The purpose of this Agreement is to implement the Measure and facilitate the funding of a Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grants Program project on the Property. B. At no time will Metro have any supervisory responsibility regarding any aspect of the Project or the Property. Any indirect or direct involvement by Metro in the Project shall not be construed or interpreted by the Government Sponsor as Metro's assumption of a supervisory role. 5. Term It is the intent of the parties for the Project to have been completed, and for all Metro funding to have been provided to Grant Recipient prior to January 31, 2019. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all provisions set forth in this Agreement, and the obligations of the Government Sponsor hereunder, shall continue in effect after the completion of the Project until June 30, 2027. 6. Limitations on Use of Property A. Real Property and Associated Buildings and Improvements Throughout the term of this Agreement, the portion of the Property upon which the Project will be located (the "Project Area") shall be maintained and operated in a manner consistent with one or more of the following intended and stated purposes of the Measure (the "Nature in Neighborhood Approved Purposes"): • To safeguard water quality in local rivers and streams; • To protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitats; • To promote partnerships that protect and enhance nature in neighborhoods; and • To increase the presence of ecological systems and plant and animal communities in nature deficient and other disadvantaged neighborhoods; Notwithstanding the forgoing, secondary uses that arise as a result of the Project Area being used primarily in accordance with the Nature in Neighborhood Approved Purposes will be permitted, but only to the extent such secondary uses affect a de minimis portion of the Page 3 — Capital Grants IGA/Bull Mountain Nature Park CMETRO d Ave. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT 600NPortlanndd,,OOR R 9772323 2-2736 (503)797-1700 Project Area or are necessary in order to facilitate the primary Nature in Neighborhood Approved Purposes. For example, if, as part of a land use review proceeding initiated to obtain the necessary approvals to operate the Project Area consistent with the Nature in Neighborhood Approved Purposes, a portion of the Project Area was required to be dedicated as a road, such road dedication would be a permitted secondary use of the Project Area. B. Construction of Buildings or Other Capital Improvements All buildings and other capital improvements constructed on the Property using funds provided by Metro pursuant to the Grant Agreement shall be maintained in accordance with the Nature in Neighborhood Approved Purposes.

Oregon Constitution and Tax Exempt Bond Covenants The Government Sponsor acknowledges that Metro's source of funds for the Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grants Program is from the sale of voter-approved general obligation bonds that are to be repaid using ad valorem property taxes exempt from the limitations of Article XI, sections 11, 11 b, 11 c, 11 d, and 11 e of the Oregon Constitution, and that the interest paid by Metro to bond holders is currently exempt from federal and Oregon income taxes. The Government Sponsor covenants that it will take no actions that would cause Metro not to be able to maintain the current status of the real property taxes imposed to repay these bonds as exempt from Oregon's constitutional property tax limitations or the income tax exempt status of the bond interest under IRS rules. In the event the Government Sponsor breaches this covenant, the Government Sponsor shall undertake whatever remedies are necessary to cure the default and to compensate Metro for any loss it may suffer as a result thereof, including, without limitation, reimbursing Metro for any Projects funded under this Agreement that resulted in the Government Sponsor's breach of its covenant described in this Section. 8.

The Government Sponsor shall also permit the Grant Recipient to place at or near the Project's location signage that communicates that funding for the Project came from the Metro Natural Areas Bond Measure's Nature in Neighborhoods Capital Grants Program. 9. Termination for Cause A. Subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 9B below, Metro may terminate this Agreement, in full or in part, at any time during the term of the Agreement if Metro reasonably determines that the Government Sponsor has failed to comply with any provision of this Agreement and is therefore in default.

In the event the Government Sponsor does not cure the default within the 30-day period, Metro may terminate all or any part of this Agreement. Following such termination, Metro shall notify the Government Sponsor in writing of effective date of the termination. C. The Government Sponsor shall be liable to Metro for all reasonable costs and damages incurred by Metro as a result of and in documentation of the default. Following such termination, should Metro later determine or a court find that the Government Sponsor was not in default or that the default was excusable (e.g. due to a labor strike, fire, flood, or other event that was not the fault of, or was beyond the control of the Government Sponsor) this Agreement shall be reinstated or the parties may agree to treat the termination as a joint termination for convenience whereby the rights of the Government Sponsor shall be as set forth below in Section 10.

When the FBMP projects are underway, Tigard staff will provide technical assistance for design and installation of the features that will become a part of Bull Mountain Park. The FBMP will help implement a park concept plan that was developed in 2013 by the Tigard Parks Division with input and overwhelming support from the neighbors of the park. The City staff will work with the FBMP to develop amenities that are consistent with City park standards, as well as sustainable for long term maintenance. City staff time, along with any city purchased materials or supplies, will be tracked in our Public Works Computer Maintenance Management System. Bull Mountain Park is owned by the City of Tigard and was purchased with City of Tigard Park Bond funds in 2012, after neighbors of the property brought the idea to the Tigard Park and Recreation Advisory Board. The Tigard Parks Division is responsible for both the management and the maintenance of the park, and from the day of the purchase has been assisted by the neighbors of the park. The Parks Division staff have worked with the neighbors, who formed the FBMP, for the last two years. The many work parties in the park have resulted in the installation of trails and other features in the park, and the relationship between the FBMP and city staff has been mutually beneficial. The FBMP have supported the park facilities and their maintenance through numerous volunteer events and they, as well as the rest of Tigard, have benefitted from a higher level of maintenance and more amenities than would have been possible in such a short time frame. We look forward to partnering with the Friends on the BMP on this rewarding park project.

To-date,there are$21,250 in donations committed, pledged and identified for the proposed projects during 2015. Friends of Bull Mountain Park is a grass roots non-profit volunteer group dedicated to nature, education, health, and developing Bull Mountain Park utilizing ReGreen principles. The projects meet and exceed the Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants criteria.The completed projects will be capitalized and maintained by the City of Tigard. 1.1 Introduction and project overview Bull Mountain Park is a beautiful treasure located on the eastside of Bull Mountain in Tigard, Oregon.The landscape contains Oregon native plants and forests, an open space meadow, creeks, and it is home to various flora and fauna.The park has multiple entrances so as to access well designed soft trails,signs, and features. The park not only adds to the community. The community is adding to the park by coming together to make the park vision a reality. The existing Bull Mountain Park development has been done deliberately,to increase the presence of nature (wildlife, water,trees, Phantom Orchid, mushrooms, and other indigenous vegetation)to enrich the communities' nature experience and help strengthen a physical connection to the region's ecology. The park concept, also known as master plan, contains "ReGreen"features and has been approved during 2013. For more details refer to Appendix C Phantom Orchid, Forest and mushroom, and Pileated Woodpeckers. The Friends of Bull Mountain Park's Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants will enable the organization to continue the proposed six projects construction and augment the Bull Mountain Park "ReGreen" impact on nature and the community.The six projects high level descriptions are as follow. 1. Nature Play area, Pavilion with tables and benches for picnic area 2. Bull Mountain Park's vacant house removal 3. Toolshed 4. Additional soft trail 5. ADA trail access 6. Others (Outdoor bathroom shelter, water fountain, trails, benches, tables, signs, etc.) The Bull Mountain Park site is ready, park land use has been completed. Permits and permission for construction are committed. Michelle Mathis is the designer, Project Managers are identified and dedicated to success.The Friends of Bull Mountain Park leaders are committed, City of Tigard and Park and Recreation Advisory Board are supportive. Donation fundraising strategies are identified to complete the above six projects. We need the Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants cash infusion. 1.2 Site history and background Counselor Dirksen dedicated Bull Mountain Park June 21 2012.The park was purchased by the City of Tigard using bond measure 34-181 funds from Tigard's$17mm bond. In addition,the matching$6mm grants, totaling$23 mm, enabled Tigard to purchase additional parks.The bond is restricted to purchasing parks. The City of Tigard has very limited resources to develop and maintain parks, once purchased. Bull Mountain Park tax ID number is 25104DC05800. Its tax account number is R479075.The existing maps, in appendix A's Site and Area Maps, although the most recent, do not show the entire 10-acres. Park is lot 23-66. It borders on the Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 tax lot Ids, 13802 and 13813 SW Benchview Place, 13564, 13548, and 13526 SW Bram Place, and 14023 SW Alpine Crest Way and green space. An 8-acre parcel in the heart of East Bull Mountain, also at that time known as Paull Property, was purchased by City of Tigard during summer of 2012. Later on, an additional 2—acre parcel was added,to create the 10-acre Bull Mountain Park.The site is comprised of woods, open space, riparian areas along a creek on the west wide, and a seasonal creek on east side.The creek areas are important and valuable to ecology sources.They are considered tributaries to wetlands adjacent to rivers and streams. The name was changed to "Bull Mountain Park" in 2014. For more details refer to the Appendix A (renaming). In response, the grass roots volunteers agreed to change the name of the organization to Friends of Bull Mountain Park, "FBMP". Acknowledging the City of Tigard's limited resources,the Friends of Bull Mountain Park pursued the following subject matter experts for consultation, guidance, and identifying the park's natural assets very early on (2012 and 2013). - Dr. Pearl Paulson, PhD, Education - Dr. Paul Whitney, PhD, Natural resources,wildlife and nature preservation - Amy Grotta, Forestry, Asst. Professor and Extension Forster at Oregon State University - George Kral, Forest Management,Ash Creek Forest Management - Tim Pepper and Jenn Eaton—Trail design and construction For more details for above resources guidelines and inputs refer to Appendix C, December 2012 and January 2013 Newsletter. Friends of Bull Mountain Park have completed 45 projects since June 2012.There are 15 planned/active projects.There are 12 project backlogs. E.g.,for projects include Invasive plant identification and removal, signs, pet waste plastic disposal,waste management, endangered or on-watch list species identification and protection, soft trail building, bulletin boards, etc. Friends of Bull Mountain Park, City of Tigard, and volunteers have done and continue doing everything possible with minimum or no capital until now.To bring the Bull Mountain Park concept plan to reality, capital is needed. Hence, the Metro Nature in Neighborhood grant proposal. Friends of Bull Mountain Park experience is in volunteerism with no resources to create and maintain a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization.The group, in the preparation for fundraising and receiving grants, signed an agreement with the Tualatin River Watershed Council.The Tualatin River Watershed Council is the Friends of Bull Mountain Park fiscal sponsor. Fiscal sponsorship is an agreement through which a project or organization without tax-exempt status—but which could qualify for it-partners with an existing tax-exempt organization in order to receive donations and grants. Tualatin River Watershed Council non-profit tax id is 93-1286280. For more details and IRS non-profit 501 (c) (3) recognition letters refer to Appendix I. 1.3 Scope of work Friends of Bull Mountain Park have been volunteering work to protect and enhance the property to its full potential, since 2012. One of the goals is to connect 'kids' of all ages with nature. Bull Mountain Park's concept plan was approved during the summer of 2013. For more details refer to Appendix A concept/master plan.The following scope of work will result in many of the approved features. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 1. Natural Play Area: Natural Play Areas are outdoor spaces designated for play that are made of natural components such as plants, logs, water, sand, mud, boulders, hills and trees.These components represent the larger wild environment in a way that feels safe and manageable to young visitors and their parents while_providing conditions for imaginative and explorative play. Bull Mountain Park's nature play will follow the approved concept plan with 700 to 1500 sq. ft. containing large climbing structures, logs, balanced beams, and log and stone steppers, for the children 2-12 years old. A 12 inch deep Cedar Wood chip or playground chips carpet will cover the natural playground floor.The equipment manufacturers and Installers are liable to meet the playground safety. When needed, written inspections will insure proper implementation. Frequent, preferably annual inspection by a qualified Natural Playground inspector will insure the playground safety. Shelter/Pavilion with Picnic Tables and Benches: The proposed project will include a shelter, also referred to as pavilion,which will accommodate four picnic tables and benches. The proposed location will overlook a sloped, grassy meadow and is in close approximation to the proposed play area. The meadow has already been used for lawn games, such as Frisbee golf, pass and touch football, and in the winter, snowboarding. Wild flowers grow naturally there, and have long been of interest to local botanists. Volunteers along with the City of Tigard have made numerous soft trails through the park, leading to the meadow, which is centrally located. The shelter will be situated at the high point of the park, adjacent to the west forested area, and will serve as a meeting place for environmental education and placement for wall boards and trail maps. The Bull Mountain Park's picnic area will be approximately 12' by 20' shelter with cement flooring accommodating 4 picnic tables.They very closely match the Bull Mountain Park's approved concept plan. It is aimed to be the "Environment Education" center,where park visitors can learn about environment,flora, and fauna. The Nature Play Area, Shelter with Picnic Tables and Benches include the following sub-projects 1- Project Start Up 2- Design Development 3- Construction Documentation 4- Site preparation and grading 5- Construction Implementation 6- Signage, art, or education displays 7- Landscape focused on the Natural Playground and Picnic areas. The Nature Play and Picnic Area pavilion design concepts could change through the design process.They are depicted in the following collage, to pictorially convey the vision. In addition,they meet some of the basic needs of the park.The design features: - can offer hours of play and will be different every visit. - will draw nearby residents to the neighborhood park. - allow the possibility of many community installed elements. - can be built within the proposed project budget. - meet the Bull Mountain Park Concept/ Master approved plan. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 2. Bull Mountain Park House Removal:The Bull Mountain Park property had a vacant house on the premises.The house was placed where the Nature Play and Picnic areas will be constructed. The house removal is 1Q 2015, therefore making the Nature Play and Picnic areas available for construction. 3. Toolshed: Volunteers require tools to work around the park. A simple, practical,sustainable, and easy to maintain toolshed will empower the volunteers to have access to tools and secure the tools when not in use. 4. Soft trail: By extending the trail using approx. 1100ft of added soft-surface trails to the east for a connection to Gaarde Street, approximately 200 additional families will have pedestrian access to Bull Mountain Park. As a result, more than 350 families can access the park by foot and enjoy the Bull Mountain Neighborhood Park. Such a route also enables eastward connections for many hundreds of Bull Mtn. area residences; for example to the Pathfinder Trail and then on to the Fanno Creek Trail, Beaverton,Tigard and Portland.

For more details refer to Appendix H.The remaining$18,100 will be funded with other grants and donations. A total of$175,000 In-kind matching contributions are identified and available for the six projects. 1.5 Eligibility requirements The Friends of Bull Mountain Park's proposed development plan meets the Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants ReGreen requirements.The development will increase the presence of nature in the Bull Mountain area. Let us explore the ReGreen requirements compared to Friends of Bull Mountain Park's proposed development plan. "ReGreen applies to projects that increase the presence of nature(water, trees and other vegetation) to enrich people's experience and help strengthen a physical connection to the region's ecology. " The above "Scope of Work" section outlines the commitment and intent to develop Bull Mountain Park such that the park's users feel the full openness, and beauty of Oregon native plants and forests,to see the canopy of a natural forest, and to be able to play in a natural setting, climb rocks, balance on logs, and experience the natural wood, rock, and dirt in the natural play areas. There are no nature play area parks in Bull Mountain. Under the requirements of the grants used to purchase the park's property, it is required to provide rich education experiences at Bull Mountain Park.The six proposed projects will be a great natural education vehicle while supporting active and healthy activities out door. The Friends of Bull Mountain Park have organized nature tours, such as bird watching, mushroom discovery, and viewing Phantom Orchids,to name a few. In addition, Natural Honor Society, Key Club, Boy Scouts of America, and Tigard High School students' events implement projects in the Park. The projects are wonderful, hands-on, and practical education vehicles. For example, select 650 Oregon native trees, organize, and plant them in the park, identify and remove invasive plants, research, design, and post educational signs and art. Since summer of 2012, Friends of Bull Mountain Park events included students from Tigard, Sherwood,Tualatin, Newberg, and Beaverton schools. Bull Mountain Park is and will be the neighborhood natural education park and nature play area on the eastside of Bull Mountain. Friends of Bull Mountain Park and volunteers match the Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants 2:1 in the form of cash donations and in-kind. There are concerns about the impact on natural resources as the park becomes more popular. With Bull Mountain developing residentially,the City of Tigard and Friends of Bull Mountain Park would like to establish the facilities that will enable access of the public while protecting the natural habitat.The need for strategic development that enables access to these ecological 'class rooms'while protecting their inhabitants will require more funding. We have done everything possible with minimum to no financial support. It is truly the time for cash infusion and the Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants will play an utmost important key component in the Bull Mountain Park development. 1.6 Project readiness and risk The Friends of Bull Mountain Park projects, readiness and risk management break down to the following sub- components. 1. Track Record: With strong encouragement from Metro Councilman, Craig Dirksen, and the City of Tigard Mayor, John Cook, Friends of Bull Mountain Park began to focus on grant proposals and fund raising to develop Bull Mountain Park. (See Friends of Bull Mountain Park November 2013 and August 2014 Newsletters, respectively, Appendix B). Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 2. Designer:The Learning Landscapes Design LLC, Michelle Mathis- Principal and Lead Designer, is the Friends of Bull Mountain Park's selected designer, and one of the construction Project Managers. Michelle Mathis is a landscape architect with over 12 years of experience managing and designing projects that focus on sustainable spaces for learning, play, and recreation. She works on projects from theme and concept development through to construction; including park, school, early childhood center and kids destination recreation sites. She has a Master's Degree in Education with a focus on whole systems design for education,which she couples with her strong design sense to create spaces that are engaging and intrinsically support learning. Michelle strives to create inspiring spaces that connect people to their communities and the environment around them.

She comes to this project with a wealth of knowledge and local proven successful design tracks, e.g., Westmoreland Park, Oxbow Park, Cove Campground Day Use Area in Timothy Lake, Silver Falls State Park North Canyon Nature Play Area, and Carousel of Like and Ohio's Backyard Nature Play Area at the Cleveland Zoo. 3. Design Risk:The Friends of Bull Mountain Park, City of Tigard and Tualatin River Watershed Council are committed to manage the risk, and minimize design and construction costs while maintaining high quality outcomes.The following is a list of likely risk and cost management strategies. a. Utilize existing and proven designs wherever possible b. Avoid risky and complex designs c. Augment productivity with volunteer resources as much as possible d. Identify risks ahead of time, explore and identify risk's mitigation plan/s, and communicate them as soon as possible 4. Project Managers and Leaders: Friends of Bull Mountain Park is led by six dedicated Tigard residents, Bruce Harbison (Web Administration and Eagle Scout Advising), Cheryl Druding (Newsletter Editor),Jenn Eaton (Trail Master), Linda Shaw (Volunteers and Events Coordinator),Tim Pepper(Tigard Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) Liaison and Trail Master), and Toraj Khavari (Chairperson). Linda Shaw and Tim Pepper are members of Tigard Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.They have more than a decade of proven experiences in private and public positions.The Friends of Bull Mountain Park's officers/leaders biographies are listed in Appendix D. Sarah Soper, Steve Martin and April Olbrich are the Friends of Bull Mountain Park, City of Tigard, and Tualatin River Watershed Council's project managers, respectively.They have proven records of successful project management skills and leadership. For more details refer to Appendix E. Continuity and commitments are paramount to the Friends of Bull Mountain Park's proposed six projects implementation.The leaders and project managers are committed to resources, including leadership succession planning.Toraj and Irene Khavari's foundation has designated funds to continue the Bull Mountain Park development, in case of their demise (for more details refer to Appendix F).The Friends of Bull Mountain Park officers and leaders have 90 days to replace Toraj Khavari, in case of his death during the above projects. During the 90 days, or until a Friends of Bull Mountain Park's Chairperson is selected. 5. Permits and Others: a) City of Tigard 2014-2015 fiscal budget includes the cost of Bull Mountain Park house removal and minimal land preparation.The house is being removed prior to the Nature Play and Picnic areas construction. b) Utilities (electricity, and water), and public bathroom are available now and during the constructions. c) The certified City of Tigard park crewmembers will perform the playground audit.The building inspectors will inspect the shelter to meet the permit requirements.The shelter manufacturer will supply the needed drawings. They are stamped by an engineer for the building permit. Depending on the type of shelter and requirements, cement samples will also need to be taken. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 d) City of Tigard team members are identified and committed to assist the Friends of Bull Mountain Park Project Manager Sarah Soper and Designer Michelle Mathis.They are committed to work together in every aspect of the project to ensure successful quality and on-time deliverables. e) Bull Mountain Park land use is finalized and the park is a Tigard Neighborhood Park property. f) City of Tigard is committed to assist our needed permits (Picnic area shelter) and CWS pre-application. g) Friends of Bull Mountain Park projects meet the fire safety requirements. No fire safety permits are required. Bull Mountain Park has adequate fire hydrants. No additional fire hydrants are required. 6. Donations and In-kind: a) Donations and fundraising strategies are in process.The strategy breaks down to 1) Legacy donors, 11)Visionary level, and 111) Park patron. The full implementation is planned for after April 2015 as we get closer to the Metro Grant Nature in Neighborhood Grants application approval announcements. E.g., Large Donors Packages, YouTube, Bulletin board, Newsletter, Donors Envelopes,Acknowledgement Cards, Events. For more details about donations, refer to Appendix H. b) Friends of Bull Mountain Park,Volunteers, and City of Tigard continue their dedication and work in the park. They never stopped. Multiple projects are in progress in the park. E.g., East Meadow Soft Trails,Two Benches in the East Meadow, No poo and soft trail signs,ADA picnic table at the end of the ADA access trails, park's house removal, etc. c) All the in-progress tasks are in-kind contributions. Friends of Bull Mountain Park and Tualatin River Watershed Council leaders attended and are committed to participate in fundraising workshops and training sessions. 2 ReGreen criteria Considering both key components of the proposal; i.e., increase the presence of nature and enrichment of people's experience with nature and ecology,the projects meet the "Re-Green" criteria.The over-riding intent of this capital project is to develop infrastructure that will enable park users to experience sitting under Douglas Firs exceeding 100 foot heights while watching a deer grazing with her new fawn, admiring the beauty of wild flowers in the meadow, or taking a short walk into the cooler shade areas to rest on a bench overlooking a canyon. Park users are invited to take pleasure in having access to a remote sanctuary within walking distance of a densely populated city, where it's safe to come with their children. The Friends of Bull Mountain Park development project proposal, e.g., nature play, picnic area,ADA trail, etc. will augment and strengthen the presence of nature while enriching the community experience connection to the region's ecology. Bull Mountain Park is a valued Regional, Riparian,Wildlife corridor, and Agriculture area in the middle of a developed residential neighborhood.The park's west side creek in parallel to Benchview Place leads to the Tualatin River.The park and its landscapes are water source filters. In addition to the Westside creek, smaller seasonal east creeks play an important role as a water source.The Bull Mountain Park's creeks are near the park residences and street rain runoff. The creeks' health is paramount for the residents' water runoff and landslides prevention. Bull Mountain Park connects two Tigard green spaces on the west and east sides.The park and green spaces are natural wildlife corridors for a variety of animals, birds, deer, coyotes, rabbits, native Oregon Ground Squirrels, rare and majestic flying squirrels, etc.The Bull Mountain Park creek supplies water sources for wild migratory and resident wildlife while watering plants. For more details refer to appendix A regional conservation strategy map. 2.1 How does the project enhance people's ability to access and experience nature? The Bull Mountain Park is a hidden treasure.The Friends of Bull Mountain Park have been working to protect and enhance the property to its full potential, since early 2012. One of the park goals is to connect kids with nature. Nature Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 is an innate draw to children. Instead of spreading the intense kid use throughout the park,the concept plan identifies a nature play area. Our design of the nature play area will incorporate many aspects; safety, a wide range of age group uses, low maintenance, and use of appropriate materials. But, most of all we will be creating a neighborhood family hub; a place where kids and parents meet and friendships are built,where parents sit for hours and enjoy nature (or join in the fun) and kids engage in free, creative, and cooperative play. We will work with community and neighborhood youth to develop a design that is unique to Bull Mountain and builds lasting bonds between people and nature. Design is not approached with a cookie cutter strategy. This is how we ensure that the design fits the site, and reflects the needs of the stewards.With that said we understand we need to work quickly, manage risk, cost, and quality. Below are two visions that we think fit the site, meet the need for engaging play for the neighborhood, and are unique to the Bull Mountain community. However, during the initial design, community meetings and workshops will engage the community more to finalize the design. The following is a vision for the potential playground and nature play. Building Our Community As you approach the play area it looks like a busy construction site. Kids are working all over to build bridges, drive toy trucks, and develop community space.This small replica community includes a hill with 'Bull Mountain Park', houses platforms and interspersed plantings where neighborhoods can be built, a dry creek bed 'Summer Creek'for toy boats, bridges and wildlife, and also movable road tiles,trucks and blocks for reconfiguring the community.The play lumber shop, quarry and lake all supply materials for building. The Magic of the Forest Ideally every child's back yard would open up to an extensive wild area where they could build a magical forest discovery space. As you approach you see glimpses of forts and inviting secret trails.This design would recreate the areas kids would want to explore including; a series of forts along a discovery path,topography to run up and slide down, and climbing boulders and logs to shimmy across. The spaces would be organized for imaginative play as if kids were forest animals,fairies, or first people. These two design concepts could obviously change dramatically through the design process.They are presented here because they meet some of the basic needs of the site; 1. They can offer hours of play and will be different every visit. 2. They will be likely to create a draw in a neighborhood park. 3. They allow the possibility of many community installed elements. 4. They can be built within the proposed project budget. Adjacent to nature play, Bull Mountain Park picnic area will serve as a family center community,with tables, benches, arts, and education signs.The nature play and picnic areas are enhancements to existing soft trails augmenting nature learning, flora and fauna discoveries, outdoor activities, active life, and better health. 2.2 How does the project's location strengthen access to nature within a given community? The Friends of Bull Mountain Park have a proven track of fostering environments for communities to learn about nature, appreciate natural settings,flora and fauna.Volunteers built trails, bulletin board, signs, web sites, and Newsletters to engage communities in nature events. For more details, refer to Appendix A To-date site map,To-date site map and Appendix C, and Additional references Appendix J. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 Not only is Bull Mountain Park adding to the community, the community has come together to make the park vision a reality.The project will continue to foster partnerships between the City of Tigard,Tualatin River Watershed Council, Tigard High School, Boy Scouts of America, local businesses, and neighborhood volunteers. Bull Mountain Park has unique opportunities to bring communities to learn about the rare Phantom Orchid, Pileated Woodpeckers, mushrooms, deer, etc., among wonderful and beautiful forests.The additional 1,100 ft. of soft tails will enable more than 350 families to have access to nature in middle of a residential area. 2.3 How does the programming strengthen the communities' access to nature? To-date,the Bull Mountain Park grass roots volunteer based development since 2012 has strengthen the communities' access to nature with the "Passive" and "Proximity' models. Once the soft trails were constructed, invasive plants were removed, some signs were posted, Newsletters and web sites were deployed, the park use increased.The nearby residents are using the park and the present assets. The Fiends of Bull Mountain Park's six proposed projects strengthen the communities' access to nature, "Intentionally". The site is being programmed for uses such as conservation education, nature play, and natural healthy activities. By design, purposefully,the Bull Mountain Park has six entrances. - SW Alpine Crest Way (Service Vehicle Entrance), - SW Greenfield Drive, - SW Benchview Place, - SW Woodshire, - SW Fernridge Terrace, and - SW Ridgefield Lane The nature play and picnic areas, and picnic area pavilion are centrally located in the park.The six entrances and centralized location for the nature play area and picnic table enable the park users' maximum accessibility. For more details and maps refer to appendix A concept/master plan area map. The Bull Mountain Park multiple entrances, existing soft trails, additional soft trails, Newsletters, and signs are a few items used to promote the intentional use of the park and added features. City of Tigard publications and social Medias continue their commitments to promote Bull Mountain usage and nature access. 3 Partnership and community engagement The Friends of Bull Mountain Park and the proposed six projects objectives are to be beautifully designed and sustainable, to augment already existing "ReGreen" purposes. Nevertheless, if they are not also safe, functional, and maintainable,they will not endure for long term success.They will soon be neglected and fall out of favor.These may lead to the community feeling that the projects were not positive accomplishments, and the time and money wasted. Michelle Mathis is a registered landscape architect and a certified playground safety inspector. She will ensure the design meets current safety codes and functions fluidly. For more detail, please refer to Section 1.6. Tim Pepper and Jenn Eaton have proven trail design and construction experience.The Bull Mountain Park existing soft trails are good references and examples. They have also held training classes. For more details refer to Appendix C Trail Building Classes. The Friends of Bull Mountain officers/ leaders have actively engaged the community to initiate and execute more than 45 projects in the park, since June 2012. Community engagement is paramount to the success and buy-in of the six projects. We are committed to work with the community and key stakeholders during every phase of the projects, develop the design, construction, and final delivery. During the nature play design phase, specific meetings and workshops will be held to engage the community more. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 The six projects will create and continue building on the excitement of community ownership and pride. They initiate new and expand on existing relationships between Friends of Bull Mountain Park and are designed to rally diverse communities to maximize outcomes.

Any "funding" includes grants and donations, excluding the In-kind contributions. The Tualatin River Watershed Council Admin costs $16,300. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 4.1 Priorities and phasing 1. The Nature play and picnic area design and cement constructions are preferred to be implemented at the same time to reduce cost and insure cohesive design. 2. Nature play area elements, picnic area contents, picnic area shelter, and other projects can be implemented in parallel based on resource availability and budget.The Friends of Bull Mountain Park volunteers vary and have diverse skills.The project managers will manage the project executions parallel activities. 3. The six projects deficit will empower the projects to be completed in phases and extended to 2016 and potentially subsequent year (dependent on the contingency budget impacts, if any).The Friends of Bull Mountain Park is preparing to apply for another Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants during 2015 for 2016 funds. 4. The following outlines the projects priorities. All other projects are completed with In-kind contribution. a) Nature Play and Picnic area b) Picnic Area Shelter, Pavilion c) Toolshed 5 Multiple benefits for people and nature The Friends of Bull Mountain projects have multiple dimensions which benefit people and nature.The six projects foster great opportunities for children of all ages to enjoy, learn and come in contact with nature in a high residential area. Furthermore, Bull Mountain Park fosters an environment which supports a sustainable all natural corridors for Oregon native wildlife such as deer, coyote, humming birds, owls, and the list goes on. Bull Mountain Park benefits do not stop at people and wildlife passage;the park is host to 100 ft.tall Oregon native trees, Phantom Orchids, various Mushrooms, lilies, and a lot more. We may even dare to say,we have not discovered all of the 10-acres treasures and assets,to-date. Bull Mountain Park is a natural water source and water filter.The Westside creek and seasonal east side creek are water sources.The same creeks are rain run-off for the developed neighborhoods. The creeks are paramount not only to nature, they are critical for the developed residential homes stabilities and landslides erosions, and paved streets rain run-off. Bull Mountain Park, although small in comparison with other parks, is a valued asset in the East Bull Mountain area.The park has six entrances, contains a central meadow, and a perfect hill top to view sunsets and sun rises in a highly populated residential area.The Bull Mountain Park provides a perfect place for nature learning, education center, a place for communities nearby to enjoy, and learn and connect to nature for all ages, young and young at heart. Trails in the hills provide cardiovascular, pulmonary, and healthy activities for the park users to exercise and for being active. In conclusion, let us summarize some of the Bull Mountain Park and how its development projects benefit people and nature. - Education - Contribute to the park development with reasonable financial impact - Wildlife corridor - Engage communities and citizens in great causes - Oregon native flora and faunas - Meet the bond measure 34-181 education requirements for Bull sanctuary Mountain Park - Neighborhood natural sanctuary - Augment the community nature involvement - Water source - Increase the community support for City of Tigard - Water filter - Grow the people support for the Tigard's Park and Recreation - Endangered species protection Advisory Board - Healthy and active human life - Involve and support the local businesses more - Being part and continuation of the City of Tigard walk trails Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 The Appendix J, "Additional References", contains supporting documentation and links to substantiate the "Multiple Benefits for People and Nature" information. 5.1 Workforce development and economics benefits Friends of Bull Mountain Park are City of Tigard continue to commit to hiring local Oregon and minority owned organizations,work force, and volunteers,while using natural resources as much as possible.The projects will also provide job skill development as our new partner Oregon Womentrades joins the park development effort. The job skill development commitments will continue with Boy Scouts of America, National Honor Society, Key Club, and Tigard, Sherwood,Tualatin, Newberg, and Beaverton high schools. 5.2 Intentional programming and/or education Bull Mountain Park provides a real life natural classroom in a highly residential area. The nature-play area and picnic pavilion will attract families to the park. However, instead of using commonplace school playground equipment,the children and their parents will be introduced to the forms,textures, and smells of the forest. The more elements of human five senses are engaged in the learning processes the more effective the learning and knowledge retention. Therefore; the most effective vehicles to teach and learn. Bull Mountain Park's existing well designed and sustainable soft trails are inviting to children and adults to explore nature, learn,teach (parents and grandparents with children, teachers and students outdoor classes), explore, feel, touch, see, smile, hear, and taste nature.The enhanced proposed ADA soft trail and Gaarde Street access reinforces more park users' access, education, being active, and enjoying out door. 5.3 Build community cohesiveness, health and a sense of place. Bull Mountain Park is surrounded by a diverse neighborhood that neighbors by choice and commitment. Health and community cohesion are indivisibly linked. Health tends to decline in communities where levels of interaction are low. Friends of Bull Mountain Park meet and hold events regularly. E.g., during 2013, Friends of Bull Mountain Park met regularly, coordinated, and executed more than 20 park events and celebrations. Similar and more activities were held during 2014 and will continue.The six proposed projects in the Bull Mountain Park will augment community cohesion while having access to nature play, picnic area, picnic pavilion, more soft trails,ADA access tails, and well-designed natural land scape. 5.4 Contracting with MWESBs The Fiends of Bull Mountain Park is an equal opportunity group of volunteers, dedicated to diversity, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned enterprises, and emerging small businesses. The following are a few examples of the group dedication to equal opportunities. - Half of the Friends of Bull Mountain Park officers are women and the Chairperson is a first generation American who became a US citizen in 1989. - The Learning Landscapes Design is a small business,women owned, and one of the Friends of Bull Mountain Park partners. - The Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. is one of the Friends of Bull Mountain Park partners. For more details refer to Appendixes D, E, and F. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 6 Additional evaluation measures The Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants funds, if granted, are well needed cash to construct the Bull Mountain Park Nature Play, picnic area, and picnic area pavilion. The 2:1 match will be met with cash donations and In-kind.The natural material,volunteer contribution, and In-kind matching minimizes the construction costs. 6.1 2015 grant application cycle for 2016 funding There are budget deficits. In addition,there are possibilities of 20%to 30%contingency budget increases.The Friends of Bull Mountain Park is preparing to apply for another Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants during 2015 for 2016 funds. 6.2 Helping a neighborhood and community access nature Bull Mountain Park, by design, has six entrances.The park users can access the centralized nature play, picnic area, picnic area pavilion, bathroom, water fountain, information bulletin board, pet waste bags,garbage cans, signs, and information.The 10-acre Bull Mountain Park, Westside green space, Eastside Greenfield trail extension, and the other entrances welcome park users to enjoy and experience Oregon native forest, flora and fauna. Education signs and arts will empower and aid the park users to experience the nature education while fostering a welcome and safe environment for children and children in heart. 6.3 Likelihood of projects success The Friends of Bull Mountain Park six projects likelihood of success are multi-dimensional. Let us examine them one at a time. 1. Experience and commitment of applicant and partners Refer to section "Partnership and community engagement" for detailed information that will support the likelihood of the projects success. 2. Project management plan The six Friends of Bull Mountain Park's project plans will be detailed during the 1Q or 2Q 2015, depending on the availability of funds and Metro Nature in Neighborhood Grants application response. 3. Project timeline including fundraising, design development, permitting, bid/contract process, construction and community celebration Fundraising, Legacy donors are contacted and strategies are designed. Started Nov. 2014. Fully implemented 2Q2015. Design development, 2Q2015 Permitting, 3Q2015 Bid/contract process, 3Q2015 and potentially 4Q2015 Construction,4Q2015 and 1Q2016 o In-kind projected started 4Q2014 and they will continue through the end. Community celebration o Often during the projects o Nature Play and Pavilion dedication,June 212016 (Bull Mountain Park 4th birthday- dedication) 4. Challenges identified Six projects design and blue prints are not completed.Therefore,the construction costs are an estimate.Although we added 20%and 30%contingent budget plan,there are possibilities the cost will exceed the estimated budget.To manage the risk, the project manager will monitor the cost and communicate potential risks, as soon as possible. Attachment 1 Grant Application Co.933913 Exhibit A of Co.933914 The potential risk mitigation can be to exercise the stepwise construction model, if needed.
