WASHINGTON COUNTY COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SERVICES (WCCLS) - RESOLUTION REGARDING SERIAL LEVY City Librarian, Irene Ertell, spoke to the proposed serial levy for a County wide computer automated circulation system. Estimated cost is 1.5 million dollars for a three year serial levy at $500,000 for each of the three years. She went on to explain the need for the serial levy and requested the City sup- port the proposal. Estimated cost is 8(� per $1,000 valuation for the first year and it is anticipated this will be reduced in the continuing years due to increas- ed assessed valuation. Donne Selle, Cordinator of WCCLS, responded to questions regarding the levy and pointed out the automated circulation system would eliminate labor intensive costs related to the card catalog system; overdue notices; reduce costs for libraries by eliminating excessive copies of specific books, assist with inter- library loans. She explained the computer would be in the Aloha central office, with terminals Located in the various libraries. Some of the functions, such as the over-due notices would be prepared at that office. Ertell and Selle requested Council support their request to place the measure on the February 17, 1981 ballot. If the levy is passed the start-up time is projected to be July-September, 1981. Concensus of Council was to consider a resolution endorsing the request at their next meeting. 3. ANNEXATION LETTER Mayor-elect Bishop was invited to participate in the discussion. Director of Public Works discussed his thoughts and approach to the annexation issue. He evaluated the various areas under consideration; should islands be created and City's approach to the issue.

To implement the planning he stressed the fact that the City must have jurisdiction for improvements; i.e. street and storm water improvements, street lighting, sanitation problems, meet L.C.D.C. housing goals.

At the last study session, I suggested that a letter be sent to all the property owners effected by the Bechtold Annexation. Enclosed is the draft of that letter. I wanted to get it to you as soon as possible because we need ample lead time to get it to the people. Granted it is lengthy, but the most important stuff is up front . . . purpose of the letter and the meeting date in January. The glossary of terms will do several things. Those who do attend the meeting will at least understand the terms we use in our discussions. They will have an .opportunity to see a map which clearly indicates the areas in question and they will have had time to consider the issues mentioned in the letter so that the questions may be pointed and meaningful. Please have- your suggestions ready. We will discuss the letter under "other business". ROUGH DRAFT ANNEXATION LETTER Dear Property Owner: Annexation is an important word when you live within the Urban Growth Boundary of Tigard. Recently, the City Council has been asked to consider an annexation in your area. If this annexation is approved it may mean that your property could be annexed to the City. This letter will explain the process and what it may mean to you. After you have read this letter, and looked at the enclosed map, you may have questions . It is the intention of the City Council to hold a public information meeting at Fowler Junior High School on January 1981 to discuss this issue with you. The meeting will begin at :30 P.M. . We urge you to plan to attend. Terms are very important. To aide you in understanding the content of this letter we have included a glossary of the terms and phrases that are used in the references to an annexation process . ANNEXATION PETITION: A simple petiton form submitted to the City o Tigar y property owners outside -t-he City boundary but whose propertytouches the City boundary. �. approved, property is added to the City. CITY LIMITS : The actual line that surrounds the City of Tigard's incorporated area. URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY: The actual line established by the Metropolitan Service District within which this City will develop between now and the year 2000. METROPOLITAN SERVICE DISTRICT — (METRO).: A locally created regional agency responsible for the p anning in the Portland metropolitan area. LAND CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION — (LCDC) : A state created agency responsible - for the planning in the state. PORTLAND METROPOLITAN AREA LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION — BOLJNDARY COMM SSI N An eleven person commission created y the state to review annexations submitted to it by local jurisdictions. ISLAND: An area created through annexation which is surrounded by the City of Tigard, but is still in Washington County. UNIFIED SEWERAGE AGENCY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY — (USA) : The agency responsible or the treatment o waste water within Washington County. The City of Tigard is an agent of this organization, collects the service charges , inspects the connections and issues the permits to connect to the system. The City is responsible for the maintenance of all sanitary lines, 24" in diameter or less throughout the City. TRIPLE MAJORITY ANNEXATION: In accordance with the state law the City must have to or more of three things before an annexation petition can be presented to the City Council by resolution. 51% of the property in acres, 51% of the assessed value of the property and, 51% of the signatures of the property owners . t PAGE 2 ROUGH DRAFT ANNEXATION LETTER FORCED ANNEXATION: This term is used by the 49% of the persons w ose laFia is to en in the City against their will when the triple majority annexation method is used, or when the City Council, by resolution, annexes an "island" In the cases where "islands ' exist or are created; the City Council can pass a resolution to annex the island without using the triple majority annexation method. At the present time there are more than ten "islands" within the Urban Growth Boundary. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT - (LID) : This refers to an assessment istrict formed by petition 37 property owners to construct public service lines, sidewalks, streets, etc. The City accepts the petitions engineers she property, forms the district, estimates the costs, holds a public hearing to notify the persons in the district what the costs will be, hires the work done and assesses the property owners in a district to form an LID and it takes 66% to nullify that LID. Usually LID's are farmed to take advantage of the City's ability to Bancroft Bond the improvements for up to thirty years at a reasonable percentage rate, and make public improvements which the persons in the district require. TAX BASE: A dollar amount fixed by the voters of Tigard recently at ,098.00. TAX RATE: We expect the rate rate per thousand to be $1.04 this next year. If you property is assessed at $100,000.00, your- taxes paid to the City of Tigard would be $104.00 per year. ; Now that we understand the terms, let's talk about the issues. Many of you have muttered bitterly about the condition of Walnut Street. At the present time, .most of Walnut Street is in Washington County. The majority of the residents in your precinct voted for street' repairs, but the vote in Washington County did not pass the increase in the gas tax. Your next alternative is Tigard. We have a street overlay program and we do repair our streets. Last year we overlayed 2 miles of streets at a cost of $113,000.00. We have a systems development charge paid by new developers of residential and commercial property which pays for improvements to collectors and arterials . Walnut Street is a collector. The problem is that if we do not have the jurisdiction of a street, we cannot improve it. The only way that we can help you is if you will annex to the City so that we can obtain the jurisdiction of the streets in your area and repair them. Septic tank systems fail. What then? Install a new system now and chances are that within the next five years you will be involved in a local improvement district for the installation of a public system to serve development in your area. So what do you have? . . . . . . $4,500.00 in your bak yard and an assessment of $3,500.00 for the new service line in from of your house. Police proection. Our officers are in your area now, but have no jurisdictional powers. It seems logical that we should be the ones to answer your requests for assistance. Obviously our response time is lens than that of Washington County. PAGE 3 ROUGHT DRAFT ANNEXATION LETTER Planning Services. You developed a Neighborhood Planning Area Organization and had your plan approved in 1975. Your NPO #3 has not met for at least two years and many things have changed dramatically in the last several months . These changes are important to you, but without a neighborhood organization it is very difficult for the City to communicate with you. What is happening in Tigard is happening through out the Metro area. Tigard used to be a quiet little town "on the way to the coast". Highway 99W carries 35,000 cars . a day now. Look around you. The Koll Business Center on Scholls Ferry Road, Park 217 on Hall Blvd. , Summerlake, Morning Hill, Winter Take, the new- senior center on O`Mara. . . . .We have processed approximately 150 site design review applications in the past two years for commercial development. We have approximately 800 platted lots in the City now and expect more. i Tigard s population will increase dramatically n the coming years . LCDC and Metro have requested that we provide a 50/50 housing mix. . . . .single family to multi--family outside our City limits within our urban growth boundary. Rather than discussing all the ramifications of this with you, perhaps we will be able to get specific at the January meeting. We need your help to unify Tigard for many reasons . Unless we all work together to improve . our collective position we will all suffer the consequences. Obviously annexations are frustrating for all concerned, but the issue has to be faced and resolved. We would appreciate your attendance at the meeting with the City Council in January. Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy letter. If you- are unable to attend the January meeting and have questions , please contact the Planning Director at 639-4171.

After discussing the matter with Aldis at our lest meeting, we realize that his statement to you was the .result of a misunderstanding arising from an emotion charged meeting of the NPO hold on Nov. 12 in which he informed us that every one of our residential protection Policies are now unworkable. We are attaching a copy of the revised minutes from the Nov. 12 meeting so that you can read for yourselves something of what occurred. We thank you for your continued interest in this matter. Sincerely, LaVa2aq Z n, Chairperson NPO #4 Jo Anne Nordling, Secretary NPO #4 ccs NPO #4 membership MINUTES OF NPO A Nov. 12, 1980 REVISED; December 3, 1981 Members atte'ndLng: Chet Larter Non--ummbers attending: Iry Larson Sid Reese Lois Larter Jo Anne Nordling Jerry Cash Jerry Scott Aldie Howard Ely Wilder Natalie Scott Gordon S. Martin Del Ball LaValle Allen Geraldine L. Bail Lou Christen Members not attanding: James R. Millar Diane Allen Mike Dessert Jay Cundiff Alan Roth Jean Danley The meeting was called to order by chairperson LaValle Allen. The minutes of the last meeting were approved as written. It was announced that Mike Dessert could not be able to serve on the NPO if Wednesday was to be the regular meeting night. The members present were polled and it was found that there is no week night other than Wednesday possible for most members. The secretary was asked to so inform Mike and to convey our regrets. As requested by the NPO, Aldie Howard, planning director for the city of Tigard, spoke on his interpretation of the A-40 zone (LO dwelline unity to the acre) and how it affects present NPO uolicies. Aldie is of the opinion that the existence of the A-40 zone requires that sone off' the NPO policies need to be revised. Policies which were set up specifically to protect the ]i%-^Ahil i4y „F ad jacent residential areas, in his opinion, need to be revised to reflect the existence of the A-40 zone. Policies he sees as not workable are, for example, policy #27 (provides for stepped down building heights next to residential areas), policy #33 (guarantees the present pattern of dead end residential streets), Policy #34 (stipulates that developed streets shall not be used as buffers of residential areas), and policy #3$ (provides that SW 70th shall not Se developed until adjacent residential areas convert). Tho response of the majority of NPO members present was disbelief and dimtmym F. Aldie blamed the state Land Conservation and Development Commission (the agency ,which originally provided for the creation and authority of NPOa) for recent rule changes. Further, in his opinion, the NPO had from the beginning, not been "realistic' in its attempt to protect present residential areas from the inevitable encroachment of commercial development. He suggested the NPO tw its new policies more in line with reality. Much discussion ensued. Four possibilities for further investigation were proposed: 1. Move the A-40 zone one block east. Since the A-140 zone was imposed upon the NPO after the plan was offically accepted by the city council and the planning commission, and at a time when the NPO had disbanded, perhaps the NPO can at least adjust its location away from the residential neighborhoods. 2. Designate protected residential areas # 3 and k as future A-!i0 zones to replace the present A-40 area. This would mean all A-40 development in the NPO would have to wait until these areas converted to non residential use. 3. Keep the A-40 zona where it now is but keep its development subordinate to present NPO policies designed to protect residential areas (even though this may necessarily confine and lessen the intensity of development in some of the A-40 zone). 4. Rewrite the NPO plan. Designate the A-40 zone as the keystone of the new plan and try to ameliorate the impact on present residential areas wherever possible. (This was Aldie Howard's suggestion.) Aldie Howard was asked to submit his opinions in writing res (1). the development, of the A-40 zone and how that affects the present NPO plan, especially policies # 5, 17, 27, 33, 34, and 35, and (2) his recaeimandations in-writing for protecting residential areas. The next meeting date was set for Wed., Dec. 3 at 7=30 P.M. at the Lamb Weston offices (6600 SW Hampton) .

There was considerable discussion of the Nov. 12 minutes. Aldie Howard requested that the fourth paragraph be amended to read as follows% Aldie is of the opinion that the existence of the A-40 zone requires that some of the NPO policies need to be revised. Policies which were set up specifically to protect the liveability of adjacent residential areas, in his opinion, need to be revised to reflect the existence of the A-40 zone. 1W Lit ......o...mvd 1 \illYliKV wA0 Made V aar.jla �• Mr. Howard then suggested that rather than. put his opinion re: the needed changes in writing, as the NPO requested, he would prefer that the uembership go through the plan, policy by policy, to determine the best protection possible under the circumstances. He stressed there was nothing he could do to change LCDC rules requiring large areas of „iigh density housing. He stated the entire city would soon feel the_ impact. (Over 90 percent of A-40 zoning lies in NPO #h.) LaValle reported that our request for review of development in areas other than the A-40 zone,and specifically planned unit development areas, hadibeen denied by city council based on Aldie Howard's recommendation. Aldie explained that he had asked for the chance to convince the NPO that building such a review process into the system was not necessary and would entail too much time expenditure and cost for developers. In his opinion, the crucial area for review by the NPO is the A-40 zone only. After a lengthy discussion, Chet Larter moved that the NPO not ask for planned unit development review. The motion was seconded by Irving Larson. The motion passed ( 4 in favor, 3 opposed, 1 abstention) LaValle asked Aldie to tell the group that NPO #4 had been drastically reduced in size in its northern portion. Aidie did so and agreed to revise the PPO snaps to reflect the change. The agenda for the next meeting waa agreed upon, and shall be to begin review of policies 5, 17, 27, 33, 34, and 35. LaValle Allen then requested that the NPO secretary write a letter to city council denying the statement made there by Aldis Howard that this NPO had passed a resolution at our last meeting to abolish the A-40 zone. It was agreed to attach a copy of our Nov. 12 revised minutes so the council could see for themselves that we had discussed four possible options only. A1dis then issued an invitation to all NPO members and residents to attend an open house on Dec. 19. (See attached invitation.) Irving Larson suggested that we invite Mr. Pollack, a large landholder in the area, to attend the next meting to explain what he has in mind for development on his land. It was agreed that this was a good idea but that it should be postponed for a later time. A"11 subsequent regular meetings were set for the first Wednesday of each month.
