TIGARD CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS MEETING
March 26, 2002
STUDY SESSION
Meeting was called to order at 6:32 p.m.
Council Present: Mayor Griffith; Councilors Dirksen, Moore, Patton, and
Scheckla
> CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW
City Manager Monahan introduced this item. City Attorney Ramis overviewed
the activity of the City Attorney's office last year. He noted they placed
emphasis on attorney availability and responsiveness. Mr. Ramis also
commented on the value of preventative law to avoid litigation. The attorneys
recognize they are not the policymakers, but strive to be available to staff to
determine options available and how to best implement policy.
Mr. Ramis distributed and reviewed information concerning the annual billings
to the City of Tigard as well as a comparison of legal service costs for other
Oregon cities. This information is on file in the City Recorder's office.
Council discussion followed. It was noted Tigard staff save on legal costs by
first developing a draft product, which is then reviewed by the attorneys.
Communication between the staff and attorney office is good.
City Manager Monahan advised there might be some additional legal expenses
with added juvenile court cases and also expenses if the library bond passes.
Council members complimented Mr. Ramis and the law firm for their
professional demeanor, openness, and acceptance of pursuing new ideas.
The next City Attorney review will be in October 2003.
> UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED LOCAL OPTION LEVY FOR
WASHINGTON COUNTY COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SERVICES (WCCLS)
Library Director Barnes and Finance Director Prosser reviewed this agenda
item. They shared the concerns expressed by the Tigard City Council about
the amount of the proposed levy. Other cities expressed similar concerns. The
original proposal was for $50 million for five years. The current major topic
of discussion with regard to the WCCLS levy Is the manner in which the
COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26, 2002 page i
distribution of funds is calculated. The formula model Is being refigured;
additional work is needed. Once the WCCLS proposal goes to the County,
additional dollars will be added to fund the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
In response to a question from Mayor Griffith, Mr. Prosser advised that the
City of Tigard produces more revenue from its taxpayers than what the Tigard
Library receives back. However, Tigard also gets support from WCCLS central
services.
Discussion followed on the service formula. Council members also noted
concern about the addition of the Regional Arts and Culture Council funding
to the library levy amount. The plan Is for the County to take action on
forwarding the proposed levy amount to voters, and then the Council can give
input either formally or informally. The preference for Tigard Council would
be to give Input before the County has approved the ballot measure.
> PORTLAND POLICE DATA SYSTEM (PPDS) RENEWAL OF
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
Chief of Police Ron Goodpaster reviewed this agenda item. Tigard has been
participating in this system since 1997 and the cost was $1,400 per month;
the new agreement is for $2,400 per month. Since the start of the program,
use has increased dramatically and upgrades have been installed. All
surrounding jurisdictions, with the exception of Clackamas and Washington
Counties (Sheriff offices) participate, which adds to the value of the
information collected and shared.
After discussion, Council consensus was to support continued use of PPDS.
This item will be before Council for formal approval at the April 23, 2002,
Council meeting.
> SELECT CITY MANAGER REVIEW FORMAT
Council discussed this agenda item. Council agreed to use the same format as
last year. Councilor Moore suggested that Council set goals for the Manager
this year.

of the underlying zone district may be approved by the Planning Director when necessary to further the
intent- purpose of this section.
A. Adjustment option. The Planning Director may approve up to a 50% adjustment to any dimensional
standard (e.g., setback, height or lot area) of the underlying zoning district to allow development
consistent with the purposes of this section. The purpose of the
adjustment process is to reduce adverse impacts on wetlands, stream corridors, fish and wildlife
habitat, water quality and the potential for slope of flood hazards.

B. Adjustment a itgna. A special WR-eve :the standards in the
zoning distric . may be requested under Type II procedure when development is proposed within or
adjacent to the WR ever4W disWeE vegetated corridor, area. In order for the Director to approve a
dimensional adjustment to standards in the underlying zoning district, the applicant shall demonstrate
that all of the following criteria are fully satisfied:
1. The adjustment is the minimum necessary to allow a permitted use, while at the same time
minimizing disturbance to a water resource, riparian setback area or water quality buffer.
2. Explicit consideration has been given to maximizing vegetative cover, minimizing excavation and
minimizing impervious surface area on unbuildable land.
3. Design options have been considered to reduce the impacts of development, including but not
limited to multi-story construction, siting of the residence close to the street to reduce driveway
distance, maximizing the use of native landscaping materials, minimizing parking areas and
garage space.
4. In no case shall the impervious surface area as a single-family residence (including the building
footprint, driveway and parking areas, accessory structures, swimming pools and patios) exceed
3,000 square feet of ' a vegetate corridor area.
5. Assurances are in place to guarantee that future development will not encroach further on land
under the same ownership within the VAR ever-lay distFiet vegetated'.co#ridoriar'ea.
The Planning Director may impose any reasonable condition necessary to mitigate identified impacts
resulting from development on otherwise unbuildable land.

only as a last resort.
A. Type III variance option. The Bearings Officer shall hear and decide variances from dimensional
provisions of this chapter under Type III procedure, in accordance with the criteria in Chapter 18.370
of the zoning ordinance.
B. Additional criteria. In addition tot he general variance criteria described in Chapter 18.370, all of the
following additional criteria must be met to grant a variance to any dimensional provision of this
chapter:
1. The variance is necessary to allow reasonable economic use of the subject parcel of land, which is
owned by the applicant, and which was not created after the effective date of this chapter;
Sensitive Lands 18.775-I5 11/2611'98
1111111 11 1111
2. Strict application of the provisions of this chapter would otherwise result in the loss of a buildable
site for a use that is permitted outright in the underlying zoning district, and for which the
applicant has submitted a formal application;
3. The applicant has exhausted all options available under this chapter to relieve the hardship;
4. Based on review of all required studies4derit1ca11t6ahoso described in Section 18.797.060 3.02.5.c
Tier 2 Alternatives Analysis.of• he CAS "Design .and Construction Standards",.the variance is
the minimum necessary to afford relief, considering the potential for increased flood and erosion
hazard, and potential adverse impacts on native vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, and water
quality;
5. Based on review of all required studies identical'to:those described in Section 18.797.060 3:02,5
of the CWS "Design and 'Construction :Standards' , no significant adverse impacts on water
quality, erosion or slope stability will result from approval of this hardship variance, or these
impacts have been mitigated to the greatest extent possible;
6. • Loss of vegetative cover shall be minimized. Any lost vegetative cover shall be replaced on-site,
on a 1 to 1 square foot for square'faot basis, by native vegetation.
' A4018.775.130 Plan Amendment Option
Any owner of property affected by the Goal 5 safehabor (1) protection of significant wetlands and/or (2)
vegetated areas established for the Tualatin River, Fanno Creek, Ball Creek, and the south fork of Ash
Creek may apply for a quasi-judicial comprehensive plan amendment under Type IV procedure. This
amendment must be based on a specific development proposal. The effect of the amendment would be to
remove Goal 5 protection from the property, but not to remove the requirements related to CWS
stormwater connection permit, which must'.be addressed-.separately through4ft °Alternatives Analysis; as
described in Section 3.02.5 of the CWS "Design and.. trUctoni:Standard's". The applicant shall
demonstrate that such an amendment is justified by either of the following:
A. ESEE analysis. The applicant may prepare an Environmental, Social, Economic and Energy (ESEE)
consequences analysis prepared in accordance with OAR 660-23-040.
1. The analysis shall consider the ESEE consequences of allowing the proposed conflicting use,
considering both the impacts on the specific resource site and in comparison with other
comparable sites within he Tigard Planning Area;
2. The ESEE analysis must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Tigard City Council that the
adverse economic consequences of not allowing the conflicting use are sufficient to justify the
loss, or partial loss, of the resource;
3. In particular, ESEE analysis must demonstrate why the use cannot be located on buildable land,
consistent with the provisions of this chapter, and that there are no other sites within the Tigard
Planning area that can meet the specific needs of the proposed use;
4. The ESEE analysis shall be prepared by a team consisting of a wildlife biologist or wetlands
ecologist and a land use planner or land use attorney all of whom are qualified in their respective
fields and experienced in the preparation of Goal 5 ESEE analysis;
Sensitive Lands 18.775-16 11126198
5. If the application is approved, then the ESEE analysis shall be incorporated by reference into the
Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and the Tigard Wetland and Stream Corridor Map shall be amended
to remove the site from the inventory.
B. Determination of "insignificance " In this case, the applicant must demonstrate that the weteF
Fesetwee-sensitiV6 area site(s) no longer meet(s) the applicable significance threshold defined by the
Goal 5 administrative rule, relative to other comparable resources within the Tigard Planning Area.
1. Significance thresholds are described and applied in the addendum to the City of Tigard Local
Wetlands Inventory adopted by reference as part of this chapter.
2. In considering this claim, the Council shall determine that the decline in identified resource
values did not result from a violation of.this chapter or any other provision of the Tigard
Community Development Code.

POLICY
4.1.1 THE CITY SHALL:
a. MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TIGARD'S AIR QUALITY AND
COORDINATE WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND AGENCIES TO REDUCE
AIR POLLUTIONS WITHIN THE PORTLAND-VANCOUVER AIR QUALITY
MAINTENANCE AREA. (AQMA).
b. WHERE APPLICABLE, REQUIRE A STATEMENT FROM THE APPROPRIATE

APPROVAL OF A LAND USE PROPOSAL.
C. APPLY THE MEASURES DESCRIBED IN THE DEQ HANDBOOK FOR
"ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ELEMENTS OF OREGON LOCAL
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANS" TO LAND USE DECISIONS HAVING
THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT AIR QUALITY.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
1. The City shall coordinate with MSD Metro and DEQ to attain and maintain the air quality goal
described in the State Implementation Plan (SIP).
2. The City shall continue to utilize expertise available at the Department of Environmental Quality,
t Metro, and other relevant agencies, to coordinate efforts aimed
at reducing air pollution emission levels in the Tigard and entire Portland Metropolitan Area.
3. Until such time as control strategies are realized, the City of Tigard shall use measures
described in the DEQ Handbook for "Environmental Quality Elements of Oregon Local
Comprehensive Land Use Plans" when planning any development activities having the
potential to directly (by direct emissions) or indirectly (by increasing vehicular travel) affect air
quality.
4. The City shall make every effort to design municipal streets and roadways and to establish
traffic flow patterns which minimize or reduce vehicular emissions.
5. The City shall consult and coordinate with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to
ensure that land uses and activities in Tigard comply with Federal and State air quality
standards.
6. The City shall aim to reduce the quantity of vehicle emissions by pursuing an energy-efficient
urban form which reduces the number of vehicle miles traveled, and by encouraging the use of
alternate modes of transportation, especially mass transit and pedestrian.
4.2 WATER QUALITY
Findings
• The quality of Tigard's surface waters are fair, inasmuch as the waters are not used for drinking
purposes.
• No major point source water polluters threaten local creeks.
• Some infiltration problems exist in the sewage systems.
• Reduction of open space, removal of vegetation cover, and development which increases the
amount of impervious surface all contribute significantly to increases in the peak flows of urban
storm runoff entering storm sewers, creeks and drainageways.
• Offsetting measures can reduce the negative effects of urban development on water quality and
quantity problems. Examples include on-site retention/ detention of storm water, inclusion of
landscape buffer areas adjacent to new development and conservation and improvement of
streamside vegetation along creeks and other water courses.
• Clean Water Services (CWS) is the lead agency for water quality. management within
Washington County.
• By intergovernmental agreement, all the cities within the Clean Water'Services'.servlce
area, Tigard included, must follow the.standards contained in CWS's;Design:and
Construction Manual.
POLICIES
4.2.1 ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE TIGARD URBAN PLANNING AREA SHALL COMPLY
WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND REGIONAL WATER QUALITY
STANDARDS, INCLUDING THOSE CONTAINED IN THE CLEAN WATER SERVICES'
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANUAL.
4.2.2 THE CITY SHALL RECOGNIZE AND ASSUME ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR OPERATING,
PLANNING, AND REGULATING WASTEWATER SYSTEMS AS DESIGNATED IN
MSD'S METRO'S WASTE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT COMPONENT AND-2$9
GRA6-SAX.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
1. In order to improve the water quality and quantity in the Tigard Area, the City shall consider
developing regulations in the Tigard Community Development Code or instituting programs to:
a. Increase public awareness of techniques and practices private individuals can employ to
help correct water quality problems;
b. Improve the management of industrial and commercial operations to reduce negative
water quality impacts;
C. Regulate site planning for new development and construction through the Tigard
Community Development Code to better control drainages and erosion and to manage
storm runoff;

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Update on the proposed local option levy for Washington County Cooperative
Library Services.
PREPARED BY:_ Margaret Barnes DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Additional discussion of the proposed local option levy for Washington County Cooperative Library Services
(WCCLS) and the WCCLS Funding Formula.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The purpose of this presentation is to provide City Council information on the proposed local option levy and the
funding formula.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Both in December 2001 and February 2002 staff presented information to the Council about the proposed $50
million, five-year WCCLS local option levy. This levy would provide operational funding for WCCLS central
services and the eleven public libraries that are members of WCCLS. At prior Council meetings, Council
expressed some concern over the size of the levy, the criteria used to develop the levy amount and the level of
funding proposed for WCCLS central services. These concerns are shared by other member cities.
The Finance Directors of those cities have met several times to clarify the issues about the proposed local option
levy. They have suggested that the proposed levy be rate-based rather than dollar-based. The Cooperative Library
Advisory Board (CLAB) is meeting throughout March to finalize the levy recommendation to forward to the
County Board of Commissioners. The CLAB Formula Committee is also developing a new formula to determine
the distribution of operational funds to the member cities.
Using the existing formula for distribution of operational funds, the Finance Department has analyzed the projected
operational funding the City may receive if the levy passes. It found, that under the current formula, the City of
Tigard would not receive sufficient operating funds for the library. As a result of this analysis, the WCCLS CLAB
Formula Committee, Finance Directors and Library Directors are meeting to develop an alternate formula to
resolve this issue.
Given the concerns expressed about the levy by a number of cities, the Finance Directors and Library Directors are
meeting to determine and justify a levy rate.
At this time, staff is prepared to update the Council on this process.

FROM: Ronald D. Goodpaster
Chief of Police
DATE: March 13, 2002
SUBJECT: Renewal of Intergovernmental Agreement - PPDS
Since 1997, Tigard Police Department has had an intergovernmental agreement
with Portland Police Bureau allowing us to participate in and use the Portland
Police Data System (PPDS), a records management system. The contract will
expire on June 30, 2002. The new contract is attached for review.
As a participant in this regional records management system, information
available to Tigard Police Department is much more extensive than that available
through a single agency records system.
The cost has been $1400 per month, and will be going to $2480 per month. This
reflects the extensive amount of information now available to us through this
system.
If Tigard Police Department made the decision to develop and maintain an
independent records management system, the cost would be much higher than
the cost of participating in PPDS. Of equal importance, the qualtity of accurate
and thorough data available would be considerably less. The limited amount of
data would, in turn, result in much more time required of personnel to find
information through research; and much information would not be available to the
Police Department at all.
The contract renewal will be considered for approval by Council on April 9; 2002.

Metro's Authority to Ensure Compliance with the Functional Plan
Enclosed please find a package (38 pages) of information we received from Metro today in response to your
question related to Metro's authority in implementing/enforcing density requirements specified in the Urban
Growth Management Functional Plan.
In general, Metro has broad authority as regional coordinator of 24 cities and 3 counties. Chapter. II, Section
5(2)(e) of the Metro Charter and ORS 268.390(5) authorize Metro to adopt a program for determining the
consistency of local comprehensive plans with the Regional Framework Plan, including densities for
regional centers, as specified in Metro Code 3.07.170.
It should be noted that Title 8 of the Functional Plan sets forth very broad enforcement authority to ensure
compliance with the Functional Plan. This authority includes, but is not limited to, remedies available in state
statues, Metro Charter, Metro Code and Functional Plan, depending upon individual circumstances.

range on development applications, so long as the
district remains-in compliance with the minimum density
standard used to calculate capacities for compliance
with Table 3.07-1 capacities.
3. No comprehensive plan provision, implementing ordinance
or local process (such as site or design review) may be
applied and no,condition of approval may be imposed
that would have the effect of reducing the minimum den-
sity standard.
4. For high density zones with maximum zoned density
higher than 37 dwelling units per net acre, the minimum
residential density may be 30 dwelling units per net
acre.
5. This minimum density requirement does not apply
(1) outside the urban growth boundary, (2) inside areas
designated as open space on the attached Open Spaces
Map 2, and (3) inside areas designated as unbuildable on
the attached Open Spaces Map. The maximum zoned den-
sity does not include the density bonus for zones that
allow them.
B. Cities and counties shall not prohibit partitioning or sub-
dividing inside the Metro urban growth boundary where
existing lot sizes are two or more times that of the minimum
lot size in the development code.

dential development at greater than 80 percent of
maximum zoned residential density.
3. Cities and counties calculating capacity through the
use of density bonus provisions may consider transfers,
including off-site transfers, only upon demonstration
that previous approvals of all density transfers within
the past 5 years have resulted in an average of at
least 80 percent of maximum zoned densities actually
being built.
4. The capacity calculation shall use only those develop-
ment types that are allowed in the development code.
Any discretionary decision must not diminish the zoned
density if it is to be counted as a part of calculated
capacity; and
5. Cities and counties, in coordination with special
districts, shall demonstrate that they have reviewed
their public facility capacities and plans to assure
that planned public facilities can be provided, to
accommodate the calculated capacity within the plan
period.
B. Calculate the increases in dwelling unit and job capacities
by the year 2017 from any proposed changes to the current
comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances that must be
adopted to comply with section 3.07.120 of this title and
add the increases to the calculation of expected.capacities.
C. Determine the effect of each of the following 'on calculated
.capacities, and include any resulting increase or decrease
in calculated capacities:
1. Required dedications for public streets, consistent
with the Regional Accessibility Title;
2. Off-street parking requirements, consistent with this

3. Landscaping, setback, and maximum lot coverage require-
ments;
4.. The effects of tree preservation ordinances, environ-
mental protection ordinances, view preservation
ordinances, solar access ordinances, or any other regu-
lations that may have the effect of reducing the
capacity of the land to develop at the zoned density;

75 Functional Plans
Functional plans are limited purpose plans, consistent with this Framework Plan, which address
designa'A areas and wtivities of wetropofitan concern. Functional plans are established in state
lavi as a way Mcko may recommend or require changes in local plains. This Framework Pluea
lases Amctional plans as the identified vehicle for requiring changes in local plans in order to
achieve consistence and compliance with this Framework Plan.
Whose functional plans or functional plan provisions containing recommendations for
compseicnsive planning by cities and counties may not be final land use decisions. If a
provision in a functional plan, or an action implementing a functional plan require changes in an
adopted and acknowledged comprehensive Phan, then the'adoption of a provision or action will
be a final land use decision. If a provision in a functional plan, or Matto action irnplemmnft a
functional plan acquire
changes in an adopted and acknowledged comprehensive plan, they that
provision or action will be adopted by Metro as a final land use action rewired to be consistent
with statewide planning goals. in addition, Regional Framework Plan eomponeants will be
adopted as fonctionalvlans if they contain recommendations or requirements for changes in
cOmFehewive plans. These functional plans, which are adopted as part of the Regional
Framework Plan, will be submitted along with other parts of the Regional Framework Plan to
LCDC for ac3mowledgment of their compliance with the statewide planning goals. geca'use
functional plans are the way Metro recommends or requires local plan changes, most Regional
Fin. niewgork Plan components will probably be functional plans. Until Regional Framework Plan
c omponents are adopted, existing or new functional plans will continue to recommend or require
changes in comprehensive plans.
o Ming Functional Plans. Metro shall continue to develop, amend and implement, with
the assistance of cities, counties, special districts and the state, statutory-requited
functional plans for air, water and transportation, as directed by ORS 268390(1) and for
land use planning aspects of solid waste management as mandated by ORS Ch. 459.
• New Functional Plans. New functional plans shall be proposed from one of two sources: .
a MPAC may recommend that the Metro Council designate an area or activity of
metropolitan concern for which a funct ional plan should be prepared; or
® the Metro Council may propose the preparation of a functional plan to designate
an area or activity of metropolitan concern and refer that proposal to MPAC.
The matters required by the Charter to be addressed in the Regional Framework Plan shall
constitute sufficient factual reasons for the development of a functional plan under ORS 269.390.
However, the actual adoption of a functional plan will be subject to the procedures specified
above.
Upon the Metro Council adopting factual reasons for the development of a new functional plan,
MPAC shall participate in the prgaration of the plan, consistent with these goals and objectives

PROPOSED REVDIONS TO ORDINANCE NO.01-925
C
Metro staffmet twice with MTAC and twice with a subcommittee of MTAC to consider remaining
concerns with the draft ordinance. The version of the ordinance that accompanies this report includes
proposed revisions to respond to those.cancerms. With two exceptim noted below, the text underlined or
lined out are these revisions. Each is discussed briefly, below.
Attached to this dcscripike of proposed changes is an updated version of the November 15, 2001,
sa tlQn,by-section explanation of the ordain to reflect envisions. ardopted by the Council and these
proposed revisiotm
1. Subsection 3.07.810F
The revision makes clear that a local amendment that is submitted to DLCD in periodic review will be
deemed to comply with the functional plan if it is acknowledged by the agency.
2. Subsection 3.07.8101:3
This revision changes the reference to 3.07.820A, where the requirement to submit proposed amendments
lies, given the proposed elimination of 3.07.870A (see below).
3. Subsection 3.07.820A
The first revision would clarify which local proposed plan or regulation amendments crust be submitted
to Metro by reference to state law requirements for submission ofproposed amendments to the
Department of Land Conservation and DevelopmcnL
4. The second revision changes the current code requirement that a local government submit, with the
proposed amendment, an analysis of how it complies with the functional plan. If adopted, a local
government would submit an analysis only if requested by the Executive Ofiioas. Cities and counties will
not have to submit an analysis ifthe Metro staff has no eoncerns.with a proposed amendment.

RE: Metro Enforcement of Aegional'Tcquirtments"
Dear Chair Blosser and Commission Members:
At your June work session on Regional Framework Plan acknowledgment, you asked for a
discussion of Metro's ability to assure that cities and counties amend their comprehensive
plans to implement Metro 'I requirements." As we discussed at that time, February 1999
Functional Plan deadlines have been partially fret. The deadlines were not ignored. Time
extensions were granted based on demonstrated progress in each jurisdiction. Cities and
counties through MPAC, have recommended all of the current functional plan
requirements applied to them. Coordination, not enforcement, has been Metro's emphasis.
However, this letter responds to your request for a discussion of Motro's "biWorcement" '
powers.
Tlae Regional Framework Plan contains both UGB amendment policies and procedures and
functional plan requirements for other changes to comprehensive plans. UGB amendments
amend those City and county comprehensive plans located in the vicinity of the regional
UGB amendments Changes in those affected comprehensive plans are required for the plan
to remain in compliance with statewide Goals. Compliance with.regionwide functional
plan requirements require amendments to city. and county comprehensive plans if a
particular plan is not already in compliance. Metro's UGB amendment and functional plan
ordinances are regional laws, applicable to city and county comprehensive plan amendment
decisions.
LUBA Appeal of Reg oval Law Violation
Changes in comprehensive plans which violate a functional plan requirement may be '
appealed to LUBA by Metro, or a third party participating in the decision. Therefore,
Metro's position on most such amendments is. solicited by the city or county for their
decision record. This is analogous to DLCD post-acknowledgment enforcement of the

statewide Goals in comprehensive plan amendments. Metro's Functional Plan requires
that cities and counties give Metro the same 45-day notice that they are required to give
-DLCD under state law. Both Metro and DLCD may participate in a comprehensive plan
amendment decision for a plan affected by regional UGB amendment. If any
comprehensive plan amendment does not comply with the statewide Goals, either DLCD.
or Metro could appeal to LUBA.
Metro Council Inteipxvfation Action
An aid to Metro's ability to participate in and appeal comprehensive plan amendment.
decisions is the Council's inherent authority to act to interpret its own ordinances to
determine applicable regional.law. Such an interpretation by Metro as the maker of a
regional requirement is entitled to deference under state law. Such an interpretation action
could be included in Metro participation in a comprehensive plan amendment decision
record to enhance Metro's position in any LUBA appeal of the city or county's final action.
Metro Coordination Action
Metro has broad authority as regional coordinator of 24 cities' and three counties'
comprehensive plans. Metro is "responsible for coordinating all planning activities .
affecting land uses within the (region). ' ORS 195.023(1), 268.385. Following litigation in
Ci-•iy of Portland v. Washington County that interpreted coordination law, the Metro
Council adopted the only formal Metro caordinaisori action under this authority. It
required the comprehensive plans of Portland, Beaverton and Washington County to reflect
the same urban service area between Portland and unincorporated Washington County near
Beaverton. That action required all three plans to be amended.
If a neighboring city has complied with a functional plan requirement and a recalcitrant
city or county either takes no action, or adopts a conflicting provision, Metro can act to
coordinate the two or more plans. This is a proactive authority that allows Metro to require
a coordinated approach to implementing regional requirements consistent with statewide
Goals. This is significant because there maybe several alternative approaches that would
meet the minimum requirements of applicable statewide Gals.
Post-Acknowledg rx ient ramework Plan Implementation - ORS 268.39Lu5)
Only regional goals and objectives (RUGGO) and the Regional Framework Plan ORM .
may be acknowledged for compliance. with statewide Goals. ORS 197.015(1). Currently,
Metro's Functional Plan is unacknowledged. Because the Functionai'Plan is part of the
RFP, Functional Plan requirements for changes in comprehensive plans will become
acknowledged by Commission actions.

This acknowledgment of the RFP, including functional plans, is'the result desired by the
voter-approved 1992 Metro Charter. The Charter was drafted by a citizen Charter
Committee, not Metro. Statutory amendments were requited after voter approval of the
Charter to allow Commission acknowledgment of a.plan other than city and county
comprehensive plans. One of these amendments, in a bill requested by a Charter
Committee member and adopted unanimously by the 1997 Legislature, repeats a portion of
the Metro Charter on RFP implementation in ORS 268.390(5):
(5) Pursuant to a regional framework plan, a district may adopt
implementing ordinances that:
(a) Require local comprehensive plans and implementing
regulations to comply with the regional framework plan within iwo years after
compliance acknowledgment.
(b) Require adjudication and determination by the district of the
consistency of local. comprehensive plans with the regional framework plan.
(c) Require each city and county within the jurisdiction of the
district and making land use decisions concerning lands within the land use
jurisdiction of the district to make those decisions consistent with the regional
famework plan. The obligation to apply the regional framework plan to land
use decisions shall not begin until one year after the regional framework plan is
acknowledged as complying with the statewide planning goals adopted under
ORS chapters 195, 196 and 197.
(d) Require changes in local land use standards and procedures if
the district determines that changes are necessary to remedy a pattern or practice
of decision-malting inconsistent with the regional framework plan.
(6) The regional famework plan, ordimaces that implement the
regional framework plan $nd any determination by the district of consistency
with the regional framework plan are subject to review under ORS 197.274.
RU Implementing Ordinance: (5)(h) Adjudication
The Metro Charter and state law allow Metro to adopt ordinances implementing the RF1P
which `require adjudication and determination (by Metro). of the consistency of local
comprehensive plans with the regional framework plan." Metro has broad discretion in its
approach and process for accomplishing: a• regional version of "regional acknowledgment"
for compliance with regional requirements in the RFP, including functional plan
requirements. Subsection (6) makes Metro's determinations here subject to Commission

review under ORS 197.274. Rather than a separate initial Commission acknowledgment of
Metro's determination of city or county plan compliance with t1to RFP, these Metro
adjudications can be added to the RFP, triggering post acknowledgment review. ORS
107.274(1)(6)..
RFC' 1molerYreaiting1nance• Sfe1 Require Decisions to Corxavly With the RFP
The Metro Charter and state law allow Metro to adopt ordinances requiring land use
decisions, not just comprehensive plan amendments, to be made consistent with the RFP.
Combined with-an interpretation of an applicable Framework Plan provision, such a Metro
ordinance could be the basis for court enforcement against a city or county decision which
violates regional law. This mallces clarifications of the applicability of RFP requirements
important. The RFP restates RUGaos, as required by law. These policy statements are
not ciurently applicable to city and county land use decisions until so required by a
functional plan provision. Bee RU", Goal 1.
Hopefully, this is responsive to your concern that Metro is not forced to rely on voluntary
compliance with regional requirements.

DATE: September 14, 1999
TO: Mary Weber - Growth Management
FROM: Ken Helm - Assistant Counsel
SUBJECT: Implications of Local Government Failure to Comply with the
Urban Growth Management Functional Plan
Introduction - You have asked what enforcement options exist for Metro ita local
government is in violation of the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (Functional
Plan) requirement to amend comprehensive plains and implementing ordinances within two
years of adoption of the Functional Plan. There are a multitude of hypothetical situations
that could cause this issue to arise in which the outcome could vary depending on
individual facts. As a result, this memo will discuss some tools available to Metro based
on the assumption that a local government has allowed the deadline for compliance with
the Functional Plan to expire and has not received an extension.
Metro Options - Title 8 of the Functional Plan sets forth very broad enforcement authority
to ensure compliance with the Functional Plan. Metro Code section 3.07.860(6) states;
"failure to amend comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances as required by
¢i enforcement actions authorized
section 3.07810 ofthis title shall be subject to anx► an
by law " This authority includes, but is not limited to, remedies available in state statute,
RUGGO, Metro Charter, Metro Code and Functional Plans depending upon the individual
circumstances.
Although there are sevexal enforcement mechanisms available to Metro, it is important to
remember that in instances where a local government adopts cornprebensivo plan
a~enrl,~•.:.:~ 0 6lllu JMAYiV&yiV4►I1ib G:'...-a laRs which violate the Functional Plan, Metro must
act proactively to appeal those amendments. If Metro does not set to appeal such
violations.the local plan and ordinance amendments would become acknowledged through
the post-acknowledgment process in ORS 197.625 and thereafter be substantially insulated
from future review. The remedies discussed below could be considered after an appeal was
filed or where a recalcitrant local government simply refuses to make any comprehensive
plan changes to comply with the Functional Plan.
The first tool anticipated by the Functional Plan is the dispute resolution process set forth
in Metro's Regional Growth Goals and Objectives - Objective 5.3. The dispute resolution
process maybe initiated by Metro - RUGGO Objective 5.3.1. This process begins with the
• _ 1
voicninc IUn 16:U0 rAA OUA /UY lrat HICIHU GUNERAL COUNSEL 19020
Metro Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) which would hold hearings and submit a
report to the full Metro Council on a local government's failure to comply with the
Functional Dim The Metro Council would then hold more.hearings after which it could
take one of three courses: (1) amend the Functional Plan, (2) require the local government
to amend its comprehensive plan, or (3) find that no inconsistency exists between the
comprehensive plan and the Functional Plan.
Another tool would be for Metro to exercise its coordination authority under ORS 268385
and 195.025(1). The coordination power has been well recognized by they Land Use Board
of Appeals and the Oregon Court of Appeals. Metro may require changes in a particular
local government's comprehensive plan and implementing ordinances to make them
consistent with the plans of neighbor jurisdictions. Sec, Qy ofPortland v Washington
County, 27 Or LUBA 176 (1994). Ka local government amends its comprehensive plan in
violation of the Functional Plan, or refuses to make conforming amendments, Metro could
require that jurisdiction to change its plan to be consistent with neighbor goverment plans
which have already been amended or have received extensions to comply with the
Functional Plan.
Yet another consequence, if not a remedy, of failure to comply with the Functional Plan is
the ability of Metro pnd third parties to appeal individual land use approvals to LUBA. for
failure to comply with regional law. The potential for such appeals is likely to have the
most impact on development applicants because they will no longer have certainty that the
local government's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance are sufficient to comply with
the regional law set forth in the Functional Plan.*
Contrast to Regional Rramework Plan - Metro's statutory authorities to enforce
functional plans are distinct from its authoritios to implement and enforce the Regional
Framework Plan. (Seer September 2, 1099 letter to LCDC). Pursuant to a functional plan,
Metro is authorized to "recommend or require" changes in local comprehensive plans and
implementing ordinances. ORS 268.390(2) and (4). This authority is separate from
Metro's authority to require compliance with the RFP and for Metro to adjudicate
consistency of comprehensive plans with the RFP after the RFP is acknowledged by the
Land Conservation and Development Commission. ORS 268.390(5). The RFP is currently .
pending for acknowledgment before LCDC.

RE: Metro Enforcement of Regional ` Requimments"
On Monday HTAC asked for a discussion of Metro's ability tb assure that cities
and counties amend their comprehensive plans to implement Metro "requirements."
February 1999 Functional Flan deadlines have been partially met. The deadlines were not
ignored. Time eictensions have been granted based on demonstrated progress in each
jurisdiction. Cities and counties through MPAC, have recommended all of the current
functional plan requirements which apply. to them. Coordination, not enforcement, has
been Metro's emphasis. However, this responds to requests for a discussion of Metro's
"enforcement" powers.
Regional Requirements
The Regional Framework Plan contains both UGB amendment policies and
procedures and funct onal.plan requirements for other changes-to comprehensive plans.
UGB amendments amend those city and county comprehensive plans located in the
vicinity of the regional UGB amendment Changes m those comprehensive plans affected
by functional plan requirements and UGB amendments may be required for the local plans
to remain in compliance with statewide Goals. Compliance with =81onwide functional
plan requirements may require amendments to city and county comprehensive plans if a
particular plan is not already in compliance. Metro's UGB amendment and functional plan
ordinances are regional laws, applicable to city and county comprehensive plan amendment
decisions.

LUBA Anneal of Regional. Law Violation
Changes in comprehensive plans which violate a functional plan requirement may
be appealed to LUBA by Metro, or a third party participating in the decision. Therefoi-e,
Metro's position on most such amendments is solicited by the city or county for their
decision record. This is analogous to DLCD post acknowledgment enforcement of the
state-wide Goals in comprehensive plan amendments. Metro's FUnctional Plan requires
that cities and counties give Metro the same 45-day notice that they are required to give
DLCD under state lave. Both Metro and DLCD may participate in a comprehensive plan
amendment decision for a plan affected by regional UGB amendment. If any such
comprehensive plan amendment does not comply with the statewide Goals, either DLCD .
or Metro could appeal' to LUBA.
Metro Council Interpretation Action '
An aid to Metro's ability to participate in and appeal comprehensive plan
.amendment decisions is the doun6il's inherent authority to act to interpret its own
ordinances to determine applicable regional law. Such an interpretation by Metro as the
maker of a regional requirement is entitled to. deference under state law. Such an
interpretation action could be included in Metro participation in a comprehensive plan
amendment decision record to enhance Metro's position in any LUBA appeal of the city or
county's final action.
Metro Coordination Action - ORS 195.025(1)
Metro has broad authority as regional coordinator of 24 cities' and three counties'
comprehensive plans. Metro is "responsible for coordinating all planning activities
affecting land uses within the [region]." (Emphasis added.) ORS 195.025(l),268-385.
Following litigation in City ofPortland v Washington County which interpreted
coordination law, the Metro Council adopted the only formal Metro coordination action
under this authority. It required the comprehensive plans of Portland, Beaverton and
Washington County to reflect the same urban service area between Portland and
unincorporated Washington County new Beaverton. -That action required all three plans to
be aimended to comply with Metro's coordination action.
If a neighboring city has complied with a fmcdonal plan requirement and a
recalcitrant city or county either takes no action, or adopts a conflicting provision, Metro
can act to coordinate the two or more plans: Regional coordination of planning activities
in state law is a proactive authority that allows Metro to require one coordinated approach-
to implementing regional requirements consistent with statewide Goals. This is significant
because there may be several alternative approaches.that would meet the rnini'mum
requirements of applicable statewide Goals which would not be the same across the region
or subregion.

Senior Assistant Counsel
RE: Exceptions and Extensions
ORS 268.380 and 268.390 contemplate and the Metro Charter (Chapter 2, section 5(2)(e))
requires adoption by Metro of a system to ensure compliance with the Regional Framework Plan
and functional plans. The system.should help Metro evaluate and adjust the plans, if necessary,
following each five-year analysis of the supply of buildable land.
The current code has some of the elements of such a system. But the system is not complete and
the elements are disconnected. ' A compliance system should have the following elements:
• Compliance review:. Metro will determine how a city or county is doing on
compliance with functional plan requirements
• Extensions: Metro will give a city or county more time to comply under certain
circumstances and conditions
• ]Exceptions: Metro will relieve a city or county of responsibility to satisfy a
functional plan requirement under certain circumstances and conditions
• Enforcement: Metro will take enforcement action if a city or county refuses to
comply.
Here are three stages of a straightforward compliance review process: (1) Metro staff review; (2)
MPAC review; and (3) Metro Council review. At each stage, the local government whose plan
is being reviewed may choose from two or more options.'A diagram and code language
accompany this outline.
Stage I: Metro Staff Review
Metro Staff and the city or county evaluate the plan provisions and land use regulations proposed
by the city or county to comply with a fmctional plan requirement. If Metro star' concludes that
the provisions comply, Metro issues an order of compliance, subject to appeal to the Council. If
Metro staff concludes the provisions do not comply, the city or county may seek an extension to
do further work, may seek review by MPAC, or may choose to take no action and face
enforcement. If the city or county seeks an extension, the Metro staff may grant one*, subject to
appeal to the Council.
Stage II: Review by Metropolitan Policy Advisory Council
MPAC reviews the noncompliance in the manner set forth in RUGGO 5.3 and Policy 7.5 of the
Regional Framework Plan. If the MPAC review results in agreement, Metro may issue an order
03/26/02 TUB 12:08 FAX 503 797 1792 HETR0 GENERAL COUNSEL IM 032
Of compliance, subject to appeal to the Council. If there is go agreement, the city or county.may
seek an extension, may seek review by the Colmcil, or may choose to take no action and face
c0omement If the city or county seeks an extension, the Metro staff'may grant one*, subject to
appeal to the Council.
Stage III: Review by the Metro Council
The Council reviews the noncompliance, considering any recommendation from MPAC. IF the
Council concludes that the provisions comply, Metro issues an order of compliance, appealable
to LUBA. If the Council concludes the provisions do no. t comply, the city or county may seek an
extension or an exception. The Council may grant either an extension* or an exception**,
subject to appeal to LUBA, The city or county may take no action and face enforcement.
Finally, the Council may conclude that the functional plan should be amended and commence

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: 68th Parkway 0, Atlanta Street Public Right-of-Way Vacation (VAC2002-00001)
PREPARED BY: Mathew Scheidener DEPT HEAD OK * MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City Council initiate the vacation proceedings for an approximately 1,915 square foot portion of public
right-of-way commonly known as SW 68th Parkway?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council initiate vacation proceedings by adopting the attached Resolution which sets a
formal public hearing date on the vacation for May 28, 2002.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
In the City vacation process of streets, easements and other public dedicated areas, the City Council begins the
process by passing a Resolution to schedule a formal public hearing to consider such requests.
AKS Engineering & Forestry, the agent for the adjacent property owner Malcolm Eslinger, is requesting that the
City Council initiate vacation proceedings for a portion of SW 68th Parkway at SW Atlanta Street. Their request is
outlined in Attachment #2. In summary, this will make it easier for the owner of the adjacent parcel to the west
(Eslinger) to develop according to the Tigard Triangle Design Standards. However, a public storm line lies within
the northeast corner of the public right-of-way to be vacated. A public storm water easement will be granted to the
City concurrently with the right-of-way vacation, that will encompass approximately 7.5 feet on both sides of the
existing stormpipe. The right-of-way width is currently 70 feet from centerline at the intersection of SW 68th
Parkway and SW Atlanta Street. The Tigard Triangle standard width for SW 68th Parkway is approximatly 35 feet
from centerline. Therefore, the requested vacation would meet the right-of-way width standards for the Tigard
Triangle except for a 37.5 square foot portion of the Eslinger property which has been proposed by the applicant to
be dedicated to the City as part of this vacation. Appropriate agencies shall be contacted for their comments prior
to developing a report for Council consideration.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Take no action at this time.
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
Not applicable.

RE. Baylor Court II, Proposed Commercial Development
Council:
The purpose of this letter is to formally request that the City of Tigard initiate the vacation process for
the public right-of-way along the frontage of SW 68`h Avenue abutting the property described as tax lot
900 (tax map IS 136DD), Washington County. The right-of-way width is wider than the City standard
for SW 68`h Avenue (70 feet), as shown on the attached legal descriptions. This situation does not
allow the applicant to meet the intent of the City of Tigard's Development Code for the Tigard
Triangle. The Tigard Triangle rules encourage buildings to be built abutting public streets. The
current right of way creates a "buffer" between the property and SW 68`h Avenue. The proposed right-
of-way vacation will allow the applicant to place the building closer to SW 68`h Avenue.
There is an existing public storm line that lies within the northeast corner of the public Right-of-Way to
be vacated. A public storm water easement will be granted to the City of Tigard concurrently with the
Right-of-Way vacation, that will encompass approximately 7.5 feet on each side of the existing storm
pipe, in accordance with the attached legal description.
The applicant, Malcolm & Sharon Eslinger, LLC., is requesting that the existing public right-of-way as
described in the attached legal description be vacated and consolidated into tax lot IS 136DD00900.
Please call if you have any questions or comments.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE A resolution approving budget amendment #8 to the FY 2001-02 budget to
appropriate an Oregon State Library grant in the amount of $16,200 for the Hispanic youth initiative
PREPARED BY: Craig Prosser _ DEPT HEAD OK CT CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council amend the FY 2001-02 City budget to allow expenditure of the Library Services Technical Act
grant in the amount of $16,200.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Budget Amendment #8.
INFORMATION SUNIMARY
In August 2001, the Tigard City Library submitted an application for a grant from the Library Services and
Technology Act (LSTA), administered by the Oregon State Library to help pay for enhanced services to Hispanic
Youth. The Library developed a program to enhance Hispanic youth awareness of Library materials and services,
provide on-line Spanish-language resources through dedicated computers, and improve the Library's Hispanic
collection. These efforts are all designed to help reduce the drop-out rate among Hispanic students, who constitute
the majority of drop-outs from Tigard High School.
The total program developed by the Library is projected to cost $27,200. LSTA requires a local match for its
grants. The Library was able to apply for a grant of $16,200 to help pay for this program. The balance of the
program cost will be provided by existing library resources. The Oregon State Library awarded this grant to the
Tigard Library on February 22, 2002.
This resolution amends the FY 2001-02 Budget of the City of Tigard to recognize the grant revenues of $16,200
and to increase the appropriation of the Library by that same amount so that it can carry out the Hispanic Youth
Initiative program.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not accept the grant or amend the Budget. The Hispanic Youth Initiative would have to be severely
curtailed or eliminated.

the Wall Street Project to the gRproved CIP.
C.9 oOQ t4d"p,..-~
PREPARED BY: Craig Pi`osser/A.P. Duenas DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City Council approve the addition of a new CIP project in the Traffic Impact Fee Fund for the proposed
Wall Street Project?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Add the Wall Street Project to the FY 2001-02 CIP project list by passing the attached resolution approving Budget
Amendment #9.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City has identified a site on Hall Boulevard for the placement of a new City Library, and has signed an option
to purchase that property if voters approve the issuance of General Obligation bonds for the Library project. As
part of the land purchase, the City has agreed to work with the major property owner in the area to extend Wall
Street from Hunziker Street to Hall Boulevard. The construction of Wall Street is eligible for Traffic Impact Fee
(TIF) funding. The project is proposed for funding through formation of a Local Improvement District (LID). The
City has agreed to cover the engineering and construction management costs for the project. Through Resolution
No. 02-11, City Council directed the preparation of a Preliminary Engineer's Report for the proposed LID and
authorized the use of TIF fiends for the engineering and construction management of the proposed LID
improvements.
The Wall Street Project was not anticipated in the FY 2001-02 CEP, and the CEP must be amended to add this
project. The Preliminary Engineer's Report and a significant portion of the preliminary engineering on the project
are anticipated to cost $325,000. Of this amount, $50,000 is anticipated to be spent in FY 2001-02, with the
balance to be budgeted for FY 2002-03. The Capital Improvement Program budget in the Traffic Impact Fee Fund
needs to be amended in FY 2001-02 to add the $50,000 for the Wall Street Project.
The approval of this budget amendment would allow the City Engineer to move ahead with the consultant selection
process to contract with an engineering consultant for the preparation of the Preliminary Engineer's Report.
i
i
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None. The purchase option signed with the property owner requires the City to work the major property owner
towards formation of the LID. The Preliminary Engineer's Report would further determine the feasibility of
forming the LID for constructing these improvements. The findings of the report would provide Council with
sufficient information to decide whether or not to move ahead with the LID formation.
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
The proposed extension of Wall Street from Hunziker Street to Hall Boulevard meets the Tigard Beyond
Tomorrow goal of Improve Traffic Flow by providing a new road that relieves congestion at the
Hall/Hunziker/Scoffins intersections.
ATTACHMENT LIST
o Resolution for approval of Budget Amendment #4.
s Resolution No. 02-11
FISCAL NOTES
The amount of $325,000 would allow for the preparation of the Preliminary Engineer's Report, including
engineering plans in sufficient detail to provide relatively accurate cost estimates and at a level of detail
required for the various permit applications. The Traffic Impact Fee is the designated source of funds for the
preparation of the report. Out of this amount, $50,000 is anticipated to be spent in FY 2001-02.

Bid Alternates
Alternate 1A and Alternate 2A, consists of the Restroom/Conc;ession Building being constructed without
the concession portion of the building.
Alternate 1 B and Alternate 2B consists of the Restroom/Concession Building being constructed with the
concession portion of the building.
The only difference between the Alternate 1A & 1 B group from the Alternate 2A & 2B group is the time
the City has to make the award. If Alternate 1A or 1B are awarded, the award must be made within the
normal contract requirement of 45 days after bid opening. If Altemate 2A or 2B are awarded, the award
must be made within 120 days after bid opening.
Bid Documents
The Advertisement for Bids and the Notice to Contractors both state that "Bids shall be submitted intact
with the entire contract documents". Four of the six bids were submitted with the completed proposal
section of the contract documents and the other required submittal items. They did not include the
"entire contract document". However, neither the Bidder's Checklist, Proposal, nor anywhere else in the
contract documents is it stated that submittal of the "entire contract document" is required for a
responsive bid. APWA, Section 102.2.00 Contents of Proposal Form, last paragraph, states "The plan,
specifications, and other documents designated in the proposal form will be considered part of the
proposal whether attached or not".
The City has in the past accepted bids without the entire contract documents being submitted and to our
knowledge has never rejected a bid based on the this issue. We believe that the lack of "entire contract
document" being submitted is an informality or irregularity that does not effect rights of any bidder or of
the City and recommend waiving this requirement.
Review Comments by Bidder
Robert Gray Partners, Inc.
Robert Gray Partners did not submit the entire contract document with their bid. Their bid had several
rounding and math mistakes. Schedule 6 had several unit price changes that were not initialed by the
bidder.
The bid items 6.1 - 6.4, the reclaimed water piping are all low and may be a mistake. The dollar amount
for Alternate 1A and 2A appears to be low and may be a mistake.
First Cascade Corporation
First Cascade Corporation did not submit the entire contract document with their bid. They did not turn
in the Addendum Acknowledgement Form with their bid. However, they did submit full copies of each
Addendum with Ford Graphics Cover Sheet that was signed in acknowledgement of receipt. The
contract documents state under Notice to Contractors, Bidding Requirements, No. 3 "Bidder's
Acknowledgement of project addenda", however in the Bidder's Checklist it states "Acknowledgement of
CESINW, Inc.
COOK PARK EXPANSION PHASE 2
Page 3
Addenda Form". We believe they complied with the requirement to acknowledge receipt of all project
addenda.
In Schedule 3 we found a "white out" correction that was not initialed.
The bid item 1.6 Soft Spot Repair is high at $43.60/CY and the quantity could change depending on site
conditions. The bid item 1.14 the bike rack is $654, which is less than what we understand the materials
to cost. This may be a mistake that the bidder believes the City will provide the bike rack. The bid item
4.1 Tot Lot is low at $16,951.68 and may be a mistake where the bidder believed the City was to provide
the rubber tiles. We understand the materials alone for the rubber tiles to cost more that the total bid for
the tot lot.
Grady, Harper & Carlson, Inc.
Grady, Harper & Carlson did not submit the entire contract document with their bid. Their bid had a
couple of "white-out" changes to unit prices without being initialed by the bidder. It appears that the bid
numbers were written by the same person who filled out the bid proposal.
The bid item 1.6 Soft Spot Repair is high at $49.30/CY and the quantity could change depending on site
conditions. The bid item 1.14 the bike rack is $180, which is less than what we understand the materials
to cost. This may be a mistake that the bidder believes the City will provide the bike rack. The bid item
6.12 to replant the water quality swale is high at $10,000.
DPR Construction, Inc.
DPR Construction did submit the entire contract document with their bid. They had one minor correction
to a bid item number that was not initialed.
The bid item 1.14 the bike rack is $307.50, which is less than what we understand the materials to cost.
This may be a mistake that the bidder believes the City will provide the bike rack. The bid item 1.26 2"
PVC water at $23.19/LF is more than twice anyone else's bid. The bid item 1.34 Trench Pavement
restoration at $51.39/SY is high. The bid item 6.12 to replant the water quality swale is high at $10,000.
The bid item 6.14 Trench Pavement restoration at $41.82/SY is high.
D&D Concrete and Utilities, Inc.
D&D Concrete and Utilities did submit the entire document with their bid. Their prequalification form
states that they are qualified for building construction but none of their project experience listed in the
prequalification application list building construction in the class of work. The bid item 1.1 Mobilization is
$100,000 and may be unbalanced. The bid item 6.12 to replant the water quality swale is high at
$8,500.
Carter & Company, Inc.
Carter & Company did not submit the entire contract document with their bid. Their prequalification
application lists their maximum dollar amount for building construction as 1,000,000. Their bid for this
project exceeds 1,000,000.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the Local Contract Review Board approve the contract award for the construction of FY 2001-2002 Sewer
Rehabilitation Program?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Local Contract Review Board, by motion, approve the contract award to Geico
Services, Inc. in the amount of $71,440.00.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City of Tigard's television inspection reports identify more than 6,000 feet of sanitary and storm drainpipes
that are seriously damaged. The line segments have numerous cracks and the pipe joints are widely split
allowing water to leak through. To restore the structural and hydraulic integrity of the damaged pipes, staff
proposes a yearly rehabilitation program that would provide corrective and preventative maintenance to
approximately 1,000 feet of pipe per year. The rehabilitation program would use a method to install pipe that
eliminates the need to excavate. The installation of Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) utilizes a trenchless construction
method that prevents damage to existing pavement and minimizes disruption to traffic and underground utilities.
This method is widely used by other governmental agencies and has proved effective in solving the problem.
The installation of CIPP is formed by the insertion of a resin-impregnated flexible felt tube into the existing
pipe. The tube is expanded with water in an inversion process to fit against the host pipe, and then heated to
cure the resin. The finished product is a jointless, structural pipe that is formed to the existing pipe.
The proposed sewer rehabilitation program for FY 2001-02 includes pipes on the following streets: Highway
99W (west of Garrett Street), North Dakota Street (between Gallo and 112`h Avenue), O'Mara Street (at Hill
Street), Gallo avenue (south of Tigard Street), and Ventura Court.
The bid opening for the sewer rehabilitation project was conducted on March 11, 2002. The bid results are:
Gelco Services Salem, Oregon $71,440.00

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Title 3 Comprehensive Plan and Code Amendments Hearing
PREPARED BY: Duane Roberts DEPT HEAD OK - CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City adopt certain code amendments in order to comply with Title 3 of the Urban Growth
Management Functional Plan, as required by Metro?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the amendments as presented.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
In mid-1998, the Metro Council adopted performance standards for the protection of streams, wetlands, and
floodplains, formally known as Title 3 of the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan. Tigard and the other
jurisdictions within Metro were required to amend their comprehensive plans and development codes to comply
with these new standards within eighteen (later extended to twenty-four) months.
In Washington County, the County and local governments, including Tigard, unanimously elected to meet Title 3
standards by building on the existing Clean Water Services (CWS) storm water management program. In late
1999, after a one-year, collaborative process, revised CWS rules reflecting the Title 3 performance standards, as
well as additional standards needed by CWS in order to meet new federal Clean Water Act requirements, were
completed and forwarded to the CWS board. The revisions were adopted by the CWS board after public hearings
and became effective Countywide February 2000. As required by our IGA with CWS, Tigard has been enforcing
the standards since that date.
On November 6, 2000, the Tigard Planning Commission conducted a hearing on amendments to the City
Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code recognizing the new CWS standards. In a five to zero
decision, the Commissioners voted to abstain from forwarding a recommendation to Council concerning
adoption. According to meeting minutes, the main reason was that the CWS definition of "development" was
considered to be unduly vague and, for clarification purposes, a specific list or prohibited and allowed activities
should be developed and made available to landowners. To partially address this concern, the lengthy, one
paragraph CWS development definition originally included in the proposed Tigard Code amendments has been
changed to an easier-to-read, list-type format. To further clarify the definition, one phrase has been added to the
wording of the definition.
A Council hearing to adopt the standards originally had been scheduled for late 2000. However, after the
November 2000 passage of Ballot Measure 7, the City attorney advised the City to suspend adoption until the
effects of the ballot measure were better known.
The adoption process remained on hold until October 2001, when Tigard and other jurisdictions received a letter
from Metro directing the City to complete Title 3 adoption. As a local unit of government within Metro, Tigard
is required to follow Metro planning rules. In response to the Metro letter, the City resumed the adoption
process and set the date for the Council adoption hearing. Adoption of the proposed amendments will bring the
City into full compliance status with regard to Title 3 of the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan.
Approximately 1,600 hearing notices have been sent to the owners of land located within mapped Title 3
resource and associated buffer areas. In January, two informal meetings for affected landowners were held to
discuss the code amendments and to give examples of how they work.
Summary of Amendments
• The new regulations apply to new "development" near sensitive water areas. The definition of
"development" generally includes the following activities:
1. land division to create new lots
2. construction requiring a building permit
3. grading and excavation requiring a permit
4. clearing of vegetation within a vegetated corridor area
• Existing development located within a setback area is not subject to the new regulatory setbacks and is not
required to be brought into conformity with the new rules. However, any proposed expansion of the
existing use would be required to conform to the new regulations. Maintenance and repair and roads and
utilities, where no alternative locations exist that would cause less disturbance, also are exempt from the
regulations.
• The purpose of the proposed City Comprehensive Plan and Code amendments is to add references to CWS's
Design and Construction Manual and to CWS's role as a service provider whose storm/surface water
management service is required as part of the land use review process. The sole policy change is the
addition of CWS to the list of government entities referenced in Water Quality Policy 4.2.1 whose standards
apply to development inside the City. Metro staff requested that Comprehensive Plan references to "Metro
Service District" be updated to "Metro".
• A related purpose of the amendments is to streamline the Sensitive Lands (18.775) and Water Resources
Overlay (18.797) Chapters of the Code by eliminating conflicting standards and by integrating into the
Sensitive Lands Chapter portions of the Water Resources Overlay Chapter that are more restrictive than
CWS or Sensitive Lands standards and deleting all other portions of the Water Resources Overlay Chapter.
• The new CWS rules require wider buffers around streams and wetlands and also require the enhancement to
"good condition" of the first 15 to 50 feet of disturbed or degraded buffer areas. The CWS rules limit
development within sensitive water resource areas and adjacent corridors. The corridors range in width
from 15 to 200 feet depending on the nature of the sensitive area and the slope of the surrounding terrain.
Very steep areas receive the widest corridors. A chart showing the standard vegetated corridor widths is
attached (Attachment 1). Also attached is a chart comparing the main Title 3/ CWS standards to pre-
existing City standards (Attachment 2).
• To provide flexibility in the land use review process, the new standards allow for development to occur with
appropriate conditions through buffer averaging and reduction and through an alternatives analysis or variance
process.
• The new regulations require that applicants for development near streams and wetlands prepare a site
assessment and obtain a stormwater permit from CWS prior to submitting a land use application to the City.
As presently administered, the City pre-screens proposed site plans to determine which applications include
development that intrudes into the vegetated corridor and require CWS review. Proposals that include any
intrusion are required to obtain the CWS permit.
Metro, Department of Land Conservation and Development, and the City Attorney have reviewed the proposed
amendments and have not offered any objections to their adoption as written. The adoption ordinance includes
language provided by the City Attorney based on recent Measure 7 case law and intended to protect the City
from Measure 7 claims. Adoption of the proposed code amendments will bring the City into full compliance
with Title 3 and meet the City's legal obligation to follow Metro planning rules.

FISCAL NOTES
No additional administrative costs are incurred by the amendments, since CWS rather than the City administer
them. The City potentially could be subject to Measure 7 claims should the Oregon Supreme Court uphold the
legality of Measure 7.

Commission Secretary
3. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS
As set forth in his memorandum to the Planning Commission dated October 23,
2000, Bill Monahan proposed that the Commission be updated on a quarterly basis
regarding transportation and parks planning issues. The purpose of these updates
would be to keep the Commissioners informed about ongoing efforts in these areas
and provide the background necessary in making decisions when issues are
brought before them. Public Works, Engineering, and Community Development
staff would present the quarterly updates to the Commission on a rotating basis.
Mr. Monahan also discussed the City's "Tree City USA" application, which is
currently being worked on by Ed Wegner and Matt Stine of the Public Works
Department. When they have completed their review of the criteria, they will
provide information to the Commission on the functions of a Tree Board to be
established. It can be decided at that time whether the Tree Board will be
comprised of a Commission subcommittee or if citizen members will fill that role.
Jim Hendryx discussed the transportation system plan the task force has been
working on for over 18 months. The intent was to schedule a series of public
hearings and then look at what would be the best effort for successful adoption of a
transportation system plan. They are attempting to get the plan to the Council
before the end of the year. An open house held earlier tonight did not get a lot of
participation. Another public meeting will be announced in Cityscape and held on
December 4t'. The Planning Commission public hearing will be held on December
18''.

that replaces an older run-down building will be a disincentive to rebuild if additional
parking is required. He agrees that if an existing building adds square footage it
should also add more parking. However, if a new building retains the existing
square footage, then it should be exempt from coming up to current parking
standards.
President Wilson pointed out that there is already a serious disincentive to rebuild
because currently an existing building must comply if the use changes. This
ordinance gives more flexibility in that regard.
Commissioner Padgett noted that an important distinction is that the Central
Business District is a specially designated area of the City, and the City has
recognized that the purpose and intent of this area is different from other general
commercial areas. Because of the unique characteristics and designation of the
area, it is important to clarify that this amendment only applies to the Central
Business District and the same theory does not apply to other commercial areas.
Matt Scheidegger reiterated that this amendment only applies to property abutting
Main Street. A brief discussion followed regarding inclusion of these concerns in
the recommendation for approval.
Commissioner Topp moved to recommend approval to City Council of the
Downtown Parking Code Amendment, Zone Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 2000-
00004, as evidenced by Table 18.765.2 revised on 11/6/00 to include an
amendment to footnote #5 that existing buildings directly abutting Main Street are
not required to add additional off-street parking for a change of use or for
replacement of the existing square footage except for entertainment uses.
Commissioner Mores seconded the motion. A voice vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously.
Commissioner Padgett left at 8:10 p.m.
5.2 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2000-00001/ZONE
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (ZOA) 2000-00003 CODE AMENDMENT
INCORPORATING USA's NEW WATER QUALITY DESIGN STANDARDS
The City of Tigard is proposing a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Volume
II in order to recognize Unified Sewerage Agency's (USA) role in managing
water quality and to provide additional ev'Jence of Metro Title 3 compliance. A
Zone Ordinance Amendment is requ isled with respect to Community
Development Code (Title 18), Chapters 18.370, 18.775 and 18.797, in order to
incorporate new USA Design and Construction Standards governing
development near streams, wetlands, and springs (collectively called Water
Quality Sensitive Areas). All lesser standards in the Community Development
Code that provide less protection than the USA standards will be deleted and a
requirement will be added that a USA permit be obtained. The USA

STAFF REPORT
Duane Roberts presented the staff report on behalf of the City. In order to comply
with Title 3 of the Metro Functional Plan, the City is proposing to change the
Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code in three ways: 1) to
recognize USA's role in managing water quality within the City and to reference
USA's new Design and Construction Standards, 2) to add the requirement for a
USA Stormwater Connection Permit, and 3) to integrate the three layers of
regulations for federal, state, and regional standards into one section and make
them easier to understand and administer. Mr. Roberts explained the main
differences between the existing Code and the new requirements. Chart II in the
staff report explains the changes. There are two types of regulations, one pertains
to flood management and the other relates to water quality protection. Mr. Roberts
outlined the pertinent portions of the requirements and explained how Tigard's
existing flood management standards are generally more stringent than, and
therefore supersede, the USA standards. He also remarked on flexibility charges
in the regulations and alternative analyses provisions. Mr.' Roberts stated that
Tigard's Code standards are also somewhat more restrictive or stringent than the
USA regulations for protecting resources such as wetlands and stream corridors.
Mr. Roberts stated that most people are concerned about existing single-family lots.
He explained that the rules apply differently to small development and existing
single-family lots than to large development. A single-family lot will not have to
submit a detailed. assessment or hire any consultants. The main requirements are
to provide a sketch plan of the proposed development, a measure of the distance
from the development to the edge of the water feature, and one or more
photographs of the site. A major development such as a subdivision will have to do
a very detailed assessment of the vegetated corridor, may be required to perform a
geotechnical study, hire consultants, and submit a very complete assessment.
Commissioner Topp asked if Tigard's more stringent regulations would be deleted
from the Code in favor of the less stringent USA regulations.
Mr. Roberts responded that most of the more stringent standards would supersede
the less stringent standards; things that could be allowed under the USA
regulations will continue to be disallowed under the Tigard regulations. Some of
the USA regulations will be adopted over existing regulations that are only slightly
more stringent. He pointed out areas on a map where the new regulations are the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - November 6, 2000 - Page 5
same or almost the same as the existing regulations. Changes to the existing
standards and affected areas were discussed.
These regulations have been reviewed and approved by the Department of Land
Conservation and Development, Metro, and the City Attorney's office. Any
development will require the approval of USA. USA worked with the Washington
County jurisdictions and developed the standards to comply with the regulations
mandated by Metro. They will be applied by USA, not the City. There is no
flexibility for the Planning Commission to adopt any changes to the new regulations.
Questions and lengthy discussion continued regarding the details of and areas
affected by the new regulations, the effect on the existing standards, and USA's
role in enforcing the regulations.
President Wilson pointed out that, as the Planning Commission does not have the
ability to change the standards mandated by Metro, the purpose of public testimony
on this matter is to alert Metro of public concerns.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY - IN FAVOR
Hazel Lyon, 10440 SW 87"' Avenue, Tigard, Oregon, advised that USA installed a
larger sewer line across back of her property along Ash Creek. USA brought in fill
that contained a lot of rock, which has caused a drainage problem resulting in
standing water. This is a serious problem that did not exist prior to the installation
and USA has not offered a satisfactory solution. She did not offer any comments
regarding the proposed regulations.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY - IN OPPOSITION
Eric Davison, 11205 SW Fairhaven Street, Tigard, Oregon, stated that he considers
the adoption of Title 3 a taking. He asked how this would affect his ability to make
modifications to his property. The fact that most of the requirements apply to large
developments instead of single-family homes is not made clear in the regulations.
He also discussed his concerns about inconsistencies in the new regulations with
current standards and whether there is actually any benefit to the changes. Mr.
Davison explained how these concerns specifically affect his property with regard to
inconsistencies in the implementation of buffers and noted that he has observed
inconsistencies affecting other development with no apparent benefit. He
expressed various other concerns and questions about the future affects of the new
regulations both on development and on property taxes. Specific issues regarding
his property were discussed.
Bob Vinatied, 10440 SW Johnson Court, Tigard, Oregon, inquired about effects of
the regulations on structures and what things are considered to be structures in
terms of development of such things as arbors, walkways, play structures, etc. He
was advised that a development is something that requires a building permit.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - November 6, 2000 - Page 6
Discussion followed regarding different types of development and construction/re-
construction that would or would not require approval by the City and/or by USA.
Midge Finley, 11260 SW Gaarde Street, Tigard, Oregon, discussed drainage
problems on her property. She does not know how this proposal affects their
property. She was advised that Duane Roberts will call her after checking to see if
their property is affected.
Peggy Webster, 11895 SW 113"' Place, Tigard, Oregon, asked if the 50-foot
setback is measured from the creek itself or from the surrounding wetland area.
She was advised that it is measured either from the edge of the wetlands or from
the top of the bank of the stream. The 50 feet is not related to the floodplain. Ms.
Webster stated that she is in favor of preserving as much greenspace and natural
habitat as possible. Discussion also was held regarding old trees being cut down in
the Walnut Glen Development and problems involving the cost of planting new
trees in mitigation. Ms. Webster was advised to contact either Jim Hendryx or Julia
Hajduk for assistance in resolving the problems.
Ken Rea, 9570 SW Tigard Street, Tigard, Oregon, asked what criteria are used to
determine a major or minor development. He was advised that the determination
will be made by USA. A brief discussion followed regarding development of Mr.
Rea's property and the change of use from residential to commercial as the reason
for the assessment by USA that it is considered a large development. Although the
development was begun prior to the effects of the new regulations, the
intergovernmental agreement requires the current enforcement of USA regulations.
Teri Brown, 11725 SW 116"', Tigard, Oregon, quoted from a notice stating that
adoption of the ordinance may affect the permissible uses and reduce the value of
a property. She asked how a reduction in property value is not considered a taking.
She was advised that the Supreme Court has ruled that regulations can reduce the
value of a property up to almost 100% without calling it a taking. The loss of all
economic value to the property is considered 'a taking. USA should be contacted to
determine if a property is affected.
Kevin Dung, 509 SW Sutherland Way, Beaverton, Oregon, commented about the
effects on property values if Measure 7 passes. Additional discussion was held
regarding the value and development of his property. He was advised to contact
USA to determine the specific effects to his property.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Commissioner Topp said his biggest concern is regarding USA's lack of definitions
for structures, gardens, lawns, and permitted uses. Ultimately USA will have to
address this issue so that the Planning Commission will know how to respond to
development requests that come before it. He is also concerned about the
floodplain alteration within residential zones.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - November 6, 2000 - Page 7
NMI
President Wilson said he shares the concerns about people being able to use their
property. He feels that this whole process is meaningless because the mandate is
already In effect and the Planning Commission has no control over the process. He
is therefore going to abstain from voting.
Further discussion was held regarding disagreements with certain aspects and the
inability to effect changes. Metro is insulated from the results and effects of its
mandates because it does not have to face the people who are impacted.
Commissioner Topp moved that the recommendation for approval of the proposed
Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) 2000-00001 and Zone Ordinance
Amendment (ZOA) 2000-00003 be forwarded to the City Council for approval with
two caveats.: 1) that staff look at USA's requirements for structures, development
and construction activities for garden and lawns and developing lists with USA as to
what their intent is for that to apply to, and 2) that staff look at changing the existing
City standards to allow balanced cut and fill flood management to commercial,
industrial, and residential zones as opposed to excepting out residential zones.
The motion was not seconded.
Further discussion was held and it was agreed, that the Planning Commission
opposes changing the floodplain in residential zones. It is believed that Tigard's
existing protections for the floodplain are sufficient. Commissioner Topp amended
the motion to strike the portion regarding flood management in residential zones.
Commissioner Incalcaterra seconded the motion. A voice vote was taken and
there were no votes in favor or in opposition to the motion. All five Commissioners
abstained from voting.

SECTION BACKGROUN P INFORMATION
Introduction
In mid-1998, the Metro Council adopted performance standards for the protection of
streams, wetlands, and floodplains, known as Title 3 of the Functional Plan. Tigard and the
other jurisdictions within Metro are required to amend their comprehensive plans and
develop codes to comply with these new standards. In Washington County, the new
protection measures are implemented through incorporation into the USA Design and
Construction Standards, which all the jurisdictions within USA are required to follow. The
purpose of the present amendments is to complete Title 3 by updating the City plan and
code and adding references to USA's Design and Construction Manual and to USA's role as
a service provider whose storm/surface water management service.is required as part of the
land use review process. A closely related purpose is to eliminate conflicting standards by
integrating into the Sensitive Lands Chapter, portions of the Water Resources Overlay
Chapter that are more stringent than USA or Sensitive Lands standards and deleting all
other portions of the Water Resources Overlay Chapter.
Title 3 Overview and USA Design and Construction Standards
Title 3 contains performance standards for (1) flood and erosion control and for (2) stream
water quality protection. The key flood control provisions include a requirement for the
balancing of cut and fill within the floodplain, a prohibition on the storage of hazardous
materials, and a requirement to supplement FFMA maps with 1996 flood and other pertinent
data, if available. The key provision related to water quality protection is the imposition of
vegetated corridors around streams and wetlands. The width of the corridor is based on the
slope of the area adjacent to the stream. For year-round streams, the width varies from 50
to 200 feet. Streams with adjacent areas of 25% slope receive the widest setback.
In Washington County, the cities and the county have had a coordinated water quality
program since 1990. This program, called SWM, provides one set of rules for all the
jurisdictions to follow. Given the success of this program and a common desire to maintain
the consistency it provides, the Washington County jurisdictions unanimously elected to
meet Title 3 by building on the existing USA storm water management program. In late
1999, after a one-year collaborative planning process, the USA rules were revised to reflect
the Title 3 performance standards. The revisions were adopted by the USA board after
public hearings and became effective in February 2000. Thus, in Washington County, the
new Title 3 standards are implemented through incorporation into the USA Design and
Construction Standards, which all the cities within USA are required to follow as a minimum.
New USA Standards
The new USA rules require wider buffers around streams and wetlands and also require the
enhancement to "good condition" of the first 15 to 50 feet of disturbed or degraded buffer
areas. The USA rules limit development within sensitive water resource areas and adjacent
corridors. The corridors range in width from 15 to 200 feet depending on the nature of the
sensitive area and the slope .dUthe surrounding terrain. Very steep areas receive the widest
corridors. A chart showing the vegetated corridor widths is attached. Also, attached is a
chart comparing the salient Title 3/USA standards to existing city standards. The main

differences include: wider buffers on some streams, the required preservation or restoration
to good condition of the first 50 feet of stream buffer, the protection of intermittent streams
with 15' to 50' buffers, and wider buffers around isolated wetlands larger than 0.5 acres. To
provide flexibility in the land use review process and also to avoid takings in specific cases,.
the new standards allow for development to occur with appropriate conditions through buffer
averaging and reduction and though.an alternatives analysis or variance process. These
provisions are described in Chart II. It is useful to note that along Fanno, the North. Fork of
Ash, and Ball Creeks, where the existing buffer is 50 feet and gradients are low, the new
regulatory buffers generally do not exceed existing City. standards.
Existing development located within a setback area is not subject to the new regulatory
setbacks and is not required to be brought into conformity with the new rules. However, any
proposed expansion of the existing use would be required to meet the new regulations.
The, new regulations require that applicants for development near streams and wetlands
prepare a site assessment and obtain a stormwater permit from USA prior to submitting a
land use application to the City.
The Water Resource Overlay District section of the development code section was adopted
in order to comply with Statewide Goal 5 for streams and wetlands. Many of its provisions
are less stringent than the new USA standards. These lesser standards are removed by the
code amendments. In order to maintain Goal 5 compliance, those standards that are more
stringent than the USA standards are retained and, for purposes of streamlining and clarity,
are integrated into the Sensitive Lands Chapter. As shown in Chart II, these more restrictive
standards include a fixed 75-foot setback along the Tualatin River and the stronger
protection of good condition buffers and sensitive areas.
Local Title 3 Compliance
Although existing intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) require Tigard and the other USA-
affiliated jurisdictions to "follow and enforce the orders promulgated by the Agency", the
IGAs do not specifically require that USA's standards and performance criteria be applied as
criteria for land use approval. Up to now, the standards have been implemented by requiring
land use applicants to obtain approvals by the City acting on behalf of USA before _
connection to the storm and surface water management system. Applicants presently are
required to comply with the Design and Construction Standards as part of the development
review process, in the same way that they are required to comply with design and
construction standards for water lines, sanitary sewers, and streets, or with building
structural code requirements, fire code requirements, and similar standards.
Tigard and most of the other jurisdictions apply USA standards as part of the engineering
review that accompanies permits for connection to storm water system; the City acting on-.
behalf of USA pursuant to.the IGA thus functions as a storm/drainage service provider in
each jurisdiction, and the land use review process requires the applicant to demonstrate that
the service is available. In Tigard, USA standards are applied pursuant to the IGA, typically
by the City Engineer during the development review process.
If USA, as the special district planning for water quality management in the basin, has
enforceable standards in place that substantially comply with the performance standards of
Title 3, and if cities and the county have coordinated comprehensive plans that assure
Staff Report CPA 2000-0001, ZOA 2000-00003 USA Water Quality Design Standards Page 3
implementation of those standards, then the cities and county should substantially comply
with Title 3. However, because Title 3 provides that "local codes shall require" development
to conform to specific performance standards, Metro may and does require as part of
substantial compliance'that specific references in land use regulations identify the service
provider and assure that USA standards are applied through the land use review process.
In conclusion, in order to complete Title 3 compliance, Tigard needs to adopt conforming
amendments to its comprehensive plan and development code explicitly recognizing USA's
role as a service provider whose storm/surface water management service is required as
part of the land use review process. These required amendments are the subject of this
application.
SECTION IV APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
The relevant criteria in this case are Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 6, and 7; Metro 1.1.1,
1.1.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 3.1.1, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.4, 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 4.2.1, 7.1.1, 7.1.2; and 7.21

Code Section 18.30.
The proposal is consistent with the 'applicable Statewide Planning Goals based on the
following findings:
1. Goal 1, Citizen Involvement, is met because the City has followed its adopted citizen
involvement program which involved review by its Citizen Involvement Team structure
and public hearings as listed below. The City's Citizen Involvement Policies in the
Comprehensive Plan have been acknowledged to be in compliance with Goal 1. Notice
for all hearings was provided in the Tigard Times which summarized and outlined the
amendments being made to existing plan and code provisions and was done so for
each public hearing. Notices and information also were mailed to the owners of
properties located within or partially within the regulatory boundary of a Title 3 vegetated
corridor. This included approximately 1,400 property owners. Copies of the ordinance
drafts have been available at least seven days prior to the hearings, which follows
Community Development Code procedure.
2. Goal 2, Land Use Planning, is met because the City applied all relevant Statewide
Planning Goals, City Comprehensive Plan Policies and Community Development Code
requirements in review of this proposal.
3. Goal 6, Air, Water and Land Resources Quality, is met because the proposed
amendments provide greater protection for streams and wetlands than do existing
regulations. These greater protections include wider buffers around sensitive water.
resource area and a requirement than good condition vegetated corridors be
established.
4. Statewide Planning Goal 7, addressing areas subject to natural disaster and hazards,
is satisfied, because the proposed changes meet or exceed the flood management
standards included in the current code. ' These more restrictive standards include
requiring a higher minimum floor elevation and prohibiting the storage of uncontained
Staff Report CPA 2000-0001, ZOA 2000-00003 USA Water Quality Design Standards Page 4
hazardous materials within the floodplain.
The proposal is consistent with the City's acknowledged comprehensive plan based on the
following findings:
1. Policies 1.1.1.a. and c. are satisfied because the proposed code changes are
consistent with Statewide Planning Goals as indicated above and the changes help to
keep the development code current with local needs and recent administrative rule
changes. In particular, the changes implement Title 3 of the Metro Framework Plan.
2. Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.2, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and
compliance with the plans of the Metropolitan Service District, is met because the
amendments have been reviewed by Metro staff and have been determined to be
consistent the Metro Framework Plan approved by the Land Conservation and
Development Commission (LCDC).
3. Policies 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3, citizen involvement, are satisfied because the proposal
has been reviewed at public hearings and through the City's Public Involvement
process. All owners of property within identified Title 3 areas, some 1,400 owners,
were sent written notice of the proposal and hearing schedule. This mailing included
a general information sheet describing the amendments with a contact number
provided for those with questions or wishing additional information. Individual
property site maps, depicting approximate Title 3 boundaries, were mailed to some
thirty property owners at their request. The full text of the proposed amendments was
posted on the City WebPages. The staff report was made available more than seven
(7) days prior to the hearings along with a draft of the proposed ordinance.
4. Policy 3.1.1 is satisfied because this policy calls for development control of wetlands
and these amendments provide tools consistent with recent regional Unified Sewerage
Agency and Metro rules to protect these resources.
5. Policy 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, prohibiting any land from alterations or developments within
the 100-year floodplain that would result in any rise in elevation of the 100-year
floodplain, is satisfied because the proposed amendments do not alter the existing
requiring that the zero-rise floodway be maintained.
6. Policy 3.2.4 is satisfied because the amendments further restrict development within
areas designated as significant wetlands and establish 25 to 200 feet setbacks from the
outer edges of designated wetland areas.
7. Policy 3.4.1.a is satisfied because the Title 3 rules designate significant wetlands
according to the criteria and procedures for the identification of significant wetlands
established in the "Final Approved Administrative Rules for Identifying Significant
Wetlands" adopted by the Division of State Lands.
8. Policy 3.4.2.x, which calls for the protection of fish and wildlife habitat along stream
corridors, is satisfied because the proposal establishes mandatory setbacks from the
top of banks and the edges of wetlands and requires that the areas within these
setbacks remain undisturbed or enhanced with native vegetation.
Staff Report CPA 2000-0001, ZOA 2000-00003 USA Water Quality Design Standards Page 5
9. Comprehensive Plan Policies 4.2.1, Water Quality, and 4.2.2, Wastewater Systems,
are satisfied because the proposed amendments are intended to implement stream
protection performance standards adopted by Metro. At the same time, the proposed
standards go beyond the Metro standards by providing increased protection for
intermittent streams and by requiring the enhancement to good condition of fifty foot
vegetated corridors along stream and wetlands.
10. Comprehensive Plan Policy 7.1.1.a and f, Public Facilities and Services, is satisfied
because the' purpose of the amendments is to implement the rules and regulation of
the United Sewerage District pertaining to the location of developments, including
required stormwater retention ponds.
11. Comprehensive Plan Policy 7.1.2.a, Public Facilities and Services, is met because the
new regulations require that a storm drainage connection permit be obtained from
USA before development can occur.
12. Comprehensive Plan Policy 7.2.1, Storm Drainage and Wastewater Management, is
satisfied because.the proposed amendments stipulate that the City shall require as a
pre-condition to development in sensitive water resource areas that a. site
development study be submitted to USA for review and approval according to
stringent standards and that natural drainage ways and intermittent streams be
maintained.
13. Community Development Code Chapter 18.380, Zoning Map and Text Amendments,
and 18.390, Decision Making Procedures, are satisfied because all the procedures for
Type IV application and a legislative code change were followed. The proposal is
consistent with the City's acknowledged Comprehensive Plan and Development
Code.
SECTION V. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS
The City of Tigard Operations and Engineering Divisions has reviewed the proposal and
has offered no comments or objections.
The City of Tigard Current Planning Division has reviewed the proposal and has offered the
following comments:
How would underground utilities, and other underground work be treated under the new code?
Response: Under the proposed amendments, the review of underground utilities within
vegetated corridors and sensitive areas would be conducted by the Unified
Sewerage Agency according to the revised USA Design and Construction
Standards. Following its review, the agency will issue a Storm Water Connection
Permit for approved facility plans. City staff would not be responsible for
reviewing underground utility plans within vegetated corridors. This responsibility
will be delegated to USA. On the other hand, because existing Water Resources
Overlay rules are more restrictive than the USA rules with regard to sensitive
areas, the City would continue to be responsible for the review of underground
utilities within these areas. Thus, utilities within sensitive areas will be subject to
both USA and City review.
Staff Report CPA 2000-0001, ZOA 2000-00003 USA Water Quality Design Standards Page 6
What happens to wetlands discovered but not mapped? Response: According to existing City
regulations, wetlands that are overlooked or otherwise not mapped on the City Significant
Wetlands Inventory are not subject to City wetlands regulations. Notwithstanding this,
wetlands that meet the Federal definitions of a wetland are subject to conjunctive USA, State,
and Federal regulations governing wetlands.
What happens if a vegetated corridor is degraded before or after a required site assessment,
due to negligence or destruction on the part of the owner? Consider mitigation measures if
owner causes destruction.
Response: The new USA regulations prohibit any clearing within a vegetated corridor area
without a permit. Any clearing that may take place prior to or inconsistent with
site plan approval would be a violation of USA standards and would be subject to
penalties and mitigation requirements.

ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Urban Services Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Tigard. City of
Tualatin and Washin on oun for Durham u site
PREPARED BY: Julia Hajduk DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK V~~ v
ISSUE BEFORE THE C UNCIL
Should Council review and sign the intergovernmental agreement between Tigard, Tualatin and Washington
County regarding the Durham Quarry site?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign the intergovernmental agreement.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City of Tigard, City of Tualatin and Washington County have been meeting for over a year to plan for
development of the Durham Quarry site. In June of 2001, the City of Tigard adopted Comprehensive Plan and
Development Code standards for the portion of the site in Tigard to allow mixed use development on the site. The
City of Tualatin adopted similar standards. The site is located primarily in Tualatin with a portion located in
Tigard. It has been the intent that the site be developed as a whole under the review of one jurisdiction. Tigard
indicated that the code changes would become effective upon signing an intergovernmental agreement which
would define review authority for development of the site. The IGA was developed by all 3 jurisdictions with close
involvement from legal counsel. The City of Tualatin Council and Washington County Board of Commissioners
are in the process of signing the agreement as well. The agreement will give Tualatin the authority to review and
issue land use decisions and building permits for the whole site, including the portion in Tigard. Washington
County agrees to contribute funds to cover lost permitting fees once a development proposal is submitted. In
addition, further discussion on the allocation of System Development Charges (SDC) and Traffic Impact Fees (TIF)
will take place once a final site plan is determined. Once initial development is complete, future permitting will be
done by the respective jurisdiction.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
• Provide comments and direct consideration of additional changes to the IGA.
• Take no action.

SUBJECT: Engineering Department Overview
Highlights of Accomplishments and Goals
The Engineering Department has been involved in a wide variety of activities during the past year.
Som : of the highlights include the following:
o Estabtishnient of the Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force to evaluate and develop
alternativc sources of funding for both maintenance of the City street infrastructure and
expansion of the collector system to meet current and future transportation demands. This
Task Force has been meeting during the past year and is now evaluating the feasibility of
implementing a Street Maintenance Fee for preventative and corrective maintenance of City
streets. The Task Force is continuing to review potential sources of funds for street expansion
projects.
e Participation in the public process leading to the adoption of the Transportation System Plan.
This plan, which was adopted by City Council in the January 8, 2002 Council meeting,
provides the much needed transportation-related improvements for the next 20 to 30 years and
serves as the blueprint for making transportation project choices for the coming years.
• Construction of the Gaarde Street Phase 1 Improvements from Quail Hollow-West to Walnut
and continuation of pavement maintenance through pavement overlays and slurry seals.
• Reviewed the plans, issued permits for, and inspected the public improvements on such major
subdivision projects as Quail Hollow-West, Pacific Crest, Erickson Heights, etc.
• Assisted in the development of the New Tigard Library concept plan and helped develop the
site plan for use in various meetings and public displays leading to the proposed bond issue
coming before the voters in May 2002.
The following in more specific detail are the major accomplishments of the Engineering
Department during calendar year 2001 and the first month in 2002:
Accomplishments
Capital Improvement Program
Street Projects
Gaarde Street Improvements: Gaarde Street is a major collector providing a key east-west
connection from Highway 99W to Walnut Street, then along Walnut Street and Barrows Road
to Beaverton. The project to improve Gaarde Street and provide a continuous, upgraded
connection from Highway 99W to Walnut Street is divided into two phases. Phase 1 is the
construction of a new segment of Gaarde Street extending north from the Quail Hollow-West
Subdivision to Walnut Street. Phase 2 is the reconstruction and widening of Gaarde Street
from Highway 99w to 121St Avenue.
• Gaarde Street - Phase 1 (between Walnut Street and the northerly boundary of the
Quail Hollow Subdivision): Construction of this phase began in August 2000 and was
completed August 2001. Because of the extensive undergrounding utility work involved,
construction of this project took longer than anticipated. The new Gaarde Street Extension
was used as a detour route during the period the Walnut/12151 intersection was closed for
construction. However, the signalized intersection at Gaarde and Walnut Street was only
partially operational until July 2001 when the Walnut/121" intersection was again opened
for traffic. The entire project is now completed with the signal system at Gaarde/Walnut
Street now fully operational.
• Gaarde Street - Phase 2 (between 121St avenue and Hwy 99W): This project is being
designed by an engineering consultant and is approximately 80% complete. In addition to
street widening, this project also includes installation of a new traffic signal at the Gaarde
Street/121 St Avenue intersection and improvement to the 121St Avenue approach north of
the intersection. This project will be advertisement for bids in March 2002 to permit
construction to begin in May of next year.
Pavement Major Maintenance Program (PMMP): The PMMP is an annual program of
corrective and preventive maintenance on all paved streets in the City. In the year 2000, the City's
Pavement Management System identified a backlog of $2,000,000 in corrective overlay, repairs,
and slurry seals. Approximately $500,000 of this backlog is in streets that are candidates for
reconstruction and widening during the next few years. However approximately $500,000 in
Engineering Department Accomplishments and Goals
Page 2 of 9
pavement overlays and $1,000,000 in slurry seals are required in local streets that are not
programmed as part of any major project. Because of limited funding, only a few streets from the
long list were addressed this year. Streets that received a combination of pavement inlay and slurry
seal treatment or just slurry seal treatment include:
• Kable Street (between Naeve Street and 103`d Avenue)
• 121" Avenue and North Dakota Street (between Scholls Ferry Road and Springwood
Drive)
• Ash Street (between Scoffins and Commercial Street)
• Meadow Street (east of Tiedeman Avenue)
There were approximately 8,500 square yards of asphaltic concrete (AC) overlay and 10,500
square yards of slurry seal placed on these streets. Eagle Elsner, Inc. began construction in mid-
September 2001 and completed the work in late November 2001.
Street Striping Program: This is a program to re-stripe City streets that require re-delineation for
safety and proper channelization of traffic. Two striping projects were completed in 2001: the FY
2000-01 Street Striping - Phase 2 project that includes Gaarde Street (between the Quail Hollow
subdivision and 121" Avenue) and the FY 2001-02 Street Striping project that includes Walnut
Street (between Barrow Road and Wilton Avenue), Gaarde Street (between 121s' Avenue and
110th Avenue) and the Dartmouth Street /72"d Avenue intersection. Approximately 21,000 feet of
striping was applied on these streets. The first project was installed by Apply-A-Line Inc. The
second was installed by Specialized Pavement Markings, Inc. This company began the work in
early December and has most of it completed. The punch list items will be completed in January
2002.
Traffic Calming Program: This program installs traffic-calming devices on minor collector and
residential streets to reduce traffic speeds and volume. This year's program installed 12 speed
humps on Ann Street, Commercial Street, Fonner Street, Summerfield Drive, Kable Street and
Sattler Road. The program will install 2 more humps on Kable Street and 4 more humps on
Spruce Street in early spring of next year to finish this fiscal year's program. The streets currently
proposed for traffic-calming devices in FY 2002-03 will be installed during the summer months of
2002. These streets include 130th Avenue, 100th Avenue and Park Street.
Lincoln Street Improvement: The widening of Lincoln Street between Greenburg Road and
Commercial Street is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. Construction of
this project was divided into 2 phases: the first phase which improved the west side of the street
was completed in July of last year, the second phase which widened the street on the east side was
completed by Mountain Excavating, Inc. in August of this year.
121St Avenue and Walnut Street Intersection: This project widened the intersection to the
ultimate width of a major collector, upgraded the existing drainage and water systems, placed the
existing utilities underground, installed new sanitary sewer, and installed a traffic signal at the
intersection. The project design and construction inspection were administered by Washington

beyond the project limits. Kerr Contractors, Inc. began the work in February and completed the
work in November of this year.
Embedded Crosswalk Lights: The pilot program for the Embedded Crosswalk Lights began in
FY 1999-2000. Since then, lighted crosswalks have been installed at three locations: 12151 Avenue
(at Katherine/Lynn Street), Walnut Street (at Grant Avenue), and Main Street (at the existing
bridge). The lighted crosswalk on 121St Avenue (at Springwood Drive) authorized under the FY
2001-02 Capital Improvement Program is currently under construction. Because of delay in the
delivery of construction materials, the project completion date is extended from November 2001 to
mid-January 2002.
Dartmouth Street Improvement: This project widened approximately 150 feet of Dartmouth
Street just south of Costco's driveway. Included in the improvements are the construction of new
curb and sidewalk, extension of 2 existing culverts and installation of street trees. The low bidder,
Oregon Siteworks, completed the work in 2 months between May and July 2001.
Sanitary Sewer Projects
Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program: This program extends sanitary sewer service into
residential neighborhoods. The City initiates and completes the sewer extensions, then recoups the
total cost of the design and construction via creation of a reimbursement district. As residents
connect to the new sewer line, they have to pay their proportionate share of the cost of the line,
plus the normal connection fee.
Three reimbursement districts were constructed this year and 39 houses were included in these
districts:
• Walnut Street and 12151 Avenue Intersection: 24 services were provided for this
district. Construction of this project was combined with the Walnut Street and 121St
Avenue intersection improvement project that was administered by Washington
County. Kerr Contractors, Inc. began the work in February 2001 and completed the
sanitary sewer work in November of this year.
• hose Vista Drive: This district project extended the main line across SW 118th
Avenue, then across two residential lots before reaching SW Rose Vista Drive. The
line serves 14 properties along SW Rose Vista Drive. Two easements had to be
purchased for the construction. Excel Excavation, Inc. began construction in May and
completed the work in August 2001.
• Ilunziker Street: This proj(ct was constructed by C.R. Woods Trucking, Inc. between
March and 1pril of this y-ar. This district provided one service connection to a
commercial property.
Citywide Sewer Extension program: During a presentation to City Council on October
19, 2000, the Enginecrin« Department proposed a 5-year program to systematically extend
sanitary sewers to all developed but unserved areas Citywide. Council agreed with the
Engineering Department Accomplishments and Goals
Page 4 of 9
proposed 5-year plan and approved funding for the first year of that plan as part of the FY
2001-02 Capital bnprovement Program Budget.
Ash Avenue and Burnham Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements: This project upsized
the existing sanitary sewer line to alleviate surcharging problems during the winter months.
The new line begins at Ash Street, proceeds west on Burnham Street, turns north into an
easement inside private property, goes under the railroad tracks and connects to an existing
line in Commercial Street. APC Underground, Inc. began the work in November of 2000
and completed the work in May 2001.
Greenburg Road and Oak Street Sanitary Sewer Repair: A TV inspection report
prepared by the City indicates that about 30 feet of the main sanitary sewer pipe located in
the parking lot of Casa Lupita Restaurant by Greenburg Road was seriously damaged. To
prevent possible overflows and sewage backups to the restaurant and other surrounding
businesses, this section of pipe was removed and replaced with a new pipe. This work was
completed by Wystan Brown, Inc. in September 2001.
Storm Drainage Projects
Washington Square Storm Runoff Pretreatment: This project removes pollutants from the
Washington Square surface water runoff and is designated as a high priority project by the Fanno
Creek Watershed Management Plan adopted by Clean Water Services (CWS) in November 1997.
The scope of work includes installation of a manufactured treatment unit to receive and partially treat
the flows from two culverts crossing Highway 217, which drain most of Washington Square. The
treated flows continue in a ditch to Fanno Creek. Canby Excavating installed the treatment unit in
June 2001.
Fable Street Storm Drainage Improvements: This project replaced the existing storm drain
pipe in Kable Street between 103`d and 100th Avenue with a larger pipe. The existing 12-inch pipe
was undersized and incapable of receiving the entire amount of storm water from the surrounding
area. D&A Contractors, Inc. began the work in May 2001 and completed the work in August after
3 months of construction.
Miscellaneous Projects
Fanno Creek Trails - Segment 3 (from Tiedeman to Woodard Park): This pedestrian walkway
has been included, along with other trail projects, in the Parks System Program since FY 1998-99.
Since July 1998, 5 trail segments, including Segment 3, have been constructed. Trail segment 3'
runs in 2 directions: in an easterly direction that connects Tiedeman Avenue with Katherine Street
and in a southerly direction that begins from Katherine Street, meanders through Woodard Park,
and ends at the existing bridge by Johnson Street. There are approximately 1,900 feet of walkway
constructed for the Segment 3 project and 5,200 feet of walkway for all 5 segments.
Tri Mountain Excavating, Inc. began construction in mid-September and completed the work in
mid-November. The trail has been opened for public.
Engineering Department Accomplishments and Goals

85`h Avenue Access Road: This access road begins from the southerly end of 85th Avenue,
crosses the Clean Water Services (CWS) property, and ends at Cook Park. This project is part of
the Cook Park Expansion project. However, the access road was designed by the Engineering
Department while the expansion of the park was designed by a consultant. The access road is
approximately 12 feet wide by 1,300 feet long and was completed as part of the park expansion by
Northwest Earthmovers, Inc. in December 2001.
Streetlight Pole Refurbishment: The scope of work included sanding rusted poles, pole bases
and mast arms, and using electrostatic force to apply primer and exterior coating to each pole.
There were 68 poles painted by Electro-Static Refinishers, Inc. and Ruffin Construction, Inc.
These poles are located on Summerfield Drive, Alderbrook Drive and other local streets west of
98th Avenue and north of Durham Road.
Survey projects
Topographic survey work and construction staking for in-house design projects were performed
throughout the calendar year. Other survey projects include the following:
• Right-of-way survey - Commercial Street (95th Avenue to Main Street).
• Lot line adjustment - Lund property.
• Locate property lines where trees may need to be removed (7 times).
• Review 13 partition plats, 11 subdivision plats and various legal descriptions for
Private Development projects.
• Establish 3 new Benchmarks with brass disc and elevations.
• Parking lot staking for the Balloon festival.
• Right-of-way descriptions - Gaarde Street Improvements (Phase 1), Walnut
Street/Tiedeman Avenue Intersection Realignment and North Dakota Street
Improvements.
Private Development Review
General
Update on New Timekeeping System: The Division purchased and installed new timekeeping
software to track staff time on public improvement permits. This ties in with the cost recovery fee
structure that was approved by the City Council in February 1999. Detailed reports are being
produced on each project that shows the hours worked by staff members. The Division is in the
process of making refinements to the program so that the reports are easier for general staff to
understand.
Construction Activity
Permits Issued: As of December 2001, the Engineering Department processed 90 new permits,
of which 80 have thus far been issued. Of the permits issued, 58 were Street Opening Permits (for
minor work in the right-of-way) within the Tigard city limits, 6 were Street Opening Permits
within the Urban Services Boundary (USB), 12 were for larger projects (street improvements,
main utility line extensions, subdivisions, etc.) within the Tigard city limits, and 3 were for larger
Engineering Department Accomplishments and Goals
Page 6 of 9
r
projects within the USB. The larger projects within the City will comprise approximately 1.7
million dollars in public improvements, while the larger project within the USB will comprise
approximately 1.6 million dollars in public improvements.
Construction Highlights: There were a mixture of single-family subdivisions and commercial
projects this past year that have contributed, or will contribute, additional public improvements in
the City this year and into next year.
Pacific Crest
This project currently lies within the USB and is north of SW Bull Mountain Road, south
of SW Fern Street, west of SW Essex Drive. The project will consist of 65 single-family
detached homes and will include the westerly extension of SW Mistletoe Drive, and an
easterly extension of SW Catalina Drive. Construction of the public improvements began
in September 2001, and is scheduled to be completed Spring 2002.
Quail Hollow-South
This project is within the City limits and is east of and adjacent to SW Greenfield Drive
and south of and adjacent to SW Gaarde Street. The project features 60 single-family
attached lots and will be an extension of the Brownstone Homes development in Quail
Hollow West. Construction of the public improvements began in September 2001, and the
improvements are nearing substantial completion.
Other Accomplishments
o City Council, through Resolution No. 01-06, formed the Transportation Financing Strategies
Task Force to evaluate alternative sources of funds for transportation-related improvements
and make recommendations to City Council for implementation. At the August 28, 2001
Council meeting, the Task Force recommended approval for a Street Maintenance Fee Study.
The study was authorized by Council and has been ongoing for the past five months. The
initial findings of the study were reported to the Task Force at the January 17, 2002 meeting
for review and discussion. The draft report is scheduled to be presented to the Task Force on
February 21, 2002, and is scheduled to be presented to Council at the March 19, 2002 City
Council workshop meeting.
o The Transportation System Plan (TSP) had been going through the public process for adoption
for over a year. The Engineering Department funded the TSP Update Study through the
Capital Improvement Program. The City Engineer had been involved in the process of TSP
development from the beginning of the study to its submittal to City Council for review and
approval. A workshop session with City Council was held in November 2001 to review the
TSP prior to adoption. Council adopted the TSP at its meeting on January 8, 2002.
a The Priorities 2002 process provided the City with an opportunity to submit projects for
Federal funding through the Metro approval process. The City submitted the Greenburg Road
project from Washington Square Drive to Tiedeman Avenue for rights-of way acquisition and
partial construction. The project was approved for rights-of way acquisition only. That project
is now approved for both preliminary engineering (Priorities 2000) and rights-of-way
acquisition. The project agreement with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for
Engineering Department Accomplishments and Goals
Page 7 of 9
preliminary engineering is now being developed by ODOT and will be submitted to City
Council for approval within the next few months.

AGENDA ITEM # 8
FOR AGENDA OF March 26.2002
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE A resolution granting an exemption from property taxes under Tigard municipal
code section 3.50 for three non profit low income housing projects owned and operated by Community Partners
for Affordable Housing.
PREPARED BY: Craig Prosser DEPT HEAD OK C,41_ CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall three tow-income housing projects owned and operated by the Community Partners for Affordable Housing
be exempted from City of Tigard property taxation for 2002?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Tigard Municipal Code 3.50 allows certain organizations providing low income housing to be exempted from
Tigard property taxation upon application by March 1 of each year and a demonstration of compliance with certain
criteria listed in the Code.
Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) owns and operates Greenburg Oaks (formerly Villa La Paz),
located at 11875 SW 91St Avenue in Tigard. CPAH also owns a single family home located at 9330 SW Tangela
Ct. in Tigard, and it is developing a low-income housing project on SW Hall Blvd. to be known as the Village at
Washington Square. These projects are or will be operated as low-income housing and meet all criteria listed in
Tigard Municipal Code. CPAH submitted an application for exemption from 2002 property taxes on March 1,
2002. All three of these properties were exempted from property taxation in 2001.
The attached resolution gives consent from the City of Tigard for this tax abatement. Under state law, CPAH must
receive similar approval from jurisdictions accounting for 51 % (or more) of the total property taxes to be levied on
these properties. CPAH will also make application to the other taxing units.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not approve this tax exemption

A. Property Description
Greenburg Oaks is located at 11875 5W 91" Avenue, just off Greenburg Road and Pacific
Highway in Tigard. This 84-unit garden court apartment complex is centrally located, between
Washington Square (the County's largest shopping mall) and Tigard's Main Street. The
neighborhood is basically residential, although proximate to a variety of commercial and retail
employers. Several major bus lines serve the area. Greenburg Oaks consists of 84 units in four
buildings: 12 one-bedroom/one-bath 564 square feet units, 60 two-bedroom/one-bath units of 839
square feet, and 12 three-bedroom/one-bath units of 1,007 square feet. The buildings are two and
one-half stories above ground (1/2 below grade). All arc wood frame, with stucco and concrete
exteriors with pitched, composition shingle roofs, built around 1970. Forty-two of the units have
fireplaces. CPAH added a new community facility in the center of the complex which houses a
computer center, library, multipurpose room and property management office.
The total site contains 3.01 acres and is built at a density of 28 units per acre, an allowable non-
conforming use. There are 64 carports and a total of 142 parking spaces (ratio of 1.7 spaces per
unit). The 1995 assessed value was $2,471,890, and 1995-96 property taxes levied were $33,874.
According to Washington County's Assessor, the 1999 assessed market value of improvements:
$2,744,030 and of land: $672,000.
Legal Description: The site is located in the southeast'/4 of Section 35, Township 1 South, Range
1 West (Willamette Meridian).
Tax Lot: The Washington County Map shows the site as tax lot 23-74-2000, Parcels I, H, and III.
B. Project's Chairitable Purpose
The mission of Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Inc. (CPAH) is to promote a
healthy community through the development of. permanent affordable housing, sustainable
economic growth, and community-based partnerships.
Greenburg Oaks was CPAH's first housing development project. Our acquisition and renovation of
the complex ensured that the 84-units were brought up to and maintained in accordance with current
health and life safety codes, and are affordable to low- and moderate-income residents on a
permanent basis (CPAIT has committed to 40 years of affordability for those at 50 and 60% of
median income; in reality average resident incomes are around 30% of median income, see attached
resident profile).
Partnerships with Tigard's Police Department and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue have enhanced
the safety and quality of life for residents. Partnerships with Community Action
OrganizatioivTleibhborshare and Portland General Electric for significant weatherization
improvements have resulted in reduced utility bills for families residing in the complex. CPAH
works closely with Neighborshare, which provides information and referral as well as emergency
services like food box, rent and utility assistance to qualified residents, based on resources available.
CPAH partners with social service programs such as HopeSpring (a partnership of Lutheran Family
Services, Tualatin Valley Centers and Community Action Organization-CAO) and SAFAH (CAO
program) that provide ongoing case management to help families achieve self-sufficiency.
FEBRUARY 27, 2002 APPLICATION FOR TAX ABATEMENT PAGE 2 OF 4
Greenburg Oaks is located within a census tract which has a higher than average concentration of
low-income rental households (median income $25,843 vs. $35,669 citywide in 1990). The number
of residents without a high school diploma is notably higher than for Tigard as a whole (15% vs.
9%). This area boasted the second highest concentration of children under 9 of the eight census
tracts in Tigard. While this area represents 9% of Tigard's population base, it is home to nearly
161/o of the city's minority households.
The Community Center at Greenburg Oaks is the focal point of the support, skill building and
community building activities that CPAH offers through its resident services program. CPAH's on-
site computer learning center currently offers six personal computers with CD-ROM drives, a
networked printer and high-speed Internet access for use by residents. A recent grant allowed us to
purchase additional technology resources for residents including a scanner, digital camera, and web
design and desktop publishing software. The computer center is used by youth for homework,
research, e-mail and educational games and by adults for job search activities and Internet access.
The Tigard Library has twice obtained grant resources to purchase children's material for our on-
site library. This fall, we received a grant to install built-in cabinetry in the community and
computer center. The new cabinetry greatly enhances the attractiveness and efficient use of the
space (see attached new cabinetry photo).
CPAH also offers an Individual Development Account Program to residents. The program includes
extensive financial literacy traii-iing and matched savings accounts. The savings can be used for
either home ownership or higher education. In February 2002, CPAH kicked off an Individual
Development Account Program for youth. Youth participants take part in financial literacy training
activities and community service and receive matched savings that can be invested in an item of
their choice that is academic, athletic or artistic (see attached fact sheet).
C. Certffication of Resident Income Lewis
Resident income levels are verified upon application. As of May 2001, the average income of
households is $18,000 (see attached resident profile). Households may remain in their units as long
as they income qualify at entry. Rents differ by unit size and income target, but most are in the
$400-600 range, well below the market for the area. Resident income is recertified on a yearly basis
(see attached resident income certification).
D. How Tax Exemption Will Benefit Residue
Our financial analysis for the Greenburg Oaks project assumed property taxes at zero. This results
in a direct reduction in rents of approximately $35,000/84 units = $416 annually per unit. Thus, tax
abatement offers a direct benefit to residents who pay lower rents. Additionally, tax abatement is
key to the long-term sustainability of a project operating with such low rents.
We continue to make capital improvements at the property, and spent over $25,000 in 2001,
primarily on interior replacements such as appliances and flooring. During our first years of
operation, we made a significant investment to address exterior water penetration into the sub-grade
units and though many issues were resolved, a few trouble spots still exist. We expect to make
additional capital expenditures in the near future to solve these problems for the long-term.
Over the past year, we have struggled with declining management performance at the site level. As
a result of turnover of the onsite and site supervisory staff, the management company was no longer
FEBRUARY 27, 2002 APPLICATION FOR TAX ABATEMENT PAGE 3 OF 4
performing as they had been previously. As a result, the financial performance of the property
(which even under excellent management poses a significant challenge) has suffered. CPAH
recognizes that it is fully our responsibility to oversee the management agent, and to that end we are
working diligently to improve our asset management practices and compliance systems. We are
being assisted by several entities with considerable experience in this effort, including the Housing
Development Center in Portland, as well as other local and national intermediaries who work with
community development corporations like CPAH. We changed management companies in January
2002 and are in the process of implementing a detailed plan of action which will result in enhanced
financial performance at Greenburg Oaks.
E. Tax Exempt Stars
CPAH is the general partner of the Villa La Paz Limited Partnership, a single asset nonprofit
corporation established for the purpose of acquiring the apartments and qualifying for low-income
housing tax credits. CPAH's IRS Determination Letter is attached. CPAH undergoes a full audit
of its books annually, as does Greenburg Oaks. Mark Schwing of Markusen & Schwing provides
audit services for CPAH and the Villa La Paz Limited Partnership. The State of Oregon Housing
and Community Services Department and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
both audit the project annually, visiting 50-100% ofthe 84 units.

A Message from the Executive Director & Board of Directors
We are pleased to provide a recap of CPAH's accomplishments for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001. We finished pre-development work on The Village at Washington
Square-CPAH's first new construction project which will bring 26 units of affordable
? housing online in the spring (2002). The Metzger Park Apartments (32 units) received
' new siding, and a variety of capital improvements continued to be implemented at the
Greenburg Oaks Apartments (84 units). A volunteer team helped complete a new land-
scaping plan at our single-family rental home.
We held the most successful Summer Youth Program in our history and began to incor-
porate off-site enrichment activities to our youth services (field trips to play and team).
Participants of the I®A program completed Our resident Neighborhood Watch group elected to adopt a portion of Greenburg Road
a 6-week financial literacy course. to maintain and we welcomed assistance from over eight corporate or civic volunteer
teams and over fifty individuals. We signed new Memorandums of Understanding with
partners in the community, and renewed our commitments with existing partners, par-
ticularly the Tigard-Tualatin Schools, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, Tigard Police,
Community Action Organization/Neighborshare, the Good Neighbor Center, Hope-
Spring and Tualatin Valley Housing Partners.
After six years in operation, we have grown from a staff of one to a staff of four, along
with two full-time VISTA volunteers; from a board of eight to a board of twelve. CPAH
has become a sustainable nonprofit with a solid base of local support and ambitious plans
for the future. Our work is extremely difficult but immensely rewarding. In 1949, the
^^~~r~_^^ U.S. government declared a national goal: a decent home and suitable living environ-
ment for every American family. An ambitious goal - and one that eludes achievement -
but the one that keeps CPAH focused and moving forward!
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue brings its fire L
prevention program to CPAH properties
each summer.

YOUTH IDA (YIDA) PROGRAM (Beginning January 2002)
CPAII's mission is to promote a healthy community through the development of permanent
affordable housing, sustainable economic growth, and community-based partnerships.
Complementing the youth programs already in existence through Resident Services and the adult
WIDA program, the youth IDA program is part of a new and innovative approach to combating
poverty that focuses not just on meeting the most immediate needs of youth from low-income
families, but also on the long-term benefits of giving youth opportunities for their future similar
to those given to youth of middle and upper class families. It works to cultivate sustainable
economic growth for these youth as they mature into adults.
Goals of Youth IDA Program
• To empower youth to set goals.and take personal responsibility at home and at school.
• To learn about money management.
• To remove financial barriers to academic, athletic, and artistic activities for youth whose
families have limited incomes.
• To engage youth in community service activities that benefit the community and build
self-esteem.
• To empower youth to see that it is possiblexo move out of poverty.
What are Youth Individual Development Accounts?
YIDAs are matched saving accounts designed to help youth from low-income families save for
assets that are educational, artistic, or athletic. Examples of permissible assets include, a
computer, class at the Portland Children's Theatre, sports fees and equipment, or a musical
instrument. For every dollar a participant saves, they receive two dollars in matched savings
funds.
Financial Literacy Training
The financial literacy component of the YIDA program consists of bi-monthly money
management classes throughout the duration of participation in the program. These classes are
designed specifically for youth with low-incomes and are taught in an informal way that includes
i topical discussions and money management games. Topics of the classes include: history of
money and banking, setting financial goals, budgeting and saving, advertising, and credit.
Community Service
In addition to saving earned money and depositing it into their accounts, participants can initiate
and participate in community service at area organizations to receive match money. This is ideal
for youth who have no work history or concept of work in that it provides a way for youth to
"work." Not only does the community service element provide a foundational understanding of
work, it fosters a commitment to community service and helps youth gain a wider perspective of
the community around them. This broader perspective could lead to increased interest and'
achievement in school.
Community Need
In Washington County, approximately 4,668 youth aged 10-17 live in poverty (9.3 percent).
One-third of all Oregon high school students fail to earn a high-school diploma, putting our state
dropout rate in the bottom twenty percent nationally. Families with limited incomes face
financial barriers in providing *academic and other opportunities for their children. Budget cuts
in public schools are resulting in fees for extracurricular activities. Programs outside the schools,
such as summer camps, art, drama, and music classes, are often financially out of reach. These
financial barriers make it difficult for youth from lower-income families to participate in
programs that develop skills, build confidence, and bolster achievement in school.

Village at Washington Square Is located at 11157-11163 SW Hall Boulevard, between SW
Spruce and SW Pfaffle in Tigard. The Village at Washington Square is CPAH's first new
construction project. Construction began in August 2001 and construction completion is
scheduled for the end of April 2002 (see construction photos and marketing flyer). The site is
located within the Washington Square Regional Center and is proximate to many employment
opportunities as well as public transportation and other services. The neighborhood has a
combination of single-family and multi-family dwellings. The Village at Washington Square
includes three residential buildings with a total of 26 dwelling units, and a community building all
arranged around a central courtyard/play yard. The development includes one studio, seven one-
bedroom, five two-bedroom, seven three-bedroom and six four-bedroom units. Eleven of the units
will be traditional apartments, while the other 15 will be townhouse style units with entrances on
the second floor. The development will include 31 parking spaces. The development will include
a small green space with benches, a path and a butterfly garden.
The total site contains .84 acres (Lot 1 is .73 acres and Lot 2 is .11 acres). The site was up-zoned
to R-40. The pre-construction assessed value was $177,530 ($77,600 for Lot 1 and $99,930 for
Lot 2) and 2000-2001 property taxes levied were $2,732 ($1,194 for Lot 1 and $1,538 for Lot 2).

The mission of Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Inc. (CPAH) is to promote a
healthy community through the development of: permanent affordable housing, sustainable
economic growth, and community-based partnerships.
The Village at Washington Square will be the first addition of affordable units to the Tigard
housing stock in a decade. The 26 units will be affordable to very low-, low- and moderate-income
residents on a permanent basis (The Village at Washington Square will provide affordable
housing for a minimum of sixty (60) years, with maximum rents regulated by covenants on the
property). Rents will be affordable to households at 30%,45% and 50% of area median income
and significantly below market rents. Half of the units will be three and four bedroom units and
will allow us to serve large low-income families who have often been unable to find larger,
affordable units in Tigard.
CPAH will expan 1 its community partnerships (with Tigard Police, Tigard Library and Tigard-
Tualatin School L shict) and resident services program to the Village at Washington Square.
Apartments at the Village at Washington Square will be made available to participants in the
1 lopesprii,g and SAFAH programs (self-sufficiency programs for families in recovery or escaping
dot ncstic violence) and clients of Tualatin Valley Centets (for individuals in recovery).
The Community Center will be the focal point of the support, skill building and community
building activities offered to residents and will include small computer center. Youth programs
will include homework mentoring, access to computers and high speed Internet, after-school crafts
and story hours, an eleven week Summer Youth Program and a Youth Individual Development

Account Program (financial literacy training and matched savings so youth can invest in a item of
their choice that is academic, athletic or artistic). Adult programs will include Neighborhood
Watch, GED tutoring, access to computers and high speed Internet, job search mentoring and an
Individual Development Account program (a financial literacy and matched savings program to
help low-income families to invest in a home or in education).
The Village at Washington Square is located within a census tract (309) which has a higher than
average concentration of low-income rental households (median income $25,543 vs. $35,669
citywide in 1990). The number of residents without a high school diploma is notably higher than
for Tigard as a whole (15% vs. 9%). This area boasted the second highest concentration of
children under 9 of the eight census tracts in Tigard. While this area represents 9% of Tigard's
population base, it is home to nearly 16% of the city's minority households.
Q cation of Reskient Dome Levels
Resident income levels will be verified upon application. Residents may remain in their units as
long as they income qualify at entry. Rents will vary based on unit size and income targeted (see
attached rent schedule), but most will be in the $300-600 range, well below the market for the
area. Resident income will be certified on an annual basis.
Del Tax Exemption Will Berreft RZesklerds
Our financial analysis for the Village at Washington Square assumed property taxes at zero. For
both the initial development, and long-term operations of the project, full tax abatement is
essential. A rough estimate of property taxes based on the cost of the project plus the cost of the
land is $55,000. This results in a direct reduction in rents of approximately ($2115 per unit per
year, or increased rents of $176 per unit per month). Thus, tax abatement offers a direct benefit to
residents who will pay dramatically lower rents. Tax abatement is key to the long-tern
sustainability of a project operating with such low rents. Rents at these levels are the only option
for families working in the surrounding retail, service sector and light industrial settings.

A. Property Desedption
Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Inc. acquired the single family "Tangela
House" at 9330 SW Tangela in Tigard, on December 31, 1999, with assistance from the
Washington County CDBG program and a loan from Washington Mutual Savings Bank It is
located just two blocks from CPAH's largest multifamily project, Greenburg Oaks (formerly Villa
La Paz). It is on a quiet cul-de-sac in largely single-family residential neighborhood, off Greenburg
Road.
The total site is 5,450 square feet and is zoned R-7 residential. The two-story structure is 1,916
square feet in size. CPAH converted an upstairs bonus room into an additional bedroom and
completed other necessary repairs after initial acquisition.
Legal Description: Barbee Court, Lot 1, Tigard, County of Washington, State of Oregon.
Tax Lot: 1 S 135DC-05300.
H. "eces ClarkaMe Purpose
The mission of Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Inc. (CPAH) is to promote a
healthy community through the development of: permanent affordable housing, sustainable
economic growth, and community-based partnerships.
CPAH acquired the four-bedroom single family home in order to assist the County and the Good
Neighbor Center Shelter in meeting a `replacement unit' requirement triggered by the Uniform
Relocation Act when the shelter acquired its current site and demolished a single family home
housing a low-income family. CPAH completed needed repairs and upgraded the home to a five-
bedroom, in order to provide a rare opportunity in our community-an affordable single-family
rental for a very large family.
The home is proximate to CPAH's Greenburg Oaks property, where management and resident
services are available. The residents of this home are very low-income and eligible for services
CPAH offers and coordinates. These services include a computer center, community room,
neighborhood watch, Individual Development Account and other programs. The resident services
coordinator personally visits the home on a regular basis to ensure that the property is well
maintained and to develop an ongoing relationship with the residents.
The home is located within a census tract (309) which has a higher than average concentration of
low-income rental households (median income $25,843 vs. $35,669 citywide in 1990). The
number of residents without a high school diploma is notably higher than for Tigard as a whole
(15% vs. 9%). This area boasted the second highest concentration of children under 9 of the eight
census tracts in Tigard. While this area represents 9% of Tigard's population base, it is home to
nearly 16% of the city's minority households.
C. Certification of Resident Income Levels
Resident income level is verified upon application, and must be less than 60% of the area's
median income. Rent for this home has been set at $950, well below that set by HUD's Fair
Market Rent schedule for a five bedroom ($1296). HUD's Fair Market Rents are significantly
lower than the average rents in a given area, but indicate the maximum rent an individual with

Section 8 rental assistance may choose under the program. Income is recertified on an annual
basis.
D. Fluent Tax Exemption Vill Benefft Plesklert
Taxes for the year 2000-2001 were $2,100, or $175 per month. We developed our initial proforma
with debt service coverage at 1.15 showing full tax abatement, and rent of $850. We rented the
home for $950, and did not file a tax abatement application in the first year we operated it.
Because if was our first single family home, we wanted to ensure that our operating budget
performed as assumed. We commissioned a thorough inspection survey prior to purchase, and
offered a reduced price in order to make additional safety repairs.
During the first year of operation, we have replaced the hot water heater and fiunace components,
as well as completing roof repairs. A volunteer group completed an upgrade to the landscaping in
summer 2001 as part of Washington County Clean and Green. Plans to paint home through a
volunteer team in spring 2001 fell through and we working on soliciting a team for spring/summer
2002. Without tax abatement, we would need to implement a rent increase of $175 monthly
(based on 2000-2001 property taxes). Thus tax abatement provides a direct benefit to the low-
income residents who pay a lower rent.
E. Tax Exempt boas
CPAH owns the Tangela property, with Washington County in first position and Washington
Mutual in second on the outstanding debt. CPAH is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, which is

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) The Organization and Summae-y of Significant Accounting Policies
The Organization
Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Inc. (CPAH) is a nonprofit
Corporation, incorporated under the laws of the State of Oregon. CPAH has
programs to provide housing, community development and community self--help
projects to low and moderate income persons in Washington County.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
CPAH follows the accrual basis of accounting applicable to not-for-profit
organizations. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues and support are
recorded as earned and expenses are recorded as incurred. Revenues for
services to the public are recognized as services are provided. Support from
contributors is recorded as unconditional promises to give are received. For
grant and contract supported activities, revenues are recorded as expenses
eligible for reimbursement are incurred.: When grant and contract payments are
received prior to incurring eligible expenses, those amounts are reflected s
deferred revenues. CPAH reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted
support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the
donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time
restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net
assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of
activities as net assets released from restrictions. CPAH reports all gifts as
unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated
assets must be used. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit restrictions that
specify how the assets are to be used to acquire long-lived assets are reported as
restricted support. Absent explicit donor stipulations about how long long-lived
assets must be maintained, CPAH reports expirations of donor restrictions when
the donated or acquire long-lived assets are purchased.

Motes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2001 and 2000
(1) The Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-
Continued
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Economic Risk
CPAH receives a substantial portion of its support from governmental agencies.
If these funds were not available CPAH might have difficulty continuing
operations. In the opinion of management, CPAH will continue to receive
sufficient funding to assure its existence.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents consist of cash in banks-checking and money market.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
CPAH estimates die fair values of its various financial instruments do not differ
materially from the aggregate carrying value of its financial instruments recorded
in the accompanying Statement of Financial Position.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable that are uncollectible are charged directly to expense. This
method is not materially different in result from the allowance method required
by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management
receivables at June 30, 2001 and 2000 are fully collectible.
Investments
Investments in marketable securities are stated on the basis of current quoted
market prices. Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the first-in,
first-out method. Unrealized gains and losses are also included in the change in
net assets

Fixed Assets
Purchased fixed assets are stated at cost. Donated fixed assets are recorded at
their estimated fair value at date of donation. CPAH generally capitalizes
expenditures for fixed assets in excess of $500. Depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of four to forty years.
Predeveloainent Costs
Redevelopment costs related to the conversion of property at Hall Blvd. into a
26 unit low-income housing project are capitalized in the accompanying
Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2001. The project is structured as
a low-income housing tax credit limited partnership, named the Tillage at
Washington Square limited partnership (see Note 4). CPAH is a .1 percent
general partner in the project. Construction commenced during 2001.
Compensated Absences
Compensated absences for vested sick and vacation pay are charged to expense
when it is earned by the employee.
Donated Services
Certain individuals, including Board of Directors members, donate substantial
time to the operations of CPAII Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 116 significantly limits the amount of donated services that may be recorded
in the financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles require that
only donated services that create non-financial assets and which would need to
have been purchased if not donated, are reflected in the financial statements.
When such amounts are recorded, they are valued at the equivalent market rate
at which the service could have been purchased.

(1)The Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-
Continued
Donated Goods
Individuals and organizations, from time to time, donate goods to CPAH to
benefit clients. CPAH values these based on management's judgment, at fair
value at the date of donation, and records the receipt and subsequent
disbursement of these goods as in-kind revenues and expenses, respectively.
Certain donated rent is recorded as in-kind revenue and expense based on the
donor's estimate of the fair value of the rent.
Net Asset Balances
Net assets are the excess of assets over liabilities. A component of net assets are
the investment in fixed assets, which is the cost of fixed assets, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization, and less any indebtedness related to their
construction or purchase. Certain net asset balances are temporarily restricted.
Functional Allocation of Expenses
The costs of providing the various programs have been summarized in the
statement of functional expense. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated
among the programs benefited based on time studies and management judgment.
Income Tax Exemption
CPAH is a tax-exempt corporation within the provisions of Internal Revenue
Code Section 501(c)(3) and is not classified as a private foundation. It is
management's opinion that none of CPAH's present activities are subject to
unrelated business income taxes; therefore, no provisions for income taxes has
been made in the accompanying financial statements.

(4) Investment in Low Income Housing Limited Partnerships
CPAH is a .1 percent general partner in both the Villa La Paz Limited
Partnership (Villa) and the Village at Washington Square Limited Partnership
(Washington Square). Key Bank National Association is the 99.9% limited
partner in both partnerships. The partnerships were formed to build and operate
housing facilities for low-income individuals in Tigard, Oregon. The limited
partner contributed capital in expectation of receiving Low-Income Housing
Credits allowed under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code.
As the general partner, CPAH is responsible for the operation of the facilities
and the management of the partnerships. The partnership agreements require
CPAH to assume substantially all risks of operation, and the risks that Low-
Income Housing Credits will be of value to the limited partner.
In the event of partnership dissolution, the net assets of the partnership are to be
distributed to the partners in accordance with the balances in their partnership
accounts.
i
At any time after the Low Income Housing Tax Credit compliance period, which
is 15 years after the building is placed in service, CPAH has the option to
purchase the limited partners' interest at the fair market value of such interest.
The investment in Villa and Washington Square are recorded at cost and are
adjusted annually to recognize CPAH's share of earnings or losses, in
accordance with prevailing practices for similar types of projects. CPAH could
be liable for significant payments if the partnerships do not produce financial
results as expected, however management does not consider such liabilities to be
likely.
