The plan examines the impacts of the community's growing demand for services, the effects of related planning efforts, the implications of demographic changes, and the contributions made by the park system in providing relief from high density urban development, The contributions made by residents were important in developing a vision for the future of the Tigard Park System, and in identifying future park and recreation needs and priority improvements. Community members said they believe that parks and recreation should: • Help foster child and youth development; • Provide relief from urban development; • Meet the needs of residents of all ages through accessible facilities and opportunities; • Provide access to the natural environment; and • Build a sense of community. The Park System Master Plan outlines how the City of Tigard can deliver the benefits of parks and recreation that residents have said they value and desire most. TRENDS AND FACTS Tigard is struggling to maintain its quality of life as the city and the area around it continues to become more densely populated. The population of Tigard has increased by 97% in the last 36 years. The inventory of vacant land is dwindling, while land prices By 2008,the City ofTigard are at an all-time high. The city is bisected in many places by heavily traveled four-lane will provide park and rec- roads. Residents perceive heavy traffic to be one of their biggest community problems. reation services for a total In this environment, space for park and recreation facilities that enhance and of57,00oresidents. improve the City's livability is at a premium. In addition to providing park and recreation facilities for residents within its boundaries, the City of Tigard will begin providing these facilities and services for the 7500 residents who live within the Urban Services Area beginning in early 1999 through a proposed Intergovernmental Agreement with Wash- ington County. By 2008, according to Metro Service Data Center estimates, the City of Tigard will provide park and recreation services for a total of 57,000 residents. The urban growth boundary will likely remain unchanged in the Tigard area. As a result, growth management policies in the region will continue to emphasize higher density, in- fill development. ,'S Because Tigard is already densely populated and there are increasing pressures on the existing vacant land, it is essential that partnerships, joint use agreements, and cooperation form key elements in the provision of park and recreation facilities and services. MIG, INC. PAGE I PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD EXISTING CONDITIONS �• The City's park and open space system is comprised of a variety of facilities: �.. • Pocket Parks; • Neighborhood Parks; • Community Parks; • Linear Parks; and • Greenspace and Greenways. An evaluation of park facilities was completed in order to understand the current park system and to project future needs. The process included the following: • Facilities Inventory. An inventory of existing parks, recreation facilities and open space; • Evaluation of Existing Facilities: An evaluation of the condition of existing City parks; • Park Facility Analysis: A comparison of numbers and types of recreation facilities in Tigard to local and national standards; • Management, Maintenance, and Recreation Services Assessment An evalua- tion of organizational structure, maintenance standards, staffing and budget, and options for providing recreation programs and services; and • Planning Area Analysis An inventory and evaluation of potential park sites. Existing facilities require As of October 1998, the City of Tigard had 150 acres of park land including updating to meet three pocket parks, two neighborhood parks, two community parks, and three linear changing standards, such as the American's with parks. It owns 163 acres of undeveloped greenspace located primarily along waterways Disabilities Act,and child and within the I OQ-year flood plain. Local schools provide the community with 105 safety requirements for acres of public open space. Residents have access to facilities at five elementary schools, play areas. two middle schools, one high school, and three other school district sites. Many parks have aged and need renovation to continue to serve the community. Existing facilities require updating to meet changing standards, such as the American's with Disabilities Act and child safety requirements for play areas. The findings of the Parks System Resource Inventory&Analysis, combined with the results of the community involvement process, indicate that new neighborhood and corn- New neighborhood and munity parks, additional open space and trails, and new recreation facilities will be necessary community parks, to meet Tigard residents' needs as the population grows.

Along with more park land acreage, additional recreation facilities, such as basketball courts and rollerblade/skateboard areas, will be required to meet residents needs as the City grows. These recreation facility needs should be considered when new parks are developed or existing parks are renovated. Neighborhood and commu- nity involvement should also be encouraged when siting future recreation facilities and renovating existing facilities, PAGE II MIG, INC. • CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT More than 500 community members, including residents of all ages, commu- nity leaders, the Master Plan Task Force, City of Tigard staff, and the Tigard Planning More than commu nity members have Commission, have served as partners in the development of this Master Plan. The served as partners in the components of the public involvement process included: development of this • Scoping interviews MasterPlan: • Community workshops • Mail-out survey • Youth involvement discussions, projects, and comment sheets • Presentations to civic groups • Presentations to City Council Residents expressed an interest in increased community participation in park planning and design. BUILDING CONNECTIONS Parks, recreation facilities, trails and open space are essential elements in enhancing the quality of life in Tigard. They foster healthy, active lifestyles, strengthen a sense of community, protect the environment, contribute to a healthy economy, and help mitigate the effects of growth. Through building connections in the form of intergovernmental agreements, and through building physical connections between parts of the city, the City of Tigard will provide a park system that: • Contributes to overall community livability and pride; • Balances the impacts of growth and increasing density with parks and greenspaces; • Reduces auto-dependency and enhances recreation opportunities by con- necting recreation resources, community destinations, and neighborhoods with trails and greenways; • Fosters stewardship of natural resources such as floodplain and waterways; • Provides equitable distribution of parks and recreation opportunities through- out the City; • Provides safe and well-maintained parks and recreation facilities; and • Provides for effective and economically sound management of public resources. RECOMMENDATIONS Existing parks should be expanded and renovated and, where possible, land It will not be possible to should be acquired and new parks developed.

PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD the Urban Services Area will depend, in large part, on creative and cooperative inter- agency and intergovernmental agreements for the joint use of public facilities, and for the development of park facilities on existing publicly owned land. Partnerships between the City and school district should be on the agenda. In addition, the City of Tigard should initiate joint use agreements with the Unified Sewerage Agency and Tigard Water District to ensure effective use of available resources, Developing safe and convenient on-street and off-street pedestrian/bicycle travel routes from neighborhoods and schools to parks could help alleviate traffic problems while at the same time offering increased access to parks and recreation facilities. Cooperating with other Tualatin River communities to develop connections among cities along the river can expand recreation opportunities for all area residents. Tigard area residents have limited opportunities to participate in recreation As new park facilities are g PP P P developed,funding for programs. Of those who participated in the public involvement program, most would maintenance must also be like to have recreation programs and services more readily available to them. The City increased. of Tigard should establish an organizational structure to deliver recreation programs and services to residents of Tigard and the Urban Services Area. Because Tigard has grown so significantly, it is also time to re-evaluate the organizational structure for providing park and recreation facilities in the future. As the parks, recreation, and open space system expands, funding for mainte- nance must also be increased. While maintenance staff does an excellent job with the resources available, developing a maintenance management plan for each park and greenway could contribute to more efficient use of resources, staff and volunteers as responsibilities increase. FUNDING PLAN The ten-year Capital Improvement Plan totaling $21.7 million was designed not to exceed the sum of anticipated revenues from System Development Charges plus the additional taxes citizens would likely be willing to pay for improvements to their park system. The funding plan for priority land acquisition and facility improvements addresses fiscal years 1999-2000 through 2008-2009. The Capital Improvement Plan recognizes the need for flexibility in making modifications to the ten-year plan with regard to potential land acquisitions and park improvement. If properties that are critical to the park system come on the market, the City must have the ability to evaluate the situation and move in a timely manner. The same flexibility is needed with regard to potential grant funding and partnership opportu- nities, which may not follow the timeline or be identified in the plan. Maintenance costs can be expected to grow based upon the Capital Improve- ment Plan. Projections indicate the need for an additional maintenance position approxi- mately every two years for a total of 15.3 full-time equivalents (FTE) in 2008-2009. If Tigard-Tualatin School District properties are added to the acreage now maintained by the Parks/Grounds Division (a move that is being discussed by the City of Tigard and the Tigard-Tualatin School District), an additional 7.2 FTEs would be needed. PAGE IV MIG, INC. CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN FINANCING SOURCES Citizens who participated in the master planning process indicated that Tigard residents would be willing to pay an additional $100 per household for park and Many Tigard residents would be willing to pay an recreation facilities and programs each year. Assuming a $150,000 home, the tax rate additional$100 per producing $100 of tax would be $.66/1000. Based on projections for numbers of household for park and households in Tigard over the next ten years, it appears that approximately $1.7 million recreation facilities and could be realized during the year 2000, increasing to $2.I million in 2008. programs each year. Under the parks System Development Charges (SDC)fee schedule now being considered, $540,000 in revenue is projected for the coming fiscal year. This includes $92,000 that the City of Tigard will collect from development in the Urban Services Area contingent upon adoption of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Washington County. Over the next ten years, it is anticipated that approximately $5.0 million will be raised through SDC fees to help fund the proposed Capital Improvement Plan. The use of General Obligation Bonds could support rapid and dramatic im- provement of the park system. Funds could be available within the first year to begin acquiring land and building projects shown as years away on the proposed Capital Improvement Plan. Repayment would occur over time, so citizens would be taxed on the principal and interest over the life of the debt. A ten-year bond issue sufficient to fund $16.7 million of capital improvements would cost taxpayers $.70/1000 in the first year. Under a Local Option Levy, additional property taxes would be collected over a specific time period to fund capital projects. Revenue generated each year would be used to fund scheduled projects. During the first year, the cost per thousand dollars for a '1 ten-year levy of$1,670,000 would be $.55. This translates to a tax of$82.50 on a o'1 $150,000 home in the first year. The disadvantages of funding capital improvements through a local option levy include the potential for inflation, and the loss of efficiency AIN and cost-effectiveness that could result from dividing capital projects into multiple phases. Fees charged by the City of Tigard for use of sports fields and group picnic sites are low compared to those charged by cities of comparable size, In most cases, fees could be doubled and still remain in line with those charged by other cities surveyed. Funds raised through grants from government agencies or private foundations would make it possible to accelerate the schedule of capital improvements as well as including additional recommended projects.

It is our hope that those who participated in this planning process will find their vision for Tigard's future park system accurately described in the pages of this document. With continued community support, park resources will be protected and enhanced for the enjoyment of future generations. Park and recreation opportunities will continue to build community and help residents achieve an active, healthy lifestyle as Tigard grows and changes. MIG, INC. PAGE I CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CHAPTER Two: TRENDS AND FACTS As the southwest gateway to the Portland metropolitan area, the City of Tigard straddles the boundary between rural and urban zones. It has the advantage of being near one of the country's most progressive large cities to the north, and it looks south to the predominantly rural Willamette Valley. Like other cities in the area, Tigard is facing increasing growth pressures as the region's population continues to expand. This chapter offers a profile of the Tigard community and the changes it is expected to face. This information is important in identifying trends that may impact future parks and recreation Tigard is facing increasing needs. growth pressures as the region's population contin- ues to expand. COMMUNITY PROFILE The City of Tigard was incorporated in 196 I , just 37 years ago. However, the community of Tigard (formerly Tigardville) is now almost 150 years old. Settled in the 1850s, it is one of the oldest communities in the Northwest, but one of Oregon's youngest incorporated cities. Its significant geographic features include the Tualatin River, Fanno Creek, Summer Creek, Bull Mountain, and Little Bull Mountain. As part of the Portland metropolitan area, Tigard will share the region's future. Regional and local planning agencies have forecast that the city's population will continue to grow and increase in density over the next several decades. Currently, the population of Tigard is 37,000. That figure is predicted to increase to 47,000 by the year 2008. The Metro Council, the area's regional planning authority, has designated Tigard's downtown a Town Center. The City's main commercial center, Washington Square, will serve as a Regional Center. These designations may result in even greater growth and development in the community. In 1995, voters in the metropolitan area approved an Openspace/Greenspaces Bond Measure. The goal of the measure is the acquisition and preservation of a signifi- cant number of the remaining openspace/greenspaces in the Portland region. The bond measure has also focused attention on the relationship between the area's growing population, the eventual need for additional park lands, and the need for comprehensive park planning at the regional and local level. In addition to providing park and recreation facilities for residents within its boundaries, the City of Tigard will begin providing these facilities and services for the 7500 residents who live within the Urban Services Area beginning in early 1999, through a proposed Intergovernmental Agreement with Washington County. By 2008, By2008,the City of Tiard according to Metro Service Data Center estimates, the City of Tigard will provide park will provide park and rec- and recreation services for a total of 57,000 residents. Because the urban growth reation services for a total of 57,000 people. boundary will likely remain unchanged in the Tigard area, growth management policies in the region will continue to emphasize higher density, in-fill development. A sense of community and civic pride are demonstrated in Tigard's arts and festival offerings. The annual Tigard Festival of Balloons at Cook Park is a highlight of the Portland Rose Festival. Every mid-June, hot air balloons fill the skies over Tigard and attract people from around the region. The Tigard Country Daze and Tigard Farmers MIG, INC.

The next largest employers are retail trade (24%), finance/ insurance/real estate (11%), manufacturing (I 0%), construction (10%), and wholesale trade (8%). %.' Tigard is fairly well educated. Of residents over age 18, 90% have completed high school and, of these, 38% have earned an associates degree or higher. Although Tigard itself does not have a center for higher learning, it is within 18 miles of six colleges and/or universities. DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE Urban growth in Tigard is a relatively recent phenomenon. As late as 1960, Tigard's population was just 347 people. Each decade since the I960's has seen triple digit growth or greater. In the period from 1960 to 1996, the City grew from 347 to 36,000. By the year 2008, Tigard's population is expected to grow to 47,000, an increase of almost 61% since 1990. With the addition of residents in Tigard's Urban Services Area, the Tigard Park system will be serving approximately 57,000 residents in 2008, Tigard's population and the State of Oregon are increasing in diversity. Asian and Pacific Islanders are the largest ethnic minority group (2.6%) in Tigard. Native Ameri- cans, Black Americans, and other minorities each comprised about I% of the popula tion. For parks and recreation providers, the varied traditions and use patterns of these new user groups will need to be reflected in future park planning and design. al- --, -cimf Al:'. .,4A1Ms-;:'44,'..:,'..$1.,':q.-5..-;.N.'

CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN To determine future community needs, anticipated trends among the City's population were studied. In the fall of 1996, the City of Tigard conducted a community survey for its Tigard Beyond Tomorrow program. The survey contacted 396 Tigard households by phone. The following are the most important facts and trends revealed in the survey results: • Tigard's population is young, 60% of its population is age 44 or younger, ■ Almost 6 out of 10 Tigard residents (59%) have lived in Tigard 5 years or less. • Almost 8 out of 10 Tigard residents (78%) have lived in the city 10 years or less. Building community identity will continue to be a challenge as the City adds more new residents. • The number of residents that own their own homes appears to have increased in recent years. Seventy-one (71%) of survey respondents indicate they own their own homes. By comparison, in 1990, only 58% indicated as such. ■ Household incomes continue to rise in Tigard. According to the 1996 survey, the median household income in Tigard was $55,000. In 1990, it was $45,379. Still, however, 29% of Tigard residents are considered to be of low to moderate income. • Three out of four residents over 18 (74%) do not have children in any area schools. • When asked to rate their community overall on a scale of I-10, with I being poor and 10 being excellent, Tigard residents gave their city a rating of 6.9. • When asked if—in the time they had lived in Tigard— their community had become better, worse, or stayed the same, respondents said: • 49% Worse; • 28% Stayed the same; and • 23% Better. ■ For those that answered worse, the top two reasons given were: • Traffic/roads have gotten worse; and • Too much growth/poorly planned growth. • For those that answered stayed the same, the top two reasons given were: • See nothing that is improving/no one is working to change things; and • Some things are better/some are worse. • For those that answered better, the top two responses were: As Tigard continues to grow and develop, park • Better places to shop; and services will need to grow • Road improvements/traffic flow. and change to meet the • Most residents thought that in the future, the livability of Tigard would needs of the community. decline. Sixty-eight(68%) said that livability would be worse, only 18% said it would be better, and 14% said it would stay the same. MIG, INC. PAGE 5 CITY OF TIGARD %...PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN SUMMARY As Tigard continues to grow and develop, park services will need to grow and change to meet the needs of the community. As the City adds residents to its population �- base that lack local historical ties, the City will be challenged to seek out and engage these community members as it attempts to understand and provide for their needs. `. While it appears that the City is becoming a place of relatively well educated, above average income people that tend to own rather than rent their home, research indicates that many residents feel that overall their community is moving in the wrong direction and could be a better place. As Tigard has grown and changed significantly in the past few decades, it has also retained some appealing natural features (Fanno Creek Greenway, Cook Park), it has established cultural attractions (Balloon Festival, Farmers Market), and it is only minutes away from one of America's great larger cities. These features, along with the park system, will be key factors in providing a livable community in spite of regional growth pressures. `., ,, ,, ' - *41ig''7''''''''4' — —a° ilk','N..i.;:/,:',.*1_,,,4 ; '':',.• s 4 milp e , 9 '2w S.fK 2.

CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PMN CHAPTER THREE: EXISTING CONDITIONS To determine future needs, it is important to understand the current park system. An evaluation of the current system was completed including: • Facilities Inventory: An inventory of existing parks, recreation facilities and open space; • Evaluation of Existing Facilities: An evaluation of the condition of existing City parks' • Park Facility Analysis: A comparison of numbers and types of recreation facilities in Tigard to local and national standards; • Management, Maintenance, and Recreation Services Assessment:An evaluation of organizational structure, maintenance standards, staffing and budget and options for providing recreation programs and services; and • Planning Area Analysis: An inventory and evaluation of potential park sites. FACILITIES INVENTORY To guide the evaluation of park facilities,a hierarchy of facility types was estab- lished (see Table I, Park System Definitions): • Pocket Parks; • Neighborhood Parks; Community Parks; — N Linear Parks/Trails; and Greenspaces and Greenways. As of October 1998,the City of Tigard had 150 acres of park land including three pocket parks,two neighborhood parks,two community parks, and three linear parks. It owns 133 acres of undeveloped greenspace located primarily along waterways and within the 100-year flood plain. Local schools provide the community with 105 acres of public open space. Residents have access to facilities at five elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and three other school district sites. Recreation facilities provided at City parks and schools,such as sports facilities, group picnic areas, children's play areas, and swimming pools were inventoried to determine the number of recreation facilities available to residents. The inventory of parks and recreation facilities is provided in Appendix A. MIG, INC.

CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN EVALUATION OF EXISTING FACILITIES MIG, Inc., and City Planning and Parks/Grounds Division staff conducted a park site and facility evaluation in November 1997. The purpose of this task was to evaluate the current condition of park facilities. Recommendations were made to improve the condition and increase the utilization of existing parks. Tigard's parks include a variety of facilities that support recreational needs. Thirteen types of facilities were rated. These included: • Structures (restrooms, picnic shelters, shade canopies); • Sports fields and facilities; ■ Play equipment; ■ Safety surfacing(for play equipment); • Site furnishings, • Exterior lighting; ■ Paths/paving/trails; ■ Signage; ■ lrngation ; • Drainage systemsystemss; ■ Vegetation; • Turf, and • Parking. may, ` 4 i ;� d d�` • " w� A. 11- ' , ,,,*,,,IA- .: .„..,,,, t ,•-•-, -,c,,-.. -;5;t1"7-':°:‘:: .�. ,fie ., f� .k ���✓ fir., Vis..ate: g ,. plO t S�ID,.cb �-.R s MIG, INC. PAGE I I PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD Facility scores were based on two criteria. The physical condition of each facility was rated to determine the need for maintenance or replacement. In addition, the capacity and function of each facility was rated. This second rating measured its adequacy to meet user demand and support recreational use. Scores were based on the follow- ing: I - Adequate: usable and functional/needs routine maintenance and repair; 2 - Substandard: needs renovation/doesn't meet standards; or 3 - Major renovation or replacement required/facility doesn't exist or needs expansion. Following is a general description of the findings. OVERALL CONDITION The City of Tigard's park system facilities range from high-maintenance, inten- sive-use areas to wetlands and habitat areas with trails for running and walking. All parks are well maintained considering the resources that the City devotes to maintenance. In most cases, maintenance issues seemed to be related to annual flooding. Few signs of vandalism or litter were evident. Major problems found during the site evaluation included: • Rood damage to trails, including broken asphalt, silt and mud deposits; ■ Drainage problems in sports fields; All parks are well main- • Lack of accessibility for people with disabilities as required by the Americans tained considering the re- with Disabilities Act (ADA); sources that the City de • Safety hazards in children's play areas; and votes to maintenance. • Lack of access to parks by public transportation. • 0 ' w0V,f7s>,11r., I. i i .. 4 :,...2:-.-si.,);:&,.1,1.. ,..1,-..... „, ,.........4,1igitli,,,', '. ‘,.,, , Al i.,:iot.;ITANi.t,,:‘- J: : ''' 1A4r'.-'' 'Ali tP x � a .� I f ,,..e.

CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN Public parks are considered a public accommodation, according to the ADA, and new or renovated facilities must be made accessible to people with disabilities. However, exact guidelines for accessibility are still under development. Park amenities that are currently described in the American's with Disabilities Act Guidelines(ADAAG), such as pathways, drinking fountains, and restrooms, must meet the requirements described.The proposed guidelines for play areas are currently being reviewed by the public,and could be finalized in the near future.Accessibility guidelines for other park _ elements are still under development by the U.S.Architectural and Transportation Compliance Board.An initial draft of recommendations for recreational facilities was first published in 1994, and refinement is currently under way. POCKET PARKS _ Pocket parks are small open spaces that are usually less than I acre in size. These parks are more costly to maintain than larger sites, and are of limited recreational use because of their smaller size.The primary benefit of pocket parks is their contribu- tion to community character. Except for Liberty Park,these sites are not highly used. Liberty Pork Liberty Park, located at the east end of Main Street, is a small open space with trees, shrubs, and benches. It was once garbage-strewn and inhabited by transients. However, since Parks/Grounds Division staff has limbed up trees and shrubbery to increase park surveillance, people cross the busy thoroughfare to eat their lunches in the park. Littering is no longer a major issue. Main Street Park This triangular piece of land is bordered on two sides by busy streets (Main Street and Pacific Highway) and on the third side by a sidewalk. It is, in fact, a piece of land that was left over from the Main Street/Johnson Street realignment and is within the Pacific Highway right-of-way. Ye Old Windmill Park Existing neighborhood parks could make a greater At Katherine Street and I2 I st Avenue,the City acquired a windmill for use as a contribution to fulfilling resi- historic site.The park is not highly used. dents' recreational needs. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS _ Residents of adjacent housing units primarily use Tigard's two neighborhood parks. If these sites were improved, existing neighborhood parks could make a greater contribution to fulfilling residents' recreational needs.As improvements are imple- mented, access for people with disabilities should be provided. Jack Park This 5.5-acre park is nestled away in its neighborhood. It is accessible from With renovation,Jack Park 127th Avenue and 128th Avenue only on foot through easements between residential could provide expanded lots. Parking is along the neighborhood streets.This hillside park is one of the few parks recreational opportunities to a greater number of in Tigard that does not regularly experience flooding. Its basketball court is in good households. condition, and the t-ball/softball field is suitable for pick-up games. Picnic tables are worn MIG, INC.

CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN sports activities and community events.At this point in its history, it needs renovation. Facilities for team sports include volleyball, soccer, softball, baseball, and basketball. The baseball and soccer fields are so heavily scheduled that one delay in league play causes delays throughout the entire day. Because organized sports are given preference,the fields usually are unavailable for informal use.The covered group picnic area is reserved at least one year in advance.The parking lot is in good condition but is not adequate to handle the crowds for major community events. A shuttle from the nearby Tigard High School parking lot is sometimes used to alleviate the problem. Recent improvements to the park include a newrestroom, a children's play area, an accessible fishing dock, a boat dock and ramp, and additional parking near the Tualatin River at the south end of the park.A covered bandstand is planned for construc- tion this summer. New athletic fields are the primary use planned for 21 acres recently purchased by the City.A seven-acre addition along the eastern edge of the park has been designated as a picnic and meadow area. • g' •a k � T �'•3.°"� ,. - _ QF� . ids Access for people with dis- �s �; abilities is limited. a • ' a ami As is the case in most City parks, access for people with disabilities is limited. Although paved access is provided to the group picnic shelters, none of the individual picnic tables is accessible.Access to trails, sports facilities, spectator areas, and play areas is limited and inconsistent. Portions of Cook Park are closed during the winter to prevent damage to saturated fields, and to protect the public from weather-related hazards, such as flooding and fallen trees. It is still possible for people to hike the trails along the Tualatin River, and to use the children's play area. However, no restrooms are open. The City should consider keeping some restrooms open during the winter for these users. MIG, INc. PAGE 15 ois PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD The Cook Park Master Plan proposed a multi-modal trail through Cook Park, connecting to the Fanno Creek Trail.This option should be pursued. Other pressing needs in Cook Park are to: • Improve the drainage and condition of the sports fields; • Develop an ADA transition plan to provide access for people with disabili- ties; • Upgrade play areas to meet current safety guidelines, provide accessibility, and provide play opportunities for children under 5 years; and • Inform the public about maintenance levels required for the varied areas within the park.

A community workshop to discuss lake and vegetation managmenet was held as part of this Park System Master Plan.An update to the Summerlake Park Master Plan is scheduled for 1999-2000. The most pressing needs in this park are to: • Provide accessible van parking; • Provide age-appropriate play areas for children less than 5t years of age; • Continue upgrading play areas to make them accessible to children with disabilities. PAGE 16 MIG, INC. - CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN ea Y 4' a 'a 'P F y m Linear Parks Tigard has two linear parks: Englewood Park and Fanno Creek Park. These parks are used primarily for trail-related recreation. Providing additional recreation facilities could expand their function. Commercial Park has been classified as a neighbor- hood park in the past, but it would function better as a linear park. Englewood Park The I 5-acre Englewood Park contains a little over one mile of paved pathways. The trail passes through neighborhoods, through wooded areas, and along a wetland. The right-of-way is minimally maintained. The Parks/Grounds Division has emphasized tree planting and maintaining a natural appearance. While the park is used primarily by people walking, bicycling and running, alcoves with play equipment and other recreation facilities could fill some of the need for neighborhood parks in the area. Currently, playground equipment is placed at three different locations. Renovation of the areas and modifications to the play equipment would enhance the attractiveness, safety, and usability of these spaces. Additional small- scale improvements may also increase the park's usability, Any improvements would need to be capable of withstanding periodic inundation, as much of the park is flooded each year. Fanno Creek Park Fanno Creek Park is 22 acres of open space with a paved, multi-use trail. Additional acreage is continuously being acquired to extend and connect trail segments. The right-of-way is minimally maintained in most places. The existing trail width does not meet ODOT guidelines for multi-use trails. MIG, INC.

There are two park benches just south of City Hall. Picnic tables have been placed at various points along the trail. Bridges across Fanno Creek have been con- structed from flatbed railway cars. An interpretive structure, sited at a dead-end over- looking Fanno Creek, has been vandalized over the years and all interpretive signage has been removed. It continues to provide shelter for transients. As in Englewood Park, opportunities exist for adding recreation facilities that would help fill the need for neighborhood park facilities. Hazards, such as the abandoned nature center, should be removed. Commercial Park Although this park has previously been classified as a pocket park, it appears to be used primarily as a pedestrian route between Commercial Street and Center Street. Its proximity to busy Highway 99W and the railroad tracks as well as its limited visibility makes it less than desirable as a play area. It may, however, fill a need for the residents of adjacent apartments. Currently, an old metal swing set is the only play equipment in the park. It has an inadequate use zone and should be relocated or removed. If play equipment is provided, equipment suitable for toddlers might be more appropriate, depending on the needs of the neighborhood. The trail through the park should be improved to make it more convenient, accessible, and safe to use. For complete results of this study, see the City of Tigard Park System Resource Inventory and Analysis, (MIG, Inc., 1998). PAGE 18 MIG, INC. CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN PARK FACILITY ANALYSIS The availability of park and recreation facilities and their ability to meet the recreational needs of the community is usually measured by facility standards. These standards are expressed quantitatively by the number of facilities needed to serve a certain number of residents (example: 15 total acres of park land per 1000 population, I basketball court per 5000 population, etc.). This quantitative ratio is the level of service provided. In 1998, the City of Tigard provided 7.65 acres of park land for every 1000 In 1998,the City ofTigard provided 7.65 acres of park residents. To determine future facility needs, the amount of park acreage and number of land for every 1000 resi- recreation facilities provided in Tigard was compared to standards recommended by the dents. National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). These standards were further refined to address regional recreation needs by comparing them with standards for comparable communities in Oregon, and by evaluating the geographic distribution of parks through- out the community. Based on this evaluation and the results of the community involve- ment process, recommendations for Master Plan park and recreation facility standards are proposed. These standards were used to calculate anticipated community needs for the year 2008. Tables 2 and 3 summarize recommended facility standards for each type of park and recreation facility for the years 1998-2008. Based on these recommended stan- dards and the existing level of service, the anticipated community need is presented. It should be noted that the existing level of service for recreation facilities includes school facilities. The school district does not currently have adequate funds to maintain these fields for public use. In order for these facilities to help meet community need, joint use agreements between the City and the School District may be necessary.

No standards are proposed for pocket parks, linear parks, or for specific miles of trails. The following is recommended: Pocket Parks Given the current density in Tigard, there may be underserved areas where pocket parks are needed to offset the effects of development and where sufficient land for a neighborhood park is unavailable. However, because of their high maintenance cost, pocket parks are not recommended where a larger neighborhood park could be provided. ■ Meet the needs of underserved residential and non-residential areas. Add additional pocket parks to the system: (I) to increase access in locations where residents do not have a larger park, orland available fora larger Pocket parks should be park, within a half mile radius of their homes; and(2 ) to enhance the designed to minimize main- tenance and provide for character of high density commercial, industrial and business districts. public safety. • Involve residents in pocket park stewardship. Pocket parks should be designed to minimize maintenance and provide for public safety. Each neighborhood or district should be involved in the design and maintenance of its pocket park.

Linear Parks/Trails A high demand for trails for walking, bicycling, and dog walking, was expressed through the public involvement process. This park type, which requires a narrow right of-way, may be easier to acquire than land for a neighborhood park in Tigard where the city is approaching build out. • Provide linear parks in natural and built corridors to create a comprehensive multi-use trail system in Tigard. PAGE 22 MIG, INC. CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN 0'1 • Protect natural corridors whenever possible to preserve the environment and provide residents with opportunities to enjoy and learn about Tigard's natural resources. • Meet the needs of underserved areas. Ideally, all residents should be provided convenient access to a neighborhood park. Where land acquisition opportunities are limited, linear parks may serve the neighborhood park needs of nearby residents. • Pursue joint use opportunities. Many opportunities exist to develop linear parks as part of development or redevelopment with both public and private agencies. Therefore, a wide range of joint use opportunities may arise with developers, schools, hospitals, private industry, utilities, transpor- tation providers, and other public agencies. There also exist opportunities to connect with the parks and trails of adjacent municipalities such as I .., Beaverton, Tualatin, and Durham. 01 o'1 -1 AIN AIN AuS r1 MIG, INc. PAGE 23 f PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD MANAGEMENT, MAINTENANCE AND RECREATION SERVICES ASSESSMENT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Tigard has a Council/City Manager form of government. The five-member City Council is the policy making body of the city. A City Manager is appointed by the Council to perform the administrative duties of the City. The Mayor presides over City Council meetings, and represents the city at meetings and special events. Responsibilities for park and recreation facilities are divided among Community Development,'Public Works, and Engineering (see Figure I). Community Development is responsible for evaluating and recommending park land acquisition and park develop- ment. Engineering usually assumes responsibility for the design and construction of capital improvement projects, and the Parks/Grounds Division of the Public Works Department performs maintenance. Responsibilities for park and The City of Tigard does not offer recreation programs and services. recreation facilities are di- vided among Community EVALUATION OF CURRENT OPERATIONS Development, Public Works, and Engineering. Overall, resources are being used well. Volunteers have been successfully utilized in the following ways: ■ Park Stewardship: The Parks/Grounds Division has been extremely success- ful in using volunteers to assist staff in maintenance operations, In 1997, volunteer hours totaled 2,345. At the end of the first quarter of 1998, the Parks/Grounds Division had recorded 1,280 volunteer hours toward their goal of 2,000 to 3,000 hours for the year. The recent addition of a Volunteer Coordinator in the Community Development Department could give an additional boost to the efforts of the Parks/Grounds Division staff ■ Tree 2000: Recently, the City of Tigard enacted a tree removal fee to supply funds for replacing trees removed to make way for new roadways, homes, and businesses. As the next step, the City commissioned a plan for reforestation, called 'Tigard 2000 Trees.' Following this plan the Parks/ Grounds Division is utilizing volunteers to plant trees in many of the City's parks and greenspaces. • Citizen Patrol: The Police department has supported the successful organi- zation of the Cook Park Citizen Patrol. Neighbors of Woodard Park and Summerlake Park provide surveillance of the parks and have been encour- aged to organize formally. PAGE 24 MIG, INC.

Tigard residents are not included in the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District but may elect to pay out-of-district fees to participate in the programs and use its facilities. Atfalati, a non-profit group, has been organized to support team sports. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR PARKS AND RECREATION There are several options for providing park and recreation programs, facilities, and services to Tigard residents in the future. • A new Parks and Recreation Department could be formed within the City of Tigard to manage park facilities and provide recreation programs and services. This organizational structure is the one most commonly used by municipalities, counties, and recreation districts. Maintenance functions could remain with the Public Works Department, or maintenance staff could be shifted to the Parks and Recreation Department. ■ A Recreation Division could be formed within an existing Department of the City of Tigard with responsibility for parks remaining shared among Community Development, Engineering, and Public Works. ■ The City of Tigard could contract with Tualatin Hills Park& Recreation District for recreation services only. • The City of Tigard could request annexation to the Tualatin Hills Park& Recreation District for park and recreation facilities and programs. • A new park and recreation district could be formed to provide parks and recreation facilities and programs. The new district could be one of two types, each having the ability to assess taxes, accept donations, and enter into intergovernmental agreements: o A special district (such as Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District), which has an elected board of directors; or • A county service district(such as North Clackamas Park and Recreation District), that has an advisory board appointed by the County Board of Commissioners, During the public involvement process, several participants spoke in favor of joining THPRD because the district has extensive facilities, a proven track record, an established tax base, and experienced staff. Those who spoke against this alternative did so primarily due to cost. PAGE 26 MIG, INC. CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN MAINTENANCE STAFFING LEVELS Maintenance staffing levels in the Parks/Grounds Division have not increased to address the continued expansion of park lands and greenspace. Each full-time employee (FTE) is currently responsible for more than twice as many acres as ten years ago. The .— expenditure per acre has also failed to keep pace. The City of Tigard has a lower 01 expenditure per acre than the cities of comparable size surveyed for this report(see Each full-time employee is 01 Table 4).

CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CURRENT FUNDING OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES General Fund Revenues The total budget for the Parks/Grounds Division in 1998-99 is $657,900. This figure includes Personal Services (employee wages and benefits), Materials & Services,and Capital Outlay for equipment.This budget is funded through general fund revenues,as is the .5 FTE planner assigned to parks. User Fees and Rents At present,the City ofTigard charges an hourly fee for the use of soccer and softball fields.Tigard-based residents and business are charged at the rate of$4.00 per hour, Tigard-based non-profit organizations at$2.00 per hour, and non-Tigard based users at$8.00 an hour. Tigard-based non-profit youth athletic organizations are not charged a fee for using athletic fields. Group site rentals depend upon the group size.All non-profit organizations are charged the lowest rates, ranging from $3.00 an hour(for a group of 50 or less) up to $12.50 an hour (for a group of 201 to 250). Tigard residents and businesses are charged $6.00 to $25.00 an hour. Non-residents are charged $8.00 to $50.00 an hour. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS System Development Charges System Development Charges (SDC's) are fees paid by new development to cover a portion of the costs of capital facilities needed to serve new development.The ` City collects parks SDC's for all new residential development and places these revenues in the Parks SDC fund. Current rates are: $1050 per single-family unit; • $ 660 per multi-family unit; • $ 540 per apartment; and • $ 740 per mobile home. The City also imposes a non-residential SDC of$49 per employee. The City Council adopts by resolution the Systems Development Charge Funds Project Plan,which lists the capital improvements that may be funded with improve- ` ment fee revenues and lists the estimated cost and time of construction of each im- provement. Other Funding While the City has been successful in securing small grants,these funds are generally sufficient only to augment other funding or to fund specific items within larger projects. MIG, INC. PAGE 29 CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CHAPTER FOUR: COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT MIG, Inc. facilitated a workshop in February 1998 to ask Tigard residents to express their ideas and opinions of the parks and recreation system in their community. Participants presented their views on the benefits of parks and recreation, needed improvements, recreation programs, and the future parks system. Over the following months, four more sessions were held to bring together the Master Plan Task Force, the City of Tigard Planning Commission, community members of all ages, and other interested parties to develop a true consensus document. Scoping interviews were conducted, surveys were developed and distributed, and Tigard's youth were consulted in an effort to gain a well-rounded perspective. SCOPING INTERVIEWS Twelve Tigard residents and community leaders representing diverse commu- nity interests were interviewed between December 1997 and April 1998. Those interviewed were asked questions about the perceived needs of their community (and the surrounding urban service areas), what they thought could be accomplished through improvements to parks and recreation facilities, and what sorts of improvements were warranted toward that goal. Participating residents were also asked about the role of public involvement and participation. Almost all interviewed felt that issues related to rapid growth were of major importance—a sentiment frequently repeated throughout the public involvement process. Planning, maintaining, and expanding parks and recre- ation facilities were seen as a means of preserving and enhancing the quality of life in the face of rapid growth. Those interviewed also discussed specific needs relating to park and recreation facilities and services. Feedbackprovided in the scoping interviews was an 75%ofsurvey respon- and .�, P g dents indicated that they important part of the Master Plan development process.

PARK, RECREATION FACILITY & OPEN SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY A survey developed by MIG Inc., in conjunction with the Tigard Planning Department and City Manager's office, was mailed to a random sample of 7,000 Tigard households as an insert to the Cityscape Newsletter. The survey provided valuable community opinion data on many topics, including the level of use in individual parks, favorite park activities, and what improvements or additions the community would like to see in its park system. There are currently no recreation programs offered by the City of Tigard, and 75% of survey respondents indicated that they would like to see recreation programs implemented. The majority of survey respondents (60 to 80%) support funding a broad range of park improvements, recreation programs, and park maintenance through a property tax assessment. MIG, INC. PAGE 3 I PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD L L Additional key points raised by the survey findings include: • About 80% of Tigard residents use Cook Park either frequently or infre quently. �' • Summerlake Park is used by about 50% of residents. • Fanno Creek Park is used by about 30% or rr esidents. ■ Jack Park is used by about 5% of residents. ■ Tigard residents who do not use their local parks cited time constraints and not knowing. the location of facilities (25 50%) as the main reasons for their lack of patronage. ■ 77% of respondents favored trail-related activities (hiking, walking). (Note: this finding is consistent with state-wide and national trends.) • 45% indicated that they used picnic/barbecue facilities. • There was a generally positive response to the level of safety and mainte nance provided at City park facilities. • Desired facility improvements include: linked, continuous walking/running trails, ball fields, picnic areas, children's play areas, a swimming pool, and an off leash dog area. • Top planning priorities for the next five years are neighborhood parks (26%), indoor facilities (23%), and the acquisition and protection of natural areas and stream corridors (I8%). • Highest priority recreation facility improvements include: walking/running trails (23%), children's play areas (1 S%), and a swimming pool (16%). ` - -.

PAGE 32 MIG, INC. CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN 1 YOUTH INVOLVEMENT The Youth Involvement piece of the Tigard Parks and Recreation Master Plan was developed with the goal of learning the views of Tigard's "next generation." El- ementary school students, middle school students, high school students, and three teachers responded to questions, participated in discussions, drew pictures,and wrote comments. All groups of students said that they would like to have a recreation program that made sports activities available to them. Ball fields and courts,trails and paths, play areas,and natural features were all elements that participating youth value highly. Elementary students expressed a great deal of interest in swimming and other aquatic activities.There was also a significant amount of encouragement on the part of all age ., groups to improve trails and paths and to improve park maintenance and upkeep. For a complete review of the youth involvement process and detailed findings, please refer to City of Tigard Park System Master Plan Youth Involvement Summary (MIG, Inc., 1998). Community members ex- pressed an interest in in- creased community partici- 1 SUMMARY potion in park planning and design. ` The contributions made by residents were important in developing a vision for the future of the Tigard Park System, and in identifying future park and recreation needs and priority improvements. During this process, community members said they believe that parks and recreation should help foster child and youth development, provide relief from urban development, meet the needs of residents of all ages through accessible facilities and opportunities, provide access to the natural environment, and build a sense of community.They expressed an interest in increased community participation in park planning and design. 1 1 MIG, INC.

They foster healthy, active lifestyles, strengthen a sense of community, protect the environment, contribute to a healthy economy, and help mitigate the effects of growth. To address key issues facing the City of Tigard—the issues of dense develop- Parks, recreation facilities, ment, decreasing availability of land, scarce financial resources, and increasing need for trails and open space are essential elements in park and recreation facilities—a guiding vision is needed. enhancing the quality of The vision is one of building connections. In this vision, the school district and life in Tigard. City pool resources to build a new school, community park, and community center. The City purchases land adjacent to school district property fora neighborhood park that the school can also use. The business community supports the development of a new park that will benefit its employees. Multi-use trails and bridges are constructed to connect parts of the city now separated by highways so that adults and children can walk or ride their bicycles safely from home to the park, and from the park to school or work.Through a coalition of Tualatin River cities, a connected network of trails and bridges is constructed so people are able to bicycle or walk along river greenways as easily as boaters navigate the river. Through building connections,the City of Tigard will provide a park system that: • Contributes to overall community livability and pride; • Balances the impacts of growth and increasing density with parks and greenspaces; Reduces auto-dependency and enhances recreation opportunities by connecting recreation resources, community destinations, and neighbor- - hoods with trails and greenways; Fosters stewardship of natural resources such as floodplains and waterways; Provides equitable distribution of parks and recreation opportunities throughout the City; • Provides safe and well-maintained parks and recreation facilities; and • Provides for effective and economically sound management of public resources. MIG, INC. PAGE 35 CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CHAPTER SIX: RECOMMENDATIONS This portion of the Master Plan presents recommendations for implementing the vision for a future parks, recreation and open space system. Recommendations address the following areas: • Park Facilities; • Management; ■ Maintenance; and • Recreation Programs. For each of these areas the following information is provided: ■ An issue statement; ■ Primary benefits associated with providing the facility or service; ■ A brief description of the proposed recommendations; • Suggested benchmarks by which to measure progress; and • An action plan with recommended priority rankings. Detailed recommendations for park facilities, maintenance, management, and recreation programs are included as tables in each section of this chapter. PARK FACILITIES It will not be possible to meet the community's ISSUE STATEMENT need for park facilities solely through land Tigard is struggling to maintain its quality of life as the city and the area around it acquisition. continues to become more densely populated. Vacant land is scarce, and the city is bisected in many places by heavily traveled four-lane roads. It will not be possible to meet the community's need for park facilities solely through land acquisition. Emphasis should be placed on alternate methods such as: developing joint use agreements to develop park facilities on existing publicly-owned land; developing safe and convenient on-street and off-street pedestrian/bicycle travel routes from neighborhoods and schools to parks; and cooperating with other Tualatin River communities to develop connec- tions that expand the recreation opportunities for all area residents. Existing parks should be expanded and renovated and, where possible, land should be acquired and new parks developed. These recreation resources should be equitably distributed throughout the community to provide access to all residents. BENEFITS Parks, recreation facilities, and open spaces provide many important benefits to a community. The benefits include: • Foster child and youth development; ■ Provide parks and open space as relief from urban development; ■ Meet the recreation needs of residents of all ages through accessible facilities and opportunities; ■ Provide access to the natural environment; and ■ Build a sense of community.

PAGE 38 MIG, INC. CITY OF TIGARD PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN BENCHMARKS Percent of residents who live within a %z-mile radius of a neighborhood or community park; Number of total acres of park land per 1000 population; • Number of miles of multi-purpose trail; • Percent of residents who live within a mile of a multi-purpose trail; ▪ Number of multi-purpose trail users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and wheelchair users. PLANNING AREA ANALYSIS The findings of the Parks System Resource Inventory & Analysis combined with the results of the community involvement process indicate that new neighborhood and community parks, additional open space and trails, and new recreation facilities will be necessary to meet Tigard residents' needs as the population grows. To evaluate areas of greatest need,the city was divided into planning quadrants: Central, East, South, and West. Planning area boundaries are illustrated on Figure 2. Underserved neighborhoods have been identified in each of these districts.An underserved neighborhood is defined as: • A neighborhood in which residents are not within % mile of either a neighborhood or a community park; or N A neighborhood where residents are separated from park facilities by an arterial, a major collector, or railroad tracks. Twenty-four underserved neighborhoods throughout the four planning quad- ` rants are identified. These areas are shown in Figure 2. Through a series of meetings with the Master Plan Task Force, Planning Commission, community members, and City of Tigard staff,facility improvements were recommended to address all underserved neighborhoods.

MIG, INC. PAGE 53 PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD RECREATION PROGRAMS ISSUE STATEMENT Tigard area residents have limited opportunities to participate in recreation programs. Of those who participated in the public involvement program, most would like to have recreation programs and services more readily available to them. The City Tigard area residents of Tigard should establish an organizational structure to deliver recreation programs and would like to have services to residents of Tigard and the Urban Services Area. recreation programs and services more readily available to them, BENEFITS Good recreation programs provide accessible, diverse activities, both pro- grammed and unprogrammed, for people of all ages and abilities. Benefits accrue for both the individual and the entire community: ■ Provides positive activities for youth; • Builds a sense of community; • Enhances appreciation for the environment; ■ Contributes to strong families; and ■ Encourages tolerance and respect for people with different abilities and backgrounds. RECOMMENDATIONS • Develop an organizational structure to deliver recreation services to residents of Tigard and the Urban Services Area, MAINTENANCE ISSUE STATEMENT As the parks, recreation, and open space system expands, maintenance respon- sibilities increase. Maintenance staff does an excellent job of utilizing resources and volunteers. As new park facilities are developed, funding for maintenance must also be increased. Maintenance management systems should be implemented to improve efficiency in the 2 I st century. BENEFITS • Contributes to efficient use of resources (staff, land, and dollars); ■ Builds support for park facilities; ■ Increases community ownership and participation; and ■ Enhances public safety. RECOMMENDATIONS ■ Develop a maintenance management plan for each park and greenway,; • Increase maintenance staff as facility acreage increases; and • Continue and expand upon the successful utilization of volunteer labor.

This chapter identifies capital improvement and maintenance funds To successfully implement needed to realize Tigard's vision for the future. the Master Plan recom- mendations, an adequate budget is needed. PARK FACILITY FUNDING PLAN To accommodate future growth, a Park Facility Funding Plan has been Bevel- - oped that addresses acquisition, development, and renovation of the following: ■ Pocket Parks; ■ Neighborhood Parks; • Community Parks; ■ Linear Parks/Trails; and • Greenspace/Greenways The funding plan addresses fiscal years 1999-2000 through 2008-2009. The funding plan for priority land acquisition and facility improvements is provided in Table 1 I. This table corresponds to the Park Facility Action Plan presented in Tables 5 through 9. Improvements are organized into the following categories: • Parks; • General. Table I I includes: ■ Planning Area: This column indicates the planning area where each facility improvement is located. Improvements have been listed in the following order: Central, East, South, West, and General. Planning area boundaries are indicated in Figure 2. • Facility: This column lists Master Plan recommendations for facility im- - provements. • Total Estimated Cost: This column represents the total estimated cost for acquisition, development, and/or renovation of each facility. • $15,000 per acre floodplain acquisition cost; • $150,000 per acre buildable residential land acquisition cost; • $300,000 per acre buildable commercial land acquisition cost; • $80,000 per acre for park development or redevelopment cost; • $350,000 per mile ($70 per lineal foot) for development of paved trail with landscaped corridor; • $100,000 per mile for development of open space soft surface trail; • $150,000 per playground renovation; • Proposed Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan: Proposed budgets to implement the priority improvements are shown in the next ten columns. MIG, INC. PAGE 57 PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD The Capital Improvement Plan recognizes the need for flexibility in making modifications to the ten-year plan with regard to potential land acquisitions, as the need arises. Land acquisition opportunities may present themselves prior to their identification — in the CIP. Flexibility is needed to ensure that if properties considered critical to the park system come on the market, the City has the ability to evaluate the situation and move in a timely manner, if appropriate. In order to maximize City park improvement dollars, the same flexibility is needed with regard to potential grant funding and partnership ..- opportunities, which may not follow the timeline or be identified in the plan.

Maintenance staff and material costs were calculated for the following areas: • Pocket Parks; • Neighborhood Parks; • Community Parks; • Linear Parks; • Trails; and • Greenspace/Greenways. The following maintenance costs per acre are based on the average mainte- nance costs of similarly sized cities in Oregon, and were used to project future mainte- nance costs: • $3,000 per acre for pocket parks and neighborhood parks; • $3,500 per acre for community parks; • $2,500 per acre for linear parks; • $3,500 per mile for trails; • $1,500 per acre for greenways/greenspaces; • $2,000 per acre for reservoirs; and • $12,200 per acre for City Hall Table 12 shows how maintenance costs can be expected to grow based upon the I 0-year Capital Improvement Plan (Table I 1). It also shows the impact of adding Tigard-Tualatin School District properties to the acreage maintained by the Parks/ Grounds Division, a move that is being discussed by the City of Tigard and the Tigard- - Tualatin School District.

Assuming a $150,000 home, the tax rate producing $100 of tax would be $,66/1000. Based on projections for numbers of households in Tigard over the next ten years, it appears that approximately $1.7 million could be realized during the year 2000, increasing to $2. I million in 2008, The ten-year Capital Improvement Plan totaling $21.7 million was designed not to exceed the sum of anticipated revenues from System Development Charges plus the additional taxes citizens would likely be willing to pay for improvements to their park system. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES Under the parks SDC fee schedule now being considered, $540,000 in revenue is projected for the coming fiscal year. This includes $92,000 that the City of Tigard will collect from development in the Urban Services Area contingent upon adoption of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Washington County. The proposed SDC fee schedule, scheduled for adoption in 1999, includes an automatic escalator tied to changes in land values and the Oregon Department of Transportation construction cost index. It is anticipated that approximately $5.0 million will be raised through SDC fees to help fund the proposed Capital Improvement Plan. The proposed IGA with Washington County, which will allow the City of Tigard to levy a park SDC on new development in the Urban Services Area, will not affect other taxing structures. In other words, although the City of Tigard may develop parks in the Urban Services Area and collect SDCs to offset the cost of developing new parks, there will be no additional funds available to maintain those same parks. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS General obligation bonds are debt instruments sold by the City to fund capital improvements. The bonds are repaid with property tax revenues. The use of General Obligation Bonds could support rapid and dramatic improvement of the park system. The use of General Funds could be available within the first year to begin acquiring land and building projects Obligation Bonds could supporshown as years away on the proposed Capital Improvement Plan. Repayment would dramatici avd improvement of occur over time, so citizens would be taxed on the principal and interest over the life of the park system the debt. A ten-year bond issue sufficient to fund $16.7 million of capital improvements would cost taxpayers $.70/1000 in the first year. Although General Obligation Bonds do not fall within the property tax limita- tions imposed by Measures 5 and 50, they must be approved by voters during a general election in an even-numbered year or by 50% of registered voters in any other elec- tion. MIG, INC. PAGE 65 • PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN CITY OF TIGARD Because of the "super majority" requirement for passing general obligation bond measures in odd-numbered year elections, the next viable opportunity to present this measure to voters will be the general election in 2000. LOCAL OPTION LEVY Under a Local Option Levy, voters agree to pay additional property taxes over a specific time period to fund capital projects. Revenue generated each year is used to fund scheduled projects. The disadvantages of funding capital improvements through a local option levy include the potential for inflation, and the loss of efficiency and cost-effective- ness that could result from dividing capital projects into multiple phases. Now New During the first year, the cost per thousand dollars for a ten-year levy of $1,670,000 would be $.55. This translates to a tax of $82.50 on a $150,000 home in the first year. Local option levies are also subject to the "super majority" requirement. GENERAL FUND REVENUES General fund revenues are, for the most part, generated through property taxes. These funds have not traditionally been used for the acquisition of park land or development of parks. USER FEES AND RENTS The fees charged by the City of Tigard for use of sports fields are low compared to those charged by cities of comparable size. The City could reasonably charge as much as $75 per day for use of the sports fields. It would also seem that Tigard-based non- profit youth athletic organizations should not be given preferential rates over other Tigard-based non-profit organizations. Group site rental rates are also on the low side. Cities of comparable size charge from $30 to $45 per shelter during the week, and $38 to $115 per shelter Friday through Sunday. The City of Tigard could also reasonably raise its rates while maintaining the graduated fee schedule for number of participants. OTHER Funds raised through grants from government agencies or private foundations would make it possible to accelerate the schedule of capital improvements as well as including additional recommended projects.
