ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT— Mayor Lueb said on behalf of the Council it has been a challenging week.There were some wonderful events planned to celebrate different members in our community,but we had to cancel one due to some threats of violence,which is unacceptable. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2023 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 of 13 Cancelling the event was a heartbreaking decision for the city to have to make. Hate has no place here. She vowed to continue her commitment to a community that is welcoming for everyone. City Manager Rymer started his remarks by celebrating the Pride parade held on Saturday,which was the largest in Tigard so far. Many teammates and community members came together for the type of event that is an example of what Tigard is about. It was unfortunate that conversations needed to be held about the drag queen story time event which led to cancelling it and closing the library on Sunday. He said as City Manager he condemns threats of violence to teammates, facilities, the community and to Tigard. He commended Police Chief McAlpine,Library Director Bernard and the police and library teams that came together to work through what this meant for the event and for the library itself.We have to learn from this and figure how to move forward. Police Chief McAlpine spoke about the decision to cancel the event and keep the library closed on Sunday. She said three days prior there had been concerning chatter that seemed benign at first. They did not know if it was just one vocal person or if there should be a visible police presence.The Chief assured Mayor Lueb and the community that these were repeated and credible threats.The police vet them with the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The ideology being promoted was to take up the space to cause a reaction. There were other conversations about wanting it to be physical. If the event had gone forward,regional jurisdictional partners such as the sheriff's department would have been there to support the Tigard Police. As Chief McAlpine heard more about what was planned and considered what was learned from the riot two years ago, she brought it forward to the City Manager and Library administration for a discussion. After two days of robust conversation it was decided that it would be difficult to exclude anyone from this public event, everyone has a right to attend, and the library would still be open for regular patrons at the same time,creating a challenge in a close, confined indoor space.The default was not to immediately cancel;it was to pivot and hold the event. But she said she stands by the decision and based on what they saw on Sunday it was the right one. Chief McAlpine acknowledged that some say the message after the cancellation was,"they won." She understands that sentiment but who the "they"were that won were the children and the community kept safe at that moment in time. She offered to be available to discuss this with anyone in the community in order to move forward and heal. Mayor Lueb thanked the Chief for attending the Meetup with the Mayor event where a lot of the questions were about how we can make sure that one person cannot prevent us from celebrating each other in community. She questioned the safety of bringing her family to the event and commented that she could not ask the community to bring their children to any event where she was not comfortable bringing her own child. She affirmed that the city would learn from this unfortunate situation and is committed to being a community that is welcoming and equitable to everybody. Proclamations Continued: B. PROCLAIM RECOGNITION FOR VIETNAMESE HERITAGE AND FREEDOM FLAG Mayor Lueb issued a proclamation recognizing the Vietnamese American Heritage and Freedom Flag as the official flag of Vietnamese Americans in Tigard.

The city reached out to Just Compassion and the next CHART meeting will be held there. Ms. Nyland gave kudos to Risk Management Analyst Wheeler who mentioned earlier how words are so important and she was looking forward to bringing to Council a conversation about inclusive language on June 27. B. Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce— Chamber Board of Directors Chair Michelle Cheney gave an update in person.This year's Leadership Tigard cohort met for the final session and will graduate on June 20. She reminded everyone that Tigard businesses are still in recovery mode and their top priorities are long-term staffing,vandalism,homelessness,mental health and safety. She said the Chamber CEO is on Tigard's CHART committee and they look forward to partnering with the city to find solutions to some of the community's most challenging situations.The Chamber awarded six$1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors. She then spoke not as Chamber Chair,but as a community member. She said she attended the Pride parade and said it was a beautiful celebration. She thanked the city,Tigard- Tualatin School District,police and all partners for coming together to put on this event. She said it is important,particularly for youth, to see that Tigard is a welcoming community and their city supports them. C. Tigard High School Envoy—THS Envoy Kayla Kumm gave her final report of the Tigard High School year.

Police Chief Update—Chief McAlpine said most crimes are trending down and it was also a time when the department was doing a proof of concept for a downtown police beat. Instead of giving her regular dashboard report she introduced Officer Orth who would describe the program in the downtown and what he has been able to accomplish in two months. Officer Orth showed a slide of the sad ghost graffiti that showed up the weekend of Universal Plaza opening. By using camera systems and search warrants,the two perpetrators were caught. They caused close to $20,000 in damage. He works with Parks, Streets and library employees to make sure graffiti or other issues are reported promptly and removed. The downtown officers are visible in their bright yellow uniforms,biking on the streets, trails and behind businesses to assess things. He talks with businesses to encourage owners to work together and look out for each other. He met with the Chamber and the new TDA Director. He did a crime analysis for the week and offered to send that information to businesses. He met with Just Compassion operations and outreach to find out what support they need from police and worked with Program Manager Ezell to distribute handouts regarding the new camping time,place,and manner regulations. Chief McAlpine referred to the six lifesaving awards Officer Orth has received and added that he is a guardian of the community, solving problems and always showing compassion. Mayor Lueb thanked the Chief for dedicating already short staff to this position and she was impressed with what Officer Orth has accomplished already. She asked him to reach out to Council if there is anything they can do to help. F. Public Comment—Written: Three written comments were received, one from Emily Stuart encouraging a fireworks ban due to early drought, another from Michael Brewin on a wide variety of topics, and one from Steve DeAngelo with concerns with the fee structure for downtown events. She asked Council if there was desire to discuss a fireworks ban. Councilors Wolf and Singh and Council President Hu were open for a discussion at the June 20 meeting. G. Public Comment—In Person: Tigard resident Gabriel Buehler said he was the one who came to the Police station Thursday to report threats of violence,and since no one wants to say it,it was Antifa. He showed police screen shots of the people who caused property damage downtown in 2021 and said it got reported in the news,and the city also insinuated,it was something else.The goal was to occupy the space at the library, a page out of Martin Luther King's playbook.The flag wave event they held at the library on Sunday was just that, nothing else. People drove by and honked, and he said it was 25 honks to 1 rude gesture, so they know they have support. He said what is happening is the sexualization of children and a whole TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -June 13, 2023 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov 1 Page 4 of 13 month dedicated to it. There is only one day for Memorial Day, one day to honor his friends that died. He asked why not have a week to honor police, firefighters or veterans. He felt aggravated because homage was not being paid to the people that served this nation. For Juneteenth, the city hired the Feral Dance Crew,which is night life entertainment, or strippers. He said he emailed Mayor Lueb so she could come to the library and speak to her constituents and find out what their concerns were,but did not receive a response.The people think this is an atrocity to their children. No one was going to hurt any children and he had his children there with him at the flag wave on Sunday. H. Public Comment—Phone-In or Video: None. 4. CONSENT AGENDA (Local Contract Review Board) A.

CITY CENTER TIF (TAX INCREMENT FINANCING) UPDATE Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly gave the staff report on the City Center TIF District. He discussed how the downtown is the historic center of Tigard and there have been many plans going back to the 70s and 80s to revitalize it.A Downtown TIF District was formed in 2006 with a maximum indebtedness of$22 million for 20 years, a modest amount. The recession impacted the growth and development in the downtown and it was clear that the $22 million would not be collected by the original expiration date. To address this a substantial amendment increasing the size by 37.7 acres which would generate additional TIF went to the voters and passed in 2017. The current plan dates back to 2005 and the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan (I'DIP). In 2020 as part of the City Center Futures Project, the vision was updated to "Our vision of Downtown Tigard is a vibrant, active, and welcoming city center at the heart of our community. It provides transportation,recreational,residential and business opportunities that are accessible to everyone." Mr. Farrelly showed slides of the Burnham and Commercial Street Corridor Visions.Potential build- out included Universal Plaza, a redeveloped city center campus,a new city hall and SW Corridor light rail on Hall Blvd. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly highlighted some projects that were completed. Public spaces include Universal Plaza Phase I,Rotary Plaza,Ash Avenue Dog Park and the upcoming Nick Wilson Memorial Plaza.TIF Plan projects include Attwell Off Main,where TIF funding for planning and development assistance in a public/private partnership redeveloped a former city public works yard into 165 market rate units.AVA Main Street development included cleaning up and clearing the site, selling the property to a developer who should complete construction in spring of 2024. Alongside Senior Housing did not receive direct TIF but the agency led the project. It is nearly complete and will have 57 units of affordable housing. 32 building improvement grants were awarded to businesses and properties.This year we will be offering$75,000 in maximum matching grants to help attract new eating and drinking establishments. The Downtown Development 5-year Action Plan (2020) includes the following categories: • Encourage and Facilitate Redevelopment Projects Downtown • Improve Fanno Creek Park and Develop an Open Space System • Develop Comprehensive Street and Circulation Improvement TIGAR.D CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES —June 13, 2023 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 www.tigard-or.gov 1 Page 11 of 13 Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said he will return in August for Part Two: short- and medium-term financing. Director Hu asked about encouraging transit-oriented development. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said it is a location for high-capacity transit and is an area residents can make use of transit,but not light rail yet.Attwell is an example of this as it is a short walk to the TriMet stop for WES and busses. He added that the AVA development will also have residents using transit. In response to a question from Director Hu on how people will get to Tigard's downtown in the future and if there are plans for high-capacity transit to go through it,Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said that was unknown. Chair Lueb said the SW Corridor is still a priority regionally. Director Singh asked about the status of the community shelter at Universal Plaza and whether community members will be able to reserve the space. Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said the shelter would provide shade and rain protection and there would be a community room with technology available for reservations. He had no details as it is three or four years out. Chair Lueb gave an update on potential funding. In this round she submitted three requests. One is for Universal Plaza for$2 million. Congresswoman Salinas submitted two of them from Tigard in the 15 projects she can submit. The third project is involved in the federal process, and we hope to hear about it in July. Director Hu thanked the mayor for traveling to Washington DC to lobby for these funds. Mayor Lueb noted that there are two Tigard residents assisting in the Senate, one in Senator Wyden's office and one in Senator Merkley's office. 12. NON-AGENDA ITEMS—None 13.
