Is the citizen communication section on the regular City Council agenda adequate or are
people intimidated to testify before the City Council during this type of venue.
• Other alternatives discussed:
® Change the format of the Fifth Tuesday meetings; i.e., have people submit questions in
advance allowing the City Council to do some preparation and eliminate those who attend to
air spontaneous issues.
® Reviewed the Mayor's Est (contained in the packet materials); i.e., holding "coffees";
developing a forum for Town Hall meetings.
• "Coffees" were explained by the Mayor. Let it be known that the Mayor and a City Council
member will be at a certain coffee shop at a certain date and time.
• Assistant City Manager Newton noted three Neighborhoods would be having annual
meetings this week. She suggested perhaps one or two City Council members might attend
(no quorum) to talk to those who attend the neighborhood meetings. Mayor Dirksen said
he would like to be at these neighborhood meetings as a rule.
• Hold a Town Hall two times a year and have Senator Burdick and Representative Galizio
also attend so City and State issues can be discussed. Mayor Dirksen advised that when our
legislators hold Town Has in Tigard, the City Council is also invited to take part A County
representative could also be invited.
• Council discussion and consensus:
• Citizens are emailing City Council when there are concerns and issues are resolved.
® Hold a coffee (on a Fifth Tuesday night) and a Town Hall a couple of times a year (no
quorum). These will be scheduled so they are occurring approximately each quarter.
® Attend a meeting of each of the neighborhood networks one-time a year (no quorum).

7:39:21 PM
Mayor Dirksen advised that two weeks ago he participated in the joint Policy Advisory Committee on
Transportation OPACT) retreat where potential and recommended funding sources and revenue
assumptions for future transportation projects were discussed, As a result,Metro has recommended to
revise the Regional Transportation Plan. This was revision was reviewed on Monday by the
Washington County Coordinating Committee. JPACT will be meeting again and will be requested to
vote on some of these recommendations. Mayor Dirksen said he wanted to make the City Council
aware of some of the issues for consideration and response. Mayor Ditksen outlined some of the
issues:
Funding sources —
• Recommendation that there be the equivalent of a one-half cent per year increase in the gas tax to
continue for about ten years.
• Discussion that all cities and counties should consider a street utility fee similar to the one that the
City of Tigard has to provide local and county revenues for street maintenance. This would free-up
funding for capital projects.
• Recommendation that all local governments should institute a local System Development Charge to
cover funding for local road improvements. The County's SDC will be only for roads that are of
County significance.

City ofTigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Fuge 3of2l
• Recommendation that the vehicle registration fee continues at about $2 peryear and that counties
consider increasing or instituting their own vehicle registration fee.
• Discussion of the appropriateness of tolling. The conclusion was that we should consider tolling
on new construction. It was not appropriate to place tolls on existing structures or in existing
highways.
• Recommendation that the payroll tax, considered by Metro,needs to increase for transit operations
and maintenance.
• Recommendation that 60 percent of the payroll tax increase should go toward high-capacity transit
and 40 percent to go toward frequent bus or local bus route improvements.
• Would like to see for high-capacity transit federal and local matching sources at least 60 percent
come from a federal source. There was a suggestion that if high-capacity transit was going to be the
new focus of the Federal Transportation System,we should lobby the federal government to return
to the focus it had in the 50's and 60's when the federal government provided up to 90 percent of
the funding for the interstate highway system.
The above recommendations will be considered by JPACT on June 11, 2009. Mayor Diiksen
distributed an agenda for the June 11 JPACT meeting and reviewed items for consideration.
Mayor Dirksen advised that at the Washington County Coordinating Committee the funding resources
identified were based on what was felt to be economically and politically feasible rather than what was
actually going to be needed. There is in excess of$2 billion in highway construction/expansion needs
now;however,the WCCC could see no way to come up with those kinds of funds.
Mayor Dirksen said he would appreciate feedback and comments from the rest of the City Council
members.
1.5 Call to Council and Staff for Non-Agenda Items: None

2. CI ZEN COMMUNICATION
Citizen Communication
Bob Simonyi and Randy Richardson, 7060 SW Beveland Road,Tigard, OR 97223 testified. Mr. Simonyi
referenced written testimony,which is on file in the City Recorder's office. His testimony included:
• Their property on SW Beveland located in the Tigard Triangle was purchased in 1999. The property
was listed by the realtor as commercial and was purchased by them with a commercial loan.
• In March 2008, they received a letter from the City stating they were in violation of City Code because
they converted a residential building to commercial use without going through the required permit
process. The City advised that City records showed the only use for this property was residential. The
current property owners did not convert the property.
• He reviewed what the City was requiring and the history of discussions on the scope of work and a
possible reduction in the amount of work that would be required. The cost of the work required was
estimated by the property owners to be about$300,000.
• The property owners advise there are no customers visiting their site and they have very little employee
traffic.
• On April 2,2008,the property owners received a second voluntary compliance agreement from the City
with a letter that said they had to have a review in by June 1,2008 or vacate by July 1,2008.

Mayor Dirksen advised the property owners that the goal is to make sure the right things are done to resolve
the situation. He said it appears that what is needed is to have all of the participants in the same room at the
same time.
Councilor Webb advised the City Council will hear about the status of this matter.
7:57:08 PM
> Luanne Tbielke, 15691 SW Surnmerfield Lane, Tigard, OR 97224, testified regarding cell phone,towers.
She submitted for the Council's review 24 photographs of cell tower sites in the City of Tigard along with
information illustrating how to camouflage unsightly communication towers. These documents are on file
in the City Recorder's office. Ms. Tl-iielke said she talked to a City of Tigard staffmember who advised the
City camouflages cell towers and referred to the tower on Canterbury Lane at 100 Avenue. Photo No. 1
submitted by Ms.TIrielke shows this site; she said,"that camouflage is a joke ..it's horrible."
Ms. Thielke referred to the literature from some Califoriiia communities about successful camouflage
solutions. This literature is on file in the City Recorder's office. She urged City Council and staffto pursue
this so our City is "not a bunch of cell towers."
Mayor Dirksen mentioned that cost would be of consideration, Ms. Thielke said the California
communities pay for the camouflage through fees and development charges.
In response to a question from Mayor Dirksen,the Council members agreed to have staffresearch costs and
determine what processes might be available make this work better. Mayor Dirksen said he believed that
the cell tower on Canterbury was an experiment rather than a"successful job."
8:02:18 PM
> Tavel Goberman, P. 0. Box 1664, Beaverton, OR 97075 signed in to speak regarding a complaint against
the Oregon State Bar. Mayor Dirksen advised Mr. Goberman that the City Council received information
previously on the issue Mr. Goberman indicated he wanted to address. Mayor Dirksen advised Mr.
Goberman he would be allowed two ininutes to address the City Council. Mr. Goberman said the Oregon
State Bar's office is located in Tigard and the City issued a business license to this organization.
Mr. Goberman advised he will be a candidate for the US Senate in 2010.
Mr. Goberinan spoke about the Columbia River Crossing project and his concerns about how fl-iis can be
funded.
Mr. Goberman referred to his complaints against die Bar. Information regarding some of his concerns is
referenced in written material prepared by him;this material is on file in the City Recorder's office.
Councilor Buchner advised Mr. Goben-nan that the Oregon State Bar is a state organization, governed by
state statute. Cities have absolutely no authority over the Bar or similar licensing agencies. Mr. Goberman
contended that City of Tigard has an interest because the Bar's office is located within the City.

Mayor Dirksen advised that dieCity of Tigard took part in a countywide urbanization forum. This
agenda item has to do with approving the final resolution.
8:10:15 PM
Assistant City Manager Newton summarized the matter before the City Council. The proposed
resolution is to support the work of the Urbanization Forum and to commit and undertake and
complete the specific actions recommended at the earliest possible time. She said this process that
began and concluded in 2008. The resolution has language regarding how the County will move
forward with looking at ways to provide services to urban unincorporated areas and urban expansion
areas. Assistant City Manager Newton advised there have been recent charges to the resolution. The
most recent version was provided to the City Council today,which adds a comment in Section 1,No. 2
— "The provisions of the resolution also apply to the land south of the City of Tualatin and north of
Wilsonville brought into the Urban Growth Boundary in 2002 and 2004." The City of Tigard added
language that was picked up by the Steering Committee that talks about urbanization policy and the
ability of the County to find funding and legislative remedies for providing services in urbanized
unincorporated areas. The City of Tigard said we would support this language if the funds were
assessed or paid for by the people who were being provided the services and would not impact people
in cities that also live in the County.
Councilor Webb pointed out that the City of Banks had been left out the resolution and was added to
the most recent version of the resolution.
Mayor Dirksen, said over the last 20 years there has been less than complete satisfaction with the way
urban expansion and planning for new areas in the Urban Growth Boundary has been done. In an
effort on the part of the County and the cities within the County to determine how this could be done
better in the future and resolve some issues regarding areas that have been urbanized,this long process
was embarked upon. There were many compromises. The result is at least better than what we had
previously, This same resolution is being considered by every city and special district that took part in
the foram as well as the County.
Assistant City Manager Newton also noted the Council discussed this matter at length on April 21,
2009.
Motion by Councilor Buchner, seconded by Council President Wilson to adopt Resolution No. 09-40,
noting that the City of Banks should be added to Section 1 on Page 2.

budget, capital improvement plan,and the lengthy budget process. A copy of the presentation referred
to by Director LaFrance is on file in the City Recorder's office.

8:38,39 PM
Mayor Dirksen noted, in light of the fact that we just received an overview of the entire budget process, he
invited the Budget Committee members present to testify.
C. Public Testimony:
Budget Committee Chair Snider testified. He said he thought this year's process was very productive
and yielded a lot more discussion, which was a positive step. He said they spent a lot of time
considering questions and issues. He asked for clarification on the net effect of the no COLA to non-
represented employees and the furlough days to represented employees. Finance and Information
Services Director LaFrance said the target to reduce expenditures was $600,000 and was not fully met;
however, a good effort has been made. Chair Snider confirmed this would mean expenditures would
have to be reduced by about an additional$140,000.
8:41:13 PM
Budget Committee Member James said he thinks the budget before the City Council is a fair and
prudent budget with services being kept at a status quo level, which is important given today's
economic climate. He extended thanks to staff for the help provided to the Budget Committee during
the process.
8:41:49 P
Budget Committee Member Goodrich noted he was new to the Budget Committee this year. He
advised he came into the process very concerned about the economy. He commented on the
commitment of the City Council and staff to manage revenues and expenses so they are relatively
balanced. The budget information provided was extremely well organized. The resources and the basis
for recommendations were contained in the handout material$. He acknowledged the assistance of City
Manager Prosser and Finance & Information Services Director LaFrance in areas where he wanted to
do additional research. Committee Member Goodrich said he found he was able to be involved in a
positive way and make meaningful decisions based on fact. He noted Tigard is in a unique situation
with regard to the positive General Fund balance. He was favorably impressed that City Council and
staff had made tough decisions during the middle of last year to reduce staff when it became apparent
that revenues and expenditures were not in balance. This gave him confidence that City officials have
discipline and commitment. He supports the proposed budget If the economy continues to decline,
he said he was comfortable with the leadership by the City Council and staff that they will continue to
make the tough decisions when needed. When the economy rebounds, the City will be able to take
advantage of the good position it is in.
8-44:25 PM
Mayor Dirksen thanked the Budget Committee Members for their comments. He reaffirmed
comments made earlier by Director LaFrance that having a relatively experienced Budget Committee
allowed more time to address strategic issues to make sure the City, in general, is going in tight
direction.
8:44:53 PM
Councilor Buchner noted her appreciation of the though tfiA well-reasoned comments made by the
citizen members of the Budget Committee. Councilor Webb concurred with Councilor Buchner's
remarks and extended her thanks. Council President Wilson added his thanks as well and referred to
the General Fund balance information. He cited comments made earlier by Councilor Buchner and he
had also been alarmed to see the decline in future years of the ending balance of the General Fund

when he first started participating'in the Budget process. He said he came to realize that the Budget is
an authorization to spend,but we typically do not spend all of the money authorized.
Mayor Dirksen called for testimony regarding the resolution certifying the City provides services
qualifying for state shared revenues. There was none.

8. APPROVE A RESOLUTION ADOPTING CITYWIDE MASTER.FEES AND CHARGES SCHEDULE
—RESOLUTION NO.09-44
a. Senior Management Analyst Barrett presented the staff report. Tigard Municipal Cade 3,32.050 requires.an
annual review of the citywide fees and chanes. The master fees and charges schedule contains all of the
updated citywide fees and charges. Staff reviewed the schedule and proposed changes are shown in the
copy the City Council received in the packet material. A number of the changes are simply updates to
current rates in conjunction with CPI, construction cost index, etc., as required by either resolution or the
Municipal Cade. A fete small adjustments were recommended to keep Tigard fees in line with actual costs.
A few fees were added such as the transportation development tax. No building fees are included in this
update as staff continues to review the Building activity and associated fees: Findings and a
recommendation regarding new building fees will be coming before the City Council later. The goal is to
raise an additional$250,000 through Building fees,as recommended by the Budget Committee.
b. Council Discussion
Councilor Buehner noted a scrivener error— Page 19 — "annexation." She noted the City Council
approved a resolution extending the moratorium through February 2010.
Councilor Henderson asked for comment from the Finance & Information Services Director LaFrance
on the traffic impact fee (Page 37). Finance & Information Services Director LaFrance responded that
the transportation impact fee will continue for those developments that have their final approval
recorded already. This will remain in effect for a three-year period. Any new approvals, beginning in
July 2009, will be under the transportation development tax adopted by a vote of Washington County
citizens last November. There will be a time period where we rujll be collecting both fees as one phases
out and the other phases in. These fees will be accounted for in separate funds as required by the
voters,so we will be able to track.
City Manager Prosser clarified that both the traffic impact fee and the transportation development tax
are County fees. The master fees and charges resolution includes not only those fees that are set and
controlled by the City of Tigard, but includes those fees and charges set by other jurisdictions that the
City collects. City Manager Prosser said this becomes a "one-stop reference document" for staff and
the public and is made available on the City's website. Mayor Dirksen added that the traffic impact fees
collected by the City arekeptby the County. When a City wants to utilize some of those fees, they have
to apply to the Washington County Coordinating Committee for project funding approval. The WCCC
is made up of representatives from the County and all the cities within County. Mayor Dirksen advised
that the WCCC will discuss the implementation of the transportation development tax; that is, should
there be a discount or should the tax be phased in over a period of years.
Finance & Information Services Director LaFrance clarified for Councilor Bueliner that the proposed
resolution does.not include the proposed fees for the Building Division.

Mayor Dirksen also commented on the,Budget process. The City of Tigard is in relatively good condition
compared to other jurisdictions in the state. Two counties have fired their entire police force, There are a
couple of cities in the Portland metro area that are looking at severe cuts in service because of revenue
reductions. Mayor Dirksen also noted the negative impacts experienced by the Tigard-Tualatin School District
Tigard is able to avoid those kinds of cuts in service this year and this is a testament to a staff that is prudent
and frugal and a City Council that is conservative with our citizens' money. Mayor Dirksen said,
` c we
may not be able to do everything we want to do,we can do the things we need to do."
9:10:28 PM
11. CONSIDERATION OF SECONDHAND DEALER ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
• Police Chief Dickinson and Lieutenant deSully presented the staff report. The last major revision of this
ordinance occurred in 1983. Since that time many things have changed and it has become more of a
regional issue. The revision:
• Updates the language to include references to new electronic technology.
• Takes a regional approach.
Agencies in the region now recognize that when property is stolen and someone tries to sell the
property using either second-hand dealers or pawn shops, there needs to be a way to detect what is
occurring outside of our jurisdiction.
Police Chief Dickinson advised the proposed ordinance was sent to the five pawnshops that do business
in Tigard on a regular basis. Three had no comment and two commented af&matively on the
ordinance.
• Council Discussion
In response to a question from Councilor Buelmer, Lt. deSully advised that All That Glitters is the
primary pawnshop in the City of Tigard. They have several other stores in the tri-county area and these
regulations are similar to what agencies in the region are imposing, All That Glitters is preparing to
tcramp up" to comply with these new regulations.
Police Chief Dickinson advised there are transient second-hand dealers who come in to the area for a
few days to buy precious metals. They will need to comply with the new regulations.

12. ADOPT FINDINGS/APPROVE ORDINANCE: FIELDS; COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT (CPA2008-00008 &ZON 008-00002)
• Associate Planner Caines presented the staff report! On March 24, 2009, the City Council public
hearing was closed and the Council deliberated and reached a decision to approve the proposed
amendment, 3-1. The ordinance before the City Council tonight was prepared by staff to adapt the
Comprehensive flan and Zoning Map amendment for applicant Fred Fields. The applicant has
prepared findings,which are attached as Exhibit A of Attachment 1 in the City Council packet material.
Associate Planner Caines advised there are two conditions contained in the ordinance:
1. Per DLCD recommendation—a trip cap of 3.52-peals pm. taps for the development of the site.
2. Revise the Metro Title 4 Employment and Industrial Area Map — if it is legally required, then the
applicant will be responsible for that.
Associate Planner Caines said the alternatives before the City Council tonight are,
1. To adapt the ordinance as drafted, or
2. Direct staff to revise the ordinance reflecting any changes the City Council might propose.
• City Attorney Ramis gave remarks to supplement the staff report. It is to be clear that the record is
closed at this point. The City Council is at the stage of deliberating and adopting findings, including a
final carder. The City Council made a decision previously that was tentative to approve the application
subject to seeing findings, which are now before the City Council, The findings for the Council's
consideration are slightly amended from the version that was, originally in the City Council packet,
including some grammatical adjustments and adjustments in numbers and dates. The amendments are
not substantive.
City Attorney Ramis advised that there will be no testimony received tonight because the record is
closed. The complete record of the ease is in: the room tonight should:the City Council need to refer to
it. A complete list of exhibits is also available. If any piece of information is not on that exhibit list,it is
not in the record. There may have been some correspondence or emails that came in after the record
was closed and these are not included in the record..
• Council President Wilson asked whether the trip cap would have applied if the zone had remained the
same and the property owners had decided to develop the area as light industrial. Associate Planner
Caines said the trip cap was applied based on the traffic study completed by the applicant. The
Department of Land Conservation and.Development (DLCD) had an issue with the numbers given and
determined the numbers were lower than what could be generated from the site under the R-25zoning.
The cap is based on the lower single-family type of project, which is 352 p. . peals trips. Council
President Wilson said it is his understanding that industrial zoning generates more traffic. Associate
Planner Caines confirmed that it does generate more traffic. She further explained that the staff analysis
included the conclusion thateven if there was an issue with some of the traffic counts, that either multi-
family or single-family would still generate less trips than an industrial site. In response to in inquiry
from Council President Wilson, Associate Planner Caines affirmed that the DLCD decision regarding
the trip cap was based on the Transportation Planning Rule.
