Hearing Procedures—Mayor Snider announced that anyone may testify by phone and may call in to get the queue now by calling 503-966-4101. C. Staff Report-Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly presented the staff report along with the city's urban renewal advisor Elaine Howard. He briefly recapped the City Center Urban Renewal Plan (CCURP) approved by the voters in 2006.Tigard voters must approve urban renewal plans and any substantial amendments. The existing maximum indebtedness is $22 million, over 20 years and after 2026, future debt cannot be incurred. A substantial amendment was approved in 2017 which added acreage to the CCURP, but no changes were made to the plan duration or maximum indebtedness. He reminded those present that urban renewal is not a new tax but is a reallocation of existing tax revenue. Ms. Howard presented slides explaining how urban renewal works. She noted two timelines for the proposed nine-year addition in duration. One is when the area will quit taking taxes and that will be at the end of fiscal year 2049 and the other is the last year to issue debt,which would be 2035. The$20.8 million increase will equal a total of maximum indebtedness of$42.8 million and would provide funding to complete new urban renewal projects. Mr. Farrelly gave an overview of Tigard City Center accomplishments including over$48.8 million in private investment and new construction.Assessed value increase,matching grants and 234 new multi-family housing units. He showed slides of street and streetscape TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES— February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 11 projects,mixed use redevelopment,public spaces and:catching grant program improvements which have made a significant difference in improving the outside appearance of several businesses in the downtown area.Active projects include the Main Street at Fanno Creek development,Universal Plaza, a signature public space downtown that will be constructed in early 2022. There are projects that need to be done to fulfill the vision.The plan amendment is needed to fund new urban renewal projects including: • Downtown Connectivity Plan • Tigard Heritage Trail Continuation from Main Street to Hall Boulevard • Fanno Creek Trail Improvements • Universal Plaza Phase 2 Shade Structure and Community Room • Parking Facility • Affordable Housing and Mixed-use Development Assistance • Pedestrian Safety and Streetscape Improvements Public Comment on the proposed amendment included approval by the Town Center Advisory Commission and a December 15 recommendation by the Town Center Development Agency was the official start of the public review timeline.All taxing jurisdictions were notified by mail and presentations were given to the Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD),Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, (TVF&R)Washington County and the Tigard-Tualatin Aquatic District (TTAD).A Planning Commission hearing was held in January and they found unanimously that this plan amendment was consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends Council approve the ordinance adopting the plan amendment and that staff be directed to prepare a ballot title for TCDA Board action on February 23, 2021 for the May 18,2021 election. Councilor Newton asked about the responses from the other agencies after the presentations. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said the TTSD concurred last night. TVF&R concurred two weeks ago.Washington County concurred two weeks ago but needed to make a slight change to their resolution so it will be on their consent agenda next week. In response to a question from Councilor Newton about a communication plan,Mr. Faxtelly said a discussion with Council is planned for next week and the public communications plan will be shared. A lot of outreach is planned;flyers have already been sent out to every-registered voter in Tigard. FAQ sheets have been prepared and staff is going to create some videos.

TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 4 of 11 1. Erin August did not support the amendment for the urban renewal area and prefers older historic buildings be kept rather than putting in new buildings that are not cool. 2. Karin Kelsey asked how this plan is affected by light rail. 3. Carine Arendes wrote in support of the amendment. 4. Ryan Ruggiero wrote in support of the amendment. 5. Harold Warner asked that it not be passed, and that the city spend the money that would have been spent on urban renewal on other things. Mayor Snider pointed out to the public that this was not legal and while he appreciated the suggestion,it would be against Oregon law. Mayor Snider asked IT Manager Nolop to connect any callers in the queue to testify on this item. Caller No. 1: Ryan Ruggiero, current Chair of the Town Center Advisory Commission, spoke on behalf of the TCAC. He listed improvements which would not have happened without the urban renewal district and$48 million of private investment in the downtown. The investments are readily apparent to anyone spending time downtown. It is more vibrant and walkable with better sidewalks, streets, and stormwater treatment for Fanno Creek. There is a vibrant Farmers Market,Rotary Plaza and Heritage Trail and this year's Christmas lights. More is on the way including the Universal Plaza and improved trail system bringing more people, more life,and more energy to the downtown. He said, "It is a "fun place to be,but we're not done." Old and new can both be cool. The pandemic has proven challenging, but with the pre-pandemic strength and resilience of downtown businesses and the continued support of the city and the people of Tigard, the downtown will weather the pandemic. He said lessons have been learned and we are smarter and more nimble and at least as ambitious as we were when this started.Let's invest more for a better downtown and a better Tigard. He said this is not a new tax in any shape or form. This substantial amendment will only reallocate existing tax revenue towards downtown. The TCAC urges Council support the substantial amendment for downtown Tigard. Caller No. 2: Carine Arendes said she served on the advisory commission for six years, three of those as Chair,and is a practicing land use planner for another jurisdiction. She said staff and commissioners have long recognized that existing limits in the current plan would need to be updated to continue to meet the city's goals for urban renewal. Due to the Great Recession, funding was slow to accumulate and therefore projects were limited in size and impact. The district gained momentum through projects such as Atwell on Main and the Tigard Heritage Trail. Today on Main Street there are new places to shop such as Jeffrey Allen Gallery and Vintage Curiosities, and to play, such as the Paddle Palace, Stumptown Escape and Versus Board Games.There has been a revival of food and drink establishments including Max's, Baileys,Beach Hut Deli,Symposium,Senet Game Bar,Tigard Tap House, etc. She said keeping momentum going requires a commitment to continue the work beyond 2025 and re- consideration of projects identified years ago. The TCAC has worked with staff to identify crucial new capital projects that are needed in the district such as new streets, sidewalks, and trail improvements as well as projects that will make it welcoming to everyone such as a parking facility,affordable housing, and our own downtown public plaza. If Tigard wants to continue to invest in a downtown that will serve the needs of our city and our residents, the time to act is now. She urged Council to adopt the substantial amendment to continue the work to build a downtown that is walkable and accessible, that provides places to work,play and recreate and welcomes everyone, regardless of age or ability,background or heritage or income, and is a place anyone can call home. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES— February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of 11 Caller No. 3: Michael Antonelli,Tigard citizen. Mr. Antonelli said he was a little concerned because the city promotes the Urban Renewal Program as not increasing taxes. He asked what would happen if the city comes up short of revenue for other programs, such as police.The Urban Renewal District is a great idea,but to promote it as something that will not increase taxes is a shell game. He's heard it called reallocating taxes,but it could create other issues down the road. He remembered similar urban renewal arguments being made and then a few years after that there were pushes to increase tax revenue. A bond did not pass recently,but then a smaller police levy passed later. He said if the city was selling this as something that would not increase taxes, he would like a commitment that if it passes, the city won't come back two years later and ask for increased taxes for a certain purpose. Mayor Snider asked staff to respond to the question and say how much in taxes would be redirected instead of going into the City of Tigard. He said that the end of the urban renewal district,if you've done a good job,you have far more built and more tax revenue than you would have had if you didn't have tax increment financing. E. Response to testimony by staff. Referring to Mr.Antonelli's comment,Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said the amount the city would forego is $6.4 million between 2036 and 2049. Already approved with the current plan is $4.6 million. He said there will be higher values going to those jurisdictions including the city. He responded to the comment about higher taxes and said even if there was no urban renewal right now,taxes would be at the same level. Mayor Snider said what the caller's point was what the impact would be on the General Fund. He asked Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance to comment, and Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said this was part of the next agenda item. Mayor Snider asked Council for their comments or questions.Youth Councilor Calderon said he agreed with the staff presentation and appreciated the graph and description by Ms. Howard reminding him of how urban renewal works. Councilor Goodhouse said urban renewal is usually done in a blighted area and even though you forego taxes, the area will get stimulation and growth that it wouldn't have otherwise. He said he was in favor of moving forward. Council President Lueb commented that she has not been a Tigard resident as long as some in the community,but even in the short period,urban renewal has made such a difference in downtown Tigard and it is in the community's best interest to continue to move forward and support this. Councilor Newton noted that she began her employment with the city in 1980. The downtown has come a long way and although there were some false starts in the 1990s, changes made in 2005 jumpstarted that progress. She commented on the synergy created between the older businesses taking advantage of the fagade improvement program, the investment of new businesses,new events, and the success of the downtown association. She supports moving forward with the amendment. F. Mayor Snider closed the public hearing. G. Council consideration of Ordinance No. 21- 04. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 6 of 11 Councilor Newton moved to approve Ordinance No.21-04. Councilor Goodhouse seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the ordinance and conducted a roll call vote. Ordinance No. 21-04—AN ORDINANCE MAKING CERTAIN DETERMINATIONS AND FINDINGS RELATING TO AND APPROVING THE TIGARD CITY CENTER URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND DIRECTING THAT NOTICE OF APPROVAL BE PUBLISHED Yes No Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Councilor Newton ✓ Council President Lueb ✓ Councilor Shaw ✓ Mayor Snider ✓ Mayor Snider announced that Ordinance No. 21-04 was adopted unanimously. 5. CONCURRENCE WITH MAXIMUM INDEBTEDNESS INCREASE FOR THE TIGARD CITY CENTER URBAN RENEWAL PLAN Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly gave the staff report with a slide presentation. He said the Council is being asked to concur with the increase in the maximum indebtedness. This is a step required by ORS 457.220 and ORS 457.470 when the maximum indebtedness increases by 25 percent.This level of increase must be approved by resolution of the governing bodies of the taxing districts levying 75% of the permanent rate taxes in the URA.This includes Tualatin Valley Fire&Rescue,Tigard-Tualatin School District,Washington County and the City of Tigard. TVF&R passed a resolution on January 26 and TTSD approved it last night.Washington County approved wo weeks ago and needed to do a revised resolution to be approved next week. Mr. Farrelly showed a slide of the tax impacts to the City of Tigard general fund. By the end of 2036 which would be the current plan's expiration,it would be$4.6 million. The amendment would extend that TIF collection to 2049 which would be$6.2 million for an average annual impact to the general fund of$500,000. Mayor Snider noted that this was the answer to earlier caller Michael Antonelli's question. Mr. Farrelly said the impact needs to be balanced against the future incremental tax. When the district is ended, these investments will result in a lot more private investment,increased property values and more revenue flowing back to the taxing districts. Mayor Snider wanted to make sure that the ballot language is modeled after the language Council prepared for the Tigard Triangle urban renewal measure. Councilor Newton suggested Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance and Urban Renewal Advisor Howard write an explanation of the effect on the general fund for the city's website. Council Discussion and Consideration: Resolution No. 21 -04 TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 11 Councilor Goodhouse moved for approval of Resolution No. 21-04. Councilor Shaw seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the resolution. Resolution No. 21-04—A RESOLUTION CONCURRING WITH THE MAXIMUM INDEBTEDNESS INCREASE FOR THE TIGARD CITY CENTER URBAN RENEWAL PLAN Yes No Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Councilor Newton ✓ Council President Lueb ✓ Councilor Shaw ✓ Mayor Snider ✓ Mayor Snider announced that Resolution No. 21-04 was adopted unanimously. 6. PUBLIC HEARING (LOCAL CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD): CONSIDER REVISIONS TO THE CITY'S PUBLIC CONTACTING RULES A. Mayor Snider opened the public hearing. B. Hearing Procedures—Mayor Snider announced that anyone may testify by phone and may call in to get the queue now by calling 503-966-4101. C. Contracts and Purchasing Manager Moody gave the staff report with a slide presentation. She said staff is recommending revisions to the city's Public Contracting Rules so the city and the Town Center Development Agency may streamline execution of public contracts and comply with Oregon Revised Statutes Chapters 279A, 279B and 279C. Six Class Special Procurement/Exemptions are being suggested with this update of the procedures: USPS postal services,legal services,performance art and artwork, conference registration, contracts associated with grant agreements, and contracts for which a long- term relationship is necessary. Examples were given such as the impracticality of changing the procurement card provider and online banking and approval software in the middle of the Total Tyler software implementation because the City of Portland consortium that Tigard, along with other jurisdictions uses,was changing in December 2021. This would create a hardship for finance staff as they would need to be training on a new system at the same time they are heavily involved in training in the Total Tyler Financial software. Another example given was that the city's Audit services contract will expire in 2021 and there is a similar concern with potentially switching audit contractors in the middle of Tyler Training, as the first year with a new audit contractor typically takes greater work as the new firm learns the city's systems and practices. Financial Operations needs the consistency of a firm that knows what the city does in the current Springbrook financial system to help compare and ensure that controls are as good or better in the new Tyler Munis System. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 11 Council President Lueb stated that many of the exemptions made sense, but she had concerns about the potential for city employees to dictate whether to go out and hire a new auditor. She said continuity is good but so is having a new auditor every so often to put fresh eyes on the city finances,and as a tax-paying citizen she wants that independence between the city and the auditor. D. Public Testimony—No written or phone-in testimony was received. E. Response to testimony by staff—None F. Mayor Snider closed the public hearing. G. Council consideration of Resolution No. 21-05. Council President Lueb said she still struggled with having the audit services as part of the exemption, especially because there is an Audit Committee. Ms. Moody said the idea was just to delay it due to timing,rather than not do an RFP. Assistant Finance Director Isaksen said he appreciated Council President Lueb's concerns and that having an independent auditing firm is very important,but even if Council approves this resolution,he will still need to pass this through the Audit Committee. Finance Director La France noted there are two separate processes. The resolution establishing the Audit Committee authorizes them to be key participants in hiring the auditors and this resolution allows a delay in hiring contractors due for certain circumstances. Mayor Snider asked if he would object to having this clarified within the purchasing rules to avoid misinterpretation in the future. Finance Director LaFtance said they will make that happen. Councilor Goodhouse moved to approve Resolution No. 21-05. Councilor Shaw seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the resolution and conducted a roll call vote.The motion passed unanimously. Resolution No. 21-05—A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY OF TIGARD PUBLIC CONTRACTING RULES, Yes No Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Councilor Newton ✓ Council President Lueb ✓ Councilor Shaw ✓ Mayor Snider ✓ TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — February 9, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 9 of 11 In response to a process question from Mayor Snider, City Attorney Rihala said she preferred delegating to staff to prepare language and adopt it but if Council wants to see it again, staff could bring it back. Mayor Snider said staff could make the clarification. She advised that council vote again on the resolution,adding the words to the motion, "as amended." Mayor Snider asked for a new motion for approving Resolution 21-05,as amended Council President Lueb moved for approval of Resolution 21-05,as amended, and Councilor Shaw seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the resolution. Resolution No. 21-05—A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY OF TIGARD PUBLIC CONTRACTING RULES, as amended Yes No Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Councilor Newton ✓ Council President Lueb ✓ Councilor Shaw ✓ Mayor Snider ✓ 7. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION WAIVING BUSINESS LICENSE LATE FEES Finance and Information Services Director LaFrance presented the staff report. He said Confidential Executive Assistant Liz Lutz administers the business license program and mentioned how it would be consistent with other programs to waive late fees for business licenses during the pandemic. Staff investigated the impact this would have on revenue.Any person doing commerce in the city has to have a business license,per Tigard Municipal Code 5.04. Most of the business license revenues go towards the Commercial Crimes Unit. Tigard has about 3,000 businesses and in a normal year sends out 500 late fee notices,which is 10 percent. This year,we will be sending out 900 notices and most are for smaller businesses. Mr.LaFrance said a waiver would result in a loss of approximately$16,000,which is about 2 percent of the revenue for FY 2021. Instead of sending out late fee notices, staff would send out reminders of the obligation to pay but the reminder would not include a late fee assessment and an insert could be added about Council taking action to waive late fees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Snider appreciated staff being proactive and bringing this forward. Councilor Shaw had a question on the effective date,and it was clarified that the late fee waiver was effective January 1 through December 2021. Councilor Shaw moved to approve Resolution number 21-06. Council President Lueb seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager read the number and title of the resolution and conducted a roll call vote.

CONSIDER PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT 8686 SW OAK STREET AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION Principal Engineer Newbury presented the staff report. He said purchase of this property has been a high priority in the Storm Water Master Plan.There is a home on the property which sits near Ash Creek and was built in the 1970s,before there were setback requirements. Now,it would not have been allowed to be built so close to the creek.There continue to be issues with Ash Creek flooding and stream erosion has come dangerously close to the foundation. The homeowner no longer lives at the property and contacted the city last summer to state she wants to sell it. The city had an appraisal done which came in at$280,000 and the owner will sell for that amount. A Phase 1 environmental assessment was performed. No known contaminants or other items of concern came up during the assessment. If the purchase is authorized the city would demolish the home and complete some floodplain restoration to enlarge it and add more storm water storage. Benefitsinclude less flooding and downstream erosion in the area and there would be no more danger of construction failure in the home because it will be removed. Councilor Lueb moved to purchase the property at 8686 SW Oak Street and Authorize the City Manager to complete the transaction. Councilor Shaw seconded the motion. City Recorder Krager conducted a roll call vote. Mayor Snider announced that the motion passed unanimously. Yes No Councilor Goodhouse ✓ Councilor Newton ✓ Council President Lueb ✓ Councilor Shaw ✓ Mayor Snider ✓ 9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS—None. 10.

There will be additional access to restaurants, etc.,but he encouraged the community to be diligent by wearing masks and social distancing.
