Logic, common sense and a spirit of community brought those pians to a halt. May the same occur with this proposal. THE BUILDING OF THIS SENIOR HOUSING WILL BOTH DEMINISH AND COMPROMISE THE QUALITY OF THE EXISTING SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER. Somewhere in the promotional material promoting the building of this housing it is stated that one of the advantages is that is immediately adjacent, if not actually attached, to the senior center. This implies what is probably true. The residents will occupy the center as their living room. All others, over time, will be visitors. The center currently brings together seniors from all over the community. Some come with great effort. But all those that come make an effort because they want to be there. This creates a certain spirit of community. And while we have not visited the center in the last five Years (At one time we had a key), the last few times we were there, there were enough seniors present to make the main floor seem crowded. And presently, on most days, we see few, if any, vacate parking places so we do not believe the center is no less popular. Can the center easily and graciously accommodate these new residents and stili maintain a quality experience for the other senior citizens of Tigard? PARKING. This was an issue when this site was being considered for low income housing back in the late 70s. And it is just as relevant day. Where are the residents going to park their cars? We estimate that twelve parking places will be eliminated if the five story structure is built. Our drive through estimate is that this will leave thirty-seven which most every day are now all occupied. Unless it is made a condition of residency not to have a motor vehicle, many of these low income residents will come with a car. From my own knowledge and conversation with others, it is a mistaken assumption to believe just because you are low income you do not have a car. We are just as certain there will not be fifty-six cars as we are there will not be zero. But even one permanent vehicle is too much for the spaces now available. We equally believe it is shabby planning to rely on the generosity of others, the Tigard Christian Church, to provide everyday parking which should be provided on site. And it can be a long, hard walk up and down the slope to the parking lot at the church for many seniors. Parking, which is now just a problem, will become a major problem if this housing is built. THE STRUCTURE, FANNO CREEK, AND THE WETLANDS. The five story building will stand out like an extended middle finger, a cancer in a quiet residential neighborhood which in this era of political correctness we are supposed to accept, but which some of us do not accept, particularly when it is our neighborhood. Would you want this structure in your neighborhood? This a totally inappropriate structure for this location. It also appears from the drawings that certain well used paths behind the senior center and down from the parking lot to the park will be either changed or eliminated. And we noted this date that several tall, beautiful trees on the edge of Fanno Creek Park have apparently been marked for destruction. This infringement into the park seems in direct contradiction to stated city policy to create and maintain a natural area. And because of the building's location, has there been an environmental study as to its effect on the wetlands? If so, I would like a copy of the environmental study. FLOODING. Due to the allotted time I have not had an opportunity to check floodplain maps and document flooding on Fanno Creek. But we, our children and persons with whom we have spoken have witnessed flooding at the location of the proposed building site three times, if not more, during the past forty-two yea rs. CREATING A GHETTO. Back in the late 1970's, when the site where the senior center now stands was being proposed for low cost or subsidized housing, I recall some proponent remarking the site was out of sight and rather isolated and an excellent location to house the poor. And this comes to mind when I think of this location today. i, John, am eighty-three. And if I should ever go into any type of senior living I would want green lawns, flowers, people running or walking by my window, children playing, traffic in the street and public transit half a block away. The senior center is perfectly located for daytime activities. But to be there twenty-fours hours a day? There is little green lawn, but lots of asphalt. And little live activity by your window. The location is one of isolation. If the city wants to create affordable senior housing, they should find a more friendly location. EMERGEMCY SERVICES. It is hard to determine from the drawing if emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks, would have access to the housing structure. Has the fire marshal, or perhaps the Tualatin Fire and Rescue, approved emergency access to all sides of the structure in the event of fire? Our reasons for opposition are simply stated and need not be summarized. I am always interested in who is profiting financially in these situations and I may be contacting you at a later time for additional information. Thank you for your kind consideration. John Otting Lois Otting Petition to Stop Proposed Development Project: Proposed Low-Income Senior Housing Project behind Tigard Senior Center 1. This huge project would share the same parking lot as the Senior Center causing a parking nightmare. Parking for the Senior Center alone currently overflows into the adjacent Church parking lot on a daily basis. It appears the current site would not be capable of providing adequate parking for both the Senior Center and the Apartment Complex and the church next door has publicly expressed concerns about allowing any further parking on their site by the city beyond the current use by the Library Staff and City Operations Staff. Those attending lunches and/or events at the Senior Center would find it hard to park. Other nearby Senior Low-income Apartment Complexes have their own parking lots which are routinely full. 2. Access for emergency vehicles, such as medical and fire, would be limited and would present an extreme danger to the residents. By law, two egresses are required for safety reasons. The current plans would only allow one. 3. The location of the proposed building/buildings is in a location which has flooded more than once in recent years and which encroaches on a natural wetlands area, requiring the removal of a large number of trees in the Fanno Creek Wetlands area. 4. The site is remote,with no nearby grocery stores,pharmacies or restaurants. 5. Public transportation is limited. The closest bus line requires a transfer to another bus to access shopping areas. This would cause a disadvantage to those seniors who might not be able to drive.

Meeting Type: Town Center Development Agency Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Town Center Development Agency Board/ Town Center Advisory Commission Joint Meeting STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Meet with the Town Center Advisory Commission to discuss its 2019 Annual Report and draft 2020 Goals. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Town Center Advisory Commission (ICAC) makes recommendations to the Board of the Town Center Development Agency (ICDA) on urban renewal policy, budget and implementation measures. Since updating its bylaws in September 2017, the TCAC makes recommendations on urban renewal policy, budget and implementation measures for the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal area as well as the City Center (Downtown) urban renewal area. Two items will inform the joint meeting discussion - the TCAC's 2019 Annual Report, and the 2020 Draft Goals. The 2019 Annual Report was previously provided in the December 5, 2019 Council Newsletter. The 2019 TCAC Goals were: 1. Downtown: Identify new revitalization projects & drive existing projects to completion in the Downtown Urban Renewal District. 2. Tigard Triangle: Participate in the development of the Tigard Triangle Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Project. 3. SW Corridor: Consider, investigate and recommend specific planning components associated with the adopted SW Corridor alignment and station locations in both downtown and the Triangle. 4. Affordable Housing: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing downtown and in the Triangle. 5. Equitable Business Development: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage equitable business development downtown and in the Triangle. The TCAC's specific recommendations for TCDA are also included in the 2019 Annual Report; these are: Continue to work with Metro and TriMet to ensure light rail stations are walkable and activate the area around them. •Ensure that the Hall Street station design optimally connects with the Downtown Main Street area •Provide safe and effective pedestrian access across Hall Blvd •Provide bike and pedestrian access on the Highway 217 crossing Implement A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy Plan •Look for opportunities to partner with developers and other agencies to increase the supply of affordable housing units. •Land in the Tigard Triangle is going to become increasingly expensive and difficult to acquire, especially if the Southwest Corridor project is funded. Acquire land prioritized in the implementation plan. •Develop opportunities for equitable business development in the Triangle through urban renewal funding and other funding sources such as grants. The TCAC developed draft goals for 2020 at its January 8th meeting. The TCAC will present and review these draft goals with the TCDA Board before finalizing them at their February 12th meeting. OTHER ALTERNATIVES N/A COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES,APPROVED MASTER PLANS Tigard City Council Goals 2019-2021 Goal 2: Invest and connect key areas of the city to promote economic growth and community vitality Strategy 2.2: Continue to make Downtown Tigard a place people want to be by making substantial progress on projects that attract new residential and business investment. Tigard Strategic Plan Goal 3: Engage the community through dynamic communication. DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION February 5, 2019:Joint meeting with TCAC Attachments 2019 TCAC Annual Report 2019 Annual Report of the Town Center Advisory Commission to the Board of the Town Center Development Agency December 1,2019 The Town Center Advisory Commission (TCAC) adopted annual goals and objectives for calendar year 2019. The annual agenda for the TCAC was largely devoted to developing and implementing the goals. This report is organized around the adopted 2019 TCAC Goals and Objectives. Aspirational Goal: Facilitate opportunities for development that promotes walkability, equity, and connectivity across both urban renewal districts. Outcomes Walkability within and connectivity between the two urban renewal districts continues to be a key issue for the commission. In June,we received a briefing on the Red Rock Creek Trail design which includes a proposed trail that would cross Highway217 on the SW Corridor overpass. The TCAC sent a letter to Mayor Snider in his role as chair of the TCDA Board and as a member of the SW Corridor Steering Committee,strongly supporting the inclusion of bike and ped facilities in the overpass design (See attached letter). The TCAC participated in the development of"A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy". Several commissioners were on the New Tigard Triangle sub-committee and we held a joint working session with the sub-committee in our August meeting. A final draft of the plan was presented in our October meeting and we voted to recommend acceptance of the New Tigard Triangle Strategy by the TCDA along with the guidance that land acquisition for parks and roads be prioritized (See attached recommendation). The TCAC supported several projects that promote walkability,equity,and connectivity across Downtown and the Tigard Triangle: • Senior Center Affordable Senior Housing • A New Tigard Triangle Implementation Strategy • 72nd and Dartmouth development assistance • Tigard Street Heritage Trail Goal 1. Downtown: Identify new revitalization projects &drive existing projects to completion in the Downtown Urban Renewal District. Outcomes Progress has been made on several existing projects: • Construction has begun on Tigard Street Heritage Trail/Rotary Plaza. The project includes a public restroom,which the TCAC has strongly advocated for. • The Main Street at Fanno project continues to move forward. The TCDA approved the project plan at its September 3 meeting,which was one of the milestones in the development agreement. • Members of the TCAC participated in the selection of Northwest Housing Alternatives to be the developer of the Senior Center affordable senior housing project and are participating in the stakeholder meetings that will help select the architect and provide ongoing input into the design of the project. • Another area of focus for the TCAC this year has been the Universal Plaza. Members of the TCAC volunteered to assist in a"public life"survey run by Gehl Studios.We had briefings on the survey results in our August and September meetings. The Commission is concerned about activation and maintenance of the plaza. A representative of the TCAC will help evaluate proposals from consultants for the activation, design and engineering of Universal Plaza. The joint Urban Renewal Improvement Programs Joint Committee made two new matching grant awards: 1) Stirato Bakery&Bistro for interior buildout and 2) Fraternal Order of Eagles for paint and signage. We also saw the successful completion of the Senet Taphouse and Versus Board Games project. These projects continue to revitalize the Downtown district and draw more people into the city center. Goal 2.Tigard Triangle: Participate in the development of the Tigard Triangle Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Project. Outcomes The key initiative for the TCAC in 2019 was the development of The Tigard Triangle Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy (renamed A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development). The goal of the plan is to provide direction for strategic public investments that support and catalyze equitable development in the Triangle that is consistent with the community's vision, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the area's economic transformation. There were a significant number of public outreach meetings as well as stakeholder interviews. And a subcommittee of four commissioners and four community members was formed to develop the criteria used to rank projects and review the draft prioritized list. The draft implementation plan was reviewed by TCAC and TCAC Subcommittee at a joint meeting in August. The subcommittee strongly recommended continued public outreach as projects are being considered. A final draft of the plan was presented in our October meeting and we voted to recommend acceptance of the New Tigard Triangle Strategy by the TCDA along with the guidance that land acquisition for parks and roads be prioritized (See attached recommendation). Goal 3.SW Corridor: Consider, investigate and recommend specific planning components associated with the adopted SW Corridor alignment and station locations in both downtown and the Triangle. Outcomes The TCAC received a briefing from city staff on the Hall Blvd. station design in our May meeting. While the station will be outside the Downtown Urban Renewal District,we are concerned about how the city can link the station with downtown. This includes the design of the pedestrian crossing and transit-oriented development along Commercial Street. In October,a TriMet representative presented an update on the SW Corridor project including a significant budget shortfall and possible ways to close the funding gap. Community Development Director Kenny Asher outlined Mayor Snider's concerns over the narrowing of Barbur Blvd. and the elimination of the section to Bridgeport as possible ways to eliminate the shortfall. The commission continues to support the LPA that preserves naturally occurring affordable housing and does not necessitate on-grade crossing of Hall Blvd. Goal 4.Affordable Housing: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing downtown and in the Triangle. Outcomes The TCAC was directly involved with several affordable housing initiatives: • The commission participated in the selection of the developer for the Senior Center affordable senior housing project and has two members on the stakeholder committee. The stakeholder committee has provided input on the selection of an architect and will provide design and implementation input throughout the project. • CPAH's Red Rock Creek Commons project broke ground in October. The TCDA's provision of developer assistance, pursuant to the TCAC's recommendation, early in the lifecycle of this project was instrumental in moving the project forward. • The New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Project ranks affordable housing as a priority in the near term (next 5 years). Funding will be requested in future TCDA budgets to provide development assistance for affordable housing. Goal 5.Equitable Business Development: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect,support and encourage equitable business development downtown and in the Triangle. Outcomes In March,the TCAC received a presentation from the Metro project manager for the Southwest Equitable Development Strategy(SWEDS).He gave a briefing on SWEDS and on potential programs to support equitable business development. In exchange for developer assistance,the developer of the 72nd and Dartmouth project was open to an agreement to provide below market rent for a portion of the building's retail space. The hope was that this could be used to support equitable business development, Staff developed an outline for such an agreement,but also reported it would be challenging to implement Due to the challenges of administering such a program,we reduced our recommendation from$1.6 M to$1.0M in developer assistance. While there was a consensus on the decision,the commission recognizes that we may have missed an opportunity to promote equitable development. Consequently,the commission hopes to enhance our knowledge base concerning means and methods of achieving equity. Business and development assistance ranked as a near term priority in the New Tigard Triangle report. Business and development assistance program development with a focus on equity will be a part of Phase 2 of the project. The Town Center Advisory Commission is already looking forward to 2020 and the kickoff of our key initiative:the implementation of A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy Plan. On behalf of the Town Center Advisory Commission, Kate Rogers Chair Recommendations for Town Center Development Agency Consideration Background: The Town Center Advisory Commission(TCAC)is charged with advising the Town Center Development Agency(TCDA) on policy and projects related to the City Center Urban Renewal Plan and the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan.The commission is charged with producing an annual report and recommendations for the TCDA's consideration. 2019 Recommendations • Continue to work with Metro and TriMet to ensure light rail stations are walkable and activate the area around them o Ensure that the Hall Street station design and location promote connectivity with the Downtown Main Street area o Provide safe and effective pedestrian access across Hall Blvd. o Provide bike and pedestrian access on the Highway 217 crossing • Implement A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy Plan: o Look for opportunities to partner with developers and other agencies to increase the supply of affordable housing units o Land in the Tigard Triangle is going to become increasingly expensive and difficult to acquire, especially if the Southwest Corridor project is funded.

KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Tigard City Council's current goals include a strategy (3.2) to promote the development of affordable housing in Tigard. The strategy is being implemented in part with the Tigard Senior Center Affordable Senior Housing project that would provide affordable senior housing adjacent to the Tigard Senior Center. The Board of the TCDA authorized the signing of an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with non-profit affordable housing developers Northwest Housing Alternatives (NHA) on October 8, 2019. Since then, there has been significant progress. The Tigard Senior Housing Advisory Committee (made up of stakeholders from the Tigard Senior Center, Town Center Advisory Committee, neighborhood and Councilor Tom Anderson) has met five times. The meetings covered the following topics: •October 14 - An overview of the project and NHA's and the City's goals •October 28 - Interviews and recommendations for architect firm (selected SERA Architects) •November 18 - Design charette •December 16 - Interviews and recommendation of general contractor advisors (selected Walsh Construction) •January 13 - Reviewed latest site plan concept The Advisory Committee will tour an NHA-operated affordable senior housing development in Wilsonville on February 6. SERA Architects and Northwest Housing Alternatives have worked through several site plan and building configuration options. The current site plan calls for a 4-story building with between 50 and 60 affordable senior units (final count to be determined) and 87 parking spaces. Existing Senior Center conditions have 48 parking spaces, so it appears that the parking demand for the senior center and residents can be accommodated (along with NHA's strategy to accommodate the portion of residents without their own car- daily vanpools for residents to shopping and leisure activities, etc.) NHA will present the most current site plan at the February 4 Board meeting. The City's attorneys are working up a draft Development Agreement and lease. After further negotiation, the documents will be brought to the TCDA Board for their consideration. OTHER ALTERNATIVES No alternatives for consideration at this time.

L City of Tigard, Senior Center Housing SUPPLEMENTAL PACKET FOR E Northwest (DAT OF MEETING) Housing Alternatives Tigard Senior affordable Housing Project Guiding Principles Northwest Housing Alternatives in partnership with the Tigard Senior Housing Advisory Group developed a set of guiding principles for the Tigard Senior Affordable Housing project. These guiding principles are touchstone parameters forthe Architect and General Contractorto follow to ensure that community input is a part of this project. This includes a focus on emphasizing care forthe environment,facilitating services for seniors and an interest to highlight transportation. The following is a list of the Project Guiding Principles: 1. Senior Living in Tigard For seniors,the project should facilitate the ability to live safely and with good health,with access through various modes of transportation to what the Tigard community has to offer. 2< Environmental Integrity and Stewardship Design and construction should facilitate the physical integration with the existing the neighborhood and natural amenities; and should include measures to protect Fanno Creek and the surrounding natural area. 3. Integration Design and programming should facilitate the social and programmatic integration with the existing Meals on Wheels programming and resident services. 4. Engagement and Transparency With the City and the community, the development process should facilitate engagement with stakeholders and offer transparency through the decision-making process. Update —Tigard Senior Affordable Housing Background During the last decade, Washington County has undergone significant changes in poverty and vacancy rates coupled with significant population growth. There has been dramatic increases in the number of residents living in poverty in cities like Tigard. In 2014, Washington County conducted a housing needs assessment as part of the 2015-2020 Washington County Consolidated Plan. The study identified the need for 14,000-23,000 additional housing units affordable to renters with incomes at or below 50% area median income. Sadly, the housing crisis has been particularly daunting for our seniors because of the short supply of housing that has been developed for the elderly. The City of Tigard has recently taken several steps to address its disappearing affordable housing, which includes the redevelopment of the Tigard Senior Center site. The City of Tigard invited responses to a Request for Qualifications and interviewed three community- based organizations who submitted required material. Northwest Housing Alternatives (NHA) was selected by the interview committee and then by the Tigard City Council to develop an affordable housing property for seniors adjacent to the existing Tigard Senior Center. Based on a feasibility study commissioned by the City prior to selecting NHA,the project concept is a four-story,wood framed building with 50 to 60 one-bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom managers unit,with ample parking. One of the first steps taken by NHA in July 2019 was to convene a Project Advisory Group consisting of community stakeholders including immediate neighbors, members of the Senior Center Advisory Council and staff from Meals on Wheels, members of the Tigard Town Center Advisory Commission, and staff from the City. The committee's purpose is to engage stakeholders, document concerns and set goals for the project through an articulation of"guiding principles." To date the committee has met six times and achieved the following milestones: • Established a set of guiding principles for the project that will be used by NHA,the architect and the builder throughout the development process. See ATTACHED • Selected a project Architect(SERA) and a project builder/contractor(Walsh Construction). • In partnership with SERA and NHA,reviewed and provided input to initial site plan concepts. Current Activity Site investigation is currently underway to further test project feasibility. This includes a process of incorporating the project Guiding Principles with analysis of required zoning, parking,fire and life safety, and environmental protection of the Fanno Creek natural area. Additionally, the team is anticipating responding to a Request for Proposals from the Housing Authority of Washington County to secure funding from the regional Metro Housing Bond, an essential component of the financing for the project. At the most recent Advisory Group meeting held January 201h,SERA Architects reviewed a conception site plan that addresses much of the concern regarding parking and massing. SERA's focus will now turn toward ensuring environmental protection of the natural area. The Group will convene again after the Housing Authority has issued its RFP for Metro Bond funds so the committee can review SERA's work and understand the funding critiera.

Business Meeting One Meeting Date: 02/04/2020 Length (in minutes): 5 Minutes Agenda Title: Consider Resolution of Support for Artwork for Tigard's Outdoor Museum Prepared For: Schuyler Warren, Community Development Submitted By: Schuyler Warren, Community Development Item Type: Motion Requested Meeting Type: Council Resolution Business Meeting - Main Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Shall the City adopt a Resolution of support to apply to Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for approval of artwork to be placed on the Highway 99W support structure as part of Tigard's Outdoor Museum? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approval of the resolution. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The City's grant from the National Endowment for the Arts Our Town program provides funding for three major artworks in Tigard's Outdoor Museum along the Tigard Heritage Trail. A competitive selection process resulted in two murals proposed for the support structure of the Highway 99W overpass along the trail. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) maintains authority over the right-of-way in this location and is responsible for the maintenance of the overpass. An art directive issued in October 2013 specifies terms under which local jurisdictions may request placement of artwork within the ODOT right-of-way. Staff have reviewed the approval criteria and determined that the proposal meets the standards set by ODOT. ODOT requires that the local governing body adopt a resolution of support as part of the applciation process, and that the resolution provide certain details related to jurisdictional authority, artwork lifespan, and proposed maintenance. This resolution meets the requirements set by ODOT for application to add the artwork. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council could opt not to adopt the resolution. This option would require that staff find an alternative location for a muralist or find an alternative artist prior to the close of the grant in August 2020, or return a portion of the grant.

Mayor-City of Tigard ATTEST: Cite Recorder-City of Tigard RESOLUTION NO.20- Page 2 Exhibit A Oregon Department of Transportation Wgtmay Division Highway Division DIRECTIVE NUMBER SUPERSEDES HVVY 01 New EFFECTIVE DATE PAGE NUMBER 10-1-2013 1 of 6 REFERENCE RE SUBJECT Placement of Artwork on State Highway Right of Way PURPOSE; To describe the process to allow artwork to be placed on state highway right of way either as part of ODOT's project development process or through the District Manager. GENERAL: There has been an increasing interest by local communities to incorporate artwork within the state highway system. The overall design of the state highway system should blend with the natural and cultural environment keeping in mind the intended traffic volume and preservation of valuable adjacent scenic lands and natural and historic resources. ODOT recognizes the effects of the state highway system on local communities and how artwork can enhance and reflect the historic and cultural character of the community. This Directive provides a process for ODOT to allow for the enhancement of the state highway system by including local community artwork on state highway right of way and will apply to artwork requested or approved after the effective date of the Directive. Safety is of primary concern for ODOT; therefore any Artwork allowed to be placed on state highway right of way must be found by ODOT to not diminish the safety of motorists or the state highway system. It should be noted that this Directive is intended to provide a means to guide ODOT decision makers in determining the appropriateness of allowing artwork to be placed on state highway right of way. It is not to imply ODOT's review or approval of the artwork itself. The content of the artwork is determined by the Local Government as described In this Directive. 4 After ODOT's review and approval of the proposed placement of artwork, ODOT will initiate an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the requesting Local Government. Should the Local Government desire to change the design, content or format of the Artwork during the term of the IGA, a new proposal must be submitted following the process outlined in this Directive. r Artwork on the state highway differs from the City/County Entrance Program and the Highway Beautification Program described in Oregon Administrative Rule Chapter 734, Division 57. DEFINITIONS: "Artwork"—Any drawing, painting, sculpture, statue, or other item of a creative or artistic nature intended or used to attract the interest or attention of motorists but does not include roadside memorials; political, advertising, or other unpermitted signs. For the purposes of this Highway Division Directive HWY 01 Page 2 of 6 Directive, "Artwork" also does not include standard architectural elements, whether structural or not, such as light poles, overpass screening, sound walls, or bridge components designed into the highway feature by ODOT during the project development process and are owned and maintained by ODOT. "Local Government" —The City or County with jurisdiction in the area where the Artwork is proposed. When a state highway is on recognized tribal land, the Tribal Government with jurisdiction in the area will be considered the "Local Government"for purposes of this Directive. MINIMUM CRITERIA: A Local Government's proposal for the placement of Artwork on state highway right of way must address the following criteria. Each proposal will be evaluated by ODOT on a case-by- case basis as described in this Directive. Safete Artwork must not interfere with the operation, maintenance or use of the highway. It must not block sight distance of an intersection, road approach, or traffic control device or cause a distraction for motorists, therefore, the proposed Artwork must: 1. Be located outside the highway clear zone as described in the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide; 2. Be placed as far from the travel way or edge of the pavement as practical; 3. Not be attached to or imitate a traffic control device; 4. Not have moving elements or simulate movement; 5. Not have bold or vibrant colors, reflective or glaring materials or surface finishes, or have illumination or other elements that would cause the proposed Artwork to be a distraction to motorists. Any illumination must be shielded to prevent light from being directed at the highway and of such low intensity or brilliance as to not cause glare or to impair the vision of motorists on the highway. Flashing or blinking lights, are not allowed; and i 6. Be of a size and scale so to not demand the attention of motorists to the point the driver is distracted by the Artwork. E The safety of the highway system and motorists is of utmost concern for ODOT. The following will be considered by ODOT in determining if the proposals to place Artwork on highway right of way meet this Directive. The Artwork: 1. Does not attract pedestrians to an area not designed or intended for pedestrian traffic j or placed at a location that would cause motorists to stop or to enter or exit the highway in areas not designed for such use; 2. Is not placed on trees, rocks or other natural features (ground mounted, free standing artwork may be allowed); 3. Is not attached to any bridge structure, sound wall or other highway feature other than artwork that may be incorporated as part of the project development process. A mural painted on a bridge structure, sound wall or other highway feature may be allowed when located on a low speed highway and is part of an overall graffiti prevention strategy; Highway Division Directive HWY 01 Page 3 of 6 4. Does not interfere with the horizontal or vertical clearance of the roadway so as not to impede freight mobility or movement of motor vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians; 5. Is not placed within 500 feet of traffic control devices or other signs, gores, decision points, or other Artwork; and 6. Does not adversely affect highway structures, drainage patterns or storm water runoff quality, landscaping, natural vegetation or other plantings. Content and Format The content or format of the Artwork is to be determined by the Local Government through a public review process. The Artwork must depict the historic or cultural characteristic of the community and blend with the surrounding area. The Artwork shall not contain text, interpretation of the Artwork, information on the artist, or advertising or other form of a commercial message (business, product, or brand name, logo, phone number, web page, etc.). It shall not resemble or imitate a traffic control device, represent or pay tribute to a specific individual, or contain elements that move, shimmer, shake or contain other methods to attract the attention of motorists, Desiqn The design of all Artwork must be coordinated with the aesthetic design of the highway system and all its features taking into consideration the roadway design, the clear zone, motorists, and the environment. The Artwork shall not be suspended over the highway. Artwork must be designed using long lasting materials and construction techniques which will require minimal care and resist vandalism and must be no larger than a size and scale that is compatible with the surrounding area and landscape. Maintenance Maintenance of the proposed Artwork and the surrounding area will be the responsibility of the requesting Local Government as set out in the IGA. The Artwork must be kept clean and in good repair. Artwork damaged by vehicular crashes, vandalism including graffiti, acts of nature, or regular wear or aging must be repaired or removed by the Local Government in a timely manner. t Offensive graffiti must be removed promptly. All maintenance must be conducted in a manner to minimize interference with highway traffic. No direct access (ingress or egress) to the Artwork is allowed from the main travel way of an access controlled highway, If the Artwork is not maintained, repaired, or removed as required, the Artwork may be removed by ODOT at the Local Government's expense without commitment by ODOT for 1 restoration, replacement, or compensation to the Local Government. Any Artwork removed by i ODOT will be stored for 30 days for recovery by the Local Government. 1 Compliance with State and Federal Regulations The proposed Artwork must comply with all state and federal regulations including regulations for Outdoor Advertising, and the marking and signing of state highways. j i i i Highway Division Directive HWY 01 Page 4 of 6 Location Artwork will be considered on primary and secondary state highways as part of the project development process or by the District Manager after first considering if it is more appropriate to transfer the roadway, sidewalk or the property to the Local Government. Artwork will not be allowed on the Interstate highway system (along the mainline or the entrance and exit ramps)or in the median of any expressway, freeway or divided highway. Artwork located on property outside the state highway right of way but visible from the highway must comply with Outdoor Advertising Sign regulations. Artwork must be located within the territorial or zoning jurisdiction of the requesting Local Government, Financial Responsibilities All costs, including labor, materials, supplies, and traffic control for the design, engineering, testing, construction, installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the artwork will be the responsibility of the requesting Local Government. When illumination is included as part of the artwork, the Local Government will be responsible for the cost of the electricity and any necessary utility lines and permits. ODOT will assume the administrative costs associated with reviewing the proposal for Artwork and for executing the IGA with the requesting Local Government if the proposal is approved. APPLICATION PROCESS: A proposal for Artwork on state highway right of way must be submitted in writing by the Local i Government that has jurisdiction in the area where the Artwork is proposed to be located. When there is an ongoing project development process, the proposal request will be submitted i to the Project Leader. Other proposals are to be submitted to the local District Manager. t The Local Government must ensure that the proposal is developed through a public process, i The method of gathering local support will be determined by the Local Government. The Artwork proposal must: • include a full description or drawing of the proposed Artwork including the proposed 3 materials and how it expresses the community's historic or cultural character; 3 • include the proposed location (highway and milepoint)for the Artwork; } • show how the proposal meets the criteria outlined in this Directive; • include the name, address, and telephone number of the Local Government contact person responsible for the proposal; i • include an adopted resolution that describes the following: E a the Local Government's jurisdiction in the area of the project site; o the Local Government's approval of the Artwork content; o the Artwork's proposed life span; i 0 Highway Division Directive HWY 01 Page 5 of 6 o the Local Government's commitment to ensure maintenance of the Artwork including timely graffiti removal/repair and removal of the Artwork at the end of its life span; and o a schedule for commencing and completing the proposed Artwork installation. • include design plans stamped by a licensed professional engineer registered in the State of Oregon demonstrating structural stability, the ability to withstand the necessary wind loads, the means or method of installation, and how the proposed Artwork meets the Safety criteria outlined above. ODOT REVIEW: The proposed site for installation of Artwork by a Local Government must be reviewed and approved by ODOT prior to development of an IGA. ODOT will apply the criteria in this Directive when reviewing proposals for placement of Artwork on state highway right of way. Considerations will include the location, potential for motorist distraction, impact to highway j maintenance or operations, impact to motorist safety, and access for Artwork maintenance. Additional site specific criteria and conditions may be applied to the Artwork proposal as determined by the ODOT Project Leader or District Manager. The approval for placement of Artwork will be granted at ODOT's sole discretion. i t When Artwork is proposed as part of the project development process, the Project Leader will coordinate the review with the Region Technical Center, the local District Manager, and the i Federal Highway Administration; ensure the conditions of this Directive are met; and incorporate the Artwork into the highway project, if approved. If the proposal is approved, the Project Leader will be responsible to initiate an IGA to document the Local Government's responsibility for the Artwork. If the proposal is denied, the Project Leader will notify the Local Government in writing. 1 i When the Artwork is proposed outside of the project development process, the District Manager will coordinate the review with the Region Technical Center and the Federal Highway s Administration and ensure the criteria of this Directive are met.

Why does Tigard need additional police officers? Over the past 25 years, the region's residential, commercial, and commuter populations have increased significantly and Tigard's population has grown by nearly 19,000 people. Police calls for service have also grown in line with population growth. However, minimum staffing levels for patrol are the same today as they were in 1995. The number of patrol officers on staff are not enough to keep up with demands for service. Almost half the time, police patrol staffing is 3 officers to respond to calls in the City's 5 patrol districts. What did the citywide performance audit say about the City's police department? In 2019, an independent auditor conducted a performance audit of City operations. That report recommended the City hire an additional 8 patrol officers and 1 school resource officer to address workload demands and comply with best practices in policing.
