> Review of FY 2005-06 Community Event Funding Requests
Interim Finance Director lmdieke presented this agenda item for discussion.
The Community Event Funding Requests were presented to the City Council
for initial feedback. These requests will also be in the proposed budget for
final review by the Budget Committee in May.
The application Atfalati Recreation District for the Cook Park Concession
Stand was distributed to the City Council.
A revised spreadsheet showing the total requests was distributed to Council.
This revised spreadsheet showed a request from the Tualatin Riverkeepers
for an education.program. The Riverkeepers' request was initially submitted
to the Social Services Subcommittee; however, the Subcommittee
recommended that this would be more appropriately classified as a
community event.
Total requests for community event funding equaled $48,175 with $45,300
available. However, -dollars would be available from the social services
(relating to the transference of the Tualatin _Riverkeepers. from social
services to community events).
Interim Finance Director lmdieke noted that,base funding is set aside for
three events (by City Council resolution): Tigard Balloon Festival, Broadway
Rose Theatre, and the Tigard 0 of July Celebration. In addition, the
request from the Atfalati Recreation District has been established by an
agreement between Atfalati and the City of Tigard. The $5000 contribution
from the City to Atfalati would be an accounting transaction to subsidized
accrued interest on improvements at Cook Park.
Interim Finance Director lmdieke reviewed the funding requests individually.

- Broadway. Rose - $10,000 as established by resolution. . In-kind includes
some assistance from.the Public Works Department. Councilor Harding

Broadway Rose.

from the Public Works and Police Departments.
- Tigard Blast -- $5000 — Councilor Harding advised she would like to have
more information about how this event benefits the community as it appears
to be focused as a promotion for the downtown businesses. There was.
discussion about how Tualatin Hills Fire and Rescue, the Tigard. Police
Department, and the Tigard Skate Park participates in the event. Councilor
Harding reported that-she was told she could not distribute her campaign
information at the event. Councilor Woodruff and Mayor Dirksen indicated
that they had distributed their campaign literature last year. It was noted that
this is a family-oriented event and there have been four successful events.
Mayor Dirksen acknowledged that the Blast supports the downtown
business owners and he pointed out the long-standing goal of the City
Council to support the downtown. Councilor Sherwood commented that the
event also allows the City departments an opportunity to connect to the
community.
Tigard 4th of July — $7,500 — this event is promoted as family event and
has been offered to the community for 18 years (started in 1987). The
Police and Public Works Departments give in-kind support to this event.
I
- Tigard High graduation -- $2,000 --- Interim Finance Director lmdieke said
the purpose of this event is for a safe and sober high school graduation.
Mayor Dirksen noted the allocation to this event was increased last year. At
some point in time, the City might want to reconsider how much involvement
it has for this item.
- Tualatin Riverkeepers -- $3000 -- It was noted that this group would like to
put on a paddle tour during the Tigard Balloon Festival. Councilor Harding
noted this group sponsored a tree planting event earlier this year.
Tigard City Council Minutes

for funding. After brief discussion, consensus of the City Council was to
send the proposals for community event funding forward to the Budget
Committee for review.
> Update: Family Day
Assistant to the City Manager Newton presented this item to the City
Council. A March 8, 2005, memorandum from Assistant to the City Manager
Newton to the Mayor and Council highlights the background and the next
steps if the City Council is interested in pursuing Family Day. Discussion
followed with Council members offering suggestions for the date of this
event including sometime around the City's "birthday," which is
September 11. Councilor Woodruff noted that perhaps this could be
coordinate with National Family Day, which is September 26. Another idea
would be to incorporate this event with the Tigard Blast. Cultural diversity
and tolerance was also suggested as part of this event's focus.
City Council consensus was to support further staff development of a
Ti
possible Family Day with assistance from the Tigard Turns the Tide, the
Vision Task Force and other groups.
> Update: Citizen Leadership Series
Assistant to the City Manager Newton presented this item to the City
Council, A March 9, 2005, memorandum from Assistant to the City Manager
Newton to the Mayor and Council highlights the background and the Council
direction that was requested by staff. The purpose of a citizen leadership
series would be to provide information on local issues and to develop
leadership skills. An outline of the program was reviewed, which stated the
Mission, Purpose and Topics for the Series. This outline is on file in the City
Recorder's office.
Councilor Sherwood recalled the leadership series sponsored by the
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 3

I
Chamber of Commerce in the 1980's. Sessions included information on
local government, the school system, area history, a bus tour, and a visit to
} the State Capitol when the Legislature was in session. The series was
discontinued because people were not signing up.
Assistant to the City Manager Newton reviewed the outline of a seven-week
program. She reported that she will finalize the program and anticipates a
fall start-up. City Council will have an opportunity to review this again.
> Discuss Structure, Adoption Process, Governance Issues— Urban Renewal
Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed information from a
March 11, 2005, memorandum from the City Attorney's office regarding
urban renewal. A copy of this memorandum is on file in the City Recorder's
office.
Highlights of the review and discussion are listed below (see the March 11,
2005, memo also for more information and detail):
Urban renewal district -- how it could be structured, including Tigard
only or in conjunction with a County plan.
• Urban renewal adoption process: activate the urban renewal agency;
j appoint a City Center Development Agency; establish a City Center
Advisory Commission; and develop an urban renewal plan and
report. Voters must approve urban renewal in Tigard (Tigard Charter,
Section 47). The vote would be to approve tax increment financing
and the urban renewal plan.
E Urban renewal plan for Tigard to be incorporated with the County's
project — how this would work. It was noted that the City of Tigard
voters must approve the County plan if the County plan includes area
within Tigard.
• Governance — authority of an urban renewal agency whether it be by
the City or County. A County entity would consist of joint
membership with board members from participating jurisdictions. It
was noted there are many options for establishing governance.
Community Development Director Hendryx said the City Council would need
to adopt an urban renewal agency ordinance. He briefly described
financing, opportunity for public comment, and the consideration of the
public comment.
Community Development Director Hendryx noted the importance of public
outreach and said the City of Tigard would need to hire a consultant to
prepare the urban renewal plan.
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 4
Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed the following proposed
timeline:
• Mid-April:.— Request for proposal out for consultant to prepare
the Urban Renewal Plan
• Mid-June: Consultants hired
• End of June: Downtown Plan accepted
• End of June: Public outreach efforts are outlined
• End of June: Resolution initiating urban renewal plan
preparation. (Plan would be prepared over the next few
months)
• June: City Council activates CCDA and CCAC
• October/Novernber: Plan is prepared for Council
consideration
• End of February: Ballot title completed for the May 9, 2006
election
Council concurrence was for Community Development Director Hendryx to proceed
with the request for proposals for a consultant to prepare the plan.
There was discussion with City Attorney Ramis on proceeding with a Tigard-only
urban renewal plan, which could eventually link up with the County's plan.
Councilor Woodruff noted that the urban renewal process is convoluted and difficult
to understand, especially with the possibility of the City and County merging
together on a Plan. He noted the importance of explaining this to the voters in a
simple, straightforward manner.
Community Development Director Hendryx said if the City Council wants to
proceed with urban renewal as a tool for the downtown area (and to keep on the
timeline for a May 9, 2006, vote), the City Council must move forward now and
focus on the downtown. Later, the City Council can decide whether it wants to join
the County's urban renewal effort for the Highway 217 Corridor. Discussion
followed about the development of a City urban renewal plan and how it could be
incorporated later with the County plan. City Attorney Ramis noted that should the
County's plan move forward, the same information prepared for the Tigard-only
district would be needed for the County district.
Community Development Director Hendryx advised he would be returning to the
Council in April requesting approval to issue RFP's for a consultant.
Councilor Harding stated that the City Council should look at the whole picture with
the Downtown Plan and the Comprehensive Plan Update. Discussion followed on
timing for the Downtown Plan and integrating it with the Comprehensive Pian
Update. Mayor Dirksen said he thought the City should move forward with the
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 5
Downtown Plan now. Councilor Sherwood and Councilor Woodruff concurred with
Mayor Dirksen.
> Discuss Urban Services Agreement
Mayor Dirksen suggested this item be scheduled for discussion at a future
meeting. Interim City Manager Prosser advised he would review the Council's
tentative agendas and scheduld the discussion.
> ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
a. Council Groundrules (Resolution No. 04-83) provide that the
groundrules are to be submitted to the Council either in the July or
August Workshop meeting. The Ground rules can be reviewed and

value that volunteers bring. He said Ms. Koepping's friendly and positive attitude
made Tigard a special place.

2005 Citizen Communication agenda item.
o George Burgess submitted a letter from the Friends of the Tigard Public
Library, 13500 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223, requesting continued use of
the "annex building" to store books for the Friends of the Tigard Public
Library. The Friends sell.these books to raise funds for the library. Interim
City Manager Prosser said he was aware of some discussion about the annex
building (niche); it has been determined that the skate park will not affect this
j building. The Friends may continue to store books at this site.
o Gretchen Buehner, 13249 SW 136t" Place, Tigard, OR 97223, requested that
special Council meetings, such as the one being held on April 4 with the
School Board and the City of Tualatin, be held on dates and times that do not
conflict with the Tigard Planning Commission. Mayor and Council members
k agreed they would try to avoid conflicts. It was noted that sometimes conflicts
cannot be avoided when scheduling dates when other boards and councils
are available to meet.
4 CONSENT AGENDA:
Note: Item 4.4 was removed for separate discussion by the City Council.
Motion by Councilor Sherwood, seconded by Councilor Woodruff, to approve the
Consent Agenda as follows:

Mayor Dirksen: Yes
Councilor Harding: Yes
Councilor Sherwood: Yes
Councilor Woodruff: Yes
4.4 Approve Interim City Manager Contract
Human Resources Director Zodrow was present to answer questions on the
proposed contract. Interim City Manager Prosser left the meeting while the City
Council discussed this item.
Councilor Harding noted she requested this item be removed as she questioned
and requested Council discussion on the cost of living (COLA) provision. Human
Resources Director Zodrow reviewed the COLA decision the City Council
determines each year. She noted last year the Council decided to implement the
COLA on October 1. If the Council decides to act similarly this year, the COLA
would become a moot point as the City Manager should be named by that time and
the Interim City Manager's contract would not be in effect.
Councilor Harding said that this would be a good time to make changes. Mayor
Dirksen said he would be concerned about taking away the COLA for the Interim
City Manager without considering the rest of the contract. Councilor Harding noted
the Interim City Manager had received a substantial increase in pay and it did not
seem congruent to also include a COLA.
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 9
There was discussion on Councilor Harding's suggestion to review the COLA
provision in the new City Manager's contract. Mayor Dirksen noted that Councilor
Harding had given the City Council information on performance-based contract
language. Human Resources Director Zodrow will review this language and
include information for City Council review when drafting the contract for the City
Manager.
Councilor Harding reiterated that she thought now was a good time to make a
change.
Motion by Councilor Sherwood, seconded by Councilor Woodruff, to approve the
Interim City Manager's Contract as submitted.
The motion was approved by a majority vote (3-1) of Council present:
Mayor Dirksen: Yes
Councilor Harding: No
Councilor Sherwood: Yes
Councilor Woodruff: Yes
Interim City Manager Prosser returned to the meeting.
(Note: Agenda Item No. 7 was considered at this time.)
5. RECOGNITION OF NORTHWEST MEDICAL TEAMS FOR TSUNAMI RELIEF IN
SOUTHEAST ASIA
Assistant to the City Manager Newton presented the staff report on this agenda
item. Before the Council was a resolution and plaque thanking the Northwest
Medical Team, Mr. Bas Vanderzalm from Northwest Medical Teams was present.
Councilor Woodruff said it was great to have Northwest Medical Teams as a part of
the Tigard community. He said the phrase, "locally based, internationally valued,"
certainly applied to this organization.
Mr. Vanderzalm said he and his wife were glad to be a part of the Tigard
community. He thanked the City for the Bonita Park, located near the Northwest
Medical Team facility. He said he appreciated the City's support.
Motion by Councilor Harding, seconded by Councilor Woodruff, to adopt Resolution
No. 05-21.

Smith and Associates David Liebrandt presented information to the City Council on
their recent trip to Indonesia. They worked with local officials of Samarinda and
Balikpapan to develop work plans and action steps to improve their domestic water
supply. A copy of the PowerPoint slide presentation to the Council is on file in the
City Recorder's office and summarizes the information shared with the City Council.
Mayor Dirksen said he was proud the City is involved with this program, which
provides good training for the City of Tigard staff as well as providing a service to
the Indonesian people.
Interim City Manager Prosser advised he has been fortunate to make two trips to
Indonesia. He noted the program has done good work and to see the changes the
Indonesian participants have implemented "is amazing."
Interim City Manager Prosser noted this program is funded by the ICMA Resource
Cities Partnership (US Aid). Expenses to the jurisdictions and organizations
participating include some meals and gift exchanges.
i
A delegation from Indonesia will arrive in the Tigard area on April 9 and visit the

7. UPDATE AND DISCUSSION ON NATURAL RESOURCES PROTECTION
PROGRAM AND GOAL 5
Associate Planner Hajduk presented the staff report for this agenda item. Ms.
Hajduk provided the policy context for Council's Growth Goal; provided a
background/update on the .Tualatin Basin Goal 5 effort; and discussed the
proposed natural resource protection work plan. A copy of the PowerPoint slide
presentation to the Council is on file in the City Recorder's office and summarizes
the information shared with the City Council.
Councilor Woodruff asked Associate Planner Hajduk if the changes in this program
over the last six months have been positive, Associate Planner Hajduk advised
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 11
there are mixed reports with regard to the Metro shift in direction -to focus on
regulation only in the highest riparian areas with non-regulatory tools to be used for
the remaining resource areas. This change was made to address concerns about
the potential for Ballot Measure 37 claims.
There was discussion about the City of Tigard's regulations for natural resource
protection. Councilor Sherwood referred to Councilor Wilson's earlier suggestions
about incentives for natural resource protection. Councilor Harding noted the
work still being done on this issue and that some of Councilor Wilson's ideas may
be utilized.
Associate Planner Hajduk noted the opportunity for public involvement and the
surprisingly few questions and comments that came from the Tigard area as
compared to other jurisdictions.
Associate Planner Hajduk noted issues will be identified with a report to the City
Council in June or July. She referred to the goal options slide in the PowerPoint
presentation. She noted the Vision Task Force talked about this matter, but did not
want to go beyond stating the desire to "preserve and protect" open space and
greenway areas.
In response to Associate Planner Hajduk's request for general direction from the
City Council, Mayor Dirksen noted the City already enhances and restores natural
areas and referred to the restoration of much of the riparian area next to the new
library. He noted the existing groups and programs in place. Councilor Woodruff
noted he agreed with preserving and protecting (maintaining) but also would agree
to expansion of open space. There was discussion on Measure 37 as it affects
Goal 5 with Council support noted for Metro's change of direction.
> Mayor Dirksen reported to Council about an opportunity for additional park land
near Jack Park. Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Chief Jeff Johnson spoke to
Mayor Dirksen about the possibility of a joint project on a five-acre piece of land
adjacent to ,lack Park where a new fire station is to be built. Some of the property
could be used for access to Jack Park and parking spaces for the park could be
shared with the parking lot constructed for the fire station.
8. ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (CAP)
Assistant to the City Manager Newton presented the staff report on this agenda
item. Accompanying Ms. Newton was Associate Planner Hajduk, who helps
manage the CAP. A copy of the PowerPoint slide presentation to the Council is on
file in the City Recorder's office and summarizes the information shared with the
City Council.
i
Ms. Newton reported on the results of the first two years of the program and the
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 12
i
i
plans for the future. As part of an expanded neighborhood program, staff will
propose that each neighborhood have a CAP liaison. This person would review the
assessment reports and serve as a link between the neighborhood and the City to
address issues identified through assessments.
The following (see PowerPoint slides) information was reviewed with City Council:
o CAP Mission
o Goals
o CAP Successes
0 2003-2004 Comparisons
o Follow-Up
o Improvements for 2005
o CAP Card Samples
o Focus for 2005
Councilor Harding and Assistant to the City Manager Newton discussed the amount
of citizen involvement and contact, and the perception that this is a code violation
exercise. Ideas for improving the program included easier ways for citizens to
connect to the program by use of the website, identifying neighborhood liaisons,
and informing citizens about the CAP by providing information at the library.
Assistant to the City Manager Newton noted the CAP is featured in the Cityscape
and the Community Connector reports. Code violations were noted more often
during the first year of the program. The follow up to violations noted on CAP walks
is to address.serious issues immediately. Other violations are noted to let property
owners know of problems (education tool) rather than to issue citations.
Mayor Dirksen asked how many staff people go out on the CAP walks on
Wednesdays. Assistant to the City Manager Newton said seven staff members are
usually assigned to each walk; the number of staff can be reduced if neighborhood
liaisons are added to the program. Benefits to staff were noted including gaining
more familiarity with Tigard neighborhoods and a better understanding of what
other staff members are doing.
Mayor Dirksen noted that during the budget process, he would like to know about
how much the program costs as it relates to its perceived value.
Assistant to the City Manager Newton advised the neighborhood program concept
will be presented to the City Council on April 19.
9. UPDATE— DIRECTION ON REVISED CITY LOGO
Assistant to the City Manager Newton presented the staff report on this agenda
item. One of the 2005 Council goals is Graphic Identity (branding) to include a new
City logo, signage and letterhead. Members of the Vision Task Force met on
Tigard City Council Minutes
March 22, 2005 page 13
r
February 24, 2005, to brainstorm ideas for themes and values. Their suggestions
were provided to the City Council for review and were outlined in a March 9, 2005,
memorandum from Assistant to the City Manager Newton. A copy of this
memorandum is on file in the City Recorder's office.
I
Councilor Woodruff said he was looking for a more comprehensive approach — not
just the logo-- but for a representation of what Tigard is about. Discussion followed
on the general themes for Tigard, such as "family friendly," "a sense of community,"
"a caring community," and "a place to call home."
Assistant to the City Manager Newton said that development of a logo should not
cost more than $2000. Discussion followed about who should be asked to propose
concept ideas. The next step will be to prepare a letter to be sent to graphic
designers to assist with the development of a new logo.
