ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING
Redevelopment Manager Farrelly introduced this agenda item. Town Center Advisory Commission
Members introduced themselves-Tom Murphy, Carine Arendes,Tim Myshak, Faez Soud,Lucas
Brook, Chair Kate Rogers, Ryan Ruggiero, Gloria Pinzon, and Chris Haedinger were present. Mr.
Farrelly said the TCAC is a dedicated group of volunteers whose charge is to make urban renewal
recommendations to the Board of the Town Center Development Agency,budget and
implementation measures. They are working this year on both the downtown urban renewal plan
and the new Tigard Triangle urban renewal area. The City Center urban renewal plan is entering its
twelfth year and maturing while the Triangle area is getting its first TIF allocation this fall. The
TTAC members gave their 2018 Goals Update and their plan for the 4t' Quarter. Their presentation
included a PowerPoint.
Chair Rogers said TCAC members will discuss their accomplishments so far and what is ahead in
the 4`'quarter.

TCAC Member Brooks said the Triangle is a very different area of opportunity and the TCAC
wanted to understand it as they seek to provide the TCDA insight. They got a briefing from staff on
what has been done so far and what the plan is going forward. They also discussed equitable urban
renewal with staff and recently took a tour of the area. It was very helpful to see the Triangle is all its
forms, from professional office building setting, to commercial and scattered residential. It helped
them to understand the complexity of developing this area. They will continue working to increase
their understanding of this space.
TCAC Member Arendes spoke of accomplishments related to the SW Corridor.They planned to
participate in planning and education activities associated with the SW Corridor and this took a
variety of forms and included activities as a group and individually. The TCAC asked for and
received project briefings from TriMet and Metro at two TCAC meetings and a joint meeting held
with the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee. They attended open houses and participated
in the Metro SW Corridor Community Advisory Committee for the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement Discovery and Recommendations Process (CAC). She and Commissioner Myshak
served as the appointee and alternate to the CAC for meetings starting in 2017 and continuing
through August of 2018. Members of the TCAC participated in various ways in the SW Corridor
equitable housing project activities in order to make an informed recommendation to Metro's CAC
and to make sure specific areas within the Triangle and downtown urban renewal would receive
attention from Metro and TriMet staff and other members of the CAC.
As a committee, the TCAC submitted a letter during the SW Corridor DEIS public comment period
supporting alignment options that avoided impacts to low-income housing identified in the federal
process as environmental justice populations, although they realize that more must be done to
preserve housing affordability. The TCAC advocated for a through route rather than a branched
alternative,which would have served Tigard's downtown on only half of its trips. They also strongly
advocated for at least two stops in the Triangle and preservation of existing commercial
development in the Triangle that already meets the vision for the area.All of these ideas were
incorporated into the project staff's proposed alignment;however, that alignment contained a few
surprises with the Park and Ride on SW 68'and the station east of Hall Boulevard, coupled with a
maintenance facility in the same vicinity. She said it is important for the city at large as well as the
urban renewal areas that TCAC continues to stay at the table and negotiates safe,walkable
development around parking garages, the maintenance yard,proposed-station locations,and make
sure those designs are compatible for the vision of mixed use and denser housing options in those
areas. One major concern is the possibility of closing Hall Boulevard hundreds of times a day for a
rail crossing. The TCAC believes that any Hall Boulevard station needs to be carefully designed to
ensure connectivity with the downtown area and safety for all users while avoiding serious traffic
impacts.
TCAC Member Arendes said a member participated in the SW Corridor housing work by serving on
a Metro advisory group and some attended public meetings held at St.Anthony's Church. It is clear
that work is already being done on missing middle housing, development code changes and project
prioritization in the Triangle.
TCAC Chair Rogers said in the 2'and 3rd quarters, the TCAC talked a lot about walkability and
connectivity,working to make sure that light rail station placement in Tigard takes advantage of the
opportunity to activate the area around stations and they are developed to be walkable and
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — October 16, 2018
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 12
connected to the Downtown and the Triangle. One thing that became obvious to them on their
Triangle tour is that walkability is an issue. There is really no main street. They discussed how great
it would be to create main street blocks in the Triangle with mixed-use housing and bottom floors
with restaurants, cafes and businesses. This will help create some walkability like in the downtown.
TCAC Chair Rogers said a lot of discussion was held on equitable businesses and how a self-
supporting fund could be created that would encourage and incubate equitable businesses,whether
using grants,leased property income, or a combination, to help create such a local business. It would
also be good to tie affordable housing to affordable small business space with the goal that the small
business would outgrow that space so another person or family could take over the responsibility
and grow another business.
TCAC Member Murphy focused on future projects, specifically the Red Rock Creek Commons,
affordable housing that will be completed in 2020. In 2017 the TCDA approved a commitment to
provide between$100,000 and$200,000 in seed money for affordable housing. A slide was shown
of a rendering for the approximately nine-tenths-acre parcel that is close to Pacific Highway. There
will be 48 one-bedroom units,all below market rate. There are 24 Section 8 vouchers already
assigned so people with very low incomes will be able to rent an apartment. The nexus between
chronic mental illness and homelessness is well recognized so eight units will be set aside for persons
with severe mental illness. Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) has partnered with
Luke Dorf to provide supportive services for those residents and was recently awarded$600,000
from the Oregon Health Authority to help with those costs.The TCDA Board's promise to provide
financial support was contingent on CPAH securing other funding. To date using that seed money,
CPAH has lined up approximately$12.5 million of funding for Red Rock Commons. That is
leverage. This board's commitment to providing the first dollars was the fulcrum that allowed
CPAH to do the heavy lifting required to bring in those other commitments. Mr. Murphy said the
significance of the city's support far exceeds the purchasing power of$200,000 because it convinced
other funders at the federal and state levels and the private sector that this was a worthwhile project.
There is still a funding gap but this project will get built. CPAH is planning the groundbreaking in
spring or summer of 2019 and completion in early 2020. It will not solve the affordable housing
problem but it will help. He said that commitment to affordable housing is in the DNA of Tigard's
city government,both in council and staff, and commitment to Red Rock Creek Commons is
further proof of that commitment.
Chair Rogers gave council a preview of the remainder of their year's activities which include the
TCAC Year End Report and Recommendations for the TCDA.They are also doing a deep dive into
the Triangle,looking at demographics, existing and potential regulations and codes and development
of a vision for the Tigard Triangle. A review of the city project plan will be done in November. Part
2 of the deep dive is scheduled for December as well as receiving a briefing on affordable housing,
particularly the senior center site.They will also work on budget priorities and prepare the financial
impact statement draft.
TCDA Director Woodard asked if there had been any discussion on the station related to plaza
build-out to activate that space. He suggested ideas including flash mobs, concerts, food carts or
rental space.
TCAC Member Arendes replied that there were some discussions on using the public works yard to
locate a plaza or using other locations for synergy with the station. She acknowledged concern about
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES— October 16, 2018
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 4 of 12
crossing Hall Boulevard,whether by pedestrian or vehicle and said until which side of Hall
Boulevard is selected,it was hard to decide. TCDA Director Woodard asked the TCAC to keep
opportunities in mind to make public space sustainable so maintenance is covered. TCAC Chair
Rogers said they have also looked at best design principles for urban stations and activating them as
much as possible. Chair Cook said over the next 12 months the stations will be designed and it
could be a goal of the TCAC to look at activation,walkability and connectivity for these stations.
TCDA Chair Cook asked for the briefing received on the SW Corridor Equitable Housing Strategy
and the IGA recently signed with TriMet regarding remnant parcels for affordable housing. TCAC
Member Arendes said that is one important strategy and another is making sure development code
changes ensure there can be different kinds of housing options in downtown Tigard. Actions to
consider are getting up to speed on the Network Oregon Housing Acquisition Fund and building a
relationship with the Community Land Trust. The Affordable Housing Task Force being
formulated now and supported by city staff should result in additional ideas.
TCAC Member Pinzon said she was excited about conservation of existing affordable housing and
said it can make a bigger impact at less expense. She said citizens depend on council to make those
policy changes. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said an affordable housing strategy was
presented to Council for their acknowledgement in July and staff will bring different policies
forward for consideration in the future.
TCDA Chair Cook referred to TCAC Member Murphy's comments on the Red Rock Creek
Commons seed money and said we need to let citizens know of other things the City has done to
encourage affordable housing. There is a property tax exemption program for qualified affordable
housing projects and six in Tigard receive it. Tigard was the first city in Washington County to do
this. Tigard also became the first city to remove system development charges for qualified affordable
housing. There are charges on the county side that the City cannot control and he has started a
county-wide discussion. He commended Tigard for being in the forefront on supporting affordable
housing. He thanked the TCAC for their work and commitment.
TCDA Chair Cook noted that for this item on the agenda Council would reconvene as the City
Council.
5. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO AMEND FEMA
FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS
A. Mayor Cook opened the public hearing.
B. Mayor Cook announced that anyone could offer testimony and there was a sign-up sheet at
the front of the room.
C Associate Planner Lindor gave the staff report on proposed amendments to the maps
related to the FEMA floodplain that became effective October 19 and associated city
regulations for floodplains. She noted that information on the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) is in the staff report and she can answer any questions Council has.
Tigard went through an update in 2016 and amended floodplain maps. Since then there
have been areas within Washington County identified for special study.All of those areas
are outside of the City of Tigard but because this effort is county-wide,Tigard must adopt
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES— October 16, 2018
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of 12
the new maps. There was also a review of Tigard's ordinance to make sure it is in
compliance with NFIP requirements. Changes from FEMA mostly related to definitions,
manufactured homes and the process for notifying FEMA of new technical information.
The City was notified in May that it had until October 19 to adopt these. The ordinance
being considered is an emergency ordinance to meet that deadline so Tigard can participate
in the NFIP.
D. Public Testimony—There was none.
E. Response to testimony by staff. None because there was no testimony.
F. Mayor Cook closed the Public Hearing.
G. Council Discussion and Consideration: Ordinance No. 18-21
Councilor Woodard found a grammatical correction in Exhibit A, 18.510.9 R-4. He
suggested striking the word"an."
Mayor Cook commented that since there is so much flooding going on, the flood insurance
industry is changing definitions of what can be construed as being flooded. It also changed
the definition of fencing and actions (putting accessory buildings) in the floodplain. He said
it seemed to him that the flood insurance agency is changing what they will cover.Associate
Planner Lindor said her impression is that FEMA is trying to discourage people from
building in the floodplain and in the last round of FEMA changes there were things exempt
from land use review if they were in the floodplain but now anything built in a floodplain
has to go through review.
Mayor Cook said something could have been built at a time when the floodplain map was
different. It met the requirements at the time of building but if the maps change, they will
not be covered. Mayor Cook said it is frustrating for citizens when the rules change.
Council President Snider verified that if we choose not to participate it is a problem because
our residents could not get flood insurance. He moved to adopt Ordinance No. 18-21.
Councilor Woodard seconded the motion.
City Attorney Rihala said the change Councilor Woodard suggested earlier is appropriate
and asked that it be placed in a motion.
Councilor Woodard moved for an amendment to the motion to approve the ordinance
with a correction to Exhibit A, 18.510.9.R.4 to remove the word, "an"before the hyphen
on the first line. Councilor Anderson seconded his motion.
City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the ordinance.

6. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION FOR FIRST QUARTER
BUDGET SUPPLEMENTAL
A. Mayor Cook opened the public hearing.
B. Mayor Cook announced the hearing procedures and said there was a sign-up sheet at the
front of the room and anyone may offer testimony.
C Senior Management Analyst Kang gave the staff report and a brief description of the
requests. Community Development has four requests: inspections systems ongoing
maintenance, server replacement,annual licensing for electronic plan review software and a
.50 FTE building code enforcement officer.
In the Finance Department, there is a Metropolitan Area Communications Commission
grant of$74,900 to be recognized. This will implement the next general security to the
virtualized environment and reduce the chance of cyberattacks.
For Police the request is for the photo red light program. The photo red light contract cost
is $4,250 per approach per intersection for a total of eight approaches at three intersections.
The total annualized cost is $204,000. Based on the projected workload the Police
Department wants to hire one police officer and based on an evaluation after the first year
of the program will determine if one FTE is sufficient. This will be funded in the future
with increased revenue from the program. Related to photo red light Central Services has
an increase in municipal court staff and judicial support hours. The Facilities Division will
need to move and remodel the court office to accommodate additional staff in a secure area
with limited access.
The Police Department has a carryover for the Mark43 records management system that
was approved in May and required a 50 percent down payment at contract execution. The
balance is due in December. This is a carryforward of previously identified funds for FY 18
in order to support the down payment expenditure being recognized in FY 19.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — October 16, 2018
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 12
Public Works has three FTE requests. The first is 1 FTE for a management analyst to
support the new water system, complete the water system analysis and work with the water
utility team on asset management and general water utility analytical support. The second
FTE is 1 FTE for the Utility Apprenticeship Program which will create a pathway to
qualified candidates and give the opportunity to apprentice with the department to learn
skills and abilities in order to meet minimum requirements of the journeyman-level utility
worker classification. Successful candidates will be eligible for future job openings. Their
last FTE is for 1 FTE for a lead worker for the Green Team.
Public Works has two other FTE requests. One is for a carry-forward of community
engagement support,approved as part of the FY 18 3' Quarter Supplemental and the other
is recognition of an emergency response services grant.
Senior Management Analyst Kang said most of the Capital Improvement Program requests
are carry forwards of prior year appropriations. They include the Americans with
Disabilities Act Transition Plan, Oak Savanna Restoration at Dirksen Nature Park,Upper
Boones Ferry Road/Durham Adaptive Signal,Fanno Creek Remeander, Dirksen Nature
Park Nature Play area,City of Tigard/TTSD Park Development, Fanno Creek Trail
Connection,Water Master Plan and Tigard Street Heritage Trail.
The GIS centralization will create efficiencies and consistency within the GIS division. No
additional funding is necessary.
D. Public Testimony—No one testified.
E. Response to testimony by staff. None
F. Mayor Cook closed the Public Hearing.
G. Council Discussion and Consideration: Resolution No. 18-45
Mayor Cook asked about the Green Team's work. City Engineer Faha said when road
projects are done the City takes over maintenance requirements for the planter areas.
They also maintain water quality facilities and Water Division sites. She said we require
stormwater retention in developments and those retention facilities serving more than one
property are required to become public facilities. They clear sediment and clean out trash.
The water quality facilities must be kept at levels required by Clean Water Services.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodard on the Green Team, Utilities Manager
Goodrich said the team is made up of a supervisor and four staff. They use seasonal help
during the summer to work on vegetative growth. It has always been a small team and
analysis shows their workload is increasing.
Councilor Woodard asked about the utility apprentice program and asked if the city had
done this previously. Mr. Goodrich said it is difficult to compete in today's job market and
we need employees experienced in utility work. This program is a synergistic development
to see if there are ways to retain employees and at the same time develop staff to see the
value in working for the city.We want to help them obtain the required Commercial
Driver's License and other licenses so they are more prepared for openings when they
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — October 16, 2018
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov ( Page 8 of 12
occur. The funding would come from the specific divisions within the department that are
doing the training. If this grows, staff may come back to council to discuss expanding the
program. Councilor Woodard said apprenticeship programs are phenomenal and he
commended Public Works for getting this started.
Council President Snider asked a technical question about the IVR server, noting that servers
can fail in different ways and why wasn't staff just replacing the part that is failing.
IT Manager Nolop replied that the server is on an old operating system that the new
software vendor cannot support. Building Services Supervisor Howse said that calls the
Building Division rely upon are being dropped. Utility Billing also uses it for outbound
notifications and it is the main inspection request line. Council President Snider asked if
staff has been monitoring the fail rate and Ms. Howse said they have been for the past six
months.
Councilor Woodard commented that the photo red light enforcement program looks like a
good program and asked what is included in the monthly cost. Mayor Cook said it is related
to the equipment, the vendor monitoring and giving the city a written report. The vendor
pre-reviews the citations then they come to the police department for review. Councilor
Woodard asked about service maintenance fees and Police Chief McAlpine said if a system
fails,it falls on the vendor to repair it. The contract is for five years.
Council President Snider moved to approve Resolution No. 18-45 and Councilor
Goodhouse seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the
resolution.

8. CONSIDER AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 12-16 TO EXPAND THE AUDIT
COMMITTEE MEM 3ERSHIPAND RESPONSIBILITIES
Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance presented this item. This resolution will
temporarily expand both the membership and duties of the Audit Committee. They currently work
with the City's independent financial auditors, helps them set the scope,reviews the audit and makes
presentations of findings to City Council. They provide transparency and independence to the audit
process. This resolution will, for a two-year period, expand the audit committee membership for
two at-large members to serve a two-year term. In addition to the existing duties,the committee will
review performance audit findings,review performance metrics suggested by our performance
auditors and review staff reports on progress and measurement of those metrics. The committee will
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — October 16, 2018
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 10 of 12
then make a report to Council on or before December of 2020 on recommendations for any future
performance audit activity. Mr. LaFrance said this will provide management and maintenance of the
findings of performance audits done in the next two years and there will be some oversight by
independent residents of Tigard.
Council President Snider noted that preference is already given to those with CPA experience in the
prior Audit Committee resolution and asked why the committee should be further be loaded with
CPA experience for the performance audits. He said the current committee is filled with CPAs or
those who at least are accounts. He suggested adding professionals with experience with
performance audits or giving preference to people who have expertise in some of our larger funds
such as police or library. He said someone who has run a library elsewhere or someone who has
been an executive leader at another police department would be good at this. Mr.LaFrance
responded that staff was attempting to get someone with a broad perspective or experience,and if
we get someone who is very specialized in one area,they would not be as aware of other areas.
CPAs are familiar with audits,both financial and performance.
Mayor Cook followed up as a CPA and said CPAs understand performance audits and fund
accounting better than non-CPAs,but not every CPA does performance audits. He said we could
take the word CPA out or add the word"and."
Councilor Woodard suggested adding the word,benchmarking. He said when looking for
benchmarks against other city operations the committee may find ways to combine contracts,which
is standard in the corporate world. He asked that"benchmarking"be added as a qualifier.
City Manager Wine said benchmarking is included in the RFP for firms to do the performance
audits. Councilor Goodhouse suggested adding"other related experience" will open the field.
Council President Snider moved to approve Resolution 18-46 with edits to section 1.B.a - "Expand
its membership to include two at-large residents that will serve for a single two-year term ending
December 31,2020. Preference will be given to residents who have professional experience with
performance audits,benchmarking and/or have extensive expertise in one or more departments
similar to the City of Tigard departmental operations." Councilor Woodard seconded the motion.
Mayor Cook said he was surprised that we are only going for two years on this. City Manager Wine
said Council's proposal was to embark upon performance audits that would be complete within a
year. Councilor Woodard suggested adding a statement to the resolution that there would be a
follow-up discussion on whether it continues. City Manager Wine said making recommendations for
a future performance audit is included in Section 1 of the resolution.
