City Council Minutes - 05/25/2021 " City of Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes TIGAR ' May 25, 2021 STUDY SESSION At 6:30 p.m. Mayor Snider called the Tigard City Council Study Session to order A. Discuss Solid Waste Management Service Level Changes Present: Mayor Snider, Council President Lueb, Councilor Shaw, Councilor Newton,Public Works Director Rager,Utility Executive Manager Goodrich, City Manager Rymer,Assistant City Manager Nyland,Kristin Leichner from Pride Disposal,Dean Kampfer from Waste Management Utility Executive Manager Goodrich led this discussion. He introduced Chris Bell from Bell Associates, the city's financial consultant for solid waste. Representatives from the local waste haulers were invited to participate in case there are questions.The slide show is in the packet for this meeting. Utility Executive Manager Goodrich said the city received customer inquiries about increasing the yard debris recycling service level. The current service level is every other week and customers wanted to double up on the amount of materials.There is also interest in the ability to compost food scraps.The city provided responses to those customers but also initiated an Engage Tigard webpage survey.There were 316 respondents and the results of the survey were: 69%would like the convenience of weekly yard debris pick up 64%would be willing to pay approximately$2-$3 more monthly for this service 69%would support composting collection if it was included in yard debris pickup 63%would support composting service if it was included in the higher fees for weekly yard debris pick up Comments included concerns about increased truck traffic during winter when the yard recycling totes remain empty.They asked about leaf collection services at the street level during fall months in place of increasing this service level. This is an issue for haulers because labor and equipment fixed costs need to be spread out over a 12-month period. Most positive comments reflected the desire to compost using their yard recycle totes. 18 customers said not to change a thing, they are happy with current service levels. Based on the survey results staff decided to move forward with a cost-of-service analysis. Chris Bell of Bell and Associates gave a presentation on yard recycling service alternatives: • Weekly yard debris TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 of 13 • Weekly yard debris plus residential organics • Weekly yard debris plus residential organics and every other week (EOW) recycling collection • EOW recycling and glass collection. Mr. Bell said yard debris diverts 24%of collected tons from City of Tigard customers. Costs last year were an anomaly because more people were home, but the average is 723 pounds of yard debris per customer per year. Cost effects for haulers and customers include: Alternative 1: Increase yard debris collection to weekly service Both haulers would need to purchase another truck (lead time is 6-12 months) If a decision is made in June for a January start date,new trucks could be in place by March 2022. Cost increase is $2.53 per customer per month Alternative 2: Increase residential organics collection Increased processing cost due to DEQ regulations Cost would be $100,900 for each hauler or .75 cents per customer per month The estimated increase of diverted food from Tigard would be 158 tons Rate would increase $3.28 per customer per month with the introduction of food waste. ($2.53 collection and .75 cents for additional processing) Alternative 3: Switch to weekly yard debris and EOW recycling Increase of$1.30 for yard debris collection. Adding organics to that would make it$2.05. ($1.30 for collection and .75 cents for additional processing) Metro would need to approve. But Sherwood, Hillsboro, and unincorporated Washington County are providing EOW collection of commingled recycling. Alternative 4: Increasinglg ass pickup from monthly to EOW .72 cents per customer per month. Councilor Newton asked if there was a survey question about glass pick up and Utility Executive Manager Goodrich said it came up as a question from the haulers. It might make sense to have glass be picked up on the same schedule as comingled recycling. Councilor Newton asked if there would be an option to downsize the bin when they don't need as much room. Mr. said the equipment is designed for the totes that are in use. Adding food scraps to the yard debris does not cause issues. Councilor Shaw asked about lead time for extra trucks and personnel and whether there were backup trucks so this could commence sooner. Would they consider using an electric garbage truck? Council President Lueb asked if there is an option for adding an additional yard debris tote. She asked how many residents take advantage of this during the summer and fall and then go back down during the winter. Mr. Goodrich said it was a 12-month commitment. Council TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 2 of 13 President Lueb gave a shout-out to Pride for changing out totes for new, clean ones each year. Mayor Snider asked how much it costs per month for someone to get a second yard debris tote. The answer is $4.48 per month. Kristin Leichner from Pride Disposal said less than 8 percent take advantage of the second yard debris cart. She responded to Councilor Shaw's question and said they do have spare trucks for phasing out but would keep them longer if this program goes into effect. She said they are in the process of converting their fleet to compressed natural gas and while they are interested in electric trucks, the technology is a few years away. There are some concerns about weight. They are also concerned about extra inventory for seasonal carts. Mayor Snider said he doesn't consider labor as a fixed cost and asked for Kristin Leichner's comment. She responded that they consider labor a fixed cost in terms of not laying people off during times when they don't need them because trained drivers with a commercial driver's license are hard to find. Inconsistencies in the collection process make it harder to keep trained staff. Dean Kampfer from Waste Management returned to the original theme regarding frequency of collection and suggested not giving up frequency of recycling as there is a much better environmental gain by diverting hard items vs. more yard debris. He responded to the comment on cart size and said yard debris carts are a standardized size. In response to Councilor Shaw's question on electric trucks he commented that they are cutting edge and coming in the future but are not perfected for the industry at this time. He added that the weight of a fully loaded truck is 50,000-60,000 pounds and turning fuel programs on and off does not work well for their business. He said Waste Management made a commitment to convert to renewable natural gas and in Portland and Washington County they have 150 trucks, the largest fleet in Oregon. He added that their trucks are not depreciated so it would be foolish to transition to other trucks at this time. Executive Utility Manager Goodrich said now that we have a cost-of-service analysis he suggests going back to the community to ask more pointed questions and if there is a desire to make changes. It would then come back to Council to see if there is support to make any type of change in the next 3-6 months. The next scheduled rate increase is programmed for January 2022. There is lead time and some flexibility such as starting every week yard debris and rolling out food waste later. Mayor Snider said getting 600 people engaging on this topic made him more confident in making decisions. Council suggested that the next survey not be too complicated; five questions would be good. Youth Councilor Calderon suggested using simple language and explaining that organics means food compost. Public Works Director Rager acknowledged John Goodrich on his retirement. This is his last action. He was hired in 2005 and within a short amount of time became a manager and a valued member of the organization. He managed the three utilities and could always be counted on to help. He worked with the water division to bring about best practices and helped with the TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 13 bond rating project. Mayor Snider said the community should know that one of the main reasons water coming from their tap is safe,is because of John. Councilor Newton recalled that around the time of consideration of the move to the Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership, every customer that wrote in got a personal email from him. He would evaluate their bill and make suggestions on how they could affect their cost, a great example of how to engage with the community when there is a difficult issue. Council President Lueb thanked him for his partnership and noted he explained to her how utilities work and showed her the water treatment facility to make sure she understood. Councilor Shaw said he did an excellent job bringing her up to speed as a new member of the Council. 1. BUSINESS MEETING A.

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. Senior Planner Warren gave the staff report on the Housing Needs Analysis (HNA),which was last done in 2013 as part of periodic review. The Housing Needs Analysis is an important part of the city's Comprehensive Plan. It is required by law and is the means by which the city demonstrates compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 10 and related statewide housing statutes. It provides a detailed look at the city's supply of buildable lands and its projected growth over the next 20 years. Any difference between those figures shows TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 6 of 13 the city where it has a projected surplus or deficit of those lands. A Housing Needs Analysis also looks at factors such as the supply of affordable housing, the balance of housing owned and rented, and the needs of the community based on an analysis and demographic surveys. The HNA provides the basis for policy changes. He added that any future expansions of the Urban Growth Boundary must be supported by an HNA completed within the last six years. He acknowledged a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) under the provisions of HB 2001 and 2003 to get this work completed. Senior Planner Warren introduced Melissa Mailloux of Mosaic Consulting. She presented a slide show that is included in the packet for this meeting. She said the crux of an HNA is looking at the existing housing in Tigard now,what will be needed in 20 years and what policies and procedures can be taken to ensure Tigard meets that need. Community engagement was a major part of the study. Ms. Mailloux said nearly 60% of housing in Tigard is single detached houses,multi-family units make up 25%,rowhouses or townhouses are 8%,which is common throughout the area. Cottage clusters, duplexes or quads are rare in Tigard. Both sales and rental markets are tight, and the median price is $400,000,which is higher than Washington County and the Metro area median price.Average rent was $1,300 per month and increased at a rate higher than inflation over the last five years.The supply is low and driving the rates up. Themes heard were the desire for affordable housing, a variety of types and less of a focus for larger single-family homes,but something that will work for a variety of household types. Other needs were for housing connected to resources and the walkability to access them, and that housing that is equitable. There is a preference for owning a home,which could be impacted by a lot of survey takers being homeowners but even among renters there was a desire to buy a home. Ms. Mailloux said what they heard from the community advisory group was that new construction is often 4-and 5-bedroom homes, but they want to see a mix of small homes built as well. They want to see new models such as community land trusts that will keep housing affordable permanently,greenspaces,walkability, and the opportunity for density in the downtown and Tigard Triangle.The biggest theme was they want to see the city live up to its equity goals and achieve housing for all. This won't happen naturally in the housing market; policies are needed to achieve this vision. Projections show a potential need for 7,400 new housing units in Tigard over the next 20 years. Considering land availability in the city and development density, there could be about 4200 units,leaving a 3200-unit gap that needs to be accommodated. Encouraging greater infill, focusing on middle housing types, and expanding the UGB are actions that would increase housing capacity. The second part of analysis was on policies. Interviews were conducted with developers, including middle and affordable housing developers. The city's development fee waivers received many positive responses. There is an opportunity to structure fees so they vary by TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 13 housing type and size, such as higher fees for a larger home than for a smaller unit. Another way to assist would be partnering with Washington County to encourage them to reduce their fees. Land availability is a crucial factor. It takes longer to put together financing for affordable housing and it is hard to jump on land as it becomes available. Land banking can hold property for future affordable housing. There could be incentives for building missing middle housing. They spoke to Habitat for Humanity and Proud Ground who collaborate on building missing middle housing types (duplexes, triplexes and quads) and sell to first time home buyers at affordable prices. Developers also said 3- or 4-story apartment buildings work better than other housing types for tax credit programs. Based on this input, several strategies were identified: Consider land banking,land trust models and targeting use of affordable housing funds in key redevelopment areas in the city. Develop lending programs to help get affordable and middle housing developments built (fill gaps). Portland had a contest for architects to design housing for tough to develop lots. The pre-permitted models save time and money by using those house plans. Make sure housing opportunities are affirmatively marketed through community organizations and in multiple languages. Ms. Mailloux said the changes in the Comprehensive Plan relate actions to these strategies The staff recommendation is to adopt the Housing Needs Analysis and Housing Market Analysis. Councilor Newton asked if potential increases in the number of units in Downtown and Triangle areas were factored into the analysis of available units. Ms. Mailloux said they did include a potential for residential in those areas based on the current zoning. Analysis is based on development trends over the past 6-7 years. If the city makes a concentrated effort to have more density in those areas,it could alleviate some of that need. D. Public Testimony—Written Testimony: Senior Planner Warren summarized the written public comment received. Non-profit group Housing Land Advocates (HLA) asked for more depth with findings related to Statewide Planning Goal 10. Staff did that and they provided testimony commending the change and support of housing needs. Phone-in Testimony: None E. Response to testimony by staff. None. F. Mayor Snider closed the public hearing. G. Council consideration of Ordinance No. 21-11. o Councilor Lueb said she found the amendments and information interesting about things going on in the community and one thing that stood out was that 9% of Tigard residents live under the poverty level. And the poverty rate is higher among females and those between the ages of 18-34. The pandemic has made a huge TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 13 impact. There is a division between those who can afford larger homes and those just wanting to start out. She said she didn't know how people can afford a home without generational wealth and that it is not feasible in Tigard now. She is concerned for people Youth Councilor Calderon's age being able to purchase a home in Tigard. She added that this is important work the city is doing. o Councilor Newton commented that she lives in a modest neighborhood,but someone there recently sold a house in two days for $70,000 over the asking price. She advocated focusing our limited resources on programs aimed at 60 percent of median income (not 80 percent) and missing middle housing. o Councilor Shaw said the plan was comprehensive and addresses the needs in all elements and sends a strong signal to developers. It also sends the message that in about 2040,Tigard's population could be 65,000 by her calculation. We need to address this now. o Youth Councilor Calderon said he is worried about how to build wealth to hopefully buy a home. Some houses being built are very large.When he walks around looking at houses for sale, he likes to guess the price and it seems like they continue to rise. He said it was comforting to hear that Tigard is working to make home ownership more affordable. o Mayor Snider commented on county taxes and fees and asked staff if there was any further discussion or action with Washington County on doing similar things as Tigard has been doing for affordable housing. Senior Planner Warren said he knows through his participation with the Coalition of Housing Advocates and being in touch with staff from other cities as well as developers that there is a desire to see action taken on that front. It has not been a priority in the past as part of the county's work program. Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District recently lowered their fees to be tiered to reduce them for smaller houses or affordable housing. Mayor Snider committed to continue bringing this up with county officials. o Councilor Newton referred to the memo on amended findings received as an amendment to the ordinance and asked if it was typical to include examples of key findings. City Attorney Rihala deferred to Senior Planner Warren as he wrote the findings. He said it was one of the requests made by HLA and the Fair Housing Council of Oregon based on actions taken by other cities in adopting their housing needs analyses. He agreed that it was not typical but did not think it ran afoul of anything. City Attorney Rihala concurred.

He reconvened the City Council for the remainder of the meeting. 8. RECEIVE UPDATE ON CITY FACILITIES CONSOLIDATION PROJECT City Manager Rymer led the discussion and was joined by members of the Leadership Team in providing a high-level overview and update on city facilities planning. He said the team has been spending time and resources evaluating what a new, modern campus could be like for this community, one that is seismically sound,environmentally friendly and provides adequate space for our teammates and community members to conduct the business that we do. As part of this, we have been looking at both a campus for a consolidated police department, city hall and parking structure as well as a new home for our public works facility outside of the downtown. The goal is to have a vibrant, active downtown with additional housing that will make better use of our city- owned property. City Manager Rymer thanked the team for ensuring due diligence by looking at a variety of options to bring a project like this together. We have been looking at our community engagement and have had two online surveys. Teammates have met with boards and committees, and Mayor Snider and councilors are doing public engagement on why we are looking to do this. We have aged facilities that we have outgrown. A good example is the police department facilities which are not adequate for our department or serving the public. We were considering a ballot measure in 2021 but now believe we need to continue due diligence and communication with the public about these needs. We are recommending looking at putting a measure on the ballot in 2022 rather than 2021 and continuing our engagement and polling efforts to communicate with the public before making an ask. Assistant City Manager Nyland said shifting the timeline means focusing on doing this right instead of right now. We are approaching the need for a survey so sought proposals and five TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —May 25, 2021 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 11 of 13 applications were received. The city selected Patinkin Research Strategies, a firm that is familiar with Tigard. We hope to finalize the contract and launch a poll in June with a second survey in late summer or early fall. A third survey will solidify survey findings to help with a decision on referring something to a future ballot. City Manager Rymer said we are continuing to work on a new site for public works and hope to return to council potentially later in June with a recommendation. Council Discussion: • Council President Lueb acknowledged her appreciation that the city is taking a step back and making sure this is being done in the right way, and she supported the 2022 date. • Councilor Newton agreed but suggested messaging the need to the public to make sure they know what we are up against with our aging buildings and the need for providing the best services we can for the public. • Councilor Shaw said she supported the emphasis on due diligence,polling and the 2022 date. • Youth Councilor Calderon said it was a good idea to step back and not rush it and risk rejection by the voters. • Mayor Snider said more specificity was desired with enough time for sustained communication and two-way dialog with the community as was done for the public safety levy. He added his support to the 2022 plan, or even beyond. He said a general axiom is that you can have any two (but not three) of these three things: fast,good, or cheap. This needs to be done well and as affordably as possible so it can't be fast. City Manager Rymer thanked Council for their input. 9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS—None. 10. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT—City Manager Rymer reported on administrative items. • Utility Executive Manager John Goodrich is retiring and his many years of service at the city are very much appreciated. We wish him the best in his new adventures! • Council held a training on communications and staff will have a goal to send an email to Council by 2:00 p.m. on meeting days with the public comment, meeting guide and any supplemental material. • The Let's Talk Transportation virtual event is May 26 from 5-7 p.m. This is a chance for everyone to ask any questions or make comments about transportation. • There is a survey on the website seeking public input on the design for the library's backyard project. • Many families have enjoyed the Family Story Walk services. • The summer reading program is scheduled for June through August. • The city will have a booth at the Farmers Market. Please join us and let us know what is on your mind. • A new resident at Dirksen Nature Park has been spotted, a ring-necked pheasant.
