C. Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/10/2014 Length (in minutes): Consent Item Agenda Title: Resolution Accepting the Water Master Plan Update for River Terrace Submitted By: Debbie Smith-Wagar Financial and Information Services Item Type: Motion Requested Meeting Type: Consent Agenda Public Hearing No Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Shall the City Council approve a resolution adding the attached Water System Master Plan Addendum for River Terrace to the city's Water System Master Plan? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY As part of the River Terrace Community Plan, water system public facilities have been identified that will need to be built in order for River Terrace to be developed. These projects need to be added to the City of Tigard Water System Master Plan. By adding the projects to the Water System Master Plan, water system development charges can be used to fund portions of these projects. In 2010, the City of Tigard updated its Water System Master Plan (WSMP). The WSMP addresses water supply capacity needs and guides water system infrastructure improvements in the Tigard Water Service Area. Since the adoption of the WSMP update in 2010, the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan was completed and adopted by Washington County and the city. The area now known as River Terrace (and formerly known as West Bull Mountain) was also annexed to the city. The attached master plan addendum updates the WSMP to accommodate water needs anticipated in River Terrace and contributes to the city's broader goal of completing the River Terrace Community Plan. The 2010 WSMP update addressed River Terrace's overall water supply capacity needs, but did not address how water service would be delivered to this area. The attached water master plan addendum addresses this issue. A summary of capital improvement project recommendations and costs can be found on pages 8 and 9 of the addendum. The recommended improvements are also illustrated in Figure 7, which can be found on the very last page of the addendum. Two of the three pressure zones in the River Terrace area can be easily and effectively served by the extension of existing distribution and transmission lines. In order to serve the remaining pressure zone (River Terrace 550) the city will need to provide more water storage in addition to new transmission lines. The recommendation is to construct a three million gallon storage reservoir on the city-owned Cach property, which was purchased for this purpose to meet existing storage deficiencies in this area. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council could choose to not approve the resolution and not add the projects to the Water System Master Plan. COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS Water System Master Plan River Terrace Community Plan DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION Council approved the contract for the River Terrace Community Plan (which includes the Water System Master Plan update) on June 25, 2013. The financing strategies team met with Council and presented an overview of the River Terrace funding strategy on January 21, 2014. The water and sewer system master plan updates were presented to Council on May 20, 2014. Fiscal Impact Cost: $17,573,500 Budgeted (yes or no): Partially Where Budgeted (department/program): CIP Additional Fiscal Notes: The 2014 budget has appropriations to fund the Barrows/Scholls Ferry water line project (the "18-inch Transmission Main" identified in Table 3 of the Water System Addendum). The Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2015 to 2019 has funding for design of the Cach Reservoir in fiscal year 2018. Cash reserves in the Water Fund would be used to pay for this project.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/10/2014 Length (in minutes): Consent Item Agenda Title: Resolution Accepting the Sewer Master Plan Update for River Terrace Submitted By: Debbie Smith-Wagar Financial and Information Services Item Type: Motion Requested Meeting Type: Consent Agenda Public Hearing No Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Shall the City Council approve a resolution adding the attached Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Addendum for River Terrace to the city's Sanitary Sewer Master Plan? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY As part of the River Terrace Community Plan, sanitary sewer system public facilities have been identified that will need to be built/upgraded/replaced in order for River'Terrace to be developed. These projects need to be added to the City of Tigard Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. Staff is working with Clean Water Services to facilitate development of these projects. In 2010, the City of Tigard updated its Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (SSMP). The SSMP evaluates wastewater flows based on land uses, establishes gravity sewer pipe sizes, and serves as a guide for all capital sewer projects within the city. The 2010 SSMP update was developed in concert with Clean Water Services (CWS), the agency responsible for all pump stations, wastewater treatment, force mains and large gravity sewer pipes (24-inch diameter and greater). Since the adoption of the SSMP update in 2010, the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan was completed and adopted by Washington County and the city. The area now known as River Terrace (and formerly known as West Bull Mountain) was also annexed to the city. The attached master plan addendum updates the SSMP to accommodate sewer needs anticipated in River Terrace and contributes to the city's broader goal of completing the River Terrace Community Plan. The 2010 SSMP update did not include River Terrace sewer needs in its analysis. The attached sewer master plan addendum resolves this issue. A summary of capital improvement project recommendations and costs can be found on pages 16-18 of the addendum. The recommended improvements are also illustrated in Figure 9, which can be found on the last page of the addendum. Due to topography, the River Terrace area was split into two sewer service sub-basins identified as River Terrace North and River Terrace South. A small area within each sub-basin will be able to gravity flow to existing trunk lines. However the majority of the area will need to utilize pump stations and force mains to gain access to existing trunk lines. Recommendations for the River Terrace North sub-basin include a 9.3 mgd (million gallons per day) pump station in the northwest corner, 7 mgd of which will serve South Cooper Mountain. Recommendations for the River Terrace South sub-basin include revising the service area for the existing South Bull Mountain Pump Station to serve the southeastern portion of River Terrace as well as the construction of a pump station in the southwest corner. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council could choose to not approve the resolution and not add the projects to the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS Sewer System Master Plan River Terrace Community Plan DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION Council approved the contract for the River Terrace Community Plan (which includes the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan update) on June 25, 2013.

Fiscal Impact Cost: $16,676,000 Budgeted (yes or no): No Where Budgeted (department/program): N/A Additional Fiscal Notes: Staff is working with Clean Water Services (CWS) to determine the cost allocation between the city and CWS based on the existing intergovernmental agreement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approving this resolution. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY During public a Budget Committee meeting held on April 28, 2014, the Budget Committee discussed and approved an update to the compensation to Mayor and Council. Key factors considered in the decision include: • Effort made as part of the FY 2014 budget process to update Mayor and Council compensation after several years without a compensation increase. •Compensation is supposed to be addressed annually per City Charter and Tigard Municipal Code. •The non-represented staff is scheduled to receive a cost of living adjustment of 1.4% in FY 2015. The decision of the Budget Committee was to grant a stipend increase for Mayor and Council commensurate with non-represented staff COLA, and maintain an automobile allowance and city-paid technology for city business. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Do not pass the resolution and maintain current compensation for Mayor and Council.

The team was asked to do research and develop strategies in support of improved neighborhood walkability. The team, calling themselves StepUP Studio, initiated a project called "Tigard Walks." This work included researching case studies, developing an improved GIS system analysis tool for the City's use, resident interviews, online surveys, meeting with community members and ultimately, recommendations for strategies that could improve neighborhood walkability. The team will share their findings, based upon three months of work, with the City Council at this meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST No council action required at this time. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The result from this research project include five strategies that team members believe are the most relevant and timely, given the City of Tigard's draft strategic vision. These neighborhood walkability strategies are based upon three areas of research: community engagement, best practices from similar communities, and data from a GIS based pedestrian network analysis. The team also recognized three recurring core values they discovered through their community engagement work: Family Friendly Neighborhoods, Living Close to Home, and Informed and Empowered Citizens. StepUp Studio's neighborhood walkability research blends with these core values in the following strategy recommendations: 1. Safe Routes to Schools 2. Active Parks and Trails 3. Neighborhood Centers 4. Simple Signs 5. Talk the Walk In their final report, the team provides an in-depth explanation of each strategy and applies the strategy to an existing neighborhood in Tigard. The team also developed three tools to support implementation of these strategies. The first is a GIS based pedestrian network analysis that can model the performance of Tigard's pedestrian infrastructure - or changes to that infrastructure. The second tool is a neighborhood walkability guide community members can use to make their neighborhood more walkable. The third tool is a city communications guide/outline. OTHER ALTERNATIVES N/A COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS This project supports the City of Tigard's 2014 -2034 Draft Strategic Plan. Based upon the work done by these Portland State University graduate students, some part of their findings relate to each of the four goals of the Strategic Plan. This project is also consistent with Tigard's Comprehensive Plan Goal 1 for citizen involvement as well as Goals 8 and 12. DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION March 18, 2014 Introduction to StepUp Studio and their research project. Attachments Tigard Walks PreDraft Summary TIGARD WALKS: WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS PLAN FOR TIGARD, OREGON PRE-DRAFT SUMMARY The Walkable Neighborhoods Plan for Tigard outlines a set of strategies to help Tigard's residents, businesses, and leaders build their city into a more walkable place. These five strategies are based on three core values gleaned from StepUP Studio's outreach efforts to the people living and working in and for the city of Tigard. • Family Friendly Neighborhoods - Tigard's neighborhoods should be safe, vibrant communities, where people of all ages and backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to walk, talk, learn, and play. • Living Close to Home - Tigard's neighborhoods should contain the destinations, facilities, and amenities that meet the needs of their residents. • Informed and Empowered Citizens - Tigard's residents should have the tools. resources, and expertise to help make their communities better, Strategies The five strategies were developed after 1) extensive analysis of the city's pedestrian PEDESTRIAN NETWORK network and existing conditions; 2) ANALYSIS research on best practices and case studies from other cities: and 3) feedback COMMUNITY BEST from Tigard residents, community groups. ENGAGEMENT PRACTICES and city staff. Each strategy responds to RESEARCH one or more of the three core values. 1. Safe Routes to School Safe Routes to School programs have proven successful at increasing neighborhood walkability in a number of comparable cities across the country. WALKABILITY STRATEGIES Eugene and Portland, Oregon, and Alexandria, Virginia have each developed city-wide or regional SRTS policies that have led to SRTS curriculum and programing at their schools; the development of community resources to promote bicycle and pedestrian safety around schools; and helped secure funding for bike/ped infrastructure projects. Of particular benefit to Tigard, the SRTS Program Manager for the region is eager to work with the city and the school district to get started in Tigard. 2. Active Parks and Trails Parks and trail systems are already the heart of Tigard's pedestrian network. Providing consistent activities such as walks and runs, community gardens, or summertime movies under the stars give area residents more opportunities to take advantage of these existing, and mostly walkable neighborhood destinations, and gets people out on their feet in their neighborhoods on a more regular basis. 3. Neighborhood Centers Small, neighborhood commercial nodes provide a walkable alternative for basic goods and services. These centers are typically located on arterial or collector roads. They house service sector businesses like restaurants, coffee shops, and small grocery markets. Increasing the number of walkable destinations within a low-density residential neighborhood can have a dramatic impact on overall walkability. Tigard's zoning code allows for this kind of activity through a C-N zone, but it is not currently in use. 4. Simple Signs Much of the city's existing pedestrian infrastructure, including many cut-throughs and off-street paths, are unknown even to nearby residents. Part of the problem is that neighborhoods often lack adequate signage directed at people on their feet. Simple, visible, and frequent signs for both wayfinding and education can go a long way to helping walkers feel more confident knowing where they're going and how long their journey will take. There are great examples of citizen-led, and city-assisted pedestrian signage initiatives from Raleigh, North Carolina to nearby SW Portland. 5. Talk the Walk With its crisscrossing trails and central downtown, Tigard is already more walkable than most people realize. One thing that sets the most walkable cities apart is their commitment to sharing where and how they walk. This could be through a regular column in the local paper, a set of easily available neighborhood walking maps, or even a "walk of the month" club. A set of communication tools for city staff, and a walkable neighborhoods guide with tips for the community should help shape the conversation about walkability in Tigard. Supplemental Tools In addition to the Walkable Neighborhoods Plan, StepUP Studio is developing a set of tools to support the continued implementation of the walkability strategies, as well as the City of Tigard's efforts to promote walkability through their ongoing strategic planning process. Pedestrian Network Analysis Guidebook A step-by-step how-to guide for city staff for continued use of the Network Analysis GIS tool. Walkability Communications Plan A simple guide book for community members containing steps they can take to make their city and neighborhoods more walkable.

If the PTA is not active in your neighborhood, collaborate with other parents to start a chapter, making SRTS a priority. More direct action to initiate a SRTS program would involve contacting the Principal of the local school or the Superintendent of the Tigard-Tualitan School District (503-431-4000) and requesting assistance rallying parents,teachers and staff around safe pedestrian access to schools. SRTS programs can be further pursued by contacting Tigard City Council members about the status of citywide SRTS policies. Finally, individual action can be taken to activate SRTS programs by contacting the regional policy manager.

'Crowing a Community Garden Community Gardens are great examples of walkable neighborhood destinations that frequently draw people together outdoors. These community gardens can be organized by community groups looking for space to garden.Apartment complexes and condo associations are perfect candidates to find people interested in forming nascent non-profit organization to run a local community gardens program. Hosting community gardens in Tigard's parks would create daily foot traffic by neighbors wanting to cultivate their own fruits,vegetables and flowers. One example with twelve plots at Greenfield Drive and 132nd Avenue has been tilled since 2009. Parks are evenly dispersed throughout western Tigard and offer ready access via neighborhood trails to pedestrian traffic. There are several steps community members can take to help bring community gardens to Tigard's parks: Permits and Water Service • Contact the Parks Supervisor at the City of Tigard (503-718-2598 or parks @tigard-or. gov) to permit the community garden plot and arrange for water service. iii ■d Building a Plot - i • Work with the Boy Scouts of America to build . community garden raised beds and deer fencing.

To get there, Tigard will need to make great strides developing and implementing pedestrian-oriented infrastructure and programing. But the city will also face challenges getting the word out about its commitment to, and progress toward walkability. To that end, this document aims to be a guide for simple communication efforts about Tigard's walkability that can be easily and effectively implemented. • GOALS 1. Promote Tigard's status as a leading walkable suburban city 2. Showcase Tigard's growing pedestrian network 3. Foster community support for more walkable neighborhoods ' s. (JLKEY MESSAGES Focusing communication efforts around a small handful of positive, action-oriented messages increases the reach and effectiveness of the overall strategy. The following four messages should provide ample opportunities to tie specific stories(people and place)to the overarching theme(walkability in Tigard): People in Tigard prefer to walk. Tigard is more walkable than you thou _s leaS011 t0 walk_ 'Z'a: ou can help make Tigard a better place to walk. `r '"`• J III. AUDIENCES Communication efforts about walkability in Tigard have a number of different audiences on a local, regional, national, and global scale: ._r.., Ilk Tigard residents, businesses, and workers 'ni . .N (local) ' 1 Metro area residents, businesses, and workers (regional) Regional partners, governments, and institutions (regional) Peer cities Ill 1 (regional, national) Active transportation interest groups I) (local, regional, national, global) S STOOLS Having a variety of different tools, and utilizing them effectively to reach different audiences is at the heart of any good communications plan. Here is a quick rundown of the main tools currently available to help tell the story about walkability in Tigard. Neighborhood Wa/king Maps With help from Metro, Tigard created a walking map for the Downtown neighborhood (www.tigard-or.gov/downtown_tigard/ going_green/walking_map.asp).Creating similar walking maps that .. feature route options, destinations, and interesting sights for other neighborhoods around town would be a tremendous set of assets for highlighting how walkable Tigard already is and continues to become. Such maps would not need to be as in depth as the map for Downtown Tigard. For example, Kirkland, Washington has created a set of walking maps for different neighborhoods with tips, routes, and points of interest (www.kirklandwa.gov/depart/parks/parks/ neighborhood_walking_maps.htm). Cityscape Monthly News letter - The city's monthly newsletter is expected to switch to online I distribution starting in August 2014. Regardless of distribution ( I method, this is a valuable channel for reaching a wide range of Tigard residents. For this reason, the newsletter should have a • J11!/6iu / • monthly column exclusively about walkability and pedestrian issues. As with social media posts, this is a great place to highlight new igar I pedestrian facilities or assets like events or maps. The newsletter could also feature a "Walk of the Month" route located in different � ‘Li_11�� 1 1t11 f1? neighborhoods around the city. Print and Digital Collateral As the city engages entities outside the region through economic trtEff development,partnerships,or other efforts,it is crucial that the key messages about walkability be incorporated into the materials that the city uses to present itself. From selected images to quality of life highlights, Tigard's commitment to walkability should be present throughout the city's suite of print and digital collateral. tb Wa/king Tours Walking Tours are an easy, affordable, and fun way •Ian"».rT; ,..• I:`,t',"i.7,,,lk �nn'.�7„tr'"`e*Maak•sch« and TIGARD Su.nvWkc Perk.T,�crriw.w•rill.�.vv-nr else�.+d.Itr�IaJ.and thr upJy�.hi��..d hint a WALKS to showcase the city's pedestrian facilities while ridea1Na wIa*1or.'.

Studio with enthusiastic walkers and share walking routes. I tigard-or.gov The city's main website is due for a redesign that should bring easier navigation and more attractive content to the front. This is a perfect opportunity to infuse walkability-related messaging throughout the website. For example, if the new homepage includes 3-5 rotating slides for featured content (a common template for institutional websites such as www.pdx.edu and www.ci.hillsboro.or.us) at least 1 active slide should at all times point to content that highlights walkability in Tigard (an announcement of a new path segment, an upcoming walking event,a new neighborhood walking map, etc.). 1 elj..

The tool can be used to look at the ped shed of a location or test the utility of a new sidewalk, regional trail extension of neighborhood trail. The guidance herein is intended for the Tigard GIS team as future reference when testing concepts or projects. NODE FIXER WEIGHTING PREP 1.

Use City Boundary with a 1 mile buffer (to account for fringe effects) with "Geoprocessing/Buffer" and "Geoprocessing/Merge" tools in ArcGIS to create this 2. Street centerline file 3. Trails (RLIS or City of Tigard) 4. Sidewalks (RLIS)with attributes (L/R yes/no) 5. Signals (City of Tigard) with attributes (yes/no) 6. Proposed cut throughs (self-created) 7. Create destinations (self-created) with Name (e.g. Whole Foods) and Class (e.g. Grocery) 8. Taxlots (RLIS) -> Population (dwellings) layer created using Taxlots with Feature to Points (Data Management) tool. NOTE: All data must be eventually on one layer so the streets and trails shapefiles need to be joined together with sidewalk and signal attributes. I II THE `NODE FIXER' Prepare the street centerline file (check or make node !Ds) Required: • Create a unique segment ID fields (all official data should have this - if not FID can be used with care) • to node ID field • from node ID field • street type field • NOTE:All three ID fields must be numbers Check node !Ds • Select the street centerline layer and ID fields • When checking errors use"all funky ones"The program flags the following errors: • Street segments that are not two ended polylines • Street segment endpoints that are within 16 feet of each other but have different node IDs. • Street segments shorter than 16 feet(can be ignored) • Errors will be highlighted on the map • Repair nodes using"Node Fixer/ Intersection"table. • Use"<prev"or"next>"to cycle through the flagged errors. • Use"pan to"to show the error on the map. • Check"auto"to show errors on the map after"<prey"or"next>" • Select segments in the table to highlight them on the map. • Use"Ctrl"key to select more than one segment. • Use"use majority","use selected;or"enter"to fix errors. • Fix false intersections at bridges if required. • If node IDs are not provided in the street centerline file they can be created by the'Node Fixer' (both node ID fields must exist even if empty)using'make node IDs. • Common issue:street and trail lines created by cities are generally not connected,therefore they need to be snapped to each other at the nodes manually. Edit shapefiles with the `Edit Vertices' tool. This way there is a continuous network the way it exists in reality. O WALKWAY GENERATOR Building a walkway network model • Use the just created street layer with nodes which have unique segment IDs and to and from IDs -> select them in the Walkway Generator • Create the Walkway layer with using the"new" button and select it(as the Walkway layer). • Generate walkways for the different street types (using the street type in the street layer). Create the following attributes: • Arterials &collectors need `Sidewalk and crosswalk' • For Driveways, Unimproved streets, Local streets use `On-walks' (sidewalks or crosswalks are not necessary due to low traffic on these types of streets) • `Off-walks' for trails (no sidewalks or crosswalks exist on trails) • `Non-walk' for ramps (not walkable) Note: These are just suggestions and can be changed to fit local conditions. IV, WEIGHTING THE NETWORK Adding information about what currently exists on the network Weighting Preparation • Add Weight A and Weight B columns in Walkway file. • Save Walkway file as"B-" • Create a second copy of Walkway file and save as"B+" (e.g.: Walkway B- and Walkway B+). The Weight A columns in both files refer to the network of streets & trails. The Weight B column in the B-file refers to the network via streets only The Weight B column in the B+file refers to the whole network with proposed cut through trails. Method Use the`Select by Attributes' tool in the Tables to select: • From walktype (sidewalks and crosswalks) • From sidewalks/crosswalks attributes (yes/no) • For sidewalks LT and RT and "alignment" (attribute) LT and RT have to be done separately. Example: "st_type2" = Arterial'AND "walk_type"= 'sidewalk'AND "alignment"= `left'AND "SW LT" = yes After selection use Field Calculator to calculate Weight_A and Weight_B fields • do this for both Walkway files: B- and B+. Example: Weight_A=foot length * 1.2 (using the same example as above) Weights the foot value refers to how many people are predicted to go out of the way to an impedance. By type of street: • For B+ and B- files: for all collectors Weight A = 1 and Weight B = l • For B+ file: for Trails Weight B = Length • For file B+: for proposed 11 cut through trails and driveways Weight A = 50000 (ft) • For file B-: for all trails Weight B = 50000 and for proposed cut through trails (11) and driveway Weight A = 50000 (ft) For crosswalk on arterials: • Signal YES: 250 (ft) • Signal NO: 1000 (ft) For sidewalks onn arterials: • Sidewalk YES: 1.2 x Length (street of segment) • Sidewalk NO: 10 x Length (street of segment) For sidewalks on collectors: • Sidewalks YES: 1 x Length (same as length) • Sidewalks NO: 5 x Length Note: The 'Open Weighter'tool from the model was not used for this project. Instead it was done manually as described above. �V, ANALYSIS TOOL aka the Access Index Perform the analysis by clicking on `Open Analysis' using Walkway weight files (B- or B+) as `walkway files. • Walkway layer that was previously created. • Destination layer is a shapefile with point(destination) features -choose the name and class attributes and select the destination desired • Population layer is created using Taxlots with Feature to Points (Data Management) tool • Create`new'origin distance layer with bottom (a new folder and file will be created) • Choose above created file • Click`generate effective distances and/or traversals;and analysis is performed using above created file Add fields that calculate (for each destination): • Difference between A and B(if needed do B-A instead of A-B to avoid negative numbers) (use LONG INT) i.e. [Gro_ABDiff]field= IGrocery_A]-[Grocery_B] • Difference X population numbers (use LONG INT) I.e. [GroXPopu]field= [Gro ABDiff]X[totalPop] dill VI. VISUALIZING THE RESULTS IDW(using Spatial Analyst Tool IDW) • Choose Analysis (either - or +) file and choose Field A (e.g. Grocery_A). -> via streets &trails. • Choose Analysis B- file and choose Field B (e.g. Grocery_B). -> via streets only. • Choose Analysis B+ file and choose Field B (e.g. Grocery_B). -> via existing network with proposed cut throughs. • For symbolization use Defined intervals > set interval size to 1320 ft (1/4 mile) Slope Analysis (using Spatial Analyst Tool Slope) • Use IDW raster files created above. • For Output Measurement use PERCENT_RISE instead of degrees. Graduated symbolization of AB difference X population • Choose Analysis B- file and choose `xPopu field' (e.g. GroXPopu). • Use Quantiles,Network Performance,9 classes,take out Os(use exclusion button and enter i.e."GroXPopu" = 0) • Do the same using Analysis B+ file Visualization Examples of Model Output Destinations At the back of this document are maps for a handful of example destinations in West Tigard. • Fowler Middle School (9 maps) • SW 121" Avenue Bus Stop (9 maps) • Whole Foods on Scholls Ferry Road (9 maps) • Sample Neighborhood Commercial Node near SW Walnut and Gaarde Streets (9 maps) Examples Pages 9-23 contain example output visualizations run by StepUP Studio during their analysis for the Tigard Walks project. a Fowler Middle School - 11)W To POO,ISM*Sawa Sof v lot Area Via Stow So Ook —1 ____1 • : • A illp4p Sirwb 7 ■ :..,_r ,\ I ■ - 1__ - —Aflonsh ' - -.. .r. *Way.

III AI SERVICE AREAS OR "PED SHEDS" Figure 4: Link-to-Node Analysis Model Another tool StepUP Studio used for assessing the connectivity of Tigard's pedestrian environment is through determining service areas.

The `network distance' is bound by and adheres to the barriers, definitions and limitations set up by the user and by the boundaries of the defined network. This service area analysis is used PTSt 1! Feature To commonly for Internet routing, route directions, and location analysis for businesses. The ped shed allows for defined barriers such as dead-end streets, one-way streets and physical impediments to be factored into the network. The Link to Node results were inconclusive, showing ratios of 1.31 to 1.38 in the neighborhoods selected using the above criteria overlaid by hexagonal A drawback to this type of pedestrian connectivity analysis is that the ped boundaries found in the Metro Context Tool and neighborhood age.

Scott was happy willing to walk out of my way to avoid this particular street obstacle?" The out, and a better network would thereby provide commensurate results. The network used in these analyses was from the centerline street feature, to offer his tool to StepUP Studio for our analysis of Tigard's pedestrian obstacle could be a river or other natural barrier to the pedestrian network, provided by the City of Tigard, includes important attribute data, such as network. It was through his advice that we created such a thorough network or it could be a freeway,on-ramp,or something as simple as whether or not a that combined auto travel, off-road trails, signals and sidewalks into one given street segment has a sidewalks. This analysis can be altered at any time the presence or absence of sidewalks on any given street segment and other fields covering pedestrian use. However, it is a street dataset used primarily dynamic network. His walkway network analysis tool (walkway tool) works to represent existing conditions, or to investigate a potentially new piece of for road maintenance purposes. by applying weights as the impedances to pedestrian travel. infrastructure to see how the rest of the network reacts. Weights can be very high or very low depending on what outcome the user would like to see. The network needed to be rebuilt to connect it with regional trails and other The walkway tool utilizes a combination of several different tools built in to off-street pedestrian facilities. Doing this involved digitally connecting each the ArcGIS plug-in. It consists of a node fixer, walkway generator, weighter Analysis and every trail segment to the center of the street segment in the digitizing and an analysis function. Y g g g g After having built the network and assigning the weighting scheme or edit environment within ArcGIS. Every trail-to-street and/or sidewalk schemes, the Walkway Network Analysis Tool can be run. It uses the connection was effectively separated. Joining these two datasets presented The Node Fixer network as an input,as well as a point file of population in a defined area,and a far more true and holistic network that most adequately models the real The node fixer works to fix the different data sources that are combined to produces outputs indicating the number of people that travel through a given world. intersection to get to a particular destination. The first file created is a point file create the network. For example, Tigard street centerlines, Tigard trails, Metro RLIS sidewalks and Tigard signal data files were all joined or added with graduated circles indicating the varying numbers of people impacted by Included in the City of Tigard transportation feature dataset was a "trail" in the fashion described above,to create a powerful network. The node fixer access to a particular destination. From the point file in this or any particular feature class. This dataset differed from other available trails GIS data in the provides an automated system for checking and editing node and segment location,the user can use other GIS tools and techniques to best visualize the region, particularly from Metro, in that it was very localized and contained IDs for errors and duplicate data. analysis results. Spatial interpolation is a valuable tool to take known data the small cut-through and unofficial trails,often very short in length,that are and investigate how it will spread over a given geography. On the general used by pedestrians in Tigard to connect roads or trails for easier access to basis of things being close together having a stronger relationship than things their destination. Walkway Generator further apart, spatial interpolation can show how a destination impacts the The walkway generator derives its topology from the topology of the network network in a greater geographic area. Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) is being used as an input. It generates a dataset based on this topology that the spatial interpolation tool used in this analysis to present the data. Each Synchronizing the two transportation networks built a much better dataset g P g P gY point on the raster surface indicates walking distance from that point to the from which to run analyses and could be left alone at that. To create a more includes sidewalks, crosswalks, midwalks, streetwalks and connectors. accurate representation of real world conditions, StepUP sought to improve This generated dataset provides the foundation for assigning the weights, input destination. the network even further by adding attribute information concerning in a future step, that allow the model to calculate levels of difficulty for the signalized intersections and the presence of sidewalks on one or both sides pedestrian to travel in a real world circumstance. SUMMARY of the street. This was done by joining the Metro RLIS sidewalk data to the network dataset with the outcome providing a value of "y" or "n" for the presence of sidewalks. Likewise, signal data from the City of Tigard was Weighter Having used several different geospatial analysis methods to analyze Tigard's added to the network street segments that intersected street signals. The , Weighting the walkways allows the model to replicate real world pedestrian pedestrian network, StepUP Studio is most content with the results provided assembled network model is the best predictor of pedestrian movement actions. The weights are attributed according to the walkway segment's from the extension built by Scott Parker.Not only did this tool require a much regionally, and perhaps nationally. difficulty level for pedestrian flow. Assigning weights can be considered as a more thorough and complete network to be constructed, the results of this representation of the cost of pedestrian travel. Various costs for pedestrians model present the most realistic pedestrian behavior of any of the analyses include length of segment,traffic volume,presence or absence of sidewalks, performed. StepUP Studio plugged in a few destinations and ran the analysis crosswalks or signals, or the ability to circumnavigate a particular street with a weighting scheme based on literature and an understanding of real segment. world pedestrian habits. But one of the most flexible aspects to this tool is that it can be handed over to the City of Tigard and they can use the network StepUP Studio constructed to input any destination and they can create their own unique weighting schemes. It is a very flexible tool,in that respect,and one that can be used for numerous public projects. 416-- Step I: Pede tr an Network . ;a: , ,, GIS NETWORK ANALYSIS FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAVEL TO WHOLE FOODS 1M.oe Foods Store tti Tigard Streets,Trails and Proposed Shortcuts From Dwellings to New Whole Foods Market:Potential Benefit of Existence of Trails From Dwellings to New Whet*Foods Market:Potential Benefit of Shat Cuts __ (Locations where distance is shortened) Locstions whet distance is shonened) The results of a network analysis of walking to the • i ' / it ,. . _., ?— `/°-- ' _ .a .1 I J--,_t j :( i x.} r • . i new Whole Foods shown in the maps to the right i -.- i A I e A f 1 `` ,� ' -1 was accomplished using the Network Analyst tool in ; • t : _ h� ... •„I ArcGIS along with a custom utility developed by Scott Y *- n•O Y •, - - • wass Pons• Nan 1 f ! , • .u14,414 Foods 0 - Parker.

They work with local governments to build at reducing cut-through vehicular traffic but they are often an unmarked, community-based organization, and the city. Even so, best practices show and maintain trails and related facilities, relying on the local knowledge of complex maze to people on their feet. To alleviate these issues, the city and two key features of way-finding signs that can improve walking rates and residents about cut-through passages in parks and the unbuilt rights-of-way parks department have done a remarkable job creating pedestrian connections inform citizens: that neighbors already use. By organizing large volunteer groups, SW Trails through many of the city's cul-de-sacs by way of short segments of off-street has completed 30-40 trail projects. They employ innovative construction walkways. But such connections are provided intermittently, and often lack techniques, including "bucket brigades" to lay gravel along dirt trails with clear indication of where such off-street trails are and where they go.

The Journal of Sustainable Real Estate, 3(1),23-43. ago by Cervero and Duncan.The authors drew from responses to a household travel survey sent to 15,066 randomly selected households in nine counties Tal,G., &Handy,S.

Transportation Research behavior, although only the findings related to walking are presented here. Record:Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2299(1),48-56. The results were modeled to validate factors that form perceived barriers to walking,including distance,steep inclines,darkness,crime and precipitation. Ignoring steep slopes means that the impact of associated model features, like curvilinear and cul-de-sac street layouts, are diluted. It is notable that other scholarly literature on the subject of walkability does not account for inclimate weather or steep topography. The affect of urban design, land use diversity and development density on the walking network was examined by the authors to determine what factors influence decisions to take walking trips. Urban design was quantified by assessing block size and intersection density; diversity of land uses was characterized by an absence of homogeneous residential neighborhoods; and, density was related to a concentration of population and variety of destinations.Study findings demonstrated that number of cars per household and physical disabilities reduced walking trips while a diverse mix of land uses and greater development densities promoted walking. The authors found that urban form exerts a modest influence on travel behavior — more so than demographics or distance and travel time. Ability to access destinations and a welcoming pedestrian environment were cited as the most important factors influencing pedestrian activity by Tal and Handy. Walkability is an important element of urban design that can replace auto trips.It is a measure of the quality of the pedestrian environment encompassing safety, comfort and enjoyment. The authors characterize accessibility as a function of network connectivity, which limits out-of- direction travel and shortens travel distances. The authors found that when the street network is combined with a robust off-street trail network,walking was preferred for trips under a '/2 mile.

Increased walkability would be achieved through various strategies, such as prioritizing fixing gaps in the current sidewalk and trail system to create a more complete network of pedestrian facilities. While these plans and policies demonstrate a clear mandate to increase walkability, there are other transportation priorities which may produce outcomes detrimental to walkability. The need to reduce traffic congestion and enhance vehicular capacity through wider roads and higher speeds, or facilitate the movement of large trucks through wide turning radii at intersections, negatively impacts walkability,and balancing these competing priorities requires careful consideration. • Excerpt- Tigard 2035 Transportation System P/an Excerpt- Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian P/an Goal 1 - Land Use and Transportation Coordination -Develop mutually Vision: The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan envisions a transportation GOAL: to provide safe, accessible and convenient bicycling and walking supportive land use and transportation plans to enhance the livability of the system where: facilities and to support and encourage increased levels of bicycling and community. • People can bicycle or walk safely and conveniently to all destinations walking. • Policy 1 - The City shall prioritize transportation projects according to within reasonable walking or bicycling distance. community benefit, such as safety,performance,and accessibility,as well • People can walk or ride to and from their transit stops and have a ACTION 1: Provide bikeway and walkway systems that are integrated with as the associated costs and impacts. comfortable and convenient place to wait or transfer. other transportation systems. • Policy 2 -The City shall maintain and enhance transportation • Touring bicyclists can enjoy Oregon's natural beauty on roads and • STRATEGY 1A.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/10/2014 Length (in minutes): 15 Minutes Agenda Title: Approve Google Hut License Agreement Template Prepared For: Lorcen Mills Submitted By: Carol Krager, City Management Item Type: Resolution Meeting Type: Council Business Meeting - Main Public Hearing No Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Should the City approve a region-wide negotiated Network Hut Site Agreement template to guide future negotiations of possible Hut placement by Google Fiber Oregon, LLC on Tigard-owned water utility sites? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approval of the region-wide negotiated Google Hut Placement Agreement template and recognition that final approval of a Hut site on city-owned land will require further negotiations for each site located within the City of Tigard. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Today quality of life is linked not only to natural beauty, adequate jobs, access to housing, great education and opportunities but also access to a digital infrastructure that makes all of these elements possible and sustainable. Recent research and studies indicate that connecting a community and region to faster broadband solutions can bring significant economic, social, cultural and personal benefits to residents and business. Broadband will better-connect our community and provide enhanced opportunity to compete regionally and globally in a variety of arenas. Google Fiber recently announced its desire to work with six cities in the Portland-metro area ('Tigard, Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego and Gresham) to build a broadband network which would provide one (1) gigabit per second of broadband service to homes and home-based businesses. Google reports this speed to be over one hundred (100) times faster than the capacity of most internet providers today. In partnership with other regional cities, Tigard has provided information to Google for their evaluation. Google will take the next several months to review information about permitting, construction, local and state laws and utility franchise requirements to determine network design and fiber route planning options for the region if they conclude it is financially beneficial for them to build a network. By the end of 2014, Google reports it will announce which Portland-metro area cities, if any, will receive Google fiber service. Google's network design focuses on the use of network fiber rings around the region with "huts" being placed in locations which will each serve about 20,000 households and control the receipt and transmission of signals to the households. Google reports they are also exploring the possibility of deploying Wi-Fi service in the region and Tigard will discuss this with them. Tigard currently provides limited free Wi-Fi service at the City Hall, Police Department, Library and in the downtown area. Google will determine where to place fiber network huts. It's anticipated there could be up to two (2) huts inside Tigard city limits. Google has indicated a desire to place these huts on city-owned land and negotiate a Hut License Agreement with each individual city. The cities in the region have worked together and negotiated with Google to develop a license agreement template which will be used by each city as they undertake negotiations with Google for hut placement. This template is designed to be tailored by each city to address site and city specific issues in Exhibit B. There is no requirement that Tigard place huts on city-owned land, however, the template provides parameters for the discussion should there be land that would be available for this use. Tigard will consider city-owned sites which have already received approval for utility use purposes. A site-specific agreement will address: esthetic matters such as screening and visual impact; protection of the city's use of the site for city utilities including security; easements; set back requirements; and other items important to Tigard. The attached Hut License Agreement template has been approved as to form by Google, staff liaisons from the six regional cities and has received legal review by our City Attorney. Google requires Council approve the agreement template before it will enter into site-specific negotiations with the City. OTHER ALTERNATIVES N/A COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS Tigard Broadband Service Provision - Council continues to annually approve budget authority to provide limited free Wi-Fi Services in city parks, the Library, City Hall and other city owned buildings and the Downtown Main Street area.

KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The yearly Pavement Management Program (PMP) protects the city's investment in street infrastructure. The program typically includes a combination of minor maintenance projects (slurry seal applications) and major maintenance and rehabilitation projects (pavement overlays). In a payment overlay project, the pavement on a street has deteriorated due to traffic usage and weather, and is at the point where pavement repairs and overlays are necessary to avoid further deterioration and return the street to a good condition. Work under the project will include: •Construction of asphaltic concrete inlays and overlays •Asphalt concrete removal (grinding) and repair •Adjustment of facilities to match new pavement level •Applying sealant along pavement edges and joints •Temporary signage, protection, and traffic control •Striping and pavement marking •Construction of concrete curbs and ramps •Performance of additional and incidental work as called for by the specifications and plans.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Approve the FY 2014 Fourth Quarter Supplemental Budget Amendment. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The following is the list of items requiring council action: 1.

A mechanical error within the city's budget system occurred when entering employee wages and benefits causing a$70,000 budget shortfall.A request in the amount of$70,000 in additional appropriations is needed to correct this error. As of May,revenue collections for the Stormwater Fund are better than anticipated by approximately$276,000 above budget.Therefore,the fund has capacity to handle the request for additional appropriation. Approval of this supplemental budget will increase the budgeted reserves for future expenditures in the Stormwater Fund by$206,000. 2- Central Service Fund -A request for$61,000 of additional appropriations is being made to account for two unanticipated occurrences within the City Recorder/Records Division.An approximate total of$17,000 is needed for legal fees related to unexpected elections and initiatives including the update of the Urban Renewal Charter in November.Also,an additional$44,000 is needed to cover the November and March election costs for Ballot Measures 34-207 and 34-210.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/10/2014 Length (in minutes): 15 Minutes Agenda Title: Public Hearing - Adopt City of Tigard Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Prepared For: Toby LaFrance Submitted By: Liz Lutz, Financial and Information Services Item Type: Resolution Meeting Type: Council Business Meeting- Main Public Hearing Yes Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication 05/22/2014 Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Oregon local budget law requires that a budget for the following fiscal year (FY) be adopted by the City Council prior to the start of the FY on July 1. Budget adoption occurs after approval by the Budget Committee and during a public hearing held by the City Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends adoption of the Approved FY 2014-2015 budget, with any adjustments made by City Council during the hearing. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Tigard Budget Committee (comprised of the City Council and five citizens) held 2 meetings on the City Manager's Proposed FY2014-2015 budget in April, 2014. On April 28, 2014, the Budget Committee approved the Proposed Budget, with adjustments and forwarded the Approved Budget to the City Council for adoption. Oregon Budget Law gives the governing body of the jurisdiction authority to make certain changes in the Approved Budget prior to adoption. The City Council may adjust expenditures up or down as long as the increase in a fund does not exceed 10% of the approved budget for that fund. The individual funds are shown on the Schedule of Appropriations attached to the Resolution. The total FY 2014-2015 City of Tigard Approved Budget is $247,596,655, including appropriations of$167,681,406 with the remaining $79,915,249 comprising the city's reserve for future expenditures. Staff has included 2 additional Technical Adjustments totaling $7,345,701 in appropriations to the approved budget for council to consider. Neither of the adjustments exceeds 10% of any impacted fund. These Technical Adjustments are detailed in the document attached to this agenda item. Lastly, staff has some adjustments to the revenue forecast outlined in the attached "Summary of Revenue Changes to the 2014-2019 Financial Forecasts" document attached to this agenda item. These revenue adjustments are in a separate document because they do not impact the FY 2015 appropriations in the Exhibit A and there are sufficient resources to support the FY 2015 budget. The changes do impact the available resources by a total of$2.8 million, or 1.1 percent. There will be a corresponding decrease in reserves for future expenditures. While the changes in the revenue forecasts do not impact FY 2015 appropriations, staff is recommending changes in funding for two Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects in FY 2017 and FY 2018. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Alternatives are limited by Oregon Law. Council can change the Approved Budget by up to 10% in any fund; however, by Oregon Law, the FY 2014-2015 budget must be adopted by the City Council prior to July 1, 2014. COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS The Approved Budget includes funding necessary to move the council focus strategies ahead. DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION Budget Committee dates: April 21, April 28, 2014 as part of the Budget Committee meetings. Attachments Resolution Exhibit A Technical Adjustments Revenue Adjustments to the Financial Forecast it Summary of Revenue Changes to the 2014- 19 Financial Forecasts Summary According to Oregon Budget Law,council adopts appropriations (expenditures) and not revenues. However,the revenues are important in the budget process as they represent the resources of the city to implement policy as represented through the appropriations. The revenues are forecasted early in the budget process using various inputs including audited actuals through FY 2013. As the budget process progresses and the city approaches the end of FY 2014, the forecast is monitored and compared to year-to- date actuals in FY 2014. Staff recently revisited the forecasts of city's more significant funds. One of the common findings is that development related revenues in FY 2013 were inflated by a couple of large projects,making FY 2013 an overly optimistic starting point for the revenue forecast. Based on the findings,staff has proposed adjustments to the revenue forecasts in the following table. The information presented here is for Council information and to document changes from the materials approved by the Budget Committee. Please note,the recommended changes have no effect on FY 2015 appropriations. In all cases,after these revenue changes are implemented, there are still sufficient resources to support the FY 2015 appropriations. Two of the changes do have an effect in the out years of the financial forecasts that result in recommended changes to out years of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).The affected funds and CIP projects are as follows: Fund Finding Recommended Change Building Forecasted revenues were overstated Revenues were reduced by$200,000 based on 11 due to the inclusion of a large,one-time months of actuals generated during FY 2014. permit for Walmart.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends the LCRB authorize the replacement of the five vehicles. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Public Works fleet management specifications call for the replacement of police vehicles at four years of age, mileage in excess of 75,000, or when operation and maintenance (0 & M) costs begin to outweigh the annual value of the vehicle. Given these criteria, the department has identified five Ford Crown Victoria models that should be replaced in FY 2015. Based on actual mileage during the FY 2015 budget preparation period, and factoring in annual mileage projections for each vehicle, each of the above vehicles will reach 87,000 to 100,000 miles by the end of FY 2015, which is considerably more than the recommended mileage limit of 75,000. Further, each of the five vehicles will be at least four years of age. Timely replacement of vehicles prevents excessive maintenance and repair costs, significantly reduces inefficiencies from down time when the vehicle is not available for use, and prevents a vehicle from becoming unsafe to drive. The replacement vehicles will be purchased through the State of Oregon contract, thus assuring competitive pricing and saving the city the cost and time of preparing a solicitation. OTHER ALTERNATIVES The LCRB could choose not to approve the replacement of the police vehicles and provide staff with direction on some other course of action. COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS Not applicable DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION This is the first time this purchase has come before the LCRB. Fiscal Impact Cost: $151,081 Budgeted (yes or no): Yes Where Budgeted (department/program): Police Operations Additional Fiscal Notes: The fiscal year 2014-15 approved budget contains $151,081 in the police operations budget to purchase these replacement vehicles. If the budget is adopted as approved, then appropriations exist for this purchase. If the budget is not adopted, then the purchases will not be made. Attachments Explorer Quote PURCHASE ORDER NO.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 06/10/2014 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the County Continuing the City's Participation in the CDBG Program Submitted By: Marissa Grass, Community Development Item Type: Resolution Meeting Type: Council Business Meeting - Main Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Should the Council authorize the city manager to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Washington County continuing the city's participation in the county Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Authorize the City Manager to execute the IGA KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Office of Community Development manages the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) for Washington County. Both programs are funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Attachment 1 provides a program overview for additional details. The Washington County CDBG consortium consists of jurisdictions, which are signatories to the Urban County Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement, as required by HUD. This includes the county itself and all of the municipalities therein, with the exception of the City of Beaverton. The city last entered into a three-year Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement with Washington County to continue our partnership in the CDBG program in 2011. While the existing agreement contains an automatic renewal clause, HUD's recent guidance necessitates changes to the legal document. These changes are described in Attachment 2. In brief, the changes to the IGA include detailing the statutory references related to compliance with federal laws, new language clarifying prohibitions on the selling, trading or transferring CDBG funds, updating HUD's address and housekeeping edits. Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to sign the IGA, continuing our participation in the County Consortium. As the city surpasses a residential population of 50,000, Tigard will qualify to become an eligible grantee for Entitlement Grants under HUD's CDBG program. Staff believes it is unlikely that leaving the consortium to become an eligible grantee will result in larger allocations of funding to the city. HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grant by a statutory dual formula which uses several objective measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas. Further, eligible grantees are required to prepare Consolidated Plans, Financial Management Plans, and conduct Performance Measurement, Reporting, Recordkeeping and Monitoring activities. The overhead in time and expense is considerable for eligible grantees. For these reasons, staff recommends continuing to participate in the County Consortium with all other Washington County cities, excepting Beaverton. OTHER ALTERNATIVES City Council's options are: 1. To authorize the City Manager to sign the IGA 2. To "opt out" of the County FY 2015-2017 qualification period (running from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018). An election for exclusion is binding for the entire three-year period. Should the council not approve the agreement, the city would be ineligible to participate in the county's program. COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION une 14, 2011 Attachments CDBG Program Overview Letter from Washington County Resolution IGA NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Program Overview Started forty years ago in 1974 by President Gerald Ford, the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is one of the longest running programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Cities and urban counties, such as Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Washington County, also known as entitlement communities, are required to submit a Consolidated Plan to establish goals to pursue with CDBG funds. The projects identified in the Consolidated Plan must fall under the realm of local community development activities such as affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, public facilities and infrastructure development. Grantees are also required to hold public meetings in order to hear directly from members of the community about where their more urgent needs lie. These projects must also align with the national objectives set forth by HUD; "benefit Benefit low- and moderate-income persons low- and moderate-income persons, prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or address community development needs Prevention or elimination of slums or blight having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate Address urgent community development needs threat to the health and welfare of the community for which other funding is not available." In Washington County high priority projects include: • Projects in which 100% of the rental units are affordable to households earning 50% MFI or less. • Projects in which 100% of the homeownership households are affordable to households earning - - 60% MFI or less. • • Preservation of existing subsidized rental housing ,. units. • Housing rehabilitation activities for low/mod-income , L� households, including accessibility improvements. { • Housing for special needs populations: Elderly/frail elderly, persons with disabilities (severe mental illness, dual diagnosis, developmentally disabled, physically disabled), farmworkers, and released offenders. • Permanent housing (for homeless) and homeless services (projects that implement strategies in the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness). CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Overview 1 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Washington County receives CDBG funding each year to award to projects throughout the County, except those located within the City of Beaverton. Both the City of Beaverton and the City of Hillsboro qualify as separate entitlement communities. The City of Hillsboro has remained a member of the County's CDBG consortium, while the City of Beaverton became an independent entitlement in 1994. Washington County operates an annual competitive funding cycle based on an allocation formula approved in our Consolidated Plan. Cities, County departments and non-profit agencies are eligible to apply for funding under three categories: Public facilities, public infrastructure, and public services. In addition, the County sets aside funds to support housing rehabilitation efforts to preserve the existing affordable housing inventory. Washington County's allocation formula is as follows: Total Annual Budget "Other" Program -- Categories ices Other Infrastructure 656 30% ab The City of Beaverton sets aside a portion of funding each year for non-competitive programs including housing rehabilitation and facade improvement projects. Fifteen percent of the CDBG annual award is combined with State Revenue Sharing Funds to create a pool of competitive funds that are reviewed by the City's Social Services Funding Committee. All other housing, economic development and public facility projects compete for remaining funds. Generally applications are due in December and successful applications are recommended for funding through the Annual Action Plan approval process and City budgeting process in the spring.

Attached are the revised Intergovernmental Agreements that need to be placed on your Council's agenda for authorization and approval. In summary, the changes include: • More detailed statutory references under 1I.3 (required by HUD) • New language regarding use of funds under 111.8 (required by HUD) • Updating HUD's new address • Housing keeping edits Approval of this document should take place as soon as possible but no later than June 20. 2014.

Aloha Church of God North Plains Senior Center NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Program Overview Started forty years ago in 1974 by President Gerald Ford, the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is one of the longest running programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Cities and urban counties, such as Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Washington County, also known as entitlement communities,are required to submit a Consolidated Plan to establish goals to pursue with CDBG funds. The projects identified in the Consolidated Plan must fall under the realm of local community development activities such as affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, public facilities and infrastructure development. Grantees are also required to hold public meetings in order to hear directly from members of the community about where their more urgent needs lie. These projects must also align with the national objectives set forth by HUD: benefit Benefit low- and moderate-income persons low- and moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate areas of slum or blight, or address community development needs Prevention or elimination of slums or blight having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate Address urgent community development needs threat to the health and welfare of the community for which other funding is not available. In Washington County high priority projects include: • Projects in which 100% of the rental units are affordable to households earning 50%MFI or less. • Projects in which 100% of the homeownership households are affordable to households earning , w 60% MFI or less. - • Preservation of existing subsidized rental housing } units. • Housing rehabilitation activities for low/mod-income , households, including accessibility improvements. • Housing for special needs populations: Elderly/frail elderly, persons with disabilities (severe mental illness, dual diagnosis, developmentally disabled, physically disabled), farmworkers, and released offenders. • Permanent housing (for homeless) and homeless services (projects that implement strategies in the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness). CDBG:40 Years of Building Strong Communities Overview 1 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Washington County receives CDBG funding each year to award to projects throughout the County, except those located within the City of Beaverton. Both the City of Beaverton and the City of Hillsboro qualify as separate entitlement communities. The City of Hillsboro has remained a member of the County's CDBG consortium, while the City of Beaverton became an independent entitlement in 1994. Washington County operates an annual competitive funding cycle based on an allocation formula approved in our Consolidated Plan. Cities, County departments and non-profit agencies are eligible to apply for funding under three categories: Public facilities, public infrastructure, and public services. In addition, the County sets aside funds to support housing rehabilitation and weatherization efforts to preserve the existing affordable housing inventory. Washington County's allocation formula is as follows: Total Annual Budget "Other" Program Categories Pu Public Services Facilitie • 1591, 40%t Other I nfastructure 65% 30% 20% Housing R ab 30"/, Aft The City of Beaverton sets aside a portion of funding each year for non-competitive programs including housing rehabilitation and facade improvement projects. Fifteen percent of the CDBG annual award is combined with State Revenue Sharing Funds to create a pool of competitive funds that are reviewed by the City's Social Services Funding Committee. All other housing, economic development and public facility projects compete for remaining funds. Generally applications are due in December and successful applications are recommended for funding through the Annual Action Plan approval process and City budgeting process in the spring.

The lip ,� agency received a PY 2010 CDBG 'I ,.. award of $554,087 to assist in the ° td -- construction of a new clinical office and administrative building for the _ agency in conjunction with the new adjacent affordable housing project, Spruce Place. The construction of the new larger clinic allowed the agency to combine multiple smaller, scattered offices into one more centrally located office that has become the main center of the agency's operations. The 14,500 sq. ft. clinic offers outpatient mental health services to persons with severe and persistent mental illness in the area, as well as onsite mental health services to the residents of Spruce Place. The project includes on site storm water retention, high efficiency mechanical systems, ENERGY STAR rated appliances and low-VOC materials. The clinic portion of the project utilized funding from CDBG, State of Oregon SNAP bond financing, agency resources, and a $346,500 special appropriations grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). 2.

Oregon Housing and Community Services Public Trust Fund financed a significant portion of the building costs. Community Services, Inc. also contributed approximately $850,000 in matching funds. Federal and State law creates an excellent publically financed system of comprehensive support services for IDD citizens, under Medicaid and Social Security Administration policy, but neither fund capital projects such as this 60 year public fund project. It is very difficult for most IDD Service Providers, such as Community Services, Inc. to carry a debt load large enough to buy property and build or significantly remodel homes that satisfy housing requirements for persons with severe IDD. CDBG awards to organizations such as CSI are essential to helping solve the capital finance need for these high cost IDD group homes.

Tour 12 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK I Public Facilities Projects NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Albertina Kerr: Group Homes Albertina Kerr has received several CDBG awards over the years for the purpose of acquiring group homes to serve youth living with developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental health challenges. In Washington County, the need for group homes that can provide 24-hour care and treatment for these children far exceeds the present capacity. According to the Oregon Developmental Disabilities Coalition, many eligible children, struggling with both a developmental disability and mental health y� challenges, are waitlisted to receive critical • services. The State of Oregon and Medicaid 7! ,* provide the majority of funding for the ongoing --- 1 operation of the group home; however, this funding provides only the most basic care. _ Making additional funding available by purchasing t the home instead of renting provides a significant * ,.,--~-• cost savings and allows the Agency to go above and beyond this basic level of service to their clients. City of Beaverton: Casey's Corner m,i. Food Pantry ^; .. Murray Hills Christian Church applied for $22,500 b in PY 2010 CDBG funds for improvements to its I ' food pantry, Casey's Corner.

Sixty low to moderate-income --•- ,-- .mom persons living in the area were served by the project by providing safer pedestrian access for children walking to school. Census data showed a 71% poverty rate for the area and that 35% were Hispanic/Latino; Joseph Gale Elementary School reported that year that 53.3% of their students were on a free or reduced lunch program. City of Tigard: Garrett Street and Sidewalks The City of Tigard received $141,790 in PY 2009 CDBG funds to construct 795 lineal feet of new in-fill sidewalks along the north-side of Garrett Street between Highway 99W and SW Ash Avenue. Garrett Street is a neighborhood street that principally serves low to moderate-income persons who live in adjacent affordable apartments or • single-family homes. "Gaps" along the �P j 16� street had created hazards for both 11011 pedestrians and drivers. The need for safety along this street became apparent when data obtained from Tri- Met and the local school district indicated that approximately 100 -- t. persons daily board buses at the Tri-Met stop located along Highway 99W, and that 23 elementary, middle, and high school students were picked up and dropped off at five school bus stops located along this street. The project benefitted approximately 193 low to moderate-income persons living in the project area. Infrastructure 2 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK City of Gaston: Water Reservoir The City of Gaston received $689,000 in PY 2006 CDBG funding to construct a new one- •million gallon water reservoir. , The water needs of the in community exceeded that which could be provided by the smaller = 300,000 gallon reservoir that was 1 built in 1979. The new tank was constructed adjacent to the existing tank, which was kept online until construction of the new reservoir was complete. 111 Upon completion of the new r tank, the old tank was taken out of service so that it could be recoated inside and out and put back in service to provide a back-up water supply for the community. A survey of the Gaston Water Service district area indicated that 527 persons benefitted from the project, and that 48%of those persons were low- or moderate-income. King City: Cul de Sac Resurfacing King City is a planned community for seniors that was originally constructed in the 1960s. Many of the cul de sacs had not been improved since initial N. 7/Alik i — _� 7, - ; construction and were in a deteriorated state. PY 2007 CDBG funding provided __ $35,000 to resurface three cul de sacs by .risi removing existing asphalt and replacing ti with 2" thick overlay of new asphaltic concrete. A survey of the area indicated lie II that 27 persons would benefit from the project, and that 55% of those persons were low- or moderate-income. Additionally, King City received $40,000 in PY 2008 CDBG funding to replace four more cul de sac roadways that had a significant number of potholes and cracking due to surface settling that posed a hazard to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. A survey of the area indicated that 25 persons would benefit from the project, and 72%, of those persons were low- to moderate-income. CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Infrastructure 3 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Washington County: Sell and Turk Road Resurfacing Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation (DLUT) received $220,000 in PY 2008 CDBG funds to improve portions of Sell Road and Turk Roads by converting the roads from a gravel surface to a chip seal hard surface. These narrow roads are located in a rural area of unincorporated Washington County, near the community of Manning. The need for surface repairs became most obvious during the winter months, when roads became muddy, thereby creating large potholes and corrugation (washboards). During the summer months, the roads' surface created a severe amount of dust when vehicles traveled over them, impeding the driver's visibility and obscuring their view of the road ahead. Other project elements included widening the road, repairing soft spots, cleaning,and re-establishing roadside ditches, and repairing and replacing cross culverts and driveway tiles along 15,464 lineal feet of the roadway. The improvements have effectively increased driver safety along these stretches of the roadway and have also helped to reduce roadway flooding. A survey of the area indicated that 87 persons benefitted from the project, and that 48%of those persons were low- or moderate-income. Washington County: SW 173rd Ave Sidewalks in Aloha Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation (DLUT) received a CDBG award of :., . .. , $191,663 in 2012 to install missing sections of sidewalk along SW 173rd Avenue. The project provides an -- additional 1,452 linear feet of sidewalk infill within the public right-of-way on SW 173rd Avenue, between Florence and Shaw Streets, resulting in continuous sidewalks from Shaw Street to Farmington Road, and safe access to k" TriMet bus stops on Farmington and on Tualatin Valley Highway (Hwy 8), and the Aloha Huber Park elementary school on SW 173rd Avenue. s The project is estimated to benefit �. approximately 837 low/moderate income -,. . A 1 persons in the service area which is part of the Aloha-Reedville study area. A major planning effort funded by a $500,000 HUD Sustainable Communities Challenge and a $1.5 million US Department of Transportation TIGER 2 grant identified sidewalks as a high priority need for residents of this community. CDBG funding in turn resulted in implementation of community- identified priorities. eV Infrastructure 4 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities 6711 -••„....\ G E O G R A P H I C I N F O R M A T I O N S Y S T EM ,T ""---______,.

The total development cost of the project will be approximately $10.7 million with 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity providing the majority of the financing. The Barcelona also has eight Project- Based Section 8 vouchers from the Washington County Department of Housing Services. As one of Washington County's designated Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO), CPAH was also awarded a $100,000 predevelopment loan for this project from Washington County as well as a $44,000 predevelopment loan from the Community Housing Fund. After receiving tax credit financing in November 2013, construction of this project is expected to commence in September 2014. The entire one-block development will include 47 affordable units developed by CPAH and 56 market- rate units developed by a for-profit developer. This project meets the Consolidated Plan goal for projects serving seniors and individuals with special needs, as well as a rental project in which 100% of units are affordable to households earning 50% of the median family income or less for Washington County. REACH: The Orchards at Orenco, Phase II Phase II of The Orchards at Ill ..a Orenco is a 57-unit rental housing _ development representing the ,to m# - ,1 second of a three-phase transit- WPM t s 1_`- - oriented new construction project :1 - ; on 6.2 acres in the Orenco Station 1 • t neighborhood in the City of Hillsboro. The project sponsor, . -- M REACH Community Development, CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Housing 1 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Inc. (REACH) was successful in obtaining a 2014 HOME award of $750,000 and expects to need up to $1.5 million in HOME funds for the project. The total development cost of the project will be approximately $13.2 million with 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity providing the majority of the financing, as well as grants from the State of Oregon and a permanent loan.The construction start date depends on when REACH is able to secure tax credit financing to pay for a large portion of the construction costs. REACH is expected to apply to Oregon Housing and Community Services by the summer of 2014 for 9% tax credit financing for the project. This project meets the Consolidated Plan goal for a rental project in which 100% of units are affordable to households earning 50% of the median family income or less for Washington County. Bienestar: Cornelius Place Cornelius Place is a planned 41-unit rental housing development for low-income seniors at a site owned by the City of Cornelius at N. Adair Street and N. 14th Avenue, adjacent to the City Council Chambers. This development is unique in that the housing will be located in two stories above a new Cornelius Community Library on the first floor. The project presents multigenerational synergies in the development of a library across the street from an elementary school with seniors residing above the library. This project meets a Consolidated Plan goal of serving seniors as well as providing rental housing that serves households earning 50% of the median family income or less for Washington County. The City of Cornelius and Bienestar are partnering on the development of the site. While the development team still seeks project financing, it is anticipated that Bienestar and the City of Cornelius will utilize predevelopment loans from Washington County and the Community Housing Fund, state-issued financing for the library, a future request for HOME development funds from Washington County, a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit and private foundations and grants to comprise the sources needed for the total development costs.The city has successfully obtained $2.4 million in lottery backed bonds for the construction of the library. rit IIBNANY 4 111J -mom Housing 2 CDBG:40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Washington County Housing Rehabilitations Programs: Home Access and Repair for the Disabled & Elderly (HARDE) The HARDE program provides grants to low-income ,,. disabled or elderly Washington County (with _ - exception of Beaverton) residents to make urgent -____Lii 1 ) ( ., repairs or accessibility improvements to their homes.

Rebuilding Together Rebuilding Together is a volunteer housing rehabilitation/preservation organization that provides home repairs for low-income homeowners in Washington County with a focus on serving the elderly, disabled, and families with dependent children. Repairs may include carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, painting, accessibility modifications, removal of trash, etc. Where appropriate, many of these jobs are done by technically skilled volunteers such as carpenters, electricians, and plumbers. Major rehabilitation efforts culminate on National Rebuilding Day, which is always the last Saturday in April CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Housing 3 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK each year. On this day, Rebuilding Together assists 15-34 homes that have been selected throughout Washington County. Since 2003, Washington County has allocated $120,000 to support this program. Community Action Self-Help Weatherization The Self-help Weatherization Program provides energy conservation education and training in the uses of weatherization materials to reduce high heating costs of income-qualified families. Community Action also conducts energy conservation and weatherization training for individual clients and group energy conservation workshops and supplies low cost weatherization materials to qualified clients. They work with homeowners, property managers and tenants of single-family homes and multi-family buildings. Since 2003, Washington County has allocated almost$300,000 to support this program. Community Action Comprehensive Weatherization The Comprehensive Weatherization Program weatherizes homes of low-income families to reduce residential energy costs and works in tandem with the Self-help Weatherization program. The comprehensive weatherization process includes conducting an energy audit to assess household energy usage, air leakage, and tests for indoor air quality. Licensed private contractors install the approved energy efficiency measures. The primary goal is to help families lower their utility bills and improve the energy efficiency, safety and comfort of their home. Since 2003, Washington County has allocated $241,000 to support this program.

Washington County provided $31,380 in PY 2013 CDBG funding to support the educational needs of children living in the shelter.The project will serve 270 homeless children over a three year period. In addition to emergency shelter, Good Neighbor Center runs a Housing Stabilization Program in partnership with the Washington County Department of Housing Services, which helps families secure and maintain affordable housing after exiting the shelter. City of Beaverton and Washington County: Community Action Basic Needs/Emergency Rent Assistance Community Action assists low-income individuals and families who are at risk of losing their homes by distributing emergency assistance to qualifying households throughout Washington County. For families who are already cash-strapped and living paycheck to paycheck, one ordinary unexpected expense or reduction in income can be the difference between their ability to pay rent or not. Once a family begins to fall behind, they can incur additional fees and penalties which make it even more difficult to catch up, resulting in eviction and setting into motion a downward spiral that can lead to homelessness. Community Action provides one-time emergency assistance payments not to exceed $500 to a landlord on behalf of a client. Community Action staff negotiates with landlords for reduction/forgiveness of fees or back rent which may have accrued. Payments are made directly to landlords, and clients are also screened for and referred to other services which can help them including energy assistance, energy conservation workshops and tenant education classes. The project acts as a safety net to ensure that families in crisis do not lose the level of self-sufficiency they have struggled to maintain. CDBG:40 Years of Building Strong Communities Public Services 1 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Since 2003, over $170,000 in Washington County CDBG funds have helped provide one-time, direct assistance to over 8,600 individuals and families at risk of losing their housing. Personnel costs of the program are covered by matching state funds. This program addresses Goal 2.2 from the Washington County 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness, but lack of funding limits the program's ability to meet the overwhelming need. Additional funding is desperately needed to support this program that helps families stay in their home and prevent the costly burden of eviction and homelessness. The City of Beaverton has provided over$154,462 in CDBG funding since PY 2008 to support Community Action's emergency rent program, which has served over 4,000 Beaverton residents since 2008. City of Beaverton and Washington County: Boys & Girls Aid Safe Place for Youth There are a growing number of youth in Washington County who are leaving their homes because of unstable living conditions or who are becoming adults with no housing resources. Many youth become homeless because of family problems such as violence or abuse, drug and alcohol dependencies, lack of consistent shelter and appropriate supervision, problems in school, or their parents' poverty and/or homelessness. Youth who are homeless in Washington County often lack access to affordable housing and skills development that are essential to their ability to establish stability and self-sufficiency. During their stay, the youth receive a wide variety of wraparound supports to help them stabilize during their time of crisis. Boys and Girls Aid has received ongoing CDBG support from both Washington County and the City of Beaverton since • 2008 to provide emergency overnight shelter for homeless and runaway youth at ' r 1 hi ® • `u` 0`" ' the Safe Place shelter in Hillsboro. In addition to shelter, Safe Place provides II _ case management services to help its - youth learn daily living skills in preparation for transition into permanent housing. The 0 it wrap-around services that youth receive are aimed at helping each individual achieve self-sufficiency in areas such as job L readiness, healthy relationships, nutrition, anger management, arts and crafts, grocery shopping, sewing, using public transportation, voting, etc. Services that are initiated during the youth's time in the program are available on a long-term basis after exiting the program. Washington County has awarded $150,000 to the agency since PY 2011 to serve an estimated 290 homeless youth annually. The City has awarded Boys& Girls Aid $94,377 in CDBG funding since PY 2008. Over 125 Beaverton youth have accessed shelter services at Safe Place during this time period. Public Services 2 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK City of Beaverton and Washington County: Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) and Bienestar Resident Services As part of the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan, both Washington County and the City of - -, Beaverton approved a resident services set "I;,, _ i � aside within the public services funding pool to 1,-. -�-+ help increase self-sufficiency for residents of 1 ...-4-0 affordable housing properties. The City of Beaverton funds Community I p lail : Partners for Affordable Housing to provide J ( I f \ ' . : resident services at Spencer House and Fircrest " : , Manor Apartments. These services connect *m=: IlY residents to nutritional programs, skill building, youth and tutoring programs. On average, 143 residents a year receive resident services made , possible through City of Beaverton CDBG " funding. Washington County funds resident services provided by CPAH and Bienstar at their properties throughout Washington County, which includes after school and summer youth programs, homework help and summer lunch programs, monthly food distribution, community garden activities, seasonal activities, life skills classes, onsite recovery groups, partnerships with service providers to help residents maintain their housing stability, and outreach services to encourage participation in resident service programs. An average of 1,600 persons a year receive resident services made possible through Washington County CDBG funding. City of Beaverton and Washington County: CASA for Children a { In order to protect the interests of children that { have been abused and neglected, the State of 1 At\iditIlj,11. 1 Oregon state legislature has mandated the 0111 existence of Court Appointed Special Advocates \ (CASA). In 2011, 1,173 children in Washington County spent at least one day in protective foster care as wards of the Juvenile Court 4 ' " system. Each of these children had been removed from their homes due to abuse and/or r 4 neglect by an adult in their home or immediate environment. CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Public Services 3 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK CASA is the only existing program in Washington County that provides court-appointed trained volunteer advocates to children who are wards of the juvenile courts and need permanent homes because they have been victims of abuse and/or neglect by an adult in their home environment. Studies have indicated that when a CASA volunteer is appointed to a child's case, that child has a better chance of receiving appropriate services and is more likely to have regular review by the court and overall, spend less time in the foster care system. Washington County's CDBG program has provided $232,336 since 2005 to CASA's mission to serve at least 60 children in Washington County each year who are living in foster care. The City of Beaverton's CDBG social services have provided support to the CASA program since PY 2000 providing over$200,000 in CDBG and locally-funded grants. Washington County: Impact NW, Senior GAP Impact NW provides senior guardianship, conservatorship and money management services to low and moderate income seniors throughout Washington County. With a growing aging population, and no widely available option for guardian, conservator and money management services for low- income seniors and people with disabilities, the situation is more critical than ever to address the needs of this vulnerable, high risk population. While many seniors are typically able to manage their own financial affairs, there comes a time when taking care of finances and making important life decisions can become overwhelming. Common examples are seniors forgetting to pay their bills, missing mortgage payments or finding that they have more bills than money. They can ruin their credit, lose their homes, suffer from self-neglect, and perhaps most disturbingly,fall subject to predatory lending practices or scams. Seniors who do not have an available, trustworthy family member, friend or a caring support system are even more vulnerable for abuse and exploitation. CDBG funds in past years has allowed Impact NW Senior GAP to hire a Volunteer Coordinator who supervises volunteers who provide services to the low-income elderly such as financial management, bill paying services, yard work and minor home maintenance. Senior GAP works to engage seniors in socializing activities and events and increase community involvement to help enrich the lives of seniors in Washington County. Over 100 seniors receive services each year. Washington County: Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW), HopeSpring LCSNW runs HopeSpring, a 12-month transitional housing program for homeless women and children. The foundation of the HopeSpring program is to provide stable housing with wraparound services for women who are survivors of domestic violence and/or in recovery from substance abuse. Many of the mothers come into the program with the need to recover from a considerable amount of trauma/abuse, Public Services 4 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK which often is what has led them into the crisis of homelessness. The women who are accepted into the program have minimal work experience, low education, and little experience as sober parents. In addition, many of the mothers have been separated from their children due to drug/alcohol abuse and this presents a challenge in reuniting the families. The provision of childcare subsidies allows the women to participate in activities which address barriers to self-sufficiency, attend required meetings, participate in job preparation activities through the Department of Human Services and secure employment. The mental health services are also crucial to helping these women address barriers to self-sufficiency, family safety and the ability to maintain stable housing. CDBG funds generally pay for childcare subsidies and mental health services (two critical components of the HopeSpring program) as well as personnel costs for case management and program coordination. At least 130 women and children are served by the program each year. Washington County: Homeplate Youth Services HomePlate has received CDBG support over the years to work with homeless youth helping them gain access to specialized services, including education, housing, parenting, mental health, medical and substance abuse counseling services, and employment. Many homeless youth are forced to leave their homes because of violence, abuse, mental illness, failure to thrive in school, family poverty, sexual orientation that is unacceptable to their parents, drug and alcohol dependencies, teen pregnancy, negative foster care experiences or problems in school. Other youth become homeless because of economic instability in the home, or because of their parent's homelessness. Once exposed to an urban street life culture, they face the negative acculturation and street influences, and are more likely to engage in risk-taking behavior such as drug and alcohol use, prostitution, and other crimes. The drop-in services provided by HomePlate are a key front-end access point in the County's continuum of care for these young people, and are critical in creating positive, trusting relationships between homeless youth and adults. It is estimated that about 300 homeless youth are served each year. Washington County: Community Action Community Connect Community Action has worked for several years to develop partnerships with Washington County housing and service providers to take steps toward developing a coordinated and centralized system for the delivery of services to persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. These efforts have been successful and, in concert with other initiatives identified in Washington County's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness, have led to a steadily declining number of unsheltered homeless individuals in our community. A Centralized and Coordinated Assessment System (CCAS), as defined by HUD, is required for all communities receiving Continuum of Care (CoC) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Public Services 5 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK The Washington County Housing and Supportive Services Network (HSSN), our jurisdiction's CoC, has been working together to develop a new system that builds on past successes to meet HUDs guidelines and improve our community's homeless services. The HSSN has chosen a centralized intake system with a single entry point for all homeless services and has chosen Community Action to serve as that entry point. Through the CCAS, which will be marketed as "Community Connect", households seeking assistance will be screened for initial eligibility, assessed for level of intervention needed and placed in the most appropriate housing resource. Expanding intake services to include entry to all 36 Continuum programs will require additional staff time to complete the comprehensive assessment developed by the CoC partners. Community Action will receive $70,000 in 2014/2015 CDBG funding over two years for the purpose of supporting implementation of Community Connect, Washington County's central point of intake for homeless and at-risk households, to improve efficiency and make the best use of available resources. The project is anticipated to serve 1,750 county residents annually. Washington County: St. Vincent de Paul, Rent & Utility Assistance Programs While St. Vincent de Paul, St. Matthew Conference operates in the western cities of Washington County (Hillsboro, North Plains, and Cornelius); St. Anthony's Conference provides emergency rent and utility assistance to qualified low-income families that are in crisis in the Tigard area. Those who face eviction or the threat of giving up their housing because of accumulative unpaid rent or utility bills often become homeless, or encounter major costs as they attempt to acquire alternative housing or reconnect utility services. A better approach is to provide assistance and support before a crisis occurs. All of those assisted under each program are interviewed by volunteers, either over the phone or visited in their homes if necessary. The goal is to gain firsthand knowledge of each household's financial circumstances, provide information and other assistance, and determine that the family or individual is seeking to regain self- sufficiency. CDBG funds are used for one-time rental or utility assistance. Contact is made with property managers and utility providers prior to providing financial assistance to make certain the family will not be subject to eviction or that vital utility services will remain connected. Payments are made directly to utility companies, landlords or property managers on behalf of the client family. This program operates exclusively with the efforts of dedicated volunteers to directly administer rent and utility assistance that supports thousands of families each year from becoming homelessness, but the need still vastly outweighs what current levels of funding can support. Washington County: Housing Independence Housing Independence provides support to low-income individuals with developmental disabilities who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless by helping them obtain and retain housing through increased case management and supportive services. There is a segment of the population that will always need assistance, and this arguably is the most disadvantaged without choice. There is a growing population of persons with developmental disabilities that are finding themselves living on the street, in homeless camps, under bridges, or living in the woods, and because of their mental disability, they are Public Services 6 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK much more vulnerable and at risk of being exploited. They struggle with understanding and processing information and are more easily swayed or encouraged to participate in activities that jeopardize their health, safety and welfare. While the intellectually and developmentally disabled population experiences increased barriers and risks in accessing and maintaining housing, evidence and experience prove that with dedicated case management, supports and skills training, these adults can be highly successful in living independently. CDBG funds have supported Housing Independence in their mission to provide case management and supportive services to this vulnerable population. Housing Independence customizes their services to address the specific housing needs of each of their clients and provides the intensive supports needed to facilitate success in maintaining self-sufficient housing. Housing Independence has a strong partnership with the Edwards Center to fill the gap of supporting adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities that do not need 24/7 or comprehensive services but still need case management and support services in order to live independently and obtain and retain housing and avoid homelessness. Washington County: Open Door Counseling Center Open Door Counseling Center (ODCC) has received CDBG funding for the purpose of providing free HUD certified housing counseling to extremely-low, low and moderate income individuals and families in Washington County. ODCC provides counseling services and one-month of mortgage payment assistance, when needed, to help save their home from foreclosure and prevent homelessness. Sometimes a one-time assistance payment is all that is needed for these households to get back on track. First-time homebuyers will learn about the intricate home buying process, budgeting principles and how to avoid unnecessary re-financing of loans. Seniors seeking education about budgeting and reverse mortgage counseling will be provided superior one-on-one counseling, and homeless residents will obtain the skills and resources needed to establish long-term housing solutions, a sustainable income source, financial stability and self-sufficiency. The agency also provides a variety of services to support the homeless, including street outreach to assist the homeless access housing and supportive services. Washington County and City of Beaverton: Fair Housing Council of Oregon Fair Housing Council of Oregon provides fair housing services including outreach, education, and enforcement for all protected class residents in Washington County. Washington County 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan and most recent Analysis of the Impediments to Fair Housing Choice cite numerous factors that prevent low-income and homeless families and individuals from accessing affordable housing. FHCO assists in Washington County's efforts to affirmatively further fair housing by increasing education and outreach capacity in Washington County by providing access to bi-lingual education and outreach specialists to increase capacity in serving persons who have recently migrated and low/moderate income housing consumers. FHCO designs a culturally sensitive outreach and education plan, implemented by developing relationships with key social service providers, disability-rights CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Public Services 7 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK organizations, race/ethnic minority organizations, etc. Washington County Office of Community Development has contracted with FHCO to provide support for their Fair Housing Hotline, as well as to conduct trainings and other outreach activities throughout Washington County to educate low/moderate income housing consumers, providers, and others about fair housing rights and responsibilities. Washington County: Community Alliance of Tenants Community Alliance of Tenants (CAT) provides a tenant education program designed to increase low-income renters' access to safe, decent and stable housing. , Low-income renters are often unaware of their responsibilities and rights when they ± are given an eviction notice, receive a rental 4 increase, or when repairs are needed. - - Unresolved rental problems can quickly become compounded, resulting in illness, injury, loss of assets, damage to belongings , ^ and loss of housing. The proposed project will aim to restore and expand service to ' serve low-income renting households in Washington County. In addition to providing Washington County residents access to the Renters' Rights Hotline, CAT conducts additional outreach to tenants in targeted areas to make them aware of the service and their rights and responsibilities as tenants. With appropriate information, training and support, renters can increase their chances for housing stability, address habitability and safety concerns, and maintain better business practices with their landlords. An estimated 300 low/moderate income individuals in Washington County are served each year. Washington County: Family Promise Washington County shelters continue to operate at capacity. The shelter wait list shows an average of 67 families with children seeking shelter over the past 8 months.These are families sleeping in doubled- up situations or trying to seek shelter in places not meant for human habitation. Case management and family mentoring programs such as Family Promise have become vital tools for helping homeless families recover from homelessness, transition into shelter (or permanent housing), and work towards self-sufficiency. The project funds onsite case management services and a Family Mentoring Program to help families build stability and obtain permanent housing. Trained volunteers will work with the Case Manager to serve as family mentors and act as advisors and advocates to help families achieve goals and help prevent a return to homelessness. Public Services 8 CDBG:40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Washington County: SW Community Health Center After the Essential Health Clinic (EHC) closed in March 2013, SWCHC was approached by community stakeholders to fill the gap and offer services in Washington County. SWCHC-Hillsboro Clinic offers care in the same space formerly occupied by EHC, located at 266 W. Main St, a site shared with the Washington County Health Department. A number of former EHC volunteers continue to volunteer at SWCHC's Hillsboro clinic, joined by additional staff and volunteers. The Hillsboro Clinic re-opened in the second week of December, offering walk-in urgent-care on Monday evenings from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Similar to its Portland clinic, SWCHC `s Hillsboro clinic operates on a sliding fee scale with no client turned away due to inability to pay. The organization partners with several other entities in the Washington County community, including Tuality HealthCare, Kaiser Permanente, Washington County Health and Human Services, Washington County Office of Community Development, Pacific University College of Health Professions, clinicians, nurses and non-clinical volunteers who are dedicated to the provision of quality health services for the uninsured residing in Washington County. Washington County: Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) With the authorization of the HEARTH Act in May 2009, Congress made significant changes to the McKinney-Vento Act programs. One of the changes replaced the Emergency Shelter Grant program (ESG) with the Emergency Solutions Grant, also called ESG. Since 2011, Washington County allocates approximately S1S0,000 in Emergency Solutions Grant funding each year to provide funding to support persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. There are six eligible activities that may be funded under the ESG regulations: Street Outreach, Shelter Operations, Homelessness Prevention, and Rapid Re-Housing activities. Washington County places an emphasis on funding Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing activities, due to the importance that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has placed on these funding activities as an effective way for communities to combat homelessness. While supporting Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing activities continues to be the focus, funding for operations of shelters and street outreach activities is also proposed to continue because funding for these activities can be limited, and shelter still serves a crucial element in the road to transitioning individuals and families from homelessness and into permanent housing.

CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities Economic Development 1 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Beaverton Downtown Storefront Improvement Program In 2005, the City of Beaverton created downtown storefront improvement program to help provide incentives to Central Beaverton business owners. The eligible program area is surrounded by 2nd Ave to the south, Stott Ave to the west, Canyon to the north, and Lombard to the east. The program provides up to $20,000 in matching funds to qualified businesses within the program area to make facade improvements to their buildings. These projects address the CDBG national objective to address slum and blight on an area basis. Since its inception, 23 facades have been improved with CDBG funding. The current designation expires June 30, 2015. A&P Appliance: In 2007 the City awarded A&P Appliance CDBG grant funds to paint, remove awnings, and install windows, flashing and signage. Since the investment in their storefront, the LeClaires have expanded their business to include kitchen goods and have remodeled a portion of the building to serve as small offices. d g 1 . — ►trs:,!pr llll� , « • • Arthur Murray Dance Studio When the owner of the Arthur Murray Dance Studio at the corner of Farmington and Watson called the City to ask about the facade improvement program, she had one thing on her mind: fixing the stucco on the outside of her historic building. The building was built in 1923 and is on the Historic Register. Over the years the stucco had begun to crack and had even fallen off in some places. As part of the environmental review process, staff from the State Historic Preservation Office worked with the Economic Development 2 CDBG: 40 Years of Building Strong Communities NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK contractor to make sure the work didn't impact the historic integrity of the building. Although the scope of this project was simple, it helped protect one of Beaverton's historic treasures. .. 416r Ava Roasteria In 2005 the City awarded its first storefront improvement grant to Ava Roasteria. Owner Amy Saberiyan had purchased a brownfields site in Old Town that was previously a Texaco station 1,17 ,' and mechanics shop. After cleaning up the soil and remodeling the building into a coffee shop, she applied to the City's program to install the 6 • ° ' �' waterfall in front of the building. The exposed neighboring building's wall was grey cinderblock and was not an asset to Ava's extensive outdoor seating. Mir ," Since its opening, Ava's has become a focal point for Old Town. Since it is open 24 hours a day, residents of Beaverton can grab coffee and �y. `? '' r• pastry any time, whether they are meeting with .i�• friends or studying for a final. The waterfall has even become a landmark in its own right, I "_=' -�% serving as the backdrop of many senior portrait 'r� - sessions. �` CDBG:40 Years of Building Strong Communities Economic Development 3 NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK Beaverton History Center In 2010 a local philanthropist bought the old site of Beaverton Blue Print to provide a home for the Beaverton History Center.
