the new water treatment plant in West Linn. Mr. Norby's testimony is

of his letter"To the Mayors and City Council of Lake Oswego,Tigard and
West Linn." A copy of this letter is on file in the record copy of the January
22,2013,meeting packet.
After Mr. Norby's testimony,there was a brief discussion between him and
Councilor Buehner about the situation during the West Linn City Council
meeting brought up during Mr. Norby's testimony. They each offered their
perspective on what transpired during and after the meeting. Mr. Norby's
comments are contained in his written testimony and Councilor Buehner

City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 972231503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 15
decisions made by their government. She said the project is estimated to cost
$250,000,000 with 53 percent allocated as the City of Tigard's responsibility.
This cost will be borne by ratepayers. She suggested Tigard consider other
sources for its water supply. Ms.Vrohman said that,as a citizen of West
Linn, she has been involved in fighting this project. She stated that on behalf
of the water partnership,Lake Oswego has offered$5 million to the City of
West Linn to pay as a franchise fee. Ms.Vrohman said that she is one of
about 60 homeowners that are being sued by Lake Oswego—she referred to
"CC&R's" (covenants,conditions and restrictions) as the central issue to the
suit. Ms.Vrohman commented on the impact the water plant,as an industrial
use,would have on her as a property owner.

firm participated in the stakeholder working group during the concept
planning and they look forward to participating with the City of Tigard in the

7. INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING ON THE URBAN FORESTRY CODE REVISIONS
ADMINISTRATIVE RULE PROCESS
The administrative rulemaking procedure is described in Tigard Municipal Code Section 2.04.070,
and includes notice to both council and the public. Staff formally notified council of the proposed
administrative rules on December 13,2012. Councilors Woodard and Henderson both notified City

Public notice of the administrative rules discussion was sent on January 7,2013.

February 5,2013.
• IM Mayor Cook called the meeting to order.

City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov I Page ]0 of 15
asked for City Council consideration of a resolution that would amend the citywide
Master Fees and Charges Schedule to implement the changes adopted in the Urban
Forestry Code Revisions (UFCR) that were previously adopted.
o For the new UFCR revisions to go into effect on March 1,both the administrative
rules and the proposed resolution need to be approved by the City Council.
o City Manager Wine reviewed the administrative rule process in general. IN
o City Manager Wine reviewed the amendments to the Urban Forestry Manual based
on council direction during the public hearing process.
o The staff recommendation was for council to direct the City Manager to accept the
Administrative Rules with four revised sections.
• Associate Planner Daniels continued the staff report and reviewed the proposal to
amend the citywide Master Fees and Charges Schedule as described in her January 22,2013,
memorandum to the Tigard City Council regarding the UFCR Master Fees and Charges,
which was included in the council meeting packet as Attachment 4 to the Agenda Item
Summary.
• J Mayor Cook called for public testimony. There was no testimony.
• Associate Planner Daniels reiterated the staff recommendations for council acceptance
of the administrative rules with the four amendments described by staff and approval of the
proposed resolution amending the citywide Master Fees and Charges Schedule.
• 18 Council questions and discussion followed:
o Councilor Buehner commented that the information provided regarding English (aka
"London") plane trees was non-responsive. She noted the problems encountered on
her street with 23 English plane trees were planted,causing issues with water and
drainage pipes. All of these trees were removed and all the sidewalks and pipes had
to be replaced;this was very expensive to all of the neighbors. Councilor Buehner
proposed that this tree be removed from the list of street trees.
■ Consultant Prager advised the trees selected for the list were evaluated for
success across the Portland region for specific applications. These trees are
resilient and do well in parking lots and as street trees. He agreed that if
these trees are not provided adequate space to grow,they will cause damage
to pipes and sidewalks. The manual prescribes larger setback from utilities
and sidewalks to avoid problems with large-growing trees. This is a new
provision to the code.
■ After discussion,there was consensus the new proposed setbacks address the
issue and reduced the risk of damage to sidewalks and pipes.
o Councilor Woodard referred to Administrative Issue A4—"Is requiring tree
protection inspections by arborists/landscape architects twice monthly during
developments excessive?" There was lengthy discussion regarding A4 and whether
this matter should return to the City Council before having this provision included in
the administrative rules. After discussion and the assurances that the administrative
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—JANUARY 22,2013
City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 11 of 15
rules would be evaluated and amended if problems are encountered,the consensus
was to move forward with the implementation of the administrative rules. =,J
Principal Planner McGuire referred to staffs intention to monitor the administrative
rules.
o ED Councilor Snider reviewed his concerns with hazard tree abatement. He advised
his understanding was the costs arising from a complaint about a hazard tree would
be borne on the person making the complaint. He asked about the situation where
someone has attempted to resolve a problem with their neighbor without city
assistance and eventually an arborist proves there is a problem, so why would the full
cost to remedy the matter be placed upon the complainant? Councilor Snider said a
secondary issue was that there should be a fee waiver available when there is a
legitimate concern,but a complainant cannot afford the cost for hazard tree
abatement.
■ Associate Planner Daniels said she had given misinformation on this matter.
A person making a complaint must pay for costs initially and,if a hazard is
found to exist,the complainant will be reimbursed by the city. The person
who owns the hazard tree would be assessed the fee by the city.
■ City Manager Wine said fee waivers can be handled through the standard city
process in place.
Discussion ensued on the proposed amendments to the Master Fees and Charges Schedule.
IR
In response to a question from Mayor Cook—Associate Planner Daniels distributed a
summary of changes to further clarify changes to the master fees and charges schedule.
While there are more fees,this does not mean the costs to develop will be more since the
amount of the fees for specific actions are less than what is being charged under the existing
requirements.
In response to a question from Councilor Henderson an arborist,in some circumstances,
must be hired;however,this is a requirement in the existing code also,including when a
developer creates a partition (2 or 3 lots) or a subdivision. No arborist is required for an
addition to a single-family home.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodard about a tree establishment bond,
Associate Planner Daniels advised that the city currently has such a bond,but it is not part
of the fee schedule. Staff is proposing to make these charges a part of the fee schedule so
everyone knows what to expect. The money paid for the bonds is refunded when the
developer has demonstrated the requirements were met.
Councilor Woodard asked about urban forestry inventory fees. Consultant Prager said this
is a new fee. This fee would contribute to building the tree inventory so people can more
easily identify trees that are protected on their property. In response to a comment by
Councilor Snider, Consultant Prager explained that the council,by adoption of the
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—JANUARY 22,2013
City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 12 of 15
Comprehensive Plan/Master Plan,directed that the city should provide a publicly accessible
tree inventory so people could find this information more easily. Councilor Woodard noted
some concerns about whether this fee will end up costing developers and property owners
more than anticipated;he indicated he felt more comfortable with letting this proceed
because this can be reviewed when needed;i.e.,annually.
Principal Planner McGuire suggested that one way to look at the costs associated with
establishing a tree inventory: Currently,if a homeowner knows that some trees on their lot
might be protected,they must come to the Permit Center to ask staff to help them identify
the trees. Staff then must research records,which might be in a paper or electronic format.
Instead of taking staff time to do this research,this inspection could be done at the
beginning when subdivisions and plans are being approved by simply referring to the city's
GIS system. This fee offsets inputting the information into the GIS system. City Manager
Wine,in response to a question from Councilor Snider, said the requirement to build a tree
inventory is new and a developer applicant is not paying for staff research time now.
Responding to a question from Councilor Buehner, staff confirmed during the application
process that if a tree is identified to remain on a piece of property,then the
developer/applicant must pay$137 to place the tree within the GIS system.
Councilor Henderson commented on how the City of Tigard compares itself to other cities
—should this be something we should do? Associate Planner Daniels said the Planning
Commission requested this review be done when it was considering this matter;Tigard is
comparable with regard to the fees being imposed. Councilor Henderson said he thinks it's
often a good idea to look to see how the city compares to other jurisdictions,he thinks we
could always strive to do better regardless.
C= Motion by Councilor Snider,seconded by Councilor Buehner, to approve the
administrative rules proposed in the Urban Forestry Manual.
> Note: Mayor closed the public hearing prior to the City Council taking a vote on the motion.
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of City Council present.

Associate Planner Daniels referred to the potential amendments to the called out in the staff

TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—JANUARY 22,2013
City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 972231503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 13 of 15
administrative rules. This motion was made and seconded and the City Council approved that
motion. By approving the motion,the City Council was directing the City Manager to approve
the administrative rules. This action has been taken. The administrative rules proposed to the
City Council were based upon the staff memorandum. City Attorney Bennett said he would
read that to mean the Council has directed the City Manager to approve the manual,consistent
with the staff report presented to the City Council tonight.
City Attorney Bennett said,"To make it dear...you direct the City Manager to implement the
administrative rules proposed in the Urban Forestry Manual,based upon the staff report
presented to you tonight and the modifications that were included that staff report." Council
members indicated this was its direction.
City Attorney recommended that the City Council entertain a new motion to clarify the decision
made by council earlier to direct the city manager.
Motion by Councilor Woodard,seconded by Councilor Buehner,that the City Manager is
hereby directed to approve the administrative rules proposed in the Urban Forestry Manual,
consistent with the recommended changes in the staff report dated January 22,2013.

scheduled during the consideration of the budget each year. City Manager Wine advised these
charges before the City Council this evening will be included in the schedule submitted to the
City Council during the FY 2014 budget adoption process.
Motion by Councilor Buehner,seconded by Councilor Woodard,to adopt Resolution No. 13-
03,a resolution to amend the Citywide Master Fees and Charges Schedule as Adopted by
