Summer Paving
Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc.is slurry sealing many streets in northern Tigard in late July and early August. A
slurry seal is a liquid mixture of thick oil, sand, and other additives applied to the surface of a roadway to extend its
life by restoring the asphalt binder near the pavement surface. The first street each day is closed at about 7:30 a.m.,
and streets remain closed for 3 - 6 hours while the slurry is applied and as it dries. Affected residents have received
a mailed notice and map and will receive a door-hanger a couple of days before slurry seal. About 13 miles streets
have been slurry sealed so far. The current schedule is:

Dear Liz,
A gracious thank you to you, Mayor Cook and the Tigard City Council,for your generous social
services grant funding of$3,200 to Community Partners for Affordable Housing(CPAH). ($'1,200
from a City Sponsored Grant recommendation, and$2,000 from Marland Henderson Grant Program
recommendation;$3,200 check received 7-18-18). We are grateful for your continued partnership
in this important work!
Y t These funds will specifically help CPAH increase our Eviction Prevention and
�? Housing Stabilization programs for our Tigard residents.
CPAH will also continue our mission of building new housing communities—
including Red Rock Creek Commons in the Tigard Triangle, which we hope
will begin construction in 2019—along with providing After School

That Camry belonged to Kimberly Cavallo. She said that

"Let Cities Work" - LOC Announces Legislative Priorities
SALEM,Ore. —The League of Oregon Cities' Board of Directors has set six legislative priorities for the
2019 session of the Oregon Legislature. The priorities were established through a committee process in
the spring and a statewide vote of the League's member cities.The six priorities were approved by the
LOC Board Wednesday and focus on the theme,"Let Cities Work."
Specifically,the League is requesting state investment in city solutions for systemic problems,and
allowing cities to address the needs and goals of their communities with all necessary tools. The six
priorities are:
1. Mental Health Investment
While the state and Oregon's 36 counties serve as the direct providers of mental health
services,service levels have not kept pace with demands.This has resulted in cities responding
to an increasing number of situations in which people are in crisis. In 2015,the Legislature
invested in crisis intervention services,expansion of emergency access to care,rental
assistance for mental health clients,and specialized training for police.The League asks that
the Legislature recognize the power of these investments and continue to protect them through
the challenging budget process in 2019.
2. Revenue Reform/Cost Containment
The League recognizes that Oregon needs a bipartisan deal in 2019 to address the fiscal crisis
at both the state and local government levels. Cost increases are simply outpacing revenues-
even in a booming economy-and there is no relief in sight. Revenue reform and cost
containment are needed,and for cities two items must be included in a package:
Property Tax Reform:
The property tax system in Oregon is broken and in need of repair due to Measures 5 and 50,
both of which are more than 20 years old. The League proposes that the property tax system
be constitutionally and statutorily reformed to restore fairness and local choice. Adjustments
should be included in efforts during the 2019 session on state and local tax reform and
improving funding for schools.
PERS Reform:
The League will seek legislation to modernize the PERS investment pool,ensure proper
financial controls are adhered to,and give cities greater voice in how their monies are
invested. Further,the League will advocate for legislation that calls for the risks and costs of
the pension to be shared by employees,but in a manner that impacts employees through an
equitable calculation.
(continued)

"Let Cities Work"-LOC Announces Legislative Priorities
3. Housing/Homelessness Improvement
Across the state,cities are looking to address housing shortages and increases in homelessness
that are impacting residents. The League will advocate for: additional technical assistance that
will help cities plan for affordable housing; a stronger partnership for long-term solutions to
homelessness;and an increased state investment in housing development and services for the
homeless.
4. Infrastructure Finance and Resilience Investment
The League will advocate for an increase in the state's investment in key infrastructure
funding sources, including,but not limited to:the Special Public Works Fund(SPWF),the
Brownfield Redevelopment Fund,and the Regionally Significant Industrial Site loan program.
This advocacy will also seek an investment and set aside through the SPWF for seismic
resilience planning and related infrastructure improvements to make Oregon water and
wastewater systems more resilient. League research has identified a minimum of$7.6 billion
in infrastructure needs for municipal water and wastewater systems in the next 20 years.
Without key infrastructure investments,Oregon's economy-cannot continue to grow.
5. Right-of-Way and Franchise Fee Authority Preservation/Broadband Investment
The League will continue to oppose any legislation that preempts local authority to
manage public rights of way and cities' ability to set the rate of compensation for the use of
such rights of way. In addition,the League will seek additional state support and funding for
increased and equitable broadband infrastructure deployment,especially in rural areas,while
opposing any legislative efforts to restrict municipal authority to provide broadband services.
6. Third Party Building Inspection Preservation
The League will seek to clarify the ability of local governments to continue the practice of
hiring private-party building officials and building inspectors to provide services for local
building inspection programs. This includes recognizing that privately-employed, specialized
inspectors can perform specialized inspections.
About the League of Oregon Cities
Founded in 1925,the League of Oregon Cities is a voluntary association representing all 241 of Oregon's
incorporated cities. The League helps cities serve their citizens by providing legislative advocacy,policy
consultation,networking and training,technical assistance and publications.
Officals disagree over Metro bond at campaign meeting
Jim Redden, Portland Tribune Thursday, August 02, 2018
Affordable housing measure is either necessary or poorly planned, Beaverton Chamber of Commerce
committee told.
COURTESY METRO- The Sunset Vew Apartments in Beaverton is an
example of the kind of affordale housing units that can be built if the
Metro bond measure and the proposed amemdnent to the Oregon
Constitution both pass at the Nov. 6 general election.
nu
n
Metro's affordable housing measure is either a long overdue
-- response to skyrocketing home costs or a poorly-written
measure that will force more people out of their homes,
~" depending on which elected official you listen to.
The elected regional government has referred a$652.8
million bond to build up to 3,900 new affordable housing units to the Nov. 6 general election ballot. Metro
President Tom Hughes and Metro President-elect Lynn Peterson supported Measure 26-199 before the Business
Advisory Council of the Beaverton Chamber of Commerce on Thursday. Washington County Chair Andy
Duyck opposed it.
"If you work hard, you should be able to put a roof over your head," said Peterson, noting that workers must
earn$25 an hour to afford a two-bedroom home anywhere in the region today.
"Metro put the measure on the ballot before it was finished," said Duyck,pointing out that a proposed
amendment to the Oregon Constitution easing restrictions on bond spending must also pass for more that 2,400
units to be built.
The meeting was the first joint appearance of the two sides in the campaign. Hughes, Peterson and Duyck all
agreed that low-income households are struggling to afford their homes in today's market. But they disagreed
over the measure, which would cost the average homeowner$60 a year for 20 years.
Hughes and Peterson said Metro placed the measure on the ballot after local goverments asked for money to
help build housing that is affordable to household who earn below the area's media family income.
"Because Metro has a regional tax base, it's the most efficient way to raise money," said Hughes.
Duyck called the number of additional units it would fund "a drop in the bucket" and predicted the cost would
eventually force some low-income homeowners and renters out of their homes.
"The measure will do more harm than good," said Duyck.
Duyck also accused Metro of contributing to the affordable housing crisis by not including enough land for
development in the urban growth boundary it administers when growth can occur. Hughes said other regions
said the boundary-is not to blame for rising home costs, noting the same problem is occuring regions without
them.
Despite the disagreements,the exchanges between Hughes, Peterson and Duyck were cordial, reflecting the fact
that they have known each other for years. Hughes was the mayor of Hillsboro before being elected to Metro,
and Peterson is a previous chair of the Clackamas County Commission.
The Business Advisory Council will advise the board of the Beaverton Chamber of Commerce on whether to
support the measure. Council members expressed a variety of concerns during the question-and-answer period
that followed the initial presentations, including whether land used for affordable housing project will reduce
the property available for market-rate developments.
Passage of the measure would create a new affordable housing funding role for Metro, which is currently
charged with regional land use and transportation, solid waste management, and operating a series of natural,
recreational and visitor sites. The Metro Council referred the measure to the ballot after declaring that the
current lack of housing affordable to households earning below the regional median family income is a regional
crisis.
The measure is endorsed by many local elected officials in all three counties, along with affordable housing
providers and operators, community-based organizations, and business and labor groups. The campaign in
support of it is being run by Yes for Affordable Housing, a political actions committee that has so far reported
raising over$175,000 in cash and in-kind contributions.
The opposition campaign is being run by Affordable Housing for WHO?, a PAC associated with Affordable
Oregon, an advocacy organization that blames government regulations and fees for much of the affordable
housing crisis. It has so far reported raising a little over$8,000,most of it from Duyck.
Clean Water Services names general manager
Peter Wong
Wednesday, August 08, 2018
Diane Taniguchi-Dennis moves up from deputy to top spot on Sept. 1 after retirement of Bill Gaff!, who has
served 24 years.
Diane Taniguchi-Dennis will step up to succeed Bill Gaffi as the general manager of Clean Water Services, which
covers the urban areas of Washington County.
County commissioners, who double as the governing board of Clean Water Services, approved the appointment
Tuesday, Aug. 7.
"I have great faith that the agency will be in good hands,"said Board Chairman Andy Duyck, who was a
commissioner-elect when Gaffi was named general manager in 1994. Washington County's population then was
nearing 400,000; today, it is closing in on 600,000, most coming under Clean Water Services.
Gaffi, who turns 70 this month, is retiring on Aug. 31. "You have changed this organization and guided it in a positive
way,"said Duyck, who is retiring at the end of the year.
Gaffi has said that one of his achievements as general manager, aside from broadening the mission of wastewater
treatment, is the team that runs the agency.
"It's been a labor of love," he said. "We have good people there—and your support(as a board) has been critical to
our success."
Taniguchi-Dennis, now 57, came to the agency as deputy general manager in 2011. She takes over the top job on
Sept. 1. Her salary is $225,000.
For 12 years before she came to Clean Water Services, she was city engineer and assistant public works director,
and since 2003, was public works director for Albany.
During her tenure there, she oversaw completion of a joint wastewater treatment and reclamation plant for the cities
of Albany and Millersburg, and a 40-acre wetland for the cities that feeds into the Willamette River.
It is similar to Fernhill Wetlands, 700 acres managed by Clean Water Services, Forest Grove and the Fernhill
Wetlands Council. Such wetlands remove nutrients and cool treated wastewater before the water is returned to
rivers. The alternative would be expensive energy-guzzling cooling systems.
Taniguchi-Dennis earned a bachelor's degree in 1983 from Cornell University, and a master's degree in business
administration in 2008 from the Atkinson Graduate School of Management at Willamette University.
She sits on three national boards: National Association of Clean Water Agencies, WateReuse, and Water Research
Foundation.
