ISSUE
How will the City Council choose to fill the Council vacancy that will result from the
resignation submitted by Council President Jason Snider effective December 27, 2018?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
This is an item for Council discussion. No action is requested.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
On June 4, 2018 the City received notification of Council President Jason Snider's irrevocable
resignation effective December 27, 2018. The resignation was submitted in accordance with
Tigard City Charter Chapter III, Section 7, which states in part, "No person who is serving as
Mayor or councilor shall become a candidate for any City office for a term which would be
concurrent with the term in office then held unless that person first submits a written
resignation from the then current office at the time of filing for the other office." Council
President Snider filed for the office of Mayor at the time he submitted his resignation.
City Attorney Rihala has provided a memo to the City Council regarding the options for
filling the remainder of Councilor Snider's term.
Council may choose election or appointment as an option to fill the vacancy. Council will
need to take action in a public meeting to determine which course it chooses.

I " City of Tigard
TIGARD Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Shelby Rihala
Re: Council and Mayoral Elections
Date: June 4, 2018
The purpose of this memo is to respond to questions regarding the City's Charter and Code
requirements related to elections for Mayor and Council. It also provides historical context about
how past Councils have dealt with similar circumstances.
I. Resignation Requirement
Section 7 of the City's Charter states, "No person who is serving as Mayor or councilor shall
become a candidate for any City office for a term which would be concurrent with the term in
office then held unless that person first submits a written resignation from the then current office
at the time of filing for the other office." The resignation may not be withdrawn, but it may be
effective at a later date, so long as the date is prior to the start of the term for which that person is
running as a candidate. In other words,because the next Mayor's term will start January 1,2019,
the resignation of any Councilor running for Mayor will need be effective on or before December
31, 2018.
According to the Charter, the resignation must be submitted "at the time of filing for the other
office." The Charter does not define what constitutes "filing." TMC Chapter 2.40 provides some
guidance,but it is internally conflicting. Section 2.40.030(1) reiterates the Charter's language and
provides that any Councilperson filing for Mayor must submit a resignation "at the time of filing."
However, Section 2.40.030(3) provides a slightly different timeline. The Code requires a person
filing for office with the City to submit a petition to the City Recorder, along with a fee. The City
Recorder then verifies the signatures and provides a form to the nominee stating that the correct
number of signatures have been submitted and are valid. In TMC 2.40.030(3), the Code provides
that the nominee has five days after receiving that form from the City Recorder to accept or
decline the nomination and, "if the nominee is a councilperson whose term would be concurrent
with that of Mayor, the nominee shall submit a letter of resignation as required by the Charter."
Like the Charter, the Code does not define what "filing" means. The closest explanation seems to
be in TMC 2.40.010(3) which says that the nominee must pay the fee "at the time of filing the
completed nomination petition form with the City Recorder." Thus,it appears that"filing"
means providing the completed petition to the City Recorder along with paying the fee,not
receiving verification of the signatures and not accepting the nomination.
A Councilor filing for Mayor must therefore submit his resignation at the time he turns in his
completed nominating petition to the City Recorder and pays the fee. The effective date of the
resignation may be as late as December 31, 2018.
II. Filling Vacancy
With the vacancy of Councilor Snider's seat, effective December 27,2018, Council will have
several options for filling that seat. Council will need to take action in a public meeting to
determine which course it chooses. The options are:
1. Special Election
Section 7 of the Charter provides, "In the event the office of Mayor or councilor becomes vacant
before the normal expiration of its term a special election may be held at the next available date to
fill the office for the unexpired term." Tigard Council has historically focused on the use of the
word"may" instead of"shall" and determined that holding a special election is an option,but not
a required option. Pursuant to state law,if the City holds a special election,it bears the entire cost
of that election.
2. Appointment
The Charter also gives the option that, "The Council may appoint a person to fill a vacancy until
an election can be held." It does not provide any further details,including how long the
appointee may serve. However,past Tigard Councils have not appointed a person for longer than
one year. For example:
• Jim Griffith was appointed to serve as Mayor from Sept 12, 2000 to the March 2001
election, following the death of Mayor Nicoli in June 2000. Mayor Griffith ran in a special
election in March 2001 to finish the remainder of the term, through December 2002.
• Craig Dirksen was appointed as Mayor to serve from January 13, 2004 until December 31,
2004, following the death of Mayor Griffith in November 2003. Mayor Dirksen was
elected in November 2004 to fill the remainder of the term, through December 2006.
• Tom Woodruff was appointed as Councilor in February 2004 to the November 2004
election, following the appointment of Craig Dirksen to Mayor in January 2004. Councilor
Woodruff was then elected in November 2004 for a full four-year term,January 2005
through December 2008.
A review of Council minutes and discussions surrounding these past vacancies showed a general
preference to not fill an unexpired term longer than one year by appointment. However, this is a
policy decision and past Council preference does not bind the current Council. Council may fill
the vacancy by appointment at any time following December 27, 2018, for any length of time,
including filling the remainder of the term, through December 31, 2020.
3. November 2018 General Election
Oregon law defines a general election as the election held on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November of each even-numbered year. A primary election is the third Tuesday in
May of each even-numbered year,per ORS 254.056. Any election that is not a primary or general
election is a special election.
The next non-special election opportunity following the submittal of the resignation will be the
November 2018 general election. Therefore, Council could elect to advertise the vacant seat for
the November election, to fill the remainder of the unexpired term. The November 2018 ballot
would therefore include:
• The election of two Councilors to fill two, 4-year terms.
• The election of one Councilor to fill the remaining 2 years of Councilor Snider's
unexpired term.
Candidates would need to indicate for which seat they were running at the time of filing.

City Council public comment 6-26-18
Classification of McDonald Street as"Arterial"in Transportation Plan
Alan Peck, 13995 SW 102nd Ave.
Good evening. My wife and I have lived on the corner of 102nd and McDonald for 25 years. In that time
we have seen the traffic go from moderate,to bad,to downright unsafe.
We recently sent a letter to the City Manager requesting better speed enforcement and traffic calming.
She answered that:
• McDonald has been re-classified as an arterial rather than a collector
• The City's plan is to eventually double the traffic from the current ii,000 vehicles per day to 2' ocx>
vehicles per day.That is about the same as Scholls Ferry between Roy Rogers and Murray.
Scholls Ferry is a real arterial street. It has controlled access and signals on side streets, safe crosswalks,
curbs and sidewalks and noise barrier walls where residences are close to the street. I have been a civil
engineer by profession for 37 years. McDonald Street does not meet any of the criteria for an arterial
street.
We have talked to police officers about the situation.Two immediate consequences of the re-
classification of McDonald as an arterial are:
• Police will generally not make a traffic stop unless the driver is going io mph over the limit.
• Police generally will not enforce the City's overweight truck ordinance 10.16.051
The result for residents is that a lot of cars and trucks(I have counted up to 30%)are going 45 mph
instead of the posted 35. Some cars go 5o to 6o mph.
A car going at 45 on McDonald is a hazard for entering traffic, because sight distance is limited from the
narrow side streets.A big truck going 45 takes longer to stop than a car, and is an extreme hazard for
those of us who live on the street. Just changing the name to"arterial"and letting the big trucks and
cars go faster will not make McDonald a real life arterial. It has just made it unsafe for all of us who live
there.
