Workers' compensation coverage for volunteers insures that when a volunteer is injured,their medical and other costs related to the injury are paid in a manner consistent with how an employee would be treated by the city's workers' compensation carrier. There are feu-options other than purchase of workers' compensation coverage to provide this benefit to injured volunteers.Accident insurance is an alternative that is more expensive, and not readily available through our current carrier.Workers'compensation coverage provides an exclusive remedy for injuries when volunteering,meaning a volunteer would be covered by workers' compensation,and not under our liability policy. Should the city not provide workers' compensation coverage,an alternative for an injured volunteer would be managing their injury with their own resources, or filing a liability claim against the city. FISCAL IMPACT Cost $6,700 Budgeted: Yes Where Budgeted: Risk/Insurance • Authorize the City to Sign the First Amendment to the Tiedeman Connection IGA between Metro and Tigard On April 12,2016 Tigard City Council approved the Tiedeman Connection IGA with Metro to construct a segment of the Fanno Creek Trail from Tiedeman Avenue to Woodard Park. The project included a new paved trail and pedestrian bridge over Fanno TIGARD CITY COUNCIL CONSENT AGENDA—May 8,2018 _ City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 l v ww.tiga d-or.gov JPdge1qf2 Creek. Metro agreed to pay$660,000 for the work. The City of Tigard agreed to furnish necessary-personnel, equipment,materials and services to complete the work. Project costs have risen significantly for the following reasons: (1) the estimate was prepared in 2015 dollars prior to the current building boom. (2) the original estimate assumed an 8- foot wide by 80-foot long pre-fabricated wooden glu-lam bridge. The bridge width has been changed to 12-feet to accommodate increased non-motorized commuter demand for the trail. ...ks a result,the bridge must be manufactured in steel not wood, (3) It was assumed, at the time of the 2015 project estimate,that the bridge could be installed above the 100-year floodplain. After completing hydraulic modeling and topographic surveys,the bridge will need to be within the floodplain to meet Americans with Disabilities Act grade requirements. Constructing within the 100-year floodplain requires additional grading to increase flood storage and requires installation of a retaining wall along Tiedeman Avenue. After reviewing these necessary changes to the project,Metro agreed to increase project funding from$660,000 to$800,000. FISCAL IMPACT Cost-$140,000 Budgeted: Yes Wlere Budgeted CIP 92051 This IGA formalizes the additional funding that Metro is providing the City of Tigard to complete the Tiedeman Connection of the Fanno Creek Trail. itietro is providing$140,000 additional to the project to bring the total metro funding up to$800,000. On November 13, 2014 Metro Council adopted Resolution 14.4583 which encourages investment of a small percentage of Natural Area Bond Measure Funding to provide improved and increased public access to natural areas and trails across the region,including development of the Tiedeman Avenue Crossing Alignment.

City code sets a target aggregate profit for waste haulers between 8 percent and 12 percent. Per TMC, if the aggregate profit for all haulers is between 8 percent and 12 percent, the rates will be adjusted annually with a start date of January 1st indexed to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U Over-the-Year Percent Change Annual Average for Portland-Salem. If the aggregate profit is less than 8 percent or more than 12 percent then the City will undertake a rate study to recommend new rates. If the aggregate profit is between 8 and 9 percent, then 1.25 times the index will be applied. If the aggregate profit is from 9 to 11 percent, then the index will be applied. If the aggregate profit is between 11 and 12 percent, then 0.75 times the index will be applied. For 2017, the annual average index is 3.9 percent. TMC requires that the findings are reported to the council annually. The aggregate financial report for the year-ended December 31, 2017 shows a profit rate of 9.7 percent. At this profit rate, standard practice under TMC 11.04.090 is to increase all solid waste rates by the index. The index for the last year is 3.9 percent. Staff have been approached by the haulers as the haulers have recently experienced drastically increased recycling fees. In November of 2017 the companies that accepted the recycling materials from the haulers changed from paying for recycling materials to charging for it. Since the change came so late in the reporting year it did not sevearly affect the profit rate for haulers in the reporting year-ended December 31, 2017. If 2018 is forecasted by including a full year of increased recycling costs and the 2.1% increase in rates revenues that took effect on January 1, 2018 are applied to 2017 financials, city staff anticipate that the solid waste haulers will have a profit margin that is below 8 percent in the next reporting year. City staff are recommending one of two options: 1) The first option is to increase the solid waste collection rates by the 3.9 percent effective January 1, 2019. This is the minimum requirement according to TMC 11.04.090. 2) The second option is to enact option #1 above and an additional recycling surcharge of$1.50/month, effective July 1, 2018. With this surcharge in place for the final six months of the year-ended December 31, 2018 the haulers will have additional revenue of approximately $135,000. This will provide a forecasted aggregate profit of approximately 8 percent. The recommended fee changes and the potential recycling surcharge will be a discussion item for the Diaster Fees and Charges schedule. This item will be discussed in Study Session on June 12, 2018. Based on Council direction at the study session, the preferred option will be presented as one of the agenda items at the FY2019 budget hearing on June 26, 2018. Regardless of the option selected, TMC 11.040.090 also requires that the city undertake a rate study every six years. The last rate study was conducted in 2013. A rate study will be conducted during the next fiscal year. If Council does choose to implement Option #2 above, it is likely that the surcharge will only be in place for 12-18 months until the results of the rate study can be implemented. cc: Mike Leichner, Pride Disposal Mike Jefferies,Waste Management Newsletter: ti� a Please join C 3", U.S. Senator Ron Wyden for a Washington County Town Hall Meeting Five Oaks Middle School 1600 NW 173rd Ave Beaverton, Oregon Saturday April 28th, 2018 11 : 00am Item# P Newsletter: g YOU ' RE INVITED !

Erickson,Detective Hahn,Detective Stone,Detective Swain, and Detective Foulkes Re: Letter of Recognition On April 10th,Officer Keller alerted Detective's Hahn and Stone regarding a transient attempting to cash a fraudulent check at Umpqua Bank. An interview with the transient revealed he was solicited by others, he shared the method of operation, transportation, and possible base of operation. It was evident a crew was using the vulnerability of transients to facilitate critninal behavior. On April 11th, Detective Hahn confirmed the suspect's location in Wilsonville, organized surveillance, and Sgt. Erickson requested assistance of Detective Foulkes and Beaverton Detective's Connor and McNair. During surveillance, a suspect's van traveled to Portland, recruited transients, then returned to Wilsonville where suspect's frantically loaded both vans. A van occupied with 5 individuals headed toward Multnomah Falls,it was stopped with assistance of Multnomah County Sheriff's Office,and two suspects were taken into custody with $24K in cash. Detective Hahn's on scene interview provided information about a third suspect, Sgt. Erickson responded to the suspect's location in Wilsonville, found the other van gone and suspects had checked out. Detective Stone learned the other van had just returned to PDX, he contacted the Port of Portland regarding an arrest of the third suspect, and the third suspect was arrested prior to boarding a flight. While at PDX, Detective's Stone and Swain interviewed the suspect and gained additional evidence and statements confirming criminal activities. The investigation revealed that three suspects traveled from Atlanta with the sole purpose to commit crimes using a vulnerable population to help conceal their criminal enterprise. This case resulted in the arrest of three suspects with multiple counts of forgery, theft, criminal possession of a forged instrument,and seizure of nearly$34K dollars. The listed Detectives along with Beaverton PD, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, and Port of Portland Police should be recognized for their teamwork. Without the strong relationships cultivated by the Commercial Crimes unit, this case may not have been successful.

Comcast Cares Day is more than just a day— it is a celebration and opportunity to spotlight our year-round commitment to volunteerism that began with our founding 55 years ago. From using technology to create positive change, such as teaching digital literacy skills and wiring community centers and libraries, to mentoring youth, to beautifying parks, Comcast NBCUniversal employees volunteer on this day, and throughout the year, to make a lasting impact. This year, the Company expects more than 100,000 volunteers to participate in about 1,000 projects across the country and around the world. To date, volunteers have contributed more than 5 million volunteer hours at 8,800 projects. This year's Comcast Cares Day will include projects in communities from Springfield to Castle Rock. Some of the projects will be with long-time community partners like the Oregon Food Bank and Binky Patrol, making blankets for children in need. Many of the projects include outdoor activities, like landscaping and planting gardens. Katrin Dougherty, Program Director at Supa Fresh Youth Farm in Tigard, became a Comcast Cares Day community partner for the first time last year. "During Comcast Cares Day 2017, 200 volunteers showed up in force to help us plant 60 beds at Metzger Community Park, a dual-purpose school/park. This allowed us to jumpstart our spring planting project. But the most rewarding aspect of that day was seeing our teen leaders in action. I'll never forget watching Kessley, a shy 17-year-old girl directing her crew of Comcast volunteers. It was amazing to see her take charge and become comfortable as a leader." "As we celebrate our 17`h annual Comcast Cares Day, we are delighted to collaborate with all our Cares Day partners to give back to our communities," said Rodrigo Lopez, Regional Senior Vice-President of Comcast Oregon/SW Washington. "It's inspiring to see how we can drive positive change when our employees, their family and friends, and our community partners rally together." The Comcast Foundation will also provide grants to local community partner organizations across the country on behalf of everyone who volunteers on Comcast Cares Day. The grants will help Comcast's community partners continue their mission of serving the community throughout the year. To date, the Comcast Foundation has awarded more than $22 million in grants to local non-profit organizations who have served as partners on Comcast Cares Day. Additionally, Comcast will once again fold in the broad support and amplification of Global Citizen and Red Nose Day, organizations aiming to end extreme poverty globally and in the United States. These organizations use the universal language of music and entertainment as a vehicle to engage people around the world to make a difference. By amplifying our support of these initiatives on Comcast Cares Day, Comcast NBCUniversal is providing additional ways to help drive positive change in our communities. Ron Wyden to host Washington County town hall April 28 Geoff Pursinger Monday, April 23, 2018 Wyden, a Democrat, will be at Five Oaks Middle School in Beaverton this weekend to speak with constituents. �a ..c ir . STAFF FILE PHOTO- U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden will be in Washington County this weekend, talking to constituents at a town hall in Beaverton, April 28. U.S. Senator Ron Wyden is planning a town hall in Washington County and in Salem this weekend. Oregon's senior senator will be in Beaverton, Saturday, April 28, at Five Oaks Middle School, where he will meet with constituents for an update on his work in Washington, D.C. and take questions from the audience. "Open-to-all town halls play a big part in what I call the'Oregon Way,'where any person can ask any question in a public meeting,"Wyden said in a news release. "Throwing open the doors of government for town halls to have these conversations is a must in our democracy, and I very much look forward to hearing from Oregonians." The Beaverton town hall begins at 11 a.m. at Five Oaks Middle School, 1600 N.W. 173rd Ave. The following day, April 29,Wyden will host a similar meeting at Salem's 50+ Center, 2615 Portland Road, at 1 p.m. Wyden has vowed to hold annual town halls in each county, but has made frequent trips to Washington County since the election of President Donald Trump. He held six in Washington County in 2017, including two in Hillsboro. Wyden's last town hall in Washington County was in February at Century High School, where he spoke out against Trump's calls to arm select teachers to fight against armed gunmen during mass shootings. i IL I he Southwest CorridOF P'I'an:-I he players By Ambar Espinoza April 18, 9.018 2:30 p.m. Bylined articles are written by Metro staff and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Metro or the Metro Council. The Southwest Corridor Plan has many moving pieces and multiple partners. Here's a brief overview of these partners and their roles. Metro, greater Portland's regionally-elected government, is the lead planning agency for the Southwest Corridor Plan, which includes a new MAX light rail line. Metro convenes all the partners involved with the light rail and other transportation investments of the Southwest Corridor Plan. Metro is the body that will ultimately adopt the final route for the light rail line. Metro is also considering whether to pursue a transportation funding ballot measure in 2020, which could include funding to build the Southwest Corridor light rail line and other associated safety and congestion projects in the area. M■il ■■III 3 i Photo courtesy of TriMet ol ._ Ili la. If the federal government clears the project and Metro adopts the 'a final light rail route, TriMet will lead the rest of the project. It will design, build, operate and maintain the new light rail line. TriMet is also working on improvements to local bus services identified in its Southwest Service Enhancement Plan, which is ` separate from, but associated with, the Southwest Corridor Plan. The transit agency has service enhancement plans for every quadrant of the region. The Southwest Corridor Plan's steering committee will make the final recommendations about the light rail route to the Metro Council. The committee is made up of one elected or appointed official from each of the partners, except Metro, which holds two seats on the committee. The Federal Transit Administration is the federal agency responsible for approving the final environmental impact statement of the light rail project, which essentially clears the project. It's also the federal agency that provides the matching dollars to build it. The Oregon Department of Transportation helps plan and design the light rail's interaction with freeways and state highways that it could potentially touch, such as I-5, I-405, US 26, Route 217 and Eioute 99W. The cities of Portland, Tigard and Tualatin as well as Washington County, which are represented on the steering committee, help plan and design the light rail project. Their staff bring knowledge of their local communities, informing decisions about where the light rail would go, how it would function and what benefits it would help bring to local communities. They are also involved in permitting the project in their respective jurisdictions. These cities and the county will also weigh in on the preferred route recommended by the steering committee. Leaders from other cities in the Southwest Corridor—Sherwood, Beaverton,Durham and King City—are also on the steering committee and stay briefed on these efforts. These communities are nearby the proposed light rail and could benefit from improved transit connections. The community advisory committee will recommend a final preferred light rail route to the steering committee this summer. Members of this group are people working in advocacy and community organizations, business groups and colleges. The committee brings insights and a broad perspective on social and community issues. Southwest Corridor plan looks to make it quicker and safer to get around By Ambar Espinoza April 18, 2018 2:30 p.m. Bylined articles are written by Metro staff and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Metro or the Metro Council. Learn more A lot of the talk right now is about the proposed light rail line, but the Southwest Corridor Plan includes roads,trails, sidewalks and bus improvements for residents of an area from Beaverton to Lake Oswego, from downtown Portland to Sherwood and Tualatin. Manuela Martinez Espinoza likes living in Tigard,but the increasing traffic jams bother her. "It used to take me 20 minutes on the bus to get to downtown Portland from my house," Martinez Espinoza said about her travel time 15 years ago. "Now it takes me an hour" during weekday rush hours. Large portions of the Southwest Corridor,which stretches from downtown Portland through Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood, are car-centric,with wide stretches of busy highways. Many areas lack basic infrastructure, like sidewalks. Faces of the Southwest Corridor The walk across Pacific Highway to the bus stops along Southwest Barbur Boulevard frightens Linda and Richard Edwards, even though there's a crosswalk.This is where they catch buses to go shopping in Tigard or to connect with other buses and the MAX to go to Gateway for doctor appointments from their home in Southwest Portland. Learn more about the Edwards and others who live,work,play or study in the Southwest Corridor. Regional leaders recognize the growing needs of people who live and work in the Southwest Corridor: transportation options that include an improved transit system to go to work and school, and safer conditions for walking and biking within local communities. They're studying how to manage escalating traffic and better connect the Southwest Corridor to the rest of the region through the Southwest Corridor Plan. It's a partnership of seven cities,Washington County, Metro, TriMet and the Oregon Department of Transportation. The plan is anchored in a shared community vision with goals,which include improving roadways so that people have a safe and reliable transportation network for walking,biking and taking transit. Some of the projects to help fulfill these goals have already been completed. Those projects include the Tualatin River Greenway, a new crosswalk on Barbur Boulevard at Alice Street, and new TriMet bus lines 97 -Tualatin-Sherwood Rd,which connects Tualatin and the Sherwood Town Center,and 42 - Denney/Hall,which connects Tigard,Washington Square and Beaverton Transit Center. More projects are underway. Expanding the transit systern A new MAX light rail line is a key piece of the Southwest Corridor Plan. The proposed 12-mile light rail would connect downtown Portland to Tigard and Bridgeport Village in Tualatin, building on an existing network of 60 miles of light rail. TriMet's five MAX lines run on 60 miles of track and serve nearly 100 stations. Photo courtesy of TriMet. Multiple routes are under consideration within this proposed path,but project staff have suggested an initial route for community members to start discussing. The suggested route would begin near Portland State University, travel through South Portland with a new pedestrian connection carrying people up to Marquam Hill, and proceed down the Barbur corridor with stations serving Burlingame, Hillsdale, Multnomah Village,West Portland Park and Mount Sylvania. A shuttle system would link the Portland Community College Sylvania campus to a MAX station. From there, it would cross I-5,have two stops in the Tigard Triangle, and then cross Highway 217 to serve downtown Tigard with a station near Hall Boulevard. It would travel alongside existing freight rail lines until its final destination at Bridgeport Village. TriMet would adjust bus services to connect people to the Southwest Corridor light rail and the rest of the MAX light rail system. Every day about 19,000 people go to Marquam Hill, south of downtown Portland,to work at or visit the site's three hospitals - Oregon Health &Science University, the VA Medical Center and the Shriners Hospital for Children. Marquam Hill "has a parking backlog of 10 years," said David Unsworth, director of project development and permitting at TriMet, the transit agency that would build and operate the new MAX line. That area will continue to grow. So will Tigard and Tualatin. "[What] we've learned is how many people are commuting to and within and between the suburbs for jobs," said Jennifer Koozer,TriMet's community affairs manager. "There are really good jobs in Tigard and Tualatin and people are coming from all over the region to go to those jobs." In 2015, nearly 92 percent of people who worked in Tigard lived outside of Tigard.And about 93 percent of people who worked in Tualatin lived outside of Tualatin,according to U.S. Census data. Light rail would help many of these residents get to their jobs. Many students would also have more reliable commutes to their classes at Portland State University, OHSU,the National University of Natural Medicine, Portland Community College's Sylvania campus and George Fox University's satellite campus in the Tigard Triangle. Preparing for growth The Southwest Corridor is expected to welcome as many as 70,000 new residents and 65,000 additional jobs by 2035,which will further increase traffic on roadways. Regional planners see light rail as a key travel option that maintains speed and reliability, even as roads become more congested, slowing buses. The number of miles people drive alone is expected to increase by 22 percent, from 42 million to 51 million per day from 2015 to 2035 "If you're trying to get from Bridgeport Village now to downtown Portland, it could take you an hour on a bus or an hour in a car," Unsworth said. But traveling by a new light railline, "should take you 30 minutes." In 20 or 30 years,that trip should still take 30 minutes,which provides certainty in travel time and a "real option" to driving alone, Unsworth said. By 2035, about 43,000 people are expected to ride trains along the MAX's Southwest Corridor line.As a result, planners hope the project would reduce pressure on roadways and improve travel for everyone including drivers. "You can choose to sit in traffic in 30 years...but you will also,because of this project,have other choices." Erik Halstead,who lives in Tigard, said he will choose to continue to drive. "Right now, I can get to my destination in about 20 or 30 minutes," Halstead said. He does not think a light rail in the Southwest Corridor would help him get to where he needs to be on time. Halstead would like to see more improvements in the bus system,before any investments in light rail. Erik Halstead "I'd rather not pay for insurance on two cars and gas for two cars,but I need...transit...whatever it is... to be there," said Erik Halstead,who lives in Tigard. "I need it to show up on time. I need it to be reliable." 1 "If I took MAX, I would have to take a bus to get to Tigard Transit Center to take a train,to take another train,to take another bus," he said. Halstead relied on public transit for many years. "I had jobs in downtown [Portland]," he said. "But over the years as the buses just became less and less reliable for various reasons,it got to the point where I just had to drive." That prompted his family to buy a second car. But for people who rely solely on transit-because they may not have the means to buy and maintain a car-the proposed light rail is a welcome addition. "This new [MAX] line would benefit me," said Humberto Rodriguez,who lives in Beaverton. Rodriguez wants to move to Tigard to live with his partner, Martinez Espinoza. He thinks the transit system needs improvements. Rodriguez sees the proposed light rail and other plans to improve bus service as a win for the region's overall transit system. "I move around by taking the MAX and the bus,"he said. His construction job is based in Portland,but sometimes he gets assignments in other parts of the region. "[A new MAX line] would be good, very good." Johnnie Shepherd agrees. He lives in Southwest Portland and depends on transit.Shepherd describes his neighborhood as "centrally-located"with many different transit options available within walking distance. Johnnie Shepherd has lived in many cities across the country. He praises Portland's transit system as among the best. A new MAX line along the Southwest Corridor won't change how he gets to work or runs his errands,but "[for] people who don't have cars, it will be easier for them to get around," he said. "I remember 20 years ago how difficult it was to catch a bus," he said. "I lived in Tualatin. I lived in West Linn.And it would take you an hour or hour and a half... It's more easier (sic) now... For them to even think of sending a rail line out there [along the Southwest Corridor], it would be beneficial to the community, to the people that ride mass transit." i The Southwest Corridor is home to many people and families who do not own a car or who share one car among working adults, particularly in areas near the proposed alignments, such as in downtown Tigard, the Tigard Triangle, along Highway 217 and I-5. People across the region would share the benefits of an expanded light rail system, Unsworth said.A person riding on the MAX Green Line from Northeast 82nd Avenue "can have a one-seat ride getting out to Bridgeport and then a connection to a job through a bus...,"he said. "So we're trying to knit all this stuff together using transit." Protecting affordable housing Unsworth said these planned transportation improvements for the Southwest Corridor build on Metro's vision to create dense regional town centers connected by great transit. Since 2016, staff from TriMet and Metro have attended events or hosted community conversations - about 65 of them -to inform people about the Southwest Corridor Plan and encourage them to share their input. Humberto Rodriguez and Manuela Martinez Espinoza depend on public transit to get to work, run errands and explore parks in greater Portland. Martinez Espinoza, Rodriguez,the Edwards and Shepherd are among many who support adding a new MAX line in the Southwest Corridor.As is expected with major infrastructure projects, some people, such as Halstead, oppose the proposal all together. Others have tempered their support with varying degrees of concern about the potential impacts the project may have on housing affordability. These concerns are rooted in history. Past infrastructure improvements in other parts of the region (and the country) attracted private investments that contributed to rising rents and property values, subsequently pricing out people from their long-time neighborhoods. The Federal Transit Administration awarded Metro a grant of$895,000 to identify the needs of the Southwest Corridor with respect to jobs, housing and education,and to develop strategies to improve opportunities in those key areas. At this early stage of the light rail proposal, regional leaders want to provide people who currently live in the area with better jobs, educational opportunities and stable housing. They hope doing so will help people to thrive and withstand changes that may come about as a result of a new light rail line and the private investments it could attract to their neighborhoods. Regional leaders are particularly focused on ensuring stability and equity for people with low incomes, and communities of color. "Planning for the proposed light rail project continues to take into account the best locations to serve existing and future residents of the corridor,and visitors,"said Chris Ford, Metro's project manager for the Southwest Corridor Plan. This planning balances "needs for access, along with the possible effects on people of having a train and a station suddenly come to their community," he said. "It's no secret that people and their families are struggling," said Brian Harper, a regional planner at Metro. "Many in our region have to make hard decisions between paying their rent or paying their overdue utility bill. Whether or not the region agrees to build a light rail in the Southwest Corridor,these pressures will continue to grow for many of our most vulnerable." Harper said the efforts Metro and partners are undertaking to stabilize small businesses and struggling households ahead of a new light rail line are important,no matter the outcome of the train project. With support from Metro's 2040 planning and development grants,the cities of Tigard and Portland are developing a strategy to bring more housing choices to Tigard and Southwest Portland. Portland's affordable housing strategy includes enhancing tenant protections and services. Regional leaders are making a commitment to raise money and pool it together with additional sources of income to build new regulated and acquire existing non-regulated affordable apartment buildings. To support these short-and long-term goals, Metro is considering placing an affordable housing measure on the November 2018 ballot. "The greater Portland region is looking to make sure that access to affordable and safe public transportation are prioritized,which means funded," said Jes Larson,a government affairs specialist at Metro. "We also recognize access to safe, stable and affordable housing needs to be a priority and funded," she said. "And so that is why the region is looking at an opportunity to create new funding to both preserve existing affordable housing and create more permanent affordable housing." Next ste l:as In May, Metro and TriMet will release a Draft Environmental Impact Statement that will help decision- makers select the final route. The public will have an opportunity to share input during a 45-day comment period before a steering committee recommends a route to Metro Council for its adoption. Planners estimate building Southwest Corridor light rail will cost between$2.6 to $2.8 billion. Construction could begin as early as 2021 with opening in 2027. A regionwide transportation ballot measure in 2020 would help fund the project along with matching funds from the federal government.Across the country,projects like the Southwest Corridor light rail are also competing to secure these federal transportation dollars. ,�GTON CQ � _ SL arcG this s+e m . • ■ OOEGBT' County vel•icle registration fee starts ciy 1 County vehicle registration fee starts July 1 For Immediate Release: Wednesday, April 25, 2018 Sponsored by: Department of Land Use and Transportation,Administrative Services/Office of the Director Division People registering vehicles in Washington County through the state Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) will be paying a new County fee for renewals and new registrations starting on July 1, 2018.

Fuel sales per registered vehicle have been declining, due to hybrid and electric cars, and fewer miles traveled per vehicle. At the same time, maintenance costs have increased significantly.
