their 2016 Goals.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC) makes recommendations to the Board of the
City Center Development Agency (CCDA) on urban renewal policy, budget and
implementation measures to improve Tigard's Downtown area.
The CCAC met with the board of the CCDA on February 2, 2016, to review their draft goals.
One of the goals that the CCAC adopted was to "Actively self-educate on topics of interest to
the downtown." The CCAC formed subcommittees to meet and research topics over the past
few months. The subcommittees presented their findings and recommendations at CCAC
meetings.
The three topics researched were housing, transportation and circulation, and the Southwest
Corridor project's impact on Downtown. The CCAC will share their findings and
recommendations at the joint meeting.

3. DOWNTOWN BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION FROM JUDY HOARFROST,
OWNER OF PADDLE PALACE TABLE TENNIS
Redevelopment Manager Farrelly introduced Judy Hoarfrost, owner of Paddle Palace in downtown
Tigard. He said this will be the first in a regular series focusing on downtown businesses. Ms.
Hoarfrost gave a PowerPoint presentation on their mail order table tennis business. She said they
moved to Tigard from downtown Multnomah Village in August into the old Crown Carpet
location because they needed more space. They are suppliers of many equipment brands and sell
everything related to table tennis. She said their products are shipped worldwide and she
appreciates the proximity of their location to the post office.
Ms. Hoarfrost was a member of the US Table Tennis team for ten years and also went to China as
part of the ping pong diplomacy effort. Worldwide,table tennis is the most popular indoor sport
and is second only to soccer as a participation sport. There are physical and mental benefits to
playing table tennis,including helping reverse effects of Alzheimer's, and it is fun. There are many
clubs all over the country and the sport is growing in popularity in the United States.
Ms. Hoarfrost said they have space in their building where they would like to put in a table tennis
club. People walk in everyday and ask where they can play. There are several clubs in Portland but
there is currently nothing available full time in the SW area of Portland. She wants a better place
for families to play and take classes and where women are comfortable and children can be
dropped off to play. No OLCC license is desired. She wants to provide comfortable table tennis
conditions with a viewing balcony for parents or spectators. She said the city considers it an
assembly place so four restrooms are required for women and two for men. More doors are also
required per the code. She said they are seeking managers, coaches and other personnel to help run
the club.
Director Woodard suggested she look into renting space to personal trainers. He said her
connections provide a huge opportunity for tournaments. Chair Cook welcomed her to Tigard and
said this would be good activity to draw people to the downtown.
Director Snider asked what the CCDA can do to help them. Ms. Hoarfrost responded that the
code was strict about the number of restrooms suggested and there is a question about how many
are needed. She expressed concerns about utilizing as much space for play as possible.
CITY COUNCIL
4. CONSIDER APPROVING THE REVISED CITY CENTER COMMISSION BYLAWS
Redevelopment Manager Farrelly said the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC) discussed
bylaw revisions at their December 2015 and January 2016 meetings. Several items from the city's
standard bylaws template (which was implemented since the original bylaws were adopted) are
recommended for inclusion. The major change is under the composition section. A designated
represented member does not need to be a resident but must be owner of the business or building
in Tigard. A change is recommended because there may be a business such as a bank or a
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES—APRIL 5, 2016
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 1 www.dgard-or.gov Page 2 of 6
property where it is not practical for the owner to be on the CCAC. It could be valuable to have
the input of a local manager interested in participating.Another item is allowing up to two ex
officio members who represent taxing districts or non-resident experts with desired backgrounds
such as architecture. Section 2 is clarified and specifies that when a member does not meet the
requirements they must resign. He said there are also a few other minor housekeeping items. In
February the CCAC recommended approval of these changes.
Mayor Cook said he thought the changes were good. In response to a question about taxing
district participation,Mr. Farrelly said it is important to foster communication especially as we
consider changes or expansion to the urban renewal area. Staff had received a request from
TVF&R about participating in the past.
Councilor Woodard said he liked the idea of having more people but wanted more than two
property owners and preferred it to be only the owners or major decisions makers. He expressed
concern about conflicts of interest for real estate professionals and bankers who might want to do
business with the City of Tigard. City Manager Wine said this is covered in the Code of Conduct
for Board and Committee Members which they are required to sign. Mayor Cook clarified that this
includes ex officio and non-voting members.
Mayor Cook said a future council may not understand what designated representative means.
Councilor Woodard said it should be someone who is actively managing or participating in
management decisions. City Attorney Olsen suggested using the language, "or their designated
management personnel." Council members agreed with that change.
Councilor Woodard moved to approve Resolution No. 16-11, as amended. Council President
Snider seconded the motion.
Mayor Cook asked City Recorder Krager to read the number and title of the resolution.

5. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER APPROVING AN ORDINANCE TO
AMEND THE TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 10:28 AND 10:32 REGARDING
PARKING
a. Open Public Hearing -Mayor Cook opened the public hearing and announced that this is a
legislative public hearing and anyone may testify.
b. City Attorney Olsen read the hearing procedures, a copy of which was at the front of the room.
C. Mayor Cook read a statement about the process for the public hearing.
d. Staff Report: Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly gave the staff report. He said parking
is a hot topic in the downtown and there are a lot of concerns from businesses and nearby
residential neighborhoods. He hears many complaints about violations of time limited parking.
Tigard's on-street parking regulations are found in Tigard Municipal Code Chapter 10.32
concerns the authority of council to establish traffic controls and Chapter 10.28 lists the time
limited parking zones in the city. Under the current code adding or making changes to any of
these zones requires a legislative public hearing and adoption of an ordinance changing the
TMC. He gave an example of the signs in the parking lot on Burnham that state a two-hour
parking limit but that newer lot is not listed in the code so police could not write tickets. He
said when the Burnham and Ash development is up and running,parking challenges are
anticipated and staff would like to be able to adjust regulations once there are residents and
businesses. Rather than add the Burnham parking lot or any others that develop staff proposes
to streamline the process and change the TMC to delegate authority to establish parking
controls to the city manager.
Mr. Farrelly directed council's attention to a matrix included in the meeting packet that outlines
council parking and street functions that are proposed to be delegated to the city manager. City
manager decisions would be subject to appeal or review by council. Anyone could appeal the
decision to council and any councilor can initiate a review of a decision related to this TMC
chapter.
Parking regulations would be enforced by installing new signs, clearly stating any time limits or
other restrictions. Before setting new time restrictions staff proposes communicating with and
receiving feedback from nearby businesses and residents. Notices will be mailed prior to the
change going into effect. The city manager could delegate to an interdepartmental team with
Senior Transportation Engineer McCarthy, Senior Transportation Planner Brown,and Police
Captain McDonald.They would also have oversight on bus stops and crosswalks. Public
Works will oversee traffic signals and base decisions on traffic engineering principles,
recognized traffic standards and professional judgment. He said there is a last-minute change to
Exhibit A proposed by the Police Department: Chapter 10.32.030 clarifies that the police and
fire department have the ability to temporarily create no-parking zones in emergencies
e. Council questions of staff: None
f. Public Testimony: No one in the audience signed up to speak.

g. Staff response to testimony: None
h. Mayor Cook closed the public hearing.
i. Council Deliberation:
Councilor Woodard said he looked at it from a citywide vs. urban renewal area aspect and was
concerned that council would not get the opportunity to hear from the business owners. He
recommended not having it apply to downtown businesses or special districts and wanted
council review on La and Lb.He wrote a suggested motion creating this exception.
Council President Snider said he is generally supportive about delegating to the city manager
and staff because council's job is to set overall policy. He asked for the staffs response to
Councilor Woodard's suggestion. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said it makes sense
to be sensitive to stakeholders and businesses and the idea is to get their feedback before
changes are made. All things being equal staff would rather work it out. Businesses can appeal
to council.
Councilor Woodard referred to a long ago situation when a city department reached out to
business owners regarding parking and created quite a stir. Hard feelings were created and after
ten years relationships are better but it is still remembered. A public process is a good
opportunity to hear the business owners' opinions. He said he did not want to relinquish his
control over parking in the urban renewal area. Council President Snider said one reason for
the change is so the city can react more nimbly to issues because council action takes a long
time.
City Attorney Olsen said any decision staff makes may be appealed to the city council or a city
councilor may initiate a review. Mayor Cook commented that if a business owner disagrees
with a decision they can always ask a council member to bring it up for review. City Attorney
Olsen said technically the code language on review is post-decision. He said it could be changed
so that the city manager or a city councilor may initiate a review of a proposed or final decision
by filing a written request at any time. This language could be section 10.32.016.C. A potential
impact is that it gives less certainty to business owners who have had a particular parking sign
up for a few months.
Councilor Goodhouse said council has much on their agenda and is micromanaging if it is
reviewing every decision. He said he was supportive of delegation. Council President Snider
noted that staff can be proactive and keep council apprised of any controversial decisions that
may be coming to them for appeal.
Councilor Woodard moved to approve Ordinance No. 16-08 with an amendment to
Section 10.32.016.c the city manager or any council member may initiate a review of any
proposed decision or final decision of the city manager by filing a written request at any
time. Council President Snider seconded the motion.
City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the ordinance.

C. Call to Board and Staff for Non-Agenda Items - Chair Cook reported on the Oregon
Department of Transportation Region 1 Area Commission on Transportation (ACT)
meeting. He said Tigard's request for an Oregon Connects VI grant for the Tigard Street
Trail was voted as the number two project for recommendation to the Oregon
Transportation Commission for funding. He expressed confidence that Tigard has a good
chance of receiving some funding for the project.
2. DISCUSS POTENTIAL SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CENTER URBAN
RENEWAL PLAN
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly and City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC)Vice Chair
Pao opened a discussion on a potential substantial amendment to Tigard's Urban Renewal Plan.
Current projections are that the urban renewal agency does not have the financial capacity originally
estimated and will not be able to achieve several envisioned projects within the time frame of the
plan. Major projects including a performing arts center, structured public parking,Ash Avenue
extension,post office relocation and others have not happened. It will also be difficult to raise as
much housing or as many jobs as originally planned.When the projections were done in 2006 it was
pre-recession and the Agency is only at the halfway mark for predicted tax increment financing.
TIGARD CITY CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES—MAY 3, 2016
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov Page 1 of 4
Mr. Farrelly said there are three options to consider:
• Accept being halfway complete with the plan.
• Extend the life of the district. It may take another ten years to collect an additional$22
million.
• Accelerate the progress by expanding the size of the district to raise more tax increment.
He said putting the Tigard Triangle urban renewal district on the ballot in May 2017 could provide
some synergy for a public discussion on downtown urban renewal and how the districts could help
each other. Another reason to act in the next year is that an agreement between taxing jurisdictions
and agencies not to change current urban renewal law expires next year.
CCAC Vice Chair Pao on April 13 the CCAC was given the same information the CCDA received
about the amount raised lagging behind projections. After discussion the CCAC consensus
supported exploring all of the options. Staff later provided Vice Chair Pao and Chair Arendes
information on what an expanded URD would include. The CCAC has not reviewed this diagram.
She said that personally, she preferred to expand the URD which would increase the TIF. Option 1
means we have a project that is half-done and many people have invested a lot of energy in this and
we need to keep the momentum going. Option 2 gives the impression the CCDA keeps missing
deadlines and has not made this a priority.
Mr. Farrelly referred to a timeline included in the meeting packet. Financial analysis would begin in
September for a potential vote in 2017. He encouraged building upon past success and forming a
task force. Expansion would add 128 acres and$54 million in assessed value. Calculations have not
been completed on the potential TIF.
Director Snider said he liked the addition of the Tigard Street Trail area as it has great proximity to
the downtown and is ripe for redevelopment.
Director Goodhouse cautioned that costs will be higher and the city will not be able to do as much
with dollars in the future. He noted that people are starting to see progress in the downtown after
many years and it is good timing to ask for an extension to the URD. Director Snider commented
that if Burnham and Ash development catalyzes investment in the area this has a better chance of
being successful.
The CCDA directed staff to explore all options except one and add looking at expansion of both
time and area. Staff will bring back information to the CCDA for continued discussion.
3. PREVIEW DOWNTOWN VIDEO
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly showed the CCDA the downtown video. The idea for the
video came from the CCDA after viewing an end of year synopsis and it was suggested that
accomplishments in the downtown be summarized in video format. Staff worked with TVCTV on
the 3.5-minute film. It will be shown on the website and linked to the city's Facebook page. Chair
Cook said it adds to the ways the city communicates with citizens. He asked that it be shown at the
TIGARD CITY CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES—MAY 3, 2016
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov Page 2 of 4
next SW Corridor meeting which will be hosted by Tigard. Director Snider suggested looping it at
the Farmers Market.
4. RECEIVE UPDATE ON CCDA AND CITY-OWNED DOWNTOWN PROPERTY
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly reported on the Fanno and Main property. The geotech
report indicates that the soils can support shallow foundations and deep pilings are not required.
The property is going through the land use process and staff is meeting with developers. A
neighborhood meeting was held and 8 people came. The main question was where people will park.
ODOT has a strip of right of way that has been used for access since the viaduct was built. The city
wants to preserve access and use it for parking or loading. ODOT does not want to provide an
easement but may be willing to surplus it so the city is working through that process. Clean Water
Services is still working on analysis for a service provider letter.
City staff wanted to participate in the Downtown Art Walk and so staff art will be hung in two
windows of the old emblem shop. Associate Planner Pagenstecher painted the building around the
windows to call attention to the Art Walk. Chair Cook reported on meetings he held with EPA staff
in Washington DC last week.They were impressed with the city's clean-up and marketing efforts for
this property. Their only question was how to contain the area once cleaned up to prevent further
pollution from entering the site.
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly updated the CCDA on the Ferguson property which was
purchased for redevelopment. Staff contacted their real estate department to explore their openness
to relocating before their lease expires. They agreed in concept to relocating if they could find an
appropriate space and the city paid any difference between their current rate and the new one.
Community Development Director Asher noted that their lease rate is below market.
The Ash Avenue Dog Park relocation was successful and the only complaint is lack of parking. Mr.
Farrelly noted an issue with Capstone sub-contractors parking in some of the spots. He responded
to questions about the current location of the Ash Avenue Dog Park and said the area is considered
interim and may be redeveloped. Tigard still needs to find a permanent space for a larger dog park in
or near downtown. Mr. Farrelly noted that the Capstone developers find the current dog park to be
an amenity. In response to a question from Director Goodhouse,he said there is a small area within
the project for a dog walking area.
Richard Shavey thanked Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly for the good"nuts and bolts"
report and suggested it part of an annual report.

3. INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSS SW CORRIDOR BALLOT MEASURE—
Community Development Director Asher gave an update on the SW Corridor (SWC) project which
has reached an important point in its five-year life. He said the project has not usually been
discussed at CCDA meetings but it is appropriate tonight because this project is of great importance
to the downtown and the rest of Tigard.
Mr. Asher reviewed what Tigard's City Charter says has to happen for this project to succeed. Staff
recommends that council consider within three weeks whether or not to refer a ballot measure to
the public in November. He said the SWC project is an ever-shrinking project in terms of where it
might go. When discussed in the past a package of investments was proposed,some transit-related
and some not. There were some road improvements,bike and pedestrian improvements,and even
park and recreation improvements. The SWC area is generally the area by and between I-5 and
Highway 99W from Portland all the way through Tualatin and even into Sherwood. He said the
focus tonight is the SWC light rail or MAX.Through a lengthy process which Mayor Cook and
others have been a part of, the project is starting have definition. Whereas there used to be a"plate
of spaghetti" of possible routes all through the area it has been distilled down to just a few. He
showed a map showing the alignment options and said if people did not see a purple line on this
map the MAX will not go there. It will only follow one of the purple lines and it may take a few
years to decide on a final alignment. He traced each alignment and discussed station options,
explaining that in branch service not every train goes on the same route. He said light rail would
arrive in Tigard the same way and in every case the northernmost point of entry is in the Tigard
Triangle and in no case is it on Highway 99W.
Community Development Director Asher said the alignments are not the main discussion tonight
but he would leave the slide up as framework for a discussion on what Tigard's Charter requires for
the City of Tigard to be supportive of this project. A few years ago Measure 34-210 which added
Section 53 to the Charter. It says the City of Tigard as a matter of public policy opposes
construction of a new high capacity transit corridor within the city boundary unless voter approval is
first obtained. It defined high capacity transit corridor. He said the most complex subsection talks
about information that must be provided to voters if the city wanted voters to vote on a high
capacity transit or light rail project related to any amendments or changes to the comprehensive
plan, zoning code or community development code. It turns out that there would be some changes
to those plans so if that will be done to accommodate a high capacity project voters have to approve
it. Section 53 also requires the city to provide voters with information: 1) total amount of road
capacity that would be reduced,2) any increases in housing density or any changes to land use
regulations that would be proposed to site or otherwise accommodate the project,and 3) projected
total public cost of the project. The fourth section requires an annual letter to be sent to state and
regional officials reminding them of this policy of opposition.
City staff has been working to prepare a process and a ballot measure that council can put out to
voters in November. For the sake of the project, this is the best time to do it. We know enough
about the project now to answer those questions but it is early enough that if the city wants to
continue the policy it is better to know that now rather than later. There is a lot of process to place
this on the ballot in the fall and the discussion needs to start now.

Mayor Cook asked how Charter Section 52 is not related. Community Development Director Asher
says Section 52 of the Charter says the City of Tigard shall not increase a current tax or fee or
impose a new local tax or fee for construction costs to build or expand light rail transit without voter
authorization. This law came first and is only about funding. Section 53 is about an objection to
allowing the project in the city and is silent on funding. If voters vote yes,it is OK to have a light
rail system run through Tigard, they may well have to vote again if the City of Tigard wanted to raise
any local money for it. Mayor Cook said he wanted the public to know that this vote is not about
funding it and no fees or taxes will be raised to fund anything right now with this vote.
He read the ballot caption, question and summary noting there is a link to the city's website for
more information. Community Development Director Asher discussed the ballot title and added
that the council will need to adopt an authorization ordinance to put a measure out to the voters in
Tigard. There will also be a procedural ordinance clarifying ambiguities in the Charter and spelling
out what the city is trying to do. It will define terms and include a methodology about how roadway
capacity reductions are going to be studied and how the numbers will be computed. It outlines a
public process that includes public hearings so there will be a record of a public and transparent
process by which council came to interpret Section 53.
Mayor Cook noted that the ballot title Mr. Asher read is a draft and since putting it out last week,
staff received several comments and made changes. The plan is to listen to what the audience likes
and dislikes. Council may have some items to add in as well so not everything seen tonight is what
will end up in the final language. The goal is to approve placing this on the ballot at the June 28
council meeting and the packet for that meeting will be published online on June 21. He called
people forward that signed up to testify.
Richard Shavey signed up but did not testify.
Carine Arendes, City Center Advisory Commission Chair, 9524 SW North Dakota Street,Tigard,
OR, said she appreciated the public hearing and was not speaking so much to the ballot language,
• but to the importance of having a light rail station downtown,which is the scope of the CCAC.
According to the city's budget we are adding over 200 homes annually and Tigard's population is
expected to grow by 500 people, or 1 percent annually. Over the course of 20 years that means
about 10,000 more people living in Tigard and they will need housing.The city currently has policies
to preserve single-family neighborhoods and provide a wide range of housing options. One way to
accommodate the expected population growth is to create new neighborhoods such as River Terrace
but we cannot expand indefinitely. It is also expensive to expand new services to River Terrace so
most of that housing ends up on the high end of the affordability scale and does not really
encourage a wide range of housing types such as townhouses, duplexes and apartments. What else
can we do?Look for other opportunities to provide housing that is more affordable and compact
in areas where we already have service or in other words,infill development. This is why the
downtown has been identified as a place for infill and why we prioritize adding housing in the
downtown area. Not many live downtown and certainly not as many as could live there in the
future.
The city has made recent investments to activate downtown;however, one of the most important
amenities is having a rapid and reliable transit system. Having a downtown light rail station would
be a valuable amenity and would make living downtown more attractive. It would make it possible
for people to live without a car,which costs the average American at least$8,000 a year according to
a study by AAA. Even those who commute by car like to have the option of using light rail for
TIGARD CITY CCDA/COUNCIL MINUTES -JUNE 7, 2016
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov Page 3 of 11
getting to special events, concerts or a Timbers game. A light tail station downtown makes it more
likely that people living there will have fewer cars and more people will find the area an attractive
place to live. Since having a light rail station in the downtown will increase the desire to live there we
can also expect the rents may increase which would help ensure that the compact,multi-family
housing that we have been planning for will pencil out for developers. A light rail station makes
sense in the downtown and people living there will help accommodate the city's expected growth,
protect existing neighborhoods and create activity on downtown streets including economic activity
for downtown businesses. A light rail station downtown will make it easier and more likely that
people will work, shop and come without a car to events downtown,which makes the scarce
parking on Main Street available for those who really need it.
In addition,the SW Corridor shared investment projects for bicycle and pedestrian improvements
will support using active modes to access downtown. An accessible downtown is an active
downtown. She summarized that the SW Corridor light rail line and shared investment program will
support alternatives to personal vehicle use downtown which in turn supports the higher density
options that we want for the area. Downtown will benefit from increased activity related to the light
rail station and increased accessibility for residents, employers and visitors. A downtown light rail
station offering rapid and reliable transit will help make downtown Tigard a more attractive place for
people to live,work,play and shop.
Elise Shearer, 9980 SW Johnson Street, Tigard, OR spoke on the proposed ballot measure. She
asked that council keep the ballot measure language as clear and simple as possible about a vote on
light rail as well as answering requirements in the short statement. We know the SW Corridor is
about a lot more projects than just light rail. That can be gone into within the explanatory statement
and hopefully citizens will read the entire thing. Support for light rail coming into Tigard will allow
the other contingent projects to be built. Without it,nothing will come into our city and we let
down the five other communities currently driving through Tigard as well. Tigard is the hub of the
SW Corridor wheel. If light rail is not built as a transportation alternative to relieve the traffic
congestion which we deal with now (and will only get worse in the future) we let down future
generations for whom we are entrusted to plan.
Tim Esau, 12247 SW 114`h Terrace,Tigard,OR. Mr. Esau thanked the council for putting this
measure together in the spirit of the ballot measure and the change to Charter Section 53. He said
council knows what his activities were on that and he appreciated them seeking to fulfill the spirit of
that Charter change. He has done the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) records requests to
follow up and appreciates the city putting out the statements as required in the Charter language.
Pertaining to the ballot title he thought the succinct title statement is great. The city is pretty much
hitting the points item by item but it is not clear what the amendments to land use,impacts to
wetlands and impacts to industrial zone are. It does not say what they ate just that they happen and
he would like to seem quantification or clarification on what that means. The ballot also states that
no traffic lanes on Pacific Highway will be impacted yet the drawings still show it running down
Pacific Highway, not necessarily in Tigard. He gets that it veers off but Pacific Highway runs all the
way to Portland and it is disingenuous to say it doesn't run on Pacific Highway,when in fact it does,
within the five mile range, or at least crosses it. He said council needs to be clear on that. While the
impacts of 2 to 5 percent capacity reductions along the roadways are cited,there is language thrown
in about adding capacity in Tigard and reducing it in Portland. That does not clarify the actual
amounts and from his perspective looks like Tigard is trying to slant the ballot title in that regard.
TIGARD CITY CCDA/COUNCIL MINUTES -JUNE 7, 2016
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov Page 4 of 11
His main concern is Portion A of the original Charter change where it states that the City of Tigard
as a matter of public policy should oppose construction of new high capacity transit. That portion
has not been clarified in any of the ordinances and the definition of oppose would be a good item to
add to Section B. It seems to him that the city council does not know what"oppose construction"
means because construction can cover many phases of planning,preparation,preliminary
engineering,right of way access, etc.,and he has yet to see any opposition on the part of the city to
live up to the spirit of that part of the Charter.
Kevin Watkins, 11330 SW Viewmount Court,Tigard, OR said he was present to gather information
in order to understand this process better. He is involved with the TTAC but is representing himself
tonight. Transportation projects are sobering because there is a lot of uncertainty and they are very
capital intensive. Now we are looking at a very large transportation project with huge amounts of
capital,lots of lead time,and a lot of uncertainty now and well into the future. These are daunting
challenges for all of us and Tigard citizens will need to grapple with this. He said the question
cannot be dodged and he commended the council for taking this head on. His hope is that the in
the ballot measure council keeps a clear, straightforward focus and factual information. Focus on
the task at hand so people can base their decision on factual information rather than
misinformation. He said he is asked about this often and there is a great deal of interest in the
community.
Robert Van Vlack, 15585 SW 109`''Avenue,Tigard, OR. He said being a member of the Tigard
Transportation Advisory Commission got him to do a lot of transportation reading and studying.
He said there is information put out by an advisor talking about how light rail reduces auto capacity
on the roads but other studies suggest the opposite. Light rail actually takes people off the buses
and puts them onto light rail. He mentioned that while he understands the opportunities for
redevelopment light rail in the downtown would bring such as multi-family housing. But he also sees
that members of other communities-Tualatin, Sherwood and maybe even Newberg—are going to
be travelling to downtown to catch the light rail. He does not know where all those cars will park.A
huge influx of cars into downtown Tigard may create a larger problem than we have already.
Council Discussion:
Director Snider said he heard a theme asking the city to be as clear and simple as possible. He
suggested tightening the caption and the question and be clear that it is Max light rail. He asked if it
was necessary to use the words,high capacity transit corridor since people in this part of the country
may not know what that is but they understand what a MAX line is. He asked the City Attorney to
be prepared to respond to the questions Mr. Esau raised on whether the last paragraph of the
summary complies with Charter Section 53 and prepare an interpretation. He mentioned that if a
requirement is to list the road capacity impacts for both Portland and Tigard he did not think the
city did that.
Director Woodard said there if"to include downtown Tigard"is added to the question there needs
to also be the words "including the Ash Street crossing loop." He said if that is not said it did not
make sense to go ahead with everything else it is going to do such as losing businesses. He said we
know we risk losing businesses but it would be worth it if we can get that crossing in the project. He
expressed concerns about east-west circulation and parking in the downtown. If speculative
development is desired they will want to see that circulation. He said if those words are not added
he would rather it just say"through Tigard" and see what happens. He stated he will continue his
fight,which started in 2011 for an Ash Creek crossing.

Director Henderson encouraged anyone interested in this to look at the Cityscape page which lists
35 dates where the SWC topic has been discussed. He recommended skimming it to see what has
happened over the last 3-4 years.
Director Goodhouse said the ballot title language needs to be kept clean and concise and
understandable to the public. He favored including the words "to downtown Tigard," and wanted
clarification of"between two and five percent."
Chair Cook said council will continue to work on the wording with the goal to meet the deadline for
referring this to the November ballot and the public is invited to send in their comments.
4. RECEIVE BROWNFIELD UPDATE
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly presented the staff report on this item. He showed a slide
of the area and noted that the CCDA recently received two $200,000 Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) grants to clean up the underutilized Main Street Fanno Creek properties. This
funding will play a crucial role in redeveloping them into a mixed use building and public space
overlooking Fanno Creek. EPA funds are typically made available in the fall. He will be submitting
a draft plan to EPA this week which includes community engagement centering around public
health, clean up planning,cleanup activities including testing, demolition and if necessary, soil
removal, and obtaining a No Further Action (NFA) letter from the Department of Environmental
Quality. The redevelopment supports urban renewal's goal of downtown revitalization.
An RFP for environmental cleanup will be issued in the fall. We have spent$128,000 for outreach,
an inventory of potential sites in the downtown area and six assessments. A phase one assessment is
also being done on the Nicoli property and the Tigard Transit Center, currently under study for a
mixed use development.There are a few other sites being looked at on Hall Boulevard and Highway
99W after an interested property owner approached staff at a brownfields public meeting. Staff
determined they would also need to assess the neighboring property which was the old auto repair
station on 99W and Hall Boulevard purchased by Washington County for the intersection
improvement. Staff is also using the assessment grant to look at the Hunziker industrial commercial
core where the city is proposing to build a road to assist with that development.
Mr. Farrelly said staff is currently developing additional outreach materials including direct mail and
an improved web page, to communicate with property owners,particularly those in the inventoried
area. The materials share the benefits of participating in cleaning up contaminated properties,
particularly those contaminated with petroleum as those funds are the most difficult to spend
because it is only one substance. The "hazardous materials" term covers everything else. Of the
$400,000 grants funding,$200,000 is for petroleum cleanup and$200,000 is for everything else.
Chair Cook asked about helping with brownfields in areas not in the downtown and asked how
close the Agency was in spending the $200,000 for non-petroleum cleanup. He mentioned a contact
from a property owner who is not in the downtown. Mr. Farrelly said he spoke with that person but
said the areas of current focus were for employment,industrial and mixed-use lands. He said they
might not be able to spend all of the petroleum grant portion depending on which property owners
come forward. He said a citizen group developed criteria and using that, the residential area did not

rank very high but he will reconnect with him in a few months once he sees how things are
allocated.
Director Henderson mentioned the dance studio property that has some fertilizer contamination
and asked if a property still qualifies if they have two different contaminants. Mr. Farrelly said if
petroleum mixes in with hazardous material it is kicked into the hazardous category. He understands
that either the current owner or previous owner cannot have been responsible for the pollution so
that makes it even more difficult to expend the funds in some cases.
Director Henderson asked about the Yu property which is adjacent to Washington County property.
Mr. Farrelly said the county has been monitoring it since they building was removed and are
interested in knowing more about the site. Director Henderson said he was concerned with the
contamination spreading under the highway.
5. INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING: FISCAL YEAR 2016 CCDA FOURTH QUARTER
BUDGET
Senior Management Analyst Collins presented the staff report and said this supplemental is for a few
budget cleanup items. There is a request for$15,300 to pay property taxes for the city-owned
property known as the Ferguson property.The other is $10,000 for escrow and title fees for the sale
of the Ash and Burnham properties.
Chair Cook asked why the taxes were not budgeted and whether staff has to bill the property owner
and then come back for the next quarter to account for the reimbursement. Ms. Collins said there
are protocols in place to handle billing the lessor. Director Snider asked why the city-owned
property is not tax exempt. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly responded that the property is
not tax exempt because it is being rented out to a commercial entity. Finance and Information
Services Director LaFrance said Exhibit A shows that the revenues are being budgeted for this fiscal
year and there is no impact to the health of the agency fund. Staff was under the impression that the
lessor would be paying the taxes but they did not this year.
Director Snider moved to approved CCDA Resolution No. 16-01 and his motion was seconded by
Director Goodhouse. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the resolution.

ORDINANCE
a. Mayor Cook opened the public hearing and announced that anyone wishing to testify should
sign in on the form provided at the front of the room.
b. Assistant Public Works Director Wright and Parks Manager Martin gave the staff report
regarding a proposed ordinance that will allow the Public Works Director to set fees and
charges for the recreation program. Mr. Martin said this was discussed on May 17, 2016 at a
council workshop and staff was directed to bring this back for consideration. Staff
recommends that this ordinance be passed because it would allow moving more quickly in
setting fees and charges for classes and negotiate with contractors teaching the classes. Ms.
Wright said there is no current authority for the city to award scholarships and language
allowing that is included in the ordinance.
C. Public Testimony: No one signed up to speak. Mayor Cook asked the audience if there was
anyone wishing to speak. No one came forward.
d. Council questions: Mayor Cook noted that staff covered this topic well at the workshop and
council got their questions answered.

7. LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD: BRIEFING ON PROCESS FOR CIVIC CENTER
CONTRACT—
Contracts Manager Barrett and Assistant City Engineer McMillan presented this item. Mr. Barrett
said this is a review of a contract process for the civic center visioning project. He said coming to
the next council meeting will be a request for a public hearing for an exemption to public
contracting rules. Staff will be asking for an exemption from the formal QBS process and extending
the direct appointment to a dollar level at this threshold.
LCRB Chair Cook asked for an oveview of the project so the public could also hear what it is about.
Assistant City Engineer McMillan introduced Jeff McGraw of MWA Architects. She said staff put
together an ideal team to quickly define a civic center visioning for a 20-year span that could be
packaged for the bond effort. This will be a very precise effort that will involve a lot of public
involvement and outreach. Several sub-consultants have been identified to work with them. Mr.
McGraw distributed to council a timeline which has been added to the record for this meeting.
LCRB Chair Cook clarified for the audience what the bond package was. He said that through the
budget process the Budget Committee recommended going out to the voters on two different
options; one a local option levy and a bond measure to raise capital. One involves operating costs
and one is for capital so they must be separate. This civic center contract is for the capital project.
MWA Architect McGraw said this project began as a much broader one for City of Tigard facilities
but has distilled down to the civic center site. There is a long list of potential program items (police
station,community center, etc.) sited on this property and the study is an attempt to put together the
right consultants to quickly study it. The first stage is a programming study and high overview of
the current and future needs of each entity.There will be consultants that specialize in"futuring" (an
idea of how the future will and should behave in the 20-year horizon). He said there will be public
involvement and opinion research for people to do polling for a bond.
Mr. McGraw said the outcome will be a document with cost estimates, coordinated with public
involvement and a public research effort so that what is placed before the citizens of Tigard has a
high probability of passing. LCRB Chair Cook clarified it would not be the November 2016 election;
the date is still to be determined.
LCRB Member Woodard asked staff to explain to the people in the audience what the QBS process
is. Contracts Manager Barrett said staff did a formal QBS (Qualifications-Based Selection) process
and had a well-attended pre-proposal meeting but only proposal was received. The review
committee deemed it a non-responsive proposal. We found that we needed to assemble a team to
do this type of work. In response to a question from LCRB Member Woodard about past work
experience,MWA Architect McGraw said he has been in this business for 28 years,in three regions.
He has been with this company since its inception. He said their work is urban scale and includes
housing,industrial complexes, airports and convention centers. His role has been to guide large
projects on the west coast. He said the previous RFP was broad reaching and had little scopes of
work for many people. This has been narrowed down to one site. He said his firm is very familiar
with large,urban development and just received the Mayor's Award in housing for a project in
Portland called the Stephens Creek Crossing. In response to a question from LCRB Member
Woodard Mr. Barrett said the cost savings with this exemption from the public contracting rules are
immeasurable. He said, "This is the way to go."

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov Pale 9 of 11
Councilor Henderson asked about the number of people involved and if the teams are firms. Mr.
McGraw said the teams are firms including a primary team to address land use,public involvement,
real estate, opinion research, and data gathering. A secondary team will include mechanical,
structural, and civil engineers;cost consultants, a parking consultant,a traffic consultant and for the
police aspect,a security consultant. Councilor Henderson asked if the budget was $300,000. Mr.
Barrett said the actual cost will be significantly higher than the$300,000 external and$50,000
internal and staff will be bringing the full cost before council on June 14. He said there are reserve
funds available in the Facilities Capital Fund that can be used through a first quarter supplemental
budget. Councilor Henderson said, "We are building a $30 million dollar house. How much will it
cost in the long run, double that?" Mr. McGraw replied that if the project timeline is followed and it
goes to a vote in November 2017 it will still probably take two more years to design. He said even a
cost engineer would have a hard time knowing the answer. There is a labor and materials problem
in the Pacific Northwest and bids are coming in high. This time to assemble the project and get it
designed will be better served than a project that is bid ready right now. He predicted that future
labor and construction costs will even out in the Pacific Northwest.
The assembled team will give guidance on how to package it,what to include on the site,what
makes sense. He is not sure a performing arts center fits on the site and may be better downtown.A
police station is probably a good function for this site;a city hall still is. We will get good feedback
on what it is,what the components are,what should be here compared to another urban site.
Assistant City Engineer McMillan said Central Services Manager Robinson will start a building
assessment study in July that will serve two purposes. One is to determine if the current buildings
can be remodeled and the other is in the event a bond measure is not successful, to identify what
items will need repair. She noted that several building repair issues were discussed at a recent Budget
Committee meeting.
8. NON AGENDA ITEMS: City Manager Wine said the city received word today that a $452,000
Oregon State Parks Local Government Grant was awarded for the Dirksen Nature Park shelter and

ISSUE
Update on Main Street/Fanno Creek (Saxony) site redevelopment project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
The Board of the CCDA is requested to share their feedback on the project.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Since the May 3 update to the CCDA Board, there has been significant progress on the Main
Street/Fanno Creek redevelopment project.
EPA Cleanup Grant
As the Board is aware, the City Center Development Agency was awarded two $200,000
grants to cleanup the two Main Street/Fanno Creek properties in May. Staff has been working
with EPA staff on developing a work plan and schedule for the grant funded project. The
grant-funded activities will include public engagement, clean-up planning, clean-up
implementation, and obtaining a No Further Action Letter from DEQ. The preliminary
schedule has contractors being engaged in November, 2016 and clean-up implementation
starting in May 2017.
CWS Service Provider Letter
The city received the Service Provider Letter (SPL) from Clean Water Services on July 18. An
SPL must be obtained prior to land use review if a project potentially impacts the vegetated
corridor. CWS reviewed the natural resource documentation provided by the city's consultant
and approved encroachment into the vegetated corridor under conditions (including
mitigating the impact elsewhere in the Fanno Creek area and enhancing the degraded natural
features on site.) The public will benefit by building a public deck overlooking the creek with a
watershed education feature.
Land Use
Resolve Architecture has been working on plans to obtain land use approval for the
envisioned redevelopment on the Main Street/Fanno Creek site. The entitled site would then
be marketed for development. The application was submitted on July 21. The application
materials and associated reports, including a traffic study and a "no-rise" analysis, are currently
under review by Tigard Planning staff. The project is scheduled to go before the Hearings
Officer on September 19.
ODOT ROW
In June and July staff met with ODOT to discuss use of adjacent ODOT right-of-way to
allow access to the rear of the future building. ODOT agreed to start the surplus process for
approximately a 16 foot wide strip of the right-of-way. The Agency is obtaining a survey of
the area, which will start the formal ODOT surplus process.
Tenant Relocation
One of the tenants leasing the property,Automotive Drive Train,will be entitled to relocation
expenses from the Agency, in accordance with Federal, State, and Agency requirements.
These payments will include actual moving costs and up to $25,000 to reestablish the
business in a new location (including paying any difference in the new monthly rent for up to
two years). Automotive Drive Train was given a 90-day notice to vacate with a September 7

ISSUE
Update on Downtown Urban Lofts Project, funded by Metro Community Planning and
Development Grant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
The Board of the CCDA is requested to share their feedback on the project.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
On March 1, 2016 Council authorized the City Manager to sign an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with Metro to receive 5100,000 in Community Planning and Development
Grant (CPDG) funds. The grant award is for the Downtown Tigard Urban Lofts
Development project funding pre-development feasibility work for a mixed use/affordable
housing development on two adjacent downtown properties: a 0.45 acre privately owned site
fronting Main Street (the "Nicoli site") and the 0.81 acre Tigard Transit Center property
owned by TriMet.
The initial task for the project is to collaborate with TriMet on a reconfiguration plan for the
Transit Center. If the SW Corridor Project brings a light rail station to Downtown, the transit
center operations will need to be reconfigured. If light rail does not come to Downtown, the
operations could still possibly be redesigned to allow some of the transit center property to be
incorporated into a mixed use redevelopment. Transit planners Jarrett Walker and Associates
QWA) were engaged to lead the reconfiguration plan. TriMet's objectives for the plan are:
•No Increase to operating cost caused by additional turnarounds that add time to bus runs
•Maintain easy pedestrian connections between buses, WES, and potential light rail service
•Maintain sufficient bus capacity for future growth in bus service
JWA did a comprehensive existing conditions of the Transit Center report and proposed six
options for Transit Center operations reconfiguration. After a meeting with TriMet and city
staff, three options were chosen for further study:
•Option 1- Use part of the existing facility, as well as adjacent parcels on the same site of
Commercial St for an off-street or hybrid facility
•Option 2 - Develop an on-street facility on Commercial St
•Option 3 - Develop an optimal facility adjacent to an Ash Street light rail alignment
Jarrett Walker and Associates will further refine these options and meet again with city and
TriMet staff. The final recommendations report will be completed by September 30th.
The city recently issued an Informal Request for Proposals for predevelopment feasibility
work, including real estate market study, architectural concepts and cost estimates. A team
consisting of Johnson Economics, SERA Architects, and H&A Construction were selected.
This work will utilize the reconfiguration study and develop three conceptual site plans:
A. A project on the Nicoli Site and a portion of the Transit Center
B. A project on both sites
C. A project that incorporates Transit Center functions, wholly or partially
underneath a built structure
The site will be studied for suitability for different types of housing including market rate,
workforce and affordable. The site may be considered as an opportunity site for additional
study if the city's recently applied for Equitable Housing Planning and Development Grant is
funded.
The Board of the CCDA will receive regular updates on the project including a presentation
on the final recommendations
