HANSEN

Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - November 25, 2003 Page 1
Partnership goals are to improve access to transit, maximize transit ridership, and
improve local coverage. During the development of the local area plan, regular
updates will be forwarded to the City Council.
Councilor Wilson commented on the need for a different type of service for
suburban areas due to a change in densities in these areas. In the past, the focus
has been for transporting riders to Portland; however, local service is now needed.
Councilor Sherwood noted that it is critical that bus routes be located for the
convenience of low-income residents.
Council President Dirksen advised he is looking forward to the partnership with
TdMet. He said the MOU is a more definitive document than has been offered in
the past.
4. CITYWIDE SEWER EXTENSION PROGRAM BROCHURE PRESENTATION
• City Engineer Duenas presented the staff report about the sewer extension
program brochure, which is intended to inform property owners of the purpose,
procedures and purpose of the program. Council members suggested that the
verbiage be cut down so that the brochure focuses on key points and advises
where more information can be found; i.e., direct readers to the City's website.
5. DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED PLAN TO COMPLETE THE CITYWIDE
SEWER EXTENSION PROGRAM
• City Engineer Gus Duenas presented the staff report about the proposed plan to
complete the Citywide Sewer Extension program by extending sewer service to the
remaining developed but unserved areas in the City. Actual project approval and
implementation will be through the Capital Improvement Program formulation
each fiscal year. After brief discussion, there were no objections by the Council to
the proposed overall plan.
In response to a question from Mr. John Frewing, Mr. Duenas advised that the
sanitary sewer extension program does not address storm sewer improvements.
Storm sewer improvements are funded by a different source.
> City Engineer Duenas responded to a concern presented by Mr. Andrew Spiak at the
November 18 Council meeting regarding inadequate compaction once street cuts
were made on McDonald Street. Mr. Duenas advised he investigated this situation
and the fill made was only temporary. A proper fill and compaction will be done
Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - November 25, 2003 Page 2
once the contractor is ready to finish this portion of their job. Carlson Testing will
perform the compaction testing to assure the fill is done properly.
6. DISCUSSION OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS AND
CREATION OF A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE REVIEW COMMITTEE
• Planning Manager Dick Bewersdorff introduced this agenda item and reviewed the
history of the Community Development Code as it also relates to the
Comprehensive Plan. Associate Planner Morgan Tracy and Planning Commission
Chair Padgett were also present.
Highlights of the presentation included the following:
o Consensus of the Planning Commission was in opposition to code provisions
for "architectural review."
o Comprehensive Plan is 20 years old; the Plan needs to be reviewed as there
are many issues to discuss.
o Comprehensive Plan update will be discussed with the Planning Commission
in the next couple of weeks.
o Caution about short-term amendments to the Code without reviewing and
understanding the policy issues.
o Buy-in and ownership of policies occurs during the planning process to
establish the goals.
o Notation of underlying philosophy of code depends on whether it is supply-
and-demand based or to offer variable price levels for housing and
development through code provisions.
o Caution that the Development Code might conflict with what property
owners would consider a "taking" especially if a change to the Code would
limit development rights.
Lengthy discussion was conducted on how to go about a review of the Planned
Development process, which would include members of the Planning Commission,
City Council and citizens. There was a proposal made for a review committee to
consist of a Council liaison, two Planning Commission members and three citizens
who would represent different interests. Final consensus was for the staff to discuss
formation and options for a planned development review process and to forward a
recommendation to the City Council.
➢ City Manager Monahan and Council continued the discussion of the Citizen Involvement
process from the November 181 Council Study Session. Highlights of the discussion
included:
Staff members will not attend neighborhood meetings hosted by developers.
Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - November 25, 2003 Page 3
• Opportunities for citizens to talk to city might include having staff available before
Planning Commission meetings to answer questions about development proposals
and the criteria to be considered.
• Make meeting time available for citizens to talk to staff about potential
development or for general questions.
Meeting recessed at 9:10 p.m.
Meeting reconvened at 9:22 p.m.
7. DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL TIGARD-TUALATIN SCHOOL DISTRICT PARK
AND RECREATION DISTRICT PROPOSAL
• City Manager Monahan reviewed this item with the City Council about the
shortage of funds in the School District and the efforts to find funding to keep the
swimming pools open. There was a recent meeting attended by representatives
from the School District, Tigard, Tualatin, King City, Durham and a citizens group
led by Steve Clark. There was an evaluation of whether to embark on an initiative
process to place the question on the March ballot asking voters to form and fund a
special district for recreation. However, the meeting attendees decided there was
not enough time to organize for the March election.
Council discussed the concept of formation of a special district for recreation. The
Council recently formed the Park and Recreation Advisory Board, which is
developing a work plan to review the issue of forming a park and recreation
district, join Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District, or form a park and
recreation district with Tualatin. A comment was made that the City would not
want to foreclose its options at this point. Also, there was concern that the focus
from the School District's proposal for a park and recreation district was too
narrow and that the City would want to address the needs of the entire citizenry.
Council consensus was that it was not interested in creating a separate district at
this time.
> STUDY SESSION ITEMS
• Council held a discussion on the December 2, 2003, process for the public
hearing on the Bull Mountain Annexation Plan. Council also discussed potential
options of how it could proceed. The Plan now calls for a March election;
however, given the citizen input received at the Coffee Talks and the
November 19 Community meeting, Council might want to consider delaying the
ballot measure to the November 2004 election. The additional time could be
used to form subcommittees that focus in the areas where concerns have been
raised. The subcommittees could then assemble more detailed information.
Participation on the subcommittees would include representation from citizens,
and City and County officials.
Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - November 25, 2003 Page 4
LM
• There was discussion about asking the County to collect the SDC charges based on
the annexation plan even though the vote might be delayed.
• Citizens present from the Bull Mountain area and from the City of Tigard
expressed appreciation should the Council decide to delay its action to place this
matter on the March ballot to November. They requested meaningful, far-
reaching citizen involvement.
• Councilor Moore reflected on the efforts by the City so far on this matter, which
has been in various stages of discussion and planning for the last 20 years. While
he might support a delay in the vote to November, he expressed some concern
over some City projects that might continue "to be shelved." City Manager
Monahan that some thought has been given to this and that other departments, in
addition to Community Development, would be asked to work on different
aspects under the study of the subcommittees. Expectations of the subcommittees
would need to be clear. Other projects besides the Bull Mountain Annexation
Plan would run on parallel tracks.
• Councilor Wilson indicated that his perspective was that he has heard from the
Bull Mountain residents asking what they will "get" for the taxes they pay to
Tigard and the focus has been on the delivery of services. He continued by
saying: "I can throw a baseball from my yard across the city limits. I live up
there; they're my neighbors and they write Tigard on their return address, they
drink the same water we do; they're virtually the same except that they don't
contribute. We're going to generate an operating surplus from this, that's clear.
I think to assume that all of those dollars should go to say hire police out there
when nobody calls for police out there is ridiculous. They are in the same traffic
congestion that we're in...we've been operating for years on this sort of status
quo, just doing the bare minimum. Maybe this is an opportunity to say to the
people up there, our neighbors, can you help us do something that we've never
done before? Can we get out of this and actually start to develop the
downtown. Don't they have an interest in downtown too? Don't they have an
interest in seeing Pacific Highway finally improved? If we can approach them
that way saying you guys can help us substantially financially to do some of
these things and let's work together."
• Council consensus was to open the hearing on December 2 and take testimony.
The Council members will indicate that the City might want to investigate an
alternative course of action. Commitments from the County will be explored with
regard to the collection of parks system development charges, County financial
assistance for roads when the roads are transferred, the potential for identifying
MSTIP projects in this area, and to determine if some commitments can be
extended to the City.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE:
Joint Water Commission Membership Amendment Presentation
PREPARED BY: Ed Wegner DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK Lt*X/-"
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
The City continues to make progress in its efforts to secure a long term water supply. This will be
the fifth joint meeting with the Intergovernmental Water Board where the City staff will brief the
Council and IWB on the "Amendment to Water Service Agreement and Joinder Agreement " with
the Joint Water Commission. The agreement will grant the City of Tigard membership to the Joint
Water Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
No action is recommended at this time.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City has been actively pursuing ownership in a long term source of water. Past and current
Council goals, as well as the visioning process, have consistently directed the City to this goal. To
this end, staff has worked towards obtaining membership into the Joint Water Commission. Tigard
has requested a membership that is based on the ability to obtain 4 million gallons a day supply
from the Commission. The Joint Water Commission is willing to grant Tigard membership as
outlined in the "Amendment to Water Service Agreement and Joinder Agreement" (i.e. leasing
agreement, continued participation in future CIPs, Tualatin Basin Water Feasibility Study).
Staff will present a report on the Joint Water Commission and the "Amendment to the Water
Service Agreement and Joinder Agreement".
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
N/A
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY

Citywide Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program - November 25, 2003
Background
City residents without sewer service expressed their concern that there were no sewers in their
neighborhood to connect to should their septic systems fail. In response, Council created the
Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program to construct sewers through Reimbursement Districts
as provided for by City Code. The original program was initiated in May 1996 by mailing notice
of the program to owners within unsewered portions the City. This was followed by
presentations at public meetings and an article in Cityscape.
Under the program, the City installs public sewers to each lot within the Reimbursement District
and the owners reimburse the City for a fair share of the cost of the public sewer at the time of
connection to the sewer. In addition, each owner is also required to pay a connection fee of
$2,435 before connecting to the line and would be responsible for disconnecting the existing
septic system according to County rules and any other plumbing modifications necessary to
connect to the public line.
These lots were typically on septic systems that are 30 years old or more. This is beyond the
period that septic systems may be confidently expected to properly function. Failed septic
systems create health hazards that are regulated by DEQ rules that mandate rapid and effective
abatement of the hazard. The rules are enforced by Washington County Department of Health.
These health and enforcement consequences cannot be avoided by projects proposed in reaction
to failed septic systems that occur at scattered locations throughout the City. The Program is
intended to provide for the extension of sewers to all unsewered residential areas so that City
sewer will be available as septic systems fail.
In addition, the program is intended to provide service at the least cost and to not create any
expenses for owners who choose not to connect to the sewer. The usual method of providing
sewer service is through Local Improvement Districts. The main attraction of this method is that
it provides for installment payments through the sale of a bond. However, the sale of the bond
adds excessive costs to the project; the bond is a lien on the owner's property and requires all
owners to begin payments to retire the bond even if the owner does not connect to the sewer.
The advantage of the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program is that it avoids the cost of the
bond sale, does not create a lien and payment by owners is not required until the owner chooses
to connect. However, installment payments are not provided.
Current Program
i
The first eleven projects completed through the Program provided 156 residential services in
neighborhoods where the project was requested by at least fifty percent of the owners. Upon
completion of these projects, projects for the neighborhoods that remained without service were
scheduled over a 5-year period ending in 2006. The highest priority was given to neighborhoods
with known septic system problems and with streets that required sewer installation in advance
of planned street improvements.
The program is expected to conclude in 2006. Once the program is concluded, any remaining
unserved lots would be served on interest shown by the residents and would be dependent upon
the availability of funding at that time.
Citywide Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program
1
Procedure- Once a neighborhood has been selected for a project, the owners within the
proposed district are notified of a City Council hearing to form a reimbursement district. The
notice includes the estimated cost of the project and a proposed method of assigning a portion of
the cost to each owner. Owners are invited to submit written or oral comments to City Council.
Immediately following the hearing City Council will consider approving a resolution to form the
district. If City Council approves the resolution, a copy will be mailed to each owner. The
resolution defines the boundaries of the reimbursement district, and includes an estimated cost to
each owner based on an estimated total project cost.
The estimated total project cost includes the estimated cost of construction plus an additional
13.5 % for an administrative fee. The administrative fee is expected to cover all project costs
except for payments to the contractor constructing the project and the cost purchasing any
required interests in land. Typical administrative costs include the engineering and surveying
required for the design of the project, contract administration and construction inspection and
testing. The engineering and surveying may be provided by City staff or consultants hired by the
City. The estimated cost of construction usually includes a fifteen contingency in addition to the
estimated cost of construction. The contingency is expected to cover a higher than expected bid
from the contractor as well as the cost of any additional work found to be required during
construction.
Following fonnation of the district, a contractor is hired and begins construction. The contractor
will construct the public sewer mainline in the street as well as a connection line from the
mainline to the property line of each lot. Upon completion of construction, final costs are
determined and a notice of a City Council hearing to finalize the district is mailed to the owners.
At the hearing, City Council receives comments and is asked to finalize the district by approving
the final costs in a resolution. A copy of the resolution detailing the final cost to each owner (the
reimbursement fee) is mailed to the owners along with notice that the sewer is now available for
connections.
' To connect to the sewer, the owner (or owner's contractor) must go to the front counter at City
Hall and pay the reimbursement fee required by the final resolution and a connection fee
(currently $2,435) and obtain a plumbing permit. The reimbursement fee increases annually at
6.05% simple interest.
Features of the program- The program is authorized through the Tigard Municipal Code
Chapter 13.09. The text of the Code is available at the City's website, www.ci.tirard.or.us.
There is no requirement to connect an existing house to a sewer constructed through a
reimbursement district or pay any fee until connection is made. However, payment of the
reimbursement fee will be required for a building permit for a new house or for any addition,
modification, repair or alterations to an existing house which exceed twenty-five percent of the
value of the house. The construction of the sewer does not result in a lien on the owner's
property and the owner may sale the property without paying any reimbursement district fees.
The reimbursement district terminates fifteen years from the date City Council forms the district.
Once the district is terminated, owners may connect to the sewer without paying the
reimbursement fee. The owner must still pay the connection fee.
Incentive Program- To encourage owners to promptly connect to the sewer once it is available,
City Council created an incentive program that limits the amount any owner is required to pay
Citywide Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program
2
-0
for a share of the public sewer (the reimbursement fee) to $6,000 if the connection was
completed within three years from when it was first available. The owner would also pay for any
costs that exceed $15,000 but payment of this amount may be deferred until the lot is partitioned
or otherwise developed during the life of the district. (For example; if an owner was assigned a
reimbursement fee of $16,000, the owner may connect to the sewer during the first three years
for $6,000. If the lot is partitioned during the life of the reimbursement district, payment of an
additional $1,000 will be required). For those that do not choose to connect during the first three
years after the sewer is made available, the reimbursement fee would be the full share of the
project cost plus the annual increase.
On October 14, 2003, City Council approved additional incentives for lot owners whose
reimbursement fee exceeds $15,000 and merely wish to connect an existing house within three
years after the sewer is available or construct a house on a vacant lot. These owners may
connect by paying $6,000 and deferring payment of any amount over $15,000 until the lot is
partitioned or otherwise developed during the fifteen-year life of the reimbursement district.
Connection of plumbing- The work required to connect the house plumbing to the sewer
connection line is entirely on private property and is the responsibility of the owner. This
requires installing a pipe that connects the lowest point of the house plumbing to the sewer.
Typically, the sewer is at the street in front of the house and the lowest point of the house
plumbing is behind the house. This requires either installing the pipe around the house, or if
there is a crawl space, under the house. The owner may select the location of the installed sewer
connection line at the street. The assistance of a plumber may be required to determine the most
advantageous location.
Occasionally, the propose depth of a sewer connection line is greater than that required for a
particular lot and an owner may request that it be installed at lesser depth to avoid the cost of
additional excavation. Owners are urged to carefully consider the consequences of requesting a
less deep connection line. Future improvements such as another house may require additional
depth.
Cost- The owners largest cost is the reimbursement fee. For lots within subdivisions, the fee
frequently ranges from $6,000 to $12,000 and is intended to be each owner's fair share of the
cost of constructing the public sewer. The Incentive Program limits the amount any owner is
required to pay to $6,000 up to a maximum of $15,000 if the connection was completed within
three years from when it was first available. Owners that connect following the first three years
after the sewer is made available must pay the full fee plus the annual increase.
At the time of connection, the must also pay a connection fee that is currently $2,435 for a single
family house. The fees are used to increase the capacity of sewerage treatment facilities and are
required for connections to all lots regardless of whether the lot is in a reimbursement district.
Once connection to the sewer is completed, the owner's utility bill from the City will include a
charge for sewer that is used to operate and maintain the sewerage system. The amount of the
charge is based on winter water usage and averages about $50 for a two month billing period.
Additional information- Questions may be directed to the City Engineering Department at 503
718-2468 or gregPci.tigard.or.us.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Pro osed Plan to Complete the Cit ide Sewer Extension Pro am
PREPARED BY: A.P. Duenas DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Discussion with Council of the plan to complete the Citywide Sewer Extension Program by extending sewer
service to the remaining developed but unserved areas in the City. Actual project approval and implementation will
be through the Capital Improvement Program formulation each fiscal year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That Council review and comment on the proposed plan for completing the Citywide Sewer Extension Program.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
On June 12, 2001, City Council approved a five-year schedule of projects to extend sewer service through the
Citywide Sewer Extension Program, to the houses throughout the City that remain without service. At the
beginning of the program, 675 residential lots were identified as needing sewer service. By the end of FY 2003-04,
195 sewer laterals should be available for connection. The remaining 480 sewer services are proposed to be
completed in accordance with the schedule shown on the attached Table 1. The projects have been tentatively
scheduled over the next three fiscal years for inclusion into the City's Capital Improvement Program.
As with the previous five-year schedule, the projects were prioritized by cost of construction per connection
provided. This enables early construction of projects that provide the most connections for the least cost. The
O'Mara & Edgewood project was advanced to the coming fiscal year because of significant owner interest. Several
other projects were scheduled to precede street projects. It is important to note that many of the remaining projects
require easements that could delay installation.
The proposed schedule will be used to guide staff in the selection of the specific Capital Improvement projects for
each fiscal year, and to give notice to affected home owners of the upcoming projects. The actual projects for each
fiscal year will be selected through the CIP formulation process. The priority of the projects may change in the
upcoming fiscal years depending upon proposed street projects and potential difficulties involved in acquiring
easements for extension of the sewer lines. The program completion may extend beyond the next three fiscal years,
depending upon the ease of forming these anticipated districts. However, every attempt will be made to program
and construct the projects shown during the next three years.
With Council's overall approval of the proposed plan, the schedule will be incorporated into the CIP formulation
process, starting with FY 2004-05. In the spring of 2004, we plan to conduct meetings with the residents within the
proposed projects to provide information about the program and to answer questions regarding the projects. The
brochure being developed for the program will be one of the tools used to inform residents and will be provided to
all residents in the proposed reimbursement districts well in advance of project implementation.

Services Discussion with TriMet General Manager
MGR OK
PREPARED BY: Duane Roberts DEPT HEAD OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Continuation of review and discussion with TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen of the proposed
Tigard/TriMet Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and companion Local Area Plan for improving
transit services within the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Council discuss with the regional transit agency head its ideas and opinions regarding the proposed MOU for
improving transit and any other transit-related issues Council wishes to raise.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
At its 10/21/03 workshop meeting, Council discussed with TriMet represenatives two TriMet-prepared
documents that lay out proposed strategies for enhancing transit access in Tigard. These documents include a
MOU and a "Tigard Local Area Plan". The MOU is intended to provide a framework for collaborative
efforts between TriMet and Tigard. It encompasses capital (bus shelters, sidewalks, lighting) and service
improvements. The "Tigard Local Area Plan" describes TriMet's proposed approach and timeline for
identifying and implementing Tigard-area transit improvements. The target date for service improvements is
2006, coinciding with opening of commuter rail. The MOU and Plan are the starting point for improving
transit access in Tigard and TriMet's response to Council's prior requests to improve the transit system
serving the City. Tigard is one of only six areas identified in the agency's five-year Transit Improvement
Plan as a focus for transit system investments.
At the 10/21/03 workshop meeting, individual Council members commented that the MOU was a "good
beginning" but expressed concern than no actions had been taken up to now on Council's prior
recommendations to TriMet for service changes. Another concern was that the MOU contains no measurable
goals or benchmarks for ridership increases.
TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen will attend the meeting. As noted at the time, Mr. Hansen was not
available for the 10/21 workshop meeting.
Adoption of the MOU is scheduled for December 16, 2003.
