MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999
• S'T'UDY SESSION
> Meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Mayor Jim Nicoli
> Council Present: Mayor Jim Nicoli, Councilors Paul Hunt, Joyce Patton, and Ken Scheckla.
> Staff Present: City Manager Bill Monahan; City Recorder Catherine Wheatley; Public
Works Director Ed Wegner; Community Development Director Jim
Hendryx; City Engineer Gus Duenas; Legal Counsel Tim Ramis; Assistant to
the City Manager Liz Newton; Library Director Melinda Sissons
o Bill Monahan, City Manager, noted the upcoming League of Oregon Cities conference.
> WALNUT ISLAND
Jim Hendryx, Community Development Director, reported on the annexation meeting held
Monday for the Walnut Island residents. He presented the draft flyer that staff planned to send
to the residents advertising the next meeting on Monday, October 25. He noted that it would be
beneficial if Councilors attended the meeting.
Mr. Hendryx reviewed the presenters at the first meeting. He stated that staff logged all
questions asked; they answered those that they could and told the residents that they would
answer their other questions at the next meeting
Mr. Hendryx presented a tax table that compared the estimated taxes on a $150,000 home in
City of Tigard (Area 2374), Unincorporated County (-Area 2374), and Unincorporated County
(Area 5178). Mayor Nicoli noted that it would cost the owner of a $150,000 home $272 in taxes
to annex to the city. Mr. Hendryx said that he was still working on the impact on taxes of the
Tigard road bond debt coming off in June 2000 and a Washington County local improvement
district.
Mr. Monahan said that the residents made comments that indicated they thought that the County
paid Tigard for providing police service to the island. Washington County Administrator
Charlie Cameron was at the meeting and advised the residents that, while Tigard delivered the
service, the County did not pay anything to Tigard.
Councilor Scheckla asked if staff knew how many residents were interested in hooking up to
sewer. Mr. Hendryx said that he did not know but pointed out that Walnut Island was the
largest concentration of homes without sewer in Washington County. Mr. Monahan mentioned
that the residents appeared very interested in the City's sewer reimbursement district program.
He suggested discussing the program with respect to what the City intended to offer to residents
newly annexed.
Councilor Moore mentioned that there were long term taxpayers in Tigard who were also
unsewered. Mr. Monahan pointed out that staff was reducing the number of existing residents
without sewer through the sewer reimbursement program. Councilor Hunt noted that newly
annexed residents would pay for bonded indebtedness that they did not occur. He spoke to
treating all Tigard citizens the same, regardless of when they annexed into the City.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 1
Councilor Scheckla asked how staff would handle a situation in which all the Walnut Island
residents wanted to hook up at once. Gus Duenas, City Engineer, explained that the sewers
~.,ed to be installed logically based on the location of existing service. Councilor Scheckla asked
that the residents be informed of that up front.
Mr. Hendryx reviewed the notice area, including ancillary islands on Bull Mountain outside of
the Walnut Island. He said that staff was preparing to take in all the islands. He noted that the
Metzger area was not an island. He stated that staff intended to review the next steps in the
annexation process at the October 25 meeting.
In response to a question from Councilor Hunt, Mr. Hendryx said that staff was not
recommending annexation of areas in Metzger and referred to Council's direction to concentrate
on the Walnut Island and the ancillary islands. Mr. Hendryx reiterated that the City could not
compel the annexation of the Metzger area because the City boundaries were only on three
sides, not on four.
® Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, discussed the Atfalati feasibility study meetings
scheduled for October 25 and November 10 in the Commons at Tigard High School. He
confirmed that the Task Force invited all elected officials from the six jurisdictions (Tigard,
Sherwood, Durham, Tualatin, and the two school districts) to attend both meetings. He said that
they set the October 25 meeting as the general public information and input meeting and the
November 11 meeting as a governance workshop for the elected officials. Mr. Hendryx noted
that Tualatin changed its mind about joining the study last night.
> SW 69`n LID
Councilor Patton asked if the Council would have a study session on the SW 690' LID with
respect to the Jones letter. Mr. Duenas distributed the preliminary assessments from the
preliminary engineering report for the SW 69"' LID. He mentioned that the City did contribute
$200,000 to the LID but the Council decided that there would be no exceptions made with
respect to the assessments for single-family residential properties within the LID. He
commented that the best use of the land was commercial.
Mr. Duenas reviewed the work done by the City for the single-family homes, including the
conversion for the underground power hookup and installing two paved driveways (normally
resident costs). He mentioned construction manager Martin DeHaas' comment that the residents
would take as much as the City would give them. He noted the construction of the keystone
wall and the attempt to save as many trees as possible.
Mr. Duenas reviewed the methodology used to calculate the assessments. He pointed out that
the $200 per lineal foot figure was not out of line with the costs of installing the half street
improvements that would be required of the property owner once he developed his property. He
noted the property with a double street frontage. He cited Tim Roth's comments that full street
improvements in the Triangle cost him $600 per lineal foot.
Mr. Duenas confirmed to Councilor Patton that the City installed the portion of the
undergrounding of the utilities from the street to the house, normally a resident cost.
Mr. Duenas mentioned that the owners of one of the single-family residences have not
complained at all and were happy with the construction. He said that Cecil and Donna Jones,
the other property owners, testified before Council and asked for special consideration. He
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 2
indicated that Martin DeHaas told the Jones at that time about a State program for senior
citizens under a certain income level.
Councilor Moore asked what the cost was for the improvements installed by the City. Mr.
Duenas estimated a cost of $5,000 to $10,000. He explained that landscaping costs listed for the
single-family residence were that property owner's share of the landscaping costs throughout the
entire LID.
Councilor Scheckla pointed out that the Jones have lived in the area for a long time and had not
wanted the LID. He emphasized that most of the property owners in the LID were businesses,
not single-family residential. Councilor Moore commented that the LID improvements also
made the single-family residential properties more marketable and valuable in the long run.
Mayor Nicoli concurred that the LID did not hurt the homeowners financially in the long nin.
Councilor Patton noted that the Jones acknowledged the increased value of their property but
they felt that the LID assessment was too much. Mr. Duenas referred to negotiations with the
Joneses.
Councilor Scheckla spoke to giving the homeowners some relief somehow. Mr. Duenas said
that that other options were to reduce the homeowners' assessment and assign the difference to
the other LID participants or to have the City pick up the cost. Councilor Moore expressed
concern about setting a precedent. Councilor Hunt indicated that he did not favor a
redistribution if the existing assessments reflected a logical distribution of the cost.
Councilor Scheckla asked if the Joneses could appeal and hold up the process. Mr. Duenas said
that the Joneses could question the final assessment. He indicated that they did need to pay their
fair share based on their area and frontage, the same as the other properties. He said that he did
not think that they would contest the assessment on that basis but they could request special
consideration from the Council. He pointed out that the Joneses could sell their property after
the completion of the LID and realize the profit. Mayor Nicoli concurred.
Councilor Scheckla asked if a 20-year assessment went with the property if it sold. Mr.
Monahan indicated that a usual condition of sale was paying off an assessment at the time of the
sale.
> DOWNTOWN PARKING
Councilor Hunt asked for discussion by the Council on making the Ash Street property into
public parking for the downtown. Mr. Monahan explained that the City leased the Conner house
to Neighborshare and Community Partners for Affordable Housing on a one year lease. He said
that staff was working on moving some Public Works staff out to the Keefer house as an
alternative to demolishing it.
Councilor Hunt pointed out that the downtown merchants would have a difficult time finding
any additional parking in the downtown. He reiterated his request to discuss turning the
property into a city parking lot. Councilor Moore suggested asking the Oregon Downtown
Development Association for its assessment of the usefulness of a parking lot two to three
blocks away from the main downtown street.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 3
Mr. Monahan concurred with talking with the downtown merchants. He commented that, in the
long term, an Ash Street parking lot might make sense but right now the Chamber parking lot on
Main Street was underutilized and there may not be a need currently for additional parking
further away.
Councilor Hunt disagreed with discussing this with the downtown group before the Council
discussed it. He indicated concern that this could be perceived as an offer for additional parking
and then the Council might decide that it did not want to provide parking at that location.
Mr. Hendryx pointed out that the downtown merchants have parking listed as a priority. He
suggested including the Ash Street property as one of the options when the merchants reviewed
parking within the context of the entire downtown.
Councilor Moore spoke to finding out from the merchants how far away parking would be
considered usable for the Main Street area. If they said no more than one to two blocks away,
then the Council did not consider the Ash Street property. If the merchants said that they would
consider anything two to three blocks away, then the Council could consider the property.
Councilor Hunt mentioned employees using the Ash Street property for parking to free up
downtown spaces. Mr. Monahan said that staff would bring this back for discussion at the
November workshop.
> EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Tigard City Council went into Executive Session at 7:03 p.m. under the provisions of ORS
192.660 (1) (d.), (e), & (h) to discuss labor relations, real property transactions, current and
pending litigation issues.

3. VISITOR'S AGENDA
o Jack Polans, 16000 SW Queen Victoria Place, Icing City
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 4
Mr. Polaris read from a prepared statement. He asked if Mr. W egner's statement to the
Intergovernmental Water Board that the drinking water for all Tigard contract jurisdictions
would be combined was true. He asked the Council to provide him with a copy of the
September 27, 1999, Tigard Winer District Board of Commissioners meeting agenda.
Councilor Hunt stated that he informed Mr. Polaris that the City had no authority over the
Tigard Water District and could not provide him with any of the District's documentation.
Mayor Nicoli confirmed that the City had no authority over the District. He asked Mr. Polaris to
submit his first question in writing for staff to answer.
Cecil .Tones, 12190 SW 69`n Avenue
Mr. Jones referenced his letter. He stated that he was disappointed that the Council did not do
something for the two homeowners in the SW 691h LID. He argued that the City pushed through
Beveland Street for the benefit of the developers in the area, particularly Specht Development.
He held that the improvements to Beveland Street had nothing to do with the homeowners on
SW 69"' Street and did not add value to their properties. He noted that the homeowners had no
way of recouping the costs of the LID as the developers did through their leases.
Mr. Jones stated that the assessment for the 8,500 square foot single-family lots was over
$50,000. He asked why the Council did nothing for the homeowners. He cited his
conversations with the developers in which the developers indicated their surprise that the City
did nothing for the homeowners. He said that the developers had expected that they would have
to pick up some of the homeowners' costs. He emphasized that this was a tough situation for
the homeowners.
Mayor Nicoli mentioned the Council's lengthy discussion of Mr. Jones' first request for relief.
He said that the Council reached a decision. He discussed the Council's concern with the issue
of fairness. He stated that the Council felt that the City treated the homeowners fairly along
with the other neighbors on the street. He said that to do something different for the
homeowr_e. s would be unfair to the rest of the neighbors.
Mayor Ni.:oii ;,mphasized that the Council did not ignore Mr. Jones' concerns. He stated that
they did not dispute the fact that their decision might create a hardship for the homeowners. He
suggested that Mr. Jones' request was to effectively ask the Council to treat the other people on
the street unfairly. He said that the Council was not prepared at this time to take action on Mr.
Jones' request.
Mr. Jones stated that he did not object to paying for the improvements to SW 69`h Street itself.
He argued that the improvements to the cross streets included in the LID were solely for the
benefit of the businesses who could recoup the cost of improving the cross streets. He reiterated
that the homeowners had no way to recoup those costs. He said that if more single-family
residences existed on those cross streets, the City would not have been able to include them in
the LID because of the backlash from the residents.
Mr. Jones advised that to ask the two single-family residences to pay for the cross streets was
unfair. He pointed out that Beveland Street was three blocks from his home and added
$500,000 to the cost of the LID. He reiterated that the Beveland Street improvements provided
no benefit to the single-family residences.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 5
Councilor Scheckla asked how the Jones ended up in the LID. Mr. Jones said that they lived on
SW 69th Street. He noted that Specht Development bought up all the land west of SW 69m and
formed the LID. He said that Specht made no attempt to buy his property. He mentioned that
Specht informed him that his property was worth $12 a foot or $102,000 for his property. He
pointed out that the LID assessed him $30,000.
Councilor Moore mentioned that, according to staff, the City was paying for the Beveland
improvements with the $200,000 it contributed to the LID. Mr. Jones held that those
improvements would cost more than $200,000.
Councilor Moore said that the final assessment figures were not yet in. He indicated that Mr.
Jones could return, to discuss the final assessment with Council after the project was completed.
He pointed out that if Mr. Jones were to install the half-street improvement along his frontage
himself, his costs would be higher than $30,000. He characterized the proposed assessment as a
savings in the long run. Mr. Jones argued that usually people paid for the improvements at the
time they developed the property. Those improvements were not typically made in front of
residences.
Mr. Jones conceded that there would be savings down the road. He reiterated that he was
willing to pay his share of an LID formed on SW 69'h Street because he knew that would
increase the value of his property. He pointed out that most LIDs were formed on one street and
did not include the cross streets. He argued that the City included Beveland, Franklin, and
Elmhurst in the LID for the benefit of Specht Development. He reiterated that improving
Beveland Street did nothing for his property yet he had to pay a share of its costs.
Councilor Moore said that street improvements in the area benefited everyone in the area. He
held that a developer would see the improvements as providing the access he needed for his
business.
Mr. Jones reiterated that the businesses could recoup their costs but the residents could not. He
commented that, although he believed that the City would like to see the residents out of the
area, until someone could buy his house and provide him with a house of equal value, he had to
stay there. He held that he would be stuck for the $250 payment for the rest of his life.
e Linda Nilson, Washington County
Ms. Nilson thanked the Mayor and the Council for responding so quickly to the Mayors'
Campaign Against Breast Cancer with the proclamation this evening. She mentioned the
County's breast and cervical screening program for women without health insurance. She cited
the 1997 preliminary statistics (indicating a 50% increase in the rate of cancer detection and a
slight decrease in the death rate) as evidence that early detection did save lives. She mentioned
the community education partnership they had with the Tigard Library as part of the
Washington County Cooperative Library Services.
4. CONSENT AGENDA
Motion by Councilor Scheckla, seconded by Councilor Lunt, to approve the Consent
Agenda.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors

5. PRESENT ATION: STATE OF OREGON READY-TO-READ GRANT OUTSTANDING
PROJECT AWARD
Mary Kay Dahlgreen, State Library Youth Services Consultant, discussed the State `Ready-
to-Read' grant program. She said that the legislature has gradually increased the funding for
this program from 50 cents per child in 1993 to $1.00 per child in 1999. She indicated that the
State Library chose six projects out of the 120 projects funded in 1997/98 as outstanding
projects, including the Tigard Public Library's Ready-to-Read grant project.
Ms. Dahigreen stated that the Tigard Public Library received a $5,438 grant to provide deposit
collections at two low income housing sites run by Community Partners for Affordable
Housing. She indicated that the Tigard Library staff should be proud of their success in
creatively enhancing library services and in creating partnerships and programs that would have
a positive impact on Tigard in the years to come.
Ms. Dahlgreen acknowledged Melinda Sisson, Library Director, and Renita Gerard,
Community Partners for Affordable Housing. On behalf of the Oregon State Library, she
presented the Tigard Public Library with an Outstanding Project Award for the Ready-to-Read
grant program for 1997/98. Mayor Nicoli thanked the staff for their work.
6. CONSIDER ADOPTION OF OREGON SPECIALTY CODE, APPENDIX, CHAPTER 9,
SECTION 14 (Fire Life Safety in High Occupant Buildings)
STAFF REPORT
Gary Lampella, Building Official, stated that Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, in conjunction
with the Oregon Buildings Official Association, developed this section of the Code relating to
fire sprinklers in apartments, motels, hotels and congregate residences. He explained that the
State made adoption of this section optional for cities. He reviewed the criteria given in the
section for requiring fire sprinklers in new construction. He stated that TVF&R has found over
the years that sprinkler systems did save lives and property damage. He asked the Council to
adopt the section.
Councilor Scheckla asked what happened to the buildings built before the adoption of this
section. Mr. Lampella stated that the Building Division only had authority over new
construction; he could not require retrofitting of older buildings. He estimated the percentage of
buildings in Tigard that were apartments at approximately 50%, similar to Wilsonville and
Beaverton's estimates. Mr. Hendryx confirmed that Tigard had around 50% of its buildings in
multifamily units. I:e said that he could bring back more exact figures at the next Council
meeting.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 7
COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION
Councilor Scheckla asked staff to track the number of fires in the older apartment buildings in
the past to provide justification for adopting this provision. Mr. Lampella said that TVF&R had
statistics on previous fires and sprinklered buildings.
Mr. Lampella clarified to Councilor Scheckla that this section became law in Oregon only for
those jurisdictions that chose to adopt it. He explained that the State put those portions of the
Code that did not have statewide applicability in the appendix chapters and allowed individual
jurisdictions to adopt them as they saw fit. He cited the Grading chapter as an example, noting
that Pendleton did not have the excavation and grading problems that the Portland area did.
Mayor Nicoli pointed out that a sprinkler system did not reduce the number of fires; it reduced
the amount of property damage and gave people more time to get out. He said that this
provision came about as a result of the Washington County Fire District's Board of Directors
going to the legislature and asking for this to be set up. He characterized adoption of the chapter
as the final step implementing an idea that he had supported when he first heard about it.
Councilor Moore asked what the reaction of the Homebuilders Association had been to this
provision. Mr. Lampella said that the Homebuilders had some concerns but there was not much
opposition. Mr. Hendryx pointed out that the Homebuilders concerns focused on the increased
costs of additional regulations. Mr. Lampella mentioned the cost reduction measures TVF&R
was working on to help offset the cost of a sprinkler system. Councilor Scheckla commented
that a fire sprinkler system could reduce insurance rates also.
Jeff Greenwald, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Fire Marshall, explained that retrofitting
buildings require a different mechanism than they intended to create through this section. He
characterized these regulations as "drawing a line in the sand" at a point in time in order to stop
an existing problem (lack of fire protection in low-income housing) from continuing on into the
future. He observed that the apartments built today became low income housing in 30 years.
Mr. Greenwald stated that the fire death rate over the last five years has occurred almost
exclusively in multifamily housing. He pointed out that the unique environment in apartments
meant that your neighbor's fire was your fire also, whereas a single-family residence could
escape a fire next door.
Councilor Scheckla asked if the commercial buildings had a different policy on fire protection.
Mr. Greenwald said that the Uniform Building Code required commercial buildings to be
sprinklered at different heights and square footages than multifamily buildings.
Motion by Councilor Moore, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to adopt Ordinance 99-27.
The City Recorder read the number and title of the ordinance.
ORDINANCE 99-27, AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING OREGON STRUCTURAL

7. PRESENTATION ON PHOTO RADAR IN THE CITY OF TIGARD
Mayor Nicoli noted that this was staff's second presentation to Council on this issue.
STAFF REPORT
Police Chief Ron Goodpaster asked for Council authorization to proceed with developing a
plan to implement photo radar in the City of Tigard. He reviewed the history of photo radar in
Oregon, beginning with the state legislature's authorization of its use by Portland and
Beaverton. He said that the legislature added four cities to the list of authorized cities in 1999,
including Tigard. He mentioned that the citizens on the 1996 Tigard Traffic Calming
Committee recommended photo radar as one method for achieving the goals of speed reduction,
accident reduction and maintaining neighborhood livability.
Chief Goodpaster reviewed the statistics from Portland and Beaverton documenting the benefits
of using photo radar. He mentioned that a 1997 law regulating photo radar was very specific on
when, where and how cities could use photo radar.
Chief Goodpaster stated that other cities around the US who used photo radar emphasized to the
Tigard staff the importance of community education and public relations both before and during
the photo radar program. He commented that keeping the public informed about a successful
photo radar was in and of itself a deterrent to speeding in neighborhoods.
Chief Goodpaster mentioned that the 1999 legislature also authorized .five cities to use photo red
light, including Tigard. He said that they wanted to get the photo radar program up and running
before they tackled the photo red light program. He discussed using the experience of other
cities with photo radar, such as Portland and Beaverton, in order to avoid the mistakes and
problems those cities encountered during the set up of the Tigard program. He pointed out that,
with Portland and Beaverton set to implement photo red light in a two to three months, Tigard
could also have the benefit of those cities' experiences with photo red light when it came time to
set up the Tigard program later on.
Sergeant Karl Kaufman, Traffic Officer, reviewed the regulations governing the use of photo
radar. He said that it could only be used on residential streets, school zones, and other streets as
designated by Council (including Durham, Walnut, Hwy 99, Hall Blvd, and Scholls Ferry) but
not on controlled access highways, such as Hwy 217 or I-5. It could not be used for more than
four hours in any one location. A uniformed officer (including reserve) had to operate the van
and equipment. The van had to be marked as a photo radar van but did not have to have the red
lights.
Sergeant Kaufman stated that the required reader board showing the speed of the approaching
vehicle was built into the back of the van. He mentioned the requirement to post signs on major
routes entering the city notifying drivers that the city used photo radar, and to post a sign near
the van notifying drivers that photo radar was in use at this location.
Sergeant Kaufman reviewed the operation of the equipment by the uniformed officer. He
indicated that the officer kept a log of all photos taken. He described the vendor process to
review the film using two people, one to correlate the photo with the officer's log and to input
the data, and another to confirm the information and to access the motor vehicle registration
database. He said that they presumed that the registered owner of the vehicle was the driver of
the vehicle but in the case of discrepancies (such as female driver, male registered owner), they
did not issue the citation.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 9
Sergeant Kaufman said that they had to mail the citation with six days of the alleged violation.
The registered owner had 30 days to present a Certificate of innocence, affirming that he/she
was not the driver at the time, and to provide a copy of the owner's drivers license. He
:,xplained that businesses receiving citations also had 30 days to provide the name of the
employee driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation. They then canceled the
business citation and issued a new one to the employee. He said that the penalties for speeding
violations documented by photo radar were the same as for those cited by an officer.
Sergeant Kaufman reviewed the areas where the department would like to use photo radar,
including hilly areas (such as Hillshire, Benchview, Ascension Drive) where they could not
operate motorcycles, SW Walnut where the speed changed from 30 to 35, certain areas on SW
121 and SW 135, and all school zones.
Chief Goodpaster reviewed the financial issues of photo radar. He said that the private vendor
made his money based on a percentage of the fines collected. He explained that they would
negotiate the percentage split as part of a contract custom-fit to Tigard's needs. He mentioned
that each city had a unique contract with the vendor. He emphasized that the City did not pay
the vendor; the violator paid for the program through the fine system paid into the court. He
confirmed to Councilor Moore that the City funded the uniformed officer manning the
equipment and the usual court expenses.
Nadine Robinson, Court Administrator, stated that presently they were reviewing the staffing
level they would need to handle the increased court case load and paperwork resulting from this
program. She mentioned possibly upgrading the computer to take the information directly from
the vendor over the Internet, thus avoiding duplicate data entry. She said that they would bring
back information on space concerns and court room availability to the Council at a later date.
COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION
Councilor Scheckla asked for information regarding the cost benefit of photo radar to the City,
including whether or not it would be a revenue maker. Chief Goodpaster said that photo radar
was not a money maker. It had expenses attached to the program, including the uniformed
officer's time. He mentioned that Portland subsidized their program and Beaverton claimed a
modest surplus (but he did not know if Beaverton included all expenses related to the program
against the revenue).
Chief Goodpaster emphasized that it did take money to run the program. Any revenue went
back into the general fund and needed to be allocated to cover those expenses. He said that staff
would research the program costs and provide the Council with the best cost estimate figure
possible before Council decided whether or not to accept the contract bid. He concurred with
Councilor Moore that staff was asking for direction to implement the planning of the program
development; and that staff would return to the Council for final approval.
Councilor Scheckla asked if the City or the vendor picked up the liability for vandalism of the
equipment, citing the incident in Beaverton. Chief Goodpaster clarified that it was the
Beaverton unmanned radar trailer with the reader board (not the manned photo radar van) that
was vandalized. He indicated that the presence of a police officer with the photo radar van
should deter vandalism.
Councilor Scheckla asked what the procedure was for out of town license plates or rental cars.
Chief Goodpaster said that they would negotiate the procedure for out of town license plates
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 10
with the vendor. He explained that the process depended on the agreements a vendor had with
different states in the U.S. to access motor vehicle registration databases. He mentioned the
reciprocal agreements between Oregon and several other states to prosecute offenses committed
by that state's resident in another state. He assured the Council(.,r that they intended to cite out-
of-town drivers as well as local drivers. He said that they would treat a rental auto the same as a
business vehicle.
Councilor Scheckla mentioned the issue of day/night use. Chief Goodpaster said that they could
operate the equipment during either the day or night.
Councilor Scheckla asked what the length of contract would be with the vendor. Chief
Goodpaster said that he recommended a one year term for the initial contract but they might go
to a multi-year contract once they had a history with a vendor.
Councilor Scheckla asked how staff intended to address the space problem at City Hall. Chief
Goodpaster said that they were discussing that issue, and intended to research it thoroughly
during the planning process. He reiterated that staff would provide more in-depth answers and
the advantages and disadvantages of the program when they returned to Council with their
proposed implementation plan.
Councilor Scheckla asked if staff had any input from local businesses. He mentioned his
concern that issuing a lot of tickets might discourage people from shopping in Tigard and hurt
the business people. Chief Goodpaster stated that businesses supported photo radar and speed
enforcement.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Moore, to direct the Police Chief t go
ahead with his investigation into the proposal for photo radar.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Patton and Scheckla voted "yes.") [5-0]
Councilor Patton asked if staff had an estimate on when they expected to return to Council.
Chief Goodpaster said that they were looking at mid-February.
8. UPDATE ON NEIGHBORHOOD SEWER REIMBURSEMENT DISTRICT PROGRAM
STAFF REPORT
Mr. Duenas presented the staff report using a slide presentation. He described the elements of
the successful neighborhood sewer reimbursement district program developed by staff at
Council's direction to provide an incentive to Tigard residents to hook on to sewer. He stated
that, since 1996, the City has either completed (or was in the process of providing) 116 sewer
service connection points. He said that this reduced the number of unsewered lots in the city
from 662 to 546. He mentioned the annual budget of $500,000 for the program.
Mr. Duenas said that only 15 lots have actually hooked up to sewer at this time. He discussed
the five projects currently near completion or in process: SW 106`h and Johnson, SW 100` and
Inez, Walnut/Tiedeman, Beveland and Hermosa, and Delmonte and SW 103`d. He reviewed the
locations of the eight districts on a map.
Mr. Duenas mentioned the 1993 staff recommendation that the City cap the citizens' costs for
sewer hookup at a reasonable level: $5,000. He said that the City subsidized the costs from
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 11
$8,000 to $15,000 with the citizen picking up any costs over $15,000. He stated that staff would
return to Council to ask for a three-year renewal of the program when it expired in October
2000.
Mr. Duenas referenced the interest among the Walnut Island residents with respect to the sewer
reimbursement program. He indicated that, although staff felt that the City should extend the
program to the annexed areas, funding was a problem because they only had $500,000 budgeted
for the program and they estimated a cost of $400,000 to extend sewer to the Walnut Island. He
suggested increasing the program.
Mr. Duenas recommended extending the sewer to a newly annexed Walnut Island using a
phased in approach over the next five to ten years. He suggested this approach if the City did
not want to sewer the area all at once through an LID. He assured the Council that staff did
have a sewer master plan that would allow them to phase in sewer connections through the
reimbursement district program.
COUNCIL QUES'T'IONS AND DISCUSSION
Mayor Nicoli asked if the City and USA have discussed USA participating in funding the
program jointly through a reimbursement program. Mr. Duenas said that they have discussed
the issue but USA has made no commitments at this point. He commented that USA's program
was primarily an LID program and USA might not have any funding to provide to Tigard. He
said that they would explore the possibility of doing something for the sewers similar to what
they have done for the streets in asking the County to help fund the projects in the transportation
bond.
Councilor Patton asked if there were projects in the queue that the City has not started
construction on. Mr. Duenas said that the only project that staff has not yet started construction
on was the Delmonte project but they expected it to start soon. He reviewed the process staff
followed when someone asked the City about a sewer reimbursements district. He pointed out
that, without neighborhood. support to form a reimbursement district, things did not get beyond
the speculation stage.
Mr. Duenas confirmed to Councilor Patton that the costs to an individual homeowner to install
sewer on his own were prohibitive. He said that it was expensive to run a sewer line from the
existing lines, unless the resident happened to live right next to an existing line. He concurred
that the best method was through the reimbursement district process by which residents shared
the cost of running the lateral lines to their properties.
Councilor Patton asked for verification that the money paid by the residents into the
reimbursement district did not go into the City's general fund but instead went back into the
program to fund other districts. Mr. Duenas confirmed that the sewer reimbursement district
fund was a revolving fund. He clarified that the residents paid not only their fair share through
the district, but they also paid the costs of plumbing, closing the septic system, and the $2,335
sewer connection fee on top of the costs of sewer construction.
Mr. Duenas indicated that the cost of redoing a septic system was between $15,000 to $20,000
for a 20 year life span. He concurred with Councilor Patton that redoing septic systems was
becoming more and more difficult in urban areas. He said that the reimbursement district
allowed residents not to incur the cost of redoing the septic system and then later on having to
hook up to sewer when it became available.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 12
Councilor Hunt spoke to being careful in how the City approached installing sewers in the
Walnut Island. He argued that using a phased in approach treated the Walnut Island residents
exactly the same as other Tigard residents but using an LID approach to install sewer to the
whole area at once gave the Walnut Island residents a preference over long time taxpayers in the
city. He asked for extensive discussion of an LID approach before suggesting it as an option.
He reiterated his concern that they treat the Walnut Island residents exactly the same as their
current citizens. Mr. Duenas commented that, with the reimbursement district, the City had a
limited amount of funds available but any citizen could create an LID and pay the full cost of
the improvements.
9. CONSIDER NOMINATION OF REID IFORD TO THE TUALATIN VALLEY
COMMUNITY ACCESS BOARD
Mr. Monahan explained that the TVCA Board increased its size county-wide and asked for
nominations from the jurisdictions. He said that Mayor Nicoli recommended asking Reid Idford
if he was interested. He reported that Mr. Idford indicated his interest in the position.
Reid Idford described his background in working with cable access companies over the past 10
years in three counties. He mentioned his training and background as a print journalist
(newspaper reporter and community newspaper editor). He discussed the importance of cable
access in providing citizens with the ability to reach large numbers of people in their community
in a changing communications environment. He pointed out that the news industry was now
controlled by less than half a dozen corporations. He spoke to cable access as preserving the
citizens' right to free speech. He emphasized his commitment to the medium of cable access
and to making it accessible to the community and local governments.
Motion by Councilor Scheckla, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to forward the nomination of
Reid Idford to the TVCA Board.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Patton and Scheckla voted "yes.") [5-0]
10. WITH CENTURY WEST ENGINEERING CORPORATION FOR GAARDE STREET
IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 1
STAFF REPORT
Mr. Duenas explained that staff split the Gaarde Street design project into two parts: Quail
Hollow west up to Walnut Street and Hwy 99W to SW 121". He said that the bid for the first
part went to the Tryland Corporation. He discussed the choice facing staff on how to handle the
right-of-way acquisition portion of the project: acquiring the right-of-way using in-house staff
or acquiring the right-of-way using the prime design consultant. He explained that their
experience with coordination problems between the design consultant and the right-of-way
agent on the Walnut/Tiedeman project led staff to recommend making the design consultant for
the Gaarde project the City's right-of-way agent.
Mr. Duenas asked the Council to approve a contract amendment authorizing the design
consultant to acquire right-of-way for the City. He pointed out that doing this in-house
detracted from other staff projects. He commented that by using the design consultant as the
right-of-way agent they could hold the consultant accountable for whatever happened.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1999 - PAGE 13
COUNCIL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION
Councilor Hunt mentioned discussions in the past with respect to needing more lanes in the
future and acquiring right-of-way for future development. He asked what staff was doing with
respect to that situation. Mr. Duenas said that staff was acquiring sufficient right-of-way to
allow expansion of the Walnut/Gaarde street intersection to a five lane facility (including the left
and right turn lanes) but not sufficient right-of-way to expand either Walnut or Gaarde Streets to
five lane facilities. He referenced the projections in the Transportation System Plan indicating
that they would need a maximum of three lanes for those major collectors.
The Council discussed what they had talked about in the past with respect to Walnut and Gaarde
Streets. Councilors Moore and Patton each indicated that he/she remembered discussing a five
lane section at the intersection but not five lane roads. Mayor Nicoli mentioned that he
remembered seeing three plans. Mr. Duenas indicated that staff returned to the consultant with
the plan chosen by Council.
Councilor Scheckla asked for clarification on the dollar amounts listed. Mr. Duenas explained
that the total amount of both contracts, following the amendment, was $284,471. He noted that
this left a balance of $365,529 in the $650,000 budgeted for the project. He confirmed that in
the next fiscal year staff planned to use the money for right-of-way acquisition for Phase 2 (SW
121st to 99W) and to construct Phase 1 (Quail Hollow) using TIF funding. He indicated that,
once they identified how much right-of-way they needed to acquire for Phase 2, they might need
to request more funds. He mentioned funding construction of Phase 2 through the transportation
bond.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Patton, moved to approve the contract
amendments as recommended.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Patton and Scheckla voted "yes.") [5-0]
11. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS: None.
12. NON AGENDA ITEMS
Councilor Moore invited all Tigard citizens to a Transportation Bond Task Force Open
House on October 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Water Building. He indicated that this was an
opportunity for the citizens to review the proposed list of bond projects and to provide input
to the Task Force. Mr. Duenas mentioned the graphics staff was working on to illustrate the
Task Force's goals and proposed projects. Councilor Patton commented that the proposed
list included street, sidewalk, street lighting and bike path projects.
The Council discussed Councilor Scheckla's concern to provide adequate parking. Mr.
Duenas indicated that the entire Water Building and Niche parking lots would be available,
as well as the City Hall parking lot across the street.
Mr. Monahan announced that the Council canceled its normally scheduled October 26
meeting.

City Council
City of Tigard
I am writing this letter to inform you I will be at the Council meeting on October 12, 1999 to try
and get some answers as to why you turned your back on the two residences in the 69th street
L11D.
We are the only two residential properties on 69th Avenue that have no way to recover our cast
like the commercial developments that occupy the rest of the properties in the LID. A. $50,000
street assessment for two 8500 sq. ft. lots will be a financial burden that we will not be able to
overcome at our age. I was shocked the City Council turned their backs on us and treated us the
way they did. I believe when the people in the City of Tigard elected the Council, they expected
your job was to protect them from unfair treatment whether it be a group of residences dumping
on a business or businesses dumping on residences.
I am not unreasonable as I realize that building 69th avenue will increase the vvaal e of
he LID of
property but Elmhurst, Franklin and Beveland Streets will add approx. $600,
which the city paid are 3 blocks and will receive the most benefit.That should not be an
away.They are only streets that he developers and City
expense to residences es that that
needs to funnel traffic out of the area and have no value to us whatsoever.
I feel 515,000 for each residence will more than pay for our part of the 69th street improvement
and the city should make up the rest of our cost for the cross streets. We pay taxes for this type
of expense and should not be taxed again when there is no value to us or our property.. I know
you have never assessed a 8500 sq. ft residential lot with 85 ft. of street frontage $30,000 for
street improvements and never will again.
I feel like we have been knocked down by the developer and instead of being helped up by the
City Council you kicked us while we were down. 1 was always taught the government was by the
people and for the people instead of by the people and for the developers. The ironic part is, from
what I have found out, the developers were shocked you did nothing for us. They expected some
of our cost to be added to there's. Tyou r would made some kind of e5ort to help us there would
probably been very little feedback
Another example of unfair treatment is the taking of half the entrance to my driveway and taking
out the roots of a large birch tree in my front yard. When €~a1fMwlin D driveway be muse he dewall I
was going have to give up a corner of my property Y
was going to change from curb on Elmhurst St. to property line on 69th and there was no way it
could be moved to the curb on 69th. If I didn't sign it over the city would just take it at an
appraised value. He agreed to pave my drive so I signed thinking I had no other choice. Now 1
find out the sidewalk is moving to the curb as soon as it gets past our properties and comes to you
appro Landmark Fords property on the same vler e half should have been informed
entrance to my driveway, I'm stuck ~h
this LID that it was going to take out o my e
.
TRANSMITTED FROM
10.08.99 14:55 P.03 *
a driveway I have to make a sharp bend when i back out of my garage and a birch tree that will
probably die or worst yet fall on my house because of all the roots that was out within 3 feet of
tha +,rvnk on the sidewalk side. The sidewalk could have been moved to the curb on our frontage
and none of this would have had to happen..
I'm a lot smarter now than when this started and if this stands the way it is I'm going to make sure
the Citizens of Tigard know what to watch out for if this is about to happen to them. I owe therm
that much because I feel really used. If there had been more than two of us on 69th the cross
street assessment would never have happened.
If you think we have been treated fairly I would like someone to explain how this was justified at
the Tuesday Council Meeting.
Sincerely,
Cecil and Donna Jones

Dear Mayor Nicoli,
Hopefully your office has already received information regarding the Mayor's Campaign
against breast cancer sponsored by the American Cancer Society and the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention. The Washington County Breast and Cervical Cancer
Screening Program is the local contact for this effort and we would like to see your city
participate in this event. Therefore, wP are sending you this letter to let you know we are
interested in working with you and to give you some tools for participation.
I am enclosing a Fact Sheet regarding breast cancer in Oregon and in Washington
County. This fact sheet lists contacts for further information about activities and services
in Washington County. There are many different perspectives in our county: those of
breast cancer survivors, health care providers and community members who have
received free screening services. I am also including a sample proclamation of your
participation in the Campaign. Finally, I am including an article that can be printed in
your city newsletter.
We are interested in supporting whatever involvement you wish to have in this year's
campaign. The goal of campaign is to raise community awareness regarding the
seriousness of breast cancer and the hope that early detection offers. Therefore, any effort
that can have a broad scope and potentially have media coverage is most effective. If you
have any questions or would like to collaborate with us in any way, please call me at
503/846-4965.
Jlnccrely,

We invite you to Take the Challenge and join others in your community to
celebrate National Breasil, Cancer Awareness Month in October. In 1997, the US
Conference of Mayors f irst began its Mayors Campaign Against Breast Cancer, to
promote early detection activities in local communities (see enclosed newsletter,
The Breast Cancer Information Exchange, October 1998). Nationally, the
American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are
supporters and sponsors of this campaign.
In Oregon this year, we are taking a new initiative. We are inviting all mayors, in
cities and towns large and small, to Take the Challenge and connect with individuals
in their communities on this very important health issue. We hope this provides
you're an opportunity to connect with individuals who are involved in early detection
education and screening activities in your community. Please complete and fax the
enclosed commitment form.
How can you rake the Challenge in your community? Here are just a few suggestions:
❖ Take a Reach to Recovery volunteer to lunch (great photo opportunity, too!);
❖ Plant a tree or bulbs (vreferabiv with pink blossomsl in hnnnr
4. Visit a mammography facility on National Mammography Day, October 15th;
❖ Invite breast cancer survivors to your office for coffee or tea;
Visit a local health clinic that provides Women's Health Checks through the
local breast and cervical cancer program.

Breast Cancer Facts in Oreeon
® In 1997, there were over 3,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in Oregon.
- This means that nearly 60 women each week learn that they have breast cancer.
- 360 of these women lived in Washington County
® In 1997, 484 women in Oregon died of breast cancer.
- This means that almost 10 women die of breast cancer each week
- This is actually GOOD NEWS - although the cases of breast cancer have increased
significantly, deaths have gone down slightly - early detection saves lives!!
® 4 out of 5 wornen diagnosed with breast cancer have no history of breast cancer in
their family.
® The two greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and getting older.
w When breast cancer is found in its early stages, women have a 97% chance of
surviving 20 years or more.
o Early detection saves lives. All women should practice the three steps to early
detection: Self breast exam, clinical breast exam, and regular mammograms.

Breast Cancer Awareness - More important than ever.
As a society we are inundated with health messages on a daily basis. We know what to
eat and what not to eat. We know we should exercise regularly. We know at what age
we should be screened for different health conditions. It is easy for people to become
numb to all of the things that we need to be aware of to be "healthy". Many of us know
personally that although we know what we should do, it doesn't mean we always do it!
This social reality combined with recent advances in healthcare technology, may make
some people think that we no longer need to raise awareness around such issues as breast
cancer. We disagree.
Every week in Oregon over 60 women are told that they have breast cancer. Every week
in Oregon 10 women die of breast cancer. In 1997, 360 Washington County residents
were diagnosed with breast cancer and we lost approximately 50 women to this disease.
Awareness is only the first step on the road of action - we have not reached the end of that
road.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which gives us a chance to reflect on the
tremendous strides that have been made in terms of awareness and treatment. There are
many new medicines and treatments available for women who are diagnosed with breast
cancer. The earlier women are diagnosed the more effective these treatments are. New
studies are being done that may lead to treatment in women who have not been diagnosed
with breast cancer but are at extremely high risk for developing the disease. There is
much hope for a cure for breast cancer.
While these medical advances are wonderful, we must not forget the life-saving benefits
of early detection. Recent studies indicate that women who have regular mammograms
and are diagnosed with breast cancer in it's earliest stages have more than a 97% chance
of survival for 20 years after diagnosis. As cancer spreads throughout the body, the
chances for long term survival are lower. Early detection is more important than ever
because it allows technological advances to be as effective as possible. Early detection is
composed of three simple steps: monthly breast self exams, yearly clinical breast exams
and regular mammograms over the age of 40.
This October there are many things that YOU can do to help breast cancer awareness:
Go to the Library! The Washington County Cooperative Library System has
several b~~1:~ al~.nwt hrPaa heal±h. Vn„ (.an also check out their website for a
reading list. You will receive a breast cancer awareness bookmark with any
books that you check out during the month of October.
Talk to the women you love. Many women respond positively when their
families, partners or friends express interest in their well-being. Regular
screenings for cancer can be very scary and support from loved ones is often what
gives women the courage to take care of themselves. Encourage the women you
care about to get regular women's health exams. If you know women over 40
years of age who don't have health insurance, have them call BCCP at 846-2814
to see if the qualify for free screening services.
Wear a pink ribbon. The Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program (BCCP)
in Washington County will be distributing pink ribbons throughout the county -
please call us at 846-2815 to request ribbons.
If you are a woman schedule your appointment for an annual exam today! !

Dear Councilor Patton:
`'"1
P&Av s u d mpa-41D
Gcw atu-,A,y
i9a pxbtt~
I am writing on behalf of the 79`h Avenue Citizen Action Group to follow up on
our last telephone conversation. I have not received a response to our request that the
City Council provide a binding commitment that a Local Improvement District (LID) will
not be formed to finance 79`h Avenue reconstruction.
At the August 17, 1999, City Council meeting the City Council stated that the
City of Tigard would not use an LID to finance the 790, Avenue project. You reiterated
that position at the August 18 Transportation Bond Task Force meeting and in subsequent
conversations with me. We are pleased about that and appreciate the City Council's
flexibility on this point.
As you and I have discussed, however, this City Council's rejection of the LID is
not binding on future City Councils or the city administration. We also understand that a
LID would not be formed until construction of the project is completed. Therefore, in the
event that 79th Avenue is included on the road bond and not completed for a few years,
another City Council could impose a LID on the neighborhood despite your statements to
us. This concern is underscored by two things: (1) Transportation Bond Task Force
documents have not been changed to state that the road bond will cover the entire cost of
the project; and (2) the City of Tigard appears to have a current contract with Century
West Engineering to perform LID studies on 79th Avenue.
In order to address this problem, I proposed to you that the City Council provide
some form of a binding commitment that no LID will be formed - now or in the future -
to pay for 791h Avenue reconstruction. I proposed two options, but we are open to other
ways of satisfying this requirement. First, I proposed that the City of Tigard nullify the
non-remonstrance agreements applicable to 79`h Avenue. Second, I proposed including
I
specific language in the road bond measure itself that in no event would a LID be formed
to pay any of the costs of 79th Avenue reconstruction.
Our request for a commitment concerning the LID in no way indicates that the
791h Avenue neighbors support the reconstruction designs currently favored by the city
engineering department. Based on our previous polls of the neighborhood, I suspect that
the neighborhood remains opposed to those designs.
In any event, you have asked the 79 h Avenue Citizen Action Group to poll the
79`h Avenue neighborhood on the City's latest design proposal. Given that the design
standard has not changed materially since this organization formed in May 1999 to
oppose it, we believe that it would not be worthwhile to conduct further polling at least
until we receive the written commitment discussed above. In the event that we receive
such a commitment, we can complete a neighborhood poll within one week. In the event
that we do not, then the neighborhood can provide feedback to the City Council through
public comment to the Transportation Bond 'task Force, voting on that bond measure and
other available political avenues.
The 791h Avenue Citizen Action Group Executive Committee greatly appreciates
your thoughtfulness and hard work on this issue. We look forward to continuing our
work with you.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Preston

COUNCIL AGENDA. ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Adoption of Oregon Structural eciai uoae H nay % Lcr OCULLUii 7 L-
PREPARED BY: Bob Poskin DEPT HEAD OK MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
Should Council adopt Oregon Structural Specialty Code, Appendix Chapter 9, Section 914?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Fire is the third leading cause of accidental death in residential buildings in the United States with at least 80 percent of all
fire deaths occurring in residential buildings, therefore, staff recommends approval of this ordinance.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue worked on this change in the code over a four-year period. During this time, Tualatin Valley
met with local and national jurisdictions enlisting their requirements and importance of providing enhanced fire protection in
high occupant residential buildings. The result of these inquiries and the subsequent change to our code is consistent with
guidelines in other cities our size across the nation.
The Cities of Portland and Hillsboro are outside of Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue jurisdiction, however, they are
currently reviewing Section 914, and with modifications to fit their specific need, will in the near future adopt this
provision. The City of Beaverton is currently in discussions with Tualatin Valley, and may adopt in the near future.
The provisions of this section will affect proposed construction as follows:
(a) All new construction containing 16 or more dwelling units.
(b) Additions, where the addition is a separate building, or where the addition utilizes an area separation wall and
contains 16 or more dwelling units.
(c) Tenant improvements where there is a change of use moving the building into an R-1 occupancy and where there are
16 or more dwelling units.
(d) Hotels and Motels three or more stories in height containing 20 or more guestrooms.
Cost to developers will be approximately ($1.68) per square foot.
Under the current OSSC language, automatic sprinkler systems are required throughout apartment buildings three or more
stories in height or containing .16 or more dwelling units, every congregate residence three or more stories in height or
having an occupant load of 20 or more, and in every hotel three or more stories in height containing 20 or more guest
rooms.
Under the provisions of Appendix Chapter 9, section 914, Group "R"1 occupancies shall require a sprinkler system be
installed throughout every apartment house and every congregate residence classified as a Group "R" Division 1
occupancy. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout every hotel three or more stories in height
containing 20 or more guestrooms classified as Group "R" 1 occupancies. There is an exception, which states that
automatic sprinklers are not required in apartments or congregate residence buildings that are one story in height and not
containing a basement or mezzanine. Such buildings shall contain not more than 16 dwelling units in apartment buildings
and shall not have an occupant load more than 20 in congregate residence buildings.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not adopt the change and continue to enforce current provisions in the Oregon Structural Specialty Code.

EXCERPT FROM 1997 OREGON REVISED STATUTES
455.020 Purpose; scope of application. (1) This chapter is enacted to enable the Director ofthe
Department of Consumer and Business Services to promulgate a state building code to govern the
construction, reconstruction, alteration and repair of buildings and other structures and the installation
of mechanical devices and equipment therein, and to require the correction of unsafe conditions
caused by earthquakes in existing buildings. The state building code shall establish uniform
performance standards providing reasonable safeguards for health, safety, welfare, comfort and
security of the residents of this state who are occupants and users of buildings, and will provide for
the use of modern methods, devices, materials, techniques and practicable maximum energy
conservation.
(2) The regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter shall include structural standards; standards for
the installation and use of mechanical, heating and ventilating devices and equipment; and standards
for prefabricated structures; and shall, subject to ORS 455.210 (1) to (5), prescribe reasonable fees for
the issuance of building permits and similar documents, inspections and plan review services by the
Department of Consumer and Business Services.
(3) This chapter does not affect the statutory jurisdiction and authority of the Workers' Compensation
Board, under ORS chapter 654, to promulgate occupational safety and health standards relating to
places of employment, and to administer and enforce all state laws, regulations, rules, standards and
lawful orders requiring places of employment to be safe and healthful.
(4) This chapter and any specialty code does not limit the authority of a municipality to enact
regulations providing for local administration of the state building code; local appeal boards; fees and
other charges; abatement of nuisances and dangerous buildings; enforcement through penalties, stop-
work orders or other means; or minimum health, sanitation and safety standards for goveming the use
of structures for housing, except where the power of municipalities to enact any such regulations is
expressly withheld by statute. Pursuant to the regulation of dangerous buildings, a municipality may
adopt seismic rehabilitation plans that provide for phased completion of repairs that are designed to
provide improved life safety but that may be less than the standards for new buildings. [Formerly
456.755; 1991 c.227 s.2; 1991 c.310 s.2; 1995 c.304 s.1; 1995 c.400 s.5]
EXCERPT FROM 1997 OREGON REVISED STATUTES
455.153 Municipality authority to administer specialty code or building requirements; effect on
juresdiction of agencies. (1) A municipality may administer any specialty code or building
requirements as though the code or requirements were ordinances of the municipality if the
municipality is authorized to administer:
(a) The specialty code under ORS chapter 447 or 455 or ORS 479.510 to 479.945.
(b) Mobile or manufactured dwelling parks requirements adopted under ORS 446.062.
(c) Temporary parks requirements adopted under ORS 446.105.
(d) Manufactured dwelling installation, support and tiedown requirements adopted under ORS
446.230.
(e) Park or camp requirements adopted under ORS 455.680.
(2) Administration of any specialty code or building requirement includes all administrative and
judicial aspects of enforcement of the code or requirement. Nothing in this section affects the
concurrent jurisdiction of the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, the
Building Codes Structures Board, the State Plumbing Board, the Manufactured Structures and Parks
Advisory Board, or the Electrical and Elevator Board to impose civil penalties for violations
committed within municipalities. [1995 c.190 s.2]
Note: 455.153 was added to and made a part of ORS chapter 455 by legislative action but was not
added to any smaller series therein. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.

AGENDA ITEM # 1
FOR AGENDA OF 10/12/99
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Photo Radar
PREPARED BY: Ron Goodvaster DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK w
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
T -he purpose of'Uhis agenda iiern is to receive Council adthoritiy to research photo radar anal to put together an
implementation plan for its use in the City of Tigard. We would then be coming back to the Council for
approval of its use and for the approval of the contract with the selected vendor.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approval.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Although photo radar has been used in other parts of the United States for several years, its use became legal in
Oregon in 1995. Initially the legislature only authorized the cities of Portland and Beaverton to use the
technology. The 1997 Legislative Session added no additional cities, and it wasn't until the 1999 Session that
its use was extended to Tigard and four other Oregon cities. In 1996, a Tigard Citizens Traffic Calming
Committee recommended the use of photo radar to reduce speeds on neighborhood streets in the City of Tigard.
The 1999 Legislative Session also approved the use of photo red light in Tigard and five other Oregon cities.
We intend on coming back to the Council for approval to research its use in Tigard, after photo radar has been
implemented.
If the approvals are received, it may be 5 to 7 months before photo radar is implemented and another 4 to 6
months to implement photo red light.
Photo radar reduces speeding and accidents and increases neighborhood liveability. In the following cities that
use photo radar, speeds were reduced significantly. In Portland, the percentage of vehicles exceeding the posted
speed by 10 miles per hour was reduced 27% where photo radar. was used and increased 12% in areas where it
wasn't used. In Beaverton, the percentage of drivers exceeding the posted speed of 30 miles an hour declined
28% where it was used and increased by 16% on streets where it wasn't. Studies from other cities that use
photo radar also reflect these types of reductions in speed.
The photo radar taw is very specific aboui how, where, and when photo radar car, be used and specifies the
procedures as to how radar citations can be issued and challenged.
The cost to implement photo radar may include an additional court clerk, computer programming and additional
work space. The vendor we contract with receives their money from a percentage of the fines collected. The
research to be conducted, with the Council's approval, would specifically identify the City's cost for start up.
After a request for proposal and bid process, we would identify a vendor to provide the service and ask for
Council to approve their contract with us.
One of the more important aspects of using photo radar is the public education and awareness of its use and the
continuing efforts to keep the public informed. This part we take as being extremely important and plan on
using a variety of means to inform the public. We have already spent time with the City of Portland and the
City of Beaverton researching their use of photo radar and are prepared to conduct the more indepth and
significant research with the Council's approval.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Not to approve this request.
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
Under the City's Visioning Plan, Goal #1, under Traffic and Transportation is the lowering of neighborhood
speeds. This technology would specifically address that concern.
FISCAL NOTES
To be determined during the research analysis phase.

PHOTO P%ADAR
Q. Why do we need
photo radar?
A. The number one traffic complaint
among neighborhood residents is
speeding. Why are residents so
concerned? Because speeding cars
threaten the safetv of our children
and compromise the livability of our
neighborhoods.
Q. What is photo radar?
A. Photo radar is simply another way to
enforce speed laws. It is operated
out of a marked police van by a
trained Police Officer. Photo radar
combines a camera, radar and a
reader board that displays the speed
of each passing vehicle. If a speed-
ing car is detected, a picture is taken
of the driver and license plate. The
registered owner then gets a ticket in
the mail.
Q. Where will photo radar
be used?
A. By law, photo radar can be used on
any street or roadway within the City
if the governing body makes a
finding that speeding has had a
negative impact on traffic safety in
those areas.
Q. What do 1 do if 1 get a
ticket?
A. A photo radar ticket is no different
from any other speeding ticket. You
can pay the fine or appear in court.
Q. What if 1 was not driving
my car?
A. If you are the registered owner of the
car, and someone else was driving
your car, you may sign a Certificate
of Innocence and mail it along with a
legible photocopy of your driver's
license. The ticket will be dismissed
and the negative and any existing
picture will be destroyed.
Q. What if the citation is
issued to my business or
public agency?
A. Oregon Law authorizes the citation
issued to your business or public
agency to be dismissed if you
complete the Affidavit of Non-
Liability identifying the driver. The
citation may then be issued to the
driver.
Q. If 1 have a question
about speeding or photo
radae, who do I call?
A. Photo radar questions will be an-
swered by City of Tigard personnel
at (503) 639-6168.
Q. What if I have questions
regarding my court elate
anal/or payments?
A. Read the back of the citation, then if
you still have questions, call the
Tigard Municipal Court at
(503) 639-4171 x380.

Progress report on the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That City Council direct staff to:
1.Continue the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program and offer it as annexation occurs; and,
2. Extend the Incentive Program an additionahWoyears.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program has proven to be very successful. Since the program's inception
in 1996, the program has provided sewer service to 116 of the 662 unserved residential lots within the City. A
detailed progress report is attached.
QTH R ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
Growth and Growth Management Goal #2. Strategy: Adopt a plan for the orderly annexation of Walnut Island.
Action Plan: Create a plan to evaluate and provide necessary infrastructure.
FISCAL NOTES
$500,000 is set aside from the unrestricted Sanitary Sewer Fund each year for these projects. The payments by
owners for the fair share of the sewer extension cost are deposited back into the fund for future projects.

Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program
Status Update
October 6, 1999
Background - The formation of a Local Improvement District (LID) for the installation
sanitary sewer to serve an extensive area is the method typically used to provide those
improvements. However, the LID method is usually not practical for the many small
unsewered areas throughout the City, because of the extensive process that must be
followed leading to high administrative costs. In 1996, the Tigard City Council created
the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program to construct these sewer extensions using
the Reimbursement District concept provided in Tigard Municipal Code 13.09. In this
program, the City installs public sewers to each lot within the Reimbursement District
and the owners reimburse the City for a fair share of the cost of the public sewer at the
time of connection to the sewer. In addition, each owner is required to pay a connection
fee (currently $2,335) before connecting to the line. Furthermore, each owner would be
responsible for disconnecting the existing septic system according to County rules and for
any other plumbing modifications necessary to connect to the public line. The program
was initiated in May 1996 by mailing notice of the program to owners within unsewered
portions the City. This was followed by presentations at Citizen Involvement Team
meetings and an article in Cityscape.
Procedure - A reimbursement district is usually initiated by an owner requesting
service. City staff would request the owner to ask each of the other owners that could be
served by the sewer if they support the project. If at least half of the owners support the
project, staff would request City Council to conduct an informational public hearing, then
establish a district if the hearing indicates support for the district. Upon approval of the
district, staff would prepare a design for the sewer and hire a contractor to construct it.
Once the construction is complete and final costs are determined, City Council would be
requested to conduct a final hearing and accept the project. Upon acceptance, owners
may connect to the sewer. Residents who do not connect to the sewer extension during
the fifteen-year period after sewer is made available can connect anytime after that period
without paying for the sewer extension costs. The connection fee and owner-related costs
would still be in effect.
Accomplishments to Date - Prior to the initiation of the sewer extension program, the
number of developed residential lots in the City without sewer service stood at 662. The
first project included the installation of four sewer services on Tigard Street followed by
a second project providing twenty-eight services in the Fairhaven Street area. Since then,
City Council has approved six other projects. Since the program's inception, the City has
extended the sewer network to make sewer service available for a total of 116 lots. Some
of the projects are currently under construction and should be completed during the next
two months. Connections to the system should greatly increase following completion of
ongoing construction work. The 116 sewer service additions would (upon completion)
reduce the number of residential lots within the City without sewer service from 662
to 546.
The following is the current status of the Reimbursement Districts under this program:

To help promote the program, City Council established the Neighborhood Sewer
Reimbursement District Incentive Program on October 13, 1998. Since the intent of the
Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program is to have residents connect to the City's sewer
system, the City Council was willing to subsidize the residents that connect to the system
within a relatively short period of time. The incentive program limited the amount any
owner would be required to pay for a share of the public sewer to $8,000 up to a
maximum of $15,000 if the connection is completed within one year from when sewer
service is first available. Any amount over the $15,000 would be the individual owner's
responsibility. The incentive program applies to sewer connections provided through
reimbursement districts established by October 12, 2000.
Walnut Island. Annexation and Sewers - The process for annexation of Walnut Island
and ancillary islands is well underway. The extension of sewer service into these areas is
expected to cost approximately $4 million dollars. The use of the Neighborhood Sewer
Extension Program would be possible only if the projects could be phased over the next
10 to 20 year period. The method of choice to provide sewer to the entire area within the
next few years is still the formation of a Local Improvement District.
Summary - The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program has been an extremely
successful program since its inception in 1996. There has been sufficient interest from
Tigard residents Citywide for continuation of this program indefinitely. The incentive
program is now in place and serves as encouragement to the residents for prompt
connection to the City's sewer system. Staff recommends to City Council that the
Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program be continued for at least the next five years, and
that the Incentive Program be renewed for a three-year period following its expiration in
October 2000.

Dear friends,
We presently need to expand our board, and believe it is most appropriate for the
Metropolitan Area Communications Commission (MACC) jurisdictions to contribute to
this process. We are asking that you do so by nominating directors for TVCA.
We are looking for people respected for their knowledge or expertise and who have a
TVCA CHANNELS
passion for community development. All TVCA directors need not have a technical
-Tualatin Valley
background; our desire is for diversity and depth of knowledge a::ut local interests. Our
Washington County
goal is to compose a representative, dynamic working group.
on Access
We envision that your nominee will connect us to your jurisdiction or to a segment of
43(5
Washington County whose voice you believe should be heard within TVCA. Board
Public Access
members are not expected to formally represent their jurisdiction, but to participate in a
O 33
countywide effort to assure that TVCA reaches its entire service area.

present directors, including their geographic and work-related information to help you
see any gaps your nominee might fill. To assure continuity, these appointees initially will
serve for a term of one, two or three years, with a second term renewable for three
additional years at the member's and the Board's pleasure.

sure that our citizens have a media voice.
It is a great pleasure for me and for TVCA to serve your community. Patricia Dair, our Executive
Director, will contact you in the near future to see if there is any more information we should provide for
you to be able to act on our request. You also may contact her directly at 629-8534, Extension 105.

AGENDA ITEM #
FOR AGENDA OF Oct I2. 1999
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Right=of-Way Acouisition~ig
PREPARED BY: Vannie Nsuveen DE T HEAD OK :
III1L!1 V V 011101RJ - 1 11OJ A
MGR OK: Bil nahan
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the Local Contract Review Board approve the contract amendment to add right-of-way acquisition
services for the improvements on Gaarde Street - Phase 1 (from Walnut Street to the northerly boundary
of the Quail Hollow subdivision)?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends the Local Contract Review Board, by motion, approve the contract amendment to
the consultant contract with Century West Engineering Corporation in the amount of $25;350.00.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The existing Gaarde Street is a Major Collector that runs in an easterly direction and provides connection
between 121st Avenue and Highway 99W. Significant portions of the street are substandard in width and
the sight distances at several locations are inconsistent with the requirements for a Major Collector.
Gaarde Street has been extended northwesterly from its intersection with 121st Avenue to the northerly
boundary of the Subdivision Plat of Eagle Point subdivision and will be further extended to the northerly
boundary of the Quail Hollow subdivision. A new street is proposed for construction from Walnut Street
to the Quail Hollow subdivision to complete the last leg of the Gaarde Street extension and to provide a
direct west-east connection between Walnut Street and Highway 99W. The existing segment of Gaarde
Street is proposed for widening and for reconstruction to its ultimate section.
In the Council meeting on May 25, 1999, the Local Contract Review Board approved two contract awards
to two consultants to provide engineering design services for the project. The limit of work for the
consultants was divided as follows:
Phase I (from Walnut Street to the northerly boundary of the Quail Hollow subdivision): Century
West Engineering Corp.
Phase II (from 12151 Avenue to Highway 99W): TriLand Design Group, Inc.
There are eight parcels impacted by the Gaarde Street - Phase I project: Four parcels will have strip taking
of right-of--way along the property frontage. Three parcels will be minor property takings along the
frontage access driveways to "flag' lots. One parcel will require a consent to use of easement over an
access easement granted by an adjacent property.
The right-of-way acquisition service proposed by Century West includes project management and
administration, appraisal, acquisition and assistance with the condemnation process if necessary. The staff
believes that Century West has the capabilities, qualifications and resources to perform the required
services.
The right-of-way acquisition service can be contracted independently to a right-of-way consultant firm.
However, coordination between two consultants has been a problem in the past. It would be more efficient
if the same engineering firm is held responsible for both the design and land acquisition to ensure that
conditions of purchase are reflected in the design drawings.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
The staff could contract independently with a right-of-way consultant firm to provide the acquisition
services.
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
This project meets the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow Transportation and Traffic Goals of "Improve traffic
safety" and "Provide additional point of connectivity".
FISCAL NOTES
This project was funded in the amount of $650,000 in the FY 1999-00 Recommended Traffic Impact Fee
for design and right-of-way acquisition. This amendment would increase the original contract of $107,299
to $135,649. A contract with Triland Corporation is also funded from this account in the amount of
$148,822. The total amount of both contracts would be $284,471 after the amendment is executed. The
balance of $365,529 would be reserved for any further amendments that may be required to either
contract, and for some of the land acquisition that may be identified as a result of the design projects.
