TUALATIN CITY COUNCIL/TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/
TIGARD-TUALATIN SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD MEETING
OCTOBER 7, 2002
PRESENT: Tualatin Mayor Lou Ogden, Tualatin Councilors Chris Bergstrom, Bob Boryska,
Helen Cain, Steve Chrisman, Ed Truax, Tony Weller; Tualatin City Manager
Steve Wheeler
Tigard Mayor Jim Griffith, Tigard Councilors Craig Dirksen, Brian Moore, Ken

Caroline Neunzert; Tigard-Tualatin School Superintendent Steve Lowder
ABSENT: Patricia Biggs, Tigard-Tualatin School Board
Tualatin Mayor Lou Ogden called the meeting to order at 6:40 p.m.
1. INTRODUCTION -The city officials of Tigard, Tualatin, and the Tigard-Tualatin School
District Board members that were present introduced themselves.
2. ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
1. Discussion on Substance Abuse Reported In Asset Survey
Tualatin Mayor Ogden began with a topic for discussion on the substance abuse
portion of the Take the Time Asset Survey that was done last year by middle and high
school students. He also noted there were some members of the Tualatin Youth
Advisory Council present. Mayor Ogden said he believes a real problem is adults do
not always view youth as part of the decision-making process, and it underscores our
systemic substance abuse problem. His interest is what can cities and communities
can do to help youth in our society. Tualatin Cifi/ Manager Steve Wheeler said the
substance abuse segment from the survey was discussed at a recent Tualatin City
Council work session, and distributed a statistics sheet. There was concern on the
high percentages of responses on substance abuse and related issues. It was noted
that the School District has not yet had the opportunity to distribute the completed
results of the asset survey to the schools and parents, but will be doing so next
month. Superintendent Lowder wanted to note however, that the percentages are
slightly lower than those in Washington County and across the nation. Mayor Ogden
said what is alarming is the magnitude of the percentages, and is the entire cross-
section of youth, not just a certain segment. His perception is most parents do not
believe that these types of abuses with youth are a problem in the community.
SPECIAL TUALATIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF OCTOBER 7 ,2002 -2-
1. Discussion on Substance Abuse Reported In Asset Survey [continued from
previous page]
School Board Chair Mark Chism said this data is not surprising, and he noted there
are policies and programs in place within the schools. They may not be as effective
as hoped, but clearly the School District has a role to play. The bigger question
remains is what role cities could play in helping to facilitate the issues and partner
more effectively.
Tualatin Councilor Chrisman asked about Tigard's recent after-school program.
Tigard Mayor Griffith said the Youth Forum has an after-school program in some of
the schools so kids would have something to do after school until parents get home.
The program appears to be working very well, and they have obtained a grant to also
supply food, as it became apparent that for some of the youth it would be their
primary meal/food for the day. Discussion followed.
Mayor Ogden said he believes the awareness level is important and how to create
the community support remains the question. One question to consider is where the
kids get drugs and the alcohol, and usually it is from home. It was recognized that this
is a community-wide issue and there are some things that can be done better, but it is
going to be a big job. Mayor Ogden wanted to note that this was not going to be
"fixed" at this meeting, but he wanted to start the discussion.
Tualatin Youth Council representatives commented that contacting parents and
passing the asset survey on to parents was a good idea.
2. Tualatin Facility Visioning Update
Tualatin City Manager Wheeler said Tualatin is actively engaged in facility visioning.
Paul Hennon, Tualatin Community Services Director gave a brief update on the
progress to date. He noted there will be more community presentations,
questionnaires distributed, and in the end the hope is to learn the level of community
support. The process expects to wrap up by next spring. Mr. Wheeler said there is an
active ad-hoc committee that has been working on this process. He said the City also
appreciated being able to utilize the Back to School nights, the Crawfish Festival and
other opportunities to get information out to the community.
3. Forthcoming Facility Building Plans, Tigard-Tualatin School District; Tigard and
Tualatin
Tigard-Tualatin School Superintendent Lowder introduced the District's recently hired
project manager, Stephen Poague, who will oversee the $85.9 bond measure
approved by voters in May. Mr. Poague noted the project schedule of three
replacement elementary schools, and additions to two middle schools is for the fall of
2004. Additions/renovations at Tualatin and Tigard High Schools are planned for a
2004-05 timeframe. A new elementary school is set for a 2005 completion date.
roughly 11 major projects. Tualatin Councilor Chrisman asked about the plans for
Tualatin Elementary School, and its historic relevance. Mr. Poague said the plan is
for demolition of old facility and possible salvage of parts of the old school to
incorporate into the new school. There is also planned redevelopment of the site for a
magnet school. It was noted that this is a district-wide capital improvement program.
SPECIAL TUALATIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF OCTOBER 7. 2002 -3-
3. Forthcoming Facility Building Plans, Tigard-Tualatin School District; Tigard and
Tualatin
[continued from previous page]
Tigard City Manager Monahan also noted that if it had not been for the School District
and city working together, the city would not have been successful in acquiring a new
library site. The Libran; is scheduled to be completed and to open in 2004. They have
a very aggressive plan to move forward with construction.
4. Pedestrian Bridge Across the Tualatin River
Tualatin City Manager Wheeler said Tigard and Tualatin have had ongoing
discussion about this project and remain interested in a pedestrian bridge. The bridge
would link three parks together; Cook Park in Tigard, Community Park in Tualatin,
and Durham City Park in Durham. A lobbying effort has been ongoing but there will
not be any federal money forthcoming this year. However Tualatin remains
committed to the project, and also notes dedicated interested from Tigard, and
Washington County as well. Tigard Mayor Griffith asked if there has been any
interest by Metro on this project, and Mr. Wheeler said he had heard of some interest
expressed but he is not certain at this point of any Metro commitment. Brief
discussion followed.
5. Joint Use of Equipment and Property Among Cities and School District
Superintendent Lowder asked School District Community Relations Director Susan
Stark-Haydon, to discuss the joint use of property owned by the School District. The
City of Tigard is looking into joint use of property owned by the School District. Mr.
Monahan said there has been discussion that on one of the school sites, where the
city would bury a water reservoir on the grounds of an elementary school, and the
School District has offered the use of school property for a skateboard park in Tigard.
It makes sense to the public to maximize the facility and property. Tigard Mayor
Griffith said they are very supportive of joint utilization of space between the district
and cities, which is getting scarcer. The first step is working well, and it is a win-win
situation. Providing better services to our citizens is a good thing.
6. Tigard Approach to Juvenile Cases and Peer Court
Tigard City Manager Monahan said over the last few months Tigard has transferred
some juvenile cases to their municipal court. Tigard's approach is to get the youthful
offender, between the ages of 14 and 17, in a program, and to date officials believe it
is successful. It requires the parents and youth to appear before the judge, with the
judge looking at corrective punishment, and build on that by assigning community
service projects. Tigard will report back at a later date with the progress of the
program, but wanted to mention the initial success. A question was asked and Mr.
Monahan said the caseload amounts to approximately 10-20 cases per month, which
deals primarily with misdemeanors, non-violent crime, first-time offenders. Tigard
does not have additional funding for the increased caseload, and it does increase the
salary for the municipal judge. Tualatin Councilor Weller asked and Mr. Monahan
answered that there is not a problem in creating community service projects. Brief
discussion followed.
SPECIAL TUALATIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF OCTOBER 7. 2002 -4-
7. Clean Water Services Master Plan
Tigard City Manager Monahan said Tigard is concerned about the apparent growth of
the Clean Water Services (CWS) plant at the intersection of Hall Boulevard and
Durham Road. CWS's approved master plan has indicated major additions to be
constructed at that site, which calls for doubling its capacity to treat sewage,
impacting nearby Durham Elementary and Tigard High School. Tigard will continue to
monitor their plans for the site and asked that the School District and Tualatin meet to
discuss the CWS master plan, and engage CWS in conversations about their master
plan. Superintendent Lowder said Durham Elementary School's access would be
affected. There is a substantial proposed increase of the site and Tigard Mayor
Griffith noted they have some real issues with that and wanted CWS to be aware of
their concern. Discussion followed. Mr. Monahan said the last plans they saw were in
1999. Mr. Wheeler said he recognizes the School District and Tigard's concern, but
asked what role Tualatin would have. Mr. Monahan explained there are run-off
issues, etc. Tigard is planning a meeting for next month and all present will be
invited, along with the City of Durham.
8. New Development Impact and Process Fee Charges - City and School District
Relationship
Superintendent Lowder said with the new construction happening in the School
District, and the construction fees that are charged by cities, asked if there could be
any relief from those fees. Tigard City Manager Monahan said the fees that are
charged are based on a methodology, and if cities do not pay the fees, then
somebody has to. If the School District does not pay the fees, the funds would have
to be taken out of the city's general fund. Tualatin City Manager Wheeler noted it
would be the same with Tualatin. Tualatin Mayor Ogden noted he would like to know
exactly how many dollars it amounts to in fees, and gave an example that the recently
constructed Tualatin Police Facility fees were factored into the bond issue. Mayor
Ogden gave a brief explanation of how the fee process works for cities. Tigard
Councilor Moore said there is also a concern about equity. School Board Chair
Chism said the District welcomed the participation of the cities and where there are
opportunities to reduce costs on projects would be a good opportunity. Brief
discussion followed.
9. Joint Use and Reciprocity for District and City Facilities
The School District added from the earlier discussion on continuing to look at working
collaboratively with the cities of Tigard and Tualatin, along with the School District on
combining professional services, such as HVAC services, locksmith and custodial
services, etc., which would provide those services more efficiently.
10. Other Issues
Superintendent Lowder mentioned the School District will be holding a meeting on
October 16, 2002 at Tigard High School auditorium. They have invited 18 school
districts to discuss concepts/ideas, and any common ground issues in preparation for
the next legislative session. All are invited to attend.
Tualatin City Manager Wheeler gave a brief update on the Durham Quarry project, in
response to Tigard Councilor Scheckla's request. The project site is located at
Bridgeport Road. Mr. Wheeler said the development is called Bridgeport Village and
the County, which owns the property, is nearing an agreement with Opus Northwest
with the intention of moving forward with the project. Mr. Wheeler explained what type
of development would likely be done. He also said the project will address traffic
issues and will not move forward until those issues are resolved. Brief discussion
SPECIAL TUALATIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF OCTOBER 7. 2002 -5-
followed. Mayor Ogden noted that there should be an opportunity to get a look at this
project as it has a huge impact on both communities, and asked for a detailed master
plan to be brought to both city councils.
Tualatin Mayor Ogden said in his dealings with the National League of Cities, it has
been noted by other cities that it has not always been a smooth relationship with the
cities and their local school districts. He wanted to note the positive and great
relationship that our cities have with the Tigard-Tualatin School District and he
appreciated it.
It was decided to meet again in six months.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Approve Labor Attorney Services Contract and Authorize the City Manager to Sign IX/ PREPARED BY: and Zodrow DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should Council, as the Local Contract Review Board, approve a contract (professional services agreement) for
labor attorney services with the legal firm of Bullard, Smith, Jernstedt and Wilson?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve contract with the firm and authorize City Manager to sign
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Since 1989 the law firm of Bullard, Smith, Jernstedt and Wilson have provided the City of Tigard with labor
attorney services as it relates to the all aspects of collective bargaining with the Tigard Police Officers Association
and the SEIU-OPEU Local 503. The City recently conducted a Request for Proposals for Labor Attorney Services
in compliance with the guidelines established in the City's Purchasing Rules. Six (6) firms submitted responses to
the RFP. A committee comprised of the City Manager, Finance Director, Chief of Police and Human Resources
Director reviewed the submittals and narrowed the finalists to three (3) firms. Interviews were conducted with the
three firms, and a final determination was made to select the Bullard firm. The Committee felt that this firm offered
not only a long term familiarity with the City's labor relations environment and goals, but also represented a depth
and range of labor law experience in the public sector that was unmatched by the other firms. The major services
provided for in this contract include labor negotiations, contract administration, grievance processing,
representation at arbitration and other dispute resolution hearings, and other employment activities related to the
administration of the SEIU-OPEU and TPOA collective bargaining agreements.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Other firms were interviewed as part of the selection process

Attomey-labor PS contract.doc 2
7. INDEMNITY:
a. The City has relied upon the professional ability and training of Legal Counsel as a material
inducement to enter into this Agreement. Legal Counsel represents to the City that the work under
this contract will be performed in accordance with the professional practices and standards as well
as the requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, it being understood that acceptance
of Legal Counsel's work by the City shall not operate as a waiver or release. If any aspect of this
indemnity shall be found to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this indemnification.
b. Claims for other than Professional Liability. Legal Counsel shall defend, save and hold
harmless the City of Tigard, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all liability, causes
of action, claims, losses, damages, judgments or other costs including attorney's fees and
witness costs, and all expenses(at both trial and appeal level, whether or not a trial or appeal

subcontractors, sub-consultants, agents or employees under this contract

losses, damages, judgments, or other costs including attorney's fees and witness costs and all
expenses (at both trial and appeal level, whether or not a trial or appeal ever takes place)
incidental to the investigation and defense thereof, arising out of the professional negligent acts,
errors or omissions of Legal Counsel or its subcontractors, sub-consultants, agents or employees

by Legal Counsel unrelated to the quality of professional services provided by Legal Counsel.

At any time and without cause, City shall have the right in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement

13. TERMINATION WITH CAUSE:
a. City may terminate this Agreement effective upon delivery of written notice to Legal Counsel, or at
such later date as may be established by City, under any of the following conditions:
i. If City funding from federal, state, local, or other sources is not obtained and continued at
levels sufficient to allow for the purchase of the indicated quantity of services. This
Agreement may be modified to accommodate a reduction in funds
ii. If federal or state regulations or guidelines are modified, changed, or interpreted in such a
way that the services are no longer allowable or appropriate for purchase under this
Agreement.
iii. If any license or certificate required by law or regulation to be held by Legal Counsel, its
subcontractors, agents, and employees to provide the services required by this Agreement
is for any reason denied, revoked, or not renewed.
iv. If Legal Counsel becomes insolvent, if voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy is
filed by or against Legal Counsel, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for Legal Counsel, or
if there is an assignment for the benefit of creditors of Legal Counsel.
Any such termination of this agreement under paragraph (a) shall be without prejudice to any obligations or
liabilities of either party already accrued prior to such termination.
b. City, by written notice of default (including breach of contract) to Legal Counsel, may terminate
the whole or any part of this Agreement:
i. If Legal Counsel fails to provide services called for by this agreement within the time
specified herein or any extension thereof, or
ii. If Legal Counsel fails to perform any of the other provisions of this Agreement, or so fails

(10) days or such other period as City may authorize.
iii. If Legal Counsel fails to eliminate a conflict as described in Section 11 of this agreement.

contract) by Legal Counsel shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under this Agreement.
If City terminates this Agreement under paragraph (b), Legal Counsel shall be entitled to receive as full
payment for all services satisfactorily rendered and expenses incurred, an amount which bears the same
ratio to the total fees specified in this Agreement as the services satisfactorily rendered by Legal Counsel
bear to the total services otherwise required to be performed for such total fee; provided, that there shall be
deducted from such amount the amount of damages, if any, sustained by City due to breach of contract by
Legal Counsel. Damages for breach of contract shall be those allowed by Oregon law, reasonable and
necessary attorney fees, and other costs of litigation at trial and upon appeal.
L.Att,,,y1.aborPS contract.doc

the parties so disenabled, including but not restricted to, an act of God or of a public enemy, civil unrest,
volcano, earthquake, fire, flood, epidemic, quarantine restriction, area-wide strike, freight embargo,
unusually severe weather or delay of subcontractor or supplies due to such cause; provided that the parties
so disenabled shall within ten (10) days from the beginning of such delay, notify the other party in writing
of the cause of delay and its probable extent. Such notification shall not be the basis for a claim for
additional compensation. Each party shall, however, make all reasonable efforts to remove or eliminate
such a cause of delay or default and shall, upon cessation of the cause, diligently pursue performance of its
obligation under the Agreement.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Update on the New Tigard Library
PREPARED BY: Margaret Barnes DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL,
Presentation by staff to update the City Council about the new library.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The purpose of this presentation is to communicate recent events and accomplishments related to the new Tigard
Library.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
On May 21, 2002, Tigard voters passed a $13 million bond measure for the construction of a new library of
approximately 47,000 square feet. This amount will pay for land acquisition, the designing, building and furnishing
of the new library, parking and related street improvements. The site of the new library is a 14.7-acre property
located along Hall Boulevard near O'Mara Street.
Since the passage of the bond, SRG Partnerships, PC has been selected by the City as the architectural firm for this
project. The City has also selected the firm, Shiels Obletz Johnsen, Inc. to serve as the City's representative for the
project. Hoffman Construction will be the general contractor.
As part of its effort to ensure that the new library truly represents Tigard, SRG Partnership has conducted several
meetings with citizens and library staff. In September, the architects conducted two workshops with the New
Library Resource Team. Another workshop is scheduled for late October.
We have scheduled a Community Meeting on the New Library for Wednesday, October 16. This will be an
opportunity for citizens to meet the architects and share their ideas about how the New Library should represent
Tigard. In September the first issue of Diggin' the Dirt was transmitted to nearly 70 people in the community. We
hope to continue to add to the mailing list. At this meeting staff is prepared to answer questions.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Update on the proposed local option levy for Washington County Cooperative
Library Services (WCCLS)
PREPARED BY: Margaret Barnes DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
The purpose of this presentation is to provide City Council information on the proposed countywide local option
library levy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational item.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
In December 2001, February and March 2002, staff presented preliminary information to the Council about the
proposed, five-year WCCLS local option levy. The Tigard Public Library along with public libraries throughout
Washington County is experiencing significant increases in use. An example of this increase in usage for the Tigard
Library includes increased participation in Summer Reading programs, attendance at library sponsored events and
an increase in overall circulation. In May 2002, based on an analysis conducted by WCCLS the Washington
County Board of Commissioners authorized the placement of a five-year levy for library operations on the
November 5, 2002, ballot. In August 2002, Eva Calcagno, Manager of WCCLS presented information to the
Council about the WCCLS local option levy. In the current fiscal year approximately 60 percent of the library
budget is supported by WCCLS funding.
At this meeting staff is prepared to present additional information to the Council about the levy and to answer any
questions the Council may have

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE 2002 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
PREPARED BY: Ron Goodpaster DEPT HEAD OK - CITY MGR OKY _VP ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
The issue before the City Council is to hold a public hearing regarding this grant and then to accept the grant and to
approve the spending of the funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends accepting the grant and authorizing the spending of the funds.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
This is the seventh Department of Justice Law Enforcement Block Grant the Police Department has received. The
grant amount is for $24,361, which requires a 10 percent match of $2707, which brings the total value of the grant
to $27,068. The requirements of the grant are that the funds be spent to reduce crime and improve public safety.
There are seven categories in which the funds can be spent. These funds will be spent in the category entitled
"Supporting Law Enforcement."
The grant requires a review by a citizen advisory committee made up of representatives from the local police, local
prosecutor's office, local court system, local school district, and a community representative in crime prevention.
This committee has recommendation rights to the Police Department regarding how the funds are spent. The
recommendation before you is the one that is approved by the Citizen Advisory Committee.
These funds cannot be used to supplant any existing funds or pending purchases. Before the City actually receives
the funds and spends them, the City is required to hold a public hearing regarding the proposed use of the funds,
which is the purpose for the agenda item this evening.
The funds from this grant are going to be spent for the following items:
$13,268 This money will be used to fund the purchase of 5 automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The
AEDs will be used in the field and also at City Hall to be used for life-saving early defibrillation to
improve the survival odds of citizens struck down by sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). A leading cause
of death in the United States, SCA claims approximately one life every 2 minutes, nearly 600 lives
per day, totaling 220,000 a year. Only 7 percent will likely survive. That is more deaths than
caused by house fires, prostate cancer, breast cancer and automobile accidents combined. Many
public areas have already achieved impressive results, with survival rates averaging 20 percent and
as high as 75 percent. SCA victims' chances of success reduce 7 to 10 percent each minute, and by
5 minutes have approximately a 50150 chance of survival. Rescue attempts are most often
successful when defibrillation is administered within the first few miiiutes of onset. Beyond 10
minutes, the victim's chance of survival is practically nonexistent. The equipment we wish to
purchase has been reviewed and is recommended by the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue and is
extremely easy to use. In the next couple of weeks I will be demonstrating the equipment for you.
$800 This is to purchase a CRASH training program directed at high school drivers. The program
consists of 40 traffic safety activities that are integrated into school science and math programs.
CRASH uses automobile crashes as a basis for teaching physics, physical science, biology, math
and driver's education topics at the high school level. We have talked with teachers at both Tigard
High School and ABLE, and every teacher we have spoken to has been excited about implementing
this instruction. The instruction will be partially presented to the students by our High School
Resource Officer, Glen Scruggs.
$8,000 This is to purchase a Web ZEDS software program that allows us to continue in the Oregon Law
Enforcement Data System. The system changed over the last year, and all law enforcement
organizations had to seek an alternative way to access the database. This program is one of two
programs that are purchased by most all law enforcement in the State of Oregon. Web LEDS
allows us to connect with LEDS (Law Enforcement Data System) which gives us access to drivers'
information, criminal history, wants, all points bulletins, Homeland Security information, criminal
histories, and is our gateway to the law enforcement community throughout the United States and
Canada. We cannot operate without this software.
$1,750 This will go to the Tigard-Tualatin School District to be used at Twality and Fowler Middle Schools
to fund recognition certificates and fast food coupons for the "Do the Right Thing" Program for
students. In this program, school staff recognizes students that made good choices. This has been
an extremely successful program in the past year that we supported. The enrollment at Twality is at
an all-time high. At the same time, the referrals for disciplinary action are at an all-time low; and
the School feels that this program has a large impact on that.
$1,750 This will be given to the Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) for their after-school
program. We have assisted in the funding of this program before, and they are starting to see some
significant results with some of their young readers advancing 2 grade levels with the additional
assistance they receive through the after-school program.
$1,500 This will fund a needed laptop computer for the Municipal Court so they can enter information in
the Court. This will assist them with their work load.
This brings the total expenditure to $27,068. The City match of 10 percent, or $2,707, is available in our existing
budget.
Your approval of this will allow us to immediately draw down the funds from the Federal Government and then
spend them for the above-listed items.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None.
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
These expenditures would address the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow Transportation and Traffic in regards to
improving traffic safety. The other expenditures would address the Public Safety Goal on Enhancing Community
Public Safety.
ATTACHMENT LIST
There are 2 attachments.
1. Copy of information regarding sudden cardiac arrest.
2. A copy of information regarding the CRASH Program.
FISCAL NOTES
The $2,707 is available in this FY budget.

Community Resources to Help Save Lives
What You Need to Know about Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Did you know that each year in the United States, 250,000-adults die from
sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) that occurs outside a hospital?
Did you know there is a cure for most cases of SCA--prompt delivery of an
electric shock to the heart?
Did you know that defibrillators are most effective at restarting the heart when
they are used within the first few minutes after collapse?
Did you know that the average SCA survival rate in the U.S. is seven percent,
but in some settings, survival rates are as high as 50%?
Did you know that automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can be used safely
and effectively by almost anyone with just a few hours of training?
Did you know that state and federal Good Samaritan laws protect persons who
use AEDs in good faith?
Did you know that the target timeframe from the time the victim collapses until
delivery of the first shock is five minutes, and even the best
emergency medical services (EMS) systems cannot always get to
the scene of an emergency this quickly?
Did you know that more and more community responders are being trained and
equipped with AEDs, including public safety personnel (police, fire
and EMS), security guards, flight attendants, athletic trainers,
lifeguards, ship crews, ski patrol and retirement community staff?
Does your community have an effective, integrated system for rapid delivery of
defibrillation? If you or a loved one collapsed right now, how long would it take
before a defibrillator was on the scene?
To learn more about how you can help improve survival from sudden cardiac
arrest in your community, contact the National Center for Early Defibrillation.
Why? Because so many more can survive!Tm

Re: CRASH
Sir,
I am writing this memo to request that the purchase of CRASH be included in the Department's block
grant proposal.
CRASH consists of forty traffic safety activities that are integrated into a school's science and math
programs. CRASH uses automobile crashes as a basis for teaching physics, physical science, biology,
math, and driver's education topics at a high school level.
As an example one of CRASH's lesson plans allows student's to reconstruct an "accident' staged by
an officer. The students measure the "accident's" skid marks and use a drag sled to measure the
pavement's friction. The students compare their findings to statements from a police officer's report.
Two very different goals are met with this instruction. The school's goal of educating their students in
the application of classroom leaming is met. Our department's goal of educating students in the
necessity of safe driving and the nature of police work is also met.
CRASH offers us a very viable opportunity to partner with Tigard High School in a portion of the
educational process. I have talked about CRASH with teachers at both Tigard High School and ABLE.
Every teacher I have spoken to has been excited about implementing this instruction.
I have attached a list of materials and activities that are provided when CRASH is purchased. CRASH
costs $800.00 and can be purchased via the Internet or mail order.
i
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Further information about CRASH can
also be seen at www.legalsciences.com.
Cordially,
Glen Scruggs
