Subject: Cable Communications Special Meeting 10/14/81 ?
As you are aware, Cable Communications has been the serious study of the
Metropolitan Cable Communications Task Force for the past few years. The
recommendations and subsequent decisions in this area will affect our community
in years to come unlike any other decision facing us.
The profit potential of the Cable Franchise also subjects the decision making
process to subtle and significant pressure. To vent these pressures in a positive
and public way, I suggest a special meeting on this most important subject.
I suggest a Special Meeting of the Tigard City Council at Fowler Junior High,
7:30 P.M. , Wednesday, October 14, 1981:
• Presentation by Cable Task Force
• Presentation by Liberty Cable
• Presentation by Storer/Metro Cable

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council )1
From: Bob Jean, City Administrator
Subject: Urban Renewal Ordinance
r
L
We are all well aware of the sensitivity surrounding any Urban Renewal
Project. The Downtown Committee is still just in the study stage. One
alternative available for Downtown Redevelopment is an Urban Renewal Agency.
The process is such, however, that if the Urban Renewal Agency option is selected,
we could not avail ourselves of the 1982-83 tax increment if we waited until the
Plan was ready to then adopt the enabling ordinance. If we pass the ordinance
in October and if we then adopt a flan in Decemeber, we can proceed in time
for the 1982-83 tax year.
Passage of this ordinance will not enact anything, but does allow for
enactment upon Plan adoption at a later date. Conversely, if we do not
adopt a Plan, then this ordinance can be repealed.
The Downtown Committee, the Consultant and the Planning Director will be present
Monday, October 12th to explain further. Additionally, I have asked Ed Sullivan
to be prepared to verify the essence of this memo and to discuss the following:
o Is an emergency clause needed?
o Can we get a vote before the December deadline for the 1982-83 tax year?
o Is a non-binding advisory referendum election possible?
Ed Sullivan will bring the ordinance with the Council as the Agency Board.
Alternatively, language will be ready should you prefer a separate Board.

RE: Creation of an Urban Renewal Agency
Attached please find a proposed ordinance which would create the
Tigard Urban Renewal Agency, as per the recommendation of your
consultants.
The proposal before Council has an alternative which the Council
should consider. The ordinance has been written to have the Council
act as the governing body of the urban renewal agency. Another
alternative, which is attached, and which could be substituted for
the present language of the proposed Section 19 . 04 .030, would have
the Mayor and Council appoint a five member governing body. If
the Council wishes to be the governing body of the agency, it
should adopt the attached ordinance. If it wishes to appoint a
separate body to govern the Agency, it should adopt the alternative.
A number of questions have been posed regarding the creation of
such an agency. The first question relates to whether such an
agency can be created by an ordinance with an emergency clause.
The answer is that it cannot. ORS 457.035 (1) specifically prohibits
such creation, except by nonemergency ordinance.
The second question relates to the issue of forming such an agency
without a popular vote. The answer is that such an agency can be
so formed, as ORS 457 .035 and 457.045 do not require such a vote.
You should note, however, that both creation of the urban renewal
agency and the approval of any agency plans must be undertaken by
nonemergency ordinance. Thus, such ordinances are subject to the
initiative and referendum power of the voters under Article IV,
Section 1a of the Oregon Constitution.
A subsidiary question to the above relates to the timing of an
election if the matter were referred to the voters of Tigard. The
election dates for city measures are set forth in ORS 221 .230 (1) ,
and are required to be followed except in the event of an actual
emergency as described in subsections (2) and (3) of that statute.
Those dates are:
(a) the third Tuesday in February;
(b) the last Tuesday in March;
(c) the third Tuesday in May;
(d) the last Tuesday in June;
(e) the third Tuesday in September; or
a- e firvt mue---dajafter ta..hcae 4:114 r J tV- Monday in November.

PORTLAND. OREGON 97209
1503, 222-4402 FROM: City Attorney
RE: Creation of an Urban Renewal Agency
Further, notice of an election must be given to the Washington
County Elections Officer not less than 35 days before such election,
so these dates must be figured into any computation of time for
dealing with an election, should the Council so choose to refer
this matter to the voters.
A second subsidiary question is whether the Council could form
the agency and hold an election at which an advisory vote would be
taken. As a home rule entity, the city may certainly hold an
advisory election. However, it would be up to the Council to
decide whether it would be bound by the vote after such an election.
In other words, the obligation would be moral , rather than legal.
The Council could also refer out the ordinance forming the agency
to the people or refer out a repealing ordinance for such a vote.
A third question relates to the timing of the use of any tax
increment funds received by the agency under ORS 457. 420 to 457. 460.
ORS 457.450 (1) and (2) provide:
" (1) (a) The provisions of subsections (1) to (5) of ORS
457. 440 (note--these relate to tax increment financing under-
taken by notice given to the County Assessor) shall first
apply to the assessment roll next following the tax roll
referred to in ORS 457.430 if the Assessor is provided notice
of the plan adoption by the agency prior to January 1 of the
assessment year to which the plan first applies.
(b) If the Assessor is not provided notice of plan adoption
by the agency prior to January 1 of the assessment year to
which the provisions of ORS 457.440 would otherwise first
apply under paragraph (a) of this subsection, then the
provisions of subsections (1) to (5) of ORS 457. 440 shall
first apply to the assessment roll next following the
assessment roll described in paragraph (a) of this subsection.
" (2) When the principal and interest on indebtedness to which
the portion of taxes is irrevocably pledged for payment under
subsection (6) Of ORS 457.440 is fully paid, or it is found
that deposits in the special fund are sufficient to fully pay
principal and interest on that indebtedness either through
direct payment of the indebtedness or by payment of the
principal and interest on bands or notes issued to finance
the indebtedness, the agency shall notify the Assessor of that
fact and for the tax year in which the notice is received and
each year thereafter the County Assessor shall compute the
rate percent of the levy for each taxing body in which an
urban renewal area, or part thereof, is located without regard
d" to the limitations provided in ORS 457.440. "

1727 N.W. HOYT STREET TO: Mayor and City Council of Tigard
PORTLAND. OREGON 57209
(503) 222-4402 FROM: City Attorney
RE: Creation of an Urban Renewal Agency
This means that if collections of taxes for the urban renewal agency
by tax increment financing is contemplated after October 15, 1982
(the date on which the 1982-83 assessment roll is due for delivery
to the tax collector) , the notice of adoption of an urban renewal
plan must be given to the Assessor no later than December 31 , 1981.
A fourth question relates to the effect of Council action on the
proposed ordinance. All this ordinance does is create an urban
renewal authority. Any action in adopting a plan or undertaking
construction or other improvements must be approved by the governing
body of the urban renewal agency with the attendant level of
detailed findings and procedures required by ORS Chapter 457 at
that later date.
A final question is whether the urban renewal agency may construct
public buildings (such as a new civic center) from urban renewal
funds, including tax increment monies. There is no specific pro-
hibition on such activity. In fact, my conversations with legal
officials of the city of Beaverton and elsewhere indicate to me that
construction of such buildings may be construed to be a part of
removing "blight" .
In this connection, ORS 457. 230 (1) may appear to present a problem
in that it allows the urban renewal agency to make land available
to public or private agencies at such a value determined to be the
"fair reuse value" of such land. My conversations with legal
officials of the city of Beaverton indicate to me that "fair reuse
value" is pretty much a discretionary figure and established after
the plan for the urban renewal agency has been adopted. The plan
may provide for public use of such lands, in which case the "fair
reuse value" may be very low.
The only other matter I wish to bring to your attention at this
point is that the construction of public buildings on urban renewal
land generates no new tax monies and, therefore, provides no funds
for the tax increment financing of other urban renewal projects.
I hope the above is of assistance to you. If you require further
information, please advise.

COUNCIL MEMBERS:
ON SEPTEMBER 22, 1981, WE MET WITH THE DOIJNTOWN TIGARD COMMITTEE TO
DISCUSS CONDITIONS IN THE DOI4NTOWN At1D A SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF
A PLAN BY DECEMBER 31, 1931. IT WAS RECO-'-V'IENDED BY THE C(yAm ITTEE THAT
THE COUNCIL TAKE ACTION ON THE FORN�ITION OF AN URBAN RENEI;'/.L AGENCY
AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT" A NON—EMERGENCY ORDINfN.CE
TO ALLOW THE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY OF THE CITY OF TIGARD TO EXERCISE ITS
STATUTORY POWERS. THIS STEP WOULD ONLY ALLOW THE AGENCY TO DEVELOP A
PLAN FOR PRESENTATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SHOULD THE COUNCIL, AT ANY
TIME, DETERMINE THAT THE CITY SHOULD NOT PROCEED WITH AN URBAN RENEI%dAL
PLAN AND PROGRAM, THE AGENCY MAY BE TERMINATED BY ORDINANCE.
DISCUSSION:
1. IN ORDER TO MEET THE DECEMBER 31 DEADLINE FOR MAKING THE TAX IN—
CREMENT FUNDS AVAILABLE NEXT YEAR, THE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY OF THE CITY
OF TIGARD MUST BE AUTHORIZED TO EXERCISE ITS POWERS TO DEVELOP AN URBAN
RENEWAL PLAN (SEE PROPOSED SCHEDULE. BY MEETING THIS DEADLINE, THE
F RENEWAL AGENCY WILL BE IN A POSITION TO FUND DOWNTOWN IMiPROVEMENT PRO—
JECTS IN 1982.
2. THE CITY OF TIGARD HAS AN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY BY STATE LAW
CORS 457.035). THE CITY HAS MADE A COM'iMITTMENT TO DEVELOPING A DOWNTOI•;N
REVITALIZATION PLAN AND TO INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY OF URBAN RENEWAL.
THE ACTIVATION OF THE AGENCY IS A NECESSARY STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
AN URBAN RENEWAL PLAIN ASD DOES NOT REPRESENT A COMMITTMENT BEYOND THAT
ALREADY MADE BY THE COUNCIL.
3. ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO EXERCISE THE POWERS OF THE URBAN RENEI•:AL
AGENCY DOES NOT COMMIT THE CITY TO CARRY OUT AN URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM.
THE CITY IS NOT COMMITTED TO AN URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM UNTIL A PLAN IS
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
4. STATE STATUTE PROVIDES FOR TERMINATION OF AN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY BY
THE CITY COUNCIL. IF NO PLAN IS ADOPTED WITHON ONE YEAR AFTER FORMATION
OF THE AGENCY, THE COUNCIL SHOULD TERMINATE THE AGENCY.
5. THE CITY COUNCIL CAN ELECT VARYING DEGREES OF CONTROL OVER AN URBAN'
RENEWAL AGENCY IN ADDITION TO THE ABILITY TO APPROVE THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN.
A. THE CITY COUNCIL MAY ORDAIN ITSELF AS THE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY.
B. THE CITY COUNCIL MAY APPOINT A BOARD OR COMMISSION AS THE AGENCY,
WITH COUNCIL APPROVAL OF BY—LAWS AND BUDGETS OF THE AGENCY. IN
ADDITION, THE COUNCIL HAS THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE OR REJECT
AN URBAN RENEWAL PLAN, AND TO TERMINATE THE AGENCY.

ABOVE. IF THE COUNCIL ELECTS TO A'POINT A COl',44ISSION, THIS COULD BE DONE
IN THIRTY DAYS WHEN THE ORDINANCE CREATING THE CO?.MISSIOFJ BECOM; S EFFECTIVE.
SCHEDULE:
A PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR FORMATION OF AN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY AND ADOPTION
OF A PLAN BY DECEI.IBER 31 IS ATTACHED. THIS IS A VERY COMPRESSED SCHEDULE
AND ALLOWS LITTLE TIME FOR SLIPPAGE. IN SEVERAL CASES ALTERNATE DATES
HAVE BEEN SHOWN AND MARKED AS THE LAST POSSIBLE DATE FOR COMPLETION OF
THE GIVEN TASK IF THE DEADLINE IS TO BE MET.
SHOULD THE DEADLINE BE MISSED, THE OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE LOST TO OBTAIN
TAX INCREMENT REVENUES IN 1982. HOWEVER, THERE WOULD STILL BE SEVERAL
MONTHS TIME TO ADOPT A PLAN AND STILL FREEZE THE 1981/82 TAX ROLL. THERE-
FORE, 'THE MAJOR LOSS IN MISSING THE DECEMBER 31 DEADLINE k-10ULD BE A
DELAY OF ONE YEAR. BEFORE THE RENEWAL AGENCY COULD CARRY OUT ANY PROJECTS.
IT WOULD BE DESIREABLE TO ESTABLISH AN URBAN! RENEWAL AGENCY WITH THE MOMEN-
TUM OF A FUNDING SOURCE IN THE FIRST YEAR.
THE ATTACHED SCHEDULE CALLS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE" TO
ESTABLISH AN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY ON OCTOBER 12, 1981. THE CITY COUNCIL
CANNOT MEET THE DECEMBER 31, 1981, DEADLINE UNLESS THE COUNCIL ADOPTS
SUCH AN ORDINANCE PRIOR TO THE END OF OCTOBER.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE:
ACCORDING TO STATE LAW, THE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY OF THE CITY OF TIGARD
ALREADY EXISTS CORS 1157.035). HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO EXERCISE ITS POWERS,
A NON-EMERGENCY ORDINANCE MUST BE ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. SUCH AN
ORDINANCE WOULD CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS, TO BE PRESENTED FOR
CONSIDERATION BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN A FORM APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.

FINDINGS ON CONDITIONS OF BLIGHT
AND THE NEED FOR AN URBAN
RENEWAL AGENCY TO FUNCTION
I . CONDITIONS OF BLIGHT
"BLIGHTED AREAS" ARE DEFINED IN SECTION 1157.010 OF THE OREGON REVISED
STATUTES. THE EXISTENCE OF ANY ONE OF NINE CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE
STATUTE 1S SUFFICIENT TO FIND THAT A BLIGHTED AREA EXISTS. THREE OF
THESE CONDITIONS DO EXIST IN DO'W'NTOWN TIGARD AS DESCRIBED BEL01.1. THE-
AREAS DESCRIBED BELOW INCLUDE MAIN STREET AND AREAS ADJACENT TO MAITN
STREET. HOWEVER, THE DEFINITION OF A DISCREET BOUNDARY SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED LATER, AS PART OF A PROPOSED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN.
A. INADEQUATE STREET SYSTEM CORS 457.01OCl)(E))
A PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE STREET DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE PROGR.,%%1
FOR THE CITY HAS IDENTIFIED STREET IMPROVEMENT NEEDS FOR THE DO',-!;v-
TOWN AREA OF TIGARD. STREETS IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENT ARE BURNHf,',,
TIGARD, COMMERCIAL AND MAIN FOR A TOTAL PROJECTED COST OF $1 .2
MILLION. DUE TO THE LIMITED FUNDS AVAILABLE, ONLY $150,000 FOR
WIDENING OF THE MAIN STREET BRIDGE IS PROPOSED IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS.
1. MAIN STREET IS DESIGNATED AS A MAJOR COLLECTOR (1,500 TO
10,000 VEHICLES PER DAY) IN THE PLAN. MAIN STREET HAS TWO
TRAFFIC LANES WITH ANGLED PARKING. A NARROW BRIDGE OVER.
FANNO CREEK IS A POTENTIAL BOTTLENECK. SIDEWALKS ARE
GENERALLY ADEQUATE EXCEPT FOR BRIDGE OVER FANNO AND RAILROAD
CROSSING. THE EXISTING BRIDGE IS TOO NARROW FOR ADEQUATE
SIDEWALKS. THE RAILROAD CROSSING IS NOT A PROPER. SIDEWALK
BUT RATHER OCCUPIES THE PARKING LANE OF THE STREET. MAIN
STREET WILL REQUIRE IMPROVEMENTS TO FUNCTION AS A MAJOR
COLLECTOR.
2. THE POSSIBLE RELOCATION OF CITY HALL TO THE CORNER OF ASH
AND BURNHAM, STREETS AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF ASH STREET WILL

INCREASE PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC ON BURNT-IAM STREET.
STREET RIGHT OF WAY IS IN VI-•,RY ING WIDTHS WITH S I DEW;1LKS ONLY
ON A SMALL PORTION.
TIGARD STREET AND CO,tit`iERCIAL STREET PASS UNDERNEATH HIGtIi�i,Y
99. THESE STREETS PROVIDE POTENTIAL PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE
ACCESS TO MAIN STREET FROM THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOf2HOODS TO
THE WEST. HOWEVER, THE LACK OF SIDEI•JA,LKS, THE P.AILROAD TRACKS
AND THE "TUNNEL" EFFECT PRODUCED BY THE HIGITHAY 99 OVERPASS,
DISCOURAGE USE BY PEDESTRIANS.
4. COMMERCIAL STREET HAS SIDEWALKS ON ONLY A PORTION ADJACENT
TO MAIN STREET. A BUS TRANSIT CENTER IS PLANNED FOR
COMMERCIAL STREET. THIS WILL RESULT IN HEAVY BUS TRAFFIC
ON COMMERCIAL STREET AND MAIN STREET. IMPROVEMENT MAY BE
REQUIRED AT THE INTERSECTION TO ACCOMODATE LEFT TURNS.
5. HALL STREET, THE EASTERN PORTION OF SCOFFINS, AND THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF ASH STREET HAVE NO SIDEWALKS.
B. AREAS SUBJECT TO INUNDATION BY WATER CORS 457.010(1-)(F))
THE FANNO CREEK FLOOD PLAIN CUTS ACROSS MAIN STREET AND THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA. PORTIONS OF THE FLOOD PLAIN HAVE BEEN
FILLED AND DEVELOPED, PORTIONS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE CITY FOR USE
AS PARK LAND, AND PORTIONS REMAIN UNCOMMITTED.
C. AN ECONOMIC DISLOCATION, DETERIORATION, OR DISUSE OF PROPERTY RESULTING
FROM FAULTY PLANNING CORS 457.010(1)CB»
1. THE ASSIGNED ROLE FOR DOWNTOWN TIGARD AS DESIGNATED IN THE CITYS
ADOPTED PLANS HAS CHANGED FROM ONE OF AN INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY
COMMERCIAL AREA IN THE TIGARD COMMUNITY PLAN TO ONE OF A
COMMUNITY-ORIENTED SHOPPING CENTER AND GOVERNMENTAL CENTER IN
THE NPO NUMBER 1 REFINEMENT PLAN. THIS CHANGING POLICY HAS LED
TO A PATTERN OF MIXED USES IN SOME AREAS INCLUDING MANUFACTURING,
LIGHT INDUSTRY, RETAIL COPMIERCIAL, AND SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
2. TWO RAILROADS CUT THROUGH THE CENTEk OF THE DOWNTOWN ON PAI2ALLEL
TRACKS, WHICH DISRUPTS CIRCULATION AND IMPACTS ADJACENT PROPERTIES
WITH NOISE, ODOR AND VIBRATION.
3. THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY CUTS THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN, DISRUPTING
CIRCULATION AND IMPACTING MAIN STREET THROUGH TRAFFIC NOISE. THE
HIGHWAY IS ESPECIALLY PROMINENT BECAUSE IT IS CONSTRUCTED ON AN
EARTH FILL OVER TWENTY FEET HIGH AT ITS HIGHEST POINT.

PART I - DEVELOPMENT AND ADOPTION OF URBAN Rht,1Fi-1AL
Brief History of Urban Renewal Law in Orcqon
In 1951 , the Legislature first provided the means for uz, ,.;.a-n
renewal programs in Oregon . Tne 1951 la-,,7 included provisions
for tax increment financing without popular approval . The con-
stitutionality of this--tax increment financing a vote
of L the people--was tested and upheld in 19153 . in ''_979 , the
Legislature rewrote several url-)an rene%-.Ial statutes con-
tained in ORS Chapter 457 . The-se revisions resulted in several
significant changes to the urban renewal law, which includQ :
financial reporting requirements and standards for the use of
tax increment financing ; requirements that plan r3p',proval is to
bt! done by nonemergency ordinance olf the govc-i ning body; pro-
visions for greater public pactici-pation and ijotification;
restrictions which limit the size of an urban rene�-.-a I plan to a
!7;
maximum of 25% of the total assesed value 01, tile riunicioalit-'.

Basically , the plan identifies the il").pact of the pro-posc--l" r C.-d e-
activities , priii-iarilv in terms of land use char es ,
and the report contains financial , budgetary --n--3 other
tion necessary to develop an understanding of how the plan c,ill
be put into effect .
At a minimum, the redevelopment plan must contain a legal
description and map of the Proposed redevelopment area; a
description of each redevelopment project; an outline and esti-
mated time schedule for the re6evelop,,-tierit activities; an
explanation of the plan ' s relationship to other -local objJr2c-

and building requirements for the redevelopl-oient area; an indi-
cation of tiahich real property i;,ay be acquired , and

anticipated method of of that real property;y; a
description of the methods to he used for the temporarN, or

ated in the redevelopment area; an identification of the
Possible funding sources , and whether funding will be whally,
partly or not at all through the tax increment process; and a
description of what type of possible future amendments to the
plan are so substantial as to require the same notice , hearing
and approval procedure required of the original plan.
The accompanying report must contain information on the
existing conditions and the impact of the plan on those condi-
tions; the reasons for selection of the redeve-le-pment plan
area ; the relationship b,--4---,-,ecn the redevelopment projects and
the existing conditions; the estimated total public cost of
each project and sources of money to pay for such costs; the
estimated completion date for each project; the estimated

the redevelopment plan in December of this year , t L t.h
Assessor �-Jould compute tax incrcmients in the next
year , namely , for the 1982-83 tax roll. However , if the rea_--
velopment plan is not adopted until sometime in 1922 , 'L'hcn the
Assessor would compute the tax increments for the 19E;3--S4
roll . Therefore , unlike the timing f or the freezing of the-
true cash value base , the City does not have as long a tim;:- to
adopt the plan if it wishes to begin capturing tax
in 10-82-83 . The City must therefore adopt the plan by
31 , 1961 , or lose an entire ye-ar of potential tax increment
earnings.
As an example of what this could mean to the City in terms of-
dollars , a conservative estimate would be that the City could
capture approximately $20 , 000 in tax increlii-,c!nts for 1982--83
based upon an inflationary increase alone. This assumes a
iiinimum assessed value Of $20 , 000 , 000 for the reei2vclopmenr
area. A 5% inflationary increase would add 51 , 000 , 000 twhic!(
would be the increment) and applying a $20 tax rate the t
r jL
is $20 ,000 accruing to the Urban Renewal Agency .

CHAPTER IV: SELECTED TOPICS
A. WHY URBAN RENEWAL BY A PUBLIC, RATHE-2 Tfit=„i PRIVA-(E
Blight
Urban renewal stems fron) a community's need to arrest and rover-5^ ! Ight.
The cornmuni ty sees blighted areas mproduc i r,y &-icl i n i ng pr op`rty va i;!�:s.
Blighted areas cause added :tnicipal costs for police� an,'! fire protection,
and for social services. In the main, property ta;: syster;s pr ovid;;
little incentive to the private sector to redevelop blighted areas on a
large scale so as to accord with environrr:=ental policy and comi-relic
planning. Thus, the need exists for a public agency to initiate renel.rj11 .
Moreover, a public agency can involve the public so as to hofrOfuli,-
produce balanced development.
Balanced Development
Balanced development means a mix of residential , com:r-arcial , industriai
and institutional projects. Balanced development calls for public
participation representing many interests: comimercial , industrial and
financial interests; labor and consumer interests; non-prof-it and social
agencies; city hall ; and the residents of the affected area. tlhere these
interests find common concerns , balanced dove 1opment, results and helms
restore vitality to a declining area. Vitality promotes a long-rang_-_
stability which transcends the quick payoff of purely economic d-,valnnr:-nt
Public Development Attracts Private ^evelopmant
The role played by a public agency is attractive to the private sector.
An urban renewal agency can initiate large scale development which the-
private
heprivate sector frequently cannot match:
1. An agency can make large scale land acquisitions of diverse
ownerships for it has the power of eminent domain. /also renewal
agencies in Oregon which have carried out non-federally assisted
programs have emphasized public improvai;lents. These irnprovcrre-nts
promote new development.
2. An agency can carry out a range of public improvements at no
cost to the private sector. These may include traffic, street,
and parking improvements; sewer, water, and power lines ; mass
transit, pedestrian, and bicycle thoroughfares.
3. An agency can carry out relocation of businesses and residents
so that the new sites are within their financial means.
24
4. An agency can, in effect, subsidize the costs o-' environrn�nta]
factors by selling sites to developers at a "write-do•.:n"
price which represents "fair value". The success of an urban
renewal program is measured by its ability to attract local
investors. Investors must be convinced that the ren2;!al area
will develop and prosper over the long tern.
5. Renewal does not preclude a strong tilt to economic developr:jent.
The argument can be made that rejuvenated areas -which mainly
include commercial properties show more rapid growth than
residential areas.
Investors may look to urban core development if land in outlying
areas becomes more expensive to develop as shopping centers.
Core development is enhanced by the ability of an urban ren,2,aal
agency to coordinate plans for high density housing develops;_nts
and mass transit systems to sustain long-term economic vitality.
Local Government Function
Because diverse ownerships may prevent comprehensive land development,
local government has broad powers. Urban renewal agencies can identify
-----
the areas in need, prepare plans for land use, acquire land through
eminent domain, place controls on the land to assure proper redevelopment,
make public improvements and, if necessary, assure the production of loti►
income housing. The function of private developers is to develop the
land according to pian.
In short, an urban renewal agency undertakes to do those things which
attract deyainnMnn+ Tip.. Ia... to 111c Ar-7 nn,N
r••• . iu.. 1tiAr-71 # kvna -r-j/ --v) spedKS Lu
using public moneys to redevelop blighted areas as a matter o.` state
concern. That concern stems from a large share of local funds used to
provide protectiosi from disease, crime, fire, and safety hazards. A
hoped for result is that renewal will generate higher assessed values
which may produce lower tax rates over the long term.
25
B. POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF URD.AJ! RE„L,;AL ON MAIMIE'f
r Case 1_�f,farket Value May Fail Belo:,. Tj,. "Frozer, Va1r:e"
In a deteriorating area, if no redeveloprr:_r,t occurs for sc,,r:e tine ..iter
an urban rencaal plan is adopted, property values e:ay contir+ue to
below the frozen base true cash value.
Also, "land banking" by the urban, renewal agancy rer:oves property from
the tax roll , thus further reducing current true cash value. ("Land
banking" is the acquisition, clearing, asser,,)iy, and holding off the load
by the urban renewal agency before private developrnnt developer occur. )
The significance of a current value below that of "frozen value" is that
annual tax rates for affected districts are computed in terr:rs of tha
lower value, in this case, a current value that has dropped belo�er "fro.,:--an
value".
Case 2: A Modest Rise May Occur Before Real Development Occurs
This possibility occurs when an urban renewal plan is adopted, initial
action starts to implement that plan, but little or no real developj-,.e:lt
happens. For example, assume the rapid acquisition, assembly and clearing
of land. Also, assume the urban renewal agency contacts private develop rs,
but no sites are sold for development. In this case, mere rroverrent
towards development may spur a modest rise in market values.
Case 3: Real Development Starts
Redevelopment spurs market values upward. However, it should be noted
that inflationary forces push values upward, too.
Case 4: Sale of Urban Renewal Bonds
The sale of these bonds (frequently, tax increment bonds) usually accel -
erates development. Bond sales make available a large surd of money to
buy and clear land, providing clear, movement towards private development.
As in case 3, redevelopment spurs market values upward.
26
C. TAX INCRLDIENT BONDS AND CAS;; FLC'.`
Bonding
General obligation bonds rust be approved by voters, but tax. increr,ant
bonds need no voter approval . They are issuQd by the Urban r�r: :;;t? ag-2ncy,
usually with the advice of a reputable bond consul �.all;,.
Also, since the urban renewal agency is responsible, tax incr;_'r ant bonds
do not obligate the municipality. This forks to the 1)e—, fit of the
municipality for it is not encumbered, yet it be•n�_fits from
An urban renewal agency usually issues tax increment bonds to obt=_yin
funds before private development begins. These bonds ara secured solely
by the expectation that renewal causes market (true cash) values to
rise. Values which rise above an initial frozen base true cash value
will produce tax increments. Taxes collected on this increment trill
retire the bonds. To the extent that thes-c boo ds are retired by added
value growth, tax increment bonds are self-supporting.
When tax increment bonds are sold, competitive bids determine the interest
rate payable to bondholders. That interest rate is slightly high.-r
than general obligation bonds because the risks are higher. But the
probable costs of delayed construction in an inflationary period suggeStS
real savings via tax increment bond financing versus the delays o-"
general obligation bond financing requiring voter approval .
General obligation bonds are backed by a known assessed value, but the
security of tax increment bonds depends upon the expectation that assessed
values will rise. Yet it is that expectation of rising values not
constrlined11y a fixed value that allows greater flexibility in deter-
mining the issue amount for tax increr,ant bonds.
Based on a bond consultant 's recommendations on the amount and terve
of the bonds, an urban renewal agency authorizes sale of tax increr-ent
bonds. The bond consultant prepares supporting documents for the benfit
of prospective bond buyers. These buyers are careful to daterraine when,
and in what amounts, tax revenues will begin to retire bonds. The sale
of bonds is awarded to the lowest bidder.
Bond sale funds are used to pay public development costs (land acquisition,
clearing, etc. ) before private development starts. Even before bond
funds accrue, however, federal grants and other sources of funding (if
available) can be used to pay certain initial public costs.

Bien cash flow is enhanced. '
Land banking resulted from foriver federal prograris. Detailed federal
rules requiring compliance made recessary lon.;ar "leas, tin:; s". one
effect saw land stockpiling whip regulations 4'iere b=in" cosihlied
with. Stockpiling stretched out the time before tax~incre;nents could
accrue. Moreover, the removal from the tax roll Of property in the hands
of a tax exempt agency (the urban renewal agency) reduced tax increw-ants.
Now, since the demise of federal urban renewal funds, local governments
find they can achieve their goals more quickly through sale OF tax
increment bonds. Investors buy the lard from the urban renewal agency
and develop it according to the urban renewal plan. This generates a
cash floe which promotes further private development and breeds a
climate of renewed optimism and rising property values.
D. SOME PROS AND CONS OF URBAN RENEWAL AND TAX INCRENIENT FINANCING
I. Redevelopment and renewal can increase the true cash valua of an
area. When market values rise, tax levies are spread over
assessed value anu 111dy possibly cause tax rates to decline. J '
2. If values rise a new economic climate grows, private capital flo;•rs
into the renewed area, job• prospects improvF. In some cities, urb n
renewal contributes to increased tourism and business revenues.
3. Renewal by tax increment financing "pays for itself" by dedicating
the increment to a fund which pays off the debts incurred by renewal .
Another aspect is that tax increment financing is not based on addod
tax levies and therefore requires no voter approval . Still , ons notes
that a tax rate based upon a "frozen value" may also be freezing a
higher tax rate than would otherwise occur if values were to rise
without urban renewal . Even if tax rates should decline after tax
increment bonds are retired, a bare tax rate argument rray not be
convincing. Taxpayers within districts affected by urban renewal may
be subsidizing projects that benefit only the inner coimmunity but not
the outlying areas of a district. The frozen tax rates may persist
for 20 or more years in order to produce sufficient tax increments
that retire bonded debts.
28
4. A tc�.xpc?vL3I Iilay feel he/sh2 is sub i d i z i nq u i'lban r'ene,.,!al tU til?
extent that valu<_s Would rise regardless of rcr]�;,ai ,
Still , many contend that if bl i gait is not stopped, the test of
neglect is invisibly added to tax bil is i;i the for;:] of d�2,r-..3nds on
budgets. Also, many citizens are persuaded of tiie benefii:s oft,l(J}
l i„
improvements for pedestrians, wotorists and consuraind tthey not: a
concern for social , health, and safety conditions.
5. These factors rriay weigh against tax increrT_nt financing:
-- Private developn;ant needs to be substantial . Restoration,
rehabilitation, or small --scale na:-1 constructicr, does not yield
substantial tax increments. For this anon, rehabilitation of
residential neighborhoods has rarely bean used in Orego:i.
-- Tax increment financing appears not to be useful when new
deveiopment is primarily public developinent; these 11a,cili-4I are
tax exempt and generate no tax increments.
- - Local governing boards are autono;rous in initiating and carrying
forward the process of urban renewal despite public hearings and
public pressure upon elected officials. Boards must take care
to assure taxing units that their normal revenues will not be
disturbed.
-- A prime developer may withdraw.
7• Some critics see "wrap-around" redevelopment as legal piracy.
"Wrap-around" redevelopment works like this: An investor decides to
build a facility. It will add to the assessed value base and generate
new tax revenues. The municipal governing board sees a chance to
include that facility vi thin the boundaries of the project, i .e. to
"wrap" the renewal project around the private development. This ..;, ii
cu},tu a additional tax -increments.
Supporters of "wrap-around" revenue say there is an obligation to
promote community development, especially when urban renewal embraces
a broader area than private enterprise would itself undertake.
Thus, the setting of urban renewal boundaries becomes important:
Since those boundaries may include private davelopm2nt, either
planned or underway, those privately funded developi,ents help finance
the renewal project by adding tax increments.
LMM29
8. Some critics point out that increased density fre,g urban rcne:-4al
housing projects within the renewal area causes rising niunicip tl
costs. This may be true of some municipal costs. But cosr_s may
be reduced if rene�4al eliminates blight, fire hazards, bad utility
systems, and unsafe traffic patterns, Moriover, [;;ass trans
revenues may increase due to shorter an(( greater hauls fro;im h ;gher
density areas.
3. Where tax increment financing can be used, it can proceed faster
than other kinds of financing. It works we-11 where a high le%el of
private corn,,ti tment to develop;resit exists and i-:here other funding,
sources absorb initial planning and other "front end" costs. While
the future of tax increment financing is less certain because of
Oregon 's limitation on the assessment growth and an increasing state
bonded debt, that financing remains an important tool in solving
urban problems and in revitalizing deteriorating areas.

MEMO TO: LGPI Members
FROM. Kirk Berger, Director
As the time draws near for another "season" of labor contract negotiations ,
I want to remind you of the assistance LGPI can offer its members related to
various labor relations activities.
First, for Vose of you who haven't heard we have had a change in labor relations
staff. Kevin Lindgren joined the LGPI staff this past summer, coming from Los
Angeles where he was the southern region manager of the Nestern Newpaper Industrial
Relations Bureau. In that capacity he assisted 45 newspapers with labor relations,
wage and hour, discrimination and health and safety issues.
In his four years' experience, Kevin negotiated approximately nine contracts
per year, handled numerous grievance arbitrations each year, and acted as counsel
for the newspapers before the National Labor Relations Board. Kevin brings an
extensive labor relations background to LGPI and we hope that you will contact
him as labor relations issues arise in ,your jurisdictions.
In addition to providing technical assistance to our members, Kevin is available
to assist in the negotiation of contracts, either in a behind-the-scenes capacity
or as the at-the-table spokesperson. Fees are charged for the negotiations
services but many of the follow-up contract administration services, such as
contract interpretation or grievance handling are nrniri,lod ns nn-i- -F -Ur chn
ical
assistance to members.
Also, keep in mind that LGPI maintains a variety of information that can be of
value to you at various stages of the negotiations process, including current
labor contracts from a large number of public agencies, salary, benefit and CPI
data, and sample contract language.
If you are relatively new to the bargaining process , our library contains a number
of publications offering insight into dynamics of contract negotiations. These
publications are available on a loan basis.
Believing that "two heads may be better than one" on occasion, we encourage you
to contact Kevin during the negotiations process to discuss bargaining tactics and
positions.
While we hope everyone's bargaining culminates in settlement prior to factfinding
or binding arbitration, for those who aren't so fortunate LGPI maintains an index
of factfinders and arbitrators. We can generally give you a thumbnail sketch
of their past performances and heopfully some insight into their tendencies.
Good luck with your negotiations and if we can provide you with technical assistance
or if you are looking for someone to handle your negotiations, please give us a
call .
