Business Meeting Meeting Date: 12/06/2022 Length (in minutes): Consent Item Agenda Title: Approve Three-Year Extension of the Broadband User Group Intergovernmental Agreement Authored By: Mike Nolop Presented By: IT Manager Mike Nolop Item Type: Public Hearing No Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE Approval of a 3-year extension of the current Broadband User's Group (BUG) IGA. ACTION REQUESTED Extend the current BUG intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for 3 years to the new expiration date of 1/1/2026 and authorize the City Manager to sign. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations 3/25/2008 1/22/2013 Impacts (Community, Budget, Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) The BUG is composed of 17 local government agencies. The BUG provides Internet, connections between agencies, security, monitoring and support,with each agency paying a fee according to the connection size to the BUG infrastructure. Instead of each agency needing to configure and manage individual firewalls, Internet connections, and security, there is a central BUG technical team which performs these functions allowing for both a more secure Internet and reducing costs to provide the services to all participating agencies. The BUG Governing Board has tasked the Broadband Operations Team (BOT) to create new documents in the following areas; (1) legal requirements (IGA), (2) administrative and governance documents, (3) operational policies and procedures, and (4) BUG Strategic Plan. This work will commence over the 3-year term of the proposed IGA extension and will modernize and provide a stable legal and operating foundation for the BUG for the foreseeable future. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION The City of Tigard could leave the BUG and setup their own Internet connections, security, and multiple IGAs to access and share data with other agencies.This would require both additional hardware and staff to set up,monitor, and maintain the Internet and connections to our partnering agencies. This route would also increase the legal document work creating and maintaining an IGA with each agency we partner with for services.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 12/06/2022 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Legislative Public Hearing: Psilocybin Center Standards Authored By: Schuyler Warren Presented By: Senior Planner Schuyler Warren Item Type: Public Hearing-Legislative Public Hearing Yes Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE This agenda item is a legislative hearing on text amendments to the Tigard Development Code. The team recommendation is for Council to open the hearing,receive a short briefing on psilocybin facilities and state rulemaking, and then close the hearing without taking any further action. ACTION REQUESTED No action is requested of the Council. The Planning Commission recommended that City Council not adopt additional local regulations for psilocybin service centers. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Since the time this item was originally scheduled and noticed, the state has completed its rulemaking on the licensing and operation of psilocybin facilities allowed under Measure 109 (passed by the voters in 2020). After extensive review and conversation, the Community Development team arrived at the conclusion that additional local regulation is redundant and unnecessary given the state's requirements. These include: •Facilities must be located more than 1,000 feet from any school •Facilities are prohibited in all residential zones. •Facility must be fully licensed. The local regulations that were drafted largely mirror these state requirements and add an unnecessary step to the permitting process. The Community Development team held a hearing with the Planning Commission November 7, 2022,which unanimously concurred with the recommendation,recommending that Council not adopt additional local regulations. Council expressed a desire to receive a short briefing on this matter. The CD team will briefly present and will be available to answer Council questions. Public Involvement The CD team provided an online open house opportunity for community comment on the draft rules. Public notice of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings was posted on the city's website and in the Tigard Times. Impacts (Community, Budget, Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) There are no anticipated budgetary impacts. The code amendments have been drafted to minimize community impacts from the operation of psilocybin facilities. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION The team recommendation is to have Council open the hearing,receive a short briefing on psilocybin facilities and state rulemaking, and then close the hearing without taking any further action. Should Council decide to adopt additional local land use regulations for psilocybin facilities, the hearing will need to be continued to a date certain in December and adopt those regulations under an emergency clause to ensure they are in effect by January 2, 2023 when state licensing begins.

Business Meeting Meeting Date: 12/06/2022 Length (in minutes):25 Minutes Agenda Title: TCAC Equitable Business Workgroup Recommendations Presented By: Redevelopment Project Manager Sean Farrelly Item Type: Town Center Development Agency Public Hearing No Legal Ad Required?: Publication Date: Information EXPLANATION OF ISSUE The Town Center Advisory Commission (TCAC) formed an Equitable Business workgroup to support the growth and development of small businesses in the two Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. Its current focus is bringing new businesses to Downtown. The workgroup will share findings from its August workshop and will present recommendations on attracting more eating and drinking establishments to Downtown. ACTION REQUESTED The Board of the TCDA is requested to provide feedback on the recommendations of the TCAC Equitable Business Workgroup. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations The TCAC Equitable Business Workgroup (EBW) previously met with the Board of the Town Center Development Agency on May 17, 2022. Public Involvement The four-member EBW organized and ran a workshop on Downtown Eating and Drinking Establishments on the evening of August 1, 2022, at the Burgess Community Room.Twenty-four members of the community participated. TCDA Board Director Goodhouse,two city staff,representatives of the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce, and members of the Tigard Downtown Alliance also attended as observers. The interactive workshop was designed to determine the preferences for new eating and drinking establishments in Downtown Tigard. The top themes identified were a desire for new businesses that added to downtown's variety and uniqueness, and used quality,healthy, fresh&local products. The EBW presented its research findings and recommendations to the TCAC at the September and November committee meetings. The recommendations are as follows: 1.The City of Tigard/Town Center Development Agency (TCDA) should make having an active restaurant community the priority under the leadership of a new, city-funded recruiting team specially assigned to scouting,networking, and building a database of restaurants that Tigard should invite to the community. This recruiting team could also network and share the database with surrounding cities to help support a wide variety of restaurants. This would require an expansion of funding in Tigard's Economic Development department to support the position that would carry out this time intensive work. 2.When TCDA funding levels allow, consider opportunities for purchasing appropriate properties in downtown with the goal of reselling the property to a buyer who aligns with Tigard's vision for an active restaurant community. 3.With additional staffing, the City/TCDA should maintain ongoing relationships with property owners and leasing agents to help them understand the vision for an active downtown restaurant community. This staffer should also instruct tenants and property owners on methods to enhance success and stability and alignment with the EBW vision.The Tigard Downtown Alliance (TDA) should also play an important role in this effort. 4.The City Center Building Improvement Program,which currently offers up to $50,000 in matching grants for eating/drinking establishments, should be more effectively marketed to property owners, the real estate broker community, and prospective eating/drinking establishment tenants. The City of Beaverton recently increased its maximum grant to $75,000. This could be considered in the upcoming TCDA budget. The TCAC voted to have these recommendations considered by the Board of the TCDA. Impacts (Community, Budget, Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection) These recommendations would impact the City/TCDA Budgets. Funding an additional Economic Development FTE would most likely come from the general fund or TCDA and would be determined during the budget process. This position would also need to be prioritized with other possible requests.An increase in the City Center Building Improvement Program matching grant for eating/drinking establishments would require amending the FY22-23 TCDA Budget or making adjustments in the upcoming FY23-24 budget. ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION If the Board favors these recommendations, staff would work on budget proposals for the upcoming budget process. Staff also recommends, either instead of or in addition to the EBW recommendations,that the Tigard Downtown Alliance expand its role in working with Downtown property owners to encourage them to lease to new businesses,including eating and drinking establishments,that would further advance a vibrant and active Downtown.
