OUTREACH TO UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS
• METHODS
Duane Roberts, former Staff Liaison to the Committee for Citizen Involvement,will present his
research on methods for reaching out to underrepresented groups within our community. This
topic has been a goal of the Committee for Citizen Involvement for the past two years.
• CERT PROGRAM
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, using the model originally created by the Los
Angeles City Fire Department, began promoting the nationwide use of the Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) concept in 1993. Since then, CERTs have been established in hundreds of
communities. Attachment 2 provides additional information about Tigard's CERT program.
Community Emergency Response Team Training promotes a partnering effort between emergency
services and the people that they serve. The goal is for emergency personnel to train members of
neighborhoods, community organizations, or businesses in basic response skills. CERT members
are then integrated into the emergency response capability for their neighborhood.
Community Response Team members maintain their skill by participating in exercises and activities.
Members can attend supplemental training opportunities offered by the City,Tualatin Valley Fire
and Rescue, Metro West Ambulance, and others that further their skills. Finally, Citizen Response
Team members can volunteer for projects that improve community emergency preparedness.
Currently, the City is working to make the CERT program and training in Tigard available in
Spanish. This may be the first City program to be available in another language.
CITY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
Council has expressed interest in forming a Citizens' Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC)
to advise it on transportation matters. This discussion arose from awareness that Tigard and the
rest of the Portland Metropolitan Region face many current and future transportation challenges.
Furthermore, it was thought that a new transportation advisory committee would be beneficial by
serving as a standing advisory body and a forum for citizen participation. Instead of forming ad-
hoc transportation committees on a fairly regular basis, a standing committee would provide a
dependable "go-to" source of advice and citizen engagement opportunities.
On October 28, 2009 City Council directed staff to develop a formal proposal to form a CTAC for
its consideration. Council discussed this proposal on January 20, 2009 and will make a final decision
on March 24, 2009. The CCI is requested to review staffs proposal (Attachment 3) and make a
recommendation to Council regarding the formation of a City Transportation Commission.
Because this recommendation will be forwarded to City Council, an official motion is requested.
Committee member: I move that...
a) we recommend approval of the formation of a Transportation
Commission as presented.
b) (If emendations are suggested) we recommend approval of the
formation of a Transportation Commission as amended.
2
c) We recommend denial of the formation of a Transportation
Commission.
Committee member: Seconds the motion
Basil: It has been moved and seconded that...
a) we recommend approval of the formation of a Transportation
Commission as presented.
b) (If emendations are suggested) we recommend approval of the
formation of a Transportation Commission as amended.
c) We recommend denial of the formation of a Transportation
Commission.
Is there any discussion?
All those in favor, say Aye.
All those opposed, say No.
All those abstaining, say Yes.
Committee: Votes
Basil: The motion is carried/lost.
STREET MAINTENANCE FEE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN
What is the Street Maintenance Fee?
The street maintenance fee (SMF) is a monthly user fee designed specifically for use in the
maintenance of existing City streets. The fee was recommended to City Council by a citizen task
force, and established through Ordinance No. 03-10 on November 18, 2003. The monthly fee
charges for residential and non-residential users of the street system are billed through the City's bi-
monthly utility billing system.
Last month City Engineer, Gus Duenas, spoke to the CCI about Council's desire to have an
expanded outreach program for the Street Maintenance Fee. This Public Involvement Plan
incorporates the CCI's suggestions with the internal team's suggestions about public outreach.
Public Involvement Plan Review Reminders:
*What is the law?
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." Goal 1 requires the
local citizen involvement program to "clearly define procedures by which the general public will be
involved in the ongoing land use process."These actions include methods to involve citizens in land
use issues;promoting successful two-way communication and feedback between the City and its
citizens;means by which citizens may affect outcomes; clarity and availability of technical
information; and financial support and other resources for citizen involvement efforts.
*What are Tigard's Citizen Involvement Policies and Requirements?
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 relate to application,notice, and hearing procedures for
quasi-judicial and legislative land use matters (Comprehensive Plan Amendments,Annexations,
Zoning Map amendments, etc.) to ensure citizens are informed and can participate.
3
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.
*What is the Committee's role?
The overall role of the Committee for Citizen Involvement is included in the 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.
Review of Public Involvement Plans is part of the Committee's goal#1, "Improve Citywide Citizen
Involvement."
*What does this mean for the Street Maintenance Fee Public Involvement plan?
This is your opportunity to make recommendations about the way we plan to engage the public,
help us implement a specific citizen involvement program, and promote meaningful citizen
involvement for the Street Maintenance Fee process. City staff is looking to you to review our plans
for the next 3-6 months regarding citizen involvement in the SMF process (Attachment 4). 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?
■ 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?
Please note, at the end of the process staff will bring back a citizen involvement report so that you
can evaluate the effectiveness of the methods used.
An official motion about the Street Maintenance Fee Public Involvement Plan is requested.
Motion Suggestion:
Committee member: I move that...
d) we approve the Street Maintenance Fee Public Involvement
Plan as presented.
e) (If emendations are suggested) we approve the Street
4
Maintenance Fee Public Involvement Plan as amended.
Committee member: Seconds the motion
Basil: It has been moved and seconded that...
c) we approve the Street Maintenance Fee Public Involvement
Plan as presented.
d) we approve the Street Maintenance Fee Public Involvement
Plan as amended.
Is there any discussion?
All those in favor, say Aye.
All those opposed, say No.
All those abstaining, say Yes.
Committee: Votes
Basil: The motion is carried/lost.
URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT UPDATE
On November 19, 2008, the CCI approved the Communication Plan for the Urban Forestry Master
Plan (Attachment 5). The Communication Plan breaks down each phase of the process and speaks
to the ways in which citizens and stakeholders may participate, communicate, and receive
information about the Urban Forestry Management Plan. City staff will discuss the effectiveness of
public involvement tools used to date, and lay out the plan for the second half of this process.
The following is an update on the highlights of the Urban Forestry Master Plan public involvement
process:
Phase 1 Results (Project Launch):
The CAC adopted the following vision for the Tigard's Urban Forest:
Tigard's urban forest is valued and protected by City residents as a thriving interconnected
ecosystem managed to improve quality of life, increase community identity, and maximize
aesthetic, economic, and ecological benefits.
The CAC also established the following purpose statement for the Urban Forestry Master Plan:
The purpose of the Urban Forestry Master Plan is to implement the goals and policies in the
Urban Forestry section of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and to guide the future of Tigard's
urban forest by:
• Documenting past and present conditions of the urban forest;
• Providing recommendations and measurable goals that will improve urban forest
management;
• Coordinating City departments with each other,with other jurisdictions, and with
the community's vision for trees in Tigard; and
• Providing a legislative resource for future plans, policies, and ordinances.
More details about Phase 1 can be found by reviewing the November 5, 2008 meeting packet and
minutes which are available online at www.tigard-or.gov/trees.
5
Phase 2 results (Define Current Conditions):
An independent, scientific telephone survey of 400 randomly selected citizens about their attitudes
towards existing and potential urban forestry policies and programs was completed. The survey was
funded in part by a grant from the Oregon Department of Forestry and USDA Forest Service. The
survey results will be incorporated into the Urban Forestry Master Plan and allow for a more
detailed understanding of how to manage Tigard's urban forest in a way that better meets the needs
of the community.
The following documents are available online at www.tigard-or.gov/trees for additional
information:
• Telephone Survey Questions and Answers
• Analysis of Telephone Survey Results by Steve Johnson and Associates
• Web Survey Results -A parallel web survey was also completed so that any resident that did
not participate in the phone survey could express their attitudes towards existing and
potential urban forestry policies and programs as well.
o Answers to Open Ended Web Survey Question: Name a Model City
o Answers to Open Ended Web Survey Question: What can be done to improve
appearance and quality of trees?
City staff teamed with Metro to complete a comparative analysis of tree canopy cover change in the
community spanning the past ten years. This was accomplished by using Metro's software that can
detect the presence of tree canopy cover in 1996 and 2007 Tigard air photos. This partnership will
continue, and allow Tigard to continually track canopy change in the future as Metro runs the
software on Tigard air photos every two years. Tigard Tree Canopy Analysis Results are also
available online at www.tigard-or.gov/trees.
More details about Phase 2 can be found by reviewing the January 7, 2009 meeting packet and
minutes that are posted online.
NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS:
• CONFIRM STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Liz received two applications (Attachments 6 and 7) from residents interested in serving on the
Neighborhood Network steering committees. She may have additional applications at the meeting.
The CCI is responsible for confirming, not approving, steering committee membership.
Neighborhood Network application review is part of the Committee's Goal #2, "Develop an active
steering committee in each Neighborhood Network Area."
• BOUNDARY CHANGE UPDATE
At Basil's request, City staff reevaluated the boundaries of Neighborhood Network Area's 3, 4, 5
and 6. The boundaries were originally set using the school attendance boundaries set by the School
Board. In February, 2009 the committee agreed to do outreach for the following boundary changes:
• Make Hwy 99W the boundary between Area's 3 and 5;
• Make Hwy 217 the boundary between Area's 3 and 4; and
• Add a portion of Area 5 to Area 6 so that the entire Urban Renewal Area is within only one
neighborhood.
6
City staff sent letters to property owners and is already receiving positive feedback about the
proposed changes. Next month the Committee will vote on all three proposed boundary changes.
• ENHANCEMENT GRANT PROGRAM
In January, the Committee voted to move to a modified funding structure for the neighborhood
program. Liz will update the Committee on the status of this program.

5. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS OPEN HOUSE RECAP
Liz began with the Neighborhood Network Open House update. The open house was held
February 7, 2009 in the Tigard Library Community Room. This year, the focus of the open
house was on encouraging residents to sign up for steering committees. Due to the sunny
weather, the open house saw fewer participants this year (144 packets handed out) than last
year (170 packets handed out). However, the room was never empty. City staff received good
comments from residents regarding the various City programs.
Liz provided the following summary about the open house:
• Many residents comment on the neighborhood websites. They thought the links to
neighborhood schools were great.
• CCI members Connie,John, and Basil all attended the event.
• People spent more time at the open house this year than they did last year.
• Six additional residents signed up to participate on their neighborhood steering
committees.
• The representative from Police,Jim Wolf, saw a lot of interest in the Citizens Police
Academy.
• Next year,like last year,Joanne will send out utility bill stuffers about the event.
• Liz is planning to hold the event annually on the first Saturday in February. This seems
to be after any inclement weather and before outdoor activities begin.
Basil asked if most people attending the open house were already aware of the neighborhood
program. Liz responded that most people had at least heard of the program, but that there was
a range of knowledge about the program details.
Liz reported that overall it was a good event, and they will start planning in fall for next year.
Bev mentioned that she was sorry she couldn't make it.
6. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS:
• Confirm Steering Committee Members
• Boundary Change
• Enhancement Grant Program
Confirm Steering Committee Members
Liz passed out two steering committee applications for the Committee to review; an additional
application was included in the Committee's meeting materials packet:
• Ysela Bergquist,At-Large Member—Area 10
• Brandie Harris,At-Large Member—Area 10
• Nancy Byles,At-Large Member—Area 11
CO MEETING MINUTES—February 18,2009—Page 2
I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\02-09\02-78-09 Meeting Minutes CCIA=
So far, she has received applications for the Steering Committees in Area 11 (4),Area 13,Area
3 (2),Area 1,Area 11 (4), and Area 10 (5). Liz passed out a handout summarizing this
information titled Neighborhood Network Steering Committee Membership. She pointed out
that if the Committee confirms the applications before them tonight, there will be two active
steering committees.
Connie asked what was required for a steering committee to be considered active. Liz replied
that the Neighborhood Network Steering Committee's need at least four members to be
considered "active,"'with a maximum of seven members.
There was a motion by John, seconded by Bev, to confirm Ysela Bergquist, Brandie Harris, and
Nancy Byles as steering committee members for their respective committees. The motion
carried as follows:
AYES: Christopher, Froude, Carver,Harris, Ramaekers, Caffall
NAYS: None
ABSTENTIONS: None
EXCUSED:Anda,Jelinek,Adrian
Boundary Change
At Basil's request, City staff reevaluated the boundaries of Neighborhood Network Area's 3, 4,
5 and 6. The boundaries were originally set using the school attendance boundaries set by the
School Board. Marissa passed out two maps. The first, titled Neighborhood Network
Boundaries and the second titled,Potential Adjustment Neighborhood Network Boundaries.
Liz summarized the changes as proposed by staff:
• Make Hwy 99W the boundary between Area's 3 and 5;
• Make Hwy 217 the boundary between Area's 3 and 4; and
• Add a portion of Area 5 to Area 6 so that the entire Urban Renewal Area is within only
one neighborhood.
Liz spoke about her plan to send a letter to all of the residents affected by the boundary
changes including both maps. The letter will ask area residents to submit their comments to the
CCI prior to the Committee's vote on the issue.
Bev asked if Area 3 was already seeing any activity. Liz reported yes, that they had two people
signed up to participate on the Steering Committee for this area and the website is already up
and going. The two steering committee members are already ready to get going on some of the
issues in Area 3,like graffiti, etc.
Bev asked the Committee if they could foresee any opposition to the changes as presented.
Basil said he did not think so.
Liz and Marissa reiterated that area residents will have the opportunity to make comments to
the CCI either in person, or in writing,regarding the proposed changes.
CCI MEETING MINUTES—February 18,2009—Page 3
I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\02-09\02-78-09 Meeting Minutes CCLd—
Enhancement Grant Program
Liz reminded the committee about their discussion last meeting where the decision was made
to combine the grant programs into one category ($50,000 total) with the exception of special
event grants ($5,000/neighborhood). Each neighborhood will have to have an active steering
committee to be eligible for the grants.
Liz stated that she would like to get a preliminary okay on the draft grant materials from the
CCI. She still needs to get the final draft tweaked by staff to ensure the wording of eligible
projects is correct. The draft application materials were included in the monthly meeting packet.
John asked how each neighborhood will know what the total cost of their project will be. Liz
pointed the Committee to the backside of the application where the prerequisites include
meeting with City staff. She gave the example of a smaller sidewalk near Templeton Elementary
School. The project coordinator may not be a steering committee member, so a letter of
support from the steering committee is required. Bev was glad to see that anyone could submit
a project for consideration, not just the steering committee members.
John also asked where the applications were to be submitted. For now,Liz said they will go to
her. In the future, the CCI can decide whether they will accept the applications after the annual
neighborhood meetings in October?Will you consider them all year? Should it be first come,
first served? Should there be a window during which the applications are accepted?
Later,Liz said, the Committee can talk about the mechanics of the grant program for the CCI.
This should occur after technical staff has had an opportunity to review this draft. The money
will be available beginning July 1,2009.
Sue suggested the prerequisites be moved to section one of the document, and John agreed.
Liz asked, and the Committee confirmed that the material looked good and it was okay to send
it on to technical staff.
7. SHINING STARS BANQUET— CITIZENSHIP AWARD
Liz shared that recognizing good citizenship was one of the City Council's goals. Council
asked to have the award presented at the Tigard Chamber's annual Shining Stars Banquet and
mentioned this request at the CCI's annual joint meeting with City Council.
For this reason,Marissa mentioned that recognizing good citizenship had been added to the
Committee's draft goals for 2009.
Because the Chamber's annual banquet is to be held on April 25th, Liz mentioned that there is
a relatively short timeline to put award materials together. Liz pointed everyone to the draft
Exemplary Citizenship Award materials which were sent out in the February meeting packet.
CCI MEETING MINUTES—February 18,2009—Page 4
I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\02-09\02-78-09 Meeting Minutes CCIA—
This document is in plain text format, because it will be designed by the City's graphic designer
once the text is finalized.
Liz stated that Council is looking for a recommendation from the CCI regarding the award
materials.
Committee members asked if staff was looking to award both an individual or a business or
just one. Liz suggested that be determined by the applications that are received. She was
thinking the company who purchased bikes and held an essay contest to distribute them to
Tigard Youth could be deserving of an award.
Basil asked if City staff could be nominated. Liz suggested they could, if it was for
contributions made outside of their work day. The City already has an Employee of the Month
program to recognize exceptional employees.
Connie suggested that Tigard Bowl, for their work within the Community could be recognized
for an award.
Liz said that if the materials were okay with the Committee, she will discuss them with City
Council at their next meeting.
Bev said that she was glad Council included them as part of the decision making process. Basil
suggested the term, "mover and shaker" be removed from the document.
The Committee agreed to forward the language to City Council.
8. STREET MAINTENANCE FEE INCREASE—PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Gus began by explaining that the Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force (TFSTF)
originally recommended the Street Maintenance Fee because there was a big backlog of street
maintenance projects. The fee went into effect on Apri11, 2004, and for the first few years the
City was able to get by with the additional funding.
Gus passed out a handout on the Street Maintenance Fee methodology. He explained that
most cities use the trip generation method to determine how much non-residential users pay.
The problem in Tigard with this methodology is illustrated by Washington Square. This area
has a very large trip generator,yet most patrons use state routes (ie. Hall, Hwy 217, Greenberg
Rd), not City streets, to get to the mall. The Grocery Association came up with the idea to use
the minimum parking requirements to assess the fee which was the methodology ultimately
adopted by City Council. An exemption would be religious institutions, because they have
huge parking requirements but the spaces are not always utilized.
The $800,000 target originally set in 2003 is no longer sufficient to maintain City streets due to
a number of factors,including the doubling of the price of asphalt.
CCI MEETING MINUTES—February 18,2009—Page 5
I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\02-09\02-78-09 Meeting Minutes CCIAd
Gus then pointed the Committee to a PowerPoint presentation handout. The City had the
streets rated a year ago and the results are on page seven of the handout. The City would like
to maintain an Overall Condition Index (OCI) rating of 75, and the City is currently at 68.
In the graph on page eleven of the handout, at a collection rate of$800,000, the condition of
City streets will continue to go straight downhill. It takes a collection rate of$2.2 million
before we see the overall condition begin to improve.
Engineering staff went to Council with this information and the Council suggested they do
outreach to our citizens and businesses. There was very weak attendance at the two open
houses which were advertised in Cityscape. City Council delayed their decision on the street
maintenance fee and asked staff to conduct an expanded outreach effort.
Gus stated that he would like to use the Committee for Citizen Involvement as a sounding
board for issues such as how to focus their citizen involvement efforts,who to target, etc. Gus
sees the need to make the case for the proposed fee increase in a convincing fashion. It is his
goal to have this information back to Council in 3-6 months. In the meantime, he hopes to do
as much public involvement as possible. The TFSTF will be the main body carrying out the
additional input effort.
Rex asked if the proposed fee increases had been included in the newspaper. Gus said no, but
that it had been on the front of the Cityscape Newsletter. Rex suggested sending out water bill
inserts because this is where the fee is assessed.
Gus agreed with Rex and mentioned his desire to do targeted outreach to specific businesses,
for example at Washington Square.
Gus mentioned past projects funded with Street Maintenance Fee dollars,including sections
of Greenburg Rd,Durham, and 121St. The increase in the fee is needed also to fund right-of-
way maintenance, the area between the sidewalk and the street,which often goes without.
Basil asked, to clarify the City's processes,if Council could just vote and approve the fee
increase. Gus said yes, but that the Council would like to have broad community support
before making a decision.
To follow up, Basil said that it sounded like at this point the businesses are more concerned
with the fee increase the residents. Gus said yes that is true at this point in the process. With
the economy,people are wondering if this is the right time for a fee increase. He continued
that there are lots of options for phasing in the fee increase over time.
Basil suggested outreach materials include the fee comparison between Tigard and nearby
cities. He also suggested providing a link online to an updated Street Maintenance Fee video.
CCI MEETING MINUTES—February 18,2009—Page 6
I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\02-09\02-78-09 Meeting Minutes CCIA—
In response to CCI member suggestions about roads needing widening or additional
sidewalks, Gus reminded the Committee that the money collected for the Street Maintenance
Fee can only be used for maintenance on existing roads, not to fund new projects.
John asked Gus if he had a map showing streets needing maintenance. Gus said two maps are
available, one showing past maintenance projects and one showing what is planned.
Marissa mentioned that staff would be meeting to discuss this issue as well. Gus said that he
has put together an internal team to work through the public involvement process. Marissa
suggested she could bring a new public involvement plan for this topic to the next CCI
meeting.
Basil said he thought Gus would get the overall support of the community. Bev suggested
having another open house, this time at the library. Basil said the hard thing about the library is
that many of the patrons live outside the City.
9. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN

CO MEETING MINUTES—February 18,2009—Page 7
I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\02-09\02-78-09 Meeting Minutes CCIA—
Bev suggested the Committee prioritize the goals, she stated that she is really interested in
having representatives from the CPO program come to talk to the CCI. She also mentioned that
she would like to get going on outreach to underrepresented groups.
Basil felt differently, that the Committee should consider items as they become important, and
tackle the other issues in the time remaining.

We appreciate your interest in the Tigard's Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT) organization. If you aren't familiar with CERT, these few paragraphs will give you some
background information about CERT. Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However,
during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can quickly overwhelm conventional emergency
services. CERT's role is to assist in these circumstances. The Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) training program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is designed to help you
protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your neighborhood in an emergency situation. CERT is a
positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on
their own and their actions can make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the
training, one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing
themselves in unnecessary danger. In the CERT training, citizens learn to:
• Turn Off utilities and put out small fires
• Perform Simple Triage and basic medical aid
• Basic Urban Search and Rescue
Additionally CERTs collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts and train as teams to
support the emergency response effort. Having the CERT training means you're as ready as you can be
to help yourself, your family and your neighborhood. Read on to learn how you can join CERT and play a
vital role as a volunteer in Tigard CERT.
CERT members receive 24 hours (3 hours a week for eight weeks) of initial training. The 8-week
course is followed by full-day biannual refresher drills, and enhanced training and deployment.
CERT is provided free of charge within the City of Tigard to anyone 18 or over. Classes are taught
evenings continually twice a year in convenient locations. The current schedule is always available on the
internet at www.tigardcert.org. To register for a class, go to http://www.tigard-or.gov/default.asp. Go to
Quick Links on the left column and click on Emergency Management
You can also organize a class for your neighborhood, business or community group. You need a
minimum of 25 people to be trained and a location to hold the training. Contact the Tigard CERT Unit at
ceng@tigardcert.org to schedule your class. The Tigard CERT Training only conducts non-discriminatory
classes. Non-discrimination includes race, religion, gender, and group affiliations.
Tigard CERT was established in January 2004. On October 1, 1987, the Whittier Narrows
earthquake vividly underscored the threat of an area-wide major disaster, and demonstrated the need to
expedite the training of civilians to prepare for earthquakes and other emergencies. Following the Whittier
Narrows earthquake, the City of Los Angeles took an aggressive role in protecting the citizens of Los
Angeles by creating the Disaster Preparedness Division (now the Disaster Preparedness Section) within
the Los Angeles Fire Department. Their objectives included:
• Educate and train the public and government sectors in disaster preparedness
• Research, evaluate, and disseminate disaster information
• Develop, train, and maintain a network of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs).
1993:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) decided to make the concept and program
available to communities nationwide. The Emergency Management Institute (EMI), in cooperation with
the LAFD, expanded the CERT materials to make them applicable to all hazards.
2002:
In January 2002, CERT became part of the Citizen Corps, a unifying structure to link a variety of related
volunteer activities to expand a community's resources for crime prevention and emergency response.
2004:
As of January 2004, 50 states, three territories and six foreign countries are using the CERT training.

Public Involvement Plan
Street Maintenance Fee
I. Introduction
Background
The Tigard City Council is considering increasing the street maintenance fee and is asking Tigard
residents and businesses to comment on the idea.
Tigard's street system includes 148 miles of paved streets that keep Tigard motorists in motion.
These streets represent one of our community's biggest investments. The street maintenance fee
provides a stable source of revenue to maintain City streets by funding:
■ Re-paving damaged streets
■ Slurry seals
■ Overlays
The Current Fee
The existing street maintenance fee was initiated in 2004 following a recommendation by a citizen
task force and adoption by the City Council. Tigard residents and businesses pay the following fees
on their bi-monthly utility bills:
■ Residential properties - $2.18 a month (or$4.36 a billing cycle)
■ Non-residential- $.78 per parking space per month
The Proposed Fee
The proposed fee increases would be phased in from 2009 to 2011. By 2011 Tigard residents and
businesses pay the following fees on their bi-monthly utility bills:
■ Residential properties - $6.06 a month (or $12.12 a billing cycle)
■ Non-residential properties - $2.44 per parking space per month
The revenue generated by the fee would be at the level needed to adequately maintain the streets and
right-of-way areas. Beyond 2011 an inflation factor based on a recognized cost index will be used to
adjust the fee.
Why Is the Increase Needed
The annual revenue generated by the existing fees is no longer sufficient to adequately maintain City
streets. There are four factors driving the need to raise the Street Maintenance Fee:
■ Providing routine maintenance will prevent streets from deteriorating to the point that re-
construction would be required - at 4 to 10 times the cost of providing routine maintenance.
■ In the past two years, the cost of asphalt doubled. This drastically reduced the number of
streets that could be repaired and increased the backlog of maintenance projects.
■ The City would like to begin a program to maintain the areas between sidewalks and
property lines, medians and planters on arterial and collector streets.
Project Purpose
The purpose of a Street Maintenance fee increase is to extend pavement life and ensure safer roads.
Timely street maintenance is important, as deferring maintenance on streets increases costs 4 to 9
times more in the long run. The original target annual revenue in 2003 was $800,000.An updated
review of the City's street network reveals that the annual revenue generated by the existing fees is
1
no longer sufficient to adequately maintain City streets. The current street Overall Condition Index
(OCI) in Tigard is 68. An OCI of 75,which can be reached with gradual annual... will cost the City
$2,500,000 annually,is optimal because it ensures the City can stay within a perpetual maintenance
cycle over the long term.
Communication Plan Components
The Tigard Comprehensive Plan Citizen Involvement section is divided between two goals:
Goal 1.1: Provide Citizens, 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.
Thus, the Communication Plan breaks down each phase of the process and speaks to the ways in
which citizens and stakeholders can participate, communicate, and receive information about the
Street Maintenance Fee Increase.
Key Players
Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force (TFSTF)
The Transportation Financing Strategies Task Force will be the citizen body leading this public
outreach effort. They will participate in meetings (to the extent the members can commit) and take
the findings and recommendations to Council for discussion and consideration.
Committee for Citi.Zen Involvement
The role for the Committee for Citizen Involvement is to review the form and process of City
communications with its residents. This Committee will have an opportunity to review the
Communication Plan at the outset of the project, and will monitor citizen involvement throughout
the process. The Committee will also receive comments and provide input.
Stakeholders
For this project, stakeholders are divided into two categories,residential and non-residential,because
the fee increase will affect each differently. There are some specific groups such as the downtown
business owners, Highway 99W business owners, small business owners, and Tigard Neighborhood
Network participants on which targeted outreach efforts will be centered.As the fee increase will
affect both categories citywide, a broad outreach effort will also be conducted.
Staff
The role of staff will be to facilitate the TSFTF and CCI meetings, conduct stakeholder meetings,
and gather and present the community's attitudes regarding the fee increase to City Council,
Schedule
The duration of the public engagement effort is expected to last from 3-6 months.

maintenance of existing City streets.
4. Tigard City Council is seeking additional citizen input on the proposed fee increases.
5. The proposed fee increases in 2008 dollars are from $2.18 to $6.06 per household monthly
for residential units and from $0.78 to $2.44 per parking space required by the Tigard
Community Development Code monthly for non-residential uses.
