Fanno Creek Remeander(City/Clean Water Services) Andy Newbury
WENT 92013 10/17/18
This joint project with Clean Water Services will result in lengthening the stream channel,which is recommended in order to lower
or eliminate the rate of incision or erosion by decreasing the steepness/slope of the streambed.This will require the removal and
replacement of the Ash Avenue Pedestrian Bridge,replacing it with one designed for better flood passage.The project also
includes reconstructing a segment of the Fanno Creek Trail providing for an upgraded trail that is not subject to failures due to
creek bank erosion.

A nine acre area of Dirksen Nature Park houses some remnant Oregon white oak populations.This area is being restored back to a
native oak savanna to be used for education and enjoyment by the public.The project will remove non-native trees,shrubs and
° grasses.Native grasses and wildflowers will be planted along with additional oak trees and a native shrub hedge around the
savanna.A walking trail through the savanna will be lined on each side with rustic buck and pole fencing made from trees taken
down as part of the restoration.

• • Summer mow completed. This allows camas and other native bulbs a head start on the more hardy grasses in the spring.
• Weed Control ahead of schedule diverted funding to additional planting.
• Begin transition to Parks Maintenance Staff. Have 1 year overlap to train.
• Fall 2018 Winter 2019 planting of oaks and additional shrubs as needed.
Upcoming Work • Remove Female Ash Trees along forest edge to significantly lower influx of Ash into the savanna
Items • Winter/Spring repair of area disturbed by construction staging for the shelter and nature play.
• Long-term management of Oak Savanna requires grazing or burning. Most of the savanna at Dirksen is wet meadow. If
grazing is chosen,need to get DSL/CWS approval to have animals in a wetland. If burning is used,need to have approval
and support of TVFR.
• Operations staff need to be updated and educated about the long-term care of the oak savanna. They may need an
annual budget to contract with a native area restoration company for an additional 5 years to ensure a strongly
established savanna.
• Extra seeding and weed removal of the area between Tigard Street and the edge of the savanna will be required as an
interim solution until half street improvements and the paved trail are constructed in 2021 or later.
Dirksen Nature Park-Nature Play Areas Carla Staedter
92016-04 10/17/18
This project will construct two play areas designed to provide park users with the opportunities to climb,run,jump and build with
rocks,logs and other natural features.One area will be designed for toddlers and younger children while the other will provide
more challenging natural play elements.The play areas will be sited on the outer edge of the park's mowed playfield bordering a
forest.They will be covered in bark chips and adjacent to the future restroom/interpretive shelter.

• Meeting with The Soil and Water Conservation District and the Tualatin River Watershed Council to discuss partnering on
outreach to private landowners in areas of the creek that are less incised.
• Work with Green Team to install downstream unstructured wood placement to capture silt.
Risks Issues
• Project will be scaled back to reflect changes in site conditions as a result of past private landowner stream restoration
efforts. Light touch grade control is all that will be required in lower reaches of the creek. While creek bed below the
Gaarde Culvert will require stream channel reconstruction. These site changes may cut the cost of the project in half.

• City maintenance crews to perform fire flow analysis within the 530 zone and to provide Bonita Pump Station set points.
This information will be used to recommend improvements to the existing pump station or decide if the existing pump
station can be improved.
• Next phase will be to design a temporary resolution until the Bull Mtn Road waterline is constructed or a permanent
solution that incorporates ASR 1 air entrainment issues with a new Canterbury PS.
• In order to upgrade the reliability of ASR 1,the design of the pump station is to incorporate ASR I air entrainment issues
into pump station design and construction.
• Cost of rehabbing the existing pump station or building a new pump station will need to be evaluated to the cost and
schedule of constructing a new pipeline from Reservoir 16 to the Canterbury PS. Constructing of the Bull Mtn Road line
will help alleviate winter water quality concerns in Reservoir 16.
• Entrained air bubbles in the discharge of Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well 1 are limiting the ability to operate this
pump station during peak day demands. City may elect to incorporate this work to upgrade ASR within the Canterbury
PS work.

The city conducts water master planning every five to ten years. The current Water Master Plan was adopted in May 2010,with a
minor addendum in 2014 to include River Terrace development. The Water System Master Plan is a comprehensive study of the
city's water source,storage and delivery systems and will be used to guide future water utility decisions. The master plan has a 30-
year planning horizon and is predicated on the city's anticipated population growth during that time.

MAX expansion passes Tigard City Council

by KATU News Newsletter:11-15-19
Tuesday,November 13th 2018
New MAX line (Courtesy TriMet)
TIGARD, Ore. —The Southwest Expansion of MAX is one step
closer to reality.
A new MAX train line could drastically change the commute
between Tigard and downtown Portland. For some, it could cut
their travel time in half.
t0 Commuting between Tigard and Portland on Interstate 5 can be
= horrendous, even taking a bus between the two cities can take an
hour.
TriMet says the new Southwest Corridor MAX line would cut
that time down to just 30 minutes.
Portland City Council decided to move forward with the plan at the
start of the month and Tuesday the plan passed 4-1 in Tigard City
Council.
The proposed line would connect Tigard to downtown Portland with construction to start as early as 2021 and
trains running by 2027. If it's approved, it's possible construction will begin in 2021. The target date for
ridership is six years later, in 2027. Metro estimates by 2035,the new line would take 43,000 riders on an
average weekday.
The proposed line would start near Portland State University. Some stops on the way to Tigard include
Burlingame, Hillsdale, Multnomah Village, and Mount Sylvania. The line would end next to Bridgeport
Village.
Now, it moves on to Metro for a vote on Thursday.
It's expected to cost$2.6 billion, making it the most expensive MAX line expansion in TriMet history.
Tigard homeowner kills suspected intruder, police
say
Updated Nov 14, 5:23 PM; Posted Nov 14, 11:03 AM
By Jim Ryan jryan@oregonian.com The Oregonian/OregonLive
A homeowner shot and killed a man trespassing on his property Wednesday in Tigard,police say.
Jim Wolf, a Tigard police spokesman, said Wednesday morning that he didn't know of any other injuries in the
shooting, which happened at a home on Southwest Sage Terrace. Police identified the man who was shot as 41-
year-old Jose Luis Gonzalez Jr.
Police said they were called to the home about 7:15 a.m., were met by the homeowner and escorted two teen
occupants of the home to safety.
Wolf said Gonzalez was either dead or dying by the time police arrived.
The homeowner knew Gonzalez, police said, but it's unclear why Gonzalez tried to enter his property.
Wolf said he didn't know the circumstances of the shooting, whether it happened inside or outside the home,
whether Gonzalez went inside at any point or if he was armed.
Wolf also didn't know how many times Gonzalez was shot.
Police haven't publicly identified the homeowner. He's cooperating with investigators and has not been arrested,
Wolf said about 10:30 a.m.
The incident remains under investigation.

Tigard council approves Southwest Corridor light rail preferred
alternative route
Ray Pitz Tuesday,November 13, 2018
Despite some concerns,the council approves two measures that support the Southwest Corridor's preferred
alternative route.
Despite some reservations,the Tigard City Council has signed off on two measures of support for the preferred
alternative alignment of the Southwest Corridor light rail as it makes its way through Tigard.
In a 4-1 vote Tuesday night,the council approved both a resolution of support for the alignment and a
memorandum of understanding between several government agencies regarding the light rail route and
affordable housing in its path.
Councilor Marc Woodard was the lone "no" vote on both measures.
"It's not a perfect alignment ..." Kenny Asher,the city's director of community development, told councilors
before their vote. "That's because there is no perfect alignment."
Still,the majority of those testifying during a public hearing supported the plan that will result in five TriMet
light rail stations within Tigard city limits.
Michelle Cheney, a branch manager with the Portland Clinic, and also on the board of directors for the Tigard
Chamber of Commerce, said she supported the alignment, noting that a steering committee listened to their
recommendations of not displacing their Tigard clinic along the route, a possibility earlier on.
The preferred alignment also had the support of local politicos, including Washington County Commissioner
Roy Rogers, Metro Councilor(and former Tigard mayor) Craig Dirksen and Oregon House District 35 Rep.
Margaret Doherty,who all spoke in favor of the alignment that would have trains enter the city along Barbur
Boulevard before crossing Highway 217.
The end of the line would be at Bridgeport Village in Tualatin.
A proposed Park and Ride there would mean relocation of a Village Inn restaurant, although TriMet officials
have said they are working through extensive public outcry that a different location be found.
Rogers said the council was making a major decision about the future of transportation—some of which won't
be realized until years to come—as well as creating a huge economic opportunity.
But there were detractors and concerns voiced as well.
James Caster, a nine-year Tigard resident, said the light rail line would not solve traffic congestion, and he
expressed concerns about the number of homes and businesses that would be demolished along the way. He told
the councilors that, if they approved the alignment, it would prove they were beholden to special interests and
the "Metro dictatorship."
Likewise, Mike Strand, founder and CEO of Apex Industries, a precision machining and fabrication company at
12670 Hall Boulevard, said he heard several weeks ago that his business "is going to have to go away" to make
way for what rill likely house a light rail station, park and ride and the Tigard Transit Center,which have all
been studied for that area, along with a TriMet operations and maintenance facility.
It was the operations and maintenance facility, Woodard said,that irritated him the most, saying the first time
he heard about it was only April or May of this year.
"It was a shock to me when I heard about it," he said. He also called the route a "risky business deal."
Council President Jason Snider said he wasn't aware of the facility until recently as well, although city staff has
said it's been discussed for some time.
Meanwhile, several councilors also have expressed concerns about their hope that the Hall Street station, now
planned for the east side of Hall Boulevard, should have been on the west side of Hall and closer to the
downtown core of Tigard.
Snider asked TriMet officials what it would take to move the route west of Hall and the impact on travel time.
They responded it would be an extra$80 million to $100 million and add an estimated six minutes to travel
time.
Councilor Tom Anderson, who was on a committee that helped draft the memorandum of understanding, was
that he felt TriMet and the city came up with a very good compromise and believes the Hall station will be very
close to downtown Tigard.
While Mayor John Cook said he didn't love the preferred route,the issue at hand was whether to approve the
preferred option and not a vote on whether the council wanted light rail or not.
"It's not the best alignment; it's the best one we could come up with," said Cook, who was also on the Southwest
Corridor Steering Committee.
He reiterated what he's said before, "This doesn't solve the congestion. It just solves the future congestion."
Already approved by the Portland City Council and the Washington County Commission,the final step in the
process comes Thursday when Metro takes a vote on the preferred alternative alignment.

PHOTO COURTESY OF TRIMET- This map shows how the Southwest Corridor light rail will come down
Barbur Boulevard into Tigard before ending in Tualatin.
Despite concerns by some members of the Tigard City Council about the planned location of a downtown light
rail station,the council likely will sign off with conditions on a resolution next Tuesday supporting a preferred
alternative for a Southwest Corridor light rail system that will run through the city.
On Oct. 30,the council met in a work session with city staff along with Metro and TriMet representatives to
discuss the preferred alternative route that begins in Portland and makes its way into the city along Barbur
Boulevard before crossing Interstate 5 into the city.
During the meeting, Kenny Asher, the city's director of community development, told the council although they
would hear a staff report that might sound negative it's not because the city feels negative about the project. The
applicant for the project is TriMet with Metro being the ultimate decision-maker involving the project.
City staff said among the issues it has with the preferred alternative is the economic impact of running the light
rail into the Hunziker Industrial Core area, which could potentially displace 594 employees and affect 21
businesses. TriMet would be responsible for relocating those businesses at its expense.
The five TriMet light rail stations earmarked for the city include those at 68th Avenue and Highway 99W,
Elmhurst Street, Hall Boulevard, Bonita Road and Upper Boones Ferry.
However, some council members are concerned that the location of a planned downtown Tigard station is east
of Hall Boulevard and not in downtown Tigard's geographical area.
Councilor John Goodhouse said residents he's talked to are concerned there's no downtown light rail stop
planned; or, specifically, no stop on the west side of Hall Boulevard.
While that location isn't expected to change, Asher told the council that the city, TriMet and Metro are expected
to resolve other issues through a memorandum of understanding between the parties.
Still,the exact location of the Hall Boulevard station hasn't been determined, only that it would be east of Hall
and south of Hunziker Street in the general area of where Archers Precision, a metal fabrication facility, is now
located.
A light rail station, park and ride and the Tigard Transit Center also were studied for location in that area as well
as a TriMet operations and maintenance facility. That latter facility could employ as many as 150 people.
City officials have said a steering committee looked at a dozen alternative routes coming up with a preferred
choice, which is a modification to an original Ash Street alignment. That modification, now part of the preferred
alternative, was an effort to avoid taking out businesses along Beveland Street by moving the alignment up to
Elmhurst Street.
The rail line ultimately would end at Bridgeport Village with a park-and-ride station being discussed for a site
currently occupied by a Village Inn restaurant in Tualatin. That proposal has drawn the ire of many area

with the respective jurisdictions involved.
"They were the white knight in this and played referee," he pointed out. "I think Metro deserves a lot more
credit than they get."
