He asked Mr.Westin how confident he is in the cost estimate for Tigard's participation,because city council was given estimates that were in the$300,000 -$500,000 range to get the required work done,including significant staff oversight. Mr.Westin replied that it is only costing King City approximately $100,000 to do their entire area from scratch and Tigard would not have to start from scratch. Council President Snider said it would be appropriate for Council to have further discussions at a later time on this matter. Jamie Stasny, 17933 NW Evergreen Parkway,Beaverton,OR 97005,property owner in River Terrace, talked about the area outside the Urban Growth Boundary and explained they can't develop this land until it's brought into the UGB and would like City Council to add this to their council goals and work with King City on bringing this area into the UGB. She said this should be a high priority and the preliminary cost estimates are reasonable costs. Paul Grove,Portland Home Builders, 15555 Bangy Road,Lake Oswego,OR,thanked Mayor Cook for attending the recent ground breaking ceremony. He talked about the concept planning for River Terrace South and how this is a unique opportunity for King City and Tigard to have an active partnership and create a stronger voice with Metro. Charissa Jones,7195 SW 164`x'Terrace,Beaverton,OR 97007,Environmental Educator for Tualatin Riverkeepers,talked about Dirksen Nature Park and funds the city received from Metro and the Oregon Water Shed Enhancement Board to purchase the 48 acres that make up Dirksen Park with the caveat that environmental education be at the forefront of activities. She explained when the park was created the Tualatin Riverkeepers helped the city put together a Request for Proposal (RFP) for environmental education opportunities and that Tualatin Riverkeepers was the only group to submit a proposal. She requested the city continue to support environmental education as a focal point at Dirksen Nature Park,and pointed out that if the city chooses not to continue its partnership with Tualatin Riverkeepers,the city would need to go out for another RFP for environmental education due to the mandate from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. Council President Snider said the city believes the partnership with Tualatin Riverkeepers is a good one and hopes to continue the partnership. 3. CONSENT AGENDA A.

Staff feels comfortable in vacating this since the street will not go through the vegetative corridor or wetlands area. Mayor Cook said when he initially looked at this,it looked like it was intended to go through the wetlands,but since that will not happen he doesn't have any problem vacating it.

CONSIDER ADOPTION OF CITY COUNCIL GOALS Assistant City Manager Newton gave the staff report on this item. She explained that on January 23 council met in a goal setting meeting to focus on goals for the upcoming two-year period. She said these are goals that would set council priorities and areas council want to focus on,but are not exclusive to everything the city will be working on during the next two-year period. She went through the six goals: • Advance a local option levy and facility bond to voters that would increase resources and space for day to day services. • Expand recreation opportunities for the people of Tigard. • Make Downtown Tigard a place where people want to be. • Pursue development of light rail along the Southwest Corridor. • Implement the Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan. • Annex territories into the city. Ms. Newton explained the decision making process council went through to come up with the six goals and why some things were left off at this time. Mayor Cook explained what council discussed at their goals setting meeting and why they chose six goals to focus on. He said staff and council will do much more than what is outlined in each of the six goals,but that these are the specific goals staff is expected to get done in the next two years. Mayor Cook asked staff why there is no time line associated with some of the goals and why some goals have more details included in the report than others. Ms. Newton explained the report would be longer if staff outlined all the steps for each goal,but that a work plan could be attached. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — March 7, 2017 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of 7 Council President Snider agreed with Mayor Cook in that some goals look disproportionate due to the lack of details. Councilor Goodhouse agreed. Ms. Newton said she would have staff add more details on those that were lacking enough detail. Councilor Goodhouse stated he would like to see the date for completion on"Issues for Future Council Direction"changed from 2017-2019 to 2017-2021,since council had agreed these items would be on the table,but are not included in the actual goals. Council President Snider suggested there may be an opportunity to have further discussions with King City once Tigard has looked at a cost analysis of how much money would be needed for Tigard to participate in the Urban Growth Boundary Expansion with King City. He said that staff had given a clear explanation of this cost during council's goals meeting and those costs were much higher than what King City believes it will take. Ms. Newton said she spoke with the City Manager of King City earlier in the day and suggested King City submit something that shows what each city needs to do and costs associated with moving forward. Mayor Cook explained he has a few meetings scheduled with the City Manager of King City and Ms. Stasny within the next week where they will be discussing this. Councilor Goodhouse said that with this item being on the list of"Issues for Future Council Direction,"it gives them the opportunity to look at it,but doesn't necessarily commit staff time. Councilor Anderson agreed and said it was always the intent to bring this area into the city,but there are other issues staff brought forward during the council goals meeting that council felt should be accomplished first. He is all for looking at it again. Mayor Cook agreed,it was always the intent to look at this later,but would like to see it happen sooner than later. He explained there are still unknowns,but with the addition of the Title 11 plans, the city wouldn't be doing everything they had to do with River Terrace and because of this,once the city adds this to their goals it will not take ten years like River Terrace did. He said the ten-year period could shrink down to possibly one,two or three years,so that even if Tigard waited three years,it wouldn't take ten years after that to complete because of the new requirements. Mayor Cook explained the city hasn't figured out a way to finance the operational costs of River Terrace and this is a big issue,and then to include River Terrace South would additionally complicate financing costs. He said council needs to solve short-range financing problems first. Council President Snider said that any kind of motion needs to include the amendments to the timeline as referenced above and additional details to the Triangle goal. Council President Snider motioned to adopt city council goals as amended and Councilor Goodhouse seconded the motion. Mayor Cook conducted a roll call vote and the motion passed unanimously.
