City Council Minutes - 11/04/2003 Agenda Item.No. 3 Council Meeting of COUNCIL MINUTES TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 4, 2003 • STUDY SESSION Councilor Moore called the meeting to order at 6:32 p.m. Council Present: Mayor Griffith (arrived at 7:10 p.m.); Councilors Moore, Sherwood, and Wilson. ➢ Review Shelter Options for Fanno Creek Park Public Works Director Ed Wegner and Parks Manager Dan Plaza reviewed the shelter options for Fanno Creek Park. Mr. Plaza advised that he thinks there is ample space at the site next to the new library building for the shelter and four parking spaces. Council and staff reviewed the options. Councilor Dirksen was not in attendance; however, he had forwarded a message to the City Council that he favored the shelter presented in Photo No. 3 in the Council packet j materials. Council discussed siting of the shelter advising that they would like to have the shelter as far from the road as possible with consideration also of the proximity to the trees on the site. The shelter construction could wait until after the library is done. This would also facilitate getting this item in the budget for the next fiscal year. The shelter would be located at the site where a house had been, which burned down. Approximately $20,000 from the insurance proceeds remain after clearing away the house and cleaning up the site. Councilors Moore and Sherwood indicated that they agreed with Councilor Dirksen and chose as their favorite the shelter shown in Photo No. 3 as presented in the Council packet. Councilor Wilson noted his preference for a shelter shown on Photo Page No. 1 (bottom right). Councilor Wilson advised that he would prefer that the Shelter not be the focal viewpoint from the library. Councilor Moore commented that the City could consider $50,000 toward the cost of the shelter and the four parking spaces. City Manager Monahan Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - November 4, 2003 Page 1 noted that this item would be placed in the capital improvement program proposals for review during the budget process. In addition, staff will notify the State that the City will be considering the shelter in the 2004 budget process and ask that the access to this site from Hall Boulevard be preserved. ➢ Summarize Options Under Consideration for the Bull Mountain Annexation Plan Community Development Director Jim Hendryx presented the options that would be under consideration by the City Council regarding the Bull Mountain Annexation Plan.

REVIEW BULL MOUNTAIN ANNEXATION PLAN Community Development Director Hendryx presented the staff report, which is on file with the City Recorder. Council discussed the phasing options at length reviewing the advantages of phasing in portions of the Bull Mountain area versus the advantages of annexing the whole area all at once. Council members indicated preference for a phased-in approach so that the City could "ramp up" to provide services incrementally as the areas were brought into the City. This would give the City an opportunity to hire and train police officers to be ready in anticipation of those areas that would be brought into the City in phases. There was discussion about how a phased-in an plan would also give staff time to do some planning for parks, noting that an intergovernmental agreement with Washington County would be needed to implement plans in those areas not yet in the City of Tigard that would be annexed later. Motion by Councilor Wilson, seconded by Councilor Sherwood, to direct staff to finalize the annexation plan using a three-phase annexation that would incorporate the timing and sequencing of areas identified as follows: East — 2004; South — 2005; West and North (together) — 2006. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council present: Mayor Griffith - Yes Councilor Moore - Yes Councilor Sherwood - Yes Councilor Wilson - Yes Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - November 4, 2003 Page 4 i Councilor Moore clarified for the record that the Council's action tonight was not to annex.
