NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK BOUNDARY CHANGE
In September 2008, the Committee voted to move the 18 member community represented by the Blue
Heron Homeowners Association from Neighborhood Network Area 10 to Area 11. Staff is suggesting an
addition boundary change to make the borders of Area 10 and Area 11 near the Blue Heron Homeowners
Association more logical. City staff sent letters (Attachment 2) to residents affected by this boundary change
asking for their input. City staff received no response as a result of the letters.
Included with each letter were two maps that are included in your packet as well. The first map (Attachment
3) shows the current Neighborhood Network Boundaries after approval of the Blue Heron Homeowners
switch from Area 10 to Area 11. The second map (Attachment 4) shows the changes proposed by staff.

CCI MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2008—Page 1
I:\LRPLN\MARISSA\CCI\2008\11-08\11-19-08 MEETING MINUTES CCI.DOCX

minutes as presented. The motion carried as follows:
AYES: Christopher, Caffall, Islas, Froude,Jelinek,Boyce,Adriano
NAYS: None
ABSTENTIONS: None
EXCUSED: Carver,Anda
5. PERIODIC REVIEW EVALUATION
Darren Wyss introduced this item. He began by reviewing the Periodic Review Process.
Periodic Review is a state mandated process to ensure city plans, codes, and standards remain
up to date. In May, the state Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD)
notified the City of Tigard that it was time to enter into periodic review.
The first step of the process is for Cities to evaluate their Comprehensive Plan and
implementing documents to ensure that they are meeting state rules and guidelines. Periodic
Review focuses on five areas: economic development, housing,public facilities and services,
transportation, and urbanization. There are three main requirements for the City as it undergoes
periodic review. The first of those is citizen involvement. The second is to determine a work
plan. The third is to coordinate with the state-assigned periodic review assistance team.
Tigard is in a unique situation,in that we have just finished an update to our entire
Comprehensive Plan. Darren has identified three objectives for the City during the periodic
review process:
a. Complete an economic opportunities analysis;
b. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan (the City already received a grant for this
project which will begin in January); and
c. Update the Tigard Public Facility Plan (1991).
Committee members asked what would be included in the Public Facility Plan,Darren
responded that this document will mainly cover "pipes and pavement."
Darren explained that this CCI meeting is the first of three opportunities for citizens to provide
input on the Periodic Review Work Evaluation which was included in the November meeting
packet.
Since there were no citizens present to give input or ask questions about periodic review,Myrna
asked Darren how the meeting and opportunity for comment had been advertised. Darren and
Marissa stated that the meeting had been advertised online and in the Tigard Times. Also, a
message was sent to the Comprehensive Plan listserv, all Comprehensive Plan Policy Interest
Team members, the Community Connectors, and the Neighborhood network website
administrators for posting on the neighborhood websites.
CCI MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2008—Page 2
I:\LRPLN\MARISSA\CCI\2008\11-08\11-19-08 MEETING MINUTES CCI.DOCX
Myrna asked if people usually come to these types of opportunities. Darren spoke from his
experience with the Comprehensive Plan saying attendance is usually topic specific. For
example the Parks, Recreation,Trails and Open Space meetings drew a lot more people than
chapters such as Land Use.
Rex,who also serves on the Planning Commission, felt that people show up for things which
are occurring in their backyards.
Bev clarified that because the City recently updated their Comprehensive Plan, this time around
periodic review has a different flavor. People already know what the real issues are, such as
trees for example. Compared to the last time the City underwent periodic review, this time is
pretty uneventful. Darren said yes, the heavy lifting has already been done prior to entering
periodic review.
Councilor Elect,Marland Henderson, asked what happens next. Darren said that, after the
approval of City Council,we will start working on the work program. Marland asked, and
Darren affirmed, that DLCD will be involved all along.
Bev asked how often cities are required to undergo periodic review. Darren replied, every seven
years,but the City has not undergone Periodic Review since 1989 because of staffing issues at
DLCD.
Marland asked if this was about the time the City completed the Washington Square Plan.
Darren replied that the WA Sq. Plan was adopted in the late 1990's. He then asked who is
responsible for Washington Square. Darren responded that the Washington Square Regional
Center is part of both Tigard and Beaverton. Each jurisdiction changed their zoning within the
Center to comply with Metro 2040.
Basil suggested that most people will not take the time to learn about projects like this. He
asked that the project be explained more in layman's terms. For example,what does periodic
review mean to a homeowner/ renter/ business owner? People may get lost in trying to figure
everything out.
Marissa reported that there are not that many people, although there are some,who are
interested in reviewing our codes. Staff is planning more targeted outreach later as we talk
about specific issues which the average resident or business owner can relate to, for example,
transportation, housing, and economic opportunities in Tigard.
Basil spoke about his experience at the Lake Oswego-Tigard water partnership open house.
This project will mean major construction,including a large pipe under Highway 43. He feels,
people don't realize everything that goes along with the water partnership. Any topics citizens
may review will have an impact on the community.
Basil thanked Darren for attending the meeting.

6. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS: OPEN HOUSE AND WEBSITES
Liz was pleased to report someone had volunteered to manage the neighborhood website for
Area 2, the last area to find a web manager. She wants to start really marketing the websites,
now that all of the neighborhoods will have active websites.
Liz is planning to make the neighborhood websites a "hot topic" on the front of the City's
webpage. The hot topic link will take citizens to a survey that asks, "What improvements
would you like to see in your neighborhood?"Liz asked the Committee for their opinion on
the question.
For outreach, Liz is talking to the schools about sending postcards about the Neighborhood
Program home with Tigard elementary school students.
Liz would like to encourage City Council to use the Neighborhood websites to get informal
feedback from citizens. For example, on an issue like basketball hoops in the right of way,
Council could pose a question on the neighborhood websites to determine if this is a large or
isolated issue.
Liz introduced Joanne Bengtson,Executive Assistant to the City Manager&Mayor,who will
be helping Liz to plan the Neighborhood Networks open house in February.
On the subject of the survey question,Myrna thought Liz's suggestion was a great idea.
Marland asked if the survey would be area specific. Liz explained that website administrators
can choose whether or not to post specific content. She is assuming people will visit their own
neighborhood webpage; however, they can visit any active neighborhood webpage.
Bev asked if the question would be posted on all of the neighborhood sites. Liz said no, the
question would be available on the City's front page under hot topics. Marland asked, for
example,if someone suggested a parade in Tigard,will all of the responses go to the same
place? Liz responded yes. If someone were to suggest the addition of a crosswalk in front of
Fowler Middle School,Liz can follow up with that neighborhood. Basil suggested this follow
up could include an additional survey, for example, "do you feel safe walking in front of Fowler
Middle School?"Liz thought the next step could be a meeting with neighborhood
representatives to talk about what the next steps could be.
Liz asked if the survey idea and question sounded like a plan. The Committee agreed yes.
Basil suggested a future question could center on Commuter Rail. Liz suggested, for example,
when Council is looking at light rail on Highway 99W, they can pose a question to residents via
the neighborhood websites and then address any concerns that come up at an open house on
the topic.
CCI MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2008—Page 4
I:\LRPLN\MARISSA\CCI\2008\11-08\11-19-08 MEETING MINUTES CCI.DOCX
Marland asked about the blogging capabilities of the neighborhood websites. Liz explained that
there are two different parts to each neighborhood site- the information portion and the
comment section. He then asked if the comments were screened, and Liz replied yes. However,
they are not going to shut sites down unless comments become inappropriate (i.e. attacking
others).
Gary asked if the comments are anonymous and become inappropriate, can the City turn that
feature off Joanne,who works with the City Manager and Mayor, responded yes. For her, the
frustration with anonymous comments is that she can't send information back to the person.
Often, the people who are upset are misinformed.
Rex suggested people be required to submit their full name and whether or not they are a
Tigard resident in order to post comments. Bev feels the websites are relative to people living
outside of Tigard as well. Liz clarified that what Rex is looking for is something like, "Larry,
Tigard resident," attached to each post. Gary suggested people be required to state their last
names as well.
Joanne pointed out that the Tigard Times website and OregonLive, the Oregonian's website,
won't allow you to post a comment unless you provide your name and email address.
Liz asked the Committee if this is what they want, as they are the Neighborhood Network
advisory committee. So far, the comments she reported have been nice and sunny.
Basil,who himself does not blog, does not think he needs to know the identity of each person
making comments. Liz asked the committee if the City should try to monitor and see if there is
a need for identification. Again, so far there have not been any issues. Basil asked her to
research what other cities are doing.
Gary asked if currently he would need to log in in order to leave a comment on his
neighborhood webpage. The answer is yes. He then asked if any newsletters were sent out and
Liz replied no, however citizens can sign up for an RSS feed.Joanne added that the City does
send out the Community Connectors email, but that this comes from the City, not the
neighborhoods. Gary clarified that it is his neighborhood website administrator who is posting
the information on their website.Joanne responded that she feeds the neighborhood website
administrators all types of content, and then it is up to them what to post.
Basil took a quick pulse of the committee. He asked the committee whether they thought
people needed to identify themselves, or if anonymous comments were okay. They responded:
• Let's try it with anonymous comments and see how it works. (Gary)
• If it gets out of hand,let's discuss the issue again. If not,we should let it ride. (Rex)
• Let's leave it how it is to start out. (Basil)
• Let's try it and see. (Myrna)
• Let's leave it simple, and see. (Bev)
• It is better to keep the comments anonymous. (Anastasia)
CCI MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2008—Page 5
I:\LRPLN\MARISSA\CCI\2008\11-08\11-19-08 MEETING MINUTES CCI.DOCX
• Leave it anonymous with the option for people to leave their contact information if they
would like to receive a response. (Alma)
Myrna added that she always puts her name when leaving a comment, but some are not like
her. She noticed on the CNN website that many people will only give their first name. She
asked Liz if they were going to encourage citizens to ask questions, and she replied yes.
Shifting gears,Liz said that Saturday, February 7, 2009 has been chosen as the date for the 2nd
Annual Neighborhood Network Open House. Liz chose this date to avoid any inclement
weather that may happen earlier in the year. Last year at the open house 177 packets were
passed out to City residents.
Liz and Joanne have been brainstorming ideas for the open house. The following is a list of the
ideas they summarized for the Committee:
• Continue to have a map with pins for residents to identify their neighborhood
• Create a station for residents to propose boundary adjustments
• Set up 13 Computers so that every neighborhood website is accessible
• Focus on encouraging residents to join their Neighborhood Network Steering
Committee
• Volunteers are needed to help with the open house in 1-2 hour shifts
• The open house will be held from 11:00 -3:00 in the Library Community Room and
refreshments will be provided
• Last year,Myrna helped to funnel people in who were heading into the Library
• At the December or January meeting,Liz and Joanne will bring a draft packet to the
Committee for review
Myrna made one suggestion from her experiences at last year's open house. She suggested the
refreshment table be placed at the far corner of the room to avoid any distraction.
Liz asked if the ideas sounded good. Basil asked her to bring a list to the next meeting that
details which programs will be represented at the open house. For example, he thinks the
neighborhood trail study should be represented. Myrna suggested there be lots of signage to
advertise the open house.
Basil asked if there were any transportation projects which are relevant with the timing of the
open house.Joanne suggested that TriMet is opening WES in February. In fact, the open house
will be held at the tail end of WES Week. Rex suggested that the TriMet WES safety videos be
handed out as a takeaway at the open house.
7. URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN COMMUNICATION PLAN
At the last meeting the Committee briefly discussed the Urban Forestry Master Plan (UFMP).
CCI MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2008—Page 6
I:\LRPLN\MARISSA\CCI\2008\11-08\11-19-08 MEETING MINUTES CCI.DOCX
Marissa explained that this is the first of several projects Long Range Planning staff will be
working on to implement the Comprehensive Plan.
Marissa gave a brief background about the City's citizen involvement structure. Statewide
Planning Goal 1 is, "To develop a citizen involvement program that ensures the opportunity
for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process."Tigard complies with the
state's citizen involvement requirements as they relate to the City's land use program activities.
Specific requirements relating to citizen involvement are included in the Development Code.
These requirements ensure citizens are informed and can participate.
The Comprehensive Plan contains the City's Citizen Involvement Goals and Policies. The two
goals are included below:
Goal 1.1 Provide citizens and affected agencies, and other jurisdictions the opportunity to
participate in all phases of the planning process.
Goal 1.2 Ensure all citizens have access to:
a. Opportunities to communicate directly to the City; and
b. Information on issues in an understandable form.
At the November meeting, CCI members asked what the Committee's role is in the land use
process. To answer that question, Marissa shared Comprehensive Plan, Policy 1. This policy
states:
Policy 1 The City shall maintain a Committee for Citizen Involvement representative of a
broad cross-section of the community to:
a. Make recommendations to the City regarding ways to engage the public
in City issues,projects, and the land use process;
b. Help implement and develop a public information and citizen
involvement program applicable to a wide range of issues; and
C. Support the enhancement of Tigard's overall level and quality if civic
engagement by promoting meaningful citizen involvement in city
government.
Marissa further explained that the Committee has an opportunity to make recommendations
through communication plan review about the way we plan to engage the public to help
implement a specific citizen involvement program and promote meaningful citizen
involvement. Specifically,Marissa asked the Committee to review our plans for the next year
regarding citizen involvement in the creation of the Urban Forestry Master Plan. Marissa asked
the Committee to consider,in your opinion, are we meeting the Comprehensive Plan Citizen
Involvement Goals and Policies? Specific questions to ask may include: (Based on Comp Plan
policies)
• Is the role of citizens defined and publicized for each phase of the planning process?
• Are the opportunities for citizen involvement planned for in the Communication Plan
appropriate to the scale of the planning effort and do they involve a broad cross-
section of the community?
CCI MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2008—Page 7
I:\LRPLN\MARISSA\CCI\2008\11-08\11-19-08 MEETING MINUTES CCI.DOCX
• Will pertinent information be readily accessible to the community?
• Are the communication methods planned for in the Communication Plan appropriate
for this project?
• Is the City planning to seek citizen information and input through collaboration with
community organizations,interest groups, and individuals in addition to City
sponsored boards and committees?
Marissa pointed the Committee specifically to page four of the Communication Plan and
summarized the proposed level of involvement for each phase of the project. She asked the
Committee if they had any suggested changes.
There was a motion by Alma, seconded by Gary, to approve the UFMP Communication Plan
as presented. The motion carried as follows:
AYES: Christopher, Caffall, Islas, Froude,Jelinek, Boyce,Adriano
NAYS: None
ABSTENTIONS: None
EXCUSED: Carver,Anda
8. ROBERTS RULES
Marissa briefly discussed the fact that the Committee for Citizen Involvement bylaws state that
the Committee will run their meetings according to Roberts Rules of Order. Although on
many of the items the Committee will discuss an informal consensus is appropriate,items
which are forwarded to City Council (including meeting minutes) should contain an official
motion. A brief handout on how to craft motions was included in the November meeting
packet.
9. OTHER BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/ NEXT AGENDA
Marissa pointed out the following items under other business:
1. Next month the Committee will have their annual joint meeting with City Council.
Suggested for future agenda items:
1. Continuation of the discussion about the formation of a bike/'Pedestrian
committee;
2. Discussion of the Neighborhood Network Open House to be held in February;
and
3. Website Advisory Committee.
10. ADJOURNMENT
Chair Christopher adjourned the meeting at 8:41 pm.

November 10, 2008 ,
Dear Resident,
Tigard City Council wants to involve citizens as partners to address neighborhood issues and
facilitate communication on community issues. Out of that desire, a Neighborhood Network has
been developed.Although citizens in the City view some issues from a citywide perspective,more
often issues that affect citizens on a day-to-day basis are unique to their neighborhood. The purpose
of the Neighborhood Network is to involve citizens as partners in addressing their neighborhood
issues and strengthen connections between neighbors and the City.
The city is divided into 13 geographic areas around elementary schools and major transportation
routes.Recently,your neighbors in the Blue Heron Homeowners Association requested to be
moved from Neighborhood Network Area 10 to Neighborhood Network Area 11 due to the
wetlands.This change was approved on October 15,2008.Attached to this memo are two maps.
The first map shows the current Neighborhood Network boundaries after approval of the Blue
Heron Homeowners switch from Area 10 to Area 11.
i
In an effort to make boundaries of Areas 10 and 11 more logical,City staff is proposing to move j
your property from Neighborhood Network Area 10 to Area 11. The second map attached shows
the change as proposed by staff. In addition to making the boundaries more logical,it seems as if
your property is oriented more towards Area 11 than Area 10.
City staff is asking for your input regarding the switch from Neighborhood Network Area 11 to
Area 10.Tigard's Committee for Citizen Involvement(CCI)will make the final decision about the
boundary change on December 17, 2008,and they would love your input. If you have objections to
the change,please send your written comments either by mail or email before December 5,2008 to:
