TIGARD CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING March 15, 2005 COUNCIL MEETING WILL NOT BE TELEVISED I:\OISXDOnna'slccPktZ Agenda Item No. Lk) For Agenda of 4 , a (.o •0 5 COUNCIL MINUTES TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 15, 2005 1. WORKSHOP MEETING 1.1 Mayor Dirksen called the meeting to order at 6:31 p.m. 1.2 Present: Mayor Dirksen; Councilors Harding, Sherwood, Wilson, and Woodruff 1.3 Pledge of Allegiance 1.4 Council Communications & Liaison Reports: None 1.5 Call to Council and Staff for Non-Agenda Items 2. JOINT MEETING WITH LIBRARY BOARD Library Board Members Present: Marvin Diamond Sue Kasson Brian Kelly Ruthanne Lidman - Alternate Jane Smith Suzan Turley, Chair Library Director Barnes introduced this agenda item. She noted that this is the City Council's annual meeting with the Library Board. Library Director Barnes introduced Library Board Chair Suzan Turley. Ms. Turley then introduced the other Library Board members who were present. Ms. Turley thanked the City Council for its support of the new library. She noted that people are thrilled with the new space. The library has three and one-half times more space than the old library. Board member Diamond reviewed statistics regarding the new library. Since opening, the library has experienced a 31 percent increase in visitors - more than 200,000 visitors have accessed the library since its opening. Reference desk transactions are up more than 70 percent and library checkouts are up 14 percent. The number of print and audio visual items processed is up over 20 percent - more than 260,000 items have been processed. Mr. Diamond noted appreciation for the City Council's support of the library. Library Board member Kelly noted that the Library offers lifelong learning opportunities and bedrock services for the community. Library programs and services are offered to all ages. Mr. Kelly reviewed some of the programs available. COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 15, 2005 page l 0 Board member Kasson reviewed that the library has been open from 1-5 p.m. during the last two Sundays. Ms. Kasson referred to a recent survey wherein 71 percent of those participating in the survey requested that Sunday hours be added to the library. On March 6 and 13, approximately 905 people came to the library. Board member Smith reviewed the results of the recent public survey for the library. This information obtained from the community is important so that the Library Board knows how the community feels about the services being provided. 2,830 surveys were completed this year and were available both in English and Spanish. Last year, 1,265 surveys were completed. Of those who responded, 49 percent used the library four or more times per month. Patrons were asked if they found the materials they were looking for when the came to the library: 31 percent said "always," 61 percent said "sometimes," and only .75 percent answered "never." Of those survey respondents who used the reference desk, 97.5 percent rated the service received as excellent or good. 97.5 percent of the respondents who use the check-out desk rated the service as excellent or good. Mayor Dirksen noted the accessibility of the reference desk, which is much better than the old library. Library Board Chair Turley, again, noted her appreciation of the City Council and the City staff. There was some discussion on the peripheral library amenities including the coffee bar and the community room. From the survey comments, people were pleased with the coffee bar. Library Director Barnes noted the community room is available for the public's use; its use is scheduled through city offices. This room has been used for regional training by government agencies as well as by private groups for functions. In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff about the rental income from the library as a potential source for funding library services on Sundays, Interim City Manager Prosser noted that the rate established for the community room was only enough to recover costs for utilities and janitorial services. The library board is working on a Strategic Plan. This information will be presented to the City Council at a later date. 3. JOINT MEETING WITH SKATE PARK TASK FORCE Skate Park Task Force members present for this agenda item: Rich Carlson and Pat Biggs. Staff members present for this agenda item included Public Works Director Koellermeier and Parks Manager Plaza. Public Works Director Koellermeier introduced this agenda item. COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 15, 2005 page 2 Task Force member Rich Carlson reported to the Council on the work to get ready for fundraising. At a recent meeting, there were a number of volunteers who agreed to contact about 80 businesses to raise money for the skate park. A packet of information on the fundraising effort was distributed the City Council. The theme is "Get on Board!" for the Jim Griffith Memorial Skate Park. Fundraising strategies were briefly reviewed with the City Council. Mr. Carlson noted that Mayor Dirksen had signed a letter that would be sent to businesses. There is a plan to publicize the names of those who make a contribution to the skate park. Ms. Biggs noted that, in the packet distributed to the City Council, there is a contribution pledge form. The information contained in the packet was reviewed with the City Council. Councilor Sherwood said it was important to remember to ask those with whom you come in contact about whether they would be willing to make a contribution to the skate park. Mr. Carlson noted that fundraising will continue through May 2005. Information about the Skate Park will be included in the next issue of Cityscape. The skate park article will feature some information about the park as well as asking people to "Get on Board!" Laura Tietz has donated her time for the graphic design work. The Board members discussed with the City Council the fundraising activities to date and solicited ideas from the Council about how volunteers could make contacts. Mr. Carlson asked for help from City Council members in raising funds. Ms. Biggs is coordinating the list of people contacted. Public Works Director Koellermeier noted that an update on the grant application for skate park funds will be coming to the City Council in April. City Council must give staff the authority to apply for the grant is needed. The grant funds come from state lottery dollars. The grant, if received, would be used to match the pledge of $150,000 by the City. Public Works Director Koellermeier advised that General Contractor Doug McDowell will help the City of Tigard work on this project. Mr. McDowell will coordinate the commercial/corporate sponsorships and donations of construction materials. Public Works Director Koellermeier referred to the concept plan. A company by the name of "Dream Land" will create the set of plans which will make it possible to request and obtain permits. The plans will also show a timeline for construction. COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 15, 2005 page 3 Parks Manager Plaza reviewed the proposed schedule, which would be to apply for the State grant in April. By June, it will be known whether or not the City was successful in receiving the grant. Money from the grant would be available in the fall of 2005 and it is anticipated the skate park would be open by June 2006. In response to a question from Councilor Wilson, Public Works Director Koellermeier noted the need to work with the contractor to determine what materials can be provided by donation and those materials that the contractor would need to provide. A system needs to be devised to assure that items donated are available when needed. Mr. Carlson noted that Mark Scott would also be helping with the coordination of donations. Councilor Wilson said he could also help with a list of contacts for construction materials. City employee, Marco Cabanillas, has offered to volunteer to work on the skate park. 4. JOINT MEETING WITH DOWNTOWN TASK FORCE/DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE Downtown Task Force Members Present: Janice Arave, Carolyn Barkley, Martha Bishop, Marland Henderson, and Mike Marr Staff present for this item: Community Development Director Hendryx, Planning Manager Shields, Associate Planner St. Amand. Community Development Director Hendryx introduced this agenda item and distributed to the City Council a Downtown logo button. Highlights of the presentation made by Community Development Director Hendryx are contained on a PowerPoint handout; the presentation is on file in the City Recorder's office. Council received handouts during the presentation and discussion that followed. Handouts included: a brochure entitled, Your Tigard, Your Downtown; a packet of materials entitled, Community Dialog Packet. In addition, a Refined Design Alternative map was reviewed with the City Council. Staff, when reviewing the Refined Design Alternative map, noted the reality of the plan will depend on whether the market will respond to the plan. There are many things the City can do to jumpstart the plan in the implementation stages. The downtown area consists of 140 properties, with 107 property owners. Most of the property owners have been in the City for a long time. Ten percent of the property owners are out-of-state; while 88 percent are from the Metro area or are located within the state. Two-thirds of the people in the downtown area have not been involved in the planning for the downtown area. Communication tools used have included newspaper notices, fliers, and focus meetings. There is some frustration COUNCIL MINUTES -MARCH 15, 2005 page 4 that there has not been more involvement. The Task Force will continue to outreach to the downtown property owners. A meeting was held last week regarding a potential extension of Ash Street. The neighbors that attended this meeting were opposed to the extension. This connection is shown in the Transportation System Plan. The Downtown Plan is not dependent upon the Ash Street extension; however, developers have advised that access and visibility to the downtown are highly important. Decisions will be needed on how the Plan will be implemented. Measure 37 complicates and raises additional issues. Funding of the Downtown Plan would include formation of an urban renewal district. However, it was noted that the Downtown Plan is distinct from an Urban Renewal Plan. The Downtown Plan is a land use document. Task Force Chair Marr noted that there are approximately 22 members of the Downtown Task Force who -represent a wide variety of perspectives. Mr. Marr advised that Tigard. is one of the last communities to set a Downtown Plan in place and said that he believes the Tigard community is suffering because of this. He advised that people do not feel there is community center and he would like to see this corrected. Mr. Marr said the Downtown could have a unique identity where people could spend their time and dollars. He noted the additional employment opportunities that could be made available. He acknowledged there would be issues to work through including the Ash Avenue extension and the railroad crossings. The plan calls for rebuilding most of the Downtown except for Main Street and City Hall; however, the Task Force wanted to make sure that no property or business owner would be on the "losing end of the stick." Relocation of businesses would not be the first choice - the Task Force members want to minimize impacts on business and property owners. Mr. Marr noted that there are a lot of issues that are yet to be decided upon - but there's a need to "start from somewhere." He said that the Task Force felt if would be reasonable to first layout a drawing of what "might be" and then refine the plan. Plan implementation will need to be market driven and developers will need to be certain of the Plan's viability before they will invest. Recently several large developers were contact (including Commercial Realty Advisors, PacTrust, OPUS Northwest, Gramor Development NW, Specht Development, GSL Properties, and Center Oak Properties). Their comments included suggestions about the need for visibility of the. downtown area. The developers said this is an ambitious plan overall, which balances diversity. Mayor Dirksen referred to the Washington County work on an urban renewal plan for the Highway 217 corridor. In the County's study, the mixed uses for residential and commercial for the downtown area were supported. COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 15, 2005 page 5 Planning Manager Shields noted there is excitement about the Downtown Plan - for what's uniquely Tigard and the basic concept of the "green heart of Tigard." There is concern about the need for more parking and the constraints on access from Hall Boulevard and 99W. It is anticipated that the Main Street area will remain much as it is now. New development will complement the Main Street development. Councilor Woodruff noted that the Downtown Plan drawing shows the clearest vision that he has seen so far with regard to concepts for the downtown. He referred to the Vision Task Force recommendation that the downtown become the gathering place for community activities such as the Saturday Market. He noted support for use of the Fanno Creek area for family friendly events. Community Development Director Hendryx referred to a community dialog packet, which gives information on projects that the community and consultants say are key. There was some discussion of the "branding Tigard" efforts for both the downtown and the City of Tigard (which is being pursued as part of a City Council goal). Councilor Wilson noted he attended a December meeting regarding the downtown. He said the drawing appears to have changed. since then. He commented that it looked as if the Task Force backed off on density. Community Development Director Hendryx responded that the current map is a more site- specific plan. There is a need to develop more parking. Planning Manager Shields noted that the number of units that will be available in the downtown is not yet known - a variety of housing options could be pursued. Councilor Wilson commented that, as the downtown area redevelops, he hoped that it would be able to support a mix of uses. Councilor Wilson noted in December that it seemed as though the Ash Street connection had some interesting elements and was depicted as a "spine." Planning Manager Shields noted that if the Downtown Plan does not rely on the Ash Street extension, then the "spine" would move to Pacific Highway. Mr. Marr said that he did not think that the Task Force should rely on the Ash Street extension so much that the Plan would fall apart if there is a great deal of opposition to the extension. He noted the need to work with the neighborhood for a crossing of Fanno Creek and to provide some traffic calming. Another hurdle will be to cross the railroad tracks - to give the downtown some needed traffic circulation. It was suggested that work continue with the Railroad to look at the possibility of consolidating crossings in other areas. Mayor. Dirksen said an over crossing of the tracks was also discussed. Mr. Marr said that a viaduct to address the railroad situation would ruin the ambiance of the downtown. Mayor Dirksen advised that it would be worth considering - to review illustrations of what it would look like if put into place. COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 15, 2005 page 6 Mayor Dirksen said there is much speculation about the Walnut Street extension and a scientific study is needed so that it can be determined exactly what the impact will be. Councilor Harding noted the Greenburg intersection also needs to be addressed. Councilor Wilson referred to the Transportation System Plan and acknowledged the opposition that the Ash Street connection would generate. He also agreed that the downtown area needs traffic circulation improvements. Task Force member Barkley distributed a March 9, 2005, letter to the City Council and Downtown Task from Daniel and Kathy Strauss regarding their questions and concerns associated with the downtown improvement plan. She reported that Mr. and Mrs. Strauss have not received an answer to this letter. Task Force member Henderson noted that the downtown effort will need additional city staffing and requested that this be reviewed during the City's budget process. Mr. Marr encouraged the City Council to look at this as an opportunity to pull the community together. He said there will be a need to compromise. The City will need to have a significant majority of support (85 percent) from the citizens for the plan to become a reality. It is critical to work with people to find ways to give them something they would want. The Ash Avenue neighborhood is critical and for plans to be in place to protect property values. There was brief discussion on Measure 37 implications. The goal would be to make improvements that would increase property values. Community Development Director Hendryx noted the Plan was not far enough along to make a determination about impacts relating to provisions of Measure 37. Planning Manager Shields said Measure 37 issues would have to be addressed. Mr. Marr said if the Council decided to go out for a vote on urban renewal, there would be a need to respond to opposition on this concept. Councilor Sherwood said the urban renewal effort would need to include some funding for public relations. Mr. Marr remarked that how urban renewal works would need to be explained in plain language so people could understand tax increment financing. He suggested that this information be presented by other citizens. Councilor Sherwood said she agreed with Mr. Marr and indicated that this had been also discussed by the Council. Councilor Woodruff said that the challenge would be to work with people directly affected by the Downtown Plan. He said he thought the plan looks "great" for those people who are not directly affected. Mayor Dirksen said there will be some opposition as there are some people who will not want to see any changes. COUNCIL MINUTES- MARCH 15, 2005 page 7 In response to a question from Councilor Harding, Mr. Marr advised that there are not a lot of alternatives for traffic circulation in the downtown area. There was additional discussion on the need to work with the railroad to determine if some of the railroad crossings could be eliminated. The Downtown Task Force will visit again with the City Council in June. Mr. Marr agreed with Councilor Wilson that there needs to be a grassroots campaign for the Downtown Plan to be successful. Councilor Harding suggested that information and a public survey be made available at the Library. She also suggested that the map (drawing) of the proposed Downtown Plan be made available for public viewing at the Library. Mr. Marr said he believes that the majority of the community would support the Downtown Plan; however, there is a need to address the concerns of the minority. Council meeting recessed: 8:38 p.m Meeting. reconvened: 8:44 p.m. 5. PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS FOR FY 2005- 06 City Engineer Duenas presented a staff report; the presentation outline reviewed with the Council is on file in the City Recorder's office. With regard to the $50,000 overlay for Burnham Street, City Engineer Duenas said that after receiving input from Councilors Sherwood and Harding, he is recommending that improvements be delayed until the Downtown Plan is finalized. City Engineer Duenas talked about how concerns could be alleviated with the Walnut Street extension study and to look at the Ash Street corridor. He recommended holding off on this item until the Downtown Plan is completed. There was discussion of the railroad switching area located in the City of Tigard. Mayor Dirksen suggested this might be a good time to talk with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) about this area being used for switching of cars - why can downtown Tigard be used as a switching yard? Councilor Wilson suggested that talks be held with Railroad to advocate finding another alternative. City Engineer Duenas said that one mile of track is needed for this switching operation, which is presently being done between Bonita Road and Tiedeman Street in Tigard. Councilor Harding noted she had received calls about the Walnut Street improvements (a County project). Residents have noted concerns about the type of street lighting to be used for this project. City Engineer Duenas said there are COUNCIL MINUTES -MARCH 15, 2005 page 8 lighting requirements. Councilor Harding reported that the neighbors wanted the lighting to look less industrial. City Engineer Duenas said he would look into this with the County. Councilor Woodruff noted the Skate Park amount as shown on the CIP list should indicate that this total amount is not all City dollars. Councilor Woodruff said he appreciated being supplied with the comments from the public. He was surprised,that more people did not comment. Councilor Wilson asked about fee-in-lieu of undergrounding money (for utility lines). City Engineer Duenas noted that the fees collected have been used for projects and this money could be used in conjunction with Transportation Growth Management (TGM) money. Councilor Wilson pointed out there are a lot of overhead power lines and he would like to see more of these removed. In response to a question about the money shown in the Capital Improvement Project list for the water building, Interim City Manager Prosser noted that this money would be used for the HVAC system, window seals, and reconfiguration of office space. This would be paid for by water funds. Councilor Sherwood noted the need to coordinate with the Senior Center with regard to the Community Development Block Grant for remodeling. 6. CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF A PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT COLLABORATION WITH WASHINGTON COUNTY JURISDICTIONS REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES TO GOAL 14, URBANIZATION AND THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY ADMINISTRATIVE RULES Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed the information contained the City Council meeting packet including a proposed resolution. Also included in the packet was a resolution adopted (October 25, 2004) by the City of Tualatin. Community Development Director Hendryx referred to the City Council 2005 goal to seek changes with Metro. He noted that the City Council wanted to see some ability to free up the Comprehensive Planning process so the City could respond to citizens' concerns and to have more flexibility with density requirements. Interim City Manager Prosser referred to the draft resolution. At a previous City Council meeting there was a proposal that to split the resolution into two separate resolutions. One resolution could address the City of Tualatin's issues and the other could outline the City of Tigard's issues. Interim City Manager Prosser asked if the City Council was interested in pursuing two separate resolutions. There will be a meeting with the City of Tualatin Council on April 4 and this might provide an COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 15, 2005 page 9 opportunity for the City of Tigard City Council to discuss with Tualatin their issues with Metro. Councilor Wilson said he would rather talk about the City of Tigard's issues as he was not sure he totally understood Tualatin's issues. Interim City Manager Prosser reviewed the history of how Metro came into existence as it is now structured including the 1992 Charter ballot measure approved by voters. Councilor Wilson commented that the 1992 Charter measure was billed as a "Home Rule" piece of legislation, but it also established a regional framework which gave power to Metro to "trump" local planning. He said that he felt that Metro ignores the impacts to local communities. Councilor Wilson agreed there are issues that should be addressed on a regional basis but, as much as possible, planning should be a local responsibility to respond, to neighborhood concerns. Councilor Wilson said that the Metro Policy Advisory (MPAC) recommendations are ignored by Metro. He said he did not believe the issues with regard to setting urban growth boundaries were seriously debated. Councilor Wilson suggested a review of Metro could range from elevating the importance of MPAC all the way to whether or not Metro serves any purpose. He said it seems that cities are constantly on the defensive while local planners spend their time reacting to Metro's initiatives. Citizens have no easy way to send feedback to Metro when Metro issues regulations affecting them. Citizens complain to local government, and Councilor Wilson questioned whether Metro had any idea of the level of the public's dissatisfaction. Councilor Wilson summarized that the above issues are examples of what needs to be dealt with; although, at this point, he is not sure to what extent he would support changes to Metro. Councilor Woodruff said he basically agreed with Councilor Wilson, but asked what could the City realistically do? Discussion followed on options including proposing a ballot measure to address concerns about Metro (initiative process). There was a comment that the City of Tigard could not do this alone; however, there may now be an opportunity to join other jurisdictions on Metro issues. MPAC would be a good venue for these types of discussions. City of Tualatin Mayor Ogden has invited others to participate in a regional discussion. Councilor Wilson reiterated that the stature of MPAC should be raised. Mayor Dirksen advised that he recently met with Lake Oswego Councilor Jack Huffman and discussed the possibility of an MPAC-sponsored symposium to review Metro issues. COUNCIL MINUTES -MARCH 15, 2005 page 10 Council consensus was for Mayor Dirksen to pursue the idea of a symposium. Suggestions for invitees to the symposium included the Metro Council, regional mayors, City Council members, and business leaders. Another option would be to approach the State legislature with proposed changes . to Metro. Councilor Wilson said he could support the proposed resolution as a starting point for the City of Tigard. Interim City Manager Prosser suggested that a section be added to the resolution to direct staff to contact other cities to identify issues and develop a common strategy. Consensus of the Council was that Section 1 of the resolution be fleshed out. There was discussion on whether or not to pursue a resolution or focus on working with MPAC or businesses. Community Development Director Hendryx and Planning Manager Shields noted that the City of Tigard is hoping for assistance from Metro with the downtown area. The urbanization, section of the proposed resolution was reviewed. Mayor Dirksen referred to problems with urban growth boundaries whereby properties should have been required to be tied to an urban area before development could occur. Staff will redraft Sections 1 and 2 of the resolution. Section 2 will need to indicate the City's need for more authority with regard to local comprehensive planning and limit Metro's authority on local land use controls. A revised draft resolution will be brought back to the City Council at a later date for its consideration. 7. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS: None 8.

Interim City Manager Prosser advised the Assistant to the City Manager Newton is working on a list of issues. There are three bills regarding limiting government authority on imposing staffing limits. Councilor Wilson noted the need to get staffing costs under control as the current trends are not sustainable. Interim City Manager Prosser will review this matter again with Council on April 12 so the City Council can give staff its final word on matters of concern.

Surveys in both English and Spanish were handed out in the library and an English language survey was also available on the Library website. A total of 2830 surveys were collected, as compared to 1265 in February 2004. Of these, 60 were from the website and 27 were Spanish-language. 49% of patrons answering the survey said they used the library four or more times a month. Patrons were asked "If the library were able to be open more hours, which hours would you prefer." 71 % of respondents chose Sundays as their first choice 19% chose Friday evenings • 9.5% Saturdays evenings C~ Patrons were asked if they found the materials they were looking for when they came to the library. 31 % said Always, 61 % Sometimes, and only .75% answered Never. 76% of total respondents rated Reference desk service excellent or good, while 21.5% said they did not use the Reference desk and couldn't rate the service. That means that of the 2025 respondents who did use the Reference desk, 97.5% rated the service received as excellent or good. 94% of total respondents rated the service at the check-out desk as excellent or good. Of the respondents who said they actually used the check-out desk, 97.5% rated it as excellent or good. 51 % of respondents said they did not use the Children's Room desk, but of the 1204 that did, 97% rated the service provided here as excellent or good also. Question: Favorite Features... examples to be given out at the board Meeting Question: One thing to change... examples to be given out at the Board Meeting Sunday Hours: Gate Count information won't be available until March 14 Comments-given out at the Board Meeting Life-Long Learning-Programs for Adults and Children Picture Collage-Life Long Learning-Programs The new Library is a very busy place as you can see from these photos. 1 r Many people, both children and adults, come through the doors each day to use one of the 60 public access computers we have available. As a response to many requests, we have increased the hours of use for individuals from one to two hours per day. This provides for time to fill in applications online, write a new resume or compose the great American novel! The Youth Services work group has blossomed in their new space, seeing a steady increase in attendance at programs and story hours. Wonderful performers like Magical Strings and the Portland Taiko have entertained the generations from toddlers to grown- ups. Volunteers from the Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter share the calm presence of trained "reading helper" dogs to assist reluctant readers. The literature based program featuring the characters and tricks from the Lemony Snicket books drew over 100 middle-schoolers to the Library. The great author and educator, Dr. Seuss, is honored on his birthday with "Read Across America" day - this year providing stories and cupcake walks with a visit from the Cat in the Hat. Adults benefit from our beautiful new space as well, with program offerings and book displays. Paul Clark from the Tigard Area Historical and Preservation Association provided a talk on Tigard history for interested residents in the welcoming and warm Houghton Reading Room. The new library serves the citizens of Tigard with ❖ welcoming, useful spaces such as the study rooms, Local History Room and Houghton Reading Room; ❖ entertaining and educational programs for children, young adults and adults; ❖ displays of new and interesting books; ❖ computers for information and document preparation; ❖ and books! Wonderful, funny, interesting, challenging books on all subjects for all reading levels.

INFORMATION SUMMARY The last joint meeting with the Skate Park Task Force was held on February 10, 2004. Rich Carlson, Task Force Chair, and other members of the Task Force will attend the March 15, 2005 joint meeting to discuss these and other matters with Council. The Task Force is currently in the process of joining with a local 501(c)(3) in preparation for the Task Force's fund raising campaign. The Task Force has raised, to date, approximately $12,000. They will be seeking cash donations, as well as in-kind contributions of services and materials such as; steel, concrete, earthwork, etc. City staff is working with a local skate park builder who is held in high esteem by the Task Force and many other skate park aficionados to "tweak" the current design so that it will be in a more rectangular configuration which would eliminate fewer parking spaces at City Hall. Further, City staff is talking to a retired contractor about his involvement as an independent contractor/project manager for the skate park fund raising and construction projects. The project manager would: 1) serve as the City's liaison with the Task Force and the contractor, 2) coordinate donations/in-kind services, etc., within the City's procurement process, and 3) provide technical expertise for the construction of the skate park. He would also assist the Task Force by providing technical and practical advice for fund raising efforts. The Task Force has prepared a fund raising packet which they will share with the Council at the March 15, 2005 meeting. Council has authorized staff to prepare and submit a grant application for a State of Oregon Local Government Grant funded by the State lottery. The grant is due on April 15, 2005. We will know by July 2005 whether or not the City received the grant.

Former Tigard Mayor, Jim Griffith, believed in kids and he wanted to provide positive choices for Tigard youth. He created the Mayor's Youth Forum whose members immediately pointed out that the city did not have a place for kids to skateboard, in-line skate, or BMX bike. Mayor Griffith's vision was a place where youngsters, teens or adults could come together to skate or ride BMX bikes - a place that was accessible and was free. Skating and BMX biking are the fastest growing sports in the United States. For many kids, it is their only sport. When the community doesn't provide a place for these activities, young people are forced to skate or bike in public places where property may be damaged or they may be dangerous to pedestrians. . The City and the Skate Park Task Force which was formed from the Mayor's Youth Forum have worked with an architectural firm to lay out a conceptual design. Our kids are excited about the design because it has more "'street" features that any of the over 60 skate parks in other Oregon cities. The City has committed a part of a large parking lot in front of City Hall and the Police Station to be the site. The site will be easily monitored which should ensure that it is drug and alcohol free - safe for all of our kids and their families. The Skate Park will be named after Mayor Jim Griffith at the request of the young people on the Skate Park Task Force. Although it will cost $405,000 to build the park, the city will invest up to $150,000 and will apply for a state grant in the same amount. That means the Task Force will need to raise the balance of the funds through a combination of cash contributions, grants and in-kind donation of materials. Our young people cannot raise these kinds of funds on their own. Please help them with your charitable contribution to the Tigard Skate Park c/o Tigard Tums the Tide, a 503(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.

This campaign is being run through a non-profit organization "Tigard Turns the Tide" whose mission is to empower the youth of Tigard to feel valued by the community, provide opportunities to make a difference in society, and work to prevent drug and alcohol use and abuse among the youth of our community. We are seeking private and public grants from several sources. Young people are involved in various fund raising activities. And we are counting on YOU the local Community! The skate park will be a benefit to the whole community, so we want to reach out to everyone in town -businesses, parents, schools and service organizations We need your help. So please be generous and get on board! The Need 1 .I Oregon Cities Support Skateboard Parks! ~ogar~~ ~aa~~ a AmPOTN Wane o 0 It's about supporting our young people and steering them toward healthy lifestyles. The Tigard community understands the value of providing opportunities for its youth to be active and engaged in healthy "off the couch" activities. Talk to kids about skate parks and they get excited! They voluntarily attend public meetings where they learn about community involvement, civic responsibility, collaboration, public process and ownership. Giving young people an opportunity to become involved in the community builds on their strengths and gives them hope for the future. Our Tigard Skatepark is enabling our youth to develop leadership skills and interact with other young people with the same interests. Tigard (urrently has no place for skating to occur safely and legalli And without a safe, legal shating area - everywhere is a shateparho One of the concerns of the City and local businesses is that skateboarding can cause damage to public and private facilities. When skating in parking lots and on sidewalks, and mixing with vehicle and pedestrian traffic, skaters put themselves and others at risk. By building a safe, legal spot to skate we offer a place for skaters to enjoy their sport and not be in conflict with vehicles, pedestrians and the business community. Skateboarding, in-line skating and 3A~ free-style are three of the most popular re(reational a(tivities for young people ages 8-10. D Innovations in technology, product design and the boom in construction of skate parks have created a sport that is much more than a 'passing fad'. Skateboarding is a sport that has survived and thrived for over 50 years. D International TV coverage and the low cost of equipment have resulted in the creation of one of the most popular individual 'pick-up' sports in the world. D Board Trac, who surveys sporting good purchases, estimated there were 13 million skateboarders nationwide in 2003 an estimated 240% increase in 10 years. D An assessment of Outdoor Recreation in Washington State found that skateboarding is the fourth most frequently performed outdoor activity for all ages; falling just behind walking, jogging, and gardening but ahead of soccer, football, tennis, baseball, swimming and golf. D The Skate Park Assoc. of the USA estimated that there are 1 million BMX bike riders in the nation. D National Sporting Goods Manufacturers Assoc. estimated in 2000 - 29 million in-line skaters.

The ideal site has been identified. The new park will be located near city hall and police station, using a portion of the parking lot that once served the old library. The area is centrally located. It's on a bus line, lighted, and has bathrooms and telephones available at fity Hall. Since the fity owns the site there will be no land acquisition costs. ?HOW did YOU Me Up With the design! The fity hired a professional landscape design consultant to work with the taskforce to complete the conceptual design and provide a cost estimate for construction. Approximately 100 youth and adults helped create the design through three public involvement meetings. The resulting conceptual design includes a mix of features that will appeal to novices and at the same time offer plenty of challenge for experienced riders. The design includes concrete bowls, ridges, a pyramid, and other "street skating" and "free style" elements desired by skateboarders, in-line skaters, and BMX free-style riders. The features can be combined to create many unique "lines" or circuits at various levels. The features have a maximum height of five feet and will be constructed of extra strong concrete with steel edging for durability and safety. Further refinement of the park design will occur as part of a design-build process under design leadership of a professional skate park contractor. ?M6 going 10 PQ for it! Funding will come from both public and private sources. The City of Tigard is providing the land plus up to $150,000, and will apply for a matching State grant, which will effectively double their contribution. A private fund-raising campaign is currently underway to come up with additional funds needed for construction. The taskforce is seeking private and public grants and matching funds from several sources. Young people on the taskforce are actively involved with various fundraising efforts. And finally, we are counting on YOU - the local (ommunity! The skate park will be a benefit to the whole community, so we want to reach out to everyone in town - businesses, parents, schools and service organizations. ?Is this really a good investment, or just a gassing fad, Based on what we are hearing from neighboring cities (Tualatin, Beaverton, Newberg, Hillsboro and Portland) skate parks are indeed a good investment and not just a passing fad. One of the most consistent messages we hear when talking to other cities and municipalities is that, "We wish we had built ours bigger, we wish we had money to build another, and please hurry up and build yours to take the pressure off ours." Built right, this will be a good and lasting investment and an excellent addition to the recreational opportunities available in our community.

Who will maintain the park, The City of Tigard. - Craig Dirksen, Mayor of Tigard font the City's liability insurance go Sky high, No. There will not be an increase in the City's insurance premium. The insurer views skate parks as they do other park features such as playgrounds, sports fields, swimming pools, and basketball courts. However, the skate park must be properly designed and maintained. This is one reason the City hired an experienced consulting firm to plan the skate park. dill DAR bikes be allowed in the skate park! Yes. The BMX bike community is strong in Tigard. They, too, need a safe, legal location to practice their skills. A good number of young people who enjoy BMX riding have been active members of the Tigard Skatepark since its inception. Mat is being done to assure that the park is inviting, sale, secure, and built in a way that is as environmentally sensitive as possible! There will be minimal disruption of natural environment as the site is an existing parking lot. Planned site improvements will make the most of surrounding natural areas with trees planted on the periphery providing shaded areas with picnic tables and benches where spectators can view the action. Trash bins will be placed on site, and the City will maintain the park. Quality construction materials that are least susceptible to the elements will be used in construction. Located next to the police station, and lit at night, this park will be safe and secure 24-1. ?Where can I get more information? 100 '0 0 , ` - Contact Skate Park Taskforce Chairperson Rich Carlson at rich @ teleport.com or (503) 224-0811. ~ \ or visit www.tigardskatepark.com. 0 00" 0 '00 - 0 ~y F 0 .10 O T' p. 0 A AGENDA ITEM # "-I FOR AGENDA OF 3/15/05 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Joint Meetin with Downtown Task Force wn date PREPARED BY: Jim HendW DEPT HEAD OK e,4.KGR OK (°Jr ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Council will be updated on the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan's progress and have the opportunity to discuss the plan with Task Force members. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. INFORMATION SUMMARY For FY 2004-2005, the City received a Transportation and Growth Management Grant (TGM) from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to create the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan. In four months, the Plan will be complete. The Downtown Task Force has worked with the Tigard community and project consultants to develop the Plan, which focuses on the green "heart" of Tigard (Fanno Creek), natural and public spaces, and creating a vibrant urban village. Over the next months, the Task Force will meet with 20 different groups of Tigard citizens (Community Dialogs #2) to get their comments, hold an April 23rd Open House, explore funding options, and finalize the plan. When complete, the Plan will provide a short- and long-term strategy for Downtown improvements, including recommended approaches to funding. Council will review the Plan in July 2005. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED N/A VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY Community Character and Quality of Life/Central Business District Goal #1, Provide opportunities to work proactively with 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.

"t" - V; d~p-d Gxvz~ Tigard City Council & ;t; Downtown Task Force c/o Beth St. Amand at downtown@ci.tigard.or.us 3' and Julia Hajduk at Julia@ci.tigard.or.us Dear Ms. St. Amand and Ms. Hajduk: Kathy and 1 mailed a letter to the Downtown City Council & Downtown Task Force on September 23, 2004. Because we do not know whether the letter was read and our thoughts considered, we wish to resubmit questions and concerns pertaining to the Downtown Improvement Plan: 1. Presently there exists an Ash Avenue and an Ash Drive. We cannot find an Ash Street on any map of Tigard. Are you planning to change the name of a street or are you, in fact, refering to either Ash Avenue or Ash Drive? 2. In 1991, extensive discussions regarding the extension of Ash Avenue took place. Tigard City Council put the idea to rest based upon data gathered at that time. Has the Task Force studied the minutes of those meetings for an historic perspective on today's plans? 3. At a Task Force led meeting held at 13220 S.W. Ash Drive on October 5, 2004, Ash Avenue neighbors were told that there were no plans to extend Ash Avenue into downtown Tigard. At the Developers' Focus Group meeting of March 2, 2005, Mayor Dirksen indicated that the extension of Ash Avenue had been part of the city plan since at least 1999. Exactly when was the Ash Avenue extension idea returned to Tigard's city plan and by whom? 4. Also, at the Developers' Focus Group meeting of March 2, 2005, it was stated that the Ash Avenue (Street) extension is a "critical part" of the Downtown Improvement Plan. How long has the extension been considered critical, why is it critical, and if it is truly critical, why were the Ash Avenue residents in attendance at the October 5, 2004 meeting told it was not in the plan at all? 5. Considering the scope of the Improvement Plan as depicted in the Refined Design Alternative dated March 3, 2005, what specific research data has been gathered concerning the following issues: a. projected traffic flow increase on Ash Avenue b. environmental impact to wetland areas c. traffic speed control on sloping Ash Avenue d. parking on Ash Avenue e. pedestrian safety on Ash Avenue f. bicycle safety on Ash Avenue g. noise level increase in Ash Avenue neighborhood h. neighborhood security with increased transient traffic i. impact on neighborhood property values j. cost to taxpayers to realize your visions k. impact upon existing businesses 6. What is the specific alignment of the planned street extension from Walnut Street at Highway 99, across Fanno Creek, and into downtown Tigard? What private property must be acquired? Are all property owners in agreement to sell? 7. Who, specifically, owns the property on which the downtown improvements are to be built? 8. How, exactly, can a downtown redevelopment plan of this magnitude, that includes visions of anchor businesses like Barnes and Noble, as mentioned at the March 2, 2005 meeting, do anything but generate even more traffic congestion on already crowded Tigard streets and Highway 99?

Duenas CITY MGR OK: ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Presentation to Council of the current FY 2005-06 draft project list for discussion, input, revisions and suggestions for additional projects. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That Council review and discuss the draft project list, provide input on the existing list and on any suggested additional projects, and provide any other direction necessary for staff to finalize the project list for submittal through the City's budget formulation process. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) formulation process for FY 2005-06 began in November 2004 with a CIP overview at the Focus on Tigard program, and will be completed when City Council approves the CIP budget and project list for implementation beginning July 1, 2005. A Citywide meeting was conducted on January 19, 2005 to receive input from the public on the draft list of projects, which was posted on the City's website for over three weeks prior to the meeting. The Planning Commission was given the opportunity for input on February 7, 2005. The next step in the process is to obtain City Council input prior to finalization of the list for submission through the City's formal budget process. The need to ensure that funding is provided for Tigard Downtown Improvement Projects was emphasized at the Planning Commission meeting. At this point, the Downtown Improvement Plan Study has not identified specific projects beyond the need to improve Burnham Street. A project has been added to the FY 2005-06 CIP for implementation of specific projects that would be identified through the study during the next two to three months. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED None VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY The projects in the FY 2005-06 CIP all promote the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow goals in Growth and Growth Management, Transportation and Traffic, Urban and Public Services and Community Character and Quality of Life.

In addition, the traffic volumes would most likely increase as large vacant properties in Tigard Triangle are developed. Increased traffic volumes would make the intersection unsafe and more difficult for orderly movement of traffic. This project installs a traffic signal and constructs necessary improvements to the streets at the intersection to improve the traffic handling capacity of the intersection. Funds have been collected from developers in the amount of $108,636 for improvements to the intersection. The intention at this time is to form a reimbursement district to allocate the project costs among upcoming developments. The amount of $391,364 will be contributed by the City for completion of the improvements, which would be fully or partially reimbursed by the developments as they occur within the proposed district. Bull Mountain/Roshak Road Intersection $100,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund - $100,000 status: Proposed Urban Services description: This project widens Bull Mountain road at Roshak Road to provide safe turning movements for vehicular traffic and to accommodate additional traffic volumes generated by new subdivisions north and northwest of the intersection. Also included in the project is minor drainage work to allow widening of the intersection. Some land acquisition required for the widening has been purchased by a developer. This project is funded by the Urban Services TIF Fund for implementation in FY 2004-05. In addition, a developer is providing $35,000 for a half-street improvement required for the development at the northeast corner of the intersection. Construction is expected to begin in late-spring 2005 and should be completed in mid-summer 2005. Burnham Street - Design & Right-of-Way $300,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $300,000 status: Proposed description: This project is to complete the design of Burnham Street between Main Street and Hall Boulevard. Based on current design standards, the street requires reconstruction and widening to the minimum paved width of 44 feet specified for a collector with bike lanes, sidewalks and landscaped strips on each side of the street. However, the elements proposed for the street may be modified to incorporate the recommendations of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan, which is currently underway. Those recommendations are expected to be provided in the spring of 2005. The project design incorporating those recommendations is expected to begin in late spring 2005 and would continue to FY 2005-06. Commercial Street Sidewalk (Lincoln to Main St) $250,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $250,000 status: Proposed description: This project involves construction of a half-street improvement with sidewalk on the east side of http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 2 of 7 the street. It also widens and realigns the street underneath the 99W over-crossing to provide space for installation of the sidewalk. The total paved width of Commercial Street after improvement would be 28 feet curb-to-curb. The close proximity of existing homes and the bridge piers of the Highway 99W overpass precludes the placement of a planter strip along the street segment. In addition, the amount of right-of-way that can be acquired from Portland & Western Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad is limited due to setback requirements by the companies. A chain link fence will be constructed adjacent to the tracks to prevent pedestrians from crossing the tracks. Completion of the project would provide a safe and convenient pedestrian route to downtown Tigard and the proposed commuter rail station. This project has been approved for CDBG funding in the amount of $91,300. The City provides local matching funds in the amount $158,700 from the Gas Tax Fund. Downtown Improvements $150,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $150,000 status: Proposed description: This project constructs miscellaneous projects recommended by the Downtown Improvement Plan which is scheduled to be finalized by the end of 2005. Projects selected for the construction will be limited to the total cost of $150,000. Durham Road/108th Avenue Intersection Signalization $200,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund $200,000 status: Proposed description: Traffic south of Durham Road attempting to turn left from 108th Avenue onto Durham Road experiences excessive delay. Whenever the gaps in the traffic flow are infrequent, the left-turn movement becomes highly difficult and is often unsafe. The problem will become worse as the residential developments along 108th south of Durham are completed and generate an increase in traffic volumes at this intersection. This project installs a traffic signal on Durham Road at 108th Avenue to provide safe and controlled turning movements at the intersection. Greenburg Road - Design & Right of Way $660,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund $660,000 status: Proposed description: The project was funded in FY 2004-05 through Priorities 2000 & 2002 MTIP funds in the amount of $660,000 with Tigard providing $85,000 in matching funds. The project scope is to improve Greenburg Road from Washington Square Drive to Tiedeman Avenue. However, the bulk of the work will be to widen Greenburg Road between the Highway 217 overcrossing and Tiedeman Avenue to a 5-lane facility. The completed improvements would enhance movement into and out of the Washington Square Regional Center. An engineering consultant has been selected to perform the engineering design and right-of-way acquisition for the project. Additional funding in the amount of $450,000 will be proposed for FY 2005-06 for right-of-way acquisition. This project has been submitted for construction funding of $1,000,000 under the MTIP Priorities 2006-09 project selection process and for $2,100,000 under the County's MSTIP 2007-12 Transportation Capital Program. Greenburg Road/Highway 99W Intersection - Feasibility Study $40,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $40,000 status: Proposed description: Greenburg Road is a north-south Arterial providing direct access to Highway 217 & the Washington Square Regional Center to the north and Highway 99W to the south. Greenburg Road terminates at the highway as it becomes Main Street, a storefront street through downtown Tigard. The current level of service on Greenburg Road at Highway 99W is extremely poor http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 3 of 7 especially in the PM peak hours when vehicles waiting through multiple traffic cycles to clear the intersection. In addition, forecasts for Highway 99W shows it is well over capacity in future demand, which makes the intersection nearly un-mitigatable due to heavy through traffic and conflicts with turning vehicles. The Tigard Transportation System Plan adopted by the City in 2002 identifies existing and future transportation conditions along Highway 99W and recommends several approaches to alleviate traffic congestion. One of the approaches is to implement access management which means closing driveways and limiting access to the highway. This proposed project provides funding for a feasibility study, which includes an alternatives analysis, to determine what alternative works best to alleviate congestion at the Greenburg Road and Highway 99W intersection and possibly improve traffic flow on Highway 99W through that area. One option is to widen Greenburg Road at its approach to Highway 99W. Another option is to eliminate the through movement from Greenburg Road to Main Street and divert downtown traffic through either 95th Avenue or 98th Avenue to Commercial Street. The intent of that study is to determine the best alternative, evaluate that alternative in detail, then scope out a project that implements that alternative for design and construction. Hall Blvd/Wall Street Intersection - Phase 2 $500,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund $500,000 status: Proposed description: This project is carried over from FY 2004-05. The project widens Hall Boulevard along the Library and the Fanno Pointe Condominiums frontages and constructs the first 425 feet of Wall Street to provide a common access to Hall Boulevard for the two developments. To ensure that the intersection would be designed and constructed expeditiously, the project was divided into two phases: Phase 1 is the half-street improvement of Hall Boulevard which has been completed. Phase 2 is the realignment of Pinebrook Creek, the installation of a traffic signal and the construction of 425 feet of Wall Street at the intersection with Hall Boulevard. Construction of this phase begins in the spring and scheduled to be completed in late summer 2005. Hall Boulevard (at McDonald St) - Design & Right-of-Way $25,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund $25,000 status: Proposed description: This project was funded in FY 2004-05. The first phase of this project is the design and acquisition of right-of-way for construction of a southbound right-turn lane on Hall Boulevard at McDonald Street. In addition to widening the street, curb and sidewalk are proposed along the new segment of street to improve pedestrian safety. An ODOT permit will be required for the design and construction of the project. A traffic study will be conducted to identify required design elements that need to be incorporated into the project. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled for FY 2006-07. Hall Boulevard @ Fanno Creek Crosswalk Light $65,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $65,000 status: Proposed description: This project was funded in FY 2004-05 and is the installation of a marked mid-block crosswalk on Hall Blvd to provide a safe crossing point for Fanno Creek trail users. A traffic study will need to be conducted for compliance with ODOT's design requirements for a mid-block crossing. Completion of the crosswalk will provide a connection between the existing Fanno Creek trail west of Hall Blvd and a proposed trail beginning from the street to the new library. Hall Boulevard Sidewalk (Spruce St to 800' south) $166,725 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $166,725 status: Proposed description: This project would enhance pedestrian movements along Hall Blvd by installing sidewalks within http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 4 of 7 existing gaps on the west side of the street. The close proximity of existing homes and limited right-of-way on this state route preclude placement of planter strips between the proposed sidewalk and street. This project has been approved for CDBG funding in the amount of $136,725 with local matching funds of $30,000 coming from the Gas Tax Fund. Highway 99W Corridor Improvements Study $125,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $125,000 status: Proposed description: Highway 99W carries over 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic. This highway is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. There are no significant parallel routes to this highway, and the traffic congestion will continue to worsen as traffic increases during the next few years. The intersections of Highway 99W with Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, and McDonald Street are bottlenecks that seriously hamper the smooth flow of traffic. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's collector and arterial system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This traffic adversely impacts the arterial and collector street system in the City. This project provides funding for a study to evaluate various alternatives for improvement of the highway (including development of new parallel routes and connections that can feasibly be made between developments parallel to the highway) between Durham Road and Interstate 5. The intent of the study is to address current traffic deficiencies, present design alternatives and propose strategies that would provide for effective traffic circulation, connectivity and operational improvements to the highway and its corridor. The findings of this study would be used to prepare a package of projects (both large and small) that can be implemented over a period of years as funding sources are identified and designated for these projects. McDonald Street (at Hwy 99W) $180,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund $180,000 status: Proposed description: This project adds capacity and enhances traffic flow at the intersection of McDonald Street and Highway 99W. It re-stripes McDonald Street at the intersection to provide a westbound right-turn lane into the state highway and to lengthen the left-turn stacking capacity on McDonald Street. In addition, the project widens the street immediately east of the right-turn lane to provide a transition between the lane and the existing edge of pavement. Improvements to the storm drainage system and modification of the existing signal at the intersection will also be done to conform to ODOT design requirements. The street cross-section of McDonald Street at the intersection after the improvement will have dedicated left-turn, through, and right-turn lanes at that intersection plus extension of the bike lanes. Sidewalk installation is not included in the project since the primary scope of work is to add a turn lane within the existing paved width of the street. North Dakota Street Pedestrian Bridge Conceptual Study $25,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $25,000 status: Proposed description: The North Dakota Street bridge is too narrow to safely pass pedestrian and vehicular traffic simultaneously. This project provides funding for preparation of a Conceptual study and preliminary design to possibly construct an 8-foot wide by approximately 50-foot long pre- fabricated timber pedestrian bridge adjacent to the existing bridge. Also included in the project is the construction of roadway approaches to connect the new bridge with nearby existing sidewalks. Pavement Major Maintenance Program (PMMP) $635,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Street Maintenance Fee $635,000 status: Proposed (SMF) http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 5 of 7 description: The Pavement Major Maintenance Program is an annual long-term street preventative and corrective maintenance program that the City utilizes to extend pavement life and avoid much more costly reconstruction. The Street Maintenance Fee revenue funds projects in this program. The City has applied a variety of minor and major maintenance techniques that include pothole repair, crack-seal treatment, slurry seal, and hot-mix overlay or inlay. The program also includes assessment of types, severity and extent of pavement distress, traffic volumes and environmental conditions prior to identifying appropriate treatments for the streets. Streets scheduled to be included in the FY2005-06 PMMP program are: - Greenburg Road (North Dakota to Center Street) - Highland Drive (109th Ave to 1000' east) - Marion Street. (124th to 121st Ave) - James Street (124th to 121st Ave) - Alberta Street (end of street to 121st Ave) - 124th Street (Marion to James Street) - Spruce Street (89th Ave to Hall Blvd) - 89th Ave (south of Spruce Street) - Thorn Street (east of 89th Ave) - 66th Avenue (south of Taylors Ferry Rd) - 109th Avenue (north of Naeve Street). The project list is subject to change depending upon actual bids received on the projects. The number of projects implemented will be tailored to the funding available. Those street projects that cannot be accommodated within the projected funding would be moved to a subsequent fiscal year. Pine Street $170,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Storm Sewer Fund $70,000 status: Proposed Gas Tax Fund $50,000 Street Maintenance Fee $50,000 (SMF) description: Pine Street is a narrow roadway located in the northeast quadrant of the City. The street has no shoulders, sidewalks and curbs. The pavement surface has extensive longitudinal and transverse pattern cracking and numerous patches along the travel lanes. It also has an inadequate drainage system and two significant curves that limit visibility and speeds. The main goal of this project is to reconstruct the street to provide proper drainage and improve rideability on the street. Ultimate improvements to the street including correction of the existing curves, installation of sidewalks and construction of the street to the ultimate width, will be performed in the future when funding is available. School Zone Signing $5,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $5,000 status: Proposed description: This project would complete the installation of appropriate signs to conform to the new state law, alert drivers on changes of speeds, and to outline the limits of the school zone at each school within the City. Sidewalk Improvements $75,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $75,000 status: Proposed description: This project constructs sidewalks to improve pedestrian safety and access between bus stops and adjacent residential developments. Landscaped strips are not included in the scope of work as the need for the improvement is to fill in gaps between existing sidewalks within limited right-of- way, or to enhance pedestrian access to transit stops. Sidewalks will be installed on Hall Boulevard at Bonita Road and at various locations in the City. Street Striping Program $20,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $20,000 status: Proposed description: http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 6 of 7 This year's program includes placement of permanent or short-term striping on Shady Lane between Greenburg Road and 95th Avenue, Johnson Street between Highway 99W and Grant Street, North Dakota Street from Tiedeman Avenue to 1,500' west, 68th Avenue between Dartmouth Street and Atlanta Street, 69th Avenue between Hampton Street and Dartmouth Street, Boones Ferry Road from 72nd Avenue to I-5 off-ramp, and on various streets located throughout the City. Traffic Calming Program $8,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $8,000 status: Proposed description: The Traffic Calming Program is an annual program that installs traffic calming measures aimed at slowing vehicle speeds within residential neighborhoods. Speed humps have been favored by the majority of residents and have been installed in many cases because they have proven effective in reducing speeds by 4 to 6 mph. Streets are selected for speed humps using the following criteria: traffic speed, volume, number of accidents, existence of sidewalks, cut-through traffic and neighborhood's participation. This year's program includes installation of speed humps on the following streets: - 2 speed humps on O'Mara Street (between Frewing and McDonald Street) - 2 speed humps on 100th Avenue (between Sattler Road to View Terrace). Other streets may be added to the program depending upon neighborhood interest and the street ranking in the speed hump criteria rating system. In consideration of the comments from TVF&R, the speed humps to be installed in the future would be shaped to accommodate emergency vehicles. Wall Street Local Improvement District $40,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Wall Street LID Fund $40,000 status: Proposed description: This project was proposed in FY 2002-03. $300,000 has been allocated since FY 2002-03 for completion of a Preliminary Engineer's Report for construction of Wall Street between Hall Blvd and Hunziker Street. The amount of $40,000 is included in FY 2005-06 for any expenses incurred in the preparation of environmental permit applications and the railroad crossing application and hearing. Any funding for work beyond the Preliminary Engineer's Report and the hearing will be provided primarily through the Local Improvement District, if it is formed. Walnut Street (135th - 121st Ave) $740,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Traffic Impact Fee Fund - $370,000 status: Proposed Urban Services Gas Tax Fund $20,000 Underground Utility Fund $230,000 Sanitary Sewer Fund $80,000 Street Maintenance Fee $40,000 (SMF) description: This project is the last phase of a three-phase project funded through the Washington County MSTIP 3. The first phase is the improvement and signalization of the Walnut/121st Avenue intersection. The second phase is the construction of the Walnut/Gaarde Street intersection, which was performed by the City as part of the Gaarde Street - Phase 1 project. Improvement to Walnut Street between 135th and 121st Avenue will begin in early-Spring 2005 and is scheduled to be completed by July 2006. The City has been working closely with the County on the design of the project and has agreed to reimburse the County for the cost of incorporating in the project such work as undergrounding existing utilities, upgrading the water system, and extending the sanitary sewer mains as these items are not included in the scope of work for the County's MSTIP-3 project. Also included in the project is the resurfacing and widening of Fern Street between 138th and 135th Avenue to accommodate additional traffic anticipated upon closure of Walnut Lane. The Street Maintenance Fee funds will be used for the pavement overlay on Fern Street. The Gas Tax Fund will be used for the widening of Fern Street to provide a pedestrian http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/ 1 /2005 City of Tigard Page 7 of 7 walkway on one side of the street. Walnut/Ash/Scoffins Street Connection Feasiblity Study $40,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Gas Tax Fund $40,000 status: Proposed description: This project is identified by the Tigard Transportation System Plan as an alternate route to Highway 99W for enhancement of intra-city circulation. The TIF Fund provides funding in FY 2004-05 for a corridor study to determine a feasible alignment for the extension of Walnut Street over Fanno Creek to Ash Avenue then north to connect to Hunziker Street. The connection would allow traffic to proceed on Hunziker Street east to the Tigard Triangle without entering Highway 99W. The long-term plan is to route traffic from Hunziker Street over a proposed future Highway 217 overcrossing to connect to Hampton Street. The corridor study was delayed pending recommendations from the Downtown Improvement Plan Study. If the recommendation from that study is to retain the Walnut Street extension as a collector street to make the connection from Highway 99W through downtown Tigard to Hunziker Street, the corridor study would be initiated in the spring of 2005 with selection of a consultant to perform the work. The funding for the project would be continued into FY 2005-06 to complete the study. The study which was funded in FY 2004-05 has been placed on hold awaiting the developement of a Downtown Improvement Plan that will address improvement concepts for transportation system in downtown Tigard. http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 1 of 2 Report - Project Details by Type created on: CIP Year: FY 2005-06 3/1/2005 4:37:40 PM Parks System Program $3,915,541 Fanno Creek Park Outdoor Exercise Trail $15,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $15,000 status: Proposed description: This project constructs an exercise trail made up of various pre-fabricated exercise stations placed along the trail or in one major grouping area. Runners, walkers and bikers may stop and exercise at the various stations. Fanno Creek Trail (gathering place to Wall Street) $85,400 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $85,400 status: Approved description: This is part of the Fanno Creek Trail System. This segment completes the Fanno Creek Park trail across Fanno Creek Park. Fanno Creek Trail (Hall Boulevard to gathering place) $101,486 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $101,486 status: Approved description: This project constructs a Fanno Creek Trail segment east of Hall Boulevard crossing Fanno Creek to the new Library and Wall Street. A pre-fabricated timber bridge will be installed to cross Fanno Creek. Jack Park Install Picnic Shelter and Irrigation $31,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $31,000 status: Adopted description: This project will continue the park master plan with the addition of a picnic shelter and an irrigation system. The irrigation system will improve the fields for use by soccer teams. Northview Park Install Playground & Soccer Facilities $45,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $45,000 status: Proposed description: This project will continue the Park Master Plan by adding a playground and improving the fields for soccer use at Northview Park. Park and Open Space Acquisition & Development $2,355,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $2,355,000 status: Proposed description: The City is responding to the City Council's goal relating to growth in Tigard. Specifically, the goal addresses the identification and purchase of parks and open spaces. NOTE: The City currently has $1,300,000 of SDC funding to accomplish this goal. However, because the City does not have a significant non-SDC revenue source to match these funds, as required, the City may not be able accomplish this goal during the 05/06 fiscal year. Although we will seek grants to accomplish this goal, a non-SDC revenue source is still necessary. http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/project_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 2 of 2 Park Signs $50,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Parks Capital Fund $50,000 status: Proposed description: This project installs community oriented park signs at pedestrian areas and across streets where appropriate at parks and entries to the City.

This project will create a second connection to serve our 550' elevation zone. This project will also allow us to postpone the construction of one 550' elevation reservoir for an indefinite time, thus postponing the expense of about $4,000,000. 550' Zone Improvements: 10 MG transfer pump station upgrade $200,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water CIP Fund $200,000 status: Proposed description: The existing transfer pump station, located on the 10 MG reservoir site at Bull Mountain Road/125th Avenue, serves both the 550-foot and 713-foot service zones. The Water Distribution System Hydraulic Study identified a need to replace this pump station with one that would provide a higher pumping capacity to both service zones. Construction of this improvement increases pumping capacity from 2,000 gpm to 3,300 gpm for the 713-foot service zone. The pump station will also provide 3,900 gpm to the 550-Foot Zone Reservoir No. 2 listed previously. Along with the piping improvements listed below, the existing pump station at the Canterbury site (Pump Station No. 1) will be abandoned. 550' Zone Improvements: reservoir #2 construction $600,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water CIP Fund $600,000 status: Proposed description: This reservoir is proposed to be located on the Tigard Tualatin School District (TTSD) site for the Alberta Rider Elementary School. Constructing this reservoir will eliminate some of the demand currently supplied by the 713-Foot pressure zone. Supply to the reservoir will be provided through the transfer pump station upgrade and transmission piping projects separately listed. ASR #3 (Production) $1,090,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water CIP Fund $1,090,000 status: Proposed description: The City completed an ASR expansion study which indicated that the City could achieve a total of 5 to 6 MGD from ASR wells placed around the City's aquifer. ASR provides the ability to inject water during the winter months in the aquifer (when water is plentiful), store the water in the aquifer for a few months, and then withdraw that same water in the summer months to help manage higher water demands. The ASR program may include the drilling of a test well first to indicate the suitability of the well for ASR use. If the test well is deemed appropriate for ASR use, a larger well will be drilled for a production well. The production well project would include the design and construction of the well pump, pump house and necessary water line piping to connect the well to the City's water system. ASR #4 (Test) $92,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water,CIP Fund $92,000 status: Proposed http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/ 1 /2005 City of Tigard Page 2 of 5 description: The City completed an ASR expansion study which indicated that the City could achieve a total of 5 to 6 MGD from ASR wells placed around the City's aquifer.

Defective Meter Replacements (1 1/2-Inch & Larger) $40,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water Fund $40,000 status: Proposed description: This has been one of the long-term projects for the Public Works Department. The large meter replacement program is for the systematic testing, repair and/or replacement of all 1 1/2-inch and larger water meters. Meters of this size have developed problems where actual water flows are inaccurately measured; most of the time, the volume of water is under-reported. The result is that water customers could be using more water than they are being assessed. Testing and or replacement of these water meters have proven to make financial sense in that the investment is recouped by the additional revenues received due to accurate meters. Defective Meter Replacements (Smaller Sizes) $15,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water Fund $15,000 status: Proposed description: This has been another one of the long-term projects for the Public Works Department and is similar to the program for 1 1/2-inch meter replacements. But this program is for the smaller meters. Meters of this size have also developed problems where actual water flows are inaccurately measured; most of the time, the volume of water is under-reported. The result is that water customers could be using more water than they are being assessed. Testing and or replacement of these water meters have proven to make financial sense in that the investment is recouped by the additional revenues received due to accurate meters. JWC Raw Water Pipeline Pre-design $82,503 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water CIP Fund $82,503 status: Proposed description: This project will include a pipe connection between the JWC treatment plant and the headwork at Scoggins Dam. At present, water from Hagg Lake makes its way to the treatment plant via an open channel waterway and the Tualatin River. There are two problems with the existing system. First, the JWC treatment plant must submit a request to the Scoggins Dam control authority to release more water into the open channel system as the demand rises. But the treatment plant can only handle a certain volume of water at the intake; any extra water bypasses the plant and continues down the river. Therefore, there is a loss in efficiency. Second, it is estimated that 20% of the water from Scoggins Dam is lost to evaporation prior to reaching the treatment plant. This raw water pipeline will allow the JWC to control how much water is released from the dam into the pipe so that only the flow rate needed by the treatment plant will be released. In addition, http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_projects/project_type_repo... 3/1/2005 City of Tigard Page 3 of 5 the pipeline will eliminate the water loss due to evaporation and will provide more capacity to the JWC system. Menlor Reservoir Recirculation $45,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water Fund $45,000 status: Proposed description: Menlor reservoir is developing a water quality issue in that, at certain times of the year, water does not circulate throught the reservoir thus allowing chlorine residuals to diminish to below state standards. This project will install a small circulatory pump system that will address this problem. Meter Installations $60,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water Fund $60,000 status: Proposed description: This on-going program ties in with the Water Service Installations program. When new water customers, or existing customers who need an additional water service, apply for a new service, Public Works staff install the service line and will set the new meter. Replace Well House #2 (Gaarde Site) $35,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water Fund $35,000 status: Proposed description: The existing well house at Well #2 is approximately 40 years old and needs to be replaced and upgraded for security reasons. Sain Creek Tunnel Study: JWC Joint Project $21,500 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water CIP Fund $21,500 status: Proposed description: The Tualatin Basin Water Supply Feasibility Study (WSFS) outlined a number of projects that could be constructed to increase the water supply capacity for Cities in Washington County. The Sain Creek Tunnel project is on the that could be constructed in conjunction with the proposed Scoggins Dam raise at Henry Hagg Lake. The tunnel would be constructed from the Tualatin River to the mouth of Sain Creek at Hagg Lake, covering a distance of approximately three miles through the coast range. The tunnel would take water from the Tualatin River during the heavy winter rains and divert it to Hagg Lake. It is estimated that the tunnel will help fill Hagg Lake if the dam were raised, and would effectively increase the watershed by approximately two-thirds. This will help to reduce the number of years that the lake may not fill, thereby increasing the reliability of this source. Scoggins Dam/Tualatin Water Supply $389,490 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water CIP Fund $389,490 status: Proposed description: Secure 550' Reservoir #1 Site $400,000 cip year: FY 2005-06 Water SDC Fund $400,000 status: Proposed description: This reservoir is shown in the City's Water System Master Plan and will be located on the north side of Bull Mountain.

The security upgrades will include improvements to such things as access, fencing, intrusion alarms, and monitoring. http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/city_hall/departments/engineering/cip_proj ects/proj ect_type_repo... 3/1/2005 CITY OF TIGARD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Responses to Public Input on FY 2005-06 Capital Improvement Program March 1, 2005 Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 1 of 9 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) formulation process for Fiscal Year 2005-06 began with an overview of the process presented by the City Engineer on the Focus on Tigard on November 4, 2004. The draft list of potential CIP projects for the fiscal year was posted on the City's webpage on December 28, 2004 and was presented to citizens in a Citywide meeting on January 19, 2005. Prior to the meeting, the program informational flyer was inserted in 5,400 copies of the Tigard Times newspaper on January 13, 2005. In addition, the CIP formulation process was also posted on City of Tigard Events Calendar, Cityscape and bulletin boards in City Hall. A Press Release was also submitted to the Tigard Times on January 7, 2005 for publishing of CIP event schedules and contact information. Citizens have been notified through the City's webpage that they can continue to submit their input for the FY 2005-06 CIP through February 28, 2005. They have also been informed that the proposed CIP list will be discussed with City Council at the March 15, 2005 workshop meeting and that comments received after the deadline will not be in the Council packet. However, projects submitted after the deadline will be considered on a case-by-case basis up till the time the CIP budget is submitted for consideration in the City's formal budget formulation process. Four responses were received by the Engineering Department via postal system and telephone. Five people registered their names on the sign-in sheet for the Citywide meeting on January 19, 2005. Of the five people, two submitted comments in writing while others discussed their comments with staff at the meeting. Of the nine responses, two contain comments that request the City to install a mid-block crosswalk on North Dakota Street at the Fanno Creek Pathway. This project has been included in the FY 2004-05 CIP and is scheduled for construction in early-spring 2005. Other comments provide input on the draft CIP list and nominate projects for consideration. General comments show interest in land acquisition to protect natural resources, expand the City's park system or preserve open space at various locations in the City. In addition to those comments received by the City since the beginning of the CIP formulation process, citizens have also nominated projects for consideration during the past year. Staff has responded directly to citizens at the time each individual request was received and has included those projects in this summary. Included in the summary are the press release, the CIP program informational flyer, as well as letters and e-mails from citizens requesting or opposing improvements. The following is the summary of public comments and staff's responses to those comments, including requests that were submitted prior to the beginning of the CIP formulation process. 1. North Dakota Street Pedestrian Bridge A designated pedestrian and bicycle access across the North Dakota bridge at Fanno Creek was requested by two citizens who indicated North Dakota Street at this location presents a dangerous situation for pedestrians and bicyclists when crossing the bridge. It was also mentioned that a bridge on Tigard Street at the Fanno Creek Trail could serve as an example for the proposed project. Staff Response - The existing 18-foot wide North Dakota bridge that spans approximately 50 ft across Fanno Creek is not wide enough to provide a sidewalk or bike lane on the bridge. Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 2 of 9 There are certain physical constraints on both sides of the existing bridge. It may not be feasible to construct a free-standing pedestrian bridge at that location. A Feasibility Study and accompanying Preliminary Design will be included in the proposed FY 2005-06 CIP. If the project is determined to be feasible, it will be a candidate for construction in the following fiscal year. 2. North Dakota Street Pedestrian Crosswalk The comment suggested installation of a mid-block crosswalk connecting the two pathways north and south of North Dakota Street. Staff Response - This project is included in the FY 2004-05 CIP. A marked mid-block crosswalk will be installed in the spring of 2005. Also included in the project are improvements on the north side of the roadway to connect the two paths and provide a paved walking surface for pedestrians. 3. 109th Avenue Improvements The request came from a resident who lives at the corner of 109th Avenue and Naeve Street. The resident while recognizing the existing gravel street been treated with dust abatement by City forces in the last few years, asks the street be improved or repaved. Staff Response - As part of the Major Maintenance Program (PMMP), each year the City selects one or more gravel roads for maintenance using appropriate construction technique for each street. Streets selected for maintenance have to meet certain criteria. For example, Mapleleaf Street between 72„ a and 71St Avenue, which is a short connector, was selected for paving in FY 2004-05 due to its location, traffic volume, speed and surface conditions. 109th Avenue is a gravel road that basically serves two lots and has the lowest traffic volume of all gravel streets remaining in Tigard. Paving the street does not make sense. However, it does present an annual maintenance problem and does need to be addressed. An appropriate treatment can stabilize the surface and reduce the maintenance requirements on that street. It will be included in FY 2005-06 for investigation and implementation of a treatment appropriate for that street. 4. Fanno Creek Trail (Tigard to Tiedeman Avenue) This comment was about a portion of the Fanno Creek trail between Tigard Street to Tiedeman Avenue having standing water after heavy rain events requiring trail users to walk through existing vegetation adjacent to the path. The comment suggested the trail section be replaced with boardwalk to provide better drainage and allow users to have access to the trail in the winter. Staff Response - The Tigard-Tiedeman trail segment is located adjacent to a wetland area. The FY 2004-05 CIP allocates $10,000 for a preliminary study and design to determine what alternative works best to alleviate the standing water issue. The City plans to complete the Fanno Creek trail system between the boundaries of Tigard and Beaverton and Tualatin. Funding for the trail system is through the Parks Capital fund or grants which are generally limited. The City is trying to complete all the trail segments first and then go back to fine tune sections that have developed problems (i.e. wet trail due to heavy rains or high groundwater table). The City has determined that placing an additional three inches of asphaltic concrete to raise the pavement surface of the trail above the water Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 3 of 9 level would be the most cost-effective solution to the problem. This work can be performed this fiscal year using available funds. Additional drain pipes will also be installed to allow water to flow toward the creek. The proposed work is scheduled to be completed by June 2005. 5. Walnut Street/Ash Avenue/Scoffins Street Feasibility Study Two citizens were concerned that the study could lead to a project that would result in increased traffic along the residential portion of Ash Street. Staff Response - The proposed study is expected to establish a feasible corridor for this collector street and will take adverse impacts to the existing neighborhoods into consideration. The process of determining that feasible alignment will include opportunities for the public and the residents in the project vicinity to comment on the proposed project through neighborhood meetings. No construction is currently planned. 6. North Dakota Street Streetlights, Curbs, Sidewalks and Speed Humps The request was for installation of streetlights, curbs and sidewalks, and speed humps on Dakota Street between 95`h and 901h Avenue. Staff Response - Currently, the City doesn't have a program for installing curbs and sidewalks on residential streets in existing subdivisions. City staff will conduct another study in this segment of North Dakota Street to determine if the street would meet all criteria required for installation of speed humps. There are two suitable locations for installing a cobra head-style streetlight. PGE has reviewed the two locations and indicated that the existing power pole at 9155 North Dakota Street is the best location for a streetlight to be installed on for around $450. The City does have a Streetlight Fund, which provides minimal funding for new lights. These available funds should be reserved for installation of streetlights at critical locations on arterial and collector streets. This section of North Dakota Street has been designated as a neighborhood route and would be lower in priority for streetlight installation. There is a process for residents of a neighborhood to pay for installation of streetlights and for the City to assume responsibility for the energy and maintenance charges after completion of installation. This may be an option for this and other neighborhoods in the City. The above response was discussed in a telephone conversation with the resident who submitted the request. 7. Interpretive Signage at Summerlake Park This project was proposed by the Biodiversity Group of Tigard who indicated the group had been working with a former parks director to develop interpretive signage at the park. Signs recommended include informational (i.e. bird species) and warning (i.e. alert park visitors that feeding would be potentially harmful to park animals). Staff Response - Signage is already being addressed by the City's Park Division. Parks staff is currently working with a Boy Scout organization to name the various plants in the Rhododendron garden. The division has also installed signage directing the public not to feed the geese/wildlife and to direct the public as to where they can and cannot fish. Some interpretive signage has been installed at various parks (Fanno Creek Park, Cook Park, Bonita Park and Summerlake Park). Interpretive signage is a continuing project for the Parks Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 4 of 9 division. The division has spent up to $5,000 this year in materials and labor installing interpretive signs. Citizens who want to volunteer their help in the installation of interpretive signage can contact the division. 8. Land Acquisition The comment was regarding provision of CIP funds for acquisition of parcels that would complement the parks system in Tigard as well as protect natural resources including large old trees and wildlife. The comment also included an "option to purchase" idea allowing the City to accumulate funding for full purchase of the land in the future. The following four parcels were recommended for acquisition: - Black Bull Development: 8-acre parcel along Fanno Creek north of North Dakota Street. - Stonechase Development: 4.5 acre parcel on North Dakota Street at 112`h Avenue. - Ash Creek and adjoining Gates properties: 9-acre parcel and adjoining parcel by 74`' Avenue and Ventura Street. - Fanno Creek east of the library site. Staff Response - The Parks System Development Charge (SDC) Fund is available for land acquisition and park development projects directly associated with growth. The funds cannot be used for any other purposes. For example, if the City wanted to add playground equipment, or purchase properties adjacent to an existing park not associated with growth, SDC funds could not be used. Another example, let's say the City wanted to buy park land for active use and/or passive parks such as greenways, wetlands, etc., and the purchases were not in response to growth, SDC funds could not be used. If park land and/or greenways, wetlands, etc. were purchased in an area where growth was occurring, e.g. Bull Mountain, up to 100% of the land acquisition cost could be SDC eligible. Purchase of the four recommended parcels is highly unlikely because the properties are being developed. Development status is summarized as follows: - Black Bull Development: Subdivision application was submitted previously which was incomplete. The development just had a pre-application conference for a different project. - Stonechase Development: Subdivision approved, under appeal. - Ash Creek and adjoining Gates property: The Ash Creek Subdivision was remanded from LUBA and is going to Council next week for review. Subdivision of the Gates property is in review. - Fanno Creek east of the new library site: This property belongs to Mr. Fred Fields. The City, at the present time, does not have the funds to purchase this property even if it were available. The School District also owns property east of creek and north of the Fields property. 9. Skate Park Location A person was concerned that the Skate Park, which is designated for construction in the City Hall's parking lot, would be an unsightly complex. Staff Response - The parking lot location was deemed appropriate by the Skate Park Task Force and Council because of its visibility from the street, nearness to the police station, and Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 5 of 9 nearness to drinking water fountains and restrooms located in the Police Department entryway. In addition, sitting the Skate Park on land owned by the City should reduce the overall project costs making the project more cost effective and affordable. 10. Spruce Street, 89th Avenue, Thorn Street, 66th Avenue, Upper Boones Ferry Road Paving A comment received by the City in May 2004 requested that Spruce Street (between 89th to Hall Boulevard), 89th Avenue (south of Spruce Street) and Thorn Street (north of Naeve Street) be paved. In June 2004, a different citizen asked for a pavement overlay be applied on 66th Avenue (south of Taylors Ferry Road). In September 2004, the City received a request via telephone to include Upper Booties Ferry Road (between 72"d Avenue and Interstate 5) in the PMMP. Staff Response - Spruce Street, 89th Avenue, Thorn Street and 66th Avenue will be included for paving in the FY 2005-06 PMMP. However, the paving work will only provide a two- lane paved roadway with gravel shoulders as needed to protect the paved surface. Full improvements to the streets are typically done through formation of a local improvement district with the befitted properties paying for the improvements. Due to its current rating, Upper Boones Ferry Road does not qualify for the program in FY 2005-06. However, the street will be monitored periodically by the City for possible inclusion of the street in the maintenance program when required. 11. Highland Drive Overlay In September 2004, a citizen called to request that Highland Drive east of 109th Avenue be re-paved. Staff Response - The existing pavement on Highland Drive from 109th Avenue to 1,000 feet east of the intersection is moderately cracked and shows significant signs of deterioration. The street will be included in the FY 2005-06 PMMP for overlay. This project will be constructed in conjunction with and following completion of a storm drainage project located within the project limits. 12. Pine Street Reconstruction In late-summer 2004, a resident that lived on Pine Street requested that the street be included in the City's Pavement Maintenance Program as soon as possible. Staff Response - The pavement surface on Pine Street east of 69th Avenue has extensive longitudinal and transverse pattern cracking and numerous patches along the travel lanes. The 800-foot deteriorated segment of street that provides access to about 15 residents also has potholes due to frequent traffic movements and insufficient subsurface materials. The street will be proposed in FY 2005-06 for a combination of reconstruction and overlay, where appropriate, on this segment. Ultimate improvements to the street could be performed in the future through formation of a local improvement district. 13.103 d Avenue Sidewalk In April 2004, a community resident called to request a sidewalk along 103rd Avenue between View Terrace and Amanda Court. Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 6 of 9 Staff Response - Currently, 103`d Avenue is a narrow street without curbs and sidewalks. Existing trees and vegetation adjacent to the street obstruct the view of motorists creating a hazardous situation for pedestrians walking along the street. Sidewalks are needed at this location, Hall Boulevard, 72°d Avenue and various other locations in the City. However, funding for such projects is extremely limited. The City has applied for and received funding through the Community Development Block Grant program. This area most likely would not qualify for such funding. The declining gas tax revenue remains as the only other viable source for new sidewalk connections. If the desire is to establish a sidewalk improvement program, projects need to be prioritized and a new funding source (or sources) needs to be established and dedicated to that program. Until that happens, this and other sidewalk improvement projects would have to contend with the limited funds. Because of those reasons, this project is not recommended for inclusion in the FY 2005-06 14. Pine Street Storm Drainage Improvements A property owner contacted the City several times regarding improvements to the undersized storm drain pipes on Pine Street that cause flooding to adjacent properties during heavy rains. Staff Response - The inadequate drainage system on Pine Street will be proposed for upgrading for FY 2005-06. Construction of this project would be combined with the Pine Street Reconstruction project to minimize construction impacts to the neighborhood. 15. 69th, 701h Avenue & Lola Lane Storm Drainage A citizen was concerned about a general lack of drainage facilities in the 68th, 70"' Avenue area and about a drainage problem between houses at the Lola Lane cul-de-sac. Staff Response - Drainage facilities in the 68th, 70th Avenue area have been reviewed and a few improvements have been made by the City. The remaining drainage needs are not suitable CIP projects because they are local improvements and are generally the result of a lack of street improvements, which could be done through formation of a local improvement district with the benefited properties paying for the improvements. To resolve the drainage problem between houses at Lola Lane, the City has built a rock-lined ditch to convey runoff between the houses at the Lola Lane cul-de-sac and the sidewalk so that it continues to the street. The remaining needs for an inlet at the end of the ditch and a connection to the street drainage will be installed by the City's Public Works Department by the spring of this year. 16. CIP Process A recent e-mail from a citizen contained several questions about the CIP process. The questions were regarding what options for making comments on proposed CIP projects, how citizens find out how public comments are going to be addressed, if a hearing is going to be conducted by City Council, etc. Staff has responded to the e-mail. A copy of the e-mail addressing each question is attached to this report. 17. Hall Blvd/Wall Street Intersection - Phase 2 On February 15 & 16, 2005, the City received an e-mail and letter from Fans of Fanno Creek opposing the construction of Wall Street. The e-mail and letter indicated that the Wall Street extension would create a negative impact on natural values in the area and that construction Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 7 of 9 of 425 feet of Wall Street wouldn't be needed as adequate access has already been provided for the library and Fanno Pointe Condominiums. Fans of Fanno Creek were also concerned about the extension of Walnut/Ash/Scoffins Street that would create another crossing of Fanno Creek. Staff Response - The Wall Street extension is identified in the City of Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) dated January 2002. It is shown in the "Proposed Functional Classification System" map as a proposed collector roadway. There are several goals and policies identified in the TSP that support the need for construction of Wall Street between Hall Blvd and Hunziker Street. The City evaluated nine alternative roadway alignments and five alternative bridge lengths for the extension of Wall Street in order to minimize impacts to the Fanno Creek floodway, Pinebrook Creek, associated wetlands and ponds. The proposed location of the Wall Street connection to Hall Blvd which is approximately 360 feet south of O'Mara Street has several advantages over other alignments: a shorter bridge (320 feet) over Fanno Creek will span both the creek and its floodway, minor impacts to wetlands located east of Fanno Creek, elimination of cut-through traffic on O'Mara Street, a neighborhood route serving existing residential developments. Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) access spacing standard for Hall Blvd is 500 feet minimum with a minor deviation limit of 475 feet. Due to the fact that four existing private driveways and a public roadway are located within 475 feet of proposed Wall Street, consolidation of driveways on Hall Blvd is required with the construction of the library and the Fanno Pointe Condominiums. As the rail crossing has not been approved for extension of Wall Street, construction of the first 425 feet of Wall Street to serve as a common access for the library and condominiums meets the access spacing standard required by ODOT. Wetland creation, wetland enhancement, wetland restoration and stream channel construction will be also included in the construction of 425 feet of Wall Street. The extension of Walnut Street from Highway 99W over Fanno Creek to Ash Street then north to intersect with Scoffins/Hunziker Street is one of the improvements identified in the TSP for enhancement of intra-city circulation. Funding has been allocated in FY 2004-05 for completion of a corridor study to determine a feasible alignment for the extension. Staff has requested the funding be carried over into FY 2005-06 to allow time for incorporation of improvement concepts of a Downtown Improvement Plan into the study. 1:\eng\vannie\cip\2005-06\executive summary march 1, 2005.doc Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 8 of 9 ATTACHMENTS Executive Summary - FY 2005-06 CIP March 1, 2005 Page 9 of 9 CITY OF TIGARD PRESS RELEASE 13125 SW Hall Blvd. January 7, 2005 Tigard, Oregon 97223 For Immediate Release Contact: Vannie T.

With input from many citizens, we have developed these projects in order to enhance our community. 1. Marked crosswalks and lights at Fanno Creek trail crossings: Provide marked crosswalks as well as flashing lights at the points where Fanno Creek trail crosses Tigard street and SW North Dakota street. This will improve the safety of the users of the trail and make it more enjoyable. We have talked to many citizens who use this trail about this and it is a high priority. Cost: No estimate at this time, but most likely at least $10-15,000 for each crossing. 2. Replace parts of Fanno Creek trail with boardwalks: There are a number of low, wetland areas on the trail which flood quite often in the winter and spring months, making the. trail un-useable, even after 1 or 2 inches of rain. Replacing the asphalt with a boardwalk would all ow users to have access to the trail in the winter, would allow for better drainage and improve the hydrology in these areas, and prevent users from trampling all the vegetation next to the trail which is what currently happens. Cost: No estimate at this time, but we currently have a project approved from last year for $10,000 which has still not been implemented and needs to be done in 2005. Once this project is completed we will have a good idea of what other trail replacements will cost. 3. Provide interpretive signage at Summer Lake Park: A number of years ago we worked with a former parks director to develop interpretive signage at the park. We would still like to see this completed so visitors would learn what species of birds, etc. use the park and also use it as an educational tool, in particular to ask people not to feed the ducks and geese and explain why this is a bad thing to do. Several good places for signage would be by the bridge crossings in the center of the park where they would be highly visible. Cost: No estimate at this time but possibly in the range of $5-10,000. 3. Land Acquisition: Use some of the CIP funds to begin land acquisition of several parcels that would nicely complement the parks systems in Tigard as well as protect valuable resources including large old growth trees and wildlife. While these funds most likely are not sufficient to purchase the land, they could be enough to fund an option to purchase, allowing .the city to meanwhile work on funding the full cost of the land. • Black Bull - an 8 acre parcel along Fanno Creek off North Dakota Street. bleludes wetland, floodplain and riparian values, as well as high wildlife values including 2 State listed species. Cost: No estimate at this time. • Stonechase - a 4.5 acre parcel on North Dakota, the last upland forest left in this neighborhood. It would make an ideal park, is flat, has large trees on it and many species of birds currently occupy the forest including downy woodpeckers and towhees. We have already spoken to Dan Plaza, the parks director, and he agreed it would be a good site for a park. Cost: No estimate at this time. • Ash Creek and adjoining Gates property - the 9 acre Ash Creek parcel. is the largest remaining predominantly Western red cedar forest left in the entire Metro area. It has some of the highest wildlife and habitat values left in the city and would be an. ideal "nature park", something the residents in this area desperately need for they have NO park in this entire section of Tigard. Cost: No estimate at this time. • Fanno Creek east of the library site. There is a wetland and forest complex east of the creek and library which have extremely high wildlife and habitat values and includes several listed species and rare .plants. Acquisition of this parcel would greatly complement the open space around the library and provide acreage to the park system which is currently deficient in both open space and parks. Cost: No estimate at this time. . Vannie Nguyen - Re: '05-'06 CIP Comments Page-1: From: Vannie Nguyen To: BASIL CHRISTOPHER Date: 1/28/2005 9:55:14 AM Subject: Re: '05-'06 CIP Comments Basil, 1.

The result is a surge of storm drainage down Lola Lane in even moderate rainfall events. On the CAP 45 walk this year, I pointed out where the drainage system is deficient at the upper end of Lola Lane. Yesterday I got a call from Al in Maintenance who told me of the history and their (maintenance) efforts in this area. He acknowledged that what they can do is limited and in response to my query, suggested a CIP nomination to you. This issue came to my special attention recently, when, as a Community Connector for Tigard, I was walking the area and a resident at the low point and downhill side of SW 70th pointed out the sandbags on the front of his lot which prevent water running into his house. This resident told me that the whole system in this area is to be evaluated in the spring of 2005, but Al knew nothing of such evaluation. Please consider this email a CIP nomination and include it on the list of projects for the coming year. I think what is needed is 1) a system evaluation according to modern standards, including evaluation of drainage coming from Portland, 2) modification of drainage ditches and placement of critical drainage in storm drain pipes in the area bounded by 65th, Taylor's Ferry Road, Alfred St and the upper terminus of Lola Lane, and 3) connection of the downstream end of this drainage into the storm sewer already located on Lola Lane, so it doesn't flow down the street. If you would like to visit the area, and have me show you the situation, I would be glad to do so. Of course, one doesn't see the impact except in a rainfall event, but maybe you have long term monitoring systems to document the condition to your satisfaction. The problem arises because of the historical development of the area when the area discussed above was developed, standards said simply to get the water off the lot. When Razberry Addition was built, there was no standard to consider storm water running on to the tract from uphill (the code requires such consideration now). Please confirm to me that this project is of the nature considered by the CIP process and it is placed on the nomination list. I await a suggested time for a tour.

Thank you for suggesting a project in your December 1, 2004, e-mail. Staff is familiar with the lack of drainage facilities in this area having responded to numerous complaints. As you mentioned, Al Dickman of City Maintenance has asked the Engineering Department to evaluate the feasibility of improving drainage between the southern dead-end of SW 69th Avenue and Lola Lane. On Tuesday morning, December 7th, Al and I plan to visit the site; I will let know what we find. As for improving drainage in the remainder of this area, projects could be considered for the Capital Improvement Program, but are unlikely to be assigned a sufficiently high priority to be considered for funding. First, the projects would for the construction of local improvements; improvements primarily intended to serve lots fronting streets in which the storm drain is located. In general, construction of local improvements is the responsibility of the adjacent owners. The City's role is to maintain the facilities once they have been constructed to City standards. Occasionally, the City has installed local improvements where a small project could significantly reduce a hazard or eliminate continuing property damage. For example, following review of the drainage in this area, a culvert was installed at SW Alfred Street and 67th Avenue to prevent flooding of a street and a garage. A few other small drainage projects have also been completed in this area. We believe that no additional drainage projects appropriate for the Capital Improvement Program remain in this area. In addition, the installation of drainage facilities alone can not solve the drainage problems in this area. Other local improvements such as street improvements to collect rainfall runoff and disposal sites to receive the collected runoff are also required. Greg N.

She said she was told this would be done last year and now she does not even see it listed as a project. She has lived in Tigard 61 years and doesn't understand why we give all the improvements to people who haven't even been in the City Limits very long. When is North Dakota going to get some attention??? She is not able to drive at night and will not be able to make your meeting. If fact she may have to quit driving all together and would like the ability to walk to where she could catch a bus. I told her I would pass on here conerns. Thanks, dmj Diane M.

Please take a look at our streets, which are only about two blocks long, and the only streets in Tigard without blacktop. They are Spruce, 89 h, and Thorn. Several years ago we had every assurance that blacktop, with all city amenities, would be provided if we annexed into the city. As you know, I worked hard on that annexation, however we didn't get the street improvements. I wonder if you could review our street and see what it would take to put blacktop on it this year.

Fans of Fanno Creek is a volunteer citizen group dedicated to the protection and restoration of Fanno Creek and its tributaries. We have been working for more than a dozen years in the watershed to protect and enhance the creeks, with several major projects and thousands of volunteer hours over that time. I am writing to comment on the CIP proposal on The Hall Blvd/Wall Street Intersection - Phase 2 at a cost of $500,000. This project appears to be a companion to the proposed crossing of a significant natural area, an important local wetland, Fanno Creek, and an active railroad line, namely, the extension of Wall Street between Hunziker Street and Hall Blvd. Tigard has already spent three hundred thousand dollars on this ill-conceived project, with little to show for it. Indeed, there is another request in the current CIP list for an additional $40,000 to prepare for 3any expenses incurred in the preparation of environmental permit applications and the railroad crossing application and hearing❑ for Wall Street. The natural areas along Fanno Creek will have a greater long-term financial benefit to Tigard if kept intact, both in terms of increased property values and enhanced quality of life for Tigard residents. Fans of Fanno Creek opposes the Wall Street extension and any project which would lead to the same outcome because it would have such a negative impact on important natural values in the area. As the largest stream, Fanno Creek is the backbone of this watershed. Another bridge over Fanno Creek would bring with it additional stress to the native cutthroat trout and other wildlife that call the creek home. It would also result in increased water temperatures and pollution through additional street runoff pouring directly into the creek as well as a variety of other harmful impacts on the surrounding wildlife and habitat. The stated purpose of this 425-foot spur and intersection would be to provide common access to Hall Blvd. for the new library and Fanno Point Condominiums. Both already have adequate access to Hall Blvd and the expense of this dead end road simply does not make fiscal sense. The safety concern that might otherwise call for an additional street driveway for each development has also been addressed since both developments contain internal building sprinkler systems for fire. The construction of The Wall Street extension has met with opposition for a variety of sound reasons and the City of Tigard has many other important projects which could use the additional half million dollars listed for this project. Another project listed on the 2005-06 CIP that leads to the same concern is Vannie Nguyen - Comment on FY 2005-06 Street Capitol Improvement Projects Page 2 the Walnut/Ash/Scoffins Connection Feasibility Study. From the description, it is clear that this project would also include yet another crossing of Fanno Creek. Fans of Fanno Creek will oppose any additional crossings that involve a significant natural area. We encourage the City of Tigard to recognize these natural areas and green spaces as valuable assets to the livability of the city and to make a concerted effort to protect these assets when considering future development.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Council should provide direction to staff regarding additions or revisions to the agreement and the specific issues the resolution should highlight. INFORMATION SUMMARY At its February 22, 2005, meeting, Council reviewed and discussed a draft resolution that (1.) supported region-wide efforts to revise the Goal 14, Urbanization and Urban Growth Boundary, administrative rules, and (2.) supported efforts to build a region-wide consensus in support of limiting Metro's authority to adopt local land use controls. The Tigard resolution was modeled on a recently-adopted City of Tualatin resolution that advocated for limiting Metro's authority to expand the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The March 15th agenda item is a continuation of the February 22 discussion of local control issues. At the February meeting, Council spoke of approaching this issue from a broader and more Tigard-specific standpoint, as opposed to the narrower UGB expansion process referred to in the Tualatin Resolution. The Council goals that would apply are No. 3, Address Growth, wl2ich is defined, among other particulars, as undertaking comprehensive planning for the City and seeking changes to Metro. Staff is seeking direction from Council on how to proceed with drafting a resolution or resolutions that reflects Council consensus on this subject. Briefing materials accompanying in this packet include copies of the draft resolution, minutes from the initial February 22, 2005, Council discussion on this topic, a copy of Tualatin Resolution No. 4301-04, a March 2, 2005 e-mail from Tualatin City Manager Steve Wheeler with draft legislation, and some information on and a draft of Senate Bill 730. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED None considered VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY Goal 1: Growth Management: Growth will be managed to protect the character and livability of established areas, project the natural environment and provide open space throughout the community.

WHEREAS, as an incorporated city in the state of Oregon, the City of Tigard is subject to state land-use planning laws and must have an adopted Comprehensive Plan that results from broad citizen involvement that meets mandatory state standards, which include 19 statewide planning goals; and WHEREAS, as an incorporated city in the Portland metropolitan region, the City of Tigard also is located within the service territory of Metro, which has the primary responsibility for regional land-use and transportation planning; and WHEREAS, in October 2004, the City of Tualatin passed Resolution 4301-04 which voices local concerns in defining Metro's role in balancing regional and local issues, including the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion; and WHEREAS, the City of Tigard recognizes that while regional efforts have focused on establishing and amending the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), critical aspects of implementation have been overlooked, including the process of converting urbanizable land to urban land, the timing of conversion, and the availability of public facilities, services and patterns; and WHEREAS, the City of Tigard feels strongly that implementation must be addressed in a cohesive and comprehensive manner - including annexation - prior to development, or areas will continue to urbanize without adequate services, creating additional costs and administrative burdens to jurisdictions providing services and creating unincorporated urbanized areas which are in direct opposition to Goal 14; and WHEREAS, the City of Tigard recognizes that there have been efforts to clarify Metro's authority under the Metro Charter based on the Oregon planning program principle which emphasizes citizen involvement and direction and local land use controls; any directive by Metro to address local plan and zoning content is inconsistent with state law and prevents the exercise of balanced legislative judgment by a.local council. Resolution No. 05- Page I 1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that: SECTION 1: The City of Tigard supports region-wide collaborative efforts to work on Goal 14 Urbanization and Urban Growth Boundary administrative rules in order to address transition of urban uses and services in unincorporated areas, including annexation before development. SECTION 2: To assure that the Tigard Comprehensive Plan reflects our community's sense of place, the City of Tigard supports region-wide efforts to limit Metro's authority to adopt local land-use controls. SECTION 3: This resolution takes effect immediately. PASSED: This day of , 2005.

DISCUSS A PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT COLLABORATION WITH WASHINGTON COUNTY JURISDICTIONS REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES TO GOAL 14 (URBANIZATION) AND THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY ADMINISTRATIVE RULES, AND TO SUPPORT LOCAL CONTROL OVER THE LAND-USE PROCESS Interim City Manager Prosser advised that staff developed a draft resolution to attempt to address some of the issues discussed by Council previously. Council discussion followed. Mayor Dirksen said that in reviewing the draft resolution he was not sure the issues were addressed. He noted concerns that the wording was not strong enough, but upon consideration he suggested that what might be needed is more than one resolution. The proposed resolution really addresses more the issue of collaborating with Tualatin and other cities. The City might want to consider the proposed resolution or a modification of the resolution at this time and then consider further steps to take in the future which addresses more directly the concerns by the City of Tigard. Councilor Sherwood asked if Senate Bill 730 would address some of the concerns. Mayor Dirksen said the Senate Bill would address issues at a state level, but he didn't think it would conflict with the proposed action before the City Council. Councilor Sherwood suggested the Council consider a resolution supporting Senate Bill 730. Mayor Dirksen thought this might be something to consider in the future. Councilor Wilson said he would be uncomfortable considering any resolution at this time. He noted this was the first opportunity for the Council to discuss Metro at all, other than the*discussion at the previous goal-setting session. He said, "We're not happy. I'd rather discuss things at a policy level ...what are our problems. While I appreciate our relationship with Tualatin ...I think that our issues are slightly different and I'm not sure that they frame the problem entirely as it should be... I would rather just throw it out for discussion... about what our issues are." Mayor Dirksen noted that Tualatin has requested another meeting between their Mayor and other cities to continue this discussion. He said that, "Perhaps, through that process we could further clarify what Tualatin would ask of us..." and then the Tigard Council could consider a resolution in support. Then, the Mayor suggested, in a separate discussion, the Council could discuss the issues pertinent to the City of Tigard. The Mayor said that one of the questions the City of Tualatin is asking is, "Are cities interested in continuing this discussion?" 0 Councilor Sherwood noted one of the biggest issues for Tigard is density. She said she thought the Mayor should continue with the discussion with Tualatin. She questioned whether a resolution would be the appropriate way to show support for Tualatin. Interim City Manager Prosser said staff had understood there might be a timing issue; however, he was hearing from Council that more discussion is needed. He suggested looking at future tentative agendas to schedule a longer discussion at a workshop meeting to discuss and identify policy issues. After that, staff could redraft the resolution for Council consideration. Council agreed with Mr. Prosser to schedule this item for more discussion. Mayor Dirksen will continue to go to the Tualatin meetings. He asked Councilor Harding if she would be available to attend some of the Tualatin meetings, which are usually held during business hours. She confirmed that she would be available. Mayor Dirksen said that one of the outcomes the City of Tigard is looking for is for more flexibility when it comes to redrafting the Comprehensive Plan. Councilor Wilson said, "I think we need more than a change of heart at Metro. We need a Charter change or a new state law... because personalities have come and gone... it's structural. It seems almost really unlikely that much is going to change by the time we get our Comp Plan done ...I'm a little uncomfortable in waiting two months to even discuss in broad terms our frustrations." Mr. Prosser reviewed the tentative agenda with the Council and with some rearrangement of agenda items; this topic was scheduled for further discussion at the March 15, 2005, workshop meeting. I:tadmkeath&=%2005te:cerpt 05 02 22 - metm.d= Attachment 3 RESOLUTION NO. 4301-04 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUALATIN, OREGON DESCRIBING PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY EXPANSION PROCESS WHEREAS Tualatin is a city in the territory of the Metropolitan Services District (known as "Metro"); and WHEREAS cities in the Metro region have their urban boundaries established by Metro; and WHEREAS the Metro Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) is a Metro committee charged with providing a voice and input for Metro cities'on Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion issues; and WHEREAS there has been mounting frustration and concern in Tualatin in particular, and many cities in general that the UGB expansion process does not balance local needs and concerns with regional issues, and that soil classification predominates in Metro led UGB expansion decisions; and WHEREAS the City of Tualatin proposes the following seven 'principles of legislative change be adopted and incorporated in appropriate sections of Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Administrative Rules and Metro drafted rules and guidelines concerning UGB expansion. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUALATIN, OREGON, that: Section 1. Additions to the Urban Growth Boundary should not be determined solely by soils classifications, with exception lands always being the first to be considered for addition. Metro should be allowed to consider other factors, such 'as preexisting development in the area, the wishes of the adjacent cities that would have to serve the area, and other appropriate local concerns. Section 2. The frequency for reviewing whether the land supply is sufficient for development purposes should be changed from 5 years to no more often than every 7- 10 years. Section 3. The Legislature should enact or amend a statute to make it clear that Metro cannot add land to the Urban Growth Boundary of a city without the city agreeing to that addition. Resolution No. 4301-04 - Page 1 of 2 Section 4. The Legislature should enact or amend a statute clarifying that cities retain their zoning authority, separate from a UGB expansion. Metro cannot add land to a city's Urban Growth Boundary and specify the zoning type that the City would have to impose on that land. Section 5. The Metro Council election and representation process should be changed from districts to at-large to ensure a broader-based representation process. Section 6. The Legislature should enact or amend a statute to require lands added to the Urban Growth Boundary by Metro concurrently identify a viable transportation system to support the added land and the existing city transportation system in coordination with a city. Section 7. The Legislature should enact or amend a statute to require lands added to an Urban Growth Boundary by Metro concurrently have allocated funding for transportation infrastructure development in the added land and the existing city transportation system.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon: Section 1. A new section is added to and made a part of ORS chapter 197. (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of state law or regulation, no metropolitan services district with authority to expand an urban growth boundary may add land to the urban growth boundary without the consent of the city that will likely provide governance to that addition nor may it impose specific zoning or general zoning types on specific parcels or areas added without the governing body of that city giving its written consent (2) Before a metropolitan services district may add land to the urban growth boundary, it shall concurrently identify a viable transportation system to support the added land and the existing city transportation system in coordination with the city that will likely be the service provider to that added land. (3) In determining which lands shall be added to the urban growth boundary, a local government or metropolitan services district shall not make its determination on a single factor but shall consider all of the following: (a) The need to accommodate long-range urban population growth; (b) The need to accommodate housing needs in accordance with ORS 197.296; (c) The need for employment opportunities; (d) The availability of economically-feasible provision of public facilities and services; (e) The impact on environmental, economic and social concerns; (f) The compatibility of urban uses with nearby forest or farm land; and (g) The need to retain agricultural land and forestland in that area. Section 2. ORS 197.298 is repealed. Attachment 5 ----Reasons-to-Suppor--t SB 730 - - - - - - - - - The Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) recently ruled that a metropolitan district has broad authority under ORS Chap. 268 to prepare, as well as compel the adoption of land use zoning ordinances by cities and counties within the district. This ruling upheld adoption by the Portland Metropolitan Service District ("Metro")'of a Title 4 Ordinance which requires certain cities and counties to adopt and enforce detailed restrictions on mixed uses on industrial lands (relating to building size and floor area, street access, lot sizes and divisions, business type, etc.,) even if those restrictions conflict with their comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances. District ordinances like Title 4 usurp the traditional and longstanding city and county zoning authority and "home rule". SB 730 clarifies that a district's current authority, under ORS Chap. 268, permits it to adopt generalized policies to guide the contents of comprehensive plans and to review and recommend changes to these plans to ensure they comply with the regional functional plans, but does not permit districts to write comprehensive plans or land use regulations for cities and counties or compel them to adopt such particular plans or regulations. SB 730 makes metropolitan districts statutes consistent with its Charter Metro's Charter does not allow it to adopt comprehensive plans or prescribe the content of local zoning laws. SB 730 realigns ORS 268.390 with that original intent. SB 730 maintains the traditional home rule authority of cities and counties. Under Oregon's land use planning statutes and city and county enabling statutes, the authority to enact comprehensive plans and land use zoning regulations has been delegated exclusively to cities and counties'- a system that has worked for decades. SB 730 provides a clarification that this delegation was not intended to be repealed when ORS Chap. 268 was adopted and later amended. SB 730 does not take away a metropolitan district's authority over the compliance and enforcement of local zoning laws with state policy. As important as what SB 730 does, is what it does not do. SB 730 does not take away district's authority to review comprehensive plans and implementing land use regulations to ' assure compliance with state land use policies and regional functional plans. SB 730 provides needed certaintyfor economic development For Hillsboro and other cities and counties that have been successful in recruiting, keeping and nurturing industries and businesses, SB 730 will remove the prospects of businesses having to serve two "zoning masters"; a district and a city or county as a result of the LUBA ruling: If a district's authority extends to directing specific zoning ordinances, the land uses certainty associated city or county zoning ordinances since their inception in Oregon will be lost. This added layer of bureaucracy and land regulation authority will be a deterrent to economic development and business investment in cities and counties that would 6e subject to such a dual zoning regime.

You may recall that virtually the same Bills were introduced in the last legislative session and were defeated at that time. I have attached for your reference a letter I sent to Senator Burdick in May of 2003 expressing my strong concerns at that time. The Bills were introduced in 2003 as Senate Bills 444, 445, and 446. The new version of these old Bills are now known as SB 319, 320 and 321. SB 319: Modifies the criteria used by arbitrators in public collective bargaining. As you know, police officers cannot strike, therefore we use arbitration and final last best offer as the means to resolve impasses. The arbitrator's decision is final upon us. Currently, the arbitrator must use the "interest and welfare of the public" as the primary consideration in evaluating the last best offers of both management and labor. SB 319 eliminates the current priority of public welfare and interest, and simply makes it one of several equal factors. Our concern under the proposed law is that an arbitrator could choose to place employee factors as a higher factor of consideration and ignore the public interest and welfare. My greatest concern here is that the arbitrator can impose his or her personal bias without being directed to consider the impact to the public. SB 320: This law would have the effect of making supervisors members of the union. In this situation, supervisors no longer represent the management, who in turn represent the elected bodies of government. The local effect is that the supervisors can not be held accountable for carrying out management initiatives, because they themselves are union members and would not carry out correction or discipline of their fellow union members. Some years ago, Tigard went to great lengths to remove Sergeants from the bargaining unit. Today all managers are part of the management team and are not committed to representing a labor organization. We worked hard to get to this point, and to lose this accomplishment would be a waste of money, not to mention, make it much harder to effectively supervise what police officers are doing on the street. Close and effective supervision of police officers is the only sure way of avoiding unnecessary lawsuits and liabilities. SB 321: This Bill is the most worrisome of all. It has the effect of modifying the definition of "employment relations" to include certain staffing levels and safety issues to be mandatory subjects of bargaining. In effect, if the union can convince an arbitrator that our current staffing level has "potential impact on the on the on-the-job safety and workload of employees", the city could be forced to staff at what ever level the arbitrator agrees. Since virtually EVERYTHING has the "potential" for having an impact on safety and workload (make and model of patrol cars, color or uniforms, insufficient training, ad nauseum...) we could be compelled by a non-police professional to achieve heights of staffing, training and equipping that would bankrupt the city. Past legislatures have correctly put limits on mandatory bargaining subjects as those things that have a "direct and substantial effect" on employee safety. Clearly police and fire managers care deeply about the safety of their staff, but placing those decisions into bargaining and arbitration processes, erodes the ability of elected officials to manage public resources and their ability to fulfill public expectations for service levels. In a worst case scenario, imagine the union convincing an arbitrator that our staffing level should be twice what it is today. If they prevailed in their position, the City would be compelled to double the police force. I suspect we would have to stop offering all other city services in order to comply with that decision. This bill removes management decision from elected officials and their police managers, and hands it over to an arbitrator's decision. Please feel free to call on me if I can provide any further information on these issues. May 7, 2003 Senator Ginny Burdick CITY OF TIGARD 900 Court Street NE S-317 OREGON Salem, OR 97301 RE: Senate Bills 444, 445, and 446 Dear Senator Burdick: I am writing to you today to offer my strongest opposition to the above referenced Senate Bills. I join the majority of police management officials in Oregon when I express to you our very sincere concerns about the ramifications of these misplaced legislative efforts. Senate Bill 444 has the effect of rolling back most of SB-750 (1995) in the criteria interest arbitrators must use to award either the labor or management last best offer package. It devalues the interest and welfare of the public criteria. Interest and welfare of the public is more than a financial matter and should remain the primary criteria for interest arbitration awards. The bill deletes consideration and weight to other services provided by the government unit criteria. Consideration and weight to other services provided by the government unit should continue to be a re uired criteria for interest arbitration awards. Without this criteria, services by strike-prohibited bargaining units may require more budget resources that would have been used to fund other essential state, city and county services. Further, SB 444 expands the definition of "comparable community" beyond communities of the same or nearest population range by stating "comparable community includes communities of the same or similar population". The population limitation on comparable communities should not be removed. Interest arbitrators are already comparing small city fire department bargaining units to large fire districts because as a part of their service, the fire district provides service to one or more small cities. As a result, small cities are being compared to and forced to pay the wages, fringe benefits, etc. of much larger entities with greater resources. This ultimately results in a dog chasing the tai I circumstance where the small cities get bumped to big-city pay scales, followed by big cities demanding to get paid more because they are bigger agencies, followed by the small cities again demanding to keep pace. The small agency work forces constantly demand to get paid the same as big agencies and the large agency work forces constantly demand to be at the top. There is no end to the upward spiral. In the case of Senate Bill 445, I am completely mystified. The effect of this would be to make virtually everyone in the police department a union member, from the Chief to the volunteer Reserve Officers. What may seem like a simple definition clarification has much more profound ramifications and is an effective tool to remove the traditional separation of 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TDD (503) 684-277 Senator Ginny Burdick May 8, 2003 Page Two management levels. I cannot see any issue which would warrant this bill to begin with, other than to reduce the ranks of management and supervisory personnel. Finally, Senate Bill 446 requires government entities to bargain over staffing levels and safety issues that have a POTENTIAL impact on the on-the-job safety and the workload of employees who are strike-prohibited. This change would erode the ability of elected officials to manage public resources and their ability to fulfill public expectations for service levels. Let us imagine for a moment that the legislature elected to reduce funding to the Oregon State Police because of huge revenue deficits. Now imagine the labor organizations were successful in determining that those reductions might have the POTENTIAL to make the remaining troopers' jobs dangerous. You, the legislature, would be forced to either hire back staff for which you had no budget, or you would have to pay exorbitant overtime costs to the remaining troopers so they can keep this artificial staffing level above that which you have authorized. In the extreme, you might be forced to abandon providing all other state services in order to pay for a service level which has been defined by an arbitrator. This is exactly the situation in which you would be placing our cities. It is, or certainly should be, strictly the purview of the state or local government elected officials to determine the level of service a municipality will deliver. It is not, nor should it ever be, the decision of an arbitrator to decide the service level to a community. The community, through their elected officials, should make that determination. SB 446 not only gives this authority to an arbitrator, it also expands the definition of strike-prohibited employees to force even more public safety employees into this category. During these austere times, it is a constant battle for public safety management professionals to deliver efficient, cost-effective services. I assure you that the members of the Oregon Association of Police Chiefs have no personal benefit from resisting these legislative efforts. We want nothing more than-to deliver excellent municipal services that balance the welfare and desires of our communities with the welfare of the public safety employees who work for us. Please help us to achieve these ideals by actively working to defeat Senate Bills 444, 455, and 456. Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to call on me if I can answer any questions or provide any further information. 0 Sincerely, William M.
