2. WEDGEWOOD HODS BOND REDUCTION
(a) City Administrator recommended release of $61,560, retaining the remainder
of the $146,061 bond until street lights and sewers have been completed.
(b) Motion by Councilman Cook, seconded by Councilman Scheckla to release
$61,560.
Approved by unanimous vote of Council present.
(c) Michael Beardsley, Wedgewood Homes commented that the street lights are
really the only thing left (a .$9,000 item). He went on to point out how
difficult it is on developers to have their monies tied up in this type
of bond.
(d) After discussion by Council it was determined that the connection of the
sewer to the trunk line was not complete, and this was the primary concern
which caused them to release only $61,560:
(e) Motion by Councilman Cook seconded by Councilwoman Stimler to amend the
previous action by releasing'.$61,560 now and releasing the balance (approx.
$40,000) upon acceptance of the sewer to the trunk line.
Approved by unanimous vote of Council present
3. , GRAYSON INVESTMENTS NON-OCCUPANCY REQUEST
(a) City Administrator explained that he has two problems with this kind of
action. The first is the problem of monitoring the project to ;insure
that sewer connection charges are paid. The second problem is the added
staff time needed to deal with special cases such as this 'request.
Finally, he recommended that Council not agree to the non-occupancy re-
quest as it would be setting a dangerous' precendent.
(b) 'Motion by Councilman Cook, seconded by Councilman Scheckla to deny the
request for non-occupancy agreement.
Approved by unanimous vote of Council present.'
(c) Council recommended that the developer look into phasing as an option to
maintain cash flow.
a
4. HOUSING PLAN I14PLEMEPNTATION & ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN AND OPEN SPACE PLAN
IT-IPLEMENTATION.
(a) Planning Director reviewed the proposed implementation plans, pointing
out areas of interest. He went on to say that he hopes to submit the
entire plan to LDDC by April, and have a completed and approved Com-
prehensive Plan by 1980. He concluded by saying that this merely sets
the mechanisms for policies already adopted by the Planning Commission
and City Council. He then asked Legal. Counsel what the appropriate
Council action on this would be.
(b) Legal Counsel stated that it would be appropriate to have Council pass
a Resolution which states that the steps and action specified in the
implementation plans would be adopted as they come up. He went on to
say that he would be willing to draft such a Resolution.
5. STATUS REPORT ANNEXATIONS
(a) Planning Director described two annexations currently being,worked on.
They are Junge and Nokes. He pointed out that the reason for one of
these was the desire on the part of the owner to have better Police
protection.
6. PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROHIBITING ERECTION OF CERTAIN NEW OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
SIGNS.
(a) Planning Director explained that these signs (billboards) were subject
of concern among many jurisdications including the State Legislature.
He went on to say that some legislation is expected during the current
session and this Ordinance merely gets ajump on compliance with expected
future laws.
7. TRANSMITTAL - Joseph Sandor, Zone change 27-78
(a) City Administrator brought to the attention of Council the letter re-
ceived from Mr. Sandor stating that he would accept the conditions
specified by Council only if they would issue a Conditional Use Permit
with no further conditions. He went on to say that since the issue did
not 'deal with a`Conditional Use Permit further staff research would be
necessary to determine exactly what Mr. Sandor is requesting.
8. H.U.D. AUDIT REQUIREMENT
(a) City Administrator, referring to several letters from H.U.D., explained t
that we are being required to perform an audit to be completed on a
different schedule than our regular audit. He went on to say that this
would cause an 'additonal cost to the City of $1,000 - $1,500. He also
described the effect a tardy audit would have on receiving future funds
from H.U.D. He concluded by saying that an extension, which would allow
doing this audit simultaneously with our regular audit, had been requested
but ;did not appear to be forthcoming.
PAGE 2 - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - MARCH 19, 1979
a
(b) Mayor Mickelson suggested that a letter from Council to the U.S. Congress
pointing out this expensive bureaucratic red-tape might be appropriate.
9. DISCUSSION - CITY ASSUME JURISDICTION OF CERTAIN ROADS
(a) City Administrator explained the proposed resolution and described the
streets being considered. He went on to say that most of these streets
are in very good condition.
(b) Council agreed to consider this resolution at the next regular meeting.
10. LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPLORER POST
(a) Chief of Police explained some of the problems they have been having
with recruiting for the Explorer Post and introduced Bob Stimler to
speak further on the subject.
(b) Bob Stimler, Explorer Post Advisor, 10525 S.W. Terrace. Trails, stated
that the program is not going anywhere due to a lack of interest and a
lack of adequate recruiting sources. He stated that they had been un-
able to re-charter this year due to a small membership. He went on to
recommend a discontinuance of the Explorer Post program and the initia-
tion of a Police intern program to replace it.
(c) Chief of Police requested authorization from Council to investigate
the Intern Program, mentioning some areas of concex:n including insurance
costs and academic credit arrangements.
(d) After much discussion by Council it was agreed to consider this type
of ram Yater research.
(e) Councilman Cook praised Bob Stimler for all of the work he has done
with the Explorer Post over the years.
11. 1979-80 UNCLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE SALARIES
(a) City Administrator,referring to the 'memo provided to Council, explained
the process he used in recommending these salaries; including performance
Evaluations, comparability to other jurisdictions, cost of living and
merit. He went on to say that as the C.P.I. this year was close to 137,
and since Council had set a top limit at 127, he was recommending 127
for all positions. He stated that if Council had not set atop limit, he
would have recommended higher increases, and different increases for
different positions. He concluded by saying that this increase merely
maintains the status quo of these salaries and does not really acknowledge
meritous service.
(b) Councilwoman Stimler stated that she had a problem in the fact that all
positions had recommended increases of 127, showing no differences for
differing degrees of merit.
PAGE 3' - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - 14ARCH 19, 1979 I

I.T.—, M4;±trA7cnn Qtnt-ed that he supported the recommendations.
(d) After much discussion by Council it was agreed to discuss this further
in Executive Session at the nest Council meeting.
12. OTHER
(a) City Administrator mentioned that Bill Heppner had written his third
article on the status of City streets. He pointed out that Mr. Hep--
pner's figure for State Gas Tax money was $127,000 too high and chal-
lenged Mr. Happner to justify his figures.
(b) City Recorder brought attention of Council to the memorandum relating
to students from Shipley England being in town. She suggested that
Council acknowledge these students by presenting a letter and a gift
to them. She went on to suggest a copy of the Ray Atkison, "Oregon
book as a gift. Council concurred.
(c) RESOLUTION NO. 79_-x39 A RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY COUNCIL TO EXTEND
A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT GRANTED TO THE TIGARD AREA
HISTORICAL & PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION (JOHN TIGARD
HOME)
City Administrator recommended approval stating that more time was
needed to prepare the new site prior to moving the Tigard Home there.
Motion by Councilman Cook, seconded by Councilwoman Stimler to approve.
Approved by unanimous vote of Council present.
rd) City 4.1 inict—tnr_ rafPrrinv to the T.P.O.A. Contract Addendum asked
that Council authorize City Administrator and Mayor sign of addendum.
Motion by Councilman Cook, seconded by Councilwoman Stimler to authorize
City Administrator and Mayor to sign on behalf"of City.
Approved by unanimous vote of Council present.
(e) City Administrator reported that Don Howick had been hired; as a Building
Inspector. He went on to say that we hope to promote him to Building
official when Ed Walden retires.
(£) City Administrator reported that members were needed for the Site
Selection Committee for the Senior Citizen's Center.
(g) City Administrator discussed a small parcel of greenway land adjacent
to Air. Rohde's property:which he is requesting either City' maintenance
or purchase by himself. City Adminstrator pointed out the piece of
land in question. Legal Counsel stated that he would research the

TO: City Council
rRO14t Planning Department
SUBJECT: Implementation of Adopted Housing Plan and Environmental Design
and Open Space Plan
DATE: December 22, 1978
The attached staff reports with Planning Commission recommendations involve
actions to implement the adopted Rousing Plan and Environmental Design and
Open Space Plan. There are still several major items proposed by the staff
to implement these plans which have not yet been acted upon by the Planning
Commission. More work will be necessary before these other items can appear
before the Planning commission.

anp,icable policy (from adopted Housin Plan)
S. Low 2_�oderate income housing units shall be located ac-
cording to appropriate standards (eg., not concentrations i
of undue size, to minimize impacts on existing neighbor-
hoods, etc.).
Fin±iU IS
t
1. The City of Tigard currently has no guidelines to help public agencies 2
and private individuals in selecting suitable locations for new
assisted housing.
Implementation Recommendations
Private, public, and quasi-public providers of assisted housing should be

Housing Implementation
ITEM jiE
Tigard's Fair Share of Low Income Housing
Applicable Policy (from adopted Housing Plan)
Policy 14. Accommodate for the provision of subsidized housing assistance
to meet Tigard's fair share of local/regional needs.
Findin&s
1. The CRAG Board of Directors will soon adopt a Housing Opportunity
Plan (HOP) for the Portland area. The HOP will consider housing
needs for the entire region and thereby will help improve the al—
location of funds for those requiring assistance. Participation in a HOP
by a local jurisdiction will make it, and the region, eligible for ad—
ditional federal funds (from the U.S. Department of Housing and. Urban
Development) under various programs.
2. In the past, local jurisdictions seeking federal funds under some
HUD programs were required to prepare their own Housing assistance
Plan (HAP) that estimated the number of local households aceding hous—
ing assistance and set target goals for meeting that need. The City
of Tigard prepared such a HAP in 1976 as part of the process of applying
for the Housing and Community Development Block Grant funds which were
used to install storm sewers and bikepaths on Tigard and Greenburg.
3. Participation in the HOP will be one of the factors considered by LCDC
when it reviews Tigard's Housing Plan (and implementing actions) for
compliance with Coal 910 (Housing).
4. The HOP being developed by CRAG estimates the "fair share" of the
region's needy households for the counties and largest cities only.
However,, Tigard's adopted Housing Policy #14 referring to "fair share"
isnot'precise enough to guide the City in determining its general
responsibility as a participant in the HOP.
5. To estimate the City of Tigard's i� general "fair—share" of needy
households under the draft HOP, which should approximate the targets
and fund allocations established by the Housing authority of Washington
County, staff used the figures developed for Hillsboro and Beaverton-
The HOP needy household fair shares estimated for those two larger cities
were compared with their respective populations in 1978. ,The average of
these two ratios (0106) was then applied to an estimate of the current
population in the Tigard Plan Area (20,000). The resulting estimate of
currentneedy households for the entire plan area (2120) compares well
with the 1976 HAP estimate developed independently (1903) and an updated
HAP estimate based on the intervening overall -population increase (2302).
a
IM
Page Pasg2
=
If this ratio, developed from data for Beaverton and Hillsboro, is applied
to the current City population, there are approximately 1272 needy
households for which Tigard should be responni.ble if it agrees to par—
ticipate in the HOP. This figure is somewhat lower than the rough
ez -.late made in the 1976 Ii?P (1476).
Implementation Recommendation
1. The City should agree to participate in the Housing opportunity Plan.
-OUS-ing Implementation
ITEM #F
Unnecessary Standards or Restrictions
Applicable Policies (from adopted Housing Plan)
Policy 11. Review and revise the subdivision and zoning codes to ascertain
the presence of any unduly restrictive provisions which could
significantly increase costs while providing negligible benefits.
Policy 13. Accelerate the review process for approval of development proposals
where the quality of the review is not adversely affected.
Findings
1. In recent months various steps have been taken by the Planning Department
to streamline the review process for permit applications. These include:
A. Development of operations/procedures manuals for each of the permits
processed by the department (not yet completed).
B. "Fast-tracking" of the review process, where feasible.
C. Review of the zoning and subdivision codes for possible revisions
to reduce unnecessary delays. This analysis, currently being
conducted by a consultant, will also include an evaluation of the
potential for a "one-stop" permit system.
2. The proposal to permit rolled curbs was investigated by the 'Planning
Department, which was advised by the head of the Engineering Division
(John Hagman) that they posed several problems:
A. The street gutter along the edge of the curb is eliminated after
the first overlay is installed (about 5, years).
B. The City's street sweepers are ineffectual along rolled curbs.'
C. Rolled curbs are structurally inadequate because of a shallow.
base and raisedcgutter. In the City's'experience 'they are readily
made dysfunctional as use drives 'them into the ground (and rotates
them) as on Fir Loop in NPO #5, for instance.
D. ' Roiled curbs extruded by machine' (eg., Viemount Ct. in NPO #3) are
apparently as costly as standard curbs given their quality control
difficulties.
3. The proposal to move utility lines outside the paved area of streets
(and thereby reducecosts ,for` dirt hauling and backfill rock) is
generally endorsed by the Engineering Division as follows:
r
f
s
Page 2
A. This change of requirements will be a good idea with respect to
telephone, electricity, natural gas, and water lines.
B. Natural gas and electric utilities require, nevertheless, that the
right-of-way be graded to certain standards.
C. The J.S.A. requires the location of sewer Lines within 5 feet of
the street centerline.
D. Storm sewers should be located under the gutter portion of the paved
section.
4. The proposal to reduce the pavement width standard for local streets was
low evaluated:
A. The existing standard is 34 feet and was originally adopted without
serious analysis,
B. The conventional. textbook standards do not appear to be based upon
an overall evaluation of the costs and benefits of generously large
widths, especially such impacts as increased runoff, higher con-
struction and maintenance costs, incentive for speeding, etc.
C. Adjacent jurisdictions have a 32 feet standard.
D. Access by emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks, should be a
critical consideration:
1) In the City of Portland, fire trucks routinely negotiate
residential 'streets of 28 feet width with cars parked on both
sides of the street.
2) The Tualatin Rural Fire Protection District prefers the fol-
lowing local street width standards:'
No parking - 24'
Parking one side - 28'
Parking two sides 32'
It has indicated, however, that it could live with a'30 feet
minimum.
Implementation Recommendations
1. Standard curbs shouldcontinue to be required.
2. The 'location of 'utility lines should be outside the paved section where
feasible as indicated by the Engineering Division of the Public Works {
Department.
3. The local street pavement width standard should be changed from 34 feet
to '32 feet, with the possibility of a 30 feet standard for dead endo cul-
de-sac, and short local streets to be investigated by the Planning,Depart�
ment`.
a
Runoff, Erosion, Sedimentation
POLICY #2 - The City shall initiate a cooperative, interjurisdictional water shed,
storm drainage and flood plain management study of the Fanno Creek basin, and
establish restrictive interim standards for development until sufficient data
is available to set standards at identified levels of adequacy. Interim
standards shall limit the rate of runoff and erosion caused by a development both
during and at completion of construction, as well as development in all flood
plain and wetland areas identified in the physical inventory.
Findings
1. The City has contracted with an engineering firm to conduct a drainage
study of the Tigard area.
2. The City adopted an Interim Stormwater Detention Ordinance (Chapter
18.58) early this year. This ordinance requires stormwater detention
facilities on new developments to reduce the runoff impact of urban-
ization. The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has
found this new provision of the Code to work well.
3. General controls on runoff and erosion are lacking, especially with
regard to the construction process itself.
4. The Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District has developed
technical standards for control of erosion and sedimentation.
Implementation Recommendations
1. Title 14 (Buildings and Construction) of the City Code should be
amended to require that construction plans and practices incorporate
measures to minimize runoff, erosion, and sedimentation..
a. The following general design principles will be applied insofar as
is practical:
i. Wherever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained and pro-
tected.
ii. ;When >land is exposed during construction, the exposure shall be
kept to the shortest practical period of time.
iii. Sediment basins (debris basins, desilting basins: or silt traps)
shall be installed and maintained to remove sediment from run-
off waters from land undergoing development.
iv. The permanent landscaping and structures shall be installed as
soon as practical.
b. All construction plans and specifications shall meet the technical'
standards and specifications in "Practice Standards and Specifications
for Erosion and Sediment Control" developed by the Washington County
Soil and WaterConservation District, which is on file at City hall,
where appropriate.

F°ROK: Planning Department
SUBJECT: Amendment of the Official Environmental Constraints Maps
(Environmental Design Plan)
DATE: December 26, 1978
Recent information about the extent of the 100-year flood plain in the Tigard
Plan Area necessitates modification of one of the previously adopted Environmental
Constraints Maps.
Ash Creek between Oak Street and Highway 217
Staff requested review of the City's official Environmental constraints Maps
by the Washington County Public Works Department earlier this year. The
only significant difference between the City's maps and the county's (at scale
11' = 100') was along Ash Creek north of Highway 217 (ISI 35 NE). In a letter
(dated June 20, 1978), the county identified the 100-year flood elevations as follows
(City estimates as snapped in parenthesis): 171 feet at Oak Street (164), 170 feet
at Pine (164), 166 feet at Thorn (164).
t Staff Recommendation
1n view of the more precise data now available, staff recommends affieaument ;,f the
Environmental Design Plan (Favironmental 'Constraints Maps )as follows:
o Adoption of the Washington County Public Works' Department estimate of
+ the '100-year flood plain elevation along Ash Creek between Highway
217 and Oak Street.
n.....n ment of the Design Reoiew Ordinance (Chapter 18.59) to
Provide Greater Consideration of Topographic Features
Policy 9. In order to realize a sense of integrated community design, the
design review ordinance shall be modified to include specified
landscape objectives, emphasizing the incorporation of natural
vegetation and unique topographic features in site design. Careful
consideration should also be given to the 3600, 3-dimensional
impact of a site and structure design.
Findings
1. The Design Review Ordinance 18.59 was significantly modified earlier
this year (January 15, 1978).
2. some currant pr°visions of the Code address aspects of this policy.
For example, 18.59.060 (d) (2) (C) calls for "maximum retention of
trees" and 18.59.060 (d) (3) (E) in effect provides for comprehensive
consideration of the 360° aesthetic impact of a development.
3. There is no explicit requirement that a. topographic map be submitted
to help guide staff review of a proposal's incorporation of "unique
topographic features" or the natural contours of a site generally.
4. There is no explicit requirement that an inventory of existing trees
be provided to assist in a decision about which will be retained.
Implementation Recommendations
The Design Review Ordinance should be amended as follows.
38.59.60 Design Review Procedure.
(c) Application for Design Review....
At a minimum, the design plan must contain, as appropriate, the
following:
1. ; Site'plan, showing topography, (including] and vicinity map ...
(d) Standards and Criteria
2. Project Development
(D) It shall reasonably conform to the natural contours o£ the site,
incorporating special designs,-where appropriate, to accommodate unique topograhzc
features;
(E) It shall provide a minimum onsite landscape area .

Dealing with Noxious Vegetation
Policies of the Environmental Design and Open Space Plan
Policy 5. - Calls for regulation of the removal of natural vegetation
in designated areas
Policy 9. - Calls for modification of the site design review ordinance
to emphasize natural vegetation.
Findings
1. Natural vegetation of an unimpressive character- eg., brambles,
brush tall grass, shrubs, small trees -- nevertheless serve im-
e�.,,,i.. ..., r�i-Ion bel"s reduce
portant functions to the comrr...nity• .µ,-La .=5 -4� r
runoff and erosion, promotes slope stability, and is required
habitat and a prime source of food for many wildlife and bird species,
among its other uses.
2. Other proposed measures for implementing the Environmental Design
and Open Space Plan will protect natural vegetation in only specified
parts of the City.
3. The existing City Code, under the nuisances Chapter (7.40), actively
encourages the removal of natural vegetation (Noxious Vegetation
7.40.020).
r fire
of the Code, while originallyintended as a
Fire
hazard reduction measure, is not actually based on the Uniform r��C
Code, which specifies a firebreak width of 30 feet (Appendix. E,
Section 16).
Implementation Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommends the following code modification because, while
the clarifying language pertains to the fire code provisions, the consequence will
be reduced incentive for property owners to needlessly cut back vegetation on their
land:
The City Code section dealing with Noxious Vegetation (7.40.020) should be revised
by adding the following;wording after ".>. property,,`: „within 30 feet of a building
or street,"

Dear Mr. Barker:
Subject: Audit Requirement for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Section 570.909 (b) of Title I of the Housing and Comn-aunity Development Act of 1974
requires that each recipient of CDBG funds will schedule an audit, usually annually,
but not less frequently than once every two years. The audits are to be made in
accordance with audit guidelines prescribed by HUD. To assist CDBG Recipients, HUD
has issued HUD Handbook IG 6505.2, Audit Guide and Standards for CDBG Recipient,
which contains the minimum audit guidelines.
In order to assist CDBG Recipients, we have established three essential dates for
determining when your audit must be started and submitted to HUD in accordance to
T11 Asnq.2 gc allows:
Grant No. B-76—DS-41-0010
Date Audit Must Be Started 1-27-79
Date Audit Must Be Completed 4"27-m-79
Date Audit Must Be Submitted to'HUD: 'May 12, 1979
In reference to the Audit period, ,the recipient may establish any time period it f'
determines to be most acceptable, provided the audit covers a time period of no
more than two years, as prescribed by Section 570.509(b) of the regulations
Most recipients will probably obtain audits covering`;a period to coincide with
their own fiscal year or covering the CDBG program year.

In order for us to get a better understanding of your audit progress, a representative
on my staff will contact you very shortly to determine if you have recently audited
the CDBG program. If not, we would like to know when you plan to start your audit
within the referenced dates.
If you cannot meet these target dates, please write or call Ms. Sue Peet, Financial
Analyst at (503) 221-4106.

MEMORANDUM
March 15, 1979
TO: City Administrator
FROM: Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Explorer Post
RE: Recruiting Problem
j
Sir:
In November, the Explorer Post Advisors were directed to begin
work on the rechartering of the Explorer Post. Reserve Officer
Bob Stimler has taken a very active role in the recruiting of
Explorer Post members; however, he has had very little success in
this effort. There does not seem to be any of the normal resources
available at this time, whereby desirable candidates may be recruited.
The high school does not have the career interest computer print out
any longer, and the CE-2 group has no students with a law enforcement
interest, and their program is exploratory only.
The Explorer Post charter renews January lst each year, and requires a
five explorer minimum. At this time we have only three members;
subsequently, we have not been able to recharter.
Due to this problem, ,I wish to request Council reconsider its position
indicated in Resolution No. 76-92 of November 89 19716. I would recom-
mend fazing into a Police Intern program to include present Explorers.
However, there would be an insurance problem with,the younger persons
within the Explorer Post at this time,,
Reserve Officer Bob Stimler (Explorer Post Advisor) will present this
recommendation, and explain the ;problems we are experiencing with the
Explorer Post to the City Council.
The Post Advisors, Officer'Jim Newman and Reserve Officer Stimler,
have devoted considerable time to the Post; however, worn assignment,
court and cvr�esL studies tudies do not provide the additional time necessary
to Manage the Post effectively, nor are we privileged to have sufficient
staff to relieve a member from normal duty assignments on a part-time
basis to manage this activity.
We are still receiving requests from criminal justice students at
Portland Community College relative to a Police Intern program. The
Police Department/Explorer Post
March 15, 1979
Page 2
Police Intern program provides the student with on-the-job experience,
would possibly earn college credit,, and provide the city with an
excellent police recruiting mechanisms
The department had a limited experience with the Intern program in 4
72-73, whereby we were able to identify and recruit four patrolmen,
of which three are still with the department.
I wish to request this discussion be placed on the March 19, 1979
Council study session.
