fFIFTH TUESDAY MEETING - August 29, 2006
Present: Mayor Dirksen
Councilor Sherwood
Councilor Wilson
Councilor Woodruff
Facilitator: Basil Christopher
Staff: Carol Krager
Citizens: John Frewing, 7110 SW Lola Lane, Tigard
Gretchen Buchner, 13249 SW 136t' Place, Tigard
Andrew Storment, 15367 SW 82"a Place, Tigard
Press: Barbara Sherman
The meeting started at 7:04 p.m. Citizen Facilitator Christopher welcomed everyone to the
meeting. Mayor Dirksen explained the Fifth Tuesday meeting process and the role of the
citizen facilitator.
PARKS SDC - Mr. John Frewing urged the Council to update the Parks SDC's as soon as
possible. He said he is concerned that the City is losing money everyday because the rates are
too low and based on out of date data. He said we are two months into the fiscal year and
already the prices that were paid for parks are 20% above the average of the numbers in the
methodology which he feels is out of date. He suggested there be a change to the update
methodology rather than a complete review.
Councilor Sherwood noted that she has mixed feelings about increasing charges because of
the affordable housing issue. She said there is a need for parks but she doesn't want to keep
driving up housing prices.
Councilor Wilson said that while rates were nearly doubled and money is in the account, we
can't spend some funds unless they are matched with our own funds. He suggested a bond
measure or other source would help the City match this money. Mr. Frewing expressed
support for a bond measure.
Mayor Dirksen mentioned Metro's Open Spaces bond measure which will be on the
November ballot and noted he agreed to add his name to the list of supporters, although he
and other mayors were disappointed with the parcel selection process. He said he hoped
more land would be identified that was inside the Urban Growth Boundary.
Councilor Woodruff suggested that Parks staff could examine the current formula and
determine if it is still reasonable. They could also consider whether there would be support
for changing the update procedure.
Gretchen Buchner noted that many citizens and even City committee members don't
understand how the Tigard Parks SDC's are used. She asked if it would be appropriate to do
a Cityscape article explaining the formula. Councilor Sherwood noted that some articles
were written recently in response to parks questions raised by residents living on Bull
.
Mountain. She agreed that this is a complex issue many people don't understand.
ACTION ITEMS:
0 Parks staff should do a study - is Tigard's Parks SDC methodology keeping
pace? Should the update procedure be changed?
0 Publish a Cityscape article explaining the SDC formula to the public.
BAN OF ALCOHOL IN PARKS - Andrew Storment, of Boy Scout Troop 423 is
working on a merit badge and needed to interview public officials on an issue. He chose the
recently passed ban on alcohol in certain city parks as his discussion issue.
Question 1: How did the alcohol ban come about?
Mayor Dirksen said there were citizen concerns about public drinking in some parks. This
ban is a tool to help prevent unwanted behavior and loitering. He mentioned that Tigard
was the only city in the Portland metropolitan area that did not have such a ban and the
Council did not want Tigard parks to become a destination for this activity.
Councilor Sherwood said there are people living in camps in the parks. The landscaping is
conducive to this activity because of heavy brush and blackberry cover. She said a lot of this
is due to chronic homelessness and mentioned that pushing people from one area will just
move them into another area unless the underlying cause is addressed. She mentioned that a
local agency, Luke-Dorf, has an outreach person that goes out to talk to people living in the
parks to offer information on services and resources available to them. She suggested that
Neighborhood Watch walks be started along some of the park trails.
Mayor Dirksen noted that this ban would not solve the problem; it is just another tool for
the City to help discourage undesirable activities in public areas.
Question 2: How many votes did it take to pass the ban?
Mayor Dirksen said there were five votes; it passed unanimously.
Question 3: How many people had complained about the use of alcohol in city parks?
Councilor Wilson said the City receives 2-3 complaints per week. Councilor Sherwood said
it was enough for the Council to see that this is a problem they needed to do something
about.
ACTION ITEMS:
• Talk to ODOT about cutting brush and berry bushes on land they control.
Keep brush trimmed in City parks.
• Start Neighborhood Watch Walks in secluded neighborhood parks. Regular
walks on trails may discourage gatherings and camps.
Mayor Dirksen reported that the deadline for Council candidate filing had passed this week
and he was running unopposed for reelection. He said Councilor Sherwood is running for
reelection on the City Council and Councilor Wilson had chosen not to run for reelection.
He noted that audience member Gretchen Buehner is also running for Council.
As there were no other discussion items or citizens wishing to speak, the meeting was
adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
