Hall Boulevard Beaverton, Oregon 97005 Dear Jack: I am enclosing my report, including a revised RFP and model ordinance. Fifty copies, as required, are being trans- mitted for distribution under separate cover. Some comments may be useful: The model ordinance permits each City to ` grant a franchise independently, but has provision for MACC joint regulation. If a formal joint powers agreement is approved ` prior to the issuance of the RFP, this can be included. Otherwise, the ability to delegate powers to MACC, as included in the model ordinance should be sufficient to proceed. ° Exhibit A to the RFP includes some cities , mentioned previously, that may or may not participate. Figure A-1 should be updated prior to release of the final RFP. ° A copy of Washington County' s Cable Communi- cations Plan should be included with the final RFP, together with any recent modifi- cations due to the outcome of the litigation with Liberty. I will attend the January 7 public hearing, and hope to answer any questions that arise at that time.

MAYOR'S ADVISORY COUNCIL Report No. 1 December 12, 1930 1, THE ISSUE: The City of Tig:sd paid t:,e metrorolit2n Service District $7,327 out of this year's city budget (51" per resident) for MSD's regional services as dictated by the State Legislature. Tsnis assessment is no longer in effect after this year and new funding must be found by NSD. City of Tigard voters, along with the entire Petro area, voted down the XSED tax base of $5,247,000 on Nov. 4th. THE SOLUTION: Should t1- City of Ti„ard continue to support P.SD with city taxpayers' money at 51¢ or more per person? :r�� NC Should the City pay NSD a fee only for services it (the City) specifically wishes to request from NSD? YES NO Should MSD's regional powers and authority be specifically described and limited by law? YES NO Comments: 2. THE ISSUE: The Downtown Tigard Committee has recommended to the City Council that an Urban Renewal Agency be established for the downtown area and that $20,000 be sought through a federal block grant for a consultant to prepare the plan. THE SOLUTION: If the $20,000 grant is not approved, should the City Council appropriate the money from City funds? YES NO Should there be a city-wide vote before establishing a Tigard Urban Renewal Agency for the downtown Main Street area? YES NO Do you favor an Urban Renewal development for downtown Tigard? YES NO Comments: THE ISSUE: Tigard's Comprehensive Land Use Plan (seven years in development) has faced some questions in preliminary meetings with MSD and LCDC representatives and they have indicated to our planning director that Tigard's plan should provide for an overall density of 10 units per acre to comply with goal #10 of Oregon's Land Use Law. This will force the City to rezone some lands for as high as 40 units or more per acre in order to comply with a 50-50 mix of apartments and single family homes. WE SOLUTION: Should the City rezone its lands and newly annexed areas and rewrite its plan to include this greater density and multiple units in order to fully comply with MSD and LCDC complaints? YES 170 Should the City offer a reasonable compromise on density after holding public hearings? YES NO Should the City refuse to change its comprehensive plan and submit it as is to LCDC for final confirmation? YES NO Comments 4. THE ISSTiE: Tigard needs to plan for a future civic center to house all city departments, and to provide an adequate community library, community meeting rooms, and other services. Plans need to be made with full citizen participation and a site needs to be selected before all available land is built upon or priced out of sight. THE SOLUTION: Should the City Council immediately designate its prime site, seek citizen support for a civic center plan over the next two years and tie down a location?

It will be a very important two years ahead and one in which many critical decisions will, have to be made by the Mayor and City Council. I have used the phrase "the people's Mayor" in my campaign. I do not intend it to be campaign rhetoric to be laid aside until the next election. A "people's Mayor" is one who keeps his communication lines open with the people he was elected to represent—and this is what I intend to do. Will you participate with me, in this worthwhile community effort, as a sounding board and as a participant on the Mayor's Advisory Council? If so, this letter is your official appointment to this adviory group. Your only commitment will be to respond .with your thoughts and advice on selected questions or issues facing the City of Tigard from time to time during the next two years. You will be asked for your opinions and advice through timely mailings or by a direct phone call. You are also encouraged to call me on any concerns you may have that I do not address through the Mayor's Advisory Council channels. ' I did not ring 2,591 doorbells between Oct. 1 and Nov. 3, meeting and talking with more than 2,000 Tigard citizens, just to get their votes. I want all of these contacts to bloom into a continuing friendship or at least a continuing communication to help me make the right decisions for the best interests of the City of Tigard. However, because of the great number of people I talked, with, I find it difficult to remember all the names and faces. I apologize if I fail to recognize you or call you by name if we meet on the street or at a meeting. Help me out, please re-introduce yourself—Jill remember, then, the conversation we had. You may not have been one of those I talked with in my door-to-door campaigning, but I have included you on the Mayor's Advisory Council for one of these following reasons: (1 2 ) You are an old friend and supporter; You own property in the City; (3) Your business is in the City; or $� You have an interest in the fut-are of Tigard. I really do need your advice and opinions during the next two so I hope you will fill out and return the enclosed "Mayor's Advisory Council Report N1o. 111. — To you and your family, my wife Martha and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a most happy and successful new year in 1981. Kindest regards, Wilbur Bishop Mayor-elect of Tigard MAYOR'S ADVISORY COUNCIL Report No. 1 January 1981 These are the results of 134 personal responses, 113 city residents, 21 outside the city. In this survey, 474 dings were sent out with two enclosures to many households for a total of 786. This was a 2836 response from households or 170% of all enclosures. 1.THE ISSUE: The City of Tigard paid the Metropolitan Service District $7,327 out of this years's city budget (51¢ per resident) for MSD's regional services as dictated by the State Legislature. This assessment is no longer in effect after this year and new funding must be found by MSD. City of Tigard voters, along with the entire Metro area, voted down the MSD tax base of $5,247,000 on Nov. 4th. YES NO NO ANS.

What does MSD do for the City of Tigard? I have mixed thoughts on this whole issue. Earliery this year I participated in the Metro Survey and so see many questions and unresolved issues. Suggestion: Thru Town Nall discussions, explanations thru Tigard Times and other means of communicating with Tigard citizesn, provide comprehensible explanations of MSD so people can make informed decisions. Tigard has no local transportation—the poor relation must beg and bargain—but no tax rights given to anyone time for local mini bus. The cost seems reasonable for the service provided. With city, county and state governments, I cannot see the need of MSD. I assumed MSD's regional power and authority were already described and limited by law. We need MSD to take care of problems that are not limited to a single county. You need to understand that government (including local) needs to stay out of private sector. There is nothing MSD can do that you can't get the private sector to do better and more economically. It seems like'many times we are paying over and over for a dead horse. MSD has too much power. We believe Tigard and other suburban towns should help support the zoo, etc., but it should be handled through city offices, not another government level. Dismantle MSD. (Tree for services used) would seem a more prudent use of our par ticular city's fee. It's refreshing to know some clear thinking person is asking. MSD and similar organizations are a "thorn in the side" but it seems they are also a necessity to our closely inter—related society. Comprehensive planning necessary to prevent chaos. If MSD is to exist at all, should be voted on by the citizens who have every right to decide its existence. MSD existance should be brought to a vote. I don't think we need the MSD. I think MSD is one governmental body that we can do without. We are part of the metropolitan Portland area. Metro is a practical approach to the solution of the area's problems. Like CRAG, such agencies build excessive bureaucracy's, cripple progress with numerous regulations. MSD –2– Funding mechanism. One approach would be 2 or 3-year contracts for specific services with individual municipalities. Another approach, of course, is a thorough review and restructuring of MSD functions by the Legislature. MSA is a very essential branch of government to handle regional problems that local communities are not able to. By the State Legislature who should regulate the fee based on services the City of Tigard asks for. MSD is not all bad in that it is an intermediary body presently between the City, LCDC and the State. Pay for what you NEED and WANT! I feel that we must reduce the size of the MSD. We should encourage MSD to proceed with solid wast management—it has been too long in coming. 14SD should be tightly controlled and limited by law. We don't need more layers of government draining the taxpayer. We should definitely only pay for the services we want them to performs-nothing more.. MSD is required to develop the regional services that Tigard eannot independently provide economically. MSD (if it is to exist) should have HONEST well–trained, conscientious leadership. I feel that in the past the leadership was poor and the cost high! Don't have a strong feeling on this. MSD should be re–submitted to the voters. I hope it would be voted out of existence. Take the government agencies off the citizens backs. To avoid duplication MSD's planning authority should be limited to the coordination of services and transportation between areas. 74SD can't relate to small individual community problems, every area has its own unique concerns. Tigard should pay only for services received. MSD should be limited in its scope and power to area of need. I would need more information. MSD has been trying to build its own unnecessary empire, too much of it duplication providioas. of already existing service p The "voters" already turned MSD down so the "City" should be bound by their wishes. The City is bound by the voter's wishes. 2-2-Mayor's Advisoy Council Report, San. 1981 2. THE ISSUE: The r.rwntown Tigard Committee has recommended to the City Council that an Urban Renewal Agency be established for the downtown area and that $20,000 be sought through a federal block grant for a consultant.to prepare the plan. YES NO NO ANS.

Do you favor an Urban Renewal development for 54"6 (72) 254% (33) 2196 (29) downtown Tigard?......................................... —COMME�Ii TS- i Urban Renewal is two-faced. When redoing an area you must be careful not to destroy its historical value if any. Does the City of Tigard have $20,000 available for the project? Please provide some specifics. What would be done? Depending on results of study on plans, scope and approximate cost, area covered, etc. The only need for a vote would be if the use of City funds for the agency were used. When city funds are used the tax payers should have a voice. I'd like to see the plan prepared by the consultant before deciding. I would need to know more about the alternatives. Planned renewal which should include the Civic Center issue. I would want to know more about this, funding would be a matter of priorities, funds are limited. The longer you wait the more expensive urban renewal will be. Providing those that create the problems are the ones to pay for the improvements. Lets not defeat what this last election proves. lets not cause the Fed,to spend more than what they have. Though I am comparatively new to Tigard, there's need for improven&nt in downtown area. Tigard needs some type of renewal—what Beaverton achieved looks great. The City Planning Director should not dicatate the plans for the development over the property owners and taxpayers. Who needs it. There was a downtown development onoe before with trees planted and the business people rejected the plan and the trees were removed. I would support urban renewal if major improvements in traffic flow were incorporated in planning. I favor the study by our city staff of the benefits to Tigard of a downtown urban renewal project. Is there an extaa $209000 in the budget? How much does a city-wide vote cost? This development should be handled by your office and the City Council. If the general citizens of Tigard are to be taxed, they should be allowed to vote on it. The voters and business people have a reight to determine the future of downtown renewal. Consider more than commercial development. Town Rouses and tastefully designed apart- ment complexes is "downtown" Tigard would have the charm and "wuburban" character of the best Portland has to offer. Mary times in the past I have urged local business to deveopp a cooperative initiative to improve the business community but they refused. it is not the responsibility of the taxpayer. 3-3-Mayor's Advisory Councia Report, Jan. 1981 3• THE ISSUE: Tigard's Comprehensive Land Use Plan (seven years in development has faced some questions in preliminary meetings with MSD and LCDC representatives an they have indicated to our planning director that Tigard's plan should provide for an overall density of 10 units per acre to comply with goal #10 of Oregon's Land Use Law. This will force the City to rezone some lands for as high as 40 units or more Der acre in order to comply with a 50--50 mix of apartments and single family homes. Should the City rezone its lands and newly a-inexed areas YES N0 NO SNS. and rewrite its plan to include this greater density and multiple units in order to fully comply with MSD & LCDC?.. 106 (14) 80)6 (107) 10% (13) Should the City offer a reasonable compromise on density after holding public hearings?.................... 57% (77) 27% (36) 1696 (21) Should the City refuse to change its comprehensive plan and submit it as is to LCDC for final confirmation?....... 49% (66) 24% (32) ?7% (36) —COMMENTS As NPO 7 chairperson, the area with the most amount of undeveloped lands and much newly annexed or unicorporated land, I am very concerned about this matter. In our Plan we designated areas for greater density but don't want to see an increase beyond that. Any consideration of such must be made knwon to NPO 7 and worked on with that group. We may not like it but greater density is going to be increasingly necessary so public transportation can succeed. High density would turn Tigard into a minor ghetto in a few years as the new buildings ran down. Propose a compromise AFTER the LCDC acts on the City position of "No change." Compromise probly best approach, can't fight LCDC. They have the final say over plan, many counties have fought through the courts, almost all have lost and wasted taxpayers M-ney. We have far too much unused, vacant land, under develope land within the City--pleas develop this land—with incentives to build, perhaps, before forcing development of agriculture land outside the City. We should tell LCDC what to do with their plan and ask Tigard people what they want. Only Tigard citizens can know the needs of our town—lets not be browbeat by MSD or LCDC. As with MSD, we do not believe in outside rule. Let Tigard make oun decisions. Dismantel LCDC. If all sides go together to compromise I'm sure a reasonable result will be produced. Which of these options to choose would best be decided by the mayor and planning director base on what course would give Tigard the best final result. A 50-50 mix seems high, especially when duplex's are not counted as apartments. Tigard is suburban in character, not urban, and forcing us to 40 units per acre could easily ruin Tigard's livability and character. Tigard is so far behind facing growth. We have a one-horse shay past and it's very difficult to educate people. All the planners want to do is plan. They never see the economic or practical side of development and redevelopment. If submitting the City Comprehensive Plan without change or compromise would certainly br rejected by LCDC, then the City would be adding to government red tape and taxpayers funds. Another approach would therefore be necessary. Tigard is too crowded as it is. We keep increasing the population without improving the roads and traffic problems. With more population the City's problems will only increase—crime rate etc. Tigard does not need more multi-dwelling units. Current congestion can only become worse with more apartments. , not to mention impact on local schools. Compromise is an honorable action and becomes increasinly necessary in more areas. Yes (refude to change plan) if this means to Hell with MSD. If LCDC's requirements are legal, we should comply without quibling. Too much density already—overcrowding should be avoided. Urban R&newal —2-2- 1 would like the consultant and committee to all be Tigard residents. Could not a qualified citizen committee be formed to do the same job on a volunteer basis. There is a lot of talent in this area. Only if there is fiscal responsibility shown and the monies needed are voted on by the citizens of Tigard. Tigard is rapidly becoming a cosmopolitan area far more than its "rural town. image. As it stands now, it's almost too crowded and inefficient to drive through. This is obviously one of the few ways "Old Town" can be rejuvinated, if that is the word for it, to focus attention on a City Civic Center and help get from the proverbial planning stage to some action. Do we really need a $20,000 consultant—what we need is local committee planning! I have no objection to funds being appropriated for this purpose. However, I am not sure that I would approve an Urban Renewal Agency. I feel that public money should not be used for this type of renewal activity. I would like to see a city building which housed police, librarVy and city offices but I am not sure this requires urban renewal What good is urban renewal—thot the planning commission was in charge? I don't believe I have enough information to answer intelligently, I hve felt urban renewal projects in Portland and elsewhere have proven unwise. Our great need is Government Renewal—not Urban Renewal. If we want to control inflation we have to 4top holding out our hand to Uncle Sugar. If the matter is that important, we should be willing to finance it ourselves. We should have a complEte program to offer the people. Let the City Council vote on it. People in Tigard vote everything down. Building codes, code enforcement, zoning and condemnation of hazardous property should clean up the core area. Local government finance of Civic Center with compatable private investmentfor the balance. If it includes City Hall and Civic Center. We like the sma11 town community flavor that is unique to Tigard. Only one building north of Panno Creek, Westside of blain St. near the bridge needs improvem*nt. The old style feed store brings smile. "New and obligated" is not always for the better. I prefer getting Citic Center and park done downtown. In the past most of the "Beautification" has taken place in the downtown area, what about some of the other areas. Local citizens are just as able to do any studies for the downtown area. Let's stop the foolishness of getting "grant" money which costs more in the long run. How about a town meeting to discuss this and related issues. Such an agency would be more experienced and hopefully not have conflict of interests. r Try for the grant, if that fails, Tigard should " " Sn grass roots,,. The decision should be based on need. Y. Comprehensive Plan -2-2- Overcrowding already evident What good are LCDC and p."' if no one complies with their plans and what good is "City's" plan if they don't incli.de the goals. Although we are against LCDC-MSD and other over powered agencies. Don't have enough information to choose between fighting LCDC in court and/or trying a compromise solution. Probably no choice but eventual compliance. However, the City may find many alternatives. Offer a reasonable compromise on density after a public hearing, be careful unless specific properties andproposed developments are all considered, the 'Compromise" abstraction could become as restirictive as the preset one. On confrontation with LCDC, public hearings on planning issues are often emotional, rarely atteded by citizens without an ax to grind, etc. Better to use a vehicle like the Tigard Times to thought- fully review the LCDC/Tigard Plan issue in a series of articles prior to any hearings. As population and economics change, we must be flexible in our zoning regulations and adapt to new trends and methods. Tell LCDC to go&raight to H o__!! Am against greater density for young families as it leads to too many social problems etc. Por retired persons it is fine. Goal #1 of L rC says that the people who reside in ar. area should haze Input into the development of that area. Leta start showing some concern for the people's wishes who presently reside in the area. a compromise--for more to our advantage of less dense housing—needs to be met. The Comprehensive Plan is basically good with some minor problems in different NPO's where citizen politics went a little beyond reasonable planning for their areas. These things should be pulled together. Lets not roll ofer and play dead! I am strongly )pposed to the density cotemplated by Goal 10. Many of us moved to Tigard to avoid the heavy density and congestion existing in the Portland Metropolitan area. Goal 10 would totally destroy the very reason for people moving to Tigard. It is meaningless to ask for citizen input in planning if it is not supported!! LCDC should not exist—just another layer of government that doew nothing but complicate matters and burden the taxpayer with more expense. I have been very unhappy over the years as vaeious comprehensive plans have been made and then changed. This is on the county level as well as city. It makes it difficult for property owners. The state is just as bad as the Feds when it comes to trying to run our lives. Lets get rid of both PTSD and LCDC. I feel LCDC is very restrictive and unfair. If our plan is reasonable, supported by and justifiable for Tigard, then we should submit it as is. LCDC should be "cooled". k'e don't need dictarorial power at the State level. Comprehensive Plan —3-3- 1 feel that we have more housing than our streets and highway can handle now. Also with higher housing saturation, crime rates go up. People need some space to feel free—we especially do not need any more apartments (rabbit hutch living) this especially I creates people being crowded. I'm not for 50-50 density we home owners dispproportionately pay higher taxes than developers who can attain benefits and tax delays, etc. I feel that the residents of the area should, through their own planning functions, determine such items. I have no quarrel with high density. Many lots are too large anyway. Lets do away with LCDC even it it means getting general funds—with strings attached. My efforts with NPO 5 (and Lake Oswego Neighborhood Planning Committee ) was largely wasted. I feel that we should at least try to submit our present plan and let them come back to us with their idaeas! We must stop gobbling up land with low density and large lots. We should have a mix of medium and low density to keep the costs of lots and services down. MSD & LCDC is just another (Godfather) agency and does not have the community of Tigard's best interests. As well as temporary developers interests are for the Dollar—not for the community. I don't know why Tigard "needs" more apartments. i MMMMMMMMMMEM 1 i �4-4-Mayor's Advisory Council Report, Jan. ;981 �. THE ISSUE: Tigard needs to plan for a future civic center to house all city departments, and to provide an adequate community library, community meeting rooms, and other services. Plans need to be made with full citizen participation and a site needs to be selected before all available land is bolt upon or priced out of sight. Should the City Council immediately designate its YE.S NO NO ANS. prime site, seek citizen support for a civic center plan over the next two years and tie down a location?... 80 11 0 ( 5) lOjo (lj) 4/ (li) . --0OMI�DI?'S The City should be aware of public responce to the location of the future Civic Center. �d the property desired, set it before the board, and put it on a bond issue. As soon as possible. The City needs new facilities—they will never by any cheaper. This is a much needed project. Would not this be related to the urban renewal program? Renovate the current downtown structure to be comfortable, functional but maintain the old architecture. Sounds like the question begs the answer. Needed badly—if the concensus is to go ahead on urban renewal—this should be in the goal. Tigard can do without a new civic center until that time that Tigard can live within its budget as the public has asked. Tigard is growing up—and has the growing pais to prove it—Main St. is like I-5 anymore. I feel that having the meetings in the high school is adequate. Unaware if plans have been made—if yes—then my answer would be to proceed. Tigard needs an identity=--this may be a way of achieving this for the citizens—planning and building a city hall. It is vital for Tigard's development to revitalize the downtwon area and have some sort of civic center as a focal point. That's utopia—but someone should educate citizens that this Tigardville should be far sighted. It should be planned on a scale which is practical. now, but made possible for adequaeey in the future. Use our existing schools for meeting space. We don't need it use our schools for meetings, etc. ' The City should use the lands it already owns to trade or offset the cost. Tigard is growing—its later than we think. Tigard need a "pride project". j The Council needs to seek citizen support first and then move to tie down the rest. 1 th citizen support the council needs to act now. This is a need; however how about private investors building the buildigg and leasing it to the City. As belts tighten for all of us, this idea might seem an unnecessary extravaace. However, the citizens of Tigard seem to wish to retain an identity that requires visible demon- strations of autonomous governmental functions—what is a City without a "City Fall" (is civic center) we can all be proud of. Civic Center –2-2-2– Construction should be deferred until there is an improvement in interest rates and the economy. P I question the advisability of each small community developing expensive governmental complexes. Depends on cost and location. Maybe a citizens committee of qualified people should formed for this task. Not at this time—sit tight and see what developes after the recession or depression. Monies of any consequence that are to be spent should be put before the voters of Tigard. 7 e City of Tigard, in any opinion, is ready for improving its identity as a vialble 8ity vs just a suburb. As the economy improves, I am confident that the citizens of Tigard will look to themselves for needed improvem*nts in the various ways available and properly presented to them. This project should be tabled until the economy improves. The proposed auditorium at Tigard High School should meet the needs of our community. Lets take one step at a time! Designate several sites, and lets discuss, possibly vote! The City should have a civic center or city hall. However, the designation of a prime site or sites should be the subject of citizen input since any project is going to require strong citizen support. The City Council should seek citizen support for a civic center prior to designating a prime site. l The City should stress the public service aspects of the civic center—note . housing of public offices. People are interested in services, not the comfort of public employees. They let the old Fowler school slip through their hands. Develop civic center and compatable land uses as the renegal of downtown. Civic center should be part of urban renewal. I would question the cost effectiveness of such a project at this time, Try for public land a-ccady built on, City, school, county, state, federal. Stay away from downtown or build on existing property. Land is not going to get cheaper? It is now or never. Tigard needs identity—•which a civic center could possible establish. I feel the facilities being used at present are adequate. t_ Will sell my land with private lake (Price 5 million $).
