the S curve.The city has not provided residents with the data used to make this decision and I would ask that if No
Parking needs to be initiated for sight line purposes,that the city consider doing it on only 1 side of the street initially.
My main concern is that removing street parking will increase the speed of vehicles who already travel over the speed
limit on our steep hill. I don't know which is a more pressing issue-sight lines or speed. In my opinion, speed is much
more of a safety issue than the sight lines.
I am also concerned that people will use our side street (private drive)to park which will increase wear and tear on the
private drive (which the 4 houses will have to share repair costs for) and block residents in or lead to potential fender
benders (which has happened repeatedly on our private drive) because the parking is so tight/limited.Thank you for
your consideration.

FeedBackText= I would characterize the meeting with the city as frustrating. I didn't feel like the city is actually looking
for a solution for both the city and the residents, and essentially had a predetermined decision. I would like to ask the
mayor to personally arrange and attend a neighborhood discussion [following appropriate COVID-19 guidelines] and
explain how the city is preparing to engage in a joint solving problem process; dividing residents into individual 15
minute increments and a website is not a two-way process that's designed to come to a solution for both the residents
and the city.
I propose we try an experiment for the next six months to put up warning signs for vehicles to slow down and permit
parking on one side of the street only to see if that addresses the issue in advance of the city spending money to put
speed bumps in.
Most importantly, many residents on Ascension feel that the city has not engaged in a constructive dialog with us, and
we would like the opportunity as a neighborhood to meet and work together on a solution that meets the needs of the
residents and the city.

Re: Placement of no-parking zone on SW Ascension Drive
I am writing in follow-up to my public comments on May 26th opposing the City of Tigard's decision to implement
a no-parking zone on both sides of the S-curve section of SW Ascension Drive. My submission of May 26th is
included below as reference.
After having the opportunity to meet with City staff on June 3rd to discuss the basis for the City's decision, I am
again requesting Tigard City Council act on behalf of citizens living in the impacted area and discontinue the
effort to implement the no-parking zone. City personnel and resources should instead be redirected to work
with citizens on implementing speed mitigation projects that will actually address the real problem in the
neighborhood.
My original request to cease implementation of the no-parking zone was only reinforced by what we learned in
a virtual meeting with City staff on June 3rd:
1. Of the three (3) inquiries to the City complaining of parking on the S-curve, all have come from beyond
the impacted community — two from the upper section of Ascension Drive, and one from two
subdivisions over on Hillshire Drive(?!). While this is an easy request for these households—none resides
in the impacted area, so they benefit from a no-parking zone by being able to speed through our
neighborhood without bearing any of the burden — no additional information was provided as to why
their inquiries have all of the sudden taken priority over the speeding concerns long-voiced by residents
living on the S-curve.
2. No additional data was provided indicating why no-parking is being prioritized over speed mitigation
measures in the name of enhanced safety. Parking on the S-curve may be an inconvenience for some
who want to navigate the curves unencumbered, but the real safety problem is their attempt to speed
through the curves. Implementing a no-parking zone only exacerbates this problem.
3. No feedback in support of the no-parking zone has been provided by residents in the impacted
area. Instead, they (we) all have voiced support for focusing on the real problem in the curves which is
excess speed of through-traffic.
In the meeting with City staff on June 3rd,two other discussion points were eye-opening as a concerned resident.
1
First, staff indicated that in making the final decision on this matter they would prioritize feedback from
impacted residents over feedback beyond the affected community. If that is the case,why are we talking about
a no-parking zone on the S-curve? Parking had never previously been identified as a problem on the S-curve in
the 22 years we have lived here; impacted residents were never consulted when the initial decision was made;
once the decision to impose it came to light, impacted residents have been universally opposed to it; and no
meaningful data has been brought to bear by the City in support of it.
And second, when asked why the City isn't focused on the real problem in this neighborhood—speed—and why
speed mitigation efforts such as speed bumps are not even being considered, staff replied that speed bumps
are problematic, contentious, expensive, and require a lot of work from the City. We were also advised if this
is something we want to pursue, we would need to get involved with a City process that is developing traffic
priorities, after which we still may not have our concerns met. While I embrace the opportunity to engage with
the City on this front, I am struck by the dichotomy of City response afforded those of us who live in the impacted
neighborhood, vs. that afforded those who live outside of our community. It appears the City is placing a much
heavier burden on impacted residents to implement a known safety measure (speed bumps)that addresses the
real problem in the neighborhood (speed). Conversely, for some yet articulated reason, the City has placed a
much lesser burden on, and attempted to fast-track over the objection of impacted residents, a request from
those living outside of the impacted area to implement an unproven safety measure (no-parking zone)that only
serves to address their inconvenience of having to go the speed limit when going through the S-curves.
Let's redirect City attention and resources to help citizens focus on the real safety problem in the S-curve
(speed), not the inconvenience of the few.

Re: Placement of no-parking zone on SW Ascension Drive
I am writing to oppose the City of Tigard's decision to implement a no-parking zone on both sides of the S-curve
section of SW Ascension Drive, cited in a letter dated May 19, 2020 and signed by Tegan Enloe, City of Tigard
Senior Project Engineer. My concerns include the following:
1) the process by which the decision was made;
2)the data on which the decision was based;
3) how the proposed no-parking zone exacerbates the real problem (speed), which is not being addressed; and
2
4)the lack of reasonable mitigation afforded the impacted residents if this no-parking zone is allowed to go into
effect.
With regard to the decision process, there was no process that included any engagement or input from the
impacted members of the community. The first notice residents received was a letter from the City in April to
Ascension Drive residents indicating that a no-parking zone was being implemented. No data was provided
regarding the basis for the decision, nor was there any prior engagement with the impacted community
members. Only after pushback from residents who live on the S-curve did Jason Snider commit in an email
dated April 14th to have staff reach out to the community for a dialogue.
We are still waiting for that dialogue.
Meanwhile a crew was sent on May 21st to begin installing no parking signs,and later that day residents received
a letter from the City informing us that it was proceeding with the no-parking zone, even though the promised
dialogue between the City and residents never occurred. Once again, only after pushback from impacted
residents did the City agree to delay implementation and seek a conversation with community members in an
email from City Manager Marty Wine. The problem is that Marty already admits in that email that the decision
is made and any discussion with citizens is purely perfunctory. As I relayed in my email to Marty on May 215t,
this is highly disappointing and dismissive of the citizens who live in the impacted area. We expect a more
thoughtful and engaged dialogue with our City representatives, not a pre-ordained dictate.
As for the data cited by the City, at best it can be categorized as anecdotal and incomplete, and not something
on which to base a major policy decision negatively impacting multiple community members. First, in all of the
communications we have received so far, the City indicates it was prompted to go down this path when
"contacted by a Tigard community member expressing concern over the drivable width of SW Ascension
Drive". So, the voice of a single community member who may or may not live in the impacted area has driven
this decision over numerous households who are directly impacted, but whose voices were not, and still have
not been, solicited to weigh in by the City.
When pressed further,the City also cites two"crashes"that have occurred in the S-curves as basis for its decision
- a 2010 incident where a driver reportedly swerved to avoid a head on-collision with another vehicle in the
curves and knocked over a street light pole, and a 2018 "report" of a car driving through a private property yard,
"which may have been the result of over correcting to avoid colliding with oncoming traffic." First, both of these
incidents, if true, are the direct result of driver liability having failed to abide by Oregon's basic rule (driver must
drive at a speed that is reasonable and cautious for existing conditions) as well as the Duty of Care (operate the
vehicle at a reasonable rate of speed, keep the vehicle under proper control, and look out for all situations that
could cause an accident). If either driver had been maintaining proper speed, lookout and control, no accidents
of the sort described above would have happened. This is not the fault of the curves, but of the drivers. Beyond
this, I have a problem with the City citing as a defense of its position a "report" of an accident that "may have
been the result of over correcting". When directly impacting the lives of citizens with a policy, let's deal in facts,
not conjecture. And finally, the fact that the City can only cite two potential incidents as a basis for its decision
is insufficient. I am an original home owner who has lived on this street since 1998, and having two incidents
over the course of that time places our street equal to or better than any other street or intersection in the area
over that same period where no-parking zones are not being considered.
Which brings me to the no-parking zone itself. The problem on the S-curve is not parking, the problem on the
S-curve is excessive speeding by drivers. By implementing a no-parking zone on either side of the S-curve, the
City is only exacerbating that problem by providing an even clearer shot through the curves. The simple analogy
3
is what has happened on the local roadways during the recent stay-at-home order. According to the Oregonian
police issued almost 50% more speeding citations during a week in March over the same week a year ago, as
drivers were taking advantage of less traffic obstruction on the roads. To tackle the speeding issue on Ascension
the City should instead look to install speed bumps at appropriate locations, which local citizens have asked
for. The City previously indicated that the steepness of Ascension does not allow for speed bumps, but that
rationale is not consistent with speed bumps that have been placed on both Hillshire Drive and 135th. There
are relatively flat areas in the Ascension S-curve that can accommodate speed bumps.
Finally, I want to touch on the proposed mitigation offered residents of the S-curve if the no-parking zone were
to be put in place. In the FAQ accompanying the letter of May 19th, in response to a concern about how residents
on the curve could accommodate service vehicles, the FAQ indicates they can either park in the areas that allow
on-street parking and walk to our property, or alternatively have them park in our driveways. For many service
providers parking a block or more away from the house being serviced is not possible because of the weight /
volume of equipment required (e.g., a roofer), or it is logistically not possible (e.g., landscaper blowing bark
dust). And parking in the residential driveways is not possible or recommended either. Most service vehicles
exceed the weight-bearing specifications of driveways, so they will crack the pavement if driven on. Look no
further than the sidewalk entrance to the side street on the Ascension curve that has been destroyed multiple
times by service vehicles driving over it. It has happened so frequently that the City has stopped repaving that
section of the sidewalk/driveway.

We have not received any response to the last few letters we have sent to the city. We were also not invited to join a 15
min meeting to discuss the issue with city personnel. In talking with other neighbors, it appears the city has made up it's
mind on this and is not letting the resident's concerns change their opinion. I hope this is not the case. We pay way too
much in taxes to not have our voices heard over issues that greatly impact our neighborhood and home values.
We request to have a zoom call (if not a social distancing meeting in person) with ALL the neighbors and the elected city
officials to discuss this issue further.We are in phase 1 and this is totally doable.A 15 minute private meeting with
individual neighbors may allow the city to say they discussed it, but it is way different than all meeting together as a
group and having more officials present to listen to concerns and bounce ideas off of each other.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to meeting soon!

Dear Tigard City Council,
We are writing to express our concerns with the city's decision to implement no parking on both sides of
Ascension Drive.
We are original owners(January 1997) and live on the unmarked side street off Ascension(13032 SW
Ascension Dr.). Ascension Dr. is a steep hill and speeding has always been a factor in the upper parts of
the street. Many complaints have been issued through the years to try to find a solution for speeding.
The only thing that has been done is to put 15 mph signs through the curves. Now the city wants to
implement no parking through the curves which, in our opinion,will cause more speeding(creating a
racetrack thru the curves). A few parked cars here and there on the street cause people to slow down
and take the curves cautiously.
It appears that this whole issue has come up due to one complaint about congestion in the curves. Most
of the complaints over the years have been about speeding, so we don't understand why that is not the
bigger issue.
In an effort to reduce congestion in the curves,we feel that by implementing no parking on both sides of
the street it will inadvertently increase the speeding issues and make a dangerous situation for kids who
live in the area who routinely cross the street to visit each other's houses. We also have many families
of deer crossing back and forth daily from our flag lot to the green space across the street. If the street
is not allowed to have any parked cars on it, people will drive faster through the curves putting kids and
animals at risk.
The city mentioned the school bus stop was a problem, but the Tigard bus stop was in front of our flag
lot driveway for years as our kids were growing up(so the location can be moved). The flag lot might be
a safer option anyways since it is on a straighter portion of the street where many kids live that ride it.
The Beaverton stop could be moved to a safer spot up the street on a straight section.
We just heard about 1 near-accident that occurred in 2010 for the first time last week. We do know
about the other incident when a car ran over the corner house's grass and assumed it was due to speed
given the car had to jump the curb to get on the lawn. We would like to hear more about both of these
incidents if possible to see if congestion or speed was the issue. Other than those 2 incidents in the past
23 years,we don't know of any other issues and even those were not serious accidents.
There are many streets around us that are much narrower than ours and also have blind spots due to
hills or curves. You just slow down to accommodate the street. City code does not seem to be an issue
with these streets,so we are not sure why it is such a big issue with ours. Even if you put no parking on
one side, you could still fit 2 cars going up and down the curves. Why would the city not take into
consideration our concerns and/or at least start with one side to see the impact. By closing both sides
there is much more impact on the homeowners and the potential for speeding and people/animals
getting hurt.
Ultimately the bigger issue on Ascension is speed and not congestion. 8y putting no parking on both
sides of the street the speeding will increase, putting kids and animals at greater risk. Other
consequences for the neighborhood will be more congestion up the street due to more cars parked
from below(those neighbors will also lose on-street parking since Oxalis has 1 side parking already and
is very limited),the impacted houses thru the S curves will lose on-street parking which will affect their
home value and cause difficulty having repairs or garden service done at their house (since the work
trucks will have to park up the street). In addition, people will be tempted to park on our private flag lot
(like the city truck who was installing the no parking signs last week). Overall,there is much more to
lose than to gain by implementing no parking(mainly creating a bigger speeding issue).
Please consider all these concerns and hopefully we can all work together to come up with the best
solution.
Thank you for your consideration! We will be attending the virtual council meeting on 5/26.

No, I don't support= Don't Support
FeedBackText=As a resident and homeowner directly affected by this, we want to express that we DO NOT SUPPORT
the implementation of a no street parking zone along SW Ascension drive.
We cite the following reasons for our opposition:
1. Lack of or very minimal engagement with the city residents directly affected by this measure during the decision
making process.The only engagement we were afforded as affected residents was a brief 15 minute video call with
Tigard city engineers and staff scheduled AFTER the communication was sent informing us of the implementation of the
measure.These meetings were also scheduled after we sent communication to the city regarding our concerns about
the plan when informed via mail.
2. Very little consideration given to proposed solutions by my neighbors and Ito help come up with a compromise.
Several proposals were put forth, such as one sided parking,and speed bumps to help reduce speed before entering the
curve, to help make navigating the curves safer while allowing us impacted residents to have access to street parking
near our houses.
3. It will also affect our access to services that require providers to park on the street in close proximity of the house
(think contractors, roofers, painters, landscapers, and movers to name a few). Not all houses along the affected area
(ours included) have large or long enough driveways to accommodate the some of the trucks these service drivers
utilize. Having the service provider walk back and forth from their vehicle parked several hundred feet up or down a hill
to fetch or dispose of material will cause some home improvement jobs take longer and may result in us paying more for
these services. I think this is a very important consideration that was missed given that the houses in the neighborhood
are of that age that will require these services.
Thank you for your time.

To Whom It May Concern:
We live in the affected section, and our household does NOT support the initiative to post "No Parking" signs on both
sides of the street along Ascenion's S-curve. We implore the City of Tigard to instead re-review the Ascension
neighborhood's continued requests for a comprehensive solution to Ascension's speed &safety issues as described
below. We've responded to Tegan Enloe's letters, participated in "outreach"video conferences, and watched the Council
live-stream 5/26-yet it still seems our neighborhood's feedback is not being heard.
The proposed "no parking" plan would increase speeds through the S-curve, reducing safety while also punishing
residents (who would no longer be able to have service vehicles park nearby for roofing repair, lawn care I bark blowing,
etc.) thus contributing to neighborhood decay. A more thorough approach considers Ascension's speeds in both the S-
curve and its linked straight-aways from Teal up to Mistletoe, as shown in image below. As reviewed with City of Tigard
Engineers in 2018, speed humps (or pinch points, etc.) in red would be placed at the the flattest sections between rises
along Ascension Drive (like existing humps on Fern, 135th, Benchview in yellow)to reduce straight-line speeds and
improve safety, while minimizing impact to emergency vehicles &street maintenance.

Drivers continue to speed through Ascension every day with impunity. Tigard PD and City engineers have several years
of studies showing increased velocity(33-38 MPH vs. posted 25 MPH limit) and volume from "cut through"traffic
traveling from Bull Mtn Rd to Barrows / Progress Ridge area. We have reviewed this with the City of Tigard time and time
again, with the only resulting aid being two "15 MPH" speed suggestion signs at either end of Ascension's S-curve in
2018, which has done nothing to fix the speeding. Ascension residents have been asking for traffic calming measures
(speed humps, pinch points, bike lanes, or similar measures that slow speeders down).
Ascension residents have already suffered enough damage from drivers speeding through our neighborhood, putting
residents (incl many kids who play in our yards &driveways), bicyclists, and other motorists at risk.
We've had property damage (incl underground pipes & sprinklers) as shown in the image below from a speeder forcing
another car off the road and through our own yard -those trenches were TEN (10)feet from our house in Nov 2017.

Removing street parking punishes Ascension residents, and will fail to improve safety. We need street parking to
keep our homes well cared for-consider the weight/volume of equipment required for a roofer or the logistics of
having a landscaper blowing bark dust for example. Both need to be near the home to do their job effectively, as do
weekly lawn services, maintenance &repair trucks, etc. where parking in the residential driveways is not possible or
recommended because many service vehicles exceed the weight-bearing specifications of driveways, so they will
crack the pavement if driven on -thus cost & inconvenience of fixing these clearly foreseeable damages from removing
street parking...
Engineering should consider both driver Psychology/Skill Level AND the basic Physics of"Force = Mass times
Acceleration"to account for:
1 - Excess speed along Ascension's straightaways (were we propose those speed humps, which will keep traffic closer to
25 MPH), as it becomes harder to control a vehicle as speed increases, so steering and braking become more difficult
to manage as vehicle speed and/or mass increase.
2 - Drivers speeding 30+ MPH as they enter the S-curve tend to "straddle the center part"of the road in order to (1)slow
down enough to (2) properly navigate the turn in their own lane. Said another way, it's easier to slow from 25 MPH to
the S-curve's 15 MPH maximum (a 10 MPH decrease)than if you're slowing from 33 MPH (18 MPH decrease), especially
when accounting for today's SUVs &Trucks getting bigger(more mass) and drivers being more distracted than when this
road was designed in the'90s.
3 -Ascension's S-curve and its adjoining straightaways function together as a system, rather than a collection of unrelated
parts. Designing one element (the curve)without accounting for the other elements (straightaway speeds, entry/exit
dynamics, etc.)will lead to compromises in safety and benefits.
POINT: If drivers are doing closer to 25 MPH in the straights (and 15 as is posted at both ends of the S-curve), they'll
need less time &distance to change direction &speed of their vehicle to navigate a 15 MPH S-curve--or when a
child unexpectedly runs into the street to retrieve a ball, or an oncoming truck veers into their lane.
Please develop a comprehensive approach that fixes the core issue (excess speed in the straightaways of Ascension's
rise) rather than punishing those of us who live in the S-curve by removing our street parking and contributing to the
neighborhood's decay.
Respectfully,

Subject: Public Comment - Parking Zones on SW Ascension
Caution!This message was sent from outside your organization. Allow sender l Block sender
We are asking that the Tigard City Council reconsider the plan to install no-parking zones on SW Ascension Dr.
We have a serious speeding issue on Ascension. If you remove the parking it removes the natural speeding deterrent
and the street will become an open speedway. No parking zones will NOT make the street safer. It will make this street
MORE dangerous.
Property values and marketability will decline. I spoke with a realtor who lives on our street who said that not having
street parking would be a problem for buyers. Personally, I wouldn't buy a house without street parking.
Speed humps like those on SW Benchview would solve speeding issues.At slower speeds the limited visibility is a non-
issue because drivers will be in control enough to stop when necessary. One side street parking would be the
compromise that makes everyone happy.
Below is our letter sent to the City of Tigard on May 26 stating our concerns.
Please do not make this street more dangerous! Listen to those of us that are directly impacted by this decision instead
of the very few complaints made by people not in this neighborhood. We are requesting more conversations with the
decision makers as it seems our concerns are not being heard or considered.

Date:May 26, 2020

We are responding to the City of Tigard letter dated April 8, 2020, and the letter of May
18, 2020 regarding the removal of on-street parking along the curves on SW Ascension.
The City of Tigard letter of May 18 simply does not offer enough explanation and
research data to support the removal of parking along the curves.
1
Having lived on SW Ascension Dr. for over 6 years we are very aware of the dangers of
traffic issues on the street. From our perspective, speeding is a much bigger issue than
limited visibility. While it is true that the curves limit visibility, if appropriate speed and
caution is applied, the limited visibility becomes a non-issue. We agree that it can be
annoying to have to take turns to navigate through the pinch points on the street where
cars and landscapers or other service vehicles are parked on both sides, but this small
annoyance actually creates a safer and forced speeding deterrent.
If this deterrent is removed, SW Ascension Dr. becomes a wide open speedway, as well
as an invitation for more traffic, with drivers seeking quicker shortcuts for their route.
This creates a danger to our many neighbors with small children. Even as an adult,
crossing the street to get our mail has become dangerous because of the speeding
traffic. We also need to consider the deer crossing the street that are vulnerable to
speeding vehicles.
Those of us that live along the curves where the city is removing on-street parking will
have no parking options for our guests once our small driveways are filled. Filling SW
Oxalis with overflow parking, as suggested in your letter, will create a hardship and
initiate complaints from those neighbors. Asking us to park on the other sections of
Ascension where parking is allowed, as suggested in your letter, is not feasible. This
street has an extremely steep incline. Forcing us or our guests, several of whom are
elderly with health issues, to park so far away from our home and then have to climb the
distance is putting them in a situation that could compromise their health and well
being. Service vehicles pulling a trailer simply will not fit in many, if any, of our
driveways.
We believe that the accident in 2010, sited in the City of Tigard letter, would not have
happened if proper speed was used. The report of a car driving through a private yard
"may have been the result of over correcting to avoid colliding with oncoming traffic", (as
stated in the letter), is nothing more than conjecture. It may have been the result of
speeding, texting, driving while intoxicated, or many other reasons.
We appreciate that the city is making efforts to make our street safer. But, we urge more
considerations for the consequences that the action of removing on-street parking will
create. Please consider the perspective of those of us that actually live here, not just the
limited city staff observations. Has the city staff actually walked up the steep incline
along the curves to experience the challenge of parking so far away and walking uphill
to visit. The May 18 City of Tigard letter stated that this parking removal action is based
one one complaint. Please listen to the many voices of the residents that are affected
directly by this action, not just one voice.
2
It seems as though the City of Tigard is trying to fix something that is not broken. What could be
considered "broken" is the speeding issue along SW Ascension. Please fix that! Removing on-street
parking will make this street more dangerous. Please reconsider.

Topic= S Curve Ascension Drive, No Parking
No, I don't support= Don't Support
FeedBackText=We had the meeting with city council staff, but did not feel they understood the concerns that residents
had been raising for years. In fact, it appeared that it was a foregone conclusion that the city would be implementing the
no parking rule for the S curve.THIS WILL NOT deter drivers from slowing down. It will decrease safety, as more drivers
will be speeding up and down Ascension. It also appeared that the 15-minute meetings were just a formality to check a
box. Apparently, there is money to hire an outside firm for resident recovery, pre and post implementation, but not for
speed bumps.
We were also frustrated that the concerns of individuals that did not live in the affected parts of Ascension were being
given higher priority over those impacted. We are curious about the clout these individuals have on making the city
move hastily forward WITHOUT engaging impacted residents BEFORE making the decision (as evidenced with no parking
signs that were being put up).
We are requesting the following:
1. A stay on any decision to implement the no parking.
2. A residents meeting with the Mayor present.
3.A copy of the complaints that were filed.
4. All data that was used to determine no parking.
5. All data used to determine the installment of speed bumps or lack thereof
6. All data regarding speed studies.
7. Plan for moving vans, weight-bearing trucks that can't park in driveways.
8. Impact on residents on the upper portion of Ascension, along with Oxalis.
9. Data on the impact of no parking on property values.
The issue on Ascension is NOT the parking of cars; but speed. IF an individual is injured,the city will be liable.There have
already been some near misses. Cars parked on the street deter people from speeding.
We urge the city to not take our concerns lightly.

FeedBackText= Dear Mayor Snider and City Councilors,
My husband and I met with city staff members last week to discuss the banning of parking in the S-curve on Ascension
Drive. While I appreciated the opportunity to meet,the time was not designed to have a true dialogue about the real
issue regarding speeding and what were options to mitigate that ongoing challenge. While apologies were made for the
untimely posting of the No-Parking signs,the truth is the letter stating the decision had been made (with no input from
residents)was sitting in our mailboxes.
I continue to be stunned that three complaints by residents outside the curve trump years of speeding complaints by
residents actually living in the S-curve. I also can't believe that staff members aren't recognizing that the request to
remove parked vehicles is motivated by those not wanting to observe speed limits.
I am asking that the mayor and councilors meet with residents to discuss the real challenge,which is speeding.
Yesterday your site was down when I tried to submit my comments. During those few minutes,five cars drove by my
home speeding. Please help us solve the real problem.
Sincerely,
Maureen Wolf

Topic= No Parking @ S-Curve on Ascension Dr
No, I don't support= Don't Support
FeedBackText= I am writing in regards to the proposed no parking on Ascension Dr.. I am deeply opposed to this
initiative.The neighbors on Ascension, especially who live on the curve, have been complaining about speeding up and
down the hill for years. Nothing has been done other than posting two completely ineffective 15 mph advisory speed
signs at the top and bottom of the curve.Those came about after a meeting between me, Stanford Curry, and Mike
McCarthy two years ago.
During the meeting Mike gave a few suggestions. One of which was to park on the S-curve to force people to slow down.
Now we're being told that all parking will be removed due to a couple complaints.
So, doing the math,that will speed up traffic. How is it years of complaints about the safety of our children and
neighbors goes unnoticed while a couple complaints about having to slow down around a blind corner are immediately
addressed?What's the goal here?
Another concern in addition to safety is how the property values will be affected for those who lose street parking. I
already know the answer to this, but will we be compensated for our losses?Are you prepared for the numerous legal
attempts to retrieve our losses?
Wouldn't a win-win solution be to control the speed along the entire street?Thereby decreasing the speeds around the
corners, preventing the speeders from crossing the lanes of traffic to "maintain their line through the apex"?
The most effective means of slowing traffic would be to install speed humps.We have been told, falsely,that speed
humps are ineffective.That is completely untrue.
SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT
In addition,there are a couple of bus stops at the top of the curves. Unhindered traffic coming up the hill will need much
more distance and time to come to a stop. As it is now it's a matter of time before something drastic happens. You're
about to make things worse.
It is up to you,your duty,to make this city safer!

Donald Sims Public Meeting Comments (6/9/2020)
Having lived on Ascension Drive for almost 20 years, I appreciate the invitation to
share with the City of Tigard the critical need for increased traffic safety in our
neighborhood.
My background and experience as it relates to this subject:
• Retired as a 22-year federal law enforcement Special Agent and regional
director in 2006; advisor to Oregon's governor on upgrading security
throughout the state following the 9/11 attacks.
• Served two tours of duty in Iraq advising military and police leaders on
increasing security and defeating the threat of IEDs by insurgents and
terrorists.
• For the past seven (7) years, have assisted in delivering police leader
training in U.S. partner nations.
Observations & Recommendations re: Safety on Ascension Drive
The overarching issue & threat to neighbors and children is the excessive
speeding and unsafe driving that has been well-documented for many years.
Not having a clear sight through the "S-Curves" is a challenge to drivers when cars
are parked on both sides of the street.
However, this situation becomes dangerous when drivers consistently exceed the
15-mile speed limit in the "S- Curves."
The majority of drivers using Ascension do not live in our neighborhood.
They use Ascension as a shortcut to other locations, it's convenient, and it saves
time.
If the City decides to move forward with the "no parking in the S-Curves," there
will be a trade-off: increased clear sight with a substantial increase in excessive
and unsafe driving.
Excessive speeding is at the heart of the problem and risk to Ascension neighbors.
One very effective way to slow down speeders is by the police issuing speeding
tickets.
An example of this is the city of Coburg, Oregon, where the police strictly enforce
traffic laws.
If you speed in Coburg, you will be ticketed; the citizens know this; the system
works!
In contrast to Coburg, the Tigard Police Department has done virtually nothing
about the speeding on Ascension since I've lived here. Speeders know the lay of
our neighborhood quite well and take full opportunity of the fact that there is no
police deterrent or consequence.
Speed humps are also important and proven speed calming measures that have
been ignored by the City—even though they work 24-7 and are cost effective.
Police leaders that I work with have shared with me their universal opinion that
speed humps are their most effective speed calming tool—in combination with
police traffic enforcement.
Permanent flashing speed signs on both sides of Ascension are also needed, and
here's why. Several years ago one flashing speed sign was installed on my
property. And during that time, cars noticeably slowed down. Unfortunately, the
flashing speed sign was removed after two weeks and never returned.
In closing, [thankfully] no one that I'm aware of has been injured by a speeding or
reckless driver on Ascension. However, if it does happen and some child was
injured or killed, the City could have exposure based upon the fact that we have
made the City aware of these issues for more than five years.
Thank you for your consideration.
V/R,
Donald Sims

Topic= No Parking on S curves on Ascension Drive
No, I don't support= Don't Support
FeedBackText=We as residents along this portion of Ascension drive are deeply concerned and outraged by the
decisions being made by the city council regarding the parking situation along our street. Like many of our neighbors we
are concerned that an already dangerous section of the road will now be similar to the chicane portion of Laguna Seca
raceway. Currently cars parked along the street force traffic to slow down and look through the blind spots in the curves.
Removing the freedom to park cars along this section of the street entirely will most certainly give speeding drivers the
increased freedom to race through these curves putting the lives of our neighbors, children, and pets at risk. Maybe the
city instead should consider hanging finish line flags along the route to give speeding drivers the full racing experience.
Furthermore,we live at the end of the private side street off Ascension with 4 houses on it. We feel strongly that the no
parking signs will force delivery vehicles, landscape, and construction vehicles to use our drive as a parking area and
staging area while making their deliveries and performing their work.This will increase the congestion on this very small
street potentially causing accidents and further driving down the value of the homes along this stretch of road. We urge
you to take another approach to this situation and consider our concerns.

TIGARD Memorandum
To: Mayor, Councilors and City Manager
From: Chief Kathy McAlpine g' vti71
Re: Force Response Questions
Date: June 8, 2020
Introduction
The overarching point to this discussion I would offer for consideration is that force response,
like much of law enforcement, cannot be effectively siloed into neat compartmentalized
packages of"if this than that" responses. Because Graham v Connor applies the 4th Amendment
objectively reasonable standard to any use of force (force response), these fall into a very much
grey area when considering policy, training, and review. We write policy to this standard of law,
train to the policy, evaluate actions constantly through training and review of the events in the
field, and reassess at all times, the policy, training, and action of our officers. It is hard to
succinctly convey this understanding to those who do not operate in this profession because it
seems like a commonsense process but that belies the nuances that have to be included or the
everchanging landscape of constitutional law, federal and state statutes,and case law.
Graham v. Connor Standard— Objective Reasonableness Standard
"Determining whether the force used to effect a particular seizure is `reasonable' under the
Fourth Amendment requires a careful balancing of'the nature and quality of the intrusion on
the individual's Fourth Amendment interests' against the countervailing governmental interests
at stake."
"As in other Fourth Amendment contexts,however, the `reasonableness" inquiry in an excessive
force case is an objective one; the question is whether the officers' actions are `objectively
reasonable" in light of the facts and circumstances confronting them, without regard to their
underlying intent or motivation."
"Because the test of the reasonableness under the Fourth Amendment is not capable of precise
definition or mechanical application,however,its proper application requires careful attention to
the facts and circumstances of each particular case, including the severity of the crime at issue,
whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and
whether the person is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight."
"The reasonableness of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a
reasonable officer on the scene rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight."
"The calculus of reasonableness must embody allowance for the fact that police officers are
often forced to make split second judgments — in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and
rapidly evolving—about the amount of force that is necessary in a particular situation."
1. Require Officers to De-escalate Situations
• Policy 300.3 Use of Force
• De-escalation is a result,not a tactic or process.
o No set skill or package of learned responses can be given called de-escalation.
o Everything an officer does, from mere presence, verbal commands, up to use of
deadly force,can lead to de-escalation.
o Even using discretion to avoid contact if appropriate can lead to de-escalation.
■ Example — walking away from a person in crisis, threatening to harm
themselves or the police, when they are within a confined area, and not a
threat to the public or another person.
o Graham Standard - We train to constantly evaluate the situation, from initial
conditions to final resolution, to determine the reasonably necessary amount of
force response needed to safely and effectively resolve the situation; situations
change and evolve over time and require this constant evaluation; officers are
expected to weigh (balance) the need and amount of force response (and it's
perceived risk) against the need for governmental intrusion.
• De-escalation requires the cooperation and willingness/ability to engage from the subject
as well as time.
o Sometimes subjects are under the influences of substances or in crisis and
unable/unwilling to cooperate or engage.
• Facilitated by distance or physical barriers to allow for safe interaction.
• We are constantly evaluating a force response situation to make a determination of the
appropriate response to the behavior exhibited by the subject.
o This evaluation prompts us to escalate or de-escalate based on the circumstances.
o Officers are cognizant of those situations that do not fit "normal" interactions
and usually on guard for medical intervention as quickly as possible.
o Examples
o Subject wearing only underwear and covered head to toe with small cuts from
running through brush seen in apartment complex parking lot running into
and damaging parked vehicles; subject non-communicative, only grunting;
rushed headlong toward officers as they were creating a plan to safely restrain
subject; guided him to the ground and cuffed him;immediately called for the
medical units staged to come in;paramedics (with our assistance) had to strap
him to gurney because he was continuing to struggle against handcuffs so
paramedics could evaluate and transport to hospital for evaluation.
o Subject apparently under the influence of methamphetamine reportedly kept
family member from calling 911; subject found in front of convenience store
and was not cooperative with police, saying he would fight us if we tried to
arrest him; large, about 5-10 and 3001bs; got him into handcuffs but he
actively fought against efforts to get him into the back of patrol car; after a
minute of struggle, got him on to the ground; as soon as possible (less than
60 seconds) rolled him onto his side when he said he was done fighting.
• Training at Tigard
o Individual training disciplines include component skills that lead to de-escalation
in their respective environments.
• Defensive Tactics (DT) —use of control tactics, both verbal and physical,
that are not considered patently deadly.
• EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operations) —decision making on whether or
not to engage in pursuits or when to use appropriate intervention
techniques (PIT, stop sticks).
• Firearms — shoot/no shoot decision making, verbal commands and
warnings.
• Taser — using the Taser, threatened use of Taser, display of warning arc,
use of targeting laser.
• Force on Force —inclusion of realistic scenarios that should result in de-
escalation without resorting to deadly force or any physical force.
o Trained multiple times annually and evaluated in the Force on Force session
towards the end of the year.
o Example Training Scenario
• December 2019 Force on Force
• Suicidal person alone in apartment.
• Upon contact, officers typically attempted to coax the person into safely
coming outside to speak with them in person or establish a plan that the
person would not harm themselves but rather call 911 for more help.
• Expectation was that officers would not enter the apartment and force a
confrontation that may end in deadly or physical force; either walk away
or contact a supervisor for guidance.
• All students handled the call to this expectation.
2. Prohibiting officers to choke or strangle civilians
o Choke or strangulation is considered a deadly force application, and like all deadly
force application, is restricted to circumstances when deadly force is authorized
by law.
o US Const. 4th Amendment
o Oregon Const. Article 1, Section 9
o ORS 161.219
• 300.3.4 Carotid Control Hold
Due to the significance risk of applying pressure to a person's neck, the Tigard Police
Department does not train nor authorize the carotid control hold,lateral vascular
neck restraint, or other force application that constricts the circulation of blood or
impairs a person's breathing as an application of force other than in any situation
where the use of deadly force would otherwise be authorized (published 6/8/2020).
• Policies 300.1 Use of Force Purpose and Scope and 300.4 Deadly Force
Application
o We do not train choke or strangulation methods in any discipline. This was
removed from our policy during our accreditation process. We did not train on
this technique and so it was removed.
o Similar to driving over someone as a deadly force application
o Not a trained tactic in any discipline here but may be appropriate and effective in
the right circumstances (Imminent threat to life must be articulated).
3. Requiring officers to intervene and stop excessive Force used by other officers and
report these incidents immediately to a supervisor
• Policy 300.2.1 Duty to Intercede
• Policy 340.1.2 Standards of Conduct—Duty to Report Excessive Use of Force and
Misconduct
• Covered in the police academy and during the recruits training program.
• Also reinforced through realistic scenario-based training.
• Daily Training Bulletins (DTB). Lexipol provides written scenarios for officers to
apply the policy manual or case law. Some questions come shortly after a Supreme
Court ruling. The Service Lieutenant selects 20-25 questions from the list provided
by Lexipol and all sworn officers are required to do their DTB's each month.
4. Restricting officers from shooting at moving vehicles
• Policy 300.4.1 Shooting at or from a moving vehicle
• Example to use would be shooting at the driver of a vehicle being use in a mass
casualty event (vehicle borne attack like driving a truck into a crowd of people.
• This asks us to limit the ability of officers to take objectively reasonable actions to
stop threats when it may be appropriate or even necessary under the circumstances.
• Vehicle can be a weapon just the same as guns, knives,baseball bats, etc.
• Graham standard application.
• Cannot reasonably foresee all potential events and should not establish policy that
prevents officers was using an objectively reasonable amount of force.
5. Develop a Force Continuum
• These were originally developed as a way to help officers understand the criteria of
legal basis for force responses.
o Started before Graham became the standard but certainly were used to apply
the criteria of Graham into digestible bites.
• Portrayed force responses as an"if this then that" decision making model.
o In other words, if the subject is doing something, then we can do something
within a spectrum of appropriate actions to counter or thwart the risk.
• DPSST (Oregon Police Training Academy) discarded continuums from their training
in 2009 to focus on a legal standard curriculum and analysis.
• Lexipol recommendation is to discard continuums.
• In 2016 PERF (Police Executive Research Forum) advises against having a force
continuum.
• Continuums can be construed to limit the ability of officers to respond to situations
that do not fit neat silos or create the presumption that an officer's actions, though
objectively reasonable under the circumstances, were outside of policies if a
continuum is rigidly applied.
• We train and evaluate force response to the Graham standard and policy which has
incorporated this standard.
• Training no longer includes a force continuum but emphasizes that an objectively
reasonable force response is dependent on the facts and circumstances
confronting the officer at the moment force is applied.
• Firearms
o Shoot/no shoot evaluation.
o Decision making and discretion evaluation.
• DTs
o Uses of lower risk tactics that can easily lead to escalated tactics to
overcome resistance.
• Force on Force
o Scenario based with live role players to simulate the spectrum of necessary
force responses.
o Evaluation of student (officer) performance provides allowance for all
objectively reasonable tactics and techniques to be employed.
o Stress exposure.
• Field event reviews
o By supervisors in time proximity to the event for a thoughtful and critical
analysis of the event compared to the Graham standard.
o Creates a touchpoint for individual to review their actions from an
external and objective standpoint.
• Our approach to force response is more in line with the concept of
Constitutional Policing.
6. Request Officers to exhaust all other reasonable means before resorting to deadly
force
• This is coveted in Graham v Conner
• Policy 300.3.2 Factors Used to Determine the Reasonableness of Force
• Policy 300.4 Deadly Force Applications (Use of Deadly Force is justified in
following circumstances)
7. Require officers to give a verbal warning
• To the point of 300.4 b — Fleeing subject Tigard Officer was involved in an Officer
Involved Shooting incident OIS 2016 illustrates the point of deadly force being used
to stop a subject fleeing on foot who had just engaged officers in a gunfire while
driving down busy surface streets and freeways after firing a gun during a hotel
robbery; subject was seen with gun in hand as he ran on foot at the end of the vehicle
pursuit and was trying to escape over a fence.
• We train to give verbal warning in all training disciplines (firearms,Taser, DTs, etc.).
• Policy 309.4 Verbal and Visual Warnings (Electronic Control Devices Taser).
• Standard is typically to give verbal warning if time and circumstances allow before
using force.
• Very much understood to be a reasonable step if the circumstances allow for it.
8. Require officers to report each time force is used or threatened against civilians
• Policy 300.5.1 Reporting the Use of Force,Notification to Supervisor
• Drawing a weapon (firearm, rifle, taser) and keeping it at the low ready is not a
reported use of force. The moment the weapon is pointed at a person, it is a
reportable use of force.

How Long Have You Lived In Tigard = 16
Previous Community Activity= I have been on the Tigard Youth Advisory Council for just about three
years where I have served as Secretary for two years and am currently President.Through TYAC I
volunteer at many city events such as State of the City,Tree Lighting,and Movies in the Park. I also
volunteer at my school to help set up for events and the next school year.
Other Relevant Information= I have plenty of leadership experience from TYAC(President for one year
and running again this year and I was also the Secretary for two years)and leading other clubs at my
school. I also do my best to stay informed on local politics and what is happening in Tigard.
How Did You Hear About Us= I heard about the Youth City Councilor Program through Kent Wyatt,
TYAC's Staff Liason who told us about the program last year when it was first created.
How do you plan to represent all Tigard Youth?=The most important thing about representing all of
Tigard's youth is opening a dialogue with them. If was chosen as Youth Councilor, I would do my best to
always be open to talk to students and youth of all ages. In order to represent them all, I need to know
what they want the City Council to do.What I have found from being on TYAC is that nearly all teens
don't know what TYAC is or that there is a Youth Councilor. I would change this by raising publicity about
the Youth Councilor position through a strong social media presence,word of mouth advertising, and by
interviewing teens about their views on the city(similar to what Mayor Snider did). By informing youth
about what I could do,they can help inform me about what they would want me to do/what they want
to see changed.Something else that I'd be open to trying is making a short video each week about
upcoming events in Tigard and generally what is going on in the city. I think that this is important to
ensure that students see me as their peer, as someone to talk to if they need help. Overall, I would do
my best to be available to Tigard's youth in order to best represent them.
Change=Something that the City of Tigard is responsible for is communication with the public. From
advertising events or what is happening in the city, I believe that this needs to be improved. Most
people don't know who is on the City Council or what the council is even doing.What I have found in my
time in the Tigard Youth Advisory Council is that people don't know about resources that the City
provides,so informing citizens on that type of information would prove useful as well. By raising the
amount of publicity of city-based events,and by organizing more,community engagement will improve.
I would recommend posting short weekly videos on the City's Instagram and hosting new events(such
as community service events to help improve community relations). I also know that the City has
recently started a new podcast that will also hopefully help inform citizens.So as Youth City Councilor
would aim to facilitate communication between the community and the city.

ISSUE
Shall City Council approve a Resolution of Necessity to acquire Temporary Construction
Easements (TCEs) and Permanent Storm Drainage Easements over two parcels to construct
the Frewing St Stormline Replacement project?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Approve the Resolution of Necessity to acquire easements over two parcels.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Property acquisitions for Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs) and public storm
drainage easements are a necessary step in the Frewing Storm line replacement project
(Capital Improvement Plan Project No. 94041). With 90% design of the storm drainage
alignment complete, legal descriptions of the property needed for public infrastructure for
permanent storm drainage easements are complete. The city will need approximately 9,643
square feet of temporary construction easement and 3,110 square feet of permanent storm
drainage easement from property owners. This project is replacing the existing culverts on
Frewing Street that are in poor condition, providing added capacity with an additional culvert
and installing manholes for access and maintenance.
The resolution is part of the easement acquisition process and authorizes city staff and legal
counsel to negotiate in good faith with the owners and other persons holding an interest in
the real property described in the Resolution of Necessity. If the city manager or her
designee determines that a satisfactory agreement for acquisition of any property or interest
therein is not likely to be reached in a timely manner, the resolution allows the city to obtain
immediate possesion and pursue aquisition through eminent domain.
The cost of easement acquisition is included within the project budget as approved by City
Council in the Capital Improvement Program.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose to abandon the property acquisition process and terminate the project
or attempt to negotiate for the easements without a Resolution of Necessity. Abandonment
or delays to the project may impact the ability to construct a follow-up sidewalk infill project
on Frewing Street tied to a Washington County Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG).
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
Recommended improvement in the Capital Improvement Project Budget

as well as the cities of Tigard, Forest Grove, Cornelius, Durham, and King City.
The Community Development Block Grant Program was created in 1979. Under the
provisions in place at that time, no cities in Washington County qualified on their own to
receive funds (entitlement) through the program. The jurisdictions created a Policy Advisory
Board (PAB) to "provide the cities of Washington County, as well as the county, the
opportunity to actively participate in an advisory role to the Washington County Board of
Commissioners in the planning, implementation, evaluation, and policy formation of the
CDBG Program of Washington County."
The city currently participates on the PAB, making recommendations on policy and
competitive grant awards. Councilor Newton is the city's representative on that board.
As population in Washington County grew, cities began to meet the thresholds required for
individual entitlement. Once those thresholds are met, each city must elect to receive their
entitlement individually or to continue to participate in the consortium. The opportunity to
make this election occurs once every three years as part of a process called the Urban County
Qualification.
In 1994, Beaverton elected to become a standalone entitlement recipient. In 2000, Hillsboro
elected to become an entitlement city, but remain in the consortium, an arrangement known
as joint entitlement. In 2018, Hillsboro became a fully independent entitlement recipient.
The City of Tigard first crossed the population threshold to qualify for entitlement with the
2015 round of Urban County Qualification. At that time, the city opted to remain as part of
the consortium under the status quo and Council directed staff to examine the city's options
moving forward. Based on a recommendation from staff, the city again opted to remain in
the consortium during the 2018 Urban County Qualification.
The city will be notified again in April of 2020 of its CDBG entitlement eligibility. The city
must take action within a few months of this notification to elect to become an entitlement
city or remain in the consortium. Tigard is currently under the county's CDBG consortium
through June 30, 2021. The next 3-year cycle begins on July 1, 2021.
Staff recommend that when notification is received during the current requalification process,
the city elect joint entitlement with the Washington County Consortium. This
recommendation is based on the strategies presented in the city's Affordable Housing Plan
and consultation with county staff.
Process and Timeline
In order to become a joint entitlement community, the city and county are required to sign
two agreements. The first document is the Operating Agreement that lays out the specific
terms under which the county and the city will work together to implement the joint program.
That document was approved by Council on April 21, 2020.
The document under consideration tonight is a HUD-standard intergovernmental agreement.
There is not much room for negotiation of this document as it must fulfill HUD
requirements. All program parameters were set out in the previous action on the Operating
Agreement.
The timeline for this process is nearly complete. Tonight's action will be the last action to
formally accept joint entitlement. Staff have kept the joint entitlement process moving as
expected with colleagues in the Washington County Office of Community Development.

Award Amounts
The Department of Housing and Urban Development uses one of two formulae to determine
award amounts under the CDBG program.
Formula A is based on the local jurisdictions share of three factors in relation to all
metropolitan areas:
1. population,weighted at 25 percent;
2. people in poverty,weighted at 50 percent; and
3. overcrowded units,weighted at 25 percent
Formula B is based on the local jurisdictions share of three factors in relation to all
metropolitan areas:
1. population growth lag since 1960,weighted at 20 percent;
2. people in poverty,weighted at 30 percent; and
3. pre-1940 housing units, weighted at 50 percent
During each allocation period, HUD uses the formula which results in the largest potential
award for each jurisdiction. This results in an amount for the program that exceeds the
Congressional budget line item, and so the awards are recalculated using a pro rata reduction.
Washington County and the HUD office do not calculate the relative contribution of each of
the cities within the consortium with each funding cycle. However, during the Urban-County
Qualification period, these amounts are calculated. Tigard's hypothetical award amount during
the previous qualification period (2014) would have been $226,080. During the most recent
calculation (2017), the award amount would have been $331,446.
Allocations
With joint entitlement, all administrative activities remain with Washington County. In
addition, certain program activities continue in the same manner as if the city remained fully
in the consortium. This results in a distribution of the city's allocation to various programs
and reduces the total amount available to the city from the full HUD award amount. The
county's proposed formula for this distribution and an example breakdown of amounts based
on the 2017 allocation is below.
Use Percent [Amount
Administration 20% $66,289
Public Services 15% $49,717
Remain with Program 115% $49,717
City Priority 50% $165,723
ITotal Award J$331,446
Eligible City Priority Programs Toint entitlement offers the city far more flexibility in
implementing programs provided that the county has the capacity to administer the reporting
and that the program is actually eligible under HUD guidelines. Rather than the typical
infrastructure projects the city competes for against other funding priorities in the grant
process,Tigard can use the funds for more housing-related initiatives that are the core intent
behind the CDBG program.
The city can also use funding for infrastructure projects as well as opportunities and capacity
PP p tY
arise.
A basic menu of the types of programs that the county could and would support Tigard
implementing with its allocation include:
•Down payment assistance through community land trusts,
•Land purchases or purchase assistance for affordable housing,
•Rehabilitation of properties serving low-income households, and
•Infrastructure projects,including ADA retrofits in qualified neighborhoods.
The County has agreed in principal that down payment assistance programs as described in
the 2019 Affordable Housing Plan would be eligible for CDBG funding. Both Beaverton and
Hillsboro currently allocate a portion of their CDBG entitlement to similar programs.
Although the County has not funded down payment assistance with CDBG in the past, they
agree that there is sufficient precedent in the other cities' current programs and that their staff
could rely on the experience of those cities' staff in administering the funds in a manner that
meets HUD requirements. The down payment assistance program in turn allows the city to
augment any funds allocated to that purpose from proceeds from the construction excise tax.
Expenditures of Funds
If the city chooses joint entitlement, it will be required to spend our allocation annually,
although the Operating Agreement allows a rollover of up to 50% of the City Priority amount
from year-to-year within the three-year CDBG cycle.
CARES Act
The CARES Act of 2020 included $5 billion in supplemental funding for the Community
Development Block Grant program. Of this amount, $2 billion will be distributed according
to the 2020 allocation formulas within 30 days. Tigard was not an entitlement city during the
2020 allocation, and so will not receive any direct funding from the CARES Act, although the
City may compete for project funding as in past years.Joint entitlement will provide the
opportunity for direct allocation from similar measures in the future.

AMENDMENT TO HOME CONSORTIUM COOPERATION AGREEMENT 2
II. ACTIVITIES
A. The Members agree to undertake or to assist in undertaking housing assistance
activities for the HOME Program in compliance with the adopted Consolidated
Plan.
B. The Members agree to affirmatively further fair housing in their jurisdictions.
Such actions may include planning,education, outreach, and enforcement
activities.
Ill. ADMINISTRATION
A. Washington County is designated as the Representative Member of the
Washington County HOME Consortium and agrees to assume overall
responsibility for ensuring that the Consortium's HOME Program is carried out
in compliance with the requirements of the HOME Program. Responsibilities
include meeting the requirements for the Consolidated Plan, in accordance with
HUD regulations at 24 CFR Parts 91 and 92 respectively. City Members agree
to provide needed information to the Representative Member to allow full
reporting and monitoring as described in 24 CFR 91.425,24 CFR 91.430, and
24 CFR 91.520.
B. Washington County is authorized to amend this Agreement in order to add new
members to the Consortium,to incorporate automatic renewal provisions or for
other reasons approved by HUD on behalf of the entire Consortium unless
otherwise specified in this Agreement. Any such amendment will be in writing
and sent to all current Members.
C. Effective July 1 of the first year of this Agreement, a City Member may elect
one of two participation options. The selected option shall remain in effect for
the entire number of years covered by this Agreement. However, a waiver to
shift between options may be allowed by the County provided the City Member
and the County mutually agree that such a request was necessitated by the
existence of the conditions referenced in paragraph F. of this section. For the
purpose of executing this Agreement,the City Member agrees to provide the
County with written confirmation of its preferred option selection within thirty
(30)days following the date of its approval. Option preferences are as follows:
1. Option One.Allows the County to administer all HOME funds on behalf
of the City Member including selection of projects.No separate"City Set-
Aside"would be made. City Member shall compete for the general pool
of Consortium funds reserved for project selection. Projects shall be
selected annually by the County's Policy Advisory Board,or by members
AMENDMENT TO HOME CONSORTIUM COOPERATION AGREEMENT 3
of a HOME Project Selection Panel appointed by the PAB. City Member
shall appoint one(1)representative to the selection panel. Final
determination of projects shall be made by the Washington County Board
of Commissioners. All administrative funds authorized under current
regulations accrue to the County.
2. Option Two.Allows a City Member to specifically designate its HOME
"Adjusted City Set-Aside"to projects independent of the County's
selection process. The member may operate an independent selection and
evaluation process using a"City Project Selection Committee"or other
authorized mechanism. As with Option One,project implementation and
administration remain with the County. All Administrative funds
authorized under current regulations accrue to the County. Option 2 will
not be available to City Members for the 2021-2023 HOME
Requalification period.
D. City Member(s)that choose Option Two may collaborate with other City
Members or with the County to facilitate HOME projects or may choose to
pursue independent projects or activities. However, if the member acts
independently and sponsors projects exclusively in its jurisdiction,the County
and the balance of consortium members may elect not to authorize the use of
additional consortium funds, above and beyond those already designated as the
"Adjusted City Set-Aside"unless City Member allocates a proportionate
HOME contribution to the same project. This provision shall be exercised or
waived at the discretion of the County's Policy Advisory Board(PAB).
E. Should HOME funds be de-obligated by HUD for any reason, the County will
calculate the impact of de-obligation on each consortium Member and make
further refinements to the amount of each"Adjusted City Set-Aside"allocated
to each Member. The reduction in funds to each Member will be
approximately proportionate to the Member's contribution to the cause of the
de-obligation,unless members of the consortium agree otherwise.
F. Members agree to carry out program activities in conformance with 24 CFR
Part 92. In recognition that CDBG and HOME funding are inextricably linked
to the development of affordable housing, the County will take into
consideration the effect of any major de-obligation of the City Member's
CDBG entitlement on the City's ability to continue to function at the Option
level originally selected by the City Member under Section III. C. above. If
warranted,the County may agree to allow the City Member to make a shift
between Options provided that the City Member requests such a waiver in
writing at least sixty(60)days prior to the commencement of the next
scheduled program year. Under the provisions of this Agreement, the City
Member shall only be allowed to make one change between Options 1 and 2
during any three (3)year term.
AMENDMENT TO HOME CONSORTIUM COOPERATION AGREEMENT

G. As the Representative Member, the County will incur costs in conjunction with
the overall administration of the HOME Program. The County will identify
HOME Program administration costs in its annual budget,which may include
revenues from sources in addition to the HOME Program. Nevertheless,the
general administrative costs attributed to the consortium Members will not
exceed ten percent(10%) of the Washington County Consortium's annual
HOME allocation.
H. Member(s) agree to supply information necessary for participation,including
but not limited to HOME Program Activity set-up and completion information
required by HUD's Integrated Disbursement& Information System(IDIS) and
to maintain records to support the HOME Match. Member(s)shall also be
required to meet the CHDO requirements (as described in D. &E. of Section
IV.). Member(s) files or documents relating to the HOME Program are open
for inspection by the County,or its designee,upon request. The County may
monitor Members for compliance with this Agreement. The County agrees to
provide reasonable technical assistance to Members to help promote
compliance. Any Member found by HUD to have committed an act or
omission, or to be responsible for a finding that will require repayment of
HOME funds to the federal government will be solely responsible for such
repayment.
I. Any Program Income generated as a result of project activity sponsored by a
Member acting independently under Option Two shall remain with the
Member. However,on an annual basis,Member shall report to the County the
source and amount of program income collected by the Member. The County
will include such program income information in IDIS formats,as necessary.
Member(s) agree to conform to HUD regulations as they apply to program
income and reapply those resources to eligible HOME activities.
IV. FUNDING
A. The amount of funding provided the Member from the Consortium's annual
HOME entitlement shall be designated as a"City Set-Aside"and will be
initially calculated each year based upon the most current data contained in the
HUD,"HOME Consortia Participating Members Percentage Report"
(hereafter,HUD Percentage Report).
B. The initial or basic"City Set-Aside"derived from the HUD Percentage Report,
plus any program income retained by the Member during the preceding fiscal
year, shall be adjusted by the County by subtracting ten percent(10%) from
the total of these two elements and shall be designated for the County's
administrative costs. An additional five percent(5%)for CHDO Operating
Expenses will also be deducted. Such deductions shall only be made from the
AMENDMENT TO HOME CONSORTIUM COOPERATION AGREEMENT 5
"City Set-Aside". Following these deductions, the net amount remaining shall
be allocated to the City Member as its "Adjusted City Set-Aside."
C. When acting under Option Two, the Member agrees to assist the County to
insure HOME funds designated as an"Adjusted City Set-Aside"are obligated
in a timely fashion and are committed(contracted)within two (2)years from
the date the funds are made available to the member.
D. County shall be responsible for insuring that the five percent(5%) assessment
(referenced in B.,above), is withheld from the City Member's"City Set-Aside
and applied exclusively towards meeting the federally mandated reservation
for CHDO Operating Costs.
E. Under federal guidelines the CHDO project set-aside must be no less than
fifteen percent(15%) of each HOME entitlement. However, as a matter of
policy,the CHDO Project Set-Aside has been fixed at twenty percent(20%) of
the County's annual HOME entitlement.Under Option One,the County will
insure this requirement is met. Under Option Two, the Member shall be
required to meet this annual requirement by calculating and committing twenty
percent(20%) of its "Adjusted City Set-Aside"to HOME projects sponsored
by CHDO's within its jurisdiction.
F. City Member(s)may apply to the County for a partial or complete waiver to
Section IV. E. above. However, the County will not consider such a request
until it has calculated whether the HOME Consortium can meet the twenty
percent(20%)CHDO Set-Aside through its selection process. The County's
staff at the County's Office of Community Development will advise the City
Member as to when, and if, the submission of a waiver request can be
forwarded by the City Member to the County's Policy Advisory Board. Any
request(s)for a waiver must be submitted in writing.
G. Should any Member fail to meet any of the obligations or exceed any of the
limitations described in this Agreement, and should such failure jeopardize
compliance of the Consortium as a whole, the County shall have the right to
exercise final control over re-distribution of funds among Members in order to
insure that all grant requirements are met. The County shall consult with other
Members of the Consortium prior to any potential redistribution of funds under
this provision.
AMENDMENT TO HOME CONSORTIUM COOPERATION AGREEMENT
V. TERMS OF AGREEMENT

Attention: Marty Wine, City Manager
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently
issued instructions for renewing Washington County's Urban Entitlement status
under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for program
years 2021-2023 (or July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024).
As of June 2014, the City qualified in its own right as a metropolitan city
entitlement when it achieved a population threshold of 50,000. At that time, the
City opted to defer its status and remain in the CDBG Consortium with
Washington County. According to the recent guidance, "any unit of general local
government that meets "metropolitan city" status for the first time and wishes to
defer such status and remain part of the county, or to accept such status and
become a joint recipient with the urban county, must notify the county and the
HUD Field Office in writing that it elects to defer its metropolitan city status or to
accept its status and join with the urban county in a ioint agreement. This
notification from the City to the County and HUD must occur by or before June 9,
2020. The address for the local HUD office is:

Attn: Jason Triplett
1220 SW 3rd Avenue, Suite 400
Portland, OR 97204-2825
In that I have been working with your staff over the last year on moving to
the joint entitlement status, I will assume that continues to be the City's preferred
option. Enclosed is the Joint Intergovernmental Agreement that will need to be
executed by the City. Your city's authorization of the execution of the IGA
must be documented in one of three ways: 1). Agenda and minute order, 2).

Resolution and Order, or 3). Copy of the completed minutes showing the
motion and approval. A copy of that authorization as well as the executed IGA
must be provided to this office.

Attention: Marty Wine, City Manager
Re: 2021 - 2023 HOME Consortium Cooperation Agreement
Dear Mayor Snider
In 2020, your City will enter into a Joint Agreement with the County respective to
the Community Development Block Grant program. HUD guidance for the HOME
Program requalification states that "if a metropolitan city has a Joint Grant Agreement
with an urban county for the CDBG programs and wishes to receive HOME funding with
the urban county, it must form a HOME consortium with the urban county." This letter
transmits to you the HOME Consortium Cooperation Agreement for program years July
1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The agreement is the same as used in the last cycle
but adds the City of Tigard as a HOME Consortium city member.
Please place the approval of this document on your Council's agenda as soon as
possible in order to allow me to place it before the Board of County Commissioners
agenda by June 23rd. A copy of the authorization (either through agenda and minute
order, Resolution and Order, or copy of completed minutes) must be submitted to the
• County in addition to the executed Agreement. Please note: Per HUD requirements in
the Notice "In addition to the required language for the automatic renewal
provision, in order for HUD to recognize the automatic renewal of the agreement,
the authorizina resolution of each member unit of general local government must
authorize the automatic renewal of the Agreement for successive qualification
periods, and the Agreement must remain effective at least until the HOME funds
from each of the federal fiscal years of the Agreement's specified qualification
period, and each successive qualification period for which the Agreement is
renewed, are expended on eligible activities. " Please ensure this language in
included in your agenda item.
