I have a land use application (LLA2018-00001) currently under review by the City of Tigard for a proposed 5-story mixed use apartment/commercial development with 37 apartment units and ground floor commercial space. My name is Alkesh Patel(DVKCCR LLC)and I am the owner of TMU zoned property located at 11762 SW 701h Avenue (block bound by Baylor&Clinton Streets and 691h&70th Avenue)in the Tigard Triangle. I have site work and building permits(BUP2017-00254)currently approved by the City of Tigard for a proposed 150 room Hampton Inn&Suites hotel development. We have participated in the public planning process for the newly adopted lean code. We are very encouraged and supportive of the overall code changes. We appreciate the city's vision to increase livability and to encourage residential development in the Triangle. We are also very thankful to be able to participate in the public planning process for the proposed light rail for the Triangle in any way possible. To that end, I, Richard E.Cassinelli,will be attending the March 22,2018 meeting at the City. In our review of the March 2018 details on the project,we are supportive of the current proposed route through the Triangle. The proposed southern station at Beveland Street should serve the southern portion of the Triangle adequately. However, we are very concerned that current plan does not serve the north central portion of the Triangle(Dartmouth Street north to Haines Street)adequately without a station stop. The park and ride/station on SW Pacific Highway to the north will not be convenient for residents and workers in the north central portion to access due to its distance (approximately 1/3 mile to Baylor&701h) and much higher elevation (approximately 80 feet increase in elevation - not pedestrian or bike friendly). The north central portion of the Triangle will be the largest new source of redevelopment(residential and commercial)with the most underutilized land area. A station in this area will encourage more residential development consistent with the city's goals for this immediate area. We would like to encourage you to consider adding or moving a station into the north central portion of the Triangle. RE: LIGHT RAIL—TIGARD TRIANGLE MARCH 21,2018 PAGE 2 Thank you for your time and consideration and we look forward to your response. Sincerely, 72ND AVENUE PROPERTY LLC .f Richard E.Cassinelli DVKOCR LLC P-71/ Alkesh Patel T Item# Newsletter: 31�Z�s(� City of Tigard C Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor Cook and Tigard City Council From: John Goodrich, Public Works Operations Manager Re: Next Steps for Willamette Water Supply Project Agreements Date: March 15, 2018 During the regular business meeting on March 27, council will consider two agreements pertaining to the Willamette Water Supply Program. Next steps include Tigard City Council consideration of two agreements: • A purchase and sale agreement with Tualatin Valley Water District (IVWD) for the ZVillamette Intake Facility, and • An intergovernmental agreement with the Tualatin Valley Water District (7VWD) and the City of Hillsboro for temporary water supply. Willamette Intake Facilities (WIF) expansion The Willamette Intake Facilities (WIF) are located at the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant (WRWTP) in Wilsonville, OR. The WIF houses the raw water pumps that safely and reliably draw water from the Willamette River. The Willamette Water Supply Program (WWSP), which is a partnership of the City of Hillsboro and the Tualatin Valley Water District (IVWD), is designing improvements to the WIF that will expand its capacity, improve its seismic reliability, and enable it to deliver water to the future Willamette Water Supply System (WWSS) water treatment plant. To move forward with participation in WIF expansion, Council is being asked to consider a proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement with Tualatin Valley Water District (IVWD) to provide joint ownership of existing constructed assets for the WIF, and to participate in an expansion of the facility to 150 million gallons per day (mgd). Excess System Capacity TVWD has determined that excess system capacity in the WIF is available to other water providers,including Tigard. Through an allocation formula, TVWD has extended an offer to Tigard for an ownership share equaling 10 percent of the total capacity or 15 mgd. Council provided direction to staff to proceed with drafting a purchase agreement for the additional capacity. Purchase and Sale Agreement Staff is requesting council consider approving the Purchase and Sale Agreement, allowing Tigard to fully participate in the WIF expansion to 150 mgd, continue membership in the "WIF Commission" and to retain 15 mgd in allocated capacity within the WIF. In order for Tigard to someday receive and distribute water from the WIF, the city would need to construct or partner with others for additional water treatment capacity and pipeline conveyance. However, these would be long-range costs that would occur when Tigard's water service area needs grow to a point where additional water supply capacity is warranted. Temporary Water Agreement The second item for council consideration on March 27 is a proposed agreement to provide "construction"water through a temporary water supply for the WWSS pipeline project on Roy Rodgers Road. This request for temporary water supply provides an opportunity to construct additional improvements to make a permanent emergency connection to the WWSS with a flow capacity of five (5) million gallons per day (mgd) for Tigard use. Future action items to fully develop this connection will require a separate agreement with the Willamette Water Supply Program regarding terms and conditions for water use. Water will not be available from the WWSS until 2026. Through the proposed agreement, Tigard would share costs to upsize the water supply pipe connection from 6-inch diameter pipe to 12-inch diameter pipe. Tigard's cost share is approximately $82,000. Tigard would be responsible for any further costs associated with completing the permanent connection, such as special control valves or water quality monitoring equipment. Staff recommends adopting both resolutions to approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Temporary Water Supply Agreement to provide resilient and redundant water supply options for emergency or supplemental water needs for the community.

Page 1 of 1 Item# q Man charged in Hillsboro crash that injured Tigard cop Newsletter: Pamplin Media Group Thursday, March 22, 2018 Mathew Barbee suffered serious injuries after he was struck by a car along Highway 26 in Hillsboro. Hillsboro police have arrested a man after he allegedly crashed his car into a stalled vehicle along Highway 26, seriously injuring an off-duty Tigard police officer. o. Darby Andrew McBride was arrested Wednesday, March 21, and booked in the AM Washington County Jail on charges of third-degree assault, reckless driving and -7=' second-degree criminal mischief. According to Hillsboro police, McBride was driving westbound along Highway 26 at about 1:24 a.m., Dec. 14, 2017, when he allegedly crashed his car into a stalled vehicle parked on the shoulder of the highway, near th Cornelius Pass Road exit in Hillsboro. The driver of the stalled vehicle, off-duty Tigard police officer Mathew Barbee, sustained serious injuries in the crash. Hillsboro Police spokesman Henry Reimann said McBride will not face charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants. The county's Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team, made up of investigators from several area police agencies, investigated the case. Washington County youth growing in leadership Mike Morey Saturday, March 10, 2018 Examples of mature and sensible youth abound in Washington County, and that should give everyone cause for hope. As we felt the heartbreak and tragedy surrounding yet another school shooting, it was inspiring to see the response of the Florida youth and the youth throughout the nation. It made me reflect on the youth of Washington County and their engagement on issues. Perhaps we can learn from the up and coming "iGens," as they are being called, especially those right here in Washington County. Many Westside cities have already started to call on their youth for advice. The cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard and Tualatin all have youth advisory councils or boards. Tualatin's Youth Advisory Council was started by Mayor Lou Ogden back in 1999— before some of the current Youth Advisory Council members were even born. Beaverton Mayor's Youth Advisory Board (MYAB)was born from the idea that our youth have a vital role and voice in shaping their community. One leader said our youth today are plugged into social media and likely more knowledgeable of what's happening on a local and national level than most adults were at their age. The City of Hillsboro's Youth Advisory Council (YAC)was formed in 2006 as an opportunity for high school students to serve and improve the Hillsboro community by bridging the gap between youth and local government. In Tigard,the Youth Advisory Council (TYAC) a growing presence within city government and the community. TYAC membership draws from a number of area schools including Tigard High School, The International School and Fowler Middle School. Tigard also utilized their city's youth during a Hamilton-type performance at the"State of the City" address last month, where the Tigard Choralation sang and rapped about the city's activities in 2017. This month, some of the Westside youth advisory council or board members will join 150 youth delegates at the National League of Cities Conference in Washington, D.C. During the conference, youth delegates will convene with their peers to share perspectives and exchange ideas on key issues such as bullying, the opioid crisis, homelessness, infrastructure and gun control. One leader said the youth are challenged, and they in turn challenge us. What is learned through the conference and other collaboration returns dividends back here on the Westside. One of the largest contributions the YAC has made to the Tualatin community is through Project FRIENDS, a day-long bullying prevention program for the City's fifth graders. This workshop, now in its 10th year, is researched, created and led by the 20 members of the Tualatin YAC. Project FRIENDS has engaged local youth in learning about positive decision-making and problem-solving, while encouraging respectful communication and acceptance of diversity. Tigard utilizes their youth in assisting with events such as Trick-or-Treat on Main Street, Holiday Tree Lighting and Adopt-a-Highway. In 2016, Forbes magazine recognized TYAC for their use of a meme contest to raise awareness about a smoking ban in city parks. The youth are social media-savvy after all, so it's great to see their talents being used on an important issue. Hillsboro's YAC is involved in events too and is currently coordinating a TE DxYouth@Lincol n Street. It's also working with the city's Sustainability Task Force and the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan to explore ways to reduce plastic bag use. Hillsboro's YAC works closely with city leadership, the Mayor and City Council to create civic engagement opportunities for youth, which includes councilors mentoring students at their bimonthly meetings and students shadowing the City Council at a Spring meeting. Hillsboro's YAC is also very visible during the"State of the City" address too, where they sit in the background at the council's seats, and they have played supporting roles in city videos. Beaverton's youth are a voice to elected officials and decision-makers on issues facing the community. Beaverton leaders say the MYAB perspective is an important piece in shaping its city's future, since decisions made today, will be felt by the youth for decades into our future. Therefore, it's important that our MYAB delegates have a voice and seat at the decision-making table. It's refreshing to see there is a future generation that not only can plug into technology, but is charged to be part of the policy making that affects us all. I am convinced that our future leadership, through difficult times and good times, will be in good hands. Mike Morley is the president of the Westside Economic Alliance Board of Directors.
