On February 13 she will be attending the CDBG Policy Advisory Board meeting and will receive the grant applications to review. Council President Goodhouse said there has been more infrastructure funding talk on the federal level and he will distribute some information on that. He attended the State of the Region and heard that Metro may be placing a homeless services measure on the May ballot, which could have an effect on the city measure. Councilor Lueb attended the PRAB meeting and was asked about honoring Parks Manager Martin on his retirement. City Manager Wine said she will check on the plans with Public Works Director Rager. Councilor Anderson attended the Planning Commission meeting and the topic was SW Corridor. Dave Unsworth from TriMet attended and gave a presentation.The Regional Water Providers Consortium has completed their budget for the next year and dues rose by 3 percent. Water conservation will be advertised on Channel 6 television this year. Mayor Snider said he met with TriMet's General Manager and several key leaders and staff for the SW Corridor project, to discuss Tigard's displeasure with their station plans. He said the station plans are unacceptable and inconsistent with best practices for transit-oriented development. He felt that they listened and acted like they would recommit to the idea that urban planning and station designs should be the city's responsibility. The Washington County Coordinating Committee received the SW Corridor presentation. The other major presentation was on 1-5 and I-205 tolling,with a focus on I-205 first. Mayor Snider asked City Manager Wine to ask the Recreation staff to study whether there is a role in Tigard for esports, as it is a worldwide phenomenon with younger people. Arlington,Texas has an esports arena that recently became the home for the World Esport Awards which were moved from London to this facility. Councilor Anderson commented TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - February 11, 2020 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 of 8 that esports areas are a regular stop on college tours now. Mayor Snider said this is something to evaluate and figure out what part of it we may want to be in at this time, especially if the City wants to connect with young people. Councilor Anderson said Tigard Little League got word that Tigard is no longer in the running for the Softball World Series. City Manager Wine noted for Council that she and City Attorney Rihala will do more research but the Oregon Government Ethics Commission advice from a few years ago still stands. City funds should not be used to pay for Council attendance at community events. Her recommendation is that if Council wants to take part in events such as the Chamber of Commerce Bowl-a-Rama they need to pay for it themselves. Council agreed to form a team, pay for themselves and will let the Chamber of Commerce know. Councilor Newton suggested doing a door-to-door event on the March 31 Fifth Tuesday or having an event at Summerfield that includes serving pie. City Manager Wine said staff will coordinate with Summerfield and reserve a date. The Study Session was adjourned at 7:06 p.m. 2. BUSINESS MEETING A.

Chief McAlpine said there is an adjustment period and at Hall Boulevard there is a lot going on with all the approaches so a person may think they got photographed when they see a flash but it could have been for a car in another lane at Hall.

TOWN CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY- CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND DISPOSITION AGREEMENT WITH AVA TIGARD DEVELOPMENT,LLC AUTHORIZING A 90-DAY EXTENSION Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly introduced this item. He said the TCDA Board is being asked to consider acting on a 90-day extension of the Development and Disposition Agreement with AVA Tigard Development,LLC, extending it to May 12.This extra time is needed for redesign of the building. They have received approval for their final land use application. They have submitted their building permit applications. Milestones yet to be addressed are receiving BOLI letter and final financing. Amy Saberiyan of AVA described challenges with the project site and how these obstacles were met.They were advised by their development consultant and general contractor that their original design was not insurable nor easily financeable because the parking structure was below the floodplain. She said they worked with a new architect to change the design. The property was a brownfield that needed to cleaned and monitored. It is near a state highway so no excavation or construction can be done on the west side of the property.They are also in the 100-year floodplain. The property is adjacent to Fanno Creek and below the sidewalk. There are easements and setbacks further restricting building. They have revised their design from a large condo residential units in a 5-story building to smaller one-bedroom units in a 4-story building. She said she is proud to say they have a great design. She mentioned their team,Civil Engineer Greg Kurahashi,Architect Ralph Tahran of Tahran Architecture and Planning,and General Contractor Roy Kim. She said they are awaiting permit approval from the City and the determination letter from BOLI so they can meet with their General Contractor and get an actual estimate in order to obtain financing. Architect Ralph Tahran said they thought it was a big project to try and redesign. They produced over 175 drawings to provide a substantial permit application to the City. There are details to work through,which is normal with any project. He discussed the new design,which brought the parking and building out of the floodplain and places it at sidewalk level. The original plan had it five-feet above the sidewalk and the new design will seem more friendly at street level.The height of the project has dropped 6-8 feet from the original design. Architect Tahran said it is a pleasant scheme with 4 stories rather than the original 5, and one- bedroom apartments instead of the large condominiums originally planned. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —February 11, 2020 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 4 of 8 Mr. Tahran said there will be 8,000 square feet of retail on the first floor. Office suites will fill the second floor for roughly 8,000 square feet and then there will be two levels of apartments, 22 total,with 15 parking spaces on site. He described other mixed-use projects he has been involved in and said AVA's coffee shop,bean roasting and bakery will make a nice combination. He said the apartments will lease quickly and this will be a wonderful project for a downtown to have, a lively building with all these activities. The public plaza feature will have educational plaques about wetlands and migratory birds,like those at Clean Water Services Jackson Bottom Wildlife Refuge in Hillsboro. He expressed appreciation for Tigard's staff and their prompt responses to questions Director Goodhouse asked about the size and scope of the outdoor plaza. Ms. Saberiyan said the scope has not changed. There will still be open outdoor seating with a water feature on the Fanno Creek Side. He complimented them for the speed in putting this re-design together and said it is a much anticipated downtown project. Director Newton noted that the date on the agreement in the Recital should be 2018 instead of 2028.

Mayor Snider announced that anyone may offer testimony. C. Court Supervisor Annis and Commander McDonald gave the staff report. Commander McDonald said Community Service Officers (CSOs) conduct the majority of the City's parking enforcement and can only issue citations for violations of Tigard Municipal Code and State statute. The TMC currently does not have a provision allowing the issue of citations for vehicles illegally parked in alternative fuel vehicle refueling spaces. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES- February 11, 2020 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of 8 State statute already has a provision for this and adding it to the T`MC will allow the CSOs to issue citations. Court Supervisor Annis said she is recommending an amendment to TMC 10.28. The language in the State statute demonstrates the details and consequences of citations issued by a police officer.The amendment would add language to the existing TMC clearly defining the defendant's options when cited under code by a Community Service Officer and it would also clarify the court's default judgement direction for non-appearance. Staff recommends approval of these amendments to TMC Chapter 10.28. D. Public Testimony—No one signed up to speak. E. Response to testimony by staff. F. Mayor Snider closed the public hearing. G.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT—City Manager Wine said a major finding noted in the performance audit was the lack of integration and future need for our systems and technology.

This could give the city a coordinated tech replacement system that works together.A contract will come before Council at some point.

It contains content that has been approved by the Secretary of State, FAQs, and Chief McAlpine's interview with Mayor Snider.
