Business Meeting Meeting Date: 10/11/2022 Length(in minutes): 5 Minutes Agenda Title: Proclaim October Domestic Violence Awareness Month Authored By: Joanne Bengtson Presented By: Chief McAlpine Item Type: Motion Requested Proclamation Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE Domestic Violence Awareness Month is held each October to raise community awareness about the signs of domestic partner abuse and ways to stop it and unite policy leaders and advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. ACTION REQUESTED Teammates would like the City Council to issue a proclamation in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations City Council issued this proclamation beginning in 2019. Public Involvement Police Chief McAlpine can speak to the impact domestic violence has in the Tigard community and the continuing need for education and referral. The city advocates for our partners with the Domestic Violence Resource Center for the wide array of services they offer survivors and their children. In 2021,the center provided almost 12,000 crisis services to Washington County residents. Impacts (Community, Budget,Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) The proclamation has no budget impact. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION The City Council could choose not to issue the proclamation but city teammates are supportive of increased education and awareness of domestic violence and how to end the cycle of abuse.

It is the purpose of this document to set forth the full Agreement between the above-mentioned parties on matters relating to employment relations. The City and the Union acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this Agreement,each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the area of collective bargaining,and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in full in this Agreement. Therefore,the City and the Union,for the life of this Agreement,each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waive the right,and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any subject or matter referred to or covered in this Agreement or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered in this Agreement,even though such subject or matter may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at that time that they negotiated this Agreement. The parties agree however that this language does not apply to City policies. ARTICLE 1—RECOGNITION Section 1.Bargaining Unit:The City recognizes SEIU Local 503/OPEU "Union" as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent, for the purpose of establishing wages,hours,and conditions of employment, for the classifications listed in Appendix "A" for all full-time,regular employees (those employees regularly scheduled to work forty(40) hours per week) and for all regular,part-time employees (those employees regularly scheduled to work twenty(20) hours or more per week,but less than forty(40) hours per week). All seasonal employees (those hired to work for a fixed period of time which is less than one year),casual, irregular part-time (those scheduled to work less than twenty(20) hours per week),and all other employees are excluded from the bargaining unit.Any employee employed on a temporary basis will be excluded from the bargaining unit. It is agreed that temporary,seasonal,casual and irregular part-time employees shall not work for more than 1,040 hours in a calendar year and must have a minimum of a 13-week break in service, prior to returning to the City in a temporary capacity.If a temporary, seasonal,casual,or irregular part-time employee is worked beyond the 1,040 hours in a year (without an extension on file),the City must pay the Union equivalent dues that would be owed for all hours worked since the start date for that employee and immediately release the employee from City service. The City agrees that once each quarter(January,April,July,and October) the Union will be provided a calendar year to date total hours worked report for City temporary staff.The Union agrees that when extenuating circumstances exist,a temporary assignment may be extended for up to two months (347 hours) with an explanation of the circumstances and advanced notice to the Union.The parties agree that the foregoing limit on temporary employees'hours shall not apply when the temporary employee is employed as a substitute for a regular full-time or regular part-time employee during an extended leave or period of light duty not to exceed two (2) years or as the parties may otherwise agree. Section 2. Non-Discrimination:This Agreement shall be applied equally to all employees represented by the Union without unlawful discrimination for any reason.The Union shall share equally the responsibility for applying the provisions of this paragraph. Inasmuch as both State and Federal law include mechanisms for the resolution of discrimination issues,the Union and the City agree that the provisions of this Section shall City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 - 1 be used as the basis for a Step 1 through Step 3 grievance but shall not be pursued to Step 4-Arbitration,or otherwise cited as the basis for a claim of a violation of this Agreement. Section 3.New Classifications:The City shall notify the Union of its decision to change an existing or add a new classification by sending a copy of the new or revised classification description to the Union.The City shall also notify the Union of any change in job duties of an existing classification if such a change may affect the employee's representation status.The City shall also advise the Union as to whether or not it regards the new or revised classification or position to be within or outside the bargaining unit.

Section 14:Acting in capacity on-call program (Library pilot only,expires June 30,2025) The city will fill on-call shifts by offering them to either the on-call pool or regular part-time employees for shifts outside of their job classification for which they meet the minimum qualifications. Minimum qualifications will be reviewed by human resources on a quarterly basis to establish an eligible list of candidates who are interested and qualified for the acting in capacity on call opportunities. The purpose of running a quarterly review and application is to give employees the opportunity to work towards meeting the minimum qualifications of the desired job classification and be considered for the acting in capacity on call opportunities. At this time,because the time employees will act in capacity performing duties outside of their regular scope of duties in an irregular and infrequent basis,the 5%Acting in capacity premium pay does not apply.The current HRIS system does not allow for having one employee in two positions at one time and therefore the parties agree to a 10%premium pay for each hour worked while participating in the acting in capacity on call pilot program for participating employees. This pilot program allows the city to concentrate efforts on developing employees. The library acting in capacity on-call pilot program will end on or before June 30,2025.At that time,the city will evaluate the program to determine if the new HRIS system will be able to manage having two positions for one individual.

Section 2. Order of Layoff:If a layoff is implemented,employees shall be laid off in inverse order of their seniority within the classification,and within the department,affected by the layoff. Before any regular full- time or regular part-time employee in a given classification may be laid off,all seasonal,casual and irregular part-time employees who are working in the same classification and department shall be laid off. Seniority shall be as defined in Article 8,Section 1. In order to implement this definition,the City will provide the Union with a seniority list based upon the employee's hire date as a regular bargaining unit employee. For any employee to be affected either by layoff or bumping,the City will review the employee's personnel file to determine if the employee's listed seniority date needs to be adjusted by a period of unprotected unpaid leave. Bumping rights shall be based upon the employee's adjusted seniority date. If two (2) or more employees have equal seniority,the employee to be laid off shall be determined by lot. Section 3. Bumping: In the event of a layoff,any employee who has been notified of a layoff shall,within ten (10) calendar days following notice of layoff,have the right to displace the least senior employee in the same or lower-paying classification provided they are fully qualified to perform the work of the lower-paying classification.An employee shall be considered qualified to perform the work of such lower classification if they meet all of the job qualification requirements specified in the current classification specification for the classification in question.Any employee who exercises their bumping rights shall serve a probationary period of three (3) months. During such probationary period the City shall have the right to lay the employee off if the employee is not performing the job in an adequate manner. If an employee wishes to waive their right to displace an employee in a lower classification and thereby be subject to layoff,that employee shall so notify the City in writing within ten (10) calendar days of their receipt of notice of the layoff.When an employee bumps to a lower classification,as provided for above, they shall be placed at the maximum rate for the new classification or the employee's current salary rate,whichever is lesser. For purposes of this Article,non-bargaining unit employees regardless of prior service in the bargaining unit shall have no right to bump into a bargaining unit position. Section 4.Recall:If a position opening occurs in the classification that the employee was employed in at the time of layoff,that employee,provided they have the greatest seniority of any employee on layoff from that class shall be offered the position. City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 -23 An employee will remain on the layoff list and be eligible for recall for twelve (12) months.The City shall notify a laid off employee of a position opening by email and certified letter,return receipt requested,to their address of record as maintained in the employee's personnel file. It shall be the employee's responsibility to ensure that their current mailing and email address is on file at the time the recall occurs.The employee shall have three (3) days from the receipt,or return by the post office,of such notice to notify the City in writing of their intent to return within ten (10) days of the date of receipt of such notice. If the employee fails to so respond to a recall notice within the time herein specified,or if they refuse an offered position,all rights to recall shall be terminated. Employees returning from layoff shall have previously accrued sick leave and seniority reinstated but shall not receive such benefits for the period of the layoff. Recalled employees shall serve a ninety(90)-day probationary period,unless returning to a former work division in the same or lower classification. Section 5. Use of Consultants:The Order of Layoff,as defined by Section 2,above, shall not be construed to prohibit the City from calling in consultants with specialized skills and/or certifications on a temporary basis, to perform tasks that cannot be performed by remaining City employees.The City agrees that in the event it needs such consultants,the City will attempt to use an employee on layoff status to perform the work on a temporary basis before bringing in a non-employee,provided the employee on layoff status is available when the City needs the work performed and possesses the specialized skill(s) and/or certifications required for the work.If more than one laid off employee meets all of the requirements of the temporary position,bargaining unit seniority shall be the determining factor. Section 6. Severance Pay: In the event of layoff,any employee with more than five (5) years of service with the City shall receive one (1) month's severance pay upon layoff. If an employee who receives payment under this Section is recalled within six (6) months,they shall be permitted to take up to nine (9) months (18 paychecks) to repay the City for money received under this Section. ARTICLE 18—INVESTIGATIONS, DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE Section 1. Investigatory Interview:The employee will be provided at least twenty-four(24) hours'notice of an investigatory interview along with the alleged conduct and applicable policy violation(s),and such notice shall include the employee's right to Union representation during the interview. In matters of a more complex nature,where the Union or the employee can show good cause for needing additional preparation time,they may request to the Human Resources Department for up to a forty-eight(48)-hour extension prior o the investigatory interview. Section 2.Just Cause:Disciplinary actions taken against employees shall be limited to the following:written reprimand,disciplinary probation,reduction in pay or other monetary assessment,demotion, suspension,or discharge.Nothing in this agreement shall preclude an employee and the City from entering into a last chance agreement.Disciplinary action shall be for just cause only and will not be taken against an employee without procedural due process as herein defined,except as follows: Discharge or demotion during a probationary period (Article 8),and demotion that is in lieu of a layoff (Article 17) or that is a bona fide reclassification shall not be the basis for a claim of a violation of this Article. No disciplinary material shall be placed in the employee's personnel file that does not bear either the signature of the employee indicating that they have been shown the material or a statement by the employee that they City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 -24 have been shown the material and has refused to sign it.A copy of such material shall be furnished to the employee.An employee may include an explanatory statement in the file in answer to any reprimand or other disciplinary documents. However,the above shall not apply if timely personal service is not practicable. In such a circumstance,the City shall send a copy of the disciplinary material by registered letter to the last known address to the employee at the time the material is placed in the file. In addition,the registered return receipt shall be placed in the personnel file. Written reprimands which are more than four (4) years past the effective date shall only be used to show patterns of conduct or to support an employee's understanding of workplace rules or conduct. All counseling materials and memos that are cautionary,derogatory or critical in nature,but less severe than a written reprimand shall be placed in the supervisor's file only,and not the official personnel file. Material placed in the personnel record of an employee without conforming with the provision(s) of this Article will not be used by the City in any disciplinary proceedings involving the employee. If the City has reason to reprimand an employee,it shall be in a manner that is least likely to embarrass the employee before other employees and the public. Section 3. Suspension Pending Investigation:An employee may be immediately suspended pending an investigation and completion of the due process steps if their continued presence on the job would constitute a safety hazard to themselves or to other employees or be potentially disruptive to City operations. Such suspension may be without pay,however,if after the investigation the employee is reinstated without being disciplined,the employee shall receive all lost pay and benefits for the period of the suspension. No employee shall be suspended for more than three (3)weeks for the purpose of investigation pending further discipline. Section 4.Due Process:Due process shall require the following: (a) Before the City notifies the employee of disciplinary action pursuant to part(b) of this Section,the employee will be served with a written notice and provided an opportunity to respond as follows: 1. The employee shall be advised that disciplinary action is being considered. 2. The specific charges or performance deficiencies will be identified. 3. The employee will be advised of their right to meet with the supervisor with or without Union representation and respond to the charges. (b) At or after the above-referenced meetings/response and such additional investigation as may be deemed appropriate by the supervisor has been completed,the supervisor shall make their decision and provide written notice thereof to the employee. ARTICLE 19—PERSONNEL RECORDS Section 1. File Access: Each employee and each former employee shall have the right to review the contents of their own personnel file.At their option,they may request to be accompanied by a Union representative of City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 -25 their choosing or give the Union representative written permission to inspect and make copies of file materials. Access to an employee's personnel file shall be limited to only the individual employee or former employee involved,their designated representative, such supervisory and/or confidential employees of the City who are assigned to review and maintain personnel files,provided such limitations on access do not conflict with state public records law.The provisions of this Section 1 shall be inapplicable to any portion of an employee's personnel file which may be subpoenaed by a court of law,introduced as evidence in any arbitration proceeding,or which is subject to disclosure under public records law. The employee shall have the right to receive a copy of the materials in their personnel file in full or part. Except when otherwise authorized by the employee,in writing,no information from the employee's personnel file shall be reproduced or released for use outside of the City except verification of employment, employment dates,job tide,and pay range and public records requests. Section 2. Removal of Material from File: Upon employee request,and subject to Human Resources approval,letters of reprimand may be removed from an employee's personnel file three (3) years after they have been placed in the employee's file.The parties understand that the City may retain such records outside of the personnel file for purposes complying with its obligations under State archives law and for purposes of demonstrating notice and timing of prior communications with employees. Section 3.Placement of Material in File:At the request of the employee,all letters and materials of commendation shall, subject to Section 2 of this Article,become a part of the employee's personnel file and the employee shall be furnished a copy of all such material at the time it is placed in the personnel file. Section 4.Performance Evaluations: Employees shall have at least 24 (twenty-four) hours to read their performance evaluation prior to reviewing the evaluation with their supervisor. ARTICLE 20— CONTRACTING AND SUBCONTRACTING OF WORK Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS. 243.650 to 243.782,the Union recognizes that the City shall have the right to make and to implement decisions relative to the contracting and subcontracting of work as it may determine;however,before the City may contract work presently and regularly performed by members of the bargaining unit and provided such contracting will result in the layoff or demotion of current members of the bargaining unit,the following shall occur: 1. The Union shall be notified in writing at least seventy(70) calendar days in advance of the proposed implementation of such subcontracting. Such notification shall include a detailed analysis of the likely impact on the bargaining unit,and shall also outline the projected financial impact and other considerations that the City has deemed are pertinent to its deliberations to contract or subcontract work. 2. Upon receipt of such notice,the Union shall have twenty(20) calendar days in which to notify the City of its desire to meet and discuss the subcontracting.The Union may propose changes in existing work rules,benefits,and/or wage rates in order to compete more effectively with the contractors or subcontractors and/or the Union may propose alternative staffing arrangements that it believes would reduce the impact of the contracting or subcontracting. City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 -26 The City shall not finalize a decision to contract or subcontract such work until after it has afforded the Union the opportunity to meet as provided above.The City shall give full consideration to all timely Union proposals before a decision is finalized.If such work is to be contracted or subcontracted,the City agrees to transfer or demote employees to any available vacant positions rather than lay off employees whenever it is feasible to do so;provided the employee meets the minimum qualifications with respect to education and work experience for the position to which they are transferred or demoted,and provided that no employee rights or benefits under Article 17—Layoff are abridged.A demotion shall be defined as involuntary reassignment to a new classification with a lower paying maximum salary rate. ARTICLE 21— GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE Contract Interpretation:If there is a question about the interpretation of the language of the CBA,then the Local 199 President and Director of Human Resources (or their designees) must come to a mutually agreeable interpretation.

City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 -36 APPENDIX D— COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE IMPACT OF LOSS Employees in positions requiring the possession of a commercial driver license (CDL) are expected to maintain the CDL.An employee holding such a position who is unavailable for work in that position while recovering from injury or illness may be placed temporarily on a light duty assignment (if available) or on leave where a temporary light duty assignment is not available. Such temporary reassignment or leave would not impact the employee's classification. However,an employee who is unavailable for work in that position for six (6) months or more may be impacted. To maintain operational efficiency,it is necessary that a sufficient number of employees in Utility Worker positions who have a CDL.When a Utility Worker II is unable to or chooses not to maintain the CDL,that employee may request to be reclassified to Utility Worker I,if the division is able to maintain operational efficiencies with the change in classification, subject to approval by the supervisor and Public Works Director. Such employee would remain in the Utility Worker I classification until they regain the qualification to work as Utility Worker II (CDL is reinstated) and/or unless they were bumped out of the Utility Worker I classification.The impact of the change in classification would be consistent with the voluntary demotion process. If too many staff lost their CDLs, such that operational efficiencies were negatively impacted,then the process to determine which staff would be allowed to reclassify down into a Utility Worker I and/or remain in the Utility Worker I classification would be as follows: • First priority would be given to employees with accepted workers'compensation medical conditions (EG on the job injuries). If more than one staff was so situated,bargaining unit seniority would be the determining factor between the staff, should it be necessary. • Second priority would be given to employees with personal medical conditions preventing them from maintaining a CDL.Again,if more than one employee was so situated,bargaining unit seniority would be the determining factor should it be necessary. • When an employee's loss of a CDL is related to a medical condition,the City would engage in the interactive process with that employee,consistent with the ADA and Oregon law,to determine whether transfer to an open position not requiring a CDL would be reasonable (such as other vacant positions within the City where the employee might be capable of performing the essential functions with or without reasonable accommodation). If no such transfer position is available,then a medical layoff would be the next step. Employees who are subject to such a medical layoff will then have rights consistent with other laid off employees per Article 17,including recall rights for a period of 12 months following separation;where the medical condition is work-related, such an employee may also have reinstatement or reemployment rights under state workers'compensation laws. • When an employee's loss of CDL is related to a non-medical situation,the employee may voluntarily demote into a lower-level vacant position for which the employee meets the minimum qualifications.If no such position is available,then the employee is laid off. The Senior Utility Worker job classification also requires the maintenance of a CDL and therefore Seniors would also potentially be allowed to reclassify down to a Utility Worker I should the CDL be lost under the same rules as those listed above, so long as it could be accommodated operationally. However, once the CDL was reinstated,a former Senior would not necessarily be allowed to return to the former Senior position and might instead be moved up to a Utility Worker II. City of Tigard—SEIU Local 503/OPEU Local 199 CBA 2022-2025 - 37 • In a case where medical reasons caused the loss of the CDL and the employee has been reclassified to a Utility Worker I,where the medical reason was work related,and where the employee was able to reinstate the CDL within three years of the date of injury,then reinstatement to the former Senior position would be permitted. In such cases any promotion would need to be rolled backward. 2 • In a case where medical reasons caused the loss of the CDL,where the employee has been reclassified to a Utility Worker I and where the medical reason was non-work related,if the CDL is lost for more than six (6) months,then the former Senior would not be allowed to return to the Senior classification,but would be moved to a Utility Worker II upon reinstatement of the CDL. • When an employee in a Senior Utility Worker position loses a CDL related to a medical condition but no Utility Worker I position is available,the City would engage in the interactive process with that employee, consistent with the ADA and Oregon law,to determine whether transfer to an open position not requiring a CDL would be reasonable (such as other vacant positions within the City where the employee might be capable of performing the essential functions with or without reasonable accommodation).If no such transfer position is available,then a medical layoff would be the next step. Employees who are subject to such a medical layoff will then have rights consistent with other laid off employees per Article 17,including recall rights for a period of 12 months following separation;where the medical condition is work-related, such an employee may also have reinstatement or reemployment rights under state workers' compensation laws. 4872-3646-8534,v. 1 2 Current Workers'Compensation law requires that should an employee be accommodated into another role and then recover such that they could again fulfill the essential functions of the formerly held position,that reinstatement to the former position is required.Thus,any promotion of other staff that occurred in the interim,would need to be undone, the impacted staff would be treated as a bump down.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 10/11/2022 Length(in minutes): 45 Minutes Agenda Title: Urban Livestock Briefing Authored By: Hope Pollard Presented By: Item Type: Update,Discussion,Direct Staff Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE Receive project update on urban livestock regulations (Phase I of Tigard HOME:Housing,Opportunity,Mobility,and Ease). ACTION REQUESTED No formal action requested.Discussion only. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations Previous Considerations: •May 17,2022:Introduction to the Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity,Mobility,and Ease) project. •July 19,2022:Briefing on Phase 1: Urban Agriculture and initial community feedback. Future Considerations: •October 2022:Adoption of urban agriculture regulations. •Fall/Winter 2022:Briefing for beginning next phase of the HOME project Public Involvement There has been significant public involvement in this project,as reflected by the following.Note:public comments and analysis are included as attachments to this report. •An interested parties list composed of 167 individuals. •Two open house events held at the library: •June 29,2022: attended by 14 people •September 20,2022: attended by 22 people •Presence at the Tigard Street Fair on September 10,2022,where staff received 13 written comments and provided information for community members to sign up for the September 20 open house. •Emailed correspondence with approximately 55 individuals. •Phone calls, site visits,and other written correspondence. Impacts Discussion around how to approach urban livestock regulations will deliver on two of the Council's Community Promises: •Community Promise 2: Environment:We will embrace sustainability to improve our natural resources and the livability of our community. •Community Promise 3: Engagement:We will involve all voices in our community while building trusting relationships. Current Status Tigard HOME was first introduced to the Planning Commission and City Council at a joint briefing on May 17,2022. At that briefing, staff was directed to fast track the urban agriculture component of the project,given the significant public comment received on the subject. With an interested parties list of 167 individuals,email and mail correspondence with about 55 individuals,phone calls, other written comments,and event attendance,the level of public involvement in this project has been significant (Attachment 1).While at the start of this project there appeared to be a strong demand for more intensive regulations, many community members have since gathered to express a groundswell of support for no change to the current regulations with enforcement through the nuisance code. At this briefing,we will: •Introduce key categories of draft regulations; •Review takeaways from community outreach efforts;and •Discuss adoption timeline. Draft Regulations Following direction from the Planning Commission and City Council in May,staff worked with livestock experts and community members to draft urban livestock regulations.The regulations as currently drafted allow a basic number of animals outright,wile providing a path to exceed this maximum number for experienced livestock managers.The draft regulations also include specific shelter and storage requirements aimed at reducing infestation and predation. To facilitate public input,staff shared a draft copy of these regulations with the community at the Open House event on September 20 and received significant feedback.The draft regulations include the following provisions: •Number of livestock allowed •6 chickens,6 rabbits,and 3 goats are allowed on any lot. •To exceed the maximum number,a community member may apply for a livestock license and attest to being educated in best practices.With a license,the maximum number of animals allowed is determined by the property's ability to accommodate the minimum structure size.Bees are allowed only with a livestock license. •Other livestock animals,including roosters and large livestock,are prohibited. •Minimum and maximum structure sizes and setbacks Minimum Shelter Size (per animal) Min setback 5 feet Minimum Run Size from PL (per animal) Chickens and domestic fowl 4 sf I 10 sf Rabbits 4 sf I 10 sf I Goats 20 sf I 100 sf I •Required storage of materials:All beekeeping and livestock-related materials, such as feed,must be stored in securely lidded containers. •Educational requirements:To obtain a license,the applicant must attest to being educated in livestock best practices including categories such as,but not limited to,animal health,manure management,and pest control. Given the volume of feedback, staff is currently working to refine the regulations,which will be redrafted and shared with the Commission and Council for adoption hearings on October 17 and November 1.The purpose of tonight's briefing is to inform the Council of community input received on this project to date. Public comments,including a detailed breakdown of responses to the draft regulations,are included as attachments to this memo. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION No alternatives to consider at this time.

Attendees shared their thoughts by placing post-its on informational boards. Of the 73 comments received: • 39 comments expressed concern that a proposed regulation was too strict or that regulations were not necessary, as current nuisance code properly addresses the issue • 22 comments expressed concern that a proposed regulation was not strict enough • 11 comments supported a proposed regulation as written • 1 comment was miscellaneous Nature of Comments at September 20 Open House Based on all responses to individual draft regulations 1% 15% I 54% 30% •Too strict or not needed • Not strict enough •Just right • Not sure Finally, of the approximately 55 individuals who sent an email or mailed a letter on livestock regulations in 2022: • 34 advocated for no new regulations, as existing nuisance code properly addresses the issues • 8 advocated for significant new regulations • 7 advocated for reasonable and clear regulations • 6 shared miscellaneous feedback, resources, and experiences Nature of Email and Mail Correspondence Received in 2022 What did the correspondence advocate for? b 13% 14% 62% Ail • No more regulations • More regulations • Reasonable regulations • Miscellaneous URBAN a AGRICULTURE What's That? (13 Urban Agriculture and Livestock: Community Input Summary There has been significant public participation in the process of writing urban agriculture and livestock regulations, as indicated by the following: • An interested parties list composed of 167 individuals. • Two open house events: o June 29, 2022: attended by 14 people o September 20, 2022: attended by 22 people • Presence at the Tigard Street Fair on September 10,2022,where staff received 13 written comments and provided information for community members to sign up for the September 20 open house. • Emailed correspondence with approximately 54 individuals. • Phone calls, site visits, and other written correspondence. Fourteen community members attended the June 29 Open House.The event was described in detail in the last briefing to the Planning Commission and City Council (Attachment 2 to the staff report), but the feedback is summarized again here. Community members tended to prefer regulations that: • Presumed small to medium lot sizes (10-20,000 square feet) • Allowed about 2-6 chickens per lot, depending on lot size • Allowed about 2-3 goats per lot, depending on lot size • Allowed bees • Prohibited roosters and larger livestock Feedback from the June 29 event can be broken into categories of those who desired no new regulations, significant new regulations, or reasonable regulations based on their responses to the number of chickens they believed should be allowed, as shown below. Level of Regulations Desired Based on responses to number of chickens that should be allowed 1 1 sponse 17 responses ■ No changes to regulations • No livestock • Reasonable regulations(3-6 chickens or depends on lot size) Attendees preferred ordinances that limited the number of animals based on lot size.While these numbers tended to be in the low range (around 3-6 of each animal maximum), most commenters welcomed discussion and provided constructive feedback for how to allow a reasonable number of livestock on a residential property. One attendee made plans to visit the Sprague residence to learn more about the reality of urban livestock. Many respondents also advocated for requiring a permit, education, or other community-building opportunities to aid urban farmers in keeping their property in good repair and the animals safe. Concerns mainly revolved around noise,pests, enforcement procedures, and protecting chickens from predators. Impacts Urban agriculture regulations will allow for reasonable urban agricultural activity and maintenance of backyard livestock while limiting potential associated nuisances and hazards with easy-to-read standards. Codifying urban agriculture regulations will also deliver on two of the Council's Community Promises: •Community Promise 2: Environment:We will embrace sustainability to improve our natural resources and the livability of our community. •Community Promise 3: Engagement: We will involve all voices in our community while building trusting relationships. Background and Introduction The Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity,Mobility, and Ease) project was first introduced to the Planning Commission and City Council at a joint briefing on May 17, 2022.At that briefing, staff was directed to fast track the urban agriculture component of the project,given the significant public comment received on the subject. Feedback contained in these comments falls into two apparently opposing categories: 1. Calls for protection against mess,pests, and endangered public health associated with some urban farms. 2. Calls for protection and expansion of the sense of community, education, and economic opportunity urban farms provide. While these comments appear on the surface to demonstrate conflicting desires for local neighborhoods, a common goal can be deduced: clean, safe neighborhoods built on a sense of community and opportunity. Staff seeks a solution that can unite these positions to foster a thriving and healthy community for all—mitigating potential nuisances associated with nonresidential activity in neighborhoods while also maximizing freedom for community members to use their homes in ways that uplift the neighborhood. In this briefing we will: •Introduce Tigard HOME: Phase 1 •Review takeaways from research and community outreach efforts •Receive input on project direction from City Council •Discuss urban agriculture code adoption timeline ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION AIS-4984 7.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations Previous Considerations: May 17,2022: Introduction to the Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity,Mobility, and Ease) project. Future Considerations: October 2022: Adoption of urban agriculture regulations (following additional community input) Fall/Winter 2022: Briefing for beginning next phase of the HOME project Public Involvement City staff held an interactive community event on June 29 at 5:30 pm at the library. The event was shared with the community through: •An email sent to an interested party list of 100 people. •Social media advertising that reached over 30,000 people. •The Cityscape emailed newsletter, sent to 23,550 people. •The City website,visited by 111 people. •An engagement website,visited by 72 people. Twenty-two people registered for the event and fourteen people attended.Attendees shared their thoughts by sending in written comments and interacting with stations with the following themes (Attachments 2-7): •Station 1: Compare existing regulations from throughout the region. •Station 2: Write how many of each type of animal should be allowed. •Station 3: Write what kind of urban agriculture is appropriate in Tigard. •Station 4: Share concerns about urban agriculture and regulations. Staff recommends continuing to build regulations with the community. Following initial research and outreach, staff recommends these regulations limit the number of animals based on the size of a lot;include specific regulations for enclosures,noise,pests, and enforcement; and include a permit requirement that allows for clear enforcement. No alternatives to consider at this time.

Some people who received this message don't often get email from rog,potthoff@1ive.com.Learn why this is important Caution!This message was sent from outside your organization. Greetings! My name is Roger Potthoff. I recently called into a City Council meeting to express my concern relating conditions on properties immediately adjacent to my home at 11710 SW Ann St., which are proving attractive to rats. Indeed, infestation is not an exaggeration, when viewed through the lens of public health and safety and peace of mind. This email is in follow-up to those concerns. Attached to this email is my written statement (in letter format) addressed to the COT elected officials and staff. The attachment is titled "3-4-22 Ltr to Cncil", and is intended to provide context for what has been happening on SW Ann Street over the past seven years, and the what residents in this neighborhood have been complaining, but doing nothing about - except for me, but that is changing now as others are fed-up and starting to do something about it. I ask that you read my letter before viewing the supporting documents and photos which are attached to/imbedded in this email. The letter will make clear my motivation in bringing this compound set of problems to your attention - again. The letter will also make clear the three properties at issue and help you understand the organization of the photos and documents which relate separately and severally to the three subject properties. The document links and photo URL addresses are also found in the letter, but while the Nikon Photo Image URLs in the letter will probably remain active upon transmission, the document pdf attachment links will probably not remained active in the letter. To cure this, I have in this email included all of URL hyperlinks and the pdf document attachments. If you have any difficulty in opening or accessing any of the attachments and/or hyperlinks, please let me know. You can expect that I and others from this neighborhood will be available to discuss with you and COT staff the broad range of concerns and possible remedies that relevant to this matter. I know there is a lot to review here and think about, but as warm weather returns and rodents become more active in breeding and feeding, remedying these conditions becomes extremely important and urgent. It really is a public health and safety matter, and from my evidence it has been getting worse. The 15 rat photos of dead rats are not even close, not at all close, to a full accounting of this infestation. Thank you for your time and attention. Roger H.

She and her beautiful family have been the most hard-working, entrepreneurial, and compassionate people I have ever known. When I first met Elizabeth,she had four of her now five boys who she allowed to explore and to whom she taught the value of growing one's own food and treating all animals with love and respect. I remember the little ones running happily barefoot on their property cradling a chick or a puppy and introducing me to them.Two of them still do. Over the past nine years, we have shared gardening knowledge with each other and marveled over the feast we can grow ourselves.The boys come over every year to help me pick fruit off the trees and off the ground.They welcome me anytime I need eggs, or better yet, a chicken, duck, or goat"fix."The little ones invite me to play games cross-legged on the ground while the older boys care for the animals or help their mom sort and pot plants. Elizabeth fostered puppies for years and her kind heart persuaded her to adopt the blind dog, the lame dog, or the very sick dog, because her heart is so big. She home schools her children with imagination and creativity. She feeds anyone who she hears of who needs it, whether she knows them or not. She is a model of kindness, courage, empathy, determination, and friendship. She, Mike, and her boys make Leron Heights special. It's the house on the corner with all the plants and animals. What a joy it is. What a delight they are. And Elizabeth, she is pure gold. I humbly ask that you allow their menagerie to stay. Let them continue to be the joy all neighborhoods need. We are fortunate indeed.

BOX 230601 • TieARD OR 97281-0601 Tigard City Council 13125 SW Hall Blvd Tigard, OR. 97223 Re Sprague's Corner Nuisance Report March 20, 2022 Residing on 116th ave I have the opportunity to view "Sprague's Corner" home and yard every time I step out my front door. It's great to know these folks, and enjoy the pleasures of their productivity. Admiring Mike and Elizabeth's skills in raising five outstanding sons with education, courtesy, manners, and responsibilities is easy to do. Watching the family's productivity in the face of adversity produced from an angry unsettled neighbor shows their resilience, strength, and forgiveness for that individual's bitter effort to thwart their appreciated harmony brought into our neighborhood. Viewing chickens, ducks, and goats as 1 pass by is refreshing and always brings a smile. Seeing the boys attend chores and taking care of business is great to see, especially in today's lifestyles that seem to produce youngsters having more focus in video games than in responsible accomplishment of chores, household support, and enjoying the pleasures of playing outdoors. Youngest boys attending charter home school are proud of their educational accomplishments and it reflects in attitudes and behaviors towards the neighborhood residence, and in projects they have completed. A productive garden is an inspiring vision to indulge especially peak times of fruiting and flowering plants. Not only is the produce great for the neighborhood, so is the opportunity for much needed bees to be pollinating. Having personally enjoyed the fruits of their harvest, vegetables, eggs, and plant starts, I found they are healthy and flavorful. Whether passing by Sprague's corner on foot or in an automobile, the family is always friendly and prompt to send or return a smile and greeting. When the boys ride through the neighborhood they do it with respect and courtesy, in a non disruptive manor. These folks while enjoying their life perpetuate harmony in our neighborhood. It unsettles me that one individual wants to eviscerate the neighborhood of the outstanding pleasures and wholesome goodness this family produces and shares. I am proud to know the Sprague family as neighbors, and enjoy the presence of"Sprague's corner" with everything it offers.

During the past 5 years that I have known Elizabeth I have traded plants and seeds with her and have witness many community members benefitting from her generosity and wonderful homestead. My Autistic child has gained so much benefit from seeing the plants and animals. I know many other families have had similar experiences. It is really a shame that one, (selfish?) community member has given so much time and energy to trying to stop this important learning space. Imagine if all of that time and energy went to being supportive to the homestead and the hundreds of families and individuals who have benefitted from this truly cherished place. Please show your support for Elizabeth's homestead,and by doing this you show that you care about community,children,education,family,and most importantly,that you will not let pettiness stand in the way of the true community spirit of sharing positive learning spaces.Signed, Lindsay Freedman Attachment Supporting Documents/Images Thank you, City of Tigard This is an automated message generated by Granicus.Please do not reply directly to this email.

(Comments are due by noon the day of the meeting) Poultry/Livestock Ordinance Comments My name is Elizabeth Sprague, I am a Tigard resident,and I would like to speak on the current Tigard Poultry/Livestock ordinance and why I do not believe it should be changed. Attachment Supporting Documents/Images Public Comment 4-11.pdf Thank you, City of Tigard This is an automated message generated by Granicus.Please do not reply directly to this email. 1 Mr. Mayor and Council Members, My name is Elizabeth Sprague, I am a Tigard resident, and I would like to speak on the current Tigard Poultry/Livestock ordinance and why I do not believe it should be changed. Our world has been turned upside-down these last couple years with COVID, supply chain issues, climate change and the recent attacks on Ukraine. Many people have worried about feeding their families after seeing store shelves emptied. They are starting "victory gardens" and adding backyard chickens. They are getting to know their neighbors and coming together to support the community. Our current poultry/livestock ordinance has allowed Tigard residents to do this and it would be a shame to see that right taken away for so many by adding restrictions. Let's look at how some of the common restrictions could affect Tigard residents. Poultry/Livestock housing must be 100' away from neighboring houses. This was a previous restriction Tigard had that also prevented people from allowing their chickens to free range. While my family is blessed with a larger lot because we have owned this property for almost 50 years, most Tigard lots are not big enough to make this feasible. Not only would this prevent many residents from owning chickens at all, but it would prevent the ones who could from allowing their birds to free range. Allowing chickens & ducks to free range works as a natural pest control, they love eating bugs! Ducks in particular are great for slug control. Muscovy ducks are known for hunting mice and other small rodents. Free ranging also helps keep feed costs down, helping to reduce a family's expenses as well as their carbon footprint. It makes for happier and healthier chickens and more nutritious eggs. Preventing free-ranging would also prevent the use of chicken tractors. A chicken tractor is a moveable cage that can be used to keep chickens in a smaller area for the day to help with things like tilling the ground, removing moss, aerating grass, fertilizing the soil, pest control without losing garden plants and more. Limiting the number of birds. The number of chickens a family needs to benefit them varies greatly. For some families, three hens might be plenty. For a multi-generational family like ours with four adults and five growing boys, keeping three hens for eggs is like keeping a chihuahua in a purse and calling it our sled team. We can easily go through two dozen eggs a day. A hen's peak laying years are 1-3. If a family wants to keep their pet for life rather than culling it at three years old, they are left with no eggs for 3-5 more years. Requiring a permit. This is just more paperwork and hours the city has to put in. Not allowing "livestock." I'll speak to my specific knowledge here, goats. Nigerian Dwarf goats are the size of a medium dog when full grown. They are amazing for keeping grass and weeds down as well as removing noxious weeds like blackberries and ivy. They are also milk goats, making them an essential part of any self-sustainability goals. They can also wear pajamas and who doesn't need that mental health boost?! The Tigard Nuisance codes already in place protect community members from having to deal with things like smell, noise and rats. Offering new poultry/livestock owners some education on how to stay within these codes would add to this protection without restricting the community's rights to food security. Tigard is currently working to fight climate change and reduce carbon emissions. Growing food and keeping chickens, ducks, goats, etc. is a huge part of a goal like this. Restricting the current poultry/livestock ordinance would have Tigard contradicting itself. I appreciate your time.

This message was sent from outside your organization. Hello, Enclosed is another reason for banning backyard chickens. Not only do they attract rats, as posted in Tigardlife, (and both the major and councilman Goodhouse actually went to check it out,) but they also attract coyotes. I understand that all the building of homes is taking away their living areas, but do we need to attract them even more with chickens? The following was posted on Nextdoor by a Bull Mountain neighbor. She is more concerned about her chickens, I am more concerned with people's cats and small dogs that are disappearing. And the rat problem too. I understand that SW 141st and 144th are in unincorporated washington county, so not sure if this is the correct place to send my concern. If not, please tell me where. Thank you for your time, Tracey Etzel Posted on Nextdoor on 4/27/2022. "Coyote attacking animals. We have a coyote that is going in the backyards of 141st and 144th. Comes up the hill towards Bull Mountain and goes back down. It attacked our chickens in their run which has extra high wire around it. It looks like it jumped up into a tree to get in the run. Luckily the chicken has survived (it had to drop the chicken to climb the fence to get out).This was Sunday early but this morning at 9 it was back. Luckily we added more wire where it got in but it was searching for another way in. I know lots of neighbors with chickens, cats and small dogs. Keep an eye out for your animals."

Allow sender I Block sender Councilors, My name is Roger Potthoff. I live at 11710 SW Ann St.,Tigard. I hope you are all well, and enjoying the richness of spring. I know that such enjoyment is in no small part rooted in each of us taking responsibility and care for the health and safety of our community. Of course, we, none of us individually or collectively, can foresee and act on all of the risks and perils that are out there. But I think we all know that so many of the perils we face, are related to human behaviors. Whether those behaviors result in horrendous, tragic criminal acts, (you know what I'm talking about), or behaviors that lack criminal malice but grow out of a negligent disregard for one's individual responsibility to be well informed; to not "ignore the facts and hope for the best," but rather to act with prudence "to embrace the facts, and DO ONE'S BEST." To ACT to protect and maintain the health and safety of one's family, neighbors and the community at large. If only we could know with reasonable certainty, that no matter how different each of us may be in our attitudes and beliefs, in our perceptions of individual liberties and responsibilities as citizens, we ALL would, no matter what, accept some level of fact-based, duly enforced regulation of our behaviors - our lifestyle preferences that, on the facts, put our neighbors and our community at risk. But instead, we know we cannot count on everyone in this community to educate themselves to the facts, especially facts which do not support their existing attitudes and beliefs. Nor can we count on people to modify their perilous behaviors without regulatory mandates. For clear evidence of this fact, look no further than Ann St. In context. let's not forget or ignore the culture war(s) that contributed to no small degree to a Covid pandemic death toll in the USA of 1,000,000 deaths, and still the number climbs. As the elected leaders of this community, please don't abdicate your authority, please don't fail to put in place prudent regulations to protect the health, safety and livability of this community. The choice is not and cannot be a choice between Flawless and Lawless. Reasonable and Prudent will do fine. Here is an article that suggests some prudent preventive measures applicable to backyard chickens. Regulation and enforcement is necessary, and I hasten to add that chickens are not the sole concern. haps://centraloregondaily.com/bird-avian-flu-oregon-linn-countv1 Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get Outlook for Android DISCLAIMER: E-mails sent or received by City of Tigard employees are subject to public record laws.

I love them as a pet and not for any meat or a need for eggs.They are basically outdoor cats to me- make sure they have clean water,food, clean up their"litter", enjoy their company, and if you are lucky- have one that chooses to show their love for you. Over the years I have learned many things and overcame some obstacles. Here is what has worked for me: • I have not had more than 4 at a time. BUT they are social animals-they cannot be a lone chicken.They need a flock. I believe that 3 is the absolute minimum but when you have age related diseases/reproductive diseases/environmental diseases/accidental deaths-you have to make sure they are friends for those still around. It is not as easy as getting 1 or 2 more and adding-they need time to get to know each other and establish a pecking order. When I introduced 2 new girls to my 2 existing a while back- it took about a month before I was able to get them to sleep in the same coop without any unnecessary aggression. --I know the number of chickens will be talked about with any regulation talks so this is very important to consider. • Size of coop/living area - I currently have a dog kennel set up with netting over the top (predator protection), a covered section (for the rainy days), a small coop that is big enough for all of them, a play pool thing full of sand for dust baths,they're food container, calcium, grit, and water. In my experience, having access to dirt/sand for they're dirt baths (necessary) and grass is very important to them. With the ever many rainy days, having a covered area large enough for them to enjoy their day is also important. I know there are equations of X sqft per chicken is good enough but there is also a quality of life sqft per chicken. While I don't think that specifics should be regulated, with this process I believe a good "handbook" of suggestions for healthy chicken living would be a great thing to compile and have along with any regulations. For my girls and what I think brings them the most happiness is about a 10'x15' area with a good part of that covered and access to grass-whether that is in their enclosure or if they have access (I supervise any access because of predators-again, my girls are family and I want them to be safe and happy).The city of Hillsboro has the most regulation I have noticed for the surrounding areas-they allow 3 chickens between 7,000-10,000 sqft lots-when looking for houses myself I had 4 (which I think is the perfect number for especially a lot that size) I had to look past so many houses especially lots at 9,000 sqft because I had 1 more chicken. I like Forest Grove's approach of"A resident may keep up to four(4) adult fowls (chickens, ducks, pheasants and quails three months of age or older) on a lot with a minimum area of 5,000 square feet. One additional adult fowl is allowed for each 2,000 square feet of additional lot area, up to a maximum of 12 fowl in accordance with city code." As a chicken owner already, this made the most sense of number/sqft lot. • Food - I have had issues with rats... I had not noticed for a long time and by the time I did, it was a pain in the butt to manage- but I will preface by saying I was next to Fanno Creek as well as in a neighborhood with a lot of bird feeders. When I did everything on the chicken side possible to manage rats-they just went to the wild bird feeders-wild birds make a mess and drop seeds all the time. I also had a neighbor's persimmon tree drop fruit on my side of the fence and found little teeth marks in that fruit-chickens do not create rat problems.They are already around for various reasons. Chickens are an easy target.They being said,without good practices, rats l000vvveee chicken food especially scratch food (whole grains vs pellets).The best feeder I have found and would like you to strongly suggest with any regulations is this-- https://www.amazon.com/gpJproduct/B07MQW8MQK/ref=ppx yo dt b asin title o09 s00? ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also recommend 1 feeded per 2-4 chickens (only about 3 can feed at a time). I also recommend pellet foods for A)the rat reason and B)the scratch food has dust that piles up in that feeder. Having this feeder as well as not leaving any scraps out (veggies/fruits) at night I believe that is the best way for success at preventing any issues. I have not noticed any issues with this format.This feeder does not spill anything and I have tested it out with a coffee cup around 11b (size of adult rat) and it does not budge but does allow my 31b girl to be able to open it. • Waste-storage and composting (though again have to make sure it is rat proof because of the scraps and not because of chickens). Really, it doesn't stink too much except for right away(but name any animals without smelly poop...) and when it's wet (in my opinion, dog poop smells way more when fresh and when wet that chickens') Cleanliness is also a necessity for the chicken's healthy lives so as a smart and loving chicken "tender",this is a part of having them in your life. I strongly believe that nothing should be over regulated unless you have knowledge of the situation. This is why I am sharing as much detail as possible. I do not think having chickens is any cause for concern with the right education. I am unsure what everyone else's opinion is (those for and against- but I would like to know that the against have the proper education on the subject as well), but if there will be actual rules/laws to follow other than they way it is set up now, I hope to see: I am not opposed to a permit. I wish there was at least an education/best practices/handbook online and with permit process (if permit). I believe that any of the negative opinions of chickens or lack of care/maintenance of chicken properties are a lack of education. If lots/number of chickens come up, that it is a similar set up to Forest Grove. I welcome you to my home and to see and learn for yourself.They are amazing creatures with such personality that I want to make sure that A) I do not have to give them up because of any regulation and B)want other people to understand how special they are.

From: Hot Mess Homestead NW Sent: Thursday,June 23, 2022 4:38 PM To: Hope Pollard Subject: Re: Visit Hot Mess Homestead It was wonderful to see everyone yesterday and I hope it gave you some ideas and/or answered some questions. I am happy to answer any additional questions that you may have. In regards to our coop size and the size of our fenced animal area: I feel our fenced off animal area(50' x 32' = 1,600 Sq.Ft.)gives all our animals plenty of room to explore, spread out and not be crowded. I don't think I would add any additional animals in the current space for more than a few months,but if we had new chicks to add(and planned on removing the same number of adults when the babies were laying)or a goat give birth to a handful of kids that were finding new homes when weaned,I don't feel I would need to expand the space.Let's break it down using some common recommendations: How many square feet per chicken should a coop be?This depends on a few different things(coop setup,climate,coop setup, size of the birds and if they have access to additional space during the day.)A common range given is 2-5 square feet per chicken if they are allowed time outside the coop.We keep about 50 birds(chickens,ducks and quail)in a 10 x 16 coop(160 square feet)that has a 3.5 x 7' "duck house" attachment(25 Sq.Ft.)That is a total of 185 Sq. Ft. Or 3.7 Sq. Ft.Per bird. But if we include the additional square footage like the area under the enclosed part of the coop(40 Sq.Ft.)or the area on top of the quail cages where some of the birds sleep(10 Sq. Ft.)we get a total of 235 Sq.Ft.)which is 4.7 Sq. Ft.Per bird. Most resources refer to the"coop"as the area with solid walls and the"run"as the fenced in area attached to the"coop."I am using the square footage of our coop and run combined as our"coop square footage"because in our mild climate most of the birds rarely sleep in the enclosed part of the coop at any time of year.The birds have access to all of it when they are locked up at night. If we think it will be too cold we can cover the run with greenhouse plastic,but we have not had to do that yet. I mention this specific wording because it will matter when it comes time to draft any new ordinance. We lock our birds in the coop/run at night and let them out to free range in the morning. In my opinion we have more than enough space for all of our birds in the coop/run,even if we had to keep them locked up for a couple days. For miniature goats,like our Nigerian Dwarf goats,who are kept in a dry lot(no pasture,all the hay/feed they need is brought to them)as ours are,it is suggested to have around 200 square feet per goat. Our five goats have about 320 square feet each in the fenced in area. Available square footage could be a good way to limit the number of animals allowed,but you would need to be careful with the wording. Our animals share their space during the day. The coop/run area is within the"dry lot"area for the goats,but is left open all day so they do have access to it and occasionally use it for shade or shelter from the rain. They also have multiple covered areas for them outside of the chicken coop/run. It is best for poultry and livestock sleeping quarters(where they are locked up at night)to be separate areas,but they can easily share a larger space during the day. If I take the total square footage of our fenced in animal area, 1,600 Sq. Ft.And give each of the five goats 200 Sq.Ft. That would leave 12 Sq. Ft.For each bird. In my opinion, 10 Sq.Ft.Per bird of where they spend most of their day is plenty. If we are looking at a possible ordinance requiring a specific square footage per animal(which I would much prefer over restricting the type of animal and/or a"one size fits all" limit on how many,)I would put birds in one category and require 10 Sq. Ft. each,miniature breed livestock in another and require 200 Sq. Ft. Each and regular/large livestock in a third (https://www.nres.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/nres142p2_024781.pdf). I would make babies under six months old exempt from these requirements. I would base it on the square footage available to the animal during the day and not necessarily"coop" specific.I would offer education on proper coop sizing and fence options. I feel strongly that education for both sides of this discussion should be the main focus! Looking forward to seeing you all Wednesday,thanks again and hope this helps!

Pros for Urban Agriculture: Provides food for property owner and possibly friends and neighbors Reduces Climate Change Greenhouse Gases (GHG) by not needing to transport these foods long distances. Food is probably healthier since probably organic and minimal if any herbicides, pesticides,fertilizers are used. Better for the local waterways since minimal water pollution runoff compared to large farms. Gardening can be beneficial to people by providing exercise and the mental plusses of being in nature Community Gardens would be great in Tigard's open spaces and maybe even lease out to people that will sell produce at Tigard Farmers markets. Also, many schools are adopting neighborhood gardents. Cons(with possible solutions) against Urban Agriculture: Animals can get off property and bother neighbors. (ensure property is well fenced with adequate height and no possibility of digging underneath) Animal and plant waste can attract nuisance animals (rats). Owners need to ensure area is kept clean. Urban Agriculture can be an eyesore to neighbors. Owners need to ensure area is kept clean with a buffer between the streets and neighbors and the Urban agriculture site. Please let me you need Clarification on any of these points. Thanks Ken Barker Tigard Resident Items below were copied from Tigard newsletter. What is Urban Agriculture? Urban agriculture can be anything from planting strawberries and raising chickens for your family's personal supply to beekeeping and raising goats for commercial sale of products—all within your own backyard.

Besides the number of chickens, goats and geese, etc., the area is filled with many extra items necessary to feed and provide care for the animals making the area very unsightly. 2) Feeding chickens brings on rats and rats are now an issue in the surrounding neighborhood area. 3)The unsightly area is a cause for lower home values and should not be part of a residential neighborhood. 4) A large concern is for the problem with the animal waste and the storm drains when it rains. Oregon is known for rain, thus a big issue! Chickens produce a great deal of waste. If a family owns a dog they must pick up their dog's waste when they take their dog on a walk. Why not a rule that meets the waste of "farm" animals who are housed in a neighborhood in the city? 5) We understand that some city dwellers wish to have aa few chickens and we are not against that provided there are rules that limit the number. Chickens bring on rats and therefore the limited number should be small. We suggest 3 or 4 to a residence lot and located so they are not in the view of neighbors. The owner should be required to obtain a permit or license. It is time that the backyard guidelines for "farm" animals be written in a clear statement and enforced for those who violate the rule. Farm animals need space and should be located on designated land designed for farm animals. 6) We are hopeful that a decision can finally be put in place to define the issue of backyard chicken/animals within the city limits of Tigard and follow the lead and guidelines of surrounding cities such as Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, etc. The time is now to make clear the guidelines and rules of enforcement.

We will keep you updated on the project progress and you will get ample notice of upcoming opportunities to provide further input on the project. Regarding your concerns about our Code Compliance program, you raised two particular issues last night. One, that Code Compliance has not sufficiently responded to your complaint on the residence at 11650 SW Ann St. You base this claim on your interpretation of the use of the terms "that may attract," found in Tigard Municipal Code Title 6, 6.02.150. And two, you are frustrated with the pace of code enforcement actions on other properties for which you have filed complaints. On issue number one, I respectfully disagree with you on the interpretation of"may attract." A literal interpretation of this terminology would result in a ridiculous situation where every single property in Tigard, including your own, would have some aspect that may attract insects or rodents. Anything from having a garbage can outside your residence to any number of common garden plants or trees may attract insects or rodents. This is a non-starter. I have reviewed Ken Ross's work on this compliance case, visited the site myself, and have observed that the situation at 11650 SW Ann St. is no longer in violation of 6.02.150 and will not be in violation as long as they continue to maintain their grounds in a manner that does not aid the propagation of insects or rodents. The City has legal and police power authority to enforce the code in a reasonable manner. I have discussed this issue with our City Attorney and she is in concurrence. I'm sorry if you disagree but this issue is settled. On issue number two, property owners that are the subject of a code violation citation are entitled to due process under the law. Our practice is to notify owners of a violation and allow them time to correct the violation. In some cases it is difficult for the owner to rapidly respond to the violation. For example, there have been multiple instances where the property owners were senior citizens and they were physically not able to correct the issue. In such cases, Ken Ross has enlisted the help of volunteers, often their neighbors, to help with clean-up and repair efforts. As long as progress is continually being made with a violation case and the property owner is not stonewalling, it meets our standard of practice. Likely not the answers you were hoping for but that is the reality of the situation nonetheless. Finally, the City is committed to maintaining respectful interactions for our staff and the public. Your conduct towards Ken Ross at the open house was inappropriate, as is the tone of your email. The City will not engage with you in the future unless this conduct is corrected.

Ms. Pollard, I have taken fotos this evening (see zip link below) following our conversation at the meeting and in follow-up to, and in support of providing perspective to your "can't we all just Hope to get along" mantra regarding what you call the "Sprague Farm" located at 11650 SW Ann St. (zone R-1) which is home to 40 chickens, ducks, quail, 4 goats, 3 dogs, a 60 year old septic system, open obivious to all storage of junk, and evidence of conditions that "MAY BE attractive to insects and rodents" (see TMC Nuisance Code Chap 6.02.15.) I wish we could all ignore the facts regarding the above conditions, and just Hope for the best that will magically get better, but this is planet Earth. (Sorry, about capitalizing the word Hope, I mean no disrespect.) I have hope! I have worked hard for my hope(s), as has my wife, other people in this neighborhood, other people in my life, near and far, younger and older (a shrinking crowd - but the COT shouldn't get their hopes up, I have no plans to leave.) There are many people for whom I have so much affection and respect, neighbors included. And I am sympatico with their hopes and with all of their efforts to realize the peace and dignity that they/we deserve in living here. We are not the ones bring blite upon this neighborhood. So, for myself and these people, please know that I extend myself not just a little, but a lot(!) to help assure that what reasonable hopes they have, what assistance they need in pursuit of safety, wellness and dignity, will not fail. Most of us living here care (me for sure) about those deep-rooted hopes. They still matter. Please note, as knew to Oregon as you may be, that in Oregon, in Washington County, there is a thin line,just a short distance away from Tigard, that is then Urban Growth Boundary(UGB)! As a planner you know that there are two sides to every boundary. Hmmm? Farms and a rural lifestyle on one side, and urban-suburban R-1 and higher density on the other. Hmmm? And on what side of the UGB is the "Sprague Farm" located? Hmmm? Anyway, I am one of the elders of this community, one the Atomic Blondes (formerly known as Grey or White Haired dottering of folk) but that notwithstanding please don't thing that Urban Livestock will do anything more for Tigard, than: i) camping under bridges in Portlandia, and ii) long ago free-love, LSD and rose-tinted glasses in Haight Ashbury, or iii) the "who cares, be glad you don't live there" planning ethos of Cabrini-Green in Chicago did to improve the status quo in those places. , (Did they cover all that in your Urban Planning case studies, or is that why your here?) Setting aside age bias (you and me both perhaps) and the bitterness you (not me) must feel about student loan indebtedness, I'm almost humbly asking you to you explore and consider what evidence I give, what photographic truths I offer, and extend to us who have been here for decades, growing this community, this neighborhood, the respect we deserve and not ignore the facts as you Hope for the best. If you promise to do that I will give you a compass and map to find exactly where the UGB exists today. Please tell me when you can accommodate my request for an on-site visit to 11710 SW Ann St., an audit, so to speak, I've had compliance requests pending since May, 2015. In the meantime the conditions at 3 of the 4 properties surrounding my home have all been cause for concern -you'll see. I will arrange my schedule in accord with your own to explore with you what a lack of code enforcement, convenient as it may be for some, ends up looking like. New regulations, is that what the COT things is a first priorty? Let's see how the COT is doing on enforcing the existing regs, unenforced regulation erodes respect for the law and for the institution(s) responsible for that enforcement and regulation. So before going through that prolonged process of adding to the regs we should demonstrate that the COT has the will and ability to enforce existing regs. Please let me know when you dare to venture forth from the cubicle of your inspiration. I'll be here. Don't forget to check out the photos via the link below. They bear today's date and time, taken just after I returned home from another inspiring get together with COT staff.

Looked like a lot of concern was around chickens. Attendees tended to prefer ordinances that limited the number of animals based on lot size. Attendees focused primarily on chickens, since these appear to be the livestock most commonly held by Tigard residents, but they also submitted feedback on goats, pigs, bees, and large livestock. While these numbers tended to be in the low range (around 3-6 of each animal maximum), most commenters welcomed discussion and provided constructive feedback for how to allow a reasonable number of livestock on a residential property. One attendee made plans to visit the Sprague residence to learn more about the reality of urban livestock. Many respondents also advocated for requiring a permit, education, or other community- building opportunities to aid urban farmers in keeping their property in good repair and the animals safe. Concerns mainly revolved around noise, pests, enforcement procedures, and protecting chickens from predators. Attaching the final post-it boards and PDF versions of the finished boards for additional context.These will be published with the staff report for the July 18/19 briefings with Planning Commission and City Council. --Also, can you tell me if staff will have some general recommendations to the Tigard Planning Commission on regulations on July 18 or is it more informational? Staff will introduce the above findings to the Planning Commission and City Council on July 18 and 19. We will also recommend continuing to work with the community to build out detailed code regulations, but we will not be making detailed recommendations at this time. Something along the following is what we'll be including in our staff report: Staff recommends continuing to build regulations with the community. Following initial research and outreach, staff recommends these regulations limit the number of animals based on the size of a lot; include specific regulations for enclosures, noise, pests, and enforcement; and include a permit requirement that allows for clear enforcement. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!

I'm not sure about how other cities manage or prevent urban ag waste from getting into water bodies.That's something I can look into as I research to build out our code. Something I've heard from some community members who have their own farm operations going, is that they consider local farming is a good/less wasteful alternative to large scale agriculture that contributes more waste to waterways. Something I need to research more, though, and would love your feedback on. There will likely be a community advisory group for our larger HOME project (our current work on urban ag is considered "phase 1" of this project).The project will look at all sorts of nonresidential activity in residential neighborhoods—including getting more into depth with any items we may not get totally right with this first go at regulations for urban ag.

My suggestion was principally that the city consider the impact of restrictions and enhanced building codes relative to low income or minority communities that may keep animals (most likely poultry) as a way to help them feed their families. I had the honor of mentoring a low-income teenager whose family were recent Vietnamese immigrants. They kept three hens in the yard in cat carriers. These helped keep the hens safe at night while not being terribly expensive to get set up. I worry that if there are particular codes setting an ideal standard for coop construction, it could get very expensive, very quickly. I spent over a thousand dollars on my coop and run many years ago. I don't regret that, but I do worry that many others would not be able to afford that amount.

Is There a Correlation Between Rodents and Backyard Chickens? Julene Reese 08/24/2018 fl August 23,2018 Is There a Correlation between Backyard Chickens and Increased Rodent Populations? Several cities along the Wasatch Front have recently passed ordinances allowing urban residents to raise backyard chickens.In a story by the Associated Press last December,a link was shown between an explosion in the rat population in Eugene,Oregon,and the growth in backyard chicken ranching.Residents there reported seeing more rats,and in areas where they haven't been before.Pest control companies in the area also reported a brisk spike in business. However,surprisingly,over this same time period,there were no increased reports of infectious diseases that can be traced to rats,including bubonic plague,hantavirus,leptosporosis and rat- y ,. bite fever. • According to Terry Messmer,Utah State University Extension wildlife specialist,humans can get these diseases if they are bitten by an infected rat or if they inhale or ingest microorganisms in the rat's feces or urine. In trying to understand why there was an increase in rat populations but not in the diseases they carry,Messmer said most cities have ordinances designed to prohibit conditions that attract rodents.Such ordinances require the rancher to rodent-proof chicken coops and outbuildings that contain food,and they prohibit ranchers from storing garbage unless it is stored in rodent-proof containers.They also grant city employees the authority to make inspections and issue notices of violation. Messmer said a review of the current scenario suggests factors that have created a"perfect rodent storm."Factors include sanitation, exclusion and control—or the lack thereof,on the part of backyard chicken ranchers. "Rodents are prolific breeders,"he said."They readily capitalize on new opportunities for food,cover and water.Rats generally only prey on chicks and eggs,but if you have a serious infestation and food is scarce,they will raid coops at night and attack juvenile and adult birds.Rats kill by biting the head or neck of their prey.Parts of the chicken's body may be eaten,and the corpses may be pulled into burrows or other concealed locations for feeding." Messmer said it's possible that rats won't be seen unless there is a severe problem,as they are shy and generally come out only at night. If they are around,you may be able to spot chewing damage on coops.Rats are also great burrowers and can enter a coop or run from below. "Don't create conditions that attract rodents,raccoons or skunks to your yard,"he said."Remove feeders and waterers each night and replace them in the morning.While your chickens won't want to eat or drink at night,rats will,so make sure they are not attracted to your area by seed from wild bird feeders,or cat or dog food left out overnight.And if you spill food,clean it up.If rodents have a food source,they will set up camp for the long term." In addition,Messmer said to store chicken feed in rodent-proof containers.Rodents,raccoons and skunks are more likely to chew through wood than plastic,and more likely to chew through plastic than metal. As far as exclusion,Messmer said that chicken wire is not a barrier to predators.Most predators can tear through it and rats can bite through the thin wire.Smaller rodents will simply squeeze through the holes.Chicken wire should only be used to keep chickens in,not to keep predators out.Instead,use tightly woven mesh hardware cloth that is one-fourth to one-half inch for the best protection. "If you see gnawing damage on your coop,staple hardware cloth around the damaged area so rodents won't get through,"he said. "Also consider wiring the bottom of your run,burying the bottom of your fence or providing an apron so they can't enter the coop from below.Since rats,raccoons and even skunks can climb fences,the only way to completely exclude them from the chicken yard is to enclose the top,bottom and sides."

I agree 1/2 "If you have done all the above and still have rodents,consider population control,"he said."Simple wood-base snap traps baited with peanut butter work well.If you use toxicants,they must be used with a tamper-proof bait box so that chickens,pets and people aren't at risk for poisoning.Pets can also get poisoned second hand by getting ahold of a poisoned rodent,he said.A bait box will keep the rodent contained so it can't leave and die in a wall or beneath your house or coop and decompose there."

The municipal zoning ordinance is generally the best location for backyard chicken regulations because it is regulated as an accessory use to a residence. This model zoning ordinance is not applicable to commercial poultry activities subject to Pennsylvania Act 38 "The Agriculture, Communities and Rural Environment Act of 2005"(ACRE), which (among other provisions) gives farmers the right to ask the Pennsylvania State Attorney General's office to review local ordinances that they feel unlawfully restrict normal agricultural operations or ownership. This model zoning ordinance is set up from a Township standpoint and applies a special exception process. The regulation of backyard chickens typically occurs in townships, although some boroughs do allow the use in limited circumstances in low density districts. The special exception process allows neighbors to offer comments during a public hearing. However, because of the additional costs for special exception applications, rural municipalities and others may choose to permit backyard chickens as a "by-right"use, subject to listed conditions. A MODEL TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE: RAISING AND KEEPING OF CHICKENS WHEREAS, the Township permits various accessory structures and land uses; and, WHEREAS, the raising and keeping of chickens on a non-commercial basis at a residential property, and their associated henhouses, coops and runs are appropriate accessory uses if certain conditions are met; and, WHEREAS, the Township desires to ensure that the raising and keeping of chickens and their associated structures are conducted in a way as to not adversely affect the safety and general welfare of the citizens of the Township, and not create any public nuisance. NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED AND ENACTED, by the Township Board of Supervisors, as follows: Section 1. Definitions. (Note: These definitions should be placed in the definitions section of the zoning ordinance.) A. Chicken run or pen: A fenced or other type of enclosure that is mostly open to the elements, for the purpose of allowing chickens to leave the henhouse or coop while remaining in a predator-safe environment. The chicken run or pen is typically attached to the henhouse or chicken coop. B. Domesticated chicken: A subspecies of the species Gallus domesticus. C. Henhouse or chicken coop: A structure providing shelter for chickens which is completely enclosed. A MODEL TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE:RAISING AND KEEPING OF CHICKENS Chester County Planning Commission 05/18/17 1 Section 2. Purpose and General Regulations. A. Purpose. The purpose of this article is to provide minimum standards for the keeping of domesticated chickens. This article enables residents to keep chickens on a non- commercial basis as an accessory use to a residence, while limiting the adverse effects of the activity on surrounding properties. Such adverse effects can include noise, odors, unsanitary conditions, attraction of predators, chickens running at large, unsightly conditions, and similar adverse conditions. B. Special Exception Required. The keeping of domesticated chickens may be permitted as an accessory use to a single-family dwelling by special exception, and a zoning permit shall be required. C. Additional Reasonable Conditions May be Attached. In granting a special exception, the Township Zoning Hearing Board may attach such reasonable conditions and safeguards, in addition to those expressed in this Ordinance, as it may deem necessary to implement the purposes of the Township Zoning Ordinance. (Note: reasonable conditions may include the provision of landscaping or fencing to screen views of the activity, and increased setbacks.) D. Periodic Inspection. The Township may periodically inspect the facility, upon reasonable notice, to ensure that all conditions of the special exception are continuously met. E. Non-commercial Use Only. Domesticated chickens shall be kept for non-commercial purposes only; however, the incidental sale of eggs is not prohibited, provided that all other Township regulations relating to the accessory sales are met (Note: The Township would regulate the incidental sales of eggs as it would regulate a typical roadside vegetable stand). F. Enclosed Structure Required. Chickens shall be kept in an enclosed structure at all times. No chicken shall be permitted to roam freely. Section 3. Lot Size and Limits on Numbers of Chickens. (Note: This Section is intended to apply primarily to suburban municipalities. Rural and agricultural communities may vary the minimum lot size regulations and increase the number of chickens that are permitted by lot area. Furthermore, the municipality should decide which districts will permit backyard chickens. We recommend that this activity be limited to residential districts that permit single-family detached dwellings; backyard chickens are usually not appropriate in multi-family or mixed-use districts.) A. Minimum lot size. One acre. (Note: Some municipalities have chosen to allow chickens on lots smaller than one acre and limit the number of chickens accordingly. Each municipality should determine what they deem most appropriate for their community.) B. Number of chickens per lot. 1. Three chickens shall be permitted for the first one acre. 2. One additional chicken shall be permitted for each additional 1/4 acre, up to a maximum of 20 chickens per lot. 3. Notwithstanding Section 3.B.2., there shall be no limit on the number of chickens on lots over five acres. (Note: Municipalities may impose a reasonable maximum limit on the number of chickens on larger lots, but it may not be necessary to do so for A MODEL TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE:RAISING AND KEEPING OF CHICKENS Chester County Planning Commission 05/18/17 2 lots where the potential for neighborhood disturbance is limited; this is a matter of municipal discretion.) 4. No rooster shall be permitted on any lot less than five acres. (Note: Some municipalities impose a complete ban on roosters.) C. Setbacks. 1. Chicken runs, pens, henhouses and chicken coops shall be set back from all adjacent residences that are not occupied by the applicant by not less than seventy- five (75)feet and by not less than fifty (50) feet from any lot line. (Note: Municipalities choosing to allow chickens on smaller lot sizes may choose to lower these setbacks. Also, the municipality should check the required setbacks for other accessory structures and amend their ordinance as necessary to indicate which setback takes precedence. This could be the more restrictive of the two, or they may want to make an exception specific to the use.) 2. Chicken henhouses and coops shall be set back not less than twenty (20) feet from the applicant's residence. 3. All structures relating to chickens shall be located to the rear of the residence. 4. No facility for storing manure or feed shall be located within one hundred (100) feet of any adjacent residence not occupied by the applicant and not less than fifty (50) feet from any lot line. ,rid ' a 4fel . 100'min.to ' • Jany adjacent . dwelling chicken 50'min. coop/run _ from any _* lot line .� o I •manure and \� } `a• • fA [food storage E" E t 20' I A' _ c min. ffC _�� • "E v E m I Art. 0 Y 75'min.from any adjacent dwelling property 50'min.from any lot line line c ken coo I va d A 15O'min. . 120' A' from any min. lot line manure and 100'min.to J food storage any adjacent rrr dwelling A MODEL TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE:RAISING AND KEEPING OF CHICKENS Chester County Planning Commission 05/18/17 3 Section 4. Structures, Chicken Pens, Runs, and Coops. A. Enclosed and Predator Resistant Structure. Chicken runs, pens, henhouses and coops shall be enclosed and constructed of durable materials to prevent entry by predators or the escape of chickens. All walls and ceiling and roof areas shall also be protected against entry by predators. B. Construction Materials. Chicken pens, henhouses and chicken coops shall be constructed of weather-resistant that can readily be cleaned and maintained and kept in good appearance. C. Prevention of Entry by Burrowing. A horizontal at-grade area not less than one (1)foot in width along the interior or exterior perimeter of the chicken run or pen shall be composed of chain link or other material to prevent entry by burrowing predators. Alternatively, a barrier to burrowing not less than one (1)foot in depth may be placed along the perimeter of the chicken run or pen. D. Elevation of Structures. Henhouses and chicken coops shall be elevated at least 18 inches above grade, with an elevated floor that will prevent entry by predators. The applicant shall provide details of how manure will be properly cleaned from henhouse and chicken coop floors. E. No External Illumination. The exterior areas of henhouses and chicken coops shall not be illuminated. F. Minimum Area per Chicken in Henhouse or Coop. The henhouse or chicken coop shall provide not less than one square foot (144 square inches) of area per chicken, as well as separate roosting or egg-laying areas. G. Minimum Area per Chicken Run or Pen. A chicken run or pen shall be provided and be large enough to allow freedom of movement, but shall provide not less than four (4) square feet per chicken. H. Feed and Water Required. Adequate feed and water shall be continuously provided, with protection against freezing. Section 5. Conduct of the Owner. A. Banding. (Note: Some municipalities require the banding of chicken's legs with the owner's name, telephone number and other information. This is not recommended because bands large enough to include significant information are typically not commercially available, and chickens are not permitted to roam freely. Additionally, it is difficult and may be dangerous to attempt to catch a roaming chicken in order to inspect its leg band.) B. Odor and Noise. Odors shall not be perceptible at the lot line. Noise shall not be perceptible at lot lines to the extent that it results in a public nuisance or is in violation of the municipal noise ordinance. C. Waste and manure storage and removal. A written waste storage and removal plan shall be submitted. All stored manure shall be placed within a fully enclosed container. No A MODEL TOWNSHIP ZONING ORDINANCE:RAISING AND KEEPING OF CHICKENS Chester County Planning Commission 05/18/17 4 more than three cubic feet of manure shall be stored. All other manure not used for composting or fertilizing shall be removed. The henhouse, chicken run and pen and surrounding area must be kept free from trash and accumulated manure. D. Mortality. Dead animals shall be disposed of promptly and consistent with applicable waste disposal regulations of the municipality. E. Slaughtering. Slaughtering of chickens shall be conducted in a fully-enclosed structure. F. Description of how the Backyard Chicken Activity will be conducted. (Note: This discretionary option may give the municipality a good assessment of how thoroughly an applicant has considered the proposed backyard chicken activity.) The applicant shall describe how the chickens will be cared for, and shall elaborate on the following: 1. how the facility will be maintained on a routine basis, 2. routine collection of eggs, 3. continuous provision of fresh food and water supplies, 4. waste collected and removal, 5. amounts of mulch or animal bedding, 6. how complaints from neighbors will be addressed, and 7. other matters that the Township Zoning Hearing Board wishes to consider. Section 6. Severability. In the event that any section, subsection or portion of this article shall be declared to by any competent court to be invalid for any reason, it is the intent of the Township that all other sections, subsections or portions of this article shall remain valid. Section 7. Validity and Effective Date. To the extent that this ordinance is inconsistent with any other portion of the Township's zoning ordinance, the provisions of this ordinance will take precedence. This ordinance shall become effective immediately upon enactment.

March2018 cliniciansbrief.com 61 From: Joy Mahon, 12095 SW 118th Ave., Tigard, OR 97223 To: City of Tigard Planning Commission, City Council, City Staff Livability and Planning Depts. Subject: Urban Agriculture— Livestock Date: July 16, 2022 My name is Joy Mahon, 77 years ago as a three-year-old I lived in the old house that is located on the corner of 121st Ave. and Walnut. My parents had eight and a half acres of farmland. My mother and father always raised chickens for food and eggs, and calves, and pigs for meat. My dad always planted a field of hay for the animals. In 1944 that is how many in the community of Tigard lived. I have seen many changes over my 77 years in Tigard. We have grown into the 704th largest city in the United States. With this growth, we as a community must grow and adapt with our city. Firstly, I want to address that this is not a personal attack on any individual that chooses to raise livestock and poultry in our community. I happen to know a neighbor who rescues and raises livestock and poultry. She is a compassionate, well-informed, and kind-hearted person. I do not wish to speak ill of her, or of her way of life. I do, however, want regulations that protect all. A recent article in "Tigard Life" has highlighted the necessity of proper city ordinances to address livestock and poultry living conditions. While mentioned before, I am a big supporter of the farming community, as I once lived on a farm. But with anything, there must be proper restrictions to ensure the safety and welfare of our belove community. Upon further research I found no ordinance describing the rules and regulations for our city. However, I did discover that the city of Tualatin has an ordinance which states a maximum of 4 hens can be kept on a lot with proper license; the chicken facility must be located in the rear of the lot and must be a least 10 feet from all property lines and 25 feet from all adjacent residences; also the chicken facility and the place where the chickens are located must be maintained in good repair, in a clean and sanitary condition, and free of vermin, and obnoxious smells and substances that create a nuisance for adjoining properties. Tualatin is located no more than 5 minutes from Tigard city limits, and it is half the size of our city. Why is it that Tigard, listed as the 704th largest city in the United States has not established proper ordinances for the health and safety of our community? We also need to be very aware of our neighbors and neighborhoods. We must adapt to our growing community and put into place clear and concise ordinances that reflect our desire to live in a clean and healthy environment. Thank you for your time.

The documents attached include a Model Township Zoning Ordinance for Keeping and Raising of Chickens, and scholarly articles on the risks backyard chicken/fowl pose both directly and indirectly (through rodents and insects) to public health and safety. I have also attached a copy of Ms. Joy Mahon's statement on this topic. Ms. Mahon delivered her statement to Ms. Hope Pollard and the June 29 Community Discussion. That statement did not include Ms. Mahon's address, and on the attached copy that has been corrected. Ms. Mahon has approved of this correction and accepted my offer to resubmit her statement. I look forward to a constructive dialogue leading to a reasonable regulatory construct with which compliance will be a "want to," not a "have to."

(Comments are due by noon the day of the meeting) Urban Agriculture Comments A clear benefit of our low density is for residents to be able to grow vegetables to eat for themselves and to share with neighbors. Nutrition is an issue in America,as the nutrient density of vegetables in the USA has seen significant decline over the last 70 years due to poor soil and unsustainable agricultural practices. I think we should enable residents to experiment with growing their own vegetables and animal husbandry to certain limits.We should avoid regulations that can be weaponized by neighbors who have outdated views on urban agriculture. Except for roosters. Don't allow any roosters.

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderldentification Hello, Hope. I am writing to you regarding a very important subject. Self sustainability is an important life skill and way to support a family. Especially with gas prices and food prices skyrocketing. Citizens need to be able to have urban agriculture. It reduces waste. It reduces the carbon footprint. It reduces the use of chemical fertilizers. It feeds families and neighbors and friends. It raises responsible members of society. It is a vital necessity for a lot of families. There are even mental health benefits from our friends and neighbors urban flocks. Who doesn't love the gifts of fresh eggs?These tiny joys brighten up our lives in these dark times. Please do not pass laws limiting food and accessibility for people because a tiny handful of people loudly disagree. People need accessibility to food.

It gave instructions on how to call in and a reminder to keep testimony to 3 minutes or less. Had it said calls would not be allowed I would have submitted written testimony and had my supporters do the same. I had testimony prepared and many supporters lined up to call in regarding the poultry/livestock code discussions. I, and many others, tried several times and the recorded message said there was no meeting accepting public comment at that time. Putting together research and testimony,gathering others to do the same and have them call in to a meeting took an incredible amount of time. As Hope and Tom said regarding the in-person events, there can be a lot of interest, but getting people to all show up on a certain day at a certain time is difficult.

Again, so sorry about the miscommunication but please rest assured that the written comments are still very relevant and there is still plenty of time prior to Council making a final decision.

It gave instructions on how to call in and a reminder to keep testimony to 3 minutes or less. Had it said calls would not be allowed I would have submitted written testimony and had my supporters do the same. I had testimony prepared and many supporters lined up to call in regarding the poultry/livestock code discussions. I, and many others, tried several times and the recorded message said there was no meeting accepting public comment at that time. Puffing together research and testimony,gathering others to do the same and have them call in to a meeting took an incredible amount of time. As Hope and Tom said regarding the in-person events,there can be a lot of interest, but getting people to all show up on a certain day at a certain time is difficult. I am curious to know why no calls were taken. Thank you. Kindly, Elizabeth Sprague DISCLAIMER: E-mails sent or received by City of Tigard employees are subject to public record laws.

(Comments are due by noon the day of the meeting) Urban Agriculture Comments I have emailed a full summation of my comments to Hope Pollard,which is on record.While reading others' responses, I see that some of those against chickens are not fully educated on the subject.This is why I stressed education in my response. RE: rats,chickens don't bring rats,they are not created out of thin air. Rats find food- whether that is from your neighbors chickens or your own wild bird feeders, Fanno Creek,etc. Education needs to be there for the livestock owners, if they are aiding the issue, but also for the public to not go straight to assuming chickens=the root of all issues. I also see that people liked the idea of 2 or less-chickens are social animals so 2 is not really realistic,especially when one dies(age, disease,cancer etc).Then you have to integrate more.The number of cats and dogs on a property is not regulated (as far as I can tell)as well as what is done with their waste on property but there are calls for bird poop? Nothing seems to be done about wild bird poop? If anything domestic bird poop is safer because diseases can be treated or contained vs spread through feeders etc. Before making any regulation on an animal, lots of research must be made on the animal and not go by what some people want because that soothes them-that may not be feasible for the animal.That is all I ask.

Learn why this is important Public Testimony: "A PLAGUE TO CALL HOME" POULTRY and LIVESTOCK: Public Health Hazards and Nuisances in Urban Communities 1. Introduction 2. Other Local Cities' Regulations 3. Scientific Reports,Articles, Public Health Data,and History 4.Tigard examples To anyone familiar with "farm animals," poultry and livestock should always be kept in a fenced run or covered shelter, with a specified buffer to the property boundary, and at a safe distance away from any adjacent neighbors, residences, or close dense, urban human populations. [Also, properties with slopes: Dangerous Livestock Manure runoff poses very high risk probability on sloped properties; rain washes manure, e coli bacteria, etc. downhill --onto adjacent properties, and into streams, public ways. Historically, due to advances in science, medicine, and urban planning 100 years ago and the knowledge gained thereby, in the early 20th century, zoning was first implemented in New York, Chicago, Washington DC, and other US cities,to protect the public from 1)farm animal diseases and nuisances, 2) industrial pollution and nuisances, and 3)to protect the livability, appearance, and property values of residential neighborhoods. Decades ago, such residential zoning and distance buffers were specifically created by informed city planners --to protect the public from rampant dangerous "farm animal" diseases (and the insects, parasites, rodents which farm animals attract), numerous animal nuisances, animal cruelty and unlicensed slaughter/butchering, serious and substantial harm to adjacent property values (including equity and real estate market value), environmental harm, and general terrible unsightliness in residential zones. There is clear and abundant evidence of ongoing lawbreaking and public nuisances by selfish poultry and livestock owners in Tigard; further weakening the very nuisance code (as was done in 2018)—designed to protect the public—only made the public hazards and nuisances more pervasive and worse. That was gross negligence and a breach of the public trust, on the part of our city staff and officials. Instead,Tigard should strictly regulate chickens (3 Hens allowed only) and, like Beaverton, prohibit other livestock(i.e. NO Roosters, Pigs, Goats, Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Peacocks,Turkeys, etc.) and "exotic animals." Compared to other local municipalities,Tigard is way behind the times in strengthening animal standards, codifying them, requiring paid permits, specifically banning Roosters (a blatant Noise Nuisance), banning all livestock, and protecting and enforcing the public health, safety, and welfare of the 99%of Tigard citizens who do NOT keep "farm animals." From my own experience and research, I would estimate that less than 1%of Tigard's population is raising "farm animals" (poultry or livestock),whether legally or unlawfully. Of the instances I have myself witnessed, I have not seen a single owner of such animals in full compliance with our existing laws, and in every single instance, I have seen either multiple code violations, ORS Class B criminal misdemeanors (animal neglect, cruelty, and/or prohibited cruel slaughter), public health hazards, pollution of the environment, or other unlawful nuisances and dangers--and the persons most affected and at risk are the adjacent neighbors. A physical buffer with a specified distance is very important to the public health. Whether enforced or not (and Shame on the city for NOT enforcing our Residential Zoning!), at least we used to have that protective buffer(50 feet [chickens] to 100 feet [livestock] from any adjacent neighbor's house). Totally eliminating the nuisance code section (in 2018) requiring'fenced runs' and a '100 foot' distance to a neighbor's house (a longstanding pre-existing nuisance code section which is completely consistent with recently revised Chapter 18 development code), with NOTHING in place to govern such placement or prohibition, and the claim by community development that sometime later, the city might then try to regulate such activities--was an abdication and absolute irresponsible dereliction of public duty, gross incompetence and negligence in public policy making, and a clear and present pandemic DANGER to the citizens of Tigard. Extensive science and medical evidence, and a documented history of poultry and livestock transmitted deadly flu viruses and plagues, support prohibiting livestock in cities and strictly regulating any poultry-- by keeping it away from dense urban human populations. With each foot that a poultry or livestock facility is located closer to human neighbors,the risk of disease transmission and rodents/pests to such adjacent neighbors increases exponentially; that's why a specified buffer for any coop or fenced run (e.g. 20 feet) away from the property boundary is crucial, as well as a required safe buffer(e.g. 50 feet for chickens, 100-200 feet for livestock or livestock Prohibited) away from any adjacent property residences. And clearly any chicken/animal coops and runs and grazing should be prohibited in front and side yards, and conditionally only allowed by a Regulated City paid for Annual PERMIT, and only in backyards of properties with sizable lots, which is the policy in other localities. This is a most serious public health and safety matter, and should be regarded with paramount priority and extreme caution in public policy. In 2015, 35 million chickens had to be killed in the USA to prevent a deadly avian flu outbreak from infecting(and killing) millions of Americans. In 1918, more than 1 million Americans died from animal flu transmitted by backyard chickens and pigs. The incurable flu (with an ineffective vaccine) circulating in 2018 was a variant of such deadly animal flus crossing species,for which we humans have NO immunity--and people are dying from this animal flu. Annually,tens of thousands of Americans are infected by salmonella contracted from chickens and livestock feces. In the 19th century, according to the New York Times, 20,000-22,000 people died each year in New York City alone, from the bacteria in livestock manure transmitted to humans. Animal manure was on the streets, in urban backyards, and in the air particles breathed by New Yorkers, sickening hundreds of thousands and killing 20,000+ people yearly. Such an alarming dreadful and deadly situation (caused by ignorantly keeping poultry and livestock around an urban human population)was the impetus for the public health movement and beginning of urban zoning. The historic Great Plague of medieval Europe was, in fact, an Asian livestock disease transmitted on ships by rodents to Europe, and then transmitted by rodents and insects in Europe to human populations, killing 1/3 of the entire European population,thereby destroying entire cities and countries-- human civilization. The public health and safety is paramount, and must be the absolute top priority of any governance and public policy. The welfare of 99%of our city's population far outweighs the patently selfish desires of the less than 1%of our population who are already willfully violating our [pathetic and weakened] animal regulations, endangering their neighbors, committing persistent public nuisances (or those who would wish to do so in the future). The City of Tigard should NOT be encouraging such selfishness,the city should NOT be wasting any public monies or any staff time in support of or promoting such ignorance or the selfish few, who care not a whit about the public health, sanitation, pests, unsightliness, noise, odor, other nuisances, or their neighbors--except to bribe them with eggs in return for silence (or an official's public support), of course. I support plant-based urban agriculture; it is not harmful to people or the environment, and it does not create nuisances. The keeping of"farm animals" in a dense urban human residential environment is inherently problematic, an increased public health hazard, a public nuisance, and is medically/scientifically, environmentally, and fundamentally logically insupportable. I have prepared the following supporting charts, research, data, articles, and Tigard examples to provide vital information for you. Michael Brewin,Tigard Cities Comparisons Chickens [livestock/poultry] Beaverton: up to 4 hens, minimum 5,000 sf lot, No roosters, Not permitted to slaughter chicken, All other livestock Prohibited. + No keeping of wild, exotic or dangerous animal. Revised: 2010 Tualatin: up to 4 hens, No roosters, No slaughtering, $50 permit required, notice to all adjacent property owners, must be in rear yard, at least 10 feet from property lines, at least 25 ft from all adjacent residences, coop must be enclosed on sides facing neighbors,vermin proof food container, single family zoning. Revised: 2013 Sherwood: conditional permit (variance) required for chickens or livestock, minimum 7,000 sq ft lot., permit cost=$4,111.00, required USPS notice to all neighbors within 300 ft. radius of property, proof of"farm animal" insurance coverage for damage, liability. Reviewed: 2010, 2015 with extensive public input and hearings. Proposed code changes (reducing lot size for chickens) recommended Denial by Planning Commission. Proposed code changes Denied by City Council. (NOTE:The people most opposed to the proposed code changes were generally owners of small lots in subdivisions or in the historic city core.) Gresham: up to 3 hens, No roosters, $50 permit (2 year) required, chickens must be kept in a covered, enclosed coop from 10 p.m.to 7 a.m. At all other times,the chickens must be kept in the coop or run. Coop must be at least 25 feet from residences on different lot and 10 feet from any property line. The run must be at least 10 feet from the property line. The coop and run may only be located in the rear yard. single family dwelling. Wilsonville: 1 acre minimum lot size, chicken pen/run no closer than 100 feet to residence. Roseburg: permit required for chickens, coop must be enclosed from neighbors, coop and run not less than 200 feet from any human residence. My Recommendation to the Tigard City Council and the Planning Commission regarding the Municipal Code: Develop a new stronger code regarding chickens, but prohibiting all other livestock (as Beaverton did in 2010). My recommendation regarding substantive features of the new code: up to 3 Hens permitted; all other Livestock/poultry Prohibited within Tigard city limits. Chickens: up to 3 hens, required city permit ($50 annual), No roosters, No slaughtering/butchering, 7,000 sq ft minimum lot size; Coop and run must be in rear yard, at least 20 feet from all property lines, at least 50 feet from any residence on an adjoining lot; single family dwellings only. Coop must be enclosed on all sides. Chickens must be kept in a covered, enclosed coop from 9 p.m.to 7 a.m.At all other times,the chickens must be kept in the coop or run. Vermin proof food container. Coop and run to be kept clean, no odor, no unsightliness. No manure buildup/residue. No Noise Nuisances. Required USPS Notice to all adjoining property owners. Proof of "farm animal" damage/liability coverage on homeowner's insurance. [Chicken Permit revoked for any violation. (5 years wait before same property owners/renter can reapply after a revoked chicken license. If 2nd license revoked: lifetime ban in Tigard from keeping chickens.)] (+Keeping of Certain Animals Prohibited: No person shall keep a wild,exotic or dangerous animal.) Fact: Poultry and Livestock,their Feces, and their food attract RODENTS and INSECTS, raccoons, skunks, possums, coyotes, bobcats, cougars, and other predators. Grazing or Penned animals outside: pose a high risk of Odor Nuisance to adjacent neighbors. Increased Risk of diseases transmitted to humans. Chicken coops: pose a high risk of Odor Nuisance to adjacent neighbors, and especially in summer. Increased Risk of diseases transmitted to humans. Grazing or Penned animals outside: pose a high risk of Noise Nuisance to adjacent neighbors. Grazing animals outside near any stream or creek: pose a high risk of Water Pollution from Manure. (e.g. Derry Dell Creek, Fanno Creek) Chicken coops and Livestock within city limits harm neighboring residential properties: public Health Hazards, Nuisances, harm to residential market value, harm to property value, harm to equity.

Raising livestock for slaughter is genocidal cruelty. Unlicensed slaughtering and butchering of animals is illegal. Under ORS statutes, it is a criminal Class B Misdemeanor to slaughter any animal inhumanely(with pain). Health: Meat-eating is unnecessary and hazardous to your health; it is a major factor associated with the onset of many human diseases. Similarly, eggs are high in bad cholesterol. Furthermore, backyard eggs pose higher health risks for diseases than inspected and regulated store-bought eggs. INFECTIOUS DISEASE October 20th, 2017 Backyard chicken coop trend linked to spike in salmonella cases More than 1,100 people have contracted salmonella poisoning from chickens and ducks so far this year, with health officials pointing to an increase in backyard coops as the cause. At least one of the cases has resulted in death,with nearly 250 others requiring hospital care. The cases span across 48 states, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates the number to be far higher than what's been reported. "For one salmonella case we know of in an outbreak,there are up to 30 others that we don't know about," CDC veterinarian Megin Nichols said. Listeria in Backyard Chickens Thankfully listeria outbreaks are much less common than salmonella since about twenty percent of humans that get the severe form go on to die from it.The reason it is included here is because the number of reported cases are on the rise. Listeria is less a disease of poultry—more of cattle, goats and sheep, but they can become infected by pecking at soil, decaying vegetation or water that has been contaminated. Campylobacter An article in the Guardian, stated that campylobacter in poultry accounted for a whopping eighty percent of all campylobacter illness in humans! In the US, campylobacter is responsible for greater than fifty percent of all cases of enteritis investigated. In humans' profound diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea,vomiting and fever are all part of the disease.Victims often need rehydration and hospitalization, especially the young and elderly. E. coli in Chickens E. coli is shed in the poop, so infection of other birds can easily occur. 13 Animal-to-Human Diseases Kill 2.2 Million People Each Year By Jeanna Bryner, Live Science Managing Editor I July 6, 2012 09:45am ET Diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans, such as bird flu and tuberculosis, can wreak havoc on the health of both organisms. Now researchers have found 13 so-called zoonoses are responsible for 2.2 million human deaths every year. The study, detailed this week in the report "Mapping of Poverty and Likely Zoonoses Hotspots," shows the vast majority of these illnesses and deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries. For instance,Africa's Ethiopia, Nigeria and Tanzania, along with India, had the highest rates of associated illness and death. "From cyst-causing tapeworms to avian flu, zoonoses present a major threat to human and animal health," lead study author Delia Grace, a veterinary epidemiologist and food safety expert with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya, said in a statement. "Targeting the diseases in the hardest-hit countries is crucial to protecting global health as well as to reducing severe levels of poverty and illness among the world's 1 billion poor livestock keepers." The new global zoonosis map, an update of one published in the journal Nature in 2008, also revealed the northeastern United States, Western Europe (particularly the United Kingdom), Brazil and parts of Southeast Asia may be hotspots of"emerging zoonoses." An emerging zoonosis is a disease that is newly infecting humans, has just become virulent, or has just become drug-resistant. [10 Deadly Diseases That Hopped Across Species] Animal-human disease About 60 percent of all human diseases and 75 percent of all emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, according to the researchers. Most human infections with zoonoses come from livestock, including pigs, chickens, cattle, goats, sheep and camels. Out of 56 zoonoses studied,the researchers found 13 that were most important in terms of their impact on human deaths,the livestock sector and the severity of disease in people, along with their amenability to agriculture-based control. These were, in descending order: zoonotic gastrointestinal disease; leptospirosis; cysticercosis; zoonotic tuberculosis (TB); rabies; leishmaniasis (caused by a bite from certain sandflies); brucellosis (a bacterial disease that mainly infects livestock); echinococcosis;toxoplasmosis; Q fever; zoonotic trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), hepatitis E; and anthrax. They found many livestock were infected with these zoonoses in poor countries,where: • 27 percent of livestock showed signs of current or past infection with bacterial food-borne disease that causes food contamination (a type of zoonotic gastrointestinal disease) • 12 percent of animals have recent or current infections with brucellosis • 10 percent of livestock in Africa are infected with trypanosomiasis • 7 percent of livestock are currently infected with TB • 17 percent of smallholder pigs show signs of current infection with cysticercosis • 26 percent of livestock show signs of current or past infection with leptospirosis • 25 percent of livestock show signs of current or past infection with Q fever Dependence on livestock Nearly three-quarters of rural poor people and about one-third of the urban poor depend on livestock for food, income, manure and other services,the researchers say. As such,the loss of one milking animal can devastate these households,though even worse,the researchers point out, is the loss of a loved one to a zoonotic disease. The new map of hotspots will give researchers and officials places on which to focus their efforts.The highest zoonosis burden,they found, occurs in just a few countries, particularly Ethiopia, Nigeria and India.These three countries also have the highest number of poor livestock keepers and the highest number of malnourished people. "These findings allow us to focus on the hotspots of zoonoses and poverty, within which we should be able to make a difference," Grace said in a statement. Chickens cause serious infections in humans March 5, 2012 -06:23 Intestinal bacteria from poultry can infect humans and cause urinary tract infections. A new study looks into disease transmission from animals to humans in a world of increasing antibiotic resistance. Keywords: Biology, Diseases, Health, Medicine,The Body SendPDFPrint By: Kristian Sjogren Chickens can infect humans with bacteria that cause urinary tract infections and in some cases heart valve infections.There is a growing concern in the international science community for potentially resistant bacteria that are transmitted from animals to humans. (Photo: Colourbox) The intestinal bacterium Enterococcus faecalis can transmit from chickens to humans, causing urinary tract infections. This discovery is yet another example of how emerging infectious diseases in humans often stem from animals. As part of her PhD thesis, Louise Ladefoged Poulsen, of the University of Copenhagen, has studied disease transmission between poultry and humans in Vietnam. Along with scientists across the world, Poulsen warns about the careless use of antibiotics in both animals and humans: "My research shows that we should practice extreme caution when using antibiotics on animals," she says. If antibiotic resistance develops in animals, it can be transmitted to humans and cause serious treatment problems. Potent antibiotics that are currently reserved for humans should not be used on animals.The bacteria could become resistant to antibiotics that would otherwise be used as a last resort for humans." Louise Ladefoged Poulsen "If antibiotic resistance develops in animals, it can be transmitted to humans and cause serious treatment problems. Potent antibiotics that are currently reserved for humans should not be used on animals.The bacteria could become resistant to antibiotics that would otherwise be used as a last resort for humans." Researcher collected faeces and urine Poulsen collected faeces and urine from poultry and humans in a suburb of Vietnam's capital Hanoi to study the transmission of infectious bacteria between animals and humans. She then examined whether having chickens in the home could be regarded as a source of infection for humans with urinary tract infections. The examinations were performed by growing the bacteria and subjecting them to genetic analysis. Poulsen followed up with a comparison of the genetic structure of the bacteria to find out whether the bacteria in chickens and in humans were identical. Facts When a cell is divided, two identical bacteria emerge.These are known as clones. When two bacteria are clones,they are so closely related that they must originate from the same parent bacterium. Researchers can trace their way to the origin of the bacteria by checking whether bacteria from humans are clones of bacteria from chickens. The results revealed that more than half of the women who had urinary tract infections had chickens in their home. In many cases,the bacterium causing the infection was a clone of bacteria found in chickens. Infection presumably through food or dirt "Since we have shown with a variety of methods that the bacteria are identical, we can conclude that there is some transmission between animals and humans," says the researcher, adding that they don't know for sure whether it's the chickens that have infected the humans or vice versa. "But since the chickens run around defecating all over the place, and humans often come into contact with their faeces, it's fairly safe to assume that the infection route for the bacterium goes from the animal to the human intestines." She says the most likely scenario is that humans are initially infected by contaminated food or poor hygiene. "The bacterium then makes its way into the bladder from the intestines via the urethra" Facts Infections between animals and humans are known as zoonosis. Scientists have pointed out several diseases that they believe stem from animals, including smallpox, tuberculosis, rabies and measles. In 30 percent of the cases where infections occurred,the bacterium was highly resistant to gentamicine, which is an important antibiotic for the treatment of heart valve infections. Heart valve infections can occur as a result of untreated urinary tract infections with Enterococcus faecalis. If this bacterium is resistant to gentamicine, it could prove fatal for the infected. Also relevant to the West Although it's uncommon in the Western world to keep chickens in the home, we should beware of infections with resistant bacteria from animals. Antibiotic resistance and infection between animals and humans have been given top priority under the Danish EU presidency in 2012. On 14-15 March, a major conference will be held at Copenhagen's Bella Center, where 300 of the world's leading researchers and government representatives in the field will meet to do discuss the problem and its possible solutions. Articles relating to Louise Ladefoged Poulsen's research are currently being peer-reviewed for publication in international science journals. Diseases from goats and livestock to humans • BrucellosissEP]Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that can affect goats and other livestock such as sheep and cows and wild ruminants such as deer, elk and bison. Brucellosis causes abortion or stillbirth in animals. Brucellosis is rare in livestock in the U.S. but common in many other countries. People most often get infected from direct contact with the placenta and other discharges from animals that are giving birth. Infected animals can shed the Brucella bacteria in milk and in vaginal fluids after abortion or birth. People can also get infected from consuming unpasteurized milk and other dairy products from infected animals. Symptoms in people vary, but serious disease can occur. Dogs can also get brucellosis but the dog type rarely spreads to people. • Brucellosis, CDC • Brucella canis, NASPHV • Brucellosis, CFSPH, Iowa State UniversityLsE_P,] • Campylobacteriosis[sk_P]Campylobacteriosis is an infection of the intestines caused by a bacteria called Campylobacter.The bacteria is commonly found in the feces of infected animals and in food products contaminated with the bacteria during processing or preparation. Raw or undercooked chicken is one of the most common sources of human infection.,s_6] • Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli) infection!sE_P]]Escherichia coli (E. coli) include a large group of bacteria that live in the guts of animals and people. Most are harmless but some can cause disease. One particular strain called E. coli O157:H7 can cause serious disease in people.The E. coli O157:H7 are shed in the stool of infected animals and people. People can get infected when they eat food or drink water or milk contaminated by the bacteria. Infection with E. coli O157:H7 can cause diarrhea and in some cases a severe complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS damages the kidneys and blood vessels and is more common in young children and the elderly.[s p • Listeriosis[SE_P]Listeriosis is a rare but serious disease of humans caused by the germ Listeria monocytogenes; it is usually acquired by eating or drinking foods contaminated with the germ. Unpasteurized milk and cold cuts are the foods most likely to transmit listeriosis. Infected cattle and goats can also spread the infection to humans when the infection causes them to abort and the placental remains are heavily contaminated. Listeria is especially hazardous to pregnant women.sb] • Orf(sore mouth infection, contagious ecthyma);sEP]Orf is a common disease worldwide in goats and sheep. It is also called "sore mouth" or"scabby mouth." It is caused by a virus (parapoxvirus)that causes blisters to form on the lips, muzzle, and in the mouth. Later the blisters become crusty scabs. It is especially common in young animals and may cause them to have difficulty nursing or feeding. Most animals recover completely within a month, but may get reinfected. Orf lesions may resemble foot- and-mouth disease,which is a very serious animal disease that has not occurred in the U.S. since 1929. Due to concern about foot and mouth disease, the WA State Department of Agriculture investigates possible cases of orf in goats and sheep to be sure that the animal does not have foot- and-mouth disease (see link below).[sEP]People can get infected via direct contact with an infected animal or by touching contaminated equipment such as halters, buckets or fences in the animal's environment.The virus penetrates through small lesions in the skin. People most often get infections on their fingers where blisters form in 3-7 days.The sores may be painful and can last for two months. A lab test to diagnose the infection is available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.A healthcare provider would need to contact the local health department for information about testing. There is no specific treatment and people do not infect other people. Activities that may put people at risk of infection include bottle feeding or shearing sheep or goats, petting infected animals, handling contaminated equipment, and being bitten by an infected animal. • Frequently Asked Questions About Sore Mouth Infection (Orf Virus), CDC • Foot-and-mouth disease: A Foreign threat to Washington livestock, WA State Dept. of Agriculture LsE_P,' • Q Fevers 'jQ fever is a disease caused by a type of bacterium named Coxiella burnetii. It is primarily a disease of cattle, sheep, and goats although other livestock and pets can also get Q Fever.The disease in people ranges from asymptomatic to severe. Most animals have no symptoms but infection may cause abortion in sheep and goats. Infection in people occurs by inhaling dust contaminated with dried placental material, birth fluids, as well as urine and feces from infected animals.The risk of infection is greatest close to the source of bacteria, but there have been cases of infection even several miles away.Accidentally inhaling contaminated milk is a less common way getting the infection.[sEP] • Salmonellosis-Goats and Livestock[sEPjSalmonellosis is a bacterial infection of the intestines caused by a group of bacteria called Salmonella.The bacteria are shed in the stool of infected animals and humans. Infection can happen when a person eats food or drinks water or milk that has been contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. Infection with Salmonella can cause serious disease especially in children younger than 5 years of age,the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems. • Last Updated October 27, 2017 United Nations FAO.org Surge in diseases of animal origin necessitates new approach to health - report Focus on root causes and prevention needed 16 December 2013, Rome- Population growth, agricultural expansion, and the rise of globe-spanning food supply chains have dramatically altered how diseases emerge,jump species boundaries, and spread, according to an FAO report released today.A new, more holistic approach to managing disease threats at the animal-human-environment interface is needed, it argues. Seventy percent of the new diseases that have emerged in humans over recent decades are of animal origin and, in part, directly related to the human quest for more animal-sourced food, according to the report, World Livestock 2013: Changing Disease Landscapes. The ongoing expansion of agricultural lands into wild areas, coupled with a worldwide boom in livestock production, means that "livestock and wildlife are more in contact with each other, and we ourselves are more in contact with animals than ever before," said Ren Wang, FAO Assistant Director- General for Agriculture and Consumer Protection. "What this means is that we cannot deal with human health, animal health, and ecosystem health in isolation from each other-we have to look at them together, and address the drivers of disease emergence, persistence and spread, rather than simply fighting back against diseases after they emerge," he added. Multiple impacts of disease FAO's new report provides a number of compelling reasons for taking a new tack on disease emergence. Developing countries face a staggering burden of human, zoonotic and livestock diseases, it says, creating a major impediment to development and food safety. Recurrent epidemics in livestock affect food security, livelihoods, and national and local economies in poor and rich countries alike. Meanwhile, food safety hazards and antibiotic resistance are on the increase worldwide. Globalization and climate change are redistributing pathogens, vectors, and hosts, and pandemic risks to humans caused by pathogens of animal origin present a major concern. An increasingly complex disease landscape Changes wrought by human activity have created a vastly more complicated global disease landscape, states World Livestock 2013. Ongoing population growth and poverty-coupled with inadequate health systems and sanitation infrastructure - remain major drivers in disease dynamics. But in the push to produce more food, humans have carved out vast swaths of agricultural land in previously wild areas- puffing themselves and their animals into contact with wildlife-borne diseases. Indeed, a majority of the infectious diseases that have emerged in humans since the 1940s can be traced back to wildlife, notes FAO's report. For instance, it is likely that the SARS virus emerging in humans was first transmitted by bats to masked palm civets and eventually spilled over to humans via animal markets. In other cases,the opposite occurs- livestock introduce pathogens into natural areas, affecting wildlife health. Meanwhile, greater numbers of human beings are on the move than ever before, and the volume of goods and products being traded internationally is at unprecedented levels-giving disease-causing organisms the ability to travel the globe with ease. And climate fluctuation is having direct impacts on the environmental survival rate of disease agents, especially in warm and humid areas,while climate change influences the habitats of hosts, migration patterns and disease transmission dynamics. The role of livestock FAO's new study focuses in particular on how changes in the way humans raise and trade animals have affected how disease emerge and spread. October 19, 2017 12:29 PM DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Luke Gabriele was a healthy 14-year-old football player in Pennsylvania when he began to feel soreness in his chest that grew increasingly painful. When his breathing became difficult, doctors detected a mass that appeared to be a tumor. For a week, Dan and DeAnna Gabriele thought their son was dying until tests identified the cause: not cancer, but chickens-the ones he cared for at home.They had apparently infected him with salmonella that produced a severe abscess. The popular trend of raising backyard chickens in U.S. cities and suburbs is bringing with it a soaring number of illnesses from poultry-related diseases, some of them fatal. Since January, nearly 1,000 people have contracted salmonella poisoning from chickens and ducks in 48 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control. More than 200 were hospitalized and one person died.The toll was four times higher than in 2015. The CDC estimates the actual number of cases from contact with chickens and ducks is likely much higher. "For one salmonella case we know of in an outbreak,there are up to 30 others that we don't know about," CDC veterinarian Megin Nichols said. A "large contributing factor"to the surge, Nichols said, comes from natural food fanciers who have taken up the backyard chicken hobby but don't understand the potential dangers. Some treat their birds like pets, kissing or snuggling them and letting them walk around the house. Poultry can carry salmonella bacteria in their intestines that can be shed in their feces.The bacteria can attach to feathers and dust and brush off on shoes or clothing. But illnesses can be prevented with proper handling.The CDC recommends that people raising chickens wash their hands thoroughly after handling the birds, eggs or nesting materials, and leave any shoes worn in a chicken coop outside. Salmonella is much more common as a food-borne illness. More than 1 million people fall ill each year from salmonella contamination in food, resulting in more than 300 deaths, according to the CDC. There are no firm figures on how many households in the U.S. have backyard chickens, but a Department of Agriculture report in 2013 found a growing number of residents in Denver, Los Angeles, Miami and New York City expressed interest in getting them. Coops are now seen in even the smallest yards and densest urban neighborhoods. For Tanya Keith,the nine hens and a rooster that she keeps behind her home in Des Moines provide fresh eggs and lessons for her three children about where food comes from. But even as her kids collect eggs and help keep the six nesting boxes tidy, she warns them not get too affectionate. "We don't transfer chicken germs to our face," Keith tells them. Stopping the germs at home is important because safeguards against salmonella are limited at the commercial sources that sell most of the birds. A large share of baby chicks and ducks sold to consumers come from about 20 feed and farm supply retailers across the U.S.They get their chicks from a half dozen large hatcheries that supply tens of millions of baby chicks and ducklings each year. While the Agriculture Department encourages hatcheries to be tested regularly for salmonella contamination,the program is voluntary. Unsanitary conditions or rodent infestations can help salmonella spread in hatcheries. Dr. Stacene Maroushek, a pediatric infectious disease physician in Minneapolis, sees both sides of the popular trend. She manages her own flock of about 50 birds. "I love to see people getting back to nature, having their home gardens and having self-sustainability," Maroushek said. But in her clinic she's seen young children suffering from salmonella poisoning. The bacteria often cause flu-like symptoms, including diarrhea, and can produce more serious infections in children,the elderly and people with weak immune systems. "It gets into their blood and it can get into organs," she said. "It can be much more significant in people with underlying health problems." Even those who have had chickens for years can fall victim, as Luke Gabriele did in 2013 in his hometown of Felton in southeast Pennsylvania. DeAnna Gabriele said her son was responsible for feeding and watering the chickens, but he didn't really like the birds and certainly didn't treat them as pets. "They really never figured out specifically how Luke got the salmonella," she said. "They theorized that maybe he inhaled something because it can live in the environment and you can breathe it in in the dust." He recovered after nine days in the hospital with the help of antibiotics. She and her husband said that anyone buying chickens for the first time should try to find out whether the hatchery they came from tests for salmonella. Nichols said the best way chicken raisers can protect themselves is to assume all birds carry salmonella and treat them carefully. "We view this as a preventable public health problem and are really hoping we start to see some change," she said. Consumer Reports' Study Reveals Dangers In Chickens By Susan KoeppenDecember 19, 2013 at 5:45 pm Filed Under:Bacteria, Chicken, Consumer Reports, E. coli, Enterococcus, PITTSBURGH (KDKA)—If you eat chicken, a concerning report came out today potential health risks. Consumer Reports'tests of more than 300 raw chicken breasts revealed 97 percent harbored bacteria that can potentially make you sick. FAO.org— United Nations: Pigs and Public Health Risks A number of risks to human health arising from the pig production chain must be considered. Close contact between people and their animals, inevitable in all production systems, provides opportunities for pathogens to cross from pigs to humans and vice versa. Special attention must be given to viruses with pandemic potential such as Influenza A, which have been shown to exploit the pig as a mixing vessel from which new recombinants can emerge. What are some diseases goats can transmit to humans? GoatsAugust 27, 2010 Goats can transmit several diseases to humans, including: Leptospirosis —This disease is widely distributed in domestic and wild animals.Transmission of the organism to humans can occur through skin abrasions and mucous membranes by contact with urine or tissues of animals infected with leptospirosis. Inhalation or ingestion of organisms can also transmit the disease.The disease can vary from an asymptomatic infection to severe disease with symptoms ranging from flu-like ailments to liver and kidney failure, encephalitis, and pulmonary involvement. Cryptosporidia — Some species of this disease have a worldwide distribution that can be found in many animal species, including ruminants. Cryptosporidiosis is caused by a protozoan parasite that lives in the intestines of mammals. Usually the diarrhea is self-limiting, but in immunocompromised individuals,the disease can have a prolonged course. Q fever —This disease is caused by Coxiella burnetii,which is a rickettsial disease of goats and cattle. Humans can be infected by inhalation of infectious particles.The organism is shed in urine, feces, milk, and birth products of domestic sheep,goats, and cattle. Symptoms in humans are usually flu-like. In some cases, more serious symptoms can occur, especially in elderly patients or in immunosuppressed people. Psittacosis (ornithosis, chlamydiosis) —This disease is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci. C. psittaci is common in wild birds but can also cause enzootic abortion in sheep,goats, and cattle. Exposure to birth fluids and membranes of infected sheep and goats has been reported to cause gestational psittacosis in pregnant women. Contagious echthyma (orf) —This disease is caused by a pox virus and is endemic in sheep and goat herds in the United States. Orf produces pustular lesions on the lips, nostrils, and mucous membranes of the oral cavity in infected animals. Humans are infected by direct contact with exudates from the lesions or from fomites.The disease in humans is characterized by similar lesions on the hand, arm, or face. Rabies —This disease is very rare in the laboratory environment, but any random source animal or wild animal showing central nervous system signs must be considered a potentially rabid animal.The rabies virus is most commonly transmitted to other animals or humans by the bite of a rabid animal or by introduction of saliva containing the virus into skin wounds or intact mucous membranes. Rabies produces a fatal acute viral encephalomyelitis. Escherichia coli 0157:H7 — E. coli 0157:H7 is a bacterial organism that can be found in the intestines of healthy cows. Meat can become contaminated during slaughter, and milk can be contaminated from bacteria on the cow's udder or on milking equipment. Other sources of infection include eating sprouts, lettuce, salami, unpasteurized milk and juice and swimming in or drinking sewage-contaminated water. Infected persons often have bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps. In children under 5 years of age and the elderly, an E. coli 0157:H7 infection may cause hemolytic uremia and resulting kidney failure. Persons with diarrhea can transmit this organism to other people if personal hygiene is inadequate. Salmonellosis —Along with a variety of other species, Salmonella and other enteric bacteria are capable of causing disease in humans. Salmonellae are transmitted by the fecal-oral route. Infection produces an acute enterocolitis and fever with possible secondary complications such as septicemia. Ringworm — Dermatophytes, which are fungi, cause ringworm in humans and animals. Infection in animals may not be apparent and is transmitted to humans by direct contact with infected animals or by indirect contact with contaminated equipment or materials. Dermatophytes produce flat, circular lesions that are clear in the center and crusted and red on the periphery. Dangers of Urban Farming By Ian Elwood I January 17, 2012 As the urban-farming movement grows in popularity,the importance of animal husbandry as a piece of the puzzle becomes a must-act issue. In the past few years, independent bookstores in cities such as San Francisco, Oakland, and Portland have sprouted new urban-farming sections. Sandwiched between celebrity gourmands and sustainable gardeners are newly minted books covering a range of topics relating to hobby-scale urban agriculture. Covered with colorful pastoral graphics overlaid on a gritty urban backdrop a reader can find an artsy watercolor painting of happy farm animals or images of a rooster atop a graffitied brick wall, a metropolitan rendition of American Gothic. Urban farming is a growing trend and has captured the imaginations of many people. City planning scholars,food writers, environmentalists, activists—basically anyone with a political interest in food is now likely interested in urban farming. Because of its newfound popularity in such a wide variety of intellectual disciplines, urban farming is often written about glowingly and with uncritical praise. It is often portrayed in sweeping terms as a panacea for the problems of the inner-city poor, with urban farms held in the same esteem as community centers, city parks, or public libraries. So what's the problem? Providing access to healthful fruits and vegetables for people in low-income communities is crucial to address the inequities in the distribution of nutritious food. But in the haste to create laws to encourage farming in cities, many city governments are making one fatal mistake: deregulating animal farming. Animal Farmsb]Of all the community gardens and farms in cities across the country,generally less than 10 percent include animals. Some cities such as Boston, Detroit, and Washington, DC prohibit keeping animals within city limits, and others including Denver, Chicago, and Long Beach, CA prohibit the slaughtering of animals,which precludes raising animals for meat. In the past five years,the majority of cities that have deregulated animal husbandry in some way have done so because people want to have backyard chickens as "pets with benefits"—specifically, using the chickens for(urban) farm-fresh eggs.The practice of breeding, keeping, and killing other animals is an afterthought in many locations, without any real scrutiny of the larger impacts on animal welfare, human health,the environment, or city livability. If the problem we are trying to solve is food injustice, breeding animals for slaughter misses the mark. Even keeping hens for eggs is of questionable benefit. Given the costs, risks, and dangers involved in animal farming, cities should focus on creating exclusively horticulture-based urban farming systems. Out Back[sb]What, exactly, are the risks of raising animals within city limits?The vast majority of urban farming's shortfalls result in unnecessary suffering on the part of backyard poultry and other food animals. In his recent book, editor in chief of Make magazine Mark Frauenfelder recounts how his backyard chickens Rosie and Daisy were eaten by coyotes because the coop they were kept in was not predator proof, and later posted a recording of the neighborhood coyotes to his blog. Botched slaughter is all too common, but even slaughter that is performed "correctly" is still no treat to witness or hear happening next door. Free-roaming animals are often attracted to "livestock" enclosures, which cause conflict with human neighbors.The list of problems goes on. With so much that can go awry in backyard husbandry, communities need to evaluate what, if any, problem the practice actually solves. Sprouted Solutions p]Urban farming can be a positive step for people in cities who are trying to feed themselves, but if changes to city policies are not crafted with great caution they could have a large negative impact on animals. So what is the solution we should be advocating for as people who care greatly for all animals and for all people? Food Empowerment Project is doing great work to help create food systems that are just, humane, and sustainable—goals which are most effectively realized by creating food policy that is based exclusively on horticulture, leaving the controversial business of animal husbandry and slaughter aside. A 2010 study on the inequities of food distribution in California's Santa Clara County called "Shining a Light on the Valley of Heart's Delight" details some of the major problems that people in the inner city face with regards to accessing food that is healthful and sustainable. No one disputes the health benefits of a diet that includes copious amounts of fruits and vegetables, which can be grown on urban farms with some education and a little hard work. If our cities want to solve the very real problems of food justice and food insecurity—and not create a host of additional problems—urban horticulture should be vigorously promoted and incentivized,while animal farming and slaughter in cities should be specifically prohibited. Fat, Cholesterol and Protein The American Dietetic Association supports a dairy-free, vegan diet: It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Besides containing saturated fats, cholesterol, hormones and too much protein, milk is also linked to testicular cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Hormones, and Cancer In 2006, a researcher from the Harvard School of Public Health found a strong link between dairy consumption and hormone-dependent cancers–testes, breast, and prostate. Scientist/physician Ganmaa Davaasambuu believes that the naturally occurring hormones in a pregnant cow's milk increase the risks for these types of cancer.

A 1,000 pound horse will defecate approximately four to thirteen times each day and produce approximately nine tons of manure per year.The 1,000 pound horse will produce, on the average, 37 pounds of feces and 2.4 gallons of urine daily, which totals about 50 pounds of raw waste per day in feces and urine combined. A horse kept in a stall may require fifteen to twenty pounds of bedding per day. Bedding products include: wood by-product (shavings, chips, or pellets), straw, hay, or paper. Bedding must be provided in stalls with cement floors, kept reasonably clean, and changed periodically. Manure plus bedding will have a volume of between two and three cubic feet per day. Soiled bedding can equal almost twice the volume of the manure, but will vary based on management practices.A stalled horse will require the removal of 60 to 70 pounds of waste per day.This results in between 12 and 13 tons of waste per stall per year with 9 tons being manure, 3.5 tons urine, and the remainder bedding.The density of horse manure is about 63 lb/cubic foot. Annual stall waste from one horse will fill a 12 foot x 12 foot stall about 6 feet deep.This leads to a steady stream of manure to handle.

When too much waste is produced in one place,there's no safe, cost- effective way to either use it productively or dispose of it. While government regulation and better waste management practices can make a difference and should be encouraged for existing farms,the problem of livestock waste will never end so long as we rely on concentrated industrial farms to produce our food. Mountains of Manure The USDA estimates that more than 335 million tons of"dry matter"waste (the portion of waste remaining after water is removed) is produced annually on farms in the United States, representing almost a third of the total municipal and industrial waste produced every year. FWhat's more, animal feeding operations annually produce about 100 times more manure than the amount of human sewage sludge processed in US municipal wastewater plants. FOne dairy farm with 2,500 cows produces as much waste as a city with around 411,000 residents. FUnlike human waste, however, in most cases the law does not require that livestock waste be treated. At farms where animals are allowed to graze on pasture, much - if not all -of their manure is excreted directly onto the land, serving as a fertilizer and recycling nutrients back into the soil. On industrial livestock farms, however, animals drop their manure in the houses where they live. From there,the manure must be cleaned out,transported, and stored, each step of which can negatively affect the environment. Simply cleaning out livestock houses can waste vast amounts of water—a dairy operation that utilizes an automatic"flushing" system can use up to 150 gallons of water per cow per day. F Manure is usually stored for many months, often in giant outdoor pits known as lagoons. FAs it decomposes, the manure emits harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. FMeanwhile, these lagoons can leak or rupture, polluting the surrounding soil and water systems. One study conducted by North Carolina State University in 1995 estimated that as many as 55%of the manure lagoons on hog farms in that state were leaking. FEven without leaks, manure lagoons are so fragile that major storms often result in overflows. Perhaps most famously, in 1999, the majority of North Carolina's manure lagoons spilled over into waterways during Hurricane Floyd, leading to widespread water contamination. What made matters even worse was that North Carolina, like most states, requires no treatment of animal waste. F Since manure is produced on factory farms in excess of what can safely be absorbed by the farm's soil, it is often shipped to neighboring farms for use as fertilizer. Unfortunately, manure is quite heavy, so transporting it both consumes large amounts of fuel (needed to power the trucks that haul it) while at the same time contributing to air pollution (due to emissions from the trucks that haul it). F Once the manure arrives at its destination, it is sprayed onto farm fields as fertilizer. Under the current system of animal production, however, there is always more manure available than can possibly be absorbed by the soil as fertilizer. In fact, studies show that between 1982 and 1997, as industrial agriculture grew,the US experienced a 64 percent increase in the amount of manure that could not be absorbed by our soils. FThis practice is not only harmful to the soil, but can also result in contamination of human drinking water and lead to serious public health problems. Animal Waste,the Environment, and Human Health People often believe that animal manure is harmless, but in truth it can be quite hazardous. Factory livestock facilities pollute the air and release over 400 separate gasses, mostly due to the large amounts of manure they produce. FThe principal gases released are hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. FGasses can be dangerous air pollutants that threaten both the environment and human health. Nitric oxides are also released in large quantities from farms through manure application, and are among the leading causes of acid rain. FLsEPsEPThe risks of lagoon leakage, overflows, and illegal discharge of waste also pose a direct threat to the quality of soil and water systems.A report for the U.S. Geological Survey documented over one thousand spills and dumps of animal waste in the ten Midwestern states it surveyed over the course of three years. FManure from leaky lagoons or saturated farm fields has also been known to enter public water sources and infect humans. FFor example, a study of waterborne disease outbreaks from 1986 to 1998 conducted by the Centers for Disease Control demonstrated that in every case where the pathogen could be identified, it most likely originated in livestock. F Among the many nutrients usually present in high concentrations in animal waste are phosphorous and nitrogen,which are beneficial to the soils when the manure is added in small concentrations. However, the volume of manure usually found in lagoons and storage systems, and subsequent very high concentrations of nutrients, can cause a range of ecological problems like fish kills or a loss in biodiversity Fwhen released into the environment and can affect human health when leached into drinking water. Nitrogen in manure is tied up in its organic state until,through decomposition, it is converted to a soluble form (ammonium nitrate). When ammonium nitrate is mixed with water, nitrates can leach into groundwater systems and threaten the water quality. F According to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), drinking water with nitrate concentrations above ten parts per million (ppm), Fcan cause developmental deficiencies in infants and death in severe cases due to oxygen deprivation. Nitrates introduced into the body through affected water significantly reduce the blood's oxygen carrying capacity, Fand deprive the body of oxygen. High nitrate concentrations are also believed to have caused spontaneous abortions and possibly cancer. F The storage of animal waste under industrial livestock facilities and in manure tanks also poses a direct health risk to both animals and humans. Since animal waste is often stored directly beneath the barns in which the livestock live, livestock commonly die from poor ventilation that allows for the buildup of toxic gases inside confinement facilities. FWhat's more, manure pits have been known to claim the lives of farm workers, and between 1992 and 1997 at least twelve workers died due to asphyxiation by manure gases and drowning while trapped in manure lagoons. FThe gases in livestock facilities can also pose other risks to workers; for example, methane is highly flammable, and if not vented properly from manure tanks it can cause explosions. F Regulation and Technology in Managing Waste Until recently,there has been very little regulation of animal waste. Federal law changed in 2002 to require virtually all confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs G) to apply for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for their waste discharge. In 2005,the rule was revised requiring only CAFOs that discharge waste (i.e. into streams, rivers, or lakes) to apply for a NPDES permit. FHowever,these new regulations make it clear that Federal law prohibits any CAFO from discharging waste, even accidentally, without a permit and will face fines if this is violated. Additionally, CAFOs applying for this permit are now required to submit a nutrient management plan (NMP)with the permit application that is open for public review. FThis new regulation makes nutrient management a Federal regulation (no longer leaving it up to the states to enforce) and requires a plan of action for the management of waste to ensure that no waste is discharged from the CAFO site. The Environmental Protection Agency has the right to prosecute those who discharge animal waste illegally under the Clean Water Act, Falthough these cases are brought infrequently. Apart from regulation,there are some other innovations that may help control the potential problems associated with animal waste. Researchers have discovered that adding sodium carbonate—a mineral commonly found in laundry detergents—to manure can dramatically decrease the amount of the harmful bacterium E. Coli O157:H7 present. FThere are also feed additives for cattle—including one derived from a type of seaweed which is already widely used in human foods and cosmetics—that can significantly reduce the amount of this dangerous strain of E. Coli in cattle manure. F Another proven and simple way to reduce the presence of E. Coli in cattle manure is the method of sending them out to graze on pasture, and taking them off of industrial feed made of corn and other grains. While feed additives are a creative way to address some problems, ultimately they do nothing to address the fact that too much waste is being produced in areas that are too concentrated. Eliminating E. Coli bacteria does nothing to address the problems of harmful gases or the detriment high concentrations of manure (and therefore nitrogen and phosphorous) have on the environment and human health. While methane digesters can partially reduce the discharge of harmful gasses, they can't eliminate the solid waste which still must be stored and discharged, nor do they protect against leaks or overflows that can contaminate water supplies. Comparing Animal and Human Waste Production In order to compare the impact of different types of animals, livestock statistics are often cited in terms of"animal units." One animal unit equals 1,000 lbs. of the live weight of an animal, (for example,four 1,250-pound cows equal 5 "animal units" of cattle, while 125 eight-pound chickens make up 1 "animal unit" of chicken). By this measure, one animal unit of broiler(meat) chickens produces an average of 14.97 tons of manure each year,fattened cattle 10.59 tons per year and dairy cows 15.24 tons per year. Fin comparison, one "animal unit" of humans produces a mere 5.48 tons of waste per year. F Did You Know? • Dairy cows in confined feeding operations throughout the US produce more than two billion pounds of manure nitrogen per year. F • The most recent available Census of Agriculture data shows that there were almost 95.5 million cows and calves in the United States in 2002. FThere were also about 60.4 million hogs and pigs, each producing waste every day. F What You Can Do It's clear that the best way to deal with industrial agriculture's mountains of manure is to de- concentrate the animals and likewise de-concentrate their waste. Sustainable, pasture-based systems allow for the animals to distribute their waste in amounts that the soil can absorb, without using large quantities of water for washing or fuel to power trucks for transportation and spraying. By shopping at small, local sustainable farms and supporting pasture-based methods of waste management, we can all encourage change and promote healthier and more environmentally-friendly farming.

As you might know,we've heard a lot of feedback, both good and bad regarding urban agriculture and livestock in Tigard. The city recognizes urban agriculture and livestock as one important component of a healthy and sustainable community. At our last outreach event,we heard a lot of positive things about keeping chickens—from the eggs they provide to the sense of community they foster. We've also heard a lot of feedback about how our current code is too murky to enforce or understand. Our intention with building urban agriculture regulations is not to prohibit chickens. Our aim instead is to build regulations that are clear and easy to understand, simple to enforce, and encourage keeping chickens and other livestock in a manner that is clean, pest-resistant, and founded on education. Tigard staff is currently doing research with experts from organizations like the Oregon Department of Agriculture, Tualatin Water and Soil Conservation District, and Portland Community College to ensure that any regulations we build are founded on animal health and safety. It is our understanding that many of the perceived negative impacts of keeping livestock in a suburban setting can be mitigated or avoided completely with proper education—that's why we're looking at requiring an educational component for folks keeping larger numbers of livestock on their lots. That said, none of our regulations are final yet. I see you copied Associate Planner Hope Pollard; I encourage you to have conversations with her and stay tuned for future events she's planning where you can get involved and play a part in writing the regulations. I know she's actively seeking community input to make sure we get this code right and that it reflects the true desires of our community.

Thank you for your continued interest in helping Tigard stay true to its motto of "a place to call home". On June 29th, we had our first in-person community discussion and we heard a lot of great feedback. We've been hard at work incorporating this feedback into draft code regulations and it's almost time for another event to go over these regulations together. Please join us on Tuesday, September 20 for an open house at the Tigard Public Library. We'll be there from 4:30-5:30 PM, ready to share our draft urban agriculture regulations and get your input.This is your last chance to share your thoughts before these changes become official! If you would like to attend, please register in advance.We'll send registrants a draft copy of our code about a week ahead of the event so you have time to review on your own before we get together. You can sign up and learn more about where we're at on the engagement website here: https://www.engage_tigard-or.gov/urbanag Please note that this open house will directly impact the standards we will eventually propose to the City Council and adopt into our official Development Code later this year. So bring your best solutions- oriented thinking caps! If you can't make it on September 20th,your voice is still important to us. Please contact me to schedule a private time to talk separately via Teams, phone, or in-person—whatever works best for you! You can also feel free to send me an email of your thoughts and ideas, if you prefer that. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm here to help and I look forward to meeting and working with you!

It looks complete. The only comment is the height of the fence in the run for chickens. I had a neighbor with a 4 ft fence around her property with the backyard for their run and the chickens regularly got over it. The chickens used the neighbors yards and cul de sac for their free range. A full fenced/roofed run would be better I think. The new owners of the property kept the chickens and I have not seen them since. This document looks like it would have solved much of the problem and at least provided recourse for the neighbors.

(10525 SW Tigard st.) It is possible that we are the most visible chicken owners in Tigard with so many people passing by our yard each day — many of whom stop to enjoy our chickens. We have heard nothing but positive feedback from the community and so many people have shared how our yard is a destination for their walks and bike rides because they and their families enjoy seeing the birds. The chickens have given us chance to engage in conversation with dozens (if not hundreds) of people over the years, and though we have had back yard chickens for about 8-9 years now, we are not aware of a single complaint against us or our birds. On the contrary, we have received hundreds of compliments. Of course we are concerned that the city council is considering limiting backyard chickens and we want to express our opinion as responsible chicken owners in Tigard. We have a large lot (over half an acre) and have sized our coop and our flock to the amount of space the chickens have to run around. We care for them well with quality food, water, and care during the lives of the birds. If you have ever been to a commercial chicken farm, you will recognize immediately what a better quality of life backyard chickens enjoy compared with commercialized,factory birds. We have never kept a rooster (out of respect for the noise ordinance and our neighbors in the Windmill apartments) and have freely shared eggs with neighbors when we have been asked. We have never charged for an egg, but have been happy to share with people in Tigard knowing that we are helping families share with their kids about 'where food comes from' and how much better a fresh egg is compared with a factory egg. We have even had people share that they started their own flock because they enjoyed ours so much. We realize that despite the many upsides of chickens there can be potential issues such as noise from a rooster or unwanted predators including rats. We have had issues a couple of times, and believe me when I say, we have been the most motivated to take care of any of these issues because we want to have healthy birds and a safe property for our family. There are many things that attract rats, so I would also add that chickens are not the only cause, or even the main cause. Tigard will still have plenty of rats even if there were no chickens. We believe the current city ordinance as it stands is appropriate and fair and that the specific disturbances and complaints should be dealt with on a case by case basis. To add unnecessary regulation that impacts all chicken owners because of a few issues specific issues that have arisen would be analogous to restricting dog ownership because there are a few dogs that bark too much or are too aggressive. Those code violations are dealt with when they arise, and it we believe it should be the same with chickens. Unfortunately I am traveling for work on September 20th and am unable to attend the meeting, but we have strong opinions on this issue, and ask the city to make a good decision by keeping the city ordinances as they are and figuring out appropriate solutions with specific issues on a case by case basis when they arise.

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you about the potential new ordinance outlawing backyard chickens in the city of Tigard. I personally do not have chickens anymore, but I had them for many years here, in the city of Tigard and had no issues. We never had complaints from the neighbors, or any issues caused by our flock. I think this decision should not be taken lightly. Our girls were a big part of our family, no different than a cat or dog and asking people to simply"give them away" which, I will also tell you, is not an easy task, is just not fair.There are not many options and unfortunately, in most cases,the chickens will be killed. How would you feel if you were asked to have your pet killed? Hens, for the most part, are quiet animals other than the few minutes they are laying eggs. This is no different than the occasional bark of a dog, and they should be treated equally. I can, however, understand heftier restrictions being made for Roosters, as they are much louder and more aggressive. Please take some serious thought into this decision. I get to see a lovely flock on my daily walks and they bring me so much joy, as do others who see them on their walks. Thank you for your time and consideration.

No place I'd rather live right now. I'm going to try to attend the meeting on the 20th (thanks for having it), but just in case I can't. In regards to the chicken question. Thanks for hearing from the community and trying to make a decision that's best for all of us. I have to believe this is a question of case to case basis, backyard size and not that of limiting the number of chickens. I have a tiny backyard, and two chickens might be too many but I have other friends here in Tigard that could handle a nice little batch without creating any havoc at all. I wonder if this can/should be handled like we do with nuisance dogs-case by case. I run my own business out of my home here in Tigard and have a great feeling every time I don't add a car to the road in the morning. It's good for all of us-and I'm able to do it. I think chickens are maybe the same way: No carbon footprint in grabbing eggs from your own backyard, and they certainly taste better. Yes, the second the process becomes a nuisance for someone else, we should probably respond, but as long as our neighbors are doing the right things for the right reason, we should encourage that, right? Telling someone with a backyard that can sustain chickens that they are limited feels a little like telling me I have to find an office to work-just because others haven't found out how to make a good living working at home. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Name ROGER POTTHOFF Email rog.potthoff@live.com Phone Number 503-989-3846 Anything else you'd like us to know before the event? In light of the upcoming election in November when Tigard voters will be electing 3 new people to the City Council AND a new mayor, all of whom taking office in January. Effectively this wholesale change- out f elected officials will come less than 3 months after a Council vote on this important matter regarding changes to the Tigard Muni Code(TMC). Changes that, in my personal experience for better or worse will impact public health, livability and the peace and safety of Tigard neighborhoods. So, given the current "lameduck" status of 4 of the 5 elected positions in Tigard city government, and the timing of a Council/Mayor vote on this important set of changes to the TMC before January-the aspiring soon-to-be elected office holders need to be involved and speak to this issue. My preference is that not only do these candidates partcipate in the public info process, but the vote on the proposed changes is postponed until after the new elected city officials are seated in January.The fact is that It's been 4 years since the City Council and Mayor in 2018 voted to eliminate more-or-less all TMC regulations relating to the livestock, including chickens, etc in/on residential zoned properties. A move Mayor Snider, and at least 2 council members have, on the record, lamented. So what's the rush in again entrusting this important matter to this now "lameduck" government? as The countdown now qiuckens to the November election and the January transition to a renewed choice in the governing of Tigard by the voters of Tigard.

I am a resident of northern Washington County, but I work in Tigard. I am writing to express my concern about regulations that will severely limit chickens in Tigard. I ride my bike on the Fanno Creek Trail every day when I commute to and from work. I pass the chickens that live along the trail near Tigard street.These hens have a huge,grassy enclosure that is full of plants, grass, and trees. It is the nicest chicken enclosure I have ever seen. I sometimes stop and observe the chickens. I like to see how the flock has changed over the years. I live in a community that has six chickens. I like to compare our birds with the Fanno Creek Trail flock. I frequently notice other people stopping to observe the birds.They bring pleasure and enjoyment to the people who use the trail. I recently visited the Sprague family on SW Ann St.This family has three adorable goats and thirty poultry. Most of the animals have been rescued from other properties. One of their neighbors is claiming that this property is creating a significant rodent problem. I know that birds and livestocks can attract rodents.They drop grain on the ground and spread it through their feces.The Spragues told me about the efforts they are making to reduce the rodent problem, which include setting rat traps. The Sprague flock provides benefits for the local neighborhood, as the family shares eggs with their neighbors. People also enjoy visiting the animals. When I visited it became apparent to me that the Spragues care deeply about their animals, and they are cared for very well. I understand that the city of Tigard is considering a proposal that would limit people to owning four to six hens.This is not reasonable. It would cause undue hardship to families such as the Spragues. If the city is going to place a limit on the number of chickens,the limit should be a bigger number, such as fifteen birds. People who already have more than the alloted quota should be allowed to reduce their flocks through death and attrition. They should not be forced to get rid of their birds. Thank you for considering my views.

Having 6 chickens would mean a 4ftx6ft coop which is fairly large since it is just sleeping as well as having room for nesting boxes. .They snuggle up at night and if you had small breed chickens, at least half of that coop space is unnecessary. Roost length is more important at about 8-10inches/avg size bird. So 6 chickens would be a minimum 4ft in roost length. For bantams (small breed it is recommended 6in/bird and 2sqft/bird. haps://fisherbarns.com/blog/what-size-chicken-coop-do-i-need/ This site shows that small (lighter) breeds need 2sqft, avg need 3sqft, large need 4sqft. When purchasing coops, often it says "good for 3-5 chickens" but they never say how big of chickens they are accounting for. This is when roost size is more important and know when size breeds you have.That might be 5 small or 3 avg or only 2 large breeds. When I had 4 chickens in one coop- it was about a 3ftx4ft= 12sgft (3sqft/avg size bird) and that was a good size for them given they had a large run and only sleep/nest (1 or 2 at a time) in coop. If food and water are stored in the coop,then it would have to be large enough to store all of that in one section that would not get pooped on at night, still have nesting boxes, and a light source during the day so with all that, a larger size coop would be needed. But if we are talking about absolute minimums, especially when needing the license for more than 6 and needing to meet the absolute minimums for that,4sqft is too high in my opinion.There are a lot of case by case situations regarding this so it is hard to create a one size fits all. I think having the infographics on the Tigard site where people that are looking into starting this journey would be nice. So that if someone see the 2sqft a chicken and get the smallest coop for that but does not see that the roost is not long enough, they want to keep the food and water in the coop but there is not enough roomy etc,they would know what exactly to look for for their set up. 2)"Runs must be covered with a replaceable ground cover appropriate to the type of animal being contained,to reduce smells, flies, and weeds" This needs more clarification - is this like using sand?Acts like cat litter to easily scoop feces? If so, that is only realistic in some portions- I like to have grass available in the run if possible for them to graze so that would be prevented (I imagine that is a good source for a goat's diet as well) . If it applies to plants such as grass as ground cover,that is hard to maintain 24/7 for 100%of the run as it requires time to grow if ripped up etc. Ariana Wiss On Tue, Sep 13, 2022 at 8:59 AM Hope Pollard <hopep@tigard-or.gov>wrote: Hello everyone, If you're receiving this email it's because you're on our interested parties list for urban agriculture and livestock in Tigard.Thank you for your interest in keeping Tigard a place to call home!

I just wanted to express my support for continuing to allow chicken raising, which I believe makes the community better (particularly the home along the Fanno Creek Trail that my children love to visit). If additional restrictions are necessary, please consider limiting them to roosters (not hens)which are a much greater nuisance to neighbors.

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderldentification Hello, I am a young adult in Tigard,and my family has chickens. I have heard about the proposed changes to the regulations that might limit our ability to have chickens at our house. I would ask that we keep the regulations as they are. We have had chickens for many years and never had any complaints; quite the opposite actually, I hear very frequently from other Tigard residents that they enjoy seeing our chickens very much. I have even been told on many occasions that coming to see our chickens is the destination on their walk down the Fanno Creek Trail for many families with young children. Urban agriculture has been a very positive thing in my experience,as well as getting to share with other people by means of getting to see a garden or chickens up close. I wish I could attend the open house, however I unfortunately do not think I can fit it in my schedule.

I am writing on behalf of those chickens and their owner. I have read on the internet there is currently only light ordinance on chickens in urban settings. I.e. "chickens are not a problem until they becoime a problem". I believe it to be a good idea to keep it this way, as the chickens themselves are not a problem if kept appropriately. On the other hand, increasing restrictions on keeping livestock in the backyard negatively affects the texture of a neighborhood. I grew up in Berlin Germany. Though the city was walled in at the time and building space scarce in result, there were still a couple of farms operating within the city. We were one of those lucky families to live accross the street of one of these farms! As a child, it was perfectly normal for me to hear the rooster crowing in the morning. I actually missed it when the farmer gave up his chickens. Urban livestock reminds us of where our food comes from (or used to). Backyards with livestock in them are gems in an ocean of uniform but sterile gardens. At the particular backyard in Tigard which I pass twice a day, I commonly see parents explaing the birds and their virtues to their children. It would be a sad thing to see that go. Thank you!

I am attaching a copy of a recent Tualatin Valley Bee Keepers Assoc newsletter. Additional important contacts would be Dewey Caron and Debby Garman both members of the TVBA and Honey Bee Experts. Dewey Caron has world wide experience with Bee keeping and has literally written the book about it. In addition John at Hive and Garden in West Linn has a depth of information about bee keeping. I think the beekeeping issue should not be thrown in with other city livestock issues. Honey bees are not creatures that can be penned in,they do not cause waste/noise/or pest issues and based on my questions, it does not appear that there have been issues and complaints related to beekeeping in the Tigard community. In addition, Honeybees are critical to our environment and their positive impact is wide spread across the community. Beekeepers "host"these wild creatures, but we do not tame or domesticate them but do our best to provide a healthy environment in which they can thrive. I look forward to discussing this issue with you more.

Hope, I am a beekeeper in Tigard, I assume you are familiar with the OSU Extension Service publication: "Residential Beekeeping , Best-practice guidelines for nuisance-free beekeeping in Oregon (EM9186) (which are attached). Beekeepers having more than 5 hives are already required to meet certain state requirements. With the need to promote hobby beekeeping adding another layer of regulation could be prohibitive. Local beekeeping clubs are well networked and provide an abundant source of guidance for hobby beekeepers and channeling beekeepers to this resource would be preferable to licensing and additional rulemaking. I would appreciate a call if you would have some time to chat about the reason that the city feels there is a need to add another layer of regulation to beekeeping. Thank you, Marsha K.

I really enjoyed the meeting Tuesday. It was nice to see a lot of the people we've met and talked with show up and use their voices.The conversations were awesome and constructive, at least the ones I was in anyway, I did hear about some others that were less so. I had asked at the meeting if I could see the research about lot sizes in Tigard, I'd love it if you could send that over when you get a chance. I was also trying to recall where you said you got the info on composting?You mentioned a ground cover to avoid too much nitrogen that could potentially cause excess to get into the water system. From my personal research that is really only an issue on a large, commercial scale. Everything I've read talks about how animal manure is slow releasing (for nitrogen, etc.) which makes it perfect for soil building and fertilizing plants. Whereas, chemically produced fertilizers are an environmental issue due to overuse and the fact they are quick release of nutrients.The plants can only take up so much before the excess is then flooded down to the water system. I am happy to send you some sources I have looked into, but I'd love yours as well because I am always open to learning better and doing better if there is something I have wrong or if I just don't have all the info. I appreciate the work you are putting into this project, I hope everyone was kind to you at the meeting.

I am really hopeful that the City will not listen to the few"urban farm" supporters. I cannot say much about the rabbits as they are almost always in hutches and pretty much mute. Chickens can and are very noisy and really cannot be trained to not make noise. The idea of goats, who are pretty much escape artists and, I believe,would wind up roaming the neighborhood is not appetizing to me. All in all, I believe that if folks want to have mini farms they should purchase enough land, outside urban neighborhoods to support their animals and to assure that their animals are not infringing on the rights of their neighbors. We currently have a skunk frequenting our backyard and recently saw a cayote going down the middle of SW Kable Street. I feel domestic farm type animals would simply attract more wild animals and present a danger to smaller children and pets in the urban setting.

While I have thoughts on several of the sections of this document, overall, I feel this change is unnecessary given the existing city codes for excessive noise, smell, rodent infestations and debris piles. Further, I would like to express my concern that this issue seems to have been brought to the city by a small group of residents whose views are not representative of the majority of city residents. It seems as though these disgruntled neighbors are using city processes to enact new regulations and fees for every Tigard resident,to settle a personal grudge. I wonder if this effort is truly in the best interest of the majority of the residents of the city, let alone the best use of the limited time and resources of the city staff,the planning commission and city council.Again, the current city code already protects residents from any problems that could arise from urban agricultural activity. If the city continues to pursue this set of new regulations, however, I would like to provide my feedback and suggestions, specifically for the sections pertaining to chicken keeping, as follows: Limiting the number of chickens: If there is a limit placed on chickens, I believe it should be related to the size of the property. I have a half an acre lot and share a fenceline with a property on a full acre. Many lots in my neighborhood are large enough to easily accommodate a larger flock. Six chickens is not enough for me to feed my family of four without supplementing with store-bought eggs. My yard and chicken run can safely house many more,though optimally a glock of 8-12 is enough. In the winter chickens reduce their laying and so a larger flock helps to offset this. Perhaps it would make more sense to set this limit according to yard size. License and fees for more than 6 chickens: It does not make sense to me to add a new fee for families who are helping the environment by producing a local food source. If there is a fee, I think it should be a one-time fee when you first establish your flock, not once a year.And I do not think it should be more than $20. I would like to see the amount clearly stated in this document.As someone who recently went through a divorce, unemployment and under-employment due to the pandemic, every penny counted. I needed the eggs from our hens to provide a readily available protein source during my economic hardship. We must remember that people go through hard times and food insecurity is very much a reality for many people in our city, at some time or another in the course of our lives. The training/education for those seeking to have more than 6 chickens does not make sense. People just starting out are the ones who can best benefit from this training,though they are usually not starting with a large flock.This education should be readily available on the city's website for everyone to access at any time. People who pursue licensing are more likely to be the more experienced poultry keepers and they already have read every blog and book on the subject and joined every local group of chicken keepers available to them. People get really passionate about chickens! It sounds odd but they are amazing and I feel very fortunate to have had an opportunity for my kids and Ito have them. The replaceable ground cover in the chicken run: Personally, I don't see the need for this to be in regulation. Chickens scratch, that's their nature, and this breaks down the organic material spread on the ground in a chicken run. It quickly turns into great, nutrient-rich dirt.At what point would you consider this ground "covered"?This seems too broad and more suitable for an educational resource distributed by the city.Also, chickens eat weeds, so there is not an issue of weeds sprouting in the run. It just doesn't happen.They are little omnivorous dinosaurs that will eat almost anything. Feeding food in containers, not on the ground: Chickens love to have "scratch"treats. It makes them happy and simulates their natural feeding instincts, given they are restrained in a run and not free range. In moderation,they gobble up these treats and nothing is left.They really are very efficient at eating anything and everything. Thank you so much for allowing us to comment on this issue.

I work for Tualatin Riverkeepers as Watershed Resilience Coordinator. We are a community-based organization that protects and restores the Tualatin River watershed. We build watershed stewardship through engagement, advocacy, restoration, access, and education. We are interested in protecting local ecosystems and waterways and are eager to see the urban agriculture regulations in Tigard protect our natural environment. My main feedback for the draft is regarding livestock manure management. It would be useful to refer to a source that explains good management for manure, and help citizens understand best practices for livestock that may graze and produce waste near the river. Especially in a rainy climate like ours, livestock living close to streams and rivers can be a threat to water quality and affect the health of our local rivers. Manure washing off into streams and rivers can cause E.Coli outbreaks, result in algae growth, and disrupt normal ecosystem functions.The Tualatin River provides drinking water to over half a million people in Washington County, and it is essential that we maintain a clean and healthy ecosystem to continue doing so. For this reason,you may also consider adding in regulations for good management practices that prevent issues like contamination in streams and rivers,for example requiring a buffer area between livestock and open streams/rivers. I have attached a document from OSU's extension service which details good practices for small scale livestock operations to protect water quality and may be a useful resource for information on good manure management. Please take these suggestions into account and we look forward to seeing future drafts of the regulations. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or clarifications.

Are different types of animals required to be sheltered in their own structure? if different types of animals are required to be sheltered separately from other types, does that mean that chicken, ducks, quail - domestic fowl must each be sheltered in separate structures? The draft regulation provides that "multiple shelters and animal species are allowed within a single run". Does that mean that the required size of the run must be calculated based on minimum run size for each animal hind ms tltinliead by tho imhor of animalc of that tinea with rocnorfivo total areas for each type added togetherjgyeach an aggregated total area to be shared by all animals combined? 4.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 10/11/2022 Length(in minutes): 25 Minutes Agenda Title: Community Development Projects Update Authored By: Jacob Storm Presented By: Community Development Director Kenny Asher Item Type: Update,Discussion,Direct Staff Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: 09/08/2022 Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE The City of Tigard Community Development Department manages a portfolio of ever-diversifying projects that works towards our vision of a Tigard that is equitable,walkable,healthy,and accessible for all.These projects vary in their focus area to include land-use and long-range planning,current planning and development,economic development, redevelopment and revitalization,and carbon responsible development.To help keep council informed of progress on the CD portfolio,quarterly updates will be presented to offer a high-level update to council on selected higher profile projects. ACTION REQUESTED No action requested.This is the first quarterly update on Community Development Department progress. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Community Development Department currently has 18 major projects (a few of these "roll up" an assortment of smaller initiatives for presentation purposes).The following provides a brief description of the name and purpose of each project. Status updates on all 18 will be provided at the meeting. Climate Friendly&Equitable Communities (CFEC) This is a project to bring Tigard's development code into compliance with the parking reform requirements of state's new CFEC rules.This is a fast-track project,with startup happening right after the rules were passed in July,with the first deadline for compliance on January 1,2023. River Terrace 2.0 The River Terrace 2.0 Concept Plan was completed in May,2021, fulfilling a previous Council goal to plan for the addition of new urban reserves to Tigard.At Council's direction,an application was submitted to Metro in October 2021,and the city is waiting for a final decision,after which the next stage of Community Planning will begin. Safe Spaces In response to the expected increase in novel transitional housing operations funded by the Metro-wide Supportive Housing Services measure,Community Development is preparing standards for locating,designing,and operating these spaces.There are currently no standards in the code,and state law preempts the application of local codes until at least June 30,2023.This project will ensure the city is prepared when state preemption ends. Tenant Protections In response to a third mass eviction,as well as consistent community feedback received in annual rent burden meetings held by the City, Community Development is researching tenant protection measures in other cities.The department will advance a proposed slate of reforms to help protect Tigard's most vulnerable residents and honor our commitment to equity in housing. Tigard HOME Tigard HOME,which stands for housing,opportunity,mobility,and ease,is a long-range planning project that aims to create complete neighborhoods that meet community desires while mitigating nuisances and hazards. Staff was directed to fast track the urban agriculture component of the project. Tigard MADE Tigard MADE,which stands for maintain,advance,and diversify employment,updates the existing land use regulations governing Tigard's employment lands to accommodate a changing development landscape,an evolving economy,and a constrained land supply. Washington Square Regional Center(WSRC) The main goal of this project is to help the WSRC realize its potential for transformative,equitable,and sustainable growth.The focus of Phase 1 is to update the land use and transportation policy framework for the WSRC and the focus of Phase 2 is to implement these new policies through a variety of actions.These include adopting new zoning and development regulations,pursuing funding for priority projects,and advocating for needed improvements with internal and external stakeholders. Business Support This is a"rolled up" project.Tigard has more than 3,000 business firms.The Economic Development team supports these businesses through regular business visits and programs like BUILD Tigard,Los Empresarios de Tigard,a bi-monthly business support webinar,Advance Tigard and a new business welcome campaign. Launch Pod The Launch Pod Business Accelerator provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs to start their business with a supportive advising network and low start-up costs. Entrepreneurs selected to operate a cart at Universal Plaza will receive reduced rent and customized business advising during a 16 to 24 month startup phase.During this time,the rent for each food cart will increase as the entrepreneur tests their business model,grows their business,and builds a customer base.When the entrepreneur progresses to the next phase of their business and moves on from their cart,a new operator will be selected to fill the space.Then the process repeats,helping a new entrepreneur start their business. AVA Roasteria Mixed-Use This project which has progressed through many phases,now is monitoring development of a new mixed-use building in the city's Vertical Housing Development Zone.The building will be built at a key location on Main Street on a former brownfield.It will include 22 apartments,ground floor retail including a new AVA Roasteria location,and a viewing deck overlooking Fanno Creek. Downtown Parking Staff and Downtown stakeholders will develop a parking strategy and a multi-year parking management plan. Downtown Reimagined This project will engage with community stakeholders on the next steps toward making the Downtown Tigard Vision a reality.The result will be proposed land use and transportation policy changes. Nick Wilson Memorial Plaza A new trail connection and small public space overlooking Fanno Creek will be constructed next to the Cooper Mountain Ale Works. Tigard Triangle Redevelopment This is a"rolled up" project.This quarter the update is on development of REACH,Community Development's 85 affordable apartments,planned with the support of$1 million in TCDA development assistance.The project will also fill in some missing pedestrian infrastructure offsite in the Triangle. Universal Plaza Planned to be completed this winter,Universal Plaza will be a place for everyone—a community gathering spot in the heart of downtown Tigard that celebrates our shared humanity and our one shared planet.The plaza,including an attractive water feature,will be a hub of activity,a stimulus for downtown's continued redevelopment,and an emblem of civic pride and identity for Tigard residents. Electric Mobility Strategy The Electric Mobility Strategy is a transportation planning project to support equitable transportation electrification throughout the city.The project will analyze strengths,weaknesses,opportunities,and challenges related to transportation electrification and will ultimately recommend new policies and updates to existing policy for transitioning to more use of personal and shared electric vehicles,e-bikes,and e-micro-mobility modes. Safe Routes to School The fundamental goal of Tigard's Safe Routes to School program is to make a shift in how our young community members travel to and from school.The program is designed to decrease the number of car and light truck/SUV trips to and from school by providing educational and encouragement programming along with infrastructure investments in support of walking,rolling,and school bus travel modes. Complete Streets This is a"rolled up" project. Streets that are complete work for people of all ages and abilities regardless of how they get around—walking,bicycling,mobility aid,transit,or vehicle.Tigard's Complete Streets policy is foundational to the 2040 Transportation System Plan and in how Tigard plans for and invests in its transportation system. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION There are no alternatives or recommendations to assess. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Attachments Presentation Community Development ,, [ I . aRK NGOn �=--- ..
