TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2017
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 2 of 14
hours. Finance and Public Works staff met with Ms. Motley and confirmed that the city
does not turn water on during non-business hours in non-emergency situations. Failure to
pay a bill is not seen as an emergency situation. They also confirmed that Public Works will
be bringing forward a proposal to add a fee to the Master Fees and Charges Schedule for
turning water back on during non-business hours. Ms. Motley plans to send a letter of
support for the proposed fee. The council will be discussing Master Fees and Charges
Schedule tonight and Ms. Wine noted that if council wishes, they may discuss this proposed
fee tonight. Council President Snider asked for clarification on what the definition of
emergency was in this instance. Utility Manager Goodrich remarked that the city currently
responds and turns on water after hours for "snowbirds"who forget to tell the city when
they are returning to Tigard. For delinquent customers the decision was made to not
respond because if it not an emergency. There is a cost to the city for providing service
during non-business hours. He said in discussions with Public Works Director Rager and
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance a pragmatic approach of splitting this
cost 50/50 with the customer was explored. They arrived at the figure of$65 which is about
half of the cost. It would be up to the customer to decide if they wanted this after hours
service.
B. Tigard High School Envoy
Tigard High School Envoy Lauren Brown gave her last report of the school year and
introduced next year's envoy, Student Body Vice President Sierra Kruse. Ms. Brown said the
prom was a success. Graduation was held last Friday and 443 students graduated. There
were 28 valedictorians this year, the most in THS history. Tigard High made the playoffs in
every spring sport this year. Council had a resolution prepared expressing their
appreciation for Ms. Brown and Council President Snider moved for adoption of Resolution
No. 17-24. Councilor Anderson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 14
Lizzie advanced to the Oregon State 6A tournament and on May 20 she
brought home the Girls Singles Tennis State Championship to Tigard High.
The THS Athletic Director noted that since the OSAA began registering tennis
champions in 1946,Tigard has never earned a tennis title—until Lizzie.
• Junior Braden Lenzy is a gifted young athlete who excels in more than one sport and
is making Tigard proud. As one of Oregon's all-time best sprinters, Braden earned
the State 6A Boys Track and Field Championship in the 400-meter dash for the
second straight year. He also finished 2nd in the 200-meter dash, 4`h in the 100-meter
dash and 6`''in the 4x400 relay.
Mayor Cook congratulated both students and presented then with a Tigard mug.

6. CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT AMENDMENT WITH METRO AND ODOT FOR THE FANNO CREEK
TRAIL PROJECT
Senior Transportation Engineer McCarthy gave the staff report on an amendment to the existing
IGA with ODOT and Metro. This project will build four portions of the Fanno Creek Trail:
1) New trail from Woodard Park to Grant Street
2) Replacement Trail from Ash Avenue to Hall Boulevard
3) New trail from the Tigard Library to Bonita Road
4) New trail from 85`h Avenue to the Ki-a-Kuts Bridge to Tualatin
Engineer McCarthy said the IGA must be administrated by ODOT because federal funds are
being used. This amendment covers a slight change in the funding,inclusion of ODOT-
mandated language about the Americans with Disabilities Act, clarification on trail width and
extension of dates. He said staff sees no significant changes in the contract and the city attorney
completed a legal review and found no reason to object to signing it. Engineer McCarthy
clarified that the fourth segment fills in the trail from the southern end of Hall Boulevard to the
Tualatin River.
Councilor Woodard moved to approve the intergovernmental agreement with ODOT and
Metro and Councilor Anderson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

7. CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A PROPOSED MEMORANDUM
OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN LAKE OSWEGO JTIGARD WATER PARTNERSHIP
AND NORTH CLACKAMAS COUNTY WATER COMMISSION
Utility Manager Goodrich gave the staff report. The Lake Oswego and Tigard Water Partnership
(Partnership) funded and constructed a water system to supply drinking water to the two cities.
This construction allowed the Partnership to discontinue use of existing water transmission
pipelines. A pipeline installed in 1968 was evaluated and found to be in reasonable condition.
The North Clackamas County Water Commission (NCCWC) would like to use the remnant
pipeline to convey emergency water supply to its members. The Memorandum of Understanding
between the Partnership and the NCCWC pertains to reimbursement to the Partnership of
money spent to facilitate future use of the transmission line and declares to each party good faith
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2017
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.dgard-or.gov I Page 5 of 14
ownership and maintenance of the emergency water supply project. The City of Lake Oswego
voted to recommend their mayor sign the MOU. This agreement has not gone to the oversight
committee but will when it is in final form so their feedback can be received.
Councilor Woodard asked if the pump system was using the pipe. Mr. Goodrich said it was a
capped pipe and the NCCWC would need to pay for improvements in order to connect to the
Partnership water. This agreement covers reimbursement to the Partnership for monies spent to
make sure that the line was viable for repurposing. Council President Snider asked if the pipe
could be used to convey water in both directions. Utility Manager Goodrich responded that it
could be bi-directional. He said if their facility failed,they could access Partnership water under
emergency conditions.
Councilor Anderson moved to authorize the mayor to sign the proposed Memorandum of
Agreement between Lake Oswego/Tigard Water Partnership and North Clackamas County
Water Commission. Council President Snider seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.

8. CERTIFY THAT THE CITY OF TIGARD PROVIDES SERVICES QUALIFYING FOR
STATE-SHARED REVENUES—RESOLUTION
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance gave general information on the 2017-18
budget. He said it has been a public process that began last August and has involved staff from
every department, the Leadership Team and some boards and committees. He thanked
everyone involved, especially Senior Management Analyst Barrett and Confidential Executive
Assistant Lutz,who stepped up to help in the vacancy of the budget analyst position. He said
there are 87 CIP projects to be done over the next six years and there are 15 projects to advance
the city's strategic plan in this budget. He said the budget hits the top five projects from both the
Transportation Advisory Committee and the Park and Recreation Advisory Board. The budget
advances the exploration of a local option levy. It is a continuation of past status quo budgets and
is fiscally responsible.
Mr. LaFrance said there is still the case that the cost of General Fund Services (police,library,
community building aspects,parks) continues to grow faster than revenues. He projected a graph
illustrating the expenses and revenues forecast. He pointed out the reserves line and said the
graph will always show a decline in reserves as the revenues do not keep up with expenses. It
does not take into account future decisions and assumptions. River Terrace and infill will bring
in revenue and this is included in the forecast. But because future decisions are not included
about new or increased rates or additional staff to take care of additional service demands, the
result is a decline in erosion of service levels. He said it is not a growth problem. Without River
Terrace there would be an even wider gap. Growth is mitigating the financial situation. He said
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2017
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 6 of 14
the graph shows what would happen if the city tries to keep services at the same level that we
have at the 2018 budget year into the future. The difference between revenues and expenses
widens. He said this is fiscally unsustainable and the Budget Committee explored going out for a
local option levy. This is one of the items funded in the budget this year.
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said the first of five items up for
consideration is a resolution certifying that Tigard provides services qualifying for state shared
revenues. The revenue comes from the cigarette tax,liquor tax and state gas tax. He said the
State of Oregon requires that in order to receive these shared revenues, cities must provide more
than four of the services listed in ORS 221.760. Tigard provides six of the seven services: police
protection; street construction,maintenance and lighting; sanitary sewers; storm sewers;planning,
zoning and subdivision control; and water utility.
Council President Snider moved for approval of Resolution No. 17-25 and Councilor
Goodhouse seconded the motion.

c. Staff Report—Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said this resolution
must be passed by council in order for the city to receive state revenue sharing. The
revenue source is an additional amount of state liquor tax. Other requirements are a public
hearing and levying taxes the preceding year. A public hearing on this item was held at the
May 1, 2017 Budget Committee meeting. The anticipated amount of this revenue is
$550,000.

10. INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING:ADOPT CITYWIDE MASTER FEES AND
CHARGES SCHEDULE REPLACING RESOLUTION NO. 04-99 AND RESOLUTION NO.
17-27 AND ALL SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS TO DATE
a. Mayor Cook opened the public hearing.
b. Mayor Cook announced that any person wishing to comment shall be given the opportunity.
c. Staff Report—Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance and Senior
Management Analyst Barrett gave the staff report. This schedule makes annual changes to
the city's fees and charges. The largest change is to the Parks System Development Charge
(SDC). There is a small change to the Transportation SDC. The Parks and Recreation Fee
(PARF) was discussed by council on June 6. Staff estimated Clean Water Services fees
and while a resolution has not yet been approved by CWS, staff's estimate is $29.49 per
dwelling unit.
Council President Snider said he wanted to implement the $65 fee for turning on the water
during non-business hours. He asked about Fridays and said he wanted the fee to be
charged after business hours consistently from Monday through Friday. Utility Manager
Goodrich said the Public Works Department operates on Fridays between 7:00 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. and provides service during that time at no charge. Utility Billing staff is available
Monday-Thursday from 7:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m.
Councilor Goodhouse said he liked the option of a fee so customers can choose if they
want to wait and not pay or get it taken care of right way and incur the extra fee.
Utility Manager Goodrich noted that council can set day/hours policy. Business hours for
this use can be set through fees and charges or Administrative Rules. Council President
Snider reiterated that he wants the hours to be consistent from Monday through Friday.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2017
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 14
Councilor Woodard said he was in favor of increasing the fee from$65 to $100 so that the
after-hours work is not subsidized by the city. He said one way or another, tax payers will
end up paying for it. Utility Manager Goodrich said the$65 is a cost share estimated by staff
and a study was not done. The amount could change if council decides that it should be
higher. Council President Snider recommended the hours be consistent and suggested 8:00
a.m. through 5:00 p.m.
d. Public Testimony—No one signed up to speak.
e. Staff Recommendation — Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said staff
recommends adoption of Resolution No. 17-27
f. Mayor Cook closed the public hearing.

hours water turn-on fee outside the hours of 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

11. INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING: ADOPTING THE BUDGET, MAKING
APPROPRIATIONS, DECLARING THE AD VALOREM TAX LEVY AND CLASSIFYING
THE LEVY AS PROVIDED BY- ORS 310.060(2)
a. Open Public Hearing —Mayor Cook
b. Hearing Procedures—Mayor Cook announced that any person wishing to comment on this
matter shall be given the opportunity.
c. Staff Report—Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said the city has 30 funds
including operations, capital plan, funds that collect revenues from developers to be used for
infrastructure, debt service funds and funds for internal department services. He said council
would be adopting a Schedule of Appropriations approved by the Budget Committee just under
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -June 13, 2017
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 9 of 14
the amount of$137,500.000 which will leave the city with reserves just under$81,000,000 so
the total requirements are just under$218,250,000. Compared to the last budget there are
significant increases. He said about half of the appropriations go towards the operations of the
city. While appropriations are growing by 10 percent, the city's operations are only growing by
three percent. He has talked about appropriations growing by four percent a year but they are
only at three percent,which is related to the water fund. Tigard is seeing a decline in the
operating costs because we no longer have to buy water from the City of Portland. Reserves
are 50 percent higher than in 2017. This is being caused by revenue raised from developers who
that will help us build infrastructure in the future for the existing and growing customers (water,
sewer, storm, and roads). It is a lot of revenue in a short time which means that the reserves are
growing but we will need that to pay for the capital investments we will be making in the future.
Adding growing appropriations and growing reserves together means growing requirements
and these are increasing by 23 percent over 2017, or$41,000,000.
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said Exhibit B shows changes brought
forward that are technical in nature. If staff had known about them at the time the proposed
budget was prepared they would have been included then or during the budget hearings. Most
are carry-forward items for projects the city is currently working on and will not be completed
by the end of the fiscal year.
d. Public Testimony - No one signed up to testify.
e. Staff Recommendation—Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance said staff
recommends approval of the resolution adopting the budget and making appropriations.
f. Mayor Cook closed the public hearing.
g. Council Deliberation on Resolution No. 17-28
Councilor Woodard asked about two temporary GIS technicians and whether one would
become full time. Mr. LaFrance said the city will be recruiting and attempt to hire the best
person available. An existing temporary person is also a viable candidate. Councilor Woodard
asked about$1,000 allocated for"activities related to the new district." Mr. LaFrance said staff
does not know so $1,000 was plugged in. A nuance of budget law is that we can increase
appropriations in supplemental budgets but cannot if one does not exist. If as a city and as a
district there are things we want to fund for the Triangle, Urban Renewal District, for example,
because it will not have built up tax increment financing,we could make a loan. For the first
few years of the Downtown Urban Renewal District, this is how projects were funded. There
is an IGA between the urban renewal district and the city that specifies how to make loans and
it will need to be amended because it refers to the downtown district only.
Councilor Goodhouse suggested an amendment to add$1 million to the emergency fund by
putting in $250,000 each year for four years and requiring a council vote to spend it. This is
important for transparency and will also let council know when we are into the last money.
This will help if we hit a recession. Mayor Cook asked where this would come from and Mr.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2017
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 10 of 14
LaFrance said the original$1 million came from the undesignated reserve fund. Mayor Cook
seconded the motion so there could be discussion.
Council President Snider said council has an obligation to take our boards and commission
members'recommendations seriously. This was a motion at the Budget Committee hearings
and it failed. There is not a compelling enough reason to go forward to say to our citizen
members we are overriding their decision.
Councilor Woodard was looking for any dollars in reserves that could be used for a facilities
audit to look at the Senior Center roof,police building,public works and city hall. He hopes
the new Facilities Manager will put together a plan to look at these things. He said we cannot
afford to let these things go. He added that if we are holding$2 million in reserves,it is more
difficult to ask people to support a levy. He agreed with Council President Snider about taking
Budget Committee recommendations seriously and stands by what the Budget Committee
recommended.
Councilor Anderson said he understands where Councilor Goodhouse is coming from—the
city did pull from that fund in 2008. He said Councilor Goodhouse's suggestion would move
money from checking to savings,which is just a detail, and he could go either way.
Mayor Cook agreed with councilor Anderson and could go either way. He concurs that it takes
a second vote and he did not know how the public reacts when there is money in reserve. But
he said the city will run out of money if the city maintains services and takes care of necessary
repairs. He acknowledged that if the city had not put money away the 2008 cuts would have
been more severe.
Councilor Goodhouse said yes, the money is just being moved from one account to another,
but if the city wants to spend anything from the last$2 million it would take a vote of council.
He said this is the difference between the Budget Committee and council and council needs to
know and be transparent when we are accessing the last of the reserves.
Council President Snider said the right venue to hold this discussion is the Budget Committee.
Councilor Woodard said he made a similar recommendation years ago and was asked where the
money would come from. He said he was able to find money from an increase in franchise fees
to get additional police officers in 2012. He said there is $1 million right now in reserves and
we are not touching it.
Mayor Cook conducted a council vote on the amendment to increase the emergency reserves
by$250,000 each year for four years, coming from the undesignated reserves and a council vote
would be required to spend it. The amendment failed.

Council President Snider asked if the budget appropriation includes the social services grants
and he was told it did. He asked if a grant was given to an agency (Fairhaven Recovery Homes)
he is involved with because he will then have a conflict of interest. Mayor Cook asked that
before staff sends out a request for social service and event grant applications, council meet in a
Workshop to discuss the process and revise the dollar amounts,in October or November. He
said he did not want to advertise for the grants without this discussion. Finance and
Information Services Director LaFrance confirmed that Fairhaven Recovery Homes did not
receive a grant. Council President Snider said he had to conflict
