• PRESENTATION OF THE WATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN
Senior Project Engineer Murchison presented the staff report and PowerPoint presentation;
copies are on file with the packet material.
Tigard's Water System Master Plan is a 20-year plan that examines the water system
infrastructure and its ability to deliver water to Tigard Water Service Area customers.
This Master Plan analyzes the existing system, forecasts demand projections, and integrates
the joint water supply with Lake Oswego. The Master Plan recommends two projects that
will integrate the joint water supply with Lake Oswego, one project to extend long-term
water supply and one project for fire flow deficiencies in the Canterbury Hill area.
The Sewer and Water System Master Plan, advised City Manager Prosser, are scheduled to come
before the City Council on September 14, 2010 on the Consent Agenda for Council approval.
After brief discussion, the Mayor and Council directed that these Plans be presented during the
main business meeting so the public has an opportunity to view the presentation on these core
City services.
• ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
o City Manager Prosser reported that Councilor Henderson asked that Item 3.5b be
removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion. Part of the issue was that the
Agenda Item Summary was incorrect and it has been revised. Council received a
revised Agenda Item Summary for Item No. 3.5 b. for the LCRB award of contract
for the Pavement Management Program Asphaltic Concrete Overlay to Knife River
Corporation. The amount of the award was reduced to a not-to-exceed amount of
$475,000,which includes a small projected contingency of about $17,000. The
project was reduced with the removal of two streets: 98th Avenue from Scott Court
to Greenburg Road and North Dakota Street from Greenburg Road to
95th Avenue.
Staff will respond to questions on Item 3.5b. at the time the Consent Agenda is
considered during the Business Meeting.

1.3 Pledge of Allegiance
1.4 Council Communications &Liaison Reports:
Mayor Dirksen reported that the Washington County Coordinating Committee met
yesterday. There was discussion of a potential MSTIP 4 (a countywide appropriation for
highway and road improvements). This was put on the "back burner" because of the
economy and the County had implemented a Transportation Development Tax on new
development. When this new tax was imposed, it was with the understanding that "the
other leg of the stool'would be MSTIP 4 on existing development. The WCCC will
move forward with discussions on how an MSTIP 4 appropriation might be formulated
but initiation would not take place for a year or more.
Councilor Buchner reported that the Finance and Taxation Committee had a telephone
conference meeting this morning. The League of Oregon Cities Board has voted that
"Protect Shared Revenues" is the No. 1 priority. The second priority is to review all of the
property tax exemptions that exist statewide to determine if they make sense and if there is
a set of criteria that can be used. The third priority is to develop a strategy to educate the
public about the long-term impacts of Measure 50 and 55 on local jurisdictions and how it
is affecting the state budget.

6. Award Contract for Pavement Management Program Pavement Overlay to Knife
Raver Corporation— removed for separate consideration
Motion by Council President Wilson, seconded by Councilor Webb, to approve the
Consent Agenda,with Item No. 3.5 b removed for separate discussion.
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council present.
Discussion of Item 3.5b:
Councilor Buehner advised she would recuse herself from discussion of 3.5b because one
of the contractors is a family relation. Mayor Dirksen suggested Councilor Buehner recuse
herself from the vote on this item, but not the discussion.
Councilor Henderson said there was a revision to the original staff report and he asked
staff to explain the changes. Senior Management Analyst Barrett explained that when the
original bids were received, they far exceeded the City Engineer's estimate along with what
was left of the budget appropriations. After examining all the information for this item,
the size of the project needed to be reduced to fit within budget appropriations. Senior
Management Analyst Barrett referred to the revised Agenda Item Summary,which reflects
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —August 10, 2010
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 4 of 15
removal of two of the streets from the original project. Those streets are: 98"'Avenue
from Scott Court to Greenburg Road and the North Dakota Street from Greenburg Road
to 95" Avenue. By removing these two streets, the total contract award is reduced by
about$75,000. The award amount along with a small contingency of$17,000 equals
$475,000.
In response to a question from Councilor Henderson, Senior Management Analyst Barrett
explained they have not talked with the contractor yet. If the Council approves this item,
staff can begin the negotiations with the contractor.
In response to a question from Councilor Henderson, Senior Management Analyst Barrett
advised this was not a lump sum contract;it is a unit-priced contract. Staff is able to
negotiate terms to reduce linear feet/miles.
Senior Management Analyst Barrett commented on the difference between the Engineer's
Estimate and the bids received. Since February, asphalt prices have increased about 18.5
percent,which is greater than what staff anticipated.
Councilor Henderson reported his review of this bid. He noted the widespread range in
mobilization numbers among the bids received. Senior Management Analyst Barrett said
staff often sees varying amounts proposed in mobilization figures, possibly because this is
where the contractors place their profit margin for the contract.
Councilor Henderson commented that Senior Management Analyst Barrett and Streets
and Transportation Senior Project Engineer McCarthy participated in the bid process;
however, he did not see where Senior Management Analyst Barrett also signed off on the
staff report. He asked about the staff procedures. Senior Management Analyst Barrett
commented on the newness of the agenda management software. Typically, he reviews
agenda items proposed for the Local Contract Review Board. For this agenda item, the
time schedule was compressed and all the reviews were done in just a few hours. Assistant
Finance and IT Director Smith-Wagar also reviewed this agenda item before it went to
City Manager Prosser. The City Manager explained that the review process for items
created in the new software. The approvals route is from the originator to supervisor, and
to the Department Director. If the item has a financial impact,it goes to the Finance
Department and if it is an LCRB item, it goes to Senior Management Analyst Barrett
before it goes to the Finance Director. The item then goes to the City Recorder before it
comes to the City Manager for final sign-off.
Senior Management Analyst Barrett commented on changes to the process where the plan
is to request bids much earlier next year than we did this year.
In response to a question from Councilor Henderson about budget appropriations.
Assistant Finance and IT Director Smith-Wagar said this item was funded from the Street
Maintenance Fee Fund.

In response to a question from Councilor Henderson about the Garrett slurry pavement
overlay commitment for $335,000, Senior Management Analyst Barrett advised this was
two projects. One is the standard Pavement Management Program (a component of the
slurry seal program). The other project was for$10,000 for the Garrett Street overlay.
Streets and Transportation Senior Project Engineer McCarthy advised we received a grant
to add a sidewalk and those bids were low, so money was left from the grant that was used
to pay for most of the Garrett Street overlay, with the remaining costs paid through the
Street Maintenance Fee fund. City Manager Prosser explained the accounting procedures;
the total appropriation was a combination of Street Maintenance Fee funds and grant
funds.
In response to a request for clarification from Councilor Henderson, Mayor Dirksen
offered that $1.2 million is the total revenue within the Street Maintenance Fee. The
Pavement Management Program is a component of projects to be funded by the Street
Maintenance Fee; another component is the Slurry Seal Program. Streets and
Transportation Senior Project Engineer McCarthy added that the Street Maintenance Fee
revenues would be increasing this year because of an increase to the fee. For paving
projects, the money will not be spent until it is received. The $1.2 million will be collected
over the course of FY 10/11. We are spending this year what was collected in FY 09/10,
which is budgeted at$840,000 and, of that, $12,000 is marked for right-of-way
maintenance. Of the $827,900 amount allocated for paving, $315,000 is for the Slurry Seal
Program that was on the Consent Agenda two weeks ago. About $10,000 is for the
remainder of the overlay on Garrett Street. Staff is now requesting$475,000 for the
Pavement Overlay Program.
7:51:29
Mayor Dirksen said it is his understanding, from reading the original Agenda Item
Summary, that the Engineer's Estimate was $458,000, which was within the
appropriations. But, the lowest bid was $533,000 and in excess of the available
appropriation money. The Mayor said he now understands that with the removal of the
two projects (revised Agenda Item Summary), the amount requested is $475,000. Is this
within the limit of the appropriation for the year? Senior Management Analyst Barrett
responded, "Yes,it is."
Councilor Henderson said that after the Council considers this item and at a later time, he
would like to review information to determine what the Street Maintenance Fee looks like.
He added that he hoped staff was working with the contractor to make sure he could do
the project. In response to a question from Councilor Henderson, Senior Management
Analyst Barrett explained the contingency number was selected to make the project around
$475,000. After this is appropriated, there will be $25,000 remaining in the Street
Maintenance Fee Fund.
Streets and Transportation Senior Project Engineer McCarthy advised Councilor
Henderson that the contract documents were prepared in-house. Senior Management
Analyst Barrett advised there are budget appropriations in the Fund for staff time.

the following:
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —August 10, 2010
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 15
o Concerned that there has been a two-year hiatus on this section of the
Comprehensive Plan update and, as a citizen, he does not know what has
transpired during that time.
o He does not know what the stipulated agreements are as referenced in the
Agenda Item Summary. The public ought to be able to review these
agreements before this item is considered by the City Council.
o He asked if the Council has reviewed the stipulated agreements.
o He was concerned about what was decided for the Homebuilders and asked
how the HBA issues were settled.
o While the Comprehensive Plan language has not been changed, the findings
are amended. He pointed out that the findings author the intent and because
the findings support the policies, they can be used to argue a land use case to
support the policy. He does not have a copy of the old findings vs. the new
findings. These should be available for comparison.
Council President Wilson said Mr. Frewing's concerns are valid and he had similar questions
for staff. He said he wants to confirm with staff that the Homebuilders took issue with the
Goal 5 language,with particular interest in the first paragraph, Page 4 of the findings,where
it says:
The proposed Urban Forest Policy doer not amend the 00's acknowledged Goals Program or
inventories. The Urban Forest Policy is aspirational and descriptive in nature in intent and effect..
These conflicts are historical and the discussions revolved around whether some of the
Comprehensive Plan language is regulatory. Council President Wilson said he sees the
proposed changes as "housekeeping" to avoid litigation and our intent is unchanged.
Associate Planner Floyd said the intent has not changed and these are housekeeping
measures. The Homebuilders saw weaknesses in the previous findings; these updated
findings are intended to avert litigation.
Associate Planner Floyd referred to Mr. Frewing's testimony about the stipulated
agreements. These agreements are in the file and are basically for extensions of time to file
the record,which never occurred. City Attorney Ramis further explained that there was a
criticism leveled by the Homebuilders that the findings did not explain clearly the intentions
with respect to aspirational and regulatory aspects. The findings lay that out. The
Homebuilders made the point that they understood the staffs intention, but the language of
the findings was not clear enough. These findings are an attempt to clarify.
City Attorney Ramis referred to the stipulations and agreements and confirmed that staff is
correct. There are some stipulations by which we extended the time so that the
Homebuilders and the staff could continue to have their conversations. Later, there was a
stipulation whereby the City remanded the decision so the jurisdiction was back before the
City Council. The idea was to address the litigation through conversation and exchange and
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —August 10, 2010
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 15
then bring the issue before the City Council rather than to spend the money and time on
litigation.
Mr. Frewing referred to Associate Planner Floyd's comment that there were findings on four
of the statewide goals and now there are findings on six or eight; there are findings on some
new goals. Mr. Frewing said he does not oppose this, but the wording gives a lot to the
Homebuilders and not much to the citizens of Tigard. As an example, he referred to
Statewide Planning Goal 10 (Page 6 of 19):
These goals and policies do not reduce the amount of buildable lands available nor require a lowering
of allowable densities.
Mr. Frewing said there might be some forested lands or groves of trees,where the Code
does not allow development. He said it looks to him as if the Homebuilders have tried to
tighten up the provisions that favor their interest in getting the highest number of houses on
a piece of land.
Mr. Frewing noted that Goal No. 9, Economic Development, says this new policy calls for
flexibility in development standards and appropriate tree planting requirements to ensure that the urban forest
is sustained and in a manner that does not discourage investment or economic activity. Mr. Frewing said
that he thinks that saving trees in Tigard might, in fact,inhibit some particular development
or economic activity. He said, "This is just another case where I think the HBA has
squeezed in words here so that when we get down to an argument on some development
years from now—if we're still alive—they will point to these words for support."
City Attorney Ramis said he wanted to be very clear on one point. This language was not
vetted with the HBA; they did not offer this language. This is our staff's description of their
intention that backs up the language of the Comprehensive Plan.
Councilor Buehner said it was important to recognize that these comments were made in
other chapters of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff has reiterated the language that was
included in other chapters and included that language in these findings.
In response to a question from Mr. Frewing whether staff agrees with Councilor Buehner's
statement above,Associate Planner Floyd said these are broad aspirational goals and they do
link into other goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Frewing asked if these
words were in the Comprehensive Plan in the findings under Goals 9 and 10 noting that 9
and 10 do not relate to trees. Mr. Floyd said that specific references to other sections of the
Comprehensive Plan come later in the findings. In terms of what is before the Council
tonight, these findings are bolstered by the annotated bibliography,which was also linked in
support of the proposed revised findings. The language is broadly linking to the themes of
the Comprehensive Plan in other areas.

8:16:32 PM
• Staff Recommendation: Associate Planner Floyd said the staff recommends Council
readopt the Urban Forest Comprehensive Plan text amendment as previously approved
under Ordinance No. 08-08, subject to new findings contained in the Staff Report,
Exhibit A,with any alterations that may be determined necessary through the public
hearing process.
• Council Discussion
8:17:07
Councilor Webb supports the language as proposed by staff; noting similarities to what
had been approved in 2008.
Councilor Buehner said she sees this predominately as a housekeeping item to avoid the
expense of a LUBA process. The changes to the findings are de minimis and will save
the public the cost of a LUBA appeal and take care of the HBA concerns.
Councilor Henderson asked if this had become a bottleneck in the Comprehensive Plan
implementation. Associate Planner Floyd characterized this item as a "hanger on" where
we needed to establish a firm legislative foundation for urban forestry. The Urban
Forestry Program Development Code amendments are underway with discussions now
at the Citizens Advisory Commission, so it is important to take care of this matter in a
timely fashion. Mayor Dirksen said this is a good point. We have a task force in place
that is looking at potential code amendments and they cannot fully address the matter
until this legislative basis is in place.
Council President Wilson agreed this matter was essentially a housekeeping item. He
said he appreciated Mr. Frewing's comments to assure open and honest governance. He
said he supported the recommendation of staff.
8:20:12
• Council Consideration: Ordinance No. 10-11

5. RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PERIODIC REVIEW UPDATE
• Staff Report was presented by Senior Planner Wyss. A copy of the staff report is on file in
the meeting packet material. The work program for the periodic review was approved by the
Department of Land Conservation and Development on April 15, 2010. Per the ORS the
City now has three years to complete the work program (April 15, 2013). He reviewed the
tasks included in the work program and the schedule to complete the review.
The Planning Commission will be acting as the Advisory Committee for the periodic review.
The Commission has already reviewed the materials for Task 1 and will meet in September
to review Tasks 2 and 3 and the initial analysis of Task 4. The Commission will meet at their
regular monthly meetings with the periodic review on their agenda throughout the remainder
of the process with the goal to come up with an Economic Opportunities Analysis that suits
the City's needs.
Senior Planner Wyss said he would return to the City Council in a few months for an update
on the process.
8:27:45
• Council Discussion
Councilor Buehner asked when the remaining tasks would be undertaken as part of the
Periodic Review. Senior Planner Wyss responded with the following timeline:
• Population and Housing Review—will be done this autumn and anticipates that it
will be submitted by the end of the calendar year.
• Downtown Development Standards—will be done in the next couple of weeks.
• Economic Opportunities Analysis—will be submitted upon its completion around
next May or June.
• Public Facility Plan—referred to the recent update of the Water and Sewer Master
Plans as well as a scheduled update on the Transportation System Plan (to be
submitted as a task by the end of this calendar year). All the information for these
Plans along with the Storm Water Master Plan will be compiled and scheduled for
completion by December 2012.
• Population Forecast and Coordination with Metro—is a standard work task that is
identified for all Metro jurisdictions and assures that Metro is given information to
assure that all jurisdictions are working under the same forecasting.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 11 of 1 S
Councilor Buehner noted that when working on the Urban and Rural Reserves Process,
some parameters were established regarding population projections. She asked if we will
have updated projections at the time we work on the Periodic Review, or will we be still be
operating on the projections done for the 2009/10 study? Senior Planner Wyss said his
understanding was that Metro is just finishing their forecast and starting the next model
phase, so we will operate under the point forecast during our periodic review.
In response to a question from Councilor Henderson, Senior Planner Wyss advised that
Periodic Review is supposed to occur every five-seven years. It has been the early 1990's
since Tigard has gone through Periodic Review along with most other jurisdictions because
of state funding issues. According to the Oregon Revised Statutes, once the Work Program
is approved by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), this is
when the three-year clock begins. Councilor Henderson asked if the $35,000 was adequate
to fund this program. Senior Planner Wyss advised this amount was adequate;no matching
funding was required by the City. The match is for staff and materials. The City will be
doing much of the mapping and GIS analysis and because we update the buildable lands
inventory every year, we already have that information.
In response to a question from Councilor Henderson about the format of the report, Senior
Planner Wyss explained that each task is submitted separately to DLCD for compliance
review and,if complete, the task will be removed from the work program.
• Mayor Dirksen asked for a procedural check saying he realized he did not officially close the
previous public hearing. City Attorney Ramis advised this did not warrant procedure prejudice
and no additional City Council Consideration was necessary.
6. RECEIVE UPDATE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Staff presentation was reviewed on the following projects; a copy of the presentation is on file
with the Council packet materials.
• 10 Million Gallon Reservoir Improvement and Transfer Pump Station Project
(Presentation by City Engineer Kyle and Senior Project Engineer Murchison)
• Pacific Highway/ Greenburg Road/ Main Street/ and Hall Blvd intersection upgrade

7. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE TO
ESTABLISH A PLANNING COMMISSION SUBCOMMITEE AS THE DOWNTOWN
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD AND CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO APPOINT
MEMBERS
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly presented the staff report.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 12 of 15
The issue before the Council was: Shall Council approve an ordinance amending the
Tigard Municipal Code Chapter 2.08 to establish a subcommittee of the Planning
Commission to serve as the Downtown Design Review Board and approve a resolution
appointing Planning Commissioner Karen Ryan and Planning Commission Alternates
Donald Schmidt and Richard Shag as members of the Design Review.Board?
Staff believes only a few applicants would choose the Downtown Review Board process for
approval of their projects and most would choose the Type II decision path.
Creating a Downtown Design Review Board is a long-term goal; however, a separate board
would have little to do. As an interim measure, staff recommends a subcommittee of the
Planning Commission be designated as the Downtown Design Review Board.
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly reported there is an error in the staff report. The
second paragraph in the Key Facts section of the Agenda Item Summary, it states that the
subcommittee would make a recommendation to the Planning Commission but, in fact, the
Design Review Board would have the authority to issue final orders. The ordinance contains
the correct language. .
The Planning Commission reviewed this course of action a couple of months ago and
expressed support. Planning Commissioners Karen Ryan, Donald Schmidt along with
Alternate Planning Commissioner Richard Shavy have volunteered to serve on this board.
An emergency is being declared for the ordinance should someone decide to use this
procedure.
Councilor Buehner asked City Attorney Ramis if specific language was needed in the
ordinance regarding the alternate member of the Planning Commission having voting rights
on the Board. After discussion, City Attorney Ramis concluded the language as proposed is
adequate.
• Council Consideration: Ordinance No. 10-12 and Resolution No. 10-42
