Materials included: • 2005 City Council Goal Status Summary • Departmental summaries of accomplishments for the year • Volunteer report • The Capital Improvement Program Progress Report for the 2005 Calendar Year Council members proceeded with a brainstorming session, with each member suggesting goals for 2006. (Recorder's Note: Attached is the proposed final 2006 City Council Goals list submitted for Council approval at its January 24, 2006, business meeting.) Below are highlights of the City Council discussion: • Revise Comprehensive Plan - complete the draft by the end of the year. Notation that the Plan is 25 years; identify where it is obsolete. • Improve relationship and communication with citizens - implement the new neighborhood program. • Implement the Downtown Plan - add specifics of what is to be implemented in 2006; identify projects such as a public gathering place in the downtown. The City Council can support the ballot measure and Council members decided they would work to get the ballot measure passed and to support the political action committee. • Improve 99W corridor. Projects in 2006 would include the implementation of the Transportation Growth Management Study and improvements to the Greenburg and Hall Boulevard intersections. • Stabilize the Financial Picture as the City Council receives the Financial Strategy Task Force report followed by appropriate City Council action. City Council members also noted the importance of continuing to control costs. • City Council members considered the potential goal to "address growth on the western border." After discussion, City Council decided the goal should be stated in terms for clarification of the City's position on the provision of urban services to unincorporated areas and to protect the interests of the citizens of Tigard. • Long-range water decisions will be necessary in 2006. COUNCIL MINUTES -JANUARY 6, 2006 page 1 • Build skate park. There was discussion on whether this should be a subsection of a goal and it was placed under the broader goal of Implementing the Downtown Plan. • Consider opportunities to make major greenspaces purchases. After discussion, City Council members decided to add specific activities including purchasing first- refusal options and to explore property exchanges with the School District. • City Council discussed long-term water options including the joint Water Commission, City of Portland, and Lake Oswego. • Comprehensive Plan Review and Revision. There was discussion about: o High-tech development in the region - Tigard is in the center of this activity (i.e., Washington Square, Lincoln Center, Kruse Way). o Analyze trends. o Determine where current Code is obsolete. Define economic patterns and strategies. o Understand the economic trends and define what kind of City we want to become. o City staffing includes one-half FTE for an urban renewal planner and one- half FTE for economic development. .o Develop an economic assessment of existing conditions and opportunities o The Comprehensive Plan sets out a vision for the City - a hierarchy of purposes. o Consider design standards. • Address growth on the western border of the City, which will involve more than the Comprehensive Plan Review (i.e., intergovernmental agreements, policies, Area 63/64). • At this time unincorporated Bull Mountain area is not in the Comprehensive Plan Review. • There was a suggestion to include up to 150`h Street in the Comprehensive Planning Review; however, there was a question as to whether the City would have the authority to include this property. Another suggestion was to keep the area outside the City limits as a separate issue while the City Council works out some of the policy issues. • There was discussion on the original policy for the urban services area noting the changes in the "political landscape." Original policy clearly states that it was anticipated that the City boundaries would extend to the current urban growth boundary. The position on the urban services area needs to be clarified. Discussed protecting the public's interest. • There appears to be no mechanism to bring areas 63 and 64 into the City of Tigard. • Referred to Senate Bill 122 directing cities and counties to address areas within the urban growth boundary to determine how urban services would be provided; who would be the ultimate service provider. • There was a suggestion to do a comprehensive survey to tie together some of the other smaller surveys. • There was discussion about the continued improvement of the City's committee system. It was suggested that sign up sheets provide a space so people can indicate if they would be interested in serving on a board or committee (develop a resource file). COUNCIL MINUTES -JANUARY 6, 2006 page 2 • Utilize the library to get messages out. • Promote the City's web page. • Communication is two-way; suggested focus be on those who want to be part of the communication process. Another comment was the desire to hear from the "average" person as well as activists. • Involve the Citizens for Community Involvement and the Neighborhood groups. • Past surveys included: Library services; Citizens Academy program. • Make public notices for land use more visible; include a telephone number so more information could be obtained if desired. • Progress in communication has included the 5`h Tuesday meetings and the use of the City's website. • Suggested that a recognition event be planned for the Neighborhood program. • Discussed CPO's and the request to the County to restructure this program. • Discussed City's relationship with schools, with the comment made that the mission of the City is not education. Continue to work on two-way communication and cooperate with the schools where the two jurisdictions' missions overlap. Meeting recessed at 2:09 p.m. Meeting reconvened at 2:29 p.m. • Reviewed the Transportation Growth Management Grant process. • On March 4 there is a CPO 4B and 4K symposium on 99W. There was a request for the City of Tigard to attend. More information is needed. • A request was made for a Police report on activity on Bull Mountain. • Add the Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard intersection projects to the 99W goal. • Reference made to performance audits for major expenditure programs - setting the budget and "sticking to it." • Discussion on how capital projects are carried forward from one fiscal year to the next when projects have not been completed. Suggestion that draft Capital Improvement Program identify projects not completed, but funded. • Discussed how the City invests money as required by law. Discussed contingency funding for projects. Generally, the City sets aside 10-20 percent as contingency for projects. • Discussed long-term financial picture. Budget is always balanced; however, a number of desired programs and projects cannot be done. • Metro dollars might be available for park/greenway purchases. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is evaluating opportunities and options for park/greenway purchases. • Additional discussion on urban services area and whether the City might want to consider that the boundaries of the City of Tigard are set; however, the other viewpoint includes concerns by those who do not wasn't to see further use of City services by people who have not paid for them. There was a suggestion that the cities of Washington County come together on this issue and present a united message to the County. • City Council members agreed that the City map showing only the City boundaries (not the urban growth boundary) be used as the City of Tigard map. COUNCIL MINUTES -JANUARY 6, 2006 page 3 • The County adopted the City of Tigard Development Code, in a public process, when the City and County entered the urban services agreements. • Briefly discussed the requirements for forming a new City. Feasibility study is being conducted for formation of a new City on Bull Mountain.

It seems that city government has been hobbled by indecision since the vote on the charter amendment - something I was in a position to derail at the time by challenging the woefully inadequate ballot title, but chose not to - and I really believe the time has come to get the charter limitation out of the way, namely, by putting a measure on the May ballot to coincide with TVWD's measure (as the voters would be informed that TVWD supplies a major portion of the city right now). I'd be pleased to serve on a committee to either draft the ballot measure or voter's pamphlet explanatory statement, or both. Thanks. Library Board Goals to Council Restore and maintain operation (hours) of the library. At a minimum, retain the existing 55 hours per week with the goal of restoring hours to 60 open hours per week, the minimum state standard to adequately serve a community the size of Tigard. Determine if Tigard residents are satisfied with the existing number of open hours. Green space acquisition by tying the library to the community. Include library and grounds as part of urban renewal in terms of promoting it to the public. The Fanno Creek Trail should. be considered an extension of the improvements in the downtown area. Promote the green spaces near the library as an example of the attempt to maintain a natural environment near a progressive downtown. "Just a few blocks from downtown, people will be able to picnic in the park and view birds of prey, waterfowl and other wildlife in the heart of Tigard." Promoting/informing the community of all Citywide services. For example, the library should be an active partner in the city's urban renewal effort. Both as a disseminator of information about urban renewal and other city services, as well as a meeting place for city-related activities, the library can actively assist in the city's communication efforts. It can also be a storehouse of information on community goals, activities, projects that can be accessed when City Hall is not open or by those who do not have access to the Web. MEMORANDUM December 1, 2005 Mayor and City Council Tigard, OR 97223 Re: Suggested 2006 Park and Recreation Goals for the City of Tigard Based on the work of the Park and Recreation Advisory Board, the public testimony that was received by that Board, input from Staff, and the results of citywide surveys, four main goals were identified goals that the City should pursue in 2006. It is suggested that: 1) The City of Tigard develops a Recreation Division to offer recreation programming for youth, teens, and adults. 2) The City of Tigard develops non-park recreation facilities (Community Recreation Center). 3) The City of Tigard financially supports the development and construction of a public skateboard park. 4) The City of Tigard continues to look for ways to acquire active park space and protect green space inside its urban growth boundary. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board will do everything it can to assist City Council and City of Tigard staff in these efforts. Here's to a great 2006! Regards, Carl R. Switzer Chairman, Park and Recreation Advisory Board i:\adm\city co il\goals\2006\goal suggestions fmm pfab 051202.doc 12/2/05 Council Goal Suggestions from the Planning Commission: 1. Continue to support infrastructure and other Downtown Plan:issues with the Capital Improvement Program. 2. Update the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Adopt Development Code changes proposed by the Planned Development Review Committee. 4. Work with our legislators to eliminate the "double majority" requirement on annexation so that the law will be consistent statewide. 5. Until annexation of the Unincorporated Urban Services Areas occur, request Metro to institute an Urban Services Equalization (USE) fee in the URB areas to recompense the cities in the Metro boundary for the services they provide to the residents of the URB areas. 6. Reexamine the policy of allowing non-residents and non-City property owners on City Boards and Committees - this should be a function of stakeholders only. r; MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Tree Board RE: Suggested City Council Goals for 2006 DATE: December 15, 2005 Suggested goals for 2006: 1. City of Tigard to work with Costco to increase the amount of tree cover in the parking lot so they can attain the required 35% canopy coverage within the next nine years. Consider encouraging other retail outlets to increase their tree canopies in their parking lots. 2. City appropriate money for Tree Related Activities - to include enforcement of City codes, developers' tree preservation, protection and mitigation activities and general oversight of various tree-related issues. MEMORANDUM Administration CITY OF TIGARD Shaping A Better Community TO: Craig Prosser, City Manager FROM: Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager DATE: December 23, 2005 SUBJECT: Tigard Youth Advisory Council Suggestions for 2006 City Council Goals At their December 7 meeting the Youth Advisory Council discussed areas they felt important to youth for City Council to consider as goals for 2006. Consensus of the group was to forward two suggested goals to the City Council: 1. The Mayor and Council members connect with students more - go have lunch at the schools, wander the halls between classes and talk to students, attend school events (games, plays, etc.) so that students know their City councilors. 2. Focus on the Skate Park and Recreation. iAadm%zlmemos%20051memo to craig re yac council goals 051223.doc1223105 r Goal: Complete the development and implementation of the City-wide Neighborhood Program. • Establish the Neighborhood Program as the City's key citizen involvement program Goal: improve the effectiveness of City communications with the citizen of Tigard. • Determine methods for measuring the effectiveness of communications between City and the citizens of Tigard. 1. Review current avenues of communications between the City and Tigard citizens. 2. Based on this assessment, identify ways to improve two-way communication between the City and its citizens. • Increase the participation of under-represented groups in all aspects of policy and decision making within City government. OV "6W 2 t c~~ C 0AILI Date: January 5, 2006 To: City Council From: City Center Advisory Commission Subject: City Council Goals 2006 The City Center Advisory Commission has considered goals for the coming fiscal year as requested by Council. The CCAC has prepared below a list of goals for your consideration. There is significant commentary (which we have enclosed) related to each of the potential goals. Implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan (5) Financial Plan for Long Term (3) Improve Council/Staff relationships with Citizens (3) Comprehensive Plan Update (2) As the above items received multiple comments from Commission Members, the following are additional important items that Members recognized for Council consideration: General Transportation Issues Hwy 99W Improvements Community Livability Issues Urban Area Annexations Acquisition of Fowler Woods Park / Open Space Purchase Priority List We look forward to working with Council during the new year to provide accomplishment to the goals you set. Your City Center Advisory Commission, Jim Andrews Carolyn Barkley Gretchen Buehner Suzanne Gallagher Alice Ellis-Gaut Marland Henderson Lily Lilly Mike Marr Judy Munro Roger Potthoff Mike Stevenson Carl Switzer Alternate Members: Alexander Craghead Ralph Hughes r c January 5, 2006 Enclosure: Memo to Council re: Council Goals 2006 Carl S. suggests: 1) Improve transportation facilities for all modes 2) Improve Tigard's Livability (Parks and Recreation, civic buildings, street art, etc.) 3) Engage Tigard residents in City affairs, Mike S. suggests: I think we should be thinking of three things that will show the whole Tigard community the start of work or progress in the Downtown area..I understand that little funding will be available for this at this time, but we should tie in with anything TriMet.is doing for the Commuter Rail and also any funding that is already planned in the area (redo of Burnham Street). 1) Signage at the entrances or gateways to the Downtown area - identifying the region for everyone who comes in the area. 2) Start to redo Main Street - begin by redoing one intersection on Main Street as an example of what will be coming in the future years (possibly at the intersection of Burnham Street to tie in with existing Burnham redo or Tigard Street). Use planters on the side of the road and concrete crossings to identify the walking areas. 3) Redo Burnham Street - with existing road funding, but be aware of future needs of the street (access to future waterfront park, back side access to Commuter Rail parking, possible extension of Ash across railroad tracks). I presume these funds are already allocated. Jim A. suggests: l) I still want to put the "Implementation of the TDIP" as the number one priority with the projects noted previously. I don't want these projects to slip through the "cracks". 2) There is a concern for the lack of continuity between the various task force, committees, sub comities, etc. and the city. So far there has been little continuity. New city staff appear during each "phase" with little understanding of the previous work of an earlier "phase". It feels like we are always going backwards or educating new staff on issues or areas already discussed. Maybe this is how the system must work when dealing with the city, but I am nervous that the knowledge gained by staff during one phase is not being continued to the next. I don't know how this is made into a goal, I just know that I see this as an issue the City needs to resolve. Maybe the city should have a project coordinator who is the "Liaison" and is attached to the various committees, groups and can keep the committees and the city up to speed on projects and provide specific answers to questions, etc. I still have not received an answer to my e-mail to the mayor. Someone from the city needs to get a grip on the big picture and provide answers. 3) From my limited understanding of the city and its financial situation I do not know how to make this a specific goal. If there is a shortfall in the near future, then by all means there should be some accountability. An audit may be the way to understand and head off the shortfall. So my third goal would be a performance audit. January 5, 2006 Page 2 Enclosure: Memo to Council re: Council Goals 2006 Gretchen B. suggests: 1) Move ahead with the Comprehensive Plan update. It is critical both for downtown and the City as a whole. Quite frankly, I think that this is the critical issue for the City. It incorporates planning, transportation and urban renewal. 2) Annexation of the City's urban growth area. Roger P. suggests: My suggestion regarding 2006 Council Goals are to keep the first 2 goals of the 2005 list, subject to adding one additional "bullet point" to each goal (as set forth below). I further recommend that the 3rd goal from 2005 ("Address Growth") be replaced with: "Define solution(s) to Tigard's looming fiscal crisis." So, here is what my suggestions look like: 1) Revitalize Downtown* Complete and implement the Downtown Plan Urban renewal implementation Public relations plan and vote Identify and begin projects * (New Additional Bullet Point) "Establish and codify building design guidelines and make them enforceable under local ordinance." 2) Improve 99W* Identify specific projects to alleviate congestion on 99W Prioritize projects/funding Leverage additional funding * (New Additional Bullet Point) "Improve communication and coordination with ODOT and Washington County in regard to traffic plan design and implementation." 3) Define solution(s) to Tigard's looming fiscal crisis. Carolyn B. suggests: 1) I would like the council's last year's goals to show some sign of being done. Improving downtown was one of their goals and I don't see anything we can point at yet. It will be important for the public perception of what we want with Urban Renewal. 2) I would like another entrance or exit from the commuter rail station made a top priority. I really dread that train going on line without this being taken care of first. We need the public to see we are ready for this train. 3) I would like the council as a whole to make a definite public impression of cooperation with citizens. Their image to the public will be a driving force in the attempt to get Urban Renewal. I don't want the public to feel bullied. I guess that's the best I can do right now with everything being so scattered for me. I am anxious to see how everyone else did their suggestions. January 5, 2006 Page 3 Enclosure: Memo to Council re: Council Goals 2006 Alice E-G. suggests: My suggested goals are related, but I offer them separately as they require different types of efforts. 1) Acquire parkland/open space land. Specifically, Fowler Woods, which is the only large tract left & is in danger of being sold off by the School District. I encourage Council to IMMEDIATELY begin dialogue to acquire this tract. Fowler Woods is already in a sort of public ownership; Tigard should do everything possible to secure this site. In my view this is a huge priority as City Council has already stated interest in large parcels. Other than Fred Fields' property, I know of no others. Both are regionally significant riparian &/or upland habitat deserving of creative and Herculean efforts. 2) Prioritize identifying park/open space land that could be purchased with assistance from Metro per the upcoming bond measure. Both of the above properties would be of interest to Metro; if there are others they should be identified now so we are not once more unprepared to move if/when funds are available. Mike M. suggests: 1) Accelerated implementation of Downtown Improvement Plan with emphasis on Burnham Street and Ash Avenue (Burnham to Commercial Street) Burnham Street has been in need of reconstruction for years. And with the pending arrival of the Commuter Rail, the Ash Avenue extension to the parking lot is imperative, setting the stage for the rail crossing continuation to Commercial Street (begin conversations with railroad about crossing rights and consolidation of Tiedeman and North Dakota). 2) Comprehensive Plan Update This plan is in need of significant updates and, considering the number of growth/improvement factors facing Tigard, it is imperative that Tigard be prepared for it. 3) Long term financial plan with performance audits of major expenditure programs prior to consideration of levies or fees Being a member of the Financial Strategy Task Force, I am aware of the long term financial concerns of the City. With strong consideration to conducting performance audits in major expense programs first, the City needs to stay focused on the possibilities for additional funds in the future. Joanne,Bengtson Status,Recap_for 2006,Goal. Setting. doc „,.,Page 1 1 Council Goals 2005 Review Growth of Expenditures and Revenue Recap of 2006 Goal Setting • Finance Department working in conjunction with other City departments completed the preparation of budget requests for all City funds and program for FY 2005-06. • Proposed Budget submitted to Budget Committee in April of 2005 and the Budget Committee held four public hearings to discuss individual budget requests as well as the growth of City expenditures and revenue over the last three years. • The Budget Committee approved the Budget on May 16, 2005. The City Council held a public hearing on June 14 and the budget was adopted for FY 2005-06. • As a result of the budget hearings and discussion, the City Council established a Financial Strategy Task Force that is being asked to not only review existing City services with regard to cost-effectiveness of service delivery but also identify potential new revenue sources that could be used to address the City's projected financial deficits in various City funds. • The Task Force as held three meetings and it is anticipated that they will be completing their work by the end of February, 2006. MEMORANDUM TO: Dennis Koellermeier, PW Director FROM: Dan Plaza, Parks and Facilities Manager RE: Goal Report requested by Craig Prosser DATE: January 6, 2006 - High points for the near. The City of Tigard conducted an evaluation process aimed at identifying and acquiring property for park and greenway use. The potential properties were identified by the PRAB, Tigard citizens and City staff. Forty-seven (47) properties belonging to approximately forty (40) property owners were identified. Eighteen (18) properties were subsequently removed by property owners. Ultimately, twenty-nine (29) properties were evaluated by the City. The City completed its evaluation of the potential properties, and a "willing seller" analysis is currently underway. Once "willing sellers" are identified the City will determine which properties to pursue, and efforts to purchase certain properties will begin. Specific accomplishments. As a result of the evaluation process, the City is considering 22 greenway spaces and 4 "active park" sites which can provide recreational features such as playgrounds, basketball courts, picnic shelters, etc. The Council approved and adopted an FY 2005-2006 budget which contains budget allocations totaling approximately $2,000,000 to purchase park and open space property Outstanding work items to be completed As stated above, a "willing seller" analysis is currently being conducted. Once we know which property owners are willing to sell their property the City's Legal Counsel and/or Property Acquisition Representative will begin negotiations to secure the identified property. Acquisition of property can be done in a short period of time or may take upwards to a year to finalize agreement Joanne Bengtson - Year End Rept 2005 doc Page 1 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 2005 YEAR END REPORT Long Range Planning Downtown Council maintains its long standing goal of supporting the Downtown/Central Business District. Two guiding principles of City Council are that the Downtown Plan be community-supported and financially sound. The Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan, the result of an extensive 15 month planning process, has been adopted by Council. The Plan was developed through use of a Transportation Growth Management grant received in 2004. The 24-member Downtown Task Force has been acknowledged by Council for their commitment and effort in producing the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan. Their term of service was officially ended by resolution of Council though some individuals will continue their efforts as part of the Streetscape Working Group. In order to assist the financing of public improvements in the Downtown, Council has decided to utilize Tax Increment Financing as a key financial tool. In order to use Tax Increment Financing, the City is required to adopt an Urban Renewal Plan and according to City Charter, obtain voter approval. To date, the City has formally adopted the Urban Renewal Plan for Downtown, and a ballot is anticipated for May 2006. In preparation for the May ballot measure, the City hired Norton-Arnold & Company to develop a public outreach program to help the City more effectively address public concerns regarding the Urban Renewal process. • The City Council approved Phase I of a contract with Norton-Arnold & Company for development of a Public Outreach Program on June 5. Phase I provided several key elements for the program to educate and address citizen concerns regarding the Urban Renewal process. These included a telephone survey to gauge public opinion, a public outreach plan, and work with the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC) to more effectively develop the overall outreach plan. • The Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan was adopted by Council on September 27, 2005. • On October 25, Council approved Phase II of the contract with Norton-Arnold & Company to provide support materials for presentations and outreach meetings, and participate in key public meetings. • During the Urban Renewal planning process, there were approximately 10 small group presentations conducted by the Center City Advisory Commission (CCAC), and citywide notices to over 13,000 residents inviting them to the first Open House for Urban Renewal which took place on November 10. Small group presentations were designed to inform the public about the Urban Renewal process, answer questions, and receive comments. • On November 22, the Council passed a resolution adopting the Urban Renewal Plan for Downtown. • On November 22, members of the Downtown Taskforce received certificates of acknowledgement by the City Council for their Downtown planning efforts. Their term of service was ended by resolution of Council. 1ACDADMUERREBReportsWear End Rept 2005.doc 1 Joanne Bengtson - Year End Rep! 2005 doc Page 2 • On December 1, the City signed a contract with OTAK, Inc. of Lake Oswego for Phase I Streetscape design. OTAK, Inc. will provide comprehensive design services for three major Downtown streets (Burnham St., Main St., Commercial St.), five (5) gateway intersections, and existing City-owned open spaces. • On December 13, City Council will address a resolution to schedule a May ballot measure authorizing the use of Tax Increment Financing for Downtown public improvements. • Staff has set up a Streetscape Working Group to work with the consultant over a 6 month timeframe to evaluate design alternatives. • The City of Tigard was awarded the Good Governance Award by the League of Oregon Cities for its citizen planning effort for the Tigard Downtown Improvement Program. The award is given out to only one City annually. • TriMet has provided a preliminary design for the Commuter Rail Station platform in Downtown Tigard. Metro UGB Expansion During the year, staff met with the County Administrator and other County staff to discuss the planning needs of the two UGB expansion areas. The City followed-up with a letter to the County Administrator outlining the conditions under which the City would agree to undertake the Metro-required concept planning for these areas. These conditions include: 1. Amendment of the Urban Planning Area Agreement (UPAA) to add the UGB Areas and to assign comprehensive planning authority for the entire Urban Services Area to the City of Tigard. 2. Amendment of the UPAA or ordinance provisions requiring the adoption of the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan into the County land use system. 3. Agreement on a strategy to assure the future annexation of the entire planning area. 4. Agreement on the level of support the County would contribute toward the development, production, and adoption of the needed planning. The mayor forwarded a letter to the County Commissioners addressing the need for integrated Comprehensive Planning for the entire planning and UGB area. At year's end, the long-standing issue of which jurisdiction would undertake planning for the UGB areas continued to be under discussion between the two jurisdictions. TriMet Commuter Rail According to the Tigard/TriMet MOU for increasing transit ridership in Tigard, the construction and operation of Commuter Rail is the City and Agency's first Tigard- specific transit priority. The issue of the federal share of Commuter Rail funding was resolved with the September 2005 passage of the Federal Transportation Bill. The bill included federal funding for commuter rail construction and assures full funding for the project. At year's end, TriMet was waiting to conclude a Full Funding Grant Agreement for the receipt of the federal funds. The currently expected rail service startup date is September 2008. 1ACDADMUERREBReportsWear End Rept 2005.doc 2 Joanne Bengtson - Year End Rept 2005 doc Page 3 Service Improvements Although no service improvements were carried out during the year, five Tigard-area service improvements were included in the 2005-2006 TriMet Transit Investment Plan. TriMet proposes to implement these improvements as funds become available. 1. Frequent Service (lines that run every 15 minutes) on Line 76-Greenburg, between Beaverton Transit Center and Meridian Park Hospital in Tualatin. When implemented, Line 76 will be the second Frequent Line operating in Tigard, after Line 12, HWY 99W. 2. Consider service on Hall Boulevard north of Pacific Highway when Line 76 becomes Frequent (possibly by rerouting 78 from Greenburg to Hall). Although bordered by many lower-rent apartments, a large portion of Hall north of Pacific Highway is without transit at this time. 3. Reroute Line 38 to serve Bonita Road and Hall terminating at Tigard Transit Center. Due to Agency funding shortfalls, the scheduled implementation of this improvement in 2005 was postponed. 4. Extend Line 45 down Hunziker and 72nd Avenue, terminating at Tualatin Transit Center to replace service lost by rerouting Line 38. This improvement is contingent on the Line 38 reroute. 5. Serve the Barrows Road area (possibly by reallocating Line 92 loop service in Murray Hills). This would include providing express or peak hour service for commuters.. TriMet is committed to serving the fast growing Barrows Road area, but not to a specific project. During the period, TriMet and City staff also were involved in long term service planning. This included modeling 17 service options that would address service needs on 10 corridors in Tigard. Capital Improvements The following transit-related capital improvements were funded and/or designed in 2005. 1. Tigard was awarded $137,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to finance sidewalk improvements on Hall Boulevard, between the non-profit Washington Square Village and Spruce Street. In addition to improving neighborhood pedestrian safety and livability, the project will provide safe access to future transits stops on Hall Boulevard north of HWY 99W, when Line 78 is rerouted to serve Hall Boulevard. TriMet Executive Director Fred Hansen provided a letter in support of this project. 2. The City allocated $80,000 in CIP funds to install sidewalk on Hall Boulevard opposite Bonita Road in anticipation of future Line 38 service. This project is in the preliminary design stage. Construction is scheduled for early 2006. 3. Tigard, in partnership with TriMet, applied for $168,000 in FY 06/07 CDBG funds to construct transit-oriented sidewalk improvements on both sides of Garrett Street, between Ash Avenue and HWY 99W. The completed sidewalk will provide safe access to bus stops on HWY 99W. These stops average more than 100 boardings per weekday. 4. TriMet and City staff identified and prioritized citywide sidewalk infill needs near 1ACDADMUERREERReportsWear End Rept 2005.doc 3 Joanne Bengtson Year End Rept 2005.doc Page 4 transit stops. The same is true of citywide transit shelter needs. 5. TriMet looked at needs and suitable locations for semi-seats and solar overhead lights at several transit stops along Pacific HWY 99W. Semi-seats are seats that attach to powerline poles and accommodate two people waiting for the bus. 6. TriMet generated general design and cost information for a retaining wall and shelter pad at the Bull Mountain/HWY 99W stop. The improvement would address the seasonal problem of mud flow onto the bus stop area. The cost of the improvement is in the $50,000 range. This project will be recommended for inclusion in the 06/07 Tigard CIP plan. Transit-related improvements initiated by the private sector during the year included Obie Media's City-approved installation of some 35 advertising benches and trash containers at various locations within the City. Although these are not the so-called premium or high quality benches installed by TriMet, the benches do fill a need in the community. Highway 217 Corridor Study Metro initiated a study to develop a series of transportation strategies for Hwy 217 in 2002. Tigard staff is part of the Technical Advisory Committee and has continued to participate throughout 2005. Tigard's primary focus is on the implementation of the study and its impact on the Washington Square Regional Center connectivity to the local and regional transportation system. The study consisted of two phases. Phase I was finalized in November 2004 with the adoption of three alternatives for further study in 2005. All three options included the braided ramps and a new trough lane. Phase II of the study focused on financing and phasing opportunities for each option. The package of recommended next steps developed in Phase II include additional Hwy 217 traffic lanes, Highway 217 interchanges and corridor arterial improvements. Metro is scheduled to make a final decision on the recommendations during the months of December and January. Goal 5 Natural Resource Protection Program - Tualatin Basin Partners for Natural Places Tualatin Basin Partners for Natural Places is an alliance of local governments in Washington County, which includes the City of Tigard, working under an IGA with Metro to meet federal and state (Goal 5) requirements for protecting natural resources. In April 2005, the Tualatin Basin Natural Resources Coordinating Committee (NRCC), comprised of elected officials and representatives from partner jurisdictions, voted to send on to Metro their recommended Goal 5 program. The goal of the Basin effort is to improve the overall environmental health of the Tualatin Basin. To achieve this goal, the Basin program is built upon four primary components: revenue for capital improvements, existing regulation, voluntary efforts, and administration/monitoring. 1ACDADMWERREBReportsWear End Rept 2005.doc 4 Joanne Bengtson Year End Rept 2005 doc Page 5 i The Tualatin Basin Goal 5 program has been evolving since 2002. In the fall of 2004, a preliminary program was nearing approval; however, two intervening events caused the NRCC to embark on an altered course of action. One event was a revised policy direction from the Metro Council to turn to a more voluntary and incentive-based approach to resource protection. The other was the passage by voters of Measure 37, challenging the authority of local land-use agencies to adopt new land use regulations. As a result, at their February 2005 meeting, the NRCC provided direction for a revised Basin approach that would augment existing regulatory programs with an investment strategy for future improvements, as well as a commitment for continued cooperation among Basin Partners. In May 2005, the Metro Council decided to accept the Basin program and include it as a compliance option in the Functional Plan amendments. The final decision by Metro Council to incorporate the Basin program into the Regional 'Nature in Neighborhoods' Program was made on September 19, 2005. In the IGA with Metro, the Basin Partners agreed to implement applicable elements of the adopted Basin program within one year following the Metro Council's final decision (or by September 2006). The two primary program tasks that will require local ordinance adoption for implementation include: 1) the development of a model ordinance to address a menu of several low impact development (LID) / habitat-friendly approaches and the inclusion of LID guidelines in local development codes, and 2) removal of current impediments to the implementation of LID techniques. In addition, the permit process shall be streamlined to allow beneficial activities. The NRCC will continue to function for the long term, overseeing the coordination of natural resource protection projects to meet the overall goal of improving the environmental health of the Tualatin Basin. Affordable Housing Tax abatement is one of the City's strategies for facilitating affordable housing in the community. Its purpose is to allow the managers of low-income housing to decrease annual operating expenses, thereby allowing them to serve lower-income households. The year 2005 was the tenth anniversary of the City's program. Tigard continues to be the only jurisdiction within Washington County to provide a tax exemption for affordable housing. Under the program rules, the owners of properties receiving the exemption are required to reapply each year. In 2005, the Tigard-based Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) submitted separate applications for low-income housing tax exemptions for the three properties it owns and manages inside the City. Council reviewed and approved these three requests. 2005 was the third year of the City's affordable housing Fee Subsidy Program. This program is designed to reduce fees and charges imposed on affordable housing acquisition, development, and rehabilitation. During the year, Council awarded $9,915 1ACDADWERREBReportsWear End Rept 2005.doc 5 Joanne Bengtson Year End Rept 2005.doc Page 6 , to the CPAH to offset building permit fees for major repairs to the 84-unit CPAH-owned Greenburg Oaks Apartments. Lastly, Council provided $15,000 toward the operation of the Tigard-based Good Neighbor Center serving homeless families in the community. Grant Search and Assistance In early 2006, the City was awarded $136,725 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to construct sidewalks along Hall Boulevard between the Village at Washington Square Apartments and Spruce Street. Construction is scheduled for early 2006. Tigard was awarded $385,000 through the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) to finance a portion of the Washington Square Greenbelt Trail. Design and construction are scheduled for 2006. Tigard applied for but was not award MTIP funds ($100,000) for a trail study and master plan for the 2.8 mile Barrows/Tualatin River section of the 16-mile regional Powerline Trail. The City requested $418,388 in Transportation Enhancement Funds to complete the Woodard Park Fanno Creek Trail segment. The City's project advanced to the final cut list, but was not among the 13 projects statewide picked for TE funding. The City will apply for TE funds again in spring 2006, when a call for projects is expected. ODOT administers the federally-funded TE program in Oregon. In late 2005, the City applied for $158,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to provide continuous sidewalks along both sides of Garrett Street between Ash Avenue and HWY 99W. The project selection process extends through early 2006.

The Oak Apartments are still under construction. The Washington Square Mall expansion was completed, as well as Alberta Rider Elementary School and several smaller office complexes. The residential activity in the Urban Services area has increased and we have collected about 45% of the projected year-end revenues through the first five months of the fiscal year. The residential activity in Tigard was at a high level and is projected to increase in the next year. We have several large projects that are either currently under construction or are in the city's review process. Some of these are a four-story office building with a parking garage and 2-two story offices in the Tigard Triangle, 140 unit Canterbury Crest Condominiums, a three story mini storage building, 47 unit Oak Street Condominiums, and well over 400 single-family lots on line, either in Planning, Engineering, or Building Division review.

The enclosed information provides an overview of Volunteer Program activities and trends during 2005. Outreach and Recruitment • The October 15 Make A Difference Day events was a multi-department outreach and project implementation effort. Event outreach was conducted through websites, newsletters, presentations, events calendar, and flyers. 109 volunteers participated in restoration project activities and a Tigard Library shelving party. • A FY 2005-06 Master Volunteer Opportunity List was developed and distributed to increase public awareness and involvement. An updated version of the list may be accessed through a Volunteer Program webpage link. • An average of 14 new volunteers joined the Library's Volunteer program during 2005, up from 12 per month in 2004 (14% increase). Library volunteers included people from Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Iran, Thailand, China, Latin America, India and Japan. • Volunteer Program outreach including business contacts. One intern recruitment meeting with Finance Department staff and the Ajilon employee recruiting firm representatives occurred on August 22. A current list of volunteer opportunities was sent to Comcast Inc. public affairs staff. Volunteers: • During 2005, volunteers in the Police Department's Police Reserves Program have been active in a wide variety of services including traffic control at major accidents, vacation home checks, high school football basketball traffic direction, bicycle patrols, and providing assistance at special events such as the Tigard Balloon Festival, Halloween on Main Street, and 2005 Family Festival. Total 2005 Police Reserve Program volunteer involvement will approach or exceed 4,000 hours. • Volunteer positions at the library now number 44. New volunteer positions include Volunteer Shelving Training Assistant (helps new shelvers with procedures and added training), Special Needs Volunteer Facilitator (assists special needs volunteers to be successful), Ongoing Book sale Manager (reports to the Friends of the Library to stock the lobby sale), and Local History Docent (works with staff on projects related to Tigard history and/or staffs the Local History room). At the Tigard Library adult volunteers contributed 11,431 hours in 2005 (17.5% increase). • During 2005 new non-Library volunteer positions have included Graphic Arts Assistants (2), Neighborhood Watch Assistant, Traffic Accident Analyzer, Enhanced Neighborhood Project Contact List Developer, Assistant Grant Writers (2), Restoration Project Assistant, Spanish Translator Volunteer, Skate Fest Community Services Placement, and Engineering / Courts Volunteer. Clerical volunteer placement effort has enhanced through advance scheduling of clerical placements and active development of new opportunities. • The Public Works Volunteer Program component transitioned to a proactive stance by clearly defining the Adopt-A-Street/Path/Stream, and Eagle Scout programs. Recruitment tools were developed and implemented for each of these programs. Volunteers: • In response to new trends Volunteer Program staff practiced adaptive management including home based volunteers that are involved in graphic arts, proposal development, or translating materials during their non- work time. Flexibility in managing volunteers is increasingly important since individuals who may have volunteered while seeking employment are securing jobs at a quicker rate and adjusting their volunteer involvement accordingly. • The total number of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteers expanded to 45 in 2005 with 18 new graduates. These volunteers staff CERT teams in all four quadrants of the Tigard. During 2005 CERT volunteers provided support for the Balloon Festival and Heritage Days events. • The Annual Volunteer Recognition event was held on June 28 in the Community Room at the Tigard Library. Nearly ninety individuals enjoyed food, live music and City Council comments. Current Activities and Future Proiects: • Volunteer Program Public Works staff continue to support large group maintenance activities at the Summerlake, Rhododendron Garden, Butterfly Garden, and Cook Park wetlands sites. Volunteer activities included raking, mulching, pruning, planting, and weed removal. • Beginning in January, 2005, the Library hosted quarterly work parties for volunteers. Between 64 and 10 volunteers attended each event. Alternating between pizza (Friday nights after closing) and morning pastries (Saturday morning before opening), over 300 hours of total work has been performed at these 4 events. • Volunteer Program volunteers have provided extended assistance to the Neighborhood Watch and Enhanced Neighborhood Pilot Program. Primary assistance has involved organizing and updating contact information. This volunteer also verified current involvement levels for Neighborhood Watch. • Public Works Volunteer program staff sponsored 4 large volunteer events to support native area restoration within the City including "Down by the Riverside", "Washington County Clean and Green", SOLV IT (Earth Day), and a kickoff event for Clean Water Services "Community Tree Planting Challenge". During 2005, a state of the art volunteer / tool trailer was purchased and outfitted for deployment these restoration projects. Eventually the trailer will be painted for volunteer recruitment and recognition purposes. • The development and adoption of draft Volunteer Management Guidelines provides a common framework for volunteer recruitment, placement, and supervision across department boundaries. It is designed to address specific volunteer management topics while recognizing that departments will have individualized projects and processes. • The Volunteer Program identified department needs to translate certain documents into Spanish. Outreach and recruitment efforts have resulted in one Spanish translator who has successfully translated contracts and brochures into Spanish. Additional work will include translating Emergency Operations information into Spanish for website purposes. • Volunteer Program staff developed and revised Committee, Task Forces and Commissions guidelines to facilitate public outreach, interview processing, and appointments. Staff also directly support the appointment process itself. Volunteer Program employees are working to develop alternative placement options for applicants who are not recommended for appointments to utilize their interest and energy. Current Activities and Future Proiects: • Volunteer Program staff contacted and met with Southridge High School staff to explore potential partnerships. A promotional video project is in the planning stages. A second meeting was held with a Tigard Tualatin High School student to discuss volunteer recruitment strategies. • The Volunteer Program is developing the capacity to help department staff research and produce grant proposals. Foundation directory software has been loaded onto the volunteer work station computer for general research. Assistant Grant Writer position descriptions have been developed and distributed to local colleges and universities. One current volunteer will be assisting Public Works staff on proposal development. • Lastly, a format for analyzing library volunteer retention over the next few years has been developed. Nationally, a recognized trend is toward more volunteers contributing fewer "regular" or weekly hours, and more "episodic" volunteering, that is, scattered hours here and there. However, the library is experiencing the opposite more volunteers are signing up for more weekly volunteering and each volunteer is contributing more hours (an increase of 10% per person from 2004). 2005 Internal and Community Referrals: • American Red Cross (1) • CAT Adoption Team (4) • Community Partners For Affordable Housing (1) • King City - City Hall (1) • Luk Dorf Center (1) • Oct. 15 Make A Difference Day Projects (3) • Oregon Food Bank (5) • Oregon Literacy (1) • Tigard Library - Adult Community Services (5) • Tigard Police Dep.

MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON. DATE: December 15, 2005 TO: Dennis Koellermeier, Public Works Director FROM: Brian Rager,'Assistant Public Works Director RE: 2005 End of Year Report - Public Works The following are statements about projects for 2004: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ASR #2 ASR #2 well is located at the 10 MG reservoir site on SW Bull Mountain Road at SW 125th Avenue. The well drilling was completed in July 2004 and the aquifer was tested in August 2004. The testing revealed that this will be a very productive well with an expected production rate of at least 2.5 MGD. Groundwater Solutions Inc., in a joint project with Murray Smith and Associates (MSA), completed the production of final plans and specifications in March 2005. In April, the city with the assistance of MSA underwent a process to solicit bids, review proposals and selected a contractor. Schneider equipment was selected as the contractor to implement the design of the ASR 2 Well House and signed into a contract z. with the city as of June 2005. July 12th a preconstruction meeting was held in order to officially kick off the construction phase of this project. As of r. December, the civil, electrical and plumbing aspects of the project are near completion. Building construction and mechanical installation are „ K expected to commence late December or early January.' SCADA The current SCADA telemetry system for the city's municipal potable water system is nearing the end of its service life and will need to be replaced. The current telemetry system consists of a Master Telemetry Unit (MTU) located in the city office communicating to 14 Remote Telemetry Units (RTU) over leased telephone lines. Public Works Accomplishments - 2005 Page 1 There are several factors affecting the reliability and usability of the current system including but not limited to the following: (1) The Aquatrol SCADA telemetry system is built on old technology making maintenance difficult, (2) The Prosoft Interface to the Master Telemetry Unit (MTU) is implemented through a personal computer (PC) with a proprietary DOS application, (3) Spare parts for the system are not available locally and must be ordered from the factory, and (4) Additional control hardware is required at several remote sites due to the limited capabilities of the current system. In general, the current antiquated and substandard SCADA system can no longer provide the service and reliability that is demanded by a large and complex municipal potable water system. Over the last half of 2005, city staff has been r ;r ~$~xt x w z orking diligently to assess current system deficiencies, future system requirements and cost effective solutions. In July of this year, Portland Engineering Incorporated (PEI) was hired to provide a scope for the city to use in the solicitation of design and specifications to replace the current outdated SCADA system. During this process, city staff recommended that PEI be directly hired based ~a on their efficient and professional services provided to the Joint Water Commission, which Tigard is an active partner. After obtaining city Council approval, working with the city's purchasing department, and contract review from city's attorneys, the city signed into contract in December with PEI to provide design-build services for the a new SCADA system WATER OPERATIONS Water line Replacement in Kinq City The water division replaced 13 waterlines this past summer in preparation for a road project in King City. Our crews replaced older 2-inch steel water lines with new 4-inch ductile iron pipe. The older pipe was installed in the early 1970's and was starting to fail. Total amount of pipe replaced was 2,340-feet, along with the replacement of a few isolation water valves. Water Valve Maintenance The water division started a first round of valve maintenance in the city's water service area. The program consists of inspecting all valves in the city to ensure the valves: • are visible • are accessible, so crews can get to the valve nut with a valve wrench, and • have documented measurements to fixed objects, so crews can locate the valve. even if buried.

The design was "tweaked" and construction drawings were completed. Although the city did not receive the $150,000 construction grant from the State of Oregon, fundraising continues. The upcoming budget process will undoubtedly include new funding sources or increases in current funding sources. The Fanno Creek Park trail segment from Hall Boulevard to the future Wall Street has been reconfigured and the state grant amount was lowered to $20,000. Total project cost is $70,000. The trail has been completed and the bridge will be constructed prior to June 30, 2006. The trail is approximately 1,500 feet long. The city's parks and open space acquisition program includes the evaluation of over 40 properties in and out of the city limits. The Council appropriated approximately $2.1 million to acquire parks and open spaces. The recommended properties and associated usages cover four main areas: • greenway property • "active" park property (playgrounds, basketball courts/tennis courts/etc.) • potential "active/greenway" property • "other' properties not included in the original evaluation process Building Maintenance Building maintenance staff accomplished the following in 2005: • rekeyed library, police department and permit center buildings • rekeyed all equipment locks, parks and water facility sites. • replaced gutters at City Hall, police and Permit Center buildings • improved security gates at public works (new operator/pads & maglocks) J) a`. a l kMr . a - I M. 7 r A J~ l • added new controls to 3 police department HVAC units Public Works Accomplishments - 2005 Page 7 • refinished wood floor in the dining area at the Senior Center ,i.. y tJ 3 • cleaned HVAC ducts at the Senior Center • upgraded fire alarm systems at City Hall, police and Permit Center buildings • improved security/access systems at City Hall and the Permit Center • other minor improvements (e.g. new back door at City Hall, new water heater at the Water Building and shops, garbage can screening/fence at the Permit Center, etc.) URBAN FORESTRY • Total number of trees planted 19,589 • Evaluated 48 hazardous trees, twenty-two of which were left partially standing (as snags) for wildlife habitat. • Street Trees planted: 84 • Ecosystem restoration trees planted: 19,505 • Conducted 39 tree protection plan reviews for development projects. • Major projects: - three volunteer native tree planting projects - removed and controlled 45 acres of non-native vegetation - accomplished the National Arbor Day Foundation's four requirements for the Tree City USA program - assisted Tree Board in: ■ generating comments for Chapter 18 revisions ■ developing and finalizing the Heritage Tree Program ■ adding another citizen-at-large to the Board - developed partnership with Friends of Trees to: ■ plant five acres of riparian buffer in Englewood Park along Hiteon Creek ■ plant three acres of riparian buffer in Bonita Park along Fanno Creek Public Works Accomplishments - 2005 Page 8 - worked closely with Surface Water Quality Coordinator to begin native ecosystem restoration projects in three locations: ■ Cook Park - 27 acres ■ Derry Dell Creek - 9 acres ■ Hiteon Creek - 6 acres - increased number of native plantings by 300 plants in Fanno Creek Park along Fanno Creek - attended a Disaster Planning Workshop in Eugene, OR - developed a Debris Management Plan, in the event of a major storm Public Works Accomplishments - 2005 Page 9 a s o o U~.l"~l~ a VI1 ° o ~U°RIUU~` a a o f ~ o a Q o a a~• a o~'a o a" o o(~' 0 0 0 ~v. 1* Although the Library opened in 2004, a major piece of through the field, view wildlife, then stop into the Library to the construction project was completed at the end of 2005 check out a book about the egret that just flew over their when a traffic signal was installed at the Library entrance. heads. j 4 The traffic signal helps drivers entering and leaving the * When not transformed into some exotic locale fora 4 Library, and pedestrians can cross Nall Blvd. safely in the library program, the Community Room provided meeting crosswalk. space for a variety of groups and organizations.

The revenue received after the first full year of collections is at or slightly above the target revenue estimate of $800,000. Pavement overlay projects were implemented in summer 2004, spring 2005 and summer 2005. Some of the major overlay projects completed include 121St Avenue from Walnut Street to Springwood Drive and overlay projects adjacent to 121St Avenue in the Walnut Island. Scheduled for implementation in the spring of 2006 is an overlay of Greenburg Road from Tiedeman Avenue east to Highway 99W. Proposed New Funding for Major Street Projects Following the successful implementation of the Street Maintenance Fee, the Task Force was reconstituted by Council and has met ten times since August 2004 to discuss potential funding sources for major street projects. The Task Force requested information on the potential revenues a local gas tax could raise and on the process for establishing and collecting such a 'tax. Options considered by the Task Force ranged from a one-cent tax to a five-cent tax. Council met with the Task Force at the workshop session on February 15, 2005 to provide direction on project priorities and to discuss potential new funding sources that the Task Force should evaluate for funding these projects. At this meeting, the Task Force recommended exploration of a local gas tax as a potential revenue source to possibly address one or more high-priority projects. Council seemed receptive to the idea of a local gas tax, but stressed that it needs to be tied to high priority projects that have broadbased citizen support. At the July 26, 2005 meeting, the Task Force officially recommended adoption of a three=cent local gas tax once high priority projects targeted at relieving congestion on Highway 99W are identified and selected. The TGM (Transportation and Growth Management) grant-funded Highway 99W Corridor Improvement and Management Plan, when completed, is expected to present a package of projects (both large and small) for consideration. The Task Force proposed to take the lead in developing and implementing a public involvement plan for selection of projects. The local gas tax proposal can be considered later when Council feels comfortable with the project list and with the extent of community support for passage. Federal Grants The City was successful in obtaining $430,020 in federal MTIP (Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program) funding for the Washington Square Regional Center trail project. Of this amount, $74,256 was designated for Preliminary Engineering and $198,735 was allocated for Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 1 of 21 1 right-of-way acquisition for a total of $272,991 on these two funding categories. As City staff began the process to obligate the funds for the project design, it became evident that this project is not yet at a stage where funding for the design could be obligated. A pre-design planning phase is needed to provide sufficient information to submit a detailed project prospectus. To eliminate the need to redistribute the MTIP allocations to include a pre-design planning phase, and as recommended by Metro and ODOT staff, the City requested that MTIP funds ($250,671 including the appropriate local match) for the trail project be redirected to the Tualatin River Pedestrian Bridge project and that the entire MSTIP funding committed to the pedestrian bridge be applied to the Washington Square Regional Center Trail project. The MSTIP 3 funding will be used to perform the planning, design and right-of-way acquisition phases while reserving the remaining federal funds strictly for construction of the trail. This substitution of funds for the two projects would avoid the additional step of reallocating MTIP funds to provide a planning phase, which is a process ODOT has approved in concept but has not actually implemented to this point. The MSTIP 3 funding of $250,671 will be sufficient to perform the planning, design and land acquisition using the City's local procurement process. The City will ensure (in close coordination with ODOT) that all Federal requirements are met as part of the process to complete the pre-design, design and right-of-way acquisition phases. Changes to PFI Permit Fee Structure As of July 1, 2005, the Public Facility Improvement (PFI) Permit fee structure changed from a "cost recovery" structure to a flat fee of five percent of the estimated cost of the public facility improvement, with a minimum fee of $300.00. The new fee will be imposed on all PFI applications for private development projects and for all work in City rights-of-way, except certain small projects such as limited driveway and sidewalk repair, sprinkler system installation and repair, street tree pruning, and similar maintenance and small repairs that are exempt from the fee. The new fee structure will generate revenues that will come closer to covering the City's actual cost of PFI project review and inspection and will eliminate the administrative burden of the current fee structure, which required staff to track and record time spent on over 100 ongoing projects. Since FY 2000-01, under the former fee structure, permit fee revenue on average covered only 47.9 percent of actual City costs. While the annual revenue from the new fee structure will vary based on the estimated value of the projects in the City each year (as was the case with the former structure), based on the estimated value of projects each year since 2000, the proposed flat fee structure would have generated an average of $266,765.20 per year, which is 122 percent higher than the average revenue actually received from FY 2000-01 to FY 2003-04. With an estimated annual cost of $250,733.15 during that period, the five percent flat fee structure would have, on average, covered the City's costs for private development services. Thus, it is anticipated that the new fee structure will be more effective in covering the City's actual costs of administering and providing services for the PFI Permit system.

Bull Mountain Road (at Hwy 99W) This project widens the existing eastbound right-turn lane on Bull Mountain Road to improve turning movements and capacity. To construct the improvements, various infrastructures within the work limits will require relocation including storm drainage & sanitary sewer facilities and streetlights. The conceptual design is being reviewed by Washington County. Construction is scheduled to be completed by July 2006. Commercial Street (at Main Street) This project was completed using the Gas Tax Fund to provide a safer turning radus for vehicles turning right onto Main Street from Commercial Street. The northeast curb return radius was enlarged from less than 15 feet to 30 feet. In addition to this improvement, the curb/sidewalk was replaced and the deteriorated pavement at this intersection was rehabilitated. The intersection was then painted with new crosswalk striping. •A ~ .s MainlCommercial (Before) MainlCommercial (After) Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 3 of 21 Commercial Street Sidewalk - Phase 1 (Lincoln to Main Street) This project involves construction of half -street improvement with sidewalk on the north side of the street.

Completion of the project would provide a safe and convenient pedestrian access to downtown services and the planned commuter rail station. Design is currently underway with construction scheduled to begin in the summer of 2006. This schedule, however, is contingent on the City's acquisition of railroad right-of-way.

Whenever the gaps in the traffic flow are infrequent, the left-turn movement becomes highly difficult and is often unsafe. The problem will become worse as the residential developments along 108th south of Durham are completed and generate an increase in traffic volumes at this intersection. A traffic study conduted by a consultant indicates a signal is warranted at the intersection. The design will be a joint effort between City staff and a traffic consultant to produce a set of design plans ready for bids in the early summer of 2006.

Some a`te` existing telephone and power poles will be relocated to provide space for the new sidewalks. The project will be funded by CDBG funds with local matching funds provided by the City. Construction is Hall Blvd - Sidewalk needed scheduled for the spring of 2006. Hall Blvd Sidewalk (at Bonita) This project is one of the sidewalk improvement projects funded by the Gas Tax fund in FY 2005-06. The intent is to fill gaps between existing sidewalks and to enhance pedestrian access to transit stops. A new sidewalk which will be installed on the west side of Hall Blvd across from Bonita Road, will be constructed be wide enough to accommodate a bus shelter to be installed by Tri-Met in the future, if needed. The design of the project is underway and will be advertised for bids in February 2006. Hall Blvd at McDonald Traffic Study The first phase of this project is the design and acquisition of right-of-way for construction of a southbound right-turn lane on Hall Boulevard at McDonald Street, as required by the conditions of approval for the development of the Library. In addition to widening the street, curb and sidewalk are proposed along the new segment of the street to improve pedestrian safety. An ODOT permit will be required for the design and construction of the project. A traffic study will be conducted to identify required design elements that need to be incorporated into the project. The preliminary design is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled for FY 2006-07. Hall Blvd Signalization This project is part of the Hall Blvd/Wall Street - Phase 2 project involving construction of a portion of Wall Street east of Hall Blvd to provide joint access for the library and the Fanno Pointe condominiums. That project included installation of a traffic signal system at the Hall Blvd/Wall Street intersection. Because of the lengthy process envisioned for the issuance of a Sensitive Lands permit for construction of Wall Street and because pedestrian safety is a major concern at the library entrance, the project was sub-divided into two phases to accelerate the completion of the signal. Construction of the signal began in July 2005 and is anticipated to be completed by December 2005. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 6 of 21 Highway 99W Corridor Improvement & Management Plan Highway 99W carries over 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic. This highway is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. There are no significant parallel routes to this highway, and the traffic congestion will continue to worsen as traffic increases during the next few years. The intersections of Highway 99W with Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, and McDonald Street are bottlenecks that seriously hamper the smooth flow of traffic. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's collector and arterial system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This traffic adversely impacts the arterial and collector street system in the City. The City has received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the plan. The development of the plan is anticipated to begin in April 2006. The study will evaluate various alternatives for improvement of the highway (including development of new parallel routes and connections that can feasibly be made between developments parallel to the highway) between Durham Road and Interstate 5. The intent of the study is to address current traffic deficiencies, present design alternatives and propose strategies that would provide for effective traffic circulation, connectivity and operational improvements to the highway and its corridor. The study would provide a plan for management of the corridor and a package of projects (both large and small) that can be implemented over a period of years as funding sources are identified and designated for these projects. McDonald Street (at Hwy 99W) McDonald Street is classified as a collector carrying over 8,500 vehicles per day. The Hwy 99W/Gaarde St/McDonald Street intersection operated at an unacceptable level of service and long queues tended to form on the Gaarde and McDonald legs of the intersection. The City of Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) calls for the intersection to be improved. ' The Hwy 99W/Gaarde Street intersection was improved as part of the Gaarde Street - Phase 2 project completed in 2004. This McDonald Street Improvement project, which was recently completed in August 2005, has resulted in a ,:M? considerably improved level of service at the intersection.

McDonald Street, after improvements, has dedicated left-turn and right-turn lanes, and west- bound and east-bound through lanes that provide east-west movement of traffic at the intersection without impacting the traffic performance of the highway. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 7 of 21 . North Dakota Crosswalk This project, which began in early March to It 2005, involved the installation of a mid- block crosswalk for pedestrians to walk between the two trail segments, which are approximately 350 apart at the North Dakota Street connection. The street was widened on the north side, which required the installation of a 12-inch storm drain pipe to replace an existing ditch and accommodate the widening. The new crosswalk has been striped with a high visibility pattern and North Dakota Crosswalk signed accordingly. The project was completed by Accord Construction in early May 2005. Pavement Major Maintenance Program (for FY 2004-05) The City of Tigard has been hard at work this entire summer on street maintenance projects funded through the Street Maintenance Fee. This new fee provides a stable source of revenue to help the City address a considerable backlog in street maintenance projects. When applied early, preventative maintenance treatments used as part of a pavement preservation strategy will cost significantly less than the reconstruction & rehabilitation of streets that are allowed to deteriorate. II ' 72nd Avenue (Before) 72nd Avenue (After) The program for FY 2004-05 was divided into two phases. Phase 1 was completed in the summer of 2004 and Phase 2 was completed this past spring. Both included overlay treatments on: Phase] Phase 2 ■ 66th Ave (south of Oak Street) 72°d Ave (Hwy 217 to Fir Lp) ■ 67th Ave (south of Oak Street) 121St Ave (Springwood to Ann St) ■ 72nd Ave (Spruce to Oak Street) ■ 110th Ave (Fairhaven to Park) There was approximately 25,000 SY or ■ Derry Dell Court (Park to Watkins Ave) 2800 tons of asphalt concrete placed on the ■ James Ct (west of Howard Drive) streets. ■ Park Street (110th to Watkins Ave) ■ Ventura Ct (Barbara Ln to Ventura Dr) Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 8 of 21 Pavement Major Maintenance Program (for FY 2005-06) The Fiscal Year 2005-06 program began in July 2005 with Phase 1, which included: ■ 66th Ave (Taylor's Ferry Rd to end) ■ 69th Ave (North of Oak ■ 89th Ave (Spruce St to end) ' ■ 98th Ave (Murdock St to Sattler St) ■ 109th Ave (Naeve to end) ■ 124th Ave (Marion St to James St) t ■ Alberta St (121st Ave to end) x ■ Elmhurst St (121st Ave to end ■ James St (121 st Ave to 124th Ave) w ■ Jefferson St (South of Locust) ■ Katherine (128th Ave east 400ft) .F ■ Marion St (121st Ave to 124th Ave) Murdock St (103rd to Elementary School entrance) Thorn Street (Before) ■ Pfaffle/Hall Blvd (intersection) ■ Spruce St (Hall Blvd to 89th Ave) ■ Thorn Street (89th Avenue to end) In addition to providing treatments on existing paved streets, the City also paves gravel streets such at 89th ~f 1 Avenue, 109th Avenue and Thorn Street to eliminate K future maintenance costs, which may increase greatly when the streets are not maintained in a timely =:a Nr manner. (1 Thorn Street (After) Yr.L' Phase 2 is currently under design and will " include: • 69th Parkway (99W to Haines St) ■ 136th Ct (Walnut Ln to end) ■ Greenburg Rd (Center St to N.

The street has no shoulders, ; sidewalks or curbs. The pavement surface has extensive longitudinal and transverse pattern cracking and numerous patches along the travel lanes. It also has an inadequate drainage.system and two significant curves that limit visibility and speeds. The main goal of this project is to reconstruct the street to provide proper drainage and improve rideability. Construction of the improvements is scheduled for late spring of 2006. Pine Street at west end Ultimate improvements to the street including correction of the existing curves, installation of sidewalks and construction of the street to the ultimate width, will be performed in the future when funding is available. School Zone Signing This is a Citywide upgrade to all school signing to alert drivers when they are entering and leaving the school zones. This was initiated in compliance with the new state law regarding speeds in school zones. All upgrades were completed in June. Street Striping Program (for FY 2005-06) This is a program to maintain existing striping on City streets to enhance safety and provide proper channelization for traffic movements. Striping, pavement markings and pavement markers were placed on the following streets: ■ 68th Avenue - (Dartmouth St to Atlanta St) ■ 69th Avenue - (Hampton St to Dartmouth St) ■ Bonita Road - (at bridge) fill .,.d' .

Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 10 of 21 Traffic Calming Program (for FY 2004-05) This program focuses on reducing high traffic speeds on residential streets. Speed humps typically reduce speeds by 4 to 6 mph and are frequently requested by residents. The installation of speed humps are a major part of the program. Speed humps are normally installed by the City's Public Works crews during the summer or spring each year. This year's program installed 4 speed humps. The streets which received speed humps are: ■ Fern Street (Ascension Drive to 138th Avenue) - 1 hump ■ Park Street (Walnut to 110th Ave)- 2 humps ■ Summerlake Drive (Scholls Ferry Road to Springwood Drive) - 1 hump SPEE - ,.-..HUMPS If, s No 1 Park Street Park Street (overview) (approaching speed hump) Tualatin River Path This project connects the existing Cook Park pathway to the proposed Tualatin River pedestrian bridge, which is scheduled for construction by the City of Tualatin in 2006. The work includes construction of a 10-foot wide by 5~ t 1350-foot asphaltic concrete pathway with gravel shoulders. Completion of the project will fill a key gap in the existing riverside trail system and provide community access to the future pedestrian bridge. - Construction is scheduled for the spring of 2006. Existing trail condition Wall Street This project constructs a portion of Wall Street to provide common access to Hall Blvd for the library and the Fanno Pointe condominiums as required by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The design of the project is substantially completed. A Sensitive Lands permit application has been submitted to the City. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled to begin in April 2006 and is expected to be completed in December 2006. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 11 of 21 Walnut Street - Phase 3 (135th to 121 st Ave) This project is the last phase of a three-phase project funded through the Washington County MSTIP 3. The first phase constructed the Walnut/Gaarde intersection, widened the approaches & installed a traffic signal at the intersection. The City designed and constructed the project and was reimbursed by Washington County for all costs, excluding water, sanitary sewer and utility improvements. This project was completed in 2001. The second phase improved the Walnut/121st Avenue intersection, which was completed by the County in 2002. Phase 3, which began last spring, widens Walnut to provide 44 feet of paved roadway with two travel lanes, a center turn lane and two bike lanes. Sidewalks will be installed to enhance pedestrian safety. This project also reconfigures the Walnut St/Walnut Ln/135th Ave intersection to improve traffic circulation and correct an unusual three- legged street connection (see Figure 1). Certain improvements, such as extension of sanitary sewer lines on Fern & Walnut Street, are included as part of the project and is funded by the City.

A contract was awarded to Henderson Land Services to design a wall (using bio- engineering concepts) to retain the bank. The consultant will also design a storm drain system to better direct the drainage from the subdivision into the creek. > = All necessary permits will obtained in November and this project will be bid immediately after. Benchview Terrace Maintenance Road Erosion exposing a Sewer Manhole Slope Stabilization (at Quail Hollow West Subdivision) This project is necessary in order to protect a public sanitary sewer line that was installed b rY Y the developer of the Quail Hollow West r; subdivision. The work is located in a natural :.h drainageway flowing through the subdivision. The banks of the drainageway have sloughed _ in certain areas, and threatened to undermine or exposed the sanitary sewer line. In z addition, the erosion of the banks threatens adjacent homes along the top of the banks. The project involved re-grading and stabilizing the slope and re-planting native species and new trees. Elting Northwest, Inc. began Slope Stabilization construction the beginning of May and Initial excavation completed the construction in the middle of October 2005. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 13 of 21 Citywide Sewer Extension Program This 5 year-program, which began in FY 2001-02, extends sanitary sewer services to all developed but un-sewered areas Citywide. The City initiates and completes the sewer extensions, then recoups the total cost of the design and construction via creation of a reimbursement district. As residents connect to the new sewer line, they have to pay their proportionate share of the cost of the line, plus the normal connection fee. The following 5 districts were constructed in 2005 and provided 69 connections to existing homes. ■ 117th Avenue - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 34 ( 4 lots) ■ Ash Avenue - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 36 (9 lots) ■ Fern Street - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No.32 (S lots) ■ O'Mara & Edgewood - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 31 (46 lots) ■ Walnut Street - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 33 (S lots) 4 5_ r , xpi ..I awl ,,mss Fern Street 117th Avenue (After sewer installation & overlay) (After sewer installation & 2-inch overlay) ti if O'Mara Street (Pipe placement at Senior Center) Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 14 of 21 STORM DRAINAGE PROJECTS 70th Avenue Storm Drainage Improvements Over the past several years this area has been i+ _ spy 4 prone to flooding on the downhill side due to j w. excessive runoff from the top of the hill and a a>: limited catch basin collection system. This project involved the installation of approximately 300 LF of pipe, three new catch basins and the'' ' Y~ upgrading of three existing basins. As a part of this project, the street was given a 2-inch asphalt' overlay. y. The project contractor, Paul Lambson Construction, began working on this project in January of 2005 and completed the work at the end of February 2005. 70th Avenue Bonanza Way Erosion Control (south of Riverwood Drive) _ The existing outfall south of Bonanza Way was severely eroded and in need of repair. The outfall pipe was positioned high above the channel therefore causing a large amount of erosion. arm,:'-E`~, r x The City contracted with Clean Water Services to W perform the necessary work to eliminate the erosion problem. The work was completed in late summer 2005. Bonanza Way Erosion Control Improvements Derry Dell Sanitary Sewer Wetland Mitigation This project enhances wetland areas and vegetated corridors along Derry Dell Creek at 110th Avenue. The enhancement is required by environmental permits due to impacts created by the installation of a sanitary sewer pipe across the creek. Willows and Oregon Ash trees have been planted in the work area. Invasive species such as blackberry and English ivy have been removed. As with the Gaarde Mitigation projects above, if the plants survive at required rate, this mitigation work will also be completed in 2008. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 15 of 21 Gaarde St - Phase 2 Wetland Mitigation This project provides mitigation measures that were required by environmental permits to offset the loss of 0.009 acres of wetland associated with the widening of Gaarde Street. Work completed this year includes improvements of 1180 square feet of wetland by removing reed canary grass and establishing a vegetated corridor mitigation plan along the Fanno Creek Greenway immediately north of Tigard Street. If the new plants survive at the rate indicated by . the permit requirements, the mitigation work will be completed in 2008. Highland Drive Storm Drainage The existing storm drainage system on Highland Drive from 109th Ave to approximately 1,100 feet east of the Highland/109th intersection consists of 12-inch pipes that have been crushed in numerous places and are beginning to fail. This project includes installation of new pipes, manholes and upgraded catch basins. In addition to storm drainage improvements, a new pavement overlay will be applied on the street using the Street Maintenance Fee fund. The improvements are scheduled for the spring of 2006 (the project will be advertised for bid as one project). Construction coordination would be more efficient if both projects are handled simultaneously by the same contractor. Rockingham Storm Drain This project replaces an undersized storm drain inlet located near Rockingham Street west of the 132nd/Greenfield Drive intersection. The inlet, which is located at the end of an unnamed tributary creek, was not sized large enough to handle the 3 winter runoff from nearby subdivisions. This project replaces the inlet with an oversized r• manhole and properly directs the runoff into the manhole using a 54-inch metal end section. ,r Construction of the project was completed recently. 1~~^ So far, the system has been operating effectively and should be capable of passing through large amounts of water, if needed, during heavy storms. Installation of Manhole Summerlake Maintenance Bridge Three existing storm drain culverts under a pedestrian path are undersized and are not providing adequate flow during high water periods. It has been determined that installation of a small bridge in place of new culverts would be less restrictive for the flow and would minimize the impacts on the existing wetlands Western Woods Products, has been awarded a contract to supply and install the bridge in January of 2006.

The permits issued covered both minor and major work within the existing rights-of-way with work ranging from utility installations to half-street improvements. The total value of projects covered under these permits is slightly over $6 million. This is approximately 3% less than the $6.25 million in 2004, but substantially more than the $3.6 million in 2003. Based on private development projects already in process and ready to be constructed in 2006, the Engineering staff anticipates that the project valuation level will again be at or near $6 million for 2006. Construction Highlights: The construction activity in 2005 requiring inspection of public improvements has again been mostly residential but did include one new school on Bull Mountain. The Washington Square expansion was an exceptionally large project that provided City revenue through building permit fees. However, the primary beneficiary of the public improvements required from that project is the Oregon Department of Transportation. The following projects are representative of the private development projects with public improvement construction inspected by the Development Review Division inspectors. Half-street improvements were completed along Bull Mountain Road in conjunction with Alberta Rider Elementary School. This project is located south of Bull Mountain Road, just east of 133rd Avenue. The school opened in November 2005. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 18 of 21 Half-street improvements were completed on the north piece of f ` Greenfield Drive, a neighborhood route, from Bull Mountain Road to Beef Bend Road. This is part of the Arbor Summit I t , & II Subdivision Projects. These subdivisions also partnered with Alberta Rider School to complete improvements along their Bull Mountain Road frontage. These two subdivision projects are located just east of the Alberta Rider School project. The two subdivisions will provide 42 new homes. The southern portion of Greenfield Road and half street improvements along Beef Bend Road are part of Bella Vista Subdivision Project. Located on the north side of Beef Bend Road, this project will develop 41 new home lots. This development is also extending the public ' water to better serve this area. l The center section of Greenfield Road (between Bull Mountain Road and Beef Bend Road) was completed as part of the Summit Ridge Subdivision. This 130-lot a subdivision is located south of the ~E Alberta Rider School and the Bella Vista . Subdivision. Phases I, II & III home construction are under way. Construction permits for Phase IV public improvements have been issued. Engineering Department Highlights for Calendar Year 2005 Page 19 of 21 Half-street improvements along 108th = Avenue were completed as part of Oak Treen II Apartments/108th Avenue Improvements. " This development will provide 108 apartment units. The public improvements included widening 108th Avenue, 0: constructing curb, planter strips and sidewalks. In addition left turn refuge was constructed for northbound traffic on 108th turning left onto Durham Road. Improvements to 72nd Avenue were completed as part of the Bridgeport Village Project. The north portion of this develop-ment is within Tigard City Limits. The City of Tigard worked with ' the City of Tualatin, Washington County and ODOT to expedite the construction of Bridgeport Village and the Village r~> Inn. Work included in the City of Tigard were a public sanitary sewer extension, water line improvements and the realignment of 72nd Avenue. The City entered into an IGA with Tualatin to own and maintain the sewer and storm lines that serve this development. The "rte Bridgeport Village site is located at the northwest corner of SW Bridgeport Road and SW 72nd Avenue, west of Interstate ' 5 at the Lower Boones Ferry Road A' interchange (Exit 290). Phase A of the project consists of 13 buildings for retail stores, office, restaurants and a cinema ,w with a total gross floor area of 465,860 s.f. and a 5-level parking structure on the property.

Street Maintenance Fee and Gas Tax funds would be used to fund the project. If approved by Council, the proposed improvements 79th Avenue - looking south would be included in the FY 2006-07 CIP. Bull Mountain Road (at Hwy 99W) This project widens the existing eastbound right-turn lane on Bull Mountain Road to improve turning movements and capacity. To construct the improvements, various infrastructures within the work limits will require relocation including storm drainage & sanitary sewer facilities and streetlights. The conceptual design is being reviewed by Washington County. Construction is scheduled to be completed by July 2006. Commercial Street (at Main Street) This project was completed using the Gas Tax Fund to provide a safer turning radus for vehicles turning right onto Main Street from Commercial Street. The northeast curb return radius was enlarged from less than 15 feet to 30 feet. In addition to this improvement, the curb/sidewalk was replaced and the deteriorated pavement at this intersection was rehabilitated. The intersection was then painted with new crosswalk striping.

Whenever the gaps in the traffic flow are infrequent, the left-turn movement becomes highly difficult and is often unsafe. The problem will become worse as the residential developments along 108th south of Durham are completed and generate an increase in traffic volumes at this intersection. A traffic study conduted by a consultant indicates a signal is warranted at the intersection. The design will be a joint effort between City staff and a traffic consultant to produce a set of design plans ready for bids in the early summer of 2006. Fanno Creek Trail - Segment 713 This segment of trail is art of the (FUTURE) p /`'Am FANNO CREEK TRAIL Fanno Creek Trail system, which runs SEGMENT 7A through the City of Tigard from Beaverton to Tualatin.

Some existing telephone and power poles will be relocated to provide space for the new sidewalks. 'f The project will be funded by CDBG funds with local matching funds provided by the City. Construction is Hall Blvd - Sidewalk needed scheduled for the spring of 2006. Hall Blvd Sidewalk (at Bonita) This project is one of the sidewalk improvement projects funded by the Gas Tax fund in FY 2005-06. The intent is to fill gaps between existing sidewalks and to enhance pedestrian access to transit stops. A new sidewalk which will be installed on the west side of Hall Blvd across from Bonita Road, will be constructed be wide enough to accommodate a bus shelter to be installed by Tri-Met in the future, if needed. The design of the project is underway and will be advertised for bids in February 2006. Hall Blvd at McDonald Traffic Study The first phase of this project is the design and acquisition of right-of-way for construction of a southbound right-turn lane on Hall Boulevard at McDonald Street, as required by the conditions of approval for the development of the Library. In addition to widening the street, curb and sidewalk are proposed along the new segment of the street to improve pedestrian safety. An ODOT permit will be required for the design and construction of the project. A traffic study will be conducted to identify required design elements that need to be incorporated into the project. The preliminary design is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled for FY 2006-07. Hall Blvd Signalization This project is part of the Hall Blvd/Wall Street - Phase 2 project involving construction of a portion of Wall Street east of Hall Blvd to provide joint access for the library and the Fanno Pointe condominiums. That project included installation of a traffic signal system at the Hall Blvd/Wall Street intersection. Because of the lengthy process envisioned for the issuance of a Sensitive Lands permit for construction of Wall Street and because pedestrian safety is a major concern at the library entrance, the project was sub-divided into two phases to accelerate the completion of the signal. Construction of the signal began in July 2005 and is anticipated to be completed by December 2005. Visit the City of-Tigard of www.figard or.gov Page 5 Highway 99W Corridor Improvement & Management Plan Highway 99W carries over 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic. This highway is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. There are no significant parallel routes to this highway, and the traffic congestion will continue to worsen as traffic increases during the next few years. The intersections of Highway 99W with Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, and McDonald Street are bottlenecks that seriously hamper the smooth flow of traffic. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's collector and arterial system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This traffic adversely impacts the arterial and collector street system in the City. The City has received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the plan. The development of the plan is anticipated to begin in April 2006. The study will evaluate various alternatives for improvement of the highway (including development of new parallel routes and connections that can feasibly be made between developments parallel to the highway) between Durham Road and Interstate 5. The intent of the study is to address current traffic deficiencies, present design alternatives and propose strategies that would provide for effective traffic circulation, connectivity and operational improvements to the highway and its corridor. The study would provide a plan for management of the corridor and a package of projects (both large and small) that can be implemented over a period of years as funding sources are identified and designated for these projects. McDonald Street (at Hwy 99W) McDonald Street is classified as a collector carrying over 8,500 vehicles per day. The Hwy 99W/Gaarde St/McDonald Street intersection operated at an unacceptable level of service and long queues tended to form on the Gaarde and McDonald legs of the intersection. The City of Tigard Transportation System Plan 41, (TSP) calls for the intersection to be improved. The Hwy 99W/Gaarde Street intersection was, . improved as part of the Gaarde Street - Phase 2 _ project completed in 2004. This McDonald - - `T Street Improvement project, which was recently y completed in August 2005, has resulted in a - _ - , t r considerably improved level of service at the y :t C v intersection. The project, after completion, A. provides a westbound right-turn from McDonald Street into the highway and lengthens the left- turn stacking capacity on the street. In addition, the project installed curbs and sidewalks on both sides of the street between Hwy 99W and 105th McDonald - (Before) Avenue. poor turning g movements McDonald Street, after improvements, has dedicated left-turn and right-turn lanes, and west- bound and east-bound through lanes that provide east-west movement of traffic at the intersection without impacting the traffic performance of the highway.

The street was widened A, on the north side, which required the /~,r installation of a 12-inch storm drain pipe to replace an existing ditch and accommodate t ! ' ,4< the widening. The new crosswalk has been F • M, ' striped with a high visibility pattern and North Dakota Crosswalk signed accordingly. The project was completed by Accord Construction in early May 2005. Pavement Major Maintenance Program (for FY 2004-05) The City of Tigard has been hard at work this entire summer on street maintenance projects funded through the Street Maintenance Fee. This new fee provides a stable source of revenue to help the City address a considerable backlog in street maintenance projects. When applied early, preventative maintenance treatments used as part of a pavement preservation strategy will cost significantly less than the reconstruction & rehabilitation of streets that are allowed to deteriorate. z kr t f 'y Y K4F 72nd Avenue (Before) 7 rd Avenue (After) The program for FY 2004-05 was divided into two phases. Phase 1 was completed in the summer of 2004 and Phase 2 was completed this past spring. Both included overlay treatments on: Phase] Phase 2 ■ 66th Ave (south of Oak Street) 72°d Ave (Hwy 217 to Fir Lp) ■ 67th Ave (south of Oak Street) 121St Ave (Springwood to Ann St) ■ 72nd Ave (Spruce to Oak Street) ■ 110th Ave (Fairhaven to Park) There was approximately 25,000 SY or ■ Derry Dell Court (Park to Watkins Ave) 2800 tons of asphalt concrete placed on the ■ James Ct (west of Howard Drive) streets. ■ Park Street (110th to Watkins Ave) ■ Ventura Ct (Barbara Ln to Ventura Dr) Visit the City of'Tigard at www.tigard-or.gov Page 7 Pavement Major Maintenance Program (for FY 2005-06) The Fiscal Year 2005-06 program began in July 2005 with Phase 1, which included: ■ 66th Ave (Taylor's Ferry Rd to end) ■ 69th Ave (North of Oak) ■ 89th Ave (Spruce St to end) ■ 98th Ave (Murdock St to Sattler St) ■ 109th Ave (Naeve to end) ■ 124th Ave (Marion St to James St) ■ Alberta St (121 st Ave to end) ■ Elmhurst St (121st Ave to end ■ James St (121 st Ave to 124th Ave) fi'4 HI iiaa ■ Jefferson St (South of Locust) Katherine (128th Ave east 400ft) ■ Marion St (121 st Ave to 124th Ave)' ■ Murdock St (103rd to Elementary School entrance) Thorn Street (Before) ■ Pfaffle/Hall Blvd (intersection) ■ Spruce St (Hall Blvd to 89th Ave) ■ Thorn Street 89th Avenue to end In addition to providing treatments on existing paved streets, the City also paves gravel streets such at 89th t_4f Avenue, 109th Avenue and Thorn Street to eliminate future maintenance costs, which may increase greatly when the streets are not maintained in a timely manner. t n T Thorn Street (After) Phase 2 is currently under design and will - = include: ■ 69th Parkway (99W to Haines St) 1 136th Ct (Walnut Ln to end) Greenburg Rd (Center St to N. Dakota St) Construction of Phase 2 is scheduled for the spring of 2006. 68th Parkway Visit the City of Tigard nt www.tigard-or.gov Page 8 Pine Street Reconstruction Pine Street is a narrow roadway located in the northeast quadrant of the City. The street has no shoulders, ' sidewalks or curbs. The pavement surface has extensive t r - longitudinal and transverse pattern cracking and numerous patches along the travel lanes. It also has an inadequate_ drainage system and two significant curves that limit visibility and speeds. The main goal of this project is to reconstruct the street to provide proper drainage and ; improve rideability. Construction of the improvements is scheduled for late spring of 2006. Pine Street at west end Ultimate improvements to the street including correction of the existing curves, installation of sidewalks and construction of the street to the ultimate width, will be performed in the future when funding is available. School Zone Signing This is a Citywide upgrade to all school signing to alert drivers when they are entering and leaving the school zones. This was initiated in compliance with the new state law regarding speeds in school zones. All upgrades were completed in June. Street Striping Program (for FY 2005-06) This is a program to maintain existing striping on City streets to enhance safety and provide proper channelization for traffic movements. Striping, pavement markings and pavement markers were placed on the following streets: ■ 68th Avenue - (Dartmouth St to Atlanta St) ■ 69th Avenue - (Hampton St to Dartmouth St) ■ Bonita Road - (at bridge) ' ■ Dartmouth -(69th Ave to 500' west of 72nd) I` u- ■ Johnson Street - (Hwy 99W to Grant St) ° x ■ N Dakota - (114th Ave to Tiedeman St N.

Visit the Citl of Tigard al mov.tigard or.gov Page 9 Traffic Calming Program (for FY 2004-05) This program focuses on reducing high traffic speeds on residential streets. Speed humps typically reduce speeds by 4 to 6 mph and are frequently requested by residents. The installation of speed humps are a major part of the program. Speed humps are normally installed by the City's Public Works crews during the summer or spring each year. This year's program installed 4 speed humps. The streets which received speed humps are: ■ Fern Street (Ascension Drive to 138th Avenue) - 1 hump ■ Park Street (Walnut to 110th Ave)- 2 humps ■ Summerlake Drive (Scholls Ferry Road to Springwood Drive) - 1 hump ~ Ewa .HUMP ~..5 _ ' • ;p4 r it• r'' tt~i Park Street Park Street (overview) (approaching speed hump) Tualatin River Path This project connects the existing Cook Park pathway to the proposed Tualatin River pedestrian bridge, which is scheduled for construction by the City of Tualatin in 2006. The work includes construction of a 10-foot wide by 1350-foot asphaltic concrete pathway with gravel shoulders. Completion of the project will fill a key gap ~E. ~ti ' . in the existing riverside trail system and provide community access to the future pedestrian bridge. Construction is scheduled for the spring of 2006. Existing trail condition Wall Street This project constructs a portion of Wall Street to provide common access to Hall Blvd for the library and the Fanno Pointe condominiums as required by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The design of the project is substantially completed. A Sensitive Lands permit application has been submitted to the City. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled to begin in April 2006 and is expected to be completed in December 2006. Visit the City of Tigard at mov.6gard-or.gov Page 10 Walnut Street- Phase 3 (135th to 121st Ave) This project is the last phase of a three-phase project funded through the Washington County MSTIP 3. The first phase constructed the Walnut/Gaarde intersection, widened the approaches & installed a traffic signal at the intersection. The City designed and constructed the project and was reimbursed by Washington County for all costs, excluding water, sanitary sewer and utility improvements. This project was completed in 2001. The second phase improved the Walnut/121st Avenue ! intersection, which was completed by the County in 2002. 1 Phase 3, which began last spring, widens Walnut to provide 44 feet of paved roadway with two travel lanes, a center turn lane and two bike lanes. Sidewalks will be installed to enhance pedestrian safety. This project also reconfigures the Walnut StiWalnut Ln/135th Ave intersection to improve traffic circulation and correct an unusual three- legged street connection (see Figurel). Certain \ improvements, such as extension of sanitary sewer lines on Fern & Walnut Street, are included as part of the project and is funded by the City.

Benchview Terrace Maintenance Road Erosion exposing a Sewer Manhole Slope Stabilization (at Quail Hollow West Subdivision) This project is necessary in order to protect a public sanitary sewer line that was installed by the develo er of the Quail Hollow West p subdivision. The work is located in a natural °r f drainageway flowing through the subdivision. The banks of the drainageway have sloughed in certain areas, and threatened to undermine r= r - or exposed the sanitary sewer line. In . z~~...r = addition, the erosion of the banks threatens ` adjacent homes along the top of the banks. The project involved re-grading and stabilizing the slope and re-planting native species and new trees. Elting Northwest, Inc. began Slope Stabilization construction the beginning of May and Initial excavation completed the construction in the middle of October 2005. Visit the Cite of Tigard at www.tigard-or.gov Page 12 Citywide Sewer Extension Program This 5 year-program, which began in FY 2001-02, extends sanitary sewer services to all developed but un-sewered areas Citywide. The City initiates and completes the sewer extensions, then recoups the total cost of the design and construction via creation of a reimbursement district. As residents connect to the new sewer line, they have to pay their proportionate share of the cost of the line, plus the normal connection fee. The following 5 districts were constructed in 2005 and provided 69 connections to existing homes. ■ 117th Avenue - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 34 ( 4 lots) ■ Ash Avenue - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 36 (9 lots) ■ Fern Street - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No.32 (S lots) ■ O'Mara & Edgewood - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 31 (46 lots) ■ Walnut Street - Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 33 (S lots) t l; ` " r• f J >0' •L J i 3 Fern Street 117th Avenue (After sewer installation & overlay) (After sewer installation & 2-inch overlay) k i' r, +j- j n'~ •.x O'Mara Street (Pipe placement at Senior Center) Visit the Cih- of Tigard at www.dgartl or.gov Page 13 I 7 ~ \ it ~ ~ r~'~/ j II;,I 1 ~rl : 1( ? \ ~ ~ i 70th Avenue Storm Drainage Improvements Over the past several ears this area has been rti prone to flooding on the downhill side due to excessive runoff from the top of the hill and a 'r limited catch basin collection system. This . project involved the installation of approximately 300 LF of pipe, three new catch basins and the ~ p~ ,t sr~: F •r upgrading of three existing basins. Asa part of this project, the street was given a 2-inch asphalt " overlay. The project contractor, Paul Lambson Construction, began working on this project in January of 2005 and completed the work at the end of February 2005. 70th Avenue Bonanza Way Erosion Control (south of Riverwood Drive) r " The existing outfall south of Bonanza Way was severely eroded and in need of repair. The outfall - pipe was positioned high above the channel therefore causing a large amount of erosion. The City contracted with Clean Water Services to ~ 4• perform the necessary work to eliminate the erosion problem. r• The work was completed in late summer 2005. Bonanza Way Erosion Control Improvements Derry Dell Sanitary Sewer Wetland Mitigation This project enhances wetland areas and vegetated corridors along Derry Dell Creek at 110th Avenue. The enhancement is required by environmental permits due to impacts created by the installation of a sanitary sewer pipe across the creek. Willows and Oregon Ash trees have been planted in the work area. Invasive species such as blackberry and English ivy have been removed. As with the Gaarde Mitigation projects above, if the plants survive at required rate, this mitigation work will also be completed in 2008. [visit the City of Tigard at www.dgard-or.gov Page 14 Gaarde St - Phase 2 Wetland Mitigation This project provides mitigation measures that were required by environmental permits to offset the loss of 0.009 acres of wetland associated with the widening of Gaarde Street. Work completed this year includes improvements of 1180 square feet of wetland by removing reed canary grass and establishing a vegetated corridor mitigation plan along the Fanno Creek Greenway immediately north of Tigard Street. If the new plants survive at the rate indicated by the permit requirements, the mitigation work will be completed in 2008. Highland Drive Storm Drainage The existing storm drainage system on Highland Drive from 109th Ave to approximately. 1, 100 feet east of the Highland/ I 09th intersection consists of 12-inch pipes that have been crushed in numerous places and are beginning to fail. This project includes installation of new pipes, manholes and upgraded catch basins. In addition to storm drainage improvements, a new pavement overlay will be applied on the street using the Street Maintenance Fee fund. The improvements are scheduled for the spring of 2006 (the project will be advertised for bid as one project). Construction coordination would be more efficient if both projects are handled simultaneously by the same contractor. Rockingham Storm Drain F y This project replaces an undersized storm drain K. ~s °~&3t X inlet located near Rockingham Street west of the s ~+.f Y w H 132nd/Greenfield Drive intersection. The inlet, which is located at the end of an unnamed tributary creek, was not sized large enough to handle the winter runoff from nearby subdivisions. This project replaces the inlet with an oversized manhole and properly directs the runoff into the manhole using a 54-inch metal end section. y r ' ` ` Yr Construction of the project was completed recent) So far, the s stem has been o eratin effective) R ay>,~ Y P g y and should be capable of passing through large amounts of water, if needed, during heavy storms. Installation of Manhole Summerlake Maintenance Bridge Three existing storm drain culverts under a pedestrian path are undersized and are not providing adequate flow during high water periods. It has been determined that installation of a small bridge in place of new culverts would be less restrictive for the flow and would minimize the impacts on the existing wetlands Western Woods Products, has been awarded a contract to supply and install the bridge in January of 2006.
