EXHIBIT 'A'
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
1. OVERVIEW
According to the city's Citizen Attitude Survey conducted in the fall of 2007, the number one
concern of Tigard citizens is traffic congestion. For years Tigard residents have expressed growing
impatience with increased congestion on Highway 99W, Scholls Ferry Rd., Hall Boulevard,
Greenburg Rd., Durham Rd., Walnut St., and many other thoroughfares. In response, one of the
City Council's goals for 2008 addresses this issue as follows:
1. Pursue opportunities to reduce traffic congestion in Tigard.
• Pursue immediate low-cost projects to improve traffic flow.
• Explore light rail on 99W.
• Promote an access control study of 99W.
• Continue the I-5/99W connector project.
• Continue state and regional advocacy for transportation improvements in Tigard.
2. OBJECTIVES
A. Monitor County, Regional, State, and Federal activity regarding transportation funding.
B. Advise Tigard on how to position itself to receive additional transportation funding.
C. Advise Tigard on how to win approval for High Capacity Transit (Light Rail) to serve the
City and beyond.
D. Alert the City when and where elected/ appointed officials are needed to represent the city
in meetings or hearings regarding transportation funding and issues.

• STUDY SESSION
- Discussion with Policy Consultant Geoff Larkin regarding Transportation Issues/Light Rail
Discussion key points:
• City Manager Prosser introduced Consultant Geoff Larkin retained to work with the
City of Tigard on light rail issues. In the budget this year, money was included to
hire a consultant to help us work on light rail issues. Council's goal is to start
working towards getting light rail down 99W. Mr. Larkin has been around the
region a long time. Mr. Larkin has agreed to work with the City of Tigard to help us
figure out what we need to do and how to position ourselves to work with TriMet,
our regional partners, federal government and state government to advocate for light
radon Barbur Boulevard and 99W. CityManager Prosser reviewed Mr. Larkin's
extensive background on light rail projects for the region.

Qtyof Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 1 of 20
• Mr. Larkin said he has a long background in high-capacity transit and light rail
specifically. He has worked on all of the light-rail projects in the Portland region.
• Mr. Larkin outlined the Federal Transit Administration process, which is lengthy,
prescribed (detailed), and contains numerous checkpoints to make sure the process is
followed. At the end, a locally preferred alternative is identified.
• The alternatives analysis is expensive and will take at least two years. Support for the
project must be lined up: Metro, Washington County, regional jurisdictions, State of
Oregon, and TriMet.
• Problems must be identified, costs determined, and "who will pay" lined up.
• Competition is fierce.
• First three things to accomplish:
o Alternatives Analysis: coordinate with Metro, TriMet and Washington
County - should be started as soon as possible.
o Continue to build and broaden base of support.
o Funding: Support TriMet's legislative package and Washington County
funding.
• Councilor Woodruff said the Council would be pleased to move ahead on light rail
but added that he wanted to be sure that this is not the only thing Mr. Larkin will be
working on. We have other transportation needs and he understands the City will be
working with Mr. Larkin to deal with transportation issues and light rail; not only
light rail. He asked Mr. Larkin if he had any other thoughts about consultation or
lobbying he would do on behalf of other transportation needs that we have. Mr.
Larkin clarified that he is not a lobbyist. On the high-capacity transit side, you can
be ably represented by interests that the City shares with TriMet and Washington
County. In terms of general transportation funding strategies, Mr. Larkin said he
would be glad to advise on those. Mr. Larkin said his main focus will be "to help
you spring into the high-capacity transit process and the funding that needs to go
with that. And, frankly that's a big gulp, right off the bat. So, that's where my focus
would be." Councilor Woodruff commented that this will need more discussion.
• In response to a question from Councilor Buehner, Mr. Larkin advised it has been
his experience that the Congressional delegates are supportive of requests submitted
by a region demonstrating they are cooperating and unified on the package of
priorities.
• The State legislature is familiar with requests for high-capacity transit projects.
• Councilor Wilson noted Tigard's citizens are primarily concerned with traffic issues.
The busiest portion of I-5 is within the city of Tigard; the busiest section of 217 is
within the city limits of Tigard; Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT)
most traveled non-limited access highway is Highway 99 through Tigard;
Washington County's busiest road is Scholls Ferry in Tigard. Tigard is "suffocating"
with traffic issues. Light rail would help, but 95 percent of all trips, regardless of
how successful we would be, will still be by car. Councilor Wilson echoed Councilor
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES - September 23, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 2 of 20
Woodruff's concerns that we want light rail, we feel that it is "our turn." Council is
very supportive in going and pushing for light rail, but if we had a public vote, he
said he is not sure that we would get 50 percent support. Councilor Wilson said it is
not lost on him that the two places that had votes like this (Clark County and
Milwaukie) are getting light rail before us. Councilor Wilson said he thinks we have a
strong case to be made, but if it were to consume all of our energies, he would very
concerned if the efforts did not also include an auto improvement component. Both
westside and eastside received improvements on 26 and 84. He clarified he was not
suggesting that a freeway be place through Tigard, but "we have a mess that needs to
be solved and it has to be the whole package. And, if you are not the guy to do that,
I'm not sure if we need someone else to do this, too."
• City Manager Prosser agreed that efforts will not be only for light rail. The solution
to 99W traffic congestion is a whole range of options, packages, and projects. Light
rail is important (and a complicated part of the package) where the City does not
have very much experience; this is where Mr. Larkin can assist. His primary focus is
on the high-capacity transit. City Manager Prosser said, "At the same time we, at the
staff level, and if Council goes ahead with designating the Mayor with more time,
that becomes the entire package... we will definitely be working with Geoff,
coordinating with Geoff, pulling ideas from Geoff. But, Geoff's focus and his
primary value is on high capacity. He's got the experience, he's got the contacts, he's
got the knowledge. Those are things that we lack."
• Councilor Wilson said the Council will discuss later about whether to make our
Mayor our lobbyist to some degree. But, he does not have the lobbyist experience;
perhaps, this is the idea that between the Mayor and Mr. Larkin this will be
accomplished.
• Mayor Dirksen and Mr. Larkin have had a meeting to discuss their roles and how
they could work together. Mayor Dirksen said, there are doors that I can open
that he can't even open... That's already borne some fruit. I met with Councilor
Liberty last week to talk about light rail. I actually took the opportunity to show him
the property as well... because we are going to need money from Metro on that as
well. We talked about light rail and the potential for high-capacity rail coming down
Barbur Boulevard. In my conversation with him, I was already able to use advice
given to me by Mr. Larkin and how to focus the conversation... "
• Mr. Larkin said he did not mean to give the impression that he was only a "train
guy." The alternatives analysis process that is sponsored bythe federal government
will also look at all of the other alternatives, including highway fixes. He said, "As
you point out exactly what happened on westside, it happened on Hillsboro, it
happened on the Banfield as well. In the end, it turned out to be a package of
improvements. The FTA is very focused on transit and very focused on not
spending transit money on highways. There will always be that friction... This
corridor begs for transportation solutions. One of the reasons I was interested in
poking around is that this a great project. Whatever the end result is, it will be a very
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES - September 23, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 . 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 3 of 20
important improvement to your community and the communities further down the
line as well."
• City Manager Prosser asked Mr. Larkin about where TriMet is now in looking for
projects. The next project has not yet been identified. He said, "There is a mass of
work going on within the region... The Columbia River Crossing is going to be a
huge project; the Milwaukie project is big, street car is big in the Portland area. But,
looking out ten years, what is the next one. It takes ten years to get these things
going and into construction."
4 From TriMet's perspective the Highway 99W light rail line is a serious possibility. He
said, "The region needs to be brought together and brought behind whatever the
next priority project is. My belief is that it is this one; we will wait and see what the
outcome of that process is and TriMet, I think, will be a willing partner in trying to
figure out how to advance... " Councilor Woodruff, commented that we have
already heard TriMet Manager Fred Hansen say that he "sees this as the next one out
there." Council President Sherwood said Metro Councilor Harrington observed that
Tigard had the best turnout at an event where high-capacity was discussed.
Councilor Buchner said this Council has done a very good job of educating Mr.
Hansen and Metro Councilors about the fact that Tigard has dense housing areas..it
is important to keep reinforcing this information.
• There was discussion about areas of support needed from other communities; i.e.,
southwest Portland, Multnomah Village, King City, Tualatin, Sherwood, Beaverton.
.Mr. Larkin said, "You can't have enough friends... " If, Sherwood would not be
involved in the initial phase, it certainly will be in the next phase. He said, "As many
folks as can be supportive - they can be supportive of funding measures, they can be
supportive of regional priority-setting. It just makes all the sense in the world to ask
them and see if we can't sign them up. And, it's going to be true of many other
jurisdictions as well." Councilor Buchner noted it might be good to also consider a
multiple-story parking structure due to the increasing population.
• There was discussion about the 99W/I-5 Connector project and talk about a
commuter rail line to Sherwood. Councilor %Ason said he wondered if this would
be the next logical extension, rather than light rail. Mayor Dirksen said he knew
there had been discussions in Yamhill County to support a commuter rail line to run
from Newberg to Wilsonville to tie into the south end of our commuter rail line.
Councilor Woodruff asked Mr. Larkin how many hours per week he would be
devoting to this project. Mr. Larkin said he did not know yet. He said he is just now
getting started; it's not going to be a huge number of hours, but it will be enough to
put together a proposed strategy of the three points that he mentioned: going after
funding, continuing to build face, and how do we get an alternatives started.
Assistant City Manager Newton said Mr. Larkin has already requested information
from staff, which has been provided.

• Councilor Buehner asked about how long it took to identify the Milwaukie route.
Mr. Larkin said he believed it took six years.
• Mayor Dirksen that from past experience that attention begets attention. Just
because we get commuter and light rail, it does not mean that other transportation
improvements will be ignored. As one area receives attention, it begets the thinking
about additional projects. Tigard should not focus our attention only on light rail.
We have too many other issues that need attention. He said, "If Geoff and I can
focus our attention on this light rail and work together, this will allow our staff to
work in areas where they have better expertise... "

4. APPROVAL OF 10-YEAR FRANCHISE FOR QWEST COMMUNICATIONS
CORPORATION FOR USE OF PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY
a. Assistant to the City Manager Mills reviewed the request. The City Council is
authorized to grant a non-exclusive franchise under Tigard Municipal Code Chapter
15.06.060(2). This request is the first new franchise to be granted under this chapter
since its inception in 2006. An agreement with Qwest has been successfully negotiated
for the fee to be computed on either a per-linear foot based on their facilities in the
City's rights-of-way or by a percentage of gross revenues, whichever is greater. The
linear-foot fee is not specified in the City of Tigard's ordinance. If the City Council
approves the franchise tonight, staff will return later for Council consideration to
amend the current ordinance to address the need of the industry to build lines without
providing service in the community. The League of Oregon Cities recently completed a
utility and franchise fee survey and the per-foot fee for this agreement is the median of
the per-foot fees being charged in the area; that rate is $2.72 per linear foot. The fee
will be paid semi-annually. Qwest Communications still needs to obtain the permits,
pay permit fees, and have their work inspected as all other franchise holders are
required to do.
Assistant to the City Manager Mills introduced Attorney Nancy Werner of the Beery,
Elsner, and Hammond law firm; Ms. Werner negotiated the franchise agreement.

b. In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff, Ms. Werner said the subject
company is a different company than "Qwest Corporation." She advised that Qwest
Corporation provides retail telephone service; Qwest Communications Corporation is a
related, but different entity. We will not know how to calculate the fee until
construction is completed and it can be determined how many feet of facilities there are
in the right of way. Councilor Woodruff commented the importance of franchise fees
to the City; this is the second largest source of revenue for the City. He noted he
appreciated that precedence is being set to determine how this can be dealt with in the
future.
Councilor Wilson referred to the need to keep track and mitigate damage done to City
streets by the franchise utilities. He was concerned whether the fee will be sufficient
and why there was no inflation escalation provision. Ms. Werner advised the figure to
calculate the fee comes from a League of Oregon Cities survey, which provided
information about what other cities are receiving for a per-linear-foot fee. This fee is
the same as what Beaverton and Millsboro are charging the same company. She agreed
that it is difficult to know if any franchise fee will recover the cost of maintaining the
right of way. The City has an ordinance that includes a street-cut moratorium for newly
paved streets (five years); therefore, there are some protections contained in the Tigard
Municipal Code to prevent some of the damage to new streets. There is no escalation
charge and Ms. Werner noted this is a 10-year franchise, which is what the Code sets
out. She noted efforts to keep the two measurements to be allowed in the Code
comparable.
Assistant to the City Manager Mills added that the Engineering Inspectors are
monitoring the utility contractors in the right-of way. The City is able to maintain that
oversight by the authority under the franchise agreements and the Code to stop work if
the work is not up to standard. The City has been successful in working with the
franchise holders to maintain the quality of our streets.
Councilor Buehner commented that her residential street was one of the first "test
streets" when Verizon started their project. She noted there was a lot of damage, which
resulted in sidewalk replacement. She thanked Ms. Werner for her work
Mayor Dirksen commented on the fact that while Qwest will not be providing service
in the community, there is still a way to maintain control over their work done in the
street and make sure we have control over our rights of way. He referred to the option
of "whichever is greater" depending on whether the franchise holder chooses to do
service or only use "feeders" in the street; this is a great way to cover both situations.

5. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A BORROWING TO PROVIDE
INTERIM FINANCING FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE CITY'S WATER
SUPPLY SYSTEM
7:55:48 PM
a. Assistant to the City Manager Mills presented the staff report. Through the budget
process earlier this year, the City was planning to borrow $18 million this fiscal year for
the water CIP projects, including the Lake Owego Intergovernmental Agreement
recently negotiated. Before the City can borrow or sell bonds, the City must set up the
financing with a line of credit to pay the Intergovernmental Agreement. In addition,
the City wants to have the funding in place for the project over the next three years.
While the Budget shows $18 million to be borrowed this year, this request is to have the
right to approach the banks and ask for a $22 million line of credit for the next three
years. We would borrow on that line of credit as needed for expenses of the water CIP
projects. There is benefit to the City for setting up a line of credit that is large enough
to see us through the three years.
If the City Council adopts the resolution, it will authorize City Staff to solicit from the
banks for the line of credit.
Assistant to the City Manager Mills advised staff recommends the City Council adopt
the resolution. The long-term financing for all of the water capital projects will be
through water rates and revenue bonds. We anticipate selling revenue bonds in about
two or three years. The preliminary estimate for the Lake Owego/Tigard Water
Intergovernmental Agreement was $81 million over the next eight years.

b. Council Discussion
in response to Councilor Buehner, Assistant to the City Manager Mills explained that
the water CIP fund anticipated that $18 million would be borrowed.
In response to Councilor Woodruff regarding a legal issue pertaining to water rights,
City Manager Prosser said he did not believe that this would have any effect on us
moving ahead with this. The legal question pertains to perfecting water rights; the Lake
Oswego water rights are pledged to this partnership. We are participating with Lake
Oswego in defending those rights. The initial payment called for in the Lake Oswego
Intergovernmental Agreement was about $2 million; recent appraisals show that this
now closer to $3 million. This amount is for ownership and investing in the facilities
(land and pipelines that now exist).
Assistant to the City Manager Mills added that in addition to the $3 million to be paid as
outlined in the Intergovernmental Agreement, there is a total of about $8.3 million
water capital improvement projects that would be paid through this line of credit.
Mayor Dirksen asked for clarification that this is not $18 million plus $22 million.
Assistant to the City Manager Mills advised that this is $22 million over the next three
years instead of $18 million for just this fiscal year.
C. Council Consideration: Resolution No. 08-57

6. FORMALIZE THE QTY OF TIGARD'S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR THE 2009
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
a. Assistant City Manager Newton presented the Staff Report. The proposed resolution
was designed to reflect the priorities that Council identified at its September 9, 2008,
meeting. Four general target areas are identified in the resolution:
1. Affordable Housing/Document Recording Fee
2. Transportation Funding
3. Land Use/Urbanization
4. Preemption of Local Revenue Sources
b. Council Discussion
Consensus of the Council was that the proposed resolution reflects the target areas
discussed by Council as well as the level of support/involvement.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff, Assistant CityManager Newton
advised that she has talked to staff at League of Oregon Cities; they are waiting for the
City of Tigard's resolution to include in the list of priorities cities have identified for this
legislative session.
Mayor Dirksen complimented the staff on the wording in the resolution clarifying the
target areas discussed by the City Council. In response to Mayor Dirksen's question
regarding the wording "does no harm" contained within the Land Use/Urbanization
target area, Ms. Newton advised this is the phrase used to indicate the preference that
we do not want to lose ground in this area.
Councilor Woodruff asked if the word "system" contained in the "Transportation
Funding" target area meant everything to do with transportation. Ms. Newton affirmed
that this is what the word meant.
Mayor Dirksen said that Senator Burdick, just today, commented about how much she
appreciated Tigard's specific language on legislative issues, which she referred to at the
last session. In addition, Tigard's list of priorities was included in packets of
information given to legislators.
C. Motion by Council President Sherwood, seconded by Councilor Woodruff, to approve
Resolution No. 08-58.

SESSION
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council present.
Mayor Dirksen Yes
Councilor Buehner Yes
Councilor Sherwood Yes
Councilor Wilson Yes
Councilor Woodruff Yes
8:08:16 PM
Mayor Dirksen advised he would recuse himself from discussion for Agenda Item No. 7 and left the
Council dais and took a seat in the audience. He advised he would be present to answer questions or
give testimony as requested by the City Council.
Council President Sherwood presided during the discussion for Agenda Item No. 7.
7. CONSIDER A LETTER OF AGREEMENT TO DEFINE ADDITIONAL DUTIES,
RESPONSIBILITIES AND AN INCREASED STIPEND FOR THE MAYOR
Assistant City Manager Newton advised that what the City Council has before it is a copy of
the draft Letter of Agreement, which was distributed to the City Council on September 9.
This draft reflects the work of the subcommittee (Councilor Woodruff, Council President
Sherwood, Jason Snider and Sue Yesilada). The draft includes strikeouts and additions made
by the subcommittee. Assistant City Manager Newton requested that Council review noting
this represented an agreement that would be between the Mayor and the City Council.
Council President Sherwood acknowledged Linda Monahan to present information to the
City Council.
Linda Monahan, 10248 SW Kent Court, Tigard, Oregon spoke to the City Council. A
written copy of her testimony is on file in the City Recorder's office. Her comments
included six key points:
1. The letter of agreement identified the expectation that the Mayor is to serve as a
lobbyist. A lobbyist is subject to obligations and restrictions.
2. Expectations in the form of job duties are listed but there is no mention of outcomes or
deliverables.
3. The Mayor would receive $42,000 a year for an average of 20 hours per week of work.
To her this seemed like a salaried employee, not a stipend. If the Mayor were serving as
a lobbyist, this seemed to her to be an ethics violation.

Cityof Tigard mm13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 12 of 20
4. Is the $42,000 in addition to the current stipend and healthcare benefit rather than in lieu
of? She asked about the work of a transportation consultant who will be engaged to
perform these endeavors as well.
5. The performance of the Mayor is to be reviewed in March and September in 2009. This
sounds to her like a "done deal" for the next fiscal year. She said she originally
understood that the performance was going to be reviewed periodically; however, if the
review is done after July 1, 2009, then the Council would already be setting up for next
fiscal year.
6. This is an issue of governance. It appears to her that the agreement is cross-pollinating
with what the City Manager and staff traditionally does with what the Mayor is now
being authorized and compensated to do. What started out as finding a way to attract
Council members has morphed into what could be viewed as altering the City
Council/Manager form of government. Tigard citizens did not vote on this. Tigard
Citizens did not know the Mayor was going to become the City's lobbyist. If they did,
they might have made a different choice or would have had some "kind of say" in the
matter.
Ms. Monahan said the letter of agreement and this proposition needs some work.
8:14:09 PM
Councilor Wilson said Ms. Monahan has some good points. Ms. Monahan submitted a copy
of her written testimony for the record.
Council President Sherwood referred to Ms. Monahan's testimony and agreed that several of
the points contained in the letter of agreement needed changing. The Committee wants the
Mayor to be the City's primary representative on transportation issues within the region at
JPACT and other important committees where an elected official is required to sit. The
Mayor would serve as a representative not only-for the County but for the City, too. "We
are not looking for a lobbyist; we have a lobbyist. What we want the Mayor to do is to be a
representative as an elected official at these meetings... " She asked Ms. Monahan if she was
opposed to the City trying to get more money for 99W and make some transportation fixes
within the City.
Ms. Monahan said, "No, I'm just opposed to the way you are going about it."
Council President Sherwood noted there has been a lot of discussion about this proposal,
which came from citizens and discussed by the Budget Committee. Ms. Monahan reminded
Council President Sherwood that she has spoken to the City Council about this issue twice
in the past.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES - September 23, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov ( Page 13 of 20
In response to a request by Assistant City Manager Newton for clarification, Council
President Sherwood advised that the letter of agreement should reflect that the Mayor would
serve as the City Council's primary representative on transportation issues regionally.
Ms. Monahan asked how the City Council was planning to proceed. Will this be brought
back as a revised document? Council President Sherwood said it would likely need to be
revised after tonight's discussion. Council President Sherwood asked for comments from
the City Council members.
Councilor Buehner said the public should know that most of the major committees making
decisions about funding for the region meet during the day for several hours at a time; this
makes it impossible for someone who has a job to attend. A staff member attending the
meeting is not allowed to participate. Often, the preference is that the Mayor attend or,
possibly, the Council President. Councilor Buehner said she is not sure if Ms. Monahan was
aware of this. "We're in a box now, where if we want to get funding, we have to send the
Mayor. We do not have a choice... Places that have gotten the money are the cities that have
retired Mayors. Therefore, the other option is to say, if you want to run for Mayor of this
City you have to be retired or independently wealthy. And, I don't think that's fair to the
rest of the citizens of this community either. So, I just wanted to make sure that you were
clear on that."
Ms. Monahan responded that she was aware of the above information presented by
Councilor Buehner. She referred to prior members of Council; i.e., Ken Scheckla and John
Cook, who spread out assignments throughout the Council. Council President Sherwood
agreed with Councilor Buehner that the "rules have changed" in the last couple of years.
Councilor Buehner said what you could do ten years ago isn't viable at this time. Councilor
Buehner noted she had to receive special permission to attend one of the Committees for
which the Mayor's attendance is preferred. This is a dilemma that all cities are now facing.
To adjust, either we have to have a Mayor or Council President who has the time to attend
these meetings or we make it clear that retired or independently wealthy people should be
mayor.
Councilor Wilson suggested the Council review the points raised by Ms. Monahan as there
are some valid points. He also would like to hear comments by the City Attorney regarding
the lobbyist issue. After brief discussion, it was agreed that rather than identifying the Mayor
as a lobbyist, he would serve as the "transportation representative."
Councilor Wilson referred to the second point made by Ms. Monahan regarding identifying
tangible outcomes. At the least, Councilor Wilson said he hoped the amount received due to
the Mayor's work would at least equal the $42,000 stipend. Councilor Wilson said the City
might receive funding in the millions of dollars with the additional attention from the Mayor,
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES - September 23, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 14 of 20
however, if this proposal does not appear to be working, the Council has the ability to
terminate the agreement.
Councilor Wilson referred to the third point regarding the Mayor being a salaried employee
and a potential ethics violation. He said he did not see this being any different than the
stipend currently received. Council President Sherwood agreed. City Attorney Ramis
commented that the premise of the argument is that a separate new employee position is
being created, which is different from his understanding of the Council's objective. The
Council is exercising its authority under the Charter to establish a stipend as the first point.
And secondly, the Council is exercising its authority under the Charter to organize the work
of the City Council. This is the power you are exercising; not the authority through the
Budget process to create new positions. Councilor Wilson asked for the definition of a
stipend; could it be argued that we are doing more than that? City Attorney Ramis said the
term used is probably not limiting. It is there to provide you with the prerogative to set
some sort of financial remuneration for your efforts. The real remedy under the Charter is
at the ballot box to the extent that the voters are uncomfortable with the Council's
determination.
Councilor Wilson said it should be clarified whether the $42,000 is in addition to the stipend
now received. He said he believed that this was intended to be the total amount, not in
addition to the current stipend. Council President Sherwood agreed this should be clarified.
Councilor Wilson noted that the other benefits will continue to apply.
Councilor Wilson referred to another point brought forward by Ms. Monahan regarding a
transportation consultant. Yes, the City Council discussed this in the study session before
the Council business meeting. He said he still has concerns about the definition of this
consultant's work; however, this is not related to this proposal. He explained the agreement
with Consultant Geoff Larkin. Mr. Larkin is not a lobbyist, but a consultant who has
expertise in the area of developing high-capacity transit corridor projects. He worked on
both eastside and westside light rail projects; in fact, he's worked on every light rail project
we have had in the region. He is familiar with the federal process to secure funding for light
rail. Mr. Larkin will be assisting the City of Tigard and giving advice on how to approach
and seek light rail for the 99W corridor. Councilor Woodruff added that the Mayor would
work closely with Mr. Larkin on the light rail and other transportation issues.
Councilor Wilson referred to Ms. Monahan's point regarding evaluating the performance of
the Mayor. This has been identified for this to happen every six months. The March
evaluation would coincide well with the budget process.
Councilor Wilson referred to Ms. Monahan's point regarding alteration of the form of
government. He said he believed the Council would argue that this action would merely
increase the stipend.

City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page IS of 20
Councilor Woodruff said it is interesting because the Council has not heard from many
people on this proposal, pro or con. Some people have been talked to individually and, in
some cases, people thought the Mayor already is working full time. It is important for
people to know that the Council is not moving the Mayor into the City Manager role. We
will still retain the "CEO" of the City. City Manager Prosser will remain in charge of staff.
This would not change the way staff are supervised or the form of governance.
Councilor Buehner said when she reviewed the draft she decided it needs a lot more
information outlining what is expected in terms of what the Mayor will be doing; e.g.,
attending JPACT and the necessary supporting meetings including meeting with other
members of JPACT. This is the type of information that should be included in the job
description.
Council President Sherwood suggested that a "responsibility description" be outlined in the
agreement. For example, wording could reflect that the Mayor would represent the City at
JPACT, MPAC, WCCC and meet with other officials of those bodies
8:29:32 PM
Councilor Woodruff said that there is no question that this is an experiment. We have never
done this and he said he did not know of any other cities in Oregon doing this. It might not
work. In six months, the Council or the Mayor might decide this is not meeting the City's
needs or the needs of the Mayor and his employer. He said he was appreciative that the
Mayor has been flexible with this as is his employer, there are no guarantees that this would
be an ongoing situation. Councilor Woodruff said the Council thinks it's worth an
investment for six months to a year to determine whether this would make a difference. If it
cannot be justified, then we will discontinue it or the Council might discontinue this
agreement if there is a Mayor or Council President who aren't amenable to this or if other
City Council members do not think the Mayor or Council President should do this job.
Whether or not this is continued must be determined every year. Councilor Woodruff said
he would be willing to do this as an experiment. We are going to see what kind of return on
investment this might produce. He added that this is a fairly modest investment for a City
our size.
8:31.01 PM
Council President Sherwood said this is borne out of frustration with the City trying to find
more transportation dollars to fix 99W. After meeting with various regional representatives,
we found out that unless we have someone at the table, we aren't going to be getting any
place. We need to have visibility. Almost all of these meetings are held during the middle of
the day when those who have jobs cannot attend. Council President Sherwood said she was
willing to try this for six months to a year.

8:31:40 PM
Council President Sherwood suggested a change to the agreement. She said when the
meeting schedule was researched, the current schedule was the basis to selecting the days
and times. This might change. She suggested identifying specific days should be deleted
with it specified that the remuneration would be for 20 hours per week. Councilor
Woodruff said this is 20 business hours and does not take the place of the time that is
already expected of any of the Council members as elected officials. The additional
compensation is intended to free up 20 hours per week during business hours when certain
meetings occur. Councilor Woodruff said it puzzled him why many of these things are
scheduled during business hours since most people do have jobs. It seems more
consideration should be given to this; however, this is not the reality. He said he thinks the
Mayor has already used up all of his vacation time this year and most of it has gone towards
City-related work It is not fair for anyone to be expected to have all their vacation go
towards City work
Councilor Wilson said he wanted to add to a statement made by Council President
Sherwood. He said this idea came from two areas of frustration:
1. Frustration with trying to find a way to entice people to run for Mayor. This was the
question posed to the Committee.
2. Frustration by the Council regarding the inability to get transportation funding. We felt
that we were not getting our share.
Information regarding R(gionalModemizatzonEquity Splits, 2008-2001 STIP was referred to by
Councilor Wilson and a copy of this information is on file in the City Recorder's office.
8:35:02 PM
Councilor Wilson said the projected revenue for Washington County for Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODO'I) was $235,000,000. If that money were allocated
according to population, Tigard's share would be about $21,000,000, because we are 9
percent of the County. It has been increasingly obvious that ODOT funds are spent in a
manner that does not appear to have any rational basis for spending the money where
people are paying for the roads they are driving on. He gave the example of the Staley
junction project at the intersection of Highway 26 and Highway 47 near Buxton. This
overpass project is already funded. That intersection has less than half of the traffic of Hall
Boulevard and Bonita. Hall Boulevard is also a State highway. The Staley junction project is
getting $18-24 million. He said he does not recall the last time ODOT spent that kind of
money inside the City limits of Tigard.
8:36:33 PM
Councilor Wilson referred to other projects:

City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 17 of 20
• Highway 219 - Farmington Road for $4.5 million
• Highway 219 - Burkhalter/Simpson Roads for $1.5 million
• Highway 219 - Unger Road for $1.3 million
• Highway 219 - Tongue Lane and Grabel Road - $1.4 million
The above is all ODOT money. Councilor Wilson said he is not sure how ODOT projects
are funded; but, it is obvious that there is no relationship with where the money comes from.
Council President Sherwood said the Council hopes this experiment works. If it doesn't, at
least we have made a presence in the region to let people know that we are concerned
enough about these transportation dollars leaking out of this area and not coming back We
have already been told that the State legislature will not be addressing the gas tax this year.
8:38:17 PM
Assistant City Manager Newton summarized her understanding of the changes the City
Council would like to the letter of agreement:
• No. 3 - Instead of "expectations" refer to "responsibilities."
• Under responsibilities change No. 2 to read: "Serve as the City Council's primary
representative on transportation issues."
• No. 5 - Hours and Schedule: Delete the days.
• No. 6 - Compensation: Be clear that it is $42,000 annually (not in addition to the
current stipend); other benefits will continue.
• City Manager Prosser advised that the existing stipend is paid through the City's payroll
system. He recommended that the agreement be silent regarding as to the frequency of
the payment.
• No. 7 - City Manager Prosser suggested that the wording be, Mmim of the City Qwxil
shall reue* w the perfommnx in Mardi and Septerrhr of eadb year.
• No. 8 - City Manager Prosser suggested that wording to the effect that this agr&rt-nt shall
run f om inr-ptwn to June 30 and will be wueued and be eligible for n d erery July 1". This
would set the time period and comports with Councilor Woodruff's comment regarding
containing the timeframe of the agreement to the fiscal year. Councilor Woodruff
agreed that a review should be done in March, so if it should not move forward, it would
not be a part of the Budget process for review. Council agreed to retain the two time
references for review: September and March.
8:41:16 PM

referring to City Council and other liaison assignments that the Mayor would have. Council
President Sherwood said she did not think this should be in the agreement since when one
runs for Mayor it is understood this is part of the responsibilities. The agreement is dealing
with assignments during business hours.

Citizen Communication Follow Up
for the September 23, 2008, Meeting
At the last City Council business meeting held on September 9, 2008, the following individual
testified during Citizen Communications to the City Council:
Virginia Caullay of 13990 SW 100`h Tigard, OR 97223 asked a question about extending Potso Dog
Park's hours from dawn to dusk.
Update from Public Works Director Koellermeier: Craig, you will be asked to respond to this at the
9/23 CC meeting. As you know we lease the site. We have asked the owners to consider new hours,
we have not heard back from them Also, our land use approval is quite specific in hours of
operation, so if the owners agree we will need to request an adjustment to or land use approval.
Bottom line, this will take awhile but we will try.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Garrett Street Sidewalks CDBG Application
Prepared By: Duane Roberts Dept Head Approval: 1 City Mgr Approval:
C.c0
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should Council approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
project proposal?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing submittal of the grant application.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The CDBG Program is a federal program that annually provides more than $2 million to Washington County to fund
activities that benefit low and moderate income persons. The County distributes the money to local jurisdictions and
nonprofit organizations based on project applications submitted by sponsors. The County currently is accepting project
proposals for the 09/10 funding year. The application due date is October 10. In each of the previous two funding
cycles the City requested and received CDGB funding for renovations to the Tigard Senior Center.
This cycle, staff proposes the City seek funds for closing sidewalk gaps on one side of Garrett Street. Garrett Street is
located west of Downtown Tigard within a prequalified block group area. The improvements would provide a safe,
secure, and convenient pedestrian route to services, shopping opportunities, and TriMet and school bus stops. The
sidewalk infill also will help retain neighborhood character and livability. A map showing the location of the proposed
improvements is attached, along with a preliminary engineering cost estimate. The decision to seek funding for one,
rather than both sides of Garrett is based on the limited and declining availability of federal CDBG funds.
Finance Department review of the project for financial, budgetary, and purchasing requirements is in process. Copies
of the draft proposal will be available in the City Recorder's office.
To increase the City's chances in obtaining the funds needed to help pay for the improvements, a major effort is
underway to solicit public support for the application. Apartment dwellers are being asked to sign a petition, and
homeowners are being asked to provide letters telling a personal story about the need for closing the sidewalk gaps.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should Council approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of Travel Options project proposal?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing submittal of the grant application.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Metro-sponsored Regional Travel Options grant program provides funding for projects and programs that reduce
transportation related emissions to meet and maintain national air quality standards. Applications are due October 8,
2008. Staff proposes the City request funds for the preparation and printing of a bike routes map, an eligible activity
under the program.
The maps would show bike lanes and be color coded to depict busy and low traffic roads and hilly terrain. The
$20,000 in grant dollars would finance the printing of some 4,000 color maps. They would be distributed at no charge
through bike shops, schools, City Hall, and the Library.
The project benefits include supporting alternative transportation; promoting health and wellness; improving access to
parks and other destinations; improving connectivity awareness generally; and supporting bicycle safety.
Finance Department review of the project for financial, budgetary, and purchasing requirements is in process. Copies

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title est Communications Co oration Utili Franchise Request
Prepared By: Loreen Mills Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council approve a new, 10-year franchise for Qwest Communications Corporation to use the public rights-
of-way within the City of Tigard?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the ordinance to approve the franchise.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Qwest Communications Corporation is requesting a 10-year utility franchise with Tigard and has not held a franchise
with the City in the past. Qwest Corporation currently has held a franchise with the City since 1997.
The City Council is authorized to grant a non-exclusive franchise under Tigard Municipal Code Chapter 15.06.060(2).
This request is the first new franchise to be granted under this chapter since its inception in 2006.
The City has negotiated a proposed franchise agreement with Qwest Communications through our Attorney Nancy
Wexner from the Beery, Elsner and Hammond firm. The proposed agreement is different from TMC 15.06.100
requirements which require the franchise fee be paid by a percentage of gross revenues. Qwest Communications first
requested a rights-of-way usage franchise fee that would be paid only on a per-linear foot based on their facilities in the
City's rights-of-way rather than a percentage of gross revenues. Qwest Communications stated they did not plan to
provide telecom services in the City.
However, the City has successfully negotiated an agreement with Qwest Communications that the fee will be computed
on either a per-linear foot based on their facilities in the City's rights-of-way or by a percentage of gross revenues
whichever irgreater.
As background in a recent League of Oregon Cities Utility and Franchise Fee Survey it was found that some cities now
charge a per foot fee for access to rights-of-way for companies that have facilities in the ROW that do not provide
telecom services within the community. The per foot fee for this agreement is at the median of the fees described
in the survey.
Qwest Communication will be required to obtain permits, including payment of permit fees for all work in the public
rights-of-way.
Mike McCarthy, the City's Rights-of-Way Administrator and Attorney Nancy Werner will also be available at this
Council meeting to provide any background information necessary.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Do not approve the franchise. In this case, the City would need to develop new code language to govern the use of
public rights-of-way by public utilities and would also presumably need to adopt new utility taxes to replace franchise
fee revenues.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS
N/A
ATTACHMENT LIST
Ordinance, including Exhibit A, franchise agreement.
FISCAL NOTES
Qwest Communications has agreed to pay a rate of $2.72 per linear foot or 5% of gross revenues, whichever is greater.
The City will also receive new permit fee revenues for line installation work.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Consider a resolution authorizing a borrowing to provide interim financing for capital projects
for the City's water supply system. ~jPrepared By: Loreen Mills Dept Head Approv City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council authorize borrowing $ 22 million of interim financing to fund water capital improvement projects
including the initial financial obligations identified in the Water Supply Intergovernmental Agreement with Lake
Oswego?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve resolution
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In the 2008/09 fiscal year budget, the City anticipated borrowing $18 million to finance various water capital
improvement projects including funding the initial financial obligations under the water intergovernmental agreement
(IGA) with Lake Oswego. On August 5, 2008, the cities of Tigard and Lake Oswego entered into the water IGA for
the purpose of jointly obtaining a permanent non-contract source of raw water. In the IGA, Tigard's share of the cost
to finance capital projects and acquire an equitable interest in water supply facilities is estimated to be no less than $81
million by 2016. The long term plan for financing the both the City's normal water system projects and the water IGA
projects is through water rates and revenue bonds.
The City will borrow money to meet these water capital financing needs and it is time to solicit proposals for a financial
institution to provide financing of the first $22 million. This will be in the form of a loan agreement or line of credit
until we negotiate the first revenue bond. We anticipate the first revenue bond will be issued in the next three or four
fiscal years. Authorizing the City to negotiate the line of credit for the full $22 million now rather than in annual
increments should provide more favorable loan conditions for the City.
Approving the attached resolution will:
• Authorize the City to borrow interim financing up to $22 million under ORS 287A.180, Local Government
Borrowing statues; and
• Authorize specific City staff members to solicit financing information, select one or more financial institution's
to provide financing, negotiate the terms and conditions of the loans/lines of credit, and execute the financing
documents.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. None
CITY COUNCIL GOALS
Council's goal to make a decision on Tigard's long-range water source was achieved with the adoption of the Lake
Oswego Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for Water Supply on August 5, 2008.
ATTACHMENT LIST
Resolution which authorizes City staff to borrow interim financing for the water system.
FISCAL NOTES
The cost for interim financing is not known until loans or lines of credit are established.
About 41% of the line of credit will be used to meet our financial obligations under the Lake Oswego IGA. As stated
before, Tigard's share of the cost to finance the Lake Oswego IGA is estimated to be no less than $81 million by 2016.
The long term plan for financing all water capital projects is through water rates and revenue bonds.

Dear Chief Administrative Official,
As part of the League's revamped policy process, the Board asked the policy committees to propose specific
legislative actions to assist in developing a pro-active legislative agenda. The committees have worked very
diligently, to develop specific proposed legislative actions, both for the League's legislative policies and for
consideration in developing the League's action agenda for the 2009 Legislature. (The committees have also
undertaken a review of the Oregon Municipal Policy that will be presented for membership consideration at the
2008 LOC conference in Salem.) The policy committees have identified 24 legislative outcomes that are fully set
forth in the sheets following the enclosed input form. Those 24 outcomes span a wide array of issues and differ in
the potential resources required to seek their achievement. As the Board adopts a legislative agenda, a
prioritization is required in order to focus resources. The final legislative agenda may well encompass all of the
committee recommendations, but identify some as priorities for 2009 (and in some cases as multi-year strategies),
some for future years, and others as outcomes to be sought as opportunities and circumstances permit.
Each city is being asked to review the recommendations of the policy committees and provide input to the Board
as it considers the adoption of a legislative agenda for 2009. Your city's input is sought on the enclosed form.
After your city council has had an opportunity to review the 24 proposals and discuss the proposals with staff,
please return the form with the top four issues that your city council would like to see the League focus on for the
2009 session. The League Board of Directors will review the results of this survey of member cities, along with the
recommendations of the policy committees, as part of its adoption of the legislative policies for 2009 and the
focused legislative agenda of outcomes to be actively pursued. Your city's participation in providing its input will
assist the Board in creating a focused set of specific legislative targets that reflect the issues of greatest
importance for cities. Thank you for your participation and thank you also to the many city officials who gave
many hours of their time and expertise to develop the proposals. Rosters of the policy committees can be found
on the LOC web site under the tab "About Us" followed by "Policy Committees".
If you have any questions, please contact me or any of the intergovernmental relations staff members.
Sincerely,
Michael J. McCauley

Q. Move to an alternative revenue Technology has advanced rapidly in the last decade and will continue to evolve in ways
system for telecommunications that cities cannot predict. This has led to significant implications for city rights-of-way
providers and oppose preemption authority and telecommunications revenues. Cities have experienced an onslaught of
of city franchising, rights-of-way challenges to franchising, rights-of-way, and taxing authority through local referrals, state
and taxing authority. and federal legislation and litigation. Meanwhile, the predominate system of franchising
telecommunications providers has not kept pace with technology. In particular, the shift
from landline telephones to wireless technologies has resulted in an erosion of
telecommunications revenues. To protect city rights-of-way authority and preserve
critical telecommunications revenues, cities need to consider moving to an alternative
revenue system. The alternative revenue system proposal developed by a task force of
city officials is a gross revenues tax specific to telecommunications providers. The
League anticipates beginning discussions during the 2009 legislative session, but that this
issue would be a multi-session effort. For additional information, please access the
"Telecommunications Tool-Kit" located on the Premium section of the League's Web
site.
R. Support a statewide broadband Access to broadband services has become essential to Oregon's ability to compete in a
policy for Oregon. global economy. While individual communities have been proactive in pursuing
broadband technologies, to ensure Oregon remains competitive, Oregon must undertake a
statewide comprehensive approach to meet the infrastructure and service demands of
citizens and businesses. The benefits of a statewide broadband policy reach far beyond
the economic gains of attracting businesses and workforce productivity to applications
that are integral to peoples' quality of life. From applications such as telemedicine to
distance learning, implementation of a statewide broadband policy has the unparalleled
potential to reach rural and underserved areas-to change how people communicate and
provide every Oregonian with the opportunity to participate in the information age.

compensation for current Council members at the current level with one exception. Budget up to

20 hours per week to 20 he•ifs per- vRek to assume specific additional Council responsibilities."

h\. C~° 1111G regarding s 1 a d City Council members determined it is
important that the City be represented by an elected official at meetings or hearings regarding
transportation issues and funding. The Council believes that an elected official representative would
be able to make significant progress on these goals this coming year because of the timing of
regional transportation decisions, which includes future light rail alignments. In addition,
implementation of the Downtown Plan tasks may require the involvement of an elected official to
connect with property owners and businesses on a regular basis. Council members recognize these
duties and responsibilities are over and above regular City Council duties and liaison assignments.

Staley's Junction to get a makeover in 2010
Oregon transportation officials seek public comment at Banks open house next week
BY STOVER E. HARGER III
The Forest Grove News-Times, Jul 16, 2008
Plans to improve the safety of Staley's Junction at Highway 26 and Highway 47 are and
and locals can learn more about a project that would build an overpass over Sunset High
during a public meeting to be held in Banks next week.
The Oregon Department of Transportation open house on the proposed three-phase construction pr(
which would begin in 2010, will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 23 in the Banks Public Library, 11
Market St. It will be the fifth open house on the project.
Staley's Junction has a history of safety concerns because of the potentially dangerous left-hand turn
motorists must make to enter Sunset Highway eastbound from Highway 47 southbound. According to
there have been 11 rear-end, non-fatal accidents at Staley's Junction from 1998 to 2007.
Phase one of the proposed plans would construct an overpass over Sunset Highway that would let
southbound travelers make a right turn onto Highway 26. Construction is estimated to complete in 201
Funding is already allotted for phase one of the project, which could cost $18 to $24 million, but ODI
still sorting out funding for the other phases. Phase two would add a second lane to Sunset Highway ea
and only allow right-hand turns at its intersection with Fisher Road. Phase three would add another la1
Sunset Highway westbound.
The construction would not only help make the intersection less dangerous for motorists, but give it
necessary improvements it will need to handle growing business and commuter traffic, ODOT spokesw
Christine Miles said.
"That area is growing," she said. "We need to plan for now and for the future."
Project engineers will be on hand at the open house to answer any specific construction questions an
concept drawings will be made available for all three proposed phases.
"We want to make sure people are comfortable with what we are doing," Miles said, "and also tell the
why we are doing it."
Before construction begins, Miles said, ODOT must spend the next two years conducting environmei
studies, roadway studies and surveying to make sure that construction would not adversely affect the a:
Plans to improve Staley's Junction have been in the works since 2000 when Washington County, Or(
State Parks and ODOT decided to prepare for future increases in traffic flow that were anticipated after
creation of the nearby L.L. "Stub" Stewart State Park, which opened last year.

Projects on A series of safety projects are planned on Highway 219 between
Highway 219: Hillsboro and Wolsborn Road over the next several years.
Latest information on Final paving and road striping on the Highway 219/Farmington
the Highway 219 Road project will be completed June 2008.

ODOT thanks everyone for their patience during the road closures
during this project.

Highway 219: Farmington Road
A contractor for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) began construction on OR'219 (Hillsboro-
Silverton Highway) at Farmington Road September 2007. This $4.5 million safety project will widen the
highway in order to build left and right turn lanes for motorists turning onto Farmington Road. In addition,
the bridge over Christensen Creek will be reconstructed in a wider configuration, and Farmington Road will
be realigned to the north approximately 40 feet. Once completed, motorists on OR 219 will have a safe
refuge to wait for oncoming traffic to clear before turning onto Farmington Road.
Traffic Impacts
Final paving and road striping will be completed in June/July 2008. Motorists should expect intermittent
short-term lane closure during daytime work hours.
Traffic fines double in construction zones - please drive carefully while traveling through the area.
Highway_219: Midwav/McFee
The Highway 219: Midway/McFee project is slated for 2009. This safety project is designed to realign the
curve between Midway Road and McFee Creek (Brown's Corner).
Highway 219: Laurel Road
This 2010 safety project will add a left turn lane on Highway 219 at Laurel Road for northbound motorists.
Highway 219: Midway corner
This 2010 safety project will realign the 90-degree curve on OR 219 at Midway Road.

Highway 219: Burkhalter/Simpson Roads

Oregon Department of Transportation - Region 1 (Portland Metro Area) Highway 219 Pr... Page 2 of 2
A contractor for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) finished construction on OR 219
(Hillsboro-Silverton Highway) at Burkhalter and Simpson Roads November 2006. This $1.5 million safety
project widened the highway at Burkhalter/Simpson Roads to accommodate a left turn lane in both
directions. Now that it's complete, motorists on OR 219 have a safe refuge to wait for oncoming traffic to
clear before turning on either Burkhalter Road or Simpson Road. In addition, the northern entrance to the
access road to Farmington View School was moved about 350 feet south from its previous location. This
helps avoid conflict between the access road and the new turn lanes.
Highway 219: Unger Road
A contractor for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) finished construction on OR 219
(Hillsboro-Silverton Highway) at Unger Road August 2006. This $1.3 million safety project widened the
highway at Unger Road to accommodate a left-turn lane. This now provides northbound traffic on OR 219 a
safe place to turn onto Unger Road. Most of the widening occured to the west although construction will tool
place on both the east and west sides of the highway.
1st Avenue/Walnut Street
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), in partnership with the City of Hillsboro, completed
construction in October 2005 to improve a section of 1st Avenue (Highway 219) between Oak Street
(Highway 8) and Maple Street in downtown Hillsboro. The project included:
• Adding a traffic signal on 1st Avenue at Walnut Street, with a dedicated left-turn lane and signal for
motorists turning onto Walnut Street. 1st Avenue was widened to accommodate the left-turn lane.
• Removing one railroad track crossing and rebuilding the remaining four crossings with concrete panels
south of Walnut Street. The northern railroad signals and crossing arms were replaced. Replacing the
existing asphalt panels with concrete panels should help improve the crossing surface.
• Replacing the sidewalks between Walnut Street and the railroad tracks.
• Paving and restriping 1st Avenue in the project area.
The new traffic signal at 1st Avenue and Walnut Street is the four-head kind, with a "flashing yellow" left-
turn light. The flashing yellow means drivers are allowed to turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic and
pedestrians. (Oncoming traffic has a green light.) Of course, drivers must determine if there is an adequate
gap before turning! Look here for more information about these new signals.
Highway 219: Tongue Lane and Grabel Road
Work was completed October 2005 on a $1.4 million safety project on Oregon Highway 219 (Hillsboro-
Silverton Highway) between Tongue Lane and Grabel Road.
Due to high crash rates at various intersections along Highway 219, several projects over the next few years
will take place to construct left-turn lanes on the highway. The first of these projects was on Highway 219
from Tongue Lane to Grabel Road.

Tigard City Council
Sept. 23, 2008
I received a copy of the letter of agreement, version III, dated 9/16/08.
My comments are as follows:
1) The letter of agreement identifies the expectation that the Mayor will serve as the
City's Transportation lobbyist. Identifying an individual as a lobbyist has a
number of obligations and restrictions. For example, the individual may be
required to be registered with the State of Oregon as a lobbyist. Lobbyists are
defined as those receiving compensation undertaken for the purposes of
influencing legislative action or engendering good will as dictated by the Oregon
Government Standards and Practices Commission. I'm presuming that somebody
has looked into these restrictions and obligations.
2) The letter of agreement spells out certain expectations in the form of job duties.
There is no mention of outcomes or deliverable jsuch as drafting position papers,
securing funding, providing testimony or writing grants. It appears that the only
expectation is that the Mayor attend meetings and produce a monthly report of
activities. I would think that for $42,000 a year, Tigard citizens might want to see
something more tangible.
3) For the average 20 hours a week of work, the Mayor would receive $42,000 a
year in equal monthly payments. This sounds like a salaried employee to me. It
seems to me that plunking the Mayor into a part time job of lobbyist is an ethics
violation since he would be experiencing personal financial gain by virtue of his
being an elected official.
4) It is not clear in the document that this arrangement is in addition to the stipend
and health care benefit that the Mayor already enjoys. I'm presuming that the
$42,000 is in addition not in lieu of, the current stipend.
5) The performance is be reviewed in March and September, 2009. This sounds like
a done deal for next fiscal year as well instead of reviewing performance as part
of the budget setting process for next fiscal year.
6) Finally, I think that this is an issue of governance. It appears to me that this
agreement is cross pollinating what the City Manager and staff traditionally do
with what the Mayor is now being authorized and compensated to do. What
started out as finding ways to attract council members has morphed into, what
could be viewed as altering the Council/Manager form of government. Tigard
citizens didn't vote on this. If Tigard citizens knew that the Mayor was going to
be the City's lobbyist, maybe they would have made a different choice or at least
had a say in the matter. I think you still have some work to do on this process.
