The next step will be development of blueprints and other construction documents. Ms. Barnes will review with the architects the orientation of the entrance to the library after Councilor Wilson noted that it looked as if people would enter and then need to turn back to enter the main library. Ms. Barnes will also check the number of bicycle spaces — the plans show 48. City Engineer Duenas commented on the Wall Street extension if ODOT approves the plans. Two man-made ponds would he removed, which would create a free-flowing stream. ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS City Manager Monahan reviewed the following items with City Council: ■ Consent Agenda — Procedural Question City Manager noted that Council groundrules and practice has been that if a Council member has a question on an item on the Consent Agenda, then that member will contact him to advise him of the question no later than noon on the meeting date. This request is made so that it can be determined whether a staff member for a certain item on the Consent Agenda should attend the Council meeting. Council consensus was in agreement with continuing with this practice. Councilor Wilson asked about the mosquito control services agreement, noting that the $1500 amount seemed low. Discussion followed. Staff noted that this was for the continuation of a vector control program, initiated by concerns of citizens in Durham experiencing mosquito problems that is now in its third year. This does not address the issue of the West Nile Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - January 28, 2003 Page 1 Virus, which the County is reviewing. The County will implement a public information program; for example, alerting the public about the open areas of standing water and what to do about it. If further treatment is needed to respond to the West Nile Virus, Assistant Public Works Director Koellermeier noted that with an agreement in place with Multnomah County, it could be amended to implement additional measures. ■ NLC Small Cities Council City Manager referred to the request that Tigard advise LOC if we wish to nominate an Oregon Delegate to serve a two-year term on the NLC Small Cities Council. Council members will contact the City Manager if interested. ■ Police Chief Bill Dickinson City Manager advised that new Police Chief Bill Dickinson will arrive next Monday. He will be sworn in at the February 1 1 Council meeting. City Council members supported the City Manager's proposal to temporarily assign Chief Goodpaster to the vacant Captain's position for up to 60 days for a transition period for the new Chief. ■ Oregon Local Leadership Institute Workshops City Manager referred to a list of workshops offered that was sent to the City Council. Council members will contact staff if they are interested in attending. Also, Mr. Monahan advised that the City Attorney will be providing some training on conflict of interest, public meeting law, and land use (quasi-judicial/legislative) matters on February 25, 2003. He advised that City Attorney Ramis was unable to attend tonight's meeting, which will give the Council and the City Manager an opportunity to determine whether it might be possible to have the City Attorney attend one business meeting a month, rather than two. Mr. Monahan referred to legal costs for the City this budget year, which are running high. ■ Certificate of Appreciation City Manager Monahan advised Council that the City of Tigard received a Certificate of Appreciation for collecting 200 pounds of food during the Leaf Collection Days on November 9 and 23.

Council consensus was the draft letter should be signed by the Mayor and sent to Tri Met. ■ Review of February & March Council Meeting Tentative Agendas City Manager Monahan reviewed the tentative agendas for Council meetings for the next two months.
