the
general commercial (GC) zone to address the Council's desire to provide more flexibility on
the 660/330 standard and for private streets. He said that staff has reached a better
understanding of how to apply the standards through working with applicants. He said that
the Council could recommend that staff move forward with a text amendment to the Planning
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 17, 1997 - PAGE 8

1 Commission or the Council could take no action and staff would continue to implement the
adopted standards without modification.
The Council discussed what limits should be placed on the discussion tonight. Mr. Monahan

back to the Council, so they could not discuss the specifics of that application. Councilor
Rohlf noted that Eagle Hardware apparently had concerns with the design standards while the
staff recommendation dealt with the street standards. The Council agreed to limit the
discussion to the street standards.
Mr. Hendryx noted that if the Council chose to send this to the Planning Commission, the I .
Commission could on their own court broaden consideration of the issues beyond the street
standards. Mr. Monahan said that given the state noticing requirements, a text amendment
would not get to the Planning Commission until late July/early August. He confirmed
Councilor Hunt's point that implementing changes to the Triangle could open the whole thing
up again.
i
i Mayor Nicoli asked about the stronger variance language that the Council had discussed. Mr.
Hendryx explained that staff felt that this adjustment procedure was a superior method for
dealing with the Triangle than adding on new variance criteria. He reviewed the adjustment
process.

only with the street standards. It did not address the site design standards issues Eagle
discovered during the site planning process. He contended that if the Council wanted big box f
retail in the Triangle, the design standards as written would not work. They essentially !
precluded large use development in the ways that large retailers needed to develop in order to
meet their market. He said that they have identified five problem areas in the site design and
j building design standards.
> Ted Wozniak suggested that the Council reconvene the Task Force to finish the job to j
straighten out these final issues.
> Gordon Martin reported that the Task Force met with Metro staff members two and a half
weeks ago to discuss the performance option, Metro guidelines, and how Metro expected
i cities to implement the guidelines. He said that the definitions in the Metro guidelines have
not yet been worked out, although the Task Force ideas and Metro's ideas were very similar.
He said that Metro would send a letter summarizing that meeting. He recommended returning
the street issue to the Task Force to iron out the problems. Mr. Martin said that the adjustment
process recommended by staff started out fine but then items 3 and 4 gave staff the discretion
to turn the roads back into public driveways.
> Tony Cargill said that he thought that the planning staff would be more comfortable if they
had support from the Council. He raised two issues regarding variances and the conversion of
single family homes to office use. He pointed out that the typical office use generated less
sewage than the typical household use. He spoke for allowing single family homes converting 1
to office use to retain their septic tanks and drain fields and requiring a non-remonstrance

agreement to participate in putting in sewer at the appropriate time. He said that allowed
3 building materials and glass standards were different for single family homes than for offices.
He spoke for allowing homes converting to office to retain their wood siding and windows
because there was no positive purpose served in replacing those items.
i
Mr. Cargill spoke to keeping the spirit of the ordinance as this area changed from residential to
Mixed Use Employment, and to encouraging staff to review these situations on an individual
1 basis. He noted that property owners were having difficulty selling their land because they
could not afford to bring the sewer to a single house.
Mayor Nicoli noted that only Mr. Martin spoke to the recommendation before the Council i
tonight. Therefore there must be general agreement between many people that it was a good E
process. The Council discussed which direction to take. Councilor Moore reiterated the
concern that the review might open up the plan beyond these standards. Councilor Scheckla f
noted the five items mentioned by Mr. Weisman.
e
Mr. Hendryx commented that they needed to be respectful of the noticing provisions. Staff
was providing notice to the State of the text amendment language but if new issues came up at
the Planning Commission, and they recommended additional changes to the Council, they
would have to be careful to conform with the noticing requirements.
Councilor Scheckla commented that if this situation was talked out, they might reach a
reasonable modification with benefits for everyone. Councilor Rohlf said that he has reviewed
the Eagle application which was a good development. He expressed concern at going around
f.~ the process instead of letting staff negotiate with Eagle and work out the problems.
Councilor Hunt asked if issues raised at the Planning Commission had to be related to the text E
amendment. Mr. Hendryx said that he did not know how big a change could occur before
other noticing requirements were triggered. But if the discussion went from street standards to 1
design standards, they could trigger another notice requirement.
The Council discussed whether or not sending this back to the Planning Commission opened
up the entire plan. They agreed to direct staff to inform the Planning Commission to stay with
the text amendment only. If the Commission wanted to address design standards, that should
be a separate issue.
Councilor Rohlf commented that the community was willing to accept big box development if
the developers were willing to accommodate high quality standards. Mr. Weisman
commented that they were looking for an avenue to discuss these issues with the C;iiy. Since
staff focused on implementing the standards as written, they thought that their issues required
a Council decision. He contended that no one could put in big box development under the
current standards. Without a discussion of these design standards, Eagle would probably not
build in Tigard.
Councilor Rohlf asked if Eagle was putting more energy into resisting the standards than in
finding a creative solution. He said that he has heard a solution that would work for Eagle,
although Eagle hasn't found it yet. Mr. Weisman said that Eagle was willing to discuss the
components driven by the site, the owner, and the market that were flexible in order to find an
alternative. However some of their topographical, operational, and market needs were set.
The design standards did not currently allow for some of the realities of large retail uses.

Councilor Rohlf said that they were not necessarily saying that they wanted large retail users.
They were saying that they were willing to accept large retail users. He said that he needed to
see what items Eagle could not live with but do it through a process that did not circumvent
staff with an issue that was actually negotiable as part of the land use application process.
Mayor Nicoli asked about the freeway sign issue. Ms. Smith said that she accidentally
omitted it.
Mayor Nicoli spoke to more flexibility in the design standards or a variance procedure that
allowed more flexibility. He said that the existing variance procedure was not workable in the j
Triangle. It was too rigid. He stated that they should keep the design standards but add more
flexibility to allow a developer to propose an attractive development that met the intent of the
design standards, if not the letter.
Mr. Weisman noted to suggestions to add more flexibility. One was to change the word
"variance" in the standard to "adjustment procedure." The second was to develop alternative
clauses to address the option of proposing something that met or exceeded the standards in :
some alternative way, given the unique conditions of topography or type of user. He pointed
out that of the 30 design standards, they had identified only five as needing some work for
greater flexibility. He reiterated that the Council was the appropriate forum for discussion.
The Council discussed what direction to take. Councilor Rohlf reiterated his concerns about
second guessing the staff. Mr. Monahan said that the Council needed to give clear direction to
staff as to what they should come back with. He said that giving this much discretion to staff j
was fine as long as there were clear performance dimensions and guidelines for them to follow
in exercising that discretion. He said that he was not comfortable based on tonight's
discussion with staff moving ahead on negotiating deals or making decisions.
1 -
The Council discussed the issue of building flexibility into the plan. Mr. Monahan spoke to
! holding the Council, the Planning Commission, and the Hearings Officer to the same standard
1 as staff. This was necessary to have the clear and objective standards mandated by state law.
Mr. Hendryx pointed out that any time the Council deviated from the adopted standards they
would impact the original assumptions underlying those standards. ;
j Councilor Moore said that he was not willing to change the design standards for a single
application. He spoke for finding out if these issues identified by Eagle really were general
j and thus a problem or merely specific to this application. The Council agreed with staff s
suggestion to ask Lloyd Lindley to explore this issue of how general these problems perceived
by Eagle really were. He would touch base with Eagle Hardy=.~a , Mr. Marti", and some other
selected people, an d return to Council with a report in 60 days. rv
Mayor Nicoli reviewed the Council direction. Staff was to take all five items to the Planning
Commission but tell the Commission that Council did not want them to consider any changes
other than those requested. If the Commission felt differently, they could send other issues
separately to the Council. Staff would report back in a week or two on the program they
developed to address the issues raised by Eagle Hardware.

He said that staff recommended the formation of a task force to discuss the significant policy
issues on the implications of funding, impact on property owners and tenants, and the scope of
policy questions, and to return with a recommendation on a program for Tigard. The task
force would include representatives from various stakeholder groups including the Multi-
family Housing Council, Oregon Apartment Association, an advocacy group for affordable
housing, other government officials, and concerned citizens.
Mayor Nicoli suggested using the Uniform Housing Code to establish minimum standards at
the very least. The Task Force could discuss going beyond the minimums. Mr. Scott said that
the checklists from Portland and Salem were similar to the Uniform Housing Code. He
mentioned that the task force should address the question of how proactive should the City be
in enforcing the housing code. He noted finances as a consideration.
j
Mayor Nicoli reviewed the background for Council directing staff to study the situation. The
Council had become aware of two seriously deteriorated apartment complexes that were
attracting the wrong element. He said that he had not been suggesting a proactive approach
because of the budget problems but he was willing to look at the program.
Sheila Greenlaw-Firs':, Community Partners for Affordable Housing, reported that the -
repairs of the Ash Creek Apartments should be finished by June 30 with exterior work
finished up in July. The repairs on the first 19 units at Villa La Paz should also be finished by
June 30. She noted that the tenants were proactive in raising funds to make their complex a
better place to live.
Ms. Greenlaw-Fink spz)!ce for the community taking a proactive approach. She mentioned a
County Housing Plan i,lat discussed strategies for affordable housing on a county wide level,
1 including code enforcement. She mentioned the need for inspections when apartments did not
3 meet basic health codes. She said that while there were challenges in funding, there might be t
} some creative approaches also. She mentioned a landlord education program. {
i
i Mr. Scott concurred that the City had some problems, citing Tiffany Court as a possible
upcoming test case. He mentioned that in taking a proactive approach he would remain in
close contact with the City Attorney to avoid accusations of selective enforcement or other
issues. He said that they could do enforcement now under the dangerous buildings code with
respect to structural integrity or places unfit for human habitation. Unfortunately the language
in the code was ambiguous. He said that he spoke to Paul about using the Uniform Housing
Code as a recognized standard. Paul indicated that he felt comfortable defending that but
recommended a housing code if the City was going to undertake this type of program.
Councilor Scheckla asked what the City could do to get a new owner to clean up the property.
Mr. Scott reviewed the types of documents that could be recorded on titles but pointed out that
those documents usually came after repeate( -fforts to gain compliance and as part of a
housing program package.

ISSUE/AGENDA TIT~L,E~ Study Results - SW North Dakota Street
PREPARED BY: A.P. Du nas DEPT HEAD OK CA' ~CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Briefing to Council on the findings of the traffic study performed in February 1997 on SW North Dakota Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the most recent traffic study and on previous traffic studies, no other traffic calming devices are
necessary in that portion of SW North Dakota. Periodic traffic studies will continue in that and other areas of
Tigard to detect future problems that may occur as a result of increased traffic volumes or vehicle speeds.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
j Dckground: Traffic islands were installed in June 1989 on SW North Dakota Street between 121st i
Avenue and Springwood Drive. These islands were installed as traffic calming devices to reduce the speed of I
vehicles passing through the area. Traffic studies have been performed in that area before and after the islands i
were installed. Although numerous traffic studies have been performed, there was a concern from residents of M
the area that the islands were not effective in reducing speeds through that area. There was also a concern that I
speed studies in the past may have focused at the island locations and not between the islands where speeds are
more likely to be higher. One of the City Council goals was to Evaluale the use of traffic calming devices for
SIV North Dakota. Engineering staff was requested to perform another traffic study over the past winter to
1 obtain additional information on speeds and volumes on that portion of street and to report to Council the
j findings of that study.
I
Action taken: An additional traffic study was performed in February 1997. This study was compared with
previous studies before and after the traffic islands were installed.
Findings: A traffic study performed in June 1989 prior to construction of the islands indicated an 85th
percentile speed of approximately 35 mph with traffic volume of 3,726 ADT (Average Daily Traffic). A traffic
study performed in February 1993 while school was in session produced an 85th percentile speed of 28.8 mph
with traffic volume of 4,120 ADT. There was a concern that speeds would increase when school was out.
Therefore, another study was performed in August 1993, which produced an 85th percentile speed of 29.1 mph
with traffic volume of 4,169 ADT. The studies in 1993 were taken west of 123rd in an area between the islands.
The traffic study performed in February 1997 again in the area west of 123rd indicated an 85th percentile speed i,
i
E,
"I
1
i
of 29.2 mph with traffic volume of 3,534 ADT. While the traffic volume had decreased, the 85th percentile
'1_)eed remained almost constant, in comparison with previous studies. The posted speed limit is 25 mph.
Conclusions: The following are the engineering staffs conclusions resulting from an evaluation of the
most recent traffic study in comparison with previous studies performed on SW North Dakota Street:
• The traffic islands installed on SW North Dakota are effective at reducing traffic speeds. The initial
speed of 35 mph in 1989 was reduced to 29 mph after installation of the islands. This is a reduction
in speed of 6 mph, which is typically achieved by speed humps. Our experience with traffic calming
devices is that traffic volumes are not significantly impacted by these devices, but that vehicle speeds
are normally reduced by 4 to 7 mph.
• The reduced speeds through the area have remained constant over the past few years despite the drop
in traffic volume. Vehicles are slowing down as they pass through that street. In addition, the 85th
percentile speed is less than 5 mph above the posted speed limit. One criteria in evaluating the need
for traffic calming devices is that the 85th percentile speed has to be at least 5 mph or greater over
the posted speed limit. Attached for information is the extensive criteria we now follow for rating the
streets that need speed humps. This criteria has evolved over the past few years as the demand for
speed humps has drastically increased. With residents of over 50 streets in Tigard expressing strong
interest in the program, there is now terrific competition among the neighborhoods for inclusion in
the City-funded portion of the program.
I,
Based on the results of the traffic studies, there is no need to supplement the existing islands, or to
remove the traffic islands and install other devices. Other traffic calming devices, such as speed
humps, typically achieve the same, or possibly even less satisfactory results.
• Unless existing conditions drastically change in that area, there does not appear to be any further
need to regularly monitor the area. Periodic traffic studies will continue in that and other areas of
Tigard to detect future problems that may occur as a result of increased traffic volumes or vehicle
speeds.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
• Supplement the existing traffic islands with other traffic calming devices
• Remove the islands and replace with other traffic calming devices
FISCAL NOTES
Funding for the Speed Hump Program was budgeted at $45,000, with $30,000 in City-funded speed humps and
$15,000 on a 50% cost sharing basis. This program is again proposed for next fiscal year, and is expected to be
a continuing program for as long as there is a need for traffic calming measures in local residential streets.

to be considered for the Speed Hump Program. The following are the established criteria (based
on a point system) in the evaluation of those City of Tigard streets that meet the 25 mph
requirement to establish a priority list for installation of speed humps:
1. Speed: The difference between the 85th percentile speed and the posted speed
should be at least 5 mph or more up to 10 mph. Each mph over the 5 mph up to 10 counts
as one point.
2. Volume: The average two-way, weekday daily volume divided by 1,000 will be
ranked from 0 to 6.
3. Accidents: The number of accidents in the past years will be rated from 0 to 5.
4. Sidewalks: One point is added if there are no pedestrian facilities and none if there are
existing walkways.
5. Cut Through Traffic: This is determined by the type of intersecting street on
either end of the subject street ranging from 0 to 5 as follows:
Arterial to Arterial 5
Arterial and Major Collector 4
Major Collector to Major Collector 3 I
Major Collector to Minor Collector 2 I`
Minor Collector to Minor collector I
!
6. Other Factors: This includes efforts by the neighborhood to help itself by
participating in the Neighborhood speed Watch Radar Program, the SMART Trailer,
whether it has a Strictly Enforced area, or other similar methods in cooperation with the
Police Department to reduce speeds. This is used to further narrow the list of eligible
streets by providing information on the interest the neighborhood has demonstrated in
- _ - ; _ rettneing sneeltg other than just requesting speed humps,
Streets will be ranked in order of priority based on the total number of points
accumulated,the higher the total number the better.
I
Note: Speed humps will be installed only on streets or on segments of streets that have grades
less than 8%. In addition, humps will not be installed on sharp curves. Humps on steeper grades
or on sharp curves create safety hazards that outweigh any benefits derived from the humps.

Tigard, Oregon 97223
SUBJECT: Study Results - SW North Dakota Street
The Councilmen of the City of Tigard Oregon:
I read the report on the above subject prepared by
Agustin P. Duenas, PE, City Engineer. The report
states that the traffic islands have reduced the 85th
percentile speed from 35 mph in 1989 to 29.2 mph last
February. I find it interesting and disappointing that
the report considers speeds 20o in excess of the legal
speed limit acceptable.
I want to point out that a significant number of the
3500-4000 vehicles on North Dakota exceeds 29.2 mph.
I am especially concerned about west-bound traffic
i
exceeding the speed limit as motorists negotiate the
curve near our house. It is an accident waiting to
happen.
There are several houses exposed to this hazard. As we
1 pull out of our driveway, we cannot see traffic
I
entering the curve. Many times motorists have to slow
down or make a sudden stop because a neighborhood car
restricted their lane of traffic. Motorists traveling
at the speed limit can safely accomplish that, although
- it is probably irritating to them.
I am very concerned about the cowboys travelling 30,
40, or 50 mph; this is a matter of life and death. one
of these days they will hit one of the neighborhood
cars, or through evasive action, run over the curb and
cause property damage, or worse yet, hit a pedestrian.
Hundreds of pedestrians walk our sidewalks, especially
with the immensely popular Summerlake Park across the
street.

S would like you to consider traffic remediation that
would force or encourage westbound motorists to conform
to the speed limit when they enter the curve I am not
necessarily recommending expensive speedbumps, although f
I could easily install one for about $20 of asphalt.
I would be happy to work with the City Engineer in
improving our neighborhood safety. Thank you for your t
consideration.

C`UL.P"iGirU: f-oi2~( (C-1.y ~LrtI')
Points to bring up:
Engineering report problems:
Conclusions very strange:
- Suggcau uiat ii i9 a ~i6Yiidic iv aCa,a.Yt SYt uii~g i;~ w ?v:u ovci Ulu w5icu
limits in neighborhoods. Akin to Randy Wooley's suggestion that the best fix
to the speeding problem on N Dakota was to raise the speed limit to match
prevailing speeds.
• Suggests that volumes roughly double the planned amount is appropriate in
neighborhoods
• Neighborhood was not consulted prior to traffic study to have "problem areas"
pointed out to engineers.
• In concluding that speeds are reduced, gave no credit to the interplay between cars
parked by the circles and the circles themselves. Citizens have devised this s
method as a "self-help" to slow down traffic. However parking on the street
violates our covenants and detracts from the appearance of the neighborhood.
• Gives no indication of the time periods when thousands of cars go through the
neighborhood; I daresay it is during peak rush hours. In the morning this means
added and unnecessary risk for people having to cross the street to get '
newspapers and for kids crossing the street to get on the school bus
• Provides no information with respect to where cars coming or going.
This is a minor collector, meant to serve neighborhood access to arterials.
However many if not most people using the road are "cut-throughs" using our
neighborhood to avoid the traffic lights on Scholl's and Pacific Hiway.
e Does not take into account that many inappropriate trips are made by large trucks
and commercial vehicles for the same reasons others use it - to save time.
• Completely ignores the quality of life issues.
j ,
This is not an engineering problem. The road could handle maybe 10,000 cars per day.
The question is, should a neighborhood have to absorb this volume of out of area traffic E,
and excessive speeding? This is a community values problem and a quality of life issue. 1
Our goal of "doing something about the N Dakota problem" has somehow been modified l
to "evaluating the appropriateness of traffic calming devices." Accordingly staff has
provided us with a recommendation and attached the criteria for speed humps. I suggest .
that awii wiauiiuctawi)u the assignment or niissed the target. Given the -turnover axid
changes in Engineering over the last year, this is understandable. I suggest that we
reassign the issue to a city facilitator like Liz Newton, who would coordinate between the
neighborhood and City resource staff.
i
I
When my kids make a mess I tell them they have to clean it up. In this case the city
created a mess. This is not a situation where a neighborhood is asking for special
treatment. It is a situation where citizens are responding to actions taken by the city.
They expect the city to elea~ mess- What is the mess? A high volume of regional
r~ ty,S I
1
i traffic using neighborhood streets at excessive speeds as a cut-through to avoid lights at n
i Scholls and on Pacific Highway.
a
i City created this problem by acting in arbitrary manner.
• Original comp plan shows N Dakota ending below Springwood.
1 Springwood was to extend to 121st to carry traffic
• Rumors are that developer did not want road to run through his apartment
? complex and had the resources to get city to make the change. There are also
i
rumors that the developer had political ties with the Council of the time.
• Change was made without residents of N Dakota having notice and the ability to
provide testimony in the decision-making process
Y When the citizens tried to address the issues with the City, staff presented many
"hoops" for us to jump through. The neighborhood did all that was asked of it to i
document the problem and to develop a compromise solution. In the end, we were
vigorously rebuffed by the City Engineer and the Mayor of the time. In the final hearing, 1
in which the neighborhood attempted to lay out the compromise solution developed by a _
neutral consultant hired by the City, the Mayor told us he was "tired of hearing about our
problem." and that we were "taking up too much of the City's time." In light of this E
valuable civics lesson, the City destroyed its credibility and lost both trust and respect of !
the citizens along N Dakota.
• At least twice in the my experience on the Council we have had problems with
lack of notice on issues which would have a major impact on this neighborhood. The
Hollywood Video which was proposed for siting in the commercial zone at the end of N
Dakota would have added about 400 cars per peak hour. Yet none of the homes which p
would bear the brunt of the traffic were noticed either time the issue came before us. i
Notice for this evening's meeting was sent only to those previously involved and not to
the many new homeowners on Anton Drive. Wording of this notice was very watered
down, to the point that most citizens I talked to had no understanding that the city was
about to sweep this issue under the rug once again.
Impact has resulted in high turnover of residents along N Dakota
j • Many rentals now; houses not kept up as well, further diminshing quality
i • The situation depresses property values. In one case, owner told by RE agent that
he'd have to list property at 520,000 less than similar properties elsewhere
because it fronted N Dakota. The residents of N Dakota are having to bear undue
3 burden to facilitate city's transportation system. I
• Quality of life is low:
Kids cannot play in front yards
So noisy that you can't carry on a conversation in front yard
Dangerous to get mail and newspapers
Dangerous for kids to get to school bus
j People honk and make rude gestures as we try to turn into driveways; they
speed up to cut us off when we try to get out of the driveways. 1 .

The traffic circles don't help. They were meant to be experimental and of limited
duration. They were meant to be easily removed if experiment failed.
• They are eyesore with excessive signage
• Many are weed infested
to some cases they interfere with driveway access
• Warning Signs often bent or knocked over
• Provide "handy place" for advertisements
• Create difficulties for garbage, fire, and bus vehicles, particularly when self help
in use
• Advertise to all that this is an arterial rather than a neighborhood street
From a quality of life and problem resolution point of view, the circles have failed.
City could address problems for low cost: r
• Traffic lights on Scholis's t
change timing to better facilitate flow on Scholl's C
change timing to restrict access into N Dakota
restrict right turns from Scholl's to N Dakota on red light
• Traffic diverters at Springwood to restrict access in one direction on N Dakota
• Add stop signs along N Dakota -
• I'm sure that a motivated engineer could come up with other low cost solutions f
We recognize that there is no longer an option to close the road. We accept the f
fact that our neighborhood will serve as a collector for our surrounding neighbors to get
onto arterials. We do ask that the city help us eliminate the regional cut through traffic 1
and keep the speed appropriate to a neighborhood with kids and seniors.
There is precedence to city involvement in neighborhood traffic
• 130th required thousands of dollars to mitigate traffic impacts on neighborhoods.
At least that road was on comp plan map. In fact, in that case, the lone dissenting
member on the Planning Commission - Milt Fire - voted against putting in the
bridge and road because he "didn't want to be responsible for creating another
North Dakota"
• City just spent $50,000 to put in a traffic light on Duram Rd to ensure the safety
of kids there. In spite of ODOT engineering recommendations that a signal was
not justified at the location. At the time we decided to support this neighborhood
action, this section of road did not even belong to the city. We took the
exceptional step of obtaining the road from the state to give us jurisdiction, so that
we could put in the light.
The community has a value of protecting neighborhoods. Visioning Task Force
concluded that neighborhoods should be protected from undue impacts of regional traffic.
This Council must set the tone for how the City deals with neighborhoods as future road
1 connections are made. Do we let the citizens fend for themselves when we make needed
I
connections, or do we establish a record of good faith with our citizens? I think this will
be the fodder of many new lawsuits if the City fails to take responsibility for its actions.
We, the Council, and the current City staff have struggled to build a reputation for heina
j
"user friendly" and to encourage citizen involvement. What message do we send when S
we deal with citizens in other areas as we have on N Dakota?
- 1
We, the Council need to establish a policy for dealing with neighborhoods impacted by 1
traffic as a result of our decisions. We will have to make several decisions with respect to
connectivity in the near future. People now living on quiet residential streets will face the
same problems as those on N Dakota Do we, the Council take the position that we will
try to mitigate impacts and keep the traffic appropriate for a neighborhood, or do we turn
a cold shoulder and say, "Tough luck. If you don't like it, move." _ k
I recommend that we redirect staff to give this Council goal the serious attention it
deserves. Further, I suggest that, in addressing the N Dakota issues the staff create a 1
template for mitigating impacts that we know will occur in other neighborhoods in the
future.

ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Community Housing Program Report
PREPARED BY: David Scott uP6 DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council establish a task force to study and recommend a policy and program for community housing
improvement?
I
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Establish a Community Housing Task Force to study and recommend a policy and program for community
housing improvement.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Last year the Council directed staff to review and report on the issue of housing in Tigard. Concern for the _
condition of some housing in Tigard was heightened by the involvement of the Community Partners for
Affordable Housing, who are currently improving rental property in Tigard and are receiving some assistance
from the City. After reviewing the issue staff has compiled a list of important policy questions which need to be i
decided before any housing code and program can be implemented. These policy questions are:
• How comprehensive should a housing program be in Tigard? Should all rental units (single and multi-family)
be included, only multi-family, or only specific units based upon some threshold of age and size? Should
hotels, motels and other similar uses be included?
• How often should targeted units be inspected?
• Should inspections cover a fully comprehensive list of habitability issues, or should only certain limited issues
be covered?
• Should the program be fully proactive, only reactive or some combination thereof?
• How should a housing program be funded? Should landlords be assessed a license fee, should general fund
appropriations be used, block grants (if they are viable for Tigard's situation), or some combination thereof?

SUBJECT: Community Housing Program Policy Options and Recommendation
DATE: June 17, 1997
PROBLEM - As Tigard's housing stock ages, the occurrence of housing blight and f
deterioration is increasing. While this is most evident in older multi-family rental
properties, similar problems occur in single-family properties. Tigard currently has no
housing program designed to address this problem. Tigard's "Dangerous Buildings"
code, which focuses primarily on structural or damage issues, does contain a provision
dealing with housing standards (see Exhibit 1). However, the language of this '
provision is ambiguous because it does not contain standards from which to determine f
inadequacy for human habitation, etc. Further, the "Dangerous Buildings" code is not
intended for this purpose and is therefore not administratively crafted to provide for a
housing program. Staff recalls only one instance where this provision was invoked to
seek improvements to a dwelling unit (sewer pipe was disconnected).
OBJECTIVE OF A COMMUNITY HOUSING PROGRAM - Currently in Tigard, there are
roughly 6,000 rental units in multi- and single-family dwellings The general objective of
a Community Housing Program is to reverse the debilitating effects which housing
blight and deterioration cause to a community. At the enter of such a program is the
housing code, which establishes minimum standards essential to make dwellings safe,
sanitary and fit for human habitation by governing the condition and maintenance, the
supplied utilities and facilities and the occupancy. Items inspected under a fully
comprehensive program cover all facets of habitability. (See Exhibit 2 - City of Salem
checklist). This objective is distinct from that of the building code, which is intended to
require buildings to be constructed in such a way to sustain safely, the loads expected
and to be reasonably safe for occupancy against fire and similar hazards.
13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TDD (503) 684-2772
L~
TYPES OF COMMUNITY HOUSING PROGRAMS - Once a good housing code is
adopted, there are several ways to implement the program:
Complaint and Referral Inspection - Housing inspections are performed only
after a complaint or referral is received. This approach satisfies the person
making the complaint or referral and helps improve some of the community's
sub-standard housing. However, this unsystematic approach does little to bring
about general improvements and is an inefficient way of using inspections staff.
Also, staffing levels are difficult to predict.
Proactive Inspection - Housing inspections of dwelling units are routinely
performed at a specific interval. Any sub-standard items discovered are
required to be corrected. Inspections are also performed when a complaint or
referral is received. A proactive inspection program can be very comprehensive,
including all multi- and single-family units or can be limited to rental units only,
multi-family rental units only or certain target neighborhoods or properties.
FUNDING OPTIONS - Comprehensive, proactive programs require a steady funding
source. Options include license fees for landlords, general fund and fines for failure to
timely comply with deficiencies noted upon inspection. Programs which target specific
neighborhoods or projects may qualify for HUD grants. Sometimes various permits =
may be required for corrective work. Fees for these permits would cover the costs
associated with issuing and inspection and would not subsidize the proactive
inspections. Complaint and referral programs are difficult to fund directly because
workload and activity are difficult to project. General fund designation is the most
practical funding source. Fines for untimely compliance can provide some additional
revenue.
Ths Building Fund cannot be used to subsidize a housing program without a major
policy shift on the appropriate use of fees paid by developers, builders, contractors and
homeowners. Currently, fees are used solely to support plan review, permitting,
inspection and related services, which the fees are intended to support. Shifting some
of this revenue to other uses would impact our service to this constituency. Any move
in this direction should be made in close consultation with this fee paying constituency.
Staff anticipates significant resistance to 'this concept. FUither, State rule requires that
fee increases only be permitted if they are dedicated to the directly related services
mentioned above. Electrical fees are already statutorily dedicated to electrical
inspection services to the fee payers.
STAFFING - Housing inspection programs are staffed by Housing Inspectors and
support staff. Housing Inspectors are different from Building Inspectors, but Building
Inspectors are likely to be qualified to perform housing inspections. The housing
inspection and support staff required to do housing inspections is in addition to the
.,J existing building inspection staff. Staff levels required in Tigard would depend upon
2
i
how comprehensive a potential housing program is. A very rough estimate for a fully
comprehensive housing inspection program that visits every rental unit in Tigard once
every three years (approximately 4,000-5,000 inspections/year) is two or three housing
inspectors and a support person. The rough cost of this is up to $245,000 for the first
year and up to yLUS,VUUiyeBf iii8i ei3ier. atc3n levels and avo•s w for a !ess
comprehensive program would depend upon the specifics of the program. Also, some
amount of legal expenses will be included.
MODELS FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS - Currently, no municipality in Washington
County has an adopted housing code or a housing inspection program. Staff is only
aware of two such programs active in Oregon (Portland and Salem):
Portland - Portland compiled existing housing provisions into one title of its
municipal code in 1970. These housing provisions were replaced in 1993 with
new provisions based upon the work and report of the Citizens Advisory
Committee on Quality Rental Housing. Portland's program consists of a
combination of proactive and reactive inspections. Proactive inspections are
performed in three target neighborhoods and for all multi-family rental housing
(three stories or higher and older than 20 years) considered at risk. All other
inspections are complaint and referral based. Funding for the target
neighborhoods is 100% from HUD grants. Funding for the other proactive multi- `
family inspections is 50% HUD grants and 50% general fund and fines. Funding
for the reactive inspections is general fund and fines. Portland performs
" approximately 16,500 inspections/year and has a staff of 18 inspectors, 2
inspection supervisors and 7 support staff (including 1 supervisor).
r
j
Salem - Salem began its program in 1972. Salem's program is fully
comprehensive and proactive. All multi- and single-family rental units are
inspected every 3-5 years. Hotels, motels, homeless shelters and room and
board facilities are also included. Inspections are also performed pursuant to
complaints and referrals. Owner occupied single-family units are covered by the
I code, but are inspected only on a complaint/referral basis. Funding for the
program is by an annual license fee of $7.50 plus $7 per unit. Salem performs
approximately 4,500 inspections/year and has a staff of 2 inspectors. Salem
staff indicates that they are behind in their proactive inspections at this staff
level.
IMPLICATIONS OF COMMUNITY HOUSING PROGRAM - The question of whether to j
start a Community Housing Program in Tigard represents a significant policy decision.
Options of program comprehensiveness and funding are varied. A program will impact
multi- and single-family rental property owners, as well as, potentially all owners of
single-family and condominium units. The social and economic benefits of reversing
housing blight and deterioration and attempting to ensure that housing in Tigard meets
minimum standards of habitability must be weighed against the specific cost to rental
property owners and the general cost to Tigard's taxpayers. Several stakeholders will
3
i
a
Y
3 be interested in any decision regarding a Community Housing Program. These
stakeholders include the Board of Realtors, the Multi-Family Housing Council, the
Oregon Apartment Association, advocacy groups for affordable and habitable housing,
i such as the Community Partners for Affordable Housing, fire and police officials and
j concerned citizens.
j Robert O'Bannon, in his book, "Building Department Administration," lists six factors
necessary for a successful community housing program:
I
1. Adoption by municipal officials of a housing ordinance with realistic code
provisions which will help maintain the quality of "good" housing and
substantially improve the quality of "poor" housing conditions.
2. The code administration (compliance) program must be well planned and
conducted in a systematic fashion.
3. The program must have sufficient financial support for an adequate number
of personnel and other administrative needs.
4. Legal counsel and direct legal aid must be readily available to the program
staff when needed.
i
5. Housing inspectors must be adequately trained and supervised so that they
can conduct their work competently.
6. The general acceptance, support and participation of the public in the
housing improvement efforts of the program must be secured.
O'Bannon elaborates that the last item will largely determine the success or failure of
j
i the program.
RECOMMENDATION - In light of the many options available for a Community Housing
Program (including not establishing one) and the varied stakeholder interest, if the
i Council has continued interest in potentially creating a Community Housing Program,
staff recommends that a task force be appointed to address the issue and forward a
detailed recommendation to Council. This task force should include representatives
from all stakeholder groups, the Council and staff. The task force will need to address
the following policy questions/issues:
i _
• How comprehensive should a housing program be in Tigard? Should all rental units
(single and multi-family) be included, only multi-family, or only specific units based
upon some threshold of age and size? Should hotels, motels and other similar uses
be included?
J How often should targeted units be inspected?
i 4
• Should inspections cover a fully comprehensive list of issues (See Exhibit 2), or
should only certain limited issues be covered?
Choi fld the program he f illy nroantivA, only reactive or some combination thereof?
• How should a housing program be funded? Should landlords be assessed a
license fee, should general fund appropriations be used, block grants (if they are
viable for Tigard's situation), or some combination thereof?
The City of Portland undertook an extensive study of their situation beginning in 1991.
Their Citizens Advisory Committee on Quality Rental Housing produced a final report in
November 1992. The report contains information that will be very useful to Tigard's task
force and could be used as a resource/model for any study Tigard undertakes. t.'

acquired for urban services. Information will be prepared for _
review by King City, Durham and the Water District.
Long-Term Financing Options: Measure 47 created uncertainty
concerning the capacity of cities to bond. It also created
uncertainty for Library funding through both general fund
resources and the WCCLS levy. Library facilities are at l
capacity.
Workplan: Staff will review and reevaluate our financing
options for City operations including the Library. We will review
the five-year plan strategy. This is something we should be
doing over the several years so that by the time we get to the
end of our current plan, we have a strategy in place to address
the next period. €

last year's Council goal list. IOS is in the midst of constructing
and fund raising for the RITE Center to be located at
Greenburg/Tiedeman in Tigard.
At the Council meeting of August 27, 1996, City Administrator Monahan
reviewed the status report recommendations of the 1994 Task Force:
t
1. Severe Weather Policy: Interfaith Outreach Services (IOS) operated K
a shelter the last two years. It is possible the IOS will not continue
this service because of funding priorities the IOS Board needs to
determined. The City Administrator has met with the IOS Director;
they are reviewing the various options and sites.
2. Educate public about the problems of the homeless: City has
1 worked with IOS, disseminated information at CIT meetings and
placed articles in the Cityscape. These efforts will continue.
s G..
3. Establish and Eastern Washington County Task Force: This effort
9 was superseded by the formation of a Steering Committee to build f
the RITE Center, a 30-bed facility to be located in Tigard.
4. Institute Other Programs: Staff suggests that the Community
Development Needs Assessment under CDBG include
homelessness as a "need" that should be addressed. '
~l Finalize long-range plans for Cook Park.
Update (June 1997): As of the writing of this update, the Master
