> DISCUSSION OF URBAN RENEWAL
Community Development Director Hendryx and Washington County Senior
Deputy County Administrator Conley reviewed this item with the City Council.
Three issues were presented for discussion:
1. Level of information to support an election on tax increment financing (TIF)
2. Tigard's participation is critical to the Corridor Revitalization Project.
3. Earliest election date for the Corridor Project is November, 2006.
Ms. Conley was present to provide information about the Corridor Revitalization
Project as it relates to Tigard's Downtown Plan. The Downtown project could
proceed as a stand alone project or eventually become a part of the Corridor
Revitalization Project. The Washington Square area is part of the Corridor
Revitalization Project.
Councilor Wilson commented on the general perception of urban renewal and
that the public might think that Washington Square does not need help. He said
he thought it would be better to proceed with the Downtown Plan first followed
later by the Washington Square area. He advised he preferred a conservative
approach. Councilor Sherwood commented in agreement with Councilor Wilson
and noted she would be concerned with proceeding with the Downtown and
Washington Square together.
Mayor Dirksen commented on the County proposal for a "concept plan." He
was concerned that adding Tigard projects to this plan might be viewed by the
public as an attempt to circumvent the City Charter, which requires a vote on
urban renewal (use of tax increment financing). He said he did not see how the
two projects could be efficiently flied together. He supported moving forward
with the Downtown Plan first.
Discussion by the City Council members indicated that they would like to
proceed with the Downtown Project in a straightforward, simple manner.
Ms. Conley noted that the group working on the Corridor Revitalization Project
offered the concept plan as an option for Tigard to consider so that the
COUNCIL MINUTES—JUNE 14, 2005 page 2
Downtown Plan and the Corridor Revitalization Project could move forward
together.
Council consensus was that the first focus for Tigard would be the Downtown
Project; the second priority is the Washington Square area (as part of the
Corridor Revitalization Project).
Councilor Wilson noted he would like to know more about the impact on the
General Fund should the Washington Square area be designated as an urban
renewal area.
Mayor Dirksen agreed with Councilor Wilson with regard to offering support for
the Corridor Revitalization Project, but also wanting to be aware of all the
issues. He said the goal of the Corridor Revitalization Project was for
infrastructure improvements (not to improve "Washington Square").
City Council discussed the timing of the Downtown Plan and the Corridor
Revitalization Project and supported separating these two projects with as much
time as possible; i.e., six months to a year.
• EXECUTIVE SESSION: The Tigard City Councii went into Executive Session
at 7:03 p.m. to evaluate employment of a public officer, review labor
negotiations, and evaluate the employment--related performance of the chief

along."

property."
o Kristin Preston, 14955 SW 79th Avenue, Tigard, OR, 97224,

process and the proposed LID is at the stage where options are
being evaluated. The preliminary engineer's report must be
brought back to the City Council.

CIP budget. He noted there will be a neighborhood meeting on
the LID on Thursday. There must be further consideration by the
Council and the neighborhood will be involved.

July 1, 2005, as presented.

LID and advised he was also not in favor of the LID.
City Engineer Duenas explained the funds shown in the CIP budget
for the LID will only be used if the Council approves the LID.
City Engineer Duenas, in response to a question, advised that some
of the funding shown for slope stabilization is a carry over from one
fiscal year to the next.
There was Council discussion on funding being shown for several
projects including Ash, Walnut and Greenburg. The Walnut
extension is separate from the Downtown Plan.
There was discussion about water rates and expenditures relating
Tigard's objective of obtaining its own water source through
participation in the Joint Water Commission.
City Engineer Duenas explained that a retaining wall at SW 108th
Avenue was in need of repair due to Iong-time problems with a
culvert.
City Engineer Duenas explained the funds set aside for
environmental clean up of property purchased for the new library.
The contractor took precautions and it is believed the problem has
been addressed. The City will be working with DEQ and additional
testing will be done.
In response to a concern about the funds set aside for four parking
spaces near a gazebo located next to the new library, City Engineer
Duenas advised that this has been "on the books" and is scheduled
for Council consideration of a bid award on June 28.
Interim City Manager Prosser referred to a Traffic Impact Fee project
proposed for Roshak Road and Bull Mountain Road to address traffic
safety and volume. Mayor Dirksen also noted funding allocated for a
right turn late for Bull Mountain Road at 99W.
Councilor Wilson noted that Northview Park is located on property
donated by Albertsons. This park was developed on fill from the
Albertson's shopping center and the park sets up above the adjacent
neighborhood. Councilor Wilson said there is a development
occurring at the old Progress Quarry near Northview Park and this
COUNCIL MINUTES —JUNE 14, 2005 page 8
development needs fill material. He suggested fill could be used from
the Park for the development thereby lowering the elevation. He said
this would also be a good time to look at some alignment issues
(Barrows Road and a Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District
park). Interim City Manager Prosser said staff will investigate
Councilor Wilson's suggestions and report back to the City Council.
Interim City Manager Prosser confirmed that funding was identified
for monument signs at City entry points.
Mayor Dirksen noted that the CIP budget is flexible; Council can
review and make changes as needed throughout the year.

> Mayor Dirksen made some comments at this point in the meeting in
response to a recent article written by Isador Morgavi, which appeared in the
Times Publication for the Tigard area. Mayor Dirksen said he believed the
article contained some erroneous statements. A summary of the Mayor's
comments is as follows:
o Clarification of Tigard's role for development review as set forth in an
intergovernmental agreement with Washington County for urban
services.
o Authority for zoning in unincorporated areas resides with the County and
Metro.
COUNCIL MINUTES —JUNE 14, 2005 page 12
o Disagreed that unincorporated Bull Mountain residents subsidize
services for City residents; Bull Mountain residents pay no City taxes.
o Reviewed how the library is funded through WCCLS. Bull Mountain
residents pay into the WCCLS fund for library services while City
residents pay for WCCLS, the library capital improvement bond levy, and
the General Fund for library operations. The Mayor compared
percentages of service area and associated percentages allocated for
library funding.
o Noted the concern that no park land has been set aside for Bull Mountain
and that past City Council members have chosen to only purchase park
land within City boundaries. The current City Council has decided to
consider land acquisition outside City boundaries recognizing the
opportunity for such purchase might be now or never.
o Noted the concern that the City "won't deal with us." Mayor Dirksen
acknowledged there had been some emotional exchanges and that the
City wants to continue discussions with those who want to resolve
issues.

AND CHARGES SCHEDULE, REPLACING RESOLUTION NO. 04-37 AND

a. Interim Finance Director Imdieke introduced this item. Finance
Management Analyst Wareing presented the staff report. The
PowerPoint presentation reviewed with the City Council is on file in the
City Recorder's office.
b. Council discussion: There was discussion on the proposed water rate
increases scheduled for the next three years. Councilor Harding asked
about options for reducing the rate increases, including a review of
SDC's. Legal Counsel Ramis explained that SDC's must be based on
construction plans. Water rates pay for operating costs and reserves;
SDC's pay for capital costs.
Mayor Dirksen said he did not feel that he had enough background
information to challenge the recommendation of the Intergovernmental
Water Board.
Councilor Harding noted she was uncomfortable with a percentage
increase and would rather see a dollar amount that identified what was
needed.
Interim City Manager Prosser noted City Council has been briefed on
water issues in the past and suggested another review be scheduled for
an upcoming City Council agenda.
COUNCIL MINUTES —JUNE 14, 2005 page 13
Mayor Dirksen recalled an earlier discussion with staff on the need for an
increase in water rates, with the City Council preferring increases over a
period of time, rather than all at once.
Councilor Wilson also noted issues of how to balance who pays for
growth between new and existing residents.
C. Council Consideration:
Motion by Councilor Sherwood, seconded by Councilor Wilson, to
adopt Resolution No. 05-42.

11. DISCUSSION OF STREET LIGHT ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS
a. Staff Report: City Engineer Duenas presented the staff report on this
item. He also reviewed a PowerPoint presentation, which is on file in
the City Recorder's office.
b. Council Discussion: Council members discussed the desire to have
attractive, yet functional street lights. Mayor Dirksen shared a copy of
the type of fixture selected for the Downtown Plan. At the conclusion
of the discussion, Council members agreed that it was too late to
consider a different type of street light for the Walnut Street project.
However, Council would like to review this matter for future projects
and agreed staff should prepare this time for a future Council
workshop discussion. Council would also like professional input
regarding street light design from the Engineer and an architect.
12. LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD (LCRB) — CONSIDER A
CONTRACT FOR BANKING SERVICES
a. Staff Report: Interim Finance Director Imdieke presented
information on this agenda item.

concerns and how she had expected to be able to review a matrix
showing comparative data. Discussion followed. In response to a
question raised, Interim Finance Director Imdieke noted that $2
million must be maintained in the checking account to meet payroll
and accounts payable. (See memorandum of May 25, 2005, on file
with Council/LCRB meeting packet information in the City
Recorder's office for a detailed explanation.)

comments that they felt there were times when they should rely on
those who have expertise. Board Member Harding noted why she
had some concerns based on her experience.
