1. Convene Budget Committee/Introductions-Leah Volt, Chair
Leah covered some housekeeping items and outlined the day's agenda and led a round of introductions of the
budget committee and the leadership team.
2. Budget Message-Steve Rymer, City Manager;Cindy Trimp, Finance Director
• Budget in Brief-Long term fiscal health is key priority by council and the leadership team. Strategic Plan
and adopted goals are reflected in the budget.Tigard Forward-moving the city and community forward to
align budget and city's goals with each other. This budget implements financial best practices that will be
covered more in depth-Internal Service Funds; sound financial policies and continuing review of the
financial forecast. This year's budget is called Tigard Forward-aligning our community forward with our
budget priorities. Four areas address our fiscal health; advancing equity(including anti-racism), improving
community safety, making Tigard more connected and helping residents and small businesses that are
most impacted by the pandemic.
• Proposed budget summary:Cindy said that the proposed budget has total resources totaling $421.9 million
in total resources (transfers, beginning fund balance and annual revenues); $266.5 million in total
appropriations, and $155.4 in reserve for future expenditures; Capital Improvement Plan is $256.4 million.
• Questions: Operational budget-taking steps to make sure fiscal health includes budget is balanced;
reducing volatility of funds (creating Internal Service Funds, Asset Manager position and SDC Coordinator
-develop fees within development). Annual revenues-$139M (external only);total appropriations-$266M-
this includes interdepartmental charges. Positions-need the community to understand how these impact
service delivery; it was recommended that buying new materials-20%of new material-is there a way to buy
less material by recycling? We continue to look at opportunities to do this recycling and reusing materials.
3. 6 year Financial Forecast-Steve Toler, Management Partners
• A forecast is a fiscal management tool to help identify revenue trends as you strive toward stability. Three
things;are they credible-accurate, based on solid assumptions?Are they understandable-clear and simple?
Are they linked to sound fiscal practices?
• Base condition-pandemic recovery, inflation and development and population growth.
City of Tigard Budget CommitteePage 1
• Service delivery-maintain existing service levels; address council's key priorities
• Revenue assumptions include development activity in River Terrace, Hunziker Core and Tigard Triangle;4%
property tax growth; public safety tax levy; estimate the hotel tax will reach pre-pandemic levels by 2024
and 3%growth after;franchise fees-vary based on source;traffic fines will return to pre-pandemic levels in
2023; library support from Washington County; utility sales based on rate study models and American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.
• Expenditure assumptions include TPOA agreement (Police Officers); other bargaining unit is in
negotiations; long-term COLA assumption in FY 2024 and beyond is 4%-based on historical averages;
healthcare cost is up 6.7%and other benefits are also increasing;insurance increasing, internal service fund
initial funding; long-term inflationary assumption is 2.5%.
• Questions: green spending on Fleet replacement? Slide 24-COLA-are those the same assumptions for FY
2023? Proposed budget includes only what is known at this time. Healthcare costs have been incorporated
into this proposed budget. Photo red light enforcement-impact to the volume of fines during Covid, but
initial business case seems off on the revenue side-were they inaccurate? Need to better understand.
• General Fund: reserves will stay above minimum reserve targets; undesignated funds will be depleted by
FY 2027; baseline structural increase of $1.7 million by FY 2028 without corrective action; with population
grown of .85% per year is the assumption-impacts reserves will be drawn down further-corrective action
will be needed.
• Park Funds: $13.8 million in parks projects for FY 2023-funded by grants, Metro and SDC funds; Parks SDC
is being drawn down; Parks Utility-restoration from pre-pandemic levels in FY 2023
• Transportation Funds: Gas tax draw down for several years to invest in CIP projects, revenue growth only
2.5%; TDT-$26.8 million in CIP project funding over the next 6 years;Transportation SDC-growth with new
projects and $10 million spent over the next 6 years with CIP projects; Street Maintenance Fee and
Transportation CIP-$21.5 million spent and $62 million respectively in CIP over the next 6 years.
• Water, Sewer & Stormwater Funds: Revenues in Sanitary Sewer expected to grow based on assumptions
from Clean Water Services to sufficiently fund CIP projects; Stormwater will grow as well; Water-revenues
and SDC revenues are expected to enable funding of CIP projects.
• Conclusion: City funds are healthy going into FY 2023, General Fund will need consideration in the next
two years to address long-term fiscal stability.
4. Public Testimony:
• Phone in call: None
• Mary Kerns-written testimony: pleased about Library funding
• Mark Wiley-drop support for the homeless as they're not taxpayers.
• Sidney Gover-Smith-defund the police.
• Chloe Sampson-Hall Blvd road condition.
• Kevin Robinson-Would like the city to spend money on increasing sports fields quality and capacity.
• Margaret Ryan-Would like the city to put more emphasis on safety funding-make it a top priority.
All public testimony was acknowledged and questions answered.
S. Internal Service Funds (ISF)-Steve Toler
The city has Central Service funds already. Now want to fund the tools and equipment that is needed to support
ongoing operations.We set money aside so when tools and equipment are needed, there is funding.
• Best practice in local government budgeting; reduces volatility within the budget; provides funding for
equipment and technology when needed; supports long-term strategy for fiscal health and sustainability.
• Methodologies: policy considerations, created funds (IT, Facilities and Fleet Replacement), asset
inventories, budget and operations implications.
• Policy Considerations:Operating cost recovery-recover net costs are incorporated through the indirect cost
allocation plan; Insurance fund recovers what is required to maintain project reserves between $1 million
City of Tigard Budget CommitteePage 2
and $1.5 million. Replacement Funds-IT and Fleet-75-100% of calculated replacement value; Facilities-
between 75% - 100% of replacement value, excluding CFC.
• Funding: funding comes from various sources: IT requires just over $2 million; Facilities Replacement just
over $3 million; Fleet/Vehicles-almost $7.5 million, for a total of almost $12.5 million.
• Questions: How many vehicles are related to police? How is initial number set in the Central Services area?
We estimated based on FY 22 budget and FY 21 actual results in the reserve funds. Knowing cost of
operations and funds available and the allocation of all of that to the various operating departments-what
is remaining amount of reserve that is left over that could be used to help reduce, on a time basis, that
initial replacement cost. How is the cost allocated? What are assumptions? Cost allocation model is very
detailed.What is the level of effort of departments and how does it get allocated? For instance, number of
checks issued for Accounts Payable cost allocation.

• Replacement funds-want to clarify slide deck vs.budget-this will be brought back to the committee
on May 2na

we have a robust GIS work-we have 100-200 layers of data-keeps track of our buried and above
ground assets.We need expertise on equity mapping and need a higher level analyst for this work.
We also have many programs requiring advanced mapping and analysis.
• Policy &Administration growth in the last three years-headcount and personnel cost.Would like

additional information on the May 2nd meeting.
• ARPA funding-disconnect on the spending with the community as well. This information will be

• Library outreach-thought we were going to centralize Communications or is it decentralized?The
city has Communications in several departments but work together within the organization. We
haven't made a decision to change this format.
• DEI team vs DEI Manager-why do we need a manager? Will one replace the other? This will be
brought back on May 2na
10. CIP Presentation-Joe Wisniewski, City Engineer

Emerging Issues in the CIP:

6. Reconvene the City Budget Committee-Leah Voit, Chair
7. Follow-Up/Questions & Discussion on items from 4/23/2022 meeting-Steve Rymer, City Manager
1. ISF slide vs budget numbers-Steve Toler-ISF numbers in the budget all match the final
numbers identified as part of the ISF. The slide had older information, which was a mistake,
however the budget is correct.
2. Police Vehicles and Number of Officers: Commander McDonald reviewed the breakdown
requested.Tim Cadman asked how many people are sharing the 46 general use vehicles?Why
do we have so many vehicles? Commander McDonald said the marked vehicles, except canine
vehicles, share vehicles, based on police schedules and rotation schedule from fleet as to how
often the vehicles are in service. We take the fleet size from our partners in fleet-they have a
strict rotation schedule-age, mileage and hours of use. Need to have enough vehicles in
reserve-repair, maintenance, crash-so we have enough vehicles that we need.
3. ARPA Funding-Goal 3 Resiliency Plan:Councilor Newton asked about the criteria when we use
ARPA funds-community asked her about the ARPA $ being used and fit the criteria-want to
tie the funding to the community needs. Should we allocate these dollars yet? Steve Rymer
indicated that we want to reserve some of the ARPA funding for our community needs.We've
invested $125,000 for businesses and have $875,000 committed but not spent. If the pandemic
continued, we do have funding to bring to council if needed. Emily Tritsch-Assistant City
Manager indicated that more communication re ARPA dollars can be added to the website
and be clear on the community focus of ARPA dollars.
Page 2
4. City Photo Red Light Analysis-Mayor Snider suggests that we have a discussion/presentation
so everyone is clear on this topic. Our community needs to know the primary reason for
implementing this program was for safety reasons. Judge Emily O expressed how large the
backlog of tickets is-once we're caught up, the revenue will be more in line with projection.
Lisa Shaw said the projections were pre-Covid and the Court would be operating fully staffed.
Program went live later than original. There were a few technical glitches; over the last two
years, the court has had employee turnover, as well as Covid. We're interested in having 6
months of having a steady flow with full court and traffic flow. This will help us determine
better projections and steady stream of data. Neg $250,000-will be cleaned up in the next few
months. There were one-time costs originally, that are now complete. Once the backlog is
addressed, we will be closer to neutral and then we will be able to take in revenue over
expenditures. Citations that are not cleared are those that photo radar citations that were
mailed out timely, but community member did not respond-Failure to Appear. We are now
beginning to convict by default and sending them a letter, indicating how much they need to
pay and how to proceed. The goal is to be caught up by the end of June. Tim Cadman said we
should show that the streets are safer-more important than the revenue generation. City
Manager Rymer said we will bring an update to council in late summer or early fall and will
make sure the information is passed along to the budget committee.
5. DEI Manager position: Role of DEI team-we see this position will work together with the team
as the leader of the DEI team. We want to highlight what we're doing with and for the
community- the Public Safety Advisory Board, economic development, we see the need to
focus on several things happening to support our entire community.
6. Policy & Administration FTE/Salary: Steve Rymer asked if any clarification is needed. Tim
Cadman said he has a fiduciary responsibility on this committee. Does the city pay mid-market
rates when hired in? He pointed out some salary averages, pointedly at the City Management
level. Steve Kang from Finance pointed out that the budget is maximum spending amount so
the numbers are bit inflated. Dana Bennett, HR Director provided information that we follow
strict pay matrix built on the Oregon Pay Equity Law. This is an equalizing way to determine
how people are paid. Cindy Trimp said we can break it down further for the committee.
8. Additional Comments/Questions
• Councilor Newton went to the area behind the library, Brown property,where the homeless camps
are. She was concerned about the safety of that area. She would like to propose that the budget
committee approve additional dollars for the clean up on a regular basis on this site. It's not a safe
place. Tigard might open a palette-not for this budget cycle, but might look into it. Steve Rymer
said we have $250,000 budgeted for a variety of different services; part is for clean-up-$25,000.
We also have money to study palette homes and other services. If the committee would like to
add money, possibly$100,000 in ARPA funding. Councilor Shaw said this area has been a problem
for two years-do we know how much it would cost to clean up this area-are there other
opportunities to partner with other agencies that could help pay the cost? Steve Rymer said we
are having conversations with the county, learning and getting assessments. Kathy Nyland said
that the $25,000 figure came from a previous clean up that cost between $8-9,000 and this
particular location has grown-due to the pandemic and restrictions for us to immediately act. We
have quotes for cleanup that range between $40-50,000. We are working right now with
Washington County to address the situation. We are reviewing the memorandum of
understanding. The $25,000 is a start cost. Mayor Snider said the core issue is vulnerable
community members that need to be cared for. Leah Voit said would like to add additional funding
to address root causes vs clean up. Councilor Goodhouse if we budget money for the cleanup,we
need to make sure we budget this going forward. How much have we spent on clean up in the last
year or two? Siobhan Chandler-can we coordinate efforts with houselessness with other efforts in
the community?The problem is a lot bigger, and multi-faceted. Leah Voit also asked how is clean
up defined? Kathy Nyland indicated that Washington County offered an encampment pilot
Page 3
program that we explored. The assessment didn't reach the level of criteria for the county to
partner with us. Chief McAlpine said there are new laws and work with Washington County on this.
We don't want to displace individuals-we need to help them. We work with the county to get the
people the services they need.The area has grown,with increased criminal activity.We have regular
monitoring, but now the county is going to help us. We will be posting signs, etc. We also work
with non-profits. Siobhan asked what are the potential next steps for the budget committee?Chief
indicated that this council goal-talking resources are thin. $25,000 cleanup is not very much. A
specialized company has to come in for the cleanup. If the budget committee could increase the
cleanup funding, that would be helpful.
o Next steps-Budget Committee-come up with technical adjustment for increased clean up
funding.
o Define when a cleanup is warranted and discuss at the next budget committee meeting.
• Council President Lueb-with ISF set up-perhaps an accrual could be started sometime-set up as
an ISF in the next budget cycle. Also, we approved an allocation to participate in the South Cities
Mental Health Response team. They help respond with a Police Officer for someone in crisis. Do
we want a clinician team dedicated to Tigard? We should start talking about this. The Chief said
that there is data with comments that she will be bringing that information to council in the future.
• Siobhan Chandler asked about the possibility of increasing recycling services through Ridwell.
Washington County is not doing this. Has Tigard looked into any alternatives to getting rid of the
monopoly we currently have?Steve Rymer said they're working to expand their services.Additional
conversations will be happening. Mayor Snider said we have a top down franchise with our
franchisees. If our current franchises are willing to do the work, we don't have the legal right to
grant the service to someone else.

camp cleanups. Chief explained that the camp ratings come from Washington County-the camp by the
wetlands raised the rating and also criminal activity. The camp behind the library rated 75 due to these,
and other circumstances. Library Director Halsted Bernard shared that the county has additional
