Finance Director Prosser shared with the Budget Committee the preliminary
financial forecast information. Copies of the graphs distributed to the
Council/Budget Committee are on file with the City Recorder. Mr. Prosser
noted that this is an iterative process and in a continual update mode. At the
first Budget Committee meeting, the updated information will be reviewed in
more detail.
The General Fund projection information showed that a projected deficit has
been pushed out further. This was accomplished because transfers had
been eliminated for data systems and there was a larger a beginning fund
balance for this year than had been anticipated. There are a number of
new positions that have been projected out over this five-year period. Of the
27 new positions in the General Fund, 18 are in the Police Department.

and City Council
Mr. Prosser noted that on the information presented to Council regarding the
road funds, the staff is in the process of putting together the Capital
Improvement Program, which will impact this fund (not reflected in the
information distributed).
Mr. Prosser distributed the Budget Meeting Calendar. A copy of the
calendar is on file in the City Recorder's office. He reviewed the status of
the budget preparation process to date. The first Budget Committee
meeting will be April 25, 2005. At that meeting a more complete version of
the Financial Forecast will be ready and the issues papers will be reviewed

Mr. Prosser noted the Executive Staff met and carne up with some basic
principles for use by departments when developing budget requests. A list
of the basic principles was distributed to the Council/Budget Committee; this
list is on file in the City Recorder's office.
Mr. Prosser said the Council recently met in a goal-setting session and
identified three goals for 2005. Council goals are:
1. Revitalize Downtown
2. Improve 99W
3. Address Growth
Information about the Council goals is now being disseminated to
departments so these priorities are reflected in the proposed budget.
Mr. Prosser distributed the Draft Strategic Finance Plan. The Executive
Staff brainstormed foreseeable issues for the next four- to five-year period.
Staff assigned recommended priorities, which will ultimately be the decision
of the Council. Issue summaries were prepared. Council is scheduled to
review the Strategic Finance Plan to determine if there are additional issues
that need to be added or if there are some of the issues identified by staff
that need to be deleted from the list. Staff will request Council go through a
priority-setting exercise to identify high-priority items.
Social service grant applications are now being accepted. After brief
discussion, Councilor Harding and Citizen Budget Committee member
Haldeman agreed to serve on the Social Services Budget Subcommittee.
Mr. Prosser said he would seek another member for this subcommittee from
the citizen members of the Budget Committee.

Mr. Prosser distributed a January 25, 2005 memorandum regarding property
tax revenues from the Washington Square Expansion. It is estimated that
the City will start receiving an additional $22,470 in November 2006. A copy

> LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD UPDATE AND FEEDBACK
ON REVISED PURCHASING AND CONTRACTING
ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
Finance Director Prosser introduced this agenda item. Staff members also
present were Tom Imdieke, Financial Operations Manager, and Joe Barrett,
Buyer. The staff discussed with Council the changes needed to the
purchasing and contracting rules so the City complies with State law.
Mr. Imdieke noted on March 1, the changes to the State law go into effect,
which means that Oregon local jurisdictions will need to make amendments
to their municipal codes and purchasing rules. Staff plans to present the
code amendments and purchasing rule changes to the Council at its
February 22 meeting.
Mr. Barrett reviewed the new rules. A copy of Mr. Barrett's January 11,
2005, memorandum to the Tigard Local Contract Review Board Members
and a copy of an outline (LCRB Update & Feedback on Revised Purchasing
& Contracting Administrative Rules — January 25, 2005, LCRB Study
Session) are on file in the City Recorder's office. These documents highlight
the information Mr. Barrett shared with the Council (LCRB).
Finance Director Prosser clarified for Councilor Harding the Insurance Agent
of Record proposed change, named Inswhich is oincrease the contct urance Agent of Reeordterms from
may serve
three years to five year
for a longer period if renewed.
Finance Director noted that if Council agreed with the directions outlined in
the staff presentation, formal approval of the City's revised Public
Contracting Rules will be brought before the Local Contract Review Board at
its February 22, 2005, meeting as a public hearing item. If the new rules are
not adopted on March 1, then the next time for Council review would be on
March 8, which would mean the City would operate under the Attorney
General's rules. Consensus of Council was for staff to proceed with the
hearing scheduled for February 22, 2005.

2. CITIZEN COMMUNICATION
• Brian Wegener, 16507 SW Roy Rogers Road, Sherwood, OR 97140,
testified as a representative of the Tualatin Riverkeepers. Mr.
Wegener distributed to Council a copy of a newspaper article, "We
can't stop trying to eliminate stormwater runoff problems." He also
distributed a report from the Audubon Society of Portland, Summer
2004 — StormwaterlPavement Impacts Reduction Project Report.
Copies of the above two items are on file in the City Recorder's office.
He noted the newspaper article raises issues about retrofitting and
redevelopment and that stormwater codes for new development do
not always apply. Opportunities to better treat stormwater are being
lost.
I
Mr. Wegener briefly reviewed the Audubon Society report, which
takes a look at city codes throughout various Washington County
jurisdictions and makes recommendations on improvements to better
treat stormwater. Specific recommendations are made for the City of
Tigard in the report (pp 42-46). He referred to the potential of new
technology to be used on site to more effectively treat stormwater.
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 5
January 25, 2005
He noted there is an annual Tualatin Riverkeepers meeting, which
will be held on Sunday, January 30, 2005, in the Tigard Library.
Mayor Dirksen thanked Mr. Wegener for the information and noted
the City would be reviewing its Comprehensive Plan and the
suggested Code changes could be considered.
> Announcement-- Bill Monahan stepping down from City Manager position
Mayor Dirksen said that it was with regret he announces that, effective
immediately, Bill Monahan will be stepping down as the City Manager of the
City of Tigard after more than 10 years of service with the City. The Mayor
said that this is an amicable separation, but Council and Bill have agreed
that as the City moves in a new direction, different options need to be
explored. The Mayor said, "We wish Bill well. I can personally say that I've
always been very happy with Bill's service to the City and will miss him, but
recognize that 10 years is a long time in this business..."
Councilor Sherwood said she also felt that this is a good time to move in
some new directions. She noted, "We will miss Bill. I've known Bill
personally for a number of years and also participated with him on a number
of committees within the City. He is also a personal friend and I wish him
well."
Councilor Woodruff said that he thought it was rare these days for someone
to work in the same organization for 10 years, let alone work in the same job
in that organization for 10 years. Bill has been here longer than that in other
capacities. He said that Bill has "...made lots and lots of contributions over
those years with a whole variety of different elected people during that time.
1 certainly wish him well, too. I think the public needs to know that the
Council is in sync with this; we are ready to move ahead. We will need
everybody working together as we make decisions in the coming weeks and
months."
Councilor Wilson said that Bill has definitely made his mark on Tigard and he
wished him well. He said, "It will be a difficult process for us to find someone
to fill his shoes...it's a tough job. We are all very supportive of Bill.
The Mayor advised that Craig Prosser, the Finance Director for the City of
Tigard, has agreed to step in as the Interim Manager until a permanent
replacement could be found. The Mayor advised the City would be issuing a
press release in the next couple of days.

5. TIGARD VISION UPDATE REPORT
Risk Manager Loreen Mills presented the staff report on this agenda item. A
copy of Ms. Mills' presentation outlining the highlights of her remarks is on
file in the City Recorder's office.
Council members commented as follows:
• Councilor Woodruff thanked the citizens and staff who participated in the
visioning project.
• Councilor Wilson noted he appreciated the responses to the vision
survey and said it was interesting to see the full range of comments
submitted.
• Councilor Sherwood advised that the Council has heard "loud and clear"
from citizens regarding the priorities they would like to see addressed.
• Mayor Dirksen said the Council and staff rely on the visioning document
to set goals.
• Councilor Harding urged citizens to continue to send in comments at any
time, noting that you did not have to serve on a task force or committee
to make suggestions.
6. UPDATE ON THE LIBRARY STRATEGIC PLAN AND OPERATIONAL
HOURS
Library Director Barnes introduced this agenda item and Library Board
members Jan Thenelle and Brian Kelly. Council heard a presentation on the
Library Citizen's Strategic Planning Committee, which is developing a
recommendation for focused service responses for the library for the next
five years. A copy of an outline of the presentation to Council is on file in the
City Recorder's office. The plan will be completed in the spring and
presented to the Council.
Board members Thenell and Kelly noted the dramatic increase in use of the
n.ew library, even with a reduction of hours. During the past six months, the
closure of the library on Sundays has been a primary topic of public
comment/dissatisfaction. Based on the public feedback, the Library's
current priority is to restore a minimum of four hours per week to allow the
library to reopen on Sundays. The additional revenue needed to reopen four
hours for the remainder of the fiscal year would be approximately $1,300 per
week. The Board members support the use of funds from the Grace Tigard
Houghton bequest to open the Library for four hours on Sunday. The
Library Director has spoken with Mr. Curtis Tigard about using the funds in
this manner. He believes that transferring those funds would be in keeping
with the wishes of his sister, Mrs. Houghton, and in the spirit of the bequest.
i
Tigard City Council Minutes Page S
January 25, 2005
Library Director Barnes recommended the Council authorize additional
funding to allow the library to reopen on Sundays for the remainder of the
fiscal year with a $26,000 allocation from the Grace Tigard Houghton
bequest. The Library,staff would track the success and patron satisfaction of
Sunday hours prior to the spring 2005 City Budget Committee meetings and
report the findings to Council.
Discussion followed. Interim City Manager Prosser advised that if Council
directs staff to go forward as recommended by the Library Director, the
requisite budget adjustment would be submitted to the Council for its
approval. Mr. Prosser, in response to a question from Councilor Harding,
reviewed some financial information with regard to the library construction
(use of bond money, bequest funds, and City funds). The library
construction project's estimated budget was $14.3 million; actual
construction cost was about $13.2 -13.5 million. Dollars from the bond were
spent first before expenditure of bequest funds.
There was discussion between Councilor Harding and Library Director
Barnes about figures and comparisons of new library users and the use of
the library. It will take three years to establish a new patron base. The
Library's service population of about 62,000 people includes the City of
Tigard and adjacent unincorporated areas.
Council discussed the proposal to use bequest funds for operations:
• Councilor Woodruff noted it would be unusual to use bequest dollars for
operations, but he said he could support.
• Councilor Wilson asked about plans for another operation levy ballot
measure by Washington County. Library Director Barnes said it appears
the next realistic opportunity would be in 2006 or even in 2008.
Councilor Wilson said he would support the proposal for using bequest
funds for Sunday library hours; however, he was concerned about what
might happen after the end of the fiscal year and lack of consistency. Mr.
Prosser noted this would be reviewed by the Budget Committee.
• Mayor Dirksen advised he, too, had mixed feeling with using bequest
dollars for operations. He said he appreciated the Tigard family's
support to allow the bequest dollars to be used for opening the Library on
Sundays.
• Councilor Sherwood suggested that volunteers be utilized as much as
possible. Library Director Barnes said staff would look for opportunities
to use volunteer assistance.
A budget amendment for the additional Sunday hours through the end of the
fiscal year will be presented to the Council in February.

7. CONSIDER AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE ASSISTANCE REQUEST
Community Development Director Hendryx presented the staff report for this
agenda item. Community Partners for Affordable Housing is requesting
$9,915 to offset building permit fees anticipated on major repairs to the
Greenburg Oaks Apartments. The project meets City guidelines with
respect to eligible activities, zoning, tenant income, time limits, Enhanced
Safety Program participation, and other guidelines.
Mr. Martin Soloway of Community Partners for Affordable housing talked
about the Greenburg Oaks Apartments project to:
1. Recapitalize the project.
2. Stabilize the infrastructure
3. Improve marketability.
Mr. Soloway distributed. information to Council on other sources awarded for
this project; this information is on file in the City Recorder's office. The
Tigard fee assistance is the last source needed.
Council discussion followed:
• Councilor Sherwood noted her support of the request and said it was
critical that the service provided by the apartment complex stay in the
area and stay healthy.
• Councilor Harding said she was impressed with projects completed by
CPAH. She noted she was disappointed that funds allocated for
affordable housing fee requests have just gone to two sources. She
noted concerns about whether adequate notice of availability of these
funds had been made. Councilor Sherwood explained that only a few
organizations offer affordable housing services that qualify for this
assistance from the City. Funds are allocated each year and unused
funds do not carry forward to the next fiscal year. Councilor Harding
suggested the criteria for receiving affordable housing funds might be
expanded and less narrowly defined so other people might qualify.
• Councilor Wilson noted the Affordable Housing Fee Assistance was
written to help make housing more affordable by offsetting building
permit fees.
• Mayor Dirksen noted there are only a few groups offering affordable
housing assistance.
• Councilor Sherwood noted the City of Tigard was the only City in
Washington County offering this type of assistance.
Motion by Councilor Woodruff, seconded by Councilor Sherwood, to
approve the Community Partners for Affordable Housing's request for
$9,915 in fee assistance.

REQUEST: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
required the City, as a condition of continued eligibility in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), to adopt floodplain management
regulations that meet NFIP standards. Therefore, to meet these
standards, the City proposes to amend Chapter 3, Natural Features and
Open Space, Volume II of the Comprehensive Plan and the Sensitive
Lands chapter 18.775 of the Tigard Development Code by revising
references to the updated FEMA Flood Impact Study (FIS) and Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), effective February 18, 2005, and regulating
recreational vehicles located in the 100-year floodplain. LOCATION: The
100-year floodplain within the City of Tigard's incorporated boundary.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: All designations within the
floodplain. ZONE: All zones within the floodplain. APPLICABLE
REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380,
18.390 and 18.775; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and
3.2; the Metro 2040 Plan; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 5 and 7.
Mayor Dirksen opened the public hearing.
Community Development Director introduced this agenda item and
Associate Planner Gary Pagenstecher who presented the staff report. A
copy of the outline presented to Council is on file in the City Recorder's
office.
Recommendations were to:
• Revise references to the updated FEMA Flood Impact Study (FIS) and
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), effective February 18, 2005; and
• Add regulations for recreation vehicles located in the 100-year floodplain.
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 11
January 25, 2005
In response to a question from Councilor Harding, Mr. Pagenstecher
advised there is a slight increase in the flood base because of development
that has occurred over the last 25 years. New developments, with regard to
flood impact, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Engineering data must
be submitted for new developments, which demonstrates how no impact will
be made to base flood levels.
Public testimony: Mr. Robert Began signed the testimony sign-up sheet for
this item; however, he declined to testify.
Mayor Dirksen closed the public hearing.
Staff recommendation: Mr. Pagenstecher advised that staff recommends
approving the requested Comprehensive Plan And Zone Ordinance
Amendments by adopting the proposed ordinance and text amendments as
recommended by the City of Tigard Planning Commission. The proposed
ordinance contains an emergency clause and would go into effect
immediately.
Councilor Woodruff commented he could see no reason why the City should
not do this.
In response to a question from Councilor Wilson, Mr. Pagenstecher
confirmed there would be no Measure 37 implications if Council approved
the proposed ordinance.
Motion by Councilor Sherwood, seconded by Councilor Woodruff, to adopt
Ordinance No. 05-01.

9. PUBLIC HEARING (INFORMATIONAL) — CONSIDER RESOLUTION
FORMING SANITARY SEWER REIMBURSEMENT DISTRICT NO. 32
(Fern Street)
Mayor Dirksen opened the public hearing.
City Engineer Gus Duenas presented the staff report. The proposed project
would provide sewer service to five lots along SW Fern Street between SW
135th and 138th Avenues. The project is incorporated in the MST1P project
to improve Walnut Street between 121St and 135th Avenues. The design is
being done by David Evans and Associates. A copy of the presentation
outline given to Council is on file in the City Recorder's office.
Mayor Dirksen asked if there were any unknowns or extreme conditions that
might cause the cost to go up significantly. Mr. Duenas said he did not
believe so; David Evans is the reputable consultant firm on this project so
the estimates should be close to the actual construction costs. This is part
of a much larger project and Mr. Duenas said this should be of benefit due to
"economies of scale."
Mayor Dirksen said he noticed that most of the lots are large and asked if
there were single family homes on each lot. Mr. Duenas confirmed that
each lot has a single family home. With regard to costs to each homeowner,
Mr. Duenas said only a few would pay more than $15,000; the City is paying
about half of the total cost of this project.
Public Testimony:
Mr. Marco Benetti, 13650 SW Fern Street, Tigard, Oregon, asked about
the engineering and administration costs. Mr. Duenas confirmed that
these costs are included in the total cost of the project. Mr. Benetti
asked if there would be an opportunity to have an additional lateral
installed in the street for future development. Mr. Duenas said that would
be possible and the additional costs could be negotiated at the time of
the construction. if added, this lateral for future development would not
be part of the reimbursement district costs. If a property owner wants
more than one lateral, the cost for additional laterals would need to be
negotiated.
Mr. Benetti said that when this project was initially presented, there were
several properties involved that have now dropped out and now there is
increased costs to the homeowners. He said the incentive program is a
wonderful thing but said he was curious if there might be any other
surprise increase in costs? Mr. Duenas said, if there are significant
differences from estimated costs, then the City might rethink the project.
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 13
January 25, 2005
Mr. Benetti said the City has agreed to put in speed bumps with the
widening of Fern Street and he wanted to make sure this was noted for
the record.
In response to a question from Mayor Dirksen, Mr. Duenas explained
that when this reimbursement district was first brought to the Council a
large lot was included that was already served by sewer at the rear of the
property, so this.property dropped was removed from the district.
Mayor Dirksen closed the public hearing.
Staff recommended that the Council approve the proposed resolution
forming the reimbursement district.
Council Consideration: Motion by Councilor Wilson, seconded by
Councilor Harding, to adopt Resolution No. 05-05.
RESOLUTION NO. 05-05 — A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
SANITARY SEWER REIMBURSEMENT DISTRICT NO. 32 (SW FERN
STREET)
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote:
Mayor Dirksen: Yes
Councilor Harding: Yes
Councilor Sherwood: Yes
Council Wilson: Yes
Councilor Woodruff Yes
10. CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO ADOPT TUALATIN VALLEY FIRE &

Tigard Building Official Gary Lampella and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue
(TVF&R) Deputy Fire Marshal John Baldwin. The major points of the
TVF&R ordinance are:
