• Unless specifically noted otherwise, the meetings of Council shall begin at 6:30 p.m. at the
established place of meeting. On the second and fourth Tuesdays, the meetings will begin with a
Study Session following by the Business meeting. On the third Tuesday, the Workshop meeting
will begin at 6:30 p.m.
• Roll Call /Voting Order: The roll shall be called in alphabetical order by last name. At each
succeeding meeting at which a roll call vote is taken, the council person who voted last during
the previous meeting, shall vote first and the Council person who voted first during the
preceding meeting shall vote second and so on in a rotating fashion. It is the intent that the
voting order remain fixed for each meeting and that a different Council person shall vote last
during each separate meeting for the duration of the meeting.
• Charter Section 19 provides that the concurrence of a majority of the members of the Council present
and voting, when a quorum of the Council is present, at a Council meeting shall be necessary to decide
any question before the Council. A Council member who abstains or passes shall be considered
present for determining whether a quorum exists, but shall not be counted as voting. Therefore,
abstentions and 'passes' shall not be counted in the total vote and only votes in favor of or
against a measure shall be counted in determining whether a measure receives a majority.
City Council Compensation
Section 2.44.020 of the Tigard Municipal Code provides for compensation for attendance at Council
meetings and meetings for an intergovernmental board, committee or agency. The amount of the
compensation for Council members may be reviewed and set annually by resolution of the City
Council as part of the budget cycle. As part of the annual review, Council may elect to enter into
an agreement with the Mayor or one City Councilor to assume additional responsibilities for
additional compensation. The additional duties shall relate to representing the city on regional, state
or federal issues and committees or task forces. The responsibilities and compensation shall be set
by agreement between the Mayor or Councilor and the Council members.
GENERAL GROUNDRULE PROVISIONS
The next portion of this document is divided into three major sections identifying groundrules for
the Meeting Process, Communication and Code of Conduct that:
• Establish the meeting process;
• Guide individual interaction and communication among Councilors and with the
community;
• Set out the Code of Conduct providing the framework to guide Council members in their
actions and conduct; and
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 2
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
• Govern proceedings of the City Council, Local Contract Review Board and City Center
Development Agency where they do not conflict with statutory provisions.
MEETING PROCESS
All Council meetings are open to the public with the exception of Executive Sessions, which are
called under certain circumstances and topics are limited to those defined in ORS 192.660.
o The Chair or other members if the Chair fails to remember may call for a Point of Order at
or around 9 p.m. to review remaining agenda items. The Council may reset or reschedule
items, which it feels may not be reached prior to the regular time of adjournment.
o The Council's goal is to adjourn prior to 9:30 p.m. unless extended by majority consent of
Council members present. If not continued by majority consent, the meeting shall be
adjourned to the next scheduled meeting or the meeting shall be continued to another regular
or special meeting at another date and time.
o Regularly scheduled business meetings and workshops are generally televised.
Definitions - Meeting Types, Study Sessions and Executive Sessions:
BUSINESS MEETINGS
o Regular meetings where Council may deliberate toward a final decision on an agenda item
including consideration of ordinances, resolutions & conducting public hearings.
o Business meetings are generally scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. with a study session
preceding the Business Meeting at 6:30 p.m. Study Sessions are a workshop -type of meeting
(see Study Session definition below).
o The "Citizen Communication" portion of the agenda is a regular feature on the Council
Business meetings. This item will be placed near the beginning of the Council Agenda to
give citizens a chance to introduce a topic to the City Council. Citizen Communications are
limited to two minutes in length and must be directed to topics that are not on the Council
Agenda for that meeting.
o At the conclusion of the Citizen Communication period, either the Mayor, a Council
member or staff member will comment what, if any, follow -up action will be taken to
respond to each issue. At the beginning of Citizen Communication at the next business
meeting, staff will update the Council and community on the review of the issue(s), the
action taken to address the issue, and a statement of what additional action is planned.
Council may decide to refer an issue to staff and /or schedule the topic for a later Council
meeting.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 3
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
WORKSHOP MEETINGS
o Regular meetings where Council reviews and discusses agenda topics. Council may not make
final decisions during the meeting. Public testimony is not scheduled unless the Mayor or
Council so choose.
o Appropriate topics for Workshop meetings include:
-- Introduce a Topic: Staff will bring up new items to determine whether Council wants
to entertain further discussion and whether to schedule the topic as an item on a
future agenda.
--- Educational Meetings: Council will review research information presented by staff,
consultants, or task forces - usually as a process check; i.e., is the issue on the right
"track "?
- Meet with individuals from City boards and committees or other jurisdictions to
discuss items of common interest (examples: Tigard Planning Commission, Lake
Oswego City Council, the Tigard - Tualatin School District).
- Administrative Updates: Items such as calendar information, scheduling preferences,
process checks.
STUDY SESSIONS
o Study Sessions usually precede or follow a Business Meeting or Workshop Meeting that are
open to the public but not regularly televised.
o Conducted in a workshop -type setting to provide Council an opportunity to review the
Business Meeting Agenda and ask for clarification on issues or processes. Information is also
shared on time - sensitive items.
o Any Council member may call for a Point of Order to stop the discussion because he or she
proposes that it would be more appropriate to discuss the matter during a Council Business
Meeting.
o If a Point of Order is raised, the City Council will discuss the Point of Order to determine
whether the discussion should continue or be held during a Council Business Meeting. The
decision on whether to continue the discussion or not shall be determined by the consensus
of the Council members present.
o If Council discusses a Council Agenda Topic in a Study Session prior to that Council
meeting, either the Presiding Officer or City Manager will briefly state at the introduction of
the Agenda Topic, the fact that Council discussed the topic in the Study Session and mention
the key points of the discussion.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 4
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
o Executive Sessions are held by the Council with appropriate staff or advisors in attendance.
The purpose is to review certain matters in a setting closed to the public. Executive Sessions
may be held during a regular, special or emergency meeting after the Presiding Officer has
identified the ORS authorization for holding the Executive Session. Permitted topics are
identified in ORS 192.660 and include employment of a public officer, deliberations with the
persons designated by the Council to carry on labor negotiations, deliberations with persons
designated to negotiate real property transactions, and to consult with legal counsel regarding
current litigation or litigation likely to be filed.
Council Agendas and Packet Information
o The City Manager will schedule agenda items with the objective of maintaining balanced
agendas and allowing time to discuss topics within the meeting's time allotment.
o The City Manager will schedule items allowing time for staff research and agenda cycle
deadlines.
o The agenda cycle calls for submittal of items ten days in advance of a Council meeting. With
the exception of Executive Sessions, add -on topics and handouts during the meeting are to be
minimized.
o Councilors will prepare in advance of public meetings by reviewing packet material and
requesting further necessary information in advance of the meeting. Staff will prepare in
advance of public meetings by presenting issues fully in packets and providing additional
information requested by Council.
o Council is supportive of the role of staff in offering professional recommendations. Staff is
aware of Council's right to make final decisions after considering the staff recommendation,
public input, the record and Council deliberation on the matter.
o Council members should attempt to give at least 24 hours' notice by advising the City Manager
and the City Recorder of a request to remove a Consent Agenda item for separate discussion.
The City Recorder shall notify all Councilors of such requests prior to the start of the Business
Meeting.
Councilors Scheduling Agenda Items
o Councilors are encouraged to suggest agenda topics at the bench or to contact the City
Manager about scheduling an item on the Tentative Agenda.
o Add -on agenda items should be brought up at the start of the meeting and are generally
considered only if continuing to a later agenda is not practical.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 5
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
o Requests for legislative action of Council may be initiated by an individual Council member
during a Council meeting. The City Manager will respond to the request consistent with
resources and priorities, or refer the question of scheduling to Council as a whole.
Councilors Use of Electronic Communications Devices During Council Meetings
Definitions for this section:
Electronic Communications means e-mail, text messages, or other forms of
communications transmitted or received by technological means.
Electronic Communications Devices means lap -top computers, blackberries, cell - phones,
notebooks, or other similar devices capable of transmitting or receiving messages electronically.
o Councilors shall not send or receive electronic communications concerning any matter
pending before the Council during a Council meeting.
o Councilors shall not use electronic communication devices to review or access information
regarding matters not in consideration before the Council during a Council meeting.
o Councilors shall not access the internet but may access Council packet information
concerning any matter pending before the Council during a Council meeting.
o Any electronic communications regarding a quasi - judicial matter to be considered by
Council is an ex -parte contact and shall be disclosed as required by law.
COMMUNICATION
General
o Recognize that you are seen as a Councilor at all times, no matter how you see yourself at
any particular time. Thus, Councilors are always treated by Administration as Council
members.
o Whenever you put any in writing, assume that everyone in the city is looking over
your shoulder.
o Do not respond to communications directed to the full Council. The City Manager or
Mayor will respond.
o If a communication is directed to an individual Councilor, you may choose to respond as an
individual or refer to the City Manager.
o Information received by a Council Member that affects the Council should be shared with
the whole Council. The City Manager is to decide on "gray areas," but too much
information is preferable to too little.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 6
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
o Budget cuts or increases are policy decisions. Budgets will not be cut "piece meal" or "across
the board," but rather should be made in service or program areas, giving staff full
opportunity to provide data clearly defining the anticipated impact of the action.
o It is the policy of the Council that if Councilors are contacted regarding labor relations
during labor negotiations or conflict resolution proceedings, then Councilors have no
comment.
o Councilors and the City Manager agree to report and discuss any contact that might affect
labor relations with the entire Council in Executive Session.
Communications Between City Councilors, City Manager and Staff
o Councilors are encouraged to maintain open communications with the City Manager, both
as a group and individually.
o Councilors are encouraged to take issues to the City Manager first, giving as much
information as possible to ensure a thorough response.
o In the absence of the City Manager, Councilors are encouraged to contact the Assistant City
Manager. In the absence of both the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager,
Councilors are encouraged to contact the Department Head, realizing that the Department
Head will discuss any such inquiries with the City Manager.
o City Manager shares information equally with Councilors.
o Councilors are encouraged to avoid substantive contact with staff below the Department
Head to avoid possible disruption of work, confusion on priorities, and limited scope of
responses. In no case, should Councilors direct the work of staff without prior approval of
the Department Head or City Manager.
o Our goal is mutual confidence and respect with staff. Compliment staff members when they
make good presentations. Be friendly. Attend staff occasions when you can.
Communications Among Councilors
o No surprises.
o Be courteous.
o Honestly share concerns and opinions with each other.
o Don't blurt it out on TV.
o If you hold back in a meeting, follow up later with fellow Councilors or the City Manager.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 7
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
o Bounce ideas off each other by phone or informal conversation, always mindful not to form
a quorum.
o Spend some casual time together.
Communications with Community /General Public
o Councilors and the General Public are reminded of the Agenda cycle and cut -off dates.
Administrative staff is available to explain how public issues are addressed and how citizen
input may be accomplished.
o Communication that represents the City's position on an issue should come through City
Hall and be provided by the City Manager. Direct submittals or inquiries to the Council or
individual Councilors should be referred to the City Manager, or Councilors may ask the
City Manager to look into an issue.
o Official press releases are encouraged, both to assure accurate reporting and to advise Council
and Staff of the official position communicated to the press. Press releases are issued through
the City Manager's Office.
Communications with Potential Mayor /Council Candidates
o Council members will host an event to share with potential Mayor or City Council
candidates what is involved in serving on the City Council.
o Council members may support a person running for office but they must declare this as an
individual endorsement and not in their official capacity as a Council member.
Communication Between Partners and Allies
o In general, let the Mayor speak for the City.
o Keep long - term relationships in mind. Don't over - focus on the issue at hand.
o Take issues to the City Manager first.
Council Communication with Other Public Agencies
As the Portland metropolitan region continues to grow, it is critical that Tigard be at the "table"
with other jurisdictions in the region and clearly represent the City's official position.
o Council members will 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 whether the statement reflects
personal opinion or is the official position of the City.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 8
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
o If a Council member is representing the City, that Council member will 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.
o Council members will inform the Council of their involvement in an outside organization if
that organization is or they believe 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 an issue, the
Council member must clearly communicate the organization upon whose behalf they are
speaking. The Council member must withdraw from voting as a Council member upon any
actions that have bearing upon the conflicting issue.
o Council members serving on committees or boards as the City representative with outside
entities or agencies will communicate with other Council members on issues pertinent to the
City.
Communication with City Boards, Committees and Commissions
The independent advice of City Boards, Committees and Commissions is critical to the public
decision - making process. For that reason, Council members will refrain from using their positions
to influence unduly the deliberation or outcomes of board proceedings.
Members of boards, commissions, and committees are referred to generally as "board" in this section
of the Groundrules.
o Council members will not contact a board member to lobby on behalf of an individual,
business or developer. Council members may contact the board member in order to clarify a
position taken by the Board. Council members may respond to inquiries from board
members. Communications should be for information only.
o Council members may attend any board meeting, which is open to any member of the
public. However, Council members should be sensitive to the way their participation could
be viewed as unfairly affecting the process.
o Board members do not report to individual Council members. Individual councilors have no
authority to remove board members.
Communication as the Council Liaison with City Boards
o Council liaison assignments are determined by consensus of City Council. The goal is to
have assignments evenly divided between Council members. Should two or more Council
members seek appointment to a position the longest serving Council member will have first
choice.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 9
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
o Council Liaisons are to periodically attend Board meetings, listen to the Board discussion, set
context for the Board regarding Council decisions /goals /policies and City priorities, answer
questions and carry concerns and information back to the full Council.
o Council Liaisons are not to direct the business or decision - making process of the Board and
do not vote of matters before the Board.
o Council Liaisons do not initiate, propose or advocate for their personal position on a matter
before the Board.
o Council Liaisons are to protect the independence of the Boards.
o Council Liaisons at times may advocate Council actions on behalf of their assigned Board.
Great care must be taken to avoid the appearance of unfairness, conflict of interest or
circumstances where such possibilities may exist (e.g., Planning Commission quasi - judicial
matters).
CODE OF CONDUCT
Scope
This Code of Conduct is designed to provide a framework to guide Council members in their
actions. The Code of Conduct operates as a supplement to the existing statutes governing conduct
including the ethics law of the State of Oregon.
This Code of Conduct applies to Council members as they also serve as the Local Contract Review
Board and the City Center Development Agency.
Conduct of Council Members
This section describes the manner in which Council members will treat one another, the public, and
city staff.
Council Conduct with One Another During Meetings
o Practice civility, professionalism 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 democratic governance. This does not allow, however, Council
members to make belligerent, personal, slanderous, threatening, abusive, or disparaging
comments.
o Avoid personal comments that are intended to, or could reasonably be construed to, offend
other members or citizens. If a Council member is offended by the conduct or remarks of
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 10
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
another member, the offended member is encouraged to address the matter early with the
offending member.
Council Conduct Outside of Public Meetings
o Continue respectful behavior in private. The same level of respect and consideration of
differing points of view deemed appropriate for public discussion should be maintained in
private conversations.
o Be aware of the public nature of written notes, calendars, voicemail messages, and e-mail. All
written or recorded materials including notes, voicemail, text messages and e-mail created as
part of one's official capacity will be treated as potentially "public" communication.
o Even private conversations can have a public presence. Council members should be aware
that they are the focus of the public's attention. Even casual conversation about city
business, other public officials or staff may draw attention and be repeated.
o Understand proper political involvement. Council members, as private citizens, may
support political candidates or issues but such activities must be done separate from their role
as a Council member.
Council Conduct with the Public
o Be welcoming to speakers and treat them with respect. For many citizens, speaking in front
of the Council is a new and difficult experience. Council members should commit full
attention to the speaker. Comments, questions, and non - verbal expressions should be
appropriate, respectful and professional.
o 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 citizens. It is appropriate to give a brief overview. Overt or implicit
promises of specific action or promises that City staff will take a specific action are to be
avoided.
Council Conduct with City Staff
o Respect the professional duties of City Staff. Council members should refrain from
disrupting staff from the conduct of their jobs; participating in administrative functions
including directing staff assignments; attending staff meetings unless requested by staff; and
impairing the ability of staff to implement policy decisions.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 11
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
Individual Conduct of Council Members
The individual attitudes, words, and actions of Council members should demonstrate, support, and
reflect the qualities and characteristics of Tigard as "A Place to Call Home."
DO THE RIGHT THING
In doing the right thing, I will:
• Be honest with fellow Council members, the public and others.
• Credit others' contributions to moving our community's interests forward.
• Make independent, objective, fair and impartial judgments by avoiding relationships
and transactions that give the appearance of compromising objectivity,
independence, and honesty.
• Reject gifts, services or other special considerations.
• Excuse myself from participating in decisions when my immediate family's financial
interests or mine may be affected by the Council's action.
• Protect confidential information concerning litigation, personnel, property, or other
affairs of the City.
• Use public resources, such as staff time, equipment, supplies or facilities, only for City -
related business.
GET IT DONE
In getting it done, I will:
• Review materials provided in advance of the meeting.
• Make every effort to attend meetings.
• Be prepared to make difficult decisions when necessary.
• Contribute to a strong organization that exemplifies transparency.
• Make decisions after prudent consideration of their financial impact, taking into
account the long -term financial needs of the City.
RESPECT AND CARE
In respecting and caring, I will:
• Promote meaningful public involvement in decision - making processes.
• Treat Council members, board members, staff and the public with patience, courtesy
and civility, even when we disagree on what is best for the community.
• Share substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration from
sources outside the public decision - making process with my fellow Council members
and staff.
• Respect the distinction between the role of citizens, Council and staff.
• Conduct myself in a courteous and respectful manner at all times.
• Encourage participation of all persons and groups.
Resolution Exhibit A - Council Groundrules November 2010 12
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
Censure and Violations
To assure the public confidence in the integrity of the City of Tigard, Council members are held to
a high standard of conduct. For this reason, Council members believe the Code of Conduct is as
important to the public process as other rules and procedures. It is also recognized that, there may
be times when action is required to correct and /or prevent behavior that violates the Code of
Conduct.
A Council member may be censured by the other Council members for misconduct,
nonperformance of duty or failure to obey the laws of the federal, state, or local government.
Misconduct includes not honoring the provisions of the Council Groundrules.
Early recognition of the questioned conduct is encouraged. Progressive counsel may occur with the
Council member but is not required prior to passage of a Council Resolution of Censure by the
other Council members.
A violation of the Code of Conduct will not be considered a basis for challenging the validity of any
Council decision.
Implementation
Council members will receive a copy of the Council Groundrules and will affirm in writing that they
have received the rules including the code of conduct, understand the provisions, and pledge to
conduct themselves by the groundrules. A periodic review of the groundrules will be conducted to
ensure that they are an effective and useful tool.

Attachment 5
2012 Council Goal Suggestions from Boards & Committees
Board/
Committee/ Input from membership
Commission
Budget The following components need to considered in a statement about a long term financial
Committee plan:
1. Council must be concerned about the quality of life in our community. Quality of
life issues must be addressed in a hierarchy of importance: first is safety, second is
maintaining infrastructure, third is planning and zoning for growth, forth
is maintaining and developing new public improvements (water, parks & libraries)
related to quality and cost of life I probably left something out.
2. Council must consider the economic climate and develop and maintain funding
sources that are consistent with local community capabilities and competitive with
surrounding jurisdictions
3. Council must continue to maintain an open and public budget process that encourages
public input
4. Council should always balance the budget with realistic funding source cash flows and
avoid using debt to fund short term budget funding short falls. This will
require Finance to continue to update potential funding short falls and build into the
budget a reserve that is adequate to bridge those gaps.
5. Council should review the entire budget each year to ensure that the funding resources
are being used as effectively as possible to the benefit of the citizens of Tigard.
The strategic goal for Council should be to ensure that Tigard is viewed as a desirable

What does economic development mean to us? What does it look like? What is
the City's role?
Some examples for discussion:
• Support a healthy business climate
• Make it easy for builders /developers to build or bring their business into the
city (streamlined permit process, good relationship with city, easy business
licensing program, zoning that supports desired development)
• Purchase property — City as a property owner and developer; assist with
leases /subsidies.
• Actively recruit tenants into vacant properties
• Inventory existing land and property and market those to businesses
• Targeted recruitment and retention of businesses in specific sectors (retail,
commercial, office, industrial ?) or economic clusters
• Build infrastructure: roads, connect utilities. Create the built environment for
others to build on
• Create jobs, or create conditions for the private sector to create more
employment
• Increase city revenues through economic activity (draw businesses to locate
that will enhance the tax base)
• Provide funding for amenity improvements /support for revitalizing properties
(facade improvements, safety /security programs)
What specific activities (no more than 5) should Tigard undertake in the next
year that would make tangible progress in 1) revitalization of Downtown and 2)
economic vitality city -wide?

trails programs to the next level by indudinga more inclusive recreational
component. This will allow us to stay competitive with neighboring cities
and sustain our programs and services into the 21" century.
We now live in challenging economic times and in a nation of cities that
compete for consumer resources. Cities with the best land use and
planning implementation mix, that offera recreational activation
component will become "the" customer destination places; places in
which people want to live, work, play and spend their leisure time. We
would be wise to compete with our neighboring cities. When you win the

The PRAB Feels it is Time to Take
Tigard's Parks Program to the Next Level
• Tigard's growing population makes this a great time to take our parks and
trails programs to the next level by including a more inclusive recreational
component. This will allow us to stay competitive with neighboring cities
and sustain our programs and services into the 21st century.
We now live in challenging economic times and in a nation of cities that
compete for consumer resources. Cities with the best land use and
planning implementation mix, that offer a recreational activation
component will become "the" customer destination places; places in
which people want to live, work, play and spend their leisure time. We
would be wise to compete with our neighboring cities. When you win the
hearts and minds of the public through recreational and leisure activity,
residents and small business owners also win.
