Information
ISSUE
This discussion is a follow up to the June 15 presentation by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) and
Trust for Public Lands (TPL) staff who are assisting the City regarding a potential parks bond.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Listen to input from the PRAB and TPL and advise staff regarding the amount of the requested bond and the
appropriate distribution of the requested funds. This information is necessary for the preparation of documents
which will be considered by the Council on July 27, 2010.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
• In November 2009 the bond measure for $20 million for the purchase of parks, open space and trails failed
by a margin of 5 to 47 %.
• Council goals for 2010 . include strategizing with PRAB on a 2010 Parks Bond.
• The PRAB goals include actively pursuing a 2010 bond measure to identify and pursue possible open
space /land acquisitions.
• The Parks and Recreation System Master Plan has identified that.245 more acres of land will be needed by
2028. Presently, 82 acres of park and open space are needed to meet current standards.
• The Council must decide whether or not to pursue the bond measure for the November election.
• At the June 15 Council meeting, TPL discussed their survey results and the potential bond amount. TPL
believes November 2010 is the correct time for the election.
• Citizens support the acquisition and preservation of land over building, improving, or maintaining parks.
• At the same Council meeting, the PRAB discussed development and acquisition of properties. The PRAB
feel citizens support parks in their neighborhood.
• Council directed the PRAB to focus more on acquiring property and less on development of parks.
• Council wants to ask for less money than the previously failed bond measure. PRAB can state how much
money Tigard has received in grants to reduce the bond amount.
• At the June 21 PRAB meeting, the PRAB unanimously passed a motion to recommend to Council a $17
million parks bond to go to voters. If approved, 80% will be used for land acquisition and 20% will be used
to develop and improve existing or new parks.
• The PRAB has made a formal resolution, asking the Council to submit a bond measure for parks and open
space in the amount of $17 million.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose to delay the election date until 2011 or later, or decide to forgo the election completely
and direct staff to explore alternative methods to fund these purchases and improvements. Council could also alter
the amount of the proposed bond or change the allocation of the proceeds between uses.
Council also needs to determine whether to refer a second bond measure to the same ballot as suggested by
Councilor Henderson.
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
3. Strategize with PRAB on a 2010 Parks Bond
a. Decide whether to return to ballot and, if so, when
b. Develop land acquisition strategies (potential options to purchase, etc.)
DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $500
Budgeted (yes or no): Yes
Where Budgeted (department /program): Parks
Additional Fiscal Notes:
An election in November 2010 is estimated to cost the City around $500 for publication of legal notices and other
minor expenses.
Bonds would mature in 21 years or less from issuance and may be issued in one or more series. The estimated
additional cost to property owners, if $15 million in bonds are sold, would be $0.26 per $1,000 of assessed
valuation. For the owner of a home with the median assessed value $207,000, the additional monthly cost would be
about $4.49 per month or $54 per year.
Passage of this bond (or securing some other source for $15 million) will allow the City to leverage additional
millions of dollars in future System Development Charges (SDCs).

THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT
ADOPTED JUNE 2, 2008
The people of the City of Santa Ana, at an election held on February 5,
2008, approved an amendment to the City Charter of the City of Santa Ana which
states: "The City of Santa Ana shall adopt a Code of Ethics and Conduct for
elected off icials and members of appointed boards, commissions, and
committees to assure public confidence in the integrity of local government
elected and appointed officials." Consistent with the vote of the people, the
following Code of Ethics and Conduct is hereby adopted by the City of Santa Ana
to ensure effective and fair operation of the local government of the City of Santa
Ana.
PREAMBLE
It is the intent of this code to achieve fair, ethical, and accountable local
government for the City of Santa Ana. The people of Santa Ana expect public
officials, both elected and appointed, to comply with both the letter and the spirit
of the laws of the State of California, the United States of America, and the
Charter, Municipal Code, and established policies of the City of Santa Ana
affecting the operations of local government. In addition, public officials are
expected to comply with the provisions of this Code of Ethics and Conduct
established pursuant to the expressed will of the people. All persons covered by
this code will aspire to meet the highest ethical standards in the conduct of their
responsibility as an elected or appointed official of the City of Santa Ana.
This code addresses various aspects related to the governance of the City
of Santa Ana and supplements, but does not supplant other laws and rules that
prescribe the legal responsibilities of City officials. These include, but are not
limited to, the Federal and State Constitutions, various provisions of the
California Government Code (such as the Brown Act and the Political Reform
Act), the Labor Code, laws prohibiting discrimination and harassment, and the
City of Santa Ana Charter and Municipal Code. Elected and appointed officials
are expected to be familiar with these laws to ensure that they exercise their
public responsibilities in a proper fashion. This code is not designed to be used
as a tool to remove appointed officials, as the City Council retains the right under
the Charter and Municipal Code to remove appointed officials in accordance with
those provisions.
While it is not possible to anticipate and provide a rule of conduct and
ethics for all situations that public officials may face, this Code of Ethics and
Conduct is designed to provide a framework to guide public officials in their daily
duties.
II.
SCOPE
The provisions of this Code of Ethics and Conduct shall apply to the
Mayor and members of the City Council, and to all members of the boards,
commissions, and committees appointed by the City Council or the Mayor or the

members acting in their official capacities and in the discharge of their duties.

II. Roles and Responsibilities of Elected Officials
NOTE: For the purpose of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct, the term council
member refers to Mayor and Council; all members of the City Council.
2
THE MAYOR
The Mayor shall be the chairman of the council and preside over its deliberations. He or
she may make and second motions and shall have a voice and vote in all its proceedings.
He or she shall be recognized as head of the city government for all ceremonial purposes
and by the governor for purposes of military law, but shall have no regular administrative
duties.
THE VICE - MAYOR
The council shall designate one (I) of its members as Vice Mayor, who shall serve in
such capacity at the pleasure of the council. The vice mayor shall perform the duties of
the mayor during the mayor's absence or disability.
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS
All powers of the city, not in conflict with the constitution and subject to the limitations
of this charter, shall be vested in the council, who shall enact appropriate legislation and
do and perform any and all acts and things which may be necessary and proper to carry
out these powers or any of the provisions of this charter.
Code of Conduct
For Elected Officials
This Code of Conduct is designed to describe the manner in which council members
should treat one another, city staff, constituents, and others they come into contact with in
representing the City of Glendale.
The constant and consistent theme through all of the conduct guidelines is "respect."
Elected officials are called upon to exhibit behavior consistent with the Code of Conduct
and Code of Ethics at all times.
Section 1 - Council Conduct with One Another
A. Use formal titles
The council should refer to one another formally during public meetings as Mayor, Vice
Mayor or council member followed by the individual's last name.
B. Use civility and decorum in discussions and debate
Difficult questions, tough challenges to a particular point of view, and criticism of ideas
and information are legitimate elements of free democracy in action. This does not
allow, however, council members to make belligerent, personal, impertinent, slanderous,
threatening, abusive, or personally disparaging comments in public meetings or during
3
individual encounters. No shouting or physical actions that could be construed as
threatening or demeaning will be acceptable.
If a council member is personally offended by the remarks of another council member,
the offended council member should make notes of the actual words used and call for a
"point of personal privilege" that challenges the other council member to justify or
apologize for the language used.
C. Honor the role of the Chair in maintaining order
It is the responsibility of the Mayor, as Chair of the council under the Charter, to keep the
comments of council members on track during public meetings. Council members
should honor efforts by the Mayor to focus discussion on current agenda items, If there
is disagreement about the agenda or the Mayor's actions, those objections should be
voiced politely and with reason, following commonly recognized parliamentary
procedure.
D. Demonstrate effective problem- solving approaches
Council members have a public forum to show how individuals with disparate points of
view can find common ground and seek a compromise that benefits the community as a
whole. This public forum should be used in the most effective and beneficial manner.
Section. 2 Council Conduct with City Staff
A. Treat all staff as professionals
Clear, honest communication that respects the abilities, experience, and dignity of each
individual is expected. Poor behavior towards staff is not acceptable. Council members
should refer to staff by their title followed by the individual's' last name in public
meetings when first introduced.
B. Limit contact to specific City staff
Questions of City staff and/or requests for additional background information shall be
directed to the City Manager, City Attorney, Assistant City Manager, Deputy City
Managers, or Department Heads.
Requests for follow -up or directions to staff should be made only through the City
Manager or the City Attorney when appropriate. When in doubt about what staff contact
is appropriate, council members should ask the City Manger for direction. Materials
supplied to a council member in response to a request will be made available to all
members of the council so that all have equal access to information.
C. Do not disrupt City staff from their jobs
Council members should not disrupt City staff while they are in meetings, on the phone,
or engrossed in performing their job functions in order to have their individual needs met.
4
D. Never publicly criticize an individual employee
Council should never express concerns about the performance of a City employee in
public, to the employee directly or to the employee's manager. Comments about staff
performance should only be made to the City Manager through private correspondence or
conversation. Comments about staff in the office of the appointed officials should be
made directly to appointed official.
E. Do not get involved in administrative functions
Except as otherwise provided in this charter, neither the council nor any of its members
shall interfere with the execution by the city manager of his powers and duties, or order,
directly or indirectly the appointment by the city manager of any person to an office or
employment his removal there from. Except for purposes of inquiry, the council and its
mernhers shall deal with the administrative service under the city manager solely through
the city manager, and neither the council nor any member thereof shall give orders to any
subordinate of the city manager, either publicly or privately.
Nothing in this section shall be construed, however, as prohibiting the council while in
open session from fully and freely discussing with or suggesting to the city manager
anything pertaining to city affairs or the interests of the city.
F. Do not attend meetings with City staff unless requested by staff.
Even if the council member does not say anything, the council member's presence
implies support, shows partiality, intimidates staff, and hampers staff's ability to do their
job objectively.
G. Limit requests for staff support
Council members are provided with staff to assist with various administrative activities.
These staff members are . merit system employees and, while available to assist the
council members to which they are assigned, they remain subject to all the rules and
directives that are applicable to all City employees. Requests for additional staff support,
beyond the currently assigned' staff, even in high - priority or emergency situations, should
be made only to the City Manager who is responsible for allocating City resources in
order to maintain professional, well -run City functions.
H. Do not solicit political support from staff
Council members should not solicit any type of political support (financial contributions,
display of posters or lawn signs, name on support list, collection of petition signatures,
etc.) from City staff. City staff may, as private citizens within constitutional rights,
support political candidates but all such activities must be done away from the workplace
and the staff cannot identify themselves in any manner as City employees.

Section 3 - Council Conduct with The Public
In Public Meetings
Making the public feel welcome is an important part of the democratic process. No signs
of partiality, prejudice or disrespect should be evident on the part of individual council
members toward an individual participating in a public forum. Every effort should be
made to be fair and impartial in listening to public testimony.
A. Be welcoming to speakers and treat them with care and gentleness
For many citizens,.speaking in front of council is a new and difficult experience. Under
such circumstances many are nervous. • Council members are expected to treat citizens
with care and respect during public hearings. Council members should commit full
attention to the speakers or any materials relevant to the topic at hand. Comments and
non - verbal expressions should be appropriate, respectful and professional. Questions by
council members to speakers should seek to clarify or expand information.
B. Be fair and equitable in allocating public hearing time to individual speakers
The Mayor will determine and announce time limits on speakers at the start of the public
hearing process. Generally, each speaker will be allocated five- minutes with applicants
and appellants or their designated representatives allowed more time. If many speakers
are anticipated; the Mayor may shorten the time limit and/or ask speakers to limit
themselves to new information and points of view not already covered by previous
speakers. The public hearings and citizen comments time will be conducted in
accordance with Resolution 3136.
Each speaker may only speak once during the public hearing unless the council requests
additional clarification later in the process. After the close of the public hearing, no more
public testimony will be accepted unless the Mayor reopens the public hearing for a
limited and specific purpose.
C. Active listening
Council members shall actively listen to and be attentive to speakers.
D. Ask for clarification, but avoid debate and argument with the public
Only the Mayor, not the individual council members, should interrupt a speaker during a
presentation: However, a council member can ask the Mayor for a point of order if the
speaker is off the topic or exhibiting behavior or language the council member finds
disturbing. Questions by council members to members of the public testifying should
seek to clarify or expand information.
E. Follow parliamentary procedure in conducting public meetings
The City Attorney serves as advisory parliamentarian for the City and is available to
answer questions or interpret situations according to parliamentary procedures. Final
6
•
rulings on parliamentary procedure are made by the Mayor; subject to the appeal of the
full council.
In Unofficial Settings
F. Make no promises on behalf of the Council in unofficial settings.
Council members will frequently be asked to explain a council action or to give their
opinion about an issue as they meet and talk with constituents in the community.
It is appropriate to give a brief overview of City policy and to refer to City staff for
further information. Overt or implicit promises of specific council action, or to promise
City staff will take some specific action are to be avoided.
Section 4 - Council Conduct with Other Public Agencies
A. Be clear about representing the city or personal interests
If a council member appears before another governmental agency or organization to give
a statement on an issue, the council member must clearly state 1) whether his or her
statement'reflects personal opinion or is the official stance of the City; 2) whether this is
the majority or minority opinion of the council.
B. Representation of the City on an Outside Board, Commission, or to an Outside
Agency
If the council member is representing the City, that council member must consistently
support and advocate the City's official position on an issue and cannot foster or further a
personal viewpoint that is inconsistent with the official City position.
Council members must inform the council of their involvement in an outside organization
if that organization is or may become involved in any issue within the City's jurisdiction.
If an individual council member publicly represents or speaks on behalf of another
organization whose position differs from the City's official position on any issue, the
council member must clearly communicate the organization upon whose behalf they are
speaking and must withdraw from voting as a council member upon any action that has
bearing upon the conflicting issue.
C. Correspondence also should be equally clear about representation
City letterhead shall be used . only when the council member is solely representing and
speaking on behalf of the City and with the council member's official capacity. A copy of
official correspondence should be given to the council office and mayor's office staff to
be maintained as a public record.
7
•
D. Representation of the City on Intergovernmental Commissions and Other
Outside Entities
Council members serving on committees or boards as the City representative on outside
entities or agencies shall properly communicate with other council members on issues
pertinent to the city.
Section 5 - Council Conduct With. Boards and Commissions*
*Mayor and City Manager ex- officio members.
The Mayor and City Manager shall be ex- officio members, without voting privileges, of
all boards and commissions.
• A. Limit contact with Board and Commission members to questions of clarification
Council members shall not contact a Board or Commission member to lobby on behalf of
an individual, business, or developer. Council members may contact Board or
Commission members in order to clarify a position taken by the Board or Commission or
a member of that Board or Commission. Council members may respond to inquiries from
Board and Commission members. Communications should be for information only.
B. If attending a Board or Commission meeting, be careful to only express personal
opinions
Council members may attend any Board or Commission meeting, which are always open
to any member of the public. However, they should be sensitive to the way their
participation— especially if it is on behalf of an individual, business or developer —could
be viewed as unfairly affecting the process.
Except as allowed by the City charter, public comments by a council member at a Board
or Commission meeting should be clearly made as individual opinion and not a
representation of the feelings of the council.
C. Remember that Boards and Commissions serve the community, not individual
council members
The City Council appoints individuals to serve on Boards and Commissions, and it is the
responsibility of Boards and Commissions to follow policy established by the council.
However, Board and Commission: members do not report to: individual council members,
no should council members feel they have the power or right to threaten Board and
Commission members with removal if they disagree about an issue. Appointment and re-
appointment to a Board or Commission will be based on such criteria as recommended by
the Government Services Committee.
D. Be respectful of diverse opinions
A primary role of Boards and Commissions is to represent many points of view in the
community and to provide the council with advice based on a full spectrum of concerns
and perspectives. Council members may have a closer working relationship with some
8
individuals serving on Boards and Commissions, but must be fair and respectful of all
citizens serving on Boards and Commissions.
E. Keep political support away from public forums
Board and Commission members may offer political support to a council member, but
not in a public forum while conducting official duties. Conversely, council members
may support Board and Commission members who are running for office, but not in an
official forum in their capacity as a council member.
Section 6 - Council Conduct with the Media
A. Expression of Positions on Issue
When communicating with the media, council members should clearly differentiate
between personal opinions and the official position of the City. All council members
represent one vote of seven and until a vote on any issue is taken, council members'
positions are merely their own.
B. Discussions Regarding Staff Members
Council members should not discuss personnel issues or other. matters regarding
individual staff members in the media. Any issues pertaining to staff should only be
addressed directly to the City. Manager.
SECTION 7 — Sanctions & Violations
A. Process
(1) The first and most important step in this section is the requirement that the offended
Council member address . the concern with the offending Council member including
a description of the specific action observed, the relationship of that event to the
Code and, if applicable, the impact it had on the offended Council member. The
purpose of this first step is to assure that an attempt has been made to discuss the
issue and resolve the conflict without proceeding further. This step requires no
formal action and no involvement of other Council members.
(2) Either party may request, and both must agree, to seek a third party who will assist
in facilitating the discussion toward a mutually satisfactory conclusion. If any
expenses are incurred they will be paid for equally from the district funds of each
member engaged in the mediation.
(3) If the situation cannot be settled through the process in steps (I) and (2), either
Council member may choose to refer the concern to the entire Council for their
review. The Council will serve as a committee of the whole for purposes of Code
violation and sanction consideration.
9
(4) To present the concern to the Council, the offended member must advise the
offending Council member that the issue will be taken to the Council and
subsequently ask the City Manager to post the issue for the earliest upcoming
executive session. All laws pertaining to executive session will apply. Included in
those rules is the option for the offending Council member to exercise their right to
request that the discussion be held in an open hearing. The City Attorney's Office
will prepare notice to the Council member or Council members that are to be
discussed in executive session as required by law.
(5) The Council will discuss the issue in order to:
(a) become fully informed;
(b) determine if there appears to be a violation of the Code of Conduct;
(c) seek resolution without further action or, if necessary schedule the issue for
an upcoming public hearing for final determination regarding whether a
violation occurred and if necessary;
(d) determine what sanction is most appropriate; customarily, sanctions are
limited to a letter of reprimand or censure.
(6) A 2/3 vote of the Council at a regular council meeting will be required for a
determination that a violation has occurred and likewise, a 2/3 vote for the sanction
to be imposed.
(7) If a sanction is imposed, the language will follow a specific format to be established
by the Council and used consistently as such situations occur.
B. Effects of Violations
The Code of Conduct alone does not provide a basis for challenging the validity of any
final enactment, resolution, decision, determination, or recommendation of the council, a
board or a commission.

2. CITIZEN COMMUNICATION — July 13, 2010
• Citizen Communication — Sign Up Sheet
Ronald Blodgett, 13754 SW Benchview Place, asked the City Council to reconsider closing
the City facility room rentals for the public. Mayor Dirksen acknowledged this was reviewed
during the budget process. Staff had considered several options to determine how this could
function without it being a cost to the City. Mr. Blodgett indicated he outlined some ideas
he had regarding the room rentals and he has talked with staff. Council consensus was for
staff to revisit the issue for renting the rooms to the public and to review the suggestions
made by Mr. Blodgett. Councilor Webb asked staff to determine what the actual charges
would have to be for the rooms to recover costs. City Manager Prosser advised staff had
reviewed the costs, which included a portion of the utilities and janitorial services. Public
Works Director Koellermeier will provide this information to Mr. Blodgett. Mayor
Dirksen asked if staff could review Mr. Blodgett's idea that the reason the costs were so high
was because there were a lot of staff involved and that there might be a more efficient way
to do this. Mr. Blodgett said there are no additional costs for the rooms whether they are
closed or open. Councilor Webb pointed out there is a need for extra janitorial service, staff
checking room users in and out, etc. Mayor Dirksen agreed there are costs associated with
renting the rooms; however, perhaps there is a way cut costs.

Agenda Title: Approve Workers' Compensation Insurance for Volunteers - Resolution
Prepared By: Loreen Mills, Administration
Item Type: Motion Requested Meeting Type: Consent Agenda
Information
ISSUE
Should the City continue to provide Workers' Compensation Insurance for volunteers to protect them if they are
injured during their volunteer work time?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Approve resolution to provide workers' compensation benefits to City volunteers 7/1/10 through 6/30/11.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
• Protect City volunteers by providing Workers' Compensation Insurance for them when they volunteer
• Workers' Compensation Insurance is less costly and provides more benefits than health insurance
• City Council places high value on volunteers and the volunteer program and has provided this coverage for
several years to protect volunteers if they are injured during volunteer work
• Oregon law requires cities to decide whether Workers' Compensation Insurance will be provided to
volunteers (ORS 656.031)
• City County Insurance Services requires Council to adopt a resolution to declare the City's intent to provide
volunteer workers' comp coverage
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
• Provide health -care coverage, accidental death & dismemberment insurance or no coverage at all rather than
Workers' Compensation Insurance for volunteers. Health & accidental death/dismemberment insurance
coverage is more expensive and would provide less coverage for volunteers than Workers' Comp. Not
providing any coverage for injuries is not in keeping with Council's past practice.

Agenda Title: Info PH- Approve Formation of the Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 48 (Lower
Cherry Dr)
Prepared By: Kathy Mollusky, Public Works
Item Type: Public Hearing - Informational Meeting Type: Select One
Information
ISSUE
Shall City Council approve the formation of a sewer reimbursement district to construct a sanitary sewer project as
part of the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program?
STAFF / ACTION REQUEST
Approve, by motion, the attached resolution forming the Reimbursement District.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
• At its July 24, 2007 meeting, City Council was requested to form a :reimbursement district serving 23 lots
along SW Cherry Drive. Following public testimony, City Council approved the Resolution forming the
District, removing four of the lots: 7510, 7530, 7550 and 7570 from the district. These four lots, along the
lower portion of SW Cherry Drive, were to be served from a line behind the houses constructed through a
separate reimbursement district. Council approved the formation. of Reimbursement District No. 44 without
these four lots by readopting; Resolution No. 07 -50 on August 28, 2007 following an informational hearing.
This proposed reimbursement district would provide sewer service to the four remaining lots along SW
Cherry Drive as directed by City Council.
• Through the City's Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program, the City would install public sewers to each lot
within the Reimbursement District and the owners would reimburse the City for a fair share of the cost of the
public sewer at the time of connection to the sewer. In addition, each owner would be responsible for
disconnecting the existing septic system according to County rules and any other plumbing modifications
necessary to connect to the public line.
• On May 3, 2010, staff held a neighborhood meeting for owners to review the project procedure, construction
schedule, and estimated costs. All four owners were represented,at the meeting. Those attending were
generally supportive of the project and recognize the need for sewers. Written comments collected at the
meeting from each of the owners are attached.
• Each owner has been notified of the hearing by mail. The notice, mailing list and additional details are
included in the City Engineer's Report attached as Exhibit A to the proposed resolution.
• If Council approves this request to form the Reimbursement District, bids from contractors to construct the
sewer will be requested.
• Another resolution to finalize the Reimbursement District, with cost adjustments, will be submitted for
Council action after construction is completed and actual construction costs are determined.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
The proposed Reimbursement District meets Goal No.1, "Implement Comprehensive Plan," by furthering
Comprehensive Goal 11.3, "Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future
needs of the community."
DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $155,657
Budgeted (yes or no): Yes

Additional Fiscal Notes:
The estimated cost of the project is $155,657. This amount includes the estimated cost of construction plus an
amount for administration and engineering as defined in TMC 13.09.040(1). Funding is by unrestricted sanitary

Proposed Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 48
(SW Lower Cherry Drive)
•
At this meeting, City Council will: be requested to form a sewer reimbursement district to
provide your neighborhood with sewer service as described during the May 3, 2010,
neighborhood meeting. There is no requirement to connect to the sewer or pay any fee until
connection is made. Each property owner's estimated fair share is summarized in the
attached tables.
•
As discussed at the neighborhood meeting, the amount each property owner will be required
to pay will be limited to $6,000 for connections completed within three years of City Council
approval of the final City Engineer's Report following construction, in accordance with
Resolution No. 01 -46. Please note that this resolution also requires the owner to pay any fair
share amounts that exceed $15,000. Consequently, if the final fair share for an owner
exceeds $15,000, the owner would be required to pay $6,00() plus the amount the fair share
exceeds $15,000. Under Resolution No. 03 -55, payment of the amount in excess of $15,000
may be deferred until the owner's lot is developed.
In addition, the owner would be required to pay a connection fee, currently $4,135, at the
time of connection to the sewer. Also, property owners are responsible for disconnecting
their existing septic system according to Washington County rules and for any other
• modifications necessary to connect to the public sewer.

Business Meeting.
Date: 07/13/2010
Length (in minutes): 15 Minutes
Agenda Title: Consider an Ordinance Updating Tigard Municipal Code (TMC) 15.20 Street Maintenance Fee
Prepared By: Kathy Mollusky, Public Works
Item Type: Ordinance Meeting Type: Council Business Meeting - Main
Information
ISSUE
Shall Council adopt an ordinance updating TMC 15.20 Street Maintenance Fee clarifying vacancy waivers?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends Council approve the ordinance.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
• The current Street Maintenance Fee was adopted at the January 5, 2010 Council meeting.
• As approved,. Council granted a.vacancy waiver to fully vacant buildings.
• Clarification was needed regarding buildings that are only partially vacant.
• This amendment to TMC 15.20.070 clarifies Street Maintenance Fee vacancy waiver for partially vacant
buildings.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose to not adopt the ordinance and staff would continue to operate under the current Tigard
Municipal Code.
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Fiscal Impact
Fiscal Information:
The current code allows a property owner to suspend street maintenance fees while their property is vacant. The
new code does not change this, but does require that the owner reapply every six months when their property is
vacant. The fee can be doubled as a penalty if a property that was reported as vacant becomes occupied without
notice to the city. For single occupancy properties, turning off water service would be considered a vacancy request
to suspend the street maintenance fee and turning on water service would cause the fee to resume automatically.
Both of these refinements to vacancy administration will result in more accurate fee billing. This could result in
either an increase or decrease if fees collected, but it will be fair to all fee payers. Tracking vacancies and following
up every six months will increase administrative costs. The adopted budget for fiscal year 2011 contains $20,000
for a part time person to maintain the street maintenance fee database and follow -up on vacancies.
