BUSINESS MEETING
2. VISITOR'S AGENDA
• Al Wilkins, 12515 S.W. 128th Avenue, Tigard, Oregon,
testified with regard to Agenda Items 4 and 5. He noted
his concerns over the new schedule of fees which would
inean the Tigard-Tualatin-Sherwood Soccer (TTSS) club
would have to pay for usage of the fields. The example
given in the fee schedule (in the Council packet) was
,over $1,600 per season for TTSS field use. Past practice
was to not charge TTSS. Mr. Wilkins advised that TTSS is
not exclusionary (with respect to participation), which
appeared to be the distinction between being charged for
use of the fields or using the fields for free. As long
as volunteers can be found to accommodate the number of
children desiring to play, then teams are established.
Council President Schwartz advised he would allow
testimony during the Council Agenda Items; he noted
several persons were signed up on the Visitor's Agenda to
speak to this issue.
3. CONSENT AGENDA: Motion by Councilor Fessler, seconded by
Councilor Johnson, to approve the Consent Agenda with an
amendment to Items 3.4 and 3.5 to change the hearing date for
C both street vacation requests from January 19, 1993, to
January 26, 1993:
3.1 Approve Council Minutes: November 10, 17, 1992
3.2 Receive and File: Council Calendar
3.3 Initiate Vacation Proceedings for a Portion of SW Gonzaga
Street - Resolution No. 92-55
3.4 Initiate Vacation Proceedings for the Entire Length of
S.W. Duvall Street - Resolution No. 92-56
The motion passed by a unanimous vote of Council present.
4. CONSIDER ADOPTION OF PARK RESERVATION FEE SCHEDULE -
RESOLUTION NO. 92-57:
a. Community Development Director Murphy summarized the
Staff Report. (Staff Report is on file with the Council
packet material.)
b. Sheldon Scolar, Park Board member, reviewed the Park
Board recommendation on this issue. The Park Board
agreed, although not unanimously, with the
recommendations for changes in the fee schedule.
When it was noted that the fee increases were quite
large, he advised that the Board felt the burden of
support for the parks should be shared by those who used
C CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 8, 1992 - PAGE 2
the fields. Differentiations were made on the basis of
whether an organization was non-profit, Tigard based, or
was exclusive in allowing people to participate.
Later, when being questioned by Council, Mr. Scolar
advised that although selection of sports participants in
the School District is an exclusionary process, that it
was understood that the School District and city did not
charge one another for the use of each others
facilities.
C. Other testimony:
Mr. Al Wilkins (testified also during Visitors
Agenda) said the club is not exclusionary, but
tries to form enough teams so that all who are
interested may participate. He noted the Club is
not a major user of the fields and they do not put
as much wear and tear on the grounds as the School
District. He noted the School District is
selective in which persons are allowed to
participate.
It was noted, and acknowledged by Council President
Schwartz, that these groups do a great deal of work
preparing and taking care of the fields.
® Mr. Wilkins noted the lag time between when the
deposit and payment for the field (i.e., January)
and the formation of the teams and collection of
payment (i.e., June) would make it difficult for
the team because of the timing.
Mr. Wilkins agreed it would be more reasonable to
treat youth groups differently than adult groups
with regard to payment of fees.
Pete Petrillo, Tualatin, President of the TTSS
advised their club was very similar to the Little
League with regard to makeup of membership. He
said treatment of the two groups should be the same
with regard to whether fees should be charged.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Petrillo
advised that the club uses School District fields
as well as City fields. Mr. Petrillo noted his
club had non-profit status.
• Charlene Loucks, Tualatin, advised she represented
Oregon Soccer Development, Inc. Her group allows
100 children to participate; scholarships are
available to individuals. She advised she did not
necessarily object to being charged a fee, but
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 8, 1992 - PAGE 3
questioned the "big jump" in the fee. She, too,
noted the timing of payment of the fee would
Q represent a hardship.
d. Council discussion followed. Mr. Scolar advised that the
Park Board received numerous requests for fee waivers.
The proposal would define more clearly which groups are
eligible for such waivers.
After lengthy discussion, Council consensus was for the
following changes to the Staff's recommendation:
- Charges for field usage and Covered Picnic areas
Non-Tigard based fees would be twice the amount moa t or
fees charged to Tigard-based groups
individuals (i.e, groups under 50 are $6/hr. for
Tigard-based and $12/hr for non-Tigard based)
- No application or rental fees (for playing fields)
will be charged to School District 23J, City-
sponsored activities, and Tigard-based non-profit
o~ uth athletic organizations.
- Payment for field use may be made in installments
as agreed upon by the City Administrator or
designee.
e. Staff revised the language for ihetheoposed gesolution
the
and ordinance. Council, later
following action:

The motion passed by a unanimous vote of Council present.
ORDINANCE NO. 92-33 - AN ORDINANCE TO CLARIFY AND MODIFY
PARK RESERVATION PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS AND DECLARING
AN EMERGENCY.
Motion by Councilor Johnson, seconded by Councilor
Fessler, to adopt Ordinance No. 92-33.
The motion passed by a unanimous vote of Council present.
5. NON-AGENDA ITEMS:
Mr. Bill Martin, representing the Washington County
Haulers Association, made a presentation to Council
outlining the history of Solid Waste services and charges
over the last decade. (Mr. Martin distributed material
PAGE 4
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 8, 1992 -
to the Council; this material is on file with the Council
t packet information.)
The Haulers are aware that Council will be reviewing the
franchise term in the near future and, if the length of
the term is to be reduced, the Haulers would prefer a 7-
year automatically renewable contract (currently 10-
years) as opposed to 5 years.
After brief discussion, council consensus was to set a
public hearing for December 22, 1992, at 5:30 p.m. Staff
proposal will include a change to the term of the
franchise ordinance from 10 years with an automatic
renewal clause, to a 7-year, automatically renewable
contract over the next three years.
Engineering Staff Randy Wooley and Gary Alfson presented
a video-taped review of the 10 Transportation Bond Road
projects recently completed. The projects were completed
within the budget ($9.5 million) and within the timeframe
(3 years). (See material filed with the packet
information listing projects and construction costs.) In
addition, the scale of the projects were constructed as
promised to the voters.
Council complimented the Staff for their effort and
requested that a report to the citizens be made through
the Cityscape. In addition, the Council requested the
same presentation be made on January 12, 1993, which is
the next cablecast meeting.
6. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW/UPDATE
• Update on Community Center Proposal
Council Consideration: Council set January 5,
1993, as the hearing date to determine whether a
bond measure should be placed on the March Ballot.

REGIONAL PROGRAMS AND PLANNING
Two very different program areas dominated October. the November elections and the county
economic development plan. Several campaigns contacted the corporation for information on issues of
importance to Washington County or asked TVEDC for support. The board of directors considered the
ballot measures on gas tax for parks (2), tern limitations (3), gill net fishing (8) and the Metro Greenspaces
program. After deliberations the board decided that state wide issues were not closlinks tto our
time
mission and that the arguments both for and against the passage of the Greenspaces Program
VEDC did hold a
were balanced. The board therefore chose to take no position on these
with However, policy. Tthe corporation
Tualatin Valley Dialogue on the Metro Greenspaces w asked ° anal candidates for endorsements. I did
took no positions on candidates, although by
Participate in a debate on the triple trailer issue (Ballot Measure 4) at the Tualatin Chamber of Commerce
this month. The board acted to oppose the ban at the September meeting and the campaign to defeat the
measure asked me to represent their position at the chamber.
The steering committee and the washington County Economic Development Professionals group
to develop
completed their review of the background materials in late September and this month began
goals for the five year strategic plan. Although the two committees have been working independently on
the project to date, it is interesting to see how closely the thinking is aligned between them. By the end of
October, both groups had completed postdating goals and had developed preliminary strategies to achieve
the goals. In early November the committees will meet in a joint session to review the work, refine the goals
and strategies and set priorities for the completed plan. TVEDC is providing the staff support for this
project. GTE has loaned the project a facilitator, Debbie McCabe, who a an wdensive background
the work on task and has moved strategic planning. Her contribution has helped to keep the committees
product forward significantly.
Washington County Economic Development Plan
Metr_ o Charter
The charter has been the subject of a number of meetings this month- I was asked by the King
city city council, the Forest Grove Chamber of Commerce and two service groups to participate in
programs explaining the charter and its effects on the region. One of these presentations was a debate with
Phelps of AGC who also served on the charter committee. If the charter passes, it will be very
Ray
rtant for TVEDC to develop a broad based constituency among the business leaders in Washington
important
County that will work with the local governments to provide input into the restructuring of the council and
exert influence on the planning Process called for in the charter. Willamette Week did an extensive
interview with TVEDC on the charter as part of their background effort for their editorial position.

Doing Business in Washwgton County Project
I have contracted with Susan Ridge for the research and writing of the 1993-94 edition of this
reference manual. Sue has a strong background in economic development from both the private and public
sector sides. She has recently moved to Oregon from Fairfax County, Virginia where she worked for a
development company. Sue has outlined the new directory and begun the research which will be required
to update the data in the earlier edition. The target date for completion of the research and writing is late
January 1993 with publication scheduled for early February. PGE is sponsoring the project with the
contribution of the production and printing. At the present time, I anticipate publishing a new edition every
two years. In this way, we can update the information coincidentally with the convening of the legislative
assembly.
Metro Region 2040 Studv
Metro has completed the development of three scenarios for a growth management program, a
version of one of them will be selected to guide the region's planning over next 50 years. The scenarios
include 1) continuing the development patterns currently allowed under existing comprehensive plans, 2) a
growth management strategy of holding the urban growth boundary where it is today and directing that
firture growth shall occur within that boundary, or 3) establishing new satellite cities or urban centers
outside the existing boundary to handle part of the firture growth. Since these scenarios define two
extremes and the current trends, it is anticipated that the region will eventually select a combined strategy or
pediaps even another concept that will be developed out of the round of regional meetings being held to get
public reaction to the concepts. Andy CoMpo, the director of Metro's department of land use planning
and Mary Weber, who is working on the 2040 project, conducted a board briefing in October. Because the
long tern consequences of the decisions which will be made when a scenario is adopted, it will be
extremely important for TVEDC to continue to take an active role in this process. At present, we sit on the
Technical Advisory Committee for the project, but I believe the board needs to closely monitor the data as it
is developed and I would recommend a 2040 Focus Group be called together.
Regional Briefings
During October, I presented quarterly briefings to the cities of Forest Grove, Hillsboro and
Sherwood, as well as the board of directors of Thalatin Valley Fire and Rescue. Once again, the briefings
provided an opportunity to address the regional issues in which TVEDC is involved and to address
questions the governing bodies have about the activities of the corporation. Support for TVEDC appears to
continue to be strong among our local government partners. In my opinion, it is this mutual respect and
trust that gives us the ability to effectively provide business leadership on key regional issues. It is one of
the aspects of our programs that I think we should continue to develop and we should protect
PSU President's Advisory Council
The executive committee met this month and continued to wrestle with the issues revolving around
the delivery of higher education to the region in the face of the impacts of the property tax limitation
C implementation. The budget cuts experienced by PSU thus far have hurt moral among both students and
TVEDC presidents Report

faculty and the cuts expected in the 1994/95 biennium are expected to seriously impact programs and class
loads. One of the very real problems that will occur if the university has to continue with serious
restricted finding will be the flight of top f"dculty to the private sector or other states. The quality of the
faculty is crucial to the national academic standing of all institutions of higher learning.
ISSUES MANAGEMENT
D_LCD Urban Growth Management Study
The Urban Growth Management Shady was completed this month and the final recommendations
are scheduled to go to LCDC in early December. Following the adoption of the recommendations by
LCDC, they will be developed into statutory language or administrative rule. It will be critical for TVEDC
to monitor this process closely. Many of the concerns with the regulations that I have highlighted in earlier
reports remain DLCD began this study process last year with an effort to involve as many different citizen
interests, both public and private, as possible. Unfortunately, over the life of the study most of the private
sector interests fen out of the process and by the time the final decisions were being made, to Adeliberadve
s result
body consisted almost entirely of state and local governments employees - primarily planners.
many of the concerns of the private sector about the viability of the recommendations remain. Although
there was an honest attempt by DLCD to address questions raised by the business community, we still have
to deal with the problem that urban planners often believe they hold the correct answers to urban
development issues. My recommendation to the board is to continue the Urban Growth Management
Focus Group through the legislative session It would be best to have at least one board member
participating on that focus group.
Western Bypass
ODOT delivered their final recommendations on the alternatives to move forward into the Draft
Environmental Statement (DEIS) process at meetings of the `s'teering, Technical and Citizens Advisory
Committees this month. ODOT has determined that we should move the No Build, Transit, Arterial
Expansion and Bypass alternatives forward into this next phase of the study. It was also the consensus of
the advisory committees that the LUIRAQ study, a land use alternative, should also be considered. ODOT
and Metro will now spend the next year working on the DEIS and refining the alternatives so ~P final
decision can be made on which strategy or strategies best solve the north/south movement of goods
and services in Washington County. To my knowledge, all of the cities, except Sherwood, have supported
the inchision of the five alternatives in the DEIS project Sherwood's objection is to the inclusion of the
LUTRAQ study. The couincil's position is that by including that approach, the outcome of the DEIS will be
preordained through political pressure. This is a concern that merits attention. It will be essential to expend
some effort in thorough analysis of the LUTRAQ approach and its viability as a soluti on to the noith/south
traffic problems within the 20 year planning horizon
TVEDC's Transportation Committee discussed the LUTRAQ study at length and concluded that
we need a two-pronged approach an analysis of LUTRAQ and a concept paper for a new freeway that
would address the transportation issues while preserving the integrity of the nrral lands that would
C impacted. The committee would like to explore the idea of a special project to develop this concept The
idea would be to hire a nationally known transportation plan who is recognized as a visionary to develop the
concept. We would build the study team from TVEDC members who have the appropriate expertise in
transportation planning, marketing, etc. The objective of this effort would be to create an actual model that
people could support rather than the vague idea we all are rallying to at the present

AND PROGRAMS
The I-5 Forum this month was intended to bring together the two candidates for the US Congress,
Tony Meeker and Ebzabeth Furze, to discuss how each of them see the national government impacting the
local economy. Unfortunately, Mrs. Fume's coign informed us that she was not accepting arty joint
spealang engagements other than those committed to at the beginning of the general election campaign.
Since there are always local impacts from federal legislative decisions, I think it will be important for us to
find another opportunity to get to know her positions on local issues.
The Tualatin Valley Dialogue series began in October with a program on the Metro Greenspaces.
The program itself was excellent with a lively debate between Mike Ragsdale, Richard Devlin, Valerie
Johnson and myself Unfortunately, the tumout for the program was terrible. I am unsure whether that was
due to the time of day, the topic, or the time of year. We are planning to schedule another Dialogue after
the fast of the year.
Planning is going forward for the 1993 renewal campaign. Staff expects to have invoices out in
early November. The Membership/Programs Committee is beginning an aggressive new member campaign
with a goal of adding 6-10 members a month. It is hoped that we will be able to increase our retention rate,
so staff will be spending a great deal of time in early 1993 wodang with our existing membership to be sure
we are on the right track programatically.
Finally, Steve Clams (Tunes Publications/Community Newspapers) has agreed to chair a Focus
Group on TVEDC s work plan for the next five years. Steve has asked to postpone the start up of that
group until after the elections, but I anticipate pulling it together by early December - all things being equal.
INFORMATION SERVICES
Most of our contacts in this program area continue to be from people interested in the health of the
job market. Contacts are now primarily from people within Oregon who are Anticipating layoffs or are
already out of work. We continue to hear primarily from displaced middle management; but that is
probably a function of the business community sector we serve.
ADMINISTRATION
This month TVEDC's administrative efforts have been focused on joint meetings with the Sunset
Corridor Association to review streamlining and maximizing resources. Study teams from each association
are meeting to review work plans and discuss ways to better cover all the bases in economic development
given the constraints of staff and finding. There seems to be a great deal of commonality between the two
organizations and much could be gained by a coordinated effort We will probably have some specific
recommendations by November.

RE: President's Report
August 1992
REGIONAL. PROGRAMS AND PLANNING
August was dominated by the issue of regional government - its size and scope. The Goldschmidt Task
Force on government services consolidation completed the major portion of its work plan this month, the courts
removed the three county, Tri-Met, Metro consolidation proposal off the ballot, and Metro's Region 2040 project
moved forward. From the momentum behind these three proposals, it would appear that the time has come for a
serious regional discussion of the costs versus the benefits of a mega-government in the Portland metropolitan area
Late this spmmg, Governor Barbara Roberts announced that the state would not pass through state revenue
shared money (e.g., cigarette tax, liquor tax) to the cities and counties in the Portland metropolitan area unless there
was a major effort in the region to curtail duplication of services among the local jurisdictions. In June the governor
appointed a special committee, headed by former governor Goldschmidt, to examine local government services and
make a preliminary determination of places where consolidation of services or governments could occur. The
purpose was to determine areas where significant savings would result from consolidation. The final report of the
committee is due out for comment in early September. The governor will then determine which of the proposals on
which she wants to act during the preparation of her budge:. At this point, I am unclear about how much authority
the governor's office has to require change from the local jurisdictions. However, the threat of withholding state
shared revenue will undoubtedly exert a lot of pressure for change on the region.
I attended a meeting of the Washington County city and county managers this month Kevin Smith
(assigned to the services consolidation task force from the governor's stag) briefed the managers on the preliminary
findings of the task force. At that level, there is considerable concern about the fiscal and governmental impacts of
many of the recommendations. There was consensus that in fact the task force and its committees did not have
enough data to make any realistic determination of where cost savings would be realized. Kevin Smith indicated that
the recommendations are really on guesses and it is unknown what the real costs versus benefits will be. Because of
the extremely short time frame for examining the issues and the services, he indicated that the product of the task
force should be viewed with a certain amount of skepticism.
The problem with this entire project's that preliminary findings are being released to the media and the
public. At this time, the media is lauding the committee for its visionary thinking and the findings are being accepted
at face value. This has the unfortunate side effect of making the conclusions valid, even if they are not and forcing
local governments to come in as adversaries in order to try to get any attention diverted to the real impacts of the
decisions that are made by the government or the legislature. An excellent example of the problems with the
findings exists in the recommendation to create one regional roads department The proposal is that every
jurisdiction in the region would turn all of their manpower and equipment over to a quasi-public corporation that
would do the region's road maintenance. However, most jurisdictions in Washington County do not have "road
departments." For instance in the City of Tualatin, they have only one F17E in the road department and they contract
out all of their road maintenance to the private sector. Under the Goldschmidt proposal, Tualatin's road maintenance
would become the job of this new quasi-public corporation. Other cities in Washington County have cross-trained
personnel who work on roads, water and sewer projects, etc. depending upon resources and work load.
I believe that it will be most important for TVEDC to actively monitor the process of implementing any of
the recommendations that come out in the task force's final report As the region moves forward toward
C
TVEDC PRESIDENTS REPORT
August 1992
Page 2
implementation, some critical decisions on regional governance will be made which could drive up the cost of
government over time. In addition, some of the recommendations have the potential to move business out of the
private sector and into the public. Further, I think it is extremely important to require decision making based upon
the best possible empirical data rather thanjust gut feelings.
Washington County Economic Development Plan
Britt Ferguson and I met this month to refine the work plan for this project Following the July meeting of
the steering committee, it became obvious that we needed to go back and review the history of the project in order to
focus the work of both the steering committee and the editorial board. To accomplish this end, we revisited the key
issues defined by the community at the economic development symposium in 1988. The review of those key issues
and the recommendations from Phase I of the study showed that many of the short term tasks have been
accomplished. Of those that have not, the work plan calls for the advisory committees to prioritize the issues and the
actions that are the most important to tackle in the next five years. In early October, the steering committee will meet
in a work session to develop the list of priorities which will then be put into an action plan. Debbie McCabe, an
economic development consultant with GTE Northwest will &cilitate that discussion.
Metro Charter
A new charter for the regional government will be on the ballot in November. As I indicated in my July
report, this document does not contain all of the provisions that I had supported during my tenure on the charter
committee. However, I have recommended support for the charter because of my belief that it contains several
important changes from the status quo that can only improve the regional government and its relationship to the
other governments in the',Portland metropolitan area. The new charter clearly defines the structure and function of
the Metro Council vis a vis the Executive Officer. The council is clearly defined as the policy making body and the
executive is the administrator of the government Unfortunately, in my opinion, the executive officer is still elected
at large from the district This election of an administrator has been used as the grounds for policy making by the
executive officer in the past and to avoid that kind of inappropriate action by the administrator in the future, the
council will have to be vigilant
The new charter does describe clearly the relationship between the regional government and the local
governments, including special districts. Through the creation of the Metropolitan Policy Advisory Committee
(MPAC) and the definition of its fi action in advising the regional government on matters of metropolitan
significance, the charter assures that local governments will be brought in on the front end of the regiondecision
ocal
making process. In the past, Metro has frequently acted first and then, almost as an after thought, approach
governments to determine whether or not they support changes in programs or services. The Metro Greenspaces
program is a good example of where Metro acted first and then went to local governments for their blessing.
Because the program caused a significant impact on local parks and open spaces programs and comprehensive, it
was met with a great deal of resistance. Much of the turmoil caused by the top-down approach could have been
avoided by beginning with a partnership.
TVEDC has joined the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce, the Portland Chamber of Commerce and others
in endorsing the passage of the charter in November. The voters pamphlet will cant' a statement of support that
includes TVEDC as a sponsor.

Washington County Business Consortium
This coalition of representatives from the chambers of commerce in Washington County and Wilsonville
met again for the fast time in several months. The consortium's purpose is to monitor issues in the region that affect
the business climate and to develop consensus wherever possible. The members feel that any success we might have
in shaping public policy with attention to business concerns will probably be enhanced by the combined voice of
large and small businesses in the region. The consortium is particularly monitoring the progress of the Western
Bypass Study and the Metro charter.
One of the issues of particular concern to the members is the lack of analysis, particularly economic impact
work, that would provide a solid base for much of the decision making on government service levels and fees for
services. The consortium does not want business to be the only source of new revenue to fund governmental
programs. Not only does a policy of this kind severely hamper the expansion capability and job creation potential of
the region, but it also leads directly to higher consumer prices and loss of competitive position in the international
marketplace.
Doing Business in Washington County Project
This project is ready to start next month The timeline calls for completion of the research and writing by
the end of December or the first week of January. I am negotiating with a young woman (Susan Ridge) for the
research, writing and analysis portion of the project She is a newcomer to Oregon from Virginia where she has been
involved with projects of this type in the past Her background gives her the precise skills that we need to see the
project through from the beginning to publication. As rve reported before, PGE is ready to do the production work
which is scheduled for January of 1993.
Metro Region 2040 Studv
Metro held a full morning workshop on the progress of the Region 2040 Study, the regional growth
management project Members of the four advisory committees were briefed on the current status of the study and
were involved in a general review and revision of the workplan.
In my opinion, this particular study is very wen designed and has the potential to provide solid direction to
growth management planning in the region. Metro plans to examine three different growth scenarios to determine
the positive and negative aspects of each. The advisory committees appear to be well balanced between most of the
competing interests in the region. Because of the length of time most of us have worked together, there is no
difficulty with getting opinions to the table. The scenarios that will be examined will follow three general concepts:
we do nothing to manage growth, very constrained, controlled growth, and a middle of the road approach To this
point, all of the work done on this project appears to intellectually honest Metro staff and the consultants do not
appear to be working on a particular bias; rather they seem to be most interested in how the scenarios will play out.
Mary Weber (formerly TVEDC staff is one of the staff members attached to this project Based on her background
and the quality of her work, the 2040 Study is in good hands.
C Regional Briefings
During August, I presented quarterly briefings to the cities of Wilsonville and Beaverton. This provided an
opportunity to update both councils on the progress of the Metro charter, as well as general TVEDC activities. In
TVEDC PRESIDENTS REPORT
August 1992
Page 4
addition, State Treasurer Tony meeker called to discuss the general economic climate in Washington County and to
review issues that are currently of importance to TVEDC.
ISSUES MANAGEMENT
DLCD Urban Growth Manaaement Study
This project is very near completion until legislation is drafted or DLCD begins to write any administrative
rules that might be required for the implementation of the concepts. The last piece of the work product for the Infill
and Redevelopment Subcommittee is to deal with the question of whether or not the state should require
comprehensive plans to set forth minimum densities for residential development At the moment, there is
considerable disagreement on this issue. It does not appear that it will be resolved before the end of next month.
Home Builders has some real reservations about the issue, but did not appear to have a consensus among the
members they had contacted. I expressed TVEDC's concerns with some of the issues revolving around the issue in a
memo to John Kelly (DLCD staff which I will be happy to share with any members who are interested.
In addressing the study recommendations generally, TVEDC's Focus Group is very concerned about the
move toward centrally controlled planning. It appears that someone somewhere has decided that the current land
use planning system is not working and has to be fixed. LCDC did an extensive study of several areas of the state to
assess how the land use planning system is being applied on the ground. The conclusions of that early work is that
there are problems that need to be addressed to maxirmze the development potential within the urban growth
boundaries. However, as near as I can ascertain, no one has examined the current growth patterns in light of
economic trends from the late 1970s forward. In trying to decide whether or not the current planning process is
actually effective, I believe you have to go back over time to judge early planning assumptions against the actual built
environment It would seem logical that the severe economic downturn experienced in Oregon from about 1980-
1986 would have a significant on how the assumptions that were made during the boom of the late 1970s played out
Western Bypass
The ODOT advisory committees met during the month for anupdate on the progress of the study and to be
brought up to date on the status of the 1000 Friends of Oregon Land Use, Transportation, Air Quality (LUTRAQ)
study which is nearing completion Keith Bartholomew of 1000 Friends gave a briefing on both the land use
components and the market study which is in draft form. It appears that there are two important areas of the
LUTRAQ study that need further w amination. The study concentrates on changing land use designations in the
Western Bypass study area to a pattern that provides high density, mixed use development along transit corridors,
especially along the light rail corridor to Hillsboro. However, land use designations along major bus routes are also
proposed to be changed throughout the area to maxis t the use of transit in general. The problem that I raised is
that several of these new transit oriented developments appear to be proposed for land that is currently under serious
consideration for preservation as park, open space or natural areas under Metro's Greenspaces program. I asked
Michal Wert (ODOT) and Keith Bartholomew whether the geenspaces had been factored out of the buildable lands
inventory for purposes of the LUTRAQ study. Although neither of them is sure, they do not believe that has
C occurred. The second problem that I see with the study is the market analysis. As I understand it, because of the
built-up nature of the land in the bypass study area, the recommended size for developing these transit oriented
developments is approximately 15 acres. However, the market analysis to determine whether demand will support
the concept, especially at the level of development that is needed, has been done on 100 acre development sites. This
would seem to me to be skewing the results. I agree that some level of transit oriented development is necessary and
C

will occur with or without specific policy directive, but I am not convinced that we will have enough people in the
market for this type of development to justify massive changes in land use designations and postponing the
construction of a bypass. The purpose of the LUTRAQ study is to forestall that highway project.
Governor's Task Force on Motor Vehicle Emissions
The TVEDC Focus Group has begun to meet and review the issues and strategies that have surfaced from
the work of the task force to date. There is general concern among the focus group members that we may be trying
to put out a match with a fire hose. The Portland metropolitan area is in the "marginal" attainment class and is
expected to achieve attainment by 1995. Many of the strategies that are under consideration by the task force seem
to be punitive in nature and particularly directed at the suburban cities and counties. For a further analysis of the
issues raised by the focus group, meeting summaries of their discussions are available in the files.
MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAMS
Most of our work this month has been focused on the 1992 Summer Gala which will take place at
Montinore Vineyards September 11th. The success of this event will be dependent on ticket sales. The location is
- very exciting and 5 Tualatin Valley vineyards have agreed to frunish wine. One problem with the Gala that seems to
be getting worse each year is the interest in the event by the restaurants. I met with Dave Clark from Simple Elegant
Caterers this month to discuss strategies for getting the strong participation we had in the early years. Dave has
indicated that he would like to be very heavily involved in the planning for next year - especially the menu and
caterer selection process.
Intel Corp. and board member Dick Johnson hosted a Business Briefing Breakfast at the Hawthorn Farms
plant this month. Dr. Judith Ramaley (PSU), State Senator Jeannette Hamby and Mayor Shirley Huffman all
presented current perspectives on programs within their respective areas of expertise. We had a fairly respectable
turnout for the event and people seemed to be very pleased to have the opportunity to meet with our dignitaries.
The I-5 Breakfast Forum was sponsored by Meridian Park Hospital and board member Jane Cummins. Dr.
John Kitzhaber, President of the Oregon Senate and author of the Oregon Healthcare Plan, was scheduled to speak,
but had a conflict which prevented his being there. He sent his legislative aide Mark Gibson who did a very
professional job of reviewing the plan and updating everyone on the recent actions of the US government in rejecting
the plan We had a turnout of approximately 125 people at the event and have heard many good comments since
then.
INFOILMATION SERVICES
This has been a very busy month for our information services program, at least in comparison to the last
several months. Once again, however, most of the inquiries have come from people who are investigating the job
market. We have be4'n asked to supply market information, demographics on the Tigard area for a site selector,
C" information on development opportunities in the Hillsboro area (referred to Sunset Corridor Assoc.), Washington
County demographics and market information for a new business located in Beaverton, and information on the
issues affecting the Tualatin Valley that have statewide ramifications (requested by GTE).
TVEDC PRESIDENTS REPORT
August 1992
Page 6
It appears that interest in the Tualatin Valley remains fairly high among small to mid-sized businesses in
California. Another trend appears to be the relocation to the area of displaced middle management people who are
hopeful of finding jobs comparable to those they have left. These inquiries are split almost 50-50 between people
from California and from the east coast.

PHASE N TRIP TO POLAND AND HUNGARY
Phase IV, the second visit to Poland and Hungary, took place during July. Mice Sisavic appointed
me team leader for the local government delegation. Based upon the contacts the officials from Wroclaw
and Pecs made during their visit in May, I selected Commissioner Bonnie Hays, State Representative Delm
Jones, County Administrator Charles Cameron and PSU Professor Tom Potiowsky (Chaianan ofthe
Department of Economics) to make up the team. Each of these people had shown a great deal of interest in
establishing ties with the eastern European cities and in finding commonalities between the respective
economies. During Phase III they had all indicated that they believed there was tremendous potential to
establish business linkages between the two cities and Washington County businesses.
With the exception of Bonnie Hays whose mother was gravely a the team assembled ire Berlin
and traveled on to Wroclaw, Poland for a week of meetings. Zbigniew Hallasz, Director of the Department
of Economic Development for Lower Silesia, provided a briefing on the economic development problems
and needs within the region He arranged a background tour of the city which highlighted some of the
infiastruchrre problems the region is facing. Other meetings during the week included appointments with
the Polish Chamber of Foreign Trade to discuss opportunities for increasing exports and imports between
the region and the US; the Lower Silesian Chamber of Commerce, a new organization based on the TVEDC
model which needs assistance with process; the Polish American Enterprise Fund to discuss ways in which
working capital can be made available for projects and joint ventures, and the vice mayor of the city and
members of his staff to identify local government needs for American expertise and assess the level of
cooperation between the regional government, the local government and the business community. The trip
aslso included a visit to Lubiaz, a 13th century monastry which is one of 600 castles, manor houses and
religious buildings that belong to the regional government and which they need to sell. At the request of
the Cuprum Bank we met with a representative to provide advice to one of their clients who is looking for
joint venture opportunities in the food processing industry. A clothing manufacturer, Intermoda SA, is
looking for a chance to broaden its US market In addition to these meetings, we met several times with
Zbigniew and members of his staff to further define ways in which we might provide assistance to his city
and the businesses there. Areas of mutuial interest include: forestry, wood products, food processing,
housing construction including affordable housing, infrast ucture construction, telecommunications, and
environmental cleanup.
Bonnie Hays joined the delegation during the second week of the trip which was spent in Pecs,
Hungary. Antonio DeBlasio, a member of the Pecs city council was our hott. Our meetings in Pecs were
exclusively with local government officials. Antonio arranged an extensive tour of the city to demonstrate
the problems they are experiencing with infrastructure, particulary roads and housing They are looking for
expertise in building affordable housing, renovation and reconstruction and financing. Many of the high
density apartment units were built by the Soviets and East Germans and the quality of constriction is very
poor. On the other hand, this city has done a great deal to begin to position itself as a tourist destination
The major problem they face is that geographically, they are somewhat remote from many of the more
frequented Eastern European cities. It takes the better part of a day to get there from Prague, Vienna or
Budapest The city does have a lot of potential for tourism. There are Roman and Turkish ruins within the
city, there are a number of creative new entertainment fi ilities including a restored opera house, a charming
old town, museums and a small aquarium/t=dum built in some of the old tunnels under the city.
Meetings with local elected officials demonstrated many of the same problems in Hungary that were
pointed out in Poland. They can use US expertise and technology in food processing and construction.
They need the same kind of training for designing processes and decision making. Many of the major
industries are still in govemment ownership and need to be privatized; this will require extensive assistance
from partners in the western world.

CONCLUSIONS
In this first analysis of the trip, I would say that there are a number of opportunities for Oregon
businesses to move into the eastern European markets. Poland and Hungary offer the advantage of
ethnically stable populations and do not appear to be subject to the divisiveness that has plagued
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia Because the democratization of these two countries is still relatively new,
it is likely that there wall be continued instability in the central governments for several years, but this does
not seem to have as strong an impact on the local governments as it might in other countries. Both of the
regions we visited seem to be very interested in establishing economic ties with the US. Surrprisirugly, they
do not seem to feel that US dollars are the critical issue. Rather, there is more interest in US technology and
training. The interest level in leami ng how we think through problems and make decisions is very high. It is
quite evident that the government leaders in both countries want to find ways to take advantage of our
intellectual capital to train managers there. I strongly recommend that we continue to develop ties to these
two regions and the business and government contacts we have made there. It might be possible for
TVEDC to provide the means to establish businesses and the governments ties that would greatly benefit
some of our member companies.
REGIONAL PROGRAMS AND PLANNING
Metro Charter - This month concluded the Charter Committee's work on the Metro Charter. As you know,
I resigned from the committee because of the timing of the tap back to Europe. However, I did attend the
last two meetings of the committee and was in the audience for the final vote. Despite some changes in the
charter from the draft I had last reviewed, I would have voted for the final product It does clearly establish
the roles of local and regional government It provides METRO with the authority to take the leadership on
regional planning, but it clearly sets up the partnership between the regional government and the cities and
counties that is needed in setting policy. The current structure of the government is retained, but the council
size has been reduced to 7 from 13 and the administration of the government has been more distinctly
separated from the policy making authority.
Doing Business in Washington County Project - I have received a letter for PGE indicating that they are
very pleased to join TVEDC in producing the new publication. They have agreed to do all of dire design
and production work We will begin the research and writing portion of the project in September. The new
publication is scheduled for publication at the end of January 1993. I anticipate having a volunteer or an
intem do the research for the project
IidFORIMATION SERVICES
We received several calls from people interested in information on the employment outlook in
Washington County this month. In addition, we responded to two requests for general demographic
information from firms that were helping clients with site selections. We also supplied information to a
California based site selector who's client is interested in the Tigard area for a new plan.
ADMINISTRATION
While I was in Europe, Carla Barron (former Executive Director of the I-5 Corridor Association)
contacted Colleen about her final paycheck This check was issued to her in late 1990 and has not been
cashed Colleen consulted with Pat Ritz and David Bennett about procedure. Both of the advised her to tell

Carla the check would be reissued, but that we would wait until my return to the oT=. Carla indicated that
there would not be a problem with that.

REGIONAL PROGRAMS AND PLANNING
Three major projects were the primary activities in this program during June: the SEEBA Poland/Hungary
program, the Washington County Economic Development Plan and the METRO Charter. In addition, the Wilsonville
Chamber of Commerce invited me to participate in an event hosting a Russian business/govemment delegation that
visited during the Rose Festival.
I met with Bill Wyatt (Oregon Business Council), Bill Supak (Associated General Contractors) and Carla
Forsythe (Home Builders of Metropolitan Portland) this month. At each of these meetings, we exchanged information
about our respective association's programs and explored ways in which we could interact to the benefit of our respective
members.
The 1991/1992 season for the Washington County Public Affairs Forum came to an end this month and with
that I completed my term as President of the Forum;I will remain on the board for one year as Immediate Past President.
The 25+ year old Forum was in jeopardy of disbanding last year, but membership has increased and it now looks like it
will continue as a strong regional public affairs program.
Both the PSU Presidents Advisory Council and the Greater Portland Trust in Higher Education met this month
High on the agendas for both boards are the impacts of Ballot Measure 5 on higher education programs. The Trust is
working on a regional research library program that should increase access to the college and university libraries for the
business community.
Washington County Economic Development Plan
We have begun the drafting process for a five-year economic development strategic plan which is intended to
provide a blueprint for the economic.development practioners within the county, following its endorsement by the
county and local governments. The process has been redesigned to produce an action plan which will address issues
identified during the Phase I analysis conducted from 1988 to 1990. The Washington County Economic Development
Professionals Group is acting as the editorial advisory board. As the group ofpractioners most likely to carry out the
recommendations of the steering committee, it is important that they be actively involved in drafting the plan. Britt
Ferguson (Washington County) and I met to work out a project agenda and to plan a presentation for the reconstituted
Steering Committee. An overview of the history of the project, a review of the purpose of the plan, and agreement on a
timeline were the primary objectives of that presentation
METRO Charter Committee
Work on the METRO Charter moved into the final phases this month with a draft charter completed and sent
out for public review and comment Major elements of this draft include: a restructuring of the cuaent council with a
presiding officer elected at large, a hired regional administrator, a Metropolitan Policy Advisory Committee comprised of
local government and special district representatives, as well as citizen representation. In addition, the t vdng authority for
the regional government was increased, but a spending limit was imposed. The Charter Committee held public hearings
around the region to get finalzinput before completing the charter and referring it to the ballot The day of the final public
hearing Charter Committee r>,zmbers learned that Rena Cusma, METRO Executive Officer, would hold a press
conference the following morning to announce a METRO referendum calling for a regional "advisory" vote on the
question of whether or not the region should combine Washington, Clackamas and Multnomah Counties, METRO and
Tri-Met into one agency. This action was being takers un7atez-Ay by the regional government and bared on the testimony
TVEDC PRESIDENTS REPORT
June 1992
Page 2
of Jim Gardner, METRO presiding officer, it was apparently done without the prior approval or knowledge of most of
the METRO Council. This action is an apparent attempt to undeimme the charter and appeared to be taken because
METRO is unhappy with the work of the Charter Committee. If the referendum is successful, it will in essence mean
that the members of the Charter Committee have wasted 14 months of time and effort working to achieve some regional
consensus. My recommendation to TVEDC would be to campaign actively against the referendum.
As you know, when the charter process began I was asked to represent the Washington County cities on the
committee. However, because of the length of time I would be gone in July (SEEBA project), the sties asked that I
resign from the committee. This was not anyone's preferred action, but the cities needed a vote on time committee during
the final rewrite of the charter. I certainly agreed that was crucial, but it was difficult to hand time position over to
someone else after I had invested so much time and effort
SEEBA Polandfflun arm! Proiect
Mdse Sisavic (SEEBA project director) asled me to head the Local Govemment/Economic Development Team
for the final portion of the project The team members chosen to accompany me on the July trip to Eastern Europe are:
Delna Jones - State Representative
Bonnie Hays - Chair, Washington County Commission
Charles Cameron - Washington County Administrator
Dr. Tom Potiowsky - Chair, PSU Department of Economics.
The goal of this phase of the project will be to identify areas of interest in common between our host governments and
Oregon businesses and governments. We will provide technical advice on publiclprivate partnerships and investigate
areas in which Washington County business expertise might be translated into project oversight or technical and
managerial analysis in either Poland or Hungary. Our hosts in the two countries are arranging a series of meetings with
local government and business leaders to further these goals.
METRO Resdon 2040 Study
The Regional Technical Advisory Committee for this project met to review the proposed scope of work and
recommend any changes to the project design. The METRO project team intends to develop at least three possible
scenarios to describe how the Portland metropolitan area might grow over the next 50 years. The different scenarios will
be developed based on the implementation of specific growth management theories and practices. When the scenarios
are completed, the region will be asked to decide which of the scenarios most closely identifies the kind of metropolitan
community we want to encourage through land use and transportation planning. This project is the second phase of the
regional planning effort that started with the Regional Urban Growth Goals and Objectives (RUGGOs), adopted by
METRO last year.
Doing Business in Washington County Proiect
I delivered a proposal to PGE (Deane Funk) this month for the Doing Business in Washington County project
'This proposal is a variation of the one we presented to the Washington County Visitors' Association earlier this year.
Deane's reception of the idea was positive. He indicated that this is precisely the land of project for which PGE is
looking. The terms we discussed split the work plan into two parts: a) the research and writing and b) the production.
We agreed that PGE staff would do an analysis of the project and let me know whether or not they could assist us with
the production. We will try to get an intern from Portland State University to do the research and writing. We should get
a response to the proposal by the time I return from Eastern Europe.

ISSUES MANAGEMENT
DLCD Urban Growth Management Study
TVEDC's Focus Group on the Urban Growth Management Study met this month to review the draft
recommendations. John Kelly, DLCD's project manager, briefed the focus group members on the history of the project
and engaged them in a two hour dialog about some of the issues central to the planning effort. The current LCDClDLCD
schedule calls for final recommendations to go to the Commission in September for adoption or revision.
There are several recommendations that TVEDC believes are flawed The recomi endations deal primarily with
strategies that can be put into administrative rule or land use law to address the issues of urban density, i i ll and
redevelopment One of the most troubling proposals is the the Public Investment Area which will direct local, regional
and state government infrastructure fiuiding into specially designated areas within the urban growth boundary . Dick
Porn has expressed the belief that we will have an urban growth boundary or boundaries within the current UGB.
Another very troubling aspect of the proposals is the movement toward centralization of all land use planning. The
members of the TVEDC focus group explained their belief that the data to support this kind of change in Oregon's land
use planning has not been developed to their satisfaction. The proposals move planning decisions in this region away
from local control into the arena of regional or state decision making.
Western Bypass
The Bypass study is continuing forward with the indepth analysis of the four major alternatives currently under
consideration. While the study is in this analysis phase, there is not much to report. ODOT held a series of open houses
this month to get public reaction to the alternatives being considered as solutions to the traffic problems in eastern
Washington County. We issued a TVEDC Alert to let our members know that their participation at this juncture of the
study is very important When ODOT developes the environmental impact study report, the level of public participation
demonstrated will be an important component Some of the policy decisions will be based on the strength of support or
opposition for the project Betty Atteberry (Sunset Corridor Association) and I continued to meet to coordinated
strategies for the upcoming METRO Joint Policy Alternatives Committee-Transportation (JPACT) and Council meetings
where the issues of dropping the light rail line down Barbur Blvd. and the furthest west alternative for the bypass will be
considered. It is important for the study timeline that both of these options be dropped from this study.
Oregon Transportation Policy Plan - Draft
The Oregon Transportation Commission is getting near the end of its work on the Oregon Transportation Policy
Plan. TVEDC's Focus Group on the OTP met with Dave Bishop (ODOT project manager) this month to review the plan
elements, goals and objectives. We do not quarrel with the goals of the project which will developed a coordinated long
range plan for a statewide multimodal transportation system in Oregon. Our major concern with the project to date is the
tendency of the plan toward unrealistic goals for reducing reliance on the automobile, the bias against the auto that
appears in the text, and the apparent pandering to special interests. 'Ihe difficulty that this approach presents is that we
will be developing public policy that will direct funding priorities for the next 20 to 50 years into projects that might very
well worsen the congestion problems that exist in the region. We have supported a balanced transportation system that is
based on realistic expectations and have opposed using the statewide transportation plan for a social engineering agenda.
Governor's Task Force on Air Oualrtv in the Portland Area
We have just organized a TVEDC focus group to follow this issues. TVEDC board member Dehia Jones serves
on the governor's task force and she will be keeping the members up to date on the issues that are addressed in this DEQ
planning effort Certainly, this is one area of statewide planning that has the potential to place additional costs through

INFORMATION SERVICES
Information requests continue to lag significantly behind this time last year. It would appear from the general
economic news that Oregon is experiencing some of the same slowness in the economy that the nest of the nation has felt
this year. Even with that, conversations with some of our members, PDC and OEDD indicate that general inquiries are
still corning into the state at a healthy rate. We did answer a request for information on major county employers from
Washington County staff on behalf of Commissioner Linda Peters, attempted to assist the Business Youth Exchange
with their student out placement program and provided some information to METRO in aid of their Northwest Area
Foundation economic development grant application I attended an educational seminar on using the 1990 US census
data put on by the Bureau of the Census this month. The data is just being released and I was able to get some of the
Oregon data that we use routinely as part of this program.
Staff at the City of Tualatin contacted TVEDC looking for ideas on marketing a postcard promoting the city and
spotlighting the new mastodon exhibit- The new executive director of the Sunnyside 205 Corridor Association contacted
TVEDC for information on how we do business and a description of we established our niche in the economic
development field.
ADVOCACY
The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) held public hearings on the 6-Year Transportation Improvement
plan (formerly the Highway ghway Improvement Plan) this month We presented both written and oral testimony speaking
specifically to the Wilsonville & Stafford Road projects in Wilsonville, the Forest Grove Bypass, the Western Bypass and
the I-5/217 Interchange projects. The City of Wilsonville, Wlsonville Chamber of Commerce: an Mentor
The csa all
requested our assistance on the Wilsonville and Stafford Road projects. At issue was the question
draft of the 6-year plan pushes construction of the projects back a year and there is a safety problem with queuing on I-5
now during the rush hours. There is local match money available now for these projects and they need to be kept on
schedule. The same issue pertains to the Forest Grove Bypass improvement
MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAMS
The I-5 Breakfast Fonirn this month moved into the statewide political arena with the topic "The }Party System:
Will It Really Work?" The state chairmen for the two major political parties and the chairman of the Perot for President
campaign were asked to address the 1992 presidential election dynamic.
Planning for the 1992 Summer Gala continues to move forward. The Gala will be held at Montinore vineyards
and will be cosponsored by the Washington County Winery Association. This joint venture should give us a hook for
attracting additional media attention and should benefit both organizations. The date has been set for the week following
Labor Day which will probably be during harvest and the crush.
Intel has offered to host the August Business Briefing Breakfast. Senator Jeannette Hamby, Mayor Shirley

ADMINISTRATION
We are continuing to work on the final renewals for the year, 1993 dues billings will go out in mid-October, so it
is important to catch the remaining 1992 renewals as quickly as possible. There are still a number of renewals that are
long time members of the corporation which should be received in the next two months. I have been trying to contact
many of our members to invite their participation on the various focus groups we have convened. There are also some
very good prospective members that have been invited to meet with these groups so they can learn more about TVEDC.
We bad some media contacts this month. Ofmost importance were the contacts for stories on the METRO
charter and the Western Bypass.
The final work on the 1992/92 TVEDC budget is in process. We anticipate having it before the board for
approval at the July meeting. In addition, Colleen will be putting the accounts together for John MacDonald so we can
file our federal tax returns as soon as possible following the close of the fiscal year.

BUSINESS ADVOCACY GROUP OPPOSE BALLOT MEASURES
- STRESSES ADVERSE IMPACTS ON OREGON'S ECONOMY -
The board of directors for the Tualatin Valley Economic
Development Corporation (TVEDC) opposes Ballot Measures 4, 5, 6,
7 and 9 on the November 3rd ballot. Citing concerns about
negative impacts on Oregon's economy, the board has unanimously
adopted resolutions that urge a no vote on the ban on triple
trailers, the immediate closure of the Trojan Nuclear Plant, the
split-role tax, and the constitutional amendment to legalize
discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"Ore
gon
is facing
tremendous challenges
over the next five
years.
Our
economy
is reasonably flat
and anything that
increases
the
costs of
producing goods and
services or sends a
negative message about our business priorities to the rest of the
nation can only cause further job growth to remain flat or to
slow," said TVEDC board chairman H. Pat Ritz, president of Oregon
Title Insurance Company. Ritz continued, "Every one of these
ballot measures has serious economic impacts and if they are
- more -
C
TVEDC - BALLOT MEASURES 4,5,6,7 & 9

approved by the voters in November our task of keeping Oregon
competitive in the national and international marketplace will be
just that much harder."
"Each of the ballet measures raises different concerns for
TVEDC," says president Mary L. Tobias. "For us the most
important issue in the triple trailer ban is the increased threat
to air quality from additional trucks on Oregon's highways, while
the issue with the split-role tax is the continued dependence
upon property tax for school funding and the excessisve cost to
those businesses that rent or own multiple business location real
estate.
With the Trojan closure issue, we are especially-concerned
about the increased cost of electrical energy and the supply of
replacement power.
Our opposition to Ballot Measure 9 centers around placing
any language in the constitution of this state that condones
discrimination and bigotry. That would be the strongest anti-
business message Oregonians could possibly send the rest of the
world," Tobias concluded.

REGION NEEDS THE METRO CHARTER
The board of directors for the Tualatin Valley Economic
t
Development Corporation (TVEDC) has passed a resolution
supporting adoption of the proposed home rule charter for the
Metropolitan Service District (Metro). -Currently authority :and
final -control of the regional government rests with the state
legislature, not the voters of the region. The charter grants
home rule authority to Metro and thus gives control over the
scope of the government's services to the people being charged
fees or taxes for those services.
"The structure and governance of the region is particularly
important today because of the impacts regional planning
decisions are having on the costs of doing business," says H. Pat
Ritz, TVEDC chairman of the board and president of Oregon Title
Insurance Company. "Metro facilitates the regional dialogue on
long range planning through the Region 2040 project. Many of the
decisions that result from that planning process will affect the
cost of land, water and transportation. Every time the costs of
- more -

these services go up, business owners have to reassess their
ability to continue to provide the products or services they
contribute to the economy.
"It makes sense to have the final authority for this
government rest right here, with the people who pay the taxes and
fees to support it," Ritz continues.
The charter clearly defines the relationship of the regional
government to the local governments and special service districts
within Metro's boundaries. With the creation of the Metropolitan
Policy Advisory Committee, an official channel for raising
service provision issues to the regional level will be
instituted. The MPAC fills a void which has been long been the
source of confusion, and unnecessary power struggles. TVEDC
feels that the sooner this relationship is clarified and
codified, the better chance tax payers will have to benefit from
efficiencies and cost savings while improving service provision.
Further, the charter clarifies the roles of the Metro
Council and the Executive Officer. "The charter clearly sets the
role of the council as the policy making body for the region and
defines the executive officer as the administrator," says Mary
Tobias, TVEDC president. "One of the major problems we see in
the existing structure is that the this distinction is often
more -
TVEDC - METRO CHARTER

blurred. This blurring leads to questions of who's in charge and
encourages political gamesmanship both inside and outside the
agency."
Tobias concludes, "There is no perfect government and this
charter has both up- and downside provisions. However, in the
long run, we believe the region will be well served with its
adoption."
TVEDC urges voters to remember that a yes vote moves control
of the government out of Salem and into the region. A no vote
retains the status quo.

RE: Vacation of Duvall Street
Dear Randy:
This letter is a formal request to vacate Duvall Street for its entire length, west of 72nd Avenue.
As you know, CUB Foods (through SuperValu Stores) has purchased all of the Duvall Street
properties. We have now completed moving or demolishing all the homes along Duvall Street and
72nd Avenue. We have also been working with Washington County to consolidate the many tax
lots on our total property, including all of the Duvall Street properties. That consolidation has dust
now been completed.
We would now like to begin the vacation process for Duvall Street. As I mentioned yesterday, we
expect to submit our development plans for the property within the next 30-45 days and would like
to have the vacation process underway.
Enclosed are the new tax maps from the county and a check for $300 which I understand is the
vacation fee.
Please let me know if there is any additional information you n 7 to proceed with this request.
Sincerely,
Gordon E. Davis,
SuperValu Stores

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
AGENDA OF: December 8. 1992 DATE SUBMITTED: November 18. 19982
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Park reservation PREVIOUS ACTION: Last fee revision
fee schedule. January, 11988. Park Board review 11/92
INI, PREPARED BY: Elizabeth L. Hadley
DEPT HEAD O CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY: Ed Murphy
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
1. Should all users of reserved park facilities pay a fee, including Tigard
based non-profit organizations, but excluding School District 23J, Tigard
Soccer Association and Tigard Little League for playing fields only?
2. Should park users from out of the Tigard area pay a higher fee for
reservations than Tigard based users?
3. Should the park reservation fee be split into two sections, a rental fee
and an application fee? Should the rental fee be based on an hourly rental
rate instead of a flat fee for a four hour block of time?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council adopt the resolution to change the fee
structure and fee rates for park reservations.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
In 1991, a review of park reservation fees was undertaken in response to
concerns about fairness and consistency and included a comparison of other
jurisdictions, fee schedules.
Under the proposed fee schedule, School District 23J, Tigard Little
League and Tigard Soccer Assoc. would not be charged a fee for reserving a
field, which is consistent with current practices. However, all others who
wished to reserve a park facility would be charged a fee. Most impacted would
be Tigard-based non-profit organizations who may have received a "fee-waiver"
in the past, out-of-city users who would pay higher fees than Tigard area
users, and youth recreation programs who practice exclusion and selectivity
of their participants such as Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood United Soccer Clubs.
In addition, the fee schedule would be changed to an hourly schedule,
instead of a "four hour block of time" schedule, and a small application fee
would be charged.
The Park Board recommends these changes in the fee schedule and field
users most impacted by the changes have been notified and had an opportunity
to address the Park Board.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the fee schedule resolution as written.
2. Return the fee schedule to the Park Board with recommendations for
further study.
3. Take no action.
FISCAL NOTES
Park reservation fees currently bring in approximately $8,500 to the general
fund. It is expected that the fee schedule changes will increase that income
to approximately $14,000 annually if the field users continue to schedule
C Fields at the same rate as when they were available for free. sun.res, e.nadiey, 11/92

E
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly
FROM: Ed Murph
DATE: November 3 1992
SUBJECT: Park Code Revisions and Fee Schedule Update
OVERVIEW
In 1991, staff began a review of the policies and procedures governing exclusive
use park reservations. Concerns had been raised because citizens seemed to be
dissatisfied with the park reservation system, Cook Park was seeing a tremendous
increase in usage, while a new park facility (Summerlake Park) was due to open for the
1992-93 season. In addition, it had been six years since city code had been reviewed
and five years since the fee schedule had been updated. From these concerns, come
recommendations for code changes and fee adjustments.
POLICY ASSUMPTIONS
Following a park users satisfaction survey, a comparison study of other
jurisdictions' park scheduling policies and procedures, and a review of fees, a number of
changes to the city code and park reservation fee schedule are being proposed. These
changes are based on the following assumptions:
• That the cost of maintaining parks is ongoing and that the user who is
taking advantage of exclusive use reservations for the park should help to
pay for the costs of the facility through users fees.
• That park users from out of the Tigard area who do not pay property taxes
or park levy charges should pay more than those who live within the area.
• That Tigard based non-profit organizations should pay only a minimal fee
in recognition of their service to Tigard area residents.
• That youth recreation programs, where all who attend may participate, and
are managed by School District 23J, Tigard Little League and Tigard Soccer
Association, should not be required to pay a fee for field use because they
are providing community services usually provided by a local jurisdiction.
Youth (and adult) athletic organizations who practice participant exclusion
based on ability should be required to pay a users fee.
The proposed code changes reflect housekeeping needs and provides clarification

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 5
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
AGENDA OF: December 8 1992 DATE SUBMITTED: November 18. 1992
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Park Code PREVIOUS ACTION: Last code revision
Revision May, 1986 Park Board review 11/92
A.e 11441 PREPARED BY: Elizabeth L. Hadley
DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADi$IN OE REQUESTED BY: Ed Murlhv
1. Should the Council prioritize par reservations so that City sponsored
activities *,would be the first to reserve park space and the Tigard Field
Users Committee members second. All other park users would then schedule
reservations on a first come first serve basis year around.
2. The remainder of the code changes reflect housekeeping and clarification
needs and supports the attached resolution which sets fees.
N~ M STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that park reservations be taken in priority order to insure
that City sponsored programs are guaranteed reserved park space. Members,of
the Tigard Field Users Committee, the second priority for reservations, have
an extended playing season and need to be able to count on access to the
fields. All other users would reserve on a first come, first serve basis as
a means of providing impartial access. In addition, it is recommended that
the remainder of the code revisions be approved in order to clarify the
rights and responsibilities of park users and_the_City. INFORMATION SUMMARY
In 1991, staff began a review of the policies and procedures governing
exclusive use park reservations. Concerns had been raised because citizens
seemed to be dissatisfied with the park reservation system, Cook Park was
seeing a tremendous increase in usage, and a new park facility (Summerlake)
was due to open for the 1992-93 season. In addition, it had been uix years
since city code was last reviewed and updated. Following an informal park
users satisfaction survey and a comparison study of other jurisdictions, park
scheduling policies and procedures, a number of changes to the Tigard city
code was drafted and is presented here.
The Park and Recreation Board recommends these changes and field users most
impacted by the changes have been notified and had an opportunity to address
the Park Board.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the code change ordinance as written.
2. Return the code changes to the Park Board with recommendations for
further study.
3. Take no action.
FISCAL NOTES
No fiscal impact.

TRANSFER
These Oregonians say they save money with a low-cost,
"do-it yourseff" dump station that
serves 6 yard packer trucks.
No building. No loader. No ramps. No Federal
Excise Tax (FET).
No, this transfer concept, involving the use of
satellite collection vehicles, requires none of
those investments. Yet executives at Miller's
Sanitary Service (Beaverton, Ore.) say their unique "do-it-
%-ourself mobile transfer system yields the same benefits
as a larger conventional big-packer-to-big-transfer-station
operation!
Miller's collects refuse from its residential customers in
small, maneuverable 6-yard packers, which, when full,
dump their contents into compactor-equipped containers.
When the containers (located in a convenient, central loca-
tion) are full, they are hauled to a landfill by conventional
roll-off tractors.
A concentration of accounts near the company office led
.Ailler's to locate the mobile transfer operation in its main
yard. However, if the company's service area becomes ex-
tended, the off-loading point could easily be moved one or
more times each day to various convenient locations.
Purchase or lease of a satellite commercial lot might
even be practical, claims Tom Miller, company president.
So would renting space at a service station, or a corner of a
cooperating customer's property - any community-com-
patible area where small refuse vehicles and over-the-road
Tractors would have room to back up to the parked, com-
pactor-equipped containers.
Miller's collection vehicles average two loads per day in winter,
three loads per day in summer. That's an average of 250 stops
per one-person crew.
Downsized packers offer savings
Miller's mobile transfer system consists of four Peerless
6-yard PRT-6 packers on Isuzu chassis. two Peerless PTS-
24 portable transfer stations and three tandem-axle tractors

(two 285 hp Volvos and one 290 hp International), with
Superior, Cascade, and Peerless-Magnum roll-off
attachments.
With their six-wheel, single-rear-axle 1 1,250-pound
tilicab chassis, the small packers have no problem meeting
the strictest truck weight laws currently in force or pro-
posed. They're easy to operate - so should forecasts of
heavy truck personnel shortages come true (see article in
June Waste Age), driver recruiting would be no great
problem.
Of course, the smaller vehicles cost less to purchase and
operate. There's an easily computable savings taken right
off the top: The smaller vehicles are not subject to the FET
of 12% upon purchase, as are the heavier large-sized packer
trucks.
the company.
Today, Miller's 20 trucks and 22 employees serve 8,500
residential and 450 commercial customers. Most of the com-
pany's residential collections are in Tigard, Beaverton and
other locations in the southwest part of greater Portland.
Most customers live in single-family subdivision homes.
Collections are made once a week from any accessible
point, though. for insurance reasons, company personnel ;.o
longer go inside buildings or fenced areas. Normally,
vehicles stay on public thoroughfares to minimize company
liability for property damage. Rates, based on number of
30-gallon cans serviced, currently average $10.25 per can
per month.
Though collectors make it a public relations practice to
take a few boxfuls of trash as well, they record locations
where excess set-outs seem to be a practice.
That data is keyed into the company's coi,.-
puter, and explanations and additional bill-
ings are made directly to the customer. Cus-
tomers are billed every other month.
"To best serve our clients, we'll take
anything but hazardous wastes," says
Miller. "But, because we pay by the pound
for disposal, we find it necessary to charge
extra for extra amounts of items that require
special handling."
Disposal costs in the area range from
$42/ton to $45/ton, depending on location;
that's up by $16 to $19 per ton over the
rates just one year ago.
One-worker/mini-packer team
Small vehicles wouldn't be practical with a long haul to a
landfill or other tipping spot. But Miller's uses its convenient
yard as an off-loading point.
85 years of service
Miller's Sanitary Service, Inc.. was founded in 1904 by
Henry Miller, who was active in the firm until his death in
1964. His son, Carl, ran the organization until his retire-
ment in 1984, when his son, Tom, who grew up in the busi-
ness, became CEO. Ton's wife, Barb, works full-time as
office manager: and their son. Dean. 17, began working
summers three years ago as a fourth-veneration Miller in
Typical transfer operations start with house-
to-house yard and curbside pickup by one
man and his PRT-6 satellite vehicle. Each
of Miller's four units collects from an aver-
age of 250 homes per day - two loads per
day in winter, with its traditionally lighter accumulations;
and three in summer.
In fact, individual accumulations vary so much by sea-
son that some residents change their service agreement and
payment from one can in winter to two or more cans in
summer.
Collectors use 50-gallon aluminum containers held on
their shoulders to tote the refuse. They empty it in one no-
tion into the side opening of their vehicles. Though these
packers are small, they carry a lot. Company records show
densities average about 600 pounds per yard (3,600 pounds
per load). In winter, when there is additional moisture in
the collections. loads range up to 4,200 pounds per vehicle.
