GRANT FUNDS.
CITY MGR OK
PREPARED BY: Roger Dawes DEPT HEAD OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council amend the FY 2002-03 Budget to increase appropriations to allow expenditure of Police
Department grant funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this budget amendment.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City was awarded a grant in the amount of $24,361 from the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program,
Department of Justice. The City Council voted to accept the grant and authorized expenditure of the grant funds at
the October 8, 2003 City Council meeting. This action, however, did not include amending the FY 2002-03
Budget.
This action would increase appropriations giving the department budget authority to spend the funds. The funds
were used to purchase 5 automated external defibrillators, a laptop computer for the Municipal Court, a software
program called LEDS (Law Enforcement Data System) which will allow the police department to continue in the
Oregon Law Enforcement Data System, a training program directed at high school drivers called CRASH which
uses automobile crashes as a basis for teaching physics, math, drivers education and other high school courses, and
money for middle school and after school programs.
Under Oregon Budget Law, it is not possible to recognize revenues from general purpose grants (such as the Local
Law Enforcement Block Grant) without a supplemental budget. Supplemental budgets take several weeks to
process, and there is not sufficient time in the fiscal year to do so. It is therefore necessary to amend the budget by
transferring appropriations from contingency to cover the grant expenditures. The City will still receive the grant
revenues, which will offset the draw on contingency.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not approve this budget amendment; maintain the current FY 2002-03 budget. This would prevent the City
from appropriating and using the rant funds this fiscal year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council
FROM: Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager
DATE: June 20, 2003
RE: Status of Legislative Issues
In preparation for your discussion with Senator Burdick and Representative Williams at
the June 24 Council Meeting, department directors have prepared updates on
legislation they have been tracking. Many of the bills were discussed in the May 23,
2003, status memo distributed to Council. Copies of the summaries are attached.
This memo briefly summaries the legislation that is still under consideration and, if it's a
new legislation, the city's position and impact on the city if the legislation is adopted.
LABOR ISSUES
SB 444, 445 and 446:
These three bills that relate to collective bargaining were stuffed into HB 2237.
HB 2237:
This bill addresses the disclosure of public safety officer photographs by the
Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), records to be provided
to DPSST, and DPSST actions after lapse, suspension, revocation or surrender of a
public safety officer or instructor certification. These issues are of much less
significance than the senate bills which have been incorporated into HB 2237. Those
bills will have a negative impact on the cost and management of public safety
employees.
According to the LOC, HB 2237 is to be up for a vote in the next few days. The
Senate's action to incorporate SB 444, 445 and 446 into HB 2237 is apparently a way to
circumvent the House Committee process. If HB 2237 passes the Senate, it will be sent
to the House. If the House concurs by a majority vote, then the bill passes. If not, a
conference committee may be appointed.
Human Resources Manager, Sandy Zodrow sent an email to Senator Burdick on June
13 urging her to oppose HB 2237 because it contains SB 444, 445 and 446.
ENGINEERING ISSUES
SB 585 (Street User Fees) and SB 881 (Local Gas Tax)
No changes to the status of these bills.
HB 2041-A-2003 Oregon Transportation Investment Act (OTIA III)
This new bill provides for local maintenance and preservation of streets. It addresses
critical roads and bridges, provides funding for projects of state-wide significance, and
includes funding for municipalities to use in addressing street maintenance backlogs.
The city strongly supports this bill because it would provide urgency needed funding to
help address our street maintenance backlog of over $4 million. The League of Oregon
Cities issued a legislative alert on this bill (attached.) Also, attached is a letter signed by
the Mayor to Representative Williams urging his support of the bill.
PLANNING AND BUILDING ISSUES
SB 378 (cap on land use appeals)
A Judiciary Committee hearing was held, the work session was cancelled.
HB 2689 (Urban Growth Boundary Elimination)
A water and land use committee public hearing was held. The June 11 work session
was cancelled.
HB 2595 (Affordable Housing)
This bill was referred to the Revenue Committee. No action has been taken to date. It
is expected to die in committee.
HB 2906 (SDC Methodology)
The third reading was on May 8, 2003. The bill has been referred to the Labor and
Consumer Affairs Committee.
LIBRARY ISSUES
HB 3101 and SB 656 (Internet Filters)
No change to the status of these bills since the May report.
FINANCE ISSUES
HB 2267 (Statewide 1 % Hotel/Motel Tax Pre-empts Local Taxes)
This bill is still in committee. The Governor supports the 1 % statewide tax, but his
position on local pre-emption is unclear. The lodging industry is shopping the Dash-6
amendments which include a local pre-emption. Representative Williams opposes a
local pre-emption.
STATE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS
The Finance Department is monitoring the state budget discussion for possible impacts
on the City of Tigard.

fON /
FROM: Sandy Zodrow, Human Resources Director OREGON
RE: Legislative Update
All of the major PERS bills we were tracking previously have been signed into
law by the Governor. The remaining bills relate to collective bargaining and they
are specifically SB 444, 445, and 446 which were "stuffed" into HB 2237. A
thorough description of those senate bills was discussed in my previous
legislative update memo and is enclosed for your information.
HB 2237 is a bill that addresses the disclosure of public safety officer
photographs by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training
(DPSST), records to be provided to DPSST, and DPSST actions after lapse,
suspension, revocation or surrender of a public safety officer or instructor
certification. These issues are of much lesser significance than the senate bills
which have been incorporated into HB 2237. Those bills will negatively affect the
cost and management of public safety employees.
The last update we have received is that HB 2237 was to be up for a vote in the
Senate sometime in the next few days. According to LOC, the Senate's action to
incorporate these bills into HB 2237 is a way to circumvent the House committee
process. If HB 2237 passes the Senate, it will be sent to the House. If the House
concurs by a majority vote, then the bill passes. If not, a conference committee
may be appointed.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

May 20, 2003
TO: William A. Monahan, City Manager
FROM: Sandy Zodrow, Human Resources Director
RE: Update on Current Legislation
The following represents a status summary of those collective bargaining and
PERS related bills which we have been tracking:
HR 2001: cap on PERS earnings
Governor Kulongoski has signed this House Bill into law. The bill provided an 8
percent annual cap on earnings for a Tier one member's regular account until
the deficit account has been eliminated and the reserve account has been fully
funded in each of the three immediately preceding calendar years.
HR 2003: multiple elements
House Bill 2003, which the Governor has signed into law, has several
components:
a) It will eliminate the 6% member contribution to the member's PERS
retirement account. The money will go into a transition account.
Employers will be mandated to continue to pick up the 6 percent
member contribution for two years if they currently pay the contribution.
After two years, the member contribution will continue but employees
will bargain with employers regarding who will pay the contribution.
b) Halts the 8 percent annual crediting to Tier One member accounts until
the deficit account is eliminated.
c) Ensures that a lifetime average of the assumed rate (currently 8
percent) will be credited to the member's PERS account at retirement.
d) Temporarily removes future cost of living allowance (COLA) increases
for members who retired between April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2004 under
the Money Match calculation. PERS will recalculate the member
retirement benefit based on a lower crediting amount for 1999 (11.33
percent vs 20 percent). Once the frozen benefit adjusts to the lower
crediting level, COLA payments would begin again.
HB 2004: Updates PERS mortality tables
Governor Kulongoski has signed House Bill 2004C into law with an effective date
of July 1, 2003. This bill updates mortality tables used to calculate monthly
pension payments for PERS participants.
HB 2005: PE ZS Board
House Bill 2005 was signed into law by the Governor, and contains the following
sections:
a) It reduces the PERS Board from 12 to 5 members
b) Provides that the Governor appoint five Board members to begin terms
on September 1, 2003
c) Stipulates that one Board member must be a state employee in a
management position (when appointed and throughout the term of
appointment) or a person who holds an elective office (by election or
appointment) in the governing body of a participating public employer
other than the state. One member must be a public employee. Three
Board members must be from the private sector with no interest in the
benefits provided by PERS.
d) Staggers the length of terms for Board members.
SB 444• Changes interest arbitration factors
SB 444 changes the factors considered in interest arbitration. This proposed
legislation favors unions by revising the definition of "comparable communities"
used in arbitration to eliminate the requirement that comparisons be made only to
cities of similar size. This will roll back some of the achievements employers
obtained in the passage of SB 750 back in 1995. This bill also would elevate
public safety services above all other local service considerations as it relates to
interest arbitrations. It would strengthen the position of public safety bargaining
units at the expense of other city services. A hearing was held May 19 before a
House Committee, and the matter remains undecided at this time.
SB 445: Expands covered positions
SB 445 would expand the composition of police and fire bargaining units to
include any supervisory employee that does not have the authority to exercise
economic discipline (Le suspension, demotion, termination). Even the Police
Chief could potentially be included in a bargaining unit! Current law excludes
supervisory positions due to their ability to hire, adjust grievances, discipline and
other factors. This proposal radically changes the content of public safety
bargaining units. A hearing was held May 19 before a House Committee, and the
matter remains undecided at this time.
SB 446: Staffing levels subject to negotiations
SB 446 would require employers to bargain over staffing levels that have a
"potential' impact on the on-the-job safety for police and firefighter unions. This
bill would subject the matter of staffing levels and workload issues to a third party
arbitrator to determine in the event binding arbitration is pursued. This would take
considerable economic and service decision making out of the hands of local
government. Both SB 445 and SB 446 would significantly undo the gains
employers made with the passage of SB 750 in 1995. A hearing was held May
19 before a House Committee, and the matter remains undecided at this time.

SUBJECT: Update on Current Legislation
There have been no changes in status for the Senate bills SB 585 and SB 881 reported to you on
May 21, 2003. However, there is a new bill, HB 2041-A, known as the 2003 Oregon
Transportation Investment Act (OTIA III) which is proposed to generate $2.5 billion into the
economy for the next 10 years. A major component of the funding is bridge repair and
replacement. However, there will be funding allocated for maintenance work on streets in the
various counties and cities in Oregon.
The following is the report on this bill:
HB 2041-A - 2003 Oregon Transportation Investment Act (OTIA III)
This bill provides funding for local maintenance and preservation of streets. It addresses
critical roads and bridges, provides funding for projects of state-wide significance, and
includes funding for municipalities to use in addressing street maintenance backlogs.
City's Position: The City strongly supports this bill. The League of Oregon Cities also
strongly supports the bill.
Bill Status: The bill was reported out of the House Revenue Committee on June 13, 2003
and could be on the House floor by next week. The League of Oregon Cities highly
recommends that local jurisdictions send a letter of support to their State representatives
as soon as possible. I will prepare a letter today for the Mayor's signature, directed to
Representative Max Williams, urging support for the bill when it comes up for a vote in
the House of Representatives.

The Honorable Max Williams
State Representative, District 9
Oregon House of Representatives
900 Court St. NE H-276
Salem, Oregon 97301
Dear Representative Williams:
The City of Tigard strongly supports passage of HB 2041-A. This bill, known as the 2003
Oregon Transportation Investment Act (OTIA III), will provide $2.5 billion in funding over the
next 10 years to address critical roads and bridges, construct road modernization projects of
statewide significance, and provide much-needed dollars for county and city street reconstruction
and preservation projects. Tigard has a street maintenance backlog of over $4 million. That
backlog includes some major road reconstruction projects.
Passage of the bill will provide a significant boost to Oregon's economy and will be a major first
step in addressing the critical transportation needs across the entire state. We urgently need the
funding that this bill can provide, if passed. It is our understanding that the bill has already been
reported out of the House Revenue Committee and could be on the House floor as early as next
week.
We strongly urge that you vote in favor of this bill when it comes up for a vote in the House of
Representatives.
Sincerely,
JAMES E. FFITH

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD
TO: Bill Monahan
FROM: Jim Hendryx
DATE: June 20, 2003
SUBJECT: Update on Current Legislation
Following are summaries of current legislative bills and CD comments:
SB 378 - sets cap on land use appeals
This bill sets a statewide cap of $250 for land use appeals and requires local governments to
refund or reimburse appeal fees and transcript costs incurred by person who successfully appeals
local land use decision.
Comments: The state statue also limits the appeal fee to $250 for an appeal if there hasn't been a
local hearing. The problem with doing it with all appeals is that it could encourage frivolous
appeals on many cases, unduly delaying and slowing the development process for legitimate
approvals by NIMBYS. The problem for local government in times of financial problems is that the
cost of processing these appeals runs into the $1,000's of dollars in costs that cannot be
recovered. It puts a bigger burden on the tax payer to pay the bill in the long run. The City should
oppose this bill through LOC affiliated groups, such as the Oregon City Planning Directors
Association (OCPDA). OCPDA will decide whether to take an official position on this bill at its
4125103 meeting and then proceed with testimony, etc.
As of 519103: Oregon City Planning Directors Association did not take a position on this specific
bill. We continue to oppose this bill. Staff will follow this bill and decide how to proceed.
As of 6117103: Judiciary hearing held, 6111103 work session cancelled.
HQ 2689 - Urban Growth Boundary Elimination Act of 2003
Authorizes counties to designate rural development zones without adopting exceptions to
statewide planning goals relating to urbanization or to public facilities and services. Establishes
criteria for rural economic planning in rural development zones.
Comments: This bill would allow urban development outside the UGB. It would allow urban levels
of development on over 50,000 acres of rural "exception" lands. This could cost taxpayers money
to service that development with new infrastructure and could hurt farmers and foresters. The
Governor's office does not support this bill and will most likely veto it. The City should oppose this
bill through LOC affiliated groups, such as the Oregon City Planning Directors Association
(OCPDA). OCPDA will decide whether to take an official position on this bill at its 4125103 meeting
and then proceed with testimony, etc.
As of 519103: Oregon City Planning Directors Association did not take a position on this specific
bill. Staff will follow this bill and decide how to proceed. The bill appears to have extensive
opposition. The City has not taken an official position on this bill.
As of 6117103: Water and Land Use Committee public hearing held; 6111103 work session
cancelled.
HB 2595 - Affordable Housing
Repeals prohibition on real estate transfer taxes. Would allow local governments to implement a
real estate transfer tax to fund affordable housing.
Comments: The City should oppose this bill through LOC affiliated groups, such as the Oregon
City Planning Directors Association (OCPDA). OCPDA will decide whether to take an official
position on this bill at its 4125103 meeting and then proceed with testimony, etc. Referred to
Revenue.
As of 519103: Oregon City Planning Directors Association did not take a position on this specific
bill. Staff will follow this bill and decide how to proceed.
As of 6117103: Referred to Revenue Committee; no action taken to date.
HB 2906
Requires that methodology for establishing improvement fees promote objective of future system
users contributing no more than equitable share to cost of existing facilities. Extends time
to file legal action challenging methodology for calculating system development charge from 60
days to (yet to be determined) days.
Comments: This bill is being sponsored by Max Williams at the request of Oregonians in Action.
On April 25th, the City sent a letter to Max Williams and Ginny Burdick expressing opposition to this
bill (attached). On May 9th, Max Williams sent a letter in response (also attached). The bill was
referred back to Committee and Rep. Williams does not expect it to come to the floor again this
session.
As of 6/17/03: Third reading on 518103; referred to Labor and Consumer Affairs Committee.
Following is a list of bills put together by the Oregon Building Officials Association (OBOA). Gary
Lampella is on the OBOA Legislative Committee and closely monitors proposed legislation that
could affect the Building Division and the City of Tigard. His specific comments are noted in bold
type.
As of 6120103: No changes from last update of 519103.

Finance is tracking the following legislative items.
HB 2906-A
Introduced by Representative Williams at the request of Oregonians in Action. Amendments to
the bill would allow anyone charged a Systems Development Charge or traffic Impact Fee to
challenge the basic methodology setting the fee at any time the fee is levied, rather than at the

Welcome the delegation from Samarinda, Indonesia and a presentation on the status of the partnership program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Formally welcome the delegation from Samarinda Indonesia and hear a presentation on the status of the partnership
program.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City of Tigard has been given a unique opportunity to work in partnership with the City of Samarinda, and
County of Kutai, East Kalimantan, Indonesia along with Washington County. This is part of the International
Resource Cities program which is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and
implemented by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA).
In February, 2002, a delegation from Tigard and Washington County visited Samarinda and the County of Kutai
and signed an agreement between the cities and counties and ICMA to develop an improved citizen participation
process, create a solid waste recycling program, design and implement a training program in double entry
accounting, and prepare a matrix of potential revenue generating programs.
In June of 2002, a delegation of seven Indonesians visited Tigard and Washington County and trained with city and
county staff in the above areas. In October of 2002, a delegation of six city and county staff members went over to
Indonesia to conduct training in the program areas.
A delegation of three Samarinda representatives visited Tigard the week of February 8, 2003, to receive further
training in the area of citizen participation, drinking water systems and recycling education. On June 18, Rusman
Yaqub and Suyitrio arrived to participate in training with the City of Beaverton's Dispute Resolution Center They
will attend the June 24th Council meeting to discuss the benefits of the exchange program.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City Council approve a resolution to adopt the Master Fees and Charges Schedule?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution.
INFORMAtIUN JU1VllVIA-K (
On June 17, 2003, Staff briefed Council about proposed fee changes and the need to update the current Master Fees
and Charges Schedule. The Master Fees and Charges Schedule, which contains all citywide fees and charges, was
first adopted on January 22, 2002. The purpose of the Schedule is to streamline the review process and minimize
the number of resolutions and ordinances relating to fees and charges. Tigard Municipal Code (TMC) 3.32.050
requires that the City Council review fees and charges annually.
There are various reasons for the proposed changes. Several of the fees are either adjusted annually by previously
approved formulas or set by other agencies. Other fees are no longer adequately recovering the City's cost to
provide services. Finally, some fees are related to services and/or permits that the City no longer provides or are
redundant within the Schedule.

On June 10, 2003, City Council conducted an informational hearing and considered establishing the cost
150 reimbursement district. The submitted
.60 per square foot of the owner' s otedThos amou t ~n cuded an
that resulted in a cost to each owner of $0 plus a
estimated construction cost of $326,490, a 15% contingency added to the estimated construction cost, p
13.5% engineering and administration fee.
On June 3, 2003, bids for the construction of the project were opened. The apparent low bid contained errors,
was considered non-responsive, and rejection of the bid is recommended. The second lowest bid is $366,664.40
submitted by Kerr Contractors. Staff has reviewed the bid documents and concludes that this bid is responsive
and that Kerr Contractors is a responsible bidder. The bid amount is 12.3% higher than the Engineer's Estimate
of $326,517. However, the range of bid amounts received on this project indicates that the true project lower
bids construction cost probably around Ot, contractors become ofully engaged in con truct onuand tend to bid
because as summer work begins in eames
higher on projects advertised at that time. The bid by Kerr Contractors has to be either awarded or rejected no
later than 45 calendar days after the bid opening (i.e. July 16, 2003), unless the City and Kerr Contractors
mutually agree in writing to extend that period.
Based on the low responsive bid of $366,664, the expected project cost is $436,970 or $0.62 per square foot of
lot served. The project cost is arrived at as before by adding a construction contingency and an engineering and
administration fee. However, the construction contingency can now be reduced from 15% to 5% since there is
less uncertainty in basing a project cost on the construction cost as bid rather than as estimated. Despite the
reduction in construction contingency, the estimated costs based on the actual bid do increase the cost to each of
the property owners in comparison to the previous estimate.
Reimbursement District No. 29 is in the same situation as No. 28. In addition, there is an upcoming reimbursement
district formation proposed for the vicinity of Murdock Street and 100'h Avenue. We intend to conduct a
neighborhood meeting for District Nos. 28 and 29 on July 9, 2003. Attached is a letter that will be sent to each
resident in the two districts with meeting notice, estimated costs, and an explanation of the Citywide Sewer
Extension Program enclosed. The meeting for the proposed district on Murdock Street will be conducted on July
10, 2003. At these meetings, the rationale for the Citywide Sewer Extension Program to provide sewer service to all
developed but unserved lots within the City will be discussed. Each of the affected property owners will be
provided an opportunity to review the estimated costs and ask questions regarding their proposed districts. For
proposed districts 28 and 29, the estimated costs will be based on the bid results received. The proposed district for
the Murdock Street area will be based on estimated costs using typical prices on bids received to date.
Because of the need to discuss the districts with the affected lot owners, the formation of Reimbursement District
No. 28 does not seem advisable at this time. The best course of action appears to be for Council to close the public
hearing and decline to form the district. Any action to form the district would be taken only after the neighborhood
meeting is conducted and the feedback from the residents is carefully considered prior to any decisions regarding
the proposed project. The decision on whether or not to award the current low bid or request a time extension on the
bid amount will be made after the neighborhood meeting has been conducted and a decision has been made
regarding formation of the district.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue the public hearing and delay the formation of the district until after the neighborhood meeting is
conducted and the results are discussed with Council.

Estimated Cost to Owners based on bid results.
At this neighborhood meeting, City staff will be available to answer questions and
receive comments on these two proposed sewer reimbursement districts to provide your
neighborhood with sewer service. The proposed projects are part of the Citywide Sewer
Extension Program that is intended to extend service throughout the City by 2006.
Attendees will be presented with several options and asked which project option is
preferred for their neighborhood. The options are as follows:
• The first option is to form the proposed district and award the contract to
construct the project to the current low bidder. This would permit construction
this summer. The estimated cost to each owner under this option is shown in the
attached table. The costs shown include the amount the contractor bid, a 5%
construction contingency, and 13.5% for an engineering and administrative fee.
• The second option is to not form the district and not award the contract for
construction and rebid the project next spring.
• The final option is to delay the entire project until 2006, the final year of the
Citywide Sewer Extension Program.
The amount each property owner will be required to pay will be limited to $6,000 for
connections completed within three years of City Council approval of the final City
Engineer's Report following construction, in accordance with Resolution 01-46. This
resolution also requires the owner to pay any fair share amounts that exceed $15,000.
Consequently, if the final fair share for an owner exceeds $15,000, the owner would be
required to pay $6,000 plus the amount the fair share exceeds $15,000.
Each owner would be required to pay a connection fee of $2,435 at the time of
connection to the sewer. 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. There is no requirement to
connect to the sewer or to pay any fees until the owner chooses to connect to the sewer.

Citywide Sewer Extension Program
Background
The Citywide Sewer Extension Program is a Council-directed program to systematically extend
sewer service throughout the City. The mechanism to extend the sewer lines and provide service
is through the formation of reimbursement districts. Reimbursement districts are formed to
install public sewers to the lots within the districts and the owners would reimburse the City for a
fair share of the cost of the public sewer at the time of connection. The program is now entering
its third year and is intended to provide public sewers to all developed but unserved areas in the
there were over 680
City. At the beginning of this program approximately in the Tigard Triangle Area,
residential lots throughout the City, pus about
without sewer service. These lots were typically on septic systems 30 years old or more. Failed
septic systems create health hazards to the community. It is extremely difficult to react to failed
septic systems that occur at random throughout the City. The ideal solution would be to extend
sewers to all unsewered residential areas such that City sewer would be available as these
systems fail.
The previous program prior to 2001 initiated projects contingent upon sufficient interest shown
within a project area. To be considered for the program at that time, a neighborhood was required
to submit evidence of resident support of a project. Consequently, reimbursement districts were
established as requested by the residents rather than by a schedule set by the City. Unfortunately,
this resulted in sewers being installed at random throughout the City. Often, lines had to be
extended through other areas to serve those lots with failing septic systems. It was an extremely
inefficient and expensive way to provide sewer service.
Council therefore directed the establishment of a 5-year program to systematically extend sewers
Citywide in accordance with a sewer master plan developed for that purpose. On June 12, 2001,
Council adopted the current plan to install sewers throughout the City by 2006 on a schedule set by
the City rather than in response to requests for service from owners. The intention was to
systematically extend sewer service throughout the City so that as aging septic systems failed,
sewers would be available for the owner to connect to without delay and at the least possible
expense. To encourage early sewer hookups under the previous program, City Council established
the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program on October 13, 1998. This
program limited the amount any residential owner was required to pay for a share of the public
sewer to $8,000 up to a maximum of $15,000 if the connection was completed within one year
from when it was first available.
To encourage even more connections, Council modified the Incentive Program in 2001 so that the
maximum amount an owner is required to pay for a share of the public line was reduced from
$8,000 to $6,000 up to a maximum of $15,000. The time allowed for an owner to take advantage of
this reduced cost was increased from one to three years from when the service first became
available.
Citywide Sewer Extension Program Summary
Page l of 2
The Current Program
Under the current program, the City forms reimbursement districts to construct the sewer
improvements. At the time the property owner connects to the sewer, the owner would reimburse
the City for a fair share of the total project cost. The amount an owner reimburses the City to
connect to the sewer includes the actual amount the contactor is paid to construct the project plus
13.5% for engineering and administrative costs. For those owners that connect within the first
three years after sewer becomes available, the City offers an incentive program that caps the
owner's share at $6,000 for the fair share that falls between $6,000 and $15, 000. The owner
would pay for any costs that exceed $15,000. This, in effect, is a maximum $9,000 subsidy from
the City. Costs that exceed $15,000 for any particular lot typically indicate that the lot is large in
size and is capable of being subdivided into two or more lots upon development.
In addition to the fair share of the project cost, each owner would be required to pay a connection
fee of $2,435 before connecting to the line and would be responsible for disconnecting the
existing septic system according to County rules and for any other plumbing modifications
necessary to connect to the public line. Because the costs for plumbing modifications and closure
of the existing septic systems vary widely for each lot and structure, each owner would need to
consult a plumbing contractor to provide an estimate for what that cost would be.
The costs involved are therefore:
• Fair Share of the Project Cost (Each lot's share of the actual cost of the project plus
13.5% for engineering and administrative costs)
• Connection Fee (currently $2,435.00)
• Plumbing modifications to connect to the sewer lateral provided (Owner's
Responsibility-Costs vary dependent upon situation))
e Closure of the existing septic system (Owner's Responsibility-Costs vary dependent upon
situation)
There is no requirement to connect to the sewer or to pay any fees until the oo or moue s to
after
connect to the sewer. Property owners that connect to the sewer fifteen (15) years
the district is formed do not have to pay the reimbursement fee. The connection charges at the
time of connection would apply.
For those that do not choose to connect during the first three years after the sewer is made
available, the reimbursement fee would be the full share of the project cost plus an annual
increase as established by the City's Finance Director. The current rate (simple interest) is
6.05%.
The program is expected to conclude in 2006. Once the program is concluded, the remaining lots
would be served based on interest shown by the residents and would be dependent upon
availability of funding at that time.

RE: Septic to Sewer Conversion Project
Dear Mayor and City Council:
We live in Reimbursement District No; 29 on Derry Dell Court and this letter is
being written to express interest and support for the septic to sewer conversion
project. We would like the sewers installed on our street as soon as possible and
WITI-16 JT delay.
Many of our houses and septic fields are approaching or already 50 years old. We
are verb aware of the high possibility of failure and the high cost of repairs at that
age. Wr, also realize that connecting to sewers increases our property values.
I have not canvassed the entire neighborhood but have talked to several residents.
Our neighbor and ourselves want to connect immediately and we have signed below.
We understand from our Community Connector, Jessica Cousineau, that a residence
at the comer of Derry Dell and Park also Wants to connect immediately. I did not
have tune to verify their name and address before this letter was written; Also
another neighbor is very interested and is looking into financing. I believe they will
6fineet Because when we approached them on bringing natural gas lines down the
street, they agreed, and we converted from oil to gas and they converted from
electric to gas. They just need to get then financing.
Tl'h bottom line for us is; We want: sewers and we want them NOW: We are tired o
waiting! Please bring them down the street! It is 2003 and we are not connected to
sewers! Let us do soinethiiig about this NOW!

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Formation of Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No 29 (SW Park Street Derry
Dell Court) (Continuation from June 10, 2003)
1n
PREPARED BY: G. Beny DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK G ~~Y ~Y ~y i
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Formation of Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 29 to construct a sanitary sewer project as part of the
Citywide Sewer Extension Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Close the public hearing and deny formation of the district. Direct staff to conduct a neighborhood meeting to
discuss and answer questions regarding the proposed project.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Construction of the improvements in proposed Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 29 would provide
sewer service to forty-seven lots along the unserved portions of SW Park Street, Derry Dell Court, Cook Lane, and
Watkins Avenue. As with all projects constructed through the City's Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program, the
City would install public sewers to each lot within the Reimbursement District and the owners would reimburse the
City for a fair share of the cost of the public sewer at the time of connection to the sewer. In addition, each owner
would be required to pay a connection fee of $2,335 ($2,435 after June 30, 2003) before connecting to the line
and would be responsible for disconnecting the existing septic system according to County rules and any other
plumbing modifications necessary to connect to the public line.
On June 10, 2003, City Council conducted an informational hearing and considered establishing the
reimbursement district. The submitted City Engineer's Report reported an estimated project cost of $535,030
that resulted in a cost to each owner of $0.71 per square foot of the owner's lot. This amount included an
estimated construction cost of $409,900, a 15% contingency added to the estimated construction cost, plus a
13.5% engineering and administration fee.
On June 3, 2003, bids for the construction of the project were opened. The apparent low bid contained errors,
was considered non-responsive, and rejection of the bid is recommended. The second lowest bid is $485,894.50
submitted by Dunn Construction. Staff has reviewed the bid documents and concludes that this bid is responsive
and that Dunn Construction is a responsible bidder. The bid amount is 18.5% higher than the Engineer's
Estimate of $409,906. However, the range of bid amounts received on this project indicates that the true project
construction cost is probably around $500,000. Re-bidding the project would most likely not result in lower bids
because as summer work begins in earnest, contractors become fully engaged in construction and tend to bid
higher on projects advertised at that time. The bid by Dunn Construction has to be either awarded or rejected no
later than 45 calendar days after the bid opening (i.e. July 16, 2003), unless the City and Dunn Construction
mutually agree in writing to extend that period.
Based on the low responsive bid of $485,894, the expected project cost is $579,060 or $0.76 per square foot of
lot served. The project cost is arrived at as before by adding a construction contingency and an engineering and
administration fee. However, the construction contingency can now be reduced from 15% to 5% since there is
less uncertainty in basing a project cost on the construction cost as bid rather than as estimated. Despite the
reduction in construction contingency, the estimated costs based on the actual bid do increase the cost to each of
the property owners in comparison to the previous estimate.
Reimbursement District No. 28 is in the same situation as No. 29. In addition, there is an upcoming reimbursement
district formation proposed for the vicinity of Murdock Street and 100a' Avenue. We intend to conduct a
neighborhood meeting for District Nos. 28 and 29 on July 9, 2003. Attached is a letter that will be sent to each
resident in the two districts with meeting notice, estimated costs, and an explanation of the Citywide Sewer
Extension Program enclosed. The meeting for the proposed district on Murdock Street will be conducted on July
10, 2003. At the meeting, the rationale for the Citywide Sewer Extension Program to provide sewer service to all
developed but unserved lots within the City will be discussed. Each of the affected property owners will be
provided an opportunity to review the estimated costs and ask questions regarding their proposed districts. For
proposed districts 28 and 29, the estimated costs will be based on the bid results received. The proposed district for
the Murdock Street area will be based on estimated costs using typical prices on bids received to date.
Because of the need to discuss the districts with the affected lot owners, the formation of Reimbursement District
No. 29 does not seem advisable at this time. The best course of action appears to be for Council to close the public
hearing and decline to form the district. Any action to resubmit the district for formation would be taken only after
the neighborhood meeting is conducted and the feedback from the residents is carefully considered prior to any
decisions regarding the proposed project. The decision on whether or not to award the current low bid or request a
time extension on the bid amount will be made after the neighborhood meeting has been conducted and a decision
has been made regarding formation of the district.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Continue the public hearing and delay the formation of the district until after the neighborhood meeting is
conducted and the results are discussed with Council.

The City of Tigard is conducting a Neighborhood Meeting to discuss and answer
questions regarding proposed Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District Nos. 28 and 29.
Attached are the following:
• Notice of Neighborhood Meeting (July 9, 2003)
• Citywide Sewer Extension Program Summary
Estimated Cost to Owners based on bid results.
At this neighborhood meeting, City staff will be available to answer questions and
receive comments on these two proposed sewer reimbursement districts to provide your
neighborhood with sewer service. The proposed projects are part of the Citywide Sewer
Extension Program that is intended to extend service throughout the City by 2006.
Attendees will be presented with several options and asked which project option is
preferred for their neighborhood. The options are as follows:
The first option is to form the proposed district and award the contract to
construct the project to the current low bidder. This would permit construction
this summer. The estimated cost to each owner under this option is shown in the
attached table. The costs shown include the amount the contractor bid, a 5%
construction contingency, and 13.5% for an engineering and administrative fee.
The second option is to not form the district and not award the contract for
construction and rebid the project next spring.
The final option is to delay the entire project until 2006, the final year of the
Citywide Sewer Extension Program.
The amount each property owner will be required to pay will be limited to $6,000 for
connections completed within three years of City Council approval of the final City
Engineer's Report following construction, in accordance with Resolution 01-46. This
resolution also requires the owner to pay any fair share amounts that exceed $15,000.
Consequently, if the final fair share for an owner exceeds $15,000, the owner would be
required to pay $6,000 plus the amount the fair share exceeds $15,000.
Each owner would be required to pay a connection fee of $2,435 at the time of
connection to the sewer. 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. There is no requirement to
connect to the sewer or to pay any fees until the owner chooses to connect to the sewer.

Citywide Sewer Extension Program
Background
The Citywide Sewer Extension Program is a Council-directed program to systematically extend
sewer service throughout the City. The mechanism to extend the sewer lines and provide service
is through the formation of reimbursement districts. Reimbursement districts are formed to
install public sewers to the lots within the districts and the owners would reimburse the City for a
fair share of the cost of the public sewer at the time of connection. The program is now entering
its third year and is intended to provide public sewers to all developed but unserved areas in the
City. At the beginning of this program approximately two years ago, there were over 680
residential lots throughout the City, plus about 80 commercial lots in the Tigard Triangle Area,
without sewer service. These lots were typically on septic systems 30 years old or more. Failed
septic systems create health hazards to the community. It is extremely difficult to react to failed deal solution
wou
be to e septic systems that occur at random
areas throughout
uch that City sewerlwould be ava 1 ble as thesextend
sewers to all unsewered residential
systems fail.
The previous program prior to 2001 initiated projects contingent upon sufficient interest shown
within a project area. To be considered for the program at that time, a neighborhood was required
to submit evidence of resident support of a project. Consequently, reimbursement districts were
established as requested by the residents rather than by a schedule set by the City. Unfortunately,
this resulted in sewers being
areas installed
to serve those lots with failing septic systems. It was an extremely
extended through other
inefficient and expensive way to provide sewer service. y
for that systematically eexten
12, 2001 sewers
Council therefore directed the establishment of a 5-year progra
Citywide in accordance with a sewer master plan developed
Council adopted the current plan to install sewers throughout the City by 2006 on a schedule set by
the City rather than in response to requests for service from owners. The intention was to
systematically extend sewer service throughout the City so that as aging septic systems failed,
sewers would be available for the owner to connect to without delay and at the least possible
expense. To encourage early sewer hookups under the previous program, City Council established
the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program on October 13, 1998. This
program limited the amount any residential owner was required to pay for a share of the public
sewer to $8,000 up to a maximum of $15,000 if the connection was completed within one year
from when it was first available.
To encourage even more connections, Council modified the Incentive Program in 2001 so that the
maximum amount an owner is required to pay for a share of the public line was reduced from
$8,000 to $6,000 up to a maximum of $15,000. The time allowed for an owner to take advantage of
this reduced cost was increased from one to three years from when the service first became
available.
Citywide Sewer Extension Program Summary
Page t of 2
The Current Program
Under the current program, the City forms reimbursement districts to construct the sewer
improvements. At the time the property owner connects to the sewer, the owner would reimburse
the City for a fair share of the total project cost. The amount an owner reimburses the City to
connect to the sewer includes the actual amount the contactor is paid to construct the project plus
13.5% for engineering and administrative costs. For those owners that connect within the first
three years after sewer becomes available, the City offers an incentive program that caps the
owner's share at $6,000 for the fair share that falls between $6,000 and $15, 000. The owner
would pay for any costs that exceed $15,000. This, in effect, is a maximum $9,000 subsidy from
the City. Costs that exceed $15,000 for any particular lot typically indicate that the lot is large in
size and is capable of being subdivided into two or more lots upon development.
In addition to the fair share of the project cost, each owner would be required to pay a connection
fee of $2,435 before connecting to the line and would be responsible for disconnecting the
existing septic system according to County rules and for any other plumbing modifications
necessary to connect to the public line. Because the costs for plumbing modifications and closure
of the existing septic systems vary widely for each lot and structure, each owner would need to
consult a plumbing contractor to provide an estimate for what that cost would be.
The costs involved are therefore:
• Fair Share of the Project Cost (Each lot's share of the actual cost of the project plus
13.5% for engineering and administrative costs)
• Connection Fee (currently $2,435.00)
• Plumbing modifications to connect to the sewer lateral provided (Owner's
Responsibility-Costs vary dependent upon situation))
• Closure of the existing septic system (Owner's Responsibility-Costs vary dependent upon
situation)
There is no requirement to connect to the sewer or to pay any fees until the owner chooses to
connect to the sewer. Property owners that connect to the sewer fifteen (15) years or more after
the district is formed do not have to pay the reimbursement fee. The connection charges at the
time of connection would apply.
For those that do not choose to connect during the first three years after the sewer is made
available, the reimbursement fee would be the full share of the project cost plus an annual
increase as established by the City's Finance Director. The current rate (simple interest) is
6.05%.
The program is expected to conclude in 2006. Once the program is concluded, the remaining lots
would be served based on interest shown by the residents and would be dependent upon
availability of funding at that time.
