!1 2. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT TEAM UPDATE
Terry Smith, East CIT representative, presented several issues of concern to the CIT (see
attached statement). He informed the Council that the CIT sent a letter to ODOT requesting
correction of traffic hazards at the Hwy 217/SW 72°d interchange and at Gaarde Street and
Pacific Highway. In both cases, they requested extensions of the existing meridians to reduce
dangerous and illegal U-turns.
Mr. Smith reviewed how the neighbors felt the process failed them regarding the Downing
property application. The neighborhood had made a reasonable request for an interpretation of
i the Code so that those interpretations could be applied to the decision. They did not think that it
was fair to declare those terms as not crucial and then close the hearing without an explanation
j of why they were not crucial. As a result, many in the neighborhood felt that the review was not f
a true and complete review.
K
Mr. Smith stated that the written decision did not address the Code and Comprehensive Plan I
issues raised by the neighbors, as was required by law. Consequently the neighborhood felt like
their issues were swept under the rug. He expressed the neighbors' frustrations that the City had
not dealt with this issue of significant trees or responded to the neighbors' requests to simply
look and see if significant trees even existed. He reported that the CIT agreed with the
neighbors and voted to request that the City provide clarifications of the terms "large and unique
trees" and "area or tract" in the interest of citizen involvement and land use planning. He
mentioned that he talked the neighborhood out of appealing to LUBA.
Councilor Rohlf complimented the neighbors on their professional conduct. He mentioned that
he has requested a Code review to increase protections for the livability of the neighborhoods.
Mayor Nicoli pointed out that the arborist's report that most of the trees were diseased destroyed
the argument that those trees should be declared significant. He held that it did not make any F
sense to grant that designation when the trees were dying. He mentioned that thinning out a
grove of fir trees weakened the underlying root structures of the remaining trees, making them
vulnerable to blowing down. He commented that there were also varying opinions as to what
constituted a "significant" tree. He said that the neighbors did not do anything wrong, but the
evidence was not there for the Council to decide in their favor.
M~ c...;th rA;tAr~tPrt the nPPrt in tlPfing ihPCP tPrmc in the rnntPxt of mninr nnrl minnr nnrt;t;nnc - -
He stated that construction work could be done working around the trees, citing his 21 years of
experience in construction.
Councilor Rohlf asked if the Code rewrite dealt with these terms. Mr. Monahan said no.
Making these definitions would be a new task.
Councilor Scheckla asked that applicants provide documentation in advance to prove their
assertions that trees were diseased. This would help the Council make a better decision.

3. DISCUSSION: SPACE PLANNING TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Monahan noted the members of the Space Committee: Larry Beck and Lorin Hocklin of the
f Library Board, Pat Repp and Doug Hookland representing citizens interested in police, Chief I
Ron Goodpaster, Public Works Director Ed Wegner, Assistant to the City Manager Liz Newton,
Finance Director Wayne Lowry, Councilor Paul Hunt, himself, and Architect Russ Hanson, ex
officio member.
Mr. Monahan reviewed the process and discussions of the Committee in reaching their
recommendation. They identified their options as expanding on the existing site, building new
facilities off site, or redistributing departments among the existing City buildings. Ms. Newton
reviewed the Master Plan Site Study Option I drawing that illustrated the expansion of existing
facilities on site.
r
Mr. Monahan reported the Committee's conclusion that they should ask for citizen comment on
these options. The 1984 voter approval to build the existing civic center included the
understanding that the buildings could be expanded on site. He reviewed the limitations to
expanding on site. He described various scenarios for redistributing departments in the civic
center if they built new freestanding buildings for the library and police department. He
mentioned that renovating the existing buildings did not meet their long term space needs.
However building new facilities for library and police presented the opportunity to customize
the buildings, and gave additional expansion opportunities at the existing civic center site.
1
r Mr. Monahan said that Mr. Hanson priced out the options for the Committee. The Committee
discussed the various financial options Mr. Lowry told them of, including the WCCLS levy.
The Committee recommended addressing the police and library needs now with new
construction and a bond on the November 1998 ballot. The Committee also recommended
proceeding with the Phase I police expansion, as it would be usable space in any event. They
recommended not participating in the WCCLS levy but focusing instead on creating the package
and documentation to present these recommendations to the voters. i
i l
Mr. Monahan presented the Committee's request for authorization of the police expansion, for
Mr. Hanson to develop more detailed plans for voter information, and for a property acquisition
(to be discussed in Executive Session). Ms. Newton mentioned that the Committee discussed
-
r planning for space needs beyond 20 years, and concluded that Option 1 presented them with the _
vest yvastuuiucs tui e:iliatistutt to tue luiurc. rvu. Monahan explained that siphon 1 would also
allow them to move the Public Works department to the Water Building, and release the Public
Works property for sale as a means of recouping some of the construction costs.
Councilor Scheckla asked what the projection was when City Hall was built. Ms. Newton said
that the projection had been for 10 years. The City moved in on April 25, 1986.
j > Mayor Nicoli recessed the meeting to Executive Session at 7:17 p.m. pursuant to ORS
192.660(1) (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) to discuss labor relations, real property transactions, exempt i
i public records, current & pending litigation issues.

Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Rohlf, to go ahead with Phase I of the
's
expansion with the anticipation that the City will follow it with Phase II.
Motion passed with a unanimous voice vote of the Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Rohlf, and Scheckla voted "yes.")
The Council discussed authorizing Mr. Hanson to develop more concrete plans and cost
estimates for voter information. Mr. Monahan spoke to beginning the process sooner rather than
later. Councilor Hunt pointed out that the $25,000 to $30,000 estimate provided by Mr. Hanson
as the cost of drawing up the plans would be included in the total estimate for the project of
$200,000, if Mr. Hanson were the architect chosen for the long term plan. Mayor Nicoli
commented that Mr. Hanson would be developing more of a master plan with costs. Mr.
Monahan said that Mr. Hanson would include designs of what the structure might look like in
relation to the other buildings. He said that staff would bring back dollar figures to the Council.
Mr. Monahan asked for direction on what to tell the WCCLS Board regarding Tigard's
participation in the WCCLS levy. He said that Beaverton wanted to proceed immediately with
the levy, partly to tax the many non-Beaverton residents whom they served.
Councilor Moore asked if Tigard residents would be taxed as part of the County levy, even if
Tigard chose not to participate in it. Mr. Monahan said that point needed clarification.
The Council discussed the issue and the Committee recommendation not to participate. Mr.
Monahan said that he would tell the Board that Tigard was not interested in participating at this
time, as they had plans of their own. He mentioned that Tigard was not the only Washington
County jurisdiction interested in pulling out of the County levy.
> Mayor Nicoli recessed the meeting at 8:20 p.m. for a break.
> Mayor Nicoli reconvened the meeting at 8:30 p.m. 1
4. DISCUSSION: CITY-SPONSORED EVENTS
Mr. Monahan directed the Council's attention to the staff report summary questions on the issue j
of City sponsorship of special events. If the City chose to sponsor an event, should the event
serve one or more of the following purposes: to provide an event for Tigard citizens to eniov, to
showcase the City to residents and others, or to provide an opportunity for non-profit
organization fundraising. He mentioned that Bruce Ellis from the Balloon Festival was in
attendance for the discussion. He asked that the Council discussion give direction to staff on
what kind of information staff needed from other special events, and how staff should plan and
work with those events.
Councilor Hunt asked what the City costs were for the Fourth of July and Country Daze events.
Staff said that the costs for the Fourth of July were minimal. Councilor Scheckla commented
that these events and the Balloon Festival were significantly different in size and draw, and not
i really comparable. Mr. Monahan pointed out that there were certain costs to the City for a `
variety of events, such as the Tigard High School Homecoming parade. He asked if staff should j
limit what they participated in. E

Councilor Hunt suggested setting a maximum dollar amount in the budget under which the City
Manager could authorize expenditure but over which staff had to come to Council for
authorization. Mr. Monahan restated Councilor Hunt's suggestion as, in addition to the direct
cash contribution authorized by Council, staff set aside a dollar amount for services and in-kind
contributions by the City to special events. He said that would work for staff because they
preferred having definite parameters within which to work. In addition, an event organizer
would know what he was getting from the City and what he had to make other arrangements for.
The Council discussed Councilor Hunt's suggestion. Mr. Monahan suggested that staff become 1
more involved in the upfront planning of events in order to get an estimate from the event
organizers on what they would need for use in the budget process. Councilor Moore spoke for
discussing the small events separately from the big ticket events like the Balloon Festival.
Councilor Rohlf commented that they were discussing a budget line item for all special events.
!
f i
Councilor Scheckla commented that the Council discussion grew out of their surprise at the i
atnount of overtime the Festival generated for police and Public Works. The Council had
questions about the City being billed for extra charges that perhaps could have been spread out
more among the other organizations. Councilor Hunt said that it wasn't the dollar amount that
bothered him so much as it was that the cost turned out to be so much more was anticipated.
Councilor Rohlf pointed out that they have received only compliments on the Festival, and no
objections on how much it cost the City to host it.
Councilor Moore spoke to deciding first if the City wanted to support special events, and if so,
what level of support did it want to give. Councilor Rohlf suggested a discussion in terms of the
three purposes mentioned by Mr. Monahan in the staff report.
Councilor Scheckla asked for information on how close the Balloon Festival was to maxing out
the capacity of Cook Park. j
Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, spoke to the importance of advance planning and
notification to the City of the needs of a special event. He expressed his appreciation that Bruce
Ellis has involved City staff in the planning of the Festival so they were not surprised by the
increased needs this year.
Bruce Ellis, Balloon Festival organizer, said that he believed that it was the Council's
recnnncihi{ity to nmvirie »S aCti;;tics v.'th v citizc.~s d5 NusSi UiC. He held that the
existence and livability of a city was measured by what it offered to its citizens, not just
services. Mr. Ellis reviewed how the Festival met Mr. Monahan's three statements. The
Festival was an event enjoyed by the citizens of Tigard. It showcased the city, drawing positive
national attention. It provided non-profits with fundraising opportunities they otherwise would
not have.
Mr. Ellis stated that the Festival budget was designed to break even. He reviewed the amounts
raised by the various non-profits this year. He mentioned that the Festival could operate those
{ concessions and allocate the money for extra services. He said that the total Festival budget was
between $180,000 to $200,000 with only $100,000 of that in cash and the rest in in-kind '
services. He said that they would be happy to share their $1200 profit with the City. He f
1 reiterated that the budget was set up to help the non-profits raise money and to cover as many of
the hard costs as they could. t

s
Mr. Ellis mentioned the possibility next year of charging a nominal fee for the Night Glow
functions on Friday and Saturday nights to help offset expenses. He offered the City one-third
of the revenues taken in. He said that he did not think that the Festival would grow much
bigger. He expressed their surprise at the numbers that turn out this year - their emergency plans
did not work as planned but with the help of the police department, they got things back under
control and quickly devised a plan that did work. He said that they were considering formal
programs for Sunday to increase the attendance on that day and to get the maximum use out of
the facilities they set up.
Mr. Ellis mentioned informal discussions between he and Chief Goodpaster on using a shuttle
service to eliminate traffic jams next year. He said that even with the Festival tripling in size,
they have cut down on the number of complaints, a testament to Festival organizers and City
staff. lI
} i. u
Mr. Ellis spoke for dealing with special events on an individual basis. He asked that the Council
allow people to present the merits of their event. He said that the $25,600 in extra costs plus the
$5000 cash contribution amounted to a cost to the City of less than $1 per taxpayer. This was
money well invested in an event that generated much goodwill for the City.
Councilor Scheckla spoke for giving families relief from the nominal fee charged for the Night
Glow. Mr. Ellis said that they were considering charging $1 per adult, and no charge for the
kids. He commented that he has advocated keeping the event free, and not turning it into a
"cash cow." He mentioned the possibility of charging either a can of food (for donation to the
Food Bank) or $1 per adult. He pointed out that while they knew they generated revenue for the -
' area merchants, they had no way of knowing how much.
ti
Councilor Hunt asked what the structure was for the Balloon Festival organization, expressing j
his appreciation for the wonderful relationship the City has had with Mr. Ellis. Mr. Ellis I
reported that the Festival has been approached by other communities to move the event to their
area but the Festival enjoyed the working relationship that it had with Tigard, considering the
support it received from City staff as without comparison. He said that he worked as the
director of the Rose Festival. He stated that he organized the Balloon Festival because he
enjoyed hot air ballooning and because he thought that Cook Park was underutilized. The
Festival saw no reason to leave Tigard.
Councilor Scheckla pointed out that as the outlying areas developed around Tigard, the Festival
would find fewer and fewer places to land the balloons. Mr. Ellis concurred. He said that he
would not allow more than 50 balloons to fly (they averaged 42). He mentioned safety concerns
in the area, such as not flying on days when the wind blew towards the east because of the event
pilots' unfamiliarity with the hazards of the West Hills. He said that they might have to display
more tethered balloons than flying ones as they ran out of space to land.
Councilor Scheckla asked who decided which pilots flew. Mr. Ellis said that he made that
decision. He reviewed the Festival's selection process which was primarily on a first come first
served basis of those who responded to the invitations.

Councilor Rohlf asked if Mr. Ellis had any projections on the revenue generated by charging for
the night events. Mr. Ellis said that he thought a realistic figure was between $25,000 to
$30,000. He commented that attendance on Friday was probably in the upper 20,000s and on
Saturday in the upper 30,000s, not 40,000 to 50,000 as rumor had suggested. i
j Councilor Rohlf asked about the possibility of using volunteers to take over some tasks
currently perfor,t d by City staff. Mr. Ellis pointed out the importance of not using volunteers
to take away the jobs which the paid city staff should be doing as part of their job. He said that
he felt traffic control should be left up to the police. He mentioned that using shuttle services
would eliminate the paid parking concession of the Breakfast Rotary, and that they were looking
at a major coffee contract which would compete with the Boy Scouts formerly exclusive
concession for coffee and doughnuts, if the Boy Scouts chose to continue their participation.
Mr. Wegner commented that getting youth organizations to help pick up trash during the day
was difficult because of peer ridicule. He would rather have staff do the late night clean up than
supervise volunteers. He mentioned that getting volunteer help to set up the community band
stage was a possibility but they needed help during the day and school was still in session at the
time of the Festival.
Mr. Wegner reported his staffs comments on the Balloon Festival. His staff considered the
Balloon Festival as an opportunity to show off the park and to get involved in interacting with
the community in a positive way, instead of responding only to problems. In addition, it gave
them a chance to work with community leaders and with other City departments. He described
the camaraderie that quickly developed as the police and Public Works staff worked together on
the Festival. He said that he did not know how to put a dollar amount on that but it was of great
value to the City and helped offset the expense to the City.
Councilor Moore asked Ms. Wheatley to review the Action Committee's work on special
events. Ms. Wheatley reported that the Committee suggested creating a study group to propose
criteria for evaluating events based on the Council's special event philosophy, and to distinguish
events which drew locally versus regionally. She mentioned that the amount of community
volunteer support for an event was also an important factor.
Councilor Moore commented that there were many intangibles that they could not put a value
on, such as the personal pride of the City and its citizens when others complimented the City on
a job well done. He recommended that the City support as many of these kinds of activities as
possible. He said that he considered the costs of supporting these events as "a drop in the
bucket." Councilor Rohlf concurred but spoke to maintaining fiscal responsibility by keeping
an eye out that expenses did not become outrageous. Councilor Hunt said that all of the
Councilors agreed that the City got its money's worth out of the Festival. The issue was more
j gaining an understanding of what were the costs involved. Councilor Rohlf spoke for separating
the Festival out from the other special events in the budget, and discussing it separately.
Mr. Monahan suggested that staff work with the Festival to develop cost estimates during the
planning stage and present that information to the Council. If they thought later on that the costs
might go over that authorized amount, staff would return to get authorization for another j
( appropriation.

The Council agreed by consensus that the summary questions in the staff report were good
guidelines for a philosophy on special events. i

5. DISCUSSION: COUNCIL GOAL SETTING {
I
> Councilor Scheckla left the meeting at 9:25 p.m.
Mr. Monahan presented the staff work done on the Council goals to present them in a
displayable format for ease of use and tracking. Ms. Newton noted that staff placed the tasks
they identified for the goals in a timeframe. She said that they would report back to Council
ever, three months on the status of the tasks. Mr. Monahan said that staff would fuse into one
the different formats used by the departments in developing work programs to implement the
goals. The current document was a preliminary stage document.
> Councilor Scheckla returned at 9:30 p.m.
Councilor Rohlf presented some "wordsmithing" changes for the goals. He suggested defining
what "affordable housing" meant in Tigard, pointing out that "affordable housing" lay on a
continuum and did not mean the same thing to everyone. He spoke to aggressively providing
tools to protect and enhance the community's aesthetic qualities, not simply identifying tools.
He said that he wanted to "obtain" a long term water solution, not simply "pursue" one. He
asked to make it clear that as the lead agency, the City would define the course of the future of
the downtown in cooperation with the merchants and community. He suggested taking an
aggressive approach to the improvements on 99W. Rather than "facilitating" or "promoting"
improvements, the City wanted something actually done to fix the problem.
6. NON AGENDA ITEMS t4
> Tidemark contract 1I
Mr. Monahan reported on the staff discussions with Tidemark regarding a fixed price for the
j software contract. Tidemark was concerned that if the City made changes, they could not
j complete the job for $58,570. They submitted a proposal in which $58,570 -vas not a fixed ;j .
amount but their estimate for the scope of work as defined by the City. If the City caused delays
or problems that affected Tidemark's ability to perform the work within the budget, Tidemark c
would inform the City in writing of these changes. The City and Tidemark would then negotiate
on the costs. Tidemark's total billing would not exceed $58,570 without a signed change order
f om the City. Tiremark did have to trrount for their hoprs and exnenses, and the $58.570 was
not an amount guaranteed to Tidemark. -
Councilor Hunt asked what the City's experience has been with Tidemark. Mr. Monahan said
that the City has worked with them for 10 years, and felt that they were fair. Councilor Rohlf
directed staff to monitor any activities that might cause a delay, as he did not think that
Tidemark made any significant changes in their position. j
I Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Rohlf, to authorize the City Manager
to sign the contract. t
Motion passed by unanimous voice vote of the Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors t
Hunt, Moore, Rohlf, and Scheckla voted "yes.")

> Erickson property
Mr. Monahan reported that the Planning Commission overturned the Community Development
Director's interpretation that logging had to go through site development review. The
Commission felt that development meant building something, not simply clearing the land. He
said that the Council could call it up for review in order to reinstate the Director's interpretation
or leave it stand that logging did not have to go through site development review.
Mayor Nicoli spoke to informing the property owners in writing that they were responsible to
manage any erosion and water problems caused by their cutting down trees and disturbing the
ground. Mr. Monahan said that staff has emphasized that to the Ericksons' in their discussions.

To: The Tigard City Council t
From: The East CIT C/0 Terry Smith
1
I have been participating in the meetings at East CIT for nearly four months and am here
tonight representing that group regarding the following issues.
1. The east CIT represented by Mr. Mike Mills has issued a request to ODOT for the
correction of traffic hazards at two locations in Tigard, both locations are in need of
concrete barriers or delineators to extend existing meridians in order to reduce dangerous
illegal U-turns. They have asked me to inform you of those situations and to provide you
+j with a copy of the request to ODOT
1 2. At the last CIT meeting the members had asked for a report of the review by the council
of the Downing minor land partition. The were told that the neighbors were thankful that
the council was gracious enough to call it up for review. The 92nd neighbors understood
y that the council had the right to their opinion, however they felt like the process failed
them on two counts.
j The first was that they made a reasonable request for definition or interpretation so
that these could then be applied in making the decision at hand. The request was t .
t reasonable because the City is the only one in that setting which has the right and
responsibility to interpret its code. They felt it was intellectually dishonest, and unfair to
I the 92nd neighborhood to say that these terms are not crucial or pivotal without
explaining and then close the hearing. To them, how the decision is made is just as
1 important as the decision itself. The neighborhood felt as though the city took the ball and
the bat and ran home. It made many feel like the review was not a true and complete
review.
The second item was that the law states that the written decision of the council is
required to address any portion of the code or Comprehensive plan which has been raised
I which could be construed as reasonably applicable and explain why it is or is not 1
applicable in this case. The written decision was silent on our code and plan issues raised
by the neighborhood, with no explanations of applicability or why the request were not
crucial. This appears to the neighborhood as an unlawful decision and like they and their
issues were swept under the rug. l
The CIT agreed with the request for interpretation, they did not feel the request
was unreasonable and voted to request the City provide these clarifications in the interest
of citizen involvement and land use planning. They were also told of how the
neighborhood requested the council to determine whether the trees were large and unique
during the first application submitted by Mr. Downing. During this period the City said
"you should have done this before the application was submitted". Then, when the
applicant withdrew his first application, and before he resubmitted his second application,
the neighborhood appeared before the council with the same request on June 24th The
council said the City would get back to Terry Smith. Mr. Bewersdorf wrote back to the
council stating that although the City is required to deal with significant trees and has
intended to do so, it has not been accomplished. I was never sent a copy although I did i
acquire this document. The neighborhood thought then when the City called up for review I
the second application they would have the question of whether these were large and
F
1
i
unique trees or not, fin-illy answered. However the council did not even address any of the
neighborhoods requests. i
i Even though the law says "where these trees exist the City shall ensure. etc." The City
j never took the first simple step in the strategy which is to see if they exist. Even when all
the evidence was before them. this made the neighbors feel disrespected and loose faith in
the process.
As a result the CIT requested the council to please not break faith with the tree
task force and please provide a means of determining whether these large and
unique/significant trees exist
Please grant a timely written response which fully addresses these issues and
requests.
The terms/phrases requested for definition or interpretation were large and unique
I trees, also "Area or tract". Thank you.
cordially,
Terry Smith

CITs (Citizen Involvement Teams) meet monthly in Tigard to identify and discuss issues
important to citizens. The CIT develops recommendations to be considered by
government. Of problems identified by our CIT is an urgent and dangerous situation of
j illegal U-tums at two locations in the City of Tigard on the State Highway System. Both
of these dangerous situations need prompt correction! Our Police Department has s
written hundreds of citations at these two locations, but this does not solve the problem.
Accidents have occurred at both locations due to these illegal vehicles movements.
' Motorists argue that these movements mus, be legal because they are not physically I
prevented. f ;
1. At times southbound traffic on Hwy 217 backs up at the interchange with 1-5. Vehicles
waiting to go southbound on 1-5 line up past the 72nd St. exit. Some motorists take the
I 72nd off-ramp, but before they get to 72nd they make a U-turn, and go back down the
on-ramp to by-pass all of the waiting vehicles. The no U-turn sign has not been effective, -
and now it appears to have been knocked down or removed. Recommended is a more
permanent solution. Extend the median between the off-ramp and the on-ramp with a
concrete barrier or with delineators. (See attached map) Also, the no U-turn sign needs to
be reinstalled.
2. On Hwy 99 at the Gaarde St. intersection, at times northbound traffic on Hwy 99
backs up from the traffic signal at the Gaarde St. intersection. Some motorists who
wish to go west on Gaarde do not wait for the traffic signal. Instead, they make a U-
turn on Hwy 99 and go west on Old Gaarde Rd. The existing concrete island was
installed to prevent this movement, but it does not extend far enough to the north. t
Recommended is to extend the concrete median or install delineators. (See attached t
Please address and respond to ODOT's correction of these problems, either as
recommended in this letter or a proposed alternate solution. I

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
i
Council has requested that a policy discussion take place on the level of City participation and contributions to
{ special City events, such as the Tigard Festival of Balloons. On August 12, 1997, Council discussed the issue
I and requested a workshop to discuss:
What is the City's intent when it sponsors an event; that is, is it to provide events for our citizens,
j showcase the City, or provide an opportunity for non-profits to raise money?
i STAFF RECOMMENDATION
o
( Staff recommends that Council discus the 1997 event with Bruce Ellis, Event Coordinator. Also, plans for 1998
need to move ahead. Council should discuss what the City's role should be in special City events, both from a
l financial comment and a resource commitment.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Tigard has benefited from several annual events sponsored by non-profits and supported by the City. The Tigard
Festival of Balloons is the largest annual event. The City Council has requested that a discussion be held to
better define the City's role and contributions in such events. Specifically, Council wishes to discuss:
i What is the City's intent when it sponsors an event? Is the City choosing to sponsor an event because the
event serves one or more of these purposes:
~ a. To provide events for Tigard citizens to enjoy; i
+ b. To showcase the City to residents and others;
f c T^ provide an opportunity fr .,.^_pr,.ft ,rgon;vvr;nnc to raise mnney through an event. = -

Bruce Ellis, Event Coordinator for the Tigard Festival of Balloons, has been invited to discuss his event and the
1 Council's policy issues.
I
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue to review special event funding at the Budget Committee without further review of the City policy.
FISCAL NOTES
'he City has contributed to special City events to various degrees. The discussion to be held by Council could
`lead to either a limit or City contribution, a commitment that the City receive a portion of future event process, -
or some other direction that either adds to or decreases City cost.

MEMORANDUM
CITY Or TIGARD
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: William A. Monahan, City ManagcTv
DATE: October 14, 1997
SUBJECT: Special City Events Discussion
On August 12, 1997, Council discussed City events during the Study Session portion of the
Council meeting. Council suggested that Bruce Ellis, Event Coordinator for the Tigard
Festival of Balloons, be invited to the October Study Session meeting to discuss the City's
sponsorship of future City events.
Attached is an August 6, 1997 memo which I wrote, describing the tally of special event costs
related to the June, 1997 Tigard Festival of Balloons. Within that memo I raised several
policy questions. Also attached are minutes of the Study Session discussion on August 12. At
the conclusion of the Study Session, Council suggested that the following issues be discussed
at the October meeting. _
_ What is the City's intent when it sponsors an event? Is the City's sponsorship given -

-7 7 7-
a. To provide events for Tigard citizens to enjoy;
b. To showcase the City to residents and others;
C. To provide an opportunity for non-profit organizations to raise money through
an event?
In prior years, the City's contribution to events such as the Balloon Festival included both
1 l
allocation of resources from existing budgets, as well as special appropriations. For instance,
1

Memo to Council
October 14, 1997
Page Two
in the case of the Balloon Festival, City Administration, Police, Public Works, and
Engineering all devoted some regular staff time to helping plan for and coordinate the event.
In addition, special costs were incurred by the Public Works and Police Department, primarily
overtime and other costs to assist in crowd control, clean-up, and making transportation to and
from the event as smooth as possible.
The City Council has raised questions about the staff budgets for participation in the event.
Staff needs direction on the limit of City participation and financial support for future events.
Whatever direction Council arrives at, staff will implement in 1998 events. Staff will review
i requests for funding from special event coordinators and prepare estimates of the City
contribution required to support the event. It is important that staff and Council agree to the
limits of City participation.
Discussion of the Council policy and intent will be very beneficial to staff, Council and
citizens. It is also important that clear direction be given to special event coordinators, such as
Mr. Ellis, so that the planning of such events be completed in advance of the event dates. -
Mr. Ellis has acknowledged that he will attend the Council meeting. Cathy Wheatley, Ron I;
Goodpaster, and Ed Wegner, our key staff contacts for the event, will also attend. i

j SUBJECT: Special Event Costs
1
During the Study Session preceding the Council meeting of July 8, 1997, Council briefly
discussed my July 2 memo which presented Festival of Balloon costs for 1997. Council
directed that a general discussion be held at a future meeting. Time has set aside at the August
12 Study Session for the discussion. After that discussion takes place, Council suggested that
it would be appropriate to have a discussion of Festival costs with Bruce Ellis, the event
a organizer.

Festival of Balloon .o c:
The July 2, 1997 memo presented a breakdown of expenses for City departments involved in
the event. Some departments incurred special expenses and/or overtime costs. Council asked
that staff review dic costs and separaic iuose costs incurred oniy for speciai events from costs
which would have been incurred anyway. (That is, regular shifts, seasonal repairs to the
{ parks, etc.) The costs shown in the July 2 memo and the breakout of special and regular costs
is as follows:

Therefore, the total estimated cost to the City was $41,561.42. Of this total, $15,873.17 was
labor and materials which would have been expended, even if the event was not held. The
remaining $25,688.25 was spent only because the Festival of Balloons was held.
Public Works expenditures on the Festival included:

*The signs can be used in future years for the event.
An electrician was hired to address a need that developed during the event. Electrical power
was needed by the food vendors and other Festival staff.
• i
Police costs directly related to the event were somewhat offset by 708 hours of volunteer help
provided by our Police Reserves, State Troopers, and Reserves from Beaverton, King City,
Sherwood, Tualatin, and West Linn. The Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue Squad also
contributed time to the event.

Memo to Council
August 6, 1997

4th of July Costs:
In contrast to the Festival of Balloons, the 4th of July celebration has maintained a consistent
series of activities over the past ten years. The event continues to require the same services
from the City that it has for years, such as:
i
1. Police assistance and traffic control a .
,
2. Public Works assistance in digging a trench for fireworks canisters
1
3. Insurance riders to cover the pyrotechnic operator
j
Costs associated with this year's event were:
C Police - $1,093 (18 regular hours and 14.5 overtime hours)
F kz
1
Public Works - $388.50 for overtime (above the holiday pay which those employees
i who worked were already entitled to).
Other assistance was provided during regular business hours as the City arranged for event
insurance and obtained 36 hours of volunteer assistance by the Police Reserves.
Tssues
Council expressed some concerns about the amount of the City contribution to the Festival of _
Balloons. In the past, special events have been granted City financing through the budgeting
process. During the most recent budget cycle, staff provided the Council and citizen members
of the Budget Committee with estimates of the additional contributions made by the City to
events and social service agencies in the prior year.
As events grow, in number, size of crowds, and in need for City involvement, the cost to the
City could grow unless some controls are put in place. The fine line between an event being
"City sponsored" and "City run" at times becomes difficult to determine. During the course
j of an event, a City official may be put in the position of making a judgment call that either i
incurs cost for the City or deflects cost to event organizers. It would be very helpful to
establish some policies for application at future events.

i
j
r
I
I
i
Memo to Council
August , 1997
Page Four
Staff has identified several policy issues for discussion by Council. Once preliminary
direction is given, staff can prepare a set of policies for use in guiding City involvement in
future events, while controlling the level of contribution.
Policy Questions
1. What is the level of City contribution to a "City-sponsored event?"
ti
2. When and how should the City level of involvement be set?
3 3. Should the City set a "budget" of funds to be earmarked for the event with
j Department Heads authorized to expend up to that amount? That is, if Police
have within their budget an amount of $6,000 set aside for the Festival of
Balloons above and beyond the contribution of regularly-paid staff time, can the
department expend up to that amount for any reasonable means of supporting
the event (overtime, cost to replace supplies used, etc.?)
4. Should City contributions to events be requested by event organizers during the
budget process? For example, should an organizer submit a request which
details a proposal which is all inclusive for:
i ,
A. Financial contributions (i.e., cash to be used by the organizers).
B. City staff commitments, both assignment of employees and overtime to
help set up, police, or clean up after an event.
C. .....e.......u 6nYciucS such as Physical improvements IO IdCL1teS IO
accommodate the event, (i.e., running electrical service to a location for
stage events) materials to be purchased for the event (i.e., gravel to
create a new access way or parking lot).
5. Should events be expected to always require a City contribution or is there a
point that events are expected to be self sufficient; i.e., operate on their own
without City contribution and/or reimburse the City for costs incurred to
support the event?
i
6. If an event has the means to generate revenue, (such as for parking on City
land) should the City have the opportunity to recover some or all of the revenue
to offset City costs?

7. Should the City capitalize on special events and devise fund raising methods to
recover some or all of City contributions?

of the August 12 Council meeting.

ivlr. Monahan asked if Council concurred with the staff work to create an environment of
communication with those citizens who had concerns while not issuing a permit until they
were sure of compliance with all regulations. He said that staff was trying not to make
promises that they could save something that they could not save.
Councilor Scheckla asked several questions on mitigation in this situation. Mr. Hendryx said
that the Code gave specific exemption to removal of trees in a forest tree deferral wood lot.
Dick Bewersdorff, Planning Manager, explained that the Tree Ordinance Task Force had
specifically excluded tax deferred woodlots because of testimony from people who had set
them aside to harvest for funds to send their children to college. The owners of this lot
intended to harvest the timber before selling the lot to developers. A developer going through
the subdivision process would have to mitigate for those trees.
Mr. Monahan said that tonight staff expected neighbors at the meeting to report to the Council
on the CIT discussion. He reported that neighbors have requested staff to make a commitment
to do whatever they could to make sure that neighborhoods were protected from erosicn. Staff
wanted this situation to have the least impact possible but with the understanding that the trees
would be cut down.
t
i Councilor Hunt mentioned the erosion problems that resulted from the steep slope of the hill
of the Renaissance Summit development. Councilor Scheckla asked if they would have a j
,problem.-vitlrrne6l' ountam. Mr. Monahan said that they hoped to avoid that.
i
> City Events: Policy Discussion on City Participation and Contributions
Mr. Monahan reference a memo on the costs o' `e Ct o a oon` estrval, broken 1
down by department detailing costs that would have been incurred anyway and special costs.
It also included the Fourth of July costs which were very limited. He pointed out that the r
Balloon Festival was growing so fast that it was a new event every year. E
r
Mr. Monahan: suggested requiring special events and social agencies to give the City more 1
advance notice of what their proposals would be prior to the budget process and assigning a
staff person as the contact person for the event or agency. This staff person would identify all
the potential costs so that staff could include a real cost by department into the budget process.
If Council wanted to, they could set an amount for the event, and staff would know that they E
had to limit expenses to that amount. With sufficient notice, the special event or agencies
COUId make decisions on their nrnarnmc nr tr rn Snri niternn~ive fi ndino-
Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, reviewed the staff work at the Festival, agreeing that it
did impact his department most of all. He pointed out the positive attitude of staff towards the
Festival, despite the extensive overtime required. He mentioned that the soccer fields were
scheduled to be shut down after the Festival regardless. He said that staff worked Sunday and
Monday to finish cleaning up. He noted the help provided by the carnival and food vendors in
making it easy for them to pick up trash. Bruce Ellis, Event Coordinator, had arranged for the
contractor to retrieve all the rented equipment.
Councilor Scheckla asked if there were items that the City could have the Festival pay for,
such as extra trash pickups. Mr. Monahan said that was an item for discussion. He explained
that last year the Festival did not have any surplus revenue; however, this year it appears that j

i
there was profit. He advised that Mr. Ellis had indicated willingness in the past to help
finance any needed post-event field repair.
Mr. Wegner commented that eventually the Festival would "top out" where the City would
have to limit the number of balloons.
Mayor Nicoli asked about using volunteers to assist City staff. Mr. Wegner said they would
have more success asking volunteers (such as the Boy Scouts) to help with the set up than with
the clean up. He pointed out that school was still in session during the week prior to the
Festival.
i
i
Councilor Rohlf asked if they would see an adjustment to the budget. Mr. Monahan said no,
because all the costs were within last year's budget.
Councilor Hunt expressed concern with the extra money being spent without the Council
knowing it was being expended. Mr. Monahan said that it had been a surprise to staff who had j
not realized the crowd the Festival would draw until they "saw the cars coming." He said that
the year before had not reflected these dollar amounts but possibly staff was now doing a
better job of reporting the costs.
Mr. Monahan said that the information this year would help staff in their discussions with the
Balloon Festival organizers. He said that there was not an expectation on the Festival's part i
that the City would support the event to the point where the Festival retained all profits
without assisting the City with some of the expenses incurred.
1 -
j Councilor Hunt asked if there was a way to measure the economic value the Festival brought
to the business community of Tigard. Mayor Nicoli said that the nonprofits could tell the City
how much money they made (which he thought was roughly around $30,000). He said that he
was certain that with 10,000 to 15,000 people coming into the town for a three day event, there 1
was money going into the business community.
Councilor Hunt asked who authorized the nonprofits that operated at the Festival. Mr.
Monahan said that the Festival did. He reported that Mr. Ellis told him that he tried to restrict
it to Tigard based non-profits only. The City's only input has been questions about traffic. €
insurance and neighborhood impact. He said that if the Council felt it was important to know 4
how much money the non-profits made, he thought that Mr. Ellis would be willing to share
that :i rrnation with them.
Mayor Nicoli pointed out that the non-profits reinvested the money into the community. The t
Festival fed the social service structure of the City in one way or another.
f
Mr. Monahan reported that he informed Mr. Ellis that the report in the Oregonian regarding
the Council discussion on the Festival did not accurately reflect- the tone of the Council. The
Council was simply curious, not critical. 1
1 ,
Councilor Moore asked that a discussion on a special events policy include what the intent of
the City was in sponsoring events. Was it to showcase the City or to provide an opportunity
7 for non-profits to raise money? Councilor Rohlf suggested a workshop on those issues.
Councilor Moore asked for information on what other communities spent on their big events. j

? Dear Bruce:
Cathy Wheatley has advised me that you do plan to attend the City Council Study
Session meeting of October 21, 1997. I look forward to your input as the Council
discusses its policy on sponsorship of special City events.
Enclosed for your information is a copy of my memo to Council, and attachments
I
regarding this Council agenda item.
As you review the minutes from the August 12, 1997 meeting, you will note issues
raised by Council. I expect that the following questions will be asked of you at the s
upcoming meeting.
1" Can you provide the Council with the final figures on the festival costs
and revenue for the 1997 event?
2" Do you propose to share any profits from the 1997 event (and future
events) with the City?
3. Can you tell us what each non-profit involved in the 1997 event earned
from the event? `
4. Do you have any ideas how the City may offset expenses which it incurs j
j to support the event?
1
5. Have you developed plans for dealing with transportation questions for
the upcoming event?
6. Do you have any major changes planned for the 1998 event? {

The City staff would like to meet with you in the very near future to begin planning for I
the 1998 event. Staff would like to hear your plans for activities over the event
weekend, so they may begin formWating action plans for delivery of City service
during that time. I expect that the Council discussion will give us a clearer idea of
what the City's level of participation will be, and limitations that will be placed on our
budget. As in prior years, the transportation question will be among the most
important issues requiring attention.

TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council
Item NO
FROM: Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager For Council Newsletter dated ~7
I
DATE: October 17, 1997
SUBJECT: Work Programs to Implement Council Goals
Attached are copies of preliminary work programs developed by deparL~nents that will be
responsible to implement the proposed Council goals. All of the work programs include goal
elements and timelines.
The work programs are preliminary because, in most cases, while they reflect realistic timelines,
they do not incorporate all of the department's programs, just the Council goals and visioning
strategies. The work programs were developed and submitted in different formats. A
consistent
I format will be used for the final version.
i I
! The Community Development Department sheets include all of the Council goals and visioning
strategies that complement the goals; however, the timelines still need to be reviewed in
conjunction with other tasks.
i
Upon Council adoption of the goals, all City departments will revise their work programs to include 1
implementation of the Council goals. J

Comprehensive Public Facility Plan for Streets
• 2 weeks - Compile information and assemble existing plans (November 1997)
F:
• 1 month - Evaluate available information and existing plans. (December 1997)
i • Review progress submittals and provide input into the City of Tigard Transportation
_ System Plan (TSP) update study currently being performed by DKS. This TSP will I
I provide critical information on points of traffic congestion, need for alternate routes,
and will provide a list of projects for future implementation. The updated TSP is
expected to be submitted by April 1998. (April 1998)
• 1 month - Identify additional studies and plans that are necessary to a) serve the f
existing City and b) serve those areas within the urban growth boundary that are I "
likely to be annexed to the City. (April 1998)
• 1 month - Develop tasks that would result in preparation of the comprehensive plans
(May 1998)
• 10 months - Develop comprehensive facility plan incorporating such elements as the
TSP, preventative and corrective maintenance programs, and a comprehensive Traffic
Calming Management program. This includes updating of the Pavement Management
Program and incorporation of the results in the comprehensive facility plan. Schedule
presentations to and discussions with the Planning Commission during the
formulation process. Citizen participation and input will also be solicited during this
phase. (May 98 thru March 1999)
• 1 month - Identify funding options based on the developed plan. The funding element -
will need to be coordinated with the funding strategy and action plans developed i
during the visioning program. That process recommended formation of a task force to
examine funding alternatives and to make recommendations for implementation of
needed future improvements. The funding elements for the comprehensive street plan
should be based on the findings and recommendations of the task force. (April 1999)
• 2 months - Establish a long-term program for implementation. Elements can be
incorporated in the yearly CIP budget effective July 1, 1999.
i . Submit findings, proposed funding mechanisms, and long-term implementation plan
to Planning Commission (May 1999)
• Submit findings, proposed funding mechanisms, and long-term implementation plan
