3. Comments from the Audience
Marland Henderson, 13293 SW Woodshire Lane, spoke to board as a representative
of the Tigard Noon Rotary. The Rotary would like to propose a partnership with the
City of Tigard. Their interest is in a project in Downtown Tigard, perhaps something
to do with the Tigard Street Trail project. Mr. Henderson will come back for next
month's meeting with a proposal.
Neal Brown, 13853 SW Boxelder Street, praised the city for the two new
neighborhood parks in River Terrace. He is very impressed with the parks amenities.
Steve Martin said that Polygon planned and constructed the parks while meeting with
the city along the way to share the plans. The parks will eventually be maintained by
the city.
4. Discuss Items from Previous Meetings
There were no discussion items from previous meetings.
5. Discussion with TTSD Representative
Barry Albertson, representative for the Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD)
distributed a TTSD news report. This report is on file in the PRAB meeting record.
Some of the highlights of the report were:
■ Two of Tigard's elementary schools, Alberta Rider & Deer Creek, now have no-
homework policies.
• Provision for transgender restrooms and locker rooms in schools will need to be
addressed.
• Upcoming Ballot Measures 97, 98, and 99 could provide funding for schools.
• TTSD's November 8 Bond Measure includes project costs of$291,315,000. If
approved, the current tax rate would increase by 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed
value.

In response to an inquiry from Holly Polivka, Mr. Albertson said that—if the bond
passes—there should be times when the building left at Templeton Elementary could
be used by the city for Parks & Rec programming. Tim Pepper said that the board will
encourage Anthony Markey, Recreation Coordinator, to approach school officials
regarding that possibility.
The board expressed appreciation for the information Mr. Albertson provided and
would like to make periodic adjustments in the PRAB meeting schedule to
accommodate Mr. Albertson's schedule.
6. CIP Items and PRAB Priorities
Toraj Khavari, president of Friends of Bull Mountain Park (FBMP), passed out a
handout outlining the need for additional support from the city to complete the
construction of Bull Mountain Park. This document is on file in the PRAB meeting
record. $40,000 in additional support from the city would be a piece of the puzzle
needed to meet the budget for completion of the park.
In response to an inquiry from Tim Pepper, Mr. Khavari explained that there are two
reasons these additional funds were not included in the CIP:
1. Meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance regulations drove
costs up.
2. Estimates turned out to be below the actual cost.
The board expressed their desire to support the FBMP and provide the additional
funds. This discussion will be continued at the next PRAB meeting.
Lina Smith, Community Development Assistant Planner, provided a PowerPoint
slide presentation on Metzger Elementary School Park Update: Community
Outreach Efforts. A copy of the presentation is on file in the PRAB meeting record.
These are some of the updates provided:
• The consultant team focused on building relationships with the community.
• Three design concepts were provided for feedback at the Metzger Elementary
Back-to-School Night
• The draft master plan will be presented at the SupaFresh Harvest Festival on
Wednesday, October 12, from 3-6 p.m.
Steve Martin gave a brief overview each of the CIP projects under consideration for
FY 2018-2023. The list of projects was included in the PRAB meeting packet. The
board can add projects to the list and will rank items on the list in order of

Detweiler later this week to devise a plan for inclusive play equipment at Cook Park.
