FY 2014-2015 BUDGET TRANSMITTAL
Message to the Budget Committee and the Residents of Tigard
I am pleased to present an adopted FY 2015 budget that is balanced and moves Tigard sustainably for-
ward to the future.
Meeting Challenges
As we emerge from a period of economic recession, a theme remains that Tigard has to continue to
work toward achieving financial sustainability, which requires more than balancing existing resources
and requirements for a single year, or aligning demands for city services with resources available. The
city has set a goal of financial stability, defined as a three- to five-year path to sustain financial reserves
adequate to cover the city’s cash flow and costs until we receive property taxes each year. These finan-
cial practices have been rewarded and recognized by Standard and Poor’s increasing the city’s bond
rating to AA+, the second highest rating possible. The city’s bond rating is like an individual’s credit
rating where it takes years of consistent diligence to achieve a high rating; but only one or two mistakes
can create a negative result. In their rating report, Standard and Poor’s states that “Tigard’s manage-
ment conditions are strong” and that “the city’s economy is very strong.” The agency praised Tigard’s
“budgetary flexibility,” citing Tigard’s willingness to make service reductions when financially necessary
and that “we view Tigard’s budgetary performance to be strong overall.”
In last year’s budget, I outlined how much Tigard has to do to maintain and operate our current and
future public spaces and facilities. This budget begins to find resources for the operation and mainte-
nance of these properties. In addition, I noted the need to reflect the infrastructure needs that our
growth demands.
An additional challenge this budget begins to meet is to invest in the long term goals of the city. This
year, Tigard launched a strategic planning vision to be the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest
where people of all ages and abilities live healthy and interconnected lives. While there are many steps to be taken
to move toward the vision and goals, including a two-way dialogue with the Tigard community to con-
firm this path, having a strategic plan for Tigard is the first step to being more focused with resources
to move the community forward.
The Five-Year Forecast
Tigard maintains its policy commitment to recognize the balance between revenue and expenses in the
FY 2015 budget by maintaining adequate reserves, realistically estimating revenues, controlling expens-
es, and auditing financial records. Tigard has almost $30M in General Fund resources to spend annually
to provide the services our residents desire. In addition, Tigard has $10 million in General Fund re-
serves. Seven (7) million dollars of this amount is a minimum financial reserve to be able to manage the
timing of property tax revenue collections (representing 25% of FY 2016’s forecasted expenditures).
We maintain that share of required ending fund balances through 2019, though the amount above the
required minimum is forecasted to shrink. Departments were requested to prepare level budgets, mean-
ing the current service level with no major changes is the starting point for the budget. Also, through
the collective bargaining agreement reached recently with SEIU/OPEU Local 503, the forecast period
2015-2019 begins to reflect slower growth in health insurance costs, a primary contributor to historic
budget growth.
PAGE 2 - CITY OF TIGARD
FY 2014-2015 BUDGET TRANSMITTAL
Generally, Tigard’s other funds are forecasted to perform well. Funds that depend on development
are starting to recover with the modest uptick in development activity. The city is facing challenges in
our funds that are dedicated to transportation and parks. These service areas have a high level of de-
mand for community projects and very limited funding. The Capital Improvement Plan in this adopt-
ed budget makes full use of those resources.
An exception is Tigard’s Sanitary Sewer Fund. Tigard is responsible for maintaining local sewer lines;
however, sewer revenues have not kept up with increasing costs of maintaining this vital infrastructure.
Without a change, the fund balance will be negative in three years. Sewer rates and the city’s share of
the revenues are set by the region’s sewer provider, Clean Water Services. The City of Tigard is the
only city inside of CWS’s service area that hasn’t implemented, or is currently pursuing, a sewer sur-
charge. The Budget Committee reviewed the services and found that an expenditure reduction would
put Tigard in danger of violating environmental rules and has instructed staff to explore local sewer
revenue to ensure safe revenue services.
FY 2015 Highlights: How Tigard will Invest Resources
The adopted budget contains three types of investments for the coming fiscal year. First, there are
some changes that by virtue of our partnerships, legal or contractual requirements, that we have to in-
vest in. Next, there are resources added to some programs that will increase the long-term efficiency of
city operations. Finally, we will begin to make investments that advance the community priorities re-
flected in the community survey, and the goals and vision of the city’s first Strategic Plan.
The first set of investments include required or otherwise necessary changes. These include increases
in the cost of legal advisory and consultation services that are budgeted in the city recorder’s office,
which have increased with the frequency of ballot measures Tigard has experienced in recent years.
Tigard will also convert the funds for temporary help with managing our fleet, property management,
and parks to permanent staff positions to meet the requirements of our collective bargaining agree-
ment with SEIU. Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (public safety communi-
cations) cost increases are also anticipated that we must pay the city’s share for this regional service.
Finally, funding is reserved in contingency for Tigard’s share of the Draft Environmental Impact State-
ment for the Southwest Corridor Project. With Tigard voters’ approval of Measure 34-210 on March
11, 2014, the city’s charter requires voter approval to advance future high-capacity transit options. In
order to bring any future proposal to voters, city will need to continue to be part of planning regional-
ly.
Next, Tigard will make a series of one-time investments, some planned over two years that improve
our services to the public by improving how city employees do our work. These include the replace-
ment of the city’s phone system, and public safety equipment including radios, motorcycles, and tech-
nology for police computers. Another one-time investment that allows library materials to be checked
in immediately upon return is automated materials handling. This equipment decreases the staff time
required for manual materials check-in, and reduces the lag time that patrons experience when they
return materials, turning them around for quicker use.

FY 2014-2015 BUDGET TRANSMITTAL
Finally, in 2014 Tigard launched a vision to be the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest
where people of all ages and abilities live healthy and interconnected lives. In creating this vision and
our first strategic plan, the city will aim for four goals that will continue to develop with the communi-
ty’s input.
Facilitate walking connections to develop an identity
Ensure development advances the vision
Engage the community through dynamic communication
Fund the vision while maintaining core services
In order to get started to achieve these goals, the budget suggests a park maintenance study to help us
identify how to responsibly care for the lands we have acquired for future parks. The creation of a
mainly electronic format of the monthly Cityscape newsletter will allow the conversion of professional
services into a staff position to support centralized city communication functions. The budget supple-
ments our GIS (geographic information systems) support; and a small financial reserve is established to
help with advancing an early inventory of improvements to walkability. And finally, this budget will
start a General Fund reserve (starting at $1,000,000). When fully funded, this reserve is intended to
fund services to allow for bridging any future economic downturn without service interruption. This
achieves a lot to begin to achieve longer-term financial stability and sets the right balance for funding
our strategic plan vision while maintaining core services.
Capital Improvement Program
This Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is aggressive in accomplishing high priority projects over the
next five years. The city continues to refine the project prioritization process. As we have in prior
years, city staff used volunteer committees to help with project prioritization. This year, the results of
the prioritization process was also presented and vetted by the Budget Committee. The adopted CIP
maximizes our available resources, especially in transportation and parks where funds supporting the
city’s capital investment are being entirely used or stretched thin. The result is a CIP with the maxi-
mum number of projects that also presents some amount of risk that staff must carefully manage. If
revenues do not match our projected expectations, or if project costs are higher than expected, it may
result in CIP projects being downsized or deferred to the future.
Another key aspect of this CIP is that we are starting to prepare for the infrastructure needs in the
newly annexed area of River Terrace located on the western end of the city. This CIP includes the ini-
tial known projects that Tigard will need to prepare for development, including: design of the Cach
Reservoir Pump Station; two projects to extend the water and sewer lines along Barrows Rd/Scholls
Ferry, and undesignated park funds to help acquire and develop park land in River Terrace.
The community planning process is underway, and the adopted community plan will include a list of all
the needed infrastructure projects and their costs. In addition, the plan includes a financing strategies
plan that will delineate financial responsibilities for Tigard, and for regional partners and developers.
When that is complete, we will know what projects will need to be added to our CIP. If those projects
do not come with additional funding sources, we will need to balance current priorities with the needs
of the newest part of Tigard. This means the next five year CIP may look different than what we know
today.

Conclusion
This budget advances the ambitious long-term goals of the city in a fiscally conservative way. The city
will continue to provide vital core services such as public safety, library services, thoughtful planning,
and maintenance of our infrastructure investments. In addition, we will begin the incremental chang-
es to advance the vision of the strategic plan.
Respectfully submitted,
Marty Wine

USER’S GUIDE TO THE BUDGET DOCUMENT
The budget document describes how the City of Tigard plans to meet the needs of the community. It
is also a resource for citizens interested in learning more about the operation of their city government.
The city budget fulfills several functions:
Firstly, the budget is a communication tool. It is one means that the city uses to explain the
various demands, needs, constraints, resources and opportunities it faces. It communicates
the choices made and the direction in which the city is headed.
At the highest level, the budget is an important policy document. The annual budget pro-
cess is the one time during the year when all of the city operations and processes are re-
viewed in a comprehensive manner. (The city reviews the needs of the community, priori-
ties and goals, and then matches resources against those needs, priorities, and goals.) Re-
sources are limited, so choices must be made. The annual budget reflects those choices.
The budget also serves as an operational guide. It identifies work programs and goals to be
achieved for each department or unit in the coming fiscal year.
At its most basic level, the budget is an accounting document. It establishes the basic
guidelines that the city uses to measure and control expenditures and to track its revenues.
The budget document has been organized to assist the reader in understanding how and why the city
budgets as it does and to provide more summary level information at the beginning of the budget doc-
ument with more detailed information at the end. Not only is the document arranged from a high level
summary to more detailed, each section is also arranged in this manner.
As the reader reviews the information in this document, he or she will see this arrangement as well as
the functions listed above that a budget should fulfill.
The City of Tigard’s budget document is divided into thirteen primary sections as presented below:

Fund Summaries
The Fund Summaries section shows the city’s fund structure and detailed fund reconciliations for
each fund managed by the city. A fund is a self-balancing set of accounts and is used to track reve-
nues and expenditures for specific operations. Under Oregon law and “accounting principles gener-
ally accepted in the United States of America,” revenues and expenditures of individual funds may
not be co-mingled. This section shows current and historical information on the resources and re-
quirements of each of the city’s funds.
Appendix
The Appendix section contains a variety of other budget-related information to assist the reader,
such as salary schedules, staffing summary, the city’s financial policies, and a glossary of terms used
in the budget. This section also includes a listing of advisory board and committee members.

BUDGET PROCESS
Staff begins preparing the annual budget several months prior to adoption. In November and Decem-
ber, staff completes a five year forecast of all revenues, expenditures and fund balances. The forecast
takes the budget and known future changes in fees, technology, laws and impact of capital construction
on operating costs. The forecast does not assume future decisions in staffing levels or proposed pro-
grams. By producing a forecast on known items, it allows the city to see the size of decisions that need
to be made. As the city works through the budget process in the following months, the forecast is
continually updated.
The City Manager reviews the forecasts for all funds and directs which future expenditures must be
postponed or eliminated to ensure a stable financial future, but still provide the necessary resources to
continue to provide current services at the same level of service in the future and accomplish City goals
that are set by Council in December.
Budget parameters and guidelines for the coming fiscal year are set in relation to the finalized five year
forecast. Guidelines can include the number of additional or reduced staffing allowed in the budget
requests, changes in programs, equipment replacement, etc. In January, department staff prepare their
requested budgets to fulfill City Council goals set for the coming year. These goals and the necessary
resources to accomplish them are included in the budget requests and may require adjustments to the
forecast and budget guidelines.
After departments submit their requested budgets, Finance staff, and the City Manager reviews the re-
quests and meets with the departments to discuss the requests and obtain additional information to
assist with their analysis. In March and April, Finance staff finalizes their budget analyses and meets
with the City Manager and department directors to review the requests. The City Manager makes deci-
sions on the requested budgets, which are then incorporated into the proposed budget.
In April and into May, the City Manager presents the proposed budget to the Budget Committee. The
Budget Committee, in accordance with Oregon Budget Law, is made up of the City Council and an
equal number of citizen members. In Tigard’s case, the Budget Committee is comprised of the Mayor,
four council members, and five citizens. All budget meetings are open to the public and are required
to be advertised as such. At each budget meeting, time for public comment and input is provided.
After all input has been received, the Budget Committee approves the budget with any changes and
forwards it to the City Council for adoption.
In June, the City Council holds another public hearing to allow for additional public comment. After
the public hearing, the approved budget is adopted by City Council resolution. The adopted budget
takes effect on July 1. According to Oregon Budget Law, a budget must be adopted prior to July 1.

BUDGET PROCESS
Budget Revision Procedures
Oregon Local Budget Law establishes procedures to revise the budget as events occur after budget
adoption. The type of event determines the procedures to be followed.
Budget Amendment
The adopted budget appropriates contingencies in several funds. As allowed by Oregon Local Budget
Law, contingencies cannot be used unless transferred to a specific appropriation by Council Resolution
amending the budget.
Budget amendments during a fiscal year cannot exceed 15% of fund appropriations without approval
of a supplemental budget.
Supplemental Budgets
In accordance with Oregon Local Budget Law, a supplemental budget is required to appropriate in-
creased resources within a fund (except for gifts, grants, and donations), or if total budget amendments
in a fund exceed 15% of the existing appropriations. If at least ten taxpayers make a written request
within ten days of the notice, the Council must refer the supplemental budget to the Budget Commit-
tee prior to consideration and action.
PAGE 20 - CITY OF TIGARD
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The basis of budgeting is largely the same as the basis of accounting with a few exceptions. Budgets
are prepared in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting for Governmental Fund
Types. Proprietary Fund Type budgets follow the accrual basis of accounting, with the exception that
depreciation is not shown as a budgetary expense. Proprietary funds also accrue compensated ab-
sences when incurred and become a fund liability. In the governmental funds, compensated absences
are paid from current resources and are reported as an expenditure in the year they are paid. And fi-
nally, both governmental and proprietary funds show debt service proceeds as a resource and debt
service payments as an expense under the budgetary basis of accounting.
Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital project funds, enter-
prise funds, and internal service funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. Annual appro-
priations lapse at the end of each fiscal year (June 30). The level of budgetary control (that is, the lev-
el at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount), is established at the program
level within each individual fund. The city maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one tech-
nique of accomplishing budgetary control.
READER’S GUIDE - PAGE 21
FUND STRUCTURE
The City of Tigard uses various funds to account for its revenues and expenditures. A fund is de-
fined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Also, funds are catego-
rized by fund type as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and Oregon Budg-
et Law.
The revenues in each fund may be spent only for the purpose specified by the fund. For example,
the revenues in the Water Fund may be used only for purposes related to water operations. Howev-
er, the General Fund is the primary exception to this rule. The General Fund is used to account for
general-purpose revenues and operations of the city. Most of the traditional, core operations of the
city (i.e. Police, Library, Parks, Planning, and Mayor and Council) are budgeted in this fund. In FY
2014-15, the city will use the following six funds:
General:account for resources not accounted for in other funds. These resources support most
central business services, public safety services, cultural/leisure services and some public devel-
opment services.
Enterprise:account for goods or services which are provided on a continuing basis to the gen-
eral public and are financed primarily through user charges. Enterprise funds in Tigard include:
sanitary sewer, stormwater, water, water CIP, water debt service, water quality/water quantity,
and water SDC.
Special Revenue:account for restricted resources designated for specific uses. In Tigard, these
funds are building, city gas tax, criminal forfeiture, electrical inspection, gas tax, library donation
and bequests, parks bond, parks SDC, street maintenance fee, traffic impact fee (TIF), transpor-
tation development tax (TDT), tree replacement, and underground utility.
Debt Service:account for the accumulation of resources for the payment of debt principal and
interest. Bancroft debt service and general obligation debt service fall into this category.
Capital Funds:account for financial resources for the acquisition, construction and mainte-
nance of capital facilities. These funds include facilities capital, parks capital, and project funds.
Internal Service:Account for goods or services furnished internally from one department to
another. The central services fund, fleet and property management fund, and insurance fund are
the three internal service funds in Tigard.
A Summary of All Funds is provided in the Budget Summary section to show a summary of each of
the funds resources and requirements as budgeted and more detailed breakdown is shown in the
Fund Summaries section. Resources include beginning fund balances, current revenues and transfers
in from other funds. Requirements include operating expenditures, debt service, loans, capital im-
provements, transfers out to other funds contingencies and ending fund balances or reserves. The
FY 2014-15 budget is considered a balanced budget as total resources are equal to total requirements
in each fund.

PROGRAM BUDGET STRUCTURE
The city adopts and manages its budget by program. Each program is an aggregation of departments
and their divisions that are similar in nature or function. Some programs have several departments,
where others, like Public Works, only has one department.

PROGRAM BUDGET STRUCTURE
A breakdown of each of these programs, departments, and budget units’ expenditures can be found in
the individual program sections.
In addition to the four operating programs, Debt Service, Loans to the City Center Development
Agency, Capital Improvement, Transfers, and Contingency provide the following functions:
Debt Service includes appropriations for interest and principal on all types for debt, i.e.,
general obligation, local improvement districts, loans and both short-term and long-term
debt for construction projects.
Loans to the City Center Development Agency (CCDA), the city’s urban renewal district,
are for catalyst projects in the downtown plan. As the Urban Renewal District generates
more tax increment financing revenues in the future, it will be able to finance its own pro-
jects. Until then, the city may loan monies to the CCDA, which will be repaid as outlined
in the intergovernmental agreement between the two entities.
Capital Improvement includes appropriations for all major construction project expendi-
tures. Capital improvement projects are included in the long range plan for city facilities
and infrastructure.
Transfers will be made between funds when the revenue is received in one fund for an ex-
pense that occurs in another fund or when city functions have more than one funding
source. Another primary reason for transfers is for a fund to pay for services provided by
another fund.
Contingency includes allowance for unforeseen needs that have not been planned for in
the current budget and some reserves. Contingency can only be accessed by City Council
resolution.

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM...
Resources to meet the City of Tigard’s obli-
gations and service needs are derived from
three primary sources: beginning fund bal-
ance, current revenues and fund transfers.
Beginning fund balance consists of revenues
carried forward from previous fiscal years,
including reserves for specific purposes
(e.g., debt reserves and capital improve-
ments) and monies used for cash flow. Cur-
rent revenues are those earned from city
operations or taxes collected during the fis-
cal year. The principal sources of current
revenues are utility fees and charges, proper-
ty taxes, other financing sources (bond pro-
ceeds) and building and development fees
and charges. The third source is a transfer
between funds to pay for either direct or
indirect costs.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES...
City budgetary requirements fall into three primary categories: total requirements, total appropria-
tions, and program expenditures (or operating expenditures). Total requirements consist of all funds
appropriated for use during the fiscal year plus reserve for future expenditures (ending fund balanc-
es), which are not appropriated and are not intended to be used. Reserve for future expenditures are
available, but are intended for use in future fiscal years. Total appropriations consist of funds availa-
ble for use during the fiscal year and include program expenditures, debt service, capital improve-
ments, transfers and contingencies. Program expenditures reflect the ongoing operating budget for
the delivery of services. The following charts provide information about each of these major catego-
ries.
The total requirements of the FY 2014-15 city budget are $244,796,655. Of that amount, 71% is ac-
tually appropriated for use during the fiscal year. The remaining 29% is reserved for future expendi-
tures. The reserves are available but are not intended to be used during the fiscal year.

BUDGET SUMMARY - PAGE 27
Total appropriations of $175,027,107 consist of several subcategories of use. Of this amount, Pro-
gram Expenditures account for 32% of the total. Program Expenditures make up the city’s operat-
ing budget. Appropriations are also established for debt service, loans to the City Center Develop-
ment Agency, capital improvements, transfers between funds, and contingencies. Debt service ac-
counts for 5% of total city appropriations and pays principal and interest on outstanding assessment
bonds, loans, voter-approved General Obligation bonds and revenue bonds. Loans to the City Cen-
ter Development Agency make up less than 1% of appropriations.
Capital improvements account for 53% of total appropriations and consist of major construction or
acquisition projects that add to or extend the life of major city facilities and assets. Transfers be-
tween funds total roughly 8% of appropriations. Money is transferred between funds to share re-
sources or to pay expenses incurred in one fund that also benefit the program in one or more addi-
tional funds. Contingencies account for 2% of total appropriations and are used to pay for unex-
pected expenses. No money may be spent directly out of a contingency account; if needed, money
must be transferred from contingency to another expenditure category by resolution of the City
Council.

PAGE 28 - CITY OF TIGARD
Program expenditures are the operating budget of the city. Program expenditures pay for the day-to-
day costs of running the city and providing services to citizens. This is the heart of the city budget.
Program expenditures may be looked at from several different perspectives. Each perspective pro-
vides a different view of the use of these dollars. The following charts show three different perspec-
tives of program expenditures.
Program Expenditures by program shows the major functional areas that make up the total city oper-
ating budget. The largest functional areas within the operating budget are the Public Works (39%)
and Community Services (38%) programs. The Public Works program consists of services that oper-
ate and maintain the city’s infrastructure (streets, water system, parks and grounds, sanitary sewer,
storm water, fleet maintenance, and city facilities). The Community Services program consists of Po-
lice services, Library services, and city grants to social service agencies and community events. The
Community Development program accounts for 9% of the total operating budget. This program
area includes building permits and inspections, and land use planning. The Policy and Administration
program accounts for 14% of the total operating budget and includes the central city management,
administrative functions, Finance, and Information Technology.

BUDGET SUMMARY - PAGE 29
Another way of looking at the city’s program expenditures is by department. This view reflects the
administrative structure of the city. The largest city department is Public Works with 39% of the
budget. Public Works is followed by Police with 27%, Library with 10%, Community Development
with 9%, Financial and Information Services 7%, City Management with 4%, Administrative Ser-
vices with 3%, and the Mayor and City Council at less than 1%.
Finally, the third way to view the Program Expenditures is by major object category. Roughly 52%
of the operating budget is for Personal Services which are the salaries and benefits for staff who are
operating the programs and providing services to the public. Materials and Services, supplies, profes-
sional services, small equipment, etc., account for 29% of the operating budget. Capital Outlay
(purchases of equipment or vehicles) necessary to running programs and providing services accounts
for about 2% of the operating budget. Finally, Interdepartmental expenses pay for services provided
within the city and make up 17% of operating expenses.

PAGE 30 - CITY OF TIGARD
FUND BALANCE
The General Fund beginning fund balance is projected to be $10,142,274. A beginning fund balance
is maintained to provide cash flow for specific operations until current year revenues are received.
In the General Fund, enough beginning fund balance needs to be held in order to make payroll and
pay bills until Property Tax collections arrive in November. The amount needed is about 25 percent
of the operating budget. In addition, the fund balance provides funding stability to meet the city’s
needs projected in the Five Year Financial Forecast.
The largest portion of the beginning fund balances is made up of $78.5 million in the Enterprise
Funds. These funds are dedicated to the operation, maintenance, and capital investment of the city’s
sanitary sewer, storm water, and drinking water systems. This category grew significantly due to the
Water Revenue Bonds that were issued in May 2012 to pay for the first part of the Lake Oswego /
Tigard Water Partnership Project to jointly update and expand the water treatment plant and secure
a water source for the City of Tigard. The fund balance is starting to decline as the project is pro-
gressing.
The Capital Project Funds include $1.4 million for parks development, street capital improvement
projects and facilities projects. The purpose of the capital project funds is to provide a single fund
to track the expenditures related to the projects. Generally, the revenues to support the projects are
not moved to the capital project funds until they are needed, resulting in a low fund balance.
Special Revenue Funds include $12.9 million for Gas Tax Funds, Urban Forestry Fund, Building
Fund, street maintenance funds, and Parks Bond and Parks SDC funds primarily. The largest con-
tributor to fund balance in this group is the $2.3 million remaining in the Parks Bond Fund from the
$17 million bond approved by the voters of Tigard in November 2010. The primary revenue for the
Gas Tax Fund is from a tax on motor vehicle fuel imposed by Washington County and the State of
Oregon. The City Gas Tax Fund was created to account for a local fuel tax imposed by the city,
which went into effect in April 2007. Currently all revenues in that fund are dedicated to repaying
debt for the Greenburg Road/Pacific Hwy. intersection and for paying part of the intersection im-
provements at 72nd and Dartmouth Streets.
The city has two debt funds, General Obligation Debt Service Fund and the Bancroft Bond Debt
Service Fund. The beginning fund balances of just over $800,000 are specifically dedicated to the
retirement of both General Obligation and Bancroft debt outstanding.
The city’s Internal Service Funds provide services to other city departments on a reimbursable basis.
Most of the fund balance is in the Insurance Fund. This fund provides coverage for losses unfund-
ed by traditional insurance policies, management of insurance/claim activity, and reduction of signif-
icant liability exposures.

ENDING FUND RESERVES SUMMARY BY FUND
Where the prior page described the beginning fund balances, the schedule below outlines the budget-
ed reserves of the city anticipated at the end of FY 2015, as well as information on the prior three
years of history. General Fund Reserves are steady. Overall reserves for the city are increasing, with
the bulk of the increase in the Enterprise Funds related to the LO/Tigard Water Partnership project
and anticipated water bond proceeds.

SUMMARY OF CONTINGENCY
The FY 2014-15 budget includes contingency appropriations for most operating funds. Contingen-
cies are built into the budget to ensure that funds are available for unforeseen events and to build a
cushion into revenue estimates.
Contingencies may not be spent directly; if needed, they must be transferred to a program expendi-
ture by resolution of the city council. If not transferred to a program expenditure during the fiscal
year, the contingency amount becomes part of the ending fund balance.

FUNDING MATRIX
The funding matrix on the following pages show how the FY 2015 Adopted Budget supports expendi-
tures by classifying current year revenues as dedicated, generated, or unspecified.
Dedicated revenues are revenues that must be used for a specific purpose as determined by
law. Examples of dedicated revenues include state gas tax, system development charges and
bond proceeds.
Generated revenues are revenues that the city receives as a result of activities. Examples of
generated revenues include various fees and fines, internal reimbursements for services, and
utility sales.
Unspecified revenues fall into two categories:
Undedicated general governmental revenues of the General Fund such as property
tax, franchise fees, and intergovernmental shared revenue.
Use of fund balance. With the exception of use of General Fund fund balance,
these are dedicated resources. Because the matrix displays the current annual reve-
nue for FY 15, it displays the support of current expenditures that exceed the cur-
rent revenues (use of fund balance) as unspecified.
In addition, a category of “CIP/Debt/Transfers/Contingency” is added. This expenditure category
represents approximately half of the FY 2015 Adopted Budget. The majority of this area is for the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the transfers from dedicated funds to the capital funds that cen-
tralize Tigard’s capital expenditures.
The 29 funds of Tigard have been summarized into eight groupings plus an All Funds group. The
groupings match what is reported in the Comprehensive Long Term Financial Forecast that follows

COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
Introduction
The City of Tigard has developed a comprehensive long term financial forecast every year since the
1980’s. This forecast allows the city to project expected revenues and expenditures for each of its
funds to help anticipate financial requirements. This tool continues to be central to Tigard’s financial
management strategy. By forecasting and anticipating financial trends, Tigard can develop strategies
to respond to emerging issues.
The city forecasts operating and capital fund revenues and expenditures over a five-year period. The
forecast is adjusted as each year’s final results are known and as new years are budgeted. There are
some key assumptions in the design of Tigard’s forecasts:
1) The forecasts only assume known decisions and do not presume future decisions of
Council. This means that the operating budgets only include those staff and related mate-
rials and services that are currently approved, or are proposed in this document.
2) Revenues are forecasts based on best information available for future annual rate of
change.
3) Budgeted expenditures and forecasted expenditures are different. Budgeted expenditures
represent the maximum expense allowed by council. Actual expenses are always less than
budget because the budget cannot be legally exceeded. The forecast is based on an esti-
mate of actual expenditures. Recent history shows that the city spends approximately 95
percent of operating budget (e.g. payroll, supplies, services, and equipment). This is the
basis for forecasting operating expenditures.
The intent of the forecast is to show the relative size and impact of current decisions and what deci-
sions will be required in the future. It is not uncommon for a forecast to show a declining fund bal-
ance. That does not mean that the fund balance will be where we have forecasted it to be in five
years; it means that the city will take actions of a proportionate size to ensure that the fund balance
stays above minimum requirements.
General Fund Recent History
As a result of these forecasting efforts and a projected decline in general fund balances due to the re-
cession, the city took steps to reduce expenditures prior to the end of FY 2010 and FY 2012. Staff
also continues to revise current fees and charges based on cost recovery and construction cost indices.
There are some significant financial issues facing the city over the next five years. One key issue re-
lates to the city’s capital improvement needs. The city has identified capital project needs, but does
not have the resources to implement all of them. The following charts do not include the needed
projects that do not have funding source. The reason for this is because almost all the funds would
show large negative fund balances, which is not realistic or practical. The city will continue to priori-
tize the needed capital projects, seek alternative revenue sources, and develop financing strategies to
construct as many of the needed capital projects as possible.
BUDGET SUMMARY - PAGE 49
COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
The general fund is unique in that, unlike the city’s other funds, it is unrestricted in nature and can
therefore be used for any valid purpose to provide government services. Because these funds are un-
restricted there are also great demands for these resources to fund projects and programs for which
other, restricted monies are insufficient or unavailable. It is therefore critical that these funds be used
judiciously and a sufficient reserve balance be maintained for unforeseen expenditures.
General fund needs a minimum of 25 percent of budget in fund balance; this is represented as the or-
ange line in the following graph. Nearly half of the general fund’s revenue comes from property tax
which is mostly received in late November and December. From the beginning of the fiscal year in
July until the property tax collection in late November, the general fund expends more than it receives.
The fund balance is used in order to make payroll and other regular expenses.
Toward the end of Fiscal Year 2010, the city implemented significant cuts in services, reducing the
General Fund budget by $2.6 million and 17.20 FTE citywide. The cuts were made with the goal to
sustain the new level of services during FY 2011 & FY 2012. The reason for the cuts was a declining
general fund balance (i.e., savings), due to the recessionary impacts on revenues. Early in the reces-
sion, the city allowed the general fund balance to decline, in order to maintain service levels.
Entering FY 2013, it was apparent that the recession would not have a robust recovery and revenues
growth would remain muted. This would not allow the city to continue to use fund balance to bridge
service levels waiting for additional revenue growth. Under that scenario, the adopted budget for FY
2013 instituted the second round of financial and service level cuts in three years. The cuts were tar-
geted to achieve 3-5 years of financial stability and were achieved through the following actions:
1) For FY 2013, Tigard again made significant reductions of $1.9 million in General Fund
and central service funds and 18.0 FTE citywide.
2) One of the key components to making the forecast sustainable is changing the growth in
medical / dental benefits for the non-represented employees paid by the City from ten to
five percent annually. Non-represented employees will pick up the difference by contrib-
uting more toward these benefits.
3) The Electrical Franchise Fee is increased from 3.5% to 5.0%. Due to the timing of collec-
tions, this added only $174,000 in FY 2013, but increased General Fund revenue by
$700,000 when fully implemented for FY 2014. In addition, the Budget Committee rec-
ommended increasing the Solid Waste Franchise Fee to 5%. This was done during for FY
2014 added $90,000 annually.
During FY 2014, the city and the SEIU Union representing approximately one-third of the city em-
ployees settled their collective bargaining process. One of the major financial results is that the union
membership agreed to a medical/dental benefit cost sharing structure similar to the one implemented
with non-represented employees the year before. When the two employee groups are combined, the
change in the growth of the city’s cost in medical/dental benefits going from 10% annually to 5% has
lowered overall annual growth rate in all expenditures from 3.5% to 3.0%. Over the course of the five
year forecast, this saves approximately $1.5 million in the General Fund.
PAGE 50 - CITY OF TIGARD
COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
General Fund based on FY 2015 Adopted Budget
In preparing the Adopted Budget for FY 2015, the cuts made in priors year and the promise of 3 to 5
years of stability is foremost in mind. The budget is prepared as a “Level Budget” with very few chang-
es that have been outlined in the Budget Transmittal. These include one-time expenditures for an up-
dated phone system, police equipment, library automated materials handling, and a required exterior
repair to city buildings due to water intrusion. Ongoing expenditure changes include growing police
dispatch costs, legal expenses, and conversion of temporary/seasonal staff costs to new full-time em-
ployees, as required under the union contract. Under these conditions, we are able to continue the
commitment of 3 to 5 years of financial stability.
Prior forecasts have focused on the structural issues that cause revenues to grow slower than expendi-
tures. The General Fund forecast this year shows revenue and expenditure growth to be largely simi-
lar. This change is due in large part to the changes in medical/dental cost sharing discussed previously
and aided by some modest improvement in revenues. Another improvement is property tax growth
exceeding 3% for the first time since 2009. On average, annual expenditures grow by approximately
$825,000 while annual revenues grow by $950,000. This condition permits some of the one-time in-
vestments and leads to a relatively stable fund balance starting in FY 2016.

COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
Development Funds
Tigard has been successful in getting growth in expenditures and revenues to be similar. The challenge
that the community still faces is the inability to add to existing services, or start new services. As
Tigard continues to grow, the current service level will slowly erode due to the inability to substantially
add to services. While Tigard can hope for, and actively participate in, local, state, and federal legisla-
tive change that will allow revenues to grow at a faster rate, the reality is that we will have little impact
on those decisions. Failing that change in revenue growth rates, Tigard is still faced with some combi-
nation of the following decisions:
1) Further impact the rate of growth in expenditures. With personnel expenditures represent-
ing approximately 60 percent of operations, this is the area where the most impact can be
made.
2) Implement additional city revenue sources. These typically will not grow faster, but will
provide a higher starting point for the steady decline, putting off the point where expendi-
tures exceed revenues.
3) Make further service level and expenditure reductions in one area to support additional ser-
vices in other areas.
The projections for the city’s development funds (building and electrical inspection funds) show these
funds are growing. In 2008-09, building ended the year with a fund balance near zero even after laying
off seven staff and reducing hours for the remaining staff in this fund. In FY 2009-10, the building
fund was further stabilized by a one-time $300,000 resource transfer from general fund and a fee in-
crease designed to generate an additional $250,000 annually.

Activity in the Building Division has had some steady increases. During 2010-11, five positions were
restored to full time, adding a total of 1.0 FTE to the division. In FY 2011-12 an additional 0.9 FTE
was added. Workload has fluctuated slightly over the last three years, but is trending upward and some
larger projects are underway in Tigard. In FY 2014, workload and revenues increased sufficiently to
add 1.0 FTE building inspector. This was the only staff position added to the city’s budget in FY
2014. In FY 2015, there is an additional 0.2 FTE allocated from Planning to Building to aid in front
counter coverage. It is anticipated that further staffing increases will be needed to meet the increasing
workload in this area.
Expenses of all the building inspection services are charged to the building fund. The electrical inspec-
tion fund transfers money into the building fund to pay for those costs associated with electrical in-
spection services. The transfer is evaluated and updated each year based upon the actual activity.
The revenues in the parks funds include the system development charge (SDC), urban forestry reve-
nues, grants, and the Parks Bond that was approved by voters in November 2010. Resources from
the Park SDC Fund are transferred to the Parks Capital Fund to pay the SDC portion of the capital
projects. These projects have been identified in the city’s Parks Master Plan. The most recent SDC
methodology and fee was approved by the City Council in June 2012 in coordination with the budget
hearing.
In FY 2008-09 the Urban Forestry Fund (formerly known as the Tree Replacement Fund) was estab-
lished to account for revenue collected from developers in lieu of planting trees. The fund is then
used to plant trees in Tigard. In FY 2010-11, a significant number of commitments from developers
who failed to plant were called, increasing the fund balance over $1 million.

Transportation Funds
In November 2010 Tigard voters approved a $17 million Parks Bond to help the city acquire and de-
velop additional parks, with at least 80 percent to be used to acquire land and the remaining amount to
develop parks. Of the total, ten percent can be used in downtown. By the end of FY 2014, approxi-
mately $14.7 million of the parks bond will be spent on development and land acquisition, including
Dirksen Nature Park, Sunrise Park, Potso Dog Park, and East Butte Heritage Park. During FY 2015,
the most of the remaining $2.3 million will be paired with parks SDC and grant funds to purchase and
develop parks. A small amount is planned to be spent on Fanno Creek Trail in conjunction with a
planned project with Clean Water Services.
The Parks CIP Fund is showing a slight negative balance due to the Tigard Street Trail and Public
Space project and the Dirksen Nature Park project being partially funded. In order to undertake the
trail project, an additional $445,800 of funding will be needed. For the nature park, an additional
$560,000 will be needed for construction. These will be a priority when working with our regional
partners.
The city’s transportation funds include the Gas Tax, the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF), Transportation De-
velopment Tax (TDT), Street Maintenance Fee, City Gas Tax, and the Transportation CIP Fund.
The city is able to support major projects on Main Street, Walnut Street, and several sidewalk connec-
tions within the five year forecast period. There are some funding challenges. First, Gas Tax revenues
are flattening due to leveling of fuel purchases caused by more efficient vehicles. With steadily increas-
ing maintenance operations, street light and signal energy bills, and steady debt service payments
through FY 2020, the ability to pay for capital out of this fund is being compromised. Second, there
are two partially funded projects totaling $3.4 million in the Transportation CIP fund that is driving the
fund balance negative in FY 2018 and FY 2019. The two projects are the McDonald/Gaarde/Pacific
Hwy Intersection ($400,000) and the McDonald/Hall Intersection ($3,050,000). If funding is not iden-
tified, the projects will be re-scoped or delayed; this decision will need to be made soon on the
McDonald/Gaarde/Pacific Hwy Intersection as it is nearly ready to start construction.
PAGE 54 - CITY OF TIGARD
COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
The city gas tax was established to account for revenues generated from Tigard’s local gas tax. The 3-
cent tax was developed by a citizen task force who recommended it as a way to fund improvements to
the Greenburg Rd./Pacific Hwy./Main St. intersection. All proceeds generated are currently dedicated
to this one project. Repaying the debt service for this project will take about half of the funds re-
sources allowing the fund balance to grow. In 2009 the Oregon Legislature passed an update to the
state gas tax that required the Tigard City Council to make adjustments to the city gas tax. As a result
of the legislative action, the City Council chose to make the city’s gas tax continuous, and to identify
specific projects through a public process for which the tax will be dedicated. The adopted budget in-
cludes the next project recommended by the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC). The
budget includes $2.5 million of City Gas Tax for the McDonald/Hall Intersection project.
The traffic impact fee (TIF) is a charge on new development established by Washington County, but
collected by cities. This fee was phased out as the transportation development tax (TDT) is phased in.
It is anticipated that remaining TIF resources will be spent in FY 2015. The TDT was approved by
Washington County voters in November 2008. However developments approved prior to July 1, 2009
still pay the TIF.
Because these fees are based on new development, the amount of revenue fluctuates with building ac-
tivity and the city has experienced a decline in this activity. In addition, the Washington County Board
of Commissioners has granted discounts on the TDT to developers, slowing the phase in of the fee.
That action has negatively impacted the city’s revenues in this fund. The fees collected from the TIF
and TDT may only be used for roadway and transit capital improvements that provide additional ca-
pacity to major transportation systems, and to pay the costs of administering the program. Like the gas
tax fund, the forecast includes only those street projects that the fund can afford. The remaining TIF
revenue will be used in FY 2015. TDT revenues are increasing with the modest growth in develop-
ment. This is the one resource that has programed capacity among the transportation funds.
The city took steps to address existing local street conditions by adopting a Street Maintenance Fee in
November 2003 with an update approved in January 2010. This fee provides a stable source of reve-
nue designated for use in the maintenance of existing streets. The Tigard Municipal Code requires that
the fee be evaluated every five years. The most recent evaluation showed that the cost of maintaining
the roads at the city’s standard has increased and the prior Street Maintenance Fee was inadequate to
cover the costs. Therefore the fee increased over a two year period with full implementation in January
2012. The revenue from the fee is designed to prevent further deterioration of the city’s overall pave-
ment condition and the update included right-of-way maintenance component of $100,000. The in-
crease in the fee is sufficient to only maintain the current pavement condition. The fund balance is
needed, since most of the program’s expenditures happen in the beginning of the fiscal year when the
weather is good for construction.

Sanitary and Stormwater Funds
These funds support all of the sanitary sewer and stormwater collection and detention systems in the
city. The city provides these services based upon an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Clean
Water Services (CWS), which is a local service district in Washington County that provides both sani-
tary sewer treatment and stormwater management services. The Board of Directors of CWS sets all
service charges and system development charges for both sanitary sewer and stormwater services
throughout the service district.
Tigard is responsible for maintaining local sewer lines; however, sewer revenues have not kept up with
increasing costs of maintaining this vital infrastructure. Without a change, the fund balance will ap-
proach zero in five years. Sewer rates and the city’s share of the revenues are set by the region’s sewer
provider, Clean Water Services (CWS). For every dollar that a customer pays, $0.84 goes to CWS,
$0.05 goes to the General Fund as the Franchise Fee, and $0.11 goes to the Sewer Fund. The City of
Tigard is the only city inside of CWS’s service area that hasn’t implemented, or is currently pursuing a
sewer surcharge.
The financial forecast for the Sanitary Sewer Fund shows fund balance shrinking from $4.5 million in
FY 2014 to -$1.0 million five years later, a decrease of $5.5 million, or approximately $1.1 million per
year. Operating revenues in the fund are $2.0 million and has very limited growth. Operational costs
are approximately $1.9. Operations alone are use the available operating revenues. This means that the
city’s infrastructure needs as stated in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) are funded entirely
from fund balance. During budget deliberations, the Budget Committee instructed staff to pursue a
local revenue source to implement during FY 2015.
In 2009-10, CWS implemented a new way to share system development charges. Prior to 2009-10,
Tigard was responsible for any pipe smaller than 20” and received twenty percent of SDC revenue. In
2009-10, Tigard became responsible for pipes under 12”, but only receives four percent of a larger
SDC. This change in SDC revenue is reflected in the forecast.

COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
Water Funds
The stormwater fund shows a stable moderate fund balance in the coming years. In an effort to offset
little or no increases from CWS over the past few years, the city has implemented a $2.00 per month
charge to stormwater fees. This surcharge allows the city to maintain a sustainable cash flow position
and to construct needed capital projects in future years.
The water quality/quantity Fund has been allowed to slowly grow over the last few years. The fund
will be used on a major stormwater facility in FY 2015.
The water funds include the water, the water system development charge (SDC), the water Capital Im-
provement Plan (CIP), and water debt service funds. The water CIP Fund is reserved for a long-term
water source and other water distribution system capital projects. The costs of the Water Division are
funded solely by the revenues in the water fund.
The financial condition of the water funds is driven by both the needs in the capital program as well as
the cost of the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the water system in the city. The most im-
portant factor in the city’s capital program remains the need for a long-term source of water. In Au-
gust 2008 the city entered into an agreement with the city of Lake Oswego for a long-term water
source. The project to upgrade Lake Oswego’s water treatment plant is underway.
In November 2010, City Council adopted a Water Financing Plan through 2020 to fund the LO/
Tigard partnership project with a subsequent update to the plan in March 2012. Since then, Tigard has
agreed to buy an additional 4 million gallons per day (mgd) of capacity from Lake Oswego, bringing
Tigard’s share to 18 mgd. The forecast is based on a modified version of the financing plan which en-
tails issuance of an additional water bond of approximately $52 million in FY 2015. The exact amount
may be less by using the accumulating fund balances in the Water and the Water SDC funds. The first
debt issuance of $97.7 million was issued in May 2012.
BUDGET SUMMARY - PAGE 57
COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST
Along with the Water Financing Plan, Council adopted revised water utility charges and System Devel-
opment Charges. Water utility charges will roughly double over a five year period and SDCs will
roughly triple over the next four years.
Synopsis
The city’s Five Year Financial Forecast shows that in the short term the city has some challenges, but
appears to be in a good position to meet those challenges. The General Fund is sustainable due to cuts
in service made in FY 2010 and FY 2012 and decreased growth in medical/dental costs. The Building
Fund is stable and is supporting modest growth. Available transportation funding sources to pay debt
service on Burnham St and the Greenburg / Main Street / Pacific Highway intersection as well as ma-
jor projects on Main Street, Walnut, and various sidewalk projects. Issues for transportation remain to
fill the gap in funding for McDonald/Gaarde/Pacific Hwy Intersection and McDonald/Hall Intersec-
tion projects. Funding a long-term water source for Tigard is a necessary and expensive process and
will require significant borrowing coupled with significant rate increases to repay the debt. The Sewer
Fund has insufficient revenues to maintain the city’s local infrastructure and a change will be made in
FY 2015. The city will continue to monitor its revenues and expenditures and will develop plans and
options to manage its resources to continue to provide quality services to its citizens.

CURRENT REVENUE SUMMARY BY FUND
PAGE 60 - CITY OF TIGARD
GENERAL FUND REVENUE
With no sales or income tax revenues, city general funds in Oregon are funded primarily by property
taxes, franchise fees, state-shared revenues (e.g., cigarette tax and liquor tax revenues), and some
charges/fees for services.
Our property tax system has changed significantly over the past 20 years. Limitations on property taxes
were put in place twice during the 90’s. These two major changes were:
Ballot Measure 5 - Taxes from fiscal year 1991-92 to 1995-96 were increasingly limited
until the limit of $5 per $1,000 Real Market Value for school taxes and $10 per $1,000 Real
Market Value for general government taxes was reached.
Ballot Measure 50 - This is a property tax limitation measure which was approved by Ore-
gon's voters in May 1997. The provisions in this measure rolled 1997 assessed values back
to 90 percent of the 1995 value, established permanent rate limits for each tax district, al-
lowed voters to approve local option levies outside these rates, established a method for
taxing new property at a ratio of market value to the Maximum Assessed Value (giving sim-
ilar tax savings to the new property), and limited the growth of Maximum Assessed Value
for existing property to a maximum of 3% each year.
These limitations have reduced cities’ main source of revenue for core services such as police, library,
and parks.
The purpose of this section is to describe the city’s major revenue sources, explain the underlying as-
sumptions for the revenue estimates, and discuss significant revenue trends. Throughout this budget
document there are revenue trend graphs for the city in total as well as for each of the major fund
types. The revenue sources and assumptions used in the budget are summarized on the following pag-
es.
REVENUE ANALYSIS - PAGE 61
ASSESSED VALUE
Property taxes are assessed by Washington County and are based on a property’s assessed value not
the property’s real market value. Assessed values were established under Measure 50 and are based on
the 1995-96 tax roll value less 10%. These values generally can’t increase more than 3% per year unless
major improvements are made to the property or voters have authorized a new levy. For FY 2014-15,
Tigard’s total assessed value is projected to be roughly 81% of its real market value.
The city's permanent operating tax rate is $2.51 per $1,000 of assessed value. In 2014, the total assessed
value of taxable property in Tigard was nearly $5.5 billion, which generates about $15 million in prop-
erty tax revenue. For FY 2014-15, it is assumed that the city's assessed property values will increase by
3%.
PAGE 62 - CITY OF TIGARD
PROPERTY TAX SUMMARY
The property tax system in Oregon has been heavily influenced by Measures 5 and 50, passed in 1990
and 1997 respectively. Because both rates and growth in assessed value are limited, the recession of
2007-08 had a limited effect on property tax revenue. However there has been recent interest by local
governments in developing a more flexible tax system within the State of Oregon.
The property tax levy continues to be the General Fund's single largest revenue source, estimated at
$13 million for FY 2014-15. Property taxes, including prior years' taxes, account for 44% of all availa-
ble resources estimated for FY 2014-15. Property taxes pay for police, parks, library, planning, munici-
pal court, and several other services.
The city has two voter approved GO Bond property tax levies. In May 2002 Tigard voters approved a
$13 million General Obligation Bond to construct a new library. In November 2010 Tigard voters
approved a parks bond measure allowing the city to issue up to $17 million in General Obligation
Bonds for parks land acquisition. To date, the city has spent approximately $13.7 million of the parks
bond. The remaining money will be used to fund additional park land and open space acquisitions and
to construct various park improvements like shelters, playgrounds, trails, playing fields and restrooms.

REVENUE ANALYSIS - PAGE 63
STATE REVENUE SHARING
State revenue sharing monies, which include gas, liquor and cigarette taxes, are allocated to cities based
on population with an adjustment for local taxing efforts. Using state projections, the League of Ore-
gon Cities has produced the per capita estimates of State Shared Revenues for cities for the coming
years.
Cigarette tax is generated by two cents of the state-imposed $1.18 per pack cigarette tax. Revenue
from the tax is allocated as follows: $0.22 to the state’s general fund; $0.87 to the Oregon Health Plan;
$0.02 to cities; $0.02 to counties; $0.02 to the Oregon Department of Transportation for transportation
services to the elderly and disabled; and $0.03 to the state’s tobacco use reduction account. Cities may
use their share for general government purposes without program restrictions on their use. After a dec-
ade of constant decline, cigarette tax revenues are expected to rise slightly before settling back into de-
cline.
Liquor tax revenue may be used by cities for general government purposes. It is distributed by the
Oregon Liquor Control Commission in two different manners:
20% of the state’s liquor receipts are allocated as revenues to cities on a per capita basis and
distributed monthly; and
14% of state liquor receipts are allocated to cities on a formula basis, as outlined in ORS
221.770.

STATE REVENUE SHARING
Historical Tigard Tigard Today

These estimates for FY 2014-15 assume no increase in the tax rates for beer, wine or distilled spirits,
and no changes in the proportional allocation of revenues. Revenue will closely track the upward and
downward trends in Tigard’s 20% per capita liquor tax distribution
Gas tax is allocated to cities from vehicle title and registration fee and the gas tax. In 2009 the Oregon
legislature approved the Jobs and Transportation Act which raised driver license and vehicle registra-
tion fees, sets date for raising fuels taxes and created stable funding base of $300 million/year for city,
county and state transportation infrastructure projects. The legislation generated an additional $54.6
million annually to be allocated to cities from vehicle title and registration fee increases and an increase
in the gas tax. The change in funding was phased in, reaching 100% funded in 2013.
The legislation prohibited local governments from enacting or amending charter provisions, ordinances
or resolutions related to the collection of local motor vehicle taxes until Jan. 2, 2014. The legislation
did not apply to Tigard because our local motor vehicle tax was in place. However, Tigard’s distribu-
tion of the state gas tax is adjusted to account for revenue received from the local gas tax which was
grandfathered in under the legislation.
Since the bulk of the gas taxes in Oregon are based on a per-gallon fee, the amount of money raised by
gas taxes is declining. This is due to more fuel efficient cars, including electric cars, and people driving
fewer miles. The Oregon legislature is starting to look at ways to change the state gas tax. One possi-
bility is to change to a rate charged per mile driven.
State Revenue Sharing is allocated to cities based on population with an adjustment for local taxing
effort. It is anticipated that receipts from state revenue sharing will be much the same as actually re-
ceived in FY 2013-14.

Franchise fees are charged as part of an agreement between local governments and utilities that use
public rights‐of‐way. These agreements ensure that companies receiving special use of rights‐of‐way
are paying fees to reimburse local governments for use of public services, and to prevent general tax-
payers from subsidizing extraordinary use. Franchise agreements outline the terms under which utility
companies use city rights‐of‐way, including compensation requirements. Franchise fees are typically
calculated on a percentage of the revenues derived from sales of the utility company to customers in
that service area or territory.
Current franchisees and franchise rates are:
PAGE 66 - CITY OF TIGARD
FRANCHISE FEE REVENUE
Cable TV –The Metropolitan Area Communications Commission (MACC), a consortium
of cities in the metro area, administers the cable television franchise. While revenues from
telecom franchise fees have been decreasing in recent years, cable franchises have in-
creased.
Electricity - Portland General Electric (PGE) pays a franchise fee representing 5 percent
of their gross revenues to Tigard.
Garbage – Pride Disposal and Waste Management are responsible for solid waste and re-
cycling in Tigard. Each pays a 5% franchise fee. During FY 14 the City Council increased
the solid waste franchise from 4% to 5%.
Natural Gas - Northwest Natural Gas pays 5% of gross revenues as a franchise fee to
Tigard. Revenue projections remain steady for FY 2014-15.
Sanitary Sewer - The Sanitary Sewer Fund pays 5% of gross revenues as a franchise fee to
the General Fund. As the fee is based on gross revenue, the fee will grow in relation to
sewer rate increases.
Telecommunications – The shift from land line telephones to wireless technologies has
resulted in an erosion of telecommunications revenues in Tigard and throughout Oregon
cities. Over the last few years, Tigard has seen a decrease in telecommunications franchise
revenues.
Water -New water rates took effect on January 1, 2014. Water customer charge and water
usage charge increased by 14%. Booster pump charges, where applicable, increased by 6%.
Rate increases applied to all water customers, including non-residential customers. The av-
erage residential customer experienced an increase of $5 to $8 per month. The increase in
water rates will increase franchise fee revenue proportionately.
REVENUE ANALYSIS - PAGE 67
ENTERPRISE FUNDS - USER FEES
User fees include water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage fees charged to all users of such services.
The sanitary and storm fees are established by the Clean Water Services Agency (CWS) and updated
by the agency each year. The City Council, through an intergovernmental agreement with other sys-
tem participants, sets the water rates.
Per the intergovernmental agreement with CWS, the city retains only a portion of the sanitary and
storm fees it collects. It is anticipated that the sanitary sewer and stormwater revenues will see mini-
mal growth during FY 2014-15.
In 2008, Tigard entered into a water partnership with the City of Lake Oswego on a long-term water
source. The projects associated with the water partnership are estimated to cost more than $200 mil-
lion. Tigard's share of the improvements and cost to buy into Lake Oswego's existing system is esti-
mated to be $150 million.
In order to pay for the debt that is necessary to complete the project, water rates in the Tigard Water
Service Area increased approximately 34% in fiscal year 2010-11 and then increased 14% per year each
January. The final 14% increase went into effect in 2014. Also during FY 2013-14, the City of Tigard
negotiated with the City of Lake Oswego to take an additional 4 million gallons per day of the capacity
generated by this partnership project. Analysis is currently underway to determine the effect of this
decision on rates.
PAGE 68 - CITY OF TIGARD
CONNECTION FEES
Connection fees include traffic development tax (TDT), storm and sanitary sewer connection charges,
water connection and system development charges, and parks system development charges. The TDT
is assessed on new development to help provide funds for the increased capacity transportation im-
provements needed to accommodate the additional vehicle traffic and demand for transit facilities gen-
erated by that development.
This revenue category is beginning to show an increase after a marked decline in recent years that coin-
cided with the decreased level of development activity that has occurred in Tigard. The city anticipates
development activity will continue a slow increase over the next few years.
The TDT provides funds for these capacity improvements to county and city arterials, certain collec-
tors, and certain state and transit facilities as listed in the County’s Capital Improvements Project List.
The TDT is categorized as an Improvement Fee. Revenue must be dedicated to capital improvements
that expand capacity and may not be used for maintenance, repair, or other non-capital improvements.
As part of the funding of the water project with Lake Oswego, water system development charges
(SDC) increased. In February 2011, the water SDC increased 87%. The increase fully implemented
the reimbursement portion of the water SDC. Over a four year period, the improvement portion of
the water SDC will be phased in, resulting in water SDC fees tripling by February 2014.
REVENUE ANALYSIS - PAGE 69
PERMIT FEE REVENUE
Permit fee revenues are recorded in the Building Fund, the Electrical Inspection Fund and the General
Fund. The primary fees that are represented in the chart include: Engineering Public Improvement
Fee, Sign Permits, Land Use Planning Application Fees, and all related Building Permit Fees. Nearly all
fees are related to development activity and, therefore, reflect the level of that activity.
In October 2010, building fees increased to bring them in line with area communities. Combined with
modest growth in activity, permit revenues have recovered, and are expected to grow at a slow by
steady rate through FY 2014-15.
PAGE 70 - CITY OF TIGARD
COUNTY SHARED REVENUE
County Shared Revenues include the Washington County gas tax, the Washington County Cooperative
Library System (WCCLS) levy, and a countywide hotel/motel tax.
Washington County collects a one-cent per gallon tax on gasoline and distributes it to cities in the
county to use for road maintenance activities. This revenue source has seen very minor growth over
the past few years because under current state law the tax per gallon cannot be increased, and as men-
tioned in the gas tax section, higher mileage vehicles and reduced driving are leading to less overall gas
tax revenue.
The hotel/motel tax is collected by Washington County at a 7% rate and is distributed to all participat-
ing jurisdictions. Tigard receives about one-third of the amount collected in the city limits. Tax collec-
tions are directly related to room rental rates, the number of hotel and motel rooms within the city, and
the economy. With the slow economic recovery, the city projects that this revenue source will remain
stagnant.
WCCLS funds come from the county property taxes generated from the county’s permanent property
tax rate. WCCLS funds are distributed to cities with public libraries based upon a formula heavily
weighted to increases in circulation. The $0.17 per $1,000 of assessed value five-year levy supports
WCCLS member libraries, including Tigard, and central services that link the twelve libraries together.
The levy was renewed in the November 2010 election at the same rate.
REVENUE ANALYSIS - PAGE 71
FINE AND FORFEITURE REVENUE
This source of revenue includes traffic and civil infraction citations, which are processed by the Munic-
ipal Court, and fines for late and lost materials at the Library. Fine collections are directly related to
the number of citations issued. The bail schedule is updated annually by the Municipal Court Judge.
Revenue from fines and forfeitures are variable from year to year, but do not change significantly over
the long-range timeframe.
PAGE 72 - CITY OF TIGARD
INTEREST EARNINGS
Interest earnings are generated from the investment of cash on hand in various funds of the city. Inter-
est earnings are directly attributable to the amount of cash available for investment and current interest
rates.
The city is assuming an interest rate of 0.6% for its investments, and anticipates that interest earnings
will be relatively flat in FY 2014-15 as interest rates remain historically low.
REVENUE ANALYSIS - PAGE 73
INTERFUND TRANSFERS
Interfund transfers are the transfer of revenues between funds when the revenue is received in one
fund for an expense that occurs in another fund or when city functions have more than one funding
source. Another primary reason for transfers is for a fund to pay for services provided by another
fund (for example, Financial Operations Division providing utility billing services for the Water, San-
itary Sewer, Stormwater, and Street Maintenance Funds).
A transfer-out is an expense to the fund that is transferring the money out or buying services. A
transfer-in is a resource to the fund that is receiving the money or selling the service. For every ex-
pense transfer-out, there is a corresponding resource transfer-in. The corresponding transfers must
show the same dollar amount. The various types of interfund transfers are defined below:
General Resource Transfer
Transfer of resources from one fund to another which are not based upon a cost allocation plan, ac-
tual expenditure, or any expectation of a payment for services provided. This type of transfer is
simply a transfer of resources from one fund to another.
Direct Resource Transfer/Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Transfer
Transfer of resources from one fund to another which are based upon a cost allocation plan and ac-
tual expenditures or an expectation of a payment for services provided. This type of transfer is typi-
cally based upon actual expenditure needs by a certain fund and are “trued up” from the budget fig-
ure based upon actual expenditures.
Debt/Loan Repayment Transfer
Transfer of resources from one fund to another to pay either all or a portion of an interfund loan.
This type of transfer is typically based upon a five-year repayment schedule for capital loans.
Indirect Cost Transfer
The Indirect Cost Transfers Out are typically budgeted along with a division’s operating budget to
show the true cost for that division to the city. In turn, transfers received for services provided, are
allocated based upon a cost allocation plan. In FY 2012, the city hired FCS Group to develop a fed-
erally approved indirect cost allocation plan. For the city, the following bases of these allocations are
used for those functions or programs listed on the pages to follow:

Since the internal transfers are complex and can be difficult to follow and trace through the budget
document, the following explanation is provided for each transfer, by fund. The budget document
reflects a decrease in the number of transfers that are related to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
due to the implementation of the federally approved indirect cost plan.

EXPENDITURE SUMMARY BY PROGRAM
The city adopts and manages its operating expenditures by program. The city has four operating pro-
grams: Policy & Administration, Community Development, Community Services, and Public Works.
Within each of these programs are one or more departments and budgets units, or divisions. A more
detailed explanation of the city’s program structure can be found in the Reader’s Guide section.
The following charts give a summary of the expenditures for the programs, budget classifications, and
staffing levels.

PAGE 86 - CITY OF TIGARD
STAFFING LEVELS
The Adopted Budget for FY 2015 reflects an increase in staffing from the FY 2014 Adopted Budget of
256.85 FTE to 261.95 FTE. This increase of 5.10 FTE equates to a 2% increase in staffing due to the
additions of a Building Technician 1, two Utility Worker 1 positions, and a Project Director in Public
Works. In addition, a Communications Strategist position has been added to the City Manager’s Office
along with a few minor FTE changes during the 2014 fiscal year. A summary of the changes by the de-
partments is below.
City Management
With the addition of a Communications Strategist, staffing in the City Manager’s office will increase by
1.0 FTE compared to FY 2014. In addition, the Assistant position in Human Resources was reduced
from .80 to .50 FTE. This brings the total change to .7 FTE in City Management.
Community Development
The Adopted Budget for FY 2015 shows a reorganization of the department with the consolidation of
the Development Services and Community Planning divisions into Community Development Planning
Division. This division was formerly called Community Development Administration. Community
Development Planning will show a total of 13.80 FTE due to the consolidation. During the 2014 fiscal
year, an FTE change for the Permit Technician Assistant position in Planning was increased from .80
FTE to 1.0 FTE of which the additional .20 FTE was redistributed to support the Building Division
due to increased construction activity. In addition, transfer of the Senior Engineering Technician posi-
tion to Public Works Engineering in FY 2015 decreased Community Development by 1.0 FTE. The
net change is a .8 FTE decrease for Community Development.
Information Technology
The division’s FTE increased by 1.20 based on the transfer of a Network Administrator position from
Police. In addition, the GIS Coordinator position was increased from .80 FTE to 1.0 FTE due to sub-
stantial increase in workload and to provide support to the Strategic Plan.
Police
The division FTE will show a decrease of 1.0 FTE from the transfer of a Network Administrator posi-
tion to Information Technology.
PROGRAM SUMMARIES - PAGE 87
STAFFING LEVELS
Public Works
A total of 5.0 FTE have been added to the department. Fleet Maintenance, Property Management, En-
gineering, Parks and Grounds, as well as the Water Division will each increase by 1.0 FTE compared to
FY 2014. The FTE increase in Parks, Fleet Maintenance and Property Management Divisions results
from converting three seasonal worker positions to fulltime FTE’s based on increased demands in
workload and requirements of the union contract. A Senior Utility Worker position was transferred
from the Sanitary Sewer Division to the Stormwater Division due to the nature of the work being per-
formed by this position. An FTE was added to the Public Works Engineering division as result of a
transfer of the Senior Engineering Technician from Community Development to perform duties relat-
ed to private development. The increase in the Water Division is due to adding the Project Director
position that is dedicated solely to representing the city’s interest on the Lake Oswego/Tigard Water
Partnership.
There are no changes in the number of staff planned for FY 2015 in Library and Administrative Ser-
vices.

COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM
The Community Services Program consists of programs provided by the Police Department and the Li-
brary, and several Social Services and Community Event grants made by the city.
Police programs include traditional public safety efforts (patrol, enforcement, traffic safety, etc.), but also
include work with community groups to increase public safety awareness.
Library programs include circulation of a wide variety of print and other media materials and the offering of
a few programs designed to increase reading, computer skills, and lifelong learning.
Social Service and Community Event grants provide funding to a variety of community organizations and
groups that provide services to those in need in the community or which offer events that promote a greater
sense of community.
The primary source of funding for this program area is the General Fund.

Sometimes Tigard police officers find themselves doing atypical duties. A call to dispatch about an unclaimed pig in a
Tigard neighborhood had the officer feeding the pig with an apple to keep it occupied until Washington County Animal
Control arrived. Pig and owner were safely reunited.

A small portion of Police Support Services is funded from the Criminal Fines and Forfeiture fund. Pri-
or to FY 2014, these funds were transferred to the General Fund. Starting in FY 2014, the expendi-
tures were made directly out of the Criminal Fines and Forfeiture fund.

The average lifespan of a Tigard police car is about 5-6 years. Each car is equipped with a Mobile
Data computer. For safety reasons, this computer shuts off automatically when the car’s speed gets
up to a certain level. Additionally, each car has a camera in the front and back that is activated once
an officer turns on their lights and siren. Each car tracks its speed, braking and turn signal usage,
which is used when needed for investigative purposes.

SOCIAL SERVICES AND COMMUNITY EVENTS BUDGET UNIT: 5900/5910
Program Description:
Each year the city appropriates funds to support Social Service and Community Event activities that
assist or benefit Tigard citizens. Community organizations are invited to submit requests in January of
each year. A subcommittee of the Budget Committee meets to review Social Service requests and to
recommend funding in the Proposed Budget. Community Event requests are reviewed informally by
the Council. The Proposed Budget presents the results of both reviews.
The budget committee guideline is to set total events and social service appropriations at approximately
one-half of 1% of the prior year’s operating budget. Also, the city budgets three set asides within this
appropriation in addition to the target amount for grants: the Housing Program “emergency fund” to
assist occupants of housing declared to be unsafe; the Affordable Housing Set-Aside to assist providers
of low-income housing; and the Residential Services Agency Emergency Set-Aside to assist agencies
that provide emergency food and housing to those in need.
The city received $394,750 in grant requests for community events and social services for FY 2014-15.
In addition to direct grants, some of the grant recipients also receive in-kind services from the city.
These services range from provision of a building and its operating costs for the Loaves and Fishes/
Tigard Senior Center to Tigard Public Works and Police time to support community events.

PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM

The Public Works Department encompasses the planning, design, construction, operation and mainte-
nance of the public infrastructure. That infrastructure includes domestic water, sanitary sewer convey-
ance, storm water management, public parks, streets, city buildings and fleet.
From a broad perspective, the department is made up of two groups: 1) operational staff who handle
the day-to-day operation, maintenance and repair of the infrastructure; and 2) engineering staff who
manage the city’s capital improvement program and handle traffic/transportation management and
long-term master planning of infrastructure, as well as private development review.
The Lake Oswego Tigard Water Partnership is one of the department’s largest initiatives; partnership
funding spans several fiscal years. Tigard entered into the partnership in 2008—the culmination of
Tigard’s 15-year search to obtain ownership and control in a secure, dependable, high-quality drinking
water source. Through the partnership, Tigard and Lake Oswego will update and expand Lake
Oswego’s existing water system to serve both communities’ future water needs. When the new water
source in 2016, Tigard will have access to at least 14 million gallons of water per day—enough water
to meet the needs of its 58,000 customers in the Tigard Water Service Area, and capacity to 18 million
gallons per day.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
City of Tigard City Hall
This section includes budget appropriations and explanatory materials for the Community Develop-
ment Program. The Community Development Department budget includes three divisions: Com-
munity Development Planning, Building and Economic Development. These divisions are responsi-
ble for the following functions:
Development review permit services,
Long range land use and transportation planning,
City code enforcement,
Building inspection and permit services,
Economic development and downtown urban renewal, and
Department administration.
Since its reorganization, the department has successfully transitioned itself from its past function of
land use development planning and regulating to a full service community development department
with emphasis on developing its partnerships and operations to more actively stimulate new invest-
ment in key places. The department has started the city’s first Economic Development program,
expanded and clarified the role of the city’s urban renewal agency in downtown Tigard, and led the
development of the River Terrace Community Plan. The department focuses on long-term strategic
goals identified by City Council and the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Task Force, and seeks to continuously
update and improve the city’s Community Development Code through projects like the Urban For-
estry Code rewrite and Parks zone project planned for FY 2014 include adoption of the River Ter-
race Community Plan and the Tigard Triangle Master Plan, and continued implementation of the
City Center Urban Renewal Plan, including the development of the new market rate housing in
downtown Tigard.. The department will also continue to update and improve its permitting, inspec-
tions and development review and customer service operations.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - PAGE 265
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) establishes Tigard’s annual budget for capital improvements to
its public facility system and plans the following four years to make a 5-year plan. The city allocates
funding for its major construction activities in six defined capital improvement categories such as Gen-
eral Capital Facilities, Streets, Water, Parks, Stormwater, and Sanitary Sewer.
A CIP project is any project that improves or adds value to the city’s infrastructure, costs $50,000 or
more, and has a useful life or extends the useful life of infrastructure for 5 years or more. Public facili-
ties addressed by the CIP are roads, parks, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, water quality management,
domestic water, public buildings, and operations facilities. For the FY 2015 CIP, the city process was
revised based on input from Budget Committee and City Council. This process resulted in the genera-
tion of a five-year CIP project list that is initially reviewed by council. After submission to council, the
CIP list is submitted to citizen members such as the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee
(TTAC), the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC), and the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Board (PRAB) for prioritization. Adopted Master Plans along with established prioritization lists are
matched to available funding to identify projects to be budgeted in the current and later years. In addi-
tion, staff capacity is considered when building the CIP.
Total cost for the FY 2015-19 CIP is estimated to be $214 million over the next five years. Spending
for the city’s CIP in FY 2015 is $92 million across all capital funds.
Below are key projects budgeted for FY 2014-15:
General Capital Facilities
Replacement of exterior wall materials at the Permit Center/City Hall/Police buildings
Parks
Design and construction of the Dirksen Nature Park
Development of Senn Park,
Continued purchase of open spaces using proceeds obtained from the city’s $17 million
parks bond approved in FY 2010.
Sewer
Construction on Derry Dell Creek Sewer Interceptor Relocation,
Construction to stabilize and protect the sewer line for the Krueger Creek Slope Stabiliza-
tion project,
Construction on the Barrows Road/Scholls Ferry Road Sewer Line.
Stormwater
Bank stabilization project located at Durham Road and Copper Creek Road.

The following pages provide a discussion of the CIP on annual operating costs followed by detailed
information on all projects by system.
This included a discussion of the CIP prioritization process, followed by a complete list of all the pro-
jects considered in the FY 15-19 capital improvement plan. This list includes projects in prioritized
order by system, funding status, and summary financial information. This list is re-prioritized annually
along with new projects submitted by staff as well as citizen committee members.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - PAGE 267
IMPACT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ON OPERATING COSTS
Capital projects can impact the future operating and maintenance costs of the city. In some instances,
such as the construction of a new facility, operating costs will increase. In other instances, such as re-
placement of old and defective water meters, operating costs may decrease. As the city makes deci-
sions about which capital projects to implement, it must also evaluate the impact these projects will
have on future operating costs and determine if the city will be able to afford those costs in future
years. By approving the CIP projects, the city is making a commitment to adequately fund those future
operating costs.
The following discussion summarizes the anticipated major operating cost within each capital improve-
ment system:
General Facilities Capital Projects System Program
The General Facilities Capital Projects System Program’s FY 2014-15 CIP includes required repairs of
city facilities. These projects will have very minimal impact on future operating costs as it will not re-
quire additional staffing or materials.
Parks System Program
The Parks System Program FY 2014-15 CIP includes projects that will have a direct impact on the
city’s operating costs. The very nature of a park system requires ongoing maintenance costs both for
new additions to a system as well as maturing parks or trails. Significant projects listed within the FY
2014-15 parks systems include land acquisitions and development resulting from the $17 million dollar
parks bond that was approved by voters in November 2010. A total of $3.0 million dollars has been
programmed for both park land acquisition and development as recommended by the city’s Parks &
Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB). Of the $3.0 million dollars, a total of $1.33 million has been set
aside for acquisition and development for potential sites located within the downtown area. As a result
of the bond, over 108 acres of land has been preserved and is expected to require maintenance in the
coming years. In FY 2015, the city will contract to determine the parks operational need for current
and future parks.

IMPACT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ON OPERATING COSTS
Sanitary Sewer Program
Many of the projects in the Sanitary Sewer Program, such as the Major Maintenance and Line Replace-
ment programs, address existing and potential maintenance problems and thereby serve to reduce and
prevent future operating cost impacts. The Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program addresses those in-
frastructure needs that have been identified by the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. Although additional
sewer lines increase operating costs somewhat, these costs are offset by the additional revenues re-
ceived by new sewer customers. No new positions related to the Sanitary Sewer program are anticipat-
ed in the coming years.
Street System Program
The operating cost impact of the Streets Program is minimal and no new positions are forecast in the
next few years. The Pavement Management Program (PMP) provides corrective and preventative
maintenance on city streets including right-of-way maintenance. The program restores the wearing
course of the streets and thereby improves the pavement’s integrity, improves ride ability, and enhanc-
es traffic safety. By performing these upgrades and improvements to the city’s streets on a regular
schedule, the city is able to reduce future operating costs.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - PAGE 269
IMPACT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ON OPERATING COSTS
The FY 2014-15 CIP budget does contain three major street improvements that are partially funded
through grants. These include Walnut Street (116th Avenue to Tiedeman Avenue and 135th Avenue),
Pacific Highway/McDonald Street/Gaarde Street Intersection and the Main Street Green Street Retro-
fit project. In addition, construction has began to improve the 72nd Avenue/Dartmouth Street Inter-
section in conjunction with a substantial private development project. With the complete reconstruc-
tion of these streets, the impact on future operating costs is minimal.
Storm Water Program
The projects within the Strom Water Program are typically designed to address erosion and storm
drainage problems and to return wetland areas to a more natural, native state. These projects have a
tendency to show a positive impact on future operating costs by postponing the need for additional
staff. As a result, no new positions are forecast in the coming years related to this program.

IMPACT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ON OPERATING COSTS
Water System Program
A variety of projects are planned for the Water System program in FY 2014-15. A number of these
projects, including the Water Main Line Oversizing projects consist of the maintenance or replacement
of existing infrastructure. By maintaining the existing system, the city avoids higher future costs than if
the system were allowed to deteriorate. While difficult to calculate, it is safe to say that these projects
create savings in future operating costs. The FY 2014-15 CIP shows the city’s commitment to infra-
structure needs resulting from the annexation of River Terrace. These projects include the Barrows
Road/Scholls Ferry Road Water and Sewer Line Extension projects, and the design of the Cach Reser-
voir and Pump Station.
The FY 2014-15 CIP also sees the continuation of the Lake Oswego Partnership. This project will
provide Tigard with a long term water supply with delivery scheduled for 2017. The project will in-
clude a raw water intake facility on the Clackamas River, increased piping size, increased water treat-
ment plant capacity, and other capacity increases. The full impact of this project on future operating
cost is extremely difficult to forecast this early in the project but it is certain there will be a significant
effect on materials, utilities, and likely personnel costs.

PRIORITIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CIP
Development of this Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) started almost as soon as the prior CIP was
adopted. The list of potential projects to be considered started with funded and unfunded projects in
the prior CIP. To this, the city solicited input from citizens and neighborhood groups over a two
month period, queried staff, and reviewed master plans.
Since many of the projects in the prior CIP are underway, those projects are assumed to continue to
move forward and do not need to be prioritized. All of the remaining projects make up the list for
prioritization. The prioritization process is intended to state what is most important to Tigard regard-
less of cost.
For the FY 2015 five-year CIP, the city’s prioritization process was revised with input from Budget
Committee and City Council. Through this process, it was determined that council would receive the
final list of all projects recommended for prioritization prior to citizen boards and committees. This
would allow council members to review the list and make any revisions they deem necessary. It was
also agreed that council and citizen boards would focus their efforts solely on ranking transportation
and parks projects. Other projects such as water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater are development driv-
en and are prioritized based on health and life safety criteria which is conducted by city staff.
Project prioritization is performed by the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC), the
City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC), and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB)
along with a team of city staff. TTAC is responsible for ranking all transportation projects. PRAB pri-
oritizes all parks projects, and CCAC handles all parks and transportation projects related to the down-
town. City staff uses a set criterion that includes such aspects as public health and safety, environmen-
tal impact, system reliability, and implementation of master plans. The citizen committees develop
their own ranking criteria and rank the projects accordingly. Each group is given equal weight in scor-
ing. The final prioritized project list comes from combining the scoring of all participating groups.
Lastly, the prioritization was reviewed and vetted by the Budget Committee.
Prioritization is important as an expression of Tigard’s needs. It differs from budgeting in that it is
blind of available resources. It is common for high priority projects to go unfunded due to their cost
and available resources. The priority of unfunded projects remains important for the city when dis-
cussing these projects with our regional partners. This has allowed Tigard to partner with agencies
such as Washington County, Oregon Department of Transportation, and Metro. When combining the
available resources of Tigard and our partners, the city is able to provide high priority infrastructure
that could not be provided on our own.
The timeline for CIP development and prioritization is as follows:
September 1 until October 31—Citizen project suggestion period.
November thru January—All submitted projects (includes citizen suggestions and projects
that are already in the prior CIP, but not underway) are evaluated and prioritized by staff,
Council, and citizens from the Transportation Advisory Committee, City Center Advisory
Commission, and the Park Recreation Advisory Board, and Budget Committee.
Mid February—CIP is submitted to City Manager as part of the proposed budget.
Mid April—Proposed CIP is considered by the Budget Committee in public meetings.
First Council Meeting in June—City Council adoption of Capital Improvement Plan.

PRIORITIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CIP
How To Read The Prioritization Table: All projects are organized by system: Streets, Water, Parks,
Stormwater, and Sanitary Sewer. The table lists each project including priority, name, funding status,
funding source, and project total. Projects with a priority of “Current”are projects that are in progress
during the prior fiscal year (FY 2014) indicating it is already a high priority. Projects with a priority of
“Staff” are those that were submitted by staff after the prioritization process was completed but need-
ed to be considered for the CIP. Projects that have a numerical priority “1, 2, 3…” were ranked by citi-
zen boards and committees along with staff and are lightly shaded. These projects are fully funded in
the five-year CIP. Projects that have dark shading are considered unfunded.

DEBT SERVICE
The city has four types of debt currently outstanding.
Two general obligation bonds secured by the city’s authority to levy property taxes;
A Build America Bond (BAB) for transportation projects that will be repaid with gas tax, city gas tax,
transportation impact fees, and transportation development tax;
Assessment bonds secured by installment payment contracts with property owners; and
Water revenue debt used to pay for the city’s water agreement with the City of Lake Oswego. The wa-
ter revenue debt is in two pieces: a $97.7 million water revenue bond and $2.4 million ARRA loan. Al-
so, the city has the authority to issue short term bond anticipation notes secured by the city’s full faith
and credit and the ability to assess property owners when the related project is complete.
The city’s current outstanding debt payments (principal plus interest) are as follows:

Future Debt Limit
At this time, the city intends to issue a second Water Revenue Bond FY 2014-15. Depending on
whether or not the Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership receives favorable construction bids, the
amount of this next issue will range between $42 and $55.5 million.
The portion of the Build America Bonds that are repaid with Gas Tax revenues will compete with op-
erational needs for road maintenance. Otherwise, existing debt levels have no direct impact on current
or future city operations.
In 2010 Moody’s gave the City of Tigard a general obligation bond rating of Aa2. In the spring of 2014
Standard and Poor’s upgraded its AA rating for the city’s general obligation bonds to AA+.
In 2012, the city received its first revenue bond ratings for its water revenue bond. The city received
ratings of A1 by Moody’s and AA- by Standard and Poor’s.
Legal Debt Limit
Oregon statutes limit local government debt to 3% of true cash value. The debt limit calculation ex-
cludes debt related to assessments; therefore only outstanding general obligation debt is subject to the
limitation. The limit for FY 2014-15 will be $210,982,614 based upon the estimated market value of
$7,032,753,815.

GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND—LIBRARY
The Tigard Public Library general obligation bond was authorized by voters on May 21, 2002. The
initial bond was purchased in whole by the State of Oregon through the Oregon Economic and Com-
munity Development Department. In 2011, the initial bond was refunded at the same time that Tigard
sold the Parks bond. The new issue saved Tigard property tax payers $863,289 over the remaining life
of the bond. Bond proceeds were used to purchase a 14.7 acre parcel and construct a two-story 47,500
square foot library. The new library opened in August 2004.

TIGARD TRANSPORTATION BUILD AMERICA BOND
The Tigard Transportation Bond is a full faith and credit obligation authorized by Tigard City Council
in Resolution #10-26 and issued on June 21, 2010. The bond has a ten year repayment with an oppor-
tunity to call the bond after seven years. The bond is a Build America Bond (BAB) which is part of
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). A BAB is a taxable bond for the bond holder.
To make the bond attractive to the bond holder, the interest rate is higher than a tax-exempt bond;
however, the Federal Government initially agreed to reimburse the City of Tigard 35% of the interest
paid by the City (the BAB Subsidy). Due to sequestering, the Federal Government has reduced that
subsidy to about 31.95%. The result for this Transportation Bond is that Tigard pays interest at 4.35%
to the Bond Holder, but after the BAB Subsidy, the net debt service is lowered and the net interest
cost to Tigard is about 2.96%.
The bond was issued to pay for two projects - Burnham Street Reconstruction and the Greenburg
Rd. / Main Street / Pacific Highway (Hwy 99) Intersection. Of the $7.25 million in proceeds, $4.75
million (65.5%) is for the Burnham Street Reconstruction and will be repaid with Gas Tax Fund reve-
nues. The remaining $2.5 million (34.5%) in bond proceeds is for the Greenburg Road / Main
Street / Pacific Highway Intersection and will be repaid with City Gas Tax Fund revenues. Payments
will be made proportionally from each fund. The projects are also eligible for Transportation Impact
Fee Fund (TIF) and Transportation Development Tax Fund (TDT) revenues which may also be used
for repayment. From a budgetary basis, Tigard will adopt the Total Debt Service payment, the BAB
Subsidy will be proportionally returned to the contributing funds and the proceeds can be used within
the limitations of those funds. One potential use will be to contribute to the following year's pay-
ments.

WATER REVENUE DEBT-WATER REVENUE BOND
The Water Revenue Bond was issued in May 2012. This is the first revenue bond issue that will pay for Tigard's water in-
frastructure and securing a water source for Tigard through the Lake Oswego / Tigard Water Partnership. The Partnership
will expand the capacity of the Lake Oswego Water Treatment Plant, providing Tigard with 14 million gallons of water per
day. The bonds will be repaid by water usage rates and is eligible to be repaid using Water SDCs as well. Tigard is sched-
uled to receive water from the plant in 2016, when water purchases from Portland will end. The debt service is set up to
make interest only payments through 2015 with higher annual debt service payments that include principal starting in 2016
when Portland water is no longer being purchased. Tigard has authority to issue up to $62.3 million more water revenue
debt and anticipates a second issue in FY 2015 between $42 and $55.5 million to complete the project.

The following section shows a detailed listing of the resources and requirements for each fund used by
the city. Explanatory narratives are provided for each of the funds.
In FY 2014-15, the city will use the following funds:
PAGE 358 - CITY OF TIGARD
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is used to account for the city’s revenues and expenditures that are of a general na-
ture and therefore not required to be recorded in another fund. General Fund revenues include prop-
erty taxes, fees and charges for services, franchise fees, fines, interest, revenue from other agencies, and
transfers from other funds. Expenditures out of the General Fund include programmatic expenses
such as Police, Library, Community Development, and Parks, as well as transfers for capital improve-
ment.
In total, the General Fund continues to see limited growth in revenues. Some revenue streams may
have modest growth, such as property taxes, while others are expected to remain significantly flat, such
as hotel/motel tax. Property taxes constitute the largest single source of revenue for the General
Fund. Revenues received from other agencies include Hotel/Motel Tax, Washington County Cooper-
ative Library Services (WCCLS) distribution share, Liquor Tax, Cigarette Tax, State Revenue Sharing
distribution, and miscellaneous other Intergovernmental Revenue. Franchise Fees are paid by utility
entities for their use of public right-of-ways and are based on a percentage of their gross revenues col-
lected within the city. Property Tax, Intergovernmental, and Franchise Fees make up the three largest
revenue categories. These three areas continue to see limited growth since the downturn in the econo-
my.
The city anticipates that General Fund revenues will continue to grow slowly in the next couple of fis-
cal years. As the City of Tigard, along with the State of Oregon and the nation, continues to slowly
climb out of the economic downturn, especially in development and construction, revenues will see
slight increases.
The Total Budget and Total Requirements in the General Fund show a modest increase in the fiscal
year 2014-15 budget when compared to the previous fiscal year budget. Program Expenditures for
operations is increasing 4.5%.

ENTERPRISE FUND-SANITARY SEWER
Funds collected in the Sanitary Sewer Fund are applied to the operation, maintenance, repair, and up-
grade of the city’s sanitary sewer infrastructure. Within Washington County, a special district, Clean
Water Services (CWS), provides stormwater and sanitary sewer treatment and sets all fees related to
these services. CWS contracts with the City of Tigard for billing and collection of sanitary sewer
charges within the city’s limits and to provide stormwater system maintenance within the city.
Sanitary Sewer Connection Fees are charged to developers and property owners upon connection to
the city’s sewer system. The amount of this fee is determined by CWS each year. CWS also sets the
base monthly sewer service charges. A customer’s monthly sewer charge is comprised of the base
charge plus a consumption charge which is based on the customer’s average water consumption during
the previous winter. The city retains approximately 16% (11% in the Sanitary Sewer Fund and 5% as a
franchise fee in the General Fund) of these revenues and sends the remaining 84% to CWS each
month.

ENTERPRISE FUND-STORMWATER
Funds collected in the Stormwater Fund are applied to the operation, maintenance, repair, and upgrade
of the city’s stormwater facilities. Within Washington County, a special district, Clean Water Services
(CWS), provides stormwater and sanitary sewer treatment and sets all fees related to these services.
CWS contracts with the City of Tigard for billing and collection of stormwater charges within the city’s
limits and to provide stormwater system maintenance within the city. The city currently retains 75% of
the stormwater fees collected by the city. The city also assesses a $2.00 per month surcharge for storm-
water system maintenance.
FUND SUMMARIES- PAGE 365
The Water Quality/Quantity Fund is a subsidiary fund of the Stormwater Fund. The city charges Wa-
ter Quality/Quantity fees, which are established by Clean Water Services, on certain development ac-
tivities in the city. Revenues collected are used to fund offsite stormwater system improvements and
capacity improvements to the system. Revenues, as they are tied directly to development activities,
fluctuate to a degree and as such have been down over the past few years. In addition to a slowdown
in development activity, some developers are choosing to build their own on-site stormwater detention
facilities rather than pay the fee.
ENTERPRISE FUND-WATER QUALITY/QUANTITY
PAGE 366 - CITY OF TIGARD
ENTERPRISE FUND-WATER
The City of Tigard manages the operation of the water system through intergovernmental agreements
with the cities of King City and Durham and with the Tigard Water District. The Water Fund is the
primary operating fund for the water system and accounts for all costs associated to the water opera-
tion, including ongoing maintenance. The Water Fund also transfers to the Water CIP Fund for vari-
ous capital improvement projects and to the Water Debt Service Fund to pay debt service on water
revenue bonds. The Water Fund maintains a Rate Stabilization Account of $2.0 million.
In 2008 Tigard entered into a water partnership with the City of Lake Oswego on a long-term water
source. The two cities agreed to jointly:
Expand Lake Oswego's water treatment facility
Replace the existing river intake
Construct a reservoir
Upsize transmission lines
Develop existing water rights and permits on the Clackamas River
The improvements would allow Tigard and Lake Oswego to produce up to 38 million gallons of water
per day (mgd). In December 2013, the two cities agreed to transfer 4 million gallons of water per day
from Lake Oswego to Tigard, bringing Tigard up to 18 mgd. Water is anticipated to begin flowing
from the new facility by 2016.
Based on this water financing plan that was approved by Council in 2010, Tigard's share of the im-
provements and cost to buy into Lake Oswego's existing system is estimated to total $155 million.

ENTERPRISE FUND-WATER CIP
The Water CIP Fund accounts for major capital improvement projects for the water system. Re-
sources in this fund consist largely of transfers from the Water Fund and borrowing proceeds. In fiscal
year 2014-15, the fund will have a beginning fund balance of over $43 million from water revenue
bonds. These dollars will be utilized to continue to fund the city’s long-term water project.
In 2008 Tigard entered into a water partnership with the City of Lake Oswego on a long-term water
source. The two cities agreed to jointly:
Expand Lake Oswego's water treatment facility
Replace the existing river intake
Construct a reservoir
Upsize transmission lines
Develop existing water rights and permits on the Clackamas River
The improvements would allow Tigard and Lake Oswego to produce up to 38 million gallons of water
per day. Of this amount, Tigard will receive 18 million gallons per day. Water is anticipated to begin
flowing from the new facility by 2016.
In October 2010, City Council approved the Water Rate Study that was completed by Red Oak Con-
sulting. Based on this water financing plan, Tigard's share of the improvements and cost to buy into
Lake Oswego's existing system is estimated to be $155 million.
In May 2012, $102.5 million of water revenue bonds were issued. The majority of the proceeds were
deposited into the Water CIP Fund to pay for capital projects for the water system, including the Lake
Oswego/Tigard Water Partnership. In December 2013, the partnership agreed to amend its intergov-
ernmental agreement to transfer an additional 4 million gallons per day from Lake Oswego to Tigard.
During FY 2014-15, the city anticipates acquiring an additional $52 million dollars of water revenue
bonds. This accounts for the substantial fund balance in this fund.
Bonding revenues will be received in the Water CIP Fund and annual bond payments in subsequent
years will show in the Water Debt Service Fund. Funding for the bond payments will come from wa-
ter rates and will be transferred by the Water Fund into the Water Debt Service Fund.

ENTERPRISE FUND-WATER DEBT SERVICE
The Water Debt Service Fund accounts for revenues and debt service payments related to the issuance
of water revenue bonds. The fund also maintains a fund balance to provide an estimated Debt Service
Reserve Fund of $6.4 million.
PAGE 372 - CITY OF TIGARD
ENTERPRISE FUND-WATER SDC
The Water System Development Charge (SDC) Fund is a subsidiary of the Water Fund. Water SDCs
are charged when new water meters are sold and installed. The total purpose of the Water SDC is to
fund future capacity-increasing projects and pay a reimbursement fee for existing assets.
In October 2010, the city completed its update of the Water SDCs. City Council agreed to phase in
the increase over four years. Final phase-in occurred on February 1, 2014.
As SDCs are tied to development activity they tend to fluctuate. The city is beginning to see an up-
ward trend in these revenues.
FUND SUMMARIES- PAGE 373
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND-BUILDING
The Building Fund is used to track building permit revenues and expenditures. All activities of the
city’s Building Division are appropriated in this fund. The Building Division, a part of the Communi-
ty Development Department, is responsible for reviewing plans, issuing permits, and inspecting con-
struction to ascertain compliance with the State of Oregon specialty codes. The specialty codes in-
clude building, fire, plumbing, mechanical, electrical codes and other State of Oregon rules and stat-
utes. The division enforces requirements of the Tigard Municipal Code and Community Develop-
ment codes and ordinances.
Revenues collected in the Building Fund are dedicated to supporting the divisional activities and relat-
ed administrative expenses. The amount of the charge for a building-related fee is detailed in ORS
455.210 and OAR 918-020-0220.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUND-CITY GAS TAX
The City Gas Tax Fund is used to account for revenues generated from and projects funded by
Tigard’s local gas tax. The tax was developed by a citizen task force in 2006 as a means to fund im-
provements to the Greenburg Road/Pacific Highway/Main Street intersection. The plan was to sunset
the tax after paying for the project. In 2009, a change in state law forbade cities from changing their
local gas tax, resulting in an inability to sunset the tax. The decision was made by the Tigard City
Council to have the tax remain in effect permanently as a source to fund other future transportation
project needs as recommended by a citizen task force. The Greenburg Road/Pacific Highway/Main
Street intersection project was completed in December 2010. Revenue coming into the fund is current-
ly being used to pay debt service on that project. The Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee
(TTAC) advises council of potential transportation projects that can be funded by this revenue. Based
on recommendation of TTAC, the city has funded two additional transportation projects with City Gas

penditures associated with the collection of the Parks SDCs. Parks SDCs are charged when a building
permit is issued for any new residential, multi-family, or commercial construction. Funds collected are
used for the acquisition, development, and expansion of additional recreation spaces and facilities that
are included in the city’s Parks Master Plan.
In June 2012, the city completed its update of the Parks SDCs. These rates are adjusted annually using
an average of two indices, one reflecting changes in development/construction costs and one reflecting

SPECIAL REVENUE FUND– STREET MAINTENANCE FEE
The Street Maintenance Fee Fund was established to track the revenues and expenditures associated
with the Street Maintenance Fee that was approved through Ordinance No. 03-10 by the City Council
in November 2003 and updated with revised fees in January 2010.
The Street Maintenance Fee is a monthly fee designed specifically for the maintenance of existing roads
in Tigard. Monthly fees are billed to and collected from both residential and non-residential customers
through the city's utility billing system.
The fee provides a stable source of revenue designated for the use in the maintenance of existing streets
and right-of-way maintenance within the city. This includes applying new street surfaces such as slurry
seals, pavement overlays, and repairing deteriorating streets.
PAGE 384 - CITY OF TIGARD
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND– TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE
The Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Fund was implemented to account for the revenues and expenditures
associated with the Traffic Impact Fee which was a charge on new development assessed by Washing-
ton County, but collected by cities. The TIF was replaced by the Transportation Development Tax on
July 1, 2009 and was phased out over an approximately three-year period.
Remaining resources collected under the TIF program will be expended during 2014-15 fiscal year.
FUND SUMMARIES- PAGE 385
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND– TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT TAX
The Transportation Development Tax (TDT) Fund accounts for a Washington County Tax approved
by the voters in November 2008 that is administered and collected by the City of Tigard. The tax went
into effect on July 1, 2009, replacing the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) program.
Like TIF, TDT is assessed on new development to help provide funds for the increased capacity trans-
portation improvements need to accommodate the additional vehicle traffic and demand for transit
facilities generated by that development. It provides funds for these capacity improvements to county
and city arterials, certain collectors, and certain state and transit facilities as listed in the County’s Capi-
tal Improvements Project List. The TDT is categorized as an Improvement Fee. Revenue must be
dedicated to capital improvements that expand capacity and may not be used for maintenance, repair,
or other non-capital improvements.
Since the TDT was approved by Washington County voters, the Washington County Board of Com-
missioners has granted a discount to developers and slowed the phase-in of the TDT. While develop-
ment activity has been slow, the revenue that has been collected on the limited activity has been nega-
tively impacted.
PAGE 386 - CITY OF TIGARD
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND– URBAN FORESTRY
The Urban Forestry Fund was established to account for funds collected from developers in lieu of
preserving trees. Monies collected in this fund can be used by the city to plant trees in public rights-of-
way and other public properties. These resources can also be used to provide care and maintenance to
the trees planted by the city for three years after the planting.
FUND SUMMARIES- PAGE 387
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND– UNDERGROUND UTILITY
The Underground Utility Fund was established to record funds that are received in lieu of under-
grounding utilities. The resources in this fund are used primarily to support various capital improve-
ment projects that require underground utility components.
PAGE 388 - CITY OF TIGARD
DEBT SERVICE FUND– BANCROFT DEBT SERVICES
The Bancroft Debt Service Fund accounts for revenues and debt service payments related to two local
improvement districts (LID) within the city. In July of 2002, the city sold bonds for the 69th Avenue
LID project. In December of 2003, the city sold bonds to finance the remaining portion of the Dart-
mouth LID project. Bonds for the Dartmouth LID were paid off in November 2013 leaving the 69th
Avenue as the city’s remaining LID project. Fund revenues are derived from assessments on proper-
ties that participate within these districts. The reserve for future expense is to be used to protect against
fluctuations and non-payment of assessments by property owners and to provide cash flow to pay debt
service as scheduled.

used to repay these bonds and ending fund balance is used to protect against fluctuations in property
tax payments and provide cash flow to match collections and payments.

ment, and expansion related to the city’s facilities. Transfers into this fund come from the various oth-
er funds that will benefit directly from these projects. The fund is currently building a reserve to con-

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City of Tigard has an important responsibility to its citizens to carefully account for public funds,
manage municipal finances wisely and plan adequate funding for services and facilities desired and
needed by the public. The city has established a formal set of financial policies to ensure that the pub-
lic’s trust is upheld. With these financial policies, the city has established the framework under which it
conducts its financial affairs, ensuring that it is, and will continue to be, capable of funding and provid-
ing outstanding local government services.
The goals of Tigard’s financial policies are as follows:
• Enhance City Council’s policy-making ability by providing accurate information on program and
operating costs.
• Assist sound management of the city government by providing accurate and timely information on
current and anticipated financial conditions.
• Provide sound principles to guide important decisions of the council and management that have
significant financial impact.
• Set forth operational principles which minimize the cost and financial risk of local government
consistent with services desired by the public.
• Employ revenue policies that prevent undue or unbalanced reliance on any one source, distribute
the cost of municipal services fairly and provide adequate funds to operate desired programs.
• Provide and maintain essential public facilities, utilities, infrastructure and capital equipment.
• Protect and enhance the city’s credit rating.
• Ensure that all surplus cash is prudently invested in accordance with the investment policy adopted
by the council to protect city funds and realize a reasonable rate of return.
The city uses the following financial policies to guide its financial affairs:
Revenue Policy
• Maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter the government from short-term fluctu-
ations in any one-revenue source.
• One-time revenues will be used only for one-time expenditures. The city will avoid using tempo-
rary revenues to fund mainstream services.
• All revenue forecasts shall be conservative.
• Regular reports comparing actual to budgeted revenues will be prepared by the Finance Depart-
ment and presented to the City Manager.
• All city funds shall be safely invested to provide a sufficient level of liquidity to meet cash flow
needs and to provide the maximum yield possible in that order. One hundred percent of all idle
cash will be continuously invested
• The city will maintain an unallocated fund balance or retained earnings equal to or greater than two
months of general operating expenditures or expenses. This reserve will be calculated based on the
adopted annual operating budget of the city. These funds will be used to avoid cash-flow interrup-
tions, generate interest income, reduce need for short-term borrowing and assist in maintaining an
investment grade bond rating capacity.
PAGE 408 - CITY OF TIGARD
FINANCIAL POLICIES
The city will also end each fiscal year with an adequate fund balance in the General Fund to pro-
vide resources necessary for cash flow from July 1 until property taxes are received in November.
Operating Budget Policy
• Regular reports comparing actual to budgeted expenditures will be prepared by the Finance De-
partment and distributed to the City Manager.
• Departmental objectives will be integrated into the city’s annual budget and monthly departmental
reports.
• Before the city undertakes any agreements that create fixed costs, both operating and capital, the
implications of such agreements will be fully determined for current and future years.
• All non-salary benefits, such as social security, pension and insurance will be estimated and their
impact on future budgets assessed annually.
• Cost analysis of salary increases will include the effect of such increases on the city’s share of relat-
ed fringe benefits.
• The city will annually submit documentation to obtain the Award for Distinguished Budget
Presentation from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
Capital Improvement Policy
• Systems development charges (SDCs) will be used for infrastructure capacity expansion and im-
provements, including in-house engineering and design.
• Future operating costs associated with new capital improvements will be projected and included in
the operating budget forecast.
• The city will determine and use the most effective and efficient method for financing all new capi-
tal projects.
• Special funds dedicated for capital improvements will be segregated in the accounting system and
used only for the intended capital purposes.
Fixed Asset Policy
• The city will control capital assets by assigning accountability and responsibility to specific depart-
ments.
• The city will provide documentation of equipment loss to the insurance companies in the event of
losses due to fire or theft.
• The city will maintain and provide information such as depreciation and obsolescence needed for
city’s enterprise funds (Water, Sanitary Sewer and Stormwater).
The city will provide budget information for capital replacements and additions.
• The city will maintain inventories of all city equipment to avoid duplication of equipment.
• The city will maintain a list of all assets and their values to ensure the capital assets are properly
insured.
APPENDIX- PAGE 409
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Accounting Policy
• The city will maintain high standards of accounting. Accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP) will be used in accordance with the standards developed by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and endorsed by the Government Fi-
nance Officers’ Association (GFOA).
• An independent annual audit will be performed by a public accounting firm, which will issue an
official opinion on the annual financial statements and management letter detailing areas that need
improvement.
• Full disclosure will be provided in the financial statements and bond representations.
• Financial systems will be maintained to monitor expenditures and revenues on a monthly basis,
with thorough analysis.
• The accounting system will provide monthly information about cash position and investment per-
formance.
• The city will annually submit documentation to obtain the Certificate of Achievement for Excel-
lence in Financial Reporting from GFOA.
Debt Policy
• Capital projects financed through bond proceeds shall be financed for a period not to exceed the
useful life of the project.
• Long term borrowing will be confined to capital improvements too large to be financed from cur-
rent revenues.
• Issuance of assessment bonds will be pursued to finance local improvement districts approved by
City Council.
• Bond anticipation notes will be used as needed to finance construction of local improvements.
Single Owner Local Improvement District Policy
Local improvement districts (LIDs) are usually initiated either by the City Council or by written re-
quest of the property owners owning at least fifty percent of the property benefited by the local im-
provement. On occasion, the city receives requests to form a LID in which there would be only one
property owner involved. City Council has established a formal policy for single owner LIDs. The
following are the conditions that must be met before council will consider allowing the LID to be
formed.
• The property is zoned and proposed to be used for industrial, commercial or office development.
• The applicant demonstrates the “Public Purpose” involved, which may include the creation of jobs
in the community.
PAGE 410 - CITY OF TIGARD
FINANCIAL POLICIES
The applicant demonstrates that the risk to the city government or the general taxpayer is mini-
mized. As a guideline, the City Council will request the following:
a. That the applicant provide an appraisal of the property affected, such appraisal being done by
an appraiser acceptable to the City Manager.
b. That the amount to be assessed against the property not exceed 25% of the appraised value of
the land only, excluding any improvements to the property.
c. That financial documents be provided as required to the City Manager which can demonstrate
that the property owner has the financial ability to pay the assessments levied on the property.

ODOT:the Oregon Department of
Transportation.

thousand figure used to calculate property tax
revenues. Under Measure 50, all tax bases in
Oregon were converted to a permanent tax

employees in the form of salaries, wages and
employee benefits.

Proposed Budget: City budget developed by
the City Manager and submitted to the Budget
Committee for their deliberation.

GLOSSARY OF BUDGET RELATED TERMS
SDC:Abbreviation for systems development
charges. SDCs are paid by developers and
builders to fund expansion of infrastructure
necessary due to increased usage. Such
charges are collected for sewers, storm drains,
streets, parks and schools.
Special Assessment: A charge made against
certain properties to defray all or part of the
cost of a specific capital improvement or
service deemed to benefit primarily those
properties.
Special Revenue Fund:A fund used to
account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted to
expenditure for specified purposes.
Tax Base:Oregon law used to allow cities
within the State, with voter approval, to
establish a dollar amount of property tax that
may be levied on property within the city.
Once established, a tax base was allowed to
increase by 6% each year without further
voter approval. All tax bases in the State were
eliminated by Measure 50 and replaced with
permanent tax rates.
Tax Increment Financing:Financing
secured by the anticipated incremental
increase in tax revenues, resulting from the
redevelopment of an area.
TIF:Abbreviation for Traffic Impact Fee.
These are revenues from a County-instituted
fee on development. It was approved by
voters in 1989. Funds are used for highway
and transit capital improvements, which
provide additional capacity to major
transportation systems and recovery of costs
of administering the program. The city
collects this fee inside its boundaries.
Urban Renewal District:In May of 2006,
Tigard voters approved the formation of an
Urban Renewal District encompassing the
downtown and surrounding areas. With the
formation of this district, future increases in
property tax revenues from property within
the district, called tax increment, will provide
an important source of funding for a number
of needed capital projects.
Urban Service Area : The area of
unincorporated Washington County within
the City of Tigard’s area of interest, but
outside Tigard city limits. The city and the
county entered into an agreement in which
the city provided development services to the
area.. Tigard collected all fees and charges
from such development and used the funds to
pay for the related costs of that service. In
FY 2006-07, the city and county terminated
the contract and the city no longer provides
services to this area.
WCCLS: Abbreviation for Washi ngton
County Cooperative Library Services. All
libraries within Washington County are
partially funded through a county-wide serial
levy. Funds are distributed twice each fiscal
year in accordance with a formula that takes
into account circulation, open hours, and
collection development.
