MINUTES
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING
January 6, 2003
Tigard City Hall
Red Rock Conference Room
1. Roll Call and Call to Order
Roll Call was conducted at 12:27 p.m.
Council Present: Mayor Griffith; Councilors Dirksen, Moore, Sherwood and Wilson.
Prior to the initiation of the meeting, Deputy City Recorder Liz Newton swore in
Mayor Jim Griffith, Councilor Sydney Sherwood, and Councilor Nick Wilson who
were elected by the voters in November 2002 for terms initiating in January 2003.
Others Present: Finance Director Craig Prosser, City Manager Bill Monahan, citizen
Paul Owen, off duty Police Officer Glen Scruggs.
11. Financial Plan Update
Finance Director Craig Prosser gave a PowerPoint presentation on the City's financial
picture. He explained the process which has been followed during prior years, and he
discussed the status of budget preparation for fiscal year 2003-04. Craig discussed the
major causes of our anticipated financial issues. The economy and reduced revenues,
coupled with expected increased demand for services were cited. Personnel services
costs will increase due to a decision in 2002 to assume the PERS employee pick up,
the PERS rate issue statewide, and contractual COLA commitments. In addition, loss
of the WCCLS levy election in November will have a significant impact on revenue
from WCCLS thus reducing funding available for the Tigard Library budget.
Options available to the City include cutting expenses, raising revenues, or reallocation
of costs between li;nds. Mr. Prosser presented some options:
• Cut only option using ten percent as a start. This would result in cutting
approximately 15.8 positions. The approach would require all general fund
departments reduce positions and funding. Craig stated some sample service
impacts.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - January 6, 2003 page 1
If the cut-only option is taken, the financial picture for fiscal year 2003-04 and
2004-05 improves, but the problem remains.
A revenue only option, with voters asked to approve a local option levy, was
discussed. The levy could be presented in either May 2004 or November 2004.
A May 2004 election would generate funds as of November 2004 while the
November 2004 election would not generate funding until November 2005.
Possible revenue sources were discussed including increasing fees, adjusting
franchise fees, and adopting a street utility fee.
Mr. Prosser noted that he and City staff will continue to refine the forecast for the
coming year. He asked the Council if there are any options they did not wish to
pursue. The Council asked for an explanation of the PERS issue. Mr. Prosser noted
that we are receiving some information from PERS, our staff is participating in
discussions, and the Oregon Legislature will be addressing the issue over the coming
months.
Council gave direction to continue looking at fees, particularly where the fee is
connected to the service performed. The Council favored a balanced approach of
increasing fees and cutting costs.
111. Review Final Report - Goals 2002
City Manager Monahan reported on the status of each of the City Council goals from
2002. Since the Council has received quarterly updates on the goals and received
materials in advance of the meeting, it was not necessary that a large amount of time
be devoted to reviewing prior goal achievement. However, the following was
achieved:
Goal 1 - Transportation
Goal information was provided by staff in the packet. The Council was satisfied with
the information presented.
Goal 2 - Parks and Recreation
Goals were discussed, the Mayor then suggested that it may be time for the Council to
' consider establishing a parks and recreation committee.
i
iGoal 3 - Downtown
Much progress has been made in this goal. The Council made more progress in 2002
than anticipated, as Councilor Dirksen lead formation of the new task force for the
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - January 6, 2003 page 2
area. While the committee met and discussed commuter rail opportunities, the zoning
for the area was not reviewed.
Goal 4 - Water
The City continues to explore the options of joining with Portland or the Joint Water
Commission. Councilor Moore is now the Council representative to the Bull Run
discussions. He suggested that the City may wish to consider placing a ballot measure
before the voters at some time to consider using the Willamette River source. The
suggestion was to make that option available should it need to be considered in
comparison to the other opportunities.
Goal 5 - Growth Management
No decision has been made whether to pursue annexation of the Bull Mountain area.
Studies to gather information on the pros and cons of annexation continue. Progress
was made during the past year on the Durham Quarry, affordable housing, and
discussion of the implementation of the Washington Square Regional Center. An
effort was made to evaluate the opportunity to create a Tigard post office, however,
after discussions with the post office and through input from our local congressman, it
appears that no opportunity exists to create a Tigard post office.
Goal 6 - Library
The library goal was achieved as all Council members supported promotion of the
Tigard Library construction bond, leading to voter approval in May. Approval of the
$13 million bond has allowed the City to make significant steps toward design of a
library for initiation of construction in 2003.
Goal 7 - Communication
The Council concluded that there has been good goal achievement on communication
as meetings with local, county, regional and state partners took place throughout the
year. Regular meetings have been scheduled so that there is more communication
underway. Efforts to improve and expand communication with Tigard citizens also
improved through the CIT program, Cityscape, web site, cable and other means. In
fact, the City was recognized by the League of Oregon Cities to receive the Good
Governance Award in recognition of the improved communication with the public.
The City also supported English as a Second Language programs in Tigard.

IV. Set Goals for 2003
i
The Council gave input on new goals for 2003. Overall, the Council emphasized the
need to find a sustainable financial strategy. All goals therefore are impacted by the
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - January 6, 2003 page 3
financial picture and the availability of revenue to carry out Council direction. Council
members expressed their interest in goals for 2003 as follows:
Councilor Wilson
Councilor Wilson emphasized the need for a transportation goal to improve the
function of arterials that are not under the City's control. He also expressed interest in
the downtown redevelopment activity.
Councilor Sherwood
Councilor Sherwood emphasized transportation, noting in particular the need to
improve traffic flow on Pacific Highway. She emphasized the need to synchronize the
signalization. She identified other signal issues such as the intersection of Hall
Boulevard and 99W. Its function at all hours of the day requires attention. Councilor
Sherwood also emphasized a need for increased follow through by City staff to make
sure that those companies and individuals who cut into the City's right-of-way are held
responsible to make sure that any cuts in the street are fixed so that the City's
investment is maximized.
Councilor Moore
Councilor Moore emphasized the need to continue efforts to improve the downtown,
complete the task of identifying a long-term water supply, and provide long-term
funding for the library. He also emphasized communication, suggesting that we review
all of our communication methods and determine where our best results occur.
Councilor Sherwood also suggested that we initiate annual meetings with the
Washington County Board of Commissioners/Clean Water Services. Council has
initiated and carried out discussions with other partners with the exception of
Washington County.
Councilor Dirksen
Councilor Dirksen emphasized the need to have a financial goal added to the list of
City goals. Councilor Sherwood agreed. She stated that the financial goal needs to be
the number one goal for the Council.
r
Mayor Griffith
Mayor Griffith reported that the youth programs in the community have been
o improved through the Youth Forum, however more action is needed.
a
He emphasized the progress made in the downtown program and suggested further
work is needed.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - January 6, 2003 page 4
Mayor Griffith suggested that an economic development concept should be
considered at some point by the City Council.
In terms of transportation, the Mayor had nothing to add but suggested that contact
be made with ODOT staff and commission to make sure that Tigard's issues are kept
in front of them.
The Mayor also added that the legislative session will require more local input than
ever before.

WHEREAS, no written guidelines are in place which provide direction to a Council member on what the
City Council expects his or her participation to involve; and
WHEREAS, a written set of guidelines for participation as a Council Liaison to a City Appointed Task
Force or Intergovernmental Group would provide for consistent involvement and enhance the effectiveness
of the Task Force or Intergovernmental Group process.

SECTION 1: The Tigard City Council hereby Adopts the following guidelines for Council member

4. The Council Liaison will bring key issues to the City Council to seek direction of

5. The designated Council Liaison will be the City Council Point of Contact for the
Task Force members as well as the staff members assigned.
6. The Council Liaison will be the Council member responsible for Council media

White Paper
Long Term Financial Needs
Background: The City's Five Year Financial Plan has been forecasting declining General Fund
Balances for several years. The City has been taking steps to avert negative balances by limiting
expenditures, reviewing and updating fees and charges, and most recently freezing vacant
positions. While these actions have helped slow the rate of the decline, they have not reversed
the overall trend.
The current Financial Plan, still in draft form, projects that the General Fund will go negative in
FY 2004-05 unless corrective action is taken. Major factors in this trend include continuing
personnel cost increases (particularly for items such as employee health insurance and the cost of
the PERS retirement system), a sluggish economy which has slowed the growth of City
revenues, and the reduction of revenues such as the county WCCLS Levy.
While past City actions have been and will continue to be important, stronger measures will be
required to address the long term trend. One option to consider is to refer a Local Option
Property Tax Levy to voters in November of 2004. There may be other revenue options that the
Council would also like to consider.
If a preferred option (or options) is to be in place in time to avert a General Fund deficit in 2004-
05, staff will need to develop and research options in calendar 2003, and present those to the
Council for their review and consideration. Council may choose to implement some options
immediately, or may choose to focus on a Local Option Levy in November 2004. Even if
Council chooses to pursue a Local Option Levy, some interim actions will be required because
the Local Option Levy will not produce any funds until FY 2005-06.
Current Status: The City has been taking a number of steps over the past several years to
address the projected decline in the General Fund ending balance:
• The City has limited the addition of new positions for existing City programs.
• Labor contracts have been negotiated to require the sharing of health insurance premium
costs between the City and employees.
• In FY 2002-03 a vacant position review process has been implemented, slowing City
hiring and analyzing the need for each position as it becomes vacant.
• In FY 20002-03, six vacant positions have been frozen and will not be filled.
• All existing City fees and charges have been reviewed. Several fees and charges have
been increased to reflect current costs.
• The City participated in a joint audit of franchise fees paid by PGE to ensure proper
payment.
• The City has joined with other Oregon cities in a joint audit of franchise fees paid by
Qwest and Verizon.
Despite these actions, the Five Year Financial Plan continues to show a downward trend in the
General Fund ending balance.
Recommended Goal: Research and implement options to address the City's long term financial
needs, with particular attention paid to asking voters to approve a Local Option Property Tax
Levy in November 2004.

A. Explore funding sources for transportation needs. Funding for
maintenance and capital are needed for the following-
1. Roads
2. Trails/Bicycles
3. Pedestrian Safety (Sidewalks, streetlights, crosswalks)
4. Bridges
B. Work with Tri-Met to develop intra-city bus service and Park-and-
Ride locations.
C. Work with ODOT on state-funded facilities.
UPDATE - 4TH Quarter 2002
Goal 1.A.1. - Roads As part of the public awareness effort for the Street
Maintenance Fee, the City created a video production that
has been airing frequently over the public access channel.
® This video emphasizes the need for timely maintenance of
the City street system, and provides a summary of the
benefits that would be achieved with implementation of the
proposed Street Maintenance Fee.
The public meeting conducted on November 14, 2002 to
discuss the fee with citizens and businesses was attended
by approximately 20 people. The results of the extended
public process for the fee will be presented for Council
discussion on December 17, 2002. The Task Force will
recommend that the issue be brought back for full
discussion with Council in February or March 2003. The
two new Councilors will have assumed office and would be
part of that discussion. Council direction will be sought at
that time on adoption and implementation of the fee. If the
Council direction is to submit the fee for adoption, the
ordinance to establish the fee and the resolution to set the
i
fees would most likely be submitted for Council
consideration in April 2003. The effective date for
implementation of the fee would be set no earlier than July
1, 2003, the beginning of FY 2003-04. This would give the
City of Tigard staff sufficient time to set up the fund and do
the necessary work to ensure that the amounts can be
incorporated on the utility bills without a glitch in the
billing process.
The Task Force will be reconstituted to drop some
members and add new members that could continue to
explore alternative sources of funding for major street
improvements. Potential sources could become feasible
with the implementation of the Street Maintenance Fee.
State gas tax funds freed up by thc; Fee could be used to
float revenue bonds or obtain a loan from the Oregon
Infrastructure Bank for the construction of major street
projects. Another possibility is the creation of a City Traffic
Impact Fee (TIF) to augment the Countywide TIF.
Proposed Wall Street Local Improvement District (LID):
The design of Wall Street is well underway. The design
consultant, DeHaas and Associates, will submit a 35%
report by the end of December 2002. Presentation of the
interim report to City Council will be scheduled in
February or March 2003. At that time, Council will have
the option of deciding if the Preliminary Engineer's Report
should be fully completed. If the decision is to continue
with the project, the Preliminary Engineer's Report
(approximately 60% project design) is expected to be
completed in May 2003.
The Metro Priorities 2004-07 funding process has been
soliciting projects from various jurisdictions. This is federal
funding that is allocated to cities and counties through the
Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program
(MTIP). The City will be submitting three projects for
funding consideration. Since the widening of Greenburg
Road from Washington Square Drive to Tiedeman Avenue
has already been approved for preliminary engineering and
rights-of-way acquisition, that project will be submitted for
construction funding in this latest process. The two other
projects are a pedestrian trail through the greenbelt in the
Washington Square Regional Center and pedestrian
improvements in Tigard Town Center in conjunction with
the commuter rail project. Those projects were submitted
for Council approval on December 10, 2002. The deadline
for the project applications to Metro is December 20, 2002.
Goals 1.A.2 and 3 -
Trails/Bicycles and
Pedestrian Safety
A trail project in the Washington Square Regional Center
area is one of the projects submitted for funding
consideration under the Metro Priorities 2004-07 funding
process. This project would be placed under either the
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) or
Transportation Enhancement categories and would not
compete directly with the street modernization projects
proposed through the Street Transportation Program
category. Pedestrian improvements in the Tigard downtown
area have also been submitted as a project in the Metro
solicitation process. These two projects, if funded, would
enhance pedestrian movement and safety in both areas.
Funding for the projects would not be available until FY
2006-07.
State gas tax funds freed up by the Street Maintenance Fee
could be used to construct new sidewalk at key locations,
install embedded crosswalk lighting at selected locations,
and provide for installation of new street lights on
collectors and at critical intersections lacking that lighting.
These are all projects that cannot now be programmed
because of the lack of funds.
Goal 1.B. Tri-Met
➢ Council adopted action plan December 10, 2002
➢ Staff to begin implementation steps which will be
an on-going process.
Goal I.C.
Work with ODOT
The Engineering Department will continue to look for
opportunities to encourage the upgrading of ODOT facilities
such as Hall Boulevard, Highway 217 and Highway 99W.
None have been evident since the previous quarterly report.

New ]Funding Sources for Major Street Improvements
Background
The recently adopted Transportation System Plan (TSP) identified a multitude of street
improvement projects that are necessary to accommodate the current and future traffic.
The primary finding source for major street improvements in the City is the Traffic Impact
Fee (TIF). TIF revenues are dependent upon the level of development in the City and have
historically been approximately $800,000 each year. The TIF is typically fully committed
each year and is capable of funding one large project for each two years of collections.
City Council, through Resolution No. 01-06, formed a Transportation Financing Strategies
Task Force to evaluate and recommend to Council feasible alternative funding sources for
street maintenance and street expansion needs. The Task Force examined a wide variety of
funding sources for both corrective and preventative maintenance of City streets, and
expansion of collectors and arterials to accommodate current and future traffic. To address the
corrective and preventative maintenance needs, the Task Force recommended initiation of a
Street Maintenance Fee. The development of new funding sources for major street
improvements is more difficult to achieve and remains the challenge for the next calendar
year. Among the potential funding sources evaluated by the Task Force are a City TIF,
Transportation SDC's, City gas tax and others. The Task Force will continue to evaluate
potential funding sources in greater detail for recommendation to City Council.
Current Status
The Task Force recommended adoption of a Street Maintenance Fee to address corrective and
preventative maintenance. The Task Force members have indicated a desire to reconstitute the
Task Force, releasing members who can no longer continue and adding new members.
Representation from the business community would be desirable.
Recommended Goal
L The recommended goal for next calendar year is to explore development of new funding
sources for major street improvements as follows:
0
• Reconstitute the Task Force by end of March 2003
j ■ Drop members who cannot continue
a ■ Add new members (solicit from the business community for representation)
Set a maximum time frame of a year and a half for the Task Force to evaluate
funding sources and make recommendations to Council
+ Begin Task Force meetings in April 2003
• Present reports quarterly to Council, or as the Task Force develops recommendations
for discussion with Council
WDI ACITY COUNCIL\GOALS\2003\W HITE PAPER - FUNDING FOR STREET EXPANSION.DOC
White Paper
Street Maintenance Fee
Background
The City of Tigard has approximately 140 miles of paved streets within the street system.
Much of the street infrastructure is old and was not designed for heavy trucks and buses.
There is a need to protect the investment in the existing street infrastructure.
The state gas tax has been the sole funding source during the past decade for street
maintenance and minor reconstruction. The annual gas tax revenue is approximately $1.6
million. The routine maintenance performed by Public Works street crews, the overlays
and slung seals, and the street light and traffic signal system energy costs and
maintenance are all funded from the gas tax revenues. The street lights and traffic signal
systems require approximately $500,000. The balance funds the routine maintenance
performed by the street crews. Whatever is left is set aside for overlays and slurry seals.
As operating costs rise each year, the amount available from the state gas tax (which has
not been increased in over a decade) for corrective and preventative maintenance has
drastically decreased. The amount currently available for this maintenance is $150,000 to
$200,000 each year. This amount is just not enough to adequately maintain the City's
street infrastructure. In 1999, the City's Pavement Management System reported a
maintenance backlog of over $2 million dollars. Because the system has deteriorated
even further with the vast majority of the streets now requiring either pavement overlay
or costly reconstruction, that backlog has increased to over $4 million dollars. There is an
urgent need to establish an alternative source of revenue that can be used to reduce the
maintenance backlog and perform timely maintenance on the existing streets.
Why is there a need to perform timely maintenance on the City streets? Studies have
clearly demonstrated that pavement condition worsens at an increasing rate as the
pavement gets older. Restoration of pavement near the end of its service life typically
costs up to five times more than rejuvenation performed in a timely manner. Timely
maintenance extends pavement life significantly and thereby provides safer roads.
City Council, through Resolution No. 01-06, formed a Transportation Financing
Strategies Task Force to evaluate and recommend to Council feasible alternative funding
i sources for street maintenance and street expansion needs. The Task Force examined a
wide variety of funding sources for both corrective and preventative maintenance of City
streets, and expansion of collectors and arterials to accommodate current and future
traffic.
To address the corrective and preventative maintenance needs, the Task Force
recommended initiation of a Street Maintenance Fee. The Street Maintenance Fee is a
® monthly fee based on use of the transportation system and is typically based on trip
generation rates. The fee is charged to each household and business in the City. Other
cities in Oregon have successfully implemented this fee and are using the proceeds in
their annual street maintenance programs. This fee can be implemented by Council
action.
Reasons to Adopt the Fee
Establishment of the Street Maintenance Fee would provide a stable source of funds for
timely street maintenance. The additional revenue dedicated to maintenance would free
up gas tax dollars that are currently used for street infrastructure maintenance. The dollars
that become available can be used to issue revenue bonds for street improvement
projects. They also can be used to obtain loans from the Oregon Economic and
Community Development Department with certain portions of the gas tax set aside to pay
back the loans. The funding from the loans can be used for urgently needed street
expansion projects such as Walnut Street from Tiedeman Avenue to 1215` Avenue and
121" Avenue from Gaarde Street to Walnut Street. In addition, these gas tax dollars can
provide funding for on-street bike paths and sidewalk construction to fill in gaps and
connect residential neighborhoods to schools.
Current Status
Council consideration of the proposed fee was originally scheduled for August 27, 2002.
Council decided to extend the public process to increase citizen awareness of the
proposed fee and to provide additional opportunities for input from the business
community and from the general public. A video presentation demonstrating the need for
timely pavement maintenance and explaining the various aspects of the fee was prepared
and is now airing periodically on the public access channel. A public meeting was
conducted on November 14, 2002 to provide an opportunity for citizens and businesses to
provide input. Approximately 20 people attended that public meeting.
A discussion of the results of the extended public process is scheduled for the Council
workshop meeting on December 17, 2002. At that meeting, the Task Force will
recommend that the fee be brought back to Council, possibly in February or March 2003,
for a full discussion with Council. Council direction on any further action to implement
the fee will be requested at that meeting.
Recommended Goal
r
The recommended goal for next calendar year is for Council to adopt the proposed fee
following a schedule such as the following:
i
• Full discussion of the fee at the February workshop meeting
I • Council consideration of fee implementation in March 2003
• Adoption of the fee in March 2003
• Implementation of the fee effective July 1, 2003 with the beginning of the next
fiscal year

expansion, Dog Park, etc.)
B. Continue to work with and support the Youth Forum and youth
activities (before and after school programs, Skateboard Park
Committee).
RECAP - 4TH Quarter 2002
Goal 2A -
Complete Parks
Master Plans
The first project at Summerlake Park will be the installation
of an off-leash dog area, which is anticipated to open in the
spring of next year. It is contemplated, at this time, that
Summerlake Park Development Phase One, tentatively
scheduled for FY '03-`04, consist of the following:
• Site prep and utilities
e Children's play playgrounds (includes water play area)
• Renovate existing playgrounds
The projected cost estimate for phase one is $200K. We
will refine this further during the upcoming budget process.
A first phase which primarily consists of the playgrounds,
bathrooms, and a water play feature will generate much
excitement and enthusiasm for park development at
Summerlake Park.
Bonita Park construction will begin in early 2003 and be
completed by June 30, 2003. Park features to be built in
Phase I are: playground, basketball courts, portable toilets,
picnic shelter, and an open space lawn area.
Cook Park, Phase II, is scheduled to be completed this
December.
New recreation features at Woodard Park include a tot-lot
playground, an elementary age playground which have
been installed and a picnic shelter. The Woodard Park
® picnic shelter is anticipated to be installed this winter.
® Potso Dog Park was dedicated and opened on Saturday,
July 20. Attendance has been very good. The users and
committee members have done an excellent job in
"cleaning" the area.
Library Park Master Plan. Murase Associates has been
retained to develop the master plan. The process will
include a public participation process and it is anticipated
that the master plan will be completed by late winter or
early spring.
Goal 2 B
Youth
The Youth Forum met continually throughout the year and
was successful in getting an extended after-school program
in place in January 2002 to service youth who had no other
alternatives for after-school activities. The extended after-
school program is currently on hold because of the added
cost of providing a snack and additional bus runs for the
program. A subcommittee of the Youth Forum explored
ways to fund the elementary school lunch buddy mentoring
® program, which was cut due to lack of funding. The school
district is currently pursuing restoring the program with
volunteers.
At the end of the year, the youth Forum turned its focus to
youth involvement and began exploring ways to get youth
involved in community issues and adults in the community
more connected with youth.
The Tigard-Tualatin School District will probably receive
grant funds in the fall of 2003 to continue the after-school
programs at the middle schools. Members of the Youth
Forum. are approaching community service clubs and
churches for assistance with the after-school programs for
snacks and supplies for programs. The results of the Assets
Survey taken by students last school year will be shared
a this fall by the district. A Youth Advisory Council may be
4 formed to provide youth a connection to the community to
address some of the issues raised in the Assets Survey.
u
J
Skateboard Park Task Force
Recent meetings of the Task Force have focused on the
site-design/cost estimate and site location processes.
The proposed design was approved by City Council on
November 26. The City is presently talking to the School
District about the possibility of locating the skate park
facility at thz Fowler School site on Tigard Street. The
School District has yet to determine the availability of the
site for City use. A community meeting was held on
November 20. Most of the neighbors who attended the
meeting were opposed to the skate park facility being
located on the Fowler School property off Tigard Street.
Rich Carlson, Skate Park Task Force Chair, has begun a
series of meetings designed to build interest in the
upcoming fund-raising process. Many kids have been
involved and he is looking for more adults to assist in this
crucial process.
Public Works staff will continue to work with and support
the Youth Forum and youth activities (before and after
school programs, Skateboard Park Task Force).

White Paper
Parks Master Planning
® Background:
On March 9, 1999, the City of Tigard adopted Resolution No. 99-16, which states:
"A Resolution of the Tigard City Council adopting a Park System Master Plan that details the
vision, goals and implementation framework of a City and Urban Services area park and open
space system"
This Park System Master Plan is the result of a comprehensive, collaborative effort between the
Citizens of Tigard, City staff and consultants. Tigard's Park System Master Plan is a
comprehensive needs assessment and long range plan for meeting the community's parks and
recreation needs over a ten-year period. The plan examines the impacts of the community's
growing demand for services, the effects of related planning efforts, the implications of
demographic changes, and the contributions made by the park system in providing relief from
high density urban development. Further, the plan sets forth a Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) which functions as a framework plan or tentative list of projects for a ten-year period. The
CEP is reviewed and updated annually to reflect the changing needs of the community and
changes in available funding for financing park capital projects. Decisions regarding the actual
expenditure of funds for individual park capital projects are incorporated into the City's annual
budget process.
® In addition to the Park System Master Plan, City Council conducts a yearly goal setting process.
The Council has, on an annual basis, adopted a goal aimed at providing opportunities for Parks
and Recreation.
This year's Goal #2 is entitled, "Goal 2: Parks and Recreation - A) Complete master plans for
City parks (Summerlake Park, Fanno Creek Park expansion, Dog Park, etc.) and, B) Continue to
work with and support the Youth Forum and youth activities (before and after school programs,
Skateboard Park Committee)". Currently, in FY 2002, the City is involved in many projects
aimed at fulfilling Goal #2 as established by City Council. Many projects have either been
completed, or will be completed, by June 30, 2003. The projects range from:
• Completion of two park master plans - Summerlake Park/Bonita Park
Development of a third park master plan -Fanno Creek Park Extension Master Plan
L v Completion of a major park project - Cook Park
Y Completion of several smaller park projects - Woodard Park, Potso Dog Park,
Summerlake Park
• Seeking and receiving three grants to acquire land and develop four park projects - Fanno
d Creek Trail, Cook Park, Bonita Park, Woodard Park
Q
u In addition to the Park System Master Plan, and the City Council's goal setting process, City
r
Council has established a visioning process, entitled, "Tigard Beyond Tomorrow" which sets
forth two goals which are aimed specifically at parks and recreation. They are "Open Space &
Greenway Areas are Preserved and Protected" - Acquire and develop parkland; and, "A Wide
Range of Leisure and Recreation Opportunities are Available for the Tigard Community"-
Develop partnerships with current providers to provide opportunities for recreation.
Recommendation for continued follow-up in 2003:
The following projects are either completed or are scheduled to be completed during this fiscal
year July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2003:
• Bonita Park and Summerlake Park Master Plans were approved and adopted by the City
Council on June 25, 2002.
• Process aimed at developing a Fanno Creek Park Extension Master Plan is currently
underway and is scheduled for completion this spring.
• Skate Park design was adopted and approved by City Council on November 26, 2002.
Although a location has not yet been secured, a site on Fowler Middle School property is
presently under serious consideration.
• Cook Park Phase II, a major development project partially funded by SDC Funds, a grant,
and a low cost State loan was cor.,pleted in November 2002. Cook Park Phase II
consisted of the addition of a new picnic shelter, playground, two restroom facilities,
concession facility, parks maintenance building, additional parkin;, landscaping and
infrastructure.
• Woodard Park development projects include the installation of two playgrounds and a
picnic shelter (partially funded by a grant) which will be completed by March 2003.
• Potso Dog Park was completed and opened to the public on June 20, 2002.
• Off-leash dog area will be installed at Summerlake Park and is scheduled to be opened to
the public sometime this spring.
• $165,000 federal grant was received to complete Bonita Park Phase I. Phase I will
consist of an open space play area, bathrooms, picnic shelter, basketball courts, hard and
soft paths, landscaping, and a playground. Construction at Bonita Park will begin this
spring and be completed by June 30, 2003.
• An additional federal grant was received to acquire and develop additional Fanno Creek
Trail property from Grant to Main Street.
Several CEP acquisition and development projects, tentatively scheduled for FY 2003 - 2004,
will be included for consideration in the upcoming FY 2003 budget. Budget Committee and
Council approval are needed in order for these projects to be completed in FY 2003 - 2004. One
of the projects is the acquisition and/or the development of additional Fanno Creek Trail
property. The development of the Skate Park depends on two very critical issues, first is finding
a location for the Skate Park, and secondly is a successful fund raising campaign aimed at
building the Skate Park. Jack Park is scheduled to have an irrigation system and picnic shelter
installed during FY '03. The next major park development project, anticipated to occur in the
new fiscal year, is the proposed Summarlake Park Phase I development project which consists of
the following features:
• Four new children's playgrounds (tot-lot to elementary age)
• Water play feature
• Three renovated playgrounds
• Bathroom facility
• Seven new parking spaces, landscaping, site preparation and infrastructure.
It is anticipated that a grant will be sought to partially fund the development of the proposed
Summerlake Park Phase I project. Completion of this project is projected for June 30, 2004.
As set forth in the City's Park System Master Plan, "Parks, recreation facilities, trails and open
spaces are essential elements in enhancing the quality of life in Tigard. They foster healthy,
active lifestyles, strengthen a sense of community, protect the environment, contribute to a
healthy economy and help mitigate the effects of growth". Statements such as this, along with
the City Council's collaborative goal setting process and "Visioning" process, drive the
implementation of the projects identified in the Park System Master Plan.

Background
Downtown Tigard has been a long term goal for the City Council. During this past year,
efforts have been refocused around the Commuter Rail station. Towards that effort,
Community Development has been working with downtown property and business
owners providing education and overview on the Commuter Rail line and its potential
catalyst on the downtown.
Council appointed the Downtown Task Force at the end of November. The Task Force
has been charged to work at developing an economic and revitalization plan for the
downtown. This effort will continue through the coming year.
Council's continued support of the Downtown and Task Force is critical to its success.
Council, with the help of the Task Force, needs to establish a work program charting the
Task Force's course over the next 12-18 months.

Proposed Bull Run Regional Drinking Water Agency
The Phase II implementation plan for the formation of a
proposed Bull Run Regional Drinking Water Agency was
completed and distributed to the 13 participating agencies
in late September. Since that time, member agencies have
been meeting independently like Tigard and the IWB,
review that date. It is anticipated that the member agencies
will decide in February 2003 whether or not to proceed
with a Phase III or request that the City of Portland start
serious negotiations on the buy in price.
Joint Water Commission
We continue to work closely with the Joint Water
Commission and its members to build relationships that
will soon offer us a partnership. The Tualatin Basin Water
Feasibility Study is moving along slowly but at a steady
pace. We are also involved in the selection process for the
JWC on a consultant for a raw water pipeline. This project
will explore the option to plan, design and construct a raw
water pipeline from the Scoggins Reservoir to the water
treatment facility, to capture raw water for treatment and
eliminate loss due to flow by.
White Paper
Water Supply
Background
Since 1994 when the City began operating the Tigard Water System it has been the desire
of the Council to secure a permanent long-term water supply, either through a
cooperative partnership or ownership of a supply system.
In 1994, the City commissioned the engineering firm of Murray Smith & Associates to
complete a Water Supply Plan update. In that report, seven long-term water supply
options, all of which were consistent with regional water supply planning goals, were
evaluated. The highest ranked option was the joint development of an expanded
Clackamas River supply with the City of Lake Oswego. Tigard spent the next 18 months
trying to negotiate a contract with Lake Oswego. This option, however, could not be
implemented for a number of reasons including neighborhood opposition to expanding
the existing Lake Oswego water treatment plant located in West Linn.
The City then approached the City of Portland to determine if they would be willing to
become our permanent water supply source. Portland referred to our 25 year contract
with them that will expire in 2007, and continued by stating that we could purchase
additional supply from Portland. However, Portland would not commit to providing a
permanent source of supply until after the regional water supply plan was complete and
new wholesale contract negotiations initiated.
In March 1996, the first sub regional joint effort to explore the development of a drinking
water supply system utilizing the Willamette River above Willamette Falls was
completed. Participants of this first study included the Canby Utility Board, Clackamas
River Water, Tualatin Valley Water District and the cities of Tigard and Wilsonville.
In December 1998, two proposals were presented to the City for a long-term water
supply. One proposal was from the City of Portland for water supply form the Bull Run
and Columbia Southshore Wellfield. The other proposal was from the consulting team of
Murray Smith & Associates, Montgomery Watson and Financial Consulting Solutions
Group, Inc. for the cities of Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Wilsonville and the Tualatin
Valley Water District for the development of a Willamette River Supply System.
In March 1999, the City Council adopted the Willamette River as its long-term water
supply. However, a citizen group that opposed the use of the Willamette River as a
potential water supply was successful in placing a City Charter amendment on the
September 1999 ballot requiring Tigard to have voter approval before bringing treated
Willamette River water into the water system. The City Charter amendment was
approved by City voters.
The City of Tigard evaluated an option to join the South Fork Water Board in 2000 and
early 2001. After the elections in West Linn in November of 2000, the South Fork Water
Board decided to remain status quo and not allow for new membership or to expand its
water supply capabilities. Since 2001, the City of Tigard continued to explore and
develop further options with both the Joint Water Commission and the City of Portland.
Current Status
Joint Water Commission
During the last two years, the City of Tigard and members of the Joint Water
Commission (JWC) have worked diligently to address short and long-term water supply
issues that would have a direct bearing on Tigard's admittance to the Joint Water
Commission. We have an agreement with the JWC that allows us to purchase surplus
water and a clause that allows us to participate in capital projects, with a built-in
termination if additional source water cannot be developed. An intergovernmental
agreement was signed with the City of Beaverton, which now allows us to take up to four
million gallons of water a day if available. On the long-term additional water supply,
staff is moving forward with research and planning for the development of additional
supply options. The first study is the Tualatin Basin Water Supply Feasibility Study.
This study includes eleven agencies that deal with the Tualatin River Basin and Scoggins
Dam at Hagg Lake. The purpose of the feasibility study is to examine alternative
approaches to increasing the water supply. Some funding difficulties have occurred due
to the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) funding being cut and they cannot complete their
portion of the study. A funding amendment was approved by the participating agencies
to either pay for BOR to complete their portion of the work or, with their consent, shift
the work to a private consultant. This study will continue into the next fiscal year, and
will lead to some answers as to where the next increment of water supply for the JWC
and Tigard could come from.
Another project Tigard is working on in conjunction with the JWC is the Raw Water
Pipeline Alternative Analysis Study. This Feasibility Study will be funded jointly and
explore the possibility of a raw water pipeline from Scoggins Dam to the JWC water
treatment plant. This will allow them to increase the efficient use of the existing water in
Henry Hagg Lake, while transporting future expanded water that is available in the lake,
should it be expanded. This will also increase the raw water quality of Hagg Lake to the
JWC water treatment plant by reducing turbidity and the potential for stream pollution
> from agricultural and industrial run off, and accidental release of chemicals and/or acts of
terror. This phase of the project will be to evaluate and determine a preferred alignment
i of a large diameter raw water pipeline. The study includes public involvement,
environment assessments, construction issues and cost comparison of various routes.
This phase will take approximately 18 months to complete, with a total project
completion time of six years.
Proposed Bull Run Drinking Water Agency
® In March 2001, City Commissioner Erik Sten proposed the formation of a new
government structure to provide drinking water services for the Portland metropolitan
region. In August 2001, fourteen agencies interested in pursuing the regional proposal
agreed to jointly fund and research the potential for the formation of a regional drinking
water supply and transmission agency. The culmination of the Phase I work was the
report entitled "Progress Report, Regional Drinking Water Initiative, December 12,
2001". In March 2002, thirteen public agencies entered into a joint funding agreement
for the preparation of Phase II Implementation Plan. This plan provides an in depth
examination of the regional drinking water concept, develops more detailed principles of
agreement to accomplish the regional objectives of the participants, and set out next
steps, estimated costs and a schedule to implement a regional drinking water agency.
Key findings were detailed in the report as accepted on September 26, 2002. Some of
which include:
• Formation of the proposed Bull Run Regional Drinking Water Agency is
feasible.
• No apparent "fatal flaws".
• System would only consist of Bull Run, Columbia South Shore Wellfield
sources and the Washington County supply line.
• Agency would be formed under ORS 190 intergovernmental agreement.
By design, the review and decision process for continuation has been structured so that
member agencies would provide local public participation as they choose while going
through their respective processes.
The City of Portland must take the lead and complete certain tasks before the other
participating agencies can decide on continuing with a Phase III, or even to begin the
formal negotiation process. On November 14, 2002 at the Policy Steering Committee
meeting, Commissioner Dan Saltzman of Portland outlined their next steps.
• Mayor Katz has asked the City's office of Management & Finance to review the
financial analysis that has been developed by the Water Bureau and the
consultants.
• The Water Bureau will develop a specific process to conduct the negotiations to
get input and buy in from the regional entities that will participate, and then bring
the description to the City Council as part of a resolution that will be submitted to
authorize Portland's participation in these negotiations, which will involve
creating a negotiating team.
• If the proposed negotiations result in an agreed price among a critical mass of
participants, then and only then, the rest of Phase III will commence.
i
As of this date, we have not heard back from the City of Portland on these steps,
however, staff continues to provide information to the Intergovernmental Water Board,
City Council and citizens. We are anticipating the Tigard public process on this phase to
end on February 25, 2003 with a public hearing and then Council decision on whether to
continue participating in this process.
Recommendation
Determine whether the City's long-term water supply goal should be continued in 2003.
We should continue to evaluate the two options of the Joint Water Commission and the
Bull Run Drinking Water Agencies. Many variables impact each of the options,
therefore detailed tasks cannot be developed until feasibility studies, negotiations and
strategies are completed. The staff task will be to continue to work to keep the studies
moving forward, and keep Council informed in regular briefings.

Growth Management
Bull Mountain Study
Background
The Community Development Department led the City's efforts to communicate the
findings of the annexation study to the Bull Mtn. residents, City Council, staff, and
citizens of Tigard. The study, which was completed last year, provided a detailed basis
of the initial capital and operational needs to serve the area. This included the various
internal working groups, which analyzed ways to provide funding for transportation,
parks, and other issues.
Numerous work sessions were held with City Council on methods of annexation in
January and April, 2002. A citizen opinion survey on annexation was completed and
shared with Council and the public. Council directed staff not to continue with efforts
toward an annexation plan and ultimate vote. Staff is proceeding with a public facilities
and services plan. This effort involves all City departments and will result in a detailed
analysis of the capital and operational needs for the area. The outcome of the public
facilities and services study for Bull Mtn. will result in policy discussions with Council
on finalization. This effort will continue through the coming year.
Portions of Tigard's Urban Services Area (USA) are within unincorporated Washington
County. Ultimately, those areas will be served by the City of Tigard. The issue for
Tigard is when and what areas should be annexed into the City.
The Bull Mountain Study and the subsequent Bull Mountain Public Facilities and
Services Plan, which is currently underway, will provide the basis for further policy
consideration by Council. The Public Facilities and Services Plan are anticipated to be
completed by June.
Recommendation
i Develop short and long term policies for annexation of Bull Mountain.
Affordable Housing
Background
In the past year, Council considered affordable housing during a series of five workshops
and one budget committee meeting. As a result of these efforts, the "City of Tigard
Affordable Housing Program" was developed.
® Along with various Comprehensive Plan policies and community vision goals and
strategies related to affordable housing, the report includes a compilation of all the
initiatives undertaken by the City to date that emphasize and encourage affordable
housing and serve to meet the Council goal. In general, the focus of the City program is
on households earning 50% and below of the region's median income. This is generally
recognized as the income group having the greatest need for affordable housing. In
keeping with federal guidelines, housing is defined as affordable when a household
spends no more than 30% of its gross income on rent and utilities.
Council adopted the "City of Tigard Affordable Housing Program " by resolution in
November of 2002.
Washington Square Regional Center Plan
Background
The Regional Center Plan was adopted by Council in 2000 with implementation being
adopted January 2002. An outstanding issue, among others, was infrastructure funding.
The plan identifies over $150,000,000 in infrastructure needs to fully implement the plan.
Community Development led the City's effort to, along with Washington County and
Beaverton, plan for the funding of infrastructure to carry out the Regional Center Plan.
On Tigard's part, an internal coordinating committee was established including
Engineering, Finance, Administration, and Community Development. This effort
resulted in infrastructure projects being reviewed and prioritized for funding. Projects
have been identified for MTIP consideration with submittals being developed
Community Development, Finance, and Engineering developed the Washington Square
Regional Center Funding Strategy. The strategy identifies the methods, including urban
renewal, available to fund the infrastructure needs to implement the Regional Center
Plan. Council adopted the Funding strategy this past month. The plan sets out a clear set
of priorities for Council consideration and action over the next several years. This effort

The $13 million bond measure passed by Tigard citizens for the new Tigard Library
accounts for most of the funding for the $14.2 million project. The remaining $1.2
million will come from other sources, including two bequests and the City's facilities
fund. Yet, additional funds will still be needed for features and furnishings. With its high
profile, the City Council can help stimulate enthusiasm for the project and educate the
public for the need to raise more funds to ensure that the New Tigard Library is truly a
source of community pride.
Background
When the new library opens at Hall Blvd. and Wall Street, it will be the fourth
location for the Tigard Public Library since it began in a closet in the old City Hall on
Main Street in 1963. Initially run by volunteers, the Library received $175 of City
funds in 1964-65 to hire part-time staff. In 1967, the library moved into the former
Sealy Mattress factory on Main Street. In 1984, Tigard residents approved a bond
measure for a new City complex on Hall Blvd. In 1986, the Tigard Library moved to
a new 11,000-square-foot building in that complex. In 1994, a bequest from Mary
® Margaret Puett allowed the library to build a 2,000-square-foot addition, bringing the
current square footage to 13,000 square feet.
Over the past 18 years, the Library has grown in popularity. Circulation has increased
470 percent. As a result, space for books, library materials and seating has become
severely limited. The Puett Room, which provides considerable seating, is often
used for library programs, thus reducing seating availability even more.
In 1996-97, the City conducted a needs analysis to determine the long- term space
needs of the entire City government. In 1998, the City Council placed a $17.8 million
bond measure on the ballot for a new library and additional space for other
City offices. That measure failed.
In 1998-99, the City formed a Library Expansion Committee after receiving an
$816,000 bequest from Grace Tigard Houghton for a Library Reading Room. The
committee determined that the library could not be expanded at the current site
because of changes in wetlands laws and seismic standards.
In 2000, the Library Expansion Committee became the New Tigard Library
Construction Committee. In early 2000, the City retained BML Architects, who
conducted a three-part study. It included a) a needs analysis report; b) the
development of a library building program; and c) a site analysis.
® In December 2001, the City Council placed a $13 million bond measure on the May
2002 ballot to build a new 47,000-square-foot library on a site near Hall Blvd. and
O'Mara Street. In May 2002, the citizens of Tigard passed the bond measure by a 20
percent margin.
® Maior Accomplishments since Passage of Bond
➢ Hired SRG Partnership as project architects.
➢ Hired Shiels Obletz Johnsen as project manager.
Hired Hoffman Construction as construction manager/general contractor for the
project.
➢ Sold bonds to the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department
(OECDD) to finance construction of the new library. The City saved money by
selling the bonds through the State. OECDD offers financing at a lower interest
rate than if the City had sold the bonds through a competitive sale to an
investment bank. Also, because OECDD pays for bond issuance costs, the City
saved between $200,000 and $260,000 on those alone. All savings will go
directly to the new library.
➢ Purchased 14.7-acre site on Hall Blvd. near OMara Street.
➢ Initiated a public information program to encourage public involvement in the
new library project. The program includes email updates to citizens, a monthly
column in Cityscape, frequent progress reports to local media, an art contest for
young people, solicitation of "Bright Ideas" from the public about the new library,
frequent updates on the library website and more.
➢ Sponsored two community meetings for public participation and feedback on
library design. Each meeting drew 40-50 participants.
➢ Initiated process to obtain funds for public art.
➢ Approved final schematic designs for new library.
➢ Began design development phase of project.
Funding Needs
The $13 million bond measure passed by citizens in May 2002 was intended to cover
the costs of land acquisition, design, construction and some furnishings for the new
library. It would also pay for parking, landscaping and related street improvements.
The cost of the entire project is estimated at $14.2 million. The information
campaign for the new library indicated that additional funds would need to be raised
through donations to the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library, grants,
corporate and individual giving, in addition to two bequests the library has already
received.
The City is committed to completing library construction within budget. Additional
funds are needed for artwork, collections, technology, additional landscaping and
furnishings in order to create a new Tigard Library that will be a source of
community pride providing "world-class information and traditional library services,"
as stated in the Library's mission statement.
The Library intends to conserve funds by moving nearly all the existing staff furniture
to the new library. To meet the Council's goal, however, of building a new library of
mid-level quality---that is, neither the cheapest nor the most expensive materials-
additional funding is necessary for features and furnishings in the public areas.
Comfortable and durable chairs and tables and welcoming lighting are among the
® purchases that may require additional funding. Most grants require matching funds,
which may be raised through individual or corporate donations.
In order to generate additional funds, the City must educate the public to the need.
Residents may assume the bond measure will sufficiently cover the entire costs of the
project. With the failure of the WCCLS library operating levy, the library's budget
is likely to be strained in the next few years. Maintaining the existing level of
services with reduced funding will be a challenge in itself.
A second challenge will be to open the doors to a new library at a time when public
budgets are stretched and ensure that it is equipped and staffed sufficiently to meet
the public's expectations. That is the primary reason for seeking additional funds for
the new library.
The Council was instrumental in helping to educate the public about the bond
measure. Individually and as a whole, Council members drew attention to the
library's space shortages and needs. The Council's active involvement helped secure
successful passage. Similar assistance from the Council in pursuing additional
funding from outside sources could effectively stimulate public giving.
Options for Council Consideration
® ➢ Help pursue additional funding for the new library by spotlighting the need in
Council meetings, public presentations and through individual contacts.
➢ Direct staff to seek additional funding through grants.
➢ Commit to completing new library with existing funding only.
Recommendation
The staff recommendation is for the City Council to assist in obtaining funding for the
new library for features and furnishings not covered by the $14.2 million budget.
Such features would include public art, landscaping and some public furnishings.
This could be accomplished in a number of ways including discussions at City
Council meetings, public appearances at fundraising events, individual contacts with
potential donors and public presentations.
i
Recommended Goal: The City Council will assist in obtaining additional funding
and stimulating public support for the new library.

activity at council meetings during the year that were aired
on cable television. The City Council held regular meetings
during the year with the Budget Committee, Planning
Commission, Library Board, School District Board, and the
Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue District Board. During the
last quarter, the council met with the Budget Committee to
review social service funding, the Senior Center Board to
discuss programs, and the Intergovernmental Water Board
to discuss long-term water supply options. Tigard High
School Student Envoy Paul Brems attends the first council
meeting of each month to present information about school

Y
q CITs--
Attendance at CIT meetings averaged a little higher in the
3 fourth quarter than the third quarter, but the monthly
average for the year declined from almost 13 people per
U meeting in 2001 to almost 9 per meeting in 2002. Surveys
indicate, however, that about 660 people get information
about the city by watching the CIT meetings on cable. Due
to the low attendance at the meetings, the focus in February
2003 will shift to producing programs to inform and
educate the cable television audience.
Cityscape
The format of the Cityscape newsletter was updated in time
to include two colors along with photographs. Costs for
producing the Cityscape increased 14% over the previous
year due to the new two-color format. As part of preparing
the FY 2003-04 budget, staff will investigate more cost-
effective ways to distribute the Cityscape.
Website
New features added to the website in 2002 include vendor
registration and press releases. Information on the website
continues to be updated quickly. A redesign of the website
now in progress will accommodate new and enhanced
features.
Cable
During the last quarter, city staff produced two library
community meetings, the proposed street maintenance fee
open house, and a story time video.

Communication
SUBJECT: Discussion and Recommendations on the City's Communication Efforts
As you are aware, one of the Council Goals for 2002 was to "Continue to improve and expand
communications with Tigard citizens through the CIT Program, Cityscape, Website, cable, media,
Community Connectors, and other means." The city expanded its communications with citizens in
several ways over the past year and was recognized for its overall communication program by
receiving the League of Oregon Cities' Good Governance Award. Although improvements were
made in several programs, there continues to be ways to improve and expand communication with
citizens. What follows is a summary of the 2002 activities in different areas of the city's
communications and recommendations for expansion or improvement.
CITs
Summary:
In 2002 attendance at CIT meetings continued to decline from an average of nearly 13 in 2001 to
around 8 per meeting in 2002. The Bull Mountain Annexation Survey revealed that 3%, or about
660, registered voters rely on public access television as one of their sources for learning about what
is going on in local government
Recommendations:
• Due to the declining attendance at CIT meetings and citizen's interest in cable television,
discontinue the CIT meetings.
• Beginning in February 2003 produce monthly informational/educational programs that inform
citizens in some depth about issues and programs. The program would air throughout the month
and could include topics such as long-term water supply, Planning 101, Code Enforcement
issues, youth and volunteer programs, Peer Court and Youth Court, commuter rail and the
Washington Square Regional Center Plan.
• The department assigned the project or program is responsible to put their program together,
much like a public meeting.
• Network Services staff will produce the programming.
• The department communicators develop the program schedule and assist each other in
planning specific programs.
C
The name of the program will be changed.
a
Communication Plan
Summary:
The Communication Plan was initially adopted in May 2000. It is currently being updated and
i expanded to include new sections on cable television and the TVTV Bulletin Board.
Communication Plans are maintained in each department and the loose leaf format allows
departments to organize and customize the document to best suit their needs.
® Recommendations:
0 Complete the Communication Plan update and distribute to departments.
• Each department communicator reviews the new plan with their department staff.
• Develop a style guide that provides guidelines for written materials (brochures, etc.) on use of
the city logo, font selection, PowerPoint presentations, and other graphic or written pieces.
Press Releases
Summary:
At least one press release per week is issued. An average of 81.5% were printed for the year-100%
in August, but only 62.5% in January. It's important to note in the last quarter the Oregonian
printed more submitted press releases than in the past.
Recommendations:
• Continue to issue at least one press release per week.
• For events or meetings, issue the release ten days to two weeks in advance.
• Transition from a manual to a computerized tracking system.
Community Connectors
Summary:
There are currently 30 community connectors. Since the program started in 2000, only two people
have resigned. Communications go out regularly every other week and do not require a lot of staff
time to produce and distribute. Staff has not been proactive in recruiting new connectors. However,
the current connectors arc complimentary of the information and seem to appreciate the ease of
access.
Recommendations:
• Continue to distribute the communications.
• Develop and implement a specific plan for recruiting additional connectors.
• Expand the responsibilities and opportunities for connectors to include education on emergency
preparedness and neighborhood issues (code enforcement, etc.).
Cable Television
Summary:
Network Services staff are certified to produce and direct cable productions. City Council, CIT,
Hearings Officer, and special Town Hall meetings are now produced without assistance from
TVTV. As there is increased interest in airing meetings and events on cable, there is an increased
demand on trained staff to produce the programming.
Recommendations:
• Evaluate the current staff resources available for cable television production and the projected
demand.
• Develop a plan to train additional staff and/or volunteers to produce, direct, and operate cameras
if projected demand warrants.
0 Develop and implement a schedule to bring new programming on line.
® Ci sca e
Summary:
Currently, over 24,000 Cityscape newsletters are sent out monthly. The recent Bull Mountain
Annexation Survey reflected that 21 or about 4,627 people, use the Cityscape as a means to learn
what's going on in local government. The change to a two color format increased the production
costs of Cityscape by 14%.
Recommendation:
• As part of the 2003-04 budget process, evaluate the mission, cost, and other options for
Cityscape distribution.
Coal Guide
Summary:
The Goal Guide was designed as a way to communicate progress on council goals to citizens. It is
one sheet that summarizes the progress on each goal and features more information on a selected
goal. It was intended that the Goal Guide be issued quarterly and placed in the City Hall lobby,
library, and made available at city meetings held in the Town Hall.
Recommendation:
• Discontinue production of the Goal Guide. The limited copies that were made were not picked
up.
® Cable Television Bulletin Board
Summary:
TVTV is using a new Bulletin Board software that will allow the city to put more information about
activities, events, and programs out on cable television. City staff is currently working with TVTV
staff to ensure a smooth transfer of the information electronically.
Recommendation:
• Continue to work with TVTV to maximize the city's use of the TVTV Bulletin Board.

White Paper
Citywide Sewer Extension Program
Background
In 2001, City Council approved the Citywide Sewer Extension Program to provide sewer
service to all developed but unsewered areas throughout the City. At that time, there were
about 680 residential lots throughout the City and about 80 commercial lots in the Triangle
Area without sewer service. The lots are typically on septic systems that are 30 years old or
more. Failed septic systems create health hazards to the community. It is extremely difficult to
resolve issues created by failed septic systems that occur at random throughout the city. The
ideal solution is to extend sewers to all unsewered residential areas such that City sewer
would be available as these systems fail. The Citywide Sewer Extension Program is a long-
term program that allows the City to systematically provide sewer service to developed but
unsewered areas. Commercial areas would provide the public improvements necessary,
including sanitary sewer extensions, as development occurs.
The sewer extension projects are constructed through the formation of Sewer Reimbursement
Districts. The City of Tigard would install public sewer to each lot within the reimbursement
district. At the time the property owner connects to the sewer, the owner would pay a
connection fee of $2,335.00 and reimburse the City for a fair share of the cost of the public
sewer. There is no requirement to connect to the sewer or pay any fee until connection is
made. In addition, property owners are responsible for disconnecting their existing septic
system according to Washington County rules and for any other modifications necessary to
connect to the public sewer.
With an annual target of 130 new service connections, most of the unsewered areas would
have sewer service available after five years. To encourage early connections, City Council
offers an incentive for connection within the first three years after sewer becomes available.
Under the incentive program, each resident's fair share of the cost of the sewer is limited to
$6,000 to the extent that it does not exceed $15,000, if connection occurs within the first three
years. This incentive program, in effect, offers a subsidy of up to $9,000 for those projects
that cost more than $6,000 per lateral.
Current Status
The City is in the second year of the 5-year program to provide sewer service Citywide.
Sewer service has been provided to 264 lots since the program began with 102 services
completed since the beginning of this fiscal year in July 2002. There are a number of sewer
districts that are now in the design phase for implementation during the remainder of FY
2002-03 and the first half of FY 2003-04. At this point, the program is ahead of the projected
total of 130 laterals each year. However, some of the sewer extensions anticipated towards the
end of the 5-year period are in areas that would be more difficult to construct with easements
that need to be acquired prior to implementation. Extending sewers to those areas may require
more effort both in time and in funding.
Recommended Goal
The recommended goal for next calendar year is to continue with the drive to provide sewer
service Citywide. At an average of 130 new services installed each year, the Citywide sewer
program should be completed by calendar year 2006.

Library Funding
Background:
In 1998 a new County tax rate was established for Washington County after the passage of
Measure 50. As part of the County's implementation requirement for Ballot Measure 50, the
Library Cooperative's serial levy was rolled into the County's permanent tax rate of $2.25 per
thousand dollars of assessed value. As a result, funding for the operation of Washington County
Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) became part of the County general fund. A plan was
established to fund the operation of WCCLS with a combination of general fund monies and the
Cooperative's reserve fund for FY 1999 through FY 2003.
When the plan was implemented, the strategy was to seek a new local option levy or develop
some other funding revenue by the end of 2002. General fund support for WCCLS has increased
an average of about 4% per year since 1999.
Current Status:
In November 2002 the WCCLS levy failed by less than 650 votes. In FY 2003-04, the WCCLS
® reserve fund will be expended down to the planned 10% level of the operating budget.
Consequently, a different funding source must be developed to accommodate the shortfall from
the depleted reserve account. Currently, the WCCLS operating budget is approximately $13.1
million.
In FY 2002-03, WCCLS reimbursed the City approximately $1.2 million for the operation of the
Library - approximately 60% of the library's operational budget. The failure of the levy means
the Tigard Public Library will experience a 12% reduction (approximately $150,000) in the
WCCLS payment for FY 2003-04.
In light of the failed levy, the County has stated that their general fund cannot absorb the
necessary funding increase to WCCLS to maintain the current level of library services in Tigard
and other individual public libraries throughout the County. Without an alternative funding
C source to accommodate this shortfall, library services throughout the County will be reduced
considerably. This potential reduction in library services comes at a time when many individual
libraries are experiencing an ever increasing demand for services and resources. This past year
(2002) the Tigard Library experienced a 10% increase in circulation and a 10% increase in the
i number of visitors.
r
Impact of Reduced Funding:
At a time when the community has supported the library by passing a bond measure for the
construction of a new library, we will want to examine carefully the various options for reduction
in service levels. Many of Tigard's residents may not understand the distinction between the
L/lib/Margaret/WCUS Goal 2002.doc
® bond measure and the local option levy. Our challenge is to inform our public to help them
understand the impact of the failed levy on library services and programs.
A public library traditionally examines two major areas in the budget to realize significant
savings. These areas are personnel and collections (books, periodicals, videos, books-on-tape,
etc.) A 12% reduction in funding from WCCLS will impact overall library services and
dramatically affect these two areas. Potential reductions include:
➢ Open Hours
➢ Staff (lay-offs)
➢ Programs, summer reading, children's storytimes, book discussion, outreach
➢ Collection - fewer new books, periodicals, videos, etc.
Options for Council:
➢ Work with elected officials from other jurisdictions to:
a) encourage the County Board of Commissioners to develop a plan to maintain
WCCLS funding at the current level for FY 2003-04.
b) begin to develop a countywide strategy for the WCCLS local option levy for
possible placement on the ballot in Spring 2004.
➢ Use City general fund dollars to replace (backfill) a portion of the library operating
budget. This will impact the funding of other City general fund departments.
® ➢ Have the library absorb the entire 12% reduction.
Recommendation:
Since the failure of the levy, the library staff has undertaken an assessment of services and
programs to determine where we could operate more efficiently in both the current fiscal year
and the future.
The staff recommendation is to begin working with elected officials from other jurisdictions to
plan for the local option levy for 2004. In developing this levy strategy, it will be necessary to
define the level of services to be provided by libraries. Staff also recommends working with the
County to see if additional County general funds are available to be allocated to WCCLS for FY
2003-04. If this is not possible, staff recommends that the reduction in local funding to the
library be comparable to the reductions that other general fund City departments will experience
in FY 2003-04.
Appendix: 2001-2002 WCCLS Levy Background:
In Summer 2001 the Board of Commissioners was asked to authorize a needs assessment to
determine whether a possible local option levy should be considered.
In the Spring of 2002 WCCLS conducted a public survey to gauge countywide public support for
libraries. As a result of this survey and other factors, the County Board of Commissioners
authorized the placement of a five-year local option levy on the November 2002 ballot.
is/lib/Margaret/WCCLS Goal 2002.doc
Highlights:
➢ In July 2001, a White Paper on WCCLS Financing was presented to the Board of
Commissioners.
➢ The Board of Commissioners directed WCCLS to conduct a thorough needs analysis to
determine the level of funding needed to address current unmet library service needs and
projected needs through FY 2008.
➢ Summer and Fall of 2001, WCCLS staff and the Cooperative Library Advisory Board
(CLAB), the Library Directors' Board, member Cities and non-profit associations of the
Cooperative worked together to:
• develop the Needs Analysis.
• develop recommended projected funding levels for library service through FY
2007-08.
• develop a proposal to forward to the Board of Commissioners in January 2002.
➢ Throughout 2002 City Council was updated on the status of the levy on a regular basis at
Council meetings.
➢ City Council consistently expressed support for the WCCLS levy.
➢ During Summer and Fall 2002, information was provided to voters concerning the local
option levy.
➢ Measure was defeated by approximately 600 votes in November 2002 election.
➢ At the December 2002 CLAB meeting, the funding formula for FY 2003-04 was
approved.
➢ Tigard Public Library projected revenue from WCCLS for FY 2003-04 will be reduced
12% from FY 2002-03, meaning that the library will receive approximately $150,000
less in funding from WCCLS.
Options for Council Consideration
➢ Help pursue additional funding for the new library by spotlighting the need in Council
meetings, public presentations and through individual contacts.
A Direct staff to seek additional funding through grants.
➢ Commit to completing new library with existing fixnding only.
Recommended Goal: Because the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS)
local operation levy failed, the City Council will explore/develop strategies to fund the library at
i an adequate level to maintain optimum service delivery until the issue returns to the voters.

1. Roads
2. Trails/Bicycles
3. Pedestrian Safety (Sidewalks, streetlights, crosswalks)

Q-3, October 2002 Update
Goal 1.A.1. Roads
City Council decided to extend the public process for the Street Maintenance Fee.
Extension of the public process would allow more time for citizen awareness of the
need for the fee and the benefits that would come from implementation. It would
also provide an opportunity for the various businesses in Tigard to provide more
input into the process.
As part of the public awareness effort, the City will be creating a video production to
air periodically over the public access channel. This video would emphasize the
need for timely maintenance of the City street system, and provide a summary of
the benefits that would be achieved with implementation of the proposed Street
Maintenance Fee. In addition, a public meeting has been scheduled for November
14, 2002 to discuss the fee with citizens and businesses. Council discussion of the
results of the meeting is scheduled for the Council meeting on December 17, 2002.
The Task Force met on October 10, 2002 to discuss the video production and to
establish roles for the Task Force members in the November meeting and at the
Council discussion on December 17"i.

i Any action on implementation of the fee would most likely be scheduled for early
2003. If Council does approve implementation, the effective date for the fee would
i be set several months after Council action. This would give the City of Tigard staff
sufficient time to set up the fund and do the necessary work to ensure that the
amounts can be incorporated on the utility bills without a glitch in the billing
process.

Tigard City Council Goals 3
Q-3, October 2002 Update
Goal 1.A.1. cont'd.
The Task Force will continue to explore alternative sources of funding for major
street improvements. Potential sources could become feasible with the
implementation of the Street Maintenance Fee. State gas tax funds freed up by
the Fee could be used to float revenue bonds or obtain a loan from the Oregon
Infrastructure Bank for the construction of major street projects. Another
possibility is the creation of a City Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) to augment the
Countywide TIF. The Task Force will be reconstituted to drop some members
and add new members that could aid in the review of alternative sources of
funds.
Proposed Wall Street Local Improvement District (LID): The City has selected
DeHaas and Associates to provide design Wall Street and provide the
Preliminary Engineer's Report needed to determine the feasibility of forming the
LID and constructing the improvements. The consultant will provide the design
information to the New Library consultants for preparation of the site plan and
other documents needed for the Land Use Application. Discussions have been
conducted with Oregon Department of Transportation regarding approval of the
Wall Street intersection at the southerly boundary of the library project. Both the
Wall Street LID and New Library projects are well underway at this time.
The Metro Priorities 2004-07 funding process is now soliciting projects from
various jurisdictions. This is federal funding that is allocated to cities and
counties through the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program
(MTIP). The City will be submitting a street project for consideration as part of
the process. Since the widening of Greenburg Road from Washington Square
Drive to Tiedeman Avenue has been already been approved for preliminary
engineering and rights-of-way acquisition, that project will be submitted for
construction funding in this latest process. The deadline for the project
applications is December 20, 2002.
Goals LA.2 and 3.
A trail project in the Washington Square Regional Center area is being
considered for submittal in the Metro Priorities 2004-07 funding process. This
project would be under either the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) or Transportation Enhancement categories and would not compete
directly with the street modernization projects proposed through the Street
Transportation Program category.
Q-3, September 2002 Update
Tigard City Council Goals 4
Q-3, October 2002 Update
Goal 1.A.1. cont'd.
Pedestrian improvements in the Tigard downtown area are also being considered
for submittal as a project in the Metro solicitation process. The extent of those
improvements will be based on the Tigard Downtown Traffic Study being
performed by DKS Associates as part of the look at the potential impact of the
Commuter Rail in the downtown area. The draft study has already been
completed and is now being reviewed by City staff. The pedestrian improvements
for submittal will be selected during the next 30 days.
State gas tax funds freed up by the Street Maintenance Fee could be used to
construct new sidewalk at key locations, install embedded crosswalk lighting at
selected locations, and provide for installation of new street lights on collectors
and at critical intersections lacking that lighting. These are all projects that
cannot now be programmed because of the lack of funds.
Goal 1.B.
The Engineering Department continued to work with the Community
Development Department in providing information for preparation of the Transit
Action Plan to establish intra-city transit service and for enhancement of service on
existing routes.
Goal 1.B. Tri-Met
The following are steps and timelines for adoption and implementation of the Tri-
Met Action Plan. Adoption of the Tri-Met Action Plan provides the foundation for
future communications with Tri-Met establishing service needs for specific
populations and life needs.
1- March 2002 Council Workshop meeting reviewing and prioritizing
community service needs.
2. August 2002 Council adoption of Tri-Met Action Plan.
3. December 2002 Council review of City's Tri-Met Action Implementation
Program.
4. The Implementation Program components:
• timeframes for funding-identified transit priorities
• specific actions necessary to achieve Council goals.
Goal I.C.
The Engineering Department will continue to look for opportunities to encourage
the upgrading of ODOT facilities such as Hall Boulevard, Highway 217 and
Highway 99W. None have been evident since the previous quarterly report.
Q-3, September 2002 Update
Tigard City Council Goals 5
Q-2, July 2002 Update
Goal 1.A.1. Roads
The Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force members and staff have met with
two major businesses in Tigard regarding the potential implementation of the Street
Maintenance Fee. John Wiitala, property manager for PacTrust, understands the need
for maintenance of the City streets and fully supported the implementation of the Street
Maintenance Fee to include the ROW and sidewalk maintenance elements. Jack Reardon
of Washington Square properties expressed concerns about the fees and could not
support fees that would be passed on to the tenants on those properties. He felt the
residents should bear a greater portion of the load with a corresponding reduction on
the businesses. A point that he brought up in the discussions is that Meier and Frank,
Sears and TGIF own the properties their businesses are on and should be billed
separately. This reduces the total amount that had been computed for Washington
Square I and II.
Many of the larger businesses in Tigard do not have corporate offices in the state, and
the local representatives typically are not authorized to make policy decisions for those
businesses. Information packets, with cover letter giving notice of the potential
implementation of the fee and requesting input, will be mailed out to those businesses.
The Task Force met on June 20, 2002, and decided to stay with the fees as recommended
to Council in the Street Maintenance Fee Study Report. The fees are based on trip
generation rates that are nationally recognized and accepted. Any changes to the fees
calculated using these rates would be purely arbitrary.
The Task Force will meet sometime in the fall to explore alternative sources of funding
for major street improvements. Potential sources could become feasible with the
implementation of the Street Maintenance Fee. State gas tax funds freed up by the Fee
could be used to float revenue bonds or obtain a loan from the Oregon Infrastructure
Bank for the construction of major street projects. Another possibility is the creation of a
City Traffic Impact Fee MF) to augment the Countywide TIF. Because the Task Force
has been meeting for about a year and a half, the members expressed an interest in the
Task Force being reconstituted to drop some members and add new members that could
aid in the review of alternative sources of funds. This will be addressed in the fall when
a the Task Force meets again.
DG
N Proposed Wall Street Local Improvement District (LID): A major property owner in the
area between Hall Boulevard and Hunziker Street had expressed strong interest in
.:i forming an LID to construct a road connecting Hall Boulevard with Hunziker Street.
m This proposed new street is shown as a future street improvement in the recently adopted
M Tigard Transportation System Plan. Council has directed the preparation of a
.W~ Preliminary Engineer's Report to objectively review all relevant aspects of the project and
report to Council on the feasibility of proceeding the formation of the LID to construct
the project. A design consultant will be retained to perform the study and prepare the
report. The Preliminary Engineer's Report is expected to be completed by March or
April of 2008.

The Engineering Department will continue to look for opportunities to encourage the
upgrading of ODOT facilities such as Hall Boulevard, Highway 217 and Highway 99W.
None have been evident since the previous quarterly report.
Goal 1.A.1. Roads
The Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force met on February 21" and approved
the draft Street Maintenance Fee Study Report with modifications. The Task Force
recommendations were presented to City Council at the March 19, 2002 Workshop
Session. The Task Force recommended meetings with major businesses that would be the
most affected before Council decides on whether or not to implement the fee. After
presentation and discussion, Council directed staff and the Task Force to conduct
meetings with those businesses to explain all relevant aspects of the fee and to answer any
questions that may arise. This process will occur during the next few months.
The following are the next steps for possible implementation of the Street Maintenance
Fee-
• April through June 2002: Meetings with some of the commercial entities that would
be charged the most based on our fee calculations
• July 2002: Bring back Street Maintenance Fee to Council for further discussion and
direction
• August/September 2002: Take action to implement fee if that is the Council
direction.

City Council and Intergovernmental Water Board will be meeting monthly to
discuss our options and recommendations on our future participation.
Goal 4.B. Joint Water Commission-
The Beaverton intertie is completed. Tigard is now receiving approximately two
mgd through this connection. The JWC has recommended a study on the
feasibility of a raw water pipeline from Scoggins reservoir to the treatment plant.
The pipeline would serve to minimize "blow-by" losses during certain periods of
time, thus, potentially increasing the amount of raw water available in treatment,
which could allow Tigard to purchase more capacity from the joint Water
Commission. There have been brief preliminary discussions that once the joint
Water Commission members adopt their new water services agreement, Tigard
may be asked to be a member, with limited water. This opportunity might be
explored during the first six months of 2003.

TIGARD CITY COUNCIL
GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP MEETING
JANUARY 14, 2002
1. WORKSHOP MEETING
1.1 Mayor Griffith called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m.
1.2 Roll Call: Mayor Griffith and Councilors Dirksen, Moore, Patton and Scheckla
were present.
1.3 Cali to Council and Staff for Non Agenda Items
City Manager Bill Monahan distributed additional information for Council
consideration including draft goals suggested by city department heads and a
list of recurring meetings involving the City Council and the City's partners.
Additional information for the City Council meeting of January 15 was
distributed, namely a letter submitted by Gretchen Bueliner for Agenda Item
No. 8.
2. DISCUSSION - VISION FOR TIGARD
Mayor Griffith introduced this item. He mentioned that the City has a good idea for
direction for the Tigard Triangle and Washington Square, but not for the downtown
loop. He described the loop as Fanno Creek to Hall Boulevard to Pacific Highway.
Mayor Griffith noted that the Council could decide to take a more aggressive role in
deciding what is desired in this area. Commuter rail is coming to the community in
the next few years presenting an opportunity. Zoning, standards, financing and other
issues could be addressed before commuter rail arrives. The City could take steps to
promote shopping, parking, or other needs. He questioned what do the City
Council and the citizens of Tigard want in the downtown,
i Based on a conversation that the Mayor had recently with County Board Chair Tom
Brian, it does not seem that the downtown merchants are further along in their
efforts than they were several years ago. Mayor Griffith has also talked with non-
downtown business people who agree that downtown improvement is a positive
thing that would help businesses throughout Tigard. Mayor Griffith suggested
considering creating a task force to address the issue, before commuter rail occurs. .
COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 2002 page 1
There was some discussion by Council of the role of, and impact on, small business
in the downtown area if redevelopment occurs following a redevelopment plan. A
suggestion of buying a parcel of land for development to start downtown renewal,
such as for the creation of a parking garage, was mentioned.
Creating a plan for the area, noting that commuter rail is coming, would be a help.
A focused plan on commuter rail involving zoning, parking, and types of desired
businesses could be created. A mix of uses, having residential development as part
of mixed use developments may also be an option. Whether warehousing should
continue to be an allowed use in the downtown was questioned.
Councilor Moore pointed out that the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow document has a
goal for downtown. The goal calls for the City to work proactively with the Tigard
Central Business District Association (TCBDA) businesses and property owners and
citizens of Tigard to set the course for the future of the central business district. He
suggested that we might need to meet with the TCBDA to continue to support them
and determine how we can help them.
It was noted that there are things that TCBDA can't do such as change zoning.
Council questioned whether we should start reviewing the development standards
for the downtown even without the funding mechanism in place. Council wondered
if the City should offer resources to help TCBDA to continue the efforts.
The commuter rail is the opportunity on the horizon that could help the downtown
group and others to identify a course of action. The Council may want to go back to
the Vision document and determine where the focus should be so Council can
choose where to give priority. The Mayor feels the emphasis should be on the
downtown because of the commuter rail schedule.
3. REVIEW FINAL REPORT - GOALS 2001
City Manager Monahan facilitated a review of goal achievement for the past year.
The results of the facilitated discussion are as follows.
GOAL 1: TRANSPORTATION
A. Complete the City Transportation System Plan, discuss funding mechanisms,
and initiate information.
COUNCIL MINUTES - ]anuary 14, 2002 page 2
The City Council adopted the Transportation System Plan in January 2002.
B. Support and promote commuter rail.
The City Council supported commuter rail as it obtained funding at the state
and federal level.
C. Develop a fixed route bus program for Tigard intra-city service.
The City made some progress by contacting Td-Met and initiating discussions
and data gathering. The city shared information with Tualatin and will align for
future discussions with Tri-Met. The City will continue to communicate its
needs to Tri-Met with an objective of establishing a fixed-route bus program for
Tigard intra-city service.
D. Revisit transportation improvement projects (the 2000 bond measure) and
potential funding sources.
The City did this, reconstituting the bond measure committee to be the
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force. This is an ongoing effort.
E. Promote resolution of 99W issues (and other state-owned facilities in Tigard).
Input was given when opportunities were present; there is more work to be
done.
GOAL 2: PROVIDE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Tasks:
1. Develop and define a strategy to provide recreation opportunities for all citizen
needs including--
a. Programs
b. Facilities
c. Activities
The City effort was focused at forming and facilitating a Youth Forum to
involve all youth recreation and services providers in developing a strategy to
provide recreation opportunities. There was good success in this effort. Of the
COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 2002 page 3
City efforts for recreation opportunities for citizens other than youth were the
Dog Park (good success), volunteer opportunities, and the development of a
Library plan which wi11 have capacity for providing some of the recreation
program opportunities at the Library. In addition, the City initiated a
Skateboard Park Committee.
2. Evaluate the need for a separate Parks and Recreation Committee.
The City decided that the use of task forces and forums was a more viable way
to address parks and recreation needs and issues. Therefore, we may not need
to form a separate Parks and Recreation Committee.
GOAL 3: SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF THE TIGARD CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT ASSOCIATION (TCBDA) AND THEIR PLAN TO
REVITALIZE THE DOWNTOWN
Tasks:
I . Assist in getting funding for implementation of the TCBCA downtown program.
The Council completed its effort by providing the opportunity for TCBDA to
seek a Business Improvement District (BID) and Economic Improvement
District (E1D). At the request of the TCBDA and the downtown property
owners, the request for funding mechanism was withdrawn. Thus, the Council
completed its task, however, funding is not available.
2. Determine the level of City financial support to the revitalization effort.
The City provided rnancial support to each activity undertaken by the
TCBDA. The long-term level of City Fnandal support to the revitalization
effort has not been determined.
L 3. Review development code requirements that affect the downtown (i.e., parking,
etc.).
The City did complete the parking standard review, however, additional code
sections require attention. This was put on hold at the time the BID and E1D
funding did not move forward.
i

COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 2002 page 4
GOAL 4: CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT THE CITY PARK MASTER PLAN
Tasks:
1. Apply funding to the plan.
The City did that with significant results at Cook Park.
2. Urge that Washington County establish a Parks Systems Development charge for
the Tigard Urban Services area.
Two separate efforts were made to urge the establishment of this charge. The
effort continues.
3. Complete the Summerlake Park plan.
Further meetings were held to complete the plan. At this point, the draft plan
is headed to the Planning Commission for review.
4. Update the City Park Master Plan elements as land is added to the City system.
This is a continuing task.
5. Continue to implement the Cook Park Master Plan.
Good progress was made as additional funding was obtained through a grant
from the State of Oregon and a loan which allowed the City to move forward
faster with improvements in the original plan. Phase I of the Master Plan is
complete.
6. Continue discussions with the Tigard-Tualatin School District for creation of a
City park associated with the proposed Alberta Rider School.
C During the CounciPs annual meeting with the Tigard-Tualatin School District
information was presented to the Board on this issue. In addition, earlier
discussions were held with the superintendent of schools to keep this project
active so when the District constructs the school, the City investment can take
I place simultaneously.

COUNCIL MINUTES - ]anuary 14, 2002 page 5
GOAL 5: DETERMINE THE CITY'S LONG-TERM WATER SUPPLY
Task:
1. Evaluate the three options presently under review.
The City evaluated the three options and determined that the South Fork
option is no longer feasible. The City will continue to evaluate the options for
long-term water supply presented to us The City of Portland and the Joint
Water Commission.
GOAL 6: ESTABLISH AN ANNEXATION POLICY FOR NON-ISLAND
AREAS
Tasks:
1. Consider options available to apply to annexation proposals.
The city considered all options and is ready to apply appropriate options.
2. Determine if the city should actively encourage annexation of-
a. parcels
b. areas
The City Council reviewed the options and determined that the Bull Mountain
area is the only area to be addressed at this time. The City prepared a
complete analysis of the Bull Mountain area annexation opportunities and
issues following a workshop meeting in July involving area residents. Also
initiated discussions with the community and discussions are ongoing. The
council also processed annexation requests for those property owners seeking
annexation, on a case-by-case basis.
r
GOAL 7: ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT PRIVATE SECTOR PROGRAMS TO
REHABILITATE EXISTING, AND DEVELOP NEW, AFFORDABLE
i HOUSING
i
i
Tasks:
1. Continue to enforce the housing code.
COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 2002 page 6
This task was carried out with good success.
2. Consider ways to support provision of affordable housing.
The Council supported the request of CPAH for property tax abatement for
three projects. In addition, CPAH has broken ground for a new project with
council waiving of permit fees. The City Council gave direction that it wishes
to evaluate other ways to support affordable housing programs. The staff is
evaluating other opportunities prior to the FY 2002-03 budget cycle.
GOAL 8: REVIEW THE REPORT OF THE NEW TIGARD LIBRARY
CONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE (NTLCC) AND PROVIDE
DIRECTION.
Tasks:
1. Hear the report of the NTLCC regarding programming and potential sites for
construction.
2. Provide direction: a. Size, b. Cost, c. Location, 8E d. Funding
3. Determine when a bond measure for construction of a new library should be
placed before the voters.
The City Council completed this task. It heard reports of the Committee on all
issues. Direction was given for creation of 'a 47,000 sq. ft. library at $14.2
million to be located on a site on the east side of Hall boulevard with funding
via City funds, proceeds of two bequests, and a $13 million bond to be placed
on the May 21, 2002, ballot.
GOAL 9: DEVELOP A NEW CITYWIDE SEWER COMPLETION POLICY
Tasks:
1. Develop a city-wide sewer program which includes-
a. cost alternatives and options;
b. a proposed construction sequence.
2. Take into consideration how to make the program equitable for those property
owners who previously participated in the city sewer reimbursem(_nt program.
COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 2002 page 7
The City Council did establish a sewer program taking into account cost
alternatives and options. Consideration was given to making the program
equitable to those who had already participated. In fact, reimbursement checks
were sent to 32 property owners who paid the higher fees under the old
sewer incentive program. The goal was completed so the carrying out of the
policy now becomes a task.
GOAL 10: EXPAND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Tasks:
1. Focus on improved ways to inform the public,
2. Expand citizen involvement opportunities.
3. Make more effective use of media (Cityscape, cable television, City web site,
press coverage, meetings, and public contact).
4. Strive toward a consistent public involvement effort.
S. Conduct a "City 101 " education program for the public.
The City achieved its goal expanding citizen involvement opportunities at all
levels. Greater attention was paid to the Cityscape, the City web site, cable
television production, meetings, and public contact. Opportunities were given
to citizens to participate in new task forces and committees to address issues.
Our effort to increase cable television capabilities and production options were
limited due to difficulties in obtaining a contract with TVCA. The City web
site was improved throughout the year with introduction of the new City web
site on January 2, 2002. A webmaster was hired during the year to spearhead
this effort. Citizen involvement opportunities through committees improved,
however; CIT attendance did not increase. The CIT program was changed by
having one tape-delayed meeting and initiation of a-mail messaging to the CIT.
A "City 101 " education program was conducted in conjunction with a CiT
meeting early in the year.
GOAL 11: PARTICIPATE IN THE 2001 OREGON LEGISLATIVE SESSION
i
Tasks:
1. Provide input to discussions of the Oregon Legislature regarding retention of
telecommunication franchise fees for local government.
2. Provide input to the Oregon Legislature as it addresses concerns raised by voter
approval of Measure 7.

Throughout the year the City Council met with Representative Max Williams
and Senator Ryan Deckert. In those meetings, both tasks were addressed.
4. SET GOALS FOR 2002
Prior to discussion of goals for 2002, Council reviewed the definitions for "goal,"
"task," and "issue" as used in prior goal setting sessions. Council determined that the
definitions are appropriate for use in 2002. City Manager Monahan then gave an

Goal Achievements 4
During the council's annual meeting with the Tigard-Tualatin School District
information was presented to the board on this issue. In addition, earlier
discussions were held with the superintendent of schools to keep this project
active so when the district constructs the school, the city investment can take
place simultaneously.
GOAL 5: DETERMINE THE CITY'S LONG-TERM WATER SUPPLY.
Task:
1. Evaluate the three options presently under review.
The city evaluated the three options and determined that the South Fork
option is no longer feasible. The city will continue to evaluate the options for
long-term water supply presented to us - The City of Portland and the Joint
Water Commission.
GOAL 6: ESTABLISH AN ANNEXATION POLICY FOR NON-ISLAND AREAS.
Tasks:
1. Consider options available to apply to annexation proposals.
The city considered all options and is ready to apply appropriate options.

Goal Achievements 5
This task was carried out with good success.
2. Consider ways to support provision of affordable housing.
The council supported the request of CPAH for property tax abatement for
three projects. In addition, CPAH has broken ground for a new project with
council waiving of permit fees. The City Council gave direction that it
wishes to evaluate other ways to support affordable housing programs. The
staff is evaluating other opportunities prior to the FY 2002-03 budget cycle.
GOAL 8: REVIEW THE REPORT OF THE NEW TIGARD LIBRARY
CONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE (NTLCC) AND PROVIDE DIRECTION.
Tasks:
1. Hear the report of the NTLCC regarding programming and potential
sites for construction.
2. Provide direction: a. Size, b. Cost, c. Location, & d. Funding
3. Determine when a bond measure for construction of a new library
should be placed before the voters.
The City Council completed this task. It heard reports of the Committee on
all issues. Direction was given for creation of a 47,000 sq. ft. library at $14.2
million to be located on a site on the east side of Hall Boulevard with funding
via city funds, proceeds of two bequests, and a $13 million bond to be placed
on the May 21, 2002, ballot.
GOAL 9: DEVELOP A NEW CITY-WIDE SEWER COMPLETION POLICY.
Tasks:
1. Develop a city-wide sewer program which includes-
a. cost alternatives and options;
b. a proposed construction sequence.
2. Take into consideration how to make the program equitable for those
property owners who previously participated in the city sewer
reimbursement program.
The City Council did establish a sewer program taking into account cost
alternatives and options. Consideration was given to making the program
equitable to those who had already participated. In fact. reimbursement
checks were sent to 32 property owners who paid the higher fees under the
old sewer incentive program. The goal was completed so the carrying out of
the policy now becomes a task.

GOAL 10: EXPAND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
Tasks•
1. Focus on improved ways to inform the public,
2. Expand citizen involvement opportunities.
3. Make more effective use of media (Cityscape, cable television, City Web
page, press coverage, meetings, and public contact).
4. Strive toward a consistent public involvement effort.
5. Conduct a "City 101" education program for the public.
The city achieved its goal expanding citizen involvement opportunities at all
levels. Greater attention was paid to the Cityscape, the city Web page, cable
television production, meetings, and public contact. Opportunities were given
to citizens to participate in new task forces and committees to address issues.
Our effort to increase cable television capabilities and production options
were limited due to difficulties in obtaining a contract with TVCA. The city
Web page was improved throughout the year with introduction of the new
city Web page on January 2, 2002. A Webmaster was hired during the year to
spearhead this effort. Citizen involvement opportunities through committees
improved, however, CIT attendance did not increase. The CIT program was
changed by having one tape-delayed meeting and initiation of e-mail
messaging to the CIT. A "City 101" education program was conducted in
conjunction with a CIT meeting early in the year.
GOAL 11: PARTICIPATE IN THE 2001 OREGON LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
Tasks:
1. Provide input to discussions of the Oregon Legislature regarding
retention of telecommunication franchise fees for local government.
2. Provide input to the Oregon Legislature as it addresses concerns raised
by voter approval of Measure 7.
C Throughout the year the city council met with Representative Max Williams
and Senator Ryan Deckert. In those meetings, both tasks were addressed.

July 2001 Update (Engineering)
The Transportation Financing Strategies Task force has met three times since April
2001. The Task Force is evaluating funding sources for both corrective and
preventive maintenance of City streets, and expansion of major collectors to
accommodate current and future traffic. One potential major funding source for
street maintenance is a transportation user fee (street utility fee). The City of
Portland recently included such a fee in their Fiscal Year 2001-02 budget. The
cities of Tualatin, Wilsonville, Eugene, and others have initiated that type of fee for
their street maintenance work.
On June 21, 2001, the Task Force listened to a presentation by Dan Boss,
Operations Director of Tualatin on that City's Street Maintenance Fee. The Task
Force is seriously considering implementation of a Transportation User Fee to help
protect the City's investment in the street infrastructure. The League of Oregon
Cities has warned us about attempts by the state legislature to cap or preempt street
utility fees. We have gone on record to strongly oppose any such legislative
attempts to preempt Oregon cities from initiating such fees. Mayor Griffith has sent
letters to both Senator Deckert and Representative Williams strongly opposing any
legislative action to preempt these fees.
The initial progress report by the Task Force to City Council is scheduled for
August 28, 2001. Progress reports from the Task Force will be at approximately
six-month intervals until the Task Force mission is accomplished.
July 2001 Update (Community Development)

The Planning Commission Hearing was conducted on February 5, 2001. Planning
Commission approved the TSP and recommended that it be forwarded to City
Council. Planning staff is keeping a comment log on the TSP, which is currently in
draft version pending comments and public hearing before adoption. Once all the
comments have been received, all revisions to the draft plan will be made and a final
version will be published with relevant comments incorporated.
The TSP workshop with City Council was conducted on March 20, 2001. DKS,
the TSP consultant, made a presentation, answered questions from Council, and
received comments from Councilors regarding various aspects of the Plan.
Councilors were concerned about the lack of intra-City bus service and wished to
have that emphasized in the TSP. The impact of Measure 7 is still to be ascertained.
There will be consultation with the City Attorney's office on the ramifications of
adopting the TSP, but not moving to revised the Municipal Code until later. The
timing for adoption of the TSP will be reviewed periodically during the next few
months as these discussions with the City Attorney and City Council continues.
b. Support and promote commuter rail.
A resolution of support from the Tigard City Council, and letters of support from the
Tigard Chamber of Commerce, Tigard Central Business District Association and its
Board Members, have been sent to the Governor and key Legislators.

December 2001 Update
The Youth Forum met in November and December. The focus at those two
meetings was to plan for implementation of an expanded, pilot, after-school
program at Twality Middle School beginning in January 2002.
The principal and staff at Twality have committed to expanding the current
Monday through Thursday offerings by adding a second hour of programming.
Rather than classes, the second hour will be a little less structured. Students will
be able to use the gym to play games (like ping-pong or pool), listen to music or
just visit with friends. A classroom will be open for homework and another one
will be used to show videos. All activities will be supervised by certified teachers
and volunteers. The program will begin the second week of January.
Over the next few months, the Youth Forum will focus on getting more youth
involved in both the Youth Forum and other community issues.
A Skateboard Park Task Force has held two meetings since November 15
with around 70 in attendance, about half of them youth. The group has
established three subcommittees: 1) Site Selection, 2) Fund-Raising, and 3)
Design. The subcommittees will meet over the next few weeks with the full task
force meeting again on February 20, 2002. The focus of the group is to
investigate the feasibility of siting, financing, and building a skateboard park in
Tigard.

The Mayor's Youth Forum met in September and October. In September, the
group heard a presentation from Virginia Hinson, Executive Director of the Boys
and Girls Club of Portland. Their Board has determined they cannot set up a new
facility more than one every two to three years. They have some pressing issues
and probably could not work with Tigard for two to three years. Ms. Hinson did
comment that for a start-up program, the use of middle school facilities makes
sense. Younger students get exposed to the school, some transportation issues are
eliminated, and parents feel their children are safer staying in a supervised school
program.
At the October meeting, six student representatives attended and discussed with
the group ways to get more youth involved. The Youth Forum Group also
discussed programs/resources currently available for youth at middle schools and
high schools and brainstormed how current offerings could be expanded and new
programs added.

focusing on programs and services for youth in the community. A Community
Youth Service/Program Resource Inventory has been prepared that briefly describes
all of the current programs and services available to youth in the community and
the challenges and limitations to continuing various programs. The Youth Forum is
assessing ways the group can help service and program providers meet those
challenges.
A representative of the Boys and Girls Clubs spoke to the Youth Forum and the

The idea was to brainstorm what services are being provided now for youth and
what additional services are needed.
The main theme seemed to be buses and rooms for programs are available from the
schools, however, funding is the issue. A discussion was held about forming a Youth

April 2001 Update
a. Assist in getting funding for implementation of the TCBDA downtown program.
TCBDA, with financial assistance from Tigard, has contracted with the Oregon
Downtown Development Association (ODDA) to evaluate and pursue funding
options. TCBDA has evaluated options and is pursuing creating Economic and
Business Improvement Districts to support their revitalization efforts. A preliminary
budget has been established, assessments determined, and the program developed.
Funding for the program would come from a variety of sources including property
and business owners and the City. Presentations have been made before the CIT, City
Council and business and property owners outlining the accomplishments of TCBDA
and the proposed revitalization program. A public hearing to enable the City to
establish an Economic Improvement District and a Business Improvement District is
scheduled before City Council on April 10, 2001. Public hearings to create the
Economic Improvement District are tentatively scheduled in June and July of 2001.
b. Determine the level of City financial support to the revitalization effort.
Establishment of an Economic Improvement District and Business Improvement
District (EID/BID) would establish the level of support from the City. The City's
preliminary contribution towards the EID/BID would be approximately $26,667 per
year.
C. Review development code requirements that affect the downtown (i.e., parking
etc.).
Prior to voter approval of Measure 7, staff working with TCBDA proposed to modify
the parking standard for businesses along Main Street. Conversion of existing buildings
to uses requiring more parking would not be required to provide the additional off-
L street parking. The Planning Commission considered the amendment and voted
r unanimously in support of the amendment. Furthermore, new buildings replicating
the square footage of existing buildings would not be required to provide off-street
parking. Entertainment businesses would be excluded from these provisions. Measure
7 delayed further action on this amendment.

potential sites for construction.
2. Provide direction: a. Size, b. Cost, c. Location, 8t d. Funding
3. Determine when a bond measure for construction of a new

December 2001 Update
Tasks:
1. Hear the report of the NTLCC regarding programming and potential
sites for construction.
In 2001, members of the New Tigard Library Construction Committee
met with the City Council 8 times to inform the Council of progress on
the project and to make recommendations regarding the scope of the
project Based on the findings of the "Needs Analysis Report for a New
Tigard Library," the "Building Program for the New Tigard Library" and
other criteria developed by BML Architects, the Construction
Committee evaluated 14 possible sites for the new library and narrowed
it down to three potential locations. On April 17, 2001, the
Committee reported its findings to the Council and provided
information about the three possible sites.
1. Provide direction: a. Size, b. Cost, c. Location, 81 d. Funding
a) Size: At the April 17, 2001, City Council meeting, the Construction
Committee also recommended that a new 47,000-square-foot library be
built to serve Tigard's library needs for the next 20 years, based on
population projections and the projected need for services in the years to
come. At the June 18, 2001, meeting, the Committee provided
information to support its recommendation for a two-story building.
b) Cost: At the June 18, 2001, Council meeting, the Construction
Committee initially estimated that the cost for the project as between
$14 million and $17 million. Subsequently, the total project cost was
estimated at $14.2 million. That includes the cost of land acquisition,
design, construction and furnishings for the new library. It would also
fund parking, landscaping and related street improvements.

December 2001 [Update (continued)
c) Location: After presenting a short list of three potential sites in April, the
Committee recommended to the Council on August 28, 2001, that the City pursue
a single location along Hall Blvd. near O'Mara Street. The site is a 14.7-acre
parcel of land, which will accommodate a two-story building, including room for
future expansion and parking. The site provides an opportunity to showcase
green spaces. At the December 18, 2001, Council meeting, the Council approved
an option to purchase that property pending the successful passage of a bond
measure. The Construction Committee recommended that the new library project
be funded through a combination of bequests already made to the library, a bond
measure and funds from the City's reserve fund. In 1999, the City of Tigard
received two bequests from the Grace Tigard Houghton and Neva Root estates
for the library. These combined bequests plus accrued interest total about $1
million. In addition, the City intends to use about $200,000 in reserve funds for
the project
2. Determine when a bond measure for construction of a new library should be
placed before the voters.
At the December 18, 2001, Council meeting, the Committee recommended that
the Council place a $12.5 million to $13 million bond measure on the May 21
ballot. The Council concurred with the staff recommendation for a $13 million
bond measure and voted to place it on the May 21, 2002, ballot. If the bond
measure passes, the general obligation bonds would mature in 20 years or less.
The estimated initial annual property tax rate is approximately 31 cents per
thousand dollars of assessed value. That amount is expected to decrease over
the life of the bonds as assessed values rise and new properties are added to the
city.
In the words of Sue Carver, a member of the New Tigard Library Construction
Committee, "The new library would move Tigard forward in this new century and
provide citizens, of all ages, and future citizens for years to come, a place to
learn, to grow intellectually and to participate in civic events that shape our
community."

July 2001 Update
The Engineering staff prepared a long-term program to extend sanitary sewer
service to over 600 houses within the City that remain without service. The new
program includes projects prioritized over a 5-year period and adds new
incentives to encourage owners to promptly connect to the sewer system once
the service becomes available. The goal of this program is to enhance the
environment by allowing for the elimination of septic tanks and leaching fields
over time. At its June 12, 2001 Council meeting, the Tigard City Council
approved the $5.8 million program and the enhanced incentive package
proposed.
Until now, the formation of reimbursement districts has been at random and has
been greatly dependent upon interest shown by the residents within these areas.
The new program builds on the successes of the Neighborhood Sewer Extension
Program but goes well beyond the original intent of that program. It uses the
formation of reimbursement districts as the mechanism for the improvements,
but establishes a project priority list spread over a 5-year period to systematically
extend sanitary sewer service to developed but unserved areas Citywide.
The residential areas that remain without service have been divided into thirty-
four project areas listed in priority order of construction. The projects have been
further divided into five fiscal years for inclusion into the City's Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). There will be annual review of the projects during
the formulation process for each year's CIP. The City will use the following
criteria to adjust the project schedule as part of the annual review of projects:
• Project areas where there is a known immediate need for sewer service
• Installation of sewers in streets that are programmed for construction
0 Projects not requiring permits or easements and are without legal
complications
• Lot owner interest in the program

I To further encourage prompt connection to the City's sewer system, City
Council enhanced the current incentive program as follows:
i
• The current. incentive program caps the amount at $8,000 up to a
maximum of $15,000 for those residents that connect within a year after
the sewer is made available. The new incentive program lowers the
amount an owner is required to pay for a share of the public sewer from
$8,000 to $6,000.

• The one-year period under the current incentive program is extended
to three years after sewer service becomes available. The lot owners
can connect to the sewer anytime during that three-year period to take
advantage of this reduced fee.
• Refunds will be sent to all that have paid the higher fee under the old
Incentive Program so they will receive the same benefit as those in the
new program. Owners under the old program that have sewer service
available but have not connected to the sewer will also be given an
additional two years to connect to the sewer and take advantage of the

A resolution incorporating the enhanced incentives is submitted for City
Council approval at the July 10, 2001 business meeting.
April 2001 Update
Engineering staff proposed to City Council the development of a Citywide
Sewer Extension Program during the December 19, 2000 meeting. This

The Tigard Times continues to provide good coverage of Tigard with close to 90%
of press releases published in July and August.
The Planning Commission received initial cable television training but additional
training has been delayed until the details of the contract with Tualatin Valley
Community Access are resolved. Training for Planning Commissioners should
resume in January.
Improvements to the CIT program continue with a focus on the home-viewing
audience. In November, staff announcements will appear on PowerPoint with maps
for the home-viewing audience where appropriate. In January, staff expects to start
accepting e-mail during the meeting and responding to questions or issues raised via
e-mail. Meeting topics are being planned a few months in advance to allow
adequate time for presentations to be prepared that are "cable ready."
The new webmaster started in September. Victor Soares is working with staff on a
redesign of the web page that will look different and be more user friendly.
The department communicators are meeting on a regular basis to share ideas for
creative communication tools, a consistent communication effort, and increase
awareness among City staff of City priorities and projects.

July 2001 Update
In the second quarter of 2001, media coverage continues to be tracked with
volunteers compiling the articles for the monthly reports. The City continues to get
excellent coverage in the Times. Of particular note is an increase in the coverage
of Library programs.
Ten individuals are in the process of being trained to operate the cameras in the
Town Hall. In June, the Planning Commission was trained on how to appear on
camera and their meeting was taped for training purposes. Planning Commission
meetings are scheduled to begin being taped to air.in August or September.
CIT meetings continue to be a forum for providing educational and instructional
programming. In May a water conservation feature was presented and in July right-
of-way maintenance was the featured topic. The July CIT meeting was pre-taped
for the first time and aired on the regular schedule. The 2001-2002 budget
includes funding for a webmaster position that will facilitate expanding the City's
use of the web as a communication tool.
Staff continues to prepare and distribute the Community Connector communication
every other week.. Efforts will be made in the coming months to add connectors to
the program. To that end, the Community Connector program was featured in a
display at the Balloon Festival and will be featured at the City's 40' Birthday
celebration.

April 2001 Update
In the first quarter of 2001, citizen involvement efforts focused on tracking media
coverage, recruiting and training volunteers to operate the Town Hall cameras, and
developing a series of informational programs to be presented at CIT meetings.
In February staff began tracking media contacts. All but one of the weekly press
releases issued were picked up. The purpose of tracking the press releases is to get
a better sense of the type of stories the press is interested in covering.
Six volunteers took the initial training to operate the cable television cameras in
Town Hall. Staff is now scheduling volunteers to work on cable casting meetings so
that their skill level will continue to improve.
At the February CIT meeting, a 30-minute program on Land Use 101 was
presented.
In the next quarter, staff will continue to track media coverage, and work toward
expanding volunteer involvement in cable programming with plans to add coverage
of the Planning Commission meetings. CIT meetings will continue to be a forum
for providing educational and informational programming.
A new focus will be exploring the use of the Internet and City's web page as a
citizen involvement tool, including recruiting for Community Connectors on the
web page. With 70% of the Portland area connected to the Internet, it is
increasingly important to involve citizens through the use of the Internet.

City of Tigard
City Council Goals 2000
Goal No. 1: Complete the City's Transportation Improvement Program
A. Background
This goal was established in 1999 and has since been carried forward into 2000. The residents of
Tigard responding to the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow surveys indicated that transportation and
traffic problems are the most serious issues facing the City. This goal was established to address
those concerns about the transportation problems in Tigard. The goal includes a desire to
improve safety and connectivity of roadways for all modes of transportation, and to emphasize
the need to integrate and encourage use of other modes of transportation besides the
automobile.
Some of the key concerns that must be addressed in completing the goal include:
• How to deal with the problems on Highway 99W, including efforts to get
improvements to that highway back on ODOT and Metro's priority lists.
• The need to begin improvements to the City's street network by identifying,
prioritizing and selecting transportation improvement projects for a proposed bond
issue.
• Evaluation of methods to improve safety of roadways, including effective use of
reflectors, increased street lighting, and other means to enhance safety for all modes of
transportation Citywide.
• Development and implementation of a comprehensive traffic calming program that
includes other methods besides speed humps.
In December 1998, City Council concluded that it was not practical to expand Highway 99W
south of Highway 217 beyond the five lanes already existing. Any expansion would merely
serve to encourage more regional traffic to use the highway and would further divide Tigard
into two separated segments. Metro's Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) includes widening of
the highway to seven lanes from Highway 217 north to the I-5 connection. In addition, Metro's
RTP includes the 1-5 connector from Sherwood to I-5, with downgrading of Highway 99W north
of Sherwood to a major arterial after the connector is constructed. During the formulation of
Metro's RTP (adopted in August 2000), there were extensive discussions on how to handle the
problems on Highway 99W. The initial language in the RTP basically said that most of the
traffic on 99W was local traffic and was best addressed in Tigard's TSP. However, after
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 1
submittal to Metro of Tigard's study showing that significant regional traffic uses Highway
99W, the language was revised to indicate that Highway 99W along this corridor continues to
be an area of concern and would have to be addressed as a regional problem with ODOT,
Washington County, Tigard, Metro, and other adjacent cities participating in the development
of solutions to the traffic congestion problem. Tigard's role in attempts to alleviate traffic
congestion on Highway 99W is to explore development of alternate routes that would bypass
Highway 99W while providing better circulation within the City.
The development of the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP) to explore those potential
alternate routes and to identify and prioritize the City's transportation system needs for the next
20 years was an essential first step towards improvement of the City's Transportation System.
The funding of high priority construction projects identified in that plan was also determined as
essential to meet the existing and projected traffic demands on Tigard's collector system. A
bond issue to provide the funding necessary for implementation of those projects was therefore
an important element in the accomplishment of this Council goal.
The development of both the Transportation System Plan and a list of projects for a bond issue
to be submitted to the voters for approval began simultaneously. City Council appointed a
Transportation System Plan Task Force and a Transportation Bond Task Force to spearhead
those efforts. The Transportation System Plan would identify the needs for the various modes of
transportation and establish master plans for those modes, to include pedestrian and bike
travel. The safety evaluations and the traffic calming program were both incorporated into the
yearly Capital Improvement Program and would be funded through the appropriate funds
under that program. The understanding was that safety improvements in the projects selected
for the bond issue would be addressed and integrated in the development of those projects for
construction.
B. Tasks Anticipated
The tasks that were identified as part of this goal are:
• Complete and adopt the Transportation System Plan.
• Evaluate, prioritize and select a list of high priority projects for a bond issue in the year
2000. submit the projects for voter approval and construct the projects if the bond issue
passes.
• Evaluate possible safety enhancements Citywide and incorporate them in the yearly
Capital Improvement Program.
• Develop a Traffic Calming Program to be more encompassing than the Speed Hump
Program and integrate it into the yearly Capital Improvement Program.
C. Quarterly Update/ Goal Achievement
The following are the quarterly update reports on accomplishment of this goal:
March 1999
The Transportation System Plan (TSP) Update Study is nearing completion. During the Council
meeting on February 9,1999, DKS, Inc. presented the transportation system alternatives
required to meet the traffic demands for the next 15-20 years. During that meeting, DKS
7~
proposed to include the other elements necessary to complete the TSP and devised a citizen
involvement process to take it towards completion and adoption.
At the March 16,1999 workshop meeting, potential road bond projects will be presented to City
Council for discussion and input. The projects that are finally selected will be part of a Road
Bond issue to be placed on the ballot for November 2000.
There are currently two task forces being formed. One task force would deal with the TSP
completion and adoption. The proposed TSP Public Involvement Process was presented to City
Council for discussion and approval during the March 9, 1999 Council meeting. The plan is to
complete the process and have the TSP adopted within about a year after initiation of the
process. The second task force will focus on determination of the size of bond issue, selection of
the final Road Bond projects, then on the citizen process to help sell the projects and the bond
issue for the November ballot in the year 2000.
June 1999
The Task Force for the TSP completion and adoption was formed and conducted its first
meeting on May 17, 1999. The Task force consists of the Planning Commission members as the
review group together with three additional citizens who represent business, bicycle and transit
interests. The group will meet monthly over the next few months. The intent is to complete the
public involvement process and have the TSP Update completed by the end of the calendar
year. The actual adoption of the TSP is anticipated in early 2000. The "motor vehicle" portion of
the TSP is basically completed, but the final project listing and report will be prepared after the
other portions and the public involvement process are completed. This particular segment of
the Council goal is approximately 50% completed.
The Transportation Bond Task Force was likewise formed and conducted its first meeting on
April 26,1999. The Task Force is composed of two City Councilors, two Planning Commission
members, and eight Tigard citizens representing a cross-section of the community. This Task
Force has already met four times and will continue to meet over the next six months with the
intention of completing its work and presenting the proposed Transportation Bond projects to
City Council in November 1999. The Bond projects approved by City Council would be entered
into the year 2000 election ballot for consideration by the voters. The Task Force elected Steve
Clark as Chairperson and Mark Padgett as Vice-Chairperson. This segment of the Council goal
is approximately 10% completed with the bulk of the work remaining over the summer and fall
months.
September 1999
The Transportation System Update Plan (TSP) development process continued during the
summer months. The Task Force appointed has made significant process in developing the
draft plan, which includes the motor vehicle element and other alternative modes of
transportation. The chapters on motor vehicles and other modes have already been drafted, and
the plan development process is now focusing on the financial element. A meeting is scheduled
in December to review the action plans. The work in development of the draft plan is at least
90% completed. Completion of the draft plan is expected by January 2000. Since the typical time
frame for adoption of such a plan is six months after completion of the draft, the updated
Transportation System Plan should be adopted in mid-2000.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 3
The Transportation Bond Task Force appointed by City Council to select projects for a proposed
transportation bond issue during the year 2000 has been meeting during the summer months.
The Task Force developed criteria for project selection, then compiled an extensive list of
projects for consideration. The projects include street reconstruction and expansion, safety-
related improvements, sidewalks, bike paths, and streetlights. A citizen involvement meeting
was conducted on October 20,1999 to receive citizen input on the proposed projects, and to
gauge public feeling on the size of bond issue that would be acceptable to voters. The Task
Force met on November 3, 1999 to review and discuss the comments received at the citizen
involvement meeting. The Task Force decided to extend the public involvement process to
ensure that ample opportunity is given for public awareness and comment. The Task Force will
be conducting at least three more public meetings at various locations throughout the City in
February 2000. In addition, the Proposed Transportation Bond will be a main topic at the
February 3, 2000 CIT meeting. At this point, the work of the Task Force in developing the list of
projects for recommendation to City Council is approximately 60% completed. The Task Force
will again meet on December 8,1999 to further review and discuss the proposed projects, and to
plan for the upcoming public involvement meetings. The package of projects and bond issue
recommendations will be formulated and presented to the Planning Commission and City
Council after completion of the public involvement process. Assuming Council approval of the
bond package, the Task Force will actively participate in promoting the bond issue for passage.
December 1999
The Transportation System Update Plan (TSP) development process continued during the
summer months. The Task Force appointed has made significant process in developing the
draft plan, which includes the motor vehicle element and other alternative modes of
transportation. A meeting is scheduled in January 2000 to review the action plans. The work in
development of the draft plan is at least 90% completed. Completion of the draft plan is
expected by February 2000. The updated Transportation System Plan should be adopted in
April or May 2000.
The Transportation Bond Task Force appointed by City Council to select projects for a proposed
transportation bond issue during the year 2000 has been meeting during the summer months.
The Task Force developed criteria for project selection, then compiled an extensive list of
projects for consideration. The projects include street reconstruction and expansion, safety-
related improvements, sidewalks, bike paths, and streetlights. A citizen involvement meeting
was conducted on October 20, 1999 to receive citizen input on the proposed projects, and to
gauge public feeling on the size of bond issue that would be acceptable to voters. The Task
Force met on November 3,1999 to review and discuss the comments received at the citizen
involvement meeting. At that meeting, the Task Force determined that even more citizen input
is needed to help the Task Force develop a package of projects to recommend to Planning
Commission and City Council. To solicit comments from a broad cross-section of the
community, the Task Force has scheduled a series of meetings at various locations throughout
the City in February 2000. The first meeting will be a presentation to the Citizen Involvement
Teams on February 3, 2000 at the Tigard Senior Center. The other meetings will be open house
format scheduled as follows: February 9, 2000 at Fowler Middle School, February 16, 2000 at
Conklin Hall, Metzger United Methodist Church, and February 24, 2000 at Tigard High School.
The Task Force met again on December 8, 1999 to further review and discuss the proposed
projects, and to plan for the upcoming public involvement meetings. At this point, the work of
the Task Force in developing the list of projects is approximately 60% completed. The package
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 4
of projects and bond issue recommendations will be formulated and presented to the Planning
Commission and City Council after completion of the public involvement process. The
presentation to the Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled for April 2000 followed by
presentation to City Council in May 2000. Assuming Council approval of the bond package, the
bond measure will be submitted for voter approval in the November 2000 general election. The
Task Force will actively participate in promoting the bond issue for passage.
April 2000
The Transportation System Update Plan (TSP) development process continued during the past
few months. The draft Transportation System Plan has been completed, and is currently being
reviewed by Tigard staff and government agencies. The last Tigard Transportation Task Force
(Planning Commission and citizens) meeting was held in March. The draft plan will be made
available on the City's web site during the coming months. Future activities include: two public
open houses, joint Planning Commission/City Council workshop, and public hearings before
Planning Commission and City Council. The updated TSP is expected to be adopted by late
summer or early fall this year.
The Transportation Bond Task Force conducted a series of meetings during the month of
February 2000 to obtain comments from a broad cross-section of the community. The first
meeting was a presentation to the Citizen Involvement Teams on February 3, 2000 at the Tigard
Senior Center. The other meetings were open house format conducted as follows: February 9,
2000 at Fowler Middle School, February 16, 2000 at Conklin Hall, Metzger United Methodist
Church, and February 24, 2000 at Tigard High School. Following the public involvement
meetings, the Task Force met on March 8 to discuss the citizen input and to incorporate that
input into the criteria for final selection of projects. At a subsequent meeting on March 15, 2000,
the Task Force selected a list of projects that primarily focused on improvements to major
collectors, and one minor collector. The Task Force also recommended a list of alternative
projects that could be implemented if favorable bids are received, or if other funding sources are
identified through partnerships or some other means. At this point, the bond package is
approximately $16 million. The Task Force recommendation is for a ten-year bond term. The
Task Force emphasized the need to minimize adverse impacts to existing neighborhoods during
the design and construction of these projects. The list of projects has been provided to City
Council. The package of projects and other Task Force recommendations will be presented to
the Planning Commission on April 17, 2000, and to City Council on May 9, 2000. Assuming
Council approval of the bond package, the bond measure will be submitted for voter approval
in the November 2000 general election. The Task Force cannot promote the bond package once
r it becomes a measure on the ballot. However, the members indicated their intention to support
the bond issue individually or through formation of some other citizen group for that purpose.
a June 2000
The draft Transportation System Plan (TSP) was completed, and is being reviewed by Tigard
staff and government agencies. Comments have been received from Metro, Washington
County, and the Cities of Beaverton and Tualatin. Comments are expected from ODOT during
the last week of June. Future activities will be scheduled after receipt of all comments. These
activities include: two public open houses, joint Planning Commission/ City Council workshop,
and public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. The updated TSP is
expected to be adopted prior to the end of the calendar year.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 5
The Transportation Bond Task Force presented the package of projects and specific
recommendations to the Planning Commission on April 17, 2000. The Planning Commission
endorsed the Task Force recommendations and approved the projects for further submittal to
City Council. The City Council approved the Task Force recommendations during the Council
meeting on May 9, 2000, and directed the preparation of a resolution and ballot title to place the
bond measure on the November 7, 2000 election ballot. The Transportation Bond Resolution,
Ballot Title, and Explanatory Statement have been prepared and will be considered by City
Council during the June 27, 2000 Council meeting.
The recommended projects include transportation system improvements for:
• Gaarde Street - 99W to 121st Avenue
• 121st Avenue - Walnut Street to North Dakota Street
• Walnut Street - Tiedeman Avenue to 121st Avenue
• 121st Avenue - Gaarde Street to Walnut Street
• 98th Avenue - Signalization at Durham Road
• Fonner Street - Walnut Street to 115th Avenue
If, after the above-listed projects have been completed, there are bond funds remaining, the
alternative projects listed below will be funded in order of priority shown:
• Commercial Street - North side, Main Street to Lincoln Street
• Burnham Street - Main Street to Hall Boulevard
• Tigard Street - South side, Main Street to Tiedeman Avenue
• Tiedeman Avenue - Greenburg Road to Tigard Street
The total estimated cost for the recommended projects is $16 million. The proposed bond issue
is for a period of 10 years in the amount of $16 million. The Task Force cannot promote the bond
package once it becomes a measure on the ballot. However, the members indicated their
intention to support the bond issue individually and through formation of a citizen group for
that purpose.
September 2000
The draft Transportation System Plan (TSP) has been reviewed by Tigard staff and government
agencies. Comments have been received from Metro, Washington County, ODOT, and the
Cities of Beaverton and Tualatin. The public process for eventual adoption of the updated
! TSP include: two public open houses, joint Planning Commission/ City Council workshop, and
L public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. The updated TSP is
expected to be adopted in December 2000.
The proposed Transportation Bond Issue has been placed on the November 7, 2000 election
ballot and is identified as Measure 34-20. The recommended projects in this proposed bond
j issue include transportation system improvements for:
• Gaarde Street - 99W to 121st Avenue
• 121st Avenue - Walnut Street to North Dakota Street
• Walnut Street - Tiedeman Avenue to 121st Avenue
• 121st Avenue - Gaarde Street to Walnut Street
• 98th Avenue - Signalization at Durham Road
• Fortner Street - Walnut Street to 115th Avenue
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 6
If, after the above-listed projects have been completed, there are bond funds remaining, the
alternative projects listed below will be funded in order of priority shown:
• Commercial Street - North side, Main Street to Lincoln Street
• Burnham Street - Main Street to Hall Boulevard
• Tigard Street - South side, Main Street to Tiedeman Avenue
• Tiedeman Avenue - Greenburg Road to Tigard Street
The proposed bond issue is for a period of 10 years in the amount of $16 million. The
Transportation Bond Task Force has been deactivated through Council Resolution No. 00-57,
thereby allowing Task Force members the opportunity to support the bond issue individually
and through formation of a citizen group for that purpose. Resolution No. 00-57 commends the
Task Force members for a job exceptionally well done.
December 2000
The TSP progress through the public process has been delayed to provide more opportunity for
public review and comment. The open houses scheduled on November 6, 2000 and December 4,
2000 were sparsely attended. The presentation to the Planning Commission has been postponed
until February 5, 2000. The Council workshop and public hearing for adoption of the TSP will
be sometime early in 2001 following Planning Commission approval. Evaluation of potential
Measure 7 impacts will have to be performed prior to adoption of the plan.
The Transportation Bond did not pass, losing by a 64% to 36% margin. A review of the votes by
precinct shows the measure losing by a consistent margin throughout. Council has provide
direction to staff to reconstitute the Transportation Bond Task Force to re-evaluate the bond
package, determine what went wrong with the bond issue, and make some recommendations to
City Council for future funding strategies. The reconstitution of the Task Force will occur early
in 2001.
D. Future Actions
• Planning Commission Public Hearing for the Transportation System Plan (February 5,
2001)
• City Council Workshop to discuss and clarify elements of the TSP (to be determined
later)
• City Council Public Hearing for adoption of the TSP (to be set later)
• o Reconstitution of the Transportation Bond Task Force (February 2001)
• Recommendations from the Task Force on strategies to pursue in funding
Transportation System Improvements (to be determined later)
• Continue incorporation of safety improvements and traffic calming measures in the
yearly CIP (with CIP formulation beginning in February and ending with Council
i budget approval in June 2001)
I
f
At this point, no significant resources beyond those already budgeted are needed. Depending
upon the recommendations from the Transportation Bond Task Force and the possible need to
extend the public process for TSP adoption, additional funding resources may be required to
continue those activities. Any additional resources required will be identified as the processes
proceed.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 7
- NEW
E. Recommendation
This goal should be continued in 2001. The tasks will be the same for the TSP, with the
exception of the Measure 7 impact evaluation. The process has been extended to allow for
further public comment, but the steps remain basically same. The tasks have to be revised for
the Transportation Bond Task Force because of the failure of the measure in the November 2000
election. The effort in 2001 will be to determine what went wrong with the bond measure as
submitted, what changes if any should be made, and whether the measure should be
resubmitted to the voters in 2002. Part of the Task Force effort will be to determine what other
funding sources could be explored to fund the necessary transportation system improvements.

Goal No. 2: Review the results of the Atfalati Recreation District
Feasibility Study and determine if the City should support
formation of the District by endorsing forwarding the results
of the study to the Washington County Board of
Commissioners asking that a measure be placed on the
November 2000 ballot to form the District
A. Background
In 1997 the Atfalati Recreation District (ARD) was formed, as a non-profit organization to
explore the feasibility of forming a recreation district in Southern Washington County. Tigard
had recently completed a visioning process that addressed this issue also. The City also worked
with ARD in the development and acquisition of the "Lamb-Gray" property, known as the
Cook Park Expansion. During this period of time, Tigard was in the process of developing a
Park Master Plan, which discussed organization options for expanded recreation progress.
Cogan Owens Cogan had completed the Beaverton/Tigard Urban Services Project (SB122) that
studied three alternatives for providing park and recreation services to the Tigard Urban
Services area. The concept of establishing a new park and/or recreation district to include
Tigard, the Urban Services area and possibly other Southwestern Washington County cities was
identified as a feasible option to consider.
A task force was established involving Tigard, Tualatin, Durham, Sherwood and the
Tigard/Tualatin School District in 1999 to study the feasibility of forming a district. The late
Mayor, Jim Nicoli, and Ed Wegner represented the City of Tigard on the steering committee.
When Mayor Nicoll s health worsened, he was replaced on this committee by Council
President, Brian Moore.
In June 1999, the task force participants through an IGA with Tigard, hired Cogan Owens
Cogan to conduct a feasibility study for the need to form a district. There were several reasons
stated for recommending the district be formed:
• Recreation services would benefit the entire community.
• Existing resources are inadequate to pay for the new services envisioned.
a. • Recreation services benefit the region and a regional approach is the most cost-
_r effective way to deliver these services in a comprehensive way.
~ In the spring of 2000, Tigard, Tualatin and the Tigard/Tualatin School District passed
resolutions consenting to the formation of a new County Service District. These resolutions
Q were forwarded to Washington County Board of Commissioners. The Commissioners
j conducted two public hearings and placed the subject on the November 2000 General Election
Ballot. The above mentioned agencies authorized Phase II of the Feasibility Study to include
building first and third year budgets, hold public hearings and conduct a second proposed
district wide statistically valid poll. Steering Committee members and consultants met with
members of the task force and citizens to discuss the survey results and recommended changes
to the type of facilities and activities proposed for the district. They also convened a
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 9
Governance workshop with elected officials from participating jurisdictions to discuss the
recommendation of the task force and results of the survey.
Participants in both meetings agreed that it was important to keep a tax rate and resulting
property tax bill for the district as low as possible, without sacrificing quality and quantity of
service, striving for an annual cost to the homeowner of between $80 and $100.
A citizen committee lead by Dave Nicoli and John Anderson actively promoted Measure 34-23,
the Atfalati Partnership, in the November 2000 General Election. This measure was defeated
15,638 to 13,339.
B. Tasks Anticipated
The tasks identified as part of this goal were:
• Review the ARD feasibility study.
• Determine if the City supports formation of the district, and, if approved;
• Forward the study to Washington County for a November 2000 election.
C. Quarterly Update/Goal Achievement
April 2000
At the March 28, 2000, City Council Meeting, the City Council passed on a 3 - 2 vote a
Resolution consenting to the formation of a new County Service District. The City Manager
was authorized to sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for an amount not to exceed
the stated tax rates of $.48/1,000 operating and $.35/1,000 bond cost. The cities of Durham and
Tualatin are yet to act on support of the resolution, but are scheduled to do so within the next
few weeks, as is the Tigard-Tualatin School District. The details of the MOU are being worked
out by all parties. When all resolutions are approved and a MOU is completed, they will be
forwarded to the County Board of Commissioners.
June 2000
The Washington County Board of Commissioners has adopted an order declaring its intent to
form the Atfalati Recreation Partnership District, an ORS Chapter 451 County Service District.
Two public hearings are scheduled. The proposal is to seek voter approval in November 2000,
for a permanent rate levy of approximately $0.83 per 1,000 assessed valuation for operation and
capital projects.
September 2000
Washington County Board of Commissioners has placed the decision to establish a recreation
special service district on the November ballot. The ballot measure number is 34-23.
The task force has completed its work and has disbanded. Cogan Owens Cogan has submitted
its final report for phases 1 and 2 and executive summaries were distributed.
Staff is awaiting the election results to begin implementation or to decide how the City of
Tigard will need to address recreational needs of the citizens of the community.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 10
D. Future Goals
The Steering Committee met December 13, 2000, with Council member Brian Moore and John
Roy, Property Manager, representing the City of Tigard. The following are the Committee's
"next step" plan:
• "Secure the continued support of the partners (Tigard, Tualatin, Tigard-Tualatin
School District and Washington County). There are goal setting meetings scheduled
for January and the Steering Committee should be prepared to go back before these
groups and outline the future steps.
• Secure financial support from the partners.
• Discuss with Max Williams potential legislative action that may benefit our process."
E. Recommendations
Continue the goals for 2001, however, modify the goal or task to achieve goal completion.
Council representative Moore told the Steering Committee members he would be making a
recommendation to continue this goal.

Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 11
Goal No. 3: Assist the Tigard Central Business District Association to
develop a plan for the downtown
Tasks listed in the Council Goals for 2000 were:
• Continue to support the efforts of the Tigard Central Business District Association.
• Participate in the Oregon Downtown Development Association resource team data-
gathering event in February.
• Budget funds for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to support the plan for the downtown to be
developed by the Tigard Central Business District Association.
A. Background
In 1996, residents, government officials, business people, and community group leaders
volunteered to work together to determine what the future of the community should be,
Adopting the name "Tigard Beyond Tomorrow" they established a process that would define a
vision of our community. One of the many goals they established addressed the needs on our
downtown and states:
"Provide opportunities to work proactively with Central Business District (CBD)
businesses and property owners and citizens of Tigard to set the course for the
future of the central downtown area."
From this came Council's goal to "assist the Central Business District Association to develop a
plan for the downtown". This lead to the formation of the Tigard Central Business District
Association (TCBDA) in 1998. TCBDA formed around the recognition that the City's
downtown is the heart of the community and is the logical place for people to gather, interact
and do business. It was also recognized that the downtown is an inviting place with interesting
storefronts with the community's history and culture.
One of the initial challenges associated with this goal was the formation of group to take on the
role of champion for the downtown. TCBDA accepted that role and has continued to lead
efforts towards revitalizing the downtown. TCBDA has hired the Oregon Downtown
Development Association (ODDA) to develop an action plan as well as a revitalization plan for
the downtown. The next major effort will be for the Association to develop a funding source to
support their efforts. ODDA is helping with that also.
i
The City has provided funding for TCBDA to contract with ODDA and hire a part time
manager to assist in their revitalization efforts.
B. Tasks Anticipated
Tasks listed in the Council Goals for 2000 were:
• Continue to support the efforts of the Tigard Central Business District Association.
• Participate in the Oregon Downtown Development Association resource team data-
gathering event in February.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 12
• Budget funds for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 to support the plan for the downtown to be
developed by the Tigard Central Business District Association.
C. Quarterly Update/Goal Achievement
April 2000
TCBDA contracted with the Oregon Downtown Development Association to complete a
Resource Team report on downtown Tigard. A series of recommendations resulted from this
effort and will serve as a plan to shape the downtown.
The Resource Team believes that it is important to strengthen the downtown as the "heart" of
the community. It can be achieved, in part, through elements of design, appropriate mixed use
redevelopment, and capitalizing on the downtowns image, history, and culture. Creating a
strong and positive image that promotes the specialness of the downtown and marketing it to
the community will define and highlight its unique role.
The results of the report will be presented to Council on April 18, 2000.
June 2000
TCBDA and representatives from the Oregon Downtown Development Association presented
the report on downtown Tigard to City Council on April 18, 2000.
The Association is currently evaluating conducting the Tigard Daze event in the downtown.
The final outcome of those discussions will be presented to Council in July.
The Association has also investigated the feasibility of replacing light pole banners along Main
Street. A formal request for funding will occur in July.
In conjunction with the Balloon Festival, TCBDA initiated a treasure hunt with several
downtown businesses participating in the event and offering prizes.
The Association is evaluating the need to hire a part-time manager to assist in implementing the
Resource Team Report and Action Plan. This will be presented at the July 18 meeting.
September 2000
[ Council recommended to support funding for a part-time manager to assist the TCBDA in
carrying out the recommendations of the Resource Team. Furthermore, funding was approved
to hire the Oregon Downtown Development Association (ODDA) to assist the development of a
funding source for the TCBDA. Council also approved providing funds for the purchase of
1
j new pole banners in the downtown area.
i
i
TCBDA is currently reviewing applications for the part-time manager position and finalizing a
contract with ODDA for funding. The new banners have been ordered.
TCBDA has developed promotional efforts for the downtown, including a business social
(9/13/00), a sidewalk sale (9/30/00), and holiday lighting (Thanksgiving weekend).
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 13
December 2000
The TCBDA has contracted with ODDA to help secure an alternative source of long term funding
for the downtown. They also have hired William Wadman III as the part-time Downtown
Manager. He will be responsible for coordinating all project activities locally and help guide the
organization as it grows. He will also help to implement an Economic Improvement District or
Business Improvement District for the downtown.
The Association has had three successful community events promoting the downtown. This
included a sidewalk sale, and Halloween and holiday tree lighting events. Hundreds of
residents and children participated.
D. Future Actions
• Continue to assist the Tigard Central Business District Association develop a plan for
the downtown. This includes providing financial support for a part time downtown
manager and technical assistance while they secure long term funding through the
formation of an economic and/or business improvement district or other funding
mechanism. (Note: During recent TCBDA presentations to City Council, the Association has
indicated a desire to reduce City funding of tlw Association to approximately one-third of the
total cost.)
• Support the Associations efforts to form an economic and/or business improvement
district by holding hearings and passing necessary ordinances establishing such
districts. The Association plans to seek approval of a district in 2001.
E. Recommendations
Continue the goal until the TCBDA is able to secure a funding source. At that time, the City
should re-evaluate the assistance provided to the TCBDA to determine what, if any, level of
funding should continue to be provided by the City.

Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 14
Goal No. 4: Complete the City Master Plan for Parks
A. Background
Council adopted the Park System Master Plan in March 1999. It replaced the previous master
plan, which was adopted eleven years earlier. The stated purpose of the new plan is to detail
the vision, goals, and implementation framework of a City-Urban Services Area park and open
space system. The key recommendations for implementing the vision included the acquisition
and development of 96 acres of community parks to meet future population needs and ensure
geographical accessibility to all residents, plus the acquisition and development of an additional
133 acres of neighborhood parks in under served neighborhoods.
The master plan public involvement process was relatively extensive and consisted of Planning
Commission oversight, a community-wide preference survey, special public and CIT meetings,
and Council presentations.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) or tentative list of projects for the next ten years contained
in the Master Plan was not adopted as part of the plan. Instead, decisions regarding the actual
expenditure of funds for individual park capital projects were proposed to be incorporated into
the City's regular budget process. Similarly, the 11 acres per thousand population park standard
contained in the plan was adopted as an "aspirational" or visionary standard and not as an
existing or operational standard.
According to 1998-99 master plan budget estimates, the cost of carrying out the ten-year CIP
totaled $21.7 million. At least three-quarters of the money was proposed to come from a
general obligation bond or local option levy. Approximately one-quarter was proposed to come
from the park system development charge (SDC). The main obstacle to implementing the plan
nearly two years following its adoption is that the plan has not been linked with an adequate
budget. The funding approach for parks up to now has been to primarily rely on the park SDC.
Another obstacle is that the SDC funding levels anticipated in the master plan have not been
realized. This is partly because the master plan assumed the City SDC would be extended to
the Urban Services Area. At present, the SDC only applies to new development inside the City.
Development activity within the Urban Services Area is not subject to a park SDC. In order for
the City to begin charging a park SDC in this area, the City must receive specific legal authority
from the County. More than one year ago, following completion of the park system master plan
and an updated park SDC methodology study, the City formally asked Washington Country to
give the City the needed legal authority to impose an Urban Services Area park SDC. The
rationale for granting this authority was and continues to be that the area is developing without
parks (at the current rate of approximately two hundred housing units per year). If the City, as
the area's future park provider, must continue to wait until the area is legally annexed in order
to charge a parks SDC, more funds will be lost and less vacant land will be available to begin to
meet the area's park needs.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 15
B. Tasks Anticipated
Tasks listed in the Council Goals 2000 were:
• Review the City's request to Washington County that a parks systems development
charge be created and collected within the Washington County Urban Services Area
administered by Tigard.
• Have Public Works and the Atfalati Recreation District update Council on the plans
for development of Cook Park. What projects are planned and when will they be
completed? Will the City or Atfalati be responsible for completing elements of the
plan?
• Complete the Summerlake Park plan after the Council makes a decision on how the
lake will be utilized or altered.
C. Quarterly Update/ Goal Achievement
April 2000
Most of the current year projects included in the implementation portion of the Park System
Master Plan are being carried out. Funding shortfalls have delayed the implementation of two
projects (upgrade playgrounds and fenced dog park) on the 99/00 list.
Staff will update Council on April 11 on the status of park projects, potential land purchases,
and available grant funding.
June 2000
The City lacks an adequate budget to full implement the Parks System Master Plan's
recommendations for 2000-01. The expansion of Cook Park is underway and several land
acquisitions are pending. Several other ambitious projects, such as the Tualatin River
pedestrian bridge and the development of two new neighborhood parks, recommended in the
Master Plan for current year implementation, have had to be postponed due to funding
shortfalls.
September 2000
The Main Street and Fowler School segments of the Fanno Creek Regional Trail are nearing
completion. Both segments included the installation of pedestrian bridges. Two properties, the
0.6-acre Lund and the 13.0-acre Brown properties have been added to the City's parkland
inventory. ODOT currently is implementing the wetland creation and enhancement portion of
the Woodard Park Expansion Plan. This work will be completed in November.
i
i A citizen's focus group has been formed to search for suitable temporary and permanent fenced
dog park sites. The Park Master Plan identified the need for three such sites.
The Cook Park wetland mitigation project is underway with the planting work scheduled for
completion no later than October 12, 2000. All plans and specifications for future construction
projects at Cook Park should be completed by November 15, 2000.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 16
At Jack Park, the City has installed new playground equipment and ground cover. The City is
working with the neighbors and PGE on a lighting project. The City is also getting quotes to
fence the area by the apartments to keep residents from driving into the park.
December 2000
The Main/ Ash and Tigard/Tiedeman segments of the Fanno Creek trail have been completed
and open to the public.
A temporary, fenced dog park has been established on the site of the former residential
property located at 12770 SW Ash Avenue, between the Operations and City-owned property
leased to CPAH and Neighborshare. The Water District has agreed to allow the City to
establish a second temporary dog park on the grounds of the reservoir property located at 125th
and Bull Mountain Road. A neighborhood meeting required as part of the Conditional Use
process for the dog park is set for January 8, 2001.
The Cook Park wetland mitigation project, intended to compensate for the future disturbance of
wetlands located within the proposed new parking area and the 85th Avenue emergency access
ROW, has been completed. A swing set has been installed in the new Northview Park.
D. Future Actions
Given the chronic problem of under funding, the emphasis of future actions should be on
identifying the additional resources needed to address the goal.
• Revise the park SDC fee schedule to reflect the current cost of providing parks services
to new residents. An updated park SDC fee study prepared by a City consultant is in
draft form at present. When revised and legally reviewed, it will be forwarded to
Council with a recommendation to revise the park SDC fee structure to reflect current
costs.
• Request and obtain the Washington County Commissioner's approval to extend the
City park SDC to new development within the Urban Services Area. According to
current projections, during the period 2000-06, approximately 995 housing units will
be constructed within the Urban Services Area. In terms of current dollars and the
updated fee schedule alluded to above, the absence of a Urban Service Area SDC
represents a potential loss of $1.4 million dollars in Park SDC fees.
0 The park user fees and rents charged by the City have not been changed since 1992.
Implement the master plan recommendation to increase the fees charged to sports
field and group site users, and eliminate the preferential rates given to Tigard-based
non-profit youth athletic organizations over other Tigard-based non-profit
i organizations.
• Continue to work with and identify potentially available properties to the Metro
Greenspaces program in order to obtain regional funding for the acquisition of
additional natural areas and streamside properties within the City. Metro has
purchased two properties totaling 20 acres to date and is actively pursuing two other
properties located within the City. Other candidate properties will be identified as
part of the joint City-Metro Fanno Creek Trail Feasibility study scheduled to start early
next year.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 17
• Pursue available public and private grant opportunities for parkland additions and
facility improvements, as available. Grant programs targeted for funding requests
during 2001 include the CDBG program, the Recreational Trails Program, the Local
Government Grant Program, and the Oregon Community Foundation grant program.
• Consider a bond levy measure to provide the resources needed to fully implement the
park master plan should the Atfaliti Recreation Committee decide not to pursue a
second bond measure.
• Consider the expenditure of general fund revenues for park improvements.
• Work with the Wilsonville-Beaverton Commuter Rail Task Force to expand the scope
of this project to include looking at the feasibility of a rails with trails alignment for the
Durham to Tualatin River section of the Fanno Creek regional trail.
• Support the recommendations of the MPAC Parks Subcommittee regarding the
creation of new regional resources to both fund expansion of Metro's own parks-
related programming and to enable Metro to provide grants and other support to local
park providers. Among other specific programs, this local support could include a
parks land acquisition lending bank. Local parks providers could borrow from the
bank to timely purchase needed parcels for parks and related lands and facilities when
the opportunity existed and before acquisition costs escalated. The bank could be
funded by a one-time regional bond levy and with other public, private, and nonprofit
sector dollars.
• In early February of 2001, staff will be advertising for bid for the construction of Phase
I of the Cook Park Master Plan Expansion Project. This phase identifies the
construction of the parking lot, sports field, butterfly meadow, and a restroom facility.
A small portion of the construction may begin before the Balloon Festival in June 2001
with the majority being completed after the Festival. The timing of the construction is
in relation to the ground conditions in the construction zone being in a flood plain. It
will be necessary to carry over $800,000 from the current year Parks CIP budget to the
FY 2001-2002. It is important to note that our land use permit requires that all
construction phases related to the Cook Park Master Plan Expansion Project must be
completed by November, 2003.
• Support the staff recommendation for funding the FY 2001-2002 Parks CIP budget to
continue with the construction of the Cook Park Master Plan Expansion Project, Phase
II. Phase II consists of the construction of a tot lot playground, picnic shelter,
restroom-concession stand and regional connection trail. The consulting engineer's
cost estimate for construction of this phase is $745,000. If approved by budget, staff is
prepared to advertise for bid Phase II construction in June of 2001.
C • Support the staff recommendation for funding the FY 2002-2003 Parks CIP budget to
continue with the construction of the Cook Park Master Plan Expansion Project, Phase
III. Phase III consists of the construction of a maintenance building, wetland viewing
a gazebo, site improvements, landscaping and irrigation. The consulting engineer's cost
estimate for construction is $485,000. Construction bid documents are already
prepared so, if approved by budget, staff will be prepared to go out to bid in June of
2002.
• Upon completion of the task for review of Summer Lake, Council should determine
the long-term plan for Summer Lake and complete the Summer Lake Park master
plan.
Council Goal Summary a6d Recommendations Page 18
E. Recommendations
Continue the goal for 2001. However, modify the implementation schedule to reflect resource
levels. Council must officially request that the Washington County Board of County
Commissioners take action on creating a park SDC fee for Tigar&s Urban Services Area. Funds
generated from this fund would go towards park capital improvements.

Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 19
Goal No. 5: Determine the City's long-term water supply.
The City, along with its Intergoverrunental Water Board
members is presently looking at the following three long_
term water supply options: Portland Water Bureau, Toint
Water Commission, and South Fork Water Commission (the
Clackamas River water supply)
A. Background
Since 1994, when the City began operating the Tigard Water System, it has been the desire of
the Council to secure a permanent long-term water supply either through a cooperative
partnership or ownership of a supply system.
In 1994, the City commissioned the engineering firm of Murray Smith and Associates to
complete a Water Supply Plan update. In that report, seven long-term water supply options, all
of which were consistent with regional water supply planning goals, were evaluated. The
highest ranked option was the joint development of an expanded Clackamas River supply with
the City of Lake Oswego. Tigard spent the next 18 months trying to negotiate a contract with
Lake Oswego. This option, however, could not be implemented for a number of reasons
including neighborhood opposition to expanding the existing Lake Oswego water treatment
plant located in West Linn.
The City then approached the City of Portland to determine if they would be willing to become
our permanent water supply source. Portland stated that since we have a 25 year contract with
them, which is to expire in 2007, we could purchase additional supplies from Portland.
However, Portland would not commit to providing a permanent source of supply until after the
regional water supply plan was complete and new wholesale contract negotiations initiated.
In March 1996, the first subregional joint effort to explore the development of a drinking water
supply system utilizing the Willamette River above Willamette Falls was completed.
Participates of this first study included the Canby Utility Board, Clackamas River Water,
Tualatin Valley Water District and the cities of Tigard and Wilsonville.
In December 1998, two proposals were presented to the City for a long-term water supply. One
[ proposal was from the City of Portland for water supply from the Bull Run and Columbia
Southshore Wel field. The other proposal was from the consulting team of Murray Smith and
Associates, Montgomery Watson and Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. for the cities of
i Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Wilsonville and the Tualatin Valley Water District for the
development of a Willamette River Supply System.
i
In March 1999, the City Council adopted the Willamette River as it long-term water supply.
However, a citizen group that opposed the use of the Willamette River as a potential water
supply was successful in placing a City Charter amendment on the September 1999 ballot
requiring Tigard to have voter approval before bringing treated Willamette River water into the
water system. The City Charter amendment was approved by City voters.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 20
Since the City Charter election, the City has been evaluating three options for a long-term water
supply. They are: Clackamas River supply through a consortium of water providers including
the South Fork Water Board, City of Lake Oswego, and Sunrise Water Authority, the Joint
Water Commission (made up of the cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Tualatin Valley
Water District, and others), and the City of Portland.
B. Tasks Anticipated
The task listed under the goal within the Council. Goal 2000 is "Continue to evaluate the options
available to the City and select a plan of action." Other tasks were:
• Complete a System Development Charge and water fee update. The consulting firm
of CH2M Hill completed both a System Development Charge and water fee update
taking into account the anticipated need of a long term water supply. The SDC update
utilized the figure of $40,000,000 for a plant capacity of 20 million gallons per day.
Council adopted the $40,000,0000 water supply source financial plan on November 14,
2000.
• Keep the three current water supply options on a parallel track.
• Enter into an agreement with the consulting firm of Integrated Utilities Group to help
negotiate a water supply contract with the City of Portland.
• Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with South Fork Water Board, City of
Lake Oswego and the Sunrise Water Authority (formerly North Clackamas County
Water Commission) to set the ground work for further negotiations on a Clackamas
River water supply option.
• Enter into an agreement with the Joint Water Commission for surplus water. Tigard
did enter into a short-term agreement for 1,500,000 gallons per day of JWC water. This
agreement has since been extended until the end of 2001.
• Participate in the JWC water master plan in order to develop a "Tigard scenario."
C. Quarterly Update/ Goal Achievement
April 2000
The City along with its Intergovernmental Water Board members is presently looking at
the following three long- term water supply options:
• Portland Water Bureau
C The wholesale water group has hired Paul Matthews of Integrated Utility Group to
a negotiate with the Portland Water Bureau on the wholesale water contract. Tigard's
proportionate share of the contract is $23,101. There is no target date at this time for a
report from the consultant.
i • Joint Water Commission
The Joint Water Commission has hired Economic and Engineering Services, Inc. (EES)
to work on their facility plan and cost allocation study. After JWC reviews this
information they will forward it to Tigard for review.
• South Fork Water Commission
The South Fork Water Commission has voted on continuing to study the idea of equity
ownership and is preparing an RFP to move forward with this study. Once the RFP
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 21
has been approved, and a contract issued, Tigard will know what their proportionate
share of the project will be. At this time, there are no target dates for these matters.
June 2000
• South Fork Water Commission
a. A consultant has been hired to review permitting and other regulatory rules to
make sure the plant expansion could be a reality.
b. The consultants are preparing for a staff workshop in mid-July to hear issues
and criteria for each agency.
C. In mid-September an elected officials workshop will be held to discuss these
needs and begin developing a memorandum of understanding to continue. if
feasible, with this source.
• Portland Water Bureau
a. Integrated Utility Group has reviewed reports on water rates, demands forecast,
and developed a model to use in assessing the Portland proposal as it pertains to
economic impacts.
b. We are still awaiting a first draft outlining contract concepts from the Portland
Water Bureau. We were told the document would be available by the end of
June. As of June 28, 2000, we have not received the document.
• Joint Water Commission
a. Economic and Engineering Services, Inc. reviewed the joint Water Commission
Facility Plan with the Intergovernmental Water Board. The cost of the allocation
portion of the study is ongoing.
b. Joint Water Commission partnering meetings have been held with staff and I
anticipate that at the July 14, 2000, meeting the joint Water Commission will be
making a preliminary decision on the feasibility of allowing Tigard into the Joint
Water Commission for both short- and long-term water supply.
C. Long-term water is still a concern with this proposal, however, an Integrated
Water Resources Group is actively exploring various options and we have been
included.
September 2000
• Portland Wholesale Contract
a. Portland met with the wholesale contractors on 7/26/00 to present a "straw
man" contract.
b. Wholesale contractors are meeting regularly to prepare our thoughts and
concerns.
i c. Wholesale contractors will be presenting our suggestions and contract objective
to Portland staff on October 5, 2000.
i • joint Water Commission
a. . At the July 14, 2000, Joint Water Commission the following recommendations
j were approved:
- Authorize the joint Water Commission General Manager to provide a water
sales agreement for the remainder of the 2000 calendar year.
- Direct staff to develop an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for Tigard to
become a participant with a built-in termination if additional source water
can not be developed.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 22
- Direct staff to move forward on researching and planning for the
development of additional raw water source.
• South Fork/ Clackamas River Water Supply
a. Staff from participating agencies reviewed "fatal flaw" findings from regulatory
agencies. No fatal flaws were discovered.
b. A draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) is being circulated between
participating agencies for adoption.
C. The MOU states that signatories are interested in developing an IGA with
timetables explained and some engineering. By approving the MOU, the City is
not bound to sign the IGA.
Restating the goal achievement options, the City has achieved the following:
1. Portland
• A group of water wholesale purchasers hired IUG to help negotiate the new Portland
wholesale water contract. Tigard's share of the IUG contract is $23,101.
• Received Portland's "straw man" contract on July 26, 2000. Wholesale contractors met
with Portland staff on October 5, 2000, to discuss our suggestions and concerns with
the proposed contract.
• Portland requests that a smaller negotiating team from the wholesale group. Tigard
participates with the cities of Tualatin, Gresham, Rockwood PUD, TVWD and West
Slope water District in hiring the negotiating team of Paul Matthews (IUG), Phil Smith
(MSA) and Clark Balfour.
2. Clackamas River Water Supply
• Entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the potential participates of an
expansion on the Clackamas River.
• Reviewed "fatal flaw" findings from regulatory agencies. None were found.
• Draft IGA was discussed at the November South Fork Water Board meeting.
3. Joint Water Commission
• JWC hired Economic and Engineering Services, Inc. (EES) to work on their facility plan
and cost allocation study.
• Tigard is allowed to enter into a short-term agreement with JWC for 1.5 million gallons
per day of water.
• JWC directs their staff to develop an IGA for Tigard to become a participant with a
built=in termination if additional source water cannot be developed.
• JWC directed its staff to move forward with researching and planning the
development of an additional raw water source.
• Bureau of Reclamation begins Scoggins Dam Feasibility Study.
D. Future Actions
Continue to explore all three options, specifically:
• Have a draft Memorandum of Understanding completed between Tigard and JWC by the
end of January 2001.
• Present a draft of an IGA for Clackamas River Supply to Council in March 2001.
Narrow the selection of long term water supply options by June 2001.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 23
Continue to develop short-term supply options, such as Aquifer Storage and Recovery to bridge
the supply gap until a long-term source is on-line.
E. Recommendation
Goal should be continued in 2001 following the same course of action initiated in 2000.

Goal No. 6: Establish an annexation policy for the City
A. Background
Council has carried this goal forward for several years. Mainly the goal focused on the area
known as the Walnut Island. City and County staffs worked together in 1999 to meet this goal.
Several open houses were held educating the public on the benefits of annexation. With the
efforts of elected officials from the City and County, the Walnut Island was successfully
annexed in May 2000.
As part of the Walnut Island annexation process, staff requested a separate discussion with
Council to discuss annexation options for Bull Mountain and "non-island" areas.
Since the Portland Metro Boundary Commission no longer exists, State annexation law is
directly applied and, in addition, State law also requires application of Metro adopted
standards regarding how annexations will be processed in the Portland Metro area. Metro
requirements involve longer notice periods, which requires more careful planning to insure that
annexations occur at the desired time.
Bull Mountain and Non-Island annexations
A "non-island" annexation is one in which the area to be annexed is not surrounded by City
boundaries. The purpose of annexing these areas would be to simplify the City boundary and
allow efficient delivery of services. The City's and County's long-term plan for the Bull
Mountain area and the non-island areas is that they will eventually be annexed. State law is
different for non-island annexations than island annexations. For non-island annexations to
occur without an election, double majority consent must be obtained. Double majority means
that a majority of the property owners and voters in the area to be annexed must sign a petition
consenting to be annexed. If double majority consent cannot be obtained, in order for
annexation to occur an election must be held in the area to be annexed.
In May of 2000, staff requested that Council direct staff on how to proceed with the non-island
areas. Options presented included:
Option #1 F
Initiate annexation of the non-island areas and send to electors. This will require a majority of
the votes cast in the area to vote in favor of the annexation in a general election.
Option #2
Direct staff to contact property owners to obtain consents. This option will require staff to
contact the property owners in the Bull Mountain area being considered and request that they
sign consent forms. No election is required in the territory if the City has the written consent of
the owners of at least half the land and the majority of the electors in the territory to be annexed.
Option #3
Annex right-of-way wherever possible to create areas in the County that are surrounded by
the City, or create islands. A final option is to have a City policy to annex right-of-ways and
property wherever possible to create islands, so that unincorporated areas could be annexed
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 25
without voter approval. One problem with this option is that this approach could be legally
challenged by the property owners in the areas made into islands, and their legal challenge
would be that the City is depriving them of their right to vote by purposefully creating island
territory. Another problem is the public relations associated with this method.
Council chose a version of Option #2, with staff working with Washington County staff,
contacting property owners to gain annexation.
Given workloads, within the Community Development Department, little progress has been
made towards achieving this goal.
B. Tasks Anticipated
Staff feels that a program needs to be established to carry out this goal. This would include
analyzing the costs and benefits of annexing all or portions of the area. Assuming there are
benefits of annexing this area for the City, there would be a need to establish a detailed
approach to educate and inform the residents and property owners on the benefits of
annexation. Staff resources must also be evaluated to see if there is capacity to meet this goal.
Large scale annexation is a labor intensive effort of contacting property owners.
• Take final action on the island annexations in February.
• Revisit the City's policy on annexation to determine if the City should be encouraging
annexation of properties.
C. Quarterly Update/ Goal Achievement
The following are the quarterly update reports on accomplishment of this goal:
April 2000
Island areas of Walnut Island have been approved for annexation and will, come into the City
on May 17, 2000. Staff is in the process of developing a strategy to address Bull Mountain and
"non-island" areas of Walnut Island to present to Council. Council is scheduled to discuss the
annexation policy on April 25, 2000.
June 2000
Staff presented annexation options on May 23, 2000. Council directed staff to further research
annexation options, especially in terms of staff resources and public outreach. Staff is following
up on getting more detailed information on what this approach entails.
September 2000
Staff is following up on Council's direction to do further research on resource and public
outreach needs for a Bull Mountain annexation process.
December 2000
Due to workloads and other priorities, no further progress has been made on this goal.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 26
D. Future Actions
• Evaluate the costs and benefits of annexing all or portions of Bull Mountain.
• Update Council on the findings of the cost and benefits study for annexing all or
portions of Bull Mountain. Get Council's direction on how to proceed.
E. Recommendations
Continue the goal and evaluate the costs and benefits of annexing all or portions of Bull
Mountain.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 27
Goal No. 7: Encourage and support private sector programs to
rehabilitate housing which will be offered for rent at
affordable rents, resulting in a safer environment for the
tenants (public safety, fire, life, sanitary)
A. Background
Tigard has been a leader among cities of its size in Oregon recognizing the need to address the
growing shortage in affordable housing. Recent activities by the City include support of the
efforts of Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) and the adoption of a Property
Maintenance Code (Housing Code). City Code enforcement personnel work successfully with
property owners to address issues to improve the quality and life of our housing stock.
The City Council has approved property tax exemptions for CPAH's Villa LaPaz property and
supported a proposal for a new residential development on Greenburg Road. In addition, the
City has provided funding to the Good Neighbor Shelter (and the earlier efforts to assist the
homeless in the community).
B. Tasks Anticipated
Tasks listed in the Council Goals for 2000 were:
• Continue to enforce the Property Maintenance Code (Housing Code).
• Target support of private financing of affordable housing within the community.
• Encourage Community Partners for Affordable Housing to take on additional projects
such as the successful Villa La Paz acquisition and rehabilitation program.
C. Quarterly Update/Goal Achievement.
The following are the quarterly update reports on accomplishment of this goal:
April 2000
On March 28, 2000, the City Council approved the request of Community Partners for
Affordable Housing to grant a tax exemption. This is the third annual exemption granted by
the City for the Villa La Paz property. Sheila Greenlaw-Fink of CPAH also reported that they
have submitted an application for funding for the construction of new housing at a site in the
northeast section of Tigard. That application is now pending review.
CPAH is also interested in obtaining additional existing housing to manage for lower income
residents. The agency hopes to balance their property ownership with a mix of existing and
new housing before undertaking another acquisition and rehabilitation project such as that
undertaken at Villa La Paz.
June 2000
Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) has received preliminary funding
approval from the State of Oregon for new construction of affordable housing at a site on
Greenburg Road, in the Washington Square Regional Plan area. Community Development staff
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 28
7!
is working with CPAH to determine the appropriate way to process a request for land approval
to develop the units. Among the options are a comprehensive plan change, an interpretation, or
completion of the implementation elements of the Washington Square Regional Plan.
September 2000
CPAH has applied for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone to allow the construction
of a 26 unit housing development. The Planning Commission will consider the application on
September 18, 2000, with final motion scheduled before the City Council on September 26.
CPAH's funding could be at risk if a decision is not final in early October.
On September 19, the City Council discussed strategies to promote the development of
affordable housing. The Council directed staff to return with specific recommendations and
prioritization of strategies.
D. Future Actions
The City Council has indicated an interest in adopting strategies to promote development of
affordable housing. In 2001, staff will present recommendations of strategies to assist affordable
housing providers to either develop, maintain, or improve housing in Tigard. In addition, the
Community Development staff will continue to administer the Property Maintenance Code. An
annual update will be provided to Council in the spring.
E. Recommendations
The majority of work was completed in the prior two years. Once Council establishes the
strategies to be carried out, the goal becomes a task.

Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 29
Goal No. 8: Develop a Demonstration Bus Program for Tigard intra-city
services to be submitted to Tri-Met for consideration in 2000
A. Background
This goal was adopted by Council to address the lack of service available by Tri-Met to serve
Tigard residents trying to move by bus throughout the City. In 1999, the Council Goal was to
"promote intra-city Tri-Met bus routes." Council determined that the goal should be changed to
seek action in 2000.
B. Tasks Anticipated
Tasks listed in the Council Goals for 2000 were:
• Survey City intra-city route rider needs and develop a proposal to place before Tri-Met
for consideration during 2000.
• Through code enforcement, encourage Tri-Met to improve the level of cleanliness, litter
pickups, and garbage pickup at all Tri-Met bus shelters.
In order to accomplish this, staff worked with Tri-Met staff and the Westside Transportation
Alliance to do a survey of Tigard residents to determine which residential areas within Tigard
might benefit from service.
With this information, during the fall of 2000, a partnership was formed with Tri-Met and Ride
Connection to provide dial a ride service for low income residents in Tigard. The service is set
to begin in mid-December and will be funded through Tri-Met monies. It is scheduled to
provide on call service for a one year period of time. After that time is up, the project will be
evaluated to determine the amount of usage.
C. Quarterly Update/Goal Achievement
The following are the quarterly update reports on accomplishment of this goal:
April 2000
Community Development staff has met with Tri-Met staff as well as the Westside
Transportation Alliance and others to discuss the possibility of providing bus service
L throughout Tigard, to serve those areas that have populations which would benefit from
r service. A meeting was held on January 20, 2000, where the Oregon Office of Energy provided
information on programs that could be of benefit to Tigard residents.
At the close of the January 20 meeting, Tri-Met staff offered to help City staff to develop a
transit needs survey which will be placed in the June, 2000 Cityscape to assess the need and
i interest of the community for developing demonstration bus service.
Staff will be presenting a draft Community Transit Needs survey for City Council review and
approval at the April 18 City Council workshop meeting. The revised survey will then be
included in the June Cityscape for City residents to fill out and return to the City Planning staff.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 30
June 2000
Staff presented the transit needs survey and made changes to the survey as per Council
direction. The transit needs survey appeared in the June issue of Cityscape. The results of the
survey are now being tabulated.
September 2000
The results are tabulated. City staff is working with Tri-Met staff to survey Tigard's Hispanic
community. Tigard staff will be returning to Council and briefing them on the survey results.
Staff has also been meeting with Tri-Met and the Westside Transportation Alliance and actively
pursuing funding for Welfare-to-Work, which enables low income Tigard residents the
opportunity to get to their jobs.
December 2000
Ride Connection brochures have been developed and dispatch services have been contracted to
begin service in mid-December. On December 18, staff contacted Dennis Grimmer and the
managers of bus stop programs to address the trash around the bus shelters on Hall Boulevard
and Bonita Road. Community Development staff will continue to contact Tri-Met with specific
requests.
D. Future Actions
An evaluation of the program will be necessary in the summer of 2001 to determine whether it
is a success. If Council desires to continue to partner with the other agencies in providing this
service, funding will need to be established. Additionally, the City needs to continue to
negotiate with Tri-Met to improve service to under served areas of the City.
It is the continuing responsibility of Community Development Director Jim Hendryx to contact
the Tri-Met Bus Stop Program Manager or Community Relations Specialist when shelter
cleanliness issues arise.
Hall Boulevard was adopted by Team Tigard through ODOT's Adopt A Road program. The
area along Hall includes two Tri-Met bus shelters.
IL E. Recommendations
p~ This goal should be continued in 2001 following the same course of action initiated in 2000.

Task Update
Three tasks were identified by Council during the 2000 Council Goal setting. They are as
follows:
1. Support development of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan - a task force
developed a plan that is now before Council for action in February. Further work on the
need to coordinate the improvement of infrastructure at the time of development will be
completed.
2. Expand the use of the City's web page - the City made significant strides in 1999 and will
place even greater emphasis on using the web page as a communication tool in 2000. In
addition, the Council created a new task, related to the web page
3. Strive for implementing a paperless Council meeting in 2000. Staff will investigate the
steps involved to convert to Council use of notebook computers, receiving Council packet
information via the internet, rather than the present Council packet materials.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 32
Task 1
Support development of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan - a task force developed
a plan that is now before Council for action in February. Further work on the need to
coordinate the improvement of infrastructure at the time of development will be completed.
A. Background
The Regional Center Plan was presented to Council in 2000, however, implementation was
delayed until infrastructure issues, and funding, are addressed. Consultants have been selected,
funding for studies (including grants) set aside, and the next tasks identified. Presently,
applications are being received from citizens interested in serving on the Washington Square
Regional Center Task Force. Four subcommittees will be established to address Plan
implementation and infrastructure - natural resources, transportation, storm drainage, and
open space/ parks. It is expected that the Task Force subcommittees will meet in January 2001.
B. Tasks Anticipated
The task is to complete the various subcommittee activities, resolving issues and identifying
funding for infrastructure improvements. Once the tasks are completed, the implementation of
the Regional Center Plan can begin.
C. Quarterly Program Reports on Task Achievement
April 2000
Council approved the Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendments with delayed
implementation until issues of storm water, open space, and funding of infrastructure are
addressed. Staff is currently working on developing a scope of work to address these issues.
June 2000
Staff completed scope of work for the implementation grant funded by both the State and City.
The City has recently issued a Request for Proposal (RFP). Staff is in the process of selecting a
team of consultants and finalizing the contract.
September 2000
The consultant team of Spencer and Kupper, Kittelson & Associates, and Cogan/Owens/Cogan
was the only respondent to the RFP. City staff is working with the consultants and ODOT staff
in finalizing the work contract.
i
j December 2000
I The contracts have been finalized with the consultants and a work program has been
established. The first reconvening of the Task Force will be held at 6:00 p.m. on December 14th
in Town Hall. At that meeting, the Task Force will be briefed on their roles and responsibilities
and asked to participate in Technical Advisory Subcommittees that will explore the
implementation issues in detail. We have also received 18 applications from members of the
public to participate in the Technical Advisory Subcommittees. Those meetings will begin early
in 2001.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 33
D. Future Actions
The long range planning staff, working with a team of consultants, will grade the activities of
the subcommittees. Regular reports to Council will occur. The work of the subcommittees
should lead to studies and reports which will be the basis for completing the Plan.
E. Recommendations
The task should continue according to the schedule of activities outlined by the Community
Development Department.

Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 34
Task 2
Expand the use of the City's web page - the City made significant strides in 1999 and will place
even greater emphasis on using the web page as a communication tool in 2000. In addition, the
Council created a new task, related to the web page
A. Background
In 1998, City staff developed the City's web page. Council recognized the successful effort of
staff and in their goal setting for 1999 and added expansion of the City's web page as a task.
Council encouraged the staff committee to generate ideas to expand the use of the web page as
an informational source.
In the 2000 goal setting, Council recognized significant strides were made in 1999 in expanding
the web site. They renewed their commitment to continue using the City's web page as a
communication tool and to support further expansion of the site during 2000.
B. Tasks Anticipated
While Council has not set specific goals or tasks for the Web Steering Committee, they have
indicated they would like a search engine for the site and for the site to be more interactive. The
Web Steering Committee is recommending the City hire someone with the expertise to add this
functionality to the web site.
C. Quarterly Program Reports on Task Achievement
April 2000
Nancy Lof, Information Processing Technician, has attended additional training on web
site technology. New software was purchased to optimize photographs, which allows
faster user load times when accessing our site. For an example, the City Council page
was redesigned with this new software.
An internal Web Steering Committee has had an initial meeting. One representative
from each department attends meetings on a quarterly basis and works with Nancy and
their departments to continuously review, update, and expand use of this
communication tool.
C Examples of changes and uses of the web site include:
• Updates of the progress (and meeting announcements) of the Transportation
Bond Task Force.
i • New links added; i.e. to Oregon Dept of Transportation for the 217 & I-5
1 ,
construction.
• New maps available for public view.
• A welcome message to the newly annexed Walnut Island residents.
• News releases.
June 2000
The Web Steering Committee has been meeting monthly to provide direction for the
growth of the web site. A draft philosophy statement has been completed and is
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 35
being readied to forward to Executive Staff for review. The Committee has also
developed a list of needs for the City. The Committee will be prioritizing the list,
however it appears the need for a web site search engine and interactive forms are
top priorities for all departments.
Office Services staff did a presentation on the web site for Council. Council
suggested adding a search engine, council e-mail links and a consistent header on
each page to enhance the web site. Following up on the suggestions, the e-mail links
and web page headers were added. Different options for search engines are being
researched and we anticipate the search engine being added this year.
Areas of the web site that have been added or updated:
• The Balloon Festival information was posted on the web site. Hits for the first
two Saturdays of the month were pretty typical (28-30 hits.) The Saturday of the
festival there were 114 hits.
• Current park projects along with pictures are being posted.
• Agendas for Planning Commission and Hearings Officer and Council meetings
are being posted.
• Departments have updated their web sites and more forms are available on-line.
• Staff is reviewing the options for on-line lien searching.
September 2000
The Web Steering Committee has continued to meet to discuss how to manage the
growth of the City's web site. After prioritizing the departmental needs and interests,
Paul deBruyn was brought into the discussion to help us determine the best way to meet
the Committee's goals. A major area of discussion has been whether we can get the
needed expertise through contracting with a vendor or if an in-house position is needed
to monitor and direct the site's growth. Mr. deBruyn recommended an in-house
position. Web Steering Committee members have been working on the position
justification and a job description. The information will be forwarded to management
this next quarter for consideration.
The Web Steering Committee's proposed policy on posting information on the City's
web site for non-profit organizations went before Executive Staff. It was decided that
for the present time only events that are City-sponsored would be posted.
C New additions to the web site include:
• Working in conjunction with PGE - one-stop utility shopping
• Posting of bid advertisements
Complete Tigard Municipal Code on-line
• Opinion poll for Visioning
• New look for the Library's calendar
D. Future Actions
The Web Steering Committee has identified 27 functions they believe would be utilized by the
public and make the City's site more interactive. During the identification process, the
Committee realized they do not have the technical knowledge to determine the best way to
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 36
develop the applications. Consequently, a recommendation for a Web Architect is in process. If
approved departmentally and through City Administration, the position will go to City Council
for approval in 2001. Future resources will include purchase of new software and possibly
hardware, however, we will look to the Web Architect or Consultant to determine what the
actual needs will be.
E. Recommendations
It is recommended that the task be continued in 2001. As the Internet continues to grow, the
public will look to our site for information about the City, the services we provide, what
business they can conduct through the site, and how they can communicate their thoughts and
ideas with us. (Note: Attached is a memo dated November 29, 2000, from Nadine Robinson and the Web
Steering Committee. The memo outlines the need fora new position to assist in the completion of this
task.)
Council Goal Summary and Reconunendations Page 37
Task 3
Strive for implementing a paperless Council meeting in 2000. Staff will investigate the steps
involved to convert to Council use of notebook computers, receiving Council packet
information via the internet, rather than the present Council packet materials.
A. Background
This task was assigned during the goal-setting session for year 2000 goals and tasks. Staff has
been developing plan to outline the steps necessary to make a paperless agenda packet
available for Council and the public via the City's web site.
B. Tasks Anticipated
It is anticipated that this task can be completed by the end of the fiscal year. Steps will include:
• Developing a process for staff to electronically submit agenda packet material.
• Setting up a notebook computer as a prototype for at least one Council member to
assist staff in working out any problems.
• Determining how many "paper" copies we will continue to provide.
• Determining how revised agendas will be processed.
• Developing a filing system for approved Council items (e.g., resolutions,
ordinances, contracts), since these items will now be filed in one location.
• Determining how confidential information shall be accessed by Council members.
C. Quarterly Program Reports on Task Achievement
The following are the quarterly update reports on accomplishment of this goal:
April 2000
Paul deBruyn and Cathy Wheatley met to review ideas for transitioning to a "paperless City
Council meeting packet." Paul is in the process of identifying equipment needed (for example,
should we purchase laptops for each City Council member) and the best way to transmit the
City Council packet to the City Council members. Paul and Cathy are also reviewing what
other cities are doing in this area.
June 2000
At the May 16, 2000, Council meeting, it was decided that the first step towards automating the
routing of information to the Council be the addition of e-mail links on the City web site. As a
result of that meeting, we have added an e-mail link for each Council member. Mail from
citizens to Council members via these links is routed to Cathy Wheatley with the individual
Council member's name specified. Cathy Wheatley receives the mail and reroutes or takes
action as needed.
September 2000
Paul deBruyn has installed a document scanner for primary use by the Finance department, but
with an automatic document feeder attached. This will enable the operator to insert up to fifty
sheets of documents to be scanned and the feeder will scan each sheet automatically. This will
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 38
vastly decrease the labor and time required to scan in the various documents that are included
in the Council packet.
The City's Computer Services staff has prepared a laptop for use by a Council member who will
participate in our trial period. We are working with a web vendor for assistance in the
modifications to the web page to execute a download procedure.
Cathy Wheatley attended the Oregon Association of Municipal Recorders Conference in
September 2000. One of the sessions was devoted to "Technology in the Recorder's Office" and
a portion of this session dealt with the "paperless Council packet" The City Recorders from
Bend and Redmond shared their experiences. Both of these cities publish packets electronically,
which are available on the Internet. Here are some highlights of that presentation:
• It appears that it is best if the packet can be published in a "text based" format. The City of
Redmond uses Adobe Acrobat for the download reader.
• During a "transition period" a hard copy of the Council packet is still needed for some
users.
• Because the packet material is available on the Internet, other interested parties (including
citizens, attorneys, City staff) can download those portions of the packet that are of interest
to them.
• A hard copy still serves as the "record."
• No cost savings are realized. Once the system is online, staff time and costs for packet
preparation are about the same because of initial input of data (i.e., scanning and
formatting), support, and maintenance needs. However, the advantage is that the
information would be available to anyone with computer access.
• Laptops will need to be purchased for each of the Councilors along with two power
adapters; one for home use and one available at City Hall.
• Councilors can have the ability to write notes for agenda items and then "bookmark" them
for quick accessibility.
• Open meeting law requirements and public record requirements must be followed. For that
reason, Redmond did not install e-mail access for their Councilors.
Also, there are a number of other questions and issues that can and will be resolved. For
example, how would staff members access Council packet information? Would it be necessary
to have a number of laptops at the Council meeting for staff members as well, or will hard
copies of the packet still be necessary?
The City Recorder will continue to work on this goal during the last quarter of 2000 with City
j staff and seek assistance from the experience of other cities that use a paperless council system.
The target for implementation is during the second quarter of 2001.
D. Future Actions
On December 19, 2000, the majority of Council indicated that staff should move forward with
the paperless Council project. Staff will concentrate on developing the internal processes for a
prototype for a Councilor to use in the first quarter of 2001.
Council Goal Summary and Recommendations Page 39
E. Recommendations
The task should be completed by the end of 2000. Refinement of the process will continue in
2001. As we take this step forward in "E-Government;" we will be better able to determine
what our next step should be.
