Shall the council receive a briefing on the draft Sustainability Action Plan?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
No formal action is requested; the council is asked to listen to the briefing and comment on
the plan.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In 2011 the council:
•Established a goal to"Evaluate the city's internal sustainability efforts."
•Set a long-term goal to "Develop sustainability plan."
•Defined a sustainable community as one that " . . . can meet the needs of the present
without compromising the needs of the future."
In January 2012 the council set a goal to "Evaluate the city's sustainability efforts on an
ongoing basis." The intent of this goal was to define, monitor, evaluate and improve the city's
investments in sustainability.
Since sustainability first became a council goal in 2011, the city has achieved the following
milestones:
•Conducted sustainability assessment (2012)
•Established sustainability goals (2013)
•Developed sustainability plan (2014)
Staff completed the inventory of existing sustainability efforts (sustainability assessment) and
developed a scope of work for an outside consultant to assist with the next two milestones of
setting goals and developing a sustainability plan. Due to budget constraints, the direction was
for staff to work toward a draft sustainability action plan that would initially be specific to the
Public Works Department, with the intent that the plan would be enhanced and amended in
the future as other departments begin to document their sustainability efforts.
The attached draft Sustainability Action Plan represents the first concerted effort—from a
Public Works Department's perspective—to capture past, present and future sustainability
efforts. The attached plan focuses on four sustainability action areas. Each of these areas were
selected because they address important and impactful sustainability issues, offer potential
meaningful benefits for Tigard and are currently overseen by the city. Each action area has
recommended goals, milestones, strategies and performance measures. The sustainability
action areas are:
•Energy Management& Transportation
•Water Management& Quality
•Waste Reduction & Recycling
•Land & Habitat Conservation Management
Future sustainability efforts will involve other departments within the city. Those departments
are free to enhance the four focus areas or consider other focus areas that may pertain to their
departmental expertise.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could elect not to hear the briefing and forego commenting on the plan.

TIGARD DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
Introduction
In 2011, the Tigard City Council expressed a desire—in its goal setting session—to develop a
strategy around sustainability with the ultimate goal being to produce a plan that would:
1. Express the city's definition of sustainability;
2. Document the sustainable efforts the city has already accomplished;and
3. Lay out a framework and plan for sustainable goals and efforts moving into the future.
A work plan was developed around this goal and was assigned to the Public Works Department
because many of the existing sustainability efforts have roots in the daily work carried out by that
department. Public Works staff met with council in September 2011 and worked together on the
following:
• Staff produced a list of existing sustainable efforts and committed to continue developing
that list;
• Staff and council discussed the work plan and agreed on next steps;
• Council developed a definition of a sustainable community as follows:
"A sustainable community that can meet the needs of the present
without compromising the needs of the future."
• Council and staff discussed and agreed to the following general
milestones of this effort:
Conduct Sustainability Assessment 2012
Set Sustainability Goals 2013
Develop Sustainability Plan 2014
Implement Plan 2015
Monitor/Evaluate Implementation 2016
Progress
The council next set a goal in 2012 to"Evaluate the city's sustainability efforts on an ongoing basis."
This goal was also assigned to the Public Works Department to coincide with its efforts already
underway. Staff completed the inventory of existing sustainability efforts (sustainability assessment)
and developed a scope of work for an outside consultant to assist with the next two milestones of
setting goals and developing a sustainability plan. Due to budget constraints,the direction was for
staff to work toward a draft sustainability action plan that would initially be"public works specific,"
but could be enhanced and amended in future years as other departments became involved with the
plan.
Staff engaged other departments to create a Sustainability Steering Committee;this group was largely
made up of key leaders in the Public Works Department,along with the city's Values Team. And
because the city lacks in-house expertise in sustainability,a contract was let with Brightworks to help

the Public Works Department and the Steering Committee develop a draft plan. The plan includes
input from the city's Values Team and integrates with Tigard's 2027 Comprehensive Plan.

TIGARD DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
Executive Summary
The City of Tigard was incorporated in 1961 and today is a clean,livable and affordable community.
Located in southeast Washington County,about 15 minutes from downtown Portland,Tigard's
population in 2011 was an estimated 48,415 residents. As a community,Tigard strives to blend the
amenities of a modern city with the friendliness and community spirit of a small town.
In recent years,the city has placed an increasing focus on resource conservation initiatives. It has
formally defined a sustainable community as one that can"meet the needs of the present without
compromising the needs of the future." The city has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability
through several measures to quantify and improve efficiency and resource use. The city's efforts
have provided positive results,saving the city money and increasing the health and well-being of city
employees and citizens. The sustainability action plan will provide the city a comprehensive plan
with measurable goals. By developing a comprehensive plan,the city will leverage its values and
align its investment to the areas of greatest opportunity to our citizens.
Around the region there have been initiatives related to sustainable practices that have helped guide
Tigard's efforts,including:
• Legislation in 2007 mandating Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards,which require large power
companies to obtain 25 percent of their energy from renewable resources by 2025;and
• Legislation in 2009 directed Metro to develop"Climate Smart Communities" and mandated
reductions in greenhouse gasses generated by cars and trucks by the year 2035.
The following Sustainability Action Plan:A Vision for 2012–2020 represents the first concerted and
comprehensive effort to define—through the lens of sustainability—the city's past,present and
future efforts. Sustainability, however,is not new to the City of Tigard. Rather,sustainability aligns
with long-held values and a commitment to protect and conserve the city's finances,natural
resources and quality of life,as well as the broader environment.
In 2006,the City Council made the decision to adopt "A Place to Call Home" as the tagline for the
city. The tagline represents a commitment to a city that everyone could truly be proud of. In an
effort to further this vision,the city implemented three values for staff to reflect and embody.
These values are:
Respect and Care— We will treat people well
Do the Right Thing— We will go the extra mile to exceed expectations
Get it Done— We will focus on solutions—not excuses
These existing values represent a powerful statement of intent of the community of Tigard. Each of
these values provides direction on how the city should consider and address sustainability in its
operations and for Tigard citizens. Looking through the lens of sustainability,these same values
pose implied questions:
Wage
DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
Respect and Care
✓ How should a community respect and care for the land and environment it inhabits?
✓ How should the city act today to respect and care for the citizens of Tigard in the future?
Do the Right Thing
✓ What changes should the city make in our business practices today to ensure a healthy
community in the future?
Get it Done
✓ How should the city's day-to-day operational needs be balanced with human health and
environmental quality?
✓ What are the most meaningful actions the city can take right now,and which should the
city plan for tomorrow?
On January 10,2012,the City Council set a goal to"evaluate the city's sustainability efforts on an
ongoing basis." The intent of this goal was to define,monitor,evaluate and improve the city's
investments in sustainability. This plan builds upon the work of the city's Values Team,was driven
by the city's Sustainability Steering Committee,and leverages and complements similar efforts in
Northwest Oregon and beyond. In 2011,the City Council established the following defining
statement for Tigard related to sustainability:
A sustainable community that can meet the needs of the present without
compromising the needs of the future.
The sustainability action plan focuses on four Sustainability Action Areas,each chosen because it
address important and impactful sustainability issues,offers potential meaningful benefits for Tigard
and is currently overseen by the city. Each Sustainability Action Area is matched with a specific goal
to be achieved by the year 2020. The plan will then break down each area by listing achievements
already attained by the city,establishing associated performance measures and describing specific
strategies for how the city can achieve the goals. The following are the four Sustainability Action
Areas with their respective goals:
I. Energy Management&Transportation: Reduce fossil fuel energy usage by 20 percent
with energy efficiency,renewable energy and green power. Expand the city's inventory of
pedestrian and bike facilities by 1 percent annually until 2020.
II. Water Management& Quality: Actively participate in regional programs, strategies and
initiatives developed to direct the regional goal of diverting 64 percent of the annual waste
stream from the landfill.
III. Waste Reduction& Recycling: Actively participate in regional programs, strategies and
initiatives developed to direct the regional goal of diverting 64 percent of the annual waste
stream from the landfill.

IV. Land& Habitat Conservation Management: Develop a sustainable funding
methodology to ensure long-term maintenance of park and open space areas. Meet or
exceed level of service ratios for parks and open spaces as recommended in the current
version of the Park System Master Plan.
Conclusion
This plan will go into detail on each of the four focus areas above from a Public Works Department
perspective, and will recommend appropriate goals,milestones,strategies and performance
measures.
Phase II of this effort will involve other departments within the city or potentially become part of
the city's draft vision plan. Those departments will be free to enhance the four focus areas listed,or
they could consider other focus areas that may pertain to their departmental expertise. A brief
Google search of other city and agency sustainability plans show other potential focus areas such as
community health and well-being,education and outreach,procurement practices,and employee
safety and health.

TIGARD DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
Plan Scope and Integration
Public Works Department Pilot
The City of Tigard strategically opted to focus on the Public Works Department in implementing a
sustainability action plan. Public Works is responsible for the planning,design,construction,
operation and maintenance of the city's major infrastructure systems. These systems include parks,
streets,sanitary sewer,storm drainage,water, fleet and city facilities. The advantages of this pilot
approach were:
• A smaller,initial scope was financially feasible given the city's resources.
• Public works touches many of areas across the city.
• It establishes the overall action plan framework for the entire organization.
Also,the pilot offers the opportunity to test,refine,and improve the framework before considering
a broader and more complex organization-wide initiative.
Further Integration of Plan
This action plan will be amended and refined as other departments in the city become educated as to
the plan and expend their own efforts to add to or enhance strategies or performance measures
within the plan. It is anticipated that the Community Development Department will be the next
piece of the organization to review and amend this plan.
Timeframe of Plan: 2012-2020
This sustainability action plan was developed in 2012. This is the year that will be used as a
reference point and baseline for future improvements. The goals and targets within this plan are to
be completed by 2020. The city will track and summarize annually the progress made on the plan.
The city also intends to revisit—in a comprehensive manner—the plan in 2015 and again in 2020 to
re-assess goals and plan for timeframes beyond 2020.
Related Sustainability Planning Efforts and Initiatives
The City of Tigard's sustainability planning is nested within and informed and inspired by other
related jurisdictions,as well as a growing national and international movement among local
governments,including:
✓ Tigard's 2027 Comprehensive Plan.
✓ Washington County's sustainability plan.
✓ Partners for a Sustainable Washington County Community.
✓ Metro's Sustainability Plan for Metro Internal and Business Operations,August 2010.
✓ International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI).
✓ Oregon legislation in 2007 mandating Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards,which require large
power companies to obtain 25 percent of their energy from renewable resources;and
✓ Oregon legislation in 2009 directed Metro to develop"Climate Smart Communities" and
mandated reductions in greenhouse gasses generated by cars and trucks by the year 2035.
Additional information about each of the plans and initiatives above are provided in Appendix I to
this report.
Guiding Principles of This Plan
9IPage
DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
• The concept of sustainability is linked to city policy.
• Lead by example with sustainable business practices.
• Balancing the economic,environmental and social needs of the community is essential to
long-term sustainability.
• Public participation and community awareness are essential to building a sustainable city.
• Partnerships—among government and community—must be established to achieve
goals.
Terminology Within This Plan:
For consistency,the Sustainability Steering Committee has defined the following terms within the
context of the sustainability plan and action areas:
• Current State (2012 Baseline) and Accomplishments to Date: Current and past
sustainability efforts relating to a sustainability focus area.
• Goal: Comprehensive,measureable,intended results.
• Milestones: Specific,desirable targets to show progress toward meeting a goal.
• Recommendations/Strategies: Professional and experiential advice from city staff
and outside experts for specific actions to implement,or ideas for consideration,in
support of one or more goals.
• Performance Measures: Specific,measurable progress benchmarks supporting one or
more goals.
The city's Sustainability Steering Committee worked with a consultant (Brightworks) to review
sample action plans from other municipal organizations,along with a list of potential focus areas
and reached consensus on four Sustainability Action Areas addressing a wide variety of important
and impactful sustainability considerations. For the city,each action area offers the potential for
meaningful benefits,including
I. Energy Management&Transportation
Benefits: Reduction in city operating costs for energy and fuel purchases,reduction in air
pollutants,increased air quality and reduction in negative human health impacts.
II. Water Management& Quality
Benefits: Preservation of limited clean water resources through effective long-term
management of infrastructure.
III. Waste Reduction& Recycling
Benefits: Reduction in waste to landfills,reduction in air pollutants and noise pollution
from hauling trucks,and creation of business opportunities for recycling.
IV. Land& Habitat Conservation Management
Benefits: Increased opportunity for recreation and exercise,increased capacity of natural
systems to cleanse air and water and provide healthy living environment,and
preservation of valuable ecosystem services.

DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
For each sustainability action area,the Sustainability Steering Committee developed goals,
milestones (including targets or projects),performance measures,strategies and recommendations.
These were created to guide future projects and actions and allow the city to measure its progress.
In addition,the city has already made significant progress in many of these areas,and a summary of
the prior and current actions is documented under the"Current State" section of each action area to
showcase past and current successes;challenges and gaps for future efforts will also be discussed in
each section.
11IPage
i1GARD DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
I. Energy Management & Transportation
The city's electrical,natural gas and petroleum usage imposes financial and environmental costs on
the planet. Energy prices have been rising,putting pressure on household,business and government
budgets alike. Only by taking advantage of abundant renewable resources,or reducing current use
of these resources,will the city obtain energy security and avoid the environmental impacts of our
building and transportation energy use.
Tigard obtains its electrical energy from Portland General Electric (PGE). PGE is under a state
directive to include in its energy source portfolio renewable energy sources to account for 25 percent
by 2025. Thus Tigard's source of energy is already highly sustainable,allowing the city to focus its
energy sustainability efforts on reduction of consumption.
The city also recognizes the value of efforts that could lead to reduced use of vehicles and an
increase in infrastructure that encourages and accommodates bicycling and pedestrian travel. To
that end,the city plans for future expansion of its bicycle and pedestrian facility network and looks
for ways to make existing vehicle infrastructure more sustainable.
Current State (2012 Baseline),Accomplishments&Goals
The City of Tigard is committed to the protection and conservation of natural resources. City
efforts to achieve this goal have been through energy conservation in facilities and transportation
systems. Energy management is relevant to the City of Tigard because it owns and manages:
• Fight building facilities totaling approximately 100,000 square feet that collectively use
approximately 1,500,000 kWh of electricity.
• 148 fleet vehicles,which collectively use more than 90,000 gallons of petroleum each year.
• A network of approximately 24 traffic signals and 4,136 street lights.
• A transportation network of 314 miles of roadways and 90 miles of bicycle-friendly streets
and off-road trails.
The city has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through several measures to quantify
and improve efficiency and resource use. The city's efforts in energy management have provided
positive results,saving the city money and making efficient use of resources. The following is a list
of accomplishments so far:
✓ Established an organizational Employee Commute Incentive Program(ECIP),aimed at
reducing vehicle trips by employees to the worksite,contributing to a cleaner environment
and less congestion on the roads.
✓ Upgraded buildings for energy efficiency: inductive lighting upgrades,motion sensors and
timers,air-conditioning system improvements,building automation systems,and ENERGY
STAR compliant roofs.
✓ Converted 98 percent of traffic signals to energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs
and installed LED street lights along Burnham Street.
✓ Established a pavement management program (PMP) and implemented a street maintenance
fee(SMF) that enables staff to plan for and fund on-going pavement treatments that will
12 IPage
DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
prolong the life of pavements,thereby delaying complete failure of those pavements that
would require complete reconstruction.
✓ Installed 11 solar-powered school zone"Speed Limit 20 when flashing"beacons, 11 solar-
powered `Your Speed Is"driver feedback signs, six sets of solar-powered crosswalk beacons
(19 beacons total),and 43 flashing yellow traffic signal heads allowing drivers to turn left
when there is a gap in oncoming traffic.
✓ In partnership with Washington County and Oregon Department of Transportation
(ODOT),improved traffic flow through a highly congested section of Pacific Highway
(99W). This reduced vehicle idling emissions by hundreds of thousands of hours per year.
✓ Installed preventive maintenance crack sealing and slurry seals on 30 percent of total street
mileage in the past three years. This measure extends the life of the pavement.
✓ Used a warm-mix asphalt for all city pavement overlays in 2012. Warm-mix is heated to a
lower temperature and uses less energy than typical hot mix asphalt.
✓ Installed six electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
✓ Purchased 22 alternative-powered and/or high-efficiency vehicles (of the city's 148 vehicles).
2020 Goal: Reduce fossil fuel energy usage by 20 percent with energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and green power.
2020 Goal: Expand the city's inventory of pedestrian and bike facilities by 1 percent
annually until 2020.

II. Water Management & Quality
The Public Works Department has the primary responsibility to operate,maintain,repair and
expand Tigard's domestic water,wastewater and stormwater infrastructure while providing high-
quality,dependable service to its customers.
The Tigard Water Service Area, for domestic water consumption,is comprised of the cities of
Durham,King City,two-thirds of Tigard and unincorporated areas to the south and west of Tigard
(Tigard Water District). The service area has 18,200 service connections supplying approximately
58,000 residents,making it the tenth largest water utility in the State of Oregon. The city provides
safe and reliable drinking water that meets or exceeds all Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)
and State of Oregon standards for water quality.
The wastewater and stormwater conveyance systems are managed by the Sanitary Sewer and
Stormwater Divisions. These two divisions work in cooperation with each other to TV inspect,
clean and repair the sewer and stormwater conveyance systems within Tigard's boundaries. Both
programs are further managed at a regional level by Clean Water Services (CWS)—a county service
district organized under ORS 451—that has legal authority for the sanitary sewerage and
stormwater/surface water management within its boundaries. CWS serves as the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) permit and the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems
(MS4) permit holder with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the EPA.
Tigard,along with the other cities in CWS' jurisdiction,serve as permit implementers. Tigard
currently maintains and operates both systems in conformance with performance standards set by
CWS and the regulatory permits.
Current State (2012 Baseline),Accomplishments&Goals
The City of Tigard is committed to water management and quality,as it is responsible for:
• Operation and maintenance of over 248 miles of domestic drinking water pipeline,over 165
miles of sewer pipeline,and over 125 miles of stormwater pipeline. The stormwater system
also includes:
- Annual maintenance of over 3,000 sumped catch basins. These basins help remove
pollutants from stormwater before that water is discharged in local waterways.
- Street sweeping,which annually collects approximately 2,200 cubic yards of oil,
sediment and trash—debris that would otherwise be discharged in to local waterways.
• Operation and maintenance of irrigation systems at all city-owned facilities,including
building locations and public parks.
The city has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through several measures to quantify
and improve efficiency and resource use. The city's water management and quality efforts have
delivered positive results,saving the city money,meeting water quality standards and making
efficient use of resources.
✓ The city conducts an annual water audit to report on customer consumption,unaccounted-
for water,leak detection and number of customer accounts. The audits continue to show
that previous conservation efforts have succeeded in that metered water sales have
15 ' Page
DRAFT Tigard Sustainability Action Plan
continued to decline since 2008. Water sales for 2012 were the lowest since 1994. The five-
year average for unaccounted-for water ratio (UFWR) continues to be well below the
national recommendation of 10 percent. Tigard's per capita per day consumption is 110
gallons,well below most neighboring communities,based on the 2010 Water System Master
Plan.
✓ Lake Oswego Tigard Water Partnership (LOTWP) projects will increase system capacity to
deliver high-quality drinking water from the Clackamas River to the communities of Lake
Oswego and Tigard. Together these two communities can secure long-term access to clean,
safe water for less than it would cost them to do it alone.
✓ The city is also a member of the Clackamas River Water Providers (CRWP). This coalition
of water providers organizes funding and coordinates efforts regarding source water
protection,and public outreach and education around watershed issues,drinking water,and
water conservation.The coalition promotes sustainable use of the Clackamas River.
✓ The city has an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR)program. ASR allows the city to store
large quantities of water in an underground aquifer during the rainy season,when the
region's water supply is plentiful,and then use that water during periods of peak demand in
the summer.
✓ The city,in coordination with CWS,implemented a"fats,oils and grease" (FOG) abatement
program. With more than 200 participating restaurants,wastewater treatment and
maintenance demands have been reduced.
✓ The city has developed accurate inventory and mapping of all water-related system assets
and manages them in via computerized maintenance management system(CMMS) and its
geographic information system(GIS) mapping services. This ongoing effort improves
efficiency in customer response and preventive maintenance and repair.
✓ To moderate water use,the city uses evapotranspiration (El) electronic sensors and
centralized controls for irrigation systems at city parks. The system takes into account soil
and weather conditions to calculate the amount of water needed for specific plants.
✓ The city uses reclaimed water to irrigate sport fields at Cook Park.
As successful as the city has been with operation and maintenance of its existing water-related
pipeline systems,it and many cities in our nation face a growing concern of how to plan for the
ultimate replacement of those below-ground pipeline systems when they eventually reach their
respective ends of life. The east coast,in particular,has been challenged by this reality for many
years as water providers manage the nation's oldest pipeline infrastructure. Tigard can learn much
from the work done by other cities in the nation,and even in our own region. Failure of any of
these systems,combined with the lack of a comprehensive plan that enables cities to fund their
replacement,jeopardizes public health and our environment.
In order to properly plan for the life cycle costs of infrastructure,cities develop and implement asset
management plans. These plans help cities:
• Systematically track asset inventory.
• Routinely assess infrastructure condition.
• Predict risk of failure.
• Strategize as to the best practices of prolonging the life of assets.
• Make good decisions as to when the assets should be replaced.

III. Waste Reduction & Recycling
For decades,the importance of material conservation has been recognized as a means to make the
best use of scarce natural resources. In recent years,there has been an increased emphasis on
strategies like waste prevention,recycling and composting due to natural resources becoming less
available. The City of Tigard is subject to state law which mandates several recycling and waste
stream diversion strategies. Locally that program is managed via Metro in the form of the Regional
Solid Waste Management Plan (RSWMP). This plan governs both the collection and disposal of all
solid waste and recyclable products,including a new mandate to impose recycling on local
businesses. The RSWMP sets a goal of diverting 64 percent of the region's solid waste. In 2012,
Tigard area haulers reported achieving a 57-percent diversion.
Current State (2012 Baseline),Accomplishments &Goals
The City of Tigard is committed to the protection and conservation of natural resources,and waste
reduction and recycling is part of that commitment. The city owns a variety of facilities and parks in
which waste is generated during normal operation. The city continues to reduce waste generation
and maximize recycling.
The city has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through several measures to quantify
and improve efficiency and resource use. The city's waste reduction and recycling efforts have
yielded positive results,saving the city money and making efficient use resources. The following are
a few examples:
✓ Reduction and recycling practices have been implemented at all city facilities.
✓ Through annual leaf collection events, the city's efforts lead to the composting and/or
recycling of up to 800 yards of leaves per year.
✓ Electronic documents (instead of paper) are now widely used for construction project
bidding and documentation.
✓ Recycled asphalt products (RAP) are typically used as part of paving mixes.
✓ Administer the solid waste and recycling hauler franchises,along with rules and regulations.
✓ The city manages the business recycling program mandated by Metro.
2020 Goal: Actively participate in regional programs,strategies and initiatives developed
to direct the regional goal of diverting 64 percent of the annual waste stream
from the landfill.

IV. Land & Habitat Conservation Management
Parks and open spaces provide valuable recreational opportunities and ecological benefits within the
urban environment. The city's parks are praised for their excellent upkeep and provide open lawn
area,playground equipment,and trails for exercise and enjoyment.
Open spaces,including natural stream corridors and greenways,provide habitat for wildlife,shade
for streams,and some recreational benefits where trails are permitted and/or constructible given the
particular topography of the area. Tigard,in partnership with Clean Water Services (CWS),manages
the Healthy Streams Program(HSP). One component of the program has citizen volunteers plant
native shrubs and trees along stream corridors. Under the HSP,the city replaces outdated or
undersized culverts with modern,appropriately-sized, fish-friendly culverts. Stormwater outfalls are
also retrofitted by adding stormwater treatment improvements.
Stream corridors,and ultimately the Tualatin River,are further protected via land use regulations
that require the treatment of surface water runoff. Constructed treatment facilities such as
bioswales,rain gardens, treatment ponds,and other stormwater filtration systems are designed to
treat and manage stormwater runoff before being discharged into the natural stream corridors.
Vegetated facilities,such as bioswales and ponds also provide wildlife habitat. Land use regulations
also require the planting of street trees and parking lot shade trees that,upon maturity,provide
additional shade canopy to reduce the heat generated on paved surfaces.
Current State (2012 Baseline),Accomplishments &Goals
The City of Tigard is committed to preserving the natural environment for the enjoyment of its
citizens and health of wildlife. Land and habitat conservation management is relevant to the city as
follows:
• The city manages more than 450 acres of park land for recreation and ecological functions.
• Tigard manages its stormwater system in partnership with CWS under an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) mentioned in the Water Management&Quality section of this plan. As a
part of managing the stormwater program,Tigard maintains over 3,000 sumped catch basins
that help remove pollutants from stormwater before that water is discharged in local
waterways. In addition,the city's street sweeping program collects approximately 2,200
cubic yards of oil,sediment and trash—debris that would otherwise be discharged in to local
waterways.
The city has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through several measures to enhance
land and habitat conservation management. Efforts thus far include:
✓ In 2010,Tigard voters passed a$17 million general obligation bond to fund the purchase of
real property for park land and to fund a limited amount of park improvements. Tigard staff
has managed the bond proceeds which,to date,have resulted in the purchase of over 108
acres of new park and open space land.
✓ Tigard promotes and incorporates sustainable practices and design features for the master
planning and development of all park facilities.
20 ' Page
DRAFT Tigard Sustainabiliry Action Plan
✓ Tigard park crews use mulching mowers. The mowers chop the grass in to fine clippings.
Those clippings release nutrients back to the soil and reduce evaporation on lawns and
sports fields. The use of mulching mowers eliminates the cost of disposing of clippings;it
diverts 100 percent of the green waste from composting facilities.
✓ The city utilizes green street technology on all streets and pedestrian ways in the Downtown
Urban Renewal District,including the Main Street Green Street,Burnham Street and WES
station projects. Green street features include stormwater treatment planters,LED street
lights,landscaping and other pedestrian amenities.
✓ The city supports the use of"low-impact development approaches",or LIDA,to
stormwater treatment. LIDA techniques,including rain gardens and pervious pavement
were used when the library was constructed.
✓ Under the HSP,city efforts since 2005 have resulted in the restoration of over 165 acres of
riparian forest, the planting of roughly 98,000 native trees and shrubs,the replacement of
four problem culverts,and the retrofitting of three untreated outfalls.
While the city has been successful in acquiring land for developed park and open space needs,the
challenge comes in funding the ongoing operation and maintenance of the park land. While acreage
of parks and open spaces has increased,the resources within the park maintenance division of public
works has not. It is recommended that the city engage in efforts that will provide a sustainable
funding methodology to balance growth of park land with available maintenance resources.
As regulatory requirements related to stream corridors and other natural environments continue to
change,and likely become more restrictive,the city should also continue to work with agencies such
as CWS to ensure that a sustainable balance can be reached between regulations and enjoyment of
these areas by the city's residents. In addition,the city will continue its efforts to acquire additional
park and open space areas to achieve the level of service(LOS) ratios recommended in the 2009
Park System Master Plan.
2020 Goal: Develop a sustainable funding methodology to ensure long-term maintenance
of park and open space areas.
2020 Goal: Meet or exceed level of service ratios for parks and open spaces as
recommended in the current version of the Park System Master Plan.

APPENDIX I:
List of Related Local and Regional Sustainability Plans and Initiatives
• Tigard's 2027 Comprehensive Plan—In 2007,Tigard completed its most recent
comprehensive plan,a 20-year vision for the city.The plan addresses a diverse set of 14
goals as defined by the Oregon Land Use Planning Program.Although the plan addresses
many issues related directly to sustainability—citizen involvement,land use planning,
agricultural lands, forest lands,natural resources,environmental quality,recreation,etc.-
sustainability is not a focus nor integral principle the plan.
• Washington County's Sustainability Plan–In 2009,the Washington County Board of
County Commissioners formalized its commitment to sustainability through a Resolution
and Order.The county completed its first bi-annual Internal Sustainability Work Plan 2009-
2011,with eight focus areas: administration,education and outreach;procurement;energy
efficiency; fleet operations and employee commuting;recycling and waste reduction;green
building and development;agriculture,landscaping and water;and remote access to county
services.
In 2011,Washington County used 2008 data to complete its first inventory greenhouse gas
emissions associated with operations. Key findings indicated emissions could be attributed to
three general categories as follows: 14 percent transportation(fleet,business travel and
employee commute),26 percent energy (natural gas,electricity,refrigerants and diesel for
generators),and 60 percent supply chain (purchased goods and services).
For its 2012-2013,the county broadened its sustainability efforts to also include community
objectives focused around: transit-supported development,auto use reduction,preservation
of rural farm and forest land;protection of waterways;and community waste
reduction/recycling.
The county should be considered an ally and a resource,as its sustainability plan and actions
overlay and align with many of those the city is considering and undertaking.
• Partners for a Sustainable Washington County Community(PSWCC)–In recognition
of the need to coordinate sustainability efforts throughout the county,in 2008 several
Washington County agencies established PSWCCE. Now functioning as a membership
organization, the group includes: the county,the cities of Banks,Beaverton,Cornelius,and
Hillsboro,as well as Clean Water Services,Portland Community College Rock Creek,
Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District,Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue and Tualatin
Valley Water District. PSWCC focuses on sustainability training,community outreach and
collaborative projects.
The PSWCC should be considered an ally and a resource for Tigard.Specifically,other
participating cities may provide a successful model for Tigard.

• Metro's Sustainability Plan for Metro Internal and Business Operations,August 2010
—Metro,the greater Portland area's tri-county,regional government developed a
sustainability plan to address its internal and business operations.This plan includes an in-
depth sustainability impacts and baseline analysis,along with strategies and actions with 3-,
5-, 10-and 15-year goals for greenhouse gas emissions and reductions,toxics reductions,
waste reduction and recycling,water conservation and habitat and stormwater.
Similar to Washington County and PSWCC, Metro should be considered a partner and
resource.

Other Potential Focus Areas:
• Community Health&Well-Being
NO I E: the city's consultant suggested this as a focus area and Public Works considered it but determined
that it falls outside of its departmental expertise. Some background and accomplishments are listed below for
other departments to consider.
The City of Tigard is committed to efforts that lead to a healthy community and
environment for its citizens. It is relevant to the city as follows:
• Tigard supports the annual Tigard Festival of Balloons through in-kind services.
• Tigard staff support the annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony on Main Street
through in-kind services.
• Tigard staff work with a Park and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB)who serve as
an advisory board to the council related to park and recreation needs.
The city has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through several efforts aimed at
fostering a healthy community and environment. Efforts thus far include:
✓ Installed 98"countdown"pedestrian signals to help pedestrians safely cross busy streets
and encourage walking trips.
✓ Developed a Tigard Bike Map and a Downtown Walking Map to help people find good
routes to walk and ride in Tigard.
✓ Developed a community garden program,which has teamed local residents with the city
to turn barren strips of right of way or otherwise unused public land into fruitful
gardens.
✓ Host drug take-back events and operates a pharmaceutical drop box where people can
safely dispose on expired or unwanted medications. Proper disposal keeps drugs out of
the reach of children and discourages people from dumping medications down the drain.
Because wastewater treatment facilities are not designed to filter out medications,drugs
that are dumped down the drain can eventually end up in local waterways.
✓ Developed the Recreation Resource Guide,an online inventory of local recreation
offerings in the Tigard area.
• Education and Outreach
• Procurement—Purchasing and Contracting
• Employee Safety and Health

Because of Walmart"s business practices of not letting the money earned daily stay in the local area and
because of the company's willingness to let employees live on poverty wages,I have not shopped at Walmart
for years and will not start now.

As an SEIU member I will not set foot in a walmart much less spend my money there. For having such a huge

Walmart has a well established track record of keeping prices low until competitors fail. Then, prices rise to
make up for the losses.This practice, and their hostility toward unions,encourages me to support this pledge.

only to stop Walmart is to not buy from them. I whole heartedly support an anti-Walmart campaign.

I pledge to support the existing businesses that already provide all of this community's needs. And they do so
while paying fair wages &benefits to their workers! This massive development was unnecessary- it will
further congest traffic and bring-down the overall local economy.Wallyworlds 8-miles-apart is too much! The
Sherwood+Tigard superstores+all the smaller ones around the area constitute a monopoly,which is a
violation of State&Federal anti-trust laws. Inform yourselves,and let your voices be heard!

ISSUE
Should the Tigard City Council approve an ordinance to adopt a 10-year, non-exclusive utility
franchise, with tw telecom of oregon llc ("tw telecom") to operate a telecommunication
system in Tigard?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance and utility franchise agreement. This
includes amending the franchise fee to the greater of(a) the five percent of gross revenues set
forth in TMC 15.06.100 or (b) a minimum annual fee of ten thousand dollars.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
tw telecom first entered into a franchise agreement with the City of Tigard in 2002 as "Time
Warner Telecom of Oregon". That franchise agreement expired in September 2012. tw
telecom has requested an updated franchise agreement with the City and has been negotiating
terms with staff and legal counsel since 2012. tw telecom has continued to comply with the
terms of the expired franchise during the renewal process.
The proposed ordinance grants a non-exclusive telecommunications franchise, and includes
some minor modifications to the City's standard franchise which include:
•Clarification that mutual consent of the parties is required to in writing to amend the
agreement.
•Parties can negotiate a new agreement if any term of this franchise agreement is held to
be "unenforceable".
•Both parties, not just the City, maintain the right to exercise all remedies available under
law in the event of a breach.
•Confirmation that the agreement is subject to Oregon law.
The major policy question in this agreement is whether to adjust the Tigard Municipal Code
(TMC 15.06.100 A) requirement for the franchise fee to be the greater of five percent of the
utility's revenue earned within the city or $2.90 per linear foot of facilities in the rights-of-way.
The intent of the 2008 Tigard Council amendment to the fee was to address the possibility
that a company could own facilities in the rights-of-way that don't serve any Tigard customers.
A company would not generate any revenue in the city and thus would pay no franchise fee
even though the utility company would benefit from the public rights-of-way and likely
generate costs to the city in additional street maintenance, repair and replacement.
tw telecom advises they have Tigard customers and if they were required to pay the greater of
the current two fee options their annual fee would be over 21% higher than their current
revenue in the city. In keeping with the Council's intent in the 2008 code amendment, the
attached agreement includes amending the franchise fee to be the greater of(a) the five
percent of gross revenues set forth in TMC 15.06.100 or (b) or a minimum annual fee of ten
thousand dollars.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve the telecommunications franchise agreement. If Council does not approve
the attached agreement, tw telecom's utility will be governed by the City's Franchised Utility
Ordinance (TMC 15.06) and further staff direction on the negotiations of the franchise
agreement would be needed.

Shall council consider a resolution that will authorize appropriations in the amount of
$1,207,000 from Water SDC Fund. The money will be used to fund the intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) with Washington County to extend water services to River Terrace.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends approval of the additional appropriations.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The FY 2014 adopted budget includes the capital project of 96035-Barrows/Scholls Ferry
Water Lines. On May 14, 2013, Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA)
with Washington County that authorizes a collaboration between the cities of Tigard and
Beaverton along with Washington County to extend water services to River Terrace. The
water portion of project will construct an 18-inch water line from existing water lines on
Barrows Road to the intersection of Scholls Ferry Road and Roy Rogers Road. The timing of
this project is such that approval of the IGA occurred before the city had identified all of the
funding sources. However it was deemed prudent to move forward with the IGA since it
would cost the city more money to install the water line later, after Washington County had
expanded and re-paved Scholls Ferry Road. In addition, collaborating with the City of
Beaverton is saving the City of Tigard money on engineering and contract services.
The total cost of the project will be $1,398,500,with $1,027,000 occuring during the current
FY 2014. Costs in the adopted budget total $400,000 with the money coming from the Water
CIP fund. The work needs to be funded from Water SDC, not Water CIP which has the
Water Bond proceeds for the LO/Tigard Water Partnership project. This action will remove
the use of$400,000 of Water Bond proceeds in the Water CIP Fund and transfer the needed
$1,027,000 from the Water SDC Fund to the Water CIP to pay for the project design and
engineering, and construction costs of the water lines. Because construction of water lines
adds capacity to the existing system, it was determined that the most appropriate funding
source would be Water SDC funds.
If approved, the total additional appropriations will be $1,027,000 for FY 2014. Overall total
project costs for extending the water lines will be $1,398,500,with $1,027,000 in fiscal year
2013-2014, and the remaining $371,500 to be appropriated in fiscal year 2014-2015 as part of
the annual budget process. The funding source for the $1,027,000 in FY 2014 is actual
beginning fund balance in excess of budgeted beginning fund balance in the Water SDC
Fund.

Do not approve funding of the IGA with Washington County.

Paving Report For 2013 ■
This report outlines the paving and pavement preservation work completed in T I G A R D
2012 and 2013 and lists the actual,anticipated,and budgeted expenses for fiscal
years `12-13,`13-14.
The Tigard Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of 152 miles of paved
streets. The maintenance strategy for each street varies depending on the adjoining land use,age,
average daily volume,heavy vehicle traffic,and character of that street.
Accomplishments for 2012 and 2013
Pavement projects completed in 2012 and 2013 are summarized in the following table and are
shown on the attached maps (Attachments A and B).

In addition to the recently completed citywide pavement overlay project,the Street Maintenance Fee
will also fund a pavement overlay of 92"d Avenue (from Waverley Dr to Cook Park) in conjunction
with a sidewalk project being constructed in fall 2013,and an overlay of a small portion of Barrows
Road in coordination with the City of Beaverton.
The remaining funds each year are spent sealing cracks in street pavement,and on pavement
inspections and inventory (the source of the Pavement Condition Index or PCI).
The Pavement Condition Index(PCI)
Pavement condition is measured by the PCI,with zero being the poorest condition(total pavement
failure) and 100 being the best condition(just constructed pavement).PCI factors include pavement
condition,cracking,pavement distress,weathering,structural strength,and smoothness of ride.
Tigard Street Network Condition
2012 and 2013 have seen the average PCI of Tigard's city streets increased from 68.9 at the end of
2011 to 69.3 at the end of 2012 to and 70.0 at the end of 2013. This was better than our projected
PCI of 68.7 at the end of 2012 and `holding the line'to keep the 68.7 PCI at the end of 2013. Two
factors were significant contributors this improvement:
Fall 2013 Paving Report Page 1
1. Successful completion of large slurry seal projects in southern Tigard in 2012 and central
Tigard in 2013. The 2012 slurry seal project was the largest in Tigard's history.
2. City street crews completed many `digout'repairs of small areas of failed pavement around
valve boxes and in the wheel paths etc. This was coordinated with the work of the private
contractor to slurry seal some streets that would otherwise have been in too poor condition
to do so effectively.
Previous Council Action and the Street Maintenance Fee
Pavement maintenance is primarily funded through the City's Street Maintenance Fee,a monthly
user fee dedicated to the maintenance of existing roadways in Tigard.The fee was recommended by
a citizen task force and established by Ordinance No. 03-10 in November 2003.
Council revisited the Street Maintenance Fee in 2009 and 2010. Recognizing funding constraints
and the difficulties of raising revenue in a recession,Council adopted Resolution No. 10-01 which:
1. Established a long-term Pavement Condition Index(PCI) goal of 72 to 75. Based on cost
estimates, the Council quickly recognized that the level of adopted funding would not be
adequate to get to a PCI of 75 and set an interim goal to"hold the line" by maintaining an
average PCI of at least 67.Beyond this point, streets require more extensive reconstruction
prior to paving,which results in substantially higher street maintenance costs.
2. The ordinance also directs that the fee be adjusted for inflation. Fee amounts are adjusted
based on the methodology originally adopted in Ordinance 10-01,updated in Ordinance 13-
06 to a composite of 85%of the Engineering News Record(ENR) Construction Cost Index
for Seattle,which measures general construction and labor cost,and 15%of the Oregon
Monthly Asphalt Cement Material Price,which measures asphalt prices and parallels fuel
prices. These percentages approximate the percentage cost of a typical project that matches
the labor or material price measured by the index. This inflation adjustment will increase the
fee by 4.9% on January 1,2014.
Current street maintenance fees,as they appear in the City's 2013-2014 Master Fees and Charges
Schedule,are as follows:
Effective Dates 2012 2013 2014
Residential (Per House or Unit) $5.45 $5.56 $5.83
Commercial and Industrial
(Per Required Parking Space) $1.23 $1.25 $1.31
Note that the fee for commercial and industrial properties is calculated based on the number of
parking spaces that would be required by TMC 18.765 if that building were constructed today (as an
approximation of the traffic generation of the site),which is often different from the number of
spaces in the existing parking lot.
Fall 2013 Paving Report Page 2
Recent Paving History
Attachment C is a map showing the paving projects that have been completed in the past five years,
which illustrates that more than half of Tigard's City Street network have been paved or slurry sealed
(pavement overlays on 16 miles of streets,and slurry seals on 64 miles of streets).
In order to maintain the overall street network in the best possible overall condition, street
maintenance work has focused on three main priorities:
1. Pavement overlays on major corridors. Approximately$2.24 million (including staff costs) is
being spent in fiscal years 12-13 and 13-14 constructing pavement overlays on 7 miles of
important through routes.
2. Crack seals and slurry seals on residential streets. Approximately$1 million has been spent
in fiscal years 12-13 and 13-14 placing slurry seals on 30 miles of residential streets. All of
the Tigard City Streets that are good candidates for slurry seal projects have been slurry
sealed.
3. Crack sealing along arterials and collector streets.Approximately$90,000 is spent in the
spring each year sealing cracks along major streets to preserve the existing pavement.
These priorities are reflected in the following Graph:

The PCI at the end of the 2013 paving season is 70.0,which is better than the forecast of 67.1.
Paving Backlog
There are many local streets (both residential and commercial) in Tigard on which the pavement
condition has deteriorated beyond the level at which most preventive maintenance treatments can be
effective. These streets need more extensive repairs such as pavement overlay and rehabilitation. In
pavement management terms,these are called`backlog' streets. The table below shows how this

There are approximately 21 miles of these `backlog' streets on the Tigard city street system that need
paving. This is approximately 14% of our total street mileage. The cost to pave these streets would
be approximately$10 million.
The graph below shows the current backlog of streets in poor pavement condition,and the
additional miles that would be in poor condition if the last five years of paving had not been
completed.

It is anticipated that the amount of this backlog will remain at about this level now that Street
Maintenance Fee revenue is fully phased in,assuming that revenues and asphalt prices remain
relatively consistent. Additional funding would be necessary to restore these streets to good
pavement condition.
Finance Director's Findings
The Finance Director has reviewed this report and future pavement maintenance funding
requirements as identified in the Pavement Management Program(PMP). Data has not changed
significantly from what the Council considered after the 2009 paving season.
Actual revenue collections for fiscal year 2012 and 2013 were analyzed and they were sufficient to
meet the annual funding level set from the street maintenance plan along with the FY 2011-2012
and FY 2012-2013 Adopted Budgets. Completion of the street maintenance fee phase-in,along
with an inflationary adjustment(s),is expected to generate sufficient revenue to fund the PMP in the
coming years.The 2014-2018 CIP PMP approved budget is as follows:
Fiscal Year 2016
PMP $1,660,000 1,800,000 1,800,000 1,800,000 1,800,000
Additionally,the split between customer types was analyzed to determine if costs were equitably split
when compared to revenues collected. The allocation of the costs of the five-year plan is set in
TMC 15.20.050 and is summarized as follows:
Road Type Percentage of Residential Percentage of Non-
Residential Allocation
Arterial 62% 38°/o
Local Commercial/Industrial 0% 100%
Collector 50% 50%
Neighborhood/Local 100% 0%
It is important to realize the fee is based on a five-year plan and that there will be variance from one
year to the next where one customer group may subsidize another in any given year;the important
thing is that the program costs reflect the revenues collected by customer type over the five-year
period. If they do not,the TMC instructs the Finance Director to make recommendations based on
this review.The following tables summarize my findings:

Tigard incurred$1,006,176 in FY 2011-12 in the PMP expenses related to the street maintenance
fee. Based on the types of roads, (arterial,collector,etc.),that received pavement maintenance
through the PMP,$623,829 (62 percent) of the PMP expenses should have been born by residential
customers and$382,347 (38 percent) of the PMP expenses should have been born by non-
residential customers.
The actual revenues collected in FY 2012 have a slightly different split. Sixty-five percent of the
revenues came from the residential sector and 35 percent of the revenues came from the non-
residential sector. Based on the size of the PMP and the way revenues were collected,a more
equitable split would have been for$623,829 to come from the residential sector and for$382,347 to
come from the non-residential sector. During the last year,the residential sector subsidized the non-
residential sector by$30,185,or three percent of the total PMP.
The actual revenues collected in FY 2013 reversed the trend of residential customers subsidizing
non-residential. Sixty-seven percent of the revenues came from the residential sector and 33 percent
of the revenues came from the non-residential sector. Based on the size of the PMP and the way
revenues were collected,a more equitable split would have been for$1,025,737 to come from the
residential sector and for$628,677 to come from the non-residential sector. During the last year,
the non-residential sector subsidized the residential sector by$82,720,or five percent of the total
PMP. When the reports for FY 2010 and FY 2011 are taken into account to provide a four year
picture,non-residential customers have subsidized residential customers by 4%. The Finance
Director does not find this difference to be material enough to necessitate a recalculation.. In the
long term,engineering staff estimates that the actual paving expenses will be consistent with the
residential/non-residential revenue split.

ROW Maintenance Update
October 1,2013
Background
On January 5, 2010, Council adopted Ordinance No. 10-01,which amended the previous Street
Maintenance Fee ordinance, and now includes a provision for right-of-way (ROW) maintenance on
the city's arterial and collector streets. The ordinance now specifically covers such things as,
"...maintenance and enhancement of planting strips, medians and areas between sidewalks and
property lines on these streets to prevent the uncontrolled growth of weeds and other undesirable
vegetation in these areas. It does not include repair or replacement of existing sidewalks." The
primary focus of the program is to address streets where there are double-frontage lots (where
houses back up to the collector or arterial). It is these situations where the ROW tends to be
neglected.
The Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) was increased as a result of this ordinance and the final adopted
revenue level was $100,000 per year.
Targeted Streets
For a refresher, staff initially worked to develop an overall list of candidate streets that could receive
attention under this program. We focused most of the effort on the streets with double-frontage
lots and specifically looked for segments of ROW that are currently in poor condition and may need
some level of improvement to bring them up to a "look" that better matches the segments that are
in good condition. Below is a list of streets,prioritized by their need for improvement. Some
streets near the bottom of the priority list are only in need of on-going maintenance.
Priority Street General Description
1 Durham Road Between 79'x' Avenue and 108'x'Avenue
2 Gaarde Street Between 121St Avenue and Walnut Street
3 Greenburg Road Median island north of Washington Square Road
4 Walnut Street Between Pacific Highway and 135th Avenue
5 135th Avenue Between Scholls Ferry Road to Walnut
6 121St Avenue Between Springwood Lane and Gaarde Street
7 Bonita Road Between Hall and railroad ROW
8 72nd Avenue Between Pacific Highway and Varns Street
9 Dartmouth Street Between 68th Parkway and Pacific Highway
1O Tiedeman Avenue Between Fowler Middle School and the railroad ROW
1 1 Hunziker Street Between 72nd Avenue and Wall Street
12 68th Parkway South of Pacific Highway
13 Cascade Avenue Between Greenburg Road and Scholls Ferry Road
14 Burnham Street Center medians,planters and tree wells
14 Main Street Medians and planters between Scoffins and Pacific
Highway
15 Haines Street Between 68th Parkway and I-5
Fiscal Year 2012 Accomplishments
In FY 2012,the program successfully completed improvement work on the following streets:
• Durham Road
• Gaarde
• Greenburg Island near Locust
Improvements on any given road can vary, depending upon the initial condition,width of space
available, and presence of other trees or shrubs. Public Works staff reviews the list of streets
each year and will determine what level of improvement is warranted.
On-going maintenance of ROW segments includes weeding,pruning and eventual barkdust
replacement.
Fiscal Year 2013 Accomplishments
In FY 2013,the following streets were addressed with improvements:
• 135th
• Durham
• Datrmouth
• Bonita at Hall
Fiscal Year 2014 Plan
Staff recently advertised for the improvement and maintenance plan for Fiscal Year 2014. The
list of streets proposed for improvement :
• Barrows Road
• Gaarde
• Walnut
Future of the ROW Maintenance Program
As this program rolls into a routine maintenance pattern on the list of streets above, staff
believes that the current level of funding can support the annual maintenance costs of those
streets. However, staff would like to discuss with council the issue of Pacific Highway and
council's previous direction to see additional trees and landscape installed to provide a more
aesthetically pleasing experience for motorists. Examples of this type of work can be found
along the southbound lanes beginning at Canterbury Lane and extending to approximately Beef
Bend Road. Staff worked with ODOT to ensure that additional trees and shrubs were installed.
Another example is the pending Walmart improvements,where a median will be installed north
of the Highway 217 interchange. ODOT's typical standard is to not install trees or landscape in
their center medians, but Tigard requested that the median be landscaped. ODOT will require
the city to maintain the landscape in that median or any future road improvement on the
highway if Tigard requests the additional trees or landscape. Funding for that maintenance
work has not been permanently identified, and staff recommends the council consider a policy
question as to whether or not they would like city street and/or ROW maintenance resources to
be used to fund landscape work on an ODOT facility.
If council chooses to use city resources to fund landscape maintenance in ODOT ROW, the
following are options council could consider:
1. Use Existing Resources:
a. Cut into our Street Division operational budget to cover the cost. The impact
would result in less resources being available for routine street maintenance work
on city streets, such as pothole repairs, larger digout repairs, street sign work,
striping maintenance, etc.
b. Increase the ROW Maintenance component of the Street Maintenance Fee to
accommodate this additional workload. The impact would reduce the portion of
the SMF that would go toward slurry seals and overlays.
2. Add Additional Resources:
a. Council could choose to increase the amount of the Street Maintenance Fee
overall to ensure that enough revenue would be generated to accommodate the
additional workload.
