Washington Square. Councilor Wilson said several
businesses in the City of Tigard could also be

Chamber of Commerce and Tigard businesses to
partner on this or take the lead. Mayor Dirksen noted
activities such as this are important, especially as
Tigard tries to draw the attention of developers for
the Downtown.

entryway sign construction.
Now that the Code Amendment has been approved by
the City Council, it is possible to construct an entryway
sign. Public Works Director Koellermeier has been
soliciting landscape architects and noted that Councilor
Wilson has assisted by identifying several firms capable
of working on this type of project. Landscape
architects are extremely busy and Public Works
Director Koellermeier said two had agreed to prepare a
proposal for entryway signs by the end of this week.
Then, specific sites can be identified more definitively
and the City staff can proceed with land acquisition and
begin constructing the signs. In response to Councilor
Woodruff, Public Works Director Koellermeier
estimated that construction of sign(s) could begin
within approximately three months unless there are
issues with right-of-way acquisition. There was
discussion about materials to be used in the sign
construction with Mayor Dirksen noting the need to be
flexible and to keep the costs reasonable. Public Works
Director Koellermeier said $50,000 had been budgeted
for entryway signs this year.
In response to Councilor Harding, Public Works
Director Koellermeier said the logo on the Tigard
Triangle sign is made of plastic and is sealed with a
clear plastic. The new logo was placed on top of the
old logo. Mayor Dirksen suggested more signage into
the Tigard Triangle area be constructed when

Strategy will set activities in motion. Some of the key
projects for the year include developing a program for
land assembly, marketing of the downtown, developing
land use and design guidelines, preparing a Master Plan
for Fanno Creek park and the public, determination of
the feasibility of the Urban Creek Corridor, and refining
the traffic circulation plan for the downtown. At the
same time as work is being done on the above strategic
planning projects, staff will be talking with property
owners to build consensus on the overall strategy for the
downtown.
Chair Dirksen advised that the City Council, acting as the
City Center Development Agency, has previously
reviewed the Strategy and took part in earlier discussions.
This is something the City Center Development Agency
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 3
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
has been reviewing for a considerable amount of time;
tonight the Strategy is before the City Center
Development Agency in its final form for approval.
Director Wilson commented that in every endeavor that
is as complex as this one is, there will be slightly different
visions on how to approach a project such as this. Given
the recent public issues regarding some of the conflicts
experienced, Director Wilson pointed out that the issues
were not with the substance of the program so much as it
was management style. Director Wilson said he thought
this was a good plan and that he hoped it is successful.
Director Woodruff said it was great to see the substantive
issues identified in the Plan. Previously, discussions have
been in generalities; this Plan fleshes out some of the
specific tasks and projects that can be done in the next
one to three years. The Plan gives specificity and
illustrations about what the Downtown could look like if
everything comes to fruition. He urged people to view
the Plan on the City's website.
Councilor Harding concurred with comments already
made. She said that the Community Development staff
did a good job putting the document together. She
encouraged the public to take a look at the Plan on the
website to see how this will take shape. She also referred
to previous public discussions regarding the Plan.
Mayor Dirksen noted the Plan was posted online as part
of the packet information for tonight's meeting. After
adoption, the Plan will be posted on the City's website
where it can be easily found. Assistant City Manager
Newton said a few hard copies would be available for
people who do not have access to the Internet and
suggested they call and request a copy.

1.4 Council Communications & Liaison Reports
Councilor Harding reported that there was a
Washington County Coordinating Committee
Meeting on August 7, 2006. The County is
discussing a Traffic Impact Fee. The City of
Sherwood indicated the County was interested in
possibly having their own Traffic Impact Fee in a
different format. Several computation methods
have been discussed. A gas tax has also been under
consideration. The Corporate Business Alliance
had a fairly successful trip to Washington DC as
had, in the past, County Chair Brian and County
Commissioner Rogers. The WCCC is discussing a
two-day trip to Washington to DC as well as
partnering with local businesses to lobby for
transportation funds. JPACT will be meeting on
Thursday, August 10.
Mayor Dirksen advised that last week he attended
an activity called "Envision Oregon" in downtown
Portland. This workshop was hosted by a large
group of organizations, which included the Oregon
Homebuilders Association and 1000 Friends of
Oregon. The workshop was put on for the benefit
of the Governor's Task Force on Land Use. Mayor
Dirksen noted that Steve Clark from Tigard and
Lake Oswego Mayor Judie Hammerstad serve on
this Task Force. Similar workshops are being
hosted around the State of Oregon during this
summer to gather input for the Task Force to use as
they consider and make recommendations to the
Governor and Legislature on land use, planning,
and potential changes. This was a very "hands on"
workshop whereby a lot of information, attitudes

and views were gathered for use by the Task Force.
1.5 Call to Council and Staff for Non-Agenda Items:
None
2. Citizen - Mark Padgett, 12974 SW Princeton Lane, Tigard, OR Assistant City Manager
Communications 97223, offered congratulations to the Mayor on his Newton advised staff would
"imminent reelection." review the wording with
regard to Planning
Mr. Padgett said he wanted to mention an issue that has Commission membership and
come to the forefront because of what is now occurring report back to City Council
in the unincorporated area. He said that both he and within the next two weeks.
Councilor Wilson are former members of the City
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is
mandated by State law, but the membership and
makeup of the Planning Commission is under the
purview of the City Council. Mr. Padgett noted that
current Planning Commission members can include up
to two people who do not live inside the City of Tigard.
Mr. Padgett said the theory behind this was to have
people who live within the "area of interest" be able to
have some say in how planning is coordinated since
that area would likely come into the City of Tigard;
however, this is probably no longer the case. In
general, this means that there could be people on the
Planning Commission who do not own property within
the City and are not City residents, sitting in on quasi-
judicial hearings, making what is, in effect, law for the
City of Tigard. Mr. Padgett said these land use
decisions go into the Code and include Comprehensive
Plan Amendments, which become part of the City
Code. He said he does not think he is the only one
who now feels uncomfortable with having people from
outside the City who will either be in another City or
remain in an unincorporated area making law for the
citizens of Tigard at a municipal level.
Mr. Padgett suggested the City Council change the
Planning Commission membership policy and limit
membership to property owners and/or residents of
the City of Tigard. He said the Council might want to
"grandfather" in the people who are now serving on
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Padgett said he did not feel "too badly" about city-
owned property possibly ending inside the new City,
because this property will require their City services
without "us" contributing to their tax base. "So, let
them see how it feels for a change."
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 6
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Mayor Dirksen said he thought Mr. Padgett's point
regarding Planning Commission membership was well
taken. Councilor Wilson noted he wrote a letter
recently to Representative Krummel and pointed out
that Tigard has always had members from Bull
Mountain on our Boards and Committees. He said he
agreed with Mr. Padgett that it is inappropriate to have
people from another City serving on our Planning
Commission.
Mr. Padgett noted he was especially concerned because
the Planning Commission makes laws. Councilor
Wilson said there has been a "sea change" in the Urban
Services Agreement and a shift in 20 years of policy and
it is time for us to catch up.
- Gretchen Buchner, 13249 SW 136th Place, Tigard,
Oregon, added to Mr. Padgett's comments that there
are business and property owners within the City of
Tigard who are not residents. She said that it was
common for cities to allow people who own property
who are not residents to serve on the Planning
Commission.
Ms. Buchner raised an issue regarding the Planning
Commission. She noted that on tonight's Consent
Agenda alternate Jeremy Vermilyea will be appointed to
the Planning Commission. Mr. Vermilyea is the last
alternate and it is likely the City will be losing one or
two additional Commissioners by the end of the year.
She recommended City Council direct staff to
immediately begin looking for replacements. She
added that it would be a good idea to name a couple of
alternates so they can "get up to speed" before they are
appointed. Mayor Dirksen said he has already started
talking to the City's Volunteer Coordinator to publish
an advertisement for applicants. Ms. Buchner
suggested that membership be focused more on those
who are "professionals" in the business. She noted the
current public members are great members, but there is
a need for members who have expertise in planning,
legal, or architecture. Mayor Dirksen said he thought
the Charter stipulates some requirements for
membership and that the City Council would follow
those guidelines.
In response to a comment from Councilor Woodruff,
Ms. Buchner said she would like to discuss how to
retain Planning Commission members in a "different
environment."

- David Mielke, 600 Hidden Ridge, Irving, TX 75038,
National Municipal Affairs Manager with Verizon
introduced himself and Mr. Richard Stuart, Associate
General Counsel for Verizon. Mr. Mielke said they
would like to provide public testimony on Agenda Item
5 regarding revisions to the Tigard Municipal Code for
a right-of-way usage fee. After brief discussion with
the Council, Mayor Dirksen advised Mr. Mielke that he
would be given an opportunity to speak to the City
Council. In response to a question from Legal Counsel
Firestone, Mr. Mielke advised he would only like to
speak during Agenda Item No. 5; Agenda Item No. 6
did not propose changes to the Tigard Municipal Code
that were of concern to Verizon.
Councilor Harding asked a follow-up question
regarding Mr. Padgett's comments. She referred to his
statement regarding the Planning Commission
amending Code. Assistant City Manager Newton
confirmed that amendments to the Development Code
are placed before the City Council for final action; the
Planning Commission forwards its recommendations
on such amendments. Councilor Wilson noted the
Commission does make quasi-judicial land use
decisions, which are final unless appealed.

problem, because you would deprive the owner of

Coffee said he would recommend the home be named

as a historic structure and to seek the cooperation of
the owner to preserve it. Mayor Dirksen asked that if
the zoning were to be changed, then this would be
putting a burden on the owner? Community
Development Director Coffee said, "Right, the R-7
zoning is a standard residential zone. We don't have
zones per se for preservation this is probably the
most efficient zone, given the circumstances. But, I
think negotiations with the property owner would get
you to where you want to go." Mayor Dirksen asked if
the property owner were to consent to the historic
overlay that in itself would preserve the property from
development, would it not? Legal Counsel Firestone
said it would not absolutely preclude development, but
it would create a process for any changes. Mayor
Dirksen said he would like to see the historic
designation be pursued with Mrs. Rider's consent.
Legal Counsel Firestone said it is his understanding that
the School District would need to be involved in that
Mrs. Rider retains a life estate. Mayor Dirksen
recommended that a dialogue be begun immediately
after the annexation is processed. Mayor Dirksen
noted that Mrs. Rider is the namesake of the school
property that surrounds her home and she is certainly a
person of importance in the City of Tigard.
Councilor Woodruff said that because annexation
carries with it emotional tones these days, he asked for
clarification from staff that this is a non-controversial
annexation that has been requested by the owner and
does not infringe on any other interests that people
might have on this piece of property. Community
Development Director Coffee said Mrs. Rider
requested that her property remain outside of the City
when the school property was annexed. Circumstances
on the property have required her to request a sewer
connection and that requires annexation. Mrs. Rider
and the School District have consented to the
annexation. Community Development Director Coffee
noted the lack public comment tonight and no negative
comments.

2. Permitting and construction requirements.
Previously, the City had a telecommunications
ordinance that had some permitting and construction
standards within it, and there was also a "work in the
right of way" section that applied more generally with
some inconsistent standards. All requirements are now
being moved into one chapter so it will be clear about
work in the right of way.
Ms. Werner advised that staff has talked with many
utilities on this matter. A draft of the proposed
changes was sent to all of the current franchisees and
other users of the right of way. Comments were
received from Verizon, MCI, NW Natural, and Clean

Water Services. Ms. Werner referred to an e-mail
communication from Bruce Griswold of Clean Water
Services, which is on file in the City Recorder's office.
The Clean Water Services e-mail said:
"It is the understanding of Clean Water Services that
adoption of the revised Franchise Utility Ordinance
now under consideration by the Tigard city Council will
in no way impact the remittances otherwise due from
the City of Tigard to Clean Water Services, under the
current Intergovernmental Agreement between the two
parties. It is the District's further understanding that
the Franchise Fee and Right-of-Way Usage Fee
(specifically sections 15.06.090 and 15.06.100) do not
apply and will not be applied to Clean Water Services."
Ms. Werner said the reason this would not apply to
Clean Water Services is because special districts and
County service districts are not subject to the
franchising or the developer usage fee portion of the
Code. In response to a question from Mayor Dirksen,
Ms. Werner said she was in agreement with the above
statement made by Clean Water Services.
Councilor Woodruff noted the previous discussions on
this matter. He referenced that by applying this to City
water and sewer would allow a way for those funds to
be used for operational purposes and to have more
flexibility. He said it was his recollection that he said he
would be in favor of this if it did not result in a rate
increase to residents. He said he did not see anything
in the proposed ordinance that says anything about not
increasing sewer and water rates. Ms. Werner said it
was her understanding that there will not be a rate
increase immediately; in the future, it is a possibility.
She noted it was her understanding that when this went
through the budget process, no rate increase was
intended to occur immediately. Councilor Wilson
asked if Ms. Werner was saying that ultimately we will
have some substantial infrastructure needs such as new
water sources, etc., which would require the City to
raise rates sooner than we would have without what is,
in effect, a transfer of money to the General Fund.
Councilor Harding said she thinks this is confusing
because what Councilor Wilson is referring to is a right-
of-way fee on the water utility. She said the reason for
the provision is to shift money to the General Fund,
and it would not necessarily be used for water
infrastructure. While she said she was not really in
favor of it, this Council authorized three water rate
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 14
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
increases of 7 percent per year for the next three years.
It does not appear that this will be enough and there
will end up being water revenue bonding to pay for
infrastructure needs. She says the way she looks at this
ordinance is "when people say it frees up money, it
doesn't free up money. What it does is add some fat or
cream that we can move around in the General Fund.
It wouldn't stay in the water fund; it wouldn't stay in
these other funds. And, when we discussed it at this
table before, I was concerned about water and sewer.
And, I was told, `Well, it's going to be revenue neutral,
it's not changing.' So, yes, on this paper that we have
here, it shows it will add a substantial
increase ...$287,000 a year ...it isn't necessarily a rate
increase, but it is a fee on top of the rate, if you will. It
goes to our constituency ...just like the franchise fee..."
Mayor Dirksen observed that the money would transfer
out of the fund, but people's bill would not be raised.
Councilor Woodruff noted that Councilor Wilson's
point was that as water expenses increase, this would
"add to that pot" and at some point, there will have to
be a rate increase. The question is, if we do this, will
the rate increase have to come sooner than it would
without it. Councilor Wilson noted we carry a surplus;
we have a fund balance that is carried over from year to
year in the water and sewer funds because we will
eventually have increases in costs. On the other hand,
our General Fund is in a tighter situation and we have
taken steps to enhance the General Fund revenues
through fees and charges over the years. Eventually
we will have to have a local option levy.
Councilor Harding agreed with Councilor Wilson and
noted that a $287,000 increase will probably not negate
the need for something "like that" and if we keep
adding "all of these small little fees ...I'm told I can't
call a tax, but to me it's a tax, then when it comes time
when we do really need... say... the constituency or
electorate wants to have something for parks more than
what we have through SDC's...what position does that
leave us in? We have to look at the overall big
picture..." Councilor Harding pointed out the property
tax limitations, which affects funding at the state level
and also impacts schools. She referred to densities, lack
of infrastructure in schools, and that new people are
subsidizing old. She said she thought most taxpayers
would be more in favor of bringing parity and fairness
to the tax base than to keep adding a bunch of new
little fees. It is not something that will be solved
"overnight." She said she was not in agreement or a
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 15
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
"big fan" of this process - it's not as good as it could
be. She also noted that Tigard is considering a gas tax.
Mayor Dirksen said he thought there were several
views on where revenue should come from. He noted
the City convened a citizen task force several years ago
to look at potential revenue sources. One of the
questions we asked them first was, "Are we providing
the right services - are we spending money where we
shouldn't or are we spending money where we
should?" The answer we got back was, "Yes, you are
spending the money in the right places." And, when
we asked them about when we do not have enough
revenue for all those services, where should we go to
get more revenue. When we suggested a bond or a
levy, one of the things we heard from citizens was,
"Before you go to that extent, look for other sources of
revenue first and utilize all those sources first."
Councilor Harding questioned whether they meant
fees. Mayor Dirksen said this ordinance would allow
transfer of money from funds to where those dollars
can be used for right-of-way maintenance. Water and
sewer activities have impact on streets and the right-of-
way, but the money is tied up in those funds and is not
usable for that maintenance. By charging our own
utilities the same fee that we charge other utilities, it
frees up that money so that it can be used to mitigate
the impacts from those utilities. Councilor Harding
pointed out that a lot of that will be passed back onto
taxpayers and ratepayers.
Councilor Woodruff asked if it was possible to separate
the city utilities out from the ordinance to be
considered separately and discussed. Mayor Dirksen
and Councilor Wilson noted this has already been
discussed. Ms. Werner said the discussion occurred
during the budget meetings and the proposed
ordinance is the means for implementing what was
decided during the budget process. Legal Counsel
Firestone affirmed for Ms. Werner that the two issues
could be separated. Councilor Woodruff said he was in
favor of doing this as long as it does not have a rate
increase. He said, "I hear you say, `Not immediately,'
but that creates a little concern about what that means.
There is nothing in here at all that says anything about
that." Ms. Werner said she thought that if got to a
point where a rate increase would be required, part of
the discussion about whether to raise rates might be,
"Do we want to amend the Code again to eliminate
this, or reduce this?" She said she could not say there
won't be an rate increases, but if it does et to that
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 16
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
point there certainly is the ability to look at this and
"lower it or eliminate it."
Mayor Dirksen noted that when there are rate increases
for water or sewer, the fundamental reason for those
increases is because we are charged more for the sewer
or water and we are forced to pass that cost through to
our residents. The ability to utilize that money in a way
that we need to use it in the City - that's the issue here.
The issue is not whether or not people are paying more
or less money. Mayor Dirksen said, "Whether you pay
$5 into the water fee or you pay $5 into the General
Fund for street maintenance, it's still $5...paying it in
to one or the other, there's no net difference to our
citizens..." Councilor Wilson noted, "Except in the
sense that by keeping it in the water fund, you are
effectively putting it in the bank in a savings account
and it won't be spent this year." Councilor Harding
said, "You still have to add to it. Because you cannot
skim off what is already set in that water rate and
what's being collected." Mayor Dirksen agreed, at
present we cannot. He said what was stated during the
budget process, "...at this point there would be no
need to increase the rate to cover this fee."
Ms. Werner reiterated she does not want to say, "There
will be no rate increase, because when this went
through in the budget process, part of it was that this
will not lead to a rate increase. If that changes... then
that is something we can all look at and decide, Do we
want to approve a rate increase; is the rate increase
caused by this or is it some other outside force...' This
is, again, a means of implementing the decision that
was made in the budget process."
Councilor Woodruff said he thought there was going to
be a budget note or something in the ordinance that
would highlight the fact that before there would be a
rate increase, we would consider this again to see
whether or not we wanted to continue that five percent
fee. If there is a different Council when this issue
comes up then there should be a re-discussion triggered
about whether or not the five percent fee continues to
be appropriate.
Mayor Dirksen asked if Councilor Woodruff was
recommending that a statement be added to the
ordinance. Councilor Woodruff said he would have no
problem voting for the ordinance if a statement were
added.
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 17
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Councilor Harding said the ordinance gives the Council
the authority to change the fees and do "whatever"
without a vote of the people.
Legal Counsel Firestone said amendment language
could be prepared tonight and added to the ordinance
that is before the Council for consideration. Another
option would be direct staff to prepare draft language
and delay Council consideration.
After additional discussion, draft language was prepared
by the City Attorney and presented to the Council later
in the meeting as it considered the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Dirksen asked Mr. David Mielke, Verizon
National Municipal Affairs Manager to address the
Council (see Citizen Communications). Mr. Mielke said
he was accompanied by Mr. Richard Stuart, Verizon
Assistant General Counsel. He noted Verizon
representatives have reviewed proposed changes to
TMC 15.06 and have several comments. He thanked
Nancy Werner, Gus Duenas and Gary Firestone for
their efforts and professionalism in working with
Verizon in development of the ordinance. He noted
appreciation for all of the assistance staff has provided
in the last two years for their project in the City of
Tigard.
Mr. Mielke said they had several concerns about the
proposed ordinance. The concerns are of a legal,
operational, and practical nature. He asked Council to
postpone any decision on the ordinance to afford City
staff, Verizon, and other utilities additional time to
resolve the concerns. He said they have been working
on resolution of these concerns with staff and have
language to present. Mr. Mielke addressed the
following specific sections of the ordinance:
1. Requiring a right-of-way user that has an expired
franchise fee engaged in renewal negotiations to be
subject to the terms of the ordinance.
2. The franchise application fee.
3. Lease capacity reporting requirements.
4. Audit, notice and fees.
5. Relocation.
6. Removal of facilities due to an expired franchise.
7. Notice for appeals in the curing of ordinance
violations.
Mr. Mielke said under Section 15.06.050 which speaks
of the franchise required, Verizon requests subsection 1
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 18
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
be clarified in the ordinance to apply to any new
entrants that have not previously had a franchise with
the City and to not be applicable to entities that have an
expired franchise, which is actively engaged in
negotiations. Verizon has an expired franchise with the
City and is abiding by the terms and conditions of the
franchise, including payment of fees. Also, Verizon is
engaged in franchise renewal discussions with the staff.
Mr. Mielke said with respect to Section 15.06.190, the
franchise application fee, Verizon is not subject to the
required application fee because Verizon pays a
privilege tax to the City; such application is expressly
not allowed under ORS 221.515, which provides that
the telecommunications carrier shall not be required to
pay fees in addition to the privilege tax. Therefore,
Verizon requests an exemption from the application fee
in accordance with ORS 221.518.
Mr. Mielke referred to the proposed ordinance Section
15.06.160, leased capacity. With respect to this section,
Verizon asks for this section to be deleted as Verizon
cannot provide this information since it would violate
the confidentiality requirements of open contracts. The
requirement is unrelated to the management of the
right of way and is an attempt to manage the business
operations of a telecommunications provider, and the
requirement may also be pre-empted by the Oregon
Public Utilities Commission.
Mr. Mielke spoke to the issue of the duty to provide
information relating to audit fees. Verizon requests
modification of this section to require actual receipt of
notice prior to the time period beginning for
provisioning of records. With respect to audit fees,
under Section 15.06.170 3.: The audits should be
conducted by a disinterested party, not an audit firm
whose compensation is tied to the outcome of the
audit. Requirement of an entity to pay audit fees due to
an alleged underpayment of fees may also bias an audit,
especially if the audit fees are based on a percentage of
the findings. In addition, Verizon believes that any
audit fees exceed the requirement of ORS 221.515 as
previously discussed and, therefore, should not be
applicable to telecommunication carriers. As a
compromise, Verizon offered alternative language
where repeat offenders will not be subject to audit fees
and first-time offenders that are not negligent or
fraudulent will also not be subject to the fees.
Mr. Mielke then addressed 15.06.260, relocation or
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 19
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
removal of facilities. The requirements of this section
are the most problematic to Verizon. Verizon has
provided three alternatives to change this section. One
alternative was based on a recently passed ordinance in
Troutdale. Verizon recognizes its responsibility to
relocate facilities for road grade, paving, repairing or
improving. Verizon also recognizes responsibility to
relocate its facilities for City-owned water and sewer
facilities. However, under state statute and Oregon
Public Utility Rules, Verizon does not relocate its
facilities at its cost for aesthetic purposes or relocation
for non-roadway structures, for relocations that are
necessitated for the benefit of a private party or other
proprietary nature - whether public or private - and for
relocations resulting from the vacation of a right of
way. As drafted, the City could request Verizon to
relocate facilities at its cost, which Verizon has not
previously been required. Verizon would have no
choice but to oppose any such relocations. The
requirement is unfair.
Mr. Mielke said that under section 15.06.280, removal
of abandoned facilities, Verizon and other utilities as
providers of last resort are mandated by the Oregon
Public Utility Commission to continually provide
service whether or not a franchise has expired. Only
the Oregon Public Utility Commission has the
authority to require Verizon to remove their facilities in
instances which would result in discontinuance of
service within the City of Tigard. Any requirements of
this nature by the City to remove facilities and
discontinue service would be pre-empted by the Public
Utility Commission's mandatory service requirements.
Mr. Mielke referred to section 15.06.300, appeals, and
15.06.330, notice and cure. Verizon requests that these
sections be changed by adding "receipt of prior to
notice in order to ensure that a utility has received the
notice prior to the start of any time period.
Alternatively, Verizon has requested the City add a
requirement that these types of notices be sent by
certified mail to ensure receipt.
Mr. Mielke requests that the City Council postpone any
decision on the ordinance until City staff, Verizon, and
other utilities resolve these matters.
Councilor Woodruff asked if all the suggestions
presented by Mr. Mielke been reviewed by staff? Ms.
Werner advised that staff has seen these suggestions
and reviewed them with Mr. Mielke and the City
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 20
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Attorney. Legal Counsel Firestone confirmed these
same issues have been raised and reviewed. Councilor
Woodruff asked if the areas where the attorney thought
there was room for compromise available have already
been incorporated into the proposed ordinance. Ms.
Werner said, "yes."
Councilor Harding asked if staff didn't think it was
appropriate to send certified mail. Ms. Werner said that
this would be a good practice to have; however, she
questioned whether it would be desirable to have it
mandated within the Code. Councilor Harding noted
there was another project on a street near her where it
was a "he said, she said" situation and she does not
think it is unreasonable to include this language
requiring certified mail. This way, there is proof that
they have been given notice.
Mr. Stuart, Assistant General Counsel with Verizon,
addressed the City Council. He said he represents
Verizon throughout the western region and has been
involved in a lot of issues where notices have been sent.
He advised that they are a big organization and receipt
of notice is sometimes a problem in that notices have
been sent to the wrong addresses. In the past ten years
he said he has been involved in two significant disputes
and both centered on whether or not they had received
notice. He said that had not received notice in either
situation. Both matters were litigated and cost the City
and a PUD a lot of money; ultimately Verizon prevailed
in these cases. He said they are good citizens and abide
by the rules. If they receive a notice about an issue,
they will correct it. If they disagree, then they will talk
to "you." When something is mailed and it is not
received - it is a problem. When you mail by certified
mail and get a returned receipt, you know that someone
has received it. If you do not get a receipt back, then
you know there is a problem. For a very small amount
of money, you can make sure that the notice is received
and eliminate problems that will follow if the notice is
not received.
Legal Counsel Firestone said that he and City staff have
been reluctant to start the time period from receipt
because, "We know when we send it, we don't always
know when it's received We've built in some
additional time to the period so that it goes from the
date the notice is sent, taking into account that it might
take up to four days for it to be received." He said in
his view it is problematical to start the period from
receipt. If the Council wanted to required certified
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 21
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
mail, then that is a different issue.
Mayor Dirksen said he agreed with Legal Counsel
Firestone, since there is no way of the City knowing
when the receipt took place. Councilor Harding
suggested there be follow up; for example, if the City
has not heard anything within ten days, then she hoped
that staff would initiate a follow up. She said there are
times when items are not received for some reason.
Councilor Wilson said he thought the request for
certified mail was reasonable. Mayor Dirksen asked
whether certified mail should be part of the ordinance
or should it be a policy. Right-of-Way Administrator
Werner said this a good practice to have with regard to
sending certified mail, but by putting it into the Code
then if something is sent by certified mail and received,
it would then not be "proper notice." Contacts about
any issue might be required to be sent as certified mail.
Councilor Harding said she often sends items certified
mail with a return receipt requested, so she then knows
the item was delivered. Right-of-Way Administrator
Werner said her personal practice is to send a certified
mail notice. Councilor Woodruff noted that Verizon
has a number of other issues Mr. Mielke cited tonight.
He noted City staff has indicted these issues have been
reviewed and there is disagreement. Councilor
Woodruff said he did not think each issue should be
debated. In response to an inquiry from Councilor
Woodruff, Mr. Stuart advised they did not travel to
Tigard from out of state for this issue only; they were in
the area for other business reasons. He said he
appreciated the opportunity to participate in the
discussion on the ordinance before it is considered for
adoption. He said they wanted to make sure that the
City Council knew that Verizon was not in agreement
with the ordinance in its entirety.
Councilor Woodruff said that to some degree the
whole reason for the ordinance is because the City has
not be been able to get a franchise agreement signed
with Verizon. There are many complaints about
contractors who do not do adequate work, which has
led the decision to codify the requirements. Mr. Stuart
responded that they had been involved with the
discussions on this ordinance for quite some time. He
said if there are problems with a contractor, Verizon
wants to know about it. One way to assure they have
been contacted is to send notice in a manner such as
certified mail. Mr. Stuart said they were before the City
Council tonight because the want to improve and
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 22
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
maintain relationships.
Councilor Wilson noted there are two issues. One is
the fiber optics installation, which is disruptive;
however he noted his appreciation to Verizon for
selecting Washington County as one its first areas to
serve. The other issue, and the bigger issue, is the
concept of franchise fees in general and Verizon, more
than any other utility has opposed franchise fees on
principle. He said he is trying to determine whether the
objections that were listed tonight - are they fine-
tuning requirements or are they attempts to be
obstructionist? This is a case where the City is looking
at this ordinance because franchise fees are, next to
property taxes, our largest source of general fund
revenue. There are efforts underway, even at the
national level, to preempt cities' rights to collect
franchise fees thereby necessitating changes such as this
to the municipal code.
Mr. Stuart said they if their presence tonight is being
perceived as being obstructionist, then he apologized.
The purpose for being before the Council is to make a
better, workable franchise. He advised there were no
issues about Verizon paying the fees. He noted similar
concerns expressed about city taxpayers paying for the
fees if water and sewer utilities are charged a fee insofar
as they would pass along these costs to the customer.
Legal Counsel Firestone advised one of the main
purposes of the ordinance was to clearly provide that
the ordinance would apply to an expired franchise
because the status is unclear once a franchise has
expired. Application of the ordinance can be avoided
by an extension of the old franchise agreement. Right-
of-Way Administrator Werner noted that Verizon has
"come to the table" to negotiate its franchise
agreement; however, another telecom company has not
responded to calls or letters.
Legal Counsel Firestone said he disagreed with
Verizon's interpretation that an application fee places a
limit on the percentage of tax on certain types of
income. He said that Verizon has a lot of sources of
income.
Legal Counsel Firestone commented on abandoned
facilities. He said he did not think there was any intent
to require an actively operating franchisee to remove
facilities that are in use or likely to be use in the future.
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 23
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
The removal of abandoned facilities provision was
intended to apply when facilities are actually abandoned
and will no longer be used. It might make a difference
as to the specific location whether or not the City will
require removal and there will be process in place for
application of this section. Right-of-Way
Administrator Werner advised an amendment had been
made to this section in response to comments.
Councilor Wilson asked for clarification in that he said
it would probably be difficult to have a utility remove
abandoned facilities since it is likely that the utility has
gone out of business. He also asked why we would
want to dig up roads to remove the facilities. Legal
Counsel Firestone said it was understanding the City
would have a different attitude - depending on whether
the facilities were above ground or below ground.
Right-of-Way Administrator Werner said there is a
potential circumstance where there is "so much stuff'
in the right of way and there is a need to remove what
is not being used.
Councilor Wilson asked about the requirement to
relocate facilities. He noted there is a process where
developers are charged a fee to underground utilities.
Would this new language give the City the authority to
require existing utilities to be placed underground?
Right-of-Way Administrator Werner advised the
proposed language is the language being used in the
telecom ordinance. She advised that "relocation" is
slightly different than "undergrounding." Relocation is
taking an aerial facility and moving it to another
location where it still is an aerial facility or an
underground facility is moved to a different
underground location. There was discussion on
relocation for aesthetic purposes. Right-of-Way
Administrator Werner said the Code says the utility
must relocate at their expense when it is necessary for
public improvements or when it is otherwise in the
public interest. She said that aesthetics might not be
construed to be in the "public interest." Mr. Firestone
said, "Although that is usually the justification for
undergrounding aesthetics. But my understanding of
Verizon's concerns... `public interest' is not sufficiently
narrow. I think the main concern has to do with when
relocations are required associated with development
and when it is simply a City project. If it is a City
project, my understanding is that Verizon has
absolutely no concerns with the fact that they will have
to relocate facilities. Their concern, as I recall, was
when a development comes in and there's also a City
project and the two kind of happen together - question
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 24
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
whether that's at the request of the developer, in which
case the developer is responsible, or whether it's a City
project, in which case Verizon and other utilities would
be responsible for the cost of relocation. And, the
City's position has traditionally been, if it's a
development project, development pays. But, there is a
certain amount of gray area that the City and Verizon
has not been able to come to full agreement as to how
to express it."
Right-of-Way Administrator Werner said that the Code
does say that if it is a private development, private
development pays and the utility does not have move
anything until a deposit is received for those expenses.
Right-of-Way Administrator Werner reminded the
Council that if a franchise agreement is reached, the
terms can vary from the Code. Therefore, a utility has
the ability to come and negotiate for a different
provision. Ms. Werner confirmed Councilor Wilson's
observation that if the ordinance is adopted, then "they
can still then negotiate different terms." The most
onerous, therefore, would be the Code language.
Legal Counsel Firestone said that any major decision
can be appealed. Mayor Dirksen said it appears from
the way the Code language is written, the City would
have to have a demonstrable need to compel a utility to
move their facilities or it would be subject to challenge.
Mr. Mielke said it would be tough to negotiate
"downward" from the "most onerous" - the Code
provisions.
Councilor Woodruff asked if comments were received
from other utilities and did others have similar
concerns as Verizon. Right-of-Way Administrator
Werner said MCI sent comments that were very similar
to Verizon's comments. Comments were also received
from NW Natural and some of those comments were
incorporated in the language proposed in the
ordinance. Ms. Werner said that she sent revisions of
the language to all utilities that provided comments to
give them a second opportunity to comment. Verizon
was the only utility that "took advantage of that,"
which is why their comments were included in the City
Council's packet information.
Councilor Harding asked how much time the utilities
had to respond. Right-of-Way Administrator Werner
said she didn't remember the exact time. She asked
Verizon if the had enough time to respond.
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 25
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Representatives indicated yes. Legal Counsel Firestone
added that the process has been going on for a long
time.
Councilor Wilson agreed that this has been discussed
for a long time, which is why he feels a little impatient.
He said it might not be a bad thing to "try it out."
Modifications can be made if something is not working.
Councilor Woodruff urged the Verizon representatives
to begin dialogue immediately to develop a mutually
acceptable franchise agreement if the proposed
ordinance is adopted.
Mr. Mielke noted discussions have been started and
then put on hold until after the modifications to be
proposed to the right-of-way ordinance were made by
the City.
Mayor Dirksen advised this matter was now open for
Council consideration. Legal Counsel Firestone
suggested the following wording be inserted at the end
of 15.06.100 2.:
"The right-of-way usage fee percentage for water and
sanitary sewer shall be reconsidered by City Council
prior to any increase in City water or sanitary sewer
rates."
Councilor Wilson said that he would not vote "no" if
the above language was added, but said these rates are
reviewed each year during the budget process. Mayor
Dirksen said he likes the idea of adding this language as
said it would be a similar situation where a fee or tax is
discontinued (sunset clause) or reviewed if it is to be
retained.
Councilor Harding observed fees rarely go away unless
it is something like a bond measure that has been paid
off.
Mayor Dirksen noted his appreciation to the Verizon
representatives for coming in to comment. If the
comments were new and had not been considered
previously and considered by staff and the City
Attorney, then that would be worthy of further
consideration. But, because this is not the case, the
Mayor said he did not see any reason for the process to
be delayed. Councilor Wilson said, It is immensely
valuable to put a face behind the company... thanks for
coming." Councilor Hardin thanked Verizon for

amendment to this section of the Code would improve
coordination of construction and prevent multiple large

street cuts on any street, regardless of age, within 400 feet

The City Engineer would be required to set up some
guidelines for creating standards for restoring the street if
a cut has to be made if an exception is granted. The City
Engineer would also be responsible for setting up a list of
all streets that are subject to the restoration policy.
Staff met with utilities (including Verizon, MCI, NW
Natural, Comcast and PGE) on this proposal and sent
them a draft ordinance. Some of the utility companies'
comments were incorporated into an amended draft. No
comments were received on the amended draft.
Councilor Woodruff noted he appreciated the work done
by staff in response to community concerns. He said he
would support its adoption.
Mayor Dirksen said the proposed ordinance addresses an
issue that has been a "thorn" for some time. He would
support even stronger language, but this is a good place
to start. Once it has been in place for awhile the City
Council might want to revisit to determine if the

restrictive.
Councilor Wilson recalled the discussions about hiring a
right-of-way manager. He told Right-of-Way
Administrator Werner that he thought she has done a
good job and noted his appreciation.
Right-of-Way Administrator Werner advised the
ordinance has a provision for a three-year review;
therefore, after three years, the City Engineer will report
on the implementation experience and whether it has
been effective. Councilor Woodruff asked that this be
monitored closely to determine if stronger wording is
needed.

In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff,
Community Development Director Coffee advised the
vendor was not concerned about a sign.
Mayor Dirksen noted he needed to officially open the
public hearing (continued from June 11, 2006).
Community Development Director Coffee reported
the coffee vendor is interested in having signage within
the Libra lobby, which will be visible from the street

through the window. The vendor did not indicate any
concern about signage near the road; although this
would now be an option.
Mayor Dirksen asked Legal Counsel Firestone a public
hearing process question about declarations or
challenges. Legal Counsel Firestone asked if there have
been any changes since in conflicts or ex parte contacts
since the previous hearing date. No conflicts or ex
parte contacts were reported.
Mayor Dirksen said that when he learned that the new
vendor has no issue with the proposed ordinance he
questioned whether there was a need to do the
ordinance. The Mayor advised, however, there is
another issue and noted that the Senior Center has a
gift shop sign and this would now be in compliance if
the ordinance is adopted.
Community Development Director Coffee said the
perception of the staff for Library and Finance is that
this type of ordinance might be necessary to attract a
vendor for this space. Legal Counsel Firestone said the
provision is not specific as to what the sign says; it
allows an additional sign on behalf of the lessee.
There was no public testimony.
Staff recommended that the City Council adopt the
proposed ordinance.
Mayor Dirksen closed the public hearing.

school; the proposed ordinance would remedy this for
the City of Tigard. The King City City Council passed Mayor Dirksen Yes
this ordinance recently and the Tigard-Tualatin School Councilor Harding Yes
District has adopted the language in the proposed Councilor Wilson Yes
ordinance as district-wide policy. The City of Tualatin Councilor Woodruff Yes
will also be considering this ordinance.
The ordinance would allow police officers to take
youth back to school or, if not back to school, the child
would be returned to his/her parents or legal guardians.
Police Chief Dickinson advised staff reviewed what
other communities are doing to deal with this issue.
Some communities have gone so far as to make an this
an "offense"; however, in the City of Tigard the goal is
to get children back into school or make sure their
parents or guardians were aware of the situation.
Councilor Woodruff said it seems reasonable to
provide a tool to the police officers to help with
truancy. He also noted that this is being responsive to
the District who is partners with the City of Tigard. He
noted his only concern was whether this would become
a large part of the job that officers are doing and
interfering with their ability to perform other law
enforcement work. He suggested that the City Council
receive a report on how this is working in the next
several months regarding how much time is going into
enforcing this ordinance. Police Chief Dickinson said
it would be no problem to report this information to
the City Council and added that the Police Department
currently receives complaints from the neighborhoods
if there are problems. He said enforcing the truancy
ordinance would not be their first priority. This would
be a tool used primarily by School Resource Officers.
Assistant City Manager Newton said it may be that
once it's a policy of the District and the parents and
students understand that this will be enforced,
voluntary compliance may come about.
Councilor Harding inquired about additional staffing
for School Resource Officers. Police Chief Dickinson
confirmed that one School Resource Officer was
added, which was primarily driven by the increase of
referrals received from the state DHS; this is one of the
highest priorities for the School Resource Officers.
Councilor Harding suggested this also be monitored as
to cost and impacts on staff.
Police Chief Dickinson described what is meant b the

Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
term "protective custody" in response to a question
from Councilor Wilson. Some cities would make
violation of the truancy ordinance an offense, which
would technically give a child a criminal history.
Protective custody is a non criminal holding that allows
police officers to take custody of a youth, but not place
them under arrest. This is used in circumstances
including run-aways or if a child is found in a
dangerous situation. If the child is not with a parent in
a dangerous situation, then the child can be placed with
the parent or guardian. In some cases, the child is in a
dangerous situation with the parents and in that case
the child is placed in a children's facility - not jail.
Typically, protective custody is for a very brief time to
place them in a facility where the child can be
reconnected with their parents or to take the child to
the parents. If it is a medical situation, a child could be
taken to a medical facility. Protective custody is a
"safekeeping" arrangement.
Mayor Dirksen advised he was surprised to learn that a
law such as this was not already in place and indicated
he supported the proposed ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 06-14 - AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING THE TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE
TO ADD A NEW CHAPTER - 7.38 - TRUANCY
9. New Funding Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force
Source Members Present: Gretchen Buehner, Chair; and Joe
Recommendations Schweitz Task Force Member
from the
Transportation City Engineer Duenas gave a brief staff report on this
Financing Strategies agenda item. About a year ago, the Transportation
Task Force Financing Strategies Task Force recommended a local
gas tax be implemented to finance projects. The City
Council asked for a project to be identified that would
likely be supported by the community. Since then, the
Hall Boulevard/Highway 99W Project was started by
the County. There is an opportunity at this time to do
the Greenburg Road/Highway 99W/Main Street
intersection, which has been discussed with City
Council. Costs for this project were estimated and
presented to the Transportation Financing Strategies
Task Force. Members of the Task Force were
introduced. A PowerPoint presentation on a proposed
3 cent gas tax was reviewed with the City Council and a
copy is on file in the City Recorder's office.
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force Chair
Buehner advised that the Task Force has been meeting
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 31
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
for approximately two years to look at financing
possibilities for transportation projects given the fact
that gas tax revenues have been relatively flat. The cost
of construction continues to go up. The
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force made a
presentation to the City Council about a year ago
recommending a local gas tax as probably the most
fiscally prudent and logical method of raising a
relatively small amount of money that could be used for
a specific project. Ms. Buchner noted the City Council
asked the Task Force to come up with a project.
Ms. Buchner said the MSTIP project for Hall
Boulevard is being engineered. The Task Force put
together a proposal to add an additional turn lane
coming from Greenburg Road to 99W that would
separate the through and left-turn traffic. In addition
the eastern-bound lane on 99W would be extended
back beyond Main Street to allow easier right turns off
of 99W onto Main Street. A separate left turn and
through lane would be added for traffic coming from
Main Street, turning onto 99W. It looks as if this
project would be relatively cost effective and within the
amount of money that could be raised with a local gas
tax. This is also the project reviewed by DKS and
OTAK and presented to the City Council.
Ms. Buchner said that, as the Task Force had
previously recommended, they were looking at the gas
tax being modeled after the MSTIP process that has
been so successful in the County. The funds from the
gas tax would be used for a specific project. The tax
would sunset in five years unless the City Council
decided to extend it based on another project or series
of projects. The gas tax would not raise sufficient
funds to do a lot of projects. It will be an additional
resource to do one or two very specific projects within
a given time. Ms. Buchner said it would be clear as to
the timing, the project and the amount of money for
the project. In looking at nearby jurisdictions,
Multnomah County has a much higher gas tax;
therefore, the gas in Tigard is generally less expensive.
Ms. Buchner said she did another survey around our
area. A year ago, the variation between the 14 gas
stations in Tigard was approximately 23 cents; it is now
about 32 cents. The amount of the gas tax will not be
that visible. Task Force Member Schweitz noted his
support to go forward.
Councilor Woodruff noted he appreciated the work the
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force has
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 32
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
done. From a recent citywide survey, it is very clear
that traffic is the No. 1 concern that people have - and
99W is the No. 1 problem with traffic. The proposed
projects would have some effect on the concern and
problem identified. Councilor Woodruff said the only
question he had was what have the service station
owners said about this prospect? Ms. Buehner
responded that the Task Force will need to survey the
service station owners. She said she contacted the state
organization for service station owners and they would
prefer that there be no tax. City Engineer Duenas
noted it is difficult to find people who are
"accountable" working at the gas stations; "these are
absentee owners." City Engineer Duenas said efforts
would be made to contact the service station owners.
Mayor Dirksen said that perhaps by bringing the issue
forward, service station owners will come forward.
Ms. Buehner pointed out that gas station owners need
to get their customers into their stations. The more
congestion that there is along 99W, Greenburg, etc.,
the less people there are likely to be to drive down the
streets - they will look for other ways to travel. If the
street is made better, she thought it would be "win-
win" situation both for the driver and the businesses.
She noted the timing issue with the Hall project going
forward and it is possible that costs for the gas tax
project could be reduced if it is done at the same time.
Mr. Schweitz commented that the projects identified
will improve the traffic situation and anticipates that we
will gain citizens' respect as the City works towards
resolving the traffic issues. The Task Force supports
going forward to "get something going."
In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff
about process, Assistant City Manager Newton advised
the next step will be for the Task Force to contact gas
stations and discuss the proposed tax. City Engineer
Duenas said a proposed ordinance will be brought back
to the City Council for a Workshop discussion. He
advised they will likely recommend an aggressive
timeframe and targeting early October for City Council
consideration. Councilor Wilson, who will be leaving
office the end of this year, said that as a member of the
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force, he
would like to be able to vote on this ordinance.
Ms. Buehner also noted we did not want to miss the
opportunity of coordinating the gas tax project with the
County project at Hall/99W.
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 33
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Councilor Wilson said he enthusiastically supports the
gas tax. He said his only concern is whether three cents
is enough. At one time, it was calculated that 30
million gallons of gasoline are sold within the City
annually. City Engineer Duenas noted the estimate was
derived by reviewing what other cities have experienced
and then going mid-range for anticipated revenue.
Mr. Schweitz noted the station owners don't collect the
tax at the station. The tax is collected by the
wholesaler. Everyone using the roads will be helping to
pay for the projects. While he would rather not have
another tax, he thinks people will stand behind it
because everyone has been talking about the traffic
problems for years.
Ms. Buchner reiterated funds would be dedicated to a
particular project. This addresses a City Council goal.
City Engineer Duenas said that rather than wait for the
Highway 99 study to be completed, this obvious project
would complement the whole 99W project and provide
better traffic circulation.
Mayor Dirksen said there is a case where we have Task
Force members who have become educated into the
process, it almost turns into a situation where you have
the "choir preaching to us." This does not necessarily
mean that the "man on the street" will agree with this
but instead will say that it's another opportunity for the
government to put its "hand in my pocket." Mayor
Dirksen said he thought there were many good
arguments that make sense for a gas tax. This type of
tax would spread the burden not just to City of Tigard
residents but also to those who use our streets. If this
were just coming to the City Council as an ordinance
now without any public input, there would be no way
he could support it. But, he was in favor to take it
from this point, gather more information, and go
through a public process. In the end, it might be that
he is not in favor of the ordinance. Mayor Dirksen said
that we need to move forward from this point through
the process to determine if there is support for it. He
recommended as part of the public process to have at
least two public hearings.
Councilor Wilson agreed with Mayor Dirksen and
further suggested that the gas tax proposal and the
project be viewed as one thing: "This is the project and
this is how we are going to a for it."
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 34
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Councilor Harding said there is a need to have all of the
electorate looking at one project. She said we still need
to try to think of what direction Washington County
might be taking as far as a gas tax. It is still on the table
for the County. Councilor Harding gave some
information, based on a scientific survey of County
residents. Most believe that funding should be sought
to cover the anticipated debt between system use and
available funding. She said 46 percent of the
respondents recommended making up some of the
shortfall and 35 percent recommended making up all of
the shortfall. Ten percent of the respondents were
opposed to seeking additional funding for
transportation, but 60 percent believe there is already
too much funding and 40 percent believe allocation of
current funds should be shifted generally transit to
roads or vice versa. Councilor Harding confirmed for
Mayor Dirksen that the "40 and 60 percent" was of the
10 percent referred to above. Several people identified
fees relating to new development as most attractive;
however, she said this isn't likely to happen and added
that new people are paying the "lion's share." People
would consider benefits of a proposed funding package
along with a proposed funding source to determine
whether or not it is attractive. Councilor Harding said
this is exactly what we are talking about. County and
City governments need to coordinate on any efforts on
any funding initiatives, which is important because you
do not want to have two gas tax votes on the ballot.
However, Councilor Harding noted there has been a
generalized consensus among other cities in
Washington County that they would prefer it if
Washington County does not do a gas tax because local
revenues generated would serve cities better than if it
was applied throughout the County. The County is still
working on a formula for distribution among cities.
Councilor Harding said, "...that we need to keep in
mind as we...go forward with anything like this ...we
need to make sure we are coordinating and not...doing
the same thing twice." She again noted the importance
of sending representatives to Washington D.C. to lobby
for transportation needs in this area as well as
continuing to speak up for "our corner of the County."
Mayor Dirksen noted his appreciation for Councilor
Harding's work on the WCCC. He noted Councilor
Harding made a good point about the need, through
this process, to continue to coordinate with the County.
The County has asked us the question, "Are people
more interested in a local tax, or a County tax...we
need to make sure we keep them apprised of what we
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 35
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
are doing here as well." Councilor Harding noted the
need to keep track of the history of that Committee to
maintain good representation of this area of the
County.
Councilor Wilson said another thing to consider is that
Tigard has the burden of a major state highway running
through our community - the Highway 99 strip - and
its legacy, which is the downside. The good side is we
have more gas stations and the most people. It is not
fair for us to bear this burden without also benefiting
from the fact that we have these gas stations. Insulated
communities off of these strips don't have gas stations.
In some ways, it is really only fair for us to go our own
way on this issue.
Councilor Harding said that Mayor Drake wasn't
excited about another MTIP because he felt that
Beaverton was contributing more than they were
getting back.
City Engineer Duenas said that studies have shown that
about 50 percent of the traffic is regional traffic. It will
not be just Tigard residents who will be asked to pay
for the proposed intersection improvements.
Councilor Harding noted that people do not realize
they can take I-5 to the Salem Parkway to the coast.
Ms. Buehner said there is also a need to make sure the
citizens understand this is a project where the City can
coordinate with the County and ODOT and also save
some money by combining efforts on the two projects.
Ms. Buehner advised that the Transportation Financing
Strategies Task Force requests that they go forward
with its plan and recommendations and come back to
the City Council with a draft ordinance in late October.
Mayor Dirksen said he heard general support for the
process in moving forward to see where this leads us.
He said he thought we would be remiss to stop it at this
point and not follow through to see what we will find
at the other end. Mayor Dirksen noted this would take
selling to the public as well as the gas station owners
and the Council will be looking to the citizen
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force
members to be the "front-line soldiers" to get the word
out.
Councilor Woodruff noted the past recommendation
to identify the problem, identify solutions - paying for
it with the users who are "creating the problem." This
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 36

is all a package with a sunset provision.
Mayor Dirksen asked City Council if there was general
support to move forward with the process. No
objections were raised.
Assistant City Manager Newton said a Cityscape page
could be devoted to this matter.

County has asked the City if it would amend the Councilor Wilson Yes
agreements to indicate that should a city be Councilor Woodruff Yes
incorporated within the urban services area, the City
would be agree to amend the document to reflect that
reality.
Community Development Director Coffee advised that
in previous communication with the County, we
indicated we would be willing to do that. He referred
to a letter from Mayor Dirksen, which was transmitted
to the County on July 25, 2006.
Councilor Wilson said it appears that the amendments
have been written so that if Bull Mountain were to
incorporate, this territory would be withdrawn from the
existing agreements; however it doesn't terminate the
agreements. Community Development Director
Coffee affirmed the agreements would not be
terminated. Councilor Wilson said it seems that there
has been a "sea change" in the last six months in the
thinking about the unincorporated areas of the County
in general, which is independent somewhat from a Bull
Mountain incorporation proposal. He said he wondered
if it would make sense sometime near this juncture to
reevaluate the entire agreements. Councilor Wilson
noted the agreements are required, to some degree, by
state law. This seems to be a worthy endeavor
regardless of the outcome of the election to take up this
issue with the County.
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 37
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
Community Development Director Coffee responded
to Councilor Wilson that this could be done. Mr.
Coffee said this could be brought back before the City
Council in the future with an overall assessment of the
agreements. Community Development Director
Coffee said he is not sure whether these agreements
apply to Metzger and an area near King City; Assistant
City Manager Newton said staff will need to review
these agreements.
Community Development Director Coffee clarified
that the proposed amendments before the City Council
tonight were drafted by the County. Mayor Dirksen
noted the amendments address Bull Mountain
specifically.
Mayor Dirksen said he assumes that if the
incorporation measure were to fail, then these
amendments would "disappear." Community
Development Director Coffee said the amendments
would remain; however, they would not be relevant
because they are applicable only if a new city is
established. The City Council would not have to revisit
the amendments for another decision.
Mayor Dirksen said that, "It is perhaps beyond ironic
that we be considering this tonight, when today was the
day that the County made its final decision to place the
incorporation on the ballot in November. And, in
doing so, ignored the City of Tigard's request that city-
owned and controlled property be removed from that
boundary. As was noted earlier, the City's refusal to
address these agreements could, in effect, legally stop
the incorporation effort. The City would also be able
to do so by claiming that the incorporation of the new
City would place a burden upon the City of Tigard. We
could also do so by appealing the boundary decision to
Metro, which would stop the process at the present
point, which would cause the deadline to be missed and
it would not be able to be on the ballot in November.
The City has that power at this point and has had it
throughout the process. On the other hand the...
Council has commented that in general we are in favor
of the incorporation. In the face of this decision with
regard to the boundary, it makes our cooperation more
difficult. But, I think it is in our long-term best
interests, and the best interests of all of the people
involved, that we do not react in that way to cause that
failure and that we move forward on the course that we
reviousl told the County that we would take and that
August 8, 2006 City Council Meeting page 38
Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u
we would agree to the changes in the agreements. It
can sometimes be difficult to stay on the high road,
when you feel like you may be the only one that's there.
But, I think that we need to retain that position
regardless."
Councilor Wilson thanked the Mayor for his statement.
He said that one of his main concerns is the ability to
provide park land in his neighborhood. The County's
decision makes it more difficult for the City of Tigard;
however, he agreed that the City Council should not
stop the process.
Councilor Woodruff said the amendments appear to be
technical, but it is another indication of the City's
efforts to continue to be a good partner with the
County. He added that he was disappointed with the
decision that the County made about the boundary.

It'll be our birthday. But the spotlight won't be
on us. We're shining it on the people, businesses
and communities that have helped us reach that
milestone. Instead of partying at the office, we'll
be hitting the road to celebrate a quarter-century
of business with communities all across the state.
September 2007 may seem a long way off.
But we're starting the planning now so that
everyone has a chance to get involved.

Dear Interviewees,
Over the last several months, RESOLVE, Inc. has interviewed you and other
stakeholders on behalf of the Oregon Consensus Program, regarding the possibility
for collaboration related to governance, annexation, the provision of urban
services, and other related issues and concerns in the unincorporated Bull Mountain
area of Washington County. During the interview process, RESOLVE team members
Turner Odell and Rob Williams indicated that we would share the results of the
interview process with you. For your information we have attached a copy of the
final draft of their assessment report. If you have any concerns or questions
about the draft, or wish to advise us of any corrections that might be needed,
please contact me at the Oregon Consensus Program.
We recognize that stakeholders are currently engaged in a different approach, and
we are not recommending a formal collaborative process at this time. We hope the
report will suggest possible opportunities for collaboration in the future to
resolve a number of the issues facing the area regardless of the outcome of the
current incorporation proposal.
Thank you again for your cooperation in this assessment. We will be happy to
provide any further assistance toward collaborative efforts in the future.
Our program evaluates all of our work, so you may be receiving a request to
complete an evaluation form in the near future. We would appreciate your
cooperation in helping us improve our services, as well.

BULL MOUNTAIN
CONVENING ASSESSMENT
DRAFT ASSESSMENT REPORT
I. Overview and Background
RESOLVE, Inc., is a neutral, private, non-profit group that provides process support to help people
address complex environmental and public policy issues. In late November 2005, the Oregon
Consensus Program (OCP) of the Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University
asked RESOLVE to conduct an independent assessment of issues and concerns related to
governance, annexation, the provision of urban services, and other related issues in the
unincorporated Bull Mountain area of Washington County, adjacent to the City of Tigard. The
OCP is charged by the State legislature to provide neutral services to public bodies and their
constituents to assist them in collaborating on public issues. The OCP initiated this convening
assessment process as the first step toward providing such services to the City, County, and their
constituents as needed.
Prompting the assessment was a continuing set of challenging issues and concerns and a history of
differences between the City of Tigard, the Friends of Bull Mountain (a citizen's group of Bull
Mountain residents) and other related parties. The City attempted to annex the unincorporated Bull
Mountain area in the November 2004 election but failed to win the needed double majority vote.
The Friends of Bull Mountain initially contacted OCP in the spring of 2005 to request assistance in
resolving the ongoing governance and urban services issues. OCP was subsequently in contact with
the City of Tigard and Washington County in an attempt to assemble sufficient funds for a
convening and assessment process. Funds did not become available until late 2005 at which point
RESOLVE's involvement was initiated.
The goal of the assessment process was (1) to identify issues and concerns, (2) to assess the potential
for initiating a collaborative, consensus-based process to address the identified issues and, (3) if
feasible, to recommend a process design. This assessment phase was intended first to answer the
question of uhedxr a collaborative process may be appropriate or useful, and if the answer to the first
questions were "yes," to answer the question of howthe interested parties might move forward with
such a process.
RESOLVE conducted a series of interviews with parties representing a range of perspectives related
to issues of governance, annexation, urban services, and related issues in the Bull Mountain area.
Parties interviewed included elected government officials and staff from the City of Tigard and
Washington County as well as residents of the Bull Mountain area, some of whom were members of
the Friends of Bull Mountain and some of whom were not. RESOLVE also interviewed other
individuals with knowledge of or experience with the issues and concerns about governance,
annexation and urban services in the Bull Mountain area. RESOLVE then analyzed the interviews
to assess whether there was the opportunity to initiate a collaborative process to address the issues.
R.ESOLVE's analysis suggests that a collaborative process would not have a substantial likelihood of
success at the current time. The analysis also suggests, however, that there maybe opportunities in
the future where a collaborative process maybe useful in helping the parties to resolve any
remaining issues and concerns.
RESOLVE - Bull Mountain Convening Assessment - Assessment Report July 2006 Page 1
DRAFT 07-27-06
II. The Convening Assessment Process
A convening assessment is a method to assess and potentially assist stakeholders in organizing or
convening a collaborative process. An assessment provides the opportunity for a neutral third party
to help the stakeholders to gather information, learn about each other's interests, better understand
the varying perspectives on issues and concerns, test assumptions regarding the anticipated barriers
or obstacles, and begin to develop a range of ideas and suggestions for addressing the identified
issues and concerns.
In consultation with OCP, RESOLVE crafted a set of interview questions and an initial list of
interviewees. The interview list was not intended to include every individual with an interest or
information related to Bull Mountain; rather, it was designed to obtain a cross section of the full
range of perspectives related to these issues. Additions to the interview list were made based on
suggestions from other interviewees. The assessment interview process took place between January
and May 2006 with individual, group, phone and/or in-person interviews with the parties and other
stakeholders. Interviews were completed with nearly twenty individuals. (See list attached as
Appendix 1.)
The process helped RESOLVE to understand stakeholder interest in finding collaborative solutions
to identified issues and to assess the likelihood that a collaborative process could achieve success in
resolving the issues.
III. Interests, Issues and Concerns
Interviewees represented a wide range of interests and expressed a diversity of concerns related to
annexation, governance, and urban services in the Bull Mountain area. Several of the issues and
concerns identified by the interviewees appeared to he at the heart of the disagreements or differences
of opinion among the various parties. Some of these key issues are identified below.
Interviewee Interests
The interviewees represented a cross-section of interests including affected residents; state, regional,
county and local government officials with relevant responsibilities; and outside observers with
academic or outreach roles with respect to the issues more broadly. These interviewees described a
variety of interests relating to urban services and governance in the Bull Mountain area that were
both personal and professional in origin. For example, some interviewees had a deep interest in
protecting their personal quality of life and the character of their neighborhoods. Others had
professional interest in planning and providing for orderly development of land uses or simply in
meeting the needs of their constituents in Bull Mountain neighborhoods, the City of Tigard,
Washington County, or the region more broadly. Other interviewees were simply knowledgeable
about the issues without having any particular interest related to the issues of concern.
Interviewee Issues and Concerns
Planning, Permitting and Enforcement. One significant set of concerns expressed by interviewees
centered on the provision of urban services related to land use, development planning and permitting,
and enforcement for the Bull Mountain area. This included concerns related to decisions on the
RESOLVE - Bull Mountain Convening Assessment - Assessment Report July 2006 Page 2
DRAFT 07-27-06
allowable density of residential development on Bull Mountain. A core issue identified by many
interviewees was who should control land use decision making in the Bull Mountain area - Tigard,
Washington County, or Bull Mountain residents themselves.
Since the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) was drawn, and more recently in the wake of statewide
legislation, the County position with respect to unincorporated urban areas generally has been that such
developed areas should be planned and permitted by municipal authorities (not county planners). The
county entered into intergovernmental agreements with Tigard beginning in 1997 under which Tigard
was responsible for review and approval of development permits and the enforcement of development
codes in the unincorporated Bull Mountain area. In brief, this led to concerns over.
• the density of development allowed under the codes applied to Bull Mountain and their
consistency with a Bull Mountain community plan completed for the area in the early 1980's;
• the equity of enforcement and implementation of both density requirements and other
development related requirements (e.g., requirements related to tree removal and slope
restrictions);
• the appropriateness, in general, of vesting land use decision making or enforcement authority in
a government entitywith no electoral ties to some of the areas or citizens over which it has
been given jurisdiction (creating, in the minds of some interviewees, an apparent conflict of
interest).
It now appears that Washington County (which does have direct electoral ties with all Bull Mountain
residents) will be reassuming authority for development permitting in the Bull Mountain area in July
2006 (when the current intergovernmental agreement expires) pending the outcome of an ongoing
effort to incorporate a new City of Bull Mountain.
Other Urban Services. Also of concern to a number of interviewees were issues related to the
provision of other urban services. In short, the interviews suggested that some parties seemed to feel
that unincorporated Bull Mountain residents were receiving adequate urban services at a reasonable cost
while others thought services were either not adequate or were being subsidized by Tigard taxpayers.
For example, concerns were expressed over
• the lack of parks in the Bull Mountain area as well as whether or not unincorporated Bull
Mountain residents were using Tigard parks and, if so, whether they were providing a fair share
of fiscal support for Tigard parks;
• whether or not unincorporated Bull Mountain residents were using the Tigard library and, if so,
whether they were paying a fair share in support of the library;
• whether unincorporated Bull Mountain residents were paying a fair share of the costs for
enhanced sheriff's patrol services.
Governance and Annexation. Annexation has been a well debated subject in Oregon over recent years,
and was an issue for the Bull Mountain area leading up to a vote on annexation in 2004. According to
some interviewees, Tigard, Washington County and others have long contemplated (ever since the
UGB was drawn to include unincorporated areas like Bull Mountain) that the Bull Mountain area would
ultimately be annexed by Tigard. It was also suggested that annexing the area was an important growth
objective for Tigard. However, in a "double majority" vote in November 2004, annexation was voted
down by a majority of unincorporated Bull Mountain voters, thereby preventing the proposed
annexation of Bull Mountain despite the support of a majority of Tigard voters.
Some interviewees observed that most recent successful annexations have been driven bya need for
urban services. In this case, however, interviewees suggested there was less incentive for Bull Mountain
RESOLVE - Bull Mountain Convening Assessment - Assessment Report July 2006 Page 3
DRAFT 07-27-06
residents to support annexation because most services were being provided at a reasonable cost through
arrangements with Washington County or other providers or were otherwise available nearby. In short,
some interviewees suggested, the vote came down to Bull Mountain residents not wanting to pay
additional taxes if they were annexed to Tigard. Debate leading up to the vote, however, was more
impassioned and centered around several of the issues and concerns described above. Some parties
opposed annexation to Tigard because of these concerns while others suggested that the solution to
these concerns was to annex and become involved in local government to make changes.
Although the issue of formal annexation of the entire Bull Mountain area is, for the moment, "off the
table," concerns remained over ongoing piecemeal annexations of sections of the Bull Mountain area
currently under development. Some interviewees were concerned that in the past Tigard was able to
accomplish annexation of individual properties under development during the permitting process.
Some were also concerned that piecemeal annexation would continue even after Washington County
resumed permitting responsibilities for development occurring near the Tigard city limits.
Missed Opportunities. Some interviewees observed that there may have been missed opportunities
in the past to either resolve some of these concerns or to avoid them in first place. For example, it
was observed that if unincorporated residents had been more involved when the intergovernmental
agreements for urban services were first being forged, there might have been an opportunity to build
a more collaborative relationship and thereby to avoid some of the concerns related to how those
agreements were implemented with respect to densities and code enforcement. Looking even
further back, it was suggested that the destiny of unincorporated areas within the UGB could have
been more clearly charted, and a process for achieving the desired result described, when the UGB
was first drawn and before many of the unincorporated areas within it were actually developed.
More recently, some interviewees believed that if the various parties had been able to enter into a
facilitated collaborative approach earlier (following the annexation vote and before inter-party
relationships had declined), there might have been an opportunity to address many of these issues
and concerns.
IV. Analysis and Recommendations
RESOLVE has expertise in the assessment, design, and implementation of collaborative processes
that provide the greatest opportunity for diverse interests to reach tangible results on complex
natural resource and public policy issues. As neutral process experts, RESOLVE and the Oregon
Consensus Program do not take positions on the substance of the issues on which we work.
RESOLVE is providing its analysis and recommendations in cooperation with the Oregon
Consensus Program. The Oregon Consensus Program is available to work with the parties in
making decisions on whether and/or how to move forward with a collaborative approach.
Essential Characteristics
In assessing whether these issues related to governance, annexation, and urban services in the Bull
Mountain area are amenable to collaborative resolution, it is important to identify whether the key
elements or characteristics are present that are likely to make collaboration productive and successful.
In RESOLVE's experience, a consensus-building or agreement-focused process is more likelyto
succeed if it has the following characteristics:
RESOLVE - Bull Mountain Convening Assessment - Assessment Report July 2006 Page 4
DRAFT 07-27-06
• Clear Objectives. The parties can agree on the overall objectives for the collaborative
process (whether it be an agreement on a course of action, the identification of new options,
a joint fact finding on the impacts of various options) improved communication about
interests and concerns, or another clearly articulated objective).
• Manageable Issues. The parties can agree on a manageable number of interdependent or
related issues. There must also be a sufficiently well developed factual basis on which to
hold a meaningful discussion and resolution of the issues.
• Identifiable Representative Parties. The parties interested in or affected by the outcome of
the collaboration are readily identifiable, capable of identifying from among themselves
participants that can adequately represent all affected interests, and few enough in number to
allow for a manageable process. Participants are able to represent and reflect the interests of
their constituencies.
• Good Faith Participation. The parties can come to the table with genuine interest in
participating in good faith.
• No Preferred Alternative Forum. The parties feel themselves as likely, if not more likely, to
achieve their overall goals using a collaborative approach as they would through whatever
alternative forums are available to them.
• Adequate Resources and Time. The parties can obtain adequate resources to participate,
including technical support, and there is adequate time to conduct a meaningful and well-
designed process.
• Action-Forcing Deadline. There is some sort of legislative, administrative or judicial
deadline or opportunity, or some other forcing mechanism requiring a decision within the
foreseeable future.
• No Delay. The collaborative effort will not cause unreasonable delay.
• Implementation Mechanism. A mechanism exists to implement a consensus agreement, if
. one is reached.
RESOLVE considered the above elements as it analyzed the interviews and utilized these
characteristics to help evaluate the feasibility or utility of a collaborative effort now, in the past, and
in the future.
Current Opportunities for Collaboration
Key Characteristics. Many of the prerequisites to a successful collaboration are identifiable in the
Bull Mountain controversy. For example, it appears likely that willing parties could identify clear
objectives for a collaborative process (e.g., agreement on what entities would provide which urban
services for Bull Mountain and how that could be accomplished) and a set of issues that are
manageable in number even if challenging to resolve. In addition, there appear to be identifiable
parties that are representative of the range of perspectives on the issues andconcerns (recognizing
that it would be important to ensure that a full range of resident perspectives are in fact represented
at the table). There also seemed to be sufficient impetus to keep a resolution process moving
forward (even in the absence of some specific action-forcing deadline) and sufficient time to
conduct a meaningful process, provided that the parties could agree to pausing their other efforts to
achieve their objectives.
RESOLVE - Bull Mountain Convening Assessment - Assessment Report July 2006 Page 5
DRAFT 07-27-06
However, at the outset of RESOLVE's assessment process, it became clear that, in the opinion of
several key parties, the opportunity for any collaborative process to address the issues of concern
had passed, at least for the moment. In particular, the interviews revealed that some interviewees
were determined to investigate the possibility of incorporating a separate City of Bull Mountain as a
vehicle for resolving their concerns and achieving their goals. Similarly, other interviewees
expressed an inclination to let the proponents of incorporation pursue their efforts and to see
whether Bull Mountain residents in general supported the bid for incorporation and if it would make
it to the ballot in an upcoming election.
Consequently, with some of the parties believing that their best result is achievable in a different
forum, a key characteristic needed to ensure a likelihood of successful collaboration appears to be
absent at this point in time.
Barriers to Collaboration. The interviews revealed other potential barriers to a successful
collaborative effort, including a significant history of sharp disagreement among some of the parties.
The interviews revealed that as differences of opinion over the issues evolved, the level of conflict
among some of the parties increased and the relationship between the parties was significantly
challenged. Some interviewees suggested that for some of the individuals involved, relationships
were so damaged that it was difficult to envision any future opportunity to work collaboratively. In
light of this history, at the immediate time it is questionable whether all of the parties could
participate in a collaborative process in good faith without some significant preliminary efforts at
reconciliation. Consequently, there maybe some advantage to the current "break" in the debate
over these issues that has been afforded by the effort to investigate incorporation. It maybe that
with some time, all the parties will be more interested in a collaborative approach, depending on
how the process proceeds leading up to a vote on incorporation.
Timing. As described above, the interviews suggested that the current timing was not supportive of
a collaborative process for a variety of reasons including the availability of an additional forum and
the status of the relationship between the parties. The interviews also suggested, however, that there
may have been a window of opportunity to bring all the parties to the table and to have initiated
some sort of process back in the Spring of 2005. At this point in time, when the OCR' was initially
approached by the Friends of Bull Mountain and when OCR' had additional conversations with the
City of Tigard, Washington County and other parties, incorporation was not being actively pursued
and the relationships among the parties were not as challenged as they were to become several
months later.
The parties and OCP both seem to acknowledge that one significant reason that a collaborative
process did not move forward at that time, despite the apparent interest of at least some of the key
parties, was the lack of resources readily available to support such a process. Specifically, resources
were not available to obtain the assistance of a professional neutral mediator or facilitator to conduct
a convening assessment. The OCP had not yet received a legislative appropriation to provide these
services, and the parties themselves were too unfamiliar with and skeptical of the implications of
contributing to funding an assessment to be willing to do so.
Future Opportunities for Collaboration
While testing the assumption by many that the time was past for any collaborative process,
RESOLVE asked interviewees whether they foresaw a need for or value in a potential collaborative
RESOLVE - Bull Mountain Convening Assessment - Assessment Report July 2006 Page 6
DRAFT 07-27-06
process in the future. Interviewees responses were varied, but many recognized several scenarios in
which a collaborative process could be valuable.
Following a vote on incorporation, there may be additional opportunities for collaboration
regardless of whether the proposal to incorporate is approved or fails. If the bid for incorporation
were to succeed, there may be a need for the parties, including the new city, Tigard, and Washington
County as well as the various urban service providers, to reach agreement on various aspects of their
new, post-incorporation relationship. If the bid for incorporation fails, the parties may find
themselves in a situation where the issues regarding annexation and the provision of urban services
that were the subject of disagreement before the vote remain to be resolved. At that point, some or
all of the parties may feel that a viable alternative to resolve these issues is a collaborative process.
In the very near future, before a vote and as the effort to incorporate moves forward, it is also
conceivable that there may be a need for interactions among the parties to resolve issues relating to
the incorporation process (e.g., boundaries of a new city or the disposition of current
intergovernmental agreements). If the parties have to meet prior to an election to resolve issues
related to incorporation, the use of a structured collaborative process may have some value to the
parties.
V. Conclusion
It appears that unless there are some narrow issues that could benefit from collaborative action
leading up to a vote on incorporation, there is not currently an opportunity to move forward with a
collaborative process. For at least the next several months, several key elements for a successful
collaboration appear to be missing, including the willing, good faith participation of all the key
parties and the absence of a preferred alternative forum. It does appear that there maybe
opportunities in the future, following a vote either for or against incorporation, when a collaborative
process may have value in helping these parties resolve issues or concerns related to governance,
annexation and urban services in the Bull Mountain area.
Through the assessment process, RESOLVE and OCP gathered considerable additional information
related to the history of these issues and the perspectives of the various parties as to their nature and
potential resolution. While not currently relevant here given that a process is not likely to move
forward at this time, this information may be useful in the future to help the parties and a third party
neutral mediator or facilitator set the stage for a successful collaborative effort to resolve these issues
in the Bull Mountain area. OCP remains available to the parties as a resource to help them evaluate
the need for and potential success of a future collaborative effort.
RESOLVE and OCP also gathered information that may prove useful in helping other communities
tackle similar issues related to governance, annexation, and urban services in unincorporated urban
areas. As noted above, however, a lack of quickly available resources to support a collaborative
effort may have resulted here in a lost opportunity to address these issues in a more timely and
collaborative manner. The experience with the Bull Mountain area suggests the importance of
having readily available resources to support timely neutral third parry assistance to residents and
jurisdictions involved in disagreements over governance and urban services in unincorporated urban
areas.

recommendation of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan. Adoption of the Downtown Implementation Strategy
provides specific direction to staff and the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAQ with regard to a work program
over upcoming fiscal year (FY 06-07), and an overall strategy for Downtown.
City Council was provided a current version of the Strategy at its June 20 work session. Since then, additional
modifications pertaining to wording or graphics only have been made. No substantive changes have been made since
the June 20 version. The Strategy has been reviewed and modified with input from the CCAC, City Council, City of
Tigard Executive Staff, City Planning Staff, and the current Chair of the Streetscape Working Group. The CCAC
endorsed the Strategy and recommended its adoption by the City Center Development Agency at its June 14 meeting.
The Strategy was developed by researching the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan, the Tigard Urban Renewal Plan,
and determining the key policies and projects within those documents that could be used to organize a strategy. There
were also many discussions with the CCAQ, former Downtown Task Force members, and staff before devising the
Strategy.
The Strategy incorporates the policy objectives of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan, adopted by City Council
on September 25, 2005, into a Strategy and set of "near-term" and "long-term" actions the City should take to
implement the Plan. It includes 3 key strategies with 30 supporting actions, a 3-year action plan, and a 1-year work
program.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title A Resolution Approving Budget Amendment #1 to the FY 2006-07 Budget to Increase
Appropriations in the Sanitary Sewer Division for Purchase of a Replacement Backhoe.
Prepared By: Michelle Wareing Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:ffl
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should City Council approve Budget Amendment #1 to increase appropriations for purchase of a replacement
Backhoe, which was originally budgeted for in FY 2005-06, but won't be received until the end of July 2006?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Budget Amendment #1.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In FY 2005-06, the Sanitary Sewer Division budgeted to replace a backhoe. The Backhoe was ordered in February 2006
and it was anticipated it would arrive in May 2006. Due to manufacturing problems, the backhoe delivery was delayed
and is expected to be delivered by the end of July 2006. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP),
expenses are recorded when goods are received, not when orders are placed. Therefore, these expenses will be charged
to, the FY 2006-07 budget. The Division did not budget for these expenses in FY 2006-07 as' it was anticipated that the
backhoe would be received prior to July 1, 2006.
Because the backhoe replacement appropriation was not spent in FY 2005-06, the ending fund balance carried into FY
2006-07 as a beginning fund balance includes those unused appropriations. Budget Amendment #1 transfers $84,899
from the Sanitary Sewer Fund contingency to the Sanitary Sewer operating budget.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not approve Budget Amendment #1. The Division will show a year-end over-expenditure in capital outlay. It
may or may not overspend its budget

RE: Budget Amendment for Replacement Backhoe
DATE: 7/18/06
I am requesting a budget amendment to the FY 06/07 sanitary sewer division budget,
(account 500-2120-703.000), to appropriate funds in the amount of $84,899.00.
These monies will be used to purchase a replacement backhoe that has been ordered and is
expected to arrive by the end of July 2006.
The 05/06 sanitary sewer budget contained monies for replacement of this backhoe. The
replacement backhoe was approved by Council and ordered using cooperative purchasing
language in the State of Oregon bid specifications.
This backhoe was originally due to arrive in May 2006 but was delayed due to a problem
with manufacturing. See attached e-mail from Halton Inc.

TEMPORARY HALT IN DELIVERY OF 420E AND 430E
Attn: Dealer Sales Coordinators - Please share this message immediately
with your Sales Management as well as Rental Personnel
we have discovered a potential RODS weld problem on E Series BHL made in
Clayton, NC. A weld may be missing or just not long enough on one or both
of the front cab / canopy mounts. This is a different issue than the one
that affects the front windshield. This problem is on a fairly small
number of machines (3 - 5%) but all E Series machines must be inspected to
determine if any rework is required. The problem is less severe on the
416E (we will address the 416E as well, but later) so we are giving the
following advice regarding the 420E and 430E.
Effective immediately, do not deliver any 420E or 430E BHL to customers or
to your Rental Fleet until a RODS weld inspection is completed and
documentation is provided to Cat. A similar note is being sent to Dealer
TC's with inspection, documentation, and related information including go /
no shipping parameters. Units that pass these dealer completed steps can be
delivered to customers and rental fleets. A TIB will be available early
next week with detailed instructions. Inspections at the plant have been
completed with a small number being detained for rework. The affected
orders and dealers will be notified individually. The issue is contained
and shipments have resumed from the factory. We are devising a plan to
inspect and rework units that are in customer hands. More information
regarding that process will be forthcoming.
We will provide additional details on the effect of this issue on factory
shipments in another communication on Thursday, May 11. In the meantime,

Issue/Agenda Title A Resolution Approving Budget Amendment #2 to the FY 2006-07 Budget to Increase
Appropriations in the Parks Capital Projects Budget Within the Community Investment Program for Purchase and
Installation of a Play Structure at Northview Park.
Prepared By: Michelle Wareing Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval: M/~
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should City Council approve Budget Amendment #2 to increase appropriations for purchase and installation of a play
structure at Northview Park, which was originally budgeted for in FY 2005-06, but won't be received until after July 1,
2006?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Budget Amendment #2.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In FY 2005-06, the Parks Capital Projects budget within the Community Investment Program included $25,000 for
purchase and installation of a play structure at Northview Park. The structure was ordered early in 2006, but due to
delays caused by transferring the state bid listing from the prior playground vendor to the current vendor, the structure
will not be received nor installed prior to July 1, 2006. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP),
expenses are recorded when goods are received, not when orders are placed. Therefore, these expenses will be charged
to the FY 2006-07 budget. The Parks capital project budget for FY 2006-07 does not include appropriations for this
project as it was anticipated that the play structure would be received and installed prior to July 1, 2006.
Because the project appropriation was not spent in FY 2005-06, the ending fund balance carried into FY 2006-07 as the
beginning fund balance includes those unused appropriations. Budget Amendment #2 transfers $25,000 from the
Parks Capital Fund contingency to the Parks Capital Projects budget.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not approve Budget Amendment #2. The Northview Park Play Structure project will show a year-end over-
expenditure. The Parks Capital Projects budget may or may not be overspent.

FROM Steve Mattmi, an Plaza
RE: Northview Play Structure
DATE: June 6, 2006
The Parks Division is requesting a budget amendment for the Northview Park play structure
money to be carried to the 2006-07 budget. Currently the play structure is in the 2005-06
budget under 225-6400-754085. We would like to carry $25,000 to the CIP for 2006-07 to
allow for the construction of this playground in the upcoming fiscal year.
This action has come about because of the time lag in transferring the state bid listing from
the past playground vendor to the future vendor of Natural Structures Playgrounds. The
status of the listing transfer, started months ago, is still unfinished and has raised the
probability that the structure will not be deliverable before the end of the fiscal year. This
and the time needed to install the structure have prompted me to ask for a budget
amendment to make the funds available in 2006-07. This will allow the transfer of the state
bid listing or the purchase of a different structure on the list. It will also allow time for a
contractor to finish the installation of the structure later this summer.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should City Council approve Budget Amendment #3 to increase appropriations in the Water, Sanitary Sewer, and
Stormwater Capital Projects budgets for funding of the Water Building remodel?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Budget Amendment #3.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Duruig the budget process, the Budget Committee removed funding for the Water Building remodel from the
budget and instead placed the funds in contingency. Staff was directed to bring additional information to Council
before funding would be appropriated. At the July 18, 2006 City Council Study Session, Dennis Koellermeier,
Public Works Director, presented Council with additional information regarding the remodel project. After the
presentation and Council discussion, Council directed staff to proceed with the Water Building remodel and to
prepare a budget amendment to appropriate the necessary funds for the project.
Budget Amendment #3 transfers $400,000 from the Water Fund Contingency to the Water Capital Projects budget,
$130,000 from the Sanitary Sewer Fund Contingency to the Sanitary Sewer Capital Projects budget, and $100,000
from the Stormwater Fund Contingency to the Stormwater Capital Projects budget for funding of the Water

LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Award of Contract for Design Services for Phase 2 (,Commercial Street Streetscape) of the
Tigard Downtown Comprehensive Streetscape Project
Prepared By: A.P. Duenas Dept Head Okay City Mgr Okay
ISSUE BEFORE THE LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD
Should the Local Contract Review Board approve the contract award to OTAK, Inc., to provide design services for
Phase 2 (Commercial Street Streetscape) of the Tigard Downtown Comprehensive Streetscape Project?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the Local Contract Review Board, by motion, approve the contract award to OTAK, Inc., in the amount of
$89,919.00 and authorize an additional amount of $8,992.00 to be reserved for contingencies and applied as needed.
The total amount committed to Phase 2 is therefore $98,911.00.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
At its meeting on November 8, 2005, the Local Contract Review Board approved the contract award to OTAK, Inc., to
provide design services for Phase 1 of the Tigard Downtown Comprehensive Streetscape Project and authorized the
City Manager to enter into a separate contract at a later date with the same consultant (assuming satisfactory
negotiations and agreement on price) for the subsequent two phases, Commercial Street Streetscape (Phase 2) and
Burnham Street Improvements (Phase 3). The Commercial Street.project is identified as a catalyst project to kickstart
the implementation of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan and upon completion will provide pedestrian access
to the downtown area and the commuter rail station from the residential area west of the Highway 99W overpass. In
addition, through implementation of streetscape design elements and gateway treatment, it will become one of the
enhanced gateways into the Tigard downtown area.
The original Request for Proposal included design services for all three phases. However, because the streetscape design
was expected to determine the design elements to be included in Phases 2 and 3, the contract award for those two
phases were withheld with the intention of executing an additional contract for those two phases once the design
concepts were established and the scope of work for the next two phases were better defined. Phase 3 (Burnham Street
Improvements) was awarded by the LCRB at its meeting on July 18, 2006.
After extensive negotiations, the City and the consultant have reached agreement on the fees for Phase 2 (Commercial
Street Streetscape). The fees agreed upon are itemized as follows:
Basic Design: $64,869.00
Gateway Design: $ 8,179.00
Reimbursables: $ 3,952.00
Total Design Services: $77,000.00
Additional Services:
Public Involvement: $ 3,204.00
Engineering Services
During Construction: $ 8,715.00
Reimbursables: $ 1,000.00
Total Additional Services: $11,919.00
Total Contract Amount: $89,919.00
Contingency amount: $ 8,992.00
Total funding commitment requested: $98,911.00
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
Street and streetscape improvements, together with the gateway treatment, on Commercial Street meet the Council
Goal to "Implement Downtown Plan." The project also meets the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow goals of "Improve
Traffic Safety," "Improve Traffic Flow," and "Alternative Modes of Transportation will be Available and Use Shall be
Maximized."
ATTACHMENT LIST
None
FISCAL NOTES
The project is funded in FY 2006-07 from the Gas Tax Fund in the amount of $400,000 for the street project and
$75,000 for the gateway treatment broken down as follows:
CDBG grant: $91,300
Commercial Street Improvements including streetscape: Gas Tax dollars in the amount of $308,700
Gateway treatment: Gas Tax dollars in the amount of $75,000
The funding available is sufficient to allow award of the contract to OTAK, Inc., for the services as defined above.
Contract award by the LCRB will allow Phase 2 of the Tigard Comprehensive Streetscape project to proceed into
the design phase leading to construction. Because the project is partially funded by a Community Development
Block Grant with an expiration date of December 31, 2007, it is essential that the design of the project begin as
soon as possible so that the project design can be performed and construction completed prior to the expiration of
the grant period.

• This project will construct an 8-foot wide concrete multi-use trail beginning from an existing concrete path
in Cook Park to the Portland & Western Railroad Underpass. This trail segment is part of a long standing
three-city plan to construct a pedestrian bridge over the Tualatin River that will interconnect the trail
systems and major parks of the adjoining cities of Tigard, Tualatin and Durham. The bridge is being
constructed under oversight by the City of Tualatin.
• The trail is 1,500 feet long of which 1,100 feet will be fully constructed by the City of Tigard. The remaining
400 feet will be constructed by the City after it has been graded and backfilled with rock by the bridge
project. The trail is located entirely within the 100-year floodplain of Tualatin River, and the land through
which the trail will travel is owned by Clean Water Services (CWS).
• A Sensitive Lands permit has been obtained and a 25-foot wide trail easement has been granted by CWS.

LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title: Rejection of Bids for the Construction of Hall Boulevard Sidewalk
li
Prepared B : Vannie N en Dept Head Approval: City M Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD
Shall the Local Contract Review Board reject bids for the construction of Hall Boulevard Sidewalk (from Spruce Street
to 850 feet south)?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Local Contract Review Board, by motion, reject the single bid received.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
• The project was advertised for bids on June 27 in Daily Journal of Commerce, June 28 in El Latino and June 29
and July 6, 2006 in The Times. The original bid opening was scheduled for July 11, 2006. However, since the
plan holder list indicated the possibility that no bids would be submitted, Addendum No. 1 was issued to
extend the bid opening to July 25 to allow contractors more time to prFpare their bids. Addendum No. 2 was
issued on July 19, 2006 to provide bidders with current Davis-Bacon wage rates. The bid results are:
All Concrete Specialties Portland, OR $ 343,959.41
Engineer's Estimate Range $210,000 to $256,000
• Because only one bid was received and the bid amount is almost 50% more than the average Engineer's
estimate, rejection of the submitted bid is recommended. An analysis of the bid tabulation indicates that the
unit bid prices are more than double those expected for "Roadway Excavation", "Concrete Curb &
Sidewalk", "Asphaltic Concrete", "Manhole", and "Trench Excavation & Backfill" bid items.
• Contractors, who registered their names on the plan holder list, specified that they were too busy during the
summer to bid the project and extending the bid opening schedule would not help the City to solicit more
bids. Upon Local Contract Review Board rejection of bids, staff plans to re-bid the project early in 2007 for
the construction to begin in late winter or early spring next year. Since most contractors would not have
committed to other projects early in the calendar year, this strategy should result in more bid submittals and
hopefully lower bids.
• The proposed project would have included construction of approximately 900 feet of concrete sidewalk on
the west side of Hall Boulevard from Spruce Street to 850 feet south; reconstruction of eight concrete
driveway aprons as required by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT); construction of
drainage pipes and catch basins to collect water runoff, which currently flows into existing ditches; and
construction of planter strips at locations where right-of-way acquisition is not required and impacts to
existing properties are negligible.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Rider Annexation (ZCA2006-00001)
Prepared By: Emily Eng Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall City Council approve annexation of 1.26 acres of land (Zone Change Annexation - ZCA2006-00001) located on
the south side of SW Bull Mountain Road and east of SW 1334 Avenue?
The proposed territory is an island surrounded by City limits and can be served by urban services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the recommended ordinance annexing the subject territory into the City of Tigard.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
State law (ORS 222.125) authorizes a city to annex contiguous land when owners of real property in the proposed
annexation territory submit a petition to the legislative body of the city. The property owner and the resident/registered
voter of 13030 SW Bull Mountain Road (WCTM 2S109AC, Tax Lot 02101) have submitted a petition for annexation to
the City of Tigard. Because all adjacent properties are within city limits, it was not necessary to invite adjacent owners to
join the annexation.
The proposed annexation territory (Rider Annexation) is a 1.26-acre island of unincorporated territory and contiguous
to the City on four (4) sides. The proposed territory is surrounded by the Alberta Rider School on three (3) sides and is
adjacent to SW Bull Mountain Road on its northern boundary. The proposed annexation does not include any right-
of-way because the adjacent right-of-way is already within the City (ZCA91-00012 Foran Annexation). No Goal 5
resources, regionally significant habitat or other sensitive lands have been identified on the site. The Bull Mountain
Community Plan does not identify any significant natural resources on the site.
The applicant desires to annex the proposed territory so that it can receive sewer services.. Because of the failing
onsite gray water disposal system, the proposed territory has been connected to the City sewer system; however, the
connection is contingent upon annexation.
State law (ORS 222.750) also authorizes a city to annex unincorporated territory surrounded by the corporate
boundaries of that city with or without consent from property owners, voters or residents within the territory. While
the proposed annexation could proceed in accordance with ORS 222.750, the City is processing the proposed
annexation in accordance with ORS 222.125 because the property owner initiated the annexation request.
The applicable review criteria for this application are ORS Chapter 222; Metro Code Chapter 3.09; City of Tigard
Comprehensive Plan Policies 2 and 10, and Community Development Code Chapters 18.320 and 18.390.
Staff finds that the proposed annexation (ZCA2006-00001) meets all the approval criteria and recommends that the
Council approve ZCA2006-00001 by adoption of the attached ordinance.
Key Facts:
1. The proposed territory is an island of unincorporated territory, surrounded by the City limits;
2. Urban services are available to serve the proposed territory;
3. The proposed territory is within the City's Urban Growth Boundary and Metro's Urban Growth Boundary; and
4. The proposed territory is within the City's Urban Services Area and Area of Interest.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Not approving ZCA2006-00001 if it does not meet the applicable review criteria.
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
Growth and Growth Management, Goal #2: Urban services will be provided to all citizens within Tigard's urban
growth boundary.

Statement by City Attorney - Quasi-Judicial Land Use Hearing Procedures
A copy of the rules of procedure for today's hearing is available at the entrance. The staff report
on this hearing has been available for viewing and downloading on the City's website and a
paper copy of the staff report has been available in the Tigard Public Library for the last seven
days.
The Council's role in this hearing is to make a land use decision under existing laws. The
Council cannot change the law for the land use application now under consideration.
Any person may offer testimony. Please wait until you are asked to speak by the Mayor and try
to limit your remarks to the application standards for the application.
Members of the City Council will be asked whether they have any conflicts of interest. If a
Council member has an actual conflict, the Council member will not participate.
Council members must declare any contacts about this case with a member of the public.
Council members must also declare if they have independent knowledge of relevant facts, such
as from a visit to the site in question. A Council member who describes ex parte contacts or
independent information may still participate in the decision.
After the discussion of conflicts and ex parte contacts, any person may challenge the
participation of a Council member or rebut any statements made. The Council member in
question may respond to such a challenge.
Tonight, City staff will summarize the written staff report. Then the parties requesting
annexation and those in favor of the proposal testify. Next witnesses who oppose the application
or who have questions or concerns testify. If there is opposition or if there are questions, the
proponents can respond to them. The Council members also may ask the staff and the witnesses
questions throughout the hearing until the record closes. After all testimony is taken, including
any rebuttal, the proponents can make a closing statement. After the record is closed, the City
Council will deliberate about what to do with the application. During deliberations, the City
Council may re-open the public portion of the hearing if necessary to receive additional evidence
before making a decision.
You may testify orally or in writing before the close of the public record to preserve your right to
appeal the Council's decision to the Land Use Board of Appeals. You should to raise an issue
clearly enough so that Council understands and can address the issue precludes an appeal on that
issue. Please do not repeat testimony offered by yourself or earlier witnesses. If you agree with
the statement of an earlier witness, please just state that and add any additional points of your
own.
Please refrain from disruptive demonstrations. Comments from the audience will not be part of
the record. The point is, come to the microphone to get your comments on the tape, otherwise,
they won't be preserved for appeal.
When you are called to testify, please come forward to the table. Please begin your testimony by
giving your name, spelling your last name, and give your full mailing address including zip code.
If you represent someone else, please say so. If you have any exhibits you want us to consider,
such as a copy of your testimony, photographs, petitions, or other documents or physical
evidence, at the close of your comments you must hand all new exhibits to the City Recorder
who will mark these exhibits as part of the record. The City staff will keep exhibits until appeal
opportunities expire, and then you can ask them to return your exhibits.

SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site Information:
The proposed annexation territory is 1.26 acres and located on the south side of SW Bull Mountain Road,
east of SW 133`d Avenue and west of Greenfield Drive. It is made up of one (1) tax lot (WCTM 2S109AC,
Tax Lot 02101) and contiguous to the City of Tigard on all sides (4). The proposed territory is surrounded
by the Alberta Rider School on three sides and abuts SW Bull Mountain Road on its northern boundary.
The proposed territory is part of unincorporated Bull Mountain and the City's Urban Service Area, which
means that the provisions of the City of Tigard's Urban Serrrice Agreement (TUSA) and Urban Planning Area
Agreement (UPAA) apply. One single family dwelling and one secondary dwelling exist in the proposed
territory, which has a slope of approximately 8 percent. No Goal 5 resources, regionally significant habitat
or other sensitive lands have been identified on the site. The Bull Mountain Community Plan does not
identify any significant natural resources on the site.
The applicant desires to annex the proposed territory so that it can receive sewer services. Because of the
failing onsite gray water disposal system, the proposed territory has been connected to the City sewer
system; however, the connection is contingent upon annexation. Because all adjacent properties are within
city limits, it was not necessary to invite adjacent owners to join the annexation. The proposed annexation
does not include any right-of-way because the adjacent right-of-way is already within the City (ZCA91-
00012 Foran Annexation). No previous land use decisions are related to the tax lot alone and there are
currently no pending decisions related to the site other than the proposed annexation.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA FINDINGS AND
CONCLUSIONS
State: ORS Chapter 222
Regional: Metro Code Chapter 3.09
City: Comprehensive Plan Policies 2 and 10, Community Development Code Chapters 18.320 and 18.390.
A. CITY OF TIGARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE TITLE 18-)
Staff has determined that the proposal is consistent with the relevant portions of the Community
Development Code based on the following findings:
RIDER ANNEXATION
ZCA2006-00001 PAGE 2 OF 10
1
1. Chapter 18.320.020: Approval Process and Standards.
B. Approval Criteria. The decision to approve, approve with modification, or deny an application to annex
property to the City shall be based on the following criteria:
1. All services and facilities are available to the area and have sufficient capacity to provide service
for the proposed annexation area; and
The City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan's Urbanization Chapter (Policy 10.1.1) defines "services"
as water, sewer, drainage, streets, police, and fire protection. When the City received this
application on May 3, 2006, the proposed annexation territory was zoned R-7, a medium-density
single-family residential zone with a minimum residential lot size of 5,000 square feet. The
proposed territory will be automatically zoned City of Tigard R-7 upon annexation. The property
currently has water service, as well as access to water from an on-site well. The nearest sanitary
sewer line is in SW 132nd Avenue. Because of the failing onsite gray water disposal system, the
subject property has been connected to this sewer line prior to annexation. The continuance of
this connection is contingent upon approval of the proposed annexation. Storm drainage is
available on SW Bull Mountain Road. A fire hydrant is located on SW Bull Mountain Road less
than 200 feet from the northwest corner of the proposed territory.
For streets, the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP) standards apply. The proposed territory is
located on SW Bull Mountain Road, which is designated a collector in the TSP. Currently, the
proposed territory has direct access to SW Bull Mountain Road. The City of Tigard departments
of Public Works, Engineering and Police have reviewed the annexation proposal and have not
raised any objections or indicated that there would be a lack of service capacity for the proposed
territory or a significant reduction in existing City service levels. Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue
(TVF&R), which currently serves the proposed territory, did not have objections to the proposal.
Based upon this review, staff finds that all public services (as defined by the Comprehensive Plan)
are available to the proposed annexation territory and all public services have sufficient capacity to
provide service to the proposed annexation territory.
2. The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies and implementing ordinance provisions have been
satisfied.
Three Comprehensive Plan policies apply to proposed annexation: 2.1.1, 10.1.1., and 10.1.2. Staff
has determined that the proposal has satisfied the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies based
on the following findings:
Policy 2.1.1: Citizen Involvement. The City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement
program and shall assure that citizens will be provided an opportunity to be involved in all phases
of the planning process.
The City maintains an ongoing citizen involvement program. To assure citizens will be provided an
opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process, the City provides notice for Type
IV land-use applications. The City posted, mailed and published notice of the public hearing as
follows. The City posted the hearing notice at four public places on June 9, 20062: Tigard Library,
Tigard City Hall, Tigard Permit Center, and in the public right-of-way at 13030 SW Bull Mountain
Road. The City published notice of the hearing in The Tigard Tualatin Sherwood Times for two
2 Due to a scheduling change, notice was posted 15 days earlier than the required 45 days prior to the hearing.

successive weeks Quly 20, 2006 and July 27, 2006) prior to the August 8, 2006, public hearing. The
City also mailed notice to all interested parties and surrounding property owners within 500 feet on
July 17, 2006. In addition, the City maintains a list of interested parties organized by geography.
Notice was mailed to interested parties in the West area on July 17, 2006, which includes former
Citizen Involvement Team contacts and CPO 4B, the citizen participation organization for the
area. Staff finds that this policy is met.
Policy 10.1.1: Urbanization. Prior to the annexation of land to the City of Tigard,
a) the City shall review each of the following services as to adequate capacity, or such services to
be made available, to serve the parcel if developed to the most intense use allowed, and will not
significantly reduce the level of services available to developed and undeveloped land within the
City of Tigard: 1. Water; 2. Sewer; 3. Drainage; 4. Streets; 5. Police; and 6. Fire Protection.
As addressed under 18.320.020 above, adequate service is available to the proposed annexation
territory. At the time of application, the proposed territory was zoned R-7, a medium-density
single-family residential zone with a minimum residential lot size of 5,000 square feet. The
proposed territory will be automatically designated the same zoning upon annexation. The site has
an estimated maximum density of 8 units.' If it develops, it will be required to connect to public
service facilities, which staff has found to be available to the proposed territory.
The City of Tigard department of Public Works has reviewed the annexation proposal and states
that the City's water system can provide the minimum State of Oregon water service requirements
for the proposed territory based on the maximum density permitted. Public Works states that
water is available in quantity and quality and has not indicated that there would be a reduction in its
capacity to provide water to the proposed annexation territory or reduce the level of service to the
entire City. The Police Department reviewed the proposal and has no objections. The
Engineering Department reviewed the proposal and has no objections. The Engineering
Department confirmed that sewer service, storm drainage and street access are available to the site.
Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue (TVF&R), the current provider to the proposed territory, did not
raise any objections. Staff concludes that there is adequate capacity to serve the proposed territory
(water, sewer, drainage, streets, police, fire protection if developed to the most intense use
allowed, and will not significantly reduce the level of services available to developed and
undeveloped land within the City of Tigard.
b) If required by an adopted capital improvements program ordinance, the applicant shall sign and
record with Washington County a nonremonstrance agreement regarding the following. 1. The
formation of a local improvement district (L.I.D.) for any of the following services that could be
provided through such a district. The extension or improvement of the following: a) Water, b)
Sewer, c) Drainage, and d) Streets. 2. The formation of a special district for any of the above
services or the inclusion of the property into a special service district for any of the above services.
This criterion does not apply: No capital improvements program requires a nonremonstrance
agreement for this area. Urban services are already available to the proposed annexation territory.
c) The City shall provide urban services to areas within the Tigard Urban Planning Area or within
the Urban Growth Boundary upon annexation.
The Tigard Urban Planning Area (as defined in the Wasbington County - Tigard Urban Planning Area
Agreement (UPAA), (adopted 1988, revised 2004) includes the proposed annexation territory. The City
3 Maximum density was calculated using formula provided in Code Chapter 18.715.

is the designated urban services provider for the services defined in the Tigard Urban Service
Agreement (USA) (adopted 2002) and subsequent operating agreements: police; parks, recreation and
open space; roads and streets; sanitary sewer and storm water (through an operating agreement
with CWS); and water service. Upon annexation, those services will be provided according to the
City's current policies. Staff finds that this policy is met.
Policy 10.1.2: Urbanization. Approval of proposed annexations of land by the City shall be based
on findings with respect to the following: a) The annexation eliminates an existing "pocket" or
"island" of unincorporated territory; or, b) The annexation will not create an irregular boundary
that makes it difficult for the police in an emergency situation to determine whether the parcel is
within or outside the City; c) The Police Department has commented upon the annexation; d) the
land is located within the Tigard Area of Interest and is contiguous to the City boundary; e) The
annexation can be accommodated by the services listed in 10.1.1(a).
a) The proposed annexation territory is an island of unincorporated territory in Washington
County, surrounded by the City of Tigard on all sides. Annexing the proposed territory would
eliminate a 1.26-acre island of unincorporated territory.
b) Annexing the proposed territory will not create an irregular boundary because it is already
surrounded by the City on all sides.
c) The City of Tigard Police Department has reviewed the proposed annexation and has no
objections.
d) The UPAA (1988; 2004) includes the proposed annexation territory within the City of Tigard
Area of Interest. The proposed territory is contiguous to the City on all sides (4).
e) As staff's response to Policy 10. 1.1 (a) demonstrated, the annexation can be accommodated by
the following services: water, sewer, drainage; streets; police; and fire protection.
Therefore, staff finds that the proposed annexation meets Policy 10.1.2.
Policy 10.1.3: Urbanization. Upon annexation of land into the City which carries a Washington
County zoning designation, the City of Tigard shall assign the City of Tigard zoning district
designation which most closely conforms to the county zoning designation.
Washington County previously adopted City of Tigard zoning designations for unincorporated
Bull Mountain due to the Urban Services IntergovernmentalAgreement (adopted 1997; revised 2002;
terminated 712012006) in which Tigard performed building and development services for the Bull
Mountain Area on behalf of the County. The proposed annexation territory's Washington County
designation was R-6 and was converted to Tigard's R-7 (Table 320.1 summarizes the conversion of
the County's plan and zoning designations). As of July 20, 2006, the USIA will be terminated and
zoning of unincorporated territory on Bull Mountain will revert back to its equivalent Washington
County designation. At the time the application was received (May 3, 2006), the proposed territory
was zoned R-7 and the proposed territory will be automatically zoned City of R-7 upon
annexation.

Chapter 18.320.020
C. Assignment of comprehensive plan and zoning designations.
The comprehensive plan designation and the zoning designation placed on the property shall be the City's
zoning district which most closely implements the City's or County's comprehensive plan map
designation. The assignment of these designations shall occur automatically and concurrently with the
annexation. In the case of land which carries County designations, the City shall convert the County's
comprehensive plan map and zoning designations to the City designations which are the most similar. A
zone change is required if the applicant requests a comprehensive plan map and/or zoning map
designation other than the existing designations. (See Chapter 18.380). A request for a zone change can be
processed concurrently with an annexation application or after the annexation has been approved.
As the previous section demonstrated, no changes to the zoning designations are required for the
proposed territory, as the designation at the time of application already reflects a City of Tigard
designation.
City of Tigard Community Development Code
2. Chapter 18.390.060: Type IV Procedure
Annexations are processed by means of a Type IV procedure, as governed by Chapter 18.390 of the
Community Development Code (Title 18) using standards of approval contained in 18.390.020(B), which
were addressed in the previous section. Chapter 18.390 requires City Council to hold a hearing on an
annexation. It also requires the City to provide notice at least 10 days prior to the hearing by mail and to
publish newspaper notice; the City mailed notice on July 17, 2006, and published public notice in The
Tigard Tualatin Sherwood Times for two successive weeks Quly 20, 2006, and July 27, 2006,) prior to the
August 8, 2006, public hearing.
Additionally, Chapter 18.390.060 sets forth five decision-malting considerations for a Type IV decision:
1. The Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines adopted under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 197;
The City's Comprehensive Plan has been acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development
Commission to be in compliance with state planning goals. As reviewed above, 'the annexation proposal
meets the existing Comprehensive Plan policies and therefore is in compliance with state planning goals.
RIDER ANNEXATION
ZCA2006-00001 PAGE 6 OF 10
2. Any federal or state statutes or regulations found applicable;
ORS 222: State law (ORS 222.125) allows for a city to annex contiguous land when owners of real
property in the proposed annexation territory submit a petition to the legislative body of the city.' ORS
222.120 requires the city to hold a public hearing before its legislative body (City Council) and provide
public notice to be published once each week for two successive weeks prior to the day of the hearing, in a
newspaper of general circulation in the city, and shall cause notices of the hearing to be posted in four
public places in the city for a like period.
The property owner and the resident/active voter of 13030 SW Bull Mountain Road (WCTM 2S109AC,
Tax Lot 2101) have both submitted a petition for annexation to the City. The proposed territory (Rider
Annexation) is an island of unincorporated territory, contiguous to the City on all sides (4). The City
published public notice in The Tigard Tualatin Shenvood Times for two successive weeks Quly 20, 2006, and
July 27, 2006,) prior to the August 8, 2006, public hearing and posted the hearing notice at four public
places on June 9, 2006: Tigard Library, Tigard City Hall, Tigard Permit Center, and in the public right of
way at the proposed territory. Staff finds that the provisions of ORS 222 have been met.
3. Any applicable METRO regulations;
Chapter 3.09 of the Metro Code (Local Government Boundary Changes) includes standards to be
addressed in annexation decisions, in addition to local and state review standards. Note that the report is
available 15 days before the hearing Quly 24, 2006, for an August 8, 2006, hearing). Staff has determined
that the applicable METRO regulations (Metro Code 3.09.040(b) &(d)) have been met based on the
following findings:
Metro 3.09.040 (b)
(b) Not later than 15 days prior to the date set for a change decision, the approving entity shall make
available to the public a report that addresses the criteria in subsections (d) and (g) below, and that
includes at a minimum the following:
(1) The extent to which urban services presently are available to serve the affected territory
including any extra territorial extensions of service;
As addressed previously in this report, urban services are available to the affected territory.
(2) A description of how the proposed boundary change complies with any urban service provider
agreements adopted pursuant to ORS 195.065 between the affected entity and all necessary parties;

changes in the Regional Framework Plan or the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan.
However, the City's Comprehensive Plan and Development Code have been amended to comply
with Metro functional plan requirements. By complying with the Development Code and

The proposed territory will remain within Washington County but will be required to be
withdrawn from the boundary of the Tigard Water District, the Washington County Enhanced
Sheriffs Patrol District, Washington County Urban Roads Maintenance District, Washington

completion of the annexation.
(5) The proposed effective date of the decision.

Metro Code 3.09.040 (d)
(d) An approving entity's final decision on a boundary change shall include findings and conclusions
addressing the following criteria:
1. Consistency with directly applicable provisions in an urban service provider agreement or
annexation plan adopted pursuant to ORS 195.065;
The TUSA (2002) includes the proposed annexation territory. The agreement specifies notice
requirements for land use planning actions; the City provided notice of the proposed annexation to
all applicable parties. The agreement states that the County and City will be supportive of
annexations to the City, and the City shall endeavor to annex unincorporated territory in the Bull
Mountain area in the near to mid-term (accomplished by 2005-2007, as projected in the TUSA).
The proposed territory is an island of unincorporated territory in the Bull Mountain area. The
proposed annexation is consistent with this agreement.
2. Consistency with directly applicable provisions of urban planning or other agreements, other
than agreements adopted pursuant to ORS 195.065, between the affected entity and a necessary
party;
The UPAA (1988; 2004) includes the proposed annexation territory. The City has followed all
processing and notice requirements in the UPAA, providing Washington County with 45-day
notice prior to the public hearing. The agreement states that "so that all properties within the
Tigard Urban Service Area will be served by the City, the County and City will be supportive of
annexations to the City." The City also provided notice to the affected CPO (CPO 4B) per the
agreement. The annexation proposal is consistent with this agreement
3. Consistency with specific directly applicable standards or criteria for boundary changes
contained in comprehensive land use plans and public facility plans;
As previously stated in this report, this proposal meets all applicable City of Tigard Comprehensive
Plan provisions. This criterion is satisfied.
4. Consistency with specific directly applicable standards or criteria for boundary changes
contained in the Regional Framework Plan or any functional plan;
RIDER ANNEXATION
ZCA2006-00001 PAGE 8 OF 10
This criterion was addressed under Metro Code 3.09.040(6). By complying with the City of Tigard
Community Development Code and Comprehensive Plan, the annexation is consistent with the
Functional Plan and the Regional Framework Plan.
5. Whether the proposed change will promote or not interfere with the timely, orderly and
economic provisions of public facilities and services;
The proposed annexation will not interfere with the provision of public facilities or services
because it is consistent with the terms of the TUSA, which ensures the timely, orderly, and
efficient extension of public facilities and urban services. The proposed territory is an island
surrounded by existing city limits and urban services are available to the site. Serving the proposed
territory at maximum density will not significantly reduce existing service levels, as shown in staffs
findings for Code Chapter 18.320.020 B(1) on page 3 of this report.
6. The territory lies within the Urban Growth Boundary; and
The proposed territory is within Metro's Urban Growth Boundary.
7. Consistency with other applicable criteria for the boundary change in question under state and
local law.
In previous sections, this report reviewed the proposal's consistency with other applicable criteria
and found it to be consistent.
(Tigard CDC 19.390.060)
4. Any applicable comprehensive plan policies; and
As demonstrated in previous sections of this report, the proposed annexation is consistent with, and
meets, all applicable comprehensive plan policies.
5. Any applicable provisions of the City's implementing ordinances.
There are no specific implementing ordinances that apply to this proposed annexation. Chapter 18 of the
City Code will apply to development of the property.
SECTION VII. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS
The City of Tigard Police and Public Works departments have reviewed the proposal and have no
objections, and have not indicated that the proposed annexation would reduce their capacity to provide
services to the proposed annexation territory or reduce the level of City services. The Long-Range
Planning Division has reviewed the proposal and has no objections. The Engineering Department has
reviewed the proposal and has no objections.
SECTION VIII. AGENCY COMMENTS
Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District, Clean Water Services, Metro,

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Approve Revisions to the Tigard Municipal Code Incorporating a Right-of-Wa:Usage
Fee OV J
Prepared By: Nancy Werner Dept Head Okay City Mgr Okay
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City Council approve amendments to Tigard Municipal Code Chapter 5.14 and Title 15 to incorporate a
right-of-way usage fee and clarify franchise and right-of-way requirements for utilities?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the recommended Code changes.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In discussions with Council on December 13, 2005, May 16, 2006 and July 18, 2006, Council directed staff to draft
amendments to the Tigard Municipal Code to incorporate a right-of-way usage fee and clarify franchise requirements
for all utilities using the rights-of-way. The proposed amendments would:
• Ensure that the City receives compensation for use of City rights-of-way when there is no current, valid
franchise agreement.
• Establish a right-of-way usage fee at the same rate as the current franchise fee, and thus is revenue neutral.
Only utilities with no current franchise agreement will be subject to the new fee.
• Apply to City water and sewer facilities, which will pay a fee of 5% of gross revenues.
• Apply the explicit franchise requirements for telecommunications providers in Chapter 5.14 to all utilities using
the rights-of-way by renumbering these provisions to Chapter 15.06, in Title 15 (Streets and Sidewalks).
• Apply some of the right-of-way use requirements, including permitting and construction standards, for
telecommunications providers in Chapter 5.14 to all construction in the rights-of-way by renumbering
applicable provisions to Chapter 15.04 (Work in Right-of-Way).
• Renumber the "Driveway Approaches and Curb Cuts" provisions, currently in Chapter 15.04, to a new Chapter
15.10 because they are not directly applicable to the right-of-way regulations in Chapter 15.04.
These amendments should not have a significant impact on existing franchisees, which will continue to be bound to
their franchise agreements. For those utilities with no current franchise, the amendments clarify the right-of-way
regulations the utility must follow, including payment of the right-of-way usage fee and permitting and construction
requirements. The proposed amendments were distributed to utilities for their review and the comments received by
staff have been reviewed and incorporated where appropriate.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not amend the Code.
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
The right-of-way usage fee would contribute to the Council Goal to "Stabilize Financial Picture" and the Tigard Beyond
Tomorrow goal to "Identify and Develop Funding Resources" for Transportation and Traffic by ensuring continued
payment for use of the rights-of-way and providing additional revenue (from water and sewer fees) that would be
available to the General Fund, or which could supplement other funding resources for improvements to City streets.
ATTACHMENT LIST
Attachment 1: Proposed Ordinance.
Attachment 2: Proposed new TMC Chapters 15.04, 15.06 and 15.10.
Attachment 3: Verizon Comments on Proposed Ordinance.
FISCAL NOTES
There are no costs associated with the amendments. Implementing the right-of-way usage fee could generate
additional revenues estimated at $287,000 from water and sewer.

Subject: Tigard Franchise Utility Ordinance (Revised 8/08/06) Nancy L. Werner
Right-of-Way Administrator
City of Tigard
Dear Nancy,
I request that the following language be entered into the record at the August 8, 2006 Tigard City
Council meeting:
It is the understanding of Clean Water Services that adoption of the revised Franchise Utility
Ordinance now under consideration by the Tigard City Council will in no way impact the remittances
otherwise due from the City of Tigard to Clean Water Services, under the current Intergovernmental
Agreement between the two parties. It is the District's further understanding that the Franchise Fee
and Right-of-Way Usage Fee (specifically sections 15.06.090 and 15.06.100) do not apply and will not
be applied to Clean Water Services.
Thank you and the Tigard City Council for your consideration of this important matter.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RENUMBERING TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 5.14 AND TITLE 15 TO INCORPORATE A RIGHT-OF-WAY USAGE FEE AND
CLARIFY FRANCHISE AND RIGHT-OF-WAY USE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL UTILITIES
WHEREAS, the City has the obligation to manage its rights-of-way for the benefit and protection of
its residents; and
WHEREAS, the City and most utilities that use the City rights-of-way have entered into franchise
agreements that regulate use of the rights-of-way and require the payment of franchise fees as
compensation for use of the rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the "Telecommunications Franchise Ordinance" in Chapter 5.14 of the Code sets out the
franchise and right-of-way use requirements for telecommunications carriers; and
WHEREAS, recently several telecommunications carriers have refused to enter into new franchise
agreements; and
WHEREAS, it is important to have specific language in the Code to clarify the City's existing authority
to receive compensation for use of the rights-of-way in the absence of a current, valid franchise
agreement;
WHEREAS, Chapter 15.04, "Work in the Right-of-Way," references a franchise requirement for other
utilities using the rights-of-way, but does not specify the franchise and right-of-way use requirements;
and
WHEREAS, the City desires to adopt consistent standards and regulations for use of the rights-of-way
and to place these standards and regulations in the appropriate Title and Chapter in the Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF TIGARD ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Chapters 5.14 and Title 15 of the Tigard Municipal Code are amended and
renumbered as shown in Attachment A to, this Ordinance. (Strike-through text is

Meeting Date August 8, 2006
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Approve Revisions to the Tigard Municipal Code Incorporating a Right-of-Way
Preservation and Restoration Poli
Prepared By: Nancy Werner Dept Head Okay City Mgr Okay l
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should Council amend the Tigard Municipal Code to clarify regulations for construction in the right-of-way and add a
right-of-way preservation and restoration policy that would limit street cuts on newly constructed, reconstructed or
improved streets and require complete restoration when protected streets have to be cut?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the recommended Code changes.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In a discussion with Council May 16, 2006, Council directed staff to draft amendments to the Tigard Municipal Code to
incorporate aright-of-way preservation and restoration policy and to clarify the regulations for construction in the
rights-of-way. The proposed amendments would:
• Improve the service life and protect City streets by limiting street cuts for 4 years on newly constructed,
reconstructed or improved streets.
• Improve coordination of construction and prevent multiple large projects on a street within a 12 month period
by limiting street cuts on any street, regardless of age, within 400 feet of a major utility installation or upgrade
that occurred within the last 12 months.
• Allow cuts on streets subject to the protections listed above for (1) emergencies, (2) small cuts necessary to
locate existing utilities when boring under the street, and (3) when there is no other feasible way to provide
service.
• When cuts are made in a protected street, allow the City Engineer to impose conditions determined to be
appropriate to completely restore the street and pavement surface. Conditions may include surface grinding,
base and sub-base repairs, or similar work, and may include up to a full-width surface paving of the
roadway.
• Ensure that all construction in the right-of-way is regulated by the same provisions of the Code.
The proposed amendments were distributed to utilities for their review. Staff met with several utilities to discuss the
amendments, and made changes in response to comments from utilities, including changing the length of the cut
limitation from 5 years to 4 years and requiring the City Engineer to develop guidelines for determining when an
exception should be granted and what the restoration requirements should be.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not amend the Code.
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
The recommended Code amendments would contribute to the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow goals of "Improve Traffic
Safety" and "Improve Traffic Flow." The purposes of the right-of-way preservation and restoration policy and the
other amendments are to improve the management of the City's rights-of-way, reduce the delays and safety issues
associated with lane closures, and to improve the quality and service life of City streets.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Tom Coffee, Community Development Director 5~
RE: Commercial Signage at the Library
DATE: August 3, 2006
On July 11, 2006, the City Council held a public hearing on DCA 2006-00002 Incidental
Commercial Uses in Cultural Institutions. This Development Code amendment would
establish incidental commercial uses as permitted uses in cultural institutions that may be
located in residential areas. This amendment would also specifically allow limited signage at
the Library for the coffee shop facility that was planned and included in the building at the
public's request.
The Council continued the hearing to August 8, 2006 to allow time for staff to contact the
prospective vendor of the shop to determine if the proposed sign location and size
limitations would be of concern to the new shop operator. Staff has learned that a lease
agreement with the Fireside Coffee Lodge was signed on June 27, 2006. Staff who

issue for 'the Lessee. The Lessee did inquire about a temporary "opening" sign which is
permitted for up to 30 days. Signage is also allowed within the building under current code

Issue/Agenda Title Legislative Public Hearing- Incidental Commercial Uses in Cultural Institutions Code Amendment
PCA 2006-00002)
Prepared By. Sean Fanelly Dept Head Okay G OtyMgr Okay U1
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council approve the requested Development Code Amendment to allow incidental and subordinate
commercial uses in Cultural Institutions and create a category of Cultural Institution Auxiliary Signs?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving the requested Development Code Amendment by adopting the attached ordinance
and text amendments (Attachment 1), as recommended by motion of the City of Tigard Planning Commission.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The proposed amendment would clarify the status of a cafe that occupies the space in the Tigard Library by
allowing incidental and subordinate uses in Cultural Institutions. A new category of Cultural Institution Auxiliary
Signs would be created with strict limits. Only one sign is allowed and is limited to 4 square feet per face. The sign
must be either within an existing free standing sign, or a wall sign, consistent in structure and materials with any
existing wall sign on the Cultural Institution.
Staff drafted proposed changes to amend the Use Chapter (18.130) and Sign Chapter (18.780) of the Tigard
Community Development Code. Notice procedures in the development code, including publication of notice in the
paper, and written notice to the appropriate agencies were met. On June 5, 2006, the Tigard Planning Commission
held a public hearing on the proposed changes. They recommended approval of the amendment by a unanimous
vote (Attachment 2).
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None were considered.

REPORTS
Commissioner Caffall reported that the Transportation Financing Task Force has been
discussing the Hwy. 99W corridor improvements. When. the improvements are under
construction, they will try to eliminate some of the entry and exit ways along 99W to help
improve traffic flow. The system development program is moving quickly. The grant for the
Hwy. 99W improvements is scheduled to be complete by June in, however it most likely will be
delayed. The Task Force also discussed Greenburg Road and the proposal to realign Center
Street. The Burnham Street projects are all funded and ready to go. The Task Force will
approach Council for a 34 gas tax to help fund some of-the improvements.
Commissioner Buehner advised that the. City received notice 8 months ago that. the federal -
grant was approved. ODOT is just now developing the work program Evidently, this is the
first time ODOT has done one of these grants and they have to create a process. The
Transportation Financing Task Force has also been discussing the possibility of implementing a
City Traffic Impact Fee.
Commissioner Duling reported that members of the Committee for Citizen Involvement
recently attended neighborhood workshops. Commissioner Duling attended the one at Tigard
High School. She said the meeting was informative.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - June 5, 2006 - Page 1
Commissioner Buehner advised that there have been some changes with the City Center
Advisory Commission. There have been issues with respect to leadership and micromanaging.
The Commission went to mediation last fall to resolve issues with the boundaries for the
Downtown area. Last week, the Commission called for a.vote of no confidence in the
leadership. The Commission voted to replace the Chair and then elected Cad Switzer as the
new Chair. Commissioner Buehner believes there have been some resignations of Commission
members since then, however those that have stayed are very excited about continuing their
work The Commission will hold 2 meetings within the next 2 weeks and report to Council on
June 20th.
Commissioner Munro advised that{SAC members had requested the resignation occur
outside of the Commission. She regrets that members have resigned - they contributed a great
deal of time and effort and were a resource that nobody wanted to lose.
Commissioner Meads noted that the Park and Recreation Advisory Board has not met.
4. APPROVE MEETING MINUTES
It was moved and seconded to approve the May 15, 2006 meeting minutes as submitted. The
motion passed by a vote of 6-0. Commissioner Duling abstained.
5. PUBLIC HEARING
5.1 DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (DCA) 2006-00001 ENTRYWAY
SIGNS CODE AMENDMENT
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Code Amendment
to amend the Sign Code Chapter (18.780) of the Tigard Community Development Code.
The proposed amendment would amend Section 18.780.015 (Definitions).to add a
definition of "Entryway Signs", and Section 1$.780.090 (Special Condition Signs) to allow
Entryway Signs in all zoning districts.. LOCATION: C t}-wide. -ZONE: All zoning
districts. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code
Chapters 18380.020, 18.390.060, 18.780.015 and 18.780.090; Comprehensive Plan
Policies 1 and 2; and Statewide Planning Goal 1 and 2.
STAFF REPORT
Associate Planner Sean Farrelly presented the proposal on behalf of the City. He advised
that installing entryway signs is a part of the City's effort to enhance its sense of identity.
Currently, there are no provisions in the Development Code allowing this type of sign. This
proposal will amend the sign chapter of the Development. Code to add a definition of an
entryway sign. It will also add a Special Condition Signs section, permitting entryway signs
in all districts.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING' MINUTES - June S, 2006 - Page 2
Farrelly advised that the proposal is consistent with the stated purpose of the sign chapter.
There will be a limited number of these signs and they are unlikely to distract motorists -or
create sign clutter. The signs will be erected by the City along public roads at entrypoints
into the City to promote the City's image and sense of identity. He said staff recommends
the Planning Commission approve the proposal and make a final recommendation to
Council.
Staff provided the following answers in response to questions and comments from
Commissioner Meads:
■ The City is not proposing to replace existing entryway signs. These will be additional
signs. The entryway signs will be more like a monument style.
■ At this point, it's unknown how many signs will be installed. They will be installed
. along roads at prominent entry points into the City.
■ Staff has not seen any plans yet for the signs. At this point, it is unknown how large
the signs will be or what the graphics will look like. The signs will most likely have
the City logo, with the words, "Now Entering the City of Tigard".
■ It is unknown what the exact cost will be. The signs will be paid from the Public
Works budget. If there isn't funding for the signs, they won't be installed. Cost is
not an issue with regard to changing the code.
Commissioner Meads noted that all signs are a distraction - the point of having a sign is to
draw people's attention to it.. She also believes that installing more signs is adding to the
proliferation of signs. Staff responded that the plan is to just have them at prominent points
in the City - it may just be a handful of signs. This is a part of the br-anding process for the
City.
Commissioner Caffall asked if this proposal wasn't premature.. We don't know the size,
location, what the signs will look like, or how they will be paid for. He would prefer if staff
came with more information - perhaps even a prototype. How can he justify voting for
something that he hasn't seen? Staff. responded that the City just does not know the answers
at this point, but the Public Works Department will come up with a design that's acceptable
to City Council.
Commissioner Duling asked about standards for the signs - will they be alike or similar?
This is unknown at this point.
Commissioner Buehner advised that she has attended Council meetings when this issue has
come up. Council has general idea about the size of the sign and what it would say. She
thinks Council plans to install signs at 5-6 locations. Council is still finalizing their plans.
President Inman asked if the signs would be more of an entryway monument vs. a regular
sign. Staff answered yes. It would require agreements from property owners to put them on
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - June 5, 2006 - Page 3
private property. President Inman asked if there would be any review process involved.
Staff said. it would be a straight permit process.
Commissioner Munro noted that the Planning Commission acts as an advisory board to
Council. The brand name was adopted by Council. She supports trusting the City and
agrees that the Council will make sure funding is available. She stated that the role of the
Commission is to look at this in the context. of making an amendment to the Code, not to
comment on the signs or the budget.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY
None
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Commissioner Buehner moved that the Planning Commission make a recommendation to
Council to approve the amendment of the Development Code, DCA 2006-00001, to amend
the sign code to allow for entryway signs, as presented in the staff report. Commissioner
Munro seconded the motion. The motion.passed bya vote of 5-1. Commissioner Meads
voted no and Commissioner Caffall abstained.
5.2 DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (DCA) 2006-00002 CULTURAL
INSTITUTIONS CODE. AMENDMENT
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Code Amendment
to amend the Use Classifications Chapter (18.130) and the Sign Code Chapter (18.780) of
the Tigard Community Development Code. The proposed amendment would amend the
uses .allowed under Civic Use Types (Section 18.130.0203.4) to allow incidental and
subordinate commercial uses (such as a gift shop, bookstore, and limited food and
beverage services). In addition, a new category "Cultural Institution Auxiliary Signs"
would be created in the Special Condition Signs (Secuon:18 780.090). LOCATION:
Within Cultural Institutions. ZONE: All zones where Cultural Institutions are an -
allowed use. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: CommunityDevelopment Code
Chapters 18.130.020,18.380.020,18.390.060,18.780.015 and 18.780.090; Comprehensive
Plan Policies 1 and 2; and Statewide Planning Goal 1 and 2.
STAFF REPORT
Associate Planner Sean Farrelly presented the proposal on behalf of the City. He advised
that the new public library was designed with lobby space for a cafe to allow limited food
and beverage service, mainly for library patrons and people attending events in the meeting
room. The library is a cultural institution, which is allowed conditionally in the R- 12 zone.
Eating and drinking establishments are not permitted in this zone. This proposed
PLANNING CON NESSION MEETING MINUTES - June 5, 2006 - Page 4
amendment would clarify the standing of the hbrar/s cafe and any similar future situations
by adding subordinate and incidental commercial uses to the definition of cultural
institutions. The proposal would also call for a new sign category in the Special Condition
Signs section of the Development Code. The new category would be called Cultural
Institution Auxiliary Signs and would allow the subordinating use to identify itself while
restricting the size and placement of the sign.
Farrelly reported that accessory uses in cultural institutions are fairly common in other
localities. Amending the definition of cultural institutions to allow these incidental and
subordinate commercial uses would be beneficial to the institutions and the community.
Externalities, such as traffic, are unlikely to be much of an issue because the incidental uses
will serve mainly the patrons of the institutions.
Signs for the auxiliary use will be unobtrusive - the proposal has a limit of one sign per use,
with an area of 4 square feet per face. No new freestanding sign will be allowed: The sign
would have to be placed on an existing freestanding sign or on a wall if it is consistent in
structure and materials.
Staff finds that the amendment meets applicable review criteria and recommends the
Planning Commission approve the proposal and make a final recommendation to City
Council.
Commissioner Duling asked if there was any liability to the Gty for food and beverage
service. Farrelly noted that there would be a detailed contract involved with the vendor.
Jeremy Vermilyea advised that presumably, there are indemnity and insurance requirements
in the contract documents that would protect the City.
Commissioner Buehner asked if this type of use would be allowed in other Qty-owned
buildings. Dick Bewersdorff advised that there was a coffee stand at Gty Hall previously,
but City Hall is in commercial zone. The proposed amendment applies to both commercial
and residential zones.
Commissioner Meads asked why this matter has suddenly come up. Staff answered that-the
City has had problems keeping vendors at the library and they think that a sign will help.
Commissioner Meads asked about the revenue. Staff responded that the City receives a base
rent and a percentage of the profits. It was noted that the cafe is more of a service to
patrons than a money maker for the City.
Staff reported that no other libraries, in Washington County have a cafe, but the new library
planned for Hillsboro will have one.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - June 5, 2006 - Page 5
Commissioner Caffall said no one wants to see a "McDonald's". sign hanging under the
library sign. Staff said the signs would be strictly limited to 4 square feet per sign face. If it's
going to be on the wall, it has to be of matching materials and structure.
Commissioner Munro advised that TriMet has a number of areas where they would like to
have concessionaires. She said that having a.sign is a common strategy and is needed in
order to be competitive.
President Inman asked if there were any other places in the City where this would apply and
wondered if the City should be limiting this type of use. Staff answered that it would have to
be a use that was definitely secondary to the.main. use as a cultural institution. At this time,
this is the only facility involved. Also, cultural institutions are a conditional use in residential
zones, so they would have to go through the conditional use process.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY
None
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Commissioner Munro moved to recommend to Council the amendment to the Development
Code, DCA 2006-00002, to amend the Use Classification Chapter 18.130 and the Sign Code
Chapter 18.780 of the Tigard CommunityDevelopment Code' as per the staff report and
discussions. Commissioner Caffall seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
6. LONG RANGE PLANNING WORK PROGRAM
Long Range Planning Manager Barbara Shields discussed the Long Range Planning program
and the presentations planned for the Planning Commission for the rest of the year (Exhibit A).
She noted that the presentations can be divided into three major groups:
■ Council goals: Comprehensive Plan Update and Downtown. -
■ Other programs, such as affordable housing, transportation, funding, environmental
issues, parks and trails planning.
■ Overall/global context for city planning: what impacts urbanization in America and
how. Tigard relates to the rest of the universe (demographics/immigration, new urban
ideas) economic changes, social changes, sustainability, information; Think
Globally/Plan Locally.
The presenters will be City planners and invited guests. Commissioner Buehner suggested
inviting other boards and committees to attend the presentations. Commissioner Munro
suggested inviting someone from the TriMet Planning Department to speak Shields thinks
this is a brilliant idea.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -June S, 2006 -Page 6
Commissioner Buehner asked about the timeline for the Commuter Rail Station.
Commissioner Munro believes the final funding for the project is set for September or
October. Shields advised that the Planning Commission will be looking at specific design
standards as part of the Downtown Involvement Program.
Shields gave the Commissioners an assignment: between now and.August, take 5-10
pictures that identify what they believe Tigard's sense of place is. Include a short description
with each picture.
Commissioner Buehner suggested Tigard look at allowing taller buildings (3 or 4 stories) to
make more efficient use of space, especially in the Downtown and other commercial areas.
7. OTHER BUSINESS
Commissioner Meads asked about being able to hold discussions in the conference room rather
than in the public setting, much like a jury would do during a trial. Commissioner Buehner
advised that the public meeting law prevents holding discussions in private. Commissioner
Meads would like to see more interactive discussion amongst the Commissioners during
hearings. President Inman agreed that discussions should have a lot more interaction.
Commissioner Duling expressed dismay at the approval of the Arlington Heights subdivision
on Bull Mountain. This project has no parks, no open space, no Bull Mountain Community
Plan, there are also tree removal, steep slopes, erosion, and traffic issues. She wonders how this .
happened. Staff responded that straight subdivisions do not have to go through the Planning
Commission. Commissioner Buehner advised that the PD Review Committee would like to
incorporate a lot of the Planned Development code changes into the Subdivision code.
Commissioner Duling considers this the "rape of Bull Mountain".

SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The new Tigard Public library opened in 2004. As a result of feedback from citizen surveys, the new
library building was designed with lobby space for a cafe to offer limited food and beverage services to
patrons.
The status of a cafe that occupies the space in the Tigard library needs to be clarified. Libraries are
considered Cultural Institutions in the Civic Use category in the Tigard Development Code. Cultural
Institutions are a Conditional Use in the R-12 Zone (which the library is within.) Eating and Drinking
Establishments are Not Permitted uses in the R-12 zone (Table 18.510.1). However, a cafe in a library is
an accessory use, open only during library hours and serving mainly library patrons and people attending
events in the Community Room.
This. proposed amendment would clarify the standing of this cafe as a subordinate auxiliary use to the
main Cultural Institutional use of the library. A wider benefit of this amendment is allowing convenient
services for patrons of Cultural Institutions, as well as supplemental income for public and non-profit
entities. The externalities associated with commercial uses, such as increased traffic, are unlikely to be an
issue because these incidental uses will serve mainly patrons of the institutions.
Accessory uses in cultural institutions have become fairly common in other localities. The main branch of
the Multnomah County library has a gift shop in its lobby. Many museums, such as the Oregon Historical
Society, have gift shops and/or food service located within their buildings.
A new classification, Cultural Institution Auxiliary Signs, is proposed to be created in Chapter 18.780:
Signs. This type of sign would be restricted in size, and would enable the subordinate use to identify itself.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE CRITERIA AND FINDINGS -
Chapter 18.380 states that legislative text amendments shall be undertaken by means of a Type IV
procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.060G.
Chapter 18.390.060G states that the recommendation by the Commission and the decision by the
Council shall be based on consideration of the following factors:
THE STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES ADOPTED UNDER
OREGON REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 197;
Notice was provided to DLCD 45 days prior to the first scheduled public hearing as required. In addition;
the Tigard Development Code and Comprehensive Plan have been acknowledged by DLCD. The
following Statewide Planning Goals are applicable to this proposal:
Statewide Planning Goal 1- Citizen Involvement:
This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and for
DCA2006-00002/ CODE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW INCIDENTAL AND SUBORDINATE COMMERCIAL USES IN CULTURAL
INSTITUTIONS PAGE 2 OF 5
changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents. This goal has been met by complying
with the Tigard Development Code notice requirements set forth in Cha ter 18.390. Notice has been
ublished in the Tigard Times Newspaper rior to the public hearing. Two Tublic Hearings are being held
one before the Planning Commissinnil the second before the City Council) in which public inut is
welcome.
Statewide Planning Goal 2 - Land Use Planning:
This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework. The Comprehensive Plan was
acknowledged by DLCD as being consistent with the statewide plannin goals. The Development Code
implements the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code establishes a process for and policies to
review changes to the Development Code consistent with Goal 2. The City's plan pprovides analysis and
policies with which to evaluate a request for amending the Code consistent with Goal 2.
APPLICABLE METRO REGULATIONS:
There are no applicable Metro regulations that this amendment directly impacts.
APPLICABLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES:
Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1: General Policies
This policy states that all future legislative changes shall be consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals
and the Regional Plan adopted by Metro. As indicated above under the individual Statewide and Regional
Plan goals applicable to this proposed amendment, the amendment is consistent with the Statewide Goals
and the Regional Plan.
Comprehensive Plan Policies 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3.: Citizen Involvement
These policies state that the City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement program, provide
opportunities for citizen involvement appropriate to the scale of the planning effort and that information
on land use planning issues shall be available in understandable form for all interested citizens.
This policy is satisfied because notice of the Planning Commission public hearing was published in the
Tigard Times on May 18, 2006. Notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing.
The written notices invited public input and included the phone number of a contact person to answer
any questions. The information was written in plain, understandable language that avoided jargon.'
APPLICABLE PROVISION OF THE CITY'S IMPLEMENTING ORDINANCES.
Tigard Development Code Sectiorrl8.130
This chapter classifies uses into a limited number of use types on the basis of common characteristics, to
provide a basis for the regulation of uses in accordance with criteria which are directly relevant to the
public. interest.
Cultural Institutions is a classification under Civic Type Uses. Amending the definition to allow incidental
and subordinate commercial uses would be beneficial to the institutions and the community. The
externalities associated with commercial uses (traffic, etc.) are unlikely to be an issue because the
incidental uses will serve mainly patrons of the institutions. The uses will operate during the times the
Cultural Institution is open.
As Cultural Institutions are conditional uses in Residential zones any new public institution with a
subordinate commercial use would have to address the impact on the surrounding neighborhood during
the application process.

6/5/06 PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
Tigard Development Code Chapter 18380: Zoning Map and Text Amendments
This chapter sets forth the standards and process governing legislative and quasi-judicial amendments to
this tide and zoningg district map. Legislative zoning map and text amendments shall be undertaken by
means of a Type N procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.060G. Therefore, the proposed text
amendments to the Tigard Development Code will be reviewed under the Type N legislative procedure
as set forth in the chapter.
Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.390: Decision-Making Procedures
This chapter establishes standard decision-making procedures for reviewing applications. The
amendment under consideration will be reviewed under the Type N legislative procedure as detailed in
the chapter. Section 18.390.060G states that the recommendation by the Commission and the decision by
the Council shall be based on consideration of the following factors (reviewed above), including- 1)
Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines, 2) applicable federal of state statues of regulations, 3) applicable
METRO regulations, 4) applicable comprehensive plan policies, and 5) applicable provisions of the City's
implementing ordinances.
Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.780: Signs
This chapter establishes procedures and criteria for erecting signage within the City. The purpose of the
sign regulations is:
1. To protect the health, safety, property and welfare of the public;
2. To promote the neat, clean, orderly and attractive appearance of the community;
3. To accommodate the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances to nearby properties;
4. To insure for safe construction, location, erection and maintenance of signs;
5. To prevent proliferation of signs and sign clutter; and
6. To minimize distractions for motorists on public highways and streets.
This proposal for Cultural Institution Auxiliary Signs is consistent with the stated purpose. Such a sign
would allow an incidental commercial use in a Cultural Institution to identify itself. It is possible that the
sign could attract a passing motorist to the use. However, since the subordinate use is only open when the
institution is open, significant additional traffic is not likely to be generated by such a sign.
Any signs that are erected would be unobtrusive, since the proposal limits the sign area to 4 square feet
per face. If a wall sign is erected it must be consistent in structure and materials with any existing wall sign
on the Cultural Institution.
SECTION V. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS
The City of Tigard's Long Range Planning Division, Building Division, Community
Development Department, Police Department, and Public Works have had an opportunity to review
this proposal and have no objections.
SECTION VI. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS
The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, Metro, Oregon Department of
Transportation, Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation, and the
Planning Directors of the cities of Durham, King City, Lake Oswego, Portland, and Tualatin,

A NEW CHAPTER 7.38 - TRUANCY
Prepared By: Chief Bill Dickinson Dept Head Approval: GVWW City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City Council amend the TMC to add a new Chapter 7.38 - Truancy?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this amendment.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
• It is in the interest of the City and the community to encourage regular school attendance by children 7 to 18
years old.
• State law requires regular attendance; however, there is no fine or penalty attached to a child failing to regularly
attend school.
• The King City Council passed this ordinance last week, and the Tigard-Tualatin School District has adopted
this language as a district wide policy. The Cities of Tigard, King City and Tualatin, as well as the Tigard-
Tualatin School District agree that special circumstances exist that call for special regulation of minors in order
to protect them from being victimized and to enhance the overall public safety of the community.
• At this time, when an officer contacts a minor who should be in school, there is no authority for the officer to
return the minor to school or to place the minor in the custody of his/her parents or guardian.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. Not amend the Tigard Municipal Code.
2. Study the issue further.
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
Under "Other Important Goals for 2006" - Connect Council with students in schools. Council will be directly

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Transportation Financing Strate 'es Task Force New Funding Source Recommendations
Prepared By: A.P. Duenas Dept Head Okay City Mgr Okay C.
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Task Force recommendations to Council are for establishment of a 3-cent local gas tax with the proposed
improvements to Greenburg Road as the initial project for implementation. Council direction will be requested for the
Task Force to proceed with development of an ordinance to establish the tax and to bring the ordinance back for
Council review and approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That Council provide direction to the Task Force and City staff to develop an ordinance establishing a 3-cent local gas
tax and to bring the draft ordinance back to Council for discussion and eventual adoption.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force is recommending establishment of a 3-cent local gas tax as a new
funding source for major street projects. The improvements to the Greenburg Road/Highway99W/Main Street
recommended in the Greenburg Road Alternatives Analysis Report presented to Council at the April 18, 2006 and May
16, 2006 Council meetings is recommended as the initial project for implementation.
Attached is a memorandum from the Task Force recommending establishment of a local gas tax aimed at alleviating
traffic congestion on Highway 99W and selecting the proposed improvements to the Greenburg Road/Main Street
intersection with Highway 99W as the initial project. A 5-year sunset clause with option to renew prior to the end of
that period subject to selection of other high priority projects for continuation of the tax. The Task Force requests
Council direction to proceed with development of a draft ordinance with the intention of establishing the local gas tax
by the fall of this year. If provided with that direction, the Task Force will contact the gas stations in Tigard to discuss
the proposed local gas tax and to ensure that they are fully aware of the proposed action.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
Traffic circulation improvements at the Greenburg Road/Highway 99W/Main Street intersection address the Council
Goal to "Improve 99W Corridor." These improvements also support the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow Transportation
and Traffic goals of "Improve Traffic Flow" and "Improve Traffic Safety."
ATTACHMENT LIST
Task Force Memorandum to Council dated July 25, 2006
Attachment to the Memorandum: Report-SW Greenburg Road/Highway99W Intersection Improvement Project
FISCAL NOTES
A 3-cent local gas tax is expected to produce revenue of approximately $900,000 to $1,000,000 annually. The
improvements to the Greenburg Road/Highway 99W/Main Street intersection are estimated at $3,500,000. Revenues
of up to $5,000,000 over a 5-year period would be sufficient to fund the initial project, plus one or more smaller scale
projects during the 5-year period. The Task Force recommendation is for a sunset clause to be included in the
ordinance, with option to renew contingent upon selection of other high priority projects for implementation.

TO: Mayor and City Councilors
FROM: Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force

RE: Task Force Recommendations for a Local Gas Tax
and Initial Project for Implementation
DATE: July 25, 2006
Background
The Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force met with City Council on February 15,
2005 and again on July 26, 2005 to discuss the implementation of a local gas tax aimed at
funding high priority major street improvements. At the July 26, 2005 meeting, the Task Force
recommended establishment of a 3-cent local gas tax to alleviate traffic congestion on Highway
99W by design and construction of one or more high priority projects along the highway
corridor through Tigard. A 3-cent gas tax is expected to produce revenue of approximately
$900,000 to $1,000,000 annually and up to $5.0 million dollars over a 5-year period.
Since then, the Greenburg Road Alternatives Analysis project has been completed with
recommended improvements to the Greenburg Road/Highway 99W/Main Street intersection.
The report was presented to City Council initially on April 18, 2006 with further discussion at
the May 16, 2006 Council meeting. Improvement of the Greenburg Road intersection with
Highway 99W makes a great deal of sense because of the Hall Boulevard/Highway 99W
Improvement Project currently in the design stage. This project would complement the
Hall/99W project to improve traffic circulation on both Hall Boulevard and Highway 99W and
to enhance entry into the Tigard Downtown area. Council consensus at the May 16th meeting is
that construction of the improvements in tandem with the Hall Boulevard/Highway 99W
Intersection project would be extremely desirable and that the project is important enough to
merit selection as the initial project funded through a local gas tax.
Greenburg Road/Highway 99W/Main Street Intersection Improvements
Attached is a report that summarizes the existing conditions, the proposed improvements on
each leg of the intersection, and the expected impacts of the project. The report provides a cost
estimate for project design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of the improvements.
The total estimated cost is approximately $3.5 million in 2006 dollars. This project can be
funded through a local gas tax and can be designed and constructed during the next 3 to 4
years. o
Task Force Recommendations
The Task Force recommends that Council establish a 3-cent local gas tax with improvements to
the Greenburg Road/Highway 99W/Main Street intersection as the initial project. The Task
Force further recommends that the local gas tax include a 5-year sunset clause, with an option
to extend the tax term prior to sunsetting, contingent upon selection of additional high priority
projects for implementation. The Task Force requests Council direction to work with City staff
in the development of the proposed ordinance. The entire process can be scheduled during the
next few months with the goal of having a local gas tax in place by the fall of this year. If
Council direction is to proceed with the ordinance, the tentative schedule is to discuss the draft
ordinance with Council at the September 19, 2006 workshop session, after which it would be
submitted for Council consideration and approval at the October 10, 2006 business meeting. In
addition, the Task Force will contact the gas stations in Tigard to discuss the proposed local tax
and to ensure that they are fully aware of the proposed action and the tentative schedule for
implementation.
The Highway 99W Corridor Improvement and Management Plan is expected to produce a
package of high priority projects for consideration during the next few years. Those projects
and other major street improvement projects can be reviewed during the project selection
phase for future implementation. The Task Force is prepared to take the lead in developing the
public involvement plan for the project selection at the appropriate time when the high priority
projects are identified and Council provides direction to move ahead with that process.

Introduction
This narrative describes the process and assumptions used to develop a conceptual plan and cost
estimate for improving the Highway 99W/Greenburg Road intersection. The plan and estimate
are based on the short term upgrades recommended in a Draft Memorandum titled "Tigard OR
99W/SW Greenburg Road Alternatives Study" prepared by DKS Associates dated December
15, 2006. The plan was further refined during a field visit with Randy McCourt, DKS, and a
meeting with Gus Duenas held June 16, 2006. The proposed improvements are summarized as
follows:
• Additional eastbound through lane on Highway 99W that will connect to the 3rd through
lane that will be constructed at the Highway 99W/Hall Boulevard intersection. The
proposed work at the Greenburg intersection will extend this lane about 500 feet west of the
intersection.
• Greenburg Road approach conversion to include dedicated left turn lane.
• Main Street approach conversion to add dedicated left turn lane.
• Conversion of the traffic signal to protected phasing north/south on Main/Greenburg from
split phasing.
The area reviewed for this narrative consists of the portions of SW Greenburg Road, Main
Street, Highway 99W, and adjacent properties that will be directly impacted by the proposed
traffic lane improvements. This includes SW Greenburg Road beginning approximately 500 feet
north of Highway 99W, Main Street between Highway 99W and Scoffins, and approximately
950 feet of Highway 99W, extending west from the end of the proposed lane addition for the
Hall Boulevard Intersection Improvements.
The following summarizes alignment alternatives that were reviewed, and lists existing and
proposed conditions for each street. Drawings detailing proposed typical sections are included
with this narrative. The budget level cost estimate for construction, preliminary engineering,
construction engineering, and right-of-way acquisition is based on the entire project. Estimated
costs for right of way acquisition were supplied by the City.
Alignment Alternatives
As part of the Traffic Analysis, DKS reviewed options for partially closing the Main
Street/Highway 99/Greenburg intersection by extending Main Street to connect to Hall
Boulevard. This option was rejected due to lack of capacity at the Hall Boulevard/Highway
99W intersection.
Otak reviewed options for creating an intersection angle closer to 90 degrees by curving
Greenburg toward Highway 99W. While this improved the Greenburg portion of the
intersection, the corresponding realignment of Main Street shifted it significantly toward the
west, substantially reducing the Gateway Area identified in the Downtown Streetscape Design
Plan. This alignment also crossed a steep slope that would result in steeper roadway grades and
driveway connections, as well as limit accessibility. This option was rejected due to impacts and
grading issues.

The preferred option and associated cost estimates are based on the short term lane
improvements as listed above from the DKS Memo, with little change to the general intersection
configuration, as shown on the attached plan.
OR Highway 99W
Existing Conditions
• Classification: Arterial (City and Washington County); State Highway (ODOT)
• Lane Configuration, east of Greenburg: Northbound right turn, westbound bike lane, two
westbound through lanes, left turn, and two eastbound through lanes.
• Lane Configuration, west of Greenburg: Westbound bike lane, two westbound through
lanes, left turn, two eastbound through lanes, east bound bike lane.
• Design Speed: 35 mph
• Sidewalks:
o Primarily curbtight between Greenburg and Hall.
o No sidewalk on south side of Highway 99 west of Greenburg. This area is curbed, with a
guardrail installed above a steep slope.
o Curbtight ending approximately 150 feet west of Greenburg on the north side of
Highway 99.
~.w
Proposed Improvements
• Complete eastbound bike lane.
• One eastbound through lane to be added. This lane to end approximately 500 feet west of
Greenburg, and will be an extension of the proposed additional lane that will be constructed
as part of the Hall Boulevard Intersection Improvements.
• Curb on north side of roadway to remain.
• All roadway widening to take place on south side.
• Lane widths to match those proposed for the Hall Boulevard /Highway 99W Intersection
Improvement.
• Sidewalk on south side, east of Greenburg to be widened to twelve feet.
• Sidewalk on north side, west of Greenburg, to be widened to twelve feet. Length of sidewalk
to match existing condition.

otak
V:\PRO]ECT\13300\13381A\Archives\Outgoing\to city 062706\99_Greenburg Narratives062706.doc
• A retaining wall to be constructed on south side of Highway 99W, west of Greenburg, to
reduce impacts to the Gateway Area adjacent to Main Street and commercial buildings
located near the west end of the proposed lane extension. Exposed height will vary between
approximately 3 to 18 feet. A curb and guardrail, but no sidewalk, will be constructed in this
area.
• Right-of-Way: Acquisition area based on providing a 1.5 foot width behind sidewalks. Near
the northeast corner of the intersection, it is assumed that a roof overhang on a commercial
building will be modified or removed, and the sidewalk will be constructed against the
building.
• Pavement Section: 10.5-inches Level 3,1/2-inch HMAC over 13-inches Aggregate Base, on
subgrade geotextile. This section matches what is proposed for the Hwy 99W portion of the
Hall Boulevard Intersection Improvement. The cost estimate also assumes grinding and
replacing existing remaining pavement for a 4-inch thick depth. West of Greenburg,
grinding/replacement is assumed to extend between the centerline of the road for the length
of the south side widening and north side sidewalk improvements. East of Greenburg,
grinding/replacement is assumed to extend for the full width of Highway 99W for the length
of the southside widening.
SW Main Street (between Scoffins and Highway 99)
Existing Conditions
• Classification: Collector (City)
• Lane Configuration: Right turn lane, combination left turn and northbound through lane,
southbound through lane. There is one widened area in each direction for bus turnouts, and
a raised median for access control.
• Design Speed: 20 mph, with up to 4 percent superelevation.
• Sidewalks:
o Curbtight on south side.
o No sidewalk on north side (a separated path crosses the Gateway Area between the
intersection at Highway 99W and Scoffins).

Proposed Improvements
• Add bike lanes in both directions, and extend to Scoffins.
• Add dedicated left turn lane.
• Curb on south/east side of roadway to remain.
• All roadway widening to take place on north/west side. North half of roadway, including
raised median, to be fully reconstructed
• Sidewalk on south/east side to be curbtight, and widened to 12 feet with street trees.
• Right-of-Way: Acquisition area based on providing a 1.5 foot width behind sidewalk. The
current Main Street configuration and the Gateway Area appear to be within ODOT right of
way. An interagency agreement between the City and ODOT will likely be needed for
construction within this area. Purchase of right-of-way is anticipated to be limited to narrow
strips on the south/east side of Main Street.
• The widened roadway areas currently used for bus stops will remain.
• Pavement Section: 8-inches Level 3,1/2-inch HMAC over 14-inches Aggregate Base, on
subgrade geotextile. This section matches what is proposed for the Hall Boulevard
Intersection Improvement. The cost estimate also assumes grinding and replacing existing
remaining pavement for a 4-inch thick depth, for the entire length between Highway 99W
and Scoffns.
SW Greenburg Road
Existing Conditions
• Classification: Arterial (City and Washington County)
• Lane Configuration: Right turn lane, combination left turn and southbound through lane,

Proposed Improvements
• Add bike lanes in both directions, and extend to match existing bike lanes approximately 500
feet north of intersection.
• Add dedicated left turn lane.
• Extend right turn lane to provide 500 foot total length.
• Curb and sidewalk on east side of roadway to remain.
• All roadway widening to take place on west side.
• Sidewalk on west side between Center Street and Highway 99W to be curbtight, and widened
to 12 feet with street trees.
• Sidewalk on west side between Center Street and north end of improvements to be
curbtight, and 8-feet wide with street trees.
• Right-of-Way: Acquisition area is based on providing a 1.5 foot width behind sidewalk. In
addition to this area to be acquired for the roadway, it is assumed that the eastern portion of
the strip development building (approximately 44-feet long) located at the northwest corner
of Greenburg/Highway 99W will be removed, and that the entire property located at the
northwest corner of Greenburg/Center Street will be purchased. This property is occupied
by a residential building that has been converted to commercial use.
• Pavement Section: 8-inches Level 3, 1/2-inch HMAC over 14-inches Aggregate Base, on
subgrade geotextile. This section matches what is proposed for the Hall Boulevard
Intersection Improvement. The cost estimate also assumes grinding and replacing existing
remaining pavement for a 4-inch thick depth, for the length of the proposed widening.
General Items
• Stormwater: New conveyance systems will be constructed within the widened roadway areas.
Runoff collected in these systems will be treated within water quality manholes located
behind the sidewalk, then will be discharged to existing systems adjacent to the project. It is
assumed that detention will not be required, and that one treatment manhole will be located
within the Gateway Area, and the other near the intersection of Greenburg Road and Center
Street.
• Landscaping will consist primarily of street trees placed within tree grates in 12-foot wide
sidewalks and in open tree wells for 8-foot wide sidewalks. An irrigation system is not
included.

COUNQL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Amendment of Intergovernmental Agreements with Washington County (Urban Planning Area
Agreement and Tigard Urban Services Agreement) j~
CI.
Prepared By. Tom Coffee Dept Head Approval L~- City Mgr Approvah Y i
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the City Council approve amendments to the Urban Planning Area and the Tigard Urban Services Agreements
with Washington County?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the proposed amendments and authorize the Mayor to sign the amended agreements.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
During Washington County's review of the proposed incorporation of Bull Mountain, the County Attorney determined
that provisions in the Urban Planning Area Agreement and the Tigard Urban Services Agreement could provide a basis
for legal challenges to the incorporation process. As a result, City staff was asked if the City would support amendments
to the agreements to remove the conflicting language. In study sessions and at its business meeting on July 18, 2006 the
City Council indicated that, consistent with its position that it would not raise procedural objections to the
incorporation process, it would approve the proposed amendments.
The amendment of the Urban Planning Area Agreement adds a new Section IV. D. which states:
In the event the urban unincorporated territory in the Bull Mountain area is incorporated into a new city,
the COUNTY and the CITY will amend the language of the Urban Planning Agreement and revise the
Urban Planning Area Boundary (Exhibit A) as may be necessary to exclude the newly incorporated city.
The amendment of the Tigard Urban Services Agreement adds a new Section VIII. F. which states:
In the event a new city is formed, the parties to this AGREEMENT shall consider any modifications or
amendments to this AGREEMENT as may be necessary to assure ongoing compliance with ORS 195
and any other applicable state laws.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
None
COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT
Council Goal: Clarify City's Position on the Provision of Urban Services to Unincorporated Areas and in the Best
Interests of the Citizens of Tigard.
