STUDY SESSION 6:30 p.m.
Council present: Council President Snider,Councilor Woodard, Councilor Henderson,Councilor
Goodhouse. Absent: Mayor Cook
Council President Snider called the Study Session to order. He noted that the Executive Session
scheduled for the Study Session was cancelled.
A. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS
Councilor Henderson will give a liaison report at the next meeting on homelessness.
Council President Snider updated council on the Lake Oswego Tigard Water Partnership
and said there have been some technical challenges at one of the small underway 99E
tunneling projects using technology that would not require an open trench but ran into
trouble and they are working around that this week. He said he and Mayor Cook have been
involved in discussions with councilors from other cities and this will be shared at a later
date.
B. REVIEW SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE FEE AUDIT AND POTENTIAL TMC
CHANGES
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said representatives from Tigard's two
waste haulers,Waste Management and Pride Disposal were present. They have been
working with staff over the past six months,discussing potential solid waste fee process
changes. Tigard's Municipal Code states that there is an expected profit margin for waste
haulers of 8-12 percent,with a target profit margin of 10 percent when setting rates. The
rate haulers report at the end of the calendar year so a determination can be made if they fall
within that range.At the end of 2013 the city conducted a rate review because the aggregate
report fell beneath that range and new fees were set. But there is a problem with the timing
as the haulers report at the end of the calendar year, the review is done and this is reported
to council. By the time new fees are set it is halfway through the next calendar year. So in
the last six months of the year that included a rate change the haulers again fell below the 8
percent range.The city and the haulers disagreed about whether there should be a rate
adjustment. The city took the standpoint that there were only six months for the fees to take
effect so the target may not necessarily be met and the haulers felt that the city should do
something. Staff has been meeting with the haulers in an attempt to rectify this problem. In
the meantime another year has passed.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 1 of 22
This aggregate financial report for 2014 shows a profit rate of 7.6 percent. Since it does not
fall within the target,a rate adjustment is needed. Based on cost escalators provided by the
haulers, staff is recommending a 7 percent increase to provide rates that will produce an
expected profit of 9 percent for the last six months in 2015 and 10 percent in 2016.
Recommended code changes to Tigard Municipal Code Chapter 11.04 include setting the
index to adjust fees on January 1 of each year,stating that a cost of service study will be
conducted at least every five years,and in the years where a cost of service study is
completed,and the rates take effect in the middle of a calendar year,the report should set
expected profit for that year that takes into account the fact that the new fees were only in
effect for part of the year. Other changes include updating the hauler names listed in the
TMC.
Councilor Woodard asked how capital costs affect the aggregate rate of return. Mr.
LaFrance said haulers amortize the value of their assets as part of their annual costs. Council
President Snider said this was discussed 18 months ago during a discussion about replacing a
number of trucks with those powered by natural gas. The haulers said the natural gas trucks
cost$25,000-$30,000 more than a diesel truck. Fuel cost savings average$800 a month per
truck. They produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions and are quieter for drivers and also for
neighborhoods.
Councilor Henderson asked what has eroded profits and Mr.Jeffries replied one factor is the
recycled material value. They used to receive revenue for it but are now paying to process
this material. This is driven by the economy in China and India and the demand for these
materials is reduced.Another change is the cost to recycle green waste, or yard debris.
Processing facilities have to upgrade to higher environmental standards. Mr. Leichner added
that Metro fees and labor contracts are also a factor.
Council President Snider expressed concerns about what happens to the profits when the
recycling market improves. Mr. LaFrance said if the haulers'profits increase so they are
outside these bounds that too would trigger a rate reopener. He said the intent of setting an
index would be that"we are not chasing those cycle" as much. He said he did not know if
recycling cost forecasts are a component of the index. The city council was favorable to
bringing these changes to the TMC and Master Fees and Charges and to a business meeting
for consideration.
ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS:
City Manager Wine discussed the council travel budget. Travel increased to $7,000 for
council and the mayor's travel rose to$12,600. Discussion was held on whether this amount
is adequate for the mayor's travel. Ms. Wine said$10,000 was budgeted for next year's Youth
Advisory trip,which is enough to send two youths and one chaperone to Washington DC
for a conference.
The next fifth Tuesday occurs in June and City Manager Wine will be discussing options for
some form of council engagement with the community.

eAssistant City Manager Newton mentioned that Google Fiber wishes to meet with the city on
May 14 to talk about a possible franchise. Other cities besides Portland,which already has a
franchise agreement with Google, have also been contacted. Attending the meeting for Tigard will
be Assistant City Manager Newton,Assistant to the City Manager Mills and city attorneys.
City Manager Wine updated council on Comcast negotiations and said the franchise agreement must
have unanimous approval from all Metropolitan Area Communication Commission (MACC) cities
and Hillsboro has some issues with the agreement. If Hillsboro votes no, the cities may have to
move into a formal process with Comcast.

4. CONSIDER HEAL CITY CAMPAIGN RESOLUTION
laHuman Resources Director Bennett gave the staff report on joining the healthy eating and
active living (HEAL) City campaign which is before council by resolution. She said HEAL is a
project between the Oregon Public Health Institute and the League of Oregon Cities and is funded
by Kaiser Permanente. The HEAL campaign encourages cities to create policies and expand
options for every person to have affordable and convenient access to wholesome foods,encourage
and provide access to physical activity and build a culture of wellness within a municipal employee
group.The main three components include education about health and recognition that the status
quo represents an ongoing risk to children, alternatives,resources and technical assistance. If
council approves Tigard joining the campaign, the city will become one of 25 cities in Oregon
actively working to improve public health.Tigard already enjoys several policies promoting healthy
living in our community, from the strategic plan to the Tigard Farmers Market.There are four levels
and based on initial review Tigard will come in at a level three and will aspire to attain a level four
within the first year of being a campaign participant. Staff encourages council to adopt the
resolution.
Councilor Woodard asked why the LOC chose this organization among several that do similar
things. He said any program like this only benefits a city and said he is favorable of the program.
He said AARP has a very similar program and they have done an assessment of Tigard finding the
city is a contender to being a part of their age-friendly communities program.
Councilor Goodhouse asked if there was any reason the city could not to join multiple programs.
City Manager Wine said Councilor Woodard and Mayor Cook have asked staff to investigate what is
involved with the AARP plan and Councilor Goodhouse mentioned learning about the Let's Move
program so staff is also looking into it. Councilor Woodard said he agreed with Councilor
Goodhouse's recommendation to consider the Let's Move program as it will benefit Tigard's youth.

5. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING ON STORM WATER,PARKS,AND
TRANSPORTATION SDCs AND FEES
a. Council President Snider opened the public hearing. El
b. Hearing Procedures —Council President Snider said any person wishing to comment on this
matter shall be given the opportunity to do so.
c. Staff Report—Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance,River Terrace Project
Manager Shanks and FCS Consultant Todd Chase were present. Mr. LaFrance said this is the
tenth time staff and the consultants have been before council in the past year to discuss the
process to create a Tigard Transportation System Development Charge (SDC) and update
Tigard's Parks SDC. This has been part of a citywide process and also part of the River
Terrace process. He said extensive meetings have been held with the residential development
community in relation to River Terrace. Mr.LaFrance said there are two hearings for the
SDCs and this first hearing is a discussion about changes to the Tigard Municipal Code and
SDC methodology adoption.A second hearing will be held to consider adopting the actual
fees derived from this methodology. He said staff proposes that the one-time Parks SDCs
which are paid as development occurs be adopted as shown in the council packet.
Mr. LaFrance said staff will be recommending changes to transportation SDCs after having
further discussion with the residential development community. Much time and thought
was put into the residential transportation system development charges and as a result, a
discount was provided on that fee. Council gave direction to discount the fee which resulted
in about a 70 percent discount. Staff did not have the same level of discussion with the
nonresidential development community and there was initially no discount provided to their
projects.The proposal in council's packet does not offer a discount.After concerns were
raised by the commercial development community, staff is recommending an alternate
proposal that will discount the nonresidential Transportation SDCs equal to what residential
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 5 of 22
would receive, or about 70 percent. This increases by five percent the total unfunded city
transportation projects over the next 20 years.
Another option will also be discussed. This keeps an equal discount,but reduces
nonresidential SDCs and raises residential SDCs in order to maintain the same level of non-
funded projects for the next 20 years.
Other options for council consideration include postponing the nonresidential SDC
effective date. The rationale is that the city had extensive discussions with the residential
developers but while the outreach to nonresidential developers met legal requirements,it was
not at the same level as residential. This delay would help nonresidential developers work
these new changes into their plans. In response to a question from Council President Snider,
Mr. LaFrance said they are recommending postponing no longer than one year.
A third consideration is that council asked staff to propose a discount for smaller residential
housing. The rate consultant feels this is defensible. The Home Builders Association argues
that by changing the fee to be based upon the square footage of a home, the city is going
away from impacts to the system and closer to a tax. No other city has done it this way so
there is no case law. Because of Council's risk tolerance to becoming case law for the State,
staff is recommending going back to the standard of single-family,multi-family and
nonresidential classifications.
Mr.LaFrance showed a PowerPoint presentation, a copy of which is in the packet for this
meeting. For Parks and Transportation SDCs there is a reimbursement portion and an
improvement portion which is the bulk of the SDC.
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) discounts were discussed. Finance and Information
Services Director LaFrance said it is development in the downtown area. If a development
comes in that is near mass transit and would require people to have no more than one car
then they are putting fewer trips on the road so would be eligible for a discount.
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance showed a slide of all the SDCs for
Tigard, including sewer, storm water, water, transportation, parks and Washington County's
transportation development tax (1'DT). Option B-1 was the option in council's packet.
Tigard is priced in the middle of the list of local municipalities. On a citywide basis for a
single-family detached home the SDCs would be a little less than $34,000 and in River
Terrace the same home would be a little less than $40,000. Mr. LaFrance mentioned that in
North Bethany there is a Washington County Service District which will appear on a
homeowner's property tax bill and will help pay for road construction. It is similar to an
SDC in that it goes towards the same purpose, but it is paid differently. An SDC is paid by
the developer but this charge is paid annually by the homeowner.
Mr.LaFrance said council asked for commercial development Transportation SDC
information expressed through two examples,a small coffee shop and an office complex.
Option B-2—Coffee shop example.A citywide commercial developer would pay a
discounted amount in the same amount as provided to residential. So in this example, the
citywide commercial development would be charged$121,000 rather than $197,000,bringing
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 6 of 22
it closer to the North Bethany area cost. In River Terrace,the same development would pay
$122,000 instead of$211,000. This is the scenario staff is recommending. Option B-3 has a
slightly smaller discount enabling the city to keep the unfunded project list to$420,000,000.
He showed a similar slide for a 40,000 square foot office complex example. Stakeholder
input was received and staff has represented that input through the recommended SDCs.
The last slide showed a side-by-side comparison for single-family residential,multi-family
residential and commercial development. Option B-1 is the version in the council packet
and has no discount for nonresidential development. Option B-2 is staff's recommendation
(residential SDC is unchanged and nonresidential SDC is discounted an equal amount.
Unfunded project costs go up five percent). Option B-3 has an increase in residential SDCs
to make up for a shortfall created by the commercial discount.This scenario keeps the
unfunded project cost the same.
The rationale for staff recommending Option B-2 is that there has been an extensive and
cooperative exchange of information between staff,council,the community and the
developers on the residential SDCs. Staff felt having a five percent impact on the unfunded
project list was not as big of an impact as Option B-3 would be on residential customers.
Staff is also asking for a potential delay for commercial SDCs that is later than July 1,2015
but no later than July 1,2016.
d. II Public Testimony—City Attorney Ramis said this is a legislative enactment by council
and not subject to land use limitations.
Proponents - No one signed up to speak.
Opponents -
John Kloor, Government Relations Coordinator for the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Portland,read a statement,a copy of which has been entered into the record.
He spoke on behalf of the more than 1,400 members of the Home Builders Association and
said he was here to express concerns with the city's proposed Parks and Transportation SDC
charges methodologies. He said he wanted to be clear that they support SDCs as a way of
helping fund needed infrastructure. They also understand that a new area such as River
Terrace has additional needs that will require extra costs. With that said, they also have a
general concern with how much SDCs are rising and their impact on housing affordability.
SDCs are now the second highest building cost after land in the price of most homes. SDCs
are not the only way new development can pay for needed costs but they have a significant
impact on home prices,affordability and mortgage debt. He requested that council consider
these overall impacts and also review their specific concerns. In addition to the general
concerns with housing affordability they also want to raise specific concerns related to the
proposal before council.
>They would very much appreciate having more time to review these with city staff before
council votes on the proposed methodology and increases.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov Page 7 of 22
1. Parks SDC projected cost: They appreciate that a lot of work has gone into these
numbers. However,the Parks SDC plan appears to contain very high estimates for some of
the capital improvements needed that may be overinflating the total costs and that is
impacting the proposed SDCs.They would appreciate an opportunity to review these costs
in more detail.
2. Transportation SDC Impact: In North Bethany they have utilized a county service
district which helps pay for the infrastructure improvements and reduces the amount put on
housing through a Transportation SDC. They strongly urge Tigard to use a similar
approach. Adding the proposed SDC to the existing Washington County Transportation
Development Tax would create a total charge to new housing of over$16,000 for
transportation. Over the life of a mortgage that would add$40,000-$50,000 in debt to a
homeowner.
3. On the Transportation SDC scaling to home size,no jurisdiction to date in Oregon bases
Transportation SDCs off of the square footage of the home. State statute requires than an
SDC must be directly related to the impact a new home has on the transportation system.
The widely used and accepted practice is to base impact,using data from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) and their trip generation manual which only distinguishes
trip use between multi-family and single-family homes. The fact that ITE has never been
able to show a nexus between single-family home size and trip usage is telling. As is the fact
that the consultants the city hired had to compile a new source from a couple of anecdotal
surveys.They believe this violates ORS 223.299,which states that an SDC must have a
nexus to increased usage. There is no accepted standard that shows a smaller or larger home
has a lesser or greater impact on a transportation system. They appreciate this approach is
being explored for affordability issues of smaller homes. However, there are other ways to
accomplish this goal and they will willingly work with the city to explore some of these
alternatives.
4. SDC Discounts:The FCS report states that there are discounts off of the maximum
allowed SDCs for both transportation and parks. These discounts acknowledge that using
the full SDC could unduly burden housing affordability and that there are other ways new
users can pay for added infrastructure, e.g.,bonds,utility fees,grants and credits. They
support this approach but are unable to determine the discounts from the report
information. They would like the opportunity to review this further with staff to better
understand what is being recommended.
5. On the effective date,the draft ordinance before council has this drastic fee increase
becoming effective in a little over two months,July 1,2015.They believe strongly that any
increase should have a longer lead time and be phased in so that residential development
projects currently in process to begin the permitting process won't be unnecessarily
burdened by additional costs that could not have been foreseen when pro forma analyses
and financing were finalized.
Mr. Kloor said they realize a lot of work has gone into the proposed methodology reports
and appreciate the many concerns they typically have with new methodologies that have
been factored by staff and FCS Group into this work. He said they do not believe their
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov Page 8 of 22
concerns will lead to significant delays in review but in light of these concerns they ask that
council grant a two-week continuance in order to allow for additional review and potential
revised recommendations. He thanked council for their consideration.
® Council President Snider asked about point No. 2 and said when considering that the
ultimate responsibility for paying for transportation is most probably the owner of the
property,how does it differ to pay on annual property taxes instead of having it lumped into
an SDC. Mr. Kloor said he would make the argument that on the mortgage tax through the
North Bethany county service district they are not paying an interest rate. He asked how it is
different in the ultimate total cost whether they are paying annually or it is lumped into an
SDC. Council President Snider commented that having to finance it makes it more
expensive and Mr. Kloor said that it correct.
® Councilor Goodhouse asked about Item No. 3 and what were the other ways to
accomplish the goal of affordable housing. Mr. Kloor said housing affordability is a larger
policy issue that they would need time to discuss with their staff as well as with the city and
they would welcome that opportunity. He said the City of Portland provides SDC waivers
for certain homes built that meet lower income buying standards. Incentives include
accelerated permitting and other incentives to encourage the development of affordable
housing. Councilor Goodhouse said he hears from developers that it is difficult to build
lower priced homes because of the high SDCs and he thought if they were lower on lower
prices homes it would encourage more to be built. Mr. Kloor said,"Perhaps, but with the
cost of land in our region being the significantly most expensive cost in a home price, I think
that lowering the SDCs slightly to encourage smaller development remains to be seen.At the
end of the day it would depend on whether that penciled for developers."
® Kelly Hossaini,attorney with Miller Nash said she was representing the Tigard-Tualatin
School District, She mentioned that TTSD Chief Financial Officer David Moore and
TTSD Board Member Maureen Wolf were also present.
Ms. Hossaini said TTSD is concerned about the nonresidential portion of the
Transportation SDCs because that is what they would pay when building a new school.
When they received the information they ran scenarios to determine how it might affect the
district's ability to provide new school facilities and were shocked. The proposed City of
Tigard Transportation SDC for a new 600-student elementary school outside of River
Terrace would be$1.2 million. Adding that to the county's Transportation Development
Tax would increase the Transportation SDCs for a new elementary school to over$1.4
million. She said she attached a table to her written testimony showing the cost of an
elementary school built in different Portland metropolitan jurisdictions. She said the
Portland Transportation SDC would be about$203,000, compared to$1.4 million. In
Sherwood,which is one of the few cities in Washington County that has a city
Transportation SDC,the SDC for a new school would only be$289,000 for a 600-student
elementary school. She heard that last year Sherwood reduced their Transportation SDCs by
50 percent and that original SDC was far less than what is proposed here. She suggested
that staff do some research on this. Part of the reason it was reduced was because of the
economic impact it was having in the city.

Ms. Hossaini said that a 600-student elementary school built in River Terrace would have
Transportation SDCs of$1.6 million in River Terrace. The table she prepared shows that in
North Bethany,which is comparable to River Terrace,it would be $408,000. She said it was
hard to overestimate the impact this SDC would have on the district's ability to provide
needed school facilities. She said what may not be obvious is that this fee will put the brakes
on economic development efforts in the city,which in turn will harm the district because it
depends on a healthy tax base to fund local option levies. Local option levies allow the
district to fund a full school year and will do so in this biennium when other school districts
in Washington County are expecting to cut their school years.
Ms. Hossaini said staff has given council the option of reducing the Transportation SDCs
for nonresidential uses. She said it is their understanding that the proposed SDC for
residential development has always assumed a discount. A discount for nonresidential
development is helpful but what the district would ask is that staff take some additional time
to consider the nonresidential Transportation SDC. She said it does not seem that
stakeholders in the community who will be most affected by it have had time to review it.
The school district only learned this evening what the details of the discount might be. She
said they also ask that the city give their economic development team time to vet this with
the development community so it can be implemented with the least impact on its economic
development goals. This might include a delay,a phase-in,a reduction,or all of those things.
David Moore,Chief Financial Officer for Tigard-Tualatin School District said an
additional impact of$1 million could impact overall construction cost by 1-2 percent. This
represents one-two fewer classrooms to serve students. He said the District has true
concern about the economic impact in the Tigard community with these SDCs. TTSD is
one of the few districts in the metro area that did not reduce school days during the
recession.A good part of this was due to the local option levy that supplemented insufficient
state funding. He requested more time to vet the nonresidential SDCs with city staff. He
said there was a lot of outreach to the residential developers and the district,as a
nonresidential partner did not get that opportunity. They need this to vet the impact on the
district. He said at a minimum,they are asking for that outreach or at least consideration of
the discounted level SDCs for the school district.
I3Council Goodhouse said the numbers the district is using do not take into account the
crrepdit for the SDCs.
®Michael Marino, Senior Vice President at NAI -Norris Beggs&Simpson, said he is an
industrial real estate broker and has been working closely with the City of Tigard and its
economic development staff on the Fred Fields site on Hunziker and Wall Streets. He
commented that he is excited about the project. The proposed Transportation and Park
SDCs are concerning. After hearing staffs recommendation to council he is concerned that
the nonresidential side has not had enough input on this or enough time to vet their
concerns on the proposed schedule. He said it would be healthy to include the
nonresidential community in these discussions. It sounds like the residential side got their
fair due. The Fred Fields site is an important project to the City of Tigard and will bring
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 28, 2015

well-paying jobs, strong employment and in turn will hopefully assist those with the jobs
purchase homes in River Terrace.
Mr. Merino said heaping on increased SDC fees in addition to the Washington County SDC
fees seems counterproductive to the entire development process. He said further discussion,
especially on the nonresidential side should take place and he asked council to delay and not
adopt the fees proposed by staff. He mentioned that the developer on the Fields project,
Trammel Crow,was present. He closed by saying the economy has gotten better but the real
estate market has not improved enough for rental rates to support the developer paying the
proposed SDCs.
® Steve Wells,Trammel Crow Co., 1300 SW 5th Avenue, Suite 3050,Portland,OR, said
they are the contract purchaser for 18 acres of Fields property slated for industrial
development and have been working with Tigard's Economic Development Manager Purdy.
He said he was excited about the Enterprise Zone put in place to help make development a
reality on the industrial site. He said he wished he could say the discount on the SDCs is
great but even with a 70 percent discount,Washington County is by far the most expensive
place to develop office and industrial property in terms of the TDT and parks fees. It is very
difficult in Washington County to cover the extra cost of the county's TDT. Depending on
the type of development,industrial or office, the TDT in Washington County is two to four
times what it is in Multnomah County, Clackamas County or Portland. Adding 60 percent
on top of that makes it three to six times more. He gave examples of square footage costs.
General office space is $3.64 per foot in Portland, $4.30 in Clackamas County and$13.00 in
Tigard. A medical building in Portland is $9.57,in Clackamas around$14.00 and$42.00 in
Tigard. Light industrial costs $2.25 in Portland,$2.70 in Clackamas and even with the
discount would cost$8-$9 a foot in Tigard. To be$5-$6 more than any other part in town,
on a$70-$80 project,is a big deal for the development community. He said costs are rising
faster than values currently and the project next year will be difficult. He said they expect to
come in for project permits next summer but if these SDCs are in place,even at the
discounted rate,there will be a significant burden on this prospective project in Tigard.
III Clayton Hering, 1708 SW Highland Road,Portland, OR 97221,testified on three
things:
1. The city says it wants jobs. He has been before council several times working through
the process with city staff,who have been quite cooperative. But tonight we are talking
about a public policy that could significantly hurt the potential to create those jobs. Capital
is very efficient. It will go where it will get the best return.The significant increase puts
Tigard in a disadvantaged position and will slow down economic development for both
industrial and multi-family.
2. He is Board Chairman for Norris Beggs Simpson and has been in the industry for 43
years and Tigard has a reputation for being difficult to work with simply because of
attitudes and public policy;but this is almost criminal. Council needs to understand that
development takes 18,24,or 36 months to put together. There was nothing like this on the
table when they signed a contract with the city. Now they are under contract but the
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov Page 11 of 22
proposal is to implement this July 1. This is unfair. The rules of the game have changed.
Development does not move that fast.
3. Listen to people practicing in the market,not just consultants. In observing 40 brokers
operating all over the market,he sees that this particular SDC proposal is bad for job
creation,bad for economic development and bad for attracting housing. He added that
there is big talk now about affordable housing. But the city comes along and adds another
cost. This will kill the opportunity to do affordable housing with this SDC proposed for
nonresidential. He said he had a lot of confidence with this council and is working well with
staff but this felt like a hit in the face. He said he was hopeful that this could be resolved.
Neutral testimony-
ia Fred Gast,Polygon Northwest, 109 East 13th Street,Vancouver,WA 98660,said he
had planned specifically to speak about parks but wanted to weigh in on other information
presented by staff. He said they are supportive of Option B-2. He spoke about how parks
are integral and they are significant supporters of parks in any community they develop. He
said he was all for vibrant,active,amenity filled parks that will attract people to a
neighborhood. Ultimately,people are attracted to a neighborhood first and then a house.
His main concern was with the cost estimates used to create the backdrop for the parks fees
themselves. He noted they worked with staff on the Transportation SDCs and were able to
reconcile what their cost experience was with staff estimates. In doing so, they discovered
many areas where costs were overstated. They were able to work out concerns with staff
and ended up with numbers somewhere in between. They would like a similar opportunity
with parks. He asked if council had received correspondence from Jim Lang,which gave a
real-world example of a recently built park. He asked for time to ensure that the numbers
are in keeping with actual experience. He said as a developer with significant holdings in
River Terrace,Polygon will be building many of these parks and they do not want to pay an
inflated fee on top of what it costs to build. He commented that they were excited to get
started in River Terrace and from their point of view it has been a very beneficial and
positive experience working with the city.
Council President Snider noted Mr. Gast had spoken before council in the past and had
been positive about the process,the level of input and staff responsiveness. He asked if the
city fell short regarding Parks SDCs. Mr. Gast replied that it had not been long ago when
they saw what the SDC would be for parks and figured the impact of the fee. He said there
was not as much visibility. Council President Snider asked if he thought there was an
opportunity to partner further on this and Mr. Gast replied, "Absolutely."
El Michael Robinson, 1120 NW Couch Street,Portland, OR 97209, said he represented
West Hills Development. He said Mr. Dan Grimberg was also present and in the audience.
He said he agreed with those asking for a continuance and believed additional time is
warranted. He said city staff has been very good to work with through the River Terrace
process and there should be more opportunity to address issues raised on the residential
side. He referred to a letter sent to Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance
today and reiterated three points from it.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 28, 2015

1. They agree with the staff recommendation to eliminate the scaled fee proposal for
single-family dwellings.
2. They are concerned about cost estimates for transportation improvements and want
additional time to discuss this with staff.
3. The city's SDC program should consider the upcoming county MSTIP bond program.
They have high confidence that it will be enacted this year and it may pay for some of the
arterials in River Terrace.
He thanked council for their time and hoped they will grant a short continuance to discuss
these issues with staff.
®Jamie Stasny, 17933 NW Evergreen Parkway,Beaverton, OR 97006, spoke on behalf
of Metropolitan Land Group. She echoed testimony given by others that the
Transportation SDC is too onerous on the development community. They encourage
further analysis on the project cost estimates. They have always proposed that the city
consider a similar approach as North Bethany where a county service district is being used.
This changes the way the financial picture looks and the burden is not up front on the
developer but can be paid over time by the resident. She said the Parks SDC is excessive
and has increased significantly since they first saw the draft last week. There has not been a
lot of time to review the project cost list. They request a continuance of this hearing to
allow time to coordinate with staff and resolve issues.
Canine Arendes,9524 SW North Dakota Street,Tigard, 97223, said a lot has been
heard from the development community but we have not heard a lot from the park users or
Tigard transportation system users. She said she was not speaking for or against the SDCs
but when the issue came up a few months ago it was noted that many communities are
struggling with paying for their infrastructure improvements. In areas of green fields
development like North Bethany and Cooper Mountain there are increases but some other
communities that are not doing this yet. Tigard may be on the forefront of potential push
for municipalities to find funding solutions to pay for the costs of providing services to our
citizens. We should not be surprised that there is some shock about this. However,we are
hearing from the development community that they want to take some time to think about
these things a little. Time is money for these folks and if they are expressing a need to look
at the issue shat is something we should be considering. She added that construction costs
are rising,not just for buildings,but also for roads. We need to find a sustainable way to
fund those.
® Robert Van Vlack 15585 SW 109th Tigard, OR,asked, "If the developers are not going
to pay the cost of the upgrade in the infrastructure,who does? It would be residents of the
city of Tigard paying to build up the infrastructure. How does that work?" Council
President Snider said that is an excellent question and one he intends to ask during the
council discussion. Mr. Van Vlack said he lives in a 55 and older community of 1,700
residents in Summerfield. Most are on a fixed income and he would rather not see the
burden dumped on them,but would like development to pay their way when coming into a
community.

e. Council questions.
Councilor Woodard asked how something like the Bethany service district could be applied.
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said the concept was considered but
staff found that as an incorporated city Tigard cannot do that. Consultant Chase said their
service district includes a$1.25 levy per thousand assessed value,primarily used for
transportation improvements and capital projects. That lowered the burden of the SDC
requirements but an average homeowner would pay$430 a year,which is not insignificant.
Cities have the option for a voter-approved levy for a special area, such as River Terrace.
Councilor Goodhouse said if less gets paid by developers the cost could spill over to Tigard
citizens on their utility bills. Mr.LaFrance said if the city collects less through SDCs, fewer
projects on the 20-year list will be completed. This could mean more congested roads or it
could mean that improvements will be paid by current and future residents and not by
developers putting in the roads or paying SDCs.
IRCouncil President Snider noted that a few people testified about the Parks SDCs being
too high or not accurate. He asked if staff felt this would benefit from a process similar to
what was done for Transportation SDCs. Mr. LaFrance said yes,that could be done but
questioned how much of an impact it would have on the SDC. He said however, direction
from council is that River Terrace development happens this summer so we need to act
quickly. Council President Snider asked for a definition of"quickly." Mr. LaFrance said
staff desires to have this on a council business meeting agenda in May. He said there is not
enough time to put in the same level of effort that was done for Transportation SDCs
because there was more lead time. He said staff could meet and look for efficiencies but he
wanted to set up the expectation in advance that they may not be able to have the same
level of effort.
Councilor Woodard expressed concerns about the nonresidential SDC impact on schools,
small businesses and economic development. He asked if there was any better discount
scenario for schools. He said there is$420 million in projects that need to be done in 20
years but maybe the city does not complete the entire list. He acknowledged that was just
moving things down the road. He suggested there be at least some review on the Parks and
Transportation SDCs.
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance responded that a lot of effort went
into transportation SDCs and they could work even further which might make staff more
uncomfortable and developers less uncomfortable but he thought they had struck that
balance already on the project costs. He noted that project costs form the backbone of
what can be charged for SDCs. He said from a staff standpoint,"That ship has sailed."Mr.
LaFrance said there could be discussions on Parks SDCs within a two-week period.
Council President Snider said he had the utmost confidence that the developer group in the
audience would participate.
Councilor Woodard said he was not as concerned with the Parks SDC but thought the
Transportation total was high. Council President Snider said the only place for movement
was to fund less and do fewer projects in the future. Councilor Woodard commented on
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 14 of 22
the short time period to review the nonresidential SDCs. Mr. LaFrance said there is
complete recognition that there was not the same level of conversation on nonresidential
and staff is recommending the same discount level as residential. If council, from a policy
standpoint,wants to envision a scenario where nonresidential is given a different discount,
staff can delay adoption and implementation. But if council feels there is equity, further
discussion would not bear much fruit for council. Council President Snider said they are
looking at funding a basic elementary school that has SDCs costing 3-4 times what they
would be in most jurisdictions and the district did not have time to review updated
numbers. He did not like this process. Councilor Woodard said he wanted nonresidential
developers to have a separate discussion.
Councilor Goodhouse asked Consultant Chase how the figures were arrived at for the
smaller homes. Consultant Chase said the IT publishes a trip generation that not only takes
into account dwelling units but also takes into account people in the dwelling unit,but they
do not publish a rate based on the square feet of a detached home. He took the Metro trip
information from models which showed that as the number of people per dwelling
increases, trips increase.The National Association of Home Builders has studies that
indicate the average number of people per dwelling unit per square feet in a detached home.
They correlated three options: three or fewer bedroom homes,homes with three bedrooms
or more and then five bedroom homes. Builders said they would like to build more cottage
homes but do not want to be charged the same as an estate house. Councilor Goodhouse
asked about other options to encourage builders to build affordable homes. Consultant
Chase said this option is that it is revenue neutral. Fee waivers were another option which
would be a decision to undercharge and subsidize that type of housing.
Senior Planner Shanks clarified the timeline, saying the goal for River Terrace
implementation,was to get things moving this summer. Staff thought it advisable to get the
infrastructure financing in place as soon as possible,with July 1 as a good target date. Code
amendments adopted in February allow developers to start applications but compliance is
delayed as SDCs are not locked into place until a developer pulls a building permit.
Although this is months away,the longer the fees are hanging out there unresolved the
more uncomfortable it is for the developers and for the city. July 1 is not a magical date
if council wants staff to spend more time on this, as long as that particular development
community is comfortable with the fees unresolved. She said she is hearing from them
tonight that they would like more time.
CJ Council President Snider asked the City Attorney about the letter from the Home
Builders Association, specifically the allegation that one of the methodologies used violates
ORS 223.299.
City Attorney Ramis said he has not had time to study the letter. He asked if the letter
pertained to charging a sliding scale for size and square footage of a house and said in his
experience that was an untested methodology. He said he did not know of any litigation
experience that would support using it. The statute is written in general terms so in the end
it will be a question of whether or not the city can justify,based upon actual data, the use of
that particular methodology. He did not think it was prohibited by the statute but the
question is whether we can meet the burden of proof demonstrating that it is supported by
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 15 of 22
the evidence. Council President Snider said more people live in a bigger house and more
people generate more trips;it intuitively makes sense. City Attorney Ramis said the test of
the methodology is the circuit court proceeding and the question will be whether or not we
have in our existing record the data that would support that methodology. Council
President Snider asked staff if they believe we do.
Consultant Chase responded that ideally there would be three ways to demonstrate this
opposed to one,and more diligence on cities that have adopted a similar approach. City
Attorney Ramis said, "But again,the question is,is the data in the record now?That will be
the test." Consultant Chase said this policy is revenue neutral. Council President Snider
asked if the Stakeholder Working Group and others offering feedback favored this. Senior
Planner Shanks replied that among letters received before this hearing, one developer did
not support the tiered approach to housing;two did not like it and did not think it was legal
and the other two were silent. Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said it
was a policy suggested by council at the last workshop.
Councilor Woodard said he was favorable towards affordable housing but thought there
were other ways to get it developed. He expressed discomfort with the potential legal risk
and did not want the city to be a case study in litigation. Council President Snider agreed
and said he had a lack of confidence in this approach.
lI Council President Snider asked for comments on the MSTIP as a funding source. Mr.
LaFrance said it fits in well with our funding strategy and would not impact the proposal
before council tonight. He said the MSTIP deals with Roy Rogers Road which is a county
Transportation Development Tax funded project in the methodology. It does not impact
citywide or River Terrace SDCs. Consultant Chase said they are only including a small
portion of Roy Rogers Road in their methodology. It is a much bigger project than the City
of Tigard would do so two thirds of the cost is not there. Mr. LaFrance said there is a
strong likelihood that the county will help expand Roy Rogers Road.
Council President Snider asked for a revised figure on what the Transportation SDC was for
the 600 student school with the current discount. Mr.LaFrance said the city portion would
go from$1.2 million to around$400,000. Consultant Chase said including the county's
TDT it would bring it to$600,000. He added that when developing a new school in
Portland they are building around roads and infrastructure that is most likely already there.
It might be cheaper to pay the impact fees in River Terrace than to build roads. But if you
build the roads,you will get credits for a good proportion of that.
In response to a question from Councilor Goodhouse, Consultant Chase said the TDT was
capped as a policy choice and jurisdictions in Washington County are beginning to look at
nonresidential rates and be competitive in the market but still charge a nonresidential use
for its impact on roads. Councilor Goodhouse reiterated that if the city offers too much of a
discount the residents of Tigard will need to pick up the rest on a utility bill or elsewhere.
Consultant Chase said another strategy to consider is a non-remonstrance clause in
development agreements so a local improvement district (LID) can be formed if needed to
fund a gap in a project required to serve development in the future. Happy Valley and other
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 16 of 22
areas have done this. Council does not have to decide everything tonight. It can be revisited
every five years.
Council President Snider asked for comments on statements by developers that the Fields
property is going to be 2-4 to 3-6 times more expensive in commercial or industrial
development than Multnomah or Clackamas County. Mr. LaFrance said staff has not done a
comparison on areas other than Washington County. Consultant Chase said Tigard is at the
high end of the region in nonresidential development. He suggested there might be certain
types of nonresidential development that the city might want to incentivize more than
others, such as family-wage jobs versus service jobs. Policy decisions on incentives can be
held later.
Councilor Woodard asked for Economic Development Director Purdy's input on this but
Mr. Purdy indicated he had none at this time.
f. Staff recommendation: Mr. LaFrance said the staff recommendation is to adopt the
Parks SDCs as put before the council and adopt Option B-2 for Transportation SDCs with
an implementation date for nonresidential Transportation SDCs of not later than July 1,
2016.
g. Council President Snider closed the public hearing. He asked for council discussion and
consideration.
h. Council Discussion and Consideration: Ordinance No. 15-08
Councilor Woodard moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 15-08,look at nonresidential at
a later time. Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance repeated that the staff
recommendation is to approve the Parks SDC methodology as is in front of council,
unchanged. The staff recommendation on Transportation SDCs is to adopt Option B-2,
nonresidential SDCs discounted as the same rate as residential.Additionally, to
accommodate the time for nonresidential commercial developers time to incorporate new
fees into their work,the nonresidential SDC has a delayed implementation date one year
later than residential.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodard,Mr.LaFrance confirmed council can
always amend the fees at a later date. Council President Snider asked where Option B-2
leaves the issue of housing size and Mr. LaFrance said it goes back to the standard single-
family,multi-family and nonresidential classifications without the small home discount and
additional charge for larger homes.
Councilor Woodard said he wanted more discussion on using the same discount rate for
nonresidential. Councilor Goodhouse noted that if a delayed implementation date of July
2016 is selected,council could go back and amend it. Council President Snider said an
important process step was missed with commercial development. While he welcomed
the developers present at the meeting it is quite another thing to have a public body identify
issues whose main interest is educating our children. He expressed concern and said he
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 28, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 17 of 22
wanted more of an opportunity to review nonresidential impacts. The school's needs
align with the concerns of the developers, particularly on the nonresidential side.
Councilor Woodard moved for approval of Ordinance No. 15-08 per recommendation of
staff less the nonresidential portion so SDC methodology can be reviewed. Mr. LaFrance
asked if he meant nonresidential for Parks or for Transportation SDCs. Councilor Woodard
said just for Transportation SDCs for nonresidential. City Manager Wine said the staff
recommendation includes Option B-2.
There was no second for the motion. Council President Snider commented that with
feedback received on the Parks methodology and because cost concerns were identified by a
developer that has generally been supportive, the city should take time to review this. He
recommended the review happen rapidly,within two weeks. He said he is supportive of
moving ahead with Option B2,minus nonresidential and with a July 1, 2015 implementation
date. He said Parks SDCs altogether need more review. City Manager Wine said there could
be time allotted in the May workshop to continue the discussion.
Councilor Goodhouse moved to adopt Ordinance No. 15-08,with Option B, minus parks
and nonresidential SDCs. Councilor Woodard seconded the motion. Council President
Snider clarified that the option Councilor Goodhouse meant was, "B-2." Council President
Snider asked City Recorder Krager to repeat the motion:

a. Council President Snider opened the public hearing.
b. Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance gave the staff report and said council
just adopted the methodology for part of the transportation SDCs and this resolution will
amend the fees and charges schedule. He suggested that the motion reflect the actions
taken by council in the prior hearing so it would only be for amending the residential
Transportation SDC commensurate with Option B-2. This resolution also authorizes the
City Manager to approve and amend the policy guidelines related to implementing the SDCs.
c. Public Testimony: Council President Snider asked if anyone wanted to speak.
Michael Robinson,representing West Hills Development, 1120 NW Couch Street, 10th
Floor,Portland,OR,97208, said that because of council's action to adopt the residential
portion of the Transportation SDCs in the prior hearing,West Hills Development needs to
go on the record as opposing the adoption of the master fees and charges for
Transportation. He said they need to do this to preserve their right to appeal. They
appreciate their relationship with city staff, the Planning Commission and with Council but
this is a standing matter. They do not know whether or not they will appeal. He said they
would have preferred to have been given a slight delay for additional time to talk about the
Transportation SDCs but they appreciate the council's position.
Jon Kloor,representing the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland, 15555 SW
Bangy Road,Lake Oswego, OR 97035, said similar to what Mr. Robinson stated,in order to
preserve their right to appeal,he is on the record to oppose,based on council's previous
decision to adopt the residential Transportation SDC methodology without allowing a
postponement of two weeks.
Michael Robinson,representing West Hills Development, 1120 NW Couch Street, 10th
Floor,Portland,OR,97208, said he wanted to incorporate their testimony,including written
testimony dated today from the prior hearing into the testimony from this hearing as well.
d. Council Consideration and discussion.
Councilor Woodard moved for approval of Resolution No. 15-15 with staff amendments.
Mr.LaFrance said staff recommendation is to adopt the resolution and the master fees and
charges schedule commensurate with the decisions made in the prior hearing,that would be
to adopt the Transportation SDCs for residential development,commensurate with Option
B-2 from the prior hearing.
e. Council President Snider closed the public hearing and said the motion to approve the
resolution needs to occur after the hearing is closed.
Councilor Woodard moved to approve Resolution No. 15-15 with what he said prior.
Councilor Goodhouse seconded the motion. City Recorder Kroger read the resolution.

8. LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD—UPCOMING CONTRACT DISCUSSION—
DOWNTOWN ENTRYWAY MONUMENTS
Public Contracts Manager Barrett gave the staff report on this item. The contract is for walls and
monuments for gateway art installation at two locations at the south and north end of Main Street
at Highway 99W. Staff will bring to council at a future meeting a recommendation to approve a
contract. The improvements include 237 linear feet of wall with natural stone facing,'Welcome
to Downtown Tigard" signage, seating,artwork base, electrical and water utilities. He said this
project will implement the Tigard Downtown Streetscape Design Plan. The prominence of the
gateway will attract new visitors to downtown and assist in place making for the downtown and
the city.The Tigard Downtown Alliance and others have identified art as an important part of the
downtown. The city contracted with Koch Landscape Architecture for the design and issued a
request for bids to build it on March 23. Three bids were received. The bids included Alternate 1
which was to build the two monuments concurrently,Alternate 2 which was to build the south
gateway followed by the north gateway 12-18 months later. Upon the bid opening staff found the
lead contactor had both the low base bid and the low Alternate 1 bid. Staff will bring a
recommendation to council in a few weeks to approve a $349,000 contract for the base bid and
Alternate 1 —building the bases concurrently.
Council President Snider verified that the discussion is on the site preparation and building of the
wall and monument. Redevelopment Project Manager Family said part of the artist's contract is
to install the artwork. Councilor Woodard asked about budget figures listed on the agenda item
summary fiscal notes. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly clarified that there was $675,000
in the CCDA tax increment financing budget for property purchase but that will likely be paid for
by park bond funds, so that money is free to be used for another purpose.

Councilor Woodard said gateways are important and there is a lot invested in the artwork. He said
the city needs to brand the downtown and this will be a perfect segue into the heart of the city. He
said he is in favor of Alternate 1 (concurrent building) and Council President Snider agreed.
Councilor Goodhouse commented about the amount and said there are many other needs in the
city. Council President Snider said the key is what this does to further activate the downtown and
send a clear signal that downtown Tigard is a new and exciting place to be.
Council President Snider requested that staff be prepared for a discussion of the artwork color and
the relative value of the art by the community. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said the
CCAC Public Art Sub-committee worked on this for many months and member Valerie Otani is
here to discuss the process.
CCAC Public Art Subcommittee member Valerie Otani said Council President Snider brought up
some good points. She said everyone has opinions on public art and there will be controversy.
She showed a slide of the elk statue in downtown Portland. When it was installed the Elks
organization was very critical of the design. A Calder sculpture in Grand Rapids was reviled. Yet
after a while this became their brand and the sculpture now appears on their logo flag. She
showed slides of other artwork in cities and said everyone has comments early on but then there is
a period of adjustment. She noted that the original Tigard sculpture was a brown,bronze color
but this did not meet visibility requirements. Red and yellow colors did not work because they
matched the nearby commercial businesses. The artist came up with a pink color which will stand
out against the nearby green trees. She noted that any color selection will appear lighter when
flooded with sunlight. The colors will change in different weather and lighting.The artist created
faceted petals specifically to create light and shadows.
Council President Snider said there was criticism of the former design and he has recently heard
criticism about the current design. In response to a comment by Councilor Goodhouse asking
why the city cannot pay for increased library hours but can afford to install art,Councilor
Woodard said he recognized Councilor Goodhouse's frustration but the city cannot mix funds;
they are in different pots of money. He noted the difficulty of communicating this to citizens.
Council President Snider said another important distinction is that this is a one-time installation
expense rather than an ongoing operating expense.
Public Contracts Manager Barrett said this contract will come before council on May 26. Council
President Snider requested that Assistant City Manager Newton discuss this with Councilor
Henderson and Mayor Cook so that any bid award questions get worked through with staff prior
to the May 26 meeting.

TIGARD June 23, 2015
STUDY SESSION—6:30 p.m.
Council Present: Mayor Cook,Councilor Henderson and Councilor Woodard
Council Absent: Council President Snider and Councilor Goodhouse
Staff Present: City Manager Wine,Assistant City Manager Newton,Public Works Director Rager,City
Engineer Faha,Public Works Manager Martin,City Attorney Ramis and City Recorder Krager.
A. Council Liaison Reports
Mayor Cook reported on the US Mayor's Conference held in San Francisco. Policy
recommendations and priorities include keeping the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG)program fully funded and new transportation funding. Speaker Salman Khan profiled his
educational company that features free teaching and training videos and Mayor Cook said this
showed potential for use in the library.
B. Update on the North Dakota Street Bridge
City Engineer Faha introduced OBEC Consultant Jason Kelly. She discussed the problems with the
bridge, citizen responses and options. She said staff was surprised to receive the ODOT letter
recommending a three-ton weight limit. Since that could easily be exceeded by a large truck, city
staff chose to close it immediately for safety reasons. Bridge engineering firm OBEC was hired to
help the city explore options for the North Dakota Street bridge and also inspect and report on the
Tigard Street bridge.
A temporary solution will enable the bridge to reopen within six weeks. This will involve jacking up
the bridge,replacing timbers and adding a walkway. OBEC is assisting the city with an STIP grant
that could pay as much as 90 percent of the costs.
City Engineer Faha said most citizen comments asked for the bridge to open and many wanted
pedestrian improvements. Some requested an additional crossing from North Dakota to Tigard
Street. She commented that neighborhood drivers are not finding alternative routes. Tigard's code
requires two ingresses and egresses for neighborhoods for emergency access and this closure did not
support that.
The cost is $2.6 million for the complete fix and less than$80,000 for the interim solution. The
grant being sought is for the long-term solution. City Manager Wine said this is council's notice that
staff will be applying for the grant.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -JUNE 23, 2015
City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I www.tigard-or.gov Page 1 of 5
Mayor Cook asked OBEC Engineer Kelly about the condition of the Tigard Street bridge. Mr.
Kelly said it is in better shape than the North Dakota bridge but could worsen within five years.
Councilor Henderson said he could not support any solution that does not include a walkway,the
need for which has been apparent for many years. He said regarding the long-range plan,it is a bad
bridge in a bad location and having two railroad crossings so close together is a violation. He noted
that he tested the bridge pilings with an icepick a few years ago and discovered issues with it then.
Public Works Director Rager replied that there was a disconnect between ODOT's inspection
process and follow through. A previous inspection report had some indicators that showed rot. He
said the city is taking more of a long-term view of all bridges and is developing a bridge master plan.
EXECUTIVE SESSION At 7:14 p.m. Mayor Cook announced that the Tigard City Council was
entering into Executive Session to discuss real property negotiations under ORS 192.660(2)(e).The
Executive Session ended at 7:27 p.m.
STUDY SESSION CONTINUED:Administrative Items -
1. City Manager Wine asked council if either August 31 or September 2 would work for
a training session with Lenny Borer. He had been asked to return in six-eight months and
check in about communication styles and how things are going. She asked them to let her
know which possible date will work for them.
2. City Manager Wine said that Mr. Grove from the Home Builders Association requested a
meeting to discuss citywide SDCs and asked for a delay in implementation. She is unsure
what the next step will be. Staff is already meeting with non-residential developers. She said
staff wants to know if there is a desire from council to revisit their actions. It is unknown if
the concerns raised by the Home Builders are just for the River Terrace portion of the
Transportation SDCs or if they will appeal council's decision. City Attorney Ramis said they
have 60 days (from April 28)which makes June 29 the deadline for an appeal. Their appeal
can only raise what they brought up during the SDC hearing and the judge can only look at
the written record. Councilor Henderson asked when council approved the SDC rates.
City Manager Wine said the master fees and charges were adopted when the budget was
adopted. Councilor Henderson asked for a copy of the resolution and the master fees and
charges schedule.

Reid Iford, 11575 SW Pacific Highway, Suite 151,Tigard, Oregon 97223,read a letter from
40-50 downtown businesses asking council to support building a YMCA at the Burnham
Street location. The letter has been added to the packet for this meeting. He said they want
the 25,000 monthly trips and the parking lot to help them with the horrible parking problem
in the downtown. He gave some history of his involvement with issues in Tigard and said
his first project was working on the annexation of Washington Square into Tigard. He said
businesses do not understand why it is taking so long to get the YCMA onto the November
2015 ballot. He referred to the recent survey and said it was the largest positive response the
YMCA has received in the nation. He said the majority of the downtown businesses
support this and the council has a mandate from the Tigard businesses and voters. He said,

4. CONSIDER APPROVING A RENEWAL OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
WITH METRO FOR ILLEGAL DUMPING INVESTIGATION SERVICES
Chief Orr gave the staff report and requested a renewal of an intergovernmental agreement
(IGA) for one police detective to enforce Metro code within the Metro area,including illegal
dumping regulations. The city receives monthly reimbursement for pay and benefits plus a 10
percent administrative fee for one officer for a total of$154,000 in the next fiscal year.
Mayor Cook asked if the police find much illegal dumping in the Tigard area. Chief Orr
responded that they have. Councilor Woodard asked what types of items are the most prevelant
and Chief Orr said contractors are using dumpsites outside the Metro area because it is cheaper
than following construction debris disposal regulations. Contractors are required to use Metro
area landfills in order to dump their debris and some go out of the area. Councilor Henderson
asked how they catch those dumping illegally and Chief Orr said they use surveillance and
investigate dumped debris.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodard on fines,Chief Orr said he did not know
what the base fine is but repeat offenders are fined more for illegal dumping.
Councilor Woodard moved for approval of the IGA with Metro and Councilor Henderson
seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

2. UPDATE ON THE SW CORRIDOR PLANNING PROGRESS
Community Development Director Asher introduced TriMet Representative Unsworth and Metro Representative
Bihn who presented the item,accompanied by a PowerPoint,highlighting key components of the SW Corridor
Planning and public transit.
Mr.Bihn reported the reason jurisdictions look at high capacity transit(HCT)is for reliability and reduction in travel
time on the I-5 corridor.It was found that in free flow traffic it takes about 14 minutes to travel between Portland
State University and downtown Tualatin and in congested times it takes 58 minutes.HCT would take 30 minutes no
matter how the traffic flows. HCT or light rail transit (LRT)provides some relief in auto congestion but the study
shows a significant increase in the number of people utilizing transit from 1,510 to 3,640. This increase is contributed
to people choosing to ride HCT instead of driving and others who avoided 1-5,due to not being able to get through,
now driving on I-5 because they can.Models show a SW Corridor line would carry 24 percent of I-5 commuters
south of downtown in 2015. Mr.Bihn outlined the steering committee's changes to the SW Corridor original plan as:
• Removed Marquam Hill-Hillsdale tunnel(light rail)
• Removed Hillsdale Loop options for bus rapid transit(BRT) and light rail
• Advanced PCC via Capitol Highway BRT
• Rescheduled decisions on PCC via cut-and-cover tunnel(light rail)until 10-2015
• Approved technical modifications for minor tweaks
Council President Snider asked if things were removed due to not being financially viable. Mr. Unsworth said when
TriMet and Metro talked to Seattle counterparts it was discovered it would take four years to construct the tunnel,
which is a concern. Marquam Hill is located next to institutes where constructing 240 feet below ground presented
real risks. Pushing$1.2 million, the steering committee felt there was a better way to serve the community for less
money and asked for other areas to be investigated. Mr.Bihn added that the tunnels would have missed the
recommended serving points in the studies done by Tigard,Portland and Tualatin. Mr. Bihn pointed out the cost
versus ridership analysis is shown in the PowerPoint.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 972231503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov l Page 1 of 4
Mayor Cook stated Washington County Commissioner Rogers asked PCC what they were going to do to come to the
table and help. Mr. Unsworth said that was correct and PCC hired a consultant to help them figure that out. Some
options being explored are to move their public health schools to the Sylvania campus and asking for information
about where the patrons are coming from.TriMet knows community college ridership goes up significantly during a
recession. About 35 percent of the students take classes at other campuses,creating a lot of travel between the
campuses.There are a lot of things in the mix and TriMet is trying to better understand the travel patterns of their
students,to get smarter about where and how best to serve them and the cost benefits.
Mr.Bihn outlined the HCT iterations to be installed within the triangle and downtown districts.Mr. Unsworth said an
effort is being made to connect downtown Portland,PCC,Tigard/Tualatin and the two important stations in the
triangle and downtown Tigard.Ash Avenue iteration seems to be the most favorable as it has the most stations,no
loops and fast travel time. Concern is funding with the gap needing to be filled by state or regional funding. Mr.Asher
added the assumption is that 50 percent is going to have to be raised by the whole region.
Mr.Bihn stated these alignments would include pedestrian and bikeways improvements as part of this plan is
enhancements to local bus service to line 78,72 and 37.There are planned public engagements in Tigard at the Tigard
Farmer's Market in September or October,a public comment period in November and the steering committees
decision in December. Final design and construction will be 2021-2025.
Mayor Cook thanked Mr. Bihn and Mr. Unsworth for their presentation and looked forward to the public outreach
and engagement.
3. UPDATE ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Senior Management Analyst Wyatt reported a recent visitor to Tigard heard of our strategic plan and reflected on the
plan saying"Tigard has a lot of moxi in having that plan."This is a good description of what she saw while she was
here and where the plan is headed. Tonight is an update on the four goal areas and what has been accomplished in
each area.
• Goal 1: Walking and Connecting
o Some of the most noticeable are the Lighter,Quicker, Cheaper Projects of which six involve
sidewalk connections and an overlook bench in the Tigard Triangle.Wayfinding signs are upcoming.
o The Tigard Bike Patrol has been implemented,sending officers on bicycles into the trails to patrol
and ensure safety.
o A community walks program called Tigard Walks was developed solely by a staff member.These
walks are coordinated alongside ongoing events such as the art walk and one around the Downtown
Street Festival.The routes she has coordinated have been plugging into the city's GIS as
recommended walks.We have also asked the citizens and staff for their favorite walks around Tigard.
o The North Dakota street bridge improvements and adding the pedestrian walkway are underway.
• Goal 2: Growing and Planning
o The city submitted a free walk friendly assessment to Walk Friendly Communities and received a ten
page report with eight solid ideas on how to improve Tigard's walkability.They were impressed with
the wayfinding signs,sidewalks completed and planned and the pedestrian access under bridges to
other parts of the community.
o Hired a Safe Routes to School(SRTS) coordinator to build on the framework and improve
connectivity to Tigard schools.
o Walkability expert Jeff Speck visited and spoke about challenges and opportunities in creating a more
walkable city this is accessible to view online.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov 1 Page 2 of 4
• Goal 3: Engaging and Communicating
o The city is trying hard to have a more engaging presence through social media and the website.The
numbers of followers are increasing showing people are coming more to us as a reference and source
of information for Tigard happenings.
o Ice cream socials are held in the neighborhoods and various locations throughout the city where ice
cream is handed out and staff gets the opportunity to receive feedback from community members.
• Goal 4: Financing and Sustaining
o Staff released an interactive app on the website today called Open Budget Portal.This is intended to
get the budget out to the citizens and is a good step in transparency and communicating the budget
in a better way.
o The state has promised$1.5 million to the city for the Hunziker industrial core project.
Mr.Wyatt concluded by stating the city will be represented at a number of events like the Farmer's Market,the
August 16 walking tour of downtown and the September 25 Downtown Fair where community input will be solicited.
The Strategic Plan webpage is updated every Monday to keep people informed of the latest events.
Councilor Henderson asked how the councilors could support the Goal 4 statement of funding the vision while
maintaining core services. He suggested a solution of creating a separate strategic plan budget. He expressed concern
to how extensive the project seems and ensuring other revenue options like grants are pursued to implement the plan.
Mr.Wyatt said support of the Goal 4 is done by approval of the budget by the council and support by the budget
committee. Mr.Wyatt assured the council other funding sources have been pursued and obtained as in the example of
the SRTS program coordinator and the Hunziker industrial core project.Partnerships with other agencies are
currently being established as well.
Mayor Cook thanked staff for the presentation and looked forward to hearing about future progress.
4. UPDATE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Economic Development Manager Purdy presented the staff report highlighting:
• There have been business roundtables held every quarter with the last having the best attendance.The next
will be a tour of Curtis Wright/Williams Controls on October 13 at noon. Curtis Wright/Williams Controls
has a lean manufacturing production system in place which will be beneficial for other manufacturers to see.
The roundtable participants have grown to a wider base of business leaders being able to provide good
information on improving their businesses.
• Staff continues to do work on connections and business recruitments with Business Oregon through the
Grow Oregon program.Every week or two one comes up and Tigard may fit the criteria of half of those.
Twice now a CEO has come to Tigard to look at property.The challenge is having the availability of property
to meet their precise requirements at the exact moment they need it.The CEO of Stow Away 2 has been
accepted into the Grow Oregon program.
• Another adventure in the works is the creation of Tigard's Table which brings food entrepreneurs together.
The entrepreneurs range from Super Fresh Farming Group to Custom Quality Distribution whom distributes
all the Starbucks coffee products for the state. We have an interesting mix in the food chain from producer,
shared kitchen spaces and distributers.
• The latest business visits have been to Sunset Labs who create little boxes inside other devices to test carbon
in the air;Okonite who distribute huge copper coils;Amatek who distributes medical coiling;Coiltron
producer of small copper coils;Charter Mechanical known for the HVAC production systems,channels and
devices companies use to send air,water and chemicals through devices;and Sunbelt-Turret Steel who takes
steel cylinders and chops them up for component pieces.There is a very productive economy in Tigard.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 4
• Roger Machinery and Gerber Legendary Blades are on board with the enterprise zone. Custom Quality
Distribution is looking into making application. In order to qualify,a company has to invest in equipment
and people proving they will increase both by 10 percent,so this is a good deal for the city and community.
Three businesses in the first year is very good.
• $1.5 million has been committed to the city from the state's lottery program for redevelopment on the
Hunziker Industrial Core Area Project.Additional$2.7 million in federal funding will be pursued with an
application submitted to the US Department of Commerce Economic Development Agency in September.
Mayor Cook added the funding will be used on infrastructure development to make the connection from
Tech Center Drive so Wall Street can connect all the way through.
Councilor Woodard asked if there was much interaction with the Chamber of Commerce. Mr.Purdy said the most
common interaction with the Chamber is every Tuesday at the Downtown Tigard Alliance where great input on
downtown revitalization has been received.There is an opportunity to partner with the Chamber and Mercy Corp
NW focusing on business development.Mercy Corp NW approached the city and asked if firms in Tigard would be
interested,so the Chamber Director and Mr.Purdy will sit down to see if there are firms that would benefit from the
Mercy Corp NW Program.
Councilor Woodard asked what the odds were of getting the federal funding for the Hunziker site.Mr.Purdy
answered it is better odds to get the federal funding than getting the state funding because the state was a harder ask.
Mayor Cook thanked Mr. Purdy for his presentation and the council looks forward to hearing updates more
frequently in the future.

Shall the council authorize the city manager to sign an intergovernmental agreement(IGA)with Clean Water
Services (CWS) regarding erosion control services?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends authorizing the IGA.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is requesting this intergovernmental agreement
(IGA) to contract erosion control inspection services with Clean Water Services (CWS). Erosion control
permitting,inspections and enforcement are mandated by CWS and federal and state environmental
regulations and permits. The agreement will free up the time of an engineering technician currently
performing the erosion control inspections to help with the workload for development review and
public facility inspections. This increased workload is primarily from the pace of new development
applications in River Terrace and other areas of the city.
The agreement requires CWS to invoice the city monthly for actual erosion control inspection services
provided. The agreement will take effect with council approval and will renew annually. The agreement can
be terminated prior to February 1 of any year,with termination effective the following July 1. The proposed
agreement has been reviewed and approved by the city attorney. It should also be noted that the City of
Tualatin plans to renew its agreement with CWS for the same services. CWS staff noted that providing these
services to both cities will be more cost-effective than just serving one of the cities.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could propose changes to the agreement or could decide not to approve the agreement. Should
the council decide not to approve the agreement, the city will continue to perform erosion control
inspections,but will continue to struggle with the current workload mentioned previously.
COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS
None
DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
The council was briefed on this agreement at its July 28,2015,study session.
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $50,000-$80,000
Budgeted (yes or no): No
Where Budgeted (department/program): Engr
Additional Fiscal Notes:
The city anticipates annual costs under this IGA to be between$50,000 and$80,000,paid to CWS. In the
past two fiscal years,the city has collected$28,000 and$34,000 in fees to support Tigard staff that
previously provided this service. Tigard is unsure of what the city's costs are to provide the service. The
city will pay only for the services provided by CWS. The IGA is renewed automatically annually, for up to
10 years. The city or CWS can annually elect to terminate the agreement prior to February 1,effective the
following July 1.
The services under this IGA are offset with the city's Erosion Control Inspection Fee. In fiscal year
2014-15,roughly$34,000 in fees were collected. It is anticipated this will increase once River Terrace
development starts in earnest,but so may the costs. The city will conduct a review of the IGA after six
months and will use that opportunity to also assess if the revenue generated is sufficient to cover costs.
Based on the review,staff may propose adjustments to the current fees. Council will be briefed at that time
on the findings.

Executive Summary
Overview of Levy Proposal
This document provides background information for the Washington County Cooperative Library
Services' (WCCLS) replacement levy proposal to the Board of Commissioners on May 12, 2015.The
proposal is for a five-year local option levy to support countywide library services for FY2016-17 through
FY2020-21.The proposed levy would replace the current levy of$0.17 per$1000 of assessed value with
a new rate of$0.22 per$1000 of assessed value.
The current local option levy(passed on 2010) expires June 30, 2016. That levy was passed by voters
with an approval rate of 66%, provides approximately 1/3 of WCCLS funding, and will generate an
estimated net amount of$41.6 million dollars over the five-year term.
The current levy supplements County General Fund support for WCCLS; levy resources provide
approximately 33% of support and General Fund resources provide 66%,with 1%from miscellaneous
sources.About 80%of WCCLS resources are distributed to member libraries to support operations
including open hours, staffing, purchase of materials, and programming to serve all County residents.
The remaining resources fund Central Support and Outreach Services that link member libraries
together. This includes the infrastructure for the shared library catalog, Internet and Wi-Fi access at
member libraries, subscriptions for e-books and research databases, daily Courier deliveries between
libraries, early literacy training and support, and coordinated resources for annual summer reading
programs. WCCLS also provides outreach services for homebound residents, Spanish-speaking residents
and multi-lingual groups, children in care and the Jail library.
The current levy was a maintenance levy. It continued the same rate as the levy approved in 2006, and
the goal was to maintain countywide services. Yet,WCCLS and its member libraries were still able to
implement service improvements in the last few years. Using budget savings and reserves, WCCLS was
able to fund a system wide conversion from barcode tracking of books and other materials to RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification)tracking which reduced staff handling and sped up processing. Funds
were also directed to the purchase of e-books and e-audiobooks in order to address growing patron
demand for new reading formats. Hillsboro expanded its main library on Brookwood Parkway in 2013
and completely remodeled the Shute Park branch in 2014. Banks Public Library expanded in 2012.
Beaverton expanded its Murray Scholls Branch in 2015.
Based on research, analysis and discussions with library stakeholders over the course of the last year,
analysis of voter polling conducted in January 2015, and assessment of the current economic climate,
the WCCLS Executive Board unanimously recommends to the Board of Commissioners that a levy at the
rate of$0.22, an increase of five cents over the current rate, be placed on the November 3, 2015 ballot
to cover the five year period of FY2016-17 through FY2020-21. If passed by voters,this would be the first
increase in countywide library funding approved since 2006. If approved,the levy would cost the
average property owner an additional $14 in the first year. In addition,the WCCLS Executive Board
21
recommends that County Counsel be directed to prepare necessary ballot materials. Board of
Commissioner meeting dates pertaining to formal discussion of this proposal are scheduled for May 19
and June 2, 2015.
The proposal is estimated to levy a total gross amount of$69.2 million with an estimated first-year
amount levied of$12.7 million. (Actual levy amounts collected are estimated at 96% of those totals.) For
a resident owning an average-priced Washington County home (est. $255,000 in FY2016-17),the tax
impact equates to a first-year annual cost of approximately$56 or$4.68 per month. Goals for the
proposed levy are:
• Maintain hours and services at the current 15 libraries and branches, and avoid cuts in service
• Maintain current Central Support and Outreach Services that link libraries together
• Support children's reading programs that average over 280,000 child visits per year including
summer reading programs and literacy programs for preschoolers so more children enter school
ready to learn
• Fund reading and learning supports for children including online homework and tutoring
services designed to improve school success
• Fund the purchase of books and materials that users of all libraries have access to
• Provide operational support for expanded or additional library outlets that are planned during
the levy cycle to better serve county residents(including Aloha, Cornelius, Bethany and
Hillsboro).
The chart below compares the current, expiring levy to the proposed levy. Note that when comparing
the current levy to the proposed levy the estimated amounts include not only the proposed increase in
the levy rate, but also reflected the cumulative effect of annual increases in countywide assessed values
(estimated average increase of 3.75%per year between FY11-12 and FY15-16).
Current Levy Proposed Levy Change
Total est. amount levied (gross) $ 43,728,265 $ 69,208,466 $ 25,480,201
Est. 1st year levy amount(FY11-12 to FY16-17) $ 8,170,451 $ 12,739,019 $ 4,568,568
Cost per$1000/Assessed Value $ 0.17 $ 0.22 $ 0.05
Est. cost per avg home (FY15-16 to FY16-17) $ 41.75 $ 56.19 $ 14.44
Monthly cost per avg home $ 3.48 $ 4.68 $ 1.20
History and Importance of Library Levy
Since the first WCCLS supplemental library levy in FY2007-08, levy funds have been a critical component
in stabilizing and maintaining countywide library services and allowing the WCCLS system to grow and
evolve to meet the literacy, educational, informational and entertainment needs of Washington County.
County funding provides an average of 64%of the operating funds for WCCLS member libraries, and
covers all of the central support and outreach costs. The current levy provides one-third of WCCLS funds
so continued levy funding is essential to maintaining services for the future.
31
This cooperative partnership between the County, nine cities and two non-profit organizations is a
unique and successful model for library service in Oregon. Service decisions are made based on whether
it is more economical or more efficient to provide the service centrally or at the local library level.
Central coordination and funding for shared services allows member libraries to focus on providing high
quality direct patron service.
Use of Washington County's public libraries,as measured by checkouts, outpaced growth in County
population for many years. This was particularly true during the recession when many residents turned
to the library for resume, interview and job-seeking help, using library computers to search and apply
for jobs, using library online tools to prepare for college entrance exams or civil service tests, and as a
source of free family entertainment. In recent years, library use has leveled off, but WCCLS member
libraries continue to serve about 265,000 active, registered patrons who visit their libraries nearly 4
million times per year, checking out nearly 13 million items annually. The public library system plays a
critical role in the early literacy development of our youngest residents. Libraries provide free access to
age-appropriate books and other materials and offer training and programs to help parents and care
providers to incorporate literacy techniques into their daily routines. This means more children enter
school ready to read and ready to learn. Last fiscal year, library-provided programs for children had over
280,000 child visits.
The intent of the proposed levy is to maintain and strategically implement services to meet patron
needs through 2021, by:
• Maintaining patron access to basic library services
• Increasing efficiencies in service delivery
• Increasing e-content access and options
• Improving reading and learning support for children and youth.
These initiatives are described in greater detail later in this report.

Levy Context and Justification
Current Levy Plays Key Role in Financing Countywide Library Services
Where do library dollars come from?
The current levy accounts for 33%of WCCLS revenue,the County's General Fund Transfer accounts for
66%and the remaining 1% is miscellaneous income.The General Fund Transfer represents the vestigial
WCCLS serial levy that was rolled into the County's Permanent Rate in 1998 by the passage of Ballot
Measure 50.The levy rate for WCCLS at that time was$0.36 per$1000 of assessed value,or 16%of the
County's permanent tax rate. Since 1998 the Board of Commissioners has allocated General Fund
resources annually to WCCLS with increases that approximate the annual increases in assessed value.
Levy funds have augmented the General Fund support, beginning with the first local option levy in
FY2007-08, and represent a significant portion of countywide library funding.The General Fund Transfer
in FY2014-15 is$17,186,601, and the levy collections total is$8,669,352.
Current Levy Funding Sources -

.1r) •General Fund Transfer-
66%
•Local Option Levy(incl
delinquent taxes)-33%
Other income- 1%
Where do library dollars go?
As defined by the County's Strategic Plan,WCCLS has three functions. First,WCCLS is the primary
funding source for public library operations. Second, WCCLS provides central support services that link
libraries together and support countywide service, and third, WCCLS provides outreach to special
populations. The operating expenditures for WCCLS are allocated accordingly to public library
operations and Central Support and Outreach. In addition, WCCLS maintains a reserve fund (to cover
expenses between the beginning of the fiscal year and when taxes are collected),and an Information
Systems Reserve Fund.
In FY2014-15, $20,517,883 will be distributed via Inter-Governmental Agreement to 12 library providers
(operating 15 library outlets)to support public library operations.This is 79%of total expenditures. An
51
estimated $5,329,619 will be spent this year for Central Support and Outreach services (Administration,
Automation, Reference/Adult Services, Courier, and Outreach/Youth Services). Approximately$5.5
million is held in reserve.

•WCCLS Administration-3%
WCCLS Automation - 10%

•WCCLS Courier- 2%

Public Library Operations
Public library service for all county residents is provided through a partnership of the County, nine cities
and two non-profit organizations via Inter-Governmental Agreement.They are:
• Banks Public Library
• Beaverton City Library—Main Library
o Beaverton—Murray Scholls Branch
• Cedar Mill Community Library—Main Library
o Cedar Mill -- Bethany Branch
• Cornelius Public Library
• Forest Grove City Library
• Garden Home Community Library
• Hillsboro Public Library—Main Library
o Hillsboro—Shute Park Branch
• North Plains Public Library
• Sherwood Public Library
• Tigard Public Library
• Tualatin Public Library
• West Slope Community Library(the only County operated library outlet)
61
Currently an average of 64%of the annual operating expenditures of these libraries comes from WCCLS.
The remainder is from local support(city or organization support, fund-raising, grants, fines & fees,etc.),
which varies from one library to the next, depending upon local resources and priorities. Capital costs,
such as building bonds related to buying and constructing facilities represent an additional, significant
local investment in libraries and are borne at the local level, not through WCCLS funds.
Member libraries use WCCLS funds for staffing to maintain open hours,the purchase of books and other
materials, providing programming for all ages, and to cover normal operating expenses such as
computer purchases, utilities,janitorial services and facility maintenance. Some use WCCLS funds to
support lease payments.
Central Support and Outreach Services that link libraries together
WCCLS centrally provides services that link libraries together to facilitate countywide sharing of library
resources and to benefit member libraries. These services provide the basic infrastructure for the
cooperative system, and strategically deploy services when it is more efficient or economical to do so
centrally. These include:
• The shared library catalog and the www.wccls.org website (system hardware, software and
telecommunications network for all member libraries, robust Internet access for staff and
public, cataloging and database control, purchase and maintenance of some library security
equipment, 7 day/week staff support)
• Daily Courier deliveries between libraries to fill patron requests and return materials to their
home libraries (nearly 7.2 million items per year)
• Purchase of subscriptions to e-resources including e-books,e-audiobooks, and research
databases that are available to all users through the wccls.org website
• Coordination and support for youth programming including the annual Summer Reading
Program that reaches an estimated 22%of Washington County children, and early literacy
materials,training and outreach to parents and child care providers
• Participation and leadership in the Washington County Early Learning Hub to improve the early
literacy skills of at-risk children to improve reading and school success
• Outreach services to special populations including mail delivery to residents who are
homebound and rotating collections for residential care facilities, outreach to Spanish speaking
residents with a focus on children and families, and collection support for the Jail Inmate Library
• Interlibrary Borrowing agreements to expand access for Washington County residents including
mediated Interlibrary Borrowing from libraries across the country/world, and direct patron
borrowing agreements with four Metro-area library systems (the MIX Agreement), and most
other public and academic libraries in Oregon (Oregon Library Passport Program)
• Central coordination of and strategic planning for countywide services, coordinating the annual
storytelling festival, and procurement of community sponsorships and partnerships (over$1.3
million in sponsorships for advertising and incentives for the Summer Reading Program in 2014)
• Publicity and public education regarding library services through traditional,electronic and
social media outlets.
71
During the current levy cycle WCCLS has had no increase in Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staffing, but we
have reallocated staffing resources to meet changing program needs.
How is library use changing?
Since the passage of the current levy in November 2010, libraries have seen many changes in patron
desired services and evolving options for providing services and information to patrons.
One of the goals of the current levy was to support people who were looking for work. During the
recession, libraries saw increases in library visits and Internet use as residents used free library resources
to search and apply for jobs.This included both skilled and professional workers who were in
employment transitions, as well as unemployed people with limited job skills. At both ends of this
spectrum were people who had not applied for a job for many years, and who had never had to do so
electronically. Library-provided electronic resources, educational programs and training were focused
on helping residents retool resumes and interviewing skills, research educational options to learn new
trades,find scholarships and grants, write business plans, and more. While employment levels have
improved recently,this continues to be an important service for our communities. In addition to job
resources, libraries see increasing numbers of residents who need access to government services and
forms that are now primarily provided via the Internet: tax forms, health insurance and Medicare
information and sign-ups, Social Security, Housing and other services. Balancing public access with
personal privacy is a growing concern.
Libraries have long focused on service to children in order to develop life-long readers, and support for
children's programs is a key goal of the current levy. In addition to providing free access to over 650,000
children's books and other materials,WCCLS member libraries offer over 6,000 programs per year for
children birth through elementary school, in English and other languages. Our member libraries are
uniquely poised to support the literacy development of young residents and to help their parents be
good first teachers. In recent years, state and national attention has focused on the importance of early
literacy for preschoolers as a way to prepare children to enter school ready to read and ready to learn.
Along with school districts and other agencies, WCCLS has been an integral player in local planning to
improve coordination and deployment of early literacy training and outreach targeting the highest-need
children and families in our communities. In 2015 WCCLS is initiating a program to deliver reading
materials and provide training for home-based child care providers to increase early literacy exposure
for children in care. This program focuses on high-need areas, and these services will be offered in both
English and Spanish.This is an opportunity to extend service outside library buildings and to share our
expertise with community partners.
Oregon educational funding changes over the last decade have led to the elimination of most school-
based librarians in Washington County school districts, as funds have been redirected to classroom-only
activities.This creates a dilemma for public libraries as we want to continue to support the educational
needs of our school children, but we cannot replace the full benefit of in-school library instruction and
curriculum-specific collections. Recent efforts by WCCLS member libraries have been directed to
working with school district administrations to brainstorm ways that public libraries and schools can
work together to address this issue.
81
Use of traditional library collections of print and media resources has leveled off in recent years.
Comparisons between 2011 and 2014 show that total circulation of print materials remains about the
same,while circulation of music CD's has declined 41%, and circulation of DVD's has declined 17%. In
contrast, circulation of e-books and e-audiobooks has increased 189%. In addition to e-book downloads,
libraries are circulating pre-loaded e-book readers to patrons who do not have their own devices.
WCCLS has offered downloadable e-books since 2010 and in September 2014 added a second e-book
vendor option through the wccls.org website. In the last two fiscal years member libraries have directed
funds to increase the central purchase of e-books in response to such tremendous patron demand. E-
books can be downloaded to e-readers,tablets, laptops, and even smart phones. We expect that this
mobile trend will continue to grow in the coming years, and we plan to increase and expand e-resources
in the coming years.
Library collections are also diversifying in terms of language to better meet the needs of the increasingly
diverse population in Washington County.WCCLS and member libraries have invested especially in
Spanish language materials, staffing and programming for children and adults, all to serve the Latino
community. WCCLS provided funding for two librarians to attend a large international book exposition
in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2014 to purchase Spanish language books on behalf of member libraries.
While member libraries have always offered weekly programs for children (babies,toddlers,
preschoolers and school-aged children),they continue to increase the number of programs offered for
teens and adults.The WCCLS Long Range Plan describes the public library as the community's front
porch—a place where people meet,welcome each other, share stories and information,or spend time
together in a relaxed,welcoming environment. As such, programs for adults run the gamut from town
hall meetings to book talks to music performances to hobby and craft sessions. Hillsboro Public Library
has taken this one step further and offers a collection of cake pans for checkout and provides weekly
times for the public to print their designs using 3-D printers. Cedar Mill Library circulates media-
recording kits and offers workshops on how to program Finch robots.Support for the creative process
through maker spaces and resources will continue to grow. In addition to needing adequate space for
programming, libraries have seen growth in the use of library spaces for group meetings or study
sessions,for tutors to work with students in a safe public space,and for entrepreneurs who use library
resources to support their business development.
WCCLS has expanded its use of social media since we first began using Facebook to connect with
patrons in 2009. We maintain both English and Spanish Facebook accounts and use Twitter, Pinterest,
SoundCloud and YouTube at this time. Member libraries also connect with patrons through social media
accounts of their own. In 2013 WCCLS initiated Library Snapshots,an email newsletter that is sent
quarterly to over 140,000 patrons. Our use and integration of new media options will continue to grow
as we look for innovative ways to share information with patrons and develop online reading
communities,either as external communities, or as an extension of services integrated into WCCLS
resources such as reading recommendations and book reviews embedded in the catalog.

The 2015 Proposed Levy: How will funds be used?
The proposed levy will focus on maintaining core library services and strategically implementing services
to meet patron needs through 2021.The WCCLS Executive Board is proposing a five-year, fixed rate levy
of$0.22 per$1000 of Assessed Value to replace the current$0.17 levy.The proposal includes the
following assumptions:
Resources:
• Estimated $69,208,466 to be levied over the term (estimated $65,941,120 to be collected)
• Estimated 96%tax collection rate
• Estimated 4%to 4.25%annual increases in countywide Assessed Value
• Assumes annual increases in transfers from the County General Fund will continue to mirror
increases in Assessed Value
• Maintain a fund balance (contingency) of 10-15%of annual expenditures, including an
Information Systems Replacement Fund
Expenditures:
• On an annual basis, WCCLS Executive Board will review anticipated resources and recommend
appropriate expenditure levels for the annual budget process including Central Support and
Outreach services and funds to be distributed to public library providers.
• Funds for public library operations will be distributed as outlined in the Public Library Services
Agreement which will be revised and updated after the November 2015 election to take effect
July 1, 2016, at the beginning of the new levy cycle.
• On an annual basis, expenditures will not typically exceed revenues in order to maintain
adequate reserves; there will be flexibility on an annual basis to adjust for specific needs and
changes.
Planning for the proposed levy began in 2013.The WCCLS Policy Group (library directors) explored
changes necessary to support countywide library services through the levy term and folded them into
four priority areas.These were presented to the Executive Board and included in the levy proposal.
• Maintain patron access to core library services:
o Maintain hours and services at the current 15 member libraries and branches—assure
adequate funding to provide consistent and essential core services at all libraries and
avoid cuts in service, including maintaining open hours, purchasing books and materials
for our diverse population, providing programming for all ages, and responding to
changing technology.
o Plan for operating funds for known library additions or expansions during the term of
the levy—this includes the addition of the Aloha Community Library as a new member,
expanded replacement facilities in Cornelius and Bethany, and two possible new library
outlets in Hillsboro.
o Maintaining Central Support and Outreach programs that link libraries together and
provide necessary infrastructure for the Cooperative. This includes an additional 1.0 FTE
10 I
in the Automation program to address network and IT support for member libraries
budgeted in FY18-19.
• Increase efficiencies in service delivery:
o Develop a program to centrally purchase and process high-demand popular adult fiction
titles for member libraries to streamline the acquisition process, reduce redundant
processes and staff handling of materials,and ultimately get materials to patrons faster.
o Expand or relocate the Courier warehouse space to accommodate a modest amount of
remote storage for member libraries, and purchase and implement Automated
Materials Handling(AMH)technology for Courier sorting(add approximately 10,000 sq.
ft.total). This will allow libraries to allocate more space for people and programs and
retain access to materials that would otherwise be withdrawn due to a lack of space;
Courier staff will be able to sort materials with AMH and potentially relieve some tasks
currently performed at local libraries.
• Increase e-content access and options:
o Plan adequate funds to purchase e-books and e-audiobooks to meet patron demand to
reduce wait times for downloadable titles and provide broader and deeper collection
options to mirror traditional collections.This includes an additional 1.0 FTE in the
Reference/Adult Services program to manage the development of electronic collections,
budgeted in FY16-17.
o Plan for emerging e-content options such as streaming media,and e-magazines to
provide patrons with multi-media content on mobile platforms. We must be able to
respond more nimbly as the marketplace evolves and provide adequate training for
library staff to support patron adoption of new services.
• Improve reading and learning supports for children and youth:
o Add online tutoring services for school-aged children to improve student access to
homework support and library resources. Improve access to public library materials by
schools,teachers and students to increase educational outcomes. This includes an
additional 1.0 FTE in Youth Services Outreach to develop stronger connections with
schools and districts budgeted in FY17-18.
o Expand literacy training--provide state certified basic and advanced early literacy
training for child care providers, parents and library staff so that more children in care
have access to reading materials and activities at child care sites and libraries, and more
children will enter kindergarten ready to read and ready to learn.
o Expand training about technology and use by young children—provide training for
parents so they are better informed about using technology with/by young children and
assure that library staff are adequately skilled to answer questions related to technology
and young children.

Key Levy Elements and Assumptions
Levy Development and Assumptions
As can be seen in the following tables, a number of factors are taken into consideration as the local
option levy proposal was developed.The goal is to provide long-term financial sustainability, provide
flexibility to respond to fiscal and programmatic changes, and sustain high-quality public library services
for all county residents. WCCLS follows assumptions for Assessed Value, annual value increases,tax
collection rates, delinquent taxes, interest rates, etc. as directed by Washington County Finance and as
used for the General Fund and other County levy projections.
• The ending fund balance for WCCLS as of the end of FY2015-16(the end of the expiring levy) is
used to estimate the beginning fund balance for the new levy cycle; an estimated $5.2 million.
• An estimate of taxes to be generated by the new local option levy ($0.17 cent current levy+
$0.05 cent additional) are calculated based on annual increases in Assessed Value of 4% in
FY2016-17 and FY2017-18, and the 4.25%thereafter with an estimated first year tax collection
rate of 96%.
• Delinquent tax collections are estimated at 1%of the current property taxes collected; interest
earnings are estimated at 1%of General Fund Transfer and current property taxes collected in
FY2016-17, and then at 1.25%annually thereafter.
• General Fund Transfers are estimated to increase 4% in FY2016-17 and FY2017-18, and 4.25%
annually thereafter, mirroring estimated increases in Assessed Value.
• Departmental revenue is projected to increase 2%annually and is used for program-related
projects.
• The Public Library Funding Pool for current member libraries will be adjusted approximately
9.7%from FY2015-16 to FY2016-17, and then will increase 3%annually thereafter, assuming
that County Assessed Value(and therefore WCCLS revenue) increases at least 3%. The first-year
adjustment is designed to address three things: an annual increase of 3%for the first year of the
new levy cycle, a recovery of lost buying power during the current levy cycle when annual
increases averaged 2.49% (at least 0.5% below County-calculated cost of living increases) and to
provide a one-time adjustment in recognition of service changes that occurred during the
current levy cycle in order to support maintenance of services in the new levy cycle.
• If County Assessed Value increases more than 3%,the additional funds will go into a second pool
to be used to support operations of new or expanded public libraries as they come online, and
to serve as a flexible fund for projects and services that evolve over the course of the levy cycle.
• Central Support and Outreach funding includes 3%annual increases in costs for maintenance of
current services, plus increased funds associated with the addition of service enhancements
recommended for inclusion in this levy cycle.

Executive Summary
Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide the Board with information to begin to renew the Public Safety Local Option
Levy for the five year period of FY 2016-17 through FY 2020-21.
The current Public Safety Levy (Measure 34-179)was approved by the Washington County Board of Commissioners in May
of 2010. The measure was subsequently authorized by voters in November of 2010 with 67% voting "Yes." It contains a
fixed five-year property tax levy rate of$.42 cents per $1,000 of assessed value that was estimated to generate a total of
$109.1 million over the five-year period from fiscal year 2011-12 through FY 2015-16 including an estimated first-year levy
of approximately $20.4 million. For a Washington County resident owning an average-priced home ($214,362 in 2011-12),
Measure 34-179 had a first-year estimated yearly cost of about$90.03 or$7.50 per month.
The current levy has been providing funding for 133 public safety and justice positions (132 positions for FY 2011-12 and FY
2012-13 and one(1)additional position added in FY 2013-14).These positions represent approximately 16%of the County's
total criminal justice system workforce in FY 2014-15. On the revenue side, the current levy represents about 14% of the
County's total criminal justice system funding for FY 2014-15.
The current levy will expire on June 30, 2016. Accordingly, I am recommending that the Board establish November 3, 2015,
as the election date to renew the five year levy for the FY 2016-17 through FY 2020-21 time period. It is also my
recommendation that the new levy maintain the current tax rate of $.42 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and that
County Counsel be directed to prepare the necessary ballot title. Additionally, Board meeting dates pertaining to formal
consideration of this proposal are scheduled for May 19th and June 2nd of 2015.
In summary, the proposed levy is estimated to total $135.5 million with an estimated first-year levy amount of $24.2
million. It provides funding to increase staffing to 152 positions and maintain public safety service levels. For a resident
owning an average-priced Washington County home ($255,408 estimated for 2016-17), this tax impact equates to a first-
year annual cost of approximately$107.27 or$8.94 per month (see following chart).
Proposed Levy
Total 5 year estimated levy amount $135,484,730
Estimated 1st year levy amount $24,236,502
Cost per 1,000/AV $0.42
Estimated 1st year cost per average home $107.27
Monthly cost per average home $8.94
By way of comparison,the chart below compares the current(expiring) levy to the proposed levy.

Current Levy Proposed Levy Change
Total estimated levy amount $109,140,255 $135,484,730 $26,344,475
Estimated 1st year levy amount $20,352,625 $24,236,502 $3,883,877
Cost per 1,000/AV $0.42 $0.42 $0.00
Estimated 1st year cost per average home $90.34 $107.27 $16.93
Monthly cost per average home $7.53 $8.94 $1.41
An overview of the annual resource versus annual expenditure relationship is provided below. The estimated dollar
amounts generated by the fixed tax rate for both levy periods are highlighted on the pink line and reflect annual levy
increases averaging about 4% per year over both levy periods. Expenditures for both levy periods are reflected on the blue
line which displays average annual increases of about 3.1% over the ten years spanning both levy periods. In short, the
current tax rate of $.42 cents per $1,000 of assessed value will accommodate the maintenance of existing and new staff
and service levels through FY 2020-21 if all assumptions used to calculate revenues and expenditures materialize as

History and Importance of Levy Renewal
Since the first Public Safety Levy in FY 2001-02, the levy has made a critical contribution to the restoration of criminal
justice system service levels that had eroded significantly prior to the levy's initial passage in 20001. In simple terms, the
levy provides vital and basic justice-system-capacity that would otherwise be sorely missed if not funded. These services
provide substantial community benefits with prime examples that include: special multi-agency enforcement teams;
combating the ongoing gang problem; timely prosecution of criminals and resolution of cases for victims; maintenance of
effective juvenile prevention programs; keeping dangerous offenders incarcerated; and supervising and treating those
offenders when placed on probation or parole.
1 The Public Safety Local Option Levy has experienced four distinct funding phases: 1) Public Safety Levy I was approved by
voters for the FY 2001-02 through 2005-06 time period; 2) due to failure of a renewal measure in 2004,there was no levy
funding for FY 2006-07 and programs were maintained by an interim "bridge plan"supported by public safety expenditure
reductions, levy fund reserves,temporary loans and County General Fund savings from reductions in General Fund public
safety programs; 3) Levy II was authorized by voters for FY 2007-08 through 2010-11; and 4) Levy III was approved for the
FY 2011-12 through 2015-16 time period.
5IPagc
The current levy is a significant contributor of financial support to the County's two-tiered role as both a partner law
enforcement agency among our cities and, as mandated provider of basic justice system services not provided by cities
(inmate incarceration, criminal prosecution, probation and post-prison supervision,juvenile supervision, etc.). These basic
justice system services provide for essential "criminal justice system infrastructure" that operates as an adjunct to all city
and County law enforcement efforts. A strong County criminal justice system infrastructure provides the credibility for the
system's capacity to follow-through with offenders long after the initial law enforcement arrest is made. Specifically, it is
the availability of incarceration space when needed; timely and effective prosecution; and, effective post-incarceration
supervision and treatment (probation/parole) that bolsters the overall effectiveness of a well-functioning criminal justice
system. In FY 2014-15,the levy supports approximately 16%of the County's total criminal justice system workforce.
Levy-supported County justice services, as mentioned above, are relied upon heavily by city and County law enforcement
agencies and contribute significantly to the maintenance of balance in the delivery of justice system programs. For
example, an increase in the number of frontline officers in cities and the County without corresponding capacity for
incarceration, prosecution and post-jail/prison supervision would create an imbalance in the system that ultimately leads to
more crimes and arrests if follow-up capacity is not adequate.
There has been no let-up in the demands placed on the justice system by growth in County population, by increases in law
enforcement assets deployed by law enforcement agencies, and by unfunded mandates from our federal and state
partners (i.e., Prison Rape Elimination Act policies from the federal government, or the state transferring administration of
child support administration to Washington County).
Accordingly, the intent of this effort is to seek renewal of the funding necessary to continue these important service levels
that were established by the current levy, and to preserve the attendant level of justice system capacity made possible by
existing levy funds. It is essentially a status-quo proposal.

Levy Plays a Key Role in Financing Justice System Services
Where Do Overall Justice System Program Dollars Go?
In fiscal year 2014-15, the total operating budget for County-provided criminal justice programs and services totals

Where Do Justice System Dollars Come From?
Funding for Washington County's justice-system programs and services is supported by the following financing sources. In
the overall scheme of public safety and justice financing in Washington County, approximately fourteen cents of every
dollar spent on programs and services come from the current levy.
The County General Fund is primarily comprised of property taxes and other discretionary revenues that are generally
targeted at programs providing countywide benefits. Funding for the Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District is dedicated to
enhancement of patrol capacity in the county's urban unincorporated area. State funding mainly provides support for
juvenile prevention programs and community corrections (parole and probation supervision). As can be seen below, the
current levy provides a significant and important level of support for justice programs in the county.

Specific Levy Program Benefits
Significant portions of the current and proposed levies are for service restoration across several vital programs—many of
which are of benefit to both our cities and urban unincorporated areas. Levy funding is included for the following programs
and services:
Sheriff's Office-Jail
• Maintains jail at full capacity for holding dangerous offenders in 572 County jail beds by funding the operating expenses
for one (1) 56-bed pod (10% of total jail bed space). The jail receives and processes offenders from every police
jurisdiction in Washington County.
• Provides jail prisoner transport services to the County's city police departments which allows city police agencies to
operate more efficiently.
10IPagc
• Maintains present capacity for civil enforcement—the serving of legal court orders and warrants countywide that assist
victims of domestic violence,apprehends criminals at-large and enhances child support orders.
Sheriff's Office-Law Enforcement Services
• Maintains levels of sworn officer and civilian support to investigations, scientific evidence gathering and records
services that makes for more efficient use of existing investigative and patrol officer resources. Many of our municipal
police jurisdictions work cooperatively with the County's investigations and records service areas on joint investigations
and crime intervention efforts.To this end,the proposed levy will maintain availability of resources to our city partners
for county-wide law enforcement services(i.e.gang team, mental health response team, drug team, etc.).
• Retain base County patrol and investigations at .54 officers per 1,000 residents (close to the historic service level that
has been in place since 1986).
District Attorney, Corrections and Juvenile Services
• In the District Attorney's Office, the levy supports the prosecution of criminals by maintaining current caseload sizes
and service levels in the Criminal Prosecution, Child Support Enforcement and Victim Assistance programs. These
programs receive and process cases referred from every police jurisdiction in Washington County.
• For Community Corrections, the levy includes funding for supervising offenders on Probation/Parole caseloads and
maintains the Community Corrections Center at full capacity (215 beds) by providing for the operating costs of 24 beds
(11% of total center bed space). As with the District Attorney's Office, the original source of the cases for Community
Corrections is all Washington County and city law enforcement-referring agencies.
• In the Juvenile Department, levy funds are earmarked for supervision of juvenile offenders by maintaining prevention
programs, critical counselor (probation and prevention) caseloads and juvenile incarceration and close supervision
capacity. Cases are referred to the Juvenile Department from countywide sources.
Other Service Areas: 911 Center Equipment, Emergency Housing and Court Facilities
• Current and proposed levy funds are provided for information technology building component upgrades and
modernization of certain pieces of the countywide emergency communications system (911) used by all police, fire and
medical agencies in the County.
• Funding is also included to continue the public safety initiative supporting the County's emergency shelter services. This
includes the Domestic Violence Resource Center, Community Action and Good Neighbor Center emergency shelter
facilities, the Family Promise of Washington County (support services for emergency shelter clients), and, through
Juvenile Services grant funding,the Boys&Girls Aid Society Safe Place for juveniles.
The County's Dual Justice System Role
The local criminal justice system in Washington County is an integrated system of services comprised of city, state and
County criminal justice agencies. This network includes a wide array of prevention programs that strive to keep problems
from progressing through the system.
11l1) age
However, more serious problems begin when an arrest and/or a call for service at the 911 center is forwarded to the
appropriate law enforcement agency. From this point, offenders may face a pre-trial stay in the County Jail or be released
pending court action, then prosecution through the courts and the District Attorney's Office, receive further disposition in
the form of either a prison or local jail sentence or probation, and then finally, post-incarceration supervision by the
Community Corrections Department. A separate County-juvenile justice system closely parallels the adult system
components as described above.
Within this justice system network, each agency fulfills a variety of unique inter-related (and inter-dependent) roles. For its
part in the system,the County plays a dual role:
1. Provider of a network of justice system infrastructure services to support and follow-through on the efforts of all
law enforcement agencies
2. Law enforcement services
Accordingly,the County is legally and fiscally responsible for a significant portion of the network's overall array of programs
and services that are utilized by all police agencies in the county.These two roles are explained in more detail below.
1) In its primary role, the county delivers a balanced countywide network of justice system services. Examples of the key
services in this network include:
- A 572-bed jail (administered by the Sheriff's Office)
- A 215-bed Community Corrections Center(Community Corrections)
- Court facilities/services(County Support Services and the Sheriff's Office)
- Criminal prosecution (District Attorney)
- Probation and post-prison supervision of offenders(Community Corrections)
- Juvenile court services--including incarceration (Juvenile Department)
- Emergency management (911 Center, Emergency Medical Services and Sheriff's Office)
- Civil enforcement (Sheriff's Office)
- Child support enforcement(District Attorney)
- Victim assistance programs(all departments),and
- A myriad of prevention services provided across a wide spectrum of programs
In short, upon arrest by either a city or County officer,a suspected offender's journey through this integrated justice system
has merely begun—with a significant portion of the service and financial responsibility for services resting squarely on the
shoulders of County government(see"maintaining balance" on following pages).
2) In its second major role, the Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement services. These services represent "traditional"
county-law-enforcement service levels not unlike the historic and typical County service levels provided by most
counties across the nation. These services provide downstream benefits for city residents who travel outside their city
limits, and serve as a buffer to criminal activity when crimes are committed across jurisdictional boundaries. Benefits
are also provided to cities when municipal police departments require mutual aid assistance and when requiring
specialized assistance with forensics, special weapons and tactics (SWAT Teams), K-9 teams, integrated drug
enforcement efforts,gang enforcement, and other specialty services.
12IPagc
The traditional service level for countywide law enforcement services has been approximately .54 officers-per-1,000
residents of the unincorporated area—a level well below most city police departments in the County. 2
Maintenance of Justice System Balance
During the planning discussion for the original public safety levy (in 2000), significant emphasis was placed on the
countywide network of justice system services as "an integrated system of programs and services." This perspective of the
justice system is a view that highlights the importance of inter-relationships in the system and how changes in the system
can affect the balance of the system's remaining components. For example, it may not make sense to deploy additional
officers (who make more arrests and bring more offenders into the system) if the remaining components of the system
cannot process them effectively (by housing them in jail, conducting prosecutions, supervising offenders after sentences
are served,etc.).
Funding changes, growth or other impacts experienced anywhere along this service continuum can create profound
"ripple-effects" upon other components in the system and profoundly alter its balance. These changes can include
increases in population growth (which means more demand for services); changes in the deployment of resources made by
individual agencies or by shifts in major funding sources such as the County General Fund; and by current shifts in state
funding levels or other funding-source changes.
As stated earlier, examples of such changes might include our city or County police agencies adding new officers and/or
increasing their efforts to arrest and detain criminals. If this happens, the County could experience significant increases in
demand for services from the courts, the jail, the DA's Office, or our juvenile and corrections programs. Other examples
include the advent of voter-imposed or state mandates such as the mandatory minimum sentencing requirements of
Measure 11 or by legislative mandates such as Senate Bill 1145 and House Bill 3194 that give the County significant
responsibilities for incarcerating prisoners formerly held in state institutions.
Given the significance of levy funding on the systems balance, loss of existing levy funds could pose significant challenges
for the County's overall efforts to maintain a semblance of balance in all of the justice systems major components. (See the
following sections for more specifics regarding growth and funding-related impacts.)
In Washington County, justice system stakeholders (who share responsibility, authority and resources) for various system
components, meet regularly to discuss issues of coordination and balance in the integrated system. On a broad level, the
Public Safety Coordinating Council (PSCC) has addressed systems coordination as mandated by Oregon Revised Statutes
since 1995. The principal charge of the PSCC is to review and coordinate policy related to the Community Corrections and
Juvenile Prevention Plans. At the administrative level, the County's justice department managers meet on a monthly basis
to discuss systems issues that are specific to intra-County justice matters. In general, overall planning and review of the
County's criminal justice system coordination has been steadily evolving to a more coordinated/collaborative system.
Growth Impacts on the Justice System
2 The Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District provides an additional .54 officers/1,000 for the urban unincorporated area via a
special tax rate and local option levy (paid for by urban unincorporated residents only)for this "municipal" level of service.
Funds/expenditures for this additional service level are not included in the countywide service level identified above since it
is not a countywide service and is only available in the urban unincorporated area.
13IPage
Since 1990, growth in county population and growth in police agency assets have been significant and have placed
increased demands on the County's justice system programs and services. For example:
• Increases in the numbers of offenders entering the system mean more demand on jail and corrections center space,
criminal prosecution, juvenile programs and other core services.
• Significant increases in jail and corrections center population mean significant increases in cost for maintaining and
operating those facilities and ultimately, increased demand to build more incarceration space.
• Increases in courts/judges mean increases in costs for building and maintaining court facilities.
• Increases in the numbers of offenders being processed through the system mean also that offenders on their way out
of incarceration programs will require increased supervision services from parole and probation and other service
programs.
As with most states, the legal and fiscal responsibility for a significant portion of this continuum rests squarely on the
shoulders of County government despite the fact that these core services are provided to offenders referred from cities and
returning from state prisons as well. Accordingly, efforts made by the County to maintain the integrity of the criminal
justice system are therefore in the best interests of all County residents—those who live inside cities as well as those who
reside in the urban and rural unincorporated areas. The benefits of maintaining or improving the criminal justice system
cannot be viewed as strictly a city-only or a county-only benefit.

Approach to Levy Development & Assumptions
As can be seen in the previous budget summary and on the following table of key levy development assumptions, a number
of factors are taken into account as the local option levy is developed:
• The estimated beginning balance for the new levy is calculated based on the estimated ending balance for all levy
programs as of the end of fiscal year (FY) 2015-16 (the last year of the expiring levy). The estimated beginning fund
balance for the new levy period (FY 2016-17 to FY 2020-21) of approximately $12 million dollars is the result of slightly
higher than anticipated tax revenues, reserve (contingency)funds not being utilized and cautious spending patterns on
the part of the County's public safety and justice program managers during the current levy period (FY 2011-12 to FY
2015-16).
• An estimate of taxes to be generated by the new local option levy takes into account modest growth following the
recent upturn in the U.S. economy. Using a conservative approach, the overall average property tax rate increases will
be assumed to be in the 4.0%to 4.25% range for the proposed levy.
• Determinations are then made of the approximate delinquent tax collections that are due from previous tax years
which are based on historic proportional relationships between taxes collected on time, and taxes that are paid on a
delinquent basis.
15 I I'a c
• An estimate of annual interest earnings on the levy fund balance is obtained based upon an estimate of the levy fund's
average monthly balance for the new levy period (FY 2016-17 to FY 2020-21). As with the tax revenue assumptions
outlined above, interest rate earnings assumed for the proposed levy are slightly higher than the current levy due to
economic conditions.
• In other areas, budget estimates have been developed for levy programs for the next five years using the assumptions
highlighted on the following table. A key assumption is that each year's budget is expected to be expended at the 95%
level. This means that each year's budget is calculated based on the cost increase assumptions listed on the following
table (that is applied to the prior year's budget) and is then assumed to be under-spent by 5% each year. These
approaches are being taken in order to: provide long-term financial sustainability for levy programs; meet month-to-
month cash-flow requirements; and provide flexibility in the event of unforeseen fiscal challenges and uncertainties.
(See related issues in the juvenile budget section.)
• Finally, once all fund balance and revenue/expenditure assumptions are calculated over the life of the levy, the
sustainability of the current tax rate is evaluated/entered and estimated taxpayer impacts for the proposed levy is
calculated using estimated assessed values and an average-priced county residence.

Proposed Permanent Position Information
Calculation of Employee Benefits
The preceding table included information pertaining to the benefit's calculation assumptions for the permanent positions
included in the proposed levy. These positions were authorized in the current levy and are included for continued funding
in the proposed levy. More details regarding staffing and specific positions are included in the "Budget Summaries" section
of this report.
Salary levels for each permanent position are derived from the County's fiscal 2014-15 pay plans and are inflated by a cost
of living adjustment (COLA) calculation base on consumer price index (CPI) for each ensuing fiscal year. Assumptions used
in the calculation of benefits for these positions are included in the table presented previously. In some cases, percentages
are used and these are the factors that are applied to each position's annual salary to obtain the respective annual cost for
each benefit area. In other cases, dollar amounts (premiums)are used and are added to the total benefits package. A listing
of the actual permanent positions by program area is included on the following page.

Overview
The Local Option Levy Administration organization unit (234-1690) is the central fiscal entity for all levy proceeds derived
from the public safety local option levy and is comprised of four service programs: Levy Administration (taxes, debt service,
contingency and other capital expenditures); Emergency Housing; 911 Center Equipment, and Public Outreach Services.
Beyond this summary on the following pages are descriptions of each of the surrogate programs of the Levy Administration
budget.
Levy Administration(Tax Revenue, Interest Earnings and Contingency)
This program contains all levy resources that are derived from the public safety levy to fund levy programs described in the
previous sections of this report.These resources include current and delinquent tax revenues and interest earnings.
Emergency Shelter Services
This program provides funding for four(4) emergency shelter/services programs. This public-private partnership continues
a County public safety initiative that began as part of the original levy. The program funds emergency shelters that help
women and children who are victims of domestic violence and helps move homeless families off the streets and prepare
them for self-sufficiency. The four private non-profit emergency programs are: the Domestic Violence Resource Center
(DVRC), Community Action,the Good Neighbor Center and Family Promise of Washington County. Proposed funding levels
are based on the same levels as the current levy and are increased by the same factors used in the calculation of budgets
for the regular levy operating programs.

Sheriffs Office
Overview
The Sheriff's Office portion of the levy is comprised of levy budgets covering three main areas: 1) Sheriff's Office
Administration (234-4010);2)Countywide Law Enforcement (234-4020);and 3)the County Jail (234-4030).
Consistent with other levy-funded public safety programs, the Sheriff's Office levy funds are used to supplement existing
programs already funded by the County's General Fund. In this report, these General Fund programs are commonly
referred to as "base-level" programs.

The Sheriff's Office Jail budget contains levy funds earmarked for the operation of one jail pod (56 beds) in the Washington
County Jail. The jail provides a 572-bed facility with booking and incarceration services for all law enforcement agencies in
the county. It provides medium and maximum security housing for individuals awaiting trial and those sentenced by state
courts to periods of incarceration up to one year. Additionally,the jail provides transport services to other facilities and to
the courts.This budget unit includes the following service program:Sheriff's Office-Jail (Pod 9)
The prisoner transport service directly supports city police departments when prisoner transports are required. This allows
city officers to return to normal duties rather than spend precious time transporting prisoners to and from the County Jail.
The proposed levy continues the additional resources added to the current levy to provide expanded coverage and
availability of this service to our city police agencies countywide.
The Corporal-Court Release Officer is a new position for the levy focusing on the Jail Pre-trial Release Program. This
program is designed to evaluate individuals that are in custody to determine if they would be eligible for release from jail
prior to their trial, but still be under jail supervision through electronic monitoring. The intent of this program is to reduce
jail over-crowding and forced releases.

ISSUE
Shall the City of Tigard allow the early sale of limited quantities of recreational marijuana sales in medical
marijuana dispensaries beginning October 1,2015,as permitted by state law? If the City Council prefers to ban
the early sale of recreational marijuana,action would be needed at the August 25,2015 meeting. If early sale is
allowed,no action by the City Council is needed.
Council will also be asked at a future meeting in September,2015,to discuss and decide whether,and how,to
amend the City's currently enacted marijuana taxes to align with state law and refer any marijuana tax to voters
in November,2016.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION /ACTION REQUEST
Allow early sale of limited quantities of marijuana in medical marijuana dispensaries. Continue discussion
about the approach to marijuana taxation in September,2015.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Issue 1: Early Sales. The State has authorized medical marijuana dispensaries to sell limited marijuana retail
product to persons at least 21 years of age in accordance with certain conditions beginning October 1,2015.
Under SB 460,medical dispensaries will be able to sell the following:
•One quarter of one ounce(1/4 oz.) of dried marijuana leaves and flowers per person per day;
•Four (4) marijuana plants that are not flowering;and
•Marijuana seeds.
The rationale for allowing early sales is "to provide recreational customers a legal option for purchasing
product while the ground rules for legal recreational sales are developed,thus avoiding sales in an unregulated
manner to recreational customers." (League of Oregon Cities) Early sales would begin October 1,2015 and
would end on December 31,2016. If the Council takes no action to ban early sales,medical marijuana
dispensaries may proceed with early sales. It is unlikely that the City will be able to impose and collect a tax on
early sales.The League of Oregon Cities noted a distinction between prohibiting the establishment of
marijuana businesses and prohibiting early sales,indicating that cities prohibiting early sales should"remain
eligible to receive state marijuana tax revenues" even though cities are prohibited from collecting a local tax on
early sales.
Issue 2: Marijuana Taxation.The City Council will be briefed about the city's authority and options for
marijuana taxation at a September,2015 meeting. Essentially,City Council will need to decide whether to
align current tax rates with state legislation,or continue to impose and collect taxes per Tigard Municipal Code.
Tigard has previously enacted:
i.10%Tax on Recreational Marijuana;
ii.5%Tax on Medical Marijuana;and
iii.Annual Privilege Taxes.
Before its September consideration of this issue,City Council will receive an advisory memo from the City
Attorney about taxation options under the recently enacted state law,HB 3400. It is likely that the City is
pre-empted by state legislation in HB 3400 from levying the city's 10% tax on recreational marijuana.There is
ambiguity regarding the imposition of the city's 5% tax on medical marijuana.The city's $1,000 privilege tax on
selling outside city limits is pre-empted by state legislation,and the city's $500 privilege tax on consumption is
likely not pre-empted by state legislation.The City Council will need to consider any changes to taxation at a
future meeting.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Council could elect to ban the early retail sales of limited marijuana items. Council could adopt an
ordinance to ban early sales without referring it to the voters.An ordinance would need to be approved by
August 31 to take effect by October 1,2015 and prohibit early sales. Electing to ban early sales is not
anticipated to have an effect on the City's ability to collect future taxes on the sale of marijuana, and would
not affect already enacted land use and zoning regulations.
The purpose of this briefing is to highlight the upcoming decisions that will be presented for Council
consideration. No decision about taxation alternatives are proposed for this briefing.

street connectivity inside the Triangle,parks,open space,trails,pedestrian oriented streets,and zoning for a
mix of uses at various densities. An open house was held in September 2014 to present the plan. Over 100
people participated on-line or in-person. The plan was generally well received. Comments included:
•concerns about increased traffic
•trails and walking connections are great
•too urban in a suburban area
•a mix of affordable housing options is needed
The final plan was also reviewed by the Triangle citizen (CAC) and technical(TAC) advisory committees at
their meetings in September and December. Advisory committee discussions mainly focused on code
regulations and how the plan would be implemented. A set of recommended implementation strategies was
outlined in the plan document that include regulatory actions,infrastructure investments and
incentives/public-private partnerships. The next step is to put regulatory actions in place,such as the
adoption of zoning,development of Triangle code regulations,and updates to previously adopted plans such
as the Transportation System Plan,Parks Master Plan,and Comprehensive Plan.
Implementation-Regulatory Actions
The city has engaged PlaceMakers,a planning and design firm to help complete the next step of finalizing the
zoning and preparing the code regulations.PlaceMakers was chosen because they specialize in the creation of
form-based codes. Form-based codes tend to be more clear and objective than traditional codes,as well as
easier to administer because they are less complex. A form-based code is right for the Triangle because it
works particularly well with mixed use development within an area that is in the process of redevelopment and
it will better facilitate the creation of a vibrant,walkable,urban area. Form based codes focus primarily on the
relationship between the street and site,how buildings relate to one another,and the street scale and design;
whereas traditional zoning codes focus on regulating uses. This type of code will allow flexibility for the
applicant while ensuring essential elements needed for a walkable environment are included in the design.
In addition to being form-based,the regulations will be lean.The use of this term comes from a practice
known as Lean Urbanism that seeks to accelerate revitalization by minimizing regulation,particularly process
time,expense,and unpredictability. Lean regulations could be shortened review times, fewer code regulations,
or requiring public improvements that are more proportionate to the impact of the development. Fewer
regulations and less process means quicker review time,lower expenses and more certainty. This allows
smaller property owners and business entrepreneurs to participate in building the community through
incremental change.These small developers have the opportunity to invest in the community.
The PlaceMakers team will be on-site September 14-17 for a four day code drafting workshop. During this
time,the team will meet with staff,agency representatives,landowners and citizens to discuss the code
framework. The goal is to work through as many issues as possible during the workshop and minimize
changes to the first draft. Hearings for the adoption of the code are being scheduled for January. Because
the concept of a lean code is different from our current practices,the PlaceMakers team will also be
providing staff training.
Other Updates
•Staff has been meeting with the key stakeholders during this time of transition to update them
on Triangle planning efforts. Their involvement throughout this process is key to developing code and
zoning that will positively impact property owners in the Triangle.
•These conversations with property owners and developers are fostering relationships that may lead to
partnering on a catalyst site development in the Triangle. This includes discussions with PacTrust about
the short and long term plans for redeveloping the cinema site with a mix of commercial and residential
uses.
•In addition,Qamar Architecture&Town Planning has been contracted to provide urban design services
to those wanting to develop in the Triangle. Laurence Qamar has been reviewing proposed site plans,
meeting with developers,and providing ideas and designs that improve how the development can
advance Tigard's strategic vision.
•Public Works and Community Development worked together on a Lighter,Quicker,Cheaper project to
create an overlook at the corner of SW 68th&Dartmouth. This improvement highlights the views to
the west and creates a new destination for walking in the Triangle. A Community Development ice
cream visit was held on the site to help get the word out about the overlook.

Presentation on the final Tigard Street Heritage Trail concept.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Council is requested to review the Tigard Street Heritage Trail Concept Plan to share ideas
and opinions.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Tigard Street Heritage Trail project will convert about 3/4 of a mile of unused rail spur
right-of-way into a dedicated off street walk/bike path including lighting and safety fencing
and a public space where the trail intersects with Main Street. In 2014, the city signed a
99-year lease with ODOT Rail for use of this property. The path would stretch from Main
Street to Tiedeman Avenue, connecting Tigard's neighborhoods to Downtown businesses
and the transit center.
While funding to construct the project has not yet been secured, staff has advanced the Tigard
Street Heritage Trail project. In the fall of 2014, the Community Development Department
organized two focus groups to work with Resolve Architecture and Planning to explore
possible design themes and concepts. Focus group participants included members of City
Council, Tigard Downtown Affiance, City Center Advisory Commission, Tigard
Transportation Advisory Committee, and city staff. On January 20, 2015, Resolve presented
preliminary concepts to the Tigard City Council. A final charrette was held in February with
the focus group reviewing the draft plan.
Resolve designer Suenn Ho's design approach was to work with the following unique
attributes of the Tigard Street Heritage Trail:
•Various points of place-making opportunity along the former rail line
•A linear crescent shape to create visual interest on approach for both autos and
pedestrians
•Connection with historic Main Street
•Celebration of the early development of Tigardville and the city's rail history
•Connectivity with Fanno Creek Trail
•Tigard's Strategic Plan and Vision
•Recognition that installations along the trail may need to be relocated if the railroad
reclaims the easement
The "Tigard Street Heritage Trail" concept is the result of working with the focus group,
other stakeholders and research. This concept provides for an active trail that celebrates
Tigard's people, heritage, nature and art. The concept design strives to be:
•Relevant to the history of the community
•Built upon the 2010 Tigard Greenway Trail Master Plan
•Connecting to the surrounding network of trails
•An attractive active trail that is embraced by all ages
•Accommodating of proposals from the focus group and City Council: a fitness trail,
veterans memorial, a BMX track, an outdoor event/market space, some parking and
seasonal decor
•Respectful of the environment and native vegetation
•Accommodating of all users and those with strollers, wheelchairs, bicycles and dogs
•A safe, durable, low maintenance public trail that includes the following amenities:
o Conveniently placed emergency-police assistance kiosks
o Clean and safe toilet facilities (ADA standard)
o Drinking fountains
o Playful splash pad features
o Trail lighting
The concept has four main sub-areas: 1) A community plaza where the trail meets Main Street
(including the area under the viaduct); 2) a Commons area that includes concepts for a dog
park and/or BMX track; 3) a Stage Area for performance space; and 4) A plaza at the north
(Tiedeman) entrance. The concept also calls for connections to the Fanno Creek Trail and
public art.
In June, the 100% design concept was reviewed by the City Center Advisory Commission,
which suggested additional amenities and strongly expressed support for the concept.
As part of the Lighter Quicker Cheaper program to implement the Strategic Plan, the Public
Works department is paving the trail to allow public use in the interim before funding can be
secured to design the concept and build the full project.
City staff will explore appropriate grant opportunities to assist in funding the full project
including re-applying to ODOT's Connect Oregon program.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
No alternative for consideration at this time.
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
Tigard Strategic Plan
In 2014, the City of Tigard adopted a strategic vision focused on making this city the most
walkable community in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy
healthy and interconnected lives. The Tigard Street Trail implements this vision that
improves connectivity for residents, employees and commuters and by providing public open
space for people to connect with each other.
Tigard City Council Goals and Milestones 2015-17
Goal #2 Make Downtown Tigard a Place Where People Want to Be
Increase walkable access to open space by advancing plans for new downtown open space,
including the Tigard Street Trail plaza, the Fanno Creek Overlook and a Main Street plaza,
including programming.

Rails & Tigard
The location of "Southern Pacific Plaza" is be
significant because it is the interface
with the Tigard core area but the name is
erroneous, as that spot was never occupied by .r - �-.
the Southern Pacific. It was, however, the "�' \�` -1 t.4. - k.. . :.>i, ir
location of the Oregon Electric Station. The SP .� _._ . , ,..., _.
ran where the surviving rails still are, and are J -
used by freight trains and the WES today.
I think we should consider alternative names
, . . . . . . ----. :: 1 .44
such as "Station Plaza" or "Oregon Electric - ~`!'r
Plaza", or "Depot Plaza". -�� '

ISSUE
Introductory presentation on Saxony Property Redevelopment Study
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
The Board of the CCDA is requested to share their opinions and ideas on the goals,schedule,and process of
the study.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
On May 26,2015,the City Council authorized a resolution to complete the purchase of the Saxony-Pacific
properties on Main Street. On July 9th,the City of Tigard closed on the properties.
Because the property was purchased with Park Bond funds,there is a fixed timeline to determine the best use
of the site.Within 20 months of closing(by January 2017),the city must designate which portion (if any) of
the property will be public space,with any remaining portion to be sold for private redevelopment. The funds
from any sale to a developer will reimburse the Parks Bond.
The city has engaged Resolve Architecture and Planning to study the site over the next twelve months.Their
scope of work includes site and building design,economic feasibility,taking the design through land use
approval,and public involvement.
The first phase of the project will be to determine what type of development can be built on the site.The site
has constraints in that all of the property is in the100-year floodplain,with portions in the floodway and
vegetated corridor. Resolve Architecture,working with staff,will determine what can be built within the
limitations of Clean Water Services (CWS),Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA),Army
Corps of Engineers,Oregon Department of State Lands,and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
regulations and those of the Tigard Development Code.
The scope of work provides for an innovative"Developer Teaming"approach for this project.The consultant
team is expected to select a developer(or development advisor) to play an active role in shaping the plans. By
involving a developer partner early,cleaning up the site,creating an architecturally exciting concept and
absorbing the costs of entitling the project,development of the site is expected to be marketable and
financeable by late 2016.
Prior to closing the City obtained a Prospective Purchaser Agreement(PPA)with the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality(DEQ).This agreement spells out the City's cleanup obligations and liability
limitations for existing contamination The city is committed to perform further testing(five soil gas sample
points with follow-up soil and groundwater sampling) once the structures are demolished. This investigation
will evaluate whether soil cleanup work may be necessary to reduce or eliminate the need for a vapor
mitigation system.The city's environmental consultant estimated a likely cost to receive a No Further Action
Letter from DEQ to be approximately$260,000.This includes testing,remediation,vapor barrier installation,
and DEQ oversight. The city intends to apply for a Brownfield clean-up grant from the EPA to assist with
these costs.
Project Milestones:
•September 2015:Visioning Charrette
•December 2015:Project Open House
•December 2015:Apply for U.S.EPA Brownfields Clean-up Grant
•May 2016: EPA grant notification
•September-December 2016: Demolition and clean-up of property (estimate)
•March 2017: Decision on the future of the site (park bond funds requirement)
*July 2017: Redevelopment of site into public space and/or private redevelopment commences

Information
ISSUE
The City Council is asked to conduct a tour and inspection of the police department temporary holding
facility as indicated by the Oregon State Department of Corrections Facilities Inspector.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends that City Council participate in the tour and inspection of the police department temporary
holding facility.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The police department has completed mandatory information reporting for the Oregon Commission on
Children and Families regarding all custodies involving juveniles,annual audits of our temporary holding
facility,and nightly inspections by the supervisory staff. During an audit conducted by the Oregon State
Department of Corrections in 2005,the state inspector made several findings. The police department has
since complied with those findings and implemented processes to ensure compliance. The state inspector
stated that the City Council should conduct an annual tour and inspection of the facility as the governing body
for the City of Tigard.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may choose not to conduct an inspection.
