ISSUE
Shall Council adopt an ordinance adopting a methodology and other provisions relating to the
imposition and collection of parks system development charges (SDCs) for the City of Tigard?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Staff has been reviewing ways to finance Tigard's future system infrastructure (streets, water,
sewer, storm, parks and public facilities systems) over the last year. This effort is being done
for citywide purposes, in concert with the River Terrace Infrastructure Funding Strategy. On
December 16, 2014, Council adopted the River Terrace Infrastructure Funding Strategy,
representing the financial toolbox for funding needed infrastructure in River Terrace. Many
of the adopted recommendations need Council action to implement.
Included in that strategy are System Development Charges (SDCs) for Parks. SDC’s are
one-time charges paid by developers to pay for their impact on city infrastructure. Council
discussed the SDC proposal in workshops on February 17, 2015 and March 17, 2015 and in a
recent hearing on April 28, 2015.
The city currently has a citywide Parks SDC to pay for park improvements. The funding
strategy recommends an update as well as the creation of an area-specific Parks SDC for River
Terrace. The methodology report incorporates those elements and includes a reimbursement
portion of the SDC that will permit the city to pay for replacement of existing parks
infrastructure that has been developed previously.
Based on the direction provided in the River Terrace Funding Strategy, the two workshops,
and the hearing, this hearing provides Council the opportunity to adopt Parks SDC’s with the
following key policy decisions:
Parks SDC’s will have a citywide reimbursement portion, citywide improvement portion,
and River Terrace Overlay.
1.
Parks SDCs in River Terrace are discounted from the maximum fee permitted by law.
This is consistent with the River Terrace Funding Strategy.
2.
The citywide SDCs for parks and the River Terrace Overlay SDC for parks will issue
credits in the current standard method where SDC credits are issued to overbuilding a
facility beyond the local portion.
3.
SDC Credits will be transferable between developers within the SDC fee area for which
they were earned.
4.
SDC Credits will expire within 10 years.5.
At the hearing on April 28, 2015, Council instructed staff to meet with the development
community, including the commercial development community to brief them on the
methodology and discuss the costs of parks on the project list in the methodology
report. This meeting will take place on May 7, 2015. During this hearing, staff will report on
the results of that meeting.
Adoption of the new fees requires two hearings. This first hearing will adopt the SDC
methodology. A second hearing to follow will adopt the fees by amending the Master Fees
and Charges. Staff plans to include this change as part of the Master Fees and Charges
hearing already scheduled for June 9, 2015 as part of the budget adoption hearings.
Attached to this hearing packet are:
Ordinance adopting the SDC methodology.1.
Exhibit A - Parks SDC Methodology Report. This is the clean copy that amends the
original document with the changes based on Council policy direction provided in the
public workshops. For the hearing on April 28, 2015, the materials included the
Original Public Review Draft of the Methodology Report that has been available for
review for over 60 days, as required by state law and the Addendum to the Original
Public Review Draft showing the changes that have been made to the document, based
on Council policy direction provided in public workshops.
2.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Council can continue the hearing to request additional information from staff and consultants
prior to adoption of the SDC methodology. This will result in a delay in implementing the
SDCs.
Council could propose no action on the SDCs. The result of no action is that funding for
infrastructure does not keep up with growth.

April 2015 page 1
SECTION I: BACKGROUND
This section describes the policy context and project scope upon which the body of this report is
based.
A. POLICY
Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 223.297 to 223.314 authorize local governments to establish system
development charges (SDCs). These are one-time fees on new development which are paid at the
time of development. SDCs are intended to recover a fair share of the cost of existing and planned
facilities that provide capacity to serve future growth.
ORS 223.299 defines two types of SDC:
A reimbursement fee that is designed to recover “costs associated with capital improvements
already constructed, or under construction when the fee is established, for which the local
government determines that capacity exists”
An improvement fee that is designed to recover “costs associated with capital improvements
to be constructed”
ORS 223.304(1) states, in part, that a reimbursement fee must be based on “the value of unused
capacity available to future system users or the cost of existing facilities” and must account for prior
contributions by existing users and any gifted or grant-funded facilities. The calculation must
“promote the objective of future system users contributing no more than an equitable share to the
cost of existing facilities.” A reimbursement fee may be spent on any capital improvement related to
the system for which it is being charged (whether cash-financed or debt-financed).
ORS 223.304(2) states, in part, that an improvement fee must be calculated to include only the cost
of projected capital improvements needed to increase system capacity for future users. In other
words, the cost of planned projects that correct existing deficiencies or do not otherwise increase
capacity for future users may not be included in the improvement fee calculation. An improvement
fee may be spent only on capital improvements (or portions thereof) that increase the capacity of the
system for which it is being charged (whether cash-financed or debt-financed).
B. PROJECT
In August, 2014, the City of Tigard (City) contracted with FCS GROUP to update its SDCs for parks.
This report documents our findings and recommendations.
We approached this project as a series of three steps:
Framework for Charges. In this step, we worked with City staff to identify and agree on the
approach to be used and the components to be included in the analysis.
Technical Analysis. In this step, we worked with City staff to isolate the recoverable portion
of planned facility costs and calculate draft SDC rates.
TIGARD, OREGON Parks & Recreation SDC Methodology Report
April 2015 page 2
Draft Methodology Report Preparation. In this step, we documented the calculation of the
draft SDC rates included in this report.
This Tigard Parks and Recreation SDC Methodology Report is intended to be generally consistent
with the River Terrace Funding Strategy, adopted by Tigard City Council in December 2014. The
adopted funding strategy supports the creation of an SDC overlay district within the River Terrace
Plan District. Please refer to City of Tigard Community Development Code: Map 18.660 for tax lots
that are included in the River Terrace Plan District (Exhibit 1.1). Once this Parks SDC methodology
is adopted, future development in Tigard would be subject to a citywide SDC, and development
within River Terrace would also be subject to both the citywide SDC and the River Terrace SDC.
Exhibit 1.1: River Terrace Plan District
TIGARD, OREGON Parks & Recreation SDC Methodology Report
April 2015 page 3
SECTION II: APPROACH
This section provides a non-numeric overview of the calculations that result in SDC rates.
A. REIMBURSEMENT FEE
In order for a reimbursement fee to be calculated, excess (i.e., not currently utilized) capacity must
be available to serve future growth. The reimbursement fee is the original cost of available capacity
per unit of growth which will use that capacity. The unit of growth, whether number of new residents
or number of new employees, is the basis of the fee.
For parks facilities, available capacity is equal to that portion of the current inventory of parks
facilities that exceeds the adopted standard for level of service.
B. IMPROVEMENT FEE
The improvement fee is the cost of capacity-increasing capital projects per unit of growth that those
projects will serve. The unit of growth, whether number of new residents or number of new
employees, is the basis of the fee. In reality, the capacity added by many projects serves a dual
purpose of both meeting existing demand and serving future growth. To compute a compliant SDC
rate, growth-related costs must be isolated and costs related to current demand must be excluded.
We have used the “capacity approach” to allocate costs to the improvement fee basis. Under this
approach, the cost of a given project is allocated to growth in proportion to the growth-related
capacity that projects of a similar type will create. For example, suppose that a city’s master plan
included the acquisition and development of 100 acres of new neighborhood parks. Suppose further
that our analysis determined that 30 acres were required to meet existing demand, and 70 acres were
required to serve future users. In that case, only 70 percent of the cost for any new neighborhood
park would be eligible for recovery with an improvement fee.
C. GROWTH
Growth should be measured in units that most directly reflect the source of demand. In the case of
parks, the most applicable units of growth are population and, where appropriate, employees (or new
jobs). However, the units in which demand is expressed may not be the same as the units in which
SDC rates are charged. Many SDCs, for example, are charged in the basis of new dwelling units.
Therefore, conversion is often necessary from units of demand to units of payment. For example,
using an average number of residents per household, the number of new residents can be converted to
the number of new dwelling units.
TIGARD, OREGON Parks & Recreation SDC Methodology Report
April 2015 page 4
D. COMPLIANCE COSTS
ORS 223.307(5) authorizes the expenditure of SDCs on “the costs of complying with the provisions
of ORS 223.297 to 223.314, including the costs of developing system development charge
methodologies and providing an annual accounting of system development charge expenditures.” To
avoid spending monies for compliance that might otherwise have been spent on growth-related
projects, this report includes an estimate of compliance costs in its SDC rates.
E. GEOGRAPHIC ALLOCATION
Parks SDCs are often calculated and applied uniformly throughout a municipality, but such
uniformity is not a legal requirement. Municipalities can calculate and impose area-specific SDCs.
Area-specific SDCs allow a municipality to identify and isolate differential costs to serve particular
areas within its jurisdiction. SDCs are calculated separately for each area, and improvement fees
must be spent on projects in the improvement fee cost basis for the area in which those improvement
fees were earned.
Area-specific SDCs can be implemented in two ways. The first way is to divide the municipality into
a set of non-overlapping areas. Under this method, the SDCs for a particular area are determined by
the assets, projects, and projected growth in that area. The second method is a layered approach. The
first layer consists of a citywide SDC based on assets and projects of citywide benefit. The second
layer consists of one or more overlays. Each overlay is a separate list of assets and projects that
benefit a particular area within the city. For each overlay, the cost bases are divided by projected
growth in that particular area. Development within an overlay pays both the citywide SDC and the
overlay SDC. Development outside of an overlay pays only the citywide SDC.
Given the City’s desire to isolate the costs of serving River Terrace, we recommend (and have
calculated in this report) both a citywide SDC and an overlay SDC for River Terrace.
F. SUMMARY
In general, SDC rates are calculated by adding the reimbursement fee component, improvement fee
component, and compliance cost component. Each component is calculated by dividing the eligible
cost by the growth of units of demand. The unit of demand becomes the basis of the charge. Exhibit
2 .1 shows this calculation in equation format:

April 2015 page 5
SECTION III: GROWTH CALCULATION
This section provides detailed calculations related to growth in demand, which is the denominator in
the SDC equation.
A. RELEVANT TYPES OF GROWTH
Parks and recreation facilities benefit City residents, businesses, non-resident employees, and
visitors. The methodology used to update the City’s Parks and Recreation SDCs establishes the
required connection between the demands of growth and the SDC by identifying specific types of
park and recreation facilities and analyzing the proportionate need of residents and employees for
each type of facility. The SDCs to be paid by a development meet statutory requirements because
they are based on the nature of the development and the extent of the impact of that development on
the types of park and recreation facilities for which they are charged.
The Parks and Recreation SDCs are calculated based on the specific impact a development is
expected to have on the City’s population and employment. For facilities that are not generally used
by employees (e.g., neighborhood parks), only a residential SDC may be charged. For facilities that
benefit both residents and employees (e.g., community parks), an SDC may be charged for both
residential and non-residential development.
B. POPULATION GROWTH
Having established the relevance of population, we now quantify expected growth in population and
convert the result to dwelling units.
B.1 Expected Growth
Based on the City’s Transportation System Plan (as amended to include River Terrace), the City’s
population is expected to grow from 50,851 in 2015 to 72,034 in 2035. In other words, the City is
expected to add 21,183 residents over 20 years at a compound average growth rate of 1.76 percent
per year.
Of the 21,183 new residents, 6,174 are expected to reside in River Terrace.
B.2 Conversion to Dwelling Units
Residential SDCs are initially calculated based on costs per capita but are ultimately charged based
on dwelling units. To convert population to dwelling units, we analyzed data gathered for Tigard
from the 2010-2012 American Community Survey. Table 3.1 shows the resulting conversion factors:

B25033. Compiled by FCS Group.
C. EMPLOYMENT GROWTH
Having established the relevance of employment in Section II, we now quantify expected growth in
employment and convert the result to population equivalents.
As used here, employee means someone who works in the City regardless of place of residence.
Employees may live inside or outside the City. Later in this report, we will be more concerned with
non-resident employees in particular.
C.1 Expected Growth
Based on the City’s Transportation System Plan (as amended to include River Terrace), the number
of persons employed within the City is expected to grow from 39,536 in 2015 to 54,381 in 2035. In
other words, the City is expected to add 14,845 employees over 20 years at a compound average
growth rate of 1.53 percent per year.
Of the 14,845 new employees, 75 are expected to work in River Terrace once a small commercial
center is added.
C.2 Conversion to Population Equivalents
The parks and recreation facilities described in the recently adopted master plans were mostly
designed with the needs of both residents and non-resident employees in mind. It is therefore
appropriate to allocate the cost of these facilities to both residents and non-resident employees. The
only exceptions are neighborhood parks. These facilities were designed for the needs of residents
only and it is therefore appropriate to allocate the cost of these facilities to residents only.
While most parks and recreation facilities benefit residents and non-resident employees, these two
groups do not utilize parks and recreation facilities with the same intensity. To apportion the demand
for facilities between non-resident employees and residents in an equitable manner, a non-resident-
employee-to-resident demand ratio must be calculated based on differential intensity of use.
First, we estimate the potential demand for parks and recreation facilities. Appendix A-1 identifies
potential use by different population groups in a manner that averages day-of-week and seasonal
effects. These averages are based on the maximum number of hours per day that each population
group would consider the use of parks and recreation facilities to be a viable option. In the final panel
of Appendix A-1 (Demand by Population Group), we multiply the weighted average hours by an
actual count for each population group based on data from the U. S. Census Bureau. We then
apportion this potential demand among residents (four population groups) and non-residents (one
population group).
This approach is used to estimate the allocation of parks usage among residents and non-residents,
which is summarized in Figure 3.2. The findings indicate that residents comprise 83 percent of the
expected level of parks demand and non-residents that work within the city comprise 17 percent of
TIGARD, OREGON Parks & Recreation SDC Methodology Report
April 2015 page 7
the demand. These estimates are subsequently used in the next Section of this report to allocate the
eligible SDC cost shares between these two user groups.

B. FACILITY NEEDS
For purposes of this SDC methodology, each of the City’s park facilities falls into one of the
following five categories:
Neighborhood and pocket parks
Community parks
Linear parks
Open spaces
Trails (includes trails not identified in the Tigard Transportation System Development
Charge Methodology Report project list)
Appendix A-3 compares the current inventory of facilities in each category with that category’s
adopted level of service. In the third panel, that comparison leads to a determination of surplus or
deficiency for each category.
Projects are eligible for improvement fee funding only to the extent that the projects will benefit
future users. Therefore, only the categories with no deficiency (community parks, open space, and
trails) are 100 percent eligible for improvement fee funding. As shown in the fifth panel
(Improvement Fee Eligibility), the eligibility percentages of the remaining two categories,
neighborhood/pocket parks and linear parks, are reduced to reflect the level of deficiency.
Because some facility types have undeveloped land in their current inventory, the deficiency of land
decreases within those types. Therefore, neighborhood/pocket parks have a higher improvement fee
eligibility percentage for land acquisition.
C. FACILITY COSTS
The City provided a list (Table 4.2) of parks projects by category and area of benefit using project
improvements identified in adopted parks and trails master plans for Tigard and River Terrace.
Eligibility percentages are derived from the estimates indicated in Figure 3.2. Applying those
percentages to the future Parks project capital costs results in a citywide improvement fee cost basis
of $59.6 million and a River Terrace improvement fee cost basis of approximately $9.0 million.

SECTION V: SDC CALCULATION
This section provides a detailed calculation of the residential and non-residential SDCs.
A. CALCULATED SDCS BY USE
Dividing the reimbursement and improvement fee cost bases by projected growth in population and
employees results in a calculated SDC per unit of growth. The results of this calculation are
summarized in Table 5.1:
Table 5.1: SDC Improvement Fee by Use*
Because only 75 new employees are expected in River Terrace over the next 20 years, the non-
residential overlay SDC for River Terrace would have been prohibitively expensive. Therefore, we
have calculated the non-residential SDC on a citywide basis only.
B. RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL SDC CALCULATIONS
B.1 Residential SDC Calculation
When we convert population to the dwelling units, we can determine the total maximum allowable
SDC fee per dwelling unit as shown in Table 5.1. SDCs for residential development are calculated
by multiplying the number of dwellings (by housing category) by the corresponding SDC rate.
B.2 Non-Residential SDC Calculation
To calculate SDCs for proposed redevelopment of existing buildings, the SDC for non-residential
uses will take into account the amount of floor area (square feet) proposed as a change in use.

TIGARD, OREGON Parks & Recreation SDC Methodology Report
April 2015 page 13
The SDC calculation for new non-residential development takes into account the amount of proposed
floor area (square feet). The Parks SDC for non-residential development will vary by the
classification of development as shown in Table 5.2.
Table 5.2
C. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT
We have reviewed the City’s method for annual adjustment of parks SDCs as summarized in the
City’s “Master Fees & Charges Schedule” and described more fully in Exhibit “A” of Resolution 01-
74, which the City Council first adopted on December 18, 2001. Because the index constructed under
this method includes both land costs (based on data from the Washington County Assessor) and
construction costs (based on data from the Engineering News Record), it is an especially appropriate
index for adjusting parks SDCs. We therefore recommend continuing the current practice.
D. CREDITS, EXEMPTIONS AND DISCOUNTS
The Tigard SDC Procedures Guide will establish local policies for issuing credits and exemptions, annual
adjustments, and other administrative procedures.
D.1 Credits
A credit is a reduction in the amount of the SDC for a specific development. The Oregon SDC Act
requires that credit be allowed for the construction of a "qualified public improvement" which (1) is
required as a condition of development approval, (2) is identified in the City’s capital improvements
program, and (3) either is not located on or contiguous to property that is the subject of development
approval, or is located on or contiguous to such property and is required to be built larger or with greater
capacity than is necessary for the particular development project.
The credit for a qualified public improvement may only be applied against an SDC for the same type of
improvement (e.g., parks land or improvements provided by a developer can only be used for a credit for
towards parks SDC improvement fee payments), and must be granted only for the cost of that portion of
an improvement which exceeds the minimum standard facility size or capacity needed to serve the

particular project up to the amount of the improvement fee. For multi-phase projects, any excess credit
may be applied against SDCs that accrue in subsequent phases of the original development project.
In addition to these required credits, the City may, if it so chooses, provide a greater credit, establish a
system providing for the transferability of credits, provide a credit for a capital improvement not
identified in the City’s SDC Capital Improvements Plan, or provide a share of the cost of an improvement
by other means (i.e., partnerships, other City revenues, etc.).
D.2 Exemptions
The City may exempt specific classes of development (i.e., minor additions, etc.) from the requirement to
pay SDCs.
D.3 Discounts
Section IV of this Tigard Parks SDC Methodology Report documented the maximum defensible
SDC that can be established in Tigard (see Table 5.1). In accordance with the River Terrace Funding
Strategy, the City of Tigard desires to establish its Parks SDC at a level that is below the maximum
amount that it can charge.
The City may discount the amount of the SDC by reducing the portion of growth-required
improvements to be funded with SDCs. Alternatively, the City may decide to charge only a
percentage (i.e., 50%, 75%, etc.) of the SDC rates required to fund identified growth-related facility
costs. Because discounts reduce SDC revenues, they increase the amounts that must come from other
sources, such as general fund contributions in order for the City to maintain levels of service.
D.4 Tigard Parks SDCs After Discount
Table 5.3 summarizes the discounted residential SDC improvement/compliance fees that the City of
Tigard would initially charge for residential development after the new SDCs are established. The
Tigard City Council has the discretion to remove SDC discounts in the future.
Table 5.3: SDC Improvement Fee, After Discount*
The River Terrace SDCs (after discounts) would be lower than the maximum SDC the City can
charge to meet the policy objectives established by the River Terrace funding strategy. Hence,
additional funding sources would need to be identified to ensure that all projects contained in the
long term capital project list can be funded by year 2035. Appendix A-4 identifies the amount of
SDC revenues and other funding revenues the City of Tigard would likely need to fully fund the
projects identified in the SDC capital project list.

E. EXISTI NG AND PROPOSED SDCS
Table 5.4 summarizes the existing and proposed total Parks SDCs for the City of Tigard for
reimbursement, improvement, and compliance charges after discounts.
Once this Methodology Report is adopted, Parks SDCs would vary by location. Parks SDCs within
the city (outside River Terrace) would initially be charged $6,824 per single family dwelling, $5,138
per multifamily dwelling, and $707 per new employee. Parks SDCs within River Terrace would
initially be charged $9,327 per single family dwelling, $7,022 per multifamily dwelling, and $707
per new employee.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Toby LaFrance, Finance and Information Services Director
Re: Parks SDC Hearing on May 19, 2015
Date: May 14, 2015
The purpose of this memo is to provide a preview of the report I will provide at the hearing
next Tuesday May 19, 2015. At the hearing on April 28, 2015, Council instructed staff to meet
with developers to discuss the cost basis for the Parks SDCs and report back in a hearing on
May 19, 2015. At the hearing on May 19th, the purpose will be to adopt the Parks SDC
methodology and for Council to instruct staff on the amount of the SDCs. The actual hearing
to adopt the fees will then take place on June 9, 2015 during the hearing on the Master Fees and
Charges as part of the Budget Hearings.
Tigard staff and our rate consultants from FCS Goup met with developers on Thursday May 7th.
We heard a number of concerns and was able to provide information on the project costs that
form the basis for calculating the fees. Below is a summary of findings from the meeting:
• Staff agreed that developers are able to build parks for less than the city. Factors include
BOLI requirements that a city faces that developers do not and economies of scale for
permitting and building a large development that includes a park vs. just building the
park.
• Steve Martin presented the basis for the city’s cost and cited our recent experience gained
through the work funded by the parks bond that formed the basis. While there were
questions, in the end, the developers did not dispute the basis. Further, staff encouraged
the developers to let staff know if they felt that the basis for the city’s costs was invalid
or too high. I have yet to hear back from any of the developers regarding this subject.
• The fees presented at the April 28th hearing followed Council direction to have a citywide
SDC and a River Terrace Overlay. The developers pointed out the neighborhood parks
appear in the project lists for both the citywide fee and the River Terrace fee and
questioned of this had the effect of “double charging” River Terrace developers for
neighborhood parks. Staff and the rate consultants agreed to explore that issue.
• Commercial developers expressed a desire to delay the implementation of the non-
residential parks SDC change so that any increase could be worked into any
development that is in process. One developer cited a similar situation in Portland
where the fee was delayed from July to January.
SUPPLEMENTAL PACKET
FOR May 19, 2015
Handed Out by Staff
Based on these concerns staff will bring revisions to the Parks SDC Methodology Report that is
in your Council Packet. If Council chooses to approve these revisions, the total fees paid by
developers will be as follows:
April 28 Heaing Proposed for June 9th Hearing
Park System Development Charge (SDC)Current
Outside River
Terrace
Inside River
Terrace
Outside River

Inside River
Terrace
Single Family Unit $6,451.34 $6,824.00 $9,326.00 $6,824.00 $7,201.00
Multi-family Unit $5,156.28 $5,138.00 $7,022.00 $5,138.00 $5,421.00
Commercial/industrial (per employee)$446.14 $707.00 $707.00 $433.00 $433.00
The changes from the fees presented on April 28 to the proposed fees that could go forward on
June 9th incorporate the following changes:
• The city will assume that approximately 85% of neighborhood parks in River Terrace will
be developed privately and that the cost of development will be 30% less than the cost of
the City to develop the same parks. This will lower the cost basis for calculating the
Parks SDCs as it applies to River Terrace. Since it is unlikely that there will be any
sizable developments outside of River Terrace, it is assumed that the city will build any
future neighborhood parks outside of River Terrace and that they will be built at the
city’s cost.
• There will be a Citywide Parks SDC that incorporates all park types except neighborhood
parks. These park types are community parks, trails, linear parks, and open space.
• There will be two area Parks SDCs for neighborhood parks: inside River Terrace and
outside River Terrace. This will remove any “double charging” of neighborhood parks
to River Terrace developers. This will create an administrative burden to track two area
park SDC’s.
• These changes on the residential park SDCs is estimated to have no impact on the
unfunded park liability.
• The Commercial/Industrial Park SDC will actually decrease slightly. With a decrease, I
will not recommend a delay in implementation, as was requested by the developers who
expected an increase based on the April 28th hearing. The SDC is changed in two ways:
o The basis for projected job growth will be changed from the projections in the
Transportation System Plan (TSP) to the Economic Opportunities Analysis
(EOA) adopted by Council in May 2011. The EOA has a higher projection of
job growth. With a higher number of projected jobs to spread the parks costs
over, the SDC per job is lower.
o The Commercial Industrial Parks SDC is provided the same discount as the
residential Park SDCs.
I hope this information is helpful. At the hearing on May 19th, Council can choose to adopt all,
or none of the above changes. Based on Council direction, staff will then bring Park SDC’s
forward for adoption on June 9th.

Addendum of Proposed Edits for Final Version:
Tigard Parks System Development Charge Methodology Report (4/9/2015)
Introduction
This document summarizes the proposed changes to the Public Review Draft Tigard Parks System
Development Charge Methodology Report that are needed to finalize the report upon adoption. Based
on the input received by City staff and interested stakeholders from the time of publication of the
Public Review Draft Tigard Parks System Development Charge Methodology Report, the following
edits are proposed for consideration in the final version of the document.
SECTION III. GROWTH CALCULATION
C.1 Expected Growth (page 6)
Revise paragraph to change basis of employment forecast to the Tigard Economic Opportunities
Analysis (adopted by Tigard City Council, May 2011) as follows…
“Based on the City’s Transportation System PlanEconomic Opportunities Analysis (as amended
toadopted by City Council in May 2011 include River Terrace), the number of persons employed
within the City is expected to grow from an estimated 40,13539,536 in 2015 to 65,47554,381 in
2035. In other words, the City is expected to add 25,34014,845 employees over 20 years. at a
compound average growth rate of 1.53 percent per year.
Of the 25,34014,845 new employees, 75 are expected to work in River Terrace once a small
commercial center is added. “
C.2 Conversion to Population Equivalents (page 6)
Revise last paragraph on page 6 and Figure 3.2 (and Appendix A-1) as follows…
“This approach is used to estimate the allocation of parks usage among residents and non-residents,
which is summarized in Figure 3.2. The findings indicate that residents comprise 8183 percent of the
expected level of parks demand and non-residents that work within the city comprise 1917 percent of
the demand. These estimates are subsequently used in the next Section of this report to allocate the
eligible SDC cost shares between these two user groups.”

Revise last paragraph on page 9 and Table 4.2 (and Appendix A-2) as follows…
“Eligibility percentages are derived from the estimates indicated in Figure 3.2. Applying those
percentages to the future Parks project capital costs results in a citywide improvement fee cost basis
of $63.459.6 million and a River Terrace improvement fee cost basis of approximately $4.79.0
million.”

“The citywide River Terrace SDCs (after discounts) would be lower than the maximum SDC the City
can charge to meet the policy objectives established by the River Terrace funding strategy. Hence,
additional funding sources would need to be identified to ensure that all projects contained in the
long term capital project list can be funded by year 2035. Appendix A-4 identifies the amount of
SDC revenues and other funding revenues the City of Tigard would likely need to fully fund the
projects identified in the SDC capital project list.”

Re: Proposed Park System Development Charge
Dear Mayor Cook and Councilors:
We are pleased to provide our strong support for revisions to the Parks SDC
Methodology Report that your staff and consultant will be recommending as
per Toby LaFrance’s memorandum of May 14th.
As someone who has worked on SDC issues with local governments for nearly
twenty years, the experience I’ve had in dealing with Toby, Susan, Lloyd, and
Todd over the last couple weeks has been without comparison in terms of open
communication, patience, and consideration of additional facts while grappling
with this difficult subject. We also appreciate the Council’s response at the
April 28th hearing in directing additional outreach to commercial real estate
interests. Thank you to everyone at City of Tigard for establishing an example
for all other cities of how effective SDC policy discussions should be
conducted.
We look forward to similarly productive work on the transportation SDC and
hope that NAIOP can continue to be of assistance to the City in the future.

Re: Proposed Park System Development Charges
Dear Mayor Cook and Councilors:
On behalf of the Home Builders Association of Metro Portland, I am writing to express support for the
City’s revised Parks System Development Charges (SDC) methodology.
I would like to thank the City Council for having granted a brief continuance, which allowed stakeholders
an opportunity to meet with City staff and discuss concerns with the previously proposed methodology.
The revised SDC methodology addresses the concerns raised by residential development pertaining to
park development costs in the River Terrace overlay.
Additionally I would like to express my gratitude to the City’s staff, specifically Lloyd, Susan, Toby and
Kenny for their commitment to community involvement, transparency and collaboration throughout the
River Terrace Community planning process.
At the HBA we value our relationship with the City of Tigard and look forward to continuing to work with
the City in the future.
Respectfully,
Jon Kloor

ISSUE
Shall council authorize the city manager to execute an amendment to the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreement for the Sidewalk In-fill - North Dakota &
95th Avenue project?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Authorize the city manager to execute the amendment.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
This amendment changes the date of completion for the Sidewalk Infill - North Dakota &
95th Avenue project, being completed as part of a CDBG. The project constructs missing
sidewalk sections on North Dakota Street and 95th Avenue. The project design is nearing
completion with 90-percent plan review completed by May 8, 2015, right-of-way acquisition
currently underway, and construction expected in summer and fall of 2015. To ensure
adequate time for project closeout and resolution of any post-construction issues, it is
necessary to extend the project schedule to June 30, 2016. The following factors extended the
project timeframe:
a) The federal environmental review process -- triggered because the project drains to a
stream listed for endangered salmon runs -- pushed finalization of the initial CDBG
agreement to December 1, 2014.
b) The federal right-of-way acquisition process is required as part of this grant. This
process is considerably more detailed and time consuming than our standard
right-of-way process and requires additional time and appraisals.
c) Time was needed to work with the adjacent property owners to find a best-fit design
that minimizes impacts to property, neighbors, and the community.
Council approved the initial CDBG agreement in October 2014 with a project completion
date of June 30, 2015. This amendment will extend that date to June 30, 2016.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could propose changes to the amendment or could decide not to approve the
amendment. Should council decide not to approve the amendment, the project would not be
able to be completed by the grant deadline and the city would risk losing grant funding. This
would likely stop the project due to lack of alternative funding sources.
COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS
Construction of this project furthers the city's vision to be the most walkable community
in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and
interconnected lives. This project is included in the 2014-2015 Capital Improvement Plan.
DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
The council received a memo regarding this amendment in its May 7, 2015 newsletter packet.
The council approved the original CDBG agreement, and the city manager signed said
agreement, on November 2, 2014.
Fiscal Impact
Cost:$234,000
Budgeted (yes or no):Yes
Where Budgeted (department/program):Transportation CIP
Additional Fiscal Notes:
The project is budgeted as a part of the FY 2015 Transportation CIP with $200,000 coming
from the grant and $34,000 from the Gas Tax Fund as the city's match. Since this project
was originally scheduled for completion in FY 2015, it is not part of the Approved FY 2016
Budget. With the extension of the agreement, part of the project budget will need to be
carried forward to FY 2016, either as an adjustment during the FY 2016 budget hearing or in
the first supplemental budget of FY 2016.

Information
ISSUE
The council previously received copies of the revised Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for
their review. The emergency service coordinator will provide a brief overview of the EOP to
ensure that councilors are familiar with various sections and understand their roles and
responsibilities.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
No action requested; the council will be asked to formally adopt this plan at a future meeting.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In an effort to standardize operational planning for emergency response, Oregon Emergency
Management (OEM) initiated a project to update selected county, city and tribal emergency
operations plans (EOPs). The overall goal of the project was to enhance county, city and
tribal emergency management plans to increase statewide consistency and compliance with
National Incident Management System (NIMS) standards, while addressing risks and needs
unique to individual jurisdictions.
The planning process was facilitated by a consultant, Ecology and Environment, Inc. Key
stakeholders were invited to participate in the process, including Washington County,
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R), other emergency response providers, public health
agencies, Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA), the
American Red Cross, Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD), and city staff.
Tigard last updated its emergency management plan in 2010. The new EOP will be a full
replacement of that document.
Council is asked to bring their individual copies of the EOP binder to the meeting.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could propose changes to the EOP or could decide not to adopt the EOP.
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
N/A
DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
The council was briefed at their July 16, 2013, workshop meeting about the city's draft
continuity of government (COG) plan. Council provided direction at that time for staff to
pursue available state and federal grants that could lead to a complete update of the
emergency operations plan.
Fiscal Impact
Fiscal Information:
The project was fully funded by a Department of Homeland Security grant requested
through Washington County Emergency Management. The project was administered by
Oregon Emergency Management. The city's costs for this project was limited to internal
staff time.

Preface
This Emergency Operations Plan is an all-hazard plan that describes how the City
of Tigard will organize and respond to emergencies and disasters in the
community. It is based on, and is compatible with, federal, State of Oregon, and
other applicable laws, regulations, plans, and policies, including Presidential
Policy Directive 8, the National Response Framework, Oregon Office of
Emergency Management plans, and Washington County Emergency Operations
Plan.
Response to emergency or disaster conditions in order to maximize the safety of
the public and minimize property damage is a primary responsibility of
government. It is the goal of the City of Tigard that responses to such conditions
are conducted in the most organized, efficient, and effective manner possible. To
aid in accomplishing this goal, the City of Tigard has, in addition to promulgating
this plan, formally adopted the principles of the National Incident Management
System, including the Incident Command System and the National Response
Framework.
Consisting of a Basic Plan, Functional Annexes aligned with the Washington
County Functional Annexes and Hazard-Specific Annexes, this Emergency
Operations Plan provides a framework for coordinated response and recovery
activities during a large-scale emergency. The plan describes how various
agencies and organizations in the City of Tigard will coordinate resources and
activities with other federal, State, local, community- and faith-based
organizations, and private-sector partners.

1 Introduction
1.1 General
The City of Tigard (City) emergency management mission is to ensure that the
City is prepared for a disaster by ensuring coordination of protection, prevention,
mitigation, response, and recovery activities that increase the City’s capabilities to
minimize loss of life and reduce impacts from disasters.
Emergencies are handled effectively in the City every day. These “routine”
emergencies are managed by emergency responders as part of their day-to-day
responsibilities and are the most common emergency management activities that
the City encounters. For the most part, these emergencies are handled by
individual responders or a team of responders who work together regularly to save
lives, contain threats, and minimize damage. While the principles described in
this Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) can also be applied to these daily
responses, the plan is primarily designed to offer guidance for larger or more
complex incidents related to a broad spectrum of hazards that exceed the response
capability and/or resources of front line responders.
No plan can anticipate all the situations and conditions that may arise during
emergencies, and on-scene Incident Commanders must have the discretion to act
as they see fit based on the specific circumstances of the incident at hand. It is
imperative, however, that all jurisdictions and response agencies have a plan that
provides general guidance and a common framework for preparing for,
responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters. This plan
promulgates such a framework within the City that will bring a combination of
technical capabilities and resources, plus the judgment and expertise of its
emergency response personnel, department directors, and other key stakeholders
to bear on any incident. This EOP provides the foundation and guidance for use
of National Incident Management System (NIMS) principles necessary to
effectively manage incidents within or affecting the City.
No guarantee of a perfect response system is expressed or implied by this plan, its
implementing instructions, or procedures. While the City will respond to
emergencies to the utmost of its ability, it is possible that some natural or
technological disasters may overwhelm its resources. While recognizing this
possibility, this plan is designed to help the City fulfill its response function to its
maximum capacity.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-2
1.1.1 Whole Community Planning
The “Whole Community” planning approach is based on the recognition that it
takes all aspects of a community to effectively prepare for, protect against,
respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of disasters. This includes all
emergency management partners, both traditional and nontraditional, such as
volunteer-, faith-, and community-based organizations; the private sector; and the
public, including survivors of an incident.
Every person who lives or works in the City (including vulnerable populations)
shares responsibility for minimizing the impact of disasters on the community.
These individual responsibilities include hazard awareness, knowledge of
appropriate protective actions, taking proactive steps to mitigate the impact of
anticipated hazards, and preparations for personal and family safety, as well as the
self-sufficiency of neighborhoods. To the greatest extent possible, the City will
assist its citizens in carrying out this responsibility by providing preparedness
information, as well as emergency public information and critical public services
during a disaster. However, a major emergency is likely to damage the City’s
critical infrastructure and reduce the workforce available to continue essential
government services. Knowledgeable citizens prepared to take care of themselves
and their families, and to assist neighbors in the early phases of an emergency can
make a significant contribution towards survival and community resiliency.
1.2 Purpose and Scope
1.2.1 Purpose
The primary purpose of the EOP is to outline the City’s all-hazard approach to
emergency operations in order to protect the safety, health, and welfare of its
citizens throughout all emergency management mission areas. Through this EOP
the City designates NIMS and the Incident Command System (ICS) as the
frameworks within which all emergency management activities will be conducted.
1.2.2 Scope
The EOP is implemented whenever the City must respond to an emergency
incident or planned event whose size or complexity is beyond that normally
handled by routine operations. Such occurrences may include natural,
technological, or human-caused disasters and may impact unincorporated areas of
the County, incorporated municipalities, or a combination thereof. This plan is
intended to guide the City’s emergency operations while complementing and
supporting the emergency response plans and procedures of responding agencies,
other local governments, special districts, and other public, nonprofit/volunteer,
and private-sector entities.
A community’s emergency management infrastructure is a complex network of
relationships. The EOP establishes roles, responsibilities, and relationships
among agencies and organizations involved in emergency operations, thereby
facilitating multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction coordination. Using this
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-3
framework, City departments and agencies that operate under this plan are
expected to develop and keep current lines of succession and standard operating
procedures (SOPs) that describe how emergency tasks will be performed.
Training and equipment necessary for response operations should be maintained
by City departments and agencies.
The primary users of this plan are elected officials, department heads and their
senior staff members, emergency management staff, coordinating response
agencies, and other stakeholders that support emergency operations. The general
public is also welcome to review non-sensitive parts of this plan to better
understand how the City manages emergency operations.
1.3 Plan Implementation
Once promulgated by the City Council, this EOP is in effect and may be
implemented in whole or in part to respond to:
■ Incidents in or affecting the City
■ Health emergencies in or affecting the City
■ Non-routine life-safety issues in or affecting the City
An emergency declaration is not required in order to implement the EOP or
activate the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The Emergency Services
Coordinator may implement the EOP as deemed appropriate for the situation or at
the request of an on-scene Incident Commander.
1.4 Plan Organization
The City EOP is composed of three main elements:
■ Basic Plan (with appendices)
■ Functional Annexes (FAs)
■ Hazard-Specific Annexes (HAs)

1.4.1 Basic Plan
The purpose of the Basic Plan is to provide a framework for emergency
operations and information regarding the City’s emergency management
structure. It serves as the primary document outlining roles and responsibilities of
elected officials during an incident. Specifically, the Basic Plan identifies:
■ Legal authorities, including the emergency declaration process,
activation of mutual aid agreements, and requests for resources and
emergency spending powers.
■ Hazards and threats facing the community, including planning
assumptions based on the City’s response capabilities.
■ Roles and responsibilities for elected officials, City departments, and
key response partners.
■ A concept of operations for the City that describes how the City will
conduct its emergency operations and coordinate with other agencies
and jurisdictions.
■ The City’s emergency response structure, including activation and
operation of the City EOC and implementation of ICS.
■ The City’s protocols for maintaining and reviewing this EOP,
including training, exercises, and public education components.
1.4.2 Functional Annexes
The FAs focus on critical tasks, capabilities, and resources provided by
emergency response agencies for the City throughout all phases of an emergency.
In the event of an incident for which the City’s capabilities and/or resources are
limited or exhausted, each annex clearly defines escalation pathways and
procedures for requesting additional resources from mutual aid agencies, followed
by County agencies. The following FAs supplement the information in the Basic
Plan:
■ FA A Alert And Warning
■ FA B Communications
■ FA C Damage Assessment
■ FA D Debris Management
■ FA E Population Protection (including evacuation)
■ FA F Public Information
■ FA G Recovery

■ FA H Resource Management
■ FA I Sheltering and Mass Care
1.4.2.1 Coordination with County Functions
During a major emergency or disaster affecting the County or a portion thereof,
when City resources are not overwhelmed by internal response, the City and
special districts may be asked to support the larger response. Requests for such
assistance are issued by the Washington County EOC.
See Section 3.2.4 for more information on the responsibilities related to the
following functions listed in Table 1-1.

1.4.3 Hazard-Specific Annexes
While this EOP has been developed as an all-hazards planning document, some
hazards may require unique considerations. To that end, HAs supplement the
Basic Plan to identify critical tasks particular to specific natural, technological,
and human-caused hazards identified in the City’s most current Hazard
Identification and Vulnerability Assessment. The HAs identify step-by-step
actions for each hazard through the pre-incident, response, and recovery phases of
an incident.
■ HA 1 – Earthquake
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-8
■ HA 2 – Flood (including Dam Failure)
■ HA 3 – Hazardous Materials Incident (Accidental Release)
■ HA 4 – Major Fire
■ HA 5 – Public Health Incident
■ HA 6 – Severe Weather (including Landslide)
■ HA 7 – Terrorism
■ HA 8 – Transportation Accident
■ HA 9 – Utility Failure
■ HA 10 – Volcano
Note: Resource shortages and civil disobedience are considered secondary risks
during any emergency situation.
1.5 Relationship to Other Plans
1.5.1 Federal Plans
The following federal plans guide emergency preparedness, response and
recovery at the federal level and provide support and guidance for state and local
operations:
■ Presidential Policy Directive 8. Describes the Nation’s approach to
preparing for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the
security of the United States.
■ National Preparedness Goal. Describes the Nation’s security and
resilience posture through identifying key mission areas and core
capabilities that are necessary to deal with great risks, using an
integrated, layered, and all-of-Nation approach as its foundation.
■ National Preparedness System. Provides guidance, programs,
processes, and systems that support each component of the National
Preparedness System to enable a collaborative, whole community
approach to national preparedness that engages individuals, families,
communities, private and nonprofit sectors, faith-based organizations,
and all levels of government.
■ National Incident Management System. Provides a consistent
nationwide framework and comprehensive approach to enable
government at all levels, the private sector, and nongovernmental
organizations to work together to prepare for, prevent, respond to,
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-9
recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents regardless of their
cause, size, location, or complexity.
■ National Response Framework (NRF). Serves as a guide to how
State and federal government should conduct all-hazards response. It
is built upon a scalable, flexible, and adaptable coordination structure
to align key roles and responsibilities across the country. It describes
specific authorities and best practices for managing incidents that
range from the serious, but purely local, to large-scale terrorist attacks
or catastrophic natural disasters.
■ National Disaster Recovery Framework. Provides guidance that
enables effective recovery support to disaster-impacted states, tribes,
and local jurisdictions. It provides a flexible structure that enables
disaster recovery managers to operate in a unified and collaborative
manner. It also focuses on how best to restore, redevelop, and
revitalize the health, social, economic, natural, and environmental
fabric of the community and build a more resilient nation.
1.5.2 State Plans
The following State plans guide emergency preparedness, response and recovery
at the State level and provide support and guidance for local operations:
■ State Emergency Management Plan. The State Emergency
Management Plan consists of three volumes:
● Volume I: Preparedness and Mitigation includes the plans and
guidance necessary for the State to prepare for and mitigate the
effects of a disaster. It includes the State disaster hazard
assessment, exercise and training programs, and plans to lessen
the physical effects of a disaster to citizens, the environment,
and property. Volume I also includes the following homeland
security specific activities:
Homeland Security State Strategy
Program Capability Review
Annual Enhancement Plan
NIMS Compliance Program
● Volume II: Emergency Operations Plan, which is also referred
to as the Basic Plan, describes in broad terms the organization
used by the State to respond to emergencies and disasters. The
EOP is supplemented by Emergency Support Function (ESF)
Annexes, Support Annexes, and Incident Annexes. It describes
common management functions, including areas common to
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-10
most major emergencies or disasters such as communications,
public information, and others.
● Volume III: Relief and Recovery provides guidance, processes,
and rules for assisting Oregonians with recovering from the
effects of a disaster. It includes procedures to be used by
government, businesses, and citizens.
■ Cascadia Subduction Zone Catastrophic Operations Plan.
Describes the roles and responsibilities of State agencies in addressing
emergency response and recovery missions in a coordinated manner
with local, tribal, and federal agencies after a catastrophic earthquake
and tsunami.
■ State Debris Management Plan. Provides a framework for State
agencies and municipalities to facilitate and coordinate the evaluation,
removal, collection, and disposal of debris following a disaster.
■ Mount Hood Coordination Plan. Outlines how various agencies will
coordinate their actions to minimize the loss of life and damage to
property before, during, and after hazardous geologic events at the
Mount Hood volcano.
■ State Emergency Alert System Plan. Mandated by the Federal
Communications Commission, this document outlines the organization
and implementation of the State of Oregon Emergency (State) Alert
System (EAS). It is the guideline for Oregon State broadcasters, cable
television operators, and State and local entities authorized to use
EAS, to determine distribution of the President's message, mandated
and optional monitoring assignments, and participation by the National
Weather Service and local and State emergency agencies.
1.5.3 Washington County Plans
The City relies on the County for many critical services during an emergency, so
it is vital for the City to be familiar with the County’s plans and how they link
with City emergency plans.
■ County Emergency Operations Plan. An all-hazard plan describing
how the County will organize and respond to events that occur in
individual cities, across the County, and in the surrounding region.
The plan describes how various agencies and organizations in the
County will coordinate resources and activities with other federal,
State, local, tribal, and private-sector partners.
■ County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Creates a framework for risk-based
decision making to reduce deaths and injuries, property damage, and
the economic impact from future disasters. Mitigation plans form the
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-11
foundation for a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster
losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and
repeated damage. Hazard mitigation is sustained action taken to
reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from
hazards.
■ Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program. The Health and
Human Services Department is responsible for developing plans to
address how public health personnel plan for, respond to, and recover
from all hazards that may impact public health, including
communicable disease, pandemic scenarios, chemical incidents,
radiological incidents, and bioterrorism. The department maintains
guidelines for public health personnel responding to a public health
incident in the County.
1.5.4 City Plans
Similar to the County’s plan, the City EOP is part of a suite of plans that address
various elements of the City’s emergency management program. While the EOP
is focused on short-term recovery, other plans address the City’s approach to
mitigation, continuity, and other aspects of emergency management. These plans,
listed below, work in concert with the City EOP:
■ Continuity of Government (COG) Plan. Coordinates the recovery
of essential functions for the City. This plan serves as a strategic
planning effort that helps ensure that the City has sufficient resources
and planning alternatives to continue its essential operations should
facilities and personnel be affected by any adverse event such as fire,
severe storm, power disturbance/interruption or an emergency or
disaster due to terrorism, natural or technological hazard.
■ Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan. Prioritizes critical services
and activities in order of importance for periods of limited capacity
characterized by a disaster or emergency situation. This plan
establishes policies and procedures, back-up capability, requirements,
and staffing needed to expeditiously restore critical services.
■ Hazard Mitigation Plan Addendum. Tigard’s citizens value a safe
community where natural resources are protected and there is minimal
danger from both natural and man-made hazards. Tigard residents
value the importance of natural systems in protecting the community
from hazards, and additionally recognize that although landslides,
earthquakes, wildfires, and floods occur naturally, the effects of these
events are often made worse by human activities. Hazards can have a
significant negative impact on a community’s quality of life. It is
important for the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Addendum
(NHMPA) to provide policy direction on how the city will manage and
mitigate hazardous conditions and events. Land use and mitigation
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-12
planning, development regulations, and emergency management play
key roles in assessing and reducing the risk to people and property
from natural hazards.
1.5.5 Support Agency Plans
The City is supported by a number of partner agencies. To the greatest extent
possible, the City encourages support agencies to design their plans to
complement the City EOP, and the City will seek to engage support agencies in
the EOP update process to ensure appropriate linkages.
■ Tigard-Tualatin School District Emergency Plan
■ TriMet Security and Emergency Preparedness Plan
■ Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency
(WCCCA) SOPs
■ Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R) EOP
■ Emergency Plans for lifeline utilities (e.g., Portland General Electric
Company, Clean Water Services, NW Natural, phone companies)
1.6 Authorities
1.6.1 Legal Authorities
In the context of this EOP, a disaster or major emergency is characterized as an
incident requiring the coordinated response of all government levels to save the
lives and protect the property of a large portion of the population. This plan is
issued in accordance with, and under the provisions of, Oregon Revised Statutes
(ORS) Chapter 401, which establishes the authority for the highest elected official
of the City Council to declare a State of Emergency.
The City does not have an office or division of emergency management services
separate from its existing departments. However, for the purposes of this plan
and consistency with the County and State plans, the City’s emergency
management structure will be referred to generally as the City Emergency
Management Organization (EMO), though no formal organization exists. The
City EMO will:
■ Coordinate planning activities necessary to prepare and maintain the
City EOP.
■ Manage and maintain the City EOC, from which City officials can
coordinate emergency and disaster response activities.
■ Establish an Incident Command structure for management of incidents
by all local emergency service agencies.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-13
■ Coordinate with County and State agencies, as well as other private,
nonprofit, volunteer, and faith-based organizations, to integrate
effective practices in emergency preparedness and response in a
manner consistent with NIMS.
Through promulgation of this plan, the City Public Works Department has been
identified as the lead agency in the EMO. The Emergency Services Coordinator
has authority and responsibility for the organization, administration, and operation
of the EMO. The Emergency Services Coordinator may delegate any of these
activities to designees, as appropriate.
The City EMO is consistent with NIMS, and procedures supporting NIMS
implementation and training for the City will be developed and formalized by the
City Emergency Services Coordinator.

1.6.2 Mutual Aid and Intergovernmental Agreements
State law (ORS 402.010 and 402.015) authorizes local governments to enter into
Cooperative Assistance Agreements with public and private agencies in
accordance with their needs (e.g., the Omnibus Mutual Aid Agreement).
Personnel, supplies, and services may be used by a requesting agency if the
granting agency cooperates and extends such services. However, without a
mutual aid pact, both parties must be aware that State statutes do not provide
umbrella protection, except in the case of fire suppression pursuant to ORS 476
(the Oregon State Emergency Conflagration Act).
Copies of existing agreements can be accessed through the City Recorder and
Public Works Office Manager. During an emergency situation, a local
declaration may be necessary to activate these agreements and allocate
appropriate resources.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction

1.7 Emergency Powers
1.7.1 General
Based on local ordinances and State statutes, a local declaration by the City
Council allows for flexibility in managing resources under emergency conditions,
such as:
■ Diverting funds and resources to emergency operations to meet
immediate needs.
■ Authorizing implementation of local emergency plans and
implementing extraordinary protective measures.
■ Receiving resources from organizations and individuals initiated
through mutual aid and cooperative assistance agreement channels.
■ Providing specific legal protection for actions initiated under
emergency conditions.
■ Setting the stage for requesting State and/or federal assistance to
augment local resources and capabilities.
■ Raising public awareness and encouraging the community to become
involved in protecting its resources.
The City Attorney should review and advise City officials on possible liabilities
arising from disaster operations, including the exercising of any or all of the
above powers.
1.7.2 City of Tigard Disaster Declaration Process
A “local emergency” or “disaster” exists whenever the City or an area therein is
suffering, or is in imminent danger of suffering, an event that may cause injury or
death to persons, or damage to or destruction of property, to the extent that
extraordinary measures must be taken to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
A local emergency may also exist whenever the City’s resources (people,
equipment, and/or facilities) are suffering, or are in imminent danger of suffering,
an event that may injure or damage them. Such an event includes, but is not
limited to, the following: fire, explosion, flood, severe weather, drought,
earthquake, volcanic activity, spills or releases of oil or hazardous material as
defined in ORS 466.605, contamination, utility or transportation emergencies,
disease, blight, infestation, civil disturbance, riot, sabotage, terrorist attack, and
war. A local emergency can be a small, confined incident such as a landslide or a
widespread event such as an earthquake or wind storm.
The local declaration process is a coordinated effort between agency emergency
managers, legal and other executive staff, the incident management team (field and
EOC), and agency elected officials. It is typically triggered by the results of a
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-16
damage assessment performed during or immediately after an incident. In the case
of widespread and/or catastrophic incidents where the impacts are obvious, the
declaration process may occur immediately without waiting for completion of a
formal assessment.
For small incidents where outside assistance is not required, City elected officials
will likely be asked to declare an emergency to invoke specific emergency
authorities authorized in the City’s codes or ordinances (e.g., suspension of normal
contracting rules).
If an incident is of such a nature or scope that it exceeds the resources available to a
local government, the City’s elected officials can declare a disaster and request
assistance from the next higher level of government (City to County to State). In
many cases, the City will declare an emergency and a disaster and request assistance
simultaneously.
An agricultural emergency can occur as part of a widespread incident and be
included in the City’s disaster declaration or it can occur independent of a broader
emergency. Such is the case in a severe, but short duration weather event (e.g.,
freeze) that heavily damages crops, but does not broadly impact people or
infrastructure. When such an incident occurs, the County Emergency Board, which
consists of local representatives from U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies and
other agriculture programs, sends a “Flash Report” to State and federal agriculture
officials and conducts a formal damage assessment. If the assessment warrants, the
County Emergency Board asks the Board of County Commissioners to declare an
agriculture emergency and seek State and federal assistance.
A declaration shall:
■ Describe the nature of the emergency.
■ Designate the geographic boundaries of the area where the emergency
exists, as well as the portion of the affected area lying within City
boundaries.
■ Estimate the number of individuals at risk, injured, or killed.
■ Describe the actual or likely damage caused by the emergency.
■ State the type of assistance or resources required to respond to the
emergency.
■ Estimate the length of time during which the designated area will
remain in an emergency status.
■ State the specific regulations or emergency measures imposed as a
result of the declaration of emergency.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-17
The declaration of emergency will be written based on the best information
available at the time. It may be amended, based on additional information or
changes in the situation. The City Attorney may be consulted to review the
declaration for legality or sufficiency of emergency measures and emergency
powers invoked within the document. If County, State, or federal assistance is
needed, the declaration must also state that all appropriate and available local
resources have been expended, are nearing depletion, or are projected to be
inadequate and that mutual aid agreements have been initiated, as well as contain
a specific request for the type(s) of assistance required.
EOC Command and General Staff have the following responsibilities in the
declaration process:
■ EOC Director: Present the package to City Council.
■ Operations: Identify necessary resources and outline any special
powers needed to respond to the emergency. Assist in the Initial
Damage Assessment (IDA).
■ Planning: Provide situation and resource summaries; conduct a
windshield survey, IDA, and Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA).
■ Logistics: Compile resource requests.
■ Finance: Track incident costs, assist in the PDA, and coordinate
damage survey activities.
See Appendix A for sample Declaration of Emergency forms.
1.7.3 Washington County Declaration Process
The Board of County Commissioners may declare a State of Emergency in the
unincorporated area of the County or any part thereof if the board determines that
the area is suffering or is in imminent danger of suffering a natural or human-
caused event that may result in injury or death to persons, damage or destroy
property, or disrupt the provision of important government and public services.
An event may include, but is not limited to, the following:
■ A civil disturbance, riot, or act of terrorism.
■ A disaster such as flood, windstorm, snow or ice storm, earthquake,
volcanic eruption or related activity, fire, explosion, or infestation.
■ The declaration of a national or State-level emergency.
■ Any major disruption of community services such as transportation,
power supply, water supply, sanitation, or communications.
■ A health hazard, whether natural or human-caused.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-18
■ Spills or releases of hazardous materials or environmental
contaminants.
■ An influx of refugees from other areas.
Notwithstanding that the declaration must be in writing, if the exigencies of the
situation make it impractical to secure an original signature or document, the
declaration or any other document provided for in this chapter may be evidenced
by a fax or electronic copy, by documenting an oral declaration or such other
steps as are reasonable under the circumstances, provided that an original signed
declaration or other document shall be obtained or provided at the earliest
practical opportunity.
1.7.4 State Assistance
The OEM Operations Officer coordinates with the agencies represented in the
State Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) to determine the best way to support
local government requests. Local government requests will be made by the
County Emergency Management Cooperative (EMC) Director on behalf of the
City. The State Operations Officer evaluates resource requests based on the goals
and priorities established by the Director. Agency representatives keep the
Operations Officer informed of resources assigned, resources available for
commitment, and the status of assigned missions.
State resources are provided to the County or City EMO or to the on-scene
Incident Commander as agreed by the entities concerned. The OEM Director
makes final decisions in cases of conflicting interest such as competing resource
requests or priority questions.
1.7.5 Federal Assistance
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides resources,
coordination, planning, training, and funding to support State and local
jurisdictions when requested by the Governor.
In the event that the capabilities of the State are not sufficient to meet the
requirements as determined by the Governor, federal assistance may be requested.
OEM coordinates all requests for federal assistance through the State ECC.
FEMA coordinates the Governor’s Presidential request for assistance in
accordance with the NRF.
1.8 Continuity of Government
1.8.1 Lines of Succession
Table 1-3 presents the policy and operational lines of succession during an
emergency for the City. Order of succession guidelines for emergency
coordination and emergency policy and governance are kept within the vital
records packet at the EOC.

Each City department is responsible for pre-identifying staff patterns showing a
line of succession in management’s absence. Lines of succession can be found in
each individual department. All employees shall be trained on the protocols and
contingency plans required to maintain leadership within their departments. The
City Manager and Emergency Services Coordinator will provide guidance and
direction to department heads to maintain continuity of government and
operations during an emergency. Individual department heads within the City are
responsible for developing and implementing COOP/COG plans to ensure
continued delivery of essential functions during an emergency.
1.8.2 Preservation of Vital Records
The City has developed a vital records packet for use during emergency events.
This packet contains records essential to executing emergency functions and
includes this EOP, emergency operating records essential to the continued
function of the City EMO, a current call-down list, a vital records inventory,
necessary keys or access codes, a list of primary and alternate facilities, and the
City’s COOP plan.
Each City department must provide for the protection, accessibility, and recovery
of the agency's vital records, systems, and equipment. These are rights and
interests records, systems, and equipment that, if irretrievable, lost, or damaged,
will materially impair the agency's ability to conduct business or carry out
essential functions. Each agency should have a maintenance program for the
preservation and quality assurance of data and systems. The program should take
into account the cost of protecting or reconstructing records weighed against the
necessity of the information for achieving the agency mission.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction

1.9 Administration and Logistics
1.9.1 Request, Allocation, and Distribution of Resources
Resource requests and emergency/disaster declarations must be submitted by the
City Emergency Services Coordinator to the County EMC according to provisions
outlined under ORS Chapter 401.
The Emergency Services Coordinator of the City is responsible for the direction
and control of the City’s resources during an emergency and for requesting any
additional resources required for emergency operations. All assistance requests
are to be made through County EMC.
1.9.1.1 Conflagration
In the case of emergencies involving fires threatening life and structures, the
Emergency Conflagration Act (ORS 476.510) can be invoked by the Governor
through the Office of State Fire Marshal. This act allows the State Fire Marshal
to mobilize and fund fire resources throughout the State during emergency
situations.
When, in the judgment of the TVF&R Fire Chief or County Fire Defense Board
Chief, an emergency is beyond the control of district fire suppression resources,
including primary mutual aid, the Fire Defense Board Chief shall report the
conditions of the emergency to the State Fire Marshal Office and/or request
mobilization of support for the [department/district]. After verifying the need for
mobilized support, the State Fire Marshal shall, if appropriate, request
authorization from the governor to invoke the Emergency Conflagration Act.
The TVF&R Fire Chief is responsible for:
■ Contacting the Fire Defense Board Chief to request the Conflagration
Act be invoked.
■ Participating in incident conference call.
■ Providing local GIS capabilities or maps.
■ Working with the IMT to locate a base camp.
■ Maintaining communications with the IMT throughout the deployment
to assist with emergency management and other local issues.
The Fire Defense Board Chief is responsible for:
■ Notifying the State Fire Marshal via the OERS.
■ Providing the following information to the OSFM Duty Officer of

1.9.2 Financial Management
1.9.2.1 Redirection of Funds
During an emergency, the City is likely to find it necessary to redirect its funds to
effectively respond to the incident. The authority to adjust department budgets
and funding priorities rests with the City Council. If an incident in the City
requires major redirection of City fiscal resources, the City Council will meet in
emergency session to decide how to respond to the emergency funding needs,
declare a State of Emergency, and request assistance through the County as
necessary. The following general procedures will be carried out:
■ The City Council will meet in emergency session to decide how to
respond to the emergency funding needs.
■ The City Council will declare a State of Emergency and request
assistance through the County.
■ If a quorum of councilors cannot be reached, and if a prompt decision
will protect lives, City resources and facilities, or private property, the
City Manager or Finance Director (in that order) may act on
emergency funding requests. The Mayor and City Council will be
advised of such actions as soon as practical.
■ To facilitate tracking of financial resources committed to the incident,
and to provide the necessary documentation, a discrete charge code for
all incident-related personnel time, losses, and purchases will be
established by the Finance Section.
1.9.2.1 Incident Costs and Expenditure Reports
All departments and divisions participating in the response will maintain detailed
records of their costs for emergency operations to include:
■ Personnel costs, including overtime and food costs
■ Equipment operations
■ Leased or rented equipment
■ Contract services to support emergency operations
■ Specialized supplies expended for emergency operations
■ Personnel and equipment obtained through mutual aid or other
agreement

■ Costs associated with providing support to outside resources (e.g.,
County, State, and/or federal teams).
Expenditure reports should be submitted to the Finance Department and managed
through the Finance Director and staff to identify budgetary shortfalls. City
Administration will support procurement issues related to personnel, both
volunteer and paid. In addition, copies of expense records and all supporting
documentation should be submitted for filing FEMA Public Assistance
reimbursement requests. During activation of the City EOC, financial
management will be handled by the Finance Section, which will be staffed by the
Finance Department.
1.9.3 Legal Support and Liability Issues
Liability issues and potential concerns among government agencies, private
entities, and other response partners and across jurisdictions are addressed in
existing mutual aid agreements and other formal memoranda established for the
City and its surrounding areas.
1.9.4 Reporting and Documentation
1.9.4.1 Reporting
Proper documentation and reporting during an emergency is critical for the City to
receive proper reimbursement for emergency expenditures and to maintain a
historical record of the incident. City staff will maintain thorough and accurate
documentation throughout the course of an incident or event. Incident
documentation and reporting should include:
■ Hazardous Materials Spill reporting – If the City is responsible for a
release of hazardous materials of a type or quantity that must be
reported to State or federal agencies, the department or agency
responsible for the spill will make the required report. If the party
responsible for a reportable spill cannot be located, the on-scene
Incident Commander will ensure that the required report(s) are made.
■ Initial Emergency Report – A short verbal report should be prepared
and transmitted by the EOC to OERS when an ongoing emergency
incident appears likely to worsen and assistance may be needed from
other local governments or the State.
■ Initial Damage Assessment (IDA) – Any time a request for State
assistance is contemplated, an IDA is coordinated by the EOC.
■ Situation Report – A daily (or more frequent) situation report should
be prepared and distributed by the EOC during major emergencies or
disasters.
■ Other reports including –

● Incident Command logs
● Cost recovery forms
● Incident critiques and After Action Reports (AARs)
1.9.4.2 Activity Logs
The Incident Command Post(s), EOC, and/or Department Operations Centers
(DOCs) will maintain accurate logs (ICS 214) of key response activities
including:
■ Activation or deactivation of emergency facilities
■ Emergency notifications to local and county governments and to state
and federal agencies
■ Request for emergency declarations
■ Significant changes in the emergency
■ Major commitments of resources or requests for additional resources
from external sources
■ Issuance of protective action recommendations to the public
■ Evacuations
■ Mass casualties
■ Containment or termination of the incident
■ Dispatch logs (DOCs only)
1.9.5 Consumer Protection
Consumer complaints regarding alleged unfair or illegal business practices might
occur in the aftermath of a disaster. Such complaints will be referred to City
Council.
1.10 Safety of Employees and Family
All department heads (or designees) are responsible for the safety of employees.
Employees should attempt to contact their supervisors and managers within the
first 24 hours following an incident. Emergency 9-1-1 should only be utilized if
emergency assistance is needed. Agencies and departments with developed
COOP plans will establish alternate facilities and staff locations, as applicable.
Notification procedures for employee duty assignments will follow the required
procedures established by each agency and department.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
1. Introduction
1-25
During biological incidents or public health emergencies such as influenza
pandemics, maintaining a resilient workforce is essential to performing the overall
response activities required to protect the City and surrounding community from
significant impacts to human lives and the economy. Thus, personnel should be
provided with tools to protect themselves and their families while they provide
health and medical services during a pandemic or other type of public health
emergency.
Currently, plans formally addressing the safety and protection of medical
personnel and response staff during a biological incident and/or contagious
outbreak have not been developed. Safety precautions and personal protective
equipment decisions will be specific to the type of incident and will require just-
in-time training among the first responder community and other support staff to
implement appropriate procedures.
If necessary, the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration, in
coordination with the Oregon Health Authority, may provide assistance and
guidance on worker safety and health issues. Information about emergency
procedures and critical tasks involved in a biological emergency incident or
disease outbreak is presented in FA Q of the County EOP.
While all City agencies and employees are expected to contribute to the
emergency response and recovery efforts of the community, employees’ first
responsibility is to their own and their families’ safety. Each employee is
expected to develop family emergency plans to facilitate family safety and self-
sufficiency, which in turn will enable employees to assume their responsibilities
to the County and its citizens as rapidly as possible.
Processes that support employees and their families during emergency situations
or disasters should be further developed through ongoing COOP planning.

analysis and preplanning for an emergency:
■ Balloon Festival – This three-day event occurs in the third weekend in
June and is attended by 20–30,000 people. Planning for the festival
starts in April, and the Public Works, Fire, and Police departments are
all involved. A DOC is set up at the Parks Building; the City utilizes
mutual aid during this event.
■ 4th of July – This event features fireworks and draws approximately
5,000 attendees.
■ Halloween – Businesses open their doors for trick-or-treating and
other festivities, the Tigard Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) is involved.

2. Situation and Assumptions
2-4
■ Technological Hazards: Result from accidents or failures of systems
and structures.
■ Human-Caused/Adversarial Threats: Result from intentional
actions of an adversary.
Table 2-1 identifies the hazard/threat most likely to impact the City based on the
community’s vulnerability and the resulting potential impacts of the hazard or

2.1.3 Hazard Analysis
The Hazard Analysis identifies the relative risk posed to the City by each hazard
and threat described above, in order to ensure that high priority hazards are
addressed in the City’s hazard mitigation planning, emergency response, and
recovery procedures. Each natural and technological/human-caused hazard is
scored using a formula that incorporates four independently weighted rating
criteria (history, vulnerability, maximum threat, and probability) and three levels
of severity (low, moderate, and high). For each hazard, the score for a given
rating criterion is determined by multiplying the criterion’s severity rating by its
weight factor. The four rating criteria scores for the hazard are then summed to
provide a total risk score for that hazard. Note that while many hazards may
occur together or as a consequence of others (e.g., dam failures cause flooding,
and earthquakes may cause landslides), this analysis considers each hazard as a
singular event.

Notes:
1. History addresses the record of previous major emergencies or disasters. Weight Factor is 2. Rating factors: high = 4
or more events in last 100 years; medium = 2–3 events in last 100 years; low = 1 or 0 events in last 100 years.
2. Vulnerability addresses the percentage of population or property likely to be affected by the average occurrence of a
hazard. Weight Factor is 5. Rating factors: high = more than 10% affected; medium = 1%–10% affected; low = less
than 1% affected.
3. Maximum Threat addresses the percentage of population or property that could be affected in a worst case incident.
Weight Factor is 10. Rating factors: high = more than 25% could be affected; medium = 5%–25% could be affected;
low = less than 5% could be affected.
4. Probability addresses the likelihood of a future hazard occurrence within a specified period of time. Weight Factor is
7. Rating factors: high = one incident likely within a 10–35 year period; medium = one incident likely within a 35–
70 year period; low = one incident likely within a 75–100 year period.
5. The hazards were given a score of one point to six points, in ascending order of importance.
2.1.4 Capability Assessment
The availability of the City’s physical and staff resources may limit its capability
to conduct short- and long-term response actions on an independent basis. City
response capabilities are also limited during periods when essential staff is on
vacation, sick, or under furlough due to budgetary constraints.
The City has not defined its core capabilities in accordance with the National
Preparedness Goal or undertaken a formal capabilities assessment to date. Should
an assessment be conducted in the future, it will help emergency responders
evaluate, coordinate, and enhance the cohesiveness of their emergency response
plans. A community capability assessment is a low impact systematic approach
to evaluate the City’s emergency plan and capability to respond to hazards.

Figure 2-3 Core Capabilities List
2.1.5 Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key
Resources
Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) support the delivery of critical
and essential services that help ensure the security, health, and economic vitality
of the City. CIKR includes the assets, systems, networks, and functions that
provide vital services to cities, states, regions, and, sometimes, the nation,
disruption to which could significantly impact vital services, produce cascading
effects, and result in large-scale human suffering, property destruction, economic
loss, and damage to public confidence and morale.
Key facilities that should be considered in infrastructure protection planning
include:
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
2. Situation and Assumptions
2-7
■ Structures or facilities that produce, use, or store highly volatile,
flammable, explosive, toxic, and/or water-reactive materials.
■ Government facilities, such as departments, agencies, and
administrative offices.
■ Hospitals, nursing homes, and housing likely to contain occupants who
may not be sufficiently mobile to avoid death or injury during a hazard
event.
■ Police stations, fire stations, vehicle and equipment storage facilities,
and EOCs that are needed for disaster response before, during, and
after hazard events.
■ Public and private utilities and infrastructure that are vital to
maintaining or restoring normal services to areas damaged by hazard
events
■ Communications and cyber systems, assets and networks such as
secure City servers and fiber optic communications lines.
2.2 Assumptions
This EOP is based on the following assumptions and limitations:
■ Essential City services will be maintained as long as conditions permit.
■ An emergency will require prompt and effective response and
recovery operations by City emergency services, disaster relief,
volunteer organizations, and the private sector.
■ All emergency response staff are trained and experienced in operating
under the NIMS/ICS protocol.
■ Each responding City and County agency will utilize existing
directives and procedures in responding to major emergencies and
disasters.
■ Environmental, technological, and civil emergencies may be of a
magnitude and severity that require State and federal assistance.
■ County support of City emergency operations will be based on the
principle of self-help. The City will be responsible for utilizing all
available local resources, along with initiating mutual aid and
cooperative assistance agreements before requesting assistance from
the County.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
2. Situation and Assumptions
2-8
■ Considering shortages of time, space, equipment, supplies, and
personnel during a catastrophic disaster, self-sufficiency will be
necessary for the first hours or days following the event.
■ Local emergency planning efforts focus on accommodating residents
while preparing for changes in population trends throughout the year.
However, significant increases to the local population may introduce
challenges in meeting the needs of non-residents and other travelers
during an emergency or disaster.
■ All or part of the City may be affected by environmental and
technological emergencies.
■ The United States Department of Homeland Security provides threat
conditions across the United States and identifies possible targets.
■ A terrorist-related incident or attack may occur without warning. If
such an attack occurs, the City could be subject to radioactive fallout
or other hazard related to weapons of mass destruction. In accordance
with national nuclear civil protection policy, two options have been
developed to counteract such a threat: population protection and
shelter-in-place programs.
■ Outside assistance will be available in most major emergency/disaster
situations that affect the City. Although this plan defines procedures
for coordinating such assistance, it is essential for the City to be
prepared to carry out disaster response and short-term actions on an
independent basis.
■ Control over City resources will remain at the City level even though
the Governor has the legal authority to assume control in a State-
declared emergency.
■ City communication and work centers may be destroyed or rendered
inoperable during a disaster. Normal operations can be disrupted
during a general emergency; however, the City can still operate
effectively if public officials, first responders, employees, volunteers,
and residents are:
● Familiar with established policies and procedures
● Assigned pre-designated tasks
● Provided with assembly instructions
● Formally trained in the duties, roles, and responsibilities
required of them during emergency operations.

3 Roles and Responsibilities
3.1 General
Local and County agencies and response partners may have various roles and
responsibilities throughout an emergency’s duration. Therefore, it is particularly
important that the local command structure be established to support response and
recovery efforts and maintain a significant amount of flexibility to expand and
contract as the situation changes. Typical duties and roles may also vary
depending on the incident’s size and severity of impacts, as well as the
availability of local resources. Thus, it is imperative to develop and maintain
depth of qualified staff within the command structure and response community.
The County EMC Director is responsible for emergency management planning
and operations for the area of the County lying outside the limits of the
incorporated municipalities. The mayor or other designated official (pursuant to
city charter or ordinance) of each incorporated City is responsible for emergency
management planning and operations for that jurisdiction. Responsibilities may
be shared with County Emergency Management under mutual agreement.
Most City departments have emergency functions that are similar to their normal
duties. Each department is responsible for developing and maintaining its own
procedures for carrying out these functions during an emergency. Specific
responsibilities are outlined below, as well as in individual annexes.
3.2 Emergency Management Organization
The Emergency Services Coordinator may, depending on the size or type of
incident, delegate the authority to lead response and recovery actions to other City
staff. These delegations of authority and limitations to authority should be
documented within the incident log. Additionally, some authority to act in the
event of an emergency may already be delegated by ordinance or by practice. As
a result, the organizational structure for the City’s emergency management
program can vary depending upon the location, size, and impact of the incident.
The EMO for the City is divided into two general groups, organized by
function—the Policy Group and Emergency Response Agencies.
3.2.1 Policy Group
The Policy Group may include representation from each City department during
an event. The Policy Group is responsible for the activities conducted within its
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
3. Roles and Responsibilities
3-2
jurisdiction. The members of the group include both elected and appointed
executives with legal responsibilities. Key general responsibilities for local
elected and appointed officials include:
■ Establishing strong working relationships with local jurisdictional
leaders and core private-sector organizations, voluntary agencies, and
community partners.
■ Leading and encouraging local leaders to focus on preparedness by
participating in planning, training, and exercises.
■ Supporting staff participation in local mitigation efforts within the
jurisdiction, including the private sector, as appropriate.
■ Understanding and implementing laws and regulations that support
emergency management and response.
■ Ensuring that local emergency plans take into account the needs of:
● The jurisdiction, including persons, property, and structures
● Vulnerable populations, including unaccompanied children and
those with service animals
● Individuals with household pets
■ Leading and encouraging all citizens (including vulnerable
populations) to take preparedness actions.
■ Encouraging residents to participate in volunteer organizations and
training courses.
3.2.1.1 Mayor and City Council
The ultimate responsibility for policy, budget, and political direction for the City
government is borne by the City Council. During emergencies, this responsibility
includes encouraging citizen involvement and citizen assistance, issuing policy
statements as needed to support actions and activities of recovery and response
efforts, and providing the political contact needed for visiting State and federal
officials. Additionally, the council will provide elected liaison with the
community and other jurisdictions. In the event that declaration of emergency is
needed, the Mayor (or designee) will initiate and terminate the State of
Emergency through a declaration ratified by the council.
General responsibilities of the Mayor and City Council include:
■ Establishing emergency management authority by city ordinance.
■ Adopting an EOP and other emergency management–related
resolutions.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan

the following tasks:
■ Ensuring that all City departments develop, maintain, and exercise
their respective service annexes to this plan.
■ Supporting the overall preparedness program in terms of its budgetary
and organizational requirements.
■ Implementing the policies and decisions of the governing body.
■ Ensuring that plans are in place to protect and preserve City records.
3.2.1.3 Emergency Services Coordinator
The Emergency Services Coordinator has the day-to-day authority and
responsibility for overseeing emergency management programs and activities.
The Emergency Services Coordinator works with the Policy Group to ensure that
there are unified objectives with regard to the City’s emergency plans and
activities, including coordinating all aspects of the City’s capabilities. The
Emergency Services Coordinator coordinates all components of the local
emergency management program, including assessing the availability and
readiness of local resources most likely required during an incident and
identifying and correcting any shortfalls. In particular, the Emergency Services
Coordinator is responsible for:
■ Serving as staff advisor to the Mayor, City Council, and City Manager
for emergency matters.
■ Coordinating the planning and general preparedness activities of the
government and maintenance of this plan.

3.2.1.4 City Department Heads
Department and agency heads collaborate with the Policy Group during
development of local emergency plans and provide key response resources. City
department and agency heads and their staffs develop, plan, and train to learn
internal policies and procedures for meeting response and recovery needs safely.
They also make staff available to participate in interagency training and exercise
to develop and maintain the necessary capabilities, as well as clearly reinforce
preparedness expectations. Department and agency heads not assigned a specific
function in this plan will be prepared to make their resources available for
emergency duty at the direction of the City Manager.
3.2.2 Responsibilities of All Departments
Individual departments are an integral part of the emergency organization. While
some departments’ staff comprises emergency response personnel, the majority of
City departments focus on supporting emergency response personnel and/or the
continuity of services they provide to the public.
All City departments are responsible for:
■ Supporting EOC operations to ensure that the City is providing for the
safety and protection of the citizens it serves.
■ Establishing, in writing, an ongoing line of succession and/or
delegation of authority for each department.
■ Developing alert and notification procedures for department personnel.

3.5 Local and Regional Response Partners
The City’s emergency organization is supported by a number of outside
organizations, including the County, service organizations, and the private sector.
3.5.1 Private Sector
Private-sector organizations play a key role before, during, and after an incident.
First, they must provide for the welfare and protection of their employees in the
workplace. In addition, the City and County must work seamlessly with
businesses that provide water, power, communication networks, transportation,
medical care, security, and numerous other services upon which both response
and recovery are particularly dependent. Essential private-sector responsibilities
include:
■ Planning for the protection of employees, infrastructure, and facilities.
■ Planning for the protection of information and the continuity of
business operations.
■ Planning for, responding to, and recovering from incidents that impact
private-sector infrastructure and facilities.
■ Collaborating with emergency management personnel before an
incident occurs to ascertain what assistance may be necessary and how
private-sector organizations can help.
■ Developing and exercising emergency plans before an incident occurs.
■ Where appropriate, establishing mutual aid and assistance agreements
to provide specific response capabilities.
■ Providing assistance (including volunteers) to support local emergenc y
management and public awareness during response and throughout the
recovery process.
3.5.2 Nongovernmental and Faith-Based Organizations
Nongovernmental and faith-based organizations play enormously important roles
before, during, and after an incident. In the City, nongovernmental/faith-based
organizations such as the Red Cross provide sheltering, emergency food supplies,
counseling services, and other vital support services to support response and
promote the recovery of disaster victims. Nongovernmental and faith-based
organizations also collaborate with responders, governments at all levels, and
other agencies and organizations.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
3. Roles and Responsibilities
3-21
The roles of nongovernmental and faith-based organizations in an emergency may
include:
■ Training and managing volunteer resources.
■ Identifying shelter locations and needed supplies.
■ Providing critical emergency services to those in need, such as
cleaning supplies, clothing, food, shelter, and assistance with post-
emergency cleanup.
■ Identifying those whose needs have not been met and helping to
coordinate assistance.
3.5.3 Individuals and Households
Although not formally a part of the City’s emergency operations, individuals and
households play an important role in the overall emergency management strategy.
Community members can contribute by:
■ Reducing hazards in their homes.
■ Preparing emergency supply kits and household emergency plans that
consider all members of the household, including children and pets.
■ Monitoring emergency communications carefully.
■ Volunteering with established organizations.
■ Enrolling in emergency response training courses.
■ Encouraging children to participate in preparedness activities.
3.6 County Response Partners
The County EMC Director has been appointed under the authority of the Board of
County Commissioners. The County EMC Director is responsible for developing
a Countywide emergency management program that, through cooperative
planning efforts with the incorporated communities of the County, will provide a
coordinated response to a major emergency or disaster.
See the County Emergency Operations Plan for details on the County’s
emergency management organization and detailed roles and responsibilities for
County departments.
3.7 State Response Partners
Under the provisions of ORS 401.035, the Governor has broad responsibilities for
the direction and control of all emergency activities in a State-declared
emergency. The administrator of OEM is delegated authority by ORS 401.052 to
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
3. Roles and Responsibilities
3-22
401.092 to coordinate all activities and organizations for emergency management
within the State and to coordinate in emergency matters with other states and the
federal government.
Under the direction and control of department heads, agencies of State
government represent the State emergency operations organization.
Responsibility for conducting ESFs is assigned by the Governor to the department
best suited to carry out each function applicable to the emergency situation. Some
State agencies may call upon their federal counterparts to provide additional
support and resources following established procedures and policies for each
agency.
See the State of Oregon Emergency Operations Plan for details on the State’s
emergency management organization and detailed roles and responsibilities for
State departments.
3.8 Federal Response Partners
Federal response partners are typically requested by OEM in the event that State
resources become limited or specialized services are needed. In most instances,
federal resources become available following a formal declaration of emergency
by the Governor. Thus, procedures and policies for allocating and coordinating
resources at the federal level follow the Oregon Emergency Management Plan
and, if necessary, the NRF.
See the National Response Framework for details on the federal government’s
emergency management organization and detailed roles and responsibilities for
federal departments.
4-1
4 Concept of Operations
4.1 General
Primary roles involved during the initial emergency response will focus on first
responders, such as fire services, police services, and the public works
department. Depending on the type of incident, initial response also may include
hospitals, local public health departments, and hazardous material teams. In all
emergencies, saving and protecting human lives is the top priority of the City and
emergency response personnel.
The City of Tigard is responsible for emergency management and protecting life
and property of citizens within this jurisdiction. This EOP will be used when the
City or individual emergency response agencies are reaching or have exceeded
their capabilities to respond to an emergency. It may also be used during non-
routine incidents or pre-planned events when City resources are limited and/or
have been expended.
4.2 Emergency Management Mission Areas
This plan adheres to the emergency management principle of all-hazards
planning, which is based on the fact that most responsibilities and functions
performed during an emergency are not hazard-specific. The focus of this EOP is
response and short-term recovery actions. Nevertheless, this plan impacts and is
informed by activities conducted before and after emergency operations take
place and is designed to assist the City in the following five mission areas.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-2
Figure 4-1 City of Tigard Emergency Management Mission Areas
4.3 Response and Recovery Priorities
4.3.1 Response
Response activities within the City are undertaken immediately after an incident.
The City’s response priorities are defined below:
1. Lifesaving: Efforts to save lives and operations that minimize risks to
public health and safety.
2. Property: Efforts to reduce impacts to CIKR and minimize property
damage.
3. Environment: Efforts to mitigate long-term impacts to the environment.
4.3.2 Recovery
Recovery activities will begin as soon as conditions permit following an incident.
It is the responsibility of all levels of government to assist the public and private
sectors with recovery from disaster. A widespread disaster will impact the ability
of businesses to function, disrupt employment, interrupt government services, and
impact tax revenues within the City. This EOP is not a recovery plan; however,
Prevention
To avoid, intervene, or stop an
incident from occurring in order
to protect lives and property
Protection
To reduce the vulnerability of
Critical Infrastructure and Key
Resources by deterring,
mitigating, or neutralize terrorist
attacks, major disasters, and
other emergencies
Mitigation
To comprehensively reduce
hazard related losses with the
goal of ensuring the safety and
security of citizens,
infrastructure protection, and
economic stability
Response
To address the short-term and
direct effects of an incident,
including immediate actions to
save lives, protect property, and
meet basic human needs
Recovery
To restore vital services;
personal, social, and economic
wellbeing of citizens; and
communities to pre-event or
updated conditions.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-3
the City recognizes that response and recovery activities often take place
concurrently until the life safety and emergency protective actions are completed.
Recovery operations are the actions taken to restore vital services, help citizens
resume self-sufficiency, and help communities return to pre-event or “new
normal” conditions. Short-term recovery involves the restoration of critical
services such as communications, water supply, sewage service, emergency
medical capabilities, and electricity, as well as garbage and debris removal.
These functions must occur early in the emergency response to support the life,
health, and safety of the population and to support other emergency operations.
The City’s recovery priorities for CIKR are defined below:
1. Initial Damage Assessment: Determine structure impacts to the City.
2. Debris Removal: Coordinate debris clearance, collection, and removal.
3. Infrastructure Restoration: Facilitate restoration of CIKR.
4.4 Incident Levels
Level 1 incidents assist local, County, and State response agencies in recognizing
the degree of intensity and potential impact of a particular situation. Emergency
situations within the City will not always fit neatly into these levels, and any
incident has the potential to intensify or expand to a higher level. Special
circumstances or external pressures may warrant outside assistance for relatively
minor incidents. The City adheres to the following incident typing scheme.
4.4.1 Level 1 – Routine Operations
Level 1 incidents include daily activities, such as incidents such as burglaries and
road closures, that are routine in nature and managed by department and/or
agency field resources without the need for higher level coordination. Routine
operations are defined but not addressed in this plan. In a Level 1 incident:
■ Resource management is handled internally.
■ Information management is handled internally.
■ Command management is handled internally.
■ Policy coordination is handled internally.
4.4.2 Level 2 – Minor/Expanded Incident
A Level 2 incident is a fairly common incident that may be large in scale or scope
and involve multiple sites and/or disciplines but that can still be managed with
existing department/agency resources. Examples include a winter storm with
multiple road closures or a hazardous materials spill requiring an evacuation of a
limited area. A higher level of management and coordination is typically
required, and a local emergency may be declared. A Level 2 emergency involves:
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-4
■ A limited area and/or impact to a limited population.
■ Evacuation or in-place sheltering, typically limited to the immediate
area of the incident and lasting for limited duration. One or two local
response departments acting under an Incident Commander.
■ Limited external assistance from other local response agencies or
contractors.
■ Activation of the City message center to provide emergency
information and recommended actions to the public.
In addition, a Level 2 incident has the following characteristics:
■ Warning and public instructions are provided in the immediate area,
not community-wide, other than to avoid the area.
■ Resource management typically requires coordination at a DOC level
and may require coordination at the EOC level.
■ Information management typically requires coordination at a DOC
level and may require coordination at the EOC level.
■ Command management typically requires coordination at a DOC level
and may require coordination at the EOC level.
■ Policy coordination may be required at the departmental or city level
to deal with a few major issues.
4.4.3 Level 3 – Major Incident
A Level 3 incident is an uncommon incident that is typically large in scale and
scope and requires outside assistance, such as a major flood or moderate
earthquake. Centralization of a department’s or agency’s incident management
and coordination activities is required. Local emergencies (City and County) will
be declared as appropriate, and a State emergency may also be declared. A
Presidential Disaster Declaration may be requested. Some major incidents may
also be designated Incidents of National Significance. A Level 3 emergency:
■ Affects a large area, significant population, and/or important facilities.
■ May require implementation of large-scale evacuation or in-place
sheltering and implementation of temporary shelter and mass care
operations, possibly for extended durations.
■ May require community-wide warning and public instructions.
■ May require activation of the City message center to provide
emergency information and recommended actions to the public.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-5
■ Requires a sizable multi-agency response operating under one or more
Incident Commanders.
■ May require external assistance from other local response agencies,
contractors, and limited assistance from State or federal agencies.
In addition, a Level 3 incident has the following characteristics:
■ Resource management requires coordination at the EOC level.
■ Information management requires coordination at the EOC level.
■ Command management requires coordination at the EOC level.
■ Policy coordination is required at the city and county level to deal with
many major issues.
■ In addition, DOCs, a Joint Field Office, a JIC, and perhaps a regional
EOC will likely be activated to deal with resource, information, and
command management.
4.4.4 Level 4 – Disaster/Catastrophic Incident
A Level 4 incident is a very rare incident that is broad in scope, complexity, and
potentially lasting impact and significantly reduces the government’s ability to
help itself or others, such as a subduction zone earthquake. Outside assistance is
clearly needed, and extraordinary incident management and coordination
measures are required. Local and State emergencies will be declared, and a
Presidential Disaster Declaration will likely be requested. All Catastrophic
Incidents will be Incidents of National Significance. A Level 4 incident:
■ Affects a large area, a sizable population, and/or important facilities.
■ May require implementation of large-scale evacuation or in-place
sheltering and implementation of temporary shelter and mass care
operations.
■ Requires community-wide warning and public instructions.
■ Requires activation of the City message center to provide emergency
information and recommended actions to the public.
■ Requires a response by all local response agencies operating under one
or more Incident Commanders.
■ Requires significant external assistance from other local response
agencies, contractors, and extensive State or federal assistance.
In addition, a Level 4 incident has the following characteristics:
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-6
■ The EOC will be activated to provide strategic guidance and direction,
provide emergency information to the public, coordinate State and
federal support, and coordinate resource support for emergency
operations.
■ Resource management requires coordination at the EOC level.
■ Information management requires coordination at the EOC level.
■ Command management requires coordination at the EOC level.
■ Policy coordination is required at the City and County levels or above
to deal with many major issues.
■ In addition, DOCs, a Joint Field Office, a Joint Information Center,
possibly a regional EOC, and the State ECC will be activated to deal
with resource, information, and command management.
4.4.5 NIMS Incident Levels
While the City uses the incident levels described above, incident types at the
federal level are based on the five levels of complexity that ascend from relatively
minor incidents (Type 5, e.g., vehicle fire) to a major disaster (Type 1) resulting
in high impact on the City and requiring national response resources (source: U.S.
Fire Administration).
During an incident,
■ Where federal agencies are involved in response and recovery
operations (Type 3), or
■ Where national resources are impacted (such as waters of the U.S.),
requiring response from federal agencies
Incident levels identified in this EOP will transition to the NIMS incident levels.
Refer to Table 4-1 for further information on NIMS incident levels.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan

The incident can be handled with one or two single resources
with up to six personnel.
Command and General Staff positions (other than the Incident
Commander) are not activated.
No written Incident Action Plan (IAP) is required.
The incident is contained within the first operational period and
often within an hour to a few hours after resources arrive on
scene.
Examples include a vehicle fire, an injured person, or a police
traffic stop.
Ty
p
e
4
Command and General Staff functions are activated only if
needed.
Several resources are required to mitigate the incident.
The incident is usually limited to one operational period in the
control phase.
The agency administrator may have briefings and ensure that the
complexity analysis and delegation of authority are updated.
No written IAP is required, but a documented operational
briefing will be completed for all incoming resources.
The agency administrator develops operational plans, including
objectives and priorities.
Ty
p
e
3
When capabilities exceed initial attack, the appropriate ICS
positions should be added to match the complexity of the
incident.
Some or all Command and General Staff positions may be
activated, as well as Division/Group Supervisor and/or Unit
Leader level positions.
A Type 3 Incident Management Team or Incident Command
organization manages initial action incidents with a significant
number of resources, an extended attack incident until
containment/control is achieved, or an expanding incident until
transition to a Type 1 or 2 team.
The incident may extend into multiple operational periods.
A written IAP may be required for each operational period.

The incident extends beyond the capabilities for local control
and is expected to extend into multiple operational periods. A
Type 2 incident may require the response of resources out of
area, including regional and/or national resources, to effectively
manage the Operations, Command, and General Staffing.
Most or all of the Command and General Staff positions are
filled.
A written IAP is required for each operational period.
Many of the functional units are needed and staffed.
Operations personnel normally do not exceed 200 per
operational period, and total incident personnel do not exceed
500 (guidelines only).
The agency administrator is responsible for the incident
complexity analysis, agency administrator briefings, and the
written delegation of authority.

A Type 1 incident is the most complex, requiring national
resources to safely and effectively manage and operate.
All Command and General Staff positions are activated.
Operations personnel often exceed 500 per operational period,
and total personnel will usually exceed 1,000.
Branches need to be established.
The agency administrator will hold briefings and ensure that the
complexity analysis and delegation of authority are updated.
Use of resource advisors at the incident base is recommended.
There is a high impact on the local jurisdiction, requiring
additional staff for office administrative and support functions.
4.5 Incident Management
4.5.1 Activation
When an emergency situation arises, and it is determined that the normal
organization and functions of City government are insufficient to effectively meet
response requirements, the City Manager, Public Works Director, Police
Department Chief, or Emergency Services Coordinator may implement the EOP
as deemed appropriate for the situation or at the request of an on-scene Incident
Commander. In addition, these individuals may partially or fully activate and
staff the City EOC based on an emergency’s type, size, severity, and anticipated
duration. An emergency declaration is not required in order to implement the
EOP or activate the EOC. Upon notification that the EOC has been activated
and/or an emergency has been declared, all involved City emergency services will
implement their respective plans and procedures, and provide the EOC Director
with the following information:
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-9
■ Operational status
■ Readiness and availability of resources
■ Changing conditions and status of resources (personnel, equipment,
facilities, supplies, etc.)
■ Significant concerns and issues dealing with potential or actual loss of
life or property
Refer to the immediate actions checklist for further information on initial actions
to be taken by the Emergency Manager (or designee) upon implementation of all
or part of this EOP.
4.5.1.1 Activation Levels
Depending on the size and scope of the incident and the amount of coordination
required, a partial or full activation of the EOC or a DOC will be called for. The
EOC/DOC will be activated at a level necessary to carry out the tasks that must be
performed.
1. Partial – This is a limited activation of the EOC or DOCs and is typically
used for establishing specific functions without activating the entire
response organization.
2. Full – A full activation of the City EOC and/or DOCs will be
implemented during all major and disaster/catastrophic incidents and for
some expanded incidents. It will be based on the resource management,
information coordination, and notification requirements of the incident.
For full activations, all members of shift one and shift two EOC response
teams will be activated. These response teams are composed of pre-
designated functional area representatives from city departments and
divisions. Since a DOC is tactical, a DOC will be activated by the
affected department based on the needs for coordination of field resources.
3. Expanded Dispatch at WCCCA – TVF&R operate an expanded dispatch
function which provides a structure and procedure for optimizing
fire/rescue resource management during large incidents and major
emergencies when demand for fire resources exceeds system capacity and
incident prioritization may be necessary, but Fire Operations Center or
EOC activation is not needed. Expanded dispatch is located at WCCCA
and is supported by Hillsboro and TVF&R Incident Management Teams.
4.5.1.2 Flexibility in Application
For some types of emergencies, a specific incident scene may not exist in the
initial response phase and the EOC may accomplish initial response actions such
as mobilizing resources and issuing precautionary warning to the public. As the
potential threat becomes clearer and a specific impact site, or sites, is identified,
an Incident Command Post may be established and tactical control of the response
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-10
transitioned to an Incident Commander at the scene. Such situations may include
an ice storm or winter storm.
In these and other situations, it is imperative to maintain flexibility and determine
the best method for accomplishing the mission. Some situations may be better
coordinated by combining various EOCs and DOCs, e.g., for a relatively small
emergency with a single department focus where resources are needed to assist
the DOC.
4.5.2 Response Operations
4.5.2.1 Initial Response
First responders and others are charged with many functions. Initial response
functions are the responsibility of individual departments and are discussed here
only to provide an understanding of how those actions fit into the broader
structure of the City EOP. It is the intent of this plan to discuss the response
actions required at the DOC level and higher.
When required, the first responder to arrive at the scene of an emergency situation
will implement ICS and serve as the on-scene Incident Commander until relieved
by a competent authority. The on-scene Incident Commander will assess the
situation, identify response resources required, and manage the on-scene response.
See Chapter 5 for information on EOC, DOC, and Message Center operations,
and levels of coordination.
4.5.3 Alert and Warning
Warnings, emergency information and notifications, or disaster reports received
by City personnel will be relayed to the Emergency Services Coordinator and the
WCCCA. City response personnel will communicate and receive notifications
using traditional communications technology such as landline and cellular
telephones, faxes, pagers, internet/e-mail, and radio throughout the duration of
response activities as long as these resources are available. Emergency
notification procedures are established among the response community, and call-
down lists are updated and maintained by each agency. External partners will be
notified and coordinated through the City EOC as appropriate.
See FA 1 – Alert and Warning for more details.
4.5.4 Communications
The ability of responders from different agencies and disciplines to work together
depends greatly on their ability to communicate with each other. Plain language
is essential to first responder and public safety, and will be used by all City
personnel during emergencies. The use of common terminology enables
emergency responders, EOC personnel, and City staff, as well as personnel from
neighboring jurisdictions, the County, or State to communicate clearly with each
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-11
other and effectively coordinate response activities, regardless of an incident’s
size, scope, or complexity.
Through the County, a public warning and broadcast system has been established
for the City to provide emergency information and instructions during a pending
or actual emergency incident or disaster.
See FA B – Communications for more details.
4.5.4.1 Interoperability
Interoperability is the ability of public and private agencies, departments, and
other organizations to operate and communicate effectively together through the
use of systems, personnel, and equipment. In recognition that successful
emergency management and incident response operations require the continuous
flow of critical information among jurisdictions, disciplines, organizations, and
agencies, interoperability plans or procedures should be developed that include
training and exercises, SOPs, new technology, and considerations of individual
agency governance, as well as consideration of use within the stressful and often
chaotic context of a major response. Interoperable voice, data, or video-on-
demand communication systems allow emergency management/response
personnel to communicate within and across agencies and jurisdictions in real
time, when needed, and when authorized.
4.5.5 Situational Awareness and Intelligence Gathering
Situational awareness and intelligence gathering are necessary to maintain a
common operating picture among response agencies and is the basis for
emergency alert and warning (when an incident alert is not received by an outside
agency). Situational awareness is the ongoing process of collecting, analyzing,
and sharing information across agencies, intergovernmental levels, and the private
sector. Intelligence gathering is the collecting of security and operational
information, such as severe weather forecasts from the National Weather Service.
Intelligence gathering may also be used to detect, prevent, apprehend, and
prosecute criminals planning terrorist incidents.
On a day-to-day basis, and during Level 1 and 2 incidents when the EOC is not
fully activated, the City, primary agencies, and supporting response agencies will:
■ Be aware of their surroundings and identify and report potential threats
and dangerous situations.
■ Share and evaluate information from multiple sources.
■ Integrate communications and reporting activities among responding
agencies.
■ Monitor threats and hazards.
■ Share forecasting of incident severity and needs.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-12
If activated, the EOC Planning Section Chief will lead situational awareness and
intelligence gathering activities and functions, unless otherwise designated. If a
criminal or terrorist incident is suspected, the City Police Department will notify
the Oregon Terrorism Information Threat Assessment Network Fusion Center
(OTFC) through the County Sheriff’s Office. During a terrorist incident, the
OTFC will support situational awareness and intelligence gathering functions.
4.5.6 Emergency Public Information
PIOs will collect, analyze, develop, coordinate, and release timely, accurate, and
important public information to the public and media as follows:
■ On-Scene – Until the EOC is opened, the PIO on scene provides
information to the media, with the approval of the on-scene Incident
Commander. Once the EOC is activated, PIO functions are directed
from the EOC. In addition to formal news releases from the EOC PIO,
the on-scene PIO can continue to provide information regarding
response activities.
■ Department Operations Center – Releases department-level public
information (e.g., road closure information) approved by the on-scene
Incident Commander.
■ Emergency Operations Center – Releases City-wide public
information approved by the EOC Director. Coordination of media
releases will be made with the DOCs, EOCs, and regional EOC if
activated.
■ Joint Information System – Provides assistance to PIOs in
performing their tasks. A JIS may be managed at the County EOC,
regional EOC if activated, or a location near the impacted area.
See FA F – Public Information of this plan for more information.
4.5.7 Resource Management
City resources will be managed by an on-scene Incident Commander, a DOC, or
the EOC. When the EOC is activated, the Logistics and Planning Sections have
primary responsibility for strategic direction and coordination of resource
management efforts and has authority under emergency conditions to establish
priorities for the assignment and use of all City resources. The EOC also serves
as the clearinghouse for resource requests from local responders, coordination
with other responding organizations, and arranging for State and federal resource
support if warranted. In a situation where resource allocations are in dispute, the
City Manager has the final allocation authority. City resources will be allocated
according to the following guidelines:
■ Deploy resources according to the following priorities:
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-13
1. Protection of life
2. Protection of responding resources
3. Protection of public facilities
4. Protection of private property
■ Distribute resources so that the most benefit is provided for the amount
of resources expended.
■ Coordinate citizen appeals for assistance through the PIO at the EOC
or JIC. Use local media to provide citizens with information about
where to make these requests.
■ Activate mutual aid agreements as necessary to supplement local
resources.
■ When all local resources are committed or expended, issue a request to
the County for County, State, and federal resources through an
emergency declaration.
4.5.7.1 Resource Typing
The City has implemented resource typing, which is a method for standardizing
equipment requests and managing resources during an incident in accordance with
NIMS. A resource typed list can increase the usefulness of the tools requested
during an emergency and may reduce costs by eliminating orders for equipment
that are inaccurate or inappropriate for the situation. Response personnel and
support staff are trained and exercise using resource typing lists to ensure they are
familiar with the standard terminology for commonly requested resources.
4.5.7.2 Credentialing of Personnel
At this time, the City has not implemented a formalized credentialing program.
Should one be implemented, the program will be developed with technical
assistance from OEM and provide for documenting personnel and authenticating
and verifying their qualifications.
4.5.7.3 Volunteer and Donations Management
The City has a formal volunteer and donations management program in place.
The program will work to ensure the most efficient and effective use of
unaffiliated volunteers, unaffiliated organizations, and unsolicited donated goods
to support events and incidents. Technical assistance for implementing
NIMS/ICS volunteer and donations management procedures is available from
OEM.
During a Level 2 incident, when the EOC is activated and an emergency has not
been declared, the City Volunteer and Donation Manager in the Logistics Section
will coordinate and manage volunteer services and donated goods through the
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-14
City EOC, with support from the Red Cross, Salvation Army, the City’s CERT,
and other volunteer organizations. If the incident escalates and requires a
declaration of an emergency, then the City Volunteer and Donation Manager will
coordinate volunteer and donations management support with the County.
4.5.8 Access and Functional Needs Populations
Access to emergency services shall not be denied on the grounds of color,
national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, or functional needs. Access and
Functional Needs Populations (also referred to as vulnerable populations and
special needs populations) are members of the community who experience
physical, mental, or medical care needs and who may require assistance before,
during, and after an emergency incident after exhausting their usual resources and
support network.
Examples of individuals who have access and functional needs include, but are
not limited to:
■ Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing
■ Individuals with limited English proficiency
■ Children and the elderly
■ Individuals without vehicles
■ Individuals with special dietary needs
■ Individuals who experience physical disabilities
Persons with access and functional needs within the City have the primary
responsibility for minimizing the impact of disasters through personal
preparedness activities. To the greatest extent possible, the City Emergency
Services Coordinator will assist them in carrying out this responsibility by
providing preparedness information, emergency public information, and critical
public services in an accessible manner.
The following programs are currently in place to support access and functional
needs populations:
■ Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD)/Teletype (TTY)
contact and captioned alert for hearing impaired persons (accessible
through the Tigard Switchboard)
■ Spanish/English outreach program maintained through the following
departments: Public Works, Tigard Public Library, and County
Services.
■ Identified language skills of City employees.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-15
■ Disabled access to City facilities.
■ Routine fire inspections of adult assisted living facilities, rest homes,
nursing homes, and hospitals.
■ Identified transportation assistance for people who experience physical
disabilities.
4.5.9 Demobilization
As the emergency situation progresses and the immediate response subsides, a
transition period will occur during which emergency responders will hand
responsibility for emergency coordination to agencies involved with short- and
long-term recovery operations.
The following issues will be considered when demobilizing:
■ Identification of surplus resources and probable resource release times
■ Demobilization priorities as established by the on-scene Incident
Commander and/or EOC Director
■ Released or demobilized response resources as approved by the on-
scene Incident Commander and/or EOC Director
■ Repair and maintenance of equipment, if necessary.
The City Manager, with advice from EOC Director, Emergency Services
Coordinator and/or on-scene Incident Commander, will determine when a State of
Emergency no longer exists, emergency operations can be terminated, and normal
City functions can be restored.
4.5.10 Transition to Recovery
Once the immediate response phase has been completed, the City will turn
towards recovery to restore government function and community services. A
transition from response to recovery may occur at different times in different
areas of the City.
Short-term operations seek to restore vital services to the community and provide
for the basic needs of the public, such as bringing necessary lifeline systems (e.g.,
power, communication, water and sewage, disposal of solid and hazardous
wastes, or removal of debris) to an acceptable standard while providing for basic
human needs (e.g., food, clothing, and shelter). Once stability is achieved, the
City can concentrate on long-term recovery efforts, which focus on restoring the
community to a “new normal” or improved state.
During the recovery period, the City will review and implement mitigation
measures, collect lessons learned and share them within the emergency response
community, and reassess this EOP, including annexes, to identify deficiencies and
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
4. Concept of Operations
4-16
take corrective actions. Resources to restore or upgrade damaged areas may be
available if the City demonstrates that extra repairs will mitigate or lessen the
chances of, or damages caused by, another similar disaster in the future.
5-1
5 Command and Control
5.1 General
The ultimate responsibility for command and control of City departments and
resources lies with the City Manager. City emergency operations, both on-scene
and in the City EOC, will be conducted in a manner consistent with NIMS,
including use of ICS. During a City-declared disaster, control is not relinquished
to County or State authority but remains at the local level for the duration of the
event
5.2 On-Scene Incident Management
Initial response to an incident will be managed by the responding agency (i.e.,
City Public Works Department, City Police Department, and/or TVF&R), who
will assign an on-scene Incident Commander. The on-scene Incident Commander
is responsible for performing or directing such duties as enforcing emergency
measures and designating emergency areas. During the initial response, the on-
scene Incident Commander may establish an Incident Command Post and may
assume the responsibilities of Command Staff until delegated. Upon
establishment of ICS, the on-scene Incident Commander will notify the City
Emergency Services Coordinator and request activation of the City EOC, as
appropriate. The on-scene Incident Commander may also establish an on-scene
Unified Command structure with City, County, and State leads.
5.3 Emergency Operations Center Support to On-
Scene Operations
Depending on the type and size of incident, or at the request of the on-scene
Incident Commander, the City may activate the EOC and assign an EOC Director.
The EOC and EOC Director support on-scene operations and coordinate with
DOCs, if activated, for City resources. The request will be submitted to the City
Emergency Services Coordinator, who will determine whether to activate the City
EOC and will assume, or designate, the role of EOC Director. In most instances,
the on-scene Incident Commander will retain tactical control over the incident,
relying on the City EOC for resource coordination, communications, and public
information support. In a more complex incident, the Incident Commander may
relocate to the City EOC to serve as part of the Unified Command or Multi-
Agency Coordination Group (MAC Group), ensuring proper coordination of
resources across agencies. Outside assistance from neighboring jurisdictions or
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-2
from private contractors will be requested and used as an adjunct to existing City
services, and then only when a situation threatens to expand beyond the City’s
response capabilities.
Upon activation of the City EOC, the EOC Director is empowered to assume
executive control over all departments, divisions, and offices of the City during a
State of Emergency. If appropriate, the on-scene Incident Commander or EOC
Director may request that the Mayor or City Manager declare a State of
Emergency.
5.4 Emergency Operations Center
The EOC supports incident response activities, including tracking, management,
and allocation of appropriate resources and personnel, and may also serve as a
Multi-Agency Coordination Center, if needed. The EOC will be activated upon
notification of a possible or actual emergency. During large-scale emergencies,
the EOC may become the City seat of government for the duration of the crisis.
General responsibilities of the EOC include:
■ Receiving emergency warnings and disseminate warnings to the
public.
■ Providing emergency information and instructions to the general
public and private institutions, business, industry, and disaster relief
organizations.
■ Coordinating public information collection and dissemination.
■ Coordinating command decisions and prioritization of response
activities.
■ Collecting, collating, displaying, and assessing situation reports.
■ Coordinating and disseminating situation and resource status
information to the DOC, City EOC, regional EOC if activated, and
State ECC.
■ Analyzing information and processing it into usable and relevant
intelligence to assist with Command decisions.
■ Setting strategic goals for the City and Citywide actions.
■ Developing tactical objectives for department actions where those
departments are not represented by a DOC.
■ Providing resource support to DOCs and other local agencies.
■ Coordinating the Initial Damage Assessment (IDA) process Citywide.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-3
■ Organizing and implementing large-scale evacuation.
■ Organizing and implementing mass shelter and arrangements for
evacuees.
■ Requesting assistance from the County, State, and other external
sources.
■ Prioritizing resource allocations.
■ Receiving requests for assistance and emergency information from the
public.
■ Establishing guidelines for the ordering of, use of, and release of
resources to meet emergency needs.
■ Documenting incident activity.
■ Tracking costs.
■ Establishing and maintaining contact with:
● County and State agencies
● Federal agencies
● Private agencies that assist in emergency operations
● General public, business, industry, community organizations,
and disaster relief agencies
5.4.1 Emergency Operations Center Activation
During emergency operations, and upon activation of the EOC, EOC staff will
assemble and exercise direction and control, as outlined below.
■ The EOC will be activated by the City Manager, Public Works
Director, Police Department Chief, or Emergency Services
Coordinator, who may assume or designate the role of EOC Director.
While the on-scene Incident Commander retains tactical control of the
incident, the EOC Director assumes responsibility for coordinating and
prioritizing City resources in support of emergency operations.
■ The EOC Director will determine the level of staffing required and
will alert the appropriate personnel, agencies, and organizations.
■ Emergency operations will be conducted by City departments,
augmented as required by trained reserves, volunteer groups, forces
supplied through mutual aid agreements, and private contractors.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-4
County, State, and federal support will be requested if the situation
dictates.
■ Communications equipment in the EOC will be used to receive
information, disseminate instructions and notifications, and coordinate
emergency operations.
■ The on-scene Incident Commander may establish an on-scene
Command Post at the scene to maintain close contact and coordinate
resources with the EOC.
■ Department heads and organization leaders are responsible for
assigned emergency functions, as outlined in FA-1 through FA-4.
■ The EOC may, as appropriate, operate on a 24-hour basis.
■ The City Emergency Services Coordinator will immediately notify the
County Emergency Management Office upon activation of the City
EOC. Periodic updates will be issued to the County for the duration of
City EOC activation.
See Appendix D – Incident Action Planning Cycle for more information on the
activities that go on during an operational period and the development of an
Incident Action Plan.
5.4.2 Emergency Operations Center Location
The primary location for the City EOC is:
City Public Works Department
8777 SW Burnham St., Tigard, OR 97223
Figure 5-1 Primary EOC Location
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-5
If necessary, the alternate location for the City EOC is:
Tigard Public Library
13500 SW Hall Blvd, Tigard, OR 97223
Figure 5-2 Alternate EOC Location
The County EOC is located at:
Law Enforcement Center
215 SW Adams Avenue, Hillsboro, OR 97123
Figure 5-3 County EOC Location
The location of the EOC can change, as required by the needs of the incident.
Coordination and control for City emergency resources will take place from the
EOC as long as environmental and incident conditions allow. However, if
conditions require relocation of the EOC, then the EOC Director will designate an
alternate facility. The EOC Director may request the use of the County EOC or
County facilities from the County EMC.
5.4.3 Emergency Operations Center Staffing
Depending on the incident type, City departments will provide staff to the EOC.
EOC staff will be notified as described in the EOC Emergency Alert Roster
maintained by the Emergency Services Coordinator. The City may receive
assistance from the County EMC to support the EOC. At any time, if the incident
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-6
expands or contracts, changes in jurisdiction or discipline, or becomes more or
less complex, the on-scene Incident Commander or EOC manager may change to
meet the needs of the incident. In the event that local staffing resources are not
adequate to maintain the City EOC, the City may request support from the State
via the County.
City departments involved in emergency response and personnel assigned to
Command and General Staff (if previously designated) are required to report to
the EOC upon activation. Personnel assigned to the EOC have the authority to
make the decisions associated with their Command and General Staff positions.
Due to limited personnel and resources available in the City, it is imperative that
all primary and alternate EOC staff be trained on ICS functions outside their areas
of expertise. Regularly exercising ICS, including sub-functions and liaison roles,
with volunteers and other support staff will improve overall EOC operation
efficiency.
5.4.4 Access and Security
During an emergency, access to the City EOC will be limited to designated
emergency operations personnel due to the large volume of incoming and
outgoing sensitive information. The EOC Director may allow access on an
individual, case-by-case basis. Appropriate security measures will be in place to
identify personnel who are authorized to be present. Assigned EOC staff and
authorized stakeholders are listed and will be issued identification.
5.4.5 Incident Management Software
The City utilizes WebEOC to help gather, analyze, and disseminate information
in the City EOC. The City Emergency Services Coordinator is responsible for
training EOC staff on the use of software, and a User’s Manual is maintained in
the City EOC.
5.4.6 Message Center
A Message Center is a facility established by the EOC to provide information to
the public about incident activity, impacts, and available resources that has been
released from the EOC PIO staff. The message center is responsible for the
following:
■ Providing information to the public about incident activity, impacts,
and available resources that have been released from the EOC PIO
staff.
■ Notifying the EOC PIOs of information issues.
■ Providing incident activity/impacts and available resources
information to the public.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-7
■ Serving as a point to receive public offers of assistance from
volunteers and goods.
5.4.7 Deactivation
Each incident will be evaluated to determine the need for continued operation of
the EOC after the emergency response phase of the incident has been completed.
This decision is made by the on-scene Incident Commander, EOC Director, and
City Manager.
During the initial phase of the recovery period for a major disaster, it may be
desirable to continue to operate the City EOC during the day with limited staffing
to facilitate dissemination of public and local government disaster relief
information. This alternative should be weighed against the option of
immediately requiring the City Manager and staff to manage recovery operations
as part of their daily responsibilities.
The City Manager has the final approval authority for activation and closure of
the EOC. Once the decision has been made to limit hours/staff or close the EOC,
notification must be disseminated to the same agencies that were notified it was
activated. If necessary, the EOC may also be re-opened (see activation
procedures in Section 5.4.1) and emergency operations re-initiated at any time.
5.5 Department Operations Center
A DOC is the counterpart to an EOC, but is discipline-specific. A DOC focuses
on internal department incident management and response. DOCs are often
supported by and/or physically represented in the City’s EOC to enhance EOC
coordination and support. Each emergency response department will have plans
and procedures in place to activate a DOC, if needed.
If an incident is complex enough, the on-scene Incident Commander may request
that his/her DOC be activated to support the response. When this happens, the
EOC may also activate to assist. Alternatively, only the EOC may be activated,
and not the DOC, depending upon the type of support needed. For example, if an
evacuation is needed, the EOC may be activated to plan for reception and
sheltering of evacuees. If the EOC is activated, a DOC holds a subordinate
position in the allocation of resources and management of information Citywide.
Individual DOC responsibilities include:
■ Providing departmental resource support for on-scene operations.
■ Establishing tactical objectives for department actions.
■ Maintaining tactical control of department resources not assigned to an
on-scene Incident Commander.
■ Coordinating with mutual aid response agencies.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-8
■ Coordinating resource allocation between emergency operations and
normal day-to-day activities.
■ Providing situation and resource status information to the EOC if the
EOC is activated.
■ Coordinating public information collection and dissemination.
■ Coordinating command decisions and prioritization of response
protocols.
■ Documenting staff time and costs for incident activities.
5.6 Levels of Coordination
The following is a review of the levels of coordination that may exist during an
emergency response:
■ From Single Resources to EOC/DOC – Single resources that are not
a part of an existing on-scene Incident Command organization will
communicate situation and resource information directly with the
EOC/DOC.
■ From Incident Command Post to DOCs and EOC – The on-scene
Incident Commander will manage on-scene response from the Incident
Command Post. The EOC or supporting DOC will provide tactical
support for on-scene activities. The on-scene Incident Commander
shall provide periodic situation updates to the supporting DOC or the
EOC. Emergency operations with different objectives may be
conducted in multiple jurisdictions or at geographically separated
scenes within the City. In this instance, more than one on-scene
Incident Command operation may be established. Should this occur, it
is important that the allocation of resources to specific field operations
be coordinated through the DOCs and EOC.
■ DOC to DOC – Information and resource needs will be coordinated
between DOCs as necessary to most effectively manage the incident.
However, once the EOC is activated, information and resource needs
will also be coordinated with the EOC.
■ DOC to EOC – The EOC will coordinate with the DOCs and the on-
scene Incident Commanders for optimal use of resources, external
resource and technical support, researching problems, providing
information to senior managers, gaining information essential to allow
the EOC to develop strategic goals for coordinating and disseminating
emergency public information, and performing other tasks to support
on-scene operations.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-9
■ DOC to External – Situation and resource information will be
coordinated between DOCs and City, utility, and other EOCs prior to
activation of the County EOC.
■ EOC to County – The EOC will coordinate external situation and
resource information and requests, formulation of strategic goals,
public information, policy decisions, and arranging for technical
support with the county EOC.
■ County EOC to State – The County EOC will prepare local
declarations to be submitted by the Board of County Commissioners to
the State. The EOC will coordinate resource needs with the State for
all DOCs and agency EOCs in the County. The County EOC will also
provide routine situation updates to the State.
■ County EOC to Regional EOC (If Activated) – The EOC will
coordinate strategic information, resource management, and policy
guidance with the regional EOC.
■ City EOC to Policy Group – The City EOC will brief the Policy
Group and make recommendations, request strategic guidance and
priorities, and coordinate funding.
5.7 Incident Command System
ICS is a standardized, flexible, scalable, all-hazard incident management system
designed to be utilized from the time an incident occurs until the need for
management and operations no longer exists. The City will utilize ICS to manage
resources and activities during an emergency response in order to communicate
with other responding agencies using common terminology and operating
procedures (Figure 5-4).
The City ICS structure can be expanded or contracted, depending on the
incident’s changing conditions. During a large-scale (Level 3) incident, it can be
staffed and operated by qualified personnel from any emergency service agency,
including personnel from a variety of disciplines. The City ICS structure can also
be utilized for lower level emergencies such as a minor incident involving a single
emergency response agency (Level 1). The City has established an EMO,
supporting EOC activation and ICS operational procedures, and position
checklists. These checklists are appended to this Basic Plan (Appendix C);
however, this document does not perform the full function of an EOC manual.

5-10
Figure 5-4 Example of a Scalable Command Structure for the City
5.7.1 Emergency Operations Center Director
The EOC Director is responsible for EOC operations when it is activated and has
overall responsibility for coordinating resources in support of emergency

Depending on the incident’s type and size, these units can be divided into two
branches: Service and Support. The Logistics Chief is responsible for:
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-14
■ Managing various resources to meet the needs of incident personnel,
such as transportation-related equipment, EOC staff support services,
supplies, facilities, and personnel.
■ Coordinating with the Planning Section to estimate future support and
resource requirements.
■ Assisting with development and preparation of the IAP.
5.7.3.4 Finance/Administration
The Finance/Administration Section is activated for large-scale or incidents that
require emergency funding or use of specialized services and equipment that are
not within the City’s resources. Potential units assigned to this section include
Compensation/Claims, Procurement, Cost, and Time. Conversely, during some
incidents, responding agencies may not require outside assistance, or relatively
minor finance or administrative operations are otherwise required. In these
instances, the Finance/Administration section can be staffed by a technical
specialist in the Planning Section. The Finance and Administration Chief is
responsible for:
■ Monitoring costs related to the incident.
■ Maintaining accounting, procurement, and personnel time records.

5.7.4 Unified Command
Unified Command allows all agencies with jurisdictional authority or functional
responsibility for the incident to jointly provide management direction to an
incident through a common set of incident objectives and strategies and a single
Incident Action Plan. Each participating agency maintains its individual
authority, responsibility, and accountability.
Table 5-1 presents a comparison of a single Incident Commander and Unified
Command.
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-15
Table 5-1 Comparison of Single Incident Commander and Unified
Commander
Single Incident Commander Unified Command
The Incident Commander is solely
responsible (within the confines of his
or her authority) for establishing
incident objectives and strategies.
The Incident Commander is directly
responsible for ensuring that all
functional areas activities are directed
toward accomplishment of the strategy.
The individuals designated by their
jurisdictional and organizational
authorities (or by departments within a
single jurisdiction) must jointly
determine objectives, strategies, plans,
resource allocations, and priorities and
work together to execute integrated
incident operations and maximize the
use of assigned resources.
Source: ICS-300: Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incident Student Manual.
5.7.5 Area Command
An Area Command is a management structure established to oversee the
organization of multiple incidents handled by separate ICS organizations, or very
large incidents that involves multiple ICS organizations. Area Command is
activated only if necessary, depending on the complexity of the incident and span-
of-control, and does not have operational responsibilities. If activated, the Area
Command:
■ Sets overall incident-related priorities:
● De-conflicts incident management objectives with other ICS
organizations and established policies.
● Allocates critical resources according to incident-related
priorities.
● Identifies critical resource needs and reports them to the EOCs.
■ Conducts oversight:
● Ensures proper management and effective communications and
provides for personnel accountability and a safe operating
environment.
● Ensures that short-term emergency recovery is coordinated to
assist in the transition to full recovery operations.
5.7.6 Multi-Agency Coordination
In the event that the City is coordinating a response with other jurisdictions or
agencies with authority over the incident, it may choose to implement a MAC
Group. Typically, administrators/executives, or their appointed representatives,
who are authorized to commit agency resources and funds are brought together to
form MAC Groups. Other names for MAC Groups include “multiagency
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
5. Command and Control
5-16
committees” and “emergency management committees.” A MAC Group can
provide coordinated decision making and resource allocation among cooperating
agencies and may establish the priorities among incidents, harmonize agency
policies, and provide strategic guidance and direction to support incident
management activities.

6 Plan Development, Maintenance,
and Implementation
6.1 Plan Review and Maintenance
The EOP will be re-promulgated when a new senior elected or appointed official
takes office or at a minimum of every five years to comply with State
requirements. If awarded monies through the Emergency Management
Performance Grant, this EOP will be reviewed every two years throughout the
period of performance of the award. This review will be coordinated by the City
of Tigard Emergency Services Coordinator and will include participation by
members from each of the City departments assigned as lead agencies in this EOP
and its supporting annexes. The Emergency Services Coordinator will also
coordinate review of the EOP with the City Attorney and supporting agencies
such as the TVF&R Emergency Manager and Washington County EMC. This
review will:
■ Verify contact information.
■ Review the status of resources noted in the plan.
■ Evaluate the procedures outlined in the plan to ensure their continued
viability.
In addition, lead agencies will review the annexes and appendices assigned to
their respective departments.
Recommended changes should be forwarded to:

6.2 Training Program
To assist with training and preparing essential response staff and supporting
personnel to incorporate ICS/NIMS concepts in all facets of an emergency, each
agency and department is responsible for ensuring that critical staff are identified
and trained at a level that enables effective execution of existing response plans,
procedures, and policies.

City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
6. Plan Development, Maintenance and Implementation
6-3
City departments and agencies will support emergency response by allowing and
encouraging personnel to participate in ongoing disaster training and education
programs as well as annual exercises of this EOP.
6.3 Exercise Program
The City will conduct exercises no less than annually to test and evaluate this
EOP. The City will coordinate with agencies; organizations (nonprofit, for profit,
and volunteer); neighboring jurisdictions; and State and federal government to
participate in joint exercises. These exercises will consist of a variety of tabletop
exercises, drills, functional exercises, and full-scale exercises.
As appropriate, the City will use Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation
Program procedures and tools to develop, conduct, and evaluate these exercises.
Information about this program can be found at http://hseep.dhs.gov.
The Emergency Services Coordinator will work with other City/County
departments and agencies to identify and implement corrective actions and
mitigation measures, based on exercises conducted through Emergency
Management.
6.4 Event Critique and After Action Reporting
In order to document and track lessons learned from exercises, the Emergency
Services Coordinator will conduct a review, or “hot wash,” with exercise
participants after each exercise. The Emergency Services Coordinator will also
coordinate an AAR, which will describe the objectives of the exercise, document
the results of the evaluation, and improve the City’s readiness.
Reviews and AARs will also be facilitated after an actual disaster. All agencies
involved in the emergency response will participate in the AAR. The AAR
following an incident should describe actions taken, identify equipment
shortcomings and strengths, and recommend ways to improve operational
readiness. Recommendations may include future exercise events and programs.
Success stores and lessons learned should be submitted to the Lessons Learned
Information Sharing website (www.llis.gov). The Emergency Services
Coordinator will ensure that equipment, training, and planning shortfalls
identified following an incident are addressed by the City’s EMO.
6.5 Community Outreach and Preparedness
Education
The City will educate the public about threats, disasters, and what to do when an
emergency occurs. The City maintains an active community preparedness
program and recognizes that citizen preparedness and education are vital
components of the City’s overall readiness.

Information about the City’s public education programs, hazard and mitigation
information, and other emergency management and emergency services can be
found on the City’s Emergency Management/Resources website.
6.6 Funding and Sustainment
It is a priority of the City to fund and maintain an EMO that ensures the City’s
ability to respond to and recover from disasters. The Emergency Services
Coordinator will work with City Council and community stakeholders to:
■ Identify funding sources for emergency management programs,
personnel, and equipment.
■ Ensure that the Council is informed of progress toward building
emergency response and recovery capabilities and is aware of gaps to
be addressed.
■ Leverage partnerships with local, regional, and State partners to
maximize use of scarce resources.

An Incident Action Plan is the vehicle by which Incident Command communicates their
expectations and provides collaboration and participation among all levels of incident
management. A complete Incident Action Plan facilitates successful incident operations and
provides a basis for evaluating performance in achieving incident objectives. The Planning “P”
in Figure D-1 is a guide to the process and steps involved in planning for an incident. The leg of
the “P” describes the initial response period whereas the top of the leg of the “P” is the beginning
of the first operational planning period cycle.

involved (e.g., the planning function).
General Staff: A group of incident management personnel organized according
to function and reporting to the Incident Commander. The General Staff normally
consists of the Operations Section Chief, Planning Section Chief, Logistics
Section Chief, and Finance/Administration Section Chief. An
Intelligence/Investigations Chief may be established, if required, to meet incident
management needs.
Group: An organizational subdivision established to divide the incident
management structure into functional areas of operation. Groups are composed of
resources assembled to perform a special function not necessarily within a single
geographic division. See Division.
Hazard: Something that is potentially dangerous or harmful, often the root cause
of an unwanted outcome.

name or other designator will be added to the term Base.) The Incident Command
Post may be co-located with the Incident Base.
Incident Command Post (ICP): The ICP is the location where the Incident
Commander operates during response operations. There is only one ICP for each
incident or event, but it may change locations during the event. Every incident or
event must have some form of an Incident Command Post. The ICP may be
located in a vehicle, trailer, tent, or within a building. The ICP will be positioned
outside of the present and potential hazard zone but close enough to the incident
to maintain command. The ICP will be designated by the name of the incident,
e.g., Fanno Creek ICP
Incident Command System (ICS): ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard
incident management concept in the United States. It is a management protocol
originally designed for emergency management agencies and later federalized. ICS
is based upon a flexible, scalable response organization providing a common
framework within which people can work together effectively. These people may
be drawn from multiple agencies that do not routinely work together, and ICS is
designed to give standard response and operation procedures to reduce the
problems and potential for miscommunication on such incidents. ICS has been
summarized as a "first-on-scene" structure, where the first responder on a scene
has charge of the scene until the incident is resolved or the initial responder
transitions incident command to an arriving, more-qualified individual.
Incident Command: The Incident Command System organizational element
responsible for overall management of the incident and consisting of the Incident
Commander (either single or unified command structure) and any assigned
supporting staff.
Incident Commander (IC): The individual responsible for all incident activities,
including the development of strategies and tactics and the ordering and release of
resources. The IC has overall authority and responsibility for conducting incident
operations and is responsible for the management of all incident operations at the
incident site.
Incident Management Team (IMT): An Incident Commander and the
appropriate Command and General Staff personnel assigned to an incident. The
level of training and experience of the IMT members, coupled with the identified
formal response requirements and responsibilities of the IMT, are factors in
determining "type," or level, of IMT.
Incident Management: The broad spectrum of activities and organizations
providing effective and efficient operations, coordination, and support applied at
all levels of government, utilizing both governmental and nongovernmental
resources to plan for, respond to, and recover from an incident, regardless of
cause, size, or complexity.

gathered within the Intelligence/Investigations function is information that either
leads to the detection, prevention, apprehension, and prosecution of criminal
activities-or the individual(s) involved-including terrorist incidents or information
that leads to determination of the cause of a given incident (regardless of the
source) such as a public health event or fire with unknown origins. This is
different from the normal operational and situational intelligence gathered and
reported by the Planning Section.
Interoperability: Ability of systems, personnel, and equipment to provide and
receive functionality, data, information and/or services to and from other systems,
personnel, and equipment, between both public and private agencies, departments,
and other organizations, in a manner enabling them to operate effectively
together. Allows emergency management/response personnel and their affiliated
organizations to communicate within and across agencies and jurisdictions via
voice, data, or video-on-demand, in real time, when needed, and when authorized.
Job Aid: Checklist or other visual aid intended to ensure that specific steps of
completing a task or assignment are accomplished.
Joint Field Office (JFO): The primary Federal incident management field
structure. The JFO is a temporary Federal facility that provides a central location
for the coordination of Federal, State, tribal, and local governments and private-
sector and nongovernmental organizations with primary responsibility for
response and recovery. The JFO structure is organized, staffed, and managed in a
City of Tigard EOP Basic Plan
Appendix F. Acronyms and Glossary
F-14
manner consistent with National Incident Management System principles.

manage on-scene operations. Instead, the JFO focuses on providing support to on-
scene efforts and conducting broader support operations that may extend beyond
the incident site.
Joint Information Center (JIC): A facility established to coordinate all incident-
related public information activities. It is the central point of contact for all news
media. Public information officials from all participating agencies should co-
locate at the JIC.
Joint Information System (JIS): A structure that integrates incident information
and public affairs into a cohesive organization designed to provide consistent,
coordinated, accurate, accessible, timely, and complete information during crisis
or incident operations. The mission of the JIS is to provide a structure and system
for developing and delivering coordinated interagency messages; developing,
recommending, and executing public information plans and strategies on behalf of
the Incident Commander (IC); advising the IC concerning public affairs issues
that could affect a response effort; and controlling rumors and inaccurate
information that could undermine public confidence in the emergency response
effort.
Jurisdiction: A range or sphere of authority. Public agencies have jurisdiction at
an incident related to their legal responsibilities and authority. Jurisdictional
authority at an incident can be political or geographical (e.g., Federal, State, tribal,
local boundary lines) or functional (e.g., law enforcement, public health).
Jurisdictional Agency: The agency having jurisdiction and responsibility for a
specific geographical area, or a mandated function.
Key Resource: Any publicly or privately controlled resource essential to the
minimal operations of the economy and government.

criminal intelligence information to law enforcement agencies throughout the
state. Although not a warning system per se, it is used to relay warning
information such as weather watches and warnings. Within Tigard, LEDS
terminals are maintained at WCCCA, the Washington County Sheriff's Office,
and all of the larger police departments. The Oregon State Police and Oregon
Office of Emergency Management also maintain LEDS terminals.

government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government; an Indian
tribe or authorized tribal entity, or in Alaska a Native Village or Alaska Regional
Native Corporation; a rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other
public entity. See Section 2 (10), Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-
296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002).
Local Warning Point (LWP): A local facility designated to receive and relay
warning information received via the National Warning System (NAWAS).

providing facilities, services, and material support for the incident.
Logistics: The process and procedure for providing resources and other services
to support incident management.
Management by Objectives: A management approach that involves a five-step
process for achieving the incident goal. The Management by Objectives approach
includes the following: establishing overarching incident objectives; developing
strategies based on overarching incident objectives; developing and issuing
assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols; establishing specific, measurable
tactics or tasks for various incident-management functional activities and
directing efforts to attain them, in support of defined strategies; and documenting
results to measure performance and facilitate corrective action.
Manager: Individual within an Incident Command System organizational unit
who is assigned specific managerial responsibilities (e.g., Staging Area Manager
or Camp Manager).
Message Center: A station activated by the Tigard EOC or a Field department
DOC to provide information to the public about incident activity, impacts, and
available resources. It also serves as a point to receive public offers of assistance
to volunteer and/or donate goods.
Mitigation: Activities providing a critical foundation in the effort to reduce the
loss of life and property from natural and/or manmade disasters by avoiding or
lessening the impact of a disaster and providing value to the public by creating
safer communities. Mitigation seeks to fix the cycle of disaster damage,
reconstruction, and repeated damage. These activities or actions, in most cases,
will have a long-term sustained effect.

that have been requested to respond to or support an incident.
Multiagency Coordination (MAC) Group: A group of administrators or
executives, or their appointed representatives, who are typically authorized to
commit agency resources and funds. A MAC Group can provide coordinated
decision-making and resource allocation among cooperating agencies, and may
establish the priorities among incidents, harmonize agency policies, and provide
strategic guidance and direction to support incident management activities. MAC
Groups may also be known as multiagency committees, emergency management
committees, or as otherwise defined by the Multiagency Coordination System.
Multiagency Coordination System (MACS): A system that provides the
architecture to support coordination for incident prioritization, critical resource
allocation, communications systems integration, and information coordination.
MACS assist agencies and organizations responding to an incident. The elements
of a MACS include facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and
communications. Two of the most commonly used elements are Emergency
Operations Centers and MAC Groups.
Multijurisdictional Incident: An incident requiring action from multiple
agencies that each have jurisdiction to manage certain aspects of an incident. In
the Incident Command System, these incidents will be managed under Unified
Command.
Multiple Agency Coordination Center (MACC): Also known as an Emergency
Operations Center, the MACC is a central command and control facility
responsible for the strategic, or "big picture" of the disaster. Personnel within the
MACC use Multi-agency Coordination to guide their operations. The MACC
coordinates activities between multiple agencies and does not normally directly
control field assets, but makes strategic decisions and leaves tactical decisions to
individual agencies. The common functions of all EOC's is to collect, gather and
analyze data; make decisions that protect life and property, maintain continuity of
the government or corporation, within the scope of applicable laws; and
disseminate those decisions to all concerned agencies and individuals.
Mutual Aid Agreement or Assistance Agreement: Written or oral agreement
between and among agencies/organizations and/or jurisdictions that provides a

Washington County Law Enforcement Center (LEC).
National: Of a nationwide character, including the Federal, State, tribal, and local
aspects of governance and policy.
Nongovernmental Organization (NGO): An entity with an association that is
based on interests of its members, individuals, or institutions. It is not created by a
government, but it may work cooperatively with government. Such organizations
serve a public purpose, not a private benefit. Examples of NGOs include faith-
based charity organizations and the American Red Cross. NGOs, including
voluntary and faith-based groups, provide relief services to sustain life, reduce
physical and emotional distress, and promote the recovery of disaster victims.
Often these groups provide specialized services that help individuals with
disabilities. NGOs and voluntary organizations play a major role in assisting
emergency managers before, during, and after an emergency.
Officer: The Incident Command System title for a person responsible for one of
the Command Staff positions of Safety, Liaison, and Public Information.

Portability: An approach that facilitates the interaction of systems that are
normally distinct. Portability of radio technologies, protocols, and frequencies
among emergency management/response personnel will allow for the successful
and efficient integration, transport, and deployment of communications systems
when necessary. Portability includes the standardized assignment of radio
channels across jurisdictions, which allows responders to participate in an
incident outside their jurisdiction and still use familiar equipment.
Preparedness Organization: An organization that provides coordination for
emergency management and incident response activities before a potential
incident. These organizations range from groups of individuals to small
committees to large standing organizations that represent a wide variety of
committees, planning groups, and other organizations (e.g., Citizen Corps, Local

Discussion of upcoming contract for Dirksen Park Oak Savanna project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff is seeking Council direction on any additional information or direction they would like to
see in preparation of an award decision for this proposed contract.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Oak Savanna project is part of the development of Dirksen Nature Park. The park has 7
distinct native Northwest ecosystems which makes it the perfect location for an urban nature
park. The oak savanna is an important ecosystem to the region historically and as such we are
focusing our effort on its restoration.
The work under this project will provide all restoration services associated with site
preparation and establishment of the oak savanna at Dirksen Nature Park. This work will
include removal of non-native grasses and trees, removal of trees that are currently crowding
oaks, replanting native grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs associated with a healthy savanna.
The contractor will also use the wood material from downed trees to construct buck and pole
fencing around the savanna to discourage entry to the area while it is establishing. These
rough pole fences are low to the ground so views into the area will not be blocked. The
contractor will provide planting and maintenance services through 2019.
Under 279A.215, the city may establish a contract with a specific vender under a permissive
Under 279A.215, the city may establish a contract with a specific vender under a permissive
cooperative procurement process. This is in line with Tigard Public Contracting Rule 10.085.
Staff would like to utilize this form of procurement for this project. Under this form of
procurement the following is all that is required:
An administering contracting agency with a solicitation and contract that is open and
competitive, allows selection methods similar to Tigard's,
The solicitation document and contract with the administering agency contains
cooperative language which allows other agencies (such as Tigard) to establish their own
contracts under the terms, conditions, and pricing of the original contract,
A contractor that agrees to extend the terms, conditions, and pricing, and
Public notice if the purchasing agency's contract will exceed $250,000.
For this particular contract, the first three bullets will apply but not the fourth as the city's
contract will not exceed $250,000. For the first three requirements, Metro released a Request
for Proposal (RFP) for Natural Areas Habitat Restoration Services this past winter containing
permissive cooperative language and was similar to a process the city would have utilized.
The subsequent contract executed from this RFP also contains the permissive cooperative
language. The city has had discussion with the awarded contractor, Ash Creek Forest
Management, LLC, and they are willing to extend the terms, conditions, and pricing of the
Metro contract to the city. Thus the required three bullets above are met.
Staff plans to bring a contract award presentation before the Local Contract Review Board at
a future meeting with Ash Creek Forest Managment, LLC for work on the Oak Savanna
project at Dirksen Nature Park. The scope of the work is very similar to the work under the
Metro contract so staff will be asking the contract be awarded under a passive cooperative
procurement method. The estimated total of the contract is $220,000.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Local Contract Review Board may reject the use of a permissive cooperative purchase
and direct staff conduct a full Request for Proposal process.
The Local Contract Review Board may reject the contract and place the work on hold.

This work supports the goals of the Summer Creek Master Plan (Dirksen Park Master Plan)
and the City Park System Master Plan. This work also supports walkability goals of the City
Strategic Plan.

would need to be increased by $20,000 to accommodate the additional cost. Additionally,
the contract cost would be potentially spread over four years and not two years as stated in
the Proposed CIP. This contract will run from FY 14/15 through FY 19/20.

Should the City Council approve submittal of a Metro Community Planning and
Development Grant (CPDG) application for Tigard Triangle to support pre-development
assistance? Funding for this grant is provided through the Construction Excise Tax.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
It is recommended that council approve submittal of the CPDG application for the Tigard
Triangle.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City has developed the Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan (TTSP) with input from a variety of
stakeholders including property owners, developers, business owners, employees,
bicycle/pedestrian advocates and Tigard residents. The TTSP provides a long range vision to:
Diversify the mix of uses in the area.
Improve connectivity for all modes within the district and to neighboring areas.
Create a safe and enjoyable walking environment.
Provide parks, open spaces and places to gather while enhancing and protecting the
natural amenities.
Accommodate and leverage high capacity transit service and stations if supported by
Tigard residents.
Several implementation measures were identified in the TTSP to achieve these outcomes,
including regulatory actions, infrastructure investments, and incentives to stimulate
public-private partnerships. Over the next 8 – 12 months, the city will complete the
regulatory actions needed to implement the Plan, including the creation and adoption of a
new land use code. The Metro grant will allow the city to select a few promising
redevelopment sites and determine the partnerships, public financing strategies, infrastructure
and predevelopment work needed to begin transforming the Triangle.
The grant application is still being developed. The objectives outlined below reflect
the broadest range of planning activities that would be included in the Tigard Triangle
Community Planning and Development project. Changes could narrow the focus of the
grant application and reduce the budget to accomplish the grant objectives. The objectives of
the project are to:
Identify optimal sites, partnerships and development tools to facilitate a new, walkable
suburban development pattern in the district.
Examine urban renewal as a tool to encourage this development pattern.
Re-brand the Triangle from a place for offices and big box stores to a
pedestrian-oriented, mixed use district that supports regional demand for housing.
Complete predevelopment activities for a walkable suburban mixed use development
project on at least one site.
Metro Community Planning Development grants are funded from revenues generated by a
regional Construction Excise Tax (CET). Approximately $5 million is available. The Tigard
Triangle project has an estimated budget of $200,000. The grant amount being requested
is $160,000 with a 20% local match ($40,000).

Staff requests Council's direction on whether to submit a full application to Metro’s
Community and Development Grant Program for a redevelopment feasibility study on
adjacent Downtown properties on Commercial Street and Main Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Direct staff to prepare a resolution approving application for Metro’s Community and
Development Grant program (Construction Excise Tax funding).
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
On April 14, 2015, staff submitted a letter of intent to apply for funding from Metro’s
Community and Development Grant Program for the Downtown Tigard Urban Lofts
Development project. The Downtown Tigard Urban Lofts Development project is for
pre-development feasibility assistance that will lead to:
A concept plan for mixed-use transit oriented urban-style loft development of two sites:
a 0.45 acre privately owned site fronting Main Street (the Nicoli site) and the 0.81 acre
site that is currently the Tigard Transit Center. The desired project would have a low
on-site parking ratio.
A plan for the reconfiguration of the Tigard Transit Center. The alignment of the
Southwest HCT line and location of the downtown Tigard station should be known by
fall 2015. The location of the HCT station will likely cause the need to rethink the form
and the function of the existing transit center. Ideas to be explored are relocating the bus
stops on to the street, reducing the footprint of the center, or building over the center.
Plan objectives would include improving transit run times, accommodating bus layovers,
providing a TriMet driver restroom, and preserving on-street parking opportunities.
Definition of the Urban Renewal Agency’s role and financial feasibility of the project.
Last year there was a development opportunity study done on the Nicoli property. TriMet
had been approached to see if the Tigard Transit Center site could be included in the study.
At that time TriMet staff felt there were too many unknowns about the future of the Transit
Center site in the SW Corridor planning process. The planning process is further along, and
last month TriMet staff expressed willingness to have the site included in a new study that
would also plan for the reconfiguration of the transit center's functions. Mr. Nicoli is also
supportive of a new study. There is a higher degree of redevelopment feasibility if the two
sites are combined.
The requested grant amount is $100,000 for the cost of a consultant team including an
architecture firm with transit oriented development experience, a real estate advisor, and an
engineer who specializes in transit planning. The City proposes a $20,000 match (half from
in-kind services.) Metro’s Community and Development Grant Program requests for funding
total approximately $6.3 million while the amount of funding expected to be available is only
$5.0 million. It’s likely that some applications will not get funded and others will only be
partially funded. The deadline for full application is June 1, 2015.
As part of submitting a full application, Council must authorize the application submittal. This
will be formally requested at the May 26 council meeting.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Council could direct staff not to submit the full application.

Re:City of Tigard Strategic Plan Implementation Code Audit Executive Summary
Executive Summary
As described in the Strategic Plan, the City of Tigard’s vision is to be: “The most walkable community in
the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected lives.” The
hopeis that“walkability” will become an expression of the City’s unique identity. In order to accomplish
this,developmentmustadvance the visionand the Tigard Development Code (TDC), as the document
that guides development, needs to be in “alignment” with the vision. The intent of the Code Audit was to
evaluate how well the TDC is aligned with the visionby identifying whethercurrent rules, regulations, and
practices support or preclude the City’s ability to meet these walkability and connectivity goals.
Key Findingsand Recommendationsof the Code Audit
To improve walkability(as measured by WalkScore) the City must provide both a high quality
pedestrian environment as well as a range of destinations for pedestrians (e.g., commercial and
recreational opportunities within walking distance).
There are opportunities to improve the general regulations forpaths and trails and other
pedestrian facilitiesin the TDC. Terms are used inconsistently. A unified map of existing and
future required pedestrian facilities would be helpful. The TDC should be amended to clearly
exempt paths and trails within the right-of-way from needing a development permit.
When new trails are built as standalone projects, the City is often the applicant and is working
within the time constraints of a grant. Amendments to the TDC to allow trails as a permitted use
in the industrial zone were recently adopted; however, there are additional amendments that
would make it easier for the City and othersto construct new trails. Amendments of this type
would easepermit requirements and reducedelay for the construction of new paths and trails.
The TDC also establishes pedestrian connectivity requirements fordevelopers. There are
opportunities to amend the TDCto strengthen and clarify the standards and approval criteria and
provide incentives to ensure that paths, trails and other pedestrian facilities are built and
maintained.
TDC 18.800, Street and Utility Improvements, is in need ofa wholesale update to address the
vision and Strategic Plan as well as other issues including moving some of the standards into
separate Engineering Manual and clarifying the Transportation Impact Analysis requirements.

As noted above,creating destinations for pedestrians is key to becoming a walkable community.
Currently the zoning map dedicates large areas of the City to single family residential
development. The City’s single family zones allow almost no commercial development, sothere
are few opportunities to create destinations within walking distance of the majority of residents.
There are a range of possibilitiesto allow more commercial activities in neighborhoodswhile still
preserving the residential character:
o Permit some commercial uses as conditional uses in residential zones in certain locations,
or through a special zone. For example, allowing a neighborhood store in a residential
area but only along a busy collector street.
o Expand the types of commercial uses permitted as home occupations. Allow forcertain
non-residential uses that draw few “customers”, such as music and art teachers-.
o Permit additional commercial activities as “accessory” to institutional uses, for example,
allow a coffee shop within a church or school.
o Encourage small scale produce farming as an accessory use by allowing small farm stands
to let people sell what they grow.
Changes to the residential zones can be controversial and will require substantial public outreach.
Next Steps
The Code Audit suggests an approach to “bundling” the code amendments into discrete projects. Staff is
evaluating these project and will recommend ways of incorporating them into the work program.

Continued Council discussion following the briefing of survey results for the YMCA and City
of Tigard, including potential next steps and the implications of city responses to the survey
results.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
No action is requested at this workshop meeting. The City Council is requested to discuss the
survey results and the potential next steps the city may take. The Council can opt to provide
guidance in the context of all city priorities. Future guidance from the Council is requested
regarding timing and preferred alternative if Tigard is to proceed with the priority of
constructing a community/recreation center or partnership with the YMCA. This topic can be
scheduled for a future Council agenda.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
On May 12, the City Council received a presentation and briefing from Daxko Consulting for
a jointly-funded survey conducted for the City of Tigard and YMCA. The purpose of the
survey was to determine the feasibility and level of demand for the YMCA's services in Tigard.
The City Council has received citizen communication indicating a desire for a center operated
by the YMCA in Tigard.
At the May 12 meeting, the Council asked questions of the consultant about the survey
methodology and also about YMCA's business and service model. The study findings indicate
that membership support exists for a YMCA in Tigard for a range of 1,700 to 2,300
memberships within 3 years if a facility was in Tigard, with highest-demand membership types
of two adults, and two adults and children that would be most applicable to respondents.
Further, demographic data show that Tigard's population has a high incidence of regular
exercise and use of exercise facilities, with high use of for-profit fitness centers not located in
the city. The presentation from the May 12 meeting is attached for reference.
The concept of constructing a center is contrary to the city's study recommendations
suggesting an initial investment in a city role in recreation. That study recommended that the
first investment in recreation should be established in the 2015-16 budget, including
continuing the city's recreation program guide; and to offer programs and classes and events
at existing city facilities. This is included in the Budget Committee's 2015-16
recommendation, and is also included in City Council's goals for 2015-16.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Council is at a decision point to determine where the creation of a community center
operated by the YMCA would fit within city priorities. Tigard has jointly funded a survey of
demand for YMCA services. Tigard could either go forward with a public investment in land,
building, and partnership for services, or choose to defer to later, or not pursue this
partnership for a community center. The Council could decide to:
- Complete the planned Space and Facilities Strategic Plan (planned for FY 15-16) to
determine the appropriate timing for a community center or YMCA-operated facility in the
context of all of city facility needs. The immediate next step for this alternative would be to
determine how soon the study would be completed and the order of priorities for facility
investment.
- Enter into a partnership with the YMCA including an agreement that would include the
eventual construction of a center that the Y would operate. The immediate next step in
this alternative would be to enter into negotiations with the YMCA for a facility and program
partnership agreement, and embark on a public process to determine feasibility for the size
and potential location for a future facility.
- Following recently-completed City of Tigard study recommendations for the city's role in
recreation, develop the city's (new) recreation program with a recreation coordinator to
facilitate development of classes and events in the first five years, and opt to pursue the
creation of a center after the program is established.
- Choose to construct a publicly-owned building for a community center independent of
future operation, and study the facility needs.
- Take no action.
COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS
Provide Recreation Opportunities for the People of Tigard: Explore feasibility of partnership
opportunities, including Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, YMCA and other city or
nonprofit opportunities; establish facility partnership if feasible.

Based on study results …
• Proceeding with steps in developing a new Y facility by using the
forecasts of demand at different price levels and related findings to
determine potential facility size and viable offerings
• Consider plans to publicize/communicate the potential new facility to
the community in light of comparatively low opposition
• Exploring location options within downtown Tigard
Parking Lot

YMCA of Columbia-Willamette County & City of Tigard potential questions (so far):
• Voter polling in follow-up to levels of homeowner support expressed?
• Explore where community center fits within city priorities at this time?
• Consider steps needed to take a facility bond measure for voter consideration in
context of other city priorities for funding and facilities?
• Determine capital and operating costs that might be indicated in Tigard for
potential center or a potential facility size that may be feasible?
• Consider how a future partnership with a recreational operator might be
structured in terms of an agreement?
• Consider timing and planning needed for site and facility planning, design, and
construction?
The Parking Lot is where questions that required additional
analysis are captured for consideration and planning potential
next steps.

Re: YMCA in Downtown Tigard
Dear Mayor Cook and Members of the City Council:
While I have had some limited civic involvement in the past, I am writing this letter
solely in my individual capacity, as a resident of Tigard and an employee of a downtown
business.
I am neutral on the general concept of a YMCA in Tigard. I have significant concerns
about the idea of locating a YMCA within the downtown Urban Renewal District.
It is my assumption that the proponents of a downtown YMCA are seeking some type of
public subsidy for the facility, its operations, or both. When allocation of public resources comes
into play, the emotional appeal of"wouldn't it be nifty"must give way to a practical evaluation
of the hard costs and tangible pay-offs.
The City and this Council have already made a major commitment to the downtown
Urban Renewal District. The fuel that will power urban renewal over the next fifteen years (and
perhaps beyond) is the tax increment. Consequently, I suggest that consideration of any proposal
to locate a YMCA within the District begin with this question: What will be the impact on the
increment? Will a YMCA increase the increment, or diminish it? The proponents need to
provide verifiable data and reliable objective analysis demonstrating what that effect will be. If
the answer is that the tax increment will be reduced, then the project does not merit a
commitment of urban renewal dollars or other public resources. In particular, a waiver of
property taxes would undercut the increment. The District needs more property on the tax rolls,
not less.
Tigard City Council
Re: Downtown YMCA
May 19,2015 - Page 2
If the Council is satisfied that a YMCA would increase the tax increment within the
District, a second question must be addressed: Is a YMCA facility the highest and best use of
available public resources, or would another type of development better serve the goals of the
Urban Renewal Plan? That is a more complex issue than the first,and should involve
consideration of the multiple factors proposed by the City Center Advisory Commission in
connection with the mixed-use development at Burnham Street and Ash Avenue. It is not
necessary to reach that issue,however,until and unless you are convinced that the financial
viability of the Urban Renewal District will be enhanced rather than eroded by a downtown
YMCA.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter, and for being the adults in the room.
Sincerely,
AVIA-

Memo to Mayor John Cook and Tigard City Council:
We the undersigned support the Tigard YMCA ballot measure for November 9, 2016, and do not
support the Burnham Street residential project.
It is clear the YMCA project is ready to proceed and be presented to the voters for their decision. Given
the strong bipartisan support throughout the city and among both residents and the business
community, there is no reason not to allow the voters to have their say on this citizen initiated project.
If the voters had a choice between the YMCA and the Burnham Street residential/mixed-use project
there is no question, based upon polling information in the hands of the City of Tigard and which has
been made available to all city residents,that voters would overwhelmingly choose the YMCA.
Furthermore, if voters were made aware and fully understood the risks involved with the residential
project, and the taxpayer subsidies they are unknowingly providing, they would never support this.

6.DISCUSSION ON POSSIBLE BALLOT MEASURE ITEMS
Assistant City Manager Newton presented this item directing council to the matrix provided in the staff
report and stated staff is looking for direction on if and when the council would like to see the topics listed go
on a future election.
Charter Revisions:
Mayor Cook reminded the council this is on the May 12agenda.
Council President Sniderasked if it would be possible to have the measureon the November2015 ballot. Ms.
Newton answered she thought it would be possible to meet the August 14 filing deadline with the city
recorder, but the council may have to limit the changes to a couple items. Further consideration can be made
at the May 12 council meeting.
Funding For General Fund City Services:
Council President Sniderstated he would like the council to consider alternative funding sources that may not
have to go to a vote.
Mayor Cook said to ensure a better voter turnout, which may be needed for a local option levy, this should go
in May or November 2016. He said he leanedtoward May 2016 because there could still be good voter
turnout with the primariesand the city might have to compete for moniesin November. May also allows for
the opportunity to send it back to the voters in November if it fails in May. Another consideration is the time
it takes to form a Political Action Committee (PAC) which takes about ayear to form. It is the PAC that
campaignsfor the measure.
Councilor Goodhouse asked the council to consider extending the city hall hours in addition to the library
hours. Council President Snidersaid the city hall hours of operation were notreduced; rather, the citymoved
from aneight hour work day toten hours allowing city hall and the permit center to have extended hours on
Monday through Thursday. Ms. Wine clarified that public works and police operate twenty four hoursa day.
She added that in the communitysurvey conducted in 2014, there was not astrong sentiment that customers
are missing the Friday service.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES –APRIL 21, 2015
City of Tigard | 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 | 503-639-4171 | www.tigard-or.gov | Page2of 3
Councilor Goodhouse expressed concern that the city only obtained the opinion of Tigard citizens and did
not get a representation of the business inthe metropolitan areathat conduct business in Tigard and utilize
the permit center. Ms. Newton said we do have other opportunities for customersto conduct their business
outside of open hours such as the inspection request lineandonline plan submission. Many of city hall
services are scheduled during open hours such as court, utility billing services and passports. The city has
gotten positive response for notary services being provided during late hours after customers get off work.
Councilor Henderson noted the county has two ballot measures on the ballot thisNovemberfor public
servicesand the library and reminded the council to take that into consideration when deciding when to put
city measures on the ballot.
Council President Snidersaid he did not want any measures asking for money to be on theNovember 2015
ballot. He stated he did notthink an operating levy is the right approachas a funding source for the general
fund services and should be reserved for funding city facilities.
Councilor Woodard said he agreed and thought the parks utility fee would coverthe funding need for general
fund services.
Consensus of council was to pursue a utility fee instead of an operating levy.
Funding For City Facilities:
Councilor Woodard testified his strong desire for the city to put a measure before the voters in November
2015 for a YMCA in the community. He felt strongly there is a lot of momentum from the grass root efforts
right now and the council would remissif they did not capitalizeon that. He felt confident the voters would
approve a $28 million bond,only increasing taxes by $10 a month, which is significantly less than Beaverton’s
recreation district costing them $300 a month.
Council President Snidersaid he also supportsanobligation bond on theNovember 2015 ballot for the
recreation center concept in order to “seize the moment”and look at a way to build a facility with a private
operator. The public works and police facilities could be tackledin May 2016 or even furtherout. He said he
would support opening our library seven days a week before openinga branch library.
Councilor Goodhouse also supported an obligation bond in November 2015 for the recreation center and
requested more detail on costs of the construction and operation of a recreation center. City Manager Wine
said on May 12the council will receive the survey results fromthe YMCA and then further steps and options
will be explored to making a decision.She was concerned the details may not be prepared in time to create a
proposal for November.
Consensus bycouncil was to pursue a ballot measure to be placed on the November 2015 ballot for a
recreation center and hold off on the public works and police facilities until a facilities analysis is completed.
Ms. Wine said staffwill have an answer in the next year for the needsof expanding police and public works
facilities.
City Gas Tax Increase:
Mayor Cook asked how much a two cent increase in the gas tax would create in funding.Finance and
Information Services Director LaFrance answered each penny would provide $225,000give or take. He
added the current three cents tax isobligatedinpaying on the Main Street improvements bond through 2020
which is expensing a little more than three cents per gallon.

City of Tigard | 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 | 503-639-4171 | www.tigard-or.gov | Page3of 3
Councilor Goodhouse said the increase in the gas tax is one way to fund sidewalks but other sources of
funding need to be explored. The community is in support of sidewalk projects and would like to see this
project funded.
Council agreed to goto a vote to increase the city gas tax to five cents and requested staff look into other
funding sources to fill the funding need gap. Consensus was to look at placing it on a ballot in 2016.
High CapacityTransit:
City Manager Wine said in order for high capacity transit to come to Tigard the city would have to amend the
comprehensive plan and a comprehensive plan amendment for high capacity transit requires a voteof the
electorate.
Mayor Cook suggested doing an advisory vote in November 2016 asking if the community wouldsupport
moving forward with planning for high capacity transit. In order for high capacity transit to move forward it
may take a full region vote which will not be earlierthan November 2018.
Council agreed this will need to wait until more information can be receivedand constituted additional
discussion.
Urban Renewal District:
Councilor Goodhouse stated he was in favor of expanding the downtownurban renewal area and adding one
for 99W. He said the biggest thing hehearsis 99W is the face of Tigard and the council needsto do
something to improve 99W.
Mayor Cook said his preference would be for expanding the downtown boundaries and then the Tigard
Triangle. Council President Snidersuggested expanding the downtown boundaries up to ten percent which
would not require a vote of the people.
Councilor Woodard said he too had heard from businesses on 99W asking for benefits from an urban
renewaldistrictand thought a district from Gaarde Street to north of Highway 217 would besuccessful.
Consensus of council was to continue discussion on expanding or adding urban renewal districts.
Willamette River:
Council President Sniderasked if the city had receiveda legal opinion on whetherthe requirement to get a
voteapplies to the Tualatin Valley Water District. Ms. Wine said they had not. The city receiveda legal
opinion identifying the operative issue on the charter vote about the use of Willamette water. It does not
require a vote for the planning, building or agreements.
Mayor said continued discussion can occur at a later meetingbecause this does not look to be on the May or
November 2016 election.
