year. Bill spoke with Kathy Budny who also would like to be reappointed .
John discussed the resolution which eliminated the at-large positions in the
Cpmmittee. He suggested that further expansion of the Committee is an
option. Residency requirements have been relaxed to allow more opportunity
for out.-of town residents operating Tigard businesses to be members.

meetings who later can be considered for membership as openings arise.

has one ex-.-officio non--voting member called for in the resolution.
John noted that the EDC Open House was held on March 26. It was sparsely
attended, however, input was valuable. Peggy suggested that a topic oriented
meeting concerning an item such an the Pont Office traffic impact could
generate more participation by local businesses .
Valerie reported on the seminar on revitalizing Main Street which she and Bill
attended. 'Tracks of study were real estate, marketing, and retailing. The
seminar centered on economic development potential . She emphasized that
future annexations to Tigard will probably be of residential land. As a
result, the commercial and industrial vacant land will gain in importance-. .
Maximum use must be made of commercial particularly when re..-use is involved.
She noted some recent business investments which have upgraded properties.
Peggy noted that the "Creation of Jobs" information prepared by the Planning
staff was valuable and received good distribution.
The Planning staff updated the Committee on the status of action plans . The
staff will meet with NPO #4 to discuss Tigard Triangle issues. Issues such as
area identification, how to market the area, and the public improvements
needed were noted . John Acker is taking the lead on this project. The status
of the Cascade Boulevard study was discussed at an earlier meeting. John is
working on a marketing plan. He will be working with the Committeu to develop

Amo noted that the Committee role is to react to the staff plans . The staff
will develop a draft committee workplan for consideration at the May meeting.
The Committee was concerned that the Main Street budget was not included in
the capital improvement plan (CIP) budget adopted by the City Council . Bill
noted that the project is still being considered, however•, the staff is
awaiting direction from the City Center Plan 'Task f=orce before completing any
CIP project elements. The scope of some projects in the downtown could be
modified by the plan formed by the Task Force.
Peggy noted that the City will be enforcing the sign code in 1988 to eliminate
nonconforming signs resulting from code changes made by the City in 1978 . She
suggested that the City concentrate on distributing information early which
describes the City' s approach, how someone can gain compliance with the code,
and fees. She suggested that the Chamber would help to distribute
information. The Committee will draft a .letter to Valerie Johnson and the
Council expressing concern relating to the sign code and its impact on local
businesses .
Peggy reported on the Tigard/Beaverton Chamber• Trade Show scheduled on
April 29 at the Koll Center.
