ballot measure, and a petition received from the Hill Street neighbors. Council President Moore
mentioned requesting recognition of Brice Ellison.
2. ANNUAL JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND LIBRARY BOARD
Margaret Barnes, Library Director, introduced the Library Board members. David Chapman
expressed the Board's appreciation of the Council's positive steps towards obtaining expanded
library facilities for the citizens, mentioning the $400,000 set aside in the budget for the new
facility.
Mr. Chapman reviewed the five main service response areas for the library, identified in the five-
year plan (expected completion date Fall 2000): general information, information literacy, current
topics, lifelong learning, and business and career information. He described the work done to
establish a non-profit Library Foundation for Tigard for the purposes of fundraising for the new
facility and strengthening the public awareness of the library. He recommended personally that the
Foundation not become part of the Tigard Area Community Foundation in order to retain control
over its expenditures.
Jane Smith reviewed the adult programs provided at the Library, discussing literary programs,
practical workshops, Library electronic resources classes, an adult reading program, a monthly book
discussion group, and Book Nights (library staff thumbnail book talks). She mentioned the need for
more space at the library for the adult programs, noting the use of the Water Building for the large
events.
Sue Kasson reviewed the elements in the Electronic Resource Center, noting the 15 stations and the
statistics indicating a marked increase in their use since last year. She observed that the staff did not
have the time to enforce the time sign up sheets, although software existed to help with that
situation. She mentioned the Cyber Patrol software on the children's computer, the ADA machine
for the visually impaired, the self-checkout machine, and the color copier.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 20, 2000 - PAGE 1
Nancy Irwin reviewed the children's programs, mentioning the variety of programs the Library
sponsored for the entertainment and education of children (infants to post- high school teens) from
performing artists for all ages to pre-school craft and story times to teen book clubs, movie nights,
and campouts at the library. She spoke of baby kits for new mothers, new sibling kits, and early
childhood theme bags promoting a love of reading (funded by a Ready to Read grant). She
described the Library's outreach to the children who could not get to the library, citing the onsite
resources at Villa La Paz. She mentioned the wealth of information on colleges and careers
available for the post-high school teens.
Ann Braun reviewed the County-wide Summer Reading Program, "Tickets to Tomorrow." She
referenced the County's flyer listing the schedule of activities and the Tigard Library flyer. She
described the different activities and rewards for the up-to-fifth-grade section and the sixth-grade-
and-up section.
George Burgess gave the Council an update on the Library Expansion Committee. He mentioned
that the Friends provided the funding for many library programs, such as the adult reading program
and the baby kits. He presented a request from the Committee that the Council consider changing
its name from the Library Expansion Committee to the Library Construction Committee to more
accurately reflect its purpose. He asked the Council to consider increasing the size of the committee
to involve more citizens. He described the work of the committee in meeting with the consultants
and architect. He mentioned the consultants' recommendation of a 20-year building size of 44,000
square feet.
Larry Beck discussed the importance of a vital, working library to the Tigard community, citing the
high usage of the library by Tigard citizens. He described libraries as the heart of a community. He
thanked the Council for its support and partnering in building a new library for the City of Tigard.
Councilor Hunt asked if the Foundation would use the principal, the interest or both. Mr. Chapman
said that, while an endowment fund using only the interest off the principal would be valuable, their
current focus was on raising funds for the new facility.
Councilor Hunt asked if there was an advantage to holding programs at the Water Building or
would it be better to hold them at a larger facility (given the overflow crowds). Mr. Chapman
commented that ideally they would like to hold the programs at the library in order to encourage
families to check out books, thus increasing the circulation on which the library's funding was
based.
Mr. Monahan indicated to Councilor Scheckla that they could draw committee members from
outside the Tigard city limits, as the library service area went beyond the city limits.
The Council agreed by consensus to direct staff to prepare a resolution that would allow the
committee to suggest a name and to recommend adding a certain number of people. Mr. Monahan
mentioned using the Cityscape and Library resources to advertise for interested people. Council
President Moore asked for a description of the kind of people the Committee was looking for.
Mr. Chapman indicated to Councilor Hunt that the Committee has not thrown out any options at this
time; they would look at the option to build a shell and complete the building in phases.
Councilor Hunt suggested that the Library Board produce a video describing the library programs,
as it did tonight, for cablecast after the election. Councilor Scheckla suggested getting the Tigard
Times and the Oregonian: to do articles on the Library programs.
Councilor Patton noted that, although she was the Council's representative on the Committee, she
has been unable to attend the daytime meetings. She indicated her continued interest in the
Committee's work and asked if an evening meeting was possible. Mr. Monahan said that he and
Ms. Barnes would discuss moving the meeting time at their next meeting.
Ms. Barnes indicated to Councilor Scheckla that the pattern of attendance at library programs
showed a combination of returning and new people. She said that the adult reading program age
was 18 years old and up.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 20, 2000 - PAGE 2
Council President Moore commended the Library Board on their excellent presentation. The
Library Board left the meeting.
Council President Moore recessed the meeting for a break at 7:20 p.m. He reconvened the meeting
at 7:22 p.m.
3. REVIEW OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE (HOUSING CODE)
Albert Shields, Housing Inspector, gave the PowerPoint staff presentation of the one-year review
of the implementation of the Housing Code. He reported that the feedback staff has received from
landlords and tenants-rights organizations indicated that the Code achieved a good balance of
addressing concerns without taking either a hostile or a passive stance. He characterized the
Council direction of "enforcement friendly implementation" as one of the strongest assets of the
program. He mentioned his location within the Building Division as another asset, given the many
cases of overlapping responsibilities between the Housing Code and the Building Code.
Mr. Shields stated that the program was working to resolve complaints and to arrest building
deterioration through improved maintenance. He emphasized that, so far, staff has managed to
achieve compliance without creating hostility or going to court. He mentioned the interest of other
communities in how the Tigard Code was working. He observed that the professional managers
willingly cooperated with the Code; any enforcement problems tended to occur with non-
professional managers.
Mr. Shields reviewed the statistical breakdown of the 146 complaints received in the first year,
noting that only 122 fell within Tigard's jurisdiction. He indicated that staff declined 14 complaints
upon investigation, leaving 94 complaints for staff action; only 15 remained unresolved at this time.
He noted that complaints were filed for both multi-family rentals (74) and single-family structures
(27). He mentioned the effectiveness of the Code in appropriately addressing the wide variety of
complaints received. He presented pictures of specific cases that required enforcement of the Code.
Mr. Shields reviewed the implementation measures staff has taken to develop specific forms and
procedures for investigation, record keeping and enforcement. He discussed the issue of
confidentiality. He expressed his appreciation for the cooperation he has received from other City
departments. He commented that photo documentation has proved invaluable and cost effective.
Mr. Shields discussed Tigard's leadership role in the region in addressing these problems common
to any city with an aging housing stock. He mentioned that staff gave presentations to Gresham and
Astoria; Gresham decided against a Housing Code but Astoria was still looking at one. He noted
the importance of using a task force with stakeholder representatives in achieving a workable
Housing Code.
Mr. Shields referenced the capability staff had in the Code to address issues of eviction, repair and
remediation by the City, even though staff has not had to use them yet. He discussed the
importance of advertising the program in maintaining the enforcement friendly mode. He
emphasized the staff's low-key approach, per Council direction. He reported that they have had
translation services available when they needed them, although in the future they might need to set
up more formal procedures.
Mr. Shields reviewed the elements staff identified during implementation as needing fine-tuning.
He suggested eliminating the Code requirement that a respondent to a civil infraction summons to
provide a $50 security deposit, as staff autornatically waived it.
Mr. Shields reported that, at its May meeting, the Task Force expressed strong satisfaction with the
City's implementation of the Housing Code and its enforcement friendly stance. He suggested that
the City thank the Housing Task Force for the significant investment of time and effort the members
put into developing the Code.
Council President Moore concurred that it was appropriate to formally recognize the Task Force
members for their work over two years. Mr. Monahan suggested that he and Mr. Shields poll the
Task Force members to see which televised Council meeting date most of them could attend for a
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 20, 2000 - PAGE 3
formal recognition ceremony. He suggested asking the Tigard Times and the Oregonian to
acknowledge the efforts of the Task Force and Mr. Shields, and the community's response to the
program.
Sheila Greenlaw-Fink, Housing Task Force member, mentioned the Task Force's pleasure at the
Council listening to the Task Force as it dealt with the remaining contentious issues. She concurred
that Tigard proved itself a leader in the region with the housing code issue. She mentioned a
concern the Task Force had that enforcement might lead to exorbitant costs, noting that that has not
proved to be the case. She said that the Task Force was very happy with how the City implemented
the Code.
Councilor Scheckla, who also sat on the Task Force, noted the time and effort it took to achieve a
Code that considered all the viewpoints. He mentioned the City's good fortune in having Mr.
Shields to implement the Code, as Mr. Shields worked as a negotiator to get compliance without
taking a hard line. He thanked him for his work. Councilors Patton and Hunt concurred.
4. DISCUSSION OF ZONE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (ZOA 1999-00003) TO ALLOW
DAY CARE USES IN INDUSTRIAL ZONES
Julia Hajduk, Current Planner, referred to the information summary in the Council packet and
her memo outlining the steps she took to address the Council's concerns. She reported that she
found few regulations in the state dealing with daycare uses not affecting the existing uses. She
recommended requiring the daycare applicants to look at the noise and environmental impacts of
adjacent uses and to take steps to protect themselves so that the existing uses did not exceed the City
Code requirements. She also recommended requiring daycare applicants to start the permitting
process for a daycare before applying to build a daycare, so that the City knew that what it was
approving would ultimately be permitted.
Ms. Hajduk recommended changing the language in Exhibit C to make daycare a permitted use with
restrictions within the zone, as opposed to a conditional use. She noted that she included the option
of a conditional use, if Council wanted it, although staff did not recommend it.
Council President Moore opened the meeting to public testimony.
John Brosy described his work with Ms. Hajduk on this matter. He said that their first choice was
the staff recommendation for a permitted use with restrictions. He discussed their concern with the
requirement for an environmental impact assessment, as they were uncertain what that involved.
Ms. Hajduk explained that the only issue she foresaw at this time was noise; it was the only
measurable item in the State,Code. She commented that the applicants' doing an environmental
assessment looking at noise, visual concerns, emissions, etc., would provide protection for both
themselves and the existing users.
Councilor Patton suggested defining "environmental impact assessment." Ms. Hajduk referenced
the definition in Exhibit C. Councilor Patton spoke to including a reference to that definition in
Footnote 9, as it was not clear where the full definition was located. Ms. Hajduk said that she
would reword Footnote 9 to state, "daycare uses with over five children are permitted subject to an
environmental impact assessment in accordance with TDC 18.530.050(c)(1)."
Mr. Monahan indicated that staff would provide Council with the revisions for the reopening of the
public hearing at the June 27 meeting.
o Non-agenda item: Hill Street Neighbors Petition
Dick Bewersdorff, Planning Director, referenced the June 20, 2000, memo from Barbara Gomez
discussing the complaints received about two duplexes (beginning in September 1999). He
explained that the neighbor complaints dealt with cosmetic issues not addressed by the Housing
Code. He indicated that the problem was a combination landlord-tenant problem but staff had no
authority to go into the buildings, since the tenants have not complained. He mentioned dealing
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 20, 2000 - PAGE 4
with the visible code violations outside, commenting that any more complaints of code violations
would result in going to court. Mr. Shields mentioned their hope that the owner would allow them
to tour one unit, once vacated, in order to assess the probable Housing Code violations inside the
building.
5. UPDATE ON THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Gus Duenas, City Engineer, reported staff's concern with Metro's intent to downgrade Hwy 99W
to a major arterial, following construction of the I-5 connector, and to leave it to Tigard to solve the
problem of Hwy 99W. He indicated that their findings showed a 50150 split between local and
regional traffic on Hwy 99W; Metro's initial findings showed primarily local traffic on Hwy 99W.
He described the staff work with Metro to change the language to recognize that Hwy 99W was a
regional problem, requiring a coalition of regional resources to solve it.
Mr. Duenas indicated that the Washington Square Regional Center Plan recommendations were
included in the Regional Transportation Plan, although they would most likely be placed in the
2011-2020 time frame. He mentioned the advantage Tigard had with its Transportation System
Plan progressing on an almost parallel path with the Regional Transportation Plan, thus providing
Tigard with information to counter Metro's information when necessary. He commented that the
Tigard Plan was in good shape, slated for adoption before the end of the calendar year.
Laurie Nicholson, Associate Planner, indicated that staff was waiting on comments from ODOT
on its local Transportation System Plan before proceeding with the public process to gather citizen
comment. She commented that an adopted Transportation System Plan would help in asking for
money for projects.
e Councilor Hunt asked what happened to the original Agenda Item 6, USA. agreement. Mr.
Monahan explained that Mr. Wegner found out that other jurisdictions were not satisfied with
the agreement; staff wanted Council to have the benefit of comments from other jurisdictions.
Mr. Monahan announced that ODOT intended to close the top ramp of the I-5 entrance off Hwy
99W in order to do the grinding and scraping of that section. He commented that he hoped
ODOT provided good signage because they did not inform the City of this until this morning.
s Council President Moore mentioned his observation that the ODOT project has disrupted the
signal light timing. Mr. Monahan said that Mr. Duenas would check with ODOT to see what
was going on.
a Councilor Hunt spoke to the Council not postponing issues for discussion at a later meeting
simply because a Councilor was not present at the meeting. He suggested that any Councilor
who knew that he or she would be absent for a particular discussion forward his/her comments
to the City Manager.
6. DISCUSS CITY MANAGER'S REVIEW
The Council discussed whether to discuss the City Manager's Review after the regular agenda.
Council President Moore indicated that Mayor Nicoli had comments about the review; however he
does not have a copy of these comments yet. Mr. Monahan pointed out that if the Council wanted
to hold his review in Executive Session, it needed to first allow public comment on the review
criteria. He suggested holding the discussion on the review criteria tonight in an open session study
session. If the Council decided to hold his review in Executive Session, staff would schedule an
opportunity for the public to respond to the criteria.
The Council agreed by consensus with the City Manager's recommendation.
7. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS: None
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 20, 2000 - PAGE 5
8. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
• Atfalati Recreation District Bond
Mr. Monahan referenced his memo discussing the most recent happenings in the Atfalati Recreation
District formation efforts. He recalled that the memo of understanding, which the Council
authorized him to sign, estimated a tax rate not to exceed 48 cents per $1,000 for the permanent tax
rate (operating) and not to exceed 35 cents per $1,000 for the 20-year capital tax rate. He explained
that Harvey Rogers, the Bond Counsel for the County, expressed concern at putting the formation of
the district with its permanent tax rate and the capital tax rate on the same ballot, since this
effectively authorized a capital tax for an entity that did not yet exist.
Mr. Monahan said that Mr. Rogers recommended rolling the two tax rates together into one
permanent rate of 83 cents per $1,000, similar to what happened with the WCCLS and MSTIP
levies under Measure 50. He pointed out that this meant that the capital tax did not necessarily go
away after 20 years. He indicated that Mr. Rogers' concern primarily lay with the bond buyers and
a potentially higher rate, as opposed to the legalities.
Mr. Monahan reported that County Counsel Dan Olson held that the resolutions already passed by
the jurisdictions would hold up; the jurisdictions did not have to pass new resolutions reflecting the
change in the permanent tax rate because the resolutions authorized a total of 83 cents per $1,000 as
a tax rate. He mentioned the public hearing set for the first reading of the County ordinance at the
County Commission meeting next Tuesday and the second reading scheduled for August 15.
Mr. Monahan confirmed to Councilor Seheckla that the capital rate would not go away in the Bond
Counsel's proposal but clarified that the tax rate would remain at 83 cents permanently. He
concurred with Council President Moore that the recreation district could choose not to levy the
capital tax after 20 years. He clarified for Councilor Scheckla that the Recreation District included
Tigard, Tualatin and the Tigard-Tualatin School District. He mentioned that Atfalati had to ask
Clackamas County to put this issue on its ballot to cover the small portion of Tualatin within
Clackamas County.
Councilor Patton commented that she had a hard time understanding the County Counsel's opinion
because the permanent tax rate became 83 cents with no distinction for the capital. She concurred
that Mr. Olson was depending on the word "anticipated." She described the problem as Mr. Olson
forgetting that the resolutions itemized the distinction between the pennanent tax rate and the
capital tax rate. She asked how the County intended to present its case to the voters for a capital tax
rate that would not necessarily go away after 20 years. Mr. Monahan said that he did not know.
Council President Moore commented that ultimately the voters reading the ballot measure would
determine the permanent bond rate versus a 20-year rate. Councilor Hunt pointed out that the
Council authorized a 20-year tax rate; it did not authorize this change, and therefore, it should
consider another resolution authorizing the change. Mr. Monahan concurred with Councilor Patton
that the Council specifically designated one portion as a permanent tax rate and one portion as a
i capital improvement rate (defined as a certain number of projects for a period of time), and with
Council President Moore that the resolution did not specify a time period for the capital rate. He
noted that the Council did not discuss the capital rate exceeding 20 years.
Mr. Monahan suggested that staff obtain a copy of the County staff report, send a letter to the
County Commissioners at the first public hearing (indicating the Council desire to revisit the
matter), discuss what it wanted to do at the July 11 meeting, and then testify at the second public
3 hearing in August. He listed the Council's options: passing a second resolution, qualifying the first
a resolution with a recommendation to review the capital tax after 20 years according to specified
criteria, recommending that the County not take the Bond Counsel's advice and proceed with a
separate taxing measure predicated on the formation measure passing, or recommending sending the
formation measure to the voters first followed by the taxing measure at a later election.
The Council agreed by consensus that staff should get more information from the County.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 20, 2000 - PAGE 6
o Recognition of Bruce Ellis
Council President Moore suggested that the City offi ;ially recognize the work of Bruce Ellis in
running the Balloon Festival for more than a decade. He mentioned the pride and public recognition
the Balloon Festival brought to the City of Tigard. Councilors Hunt and Scheckla spoke to
obtaining detailed financial reports from the Balloon Festival Committee before recognizing Mr.
Ellis' work. Council President Moore said he did not see how the financial reports related to
recognizing Mr. Ellis for his work on behalf of the City related to obtaining detailed financial
reports; however, he said he would table his suggestion.
9. STUDY SESSION
Council President Moore adjourned the meeting to study session at 9:00 p.m.
City Council Discussion: City :Manager's Review
Councilor Moore asked for comments regarding information provided by City Manager Monahan
on his past performance reviews. Also reviewed was City Manager Compensation Review/
Retirement and Deferred Compensation of City Managers from other jurisdictions
Council discussed process and decided it would iiLu,iss and reach preliminary agreement on the
City Manager's compensation tonight. Opportunity for public comment would be provided at an
upcoming City Council meeting. A final City Cov_lcil study session would be held to discuss the
final review and recommendation for compensation and how it would be presented to the City
Manager.
After lengthy discussion regarding compensation, it was decided that a COLA of 2.6% as granted to
management staff, and consistent with the City Manager's contract, would be provided. After
review of comparable wages/benefits from other cities, City Council decided that an increase in
wages would not be granted to the City Manager this year.
The subject of a Deferred Compensation Plan was discussed. City Council felt it was worth
reviewing, but wanted more time and information before making a decision.
City Council review the City MLilager's vacaticn rate and determined the present accrual rate was
fair; no increase would be considered this year.
Council decided that Council President Moore would update Mayor Nicoli with the City Council's
discussion regarding the City Manager's review. The next step will be to provide an opportunity for
public input, final City Council discussion and then to conduct the review.

AGENDA ITEM 4
FOR AGENDA OF June 20, 2000
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Zone Ordinance Amendment (ZOA1999-00003) to Allow Dam Care Uses in
Industrial Zones.
PREPARED BY:Julia Haiduk DEPT HEAD OK 1^J 19+V CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Discuss recommended code language and Ordinance for the Zone Ordinance Amendment to allow day care
uses in Industrial zones.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Review the recommended code language and Ordinance and direct staff to make changes as needed prior to the
June 27, 2000 Public Hearing on this matter.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the request on March 6, 2000. At that meeting, the
Commission voted 5-2 to deny the requested amendment. Staff forwarded this recommendation to the City
Council.
The applicant originally requested the amendment to allow day care uses either conditionally or outright in all
Industrial Zones. The applicant clarified the request before the City Council, indicating that day cares should be
permitted outright in the Light Industrial zones and conditionally in the Heavy Industrial zones.
At the April 25, 2000 public hearing, the City Council indicated they were in favor of approving the request in
concept. Staff was directed to prepare language that would allow day care uses with restrictions. Staff
indicated at that meeting that a Conditional Use was not necessary and that the amendment could be worded in
a way that placed restrictions on the use but that if the standards were met, the use could be an outright
permitted use. This will avoid a public hearing that is not really needed. This is the direction staff has taken in
preparing the recommendations. As an option, in the event that Council does in fact want the day care uses to
e reviewed as a Conditional Use, staff has prepared draft changes to the Conditional Use Section of the code
that would reflect the same restrictions staff is recommending be a part of Industrial zoning regulations section.
The City Council directed staff at the April 25, 2000 public hearing to draft language for a code change that
would allow day care uses in Industrial Zones with restrictions that would both insure the safety and efficiency
of the day care use, as well as insure that adjacent uses could continue without the need to make site upgrades in
response to the day care use adjacent to it. Staff contacted the Childcare Division- Day Care Unit, DEQ, the
Oregon Health Division and several cities that allow day care uses in Industrial zones for input on proposed
language. Attached is a detailed summary of staff's findings, the language proposed with restrictions, and a
draft Ordinance for Council's consideration. If Council feels that the language proposed adequately addresses
their concerns, staff will make no changes and the Council can adopt the proposed Ordinance at the June 27,
2000 public hearing. If changes are requested, staff will make these changes and prepare a revised Ordinance
for the June 27, 2000 public hearing.

Tigard, Oregon 97223
(503) 639-4171
Fax 684-7297
TO: City Council
FROM: Julia Hajduk, Associate Planner
DATE: June 2, 2000
SUBJECT: Zone Ordinance Amendment to Allow Day Care Uses in Industrial Zones
Recommendation and Background Information.
The City Council indicated they had concerns that a new day care next to existing industrial uses
would require the existing industrial uses to change their operating procedures to comply with
regulatory requirements. Staff has contacted the Children's Services Division (CSD) Day Care
Unit, DEQ, and the Oregon Health Division to research whether there would be any potential
problems. Staff has a,so reviewed the Tigard Municipal Code and several other cities'
development codes for guidance in preparing recommended language. The following
summarizes what staff found:
CSD
Tmere are no locational criteria for a day care that would prohibit location near an industrial use.
The standards do, however, require a certain amount of outdoor space based on the number of
children using the facility at one time.
DEQ
DED standards do not require different compliance standards based on the use of adjacent
properties, therefore, a day care would not require any more regulatory compliance than that of
another industrial use. When asked if the federal EPA may have rules or regulations that would
impact existing uses next to new day cares, staff was informed that DEQ regulates the EPA
rules. Since EQ rules are not dependent on the use or adjacent uses, neither would the EPA
rules. Of course, if an existing industrial use was not in compliance or wished to increase the
amount of discharge into the air or water, DEQ would have to review permits which may or may
not be approved based on the regulatory standards. This approval will not, however, be based
on adjacent users.
Health Division/OSSHA
There are no stricter regulations for contaminants next to a day care than for any other use. Any
facility is required to meet health and safety standards for their employees but they are not
mandated to insure their operation meets this for employees in adjacent businesses.
Cit of Ti and Munici al Code
The igar unicipa Go de lists day cares as a "noise-sensitive land use". The maximum noise
level at the property line of a noise sensitive land use is 50dB during the day and 40dB during
the nigght. There is a potential that existing industrial uses may exceed this at the property line of
tential day care sites. Staff has recommended that a restriction of the permitted day care use
gothe measuring of noise levels (as well as other environmental elements) and requiring that
the proposed day care site be designed so as to meet this standard. This will put the burden on
the day care, instead of on existing uses.
Neighboring City Standards for-Comparison
to reviewed the o owing cities development codes to determine if they had restrictions or
regulations that the City of Tigard could incorporate into this amendment:
Portland
Beaverton
Oregon City
o Tualatin
Salem
Gresham
Among these cities, the regulations and restrictions vary from not permitted, permitted outright
and permitted conditionally. Staff looked at the conditional use regulations and restrictions for
cities that did allow them to determine if any of these restrictions should be applied in the City of
Tigard. Several cities had requirements on the amount of outdoor open space for the day care
use. Staff does not feel this is necessary, since the amount of outdoor open space is regulated
by the Children's Services Division permit requirements. Staff does, however, believe that a
condition that the applicant work with CSD prior to submitting the application to the City is
necessary. A condition of final inspection and occupancy should be to obtain a permit from ND
to operate the day care center is also appropriate. The City of Tualatin allows day care uses
outright in industrial zones provided they are more than 400 feet away from exterior walls and
pump islands of any automobile service station. Staff has found no specific reason for this
standard from DEQ or CSD. While the City of Portland's Conditional Use criteria appear to most
closely address the concerns the City Council raised at the last hearin , staff finds that the
majority are too vague to adequately analyze as discretionary criteria. By complying with the
Site Development Review standards and special restrictions staff has recommended, the site
will be suitable for the proposed day care use.
Staff has not recommended site size limitations (nor have they been found in other cities
researched), however, the City Council may chose to set minimum or maximum lot sizes. If this
is requested, it may eliminate smaller infill sites or require a developer to partition a larger site
that may be more appropriate to be developed as part of a development complex.
Recommendation:
Staff as etermined that there are some specific restrictions that are clear and objective that
can and should be placed on day care uses in industrial zones. Included in the Council packet
is the recommended language to be placed in the Industrial zone section of the development
code. Staff does not recommend requiring applicants to go through the Conditional Use process
because the recommended restrictions are clear and objective and can be adequately
addressed by staff. If, however, the Council wishes to have an added level of review, staff has
prepared draft changes to the Conditional Use section of the Tigard Community Development
Code for Council to consider at the work session. It should be noted that the recommended
restrictions remain the same. The only change would be the process in which they are
reviewed.

A. Purpose, The purpose of this chapter is to provide standards and procedures under which a
conditional use may be permitted, enlarged or altered if the site is appropriate and if other
appropriate conditions of approval can be met.. There are certain uses which due to the nature
of the impacts on surrounding land uses and public facilities require a case-by-case review
and analysis.
18.330.020 Approval Process
A. Initial applications. A request for approval for a new conditional use shall be processed as a
Type III-HO procedure, as regulated by Chapter 18.390.050, using approval criteria
contained in Section 18.330.030A and subject to other requirements in this chapter.
B. Major modification of approved or existing conditional use.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Monahan, Jim Hendryx and Dick Bewersdorff, -
FROM: Barbara Gomez, Code Compliance
DATE: June 20, 2000
SUBJECT: Hill Street Duplexes Addressed as 9283, 9285, 9287 and 9289 SW Hill St.
I have been asked to address the problems surrounding the two sets of duplexes located
on Hill Street.
I became involved with the duplexes soon after I started to work for the City of Tigard in
September of 1999; however, complaints had been received before that time. Problems
develop and expand due to lack of interest in the properties shown by the property owner,
Bruce Richie. The current tenants of the duplexes have a total disregard for maintenance
of the property both inside and out that have led to several notices of violations and
citations being issued on two separate occasions.
The first citation issued included noxious vegetation, offensive littering and obstruction
of street violations. A court date was set for March 29, 2000. This citation was issued
after several violation notices had been sent to the property owner. On March 21, 2000, a
request for dismissal of charges was submitted to the court after the property had been
cleaned to a point of compliance. The neighbors were not satisfied because they felt more
should be done. The code, however, does not have provisions for cosmetic complaints.
Citations cannot be issued on lack of grass in the yards, structural painting or unsightly
fencing. The fence in question was less than 4 feet high and did not require a permit.
After a period of time, the properties began to deteriorate and again a citation was issued
on the morning of April 11, 2000, in which the charges were scattering of rubbish and
obstruction of streets. A court date of April 25, 2000, was set. On the afternoon of April
11, 2000, a meeting was held at the Police Department to discuss the Hill St. duplexes. At
this meeting was Melanie Fletcher of Washington County Department of Housing. She
indicated that her office would be removing the children who lived at 9283 Hill St. due to
living conditions that existed inside the residence. Within days, the children were
removed. The police issues of possible trafficing of drugs at 9283 SW Hill St. were never
proven.
A request for dismissal of the violation was made only after the property owner had
cleaned the property to a point of compliance. He was advised that if a third citation were
I to be issued, there would be no dismissal.
The Municipal Court will be provided a full accounting of the past problems. The judge
has the authority to assess the fines.
On the morning of June 13, 2000, I drove by the duplexes to verify the status. Although
the grass on both properties need to be mowed again, there was no debris in the street,
sidewalk, or in the front or back yards that I could see.
I believe that the neighbors want the City to hold the property owner, Bruce Richie, more
responsible for his properties. This was my goal also. Since the dismissal of the last
citation, I have stayed in contact with the property manager. She has updated me on the
course of action that they had to take. Eviction notice was given to the residents of 9283
SW Hill Street. They were to be out on May 22; however, the property manager had to
file papers in court because they failed to move. Based on the property owner's attorney,
this comrlaint was withdrawn due to the health condition of one of the renters. This was
done with the condition that the renters would leave within thirty days. At the time of
departure, it is hoped that the Housing Inspector will then have a chance to view the
interior of the structure. All concerned, property manager, Housing Inspector, and I
expect that major damage has been done to the interior of the structure. Maybe at this
point, repairs can be required that will give a degree of improvement.

ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Re ional Transportation Plan
PREPARED BY: Laurie Nicholson DEPT HEAD OK 0-P~ rlT- V MOR
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Update on the Regional Transportation Planning process
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Informational Briefing. City Council discussion and input would be appreciated-.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The 2000 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is the latest in a series of updates of Metro's transportation plan
to comply with state and federal planning requirements in a manner that implements the Portland region's land
use and transportation goals and objectives. This transportation plan establishes the priority projects for roads
and freight movement as well as alternative transportation options such as bicycling, transit, and walking.
Metro is currently processing public comments on the plan from local jurisdictions. Attached is Metro's
schedule for adoption of the RTP. There is further opportunity to submit additional comments prior to the
deadline of June 29, 2000.
City staff has worked with Metro staff throughout the process. The primary issue for Tigard with the RTP is
Highway 99W. Not surprisingly, the RTP shows that Highway 99W through Tigard cannot be solved through
conventional widening because of all the latent travel demand in this area. Tigard staff agree with Metro that
Highway 99W will remain congested and that no simple solution is immediately available. Through our
Transportation System Plan (TSP), we plan to address long-tern transportation planning issues for Highway
99W, and through continuing to work with the Oregon Department of Transportation, Washington County, and
Metro.
The RTP does include proposed improvements to major streets in and around Tigard. In addition, the
Washington Square Regional Center study project recommendations are considered in this RTP. Major projects
from the Washington Square Plan are included in the project lists.

VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
The projects in the RTP relevant to Tigard would meet the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow goals of Improve Traffic
Flow and Improve Traffic Safety.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE USA-Citv Agreements
PREPARED BY: Bill Monahan DEPT HEAD OK ZX V- LTTY MGR OK -
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Discussion of the draft USA-City Agreement which would revise th? original USA contract adopted in 1970 as
modified through 1990. USA has determined that the existing agreements with Washington County cities are
incomplete and do not reflect current operating conditions within the urban area of Washington County. A
draft revised contract has been discussed with City staff for the past several months. The latest draft is ready for
discussion with the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council review the draft City Agreement and engage in discussion with City staff
as well as representatives of USA.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County has prepared a draft City Agreement for review by member
jurisdictions. City staff has participated in discussions with USA personnel and other cities for the past several
months. The Agreement is out-of-date as modifications have not been made since 1990. Surface water
management responsibilities were added to the agency in 1990 resulting in changes to the Agreement to reflect
the added responsibility. Current/pending regulatory requirements such as the Clean Water Act, the
Endangered Species Act, and Metro Title 3 as well as the Conveyance System Management Study necessitate a
review at this time.
The proposed agreement would better identify the responsibilities of USA as well as member cities.
Attached for review is a redline version of the USA-City Agreement which illustrates changes proposed by
various jurisdictions, including Tigard. Our City Attorney has contributed to the City's proposed amendments.
A clean copy of the agreement proposed by USA is also attached.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Keep the 1990 USA Agreement without making modification.

Dear Bill:
SUBJECT: CITY AGREEMENTS
I have enclosed two copies of the USA-City Agreement (Agreement) in advance of our meeting
within the next few weeks. My office will call to schedule a convenient time. The first enclosure
highlights the comments received from the cities during the review process. These proposed
revisions have been discussed during earlier meetings with you, at our County Manager's
meetings and at a joint council meeting of the Agency and cities. The second enclosure is an
executable copy of the Agreement containing the revised language reflecting many of the
changes proposed by the cities. In considering Tigard City Council action on this issue, it is
useful to summarize why the Agency feels that adoption of this revised Agreement is essential at
this time.
Out of Date
The current USA-City agreements were originally adopted in 1970 with only minor
modifications through 1990. In that year, surface water management responsibilities were added
to the Agency, and changes were made to the Agreement reflecting this added responsibility. In
reviewing the existing Agreement within the context of current/pending regulatory requirements
(Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Metro Title 3), new service delivery initiatives
(Conveyance System Management Study), and the Agency's legal responsibilities for managing
revenues and expenditures under ORS 451, it is clear that the existing Agreements are
incomplete and do not refleci current operating conditions within the urban area of Washington
County. The revised agreement better reflects these current conditions.
Regulatory Compliance
Under ORS 451 and as the lead Agency in terms of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) and overall Clean Water Act (CWA) compliance, USA is the permittee for
both sanitary sewer and storm water regulations. While USA is the responsible party, federal and

state regulatory agencies have determined that the existing language in the USA-City Agreements
does not clearly delineate USA's authority to mandate specific compliance actions within the
cities. In light of this criticism, we engaged outside counsel to assess the legitimacy of the
regulatory agency concerns and evaluate possible remedies. It is true that the existing agreements
do not contain very credible provisions assuring compliance. We are advised that this weakness
can be corrected through revision of the Agreement or by Agency rulemaking. It seems most
consistent with our history of collaboration that we work together to address this need by
amendment of the agreement. Accordingly, the revised Agreement restates this authority
(already established under ORS 451) by clearly designating USA as the lead Agency in
responding to permit issues throughout the service area.
Service Delivery Efficiencies
The urban area of Washington County covers 123 square miles. Within that area are over 1,400
miles of sanitary sewer pipe, 26,500 catch basins and 890 miles of storm lines. USA and the
cities share field maintenance responsibilities for these collection systems. The current
Agreement has provided the basis for assigning general system responsibilities and establishing
very basic criteria for performing field maintenance activities. The unprecedented rate of
development within the urban growth boundary and the corresponding expansion of sanitary
sewer and storm water system inventory have highlighted the need to better define and
coordinate the field maintenance operations of the Agency and cities. The work planning
program and service area maps developed with the cities over the last two years and included in
the proposed City Agreements are key steps toward implementing a more cost-effective approach
toward sanitary and storm water system maintenance. This efficiency will translate into better
service and long term savings for all ratepayers in the urban area of Washington County.
Coordinated Financial Management
Under the current Agreement, the Agency and cities jointly provide field services under a
framework, which generally assigns to the individual jurisdictions the physical areas of
responsibility and the system inventory to be maintained. Under the Agency's rules, uniform
percentage allocations of service charge revenue are made between the cities and USA; 75
percent of storm water rate revenue is retained by the City and 30 percent of the sanitary sewer
rate revenue is retained. These percentage allocations have been in place since 1990 and 1970
respectively. Neither is supported by actual cost or system inventory data. In order to insure that
cities receive revenues needed to do the revised work programs resulting from the Conveyance
Study, we need to develop a consistent cost based means of paying the City for that work. The
I basis for allocations has been developed with the cities through the Conveyance System
Management Study. In addition, these allocations can be adjusted annually to reflect any changes
impacting maintenance activities/costs. In terms of funding, rate setting and financial
management, the existing and new Agreements provide the Agency with comprehensive

authority to manage revenues and expenditures throughout the service area. Our revised approach
establishes a procedure to better manage the allocation of service charge revenues for field
maintenance activities. In addition, the Agency will continue to work with the cities toward better
allocation of system development charge revenues and establishing improved financial reporting
systems.
These areas highlight the major changes to the Agreement, which the Agency believes necessary
to meet regulatory requirements and better manage how USA and the cities do business. As in
the past, the Agency commits itself to working with the partner cities in providing the highest
quality and lowest cost sanitary and storm services. This revised Agreement is an important step
toward ensuring this level of service into the future. Agency staff is available to assist with
presentations to Council and hope that the Agreements can be brought up for adoption by mid-
June.
I look forward to our meeting in the next few weeks.

Version 3-23-00
USA-CITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the ^ day of ,
2000, between the City of a municipal corporation of the State of Oregon,
hereinafter referred to as "City," and the Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington
County, a municipal corporation and county service district, hereinafter referred to as the
"Agency."
WHEREAS, the Agency was duly formed and organized under ORS Chapter
451, has the authority to provide sanitary sewerage treatment facilities, and to provide for
Aorm and surface water management within its boundaries; and City is within the
Agency by action of its Council pursuant to an election duly conducted within the
boundaries of the Agency; and
WHEREAS, City and Agency have the authority to enter into contracts for the
cooperative operation of service facilities under ORS 451.560 and ORS Chapter 190; and
WHEREAS, the Agency and Cities have established and will continue to
maintain an effective partnership for sanitary sewerage and surface water management
services which this agreement is designed to support, enhance, and clarify; and
WHEREAS, City and Agency previously entered into an Agreement for the
cooperative operation of sanitary sewer and surface water facilities, and said Agreement
is in need of amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements to be
kept and performed by the parties hereto, it is agreed as follows:
Section 1. Definition of Terms
Wherever the following terms are used in this agreement they shall have the
following meaning unless otherwise specifically indicated by the context in which they
appear:
A. Area of Geographic Responsibility means the area set forth in the map
attached as Exhibit A as may be amended.
B. Board means the Board of Directors of the Agency, its governing body.
C. Chief Executive Officer means the City official responsible for managing
the day-to-day business affairs of City.
D. Council means the City Council, governing body of City.
Page t of 20 - Agreemcnt with City or
E. Industrial Waste means any liquid, gaseous, radioactive or solid waste
substance or a combination thereof resulting from any process of industrial
or manufacturing business, or from the development or recovery of natural
resources. For the purposes of this agreement, Industrial Waste shall also
include any substance regulated under 33 USC Sec 1317, together with
regulations adopted thereunder.
F. Operation and Maintenance means the regular performance of work
required to assure continued functioning of the storm and surface water
system and the sanitary sewerage system and corrective measures taken to
repair facilities to keep them in operating condition, and in full compliance
with the requirements of all applicable laws, regulations, and permits.
Tualatin City is concerned about the reference to "fi,ll" compliance and "all" applicable
laws because of the potential legal implications. These terms may be read to impose a
duty of absolute perfection in operation and maintenance, with any infraction of that duty
opening the door to civil liability for negligence and whatever the Federal government
might impose. While we strive for excellence and understand the consequences for
failing to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permits, we believe that simply
deleting those two words and leaving the rest of the language accomplishes your needs
without imposing impossible standards on us.
Comment USA agrees with the City of Tualatin's comment to delete the word "full"
and the word "all" from section I.F.
G. Order means Resolutions, Orders and Directives of the Agency
prescribing general standards and conditions for construction or use of the
storm and surface water facilities and the sanitary sewerage facilities, and
Rates and Charges.
H Person means the state of Oregon, any individual, public or private
corporation, political subdivision, governmental agency, municipality,
industry, co-partnership, association, firm, trust, estate or any other legal
entity whatsoever.
1. Program Funding means the revenues made available to City through
Section 4.A.3. of this agreement to follow the adopted work programs and
performance standards.
J. Rates and Charges are defined in the Agency's "Rates and Charges"
Resolution and Order (R&O) No. 98-22, or as may be amended. The
following terms when used in this agreement shall be as defined in that
R&O:

plant, pumping or lift facilities, sewer pipe, force mains, laterals,
manholes, side sewers, laboratory facilities and equipment, and any other
facilities for the collection, conveyance, treatment and disposal of sanitary
sewage comprising the total publicly-owned Sanitary Sewerage System
within Agency jurisdiction, to which storm, surface and ground waters are
not intentionally admitted.
L. Standards means the standards and conditions of use of the storm and
surface water system and the sanitary sewer system as specified and
adopted by the Agency. Standards also shall mean applicable statutes and
rules of the United States and the State of Oregon.
M. Storm and Surface Water System means any combination of publicly
owned storm and surface water quality treatment facilities, pumping or lift
facilities, storm drain pipes and culverts, open channels, creeks and rivers,
force mains, laterals, manholes, catch basins and inlets, grates and covers,
detention and retention facilities, laboratory facilities and equipment, and
any other publicly owned facilities for the collection, conveyance,
treatment and disposal of storm and surface water comprising the total
publicly owned Storm and Surface Water System within Agency's
jurisdiction, to which sanitary sewage flows are not intentionally admitted.
N. Work Program and Performance Standards are adopted by the Agency to
define the activities required to operate and maintain the sanitary sewer
and storm and surface water systems.
Tigard The Work Program and Performance Standards should be a joint effort of USA
and the Cities. Section L N should read: "Work Program and Performance Standards are
adopted by the Agency and City to define..."
Comment There were similar comments from the cities throughout this agreement on
the fimdarnental issues of the Agency's authority to ultimately set the work programs,
division of responsibility, rates and charges, the division of revenue, and to assess
enforcement actions and penalties. In general, the cities commented that these actions
should be by mutual approval. This issue is fundamental to the Agency being able to
carry out its responsibility as the regional service provider for the storm and sanitary
sewer programs. The new agreement does not give the Agency any additional authority
than it had in the existing agreement, rather it is just defined more openly. The exception
being the ability for the Agency to assess tines and penalties. USA was formed in 1970,
Pagc 3 of 20 - Agrccmcnt with City of
MINE
and the SWM authority was added in 1990, in order to create an agency with the power
and ability to operate a unified program. The regulatory agencies view USA as the
responsible entity, and USA would receive the fines and penalties for non-performance
throughout its service area. The Agency believes that in order for the regional storm and
sanitary sewer systems to function properly and meet regulatory requirements, the
Agency must have the authority to develop and enforce the programs necessary to meet
the permit obligations. As such, the rules, policies, and work programs are not a "group
decision", but instead are ultimately a decision of our governing board. It also follow-.
that the implementation of the policies and programs can not be "discretionary" within
each member cities. The alternative of each city having "veto power" over rules, policies,
and programs would neutralize this central authority and make it virtually impossible to
achieve the goals required by our permits. Recommended revising to read: " Work
Program and Performance Standards are adopted by the Agency after considering input
from the cities to define the activities required to operate and maintain the sanitary sewer
and storm and surface water systems."

Section 2. Determination of Programs, Rules, Policies and Standards
A. The Agency is responsible for the management and operation of the sanitary
sewer and storm and surface water systems within its boundary, and is the
designated permittee who shall obtain and enforce timely compliance with
relevant Federal and delegated State Clean Water Act permits for treatment
plants and stormwater. The Agency, in cooperation with the Cities, shall adopt
orders, Standards, specifications, work programs, and performance criteria for
the proper and effective operation of the sanitary sewer and storm and surface
water Systems and to comply with State and Federal permits, laws and
regulations. In addition, the Agency, in cooperation with the Cities, shall have
the authority to make changes to its orders, work programs and performance
Standards. Any such changes duly adopted by the Agency that impact City
will become effective 30 days from the date of notice to City by Agency or as
mutually agreed to.
Tigard Amend the last sentence to read:
Any such changes duly adopted by the ^geney that impact Eity to work programs and
performance standards required by state and/or federal permits or regulations will
become effective 38 90 days from the date of notice to City by Agency or as mutually
agreed to. Any changes to work programs and performance standards, not required b
state and/or federal permits and regulations, shall be mutually agreed to by the Auencv
and City before they become effective Proposed changes should be communicated

between the Agency and the City in or before December of the year before they are to be
implemented to allow Agency and City to budget appropriately for the following year.
Comments Regarding the 30 or 90 days, USA agrees with the City of Tigard's
comment to amend the effective date of changes to orders, work programs and
performance standards. USA proposes that the phrase "become effective 30 days from
the date of notice to City by Agency or as mutually agreed to" be amended to read
"become effective 60 days from the date of notice to City by Agency or as mutually
agreed to. However, in the event such orders, work programs or performance Standards
are required by a regulatory agency to be implemented immediately, the orders, work
programs or performance Standards shall be immediately implemented." This change
gives the cities more time to inform work groups of the changes and allows time for
supplemental budgeting if necessary. Regarding the Agency's authority to make the
changes, please see the response to Tigard's comment in Section 1.N, with no change to
the authority being recommended.
Beaverton --City does not a,ree with !\uenc•r- <rut1lorit\• to change division of\\ork and

Comment Same as above.
Tualatin In the existing language, it says, "The Agency, in cooperation with the
cities...,, The term, "cooperation" is unclear as to what the Agency and the cities are to
do. We would like this clarified.
Comment USA proposes to change "in cooperation with" to "after considering input
from the cities".
B. City agrees to follow and enforce the Orders, Standards, specifications, work
programs, and performance criteria promulgated by the Agency, subject,
however, to program funding and to the extent that City may be lawfully
authorized to act. City further agrees to notify Agency of apparent violations
thereof which may require Agency legal action.
Tualatin --The first sentence of Section 2.13 requires the city to follow and enforce the
Agency's orders, specs. etc. With USA becoming the issuing agency for storniwater and
the cities merely referring- developers to USA, I don't know what we're expected to
enforce nor inhere we get the authority to do so, especially where we have existing SW\i 1
ordinances on our books that do not mirror what USA has just adopted.
Comment Tile City only has to enforce the provisions where the City has taken the
i responsibility for the activity in the agreement. No change is recommended.
Tualatin Section 2.13, last sentence, change to read:
"City further agrees to notify Agency of apparent violations thereofofwhich it has
a kilo lcdae which may regrrll'e AgenCl' ie`~al action." City believes this is necessary to
keep from imposing a dutV on the city to actively seek out violations.
Comment The change as proposed is accepted.

Section 3. Division of Responsibilities
A. Division of Responsibilities
1. The purpose of this agreement is to delegate to and contract with the City
to do specific functions. The responsibilities of the Agency and City are
defined in this Section and Appendix A. Exhibit A is a map showing
boundaries of responsibility between the Agency and City and is hereby
made a part of Appendix A and incorporated into this agreement.
2. All functions relating to the subject matter of this Agreement not
specifically listed in this Section or Appendix A as being the
responsibility of City shall remain the responsibility of the Agency.
B. Procedure for Modifying the Division of Responsibilities
1. Responsibilities defined in this Section and Appendix A may be
modified from time to time with approval in writing by the Chief
Executive Officer of City or designee and the Agency General Manager
or designee.
Tualatin City does not believe that the City Manager (Tualatin's chief executive
officer) can modify this agreement without City Council action. The agreement itself has
to go to Council for approval, so any modifications, unless there are very specific, narrow
parameters upon the delegation, would also have to go to Council. Therefore, "chief
executive officer or designee" should be deleted and "City" inserted.
Comment USA agrees with the City of Tualatin's comment to delete the words "Chief
Executive Officer of City or designee" and replace with "City", although the assumption
of the original language assumes that the City official would obtain the necessary
authority to sign, including City Council authorization when necessary.
2. Responsibilities defined in this Section and Appendix A may be
modified by the Agency Board after receiving input from the City and
determining this modification will be in the best interest of the public.
Any changes in responsibility imposed by the Board shall only be done
when the Board determines such a change is necessary to comply with
State or Federal permits, laws or regulations.
Tigard Amend the last sentence to read:
Any changes in responsibility imposed by the Board shall only be done when the Board
7 and Chief Executive Officer of the City or designee determines such a change is
a necessary to comply with State or Federal permits, laws or regulations.
Comment Regarding the joint approval, please see the response to Tigard's comment in
Section 1.N• with no change to the authority being recommended.. Recommended
clarifying the paragraph to read: "Responsibilities defined in this Section and Appendix
of 20 - Agreement with City of

a the change is necessary to comply with State or Federal permits, laws or regulations."
Beaverton City does not a~,ree with A-ency auth01-ity to chanoe division of work and
revenue on a 30 day notice.
Comment Same as above.
Tualatin Section 3.13.2 allows modification by the Board "after receiving input" from
the city and "determining" the modification is in the best interest of the public. It is
unclear whether the Board can unilaterally modify the responsibilities, even if the City's
input is "No" and it is also unclear whether the City has to determine that the
modification is in the best interest of the public or whether only USA makes that
determination. We do not favor USA being able to modify the responsibilities
unilaterally.
Comment The intent of this language is that the Board makes the decision after
receiving input from the city, and the City does not have to agree with the final decision.
Please see the response to Tigard's comment in Section L N, with no change to the
authority being recommended.
3. City may request that the Agency assume responsibility for any portion
of the program defined in this Section and Appendix A upon reasonable
notice, such notice in no event to be less than 6 months. Corresponding
adjustments to the revenue allocation shall be made to reflect the change
in responsibility upon implementation of such changes. City shall be
responsible for correcting or paying to have corrected any deficiencies in
the system resulting from non-performance of the programs under its
responsibility.
Tigard Amend the second sentence to read:
"As long as funding; levels stay the same, corresponding adjustments to the revenue......"
Comment The intent of the original language is that the funding levels will not stay the
same, but this would only occur when there is a significant change in the program
required to meet regulatory requirements. No change is recommended.
Amend the last sentence to read:
to
....resulting from non-performance of the programs under its responsibility subject to
funding availability."
Comment The proposed change is acceptable.
4. City boundaries may change through annexation. For City annexation of
territory currently in the Agency's boundary, the responsibilities defined
in Appendix A shall apply to the new City boundary. The responsibility
Page 7 of 20 - Agreement with City of
~iM
boundaries defined in Exhibit A are not changed due to City annexations
of territory currently inside the Agency's boundary. For annexations of
territory not currently within the Agency's boundary, the Agency will
amend Appendix A and Exhibit A to define the responsibilities for the
new area in cooperation with adjacent cities.
C. Additional City Responsibilities
Tigard Section 3.C General comments and concerns
The City is concerned that the additional City responsibilities listed in the draft IGA do in
fact add to the City Responsibility and may impose additional costs on the City. The City
should not have to bear extra financial burdens just so that USA can restructure its
process.
Comment The intention is that the Agency will fund everything we ask the City to do.
The procedure requires coordination of the USA and City processes. The City is
concerned that USA will not be able to respond in an adequate time to allow the City
processes to meet their deadlines. Subsection 2 requires the City to refrain from issuing a
stormwater connection permit without verification from USA. Does USA have adequate
resources to provide a response without delaying projects, including City project? Under
subsection 3, the City must obtain approval from USA before approving grading permits,
land clearing permits, plat approvals and land use approvals. The City must reach a final
decision on most of these applications within 120 days, or in some cases a shorter time.
Any delay will result in a mandamus action, with the Courts not the City and not USA
making the decision. Does USA have the resources to do this? This section should be
substantially modified. USA previously informed us that the two processes would be
independent and that the City could issue approvals and that USA would have
independent authority to deny the sewer connection. That system could work, but a
system that requires prior approval from USA cannot work unless USA devotes
substantial resources to the process and commits in the agreement to a decision within a
short amount of time.
Comment The intent of this language is to meet the requirements of Agency R&O 900-
7, Section 1.02.15, which defines Development and is in part intended to ensure that
proposed development can meet water quality requirements before it is approved through
the land use process. It is also intended to ensure that other activities, like land clearing
and tree removal, which call have a negative impact on water quality, are reviewed and
provide mitigation for negative water quality impacts. Thus, the IGA language in Section
3.C.3 which reads "for any grading permit, land clearing permit, plat approval, or
land use approval prior to undertaking work" should be revised to mirror more
closely the language in RKO 400-7 to, for all development, as defined by the
Agency (such as land division, grading, paving, clearing, etc.), prior to undertaking work.
Page 8 of 20 - Agrccment with City of
t
The first part of Section 3.C.2 refers primarily to construction and the second portion,
primarily to pre-development activities. It is correct that the pre-development reviews by
the City and Agency are two separate processes. They can, however, be handled
concurrently and should be coordinated.
R&O #00-7, Section 2.04.3, outlines the Agency's approval timelines. Upon initial
submittal, the Agency shall endeavor to approve, return for revision, or reject it within 15
working days. The Agency shall endeavor to approve, return for revision, or reject
subsequent submittals within 10 working days.
We question why a separate USA approval is necessary if the standards are clearly stated.
Comment Please see response above.
Section 3 is headed "Division of Responsibilities". Subsection C of Section 3 lists
"Additional City Responsibilities". There is no section listing USA responsibilities.
(Again we note we have not seen Appendix A.) Section 3.C.7 requires the City to allow
USA to obtain certain permits from the City without having to pay fees? This provision
should be reciprocal.
Comment The organization of the agreement appears to cover all the topic areas.
Regarding permit fees, the Agency does not have roads where we could reciprocate. No
changes are recommended.
1. Refer Persons who may desire to connect a non-residential use to the
sanitary sewerage system to the Agency. City shall not issue any sanitary
sewer permit to non-residential customers without verification that the
Agency has issued an Industrial Waste discharge permit, or the Agency
has determined that none is required.
2. Refer persons who are proposing 'development', as defined in the
Agency's current version of its Design and Construction Standards
Resolution and Order, to the Agency to obtain a Service Provider Letter.
City shall not issue a stormwater connection permit without verification
from the Agency that the development conforms to adopted Agency
standards, orders, and master plans.
Tualatin Section 3.C.2 reference to Auency's "current" version of its Design and
Construction Standards is too vague. The reference should be to a particular dated
version or at least refer to the document that is in effect at the time the developer is
seeking a Service Provider Letter. Most important: This says that the "City shall not
issue a stormwater connection permit..." It was the City's understanding from David
Noran that USA would be issuing the permits and that the City was merely to refer
developers to USA. If that is not true, we need to be so advised because that changes the
City's position on this process. If it is true, then perhaps we need a definition to know
what a "stormwater connection permit" is and how that is different from what USA will
he issuing,.
Page 9 of 20 -Agreement wiUa City of
Comment Regarding the first comment, the Agency must be able to refer to whatever is
the current version of the D&C Standards, plus the current version of all other rules,
without having to go back to the City for approval of a change to the agreement. Please
see the response to Tigard's comment in Section 1.N for further discussion. Regarding
the second issue of issuing stormwater connection permits, the intent of this language is
to meet the requirements of Agency Ordinance #27 and R&O #00-7, Section 3.01, which
states in part, "All development within USA's jurisdiction must obtain a stormwater
connection permit from the Agency or its designee.... " So the proposed IGA language
is correct. Agency staff is working to clarify the difference between a "connection
permit" and systems development charge, which have been used interchangeably in the
past. Historically, the Agency has delegated to large City staffs the routine authority to
sell, charge, and collect systems development charges. The term connection permit,
however, should be limited to the approval to physically connect to the public system.
3. Provide notice to and obtain Agency review and approval as the Agency
may require for any addition, modification, construction, or
reconstruction (other than repairs) of the publicly-owned sanitary
sewerage system and storm and surface water system, or for any grading
permit, land clearing permit, plat approval, or land use approval prior to
undertaking work or approving such action to ensure conformance to
adopted Agency Standards, Orders, and master plans.
4. Obtain Agency review and approval prior to entering into any agreement
for the use of the Storm and Surface Water System or the Sanitary
Sewerage System.
5. Inform the Agency in writing not less than 30 days prior to initiating or
entering into any agreement for the financing or incurring of
indebtedness relating to the storm and surface water system or the
sanitary sewerage system. City shall not obligate any Agency revenues
of the sewer fund or storm and surface water fund, nor shall facilities of
the sanitary or storm and surface water system be obligated for any debt.
Tualatin Does Section 3.C.5 mean that the City may not use its share of revenues for
debt and if so, why not? Wily does USA care what the City does with its share of the
revenues? If this is meant to refer only to USA's share of revenues, i don't understand
how the City could obligate revenues that does not belong, to it.
Comment The Agency recommends subsection 5 be amended as follows: "Inform the
Agency in writing not less than 30 days prior to initiating or entering into any agreement
for the financing or incurring of indebtedness relating to the storm and surface water
svstem or the sanitary sewerage system. Revenues allocated by the Agency to the City
for the performance of functions identified in Appendix A are considered restricted, and
may only be used to perform those functions (including reasonable administration)
delegated to the City for such things as operation and maintenance of the sanitary or
storm and surface water system. System Development Charge (SDC) revenues allocated
Page 10 of 20 - Agreement with City of
by the Agency to the City may only be expended for the uses identified in the Agency's
SDC mcThodology, and may not be obligated by the City for payment of non-Agency
bonded debt. City shall not obligate any
and suFf ee watef ffina neF shat assets or facilities of the Agency's sanitary or storm and
surface water system be-e>3ligated for any debt."
6. Allow the Agency access at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice
to inspect and test storm and surface water facilities and sewerage
facilities within City.
7. Grant the Agency permits from time to time as may be necessary for the
installation of storm and surface water facilities and sewerage facilities
in the public streets and ways of City without imposing permit issuance
fees, provided that the Agency shall adhere to any conditions required
pursuant to ORS 451.550(6).
8. To issue no new permit for the construction within, or modification to, a
wetland, floodway, or floodplain without first receiving the written
approval by the Agency to do so. This paragraph shall not apply to
permits issued by City pursuant to a current permit under 33 USC
Section 1344(e) (a section 404 general permit), and within the scope of
such permit.
Tualatin In Section 3.C.8, under FEMA rules, the City administers floodway and
floodplain matters. Flow does this paragraph reconcile with FERIA regs? Do we need to
work on this Section?
Comment Regarding the comment that section 3.C.8. may overlap with FEMA
regulations, USA would be happy to review any specific changes that City of Tualatin
might have or to discuss any specific concerns.
9. To pursue, when City deems feasible and appropriate, the conversion of
storm and surface water facilities from private to public ownership,
through the acquisition of easements and other property rights as
necessary, for those privately owned storm and surface water facilities
which are identified as being necessary or appropriately a part of the
public system.
D. City Responsibilities Outside of its City Limits
{ 1. City is not obligated by this agreement to accept responsibility for any
programs or work activities outside of its City limits.
I
2. To the extent City has agreed to responsibilities both inside and outside
of its City limits, for activities which are the responsibility of City, City
shall perform the work to meet tite minimum requirements specified in
Pagc I I of 20 - Agrccmcnt with City of
the Agency's adopted Work Programs and Performance Standards.
When the same type of service is being performed by City both inside
and outside City, the service shall be prioritized and performed in a like
manner in each area, including the response to storms and other
emergencies. The exception shall be if City provides a higher degree of
service inside City due to its own supplemental funding.
Tigard Section D.2 refers to the Agency's Work Programs and Performance Standards.
As discussed above, these should be jointly adopted by USA and the City.
Comment Please see the response to Tigard's comment in Section L N, with no change
to the authority being recommended.
Section 4 Determination and Division of Revenue Operating Procedures and Rules
Relating to Revenue
A. The Agency Board shall determine and certify annually for both the sanitary
sewerage system and for the storm and surface water system the monthly
service charge and system development charge. The City agrees to impose
those charges as a minimum. The City may impose additional charges as
allowed in Section 4.D.4.
B. The Agency Board shall determine and certify annually for both the sanitary
sewerage system and for the storm and surface water system the portion of the
monthly service charge and system development charge to be retained by the
City for performance of the functions defined in this Agreement.
Tigard Section 4.13 should be modified to provide a standard for funding. We
recommend as an additional sentence:
"The portion to be retained by the City shall be sufficient to perform the functions
described in this Agreement".
Comment It is recommended to add the following sentence to the end of subsection B:
"Certification of revenues to be retained by the City will be dependent upon the standard
costs for functions performed by the City and the overall level of revenue available for
allocation."
C. The division of revenue may be adjusted annually by the Agency to recognize
changes in responsibilities after coordination and communication with the
Cities. If there is a change in responsibilities, which the Agency determines to
be significant, the Agency Board may, upon 30 days notice to City, adjust the
division of revenue at any time. Any mid-year changes in the division of
revenue initiated by the Agency Board shall only be done when the Board
determines such a change is necessary to comply with State or Federal
permits, laws or regulations.
Page 12 of 20 - Agrecment with City of
,t
Tigard The provision should be revised to provide 90 days' notice rather than 30 days
notice. Mid-year adjustments should not be permitted because of the effect on adopted
budgets.
Comment Agency agrees to give 60 days notice. City of Tigard commented that mid-
year adjustments should not be allowed. However, the agreement allows mid-year
changes only "when such a change is necessary to comply with State or Federal permits,
laws or regulations." Recommend clarifying the paragraph as follows:
"The division of revenue may be adjusted annually by the Agency to recognize changes
in responsibilities after coordination and communication with the Cities. Changes in the
division of revenue will be done as a part of the normal budget process, except as defined
below.
If there is a mid-year change in responsibilities, which the Agency determines to be
significant, the Agency Board may, upon 60 days notice to City, adjust the division of
revenue at any time. Any such mid-year changes in the division of revenue initiated by
the Agency Board shall only be done when the Board determines such a change is
necessary to comply with State or r„deral permits, laws or regulations."

Comment Fiscal
D. Operating Procedures Relating to Revenue
Tigard The City has not had adequate time to consider all the financial consequences of
the proposed operating procedures relating to revenue and expects to provide additional
comments after further review.
Comment With the recent change in adoption schedule delaying the implementation of
the phase 1 program to July 1, 2001, there should now be adequate time to review the
financial impacts.
1. City shall remit to the Agency the portion of sanitary sewer service
charges and systems development charges collected, and storm and
surface water service charges and systems development charges
collected, as identified in Section 4.13.
~I
2. Payments shall be remitted on a monthly basis, with a report on
Agency designated forms.
3. Payments shall be due upon 30 days of receipt of the revenue by the
billing party, unless the payment has been appealed by the billing
party. If the payment has been appealed by the billing party under the
Page 13 of 20 - Agreement with City of
dispute resolution process of Section 6, the amount in dispute may be
withheld or paid without prejudice to either party.
Tualatin The due date in Section 4.13.3 appears to be a moving target because revenues
would come in at various times through a month. We would prefer a date certain each
month that would give us time to get the paperwork done.
Comment The Agency agrees with the comment and recommends the first sentence be
revised as follows: "Payments to the Agency shall! b of the
revenue collected by the billing party shall be due within 20 days following the end of
each month, unless the payment has been appealed by the billing party."
4. City may charge and collect a service charge or system development
charge at a higher rate per DUE and ESU than that set by the Agency
when the City determines it is needed for the local City system. The
City shall retain 100% of these additional revenues collected. Such
additional charge shall be consistent with the services provided by City
and with applicable federal rules in order to preserve eligibility for
grants and other funding programs.
5. For permit and inspection fees for private development construction of
public storm and surface water facilities and sanitary sewer facilities,
and for erosion control permit fees, City shall remit to the Agency the
fee set forth in Agency's Rates and Charges to compensate the Agency
for its costs for services performed relative to these fees, as prescribed
by Agency Order or agreement with City.
6. For Industrial Waste fees, Agency shall remit to City a percentage of
system development charges, volume, and monthly service charges
collected equal to the percentages of non-industrial fees defined in
Section 4.13. Agency shall retain one-hundred percent (100%) of the
annual permit fee, and any penalty fees, COD, SS (as those terms are
defined in the Rates and Charges) and other fees that may be assessed.
7. City will institute administrative procedures to diligently maintain
regular billings and collection of fees, adjust complaints thereto, and
pursue delinquency follow-ups and take reasonable steps for collection
thereof.
8. City and Agency shall each establish separate accounts for the storm
and surface water program and sanitary sewerage program for the
purpose of accounting for service charges and systems development
charges collected and received pursuant to this agreement.
9. Agency or City may at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice
inspect and audit the books and records of the other with respect to
matters within the purview of this Agreement.
Page 14 of 20 - Agreement with City of
mood
10. City and Agency shall each prepare and submit to each other a
performance report of the storm and surface water functions, and the
sanitary sewer fi:nctions for which each is responsible. Agency will
specify the requirements, frequency, and content of the performance
report.
Tigard Section 4.D.10 must specify the frequency. It cannot be left to the agency to
dictate but must be agreed to by the parties.
Comment The Agency believes we do need to be able to specify everything about the
report. Different types of reports will require different frequencies, and it appears there
will be new reporting requirements mandated by Federal Rules. In addition, the Agency
will pay the costs for the city to prepare the reports, and so the Agency will be prudent in
not requiring overly frequent or time intensive reports. No change is recommended.
11. The City and Agency may, each at its own cost, install permanent and
temporary volume and quality monitoring stations to determine the
effectiveness of City and Agency programs.
12. Interest shall accrue on late payments at a rate of 1.25 times the
monthly Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) earnings rate as
posted for the previous month, and will be applied each month to the
unpaid balance.
Section 5. Administrative and Operating Provisions
A. The Agency will not extend sewer service to areas outside the City except
with prior approval of the City where such areas are included in the Urban
Planning Area Agreement between the City and the appropriate county or
counties and any of the following exists:
a. A new or existing single family property desires sewer service and
needs to directly connect to a sewer line within the city.
b. A new development desires sewer service and needs to directly
connect a lateral or mainline public sewer directly to a sewer line
within the city.
B. City and the Agency will each obtain such insurance contracts as
necessary to cover the liabilities of City and the Agency respectively for
the risks and liabilities arising from activities and operations under this
agreement. Each party hereto shall cause the other to be named as an
additional insured on its policy or policies as to the obligations under the
terms of this agreement. In the event that either party chooses to be self
insured, that party shall maintain and furnish proof of separately identified
Page 15 of 20 - Agreement with City of
and unencumbered reserves for the maximum liability allowed under state
law.
C. Agency will not establish local assessment districts within City, without
first obtaining City approval.
D. Agency will process applications from City pursuant to Section 3.C.7 for
Wetland, Floodplain, and Floodway modifications. Timely review of the
application shall be provided by the Agency. Upon review and approval
by USA, and upon request by City, the Agency shall act as a facilitator
and liaison for State and Federal review and permit processes.
E. Under applicable State law, the obligations for monitoring and reporting
of sanitary sewer overflows to the State rest with the relevant permit
holder, here the Agency; on the other hand, only City can timely obtain
and report the relevant information within its area of responsibility.
Agency therefore agrees not to have City brought under a permit reporting
requirement, and for Agency to maintain that obligation, so long as City
timely reports to Agency the information necessary and appropriate for
Agency to fulfill that reporting obligation. City agrees to reimburse
Agency for any expense, costs, damages, claims, fines, or penalties
incurred by Agency that result from or are related to City's failure to so
timely and adequately report.
Tigard The City has a concern that Section 5.E imposes liability on the City in some
situations in which the City itself lacked information. The section should simply read:
"The City shall report all sanitary sewer overflows that it becomes aware of to the
Agency within 24 hours of learning of the overflow. The City shall require all permittee
of the City to report sanitary sewer overflows to the City."
Comment The change is acceptable.
Tualatin What do "timely" and "adequate" mean in Section 5.E? Need to clarify City's
duty under this section.
Comment It is recommended to use Tigard's proposed language above.
F. City and Agency shall each be responsible for the negligent or wrongful
acts of its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, while performing
work related to this agreement. Each party shall be solely responsible for
defense, costs or payments arising from legal challenge alleging improper
use by that party of funds derived from this agreement, or otherwise held
by that party. Each party shall be responsible for any liability arising out
of its ownership of real property and interests therein, for acting or failing
to act within its Area Of Responsibility, activities governed by an NPDES
permit or other air or water discharge permit issued by competent
authority to that party, and any conduct of that party subject to direct
Page 16 of 20 - Agreement with City of
regulation by state or federal authority. Each party shall fully defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless the other from any expense, costs, damages,
claims, fines, penalties, or liability incurred by or threatened against the
other due to or resulting in whole or in part from the negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party (including its
officers, agents, or employees) under or in connection with or arising from
any work, authority, jurisdiction, or responsibilities delegated to that party
by this Agreement.
G. The City agrees that the Agency has the authority to impose fines and
penalties against the City for non-performance of adopted programs or
non-compliance with Agency, State, or Federal rules and policies. The
procedures by which the Agency considers non-performance or non-
compliance, imposes such fines or penalties, and processes appeals, shall
be set forth in an Agency rule. In this regard, any fines or penalties
assessed by the Agency against a City shall be of the same magnitude as
those set forth in the relevant Oregon Revised Statutes and Oregon
Administrative Rules for fines and penalties imposed by Oregon's
Department of Environmental Quality. The City shall have the right to
appeal any such fines or penalties imposed by the Agency to the Agency's
Board of Directors. Any monetary fines or penalties imposed can not be
paid from the regular Stormwater or Sanitary Sewer Funds retained by the
City, but rather would have to be funded from the City's General Fund or
through additional Stormwater or Sanitary Sewer revenue generated
locally as provided in Section 4.13.4.
Tigard The City does not agree with Section S.G. The last sentence should be deleted.
Comment Penalties can not come from the City's regular storm or sewer fund
allocation, because that would reduce their ability to do a required program element.
Fines and penalties must come from another source. The following is an alternative to
replace the last sentence: "Payment of fines and penalties does not relieve the City from
the responsibility to accomplish the work program."
Tualatin In Section 5.G, how does USA have the authority to impose fines for federal
or state violations? Aren't those the purview of the agency whose rules have been
violated? Further, why should this agreement say that the City may not pay fines or
penalties out of Stormwater or Sanitary Sewer Funds but must be taken from the General
Fund? The Cite council has the sole discretion to determine how City funds should be
spent. We oppose this section in concept.
Comments The Agency is not imposing Federal or State penalties. Regarding where
tines are paid from, see the response to Tigard's comment above.
Ih i~ ,I, :!!:i llow% !t`
Comment As discussed with the Cities, the Agency believes it needs some type of
enibrcement tool short of taking over the entire program.
Page 17 of 20 - Agreement with City of
H. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a limitation upon or
delegation of the statutory and home rule powers of City, nor as a
delegation or limitation of the statutory powers of Agency. This
Agreement shall not limit any right or remedy available to City or Agency
against third parties arising from illegal acts of such third parties.
1. Where this Agreement calls for review or approval of a fee or charge,
Agency shall perform such review in a timely manner, shall not
unreasonably withhold approval, and shall provide its decision to City in
writing. If, within 30 days of written request by City for approval by
Agency, the Agency has failed to provide a written response, the request
shall be deemed approved.
J. To iche extent that it is so required by law or regulation, City shall comply
with Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Chapter 340, Division 49,
"Regulations Pertaining to Certification of Wastewater System Operator
Personnel," including the obligation that City shall have its wastewater
collection system supervised by one or more operators certified at a grade
level equal to or higher than the system classification shown on page 1 of
Agency's NPDES permit, issued by the State. The designated
supervisor(s) shall be available to the system owner and any other
operation of the facility.
Tigard The last sentence of Section 5.J is confusing and unclear.
Comment Agency agrees with the comment and recommends deleting the last sentence
as the topic is already covered in the general statement in the first sentence.
Tigard General comment concerning responsibilities and liabilities. USA appears to be
asking the City to assume substantial additional liability, even though USA is taking over
more of the administration of the system. USA has not provided any good reason why
the City should increase its liabilities without receiving any benefits.
Comment As discussed with the Cities, the Agency recommends that these changes are
needed to insure the continued performance of the storm and sanitary systems and to
meet the current demands and requirement of regulators. These changes are in response
to recommendations from outside Counsel.
Section 6 Dispute Resolution" Remedies
A. In the event of a dispute between the parties regarding their respective
rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the parties shall first
attempt to resolve the dispute by negotiation. If a dispute is not resolved
by negotiation, the exclusive dispute resolution process to be utilized by
the parties shall be as follows:
1. Step 1. Upon failure of those individuals designated by each party
to negotiate on its behalf to reach an agreement or resolve a
Page 18 of 20 - Agreement with City of
dispute, the nature of the dispute shall be put in writing and
submitted to City's Chief Executive Officer and Agency's General
Manager, who shall meet and attempt to resolve the issue. If the
issue in dispute is resolved at this step, there shall be a written
determination of such resolution, signed by City's Chief Executive
Officer and Agency's General Manager, which determination shall
be binding on the parties. Resolution of an issue at this step
requires concurrence of both parties' representatives.
2. Step 2. In the event a dispute cannot be resolved at Step 1, the
matters remaining in dispute after Step 1 shall be reduced to
writing and forwarded to the Mayor and the Chairman of the Board
of Directors. Upon receipt of the written issue statement, the
Mayor and Chairman shall meet and attempt to resolve the issue.
If the issue is resolved at this step, a written determination of such
resolution shall be signed by the Mayor and Chairman. Resolution
of an issue at this step requires concurrence of both the Mayor and
the Chairman.
3. Step 3. In the event a dispute cannot be resolved at Step 2, the
parties shall submit the matter to mediation. The parties shall
attempt to agree on a mediator. In the event they cannot agree, the
parties shall request a list of five (5) mediators from the American
Arbitration Association, or such other entity or firm providing
mediation services to which the parties may further agree. Unless
the parties can mutually agree to a mediator from the list provided,
each party shall strike a name in turn, until only one name remains.
The order of striking names shall be determined by lot. Any
common costs of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties,
who shall each bear their own costs and fees therefor. If the issue
r is resolved at this step, a written determination of such resolution
shall be signed by both parties. Resolution of an issue at this step
requires concurrence by both parties. In the event a dispute is not
resolved by mediation, the aggrieved party may pursue any remedy
available to it under applicable law.
B. Neither party may bring a legal action against the other party to interpret
a or enforce any term of this Agreement in any court unless the party has
„ first attempted to resolve the matter by means of the dispute resolution of
subsection A above. This shall not apply to disputes arising from a cause
other than interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.
Section 7 Effect of this Agreement

such permit.
9. To pursue, when City deems feasible and appropriate, the conversion of
storm and surface water facilities from private to public ownership,
through the acquisition of easements and other property rights as
necessary, for those privately owned storm and surface water facilities
which are identified as being necessary or appropriately a part of the
public system.
D. City Responsibilities Outside of its City Limits
1. City is not obligated by this agreement to accept responsibility for any
programs or work activities outside of its City limits.
2. To the extent City has agreed to responsibilities both inside and outside
of its City limits, for activities which are the responsibility of City, City
shall perform the work to meet the minimum requirements specified in
the Agency's adopted Work Programs and Performance Standards.
When the same type of service is being performed by City both inside
and outside City, the service shall be prioritized and performed in a like
manner in each area, including the response to storms and other
emergencies. The exception shall be if City provides a higher degree.of
service inside City due to its own supplemental funding.
Section 4. Determination and Division of Revenue, Operating Procedures and Rules
Relating to Revenue

Page 10 of 12 - Agreement with City of _
OHIO IMM110
by negotiation, the exclusive dispute resolution process to be utilized by
the parties shall be as follows:
1. Step 1. Upon failure of those individuals designated by each party
to negotiate on its behalf to reach an agreement or resolve a
dispute, the nature of the dispute shall be put in writing and
submitted to City's Chief Executive Officer and Agency's General
Manager, who shall meet and attempt to resolve the issue. If the
issue in dispute is resolved at this step, there shall be a written
determination of such resolution, signed by City's Chief Executive
Officer and Agency's General Manager, which determination shall
be binding on the parties. Resolution of an issue at this step
requires concurrence of both parties' representatives.
2. Step 2. In the event a dispute cannot be resolved at Step 1, the
matters remaining in dispute after Step 1 shall be reduced to
writing and forwarded to the Mayor and the Chairman of the Board
of Directors. Upon receipt of the written issue statement, the
Mayor and Chairman shall meet and attempt to resolve the issue.
If the issue is resolved at this step, a written determination of such
resolution shall be signed by the Mayor and Chairman. Resolution
of an issue at this step requires concurrence of both the Mayor and
the Chairman.
3. Step 3. In the event a dispute cannot be resolved at Step 2, the
parties shall submit the matter to mediation. The parties shall
attempt to agree on a mediator. In the event they cannot agree, the
parties shall request a list of five (5) mediators from the American
Arbitration Association, or such other entity or firm providing
mediation services to which the parties may further agree. Unless
the parties can mutually agree to a mediator from the list provided,
each party shall strike a name in turn, until only one name remains.
The order of striking names shall be determined by lot. Any
common costs of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties,
who shall each bear their own costs and fees therefor. If the issue
is resolved at this step, a written determination of such resolution
shall be signed by both parties. Resolution of an issue at this step
requires concurrence by both parties. In the event a dispute is not
resolved by mediation, the aggrieved party may pursue any remedy
available to it under applicable law.
13. Neither party may bring a legal action against the other party to interpret
or enforce any term of this Agreement in any court unless the party has
first attempted to resolve the matter by means of the dispute resolution of
subsection A above. This shall not apply to disputes arising from a cause
other than interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.
