Meeting Minutes
July 17, 2002
7:30 a.m.
Tigard City Hall
In Attendance: Mayor Jim Griffith, Martha Flotten, Susan Stark Haydon, Liz Newton,
Robin McFall, Ken Scheckla, Pam Brown, Ron Goodpaster
Mayor Griffith opened the meeting at 7:40 a.m. Liz asked committee members to get any
comments or suggestions to her today for the resource document. She plans to distribute the
updated draft at the August meeting. Robin McFall provided information on the Tigard
Recreation Association.
Skateboard Park
Mayor Griffith and others met with Tom Brian about the possibility of using a portion of the
CWS property on Hall and Durham for a skateboard park. CWS is reluctant because they
may need the property for expansion in the future. The group will meet again to see if there's
a way to use the property for a skateboard park in the interim.
A neighborhood meeting still needs to be held regarding the Tigard Street site. Ken asked
about the property behind the armory as a potential site. Susan said the school district had
contacted the federal government about that site for another use and been told they weren't
sure what they might use the property for. The Mayor will talk to Rich Carlson about
contacting the armory regarding the potential use of the property for a skateboard park.
Middle School/After-School Program
Susan reported that probably$49,000 of a$55,000 grant would be available to fund the after-
school program. Providing funds for the bus transportation will be a challenge. Pam and Ed
will contact service clubs and churches to try to secure funds for snacks and/or supplies for
the program beginning this fall.
Assets Survey
Susan reported that she has been working with Becky Read of Washington County to get a
booklet written, printed, and distributed to each middle and high school family.
The group then discussed a number of programs already in place to connect youth with the
community: lunch buddy, HTAG,Juvenile Court, Youth Mentor, DARE Camp. After the
assets survey has been distributed, Susan will work with the schools to identify youth that
might be interested in serving on the Youth Forum.

suggested that the food bank or NW Medical Teams be contacted to see if donations could be

not be funded next fall. Liz and Susan will get a teacher to attend to talk about the benefits.
