2. DISCUSS THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN WITH METRO COUNCILOR
BURKHOLDER, METRO STAFF AND CLACKAMAS COUNTY BOARD OF GOMMISSIONERS
CHAIR PETERSON
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch introduced this discussion on the Regional Transportation
Plan, region-wide initiatives and how they might affect Tigard. He acknowledged two Planning Commission
members Matthew Muldoon and Margaret Doherty and noted that Tigard wants to involve their Planning
Commissioners in transportation discussions as much as possible since they soon will have the Transportation
System Plan (TSP) and the Highway 99W Plan before them.
He welcomed Metro Councilor Rex Burkholder, Clackamas County Board of Commissioners Chair Lynn
Peterson and Metro Infrastructure Finance Manager Shaw.
Metro Councilor Burkholder presented a PowerPoint on the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update. He
said a difference with this RTP update is that it should be seen as a subsidiary of the growth management vision
rather than something operating independently. It will be based not only on transportation needs but on the
2040 Concept values which define the kind of community we want to have.
He listed desired outcomes of the RTP update -
• Vibrant communities (places to live where people have jobs, safe and secure places to walk and bike,
many educational opportunities)
• Economic Prosperity
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - JULY 15, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 1 of 9
• Safe and Reliable Transportation
• Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Clean air, water, healthy ecosystem
• Equity (Currently, 60% of the population pays more for transportation than they do for housing)
He said the 2040 Growth Concept Plan is also being updated, not by going back to the drawing board, but by
recognizing Performance-Based Growth Management which bases growth management decisions on how well
local and regional policy choices meet desired outcomes. He said they want to take those concepts and ask how
we meet challenges in aging infrastructure, governance, zoning and codes that don't help achieve our goals.
He said we know the region is growing and our goal is to find out how to grow in a way that is elegant, pleasant
and fair to everyone. There are three main components: 1) Urban Form - Metro Councilor Harrington is
involved in this discussion; 2)Transportation - 2035 RTP Update -Metro Councilor Burkholder is the lead on
this; and 3) Investments - We have a lot of land in urbanized areas and challenges in achieving our
infrastructure goals.
General Timeline to put these choices out in front of the public:
• July-Dec 2008 Frame Choices (Use scenarios to illustrate choices)
• Jan-June 2009 Refine Choices (What mix of strategies is necessary?)
• June-Dec 2009 Make Choices (Adopt the Regional Transportation Plan, adopt the reserves, and put
infrastructure strategies in place)
• 2010-2011 Implement Choices (71us really doesn't stop; it will require constant investment strategizing
and refinement)
Issues: Growth and Climate Change
• One million more people expected in 30 years
• Aging population and changing demographics (Phis will help us. People are interested in living in
multi-family housing in centers)
• Growing congestion (People drive less in mixed-use communities)
• Climate change (Global warning may accelerate the pace of people moving to the Northwest)
• Cost of Energy
Funding is not Keeping Pace
• Rising costs and not enough money
• Aging Infrastructure - need to fix and upgrade roads, bridges, sewer and water systems, etc.
• Maintenance consumes most of the spending.
• Transit systems are experiencing higher demand but costs outpace revenues
• Shift of funding burden to local governments
A New Approach for the RTP
• Outcomes tied to public values
• Connecting People and Places
• Strategic, innovative solutions
• Transportation performance and qualkyof life effects

How to stay Engaged
• Attend our meetings! (JPACT, MPAC, MTA and TPAC)
• Participate in Mayors' and Chairs' forums
• Tigard has all the issues that we face and Metro needs to learn from what they know. Let's talk Keep
up your participation.
Metro Councilor Burkholder shared copies of a book called, Walk 77xmd He said citizens can pick up a free
copy at Metro or order one for a $5 shipping fee. Regional walks are featured including some in Tigard, listed
on page 219.
Clackamas County Commissioner Peterson acknowledged Metro Councilor Burkholder's work on leading
JPACT and for his efforts to view the Regional Transportation Plan differently- looking at innovative and cost
effective outcomes for moving freight and people around rather than just trucks and cars.
She gave an update on JPACT, noting that while Metro plays a key role in assembling interested parties, they
realize that the cities and counties are the implementers of land use and transportation. She said a JPACT
subcommittee got together to examine how everyone could work together to ensure some kind of regional
success in obtaining transportation funding. She referred Council to a handout, "Principles on Working
Together for a Regional Package." She said they are proposing to take a vote in 2010 whether to ask the
legislature to raise the vehicle registration fee to $54 annually, which would bring in $1 billion for the next 20
years. She said half would be dedicated to local projects within each county, similar to MSTIP.
The other half of the money would go to larger projects, such as improving Highway 217 or a connector in
Washington County. Clackamas Countymayuse it for improving the I-205 and 212/213 Interchanges
She said the third part is to include a transit portion; however State law makes it difficult because any vehicle fee
is constitutionally dedicated to roads only. So one proposal is to take the federally flexible MTIP money that
comes to Metro and dedicate it only to transit, pedestrian and bike improvements if this ballot measure passes.
She said the ballot measure came about because Washington County interprets their charter to say that anything
they do needs to go through the ballot measure process. So JPACT said they would join hands as a tri county
group and make a coordinated effort when seeking support.
She said the legislative agenda that JPACT agreed to is to raise the gas tax 14 cents, increase annual vehicle
registration fee to $54 and to index the gas tax to inflation.
Councilor Wilson said Tigard has serious transportation needs and people here care about transportation. He
said while people are very happy about commuter rail it has nowhere near the capacity of light rail. He said the
last time the vehicle registration fee was raised -it went mostly for a bridge program. The Washington Square
Regional Center Plan called for two overpasses over Highway 217 as well as in the Tigard Triangle, but these
were not built. Yet Staley Junction is getting a new overpass. He said he was not sure how the urban/rural split
works. He said if safety is the issue, it should be noted that we've had many accidents, including fatalities on
99W. He said it seemed to him that the urban areas are subsidizing the rural areas
Metro Councilor Burkholder agreed, saying that spending money is very political and realizing this, Metro hired
Infrastructure Finance Manager Shaw to work in Salem on behalf of the region. He acknowledged that urban
area legislators work on health care and education, corrections and social services etc. and not as much on
transportation. He said Metro is working on raising awareness that transportation is one of our largest public
infrastructure investment strategies and we want to take control of our destinies. He said this is a national issue
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - JULY 15, 2008
City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 ~s www.tigard-or.gov Page 3 of 9
and there is a movement to get regional governments making decisions on how federal transportation money is
spent locally.
Clackamas County Commissioner Peterson said ODOT's highest priorities are the interstate system, state
highways and safety. She said though district highways are their lowest priority, those highways are how we
move the majority of our citizens around. She suggested these roads be given to the region or the counties
because, "We know how to manage urban issues. But with that needs to come money."
She said the question is how the region can structure a request to take control of these roads as well as the
funding for them. She said Portland has done this jurisdictional transfer already, with Martin Luther King and
Sandy Boulevards.
Mayor Dirksen said in order to convince Tigard that this is a good idea we need to be shown that what we pay
will come back to us. She said the money raised in each county stays in the county. However, Clackamas and
Multnomah Counties have agreed to work together on the Sellwood Bridge improvements first.
Councilor Wilson said the allocation now gives counties 24%, cities get 16% and the State gets the rest. He said
Tigard has the least number of county roads of any city in Washington County so our citizens are paying
ODOT but not seeing any return. He said the City of Tigard recently voted themselves a gas tax to help pay
for improvements on ODOT's highway.
Councilor Buehner offered sets of Tigard's traffic factoid flashcards. She noted that the busiest portions of I-5,
217 and 99W nun through Tigard. She noted that since the last time ODOT examined their allocation, the
Metro region grew 4% above other areas in the state. She asked for Metro's and JPACT's support in asking for
ODOT to reallocate the regional allocation. She also raised the concern about taking over highways without
getting the funds along with the responsibility. She said, "We go to ODOT and say we'd like to do some
improvements to your highway in our city. They say we have to pay for it but build it to their standards and let
their bureaucracy control it. That doesn't sound right to our constituents, who have to live with the congestion
on 99W." Councilor Buehner agreed that the region working together would be effective.
Councilor Wilson said Tigard has spend a lot of time and money looking at solutions to the traffic problems on
99W, which has to cross over a freeway, creek and railroad tracks. He said the answer often given is to keep
widening 99W but that would divide the town. The most recent consultant said a solution may be connecting
Walnut Street to Hunziker in the Tigard Triangle. He said it would be ideal to increase density in the Triangle
but Tigard can't absorb density because the highways and interchange are overwhelmed. He said the City
couldn't apply for state money for this because it wasn't on the last RIP. He said he was not sure why it wasn't,
and hopes it will be one this one.
Councilor Buehner said that improving the streets that cross Highway 99W would make it work better, but we
can 't. She recommended the development of a more flexible funding model.
Clackamas County Commissioner Peterson said Tigard needs to 1) ask what level of service can they afford
over 30 years of service, 2) find funding for alternate routes, 3) pursue light rail and 4) make the city more bike
and pedestrian-friendly so short trips don't jam up the system. She suggested getting the regional trips onto a
regional system and keeping the inter-regional trips off Highway 99W.
Councilor Buehner mentioned what she calls the "doughnut effect" - lower density housing in the center of a
city and denser housing around the edge. She said there was no infrastructure being built to bring these people
in. Mayor Dirksen said Tigard actually has four areas where the City can accommodate higher density without
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - JULY 15, 2008

impacting the lower density neighborhoods. But these areas that exist in urban form that could absorb the
influx are all constrained from best and highest use development by transportation limits.
Metro Councilor Burkholder said that these rules actually came out of central Oregon about destination resorts
overwhelming rural highways. He said JPACT has both the LCDC and the Oregon Transportation
Commission on notice that we are trying to implement this but is isn't working at all and is the wrong approach.
Metro Councilor Burkholder acknowledged that density rules in eastern Oregon do not work in our
metropolitan areas.
Mayor Dirksen pointed out that when Washington County planned areas 63 and 64, they only considered
impacts on adjacent roads, not those such as Scholls Ferry or Roy Rogers that lead into it. Metro Councilor
Burkholder said he hopes the updated RTP will force more of a global look
Clackamas County Commissioner Peterson said, "The important thing is that we are starting to realize that
issues do not stop at city or county lines. There is no one solution."
Councilor Woodruff stated that he appreciated their work on this. He said, "We do a good job of articulating
the problem but not the solution." He said if light rail does come to Tigard, he would prefer it not go down the
highway and splitting the town in two as in Gresham
Councilor Sherwood said she was as a long-time Washington County resident and remembered that when the
Westside Bypass was proposed, people said "don't built it, people will come." She said they came anyway.
Metro Councilor Burkholder said the entire country is talking about congestion pricing as a way to manage
facilities. He suggested that Tigard consider pricing (tolls) as one way to fix Highway 99W.
Tigard Planning Commissioner Muldoon suggested that politicians let the market make choices - give people a
choice whether or not to pay a toll by having the option to take another road. He also suggested avoiding any
technology that slows traffic.
Clackamas County Commission Chair Peterson gave an example where citizens were urged to try a toll road for
one year with the promise that it would be removed at the end of the time. She said they experienced 20% less
congestion with the end result that one year later people voted to put back the pricing. She said this can be
tested to prove how well it works.
Mayor Dirksen thanked everyone for coming and said it was encouraging and refreshing to hear talk about a
solution that includes both transit and roads.
At 7:56 PM Council recessed.
At 8:06 Mayor Dirksen adjourned the City Council meeting and called the members of the Center
Development Agency to order. Deputy Recorder Krager called the roll.

3. UPDATE ON DRAFT DESIGN STANDARDS AND PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGES FOR
DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT AND PREVIEW OF JULY 30 OPEN HOUSE . .
Associate Planner Farrelly said the Downtown Improvement Plan recommended the implementation of design standards
and land use revisions to carry out the guiding vision and principles. He said the updated Comprehensive Plan chapter for
the Downtown Urban Renewal District includes policies and action measures calling for the development of design
guidelines and standards that encourage attractive downtown commercial and residential architecture. They encouraged
land use regulations with uses suitable for an urban village.
He said a sub-committee comprised of City Center Advisory Commission (CCAQ and Planning Commission members
has been working with staff over the past nine months to draft new design standards and land use changes. He said there
would be three review paths for applicants:
• An over-the-counter option for minor renovations
• Type II for building renovations based on clear criteria
• Type III would include a review by the Design Review Board (structure of this to be determined)
He said all of the urban renewal district would be in one zone - Mixed-Use Central Business District (MUCBD)
Associate Planner Farrelly discussed the public involvement process which includes an open house on July 30, 2008 with
all downtown property and business owners and other interested parties invited. He said it would also be advertised in the
Cityscape and in newspapers. He said the draft code will also be available for review on the City's website for two weeks
prior to the open house. He said staff will personally contact property owners to encourage participation.
After the open house, a Consultant (paid for by a grant) will review the work Any changes made will be reviewed by the
sub-committee. Then it will go through the CCAC, Planning Commission, and then Council review.
Councilor Buehner asked, "Are you having another open house focused on businesses and property owners. after the
consultant changes it but before the public hearings?" Associate Planner Farrelly said that was a good idea if there were
changes. Councilor Woodruff agreed with this outreach. Councilor Buehner said it was important that citizen sub-
committee members participate, as property owners may be more comfortable approaching them than a Councilor or
staff person.
Councilor Wilson said he was surprised byjust one zoning designation and asked howtheywould address different uses.
Associate Planner Farrelly said that the MUCBD zone will refer to all allowed uses. Areas will be designated to have
certain building types. He said with form based code there is less concern with building use as with the types of buildings.
Councilor Wilson advised being careful about design review and suggested putting in place a strong professional design
review committee. He suggested using architectural professionals to stand firm and keep development to our standards.
Associate Planner Farrelly said the subcommittee also recommended a professional review board.
Mayor Dirksen asked if any members of the Downtown Business Owners Association were present at any meetings and
what their reaction was. Associate Planner Farrelly said, "No, but they were invited." City Manager Prosser said that
Associate Planner Farrelly did a presentation at the Tigard Central Business District Association meeting. Assistant
Community Development Manager Bunch said the reception was good and concerns included:
• Maintaining a small scale pedestrian-oriented character
• Creating a place where people feel comfortable and safe
• Traditional forms of architecture were desired.
• Great potential to use these standards elsewhere in downtown besides Main Street
Mayor Dirksen asked if form based code would hold up to legal challenges. Associate Planner Farrelly said Tigard will be
using a hybrid, not a strict form based code and the consultant will help to ensure consistency with State rules, as will the
City Attorney.

seconded. All voted in favor. Mayor Dirksen reconvened the City Council.
4. DISCUSS TIGARD TRIANGLE ELEMENT OF THE TIGARD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
UPDATE
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said the Tigard Triangle is designated as a Mixed Use
Employment center, not a regional center, corridor or a town center. He said the opportunity to be designated
as a regional center has 'been lost due to transportation issues. He said the Triangle is not meeting the past
expectations set forth in the 1980's. It is in a great location but until we can solve some transportation issues
there are obstacles to development potential. He asked Council for input.
Councilor Sherwood said she read in the paper that Target was putting in money for transportation
improvements. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said transportation improvements will
solve the problem of the traffic generated by the store, but not beyond that. There is still the question of what
happens beyond that. One option is to use it for denser housing because it wouldn't create the same PM peak
traffic.
Councilor Wilson said this area is unique, with three major highways crossing it. He said he did not favor high
density housing there. He suggested zoning for the highest and best use. He noted that years ago when the Phil
Lewis School closed, people said living there was not the greatest anyway, due to the heavy traffic noise and
congestion. He said Tigard really needs to call attention to the problem of ODOT saying we can't build what
people really want to build and maybe a building moratorium would get their mobility standards noticed. He
said he is not against all housing but if any is built there it should be urban.
Mayor Dirksen agreed that it should be zoned and developed to the highest use. He said the opportunity for
housing shouldn't be ruled out.
Councilor Buehner expressed concerns about building two to three-story buildings that have a low floor area
ratio. She said any development impacts the side streets and suggested that flyover ramps be used to help move
people. She said the Washington Square Regional Center has some of the same issues and Mayor Dirksen
agreed, saying they should be approached in the same way.
Councilor Wilson suggested levying Systems Development Charges (SDQ so each development pays for their
impact.
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said this is a great urban problem to have and said he
hoped we can work with our regional partners to get the most efficient land use and use of transit.
CCAC Member Barkley asked who regulates traffic lights on 72nd Avenue over Highway 217. She mentioned
that there are several traffic lights on 72nd Avenue and one is only three-car lengths long which creates traffic
bottlenecks. Mr. Bunch said he will talk to Engineer Duenas and Right-of-Way Manager McCarthy and get an
answer to her question.

5. DISCUSS PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE PROCESS TO APPOINT AD-HOC CITIZEN ADVISORY
COMMITTEES
Assistant Planner Daniels presented this item Mayor Dirksen asked Council if they had read the materials and
were in agreement with staff's suggestion. Gouncilor Woodruff said, "This is OK only for groups that are going
to be short-lived."
Councilor Buehner suggested having a generalized call for interested people and setting up a pool with those
names for short-lived committees. She cautioned that this should be a transparent system Councilor
Sherwood said she wanted to avoid the appearance of the city handpicking committees. Assistant Community
Development Director Bunch replied that staff works with many people and gets to know people who are
interested in what the City is doing.
Councilor Woodruff mentioned concern about the appearance of cronyism Mr. Bunch suggested trying this
for a year, monitoring it and seeking feedback from Council to see if it made the citizen involvement process
more dynamic. Councilor Buehner agreed but said she wants a clear rule about checking in with this process.
Councilor Wilson said the current system is too formal. He said he was an advocate of training people before
they are even on a committee so they'll be able to step in and know what is expected of them
Mayor Dirksen said there is a general consensus for staff to appoint ad-hoc advisory committees, with a review
of the process in one year. He also suggested consideration of a standing Transportation Committee and asked
staff to pursue this and come back to Council with a recommendation.
6. REVIEW COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
Assistant City Manager Prosser reviewed the proposed Council Groundrules and suggested changes. One
suggestion is the Groundrules should be in sections. Councilor Buehner suggested looking at time spent on
consent agendas.
Councilor Sherwood noted often a presentation is read by staff from prepared notes that Council has already
read prior to the meeting. Councilor Buehner said the discussions need to be shown and the reason for
decisions is the "meat" of the process and that needs to be shown. Assistant City Manager Newton noted that
some scheduling of items on the agenda was due to outside agencies wanting to do a presentation that will be
seen on television. Councilor Wilson said we've done a good job of starting to limit those. He said it is easier
now to download meeting materials from the internet so Council doesn't need to have a big presentation the
night of the meeting. Assistant City Manager Newton said the task force recommended not having items on
the agenda that don't pertain to City business.
Councilor Woodruff noted that occasionally other meetings are called for such as first Tuesdays and meetings
with the School District, for example. He said this should be added to page one. He also suggested that the
event hosted for potential candidates should be open for anyone who is interested in what the City Council
does. Councilor Sherwood suggested televising it.
Mayor Dirksen said he agreed with Councilor Buehner that times for Point of Order and Adjournment were
overly optimistic. Councilor Sherwood said the goal ought to be 9:00 p.m Councilor Buehner said there
should be a two-hour window for a meeting. After discussion Council agreed to change the Point of Order
time to 9:00 p.m and Adjournment for 9:30 p.m

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
This is an opportunity for Council to discuss the Regional Transportation Plan (RIP) update with Metro Councilor
Burkholder and Metro staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the RTP and other regional transportation related issues with Metro Council.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
There are two parts to the Regional Transportation Plan - a federal component and a state component. The Federal
component (including air-quality determination) has been completed and was approved by the U.S. Department of
Transportation on February 29, 2008. Metro is currently engaged in completing the state component/final 2035 RTP.
It is expected this part of the RTP will be approved in late fall 2009.
The state component /final 2035 RTP will address 1) regional, state, and federal planning'requirements; 2) issues
identified in Metro's Cost of Congestion Study, and 3) studies relating to freight movement and how to efficiently
manage the existing transportation facilities.
The final 2035 effort concentrates on exploring transportation funding options and developing transportation system
performance measures. A range of transportation funding options is being studied. Funding measures that have been
successful elsewhere are being explored as to their applicability to the Portland region.
Performance measures are an important part of the RIP. They will be used as part of sophisticated computer modeling
to evaluate the effect of different investment scenarios on development patterns, transportation performance, the
economy, and the environment. This part of the project will be completed by the end of summer 2008. The results
will be considered byMetro's technical and policy advisory committees during fall 2008. The information will also be
used to develop additional investment scenarios for further testing and consideration in early 2009. It is expected that
final 2035 RTP approval will be in late fall 2009

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Craig Dirksen and Members of the Tigard City Council
FROM: Ron Bunch, Assistant Community Development Director
RE: Talking Points for Metro Burkholder's Visit to Discuss the Regional
Transportation Plan
DATE: July 11, 2008
INTRODUCTION
It was suggested we summarize some of Tigard's most significant transportation issues and provide
possible questions that Council may wish to ask Metro Councilor Burkholder and his staff when
they meet with Council on July 15.
The following are staff s recommendations:
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Issue: Hwy 99W Improvements
Hwy 99W is an important state and regional highway and serves a broad range of transportation
needs. New population and employment growth will certainly push the highway over capacity on
several segments. Adding lanes, even if funds were available, is not desirable because "latent"
demand would soon use up whatever capacity was added. Furthermore, a seven-lane facility would
have profound physical impacts on Tigard.
There are several transportation management, bus transit, safety and intersection improvements that
are proposed to be done by the Tigard 99W Plan. However, the only way that the future demand
for transportation in SE Washington County can be accommodated is by high capacity transit / light
rail on Hwy 99W.
Potential Questions:
• How will Tigard effectively position 99W light rail within the Regional Transposition
decision-making process for it to have a reasonable chance of implementation?
• What are Metro's transit priorities?
Issue: Tigard Triangle, I-5 and Hwy 217
In the late 1980's, the 360 acres bordered by I-5, Hwy 217 and Hwy 99W was considered as a
potential office area similar to Kruse Way ; however, the area has not developed to expectations
because of the capacity limitations of the surrounding highway system. In short, the state's mobility
standards prevent development of this area to its potential. For example, the designated floor area
ratio of the Triangle (FAR) is A/1.
C:\Documents and Settings\carolk\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Oudook\8WIAMG VY\Memo to the Mayor dtd 7-11-08 re TaMng Points re Burkholders visit the one to
use.doc 1
The City understands that the needed transportation improvements to provide the capacity to
develop Triangle lands to a greater intensity are neither regional nor state priorities at this time.
Thus, the Triangle will probably continue to develop as low scale office and commercial
development with surface parking. This is an unfortunate, inefficient, use of valuable urban land.
Potential Question:
• From Metro's perspective, what kinds of things can Tigard, in partnership with others,
realistically do to make better use of lands within the Tigard Triangle? These include
prioritizing freeway improvements; provision of transit; land use changes to address pm peak
travel concerns, etc.
Issue: Economic Prosperity and Transportation
Like the Region, Tigard's economy is closely tied to the ability to move goods and people to and
from the City. Particularly important is the ability to move people. About 70% of Tigard's work
force is employed outside the City. Conversely, and about 70% of people employed in Tigard live in
other areas. The largest percentages of workers who leave town to work are employed in Portland.
The Portland City Center is only seven miles from Tigard. In this context, balancing jobs and
housing, and providing better transit service is going to be essential for Tigard's economic
prosperity.
Potential Questions:
• How can Tigard work with regional partners to improve transit including light rail to and
from Tigard?
• What is the expected outcome of Metro's High Capacity Study and will it be finished on
time Qanuary 2009)?
Issue: Urban Form and Transportation Efficiency
Tigard is concerned about future urbanization of unincorporated County Lands (UGB areas 63 and
64). As it appears now, these areas will be developed to accommodate up to 5000 single-family
residential units with few employment opportunities and little commercial/professional services. In
other words, residents of the new urban areas will have to rely on the automobile. This will have
significant impacts on both Hwy 99W and the interstate system. It is also significant to note that
much of the urban development in unincorporated Washington County is underserved both by
employment opportunities and commercial services, thus requiring automobile travel.
Potential Questions:
• What can be done to ensure that future urban development, especially which occurs through
the urban and rural reserve process, does not have to rely exclusively on the automobile for
transportation services?
• What is more desirable, redeveloping lands along Barbur Blvd/Hwy 99W to accommodate
5,000 units that would have transit service and access to services, or developing auto-
dependant homogenous land uses on the urban fringe?
Issue: Regional and Town Centers - Washington Square and the Tigard Downtown
CADocuments and Settings\carolk\Local Settings\Temporaty Internet Files\Content.Oudook\8WL4MGVY\Memo to the Mayor dtd 7-11-08 re Talking Points re Burkholders visit the one to
use.doc 2
As with the Tigard Triangle, the Washington Square Regional Center has significant transportation
improvement needs; many of which cannot be funded with existing resources. The recommended
2001 Washington Square Regional Center Plan calls for a comprehensive multi-modal transportation
system. This includes improvements in regional connections to and from the area including
commuter rail, transit center improvements, and Hwy 217 improvements. In addition,
improvements within the regional center area are needed - such as the Nimbus overcrossing
connecting the mall and the Nimbus Business Park area; pedestrian facilities along and across major
roadways; and recreational pedestrian and bicycle facilities surrounding the area.
The Tigard Downtown requires better connections to the surrounding community and significant
improvements to its local street system to create a pedestrian oriented town center environment.
Both Washington Square and the Tigard Downtown have the potential to bring together a variety of
Transportation Modes to encourage their development as compact and efficient urban centers.
Potential Question:
• How can Metro in general, and the Regional Transportation Planning processes in particular,
assist the City and potential investors in creating/maintaining economically successful urban
centers. In particular, from the City's perspective, higher-quality transit (light rail) both to
downtown and Washington Square would be a highly beneficial.
Issue: I-5 and Hwy 99W Connector
This project, proposed to cost more than a billion dollars, could have significant impacts on the
existing freeway system; require significant private lands for ROW, and could face opposition as it
proceeds.
Potential Question:
• What is Metro's view of the I-5 to Hwy 99W Connector, and does Metro consider its
implementation consistent with the direction established by Metro's Greatest Place's effort
and ideas underlying the current RTP update?
• Are there better places in the region or programs where to invest a $ billion plus?

State and Regional Transportation Funding
Developing State Transportation Package
In the fall of 2007, Governor Ted Kulongoski established three working committees to help
develop. a transportation funding proposal for the 2009 Legislative session. Committees on
Vision, Governance, and Public Awareness have held meetings over the past eight months.
These committees include a broad range of transportation stakeholders, from local and state
government representatives, to business and freight interests, to AAA and environmental
advocacy groups. The Governor has indicated a strong interest in linking new transportation
investments with the state's green house gas emissions reduction goals. .
The Vision Committee is aiming to develop a legislative package during the summer, with the
goal of allowing the Governor's office to present a proposal early next fall. Legislative leaders
have indicated an interest in holding hearings, prior to bringing the proposal to the Business
Leadership,Summit later in the fall. The Public Awareness Committee has conducted a
statewide audit of polling data on transportation issues, identified information gaps in that data,
and is developing further polling required to understand what kind of transportation solutions the
public is interested in funding. Lastly, the Governance Committee continues to work on concepts
for improving the efficiency of the existing system.
Developing Regional and State Legislative Priorities
By supplementing whatever action the state may take on transportation revenues, our region may
have an opportunity to move some large transportation projects forward that support the region's
growth plans, address congestion, freight mobility, and transit, strengthening the region's
economic position and community vitality. The Joint Policy Advisory Committee on
Transportation (JPACT), the region's transportation roundtable for elected leaders, has been
working on developing a set of regional priorities for the emerging state funding package, but
has also been working on a follow-up proposal to raise additional revenues at the regional level.,
The main themes of the region's priorities are:
■ Be Bold - our roads and highways require significant new investment to ensure
economic competitiveness and support livable communities.
■ Invest in Transit - the state should begin making a significant, ongoing commitment to
our transit infrastructure.
■ Increase Local Tools - the state cannot provide our region adequate resources to make
the level of investments we desire; we will need to raise additional revenues and require
new tools.
■ Do Not Preempt - transportation investments will be needed at all levels of
government to address backlogged maintenance, freight mobility, and system expansion;
the state should not take away local revenue raising authority.
Recognizing that new state revenues, once distributed through state. formulas, will not yield
nearly enough revenue to achieve our region's aspirations, the region's elected officials have
developed a framework for a regional transportation funding package. The goal is to follow on
the state's action with a tri-county ballot proposal to raise on the order-of $1 billion over a 20
year period to address major regional road and bridge projects. In addition, the framework calls
for a significant companion transit funding proposal. Both proposals would be more fully
developed after the state has taken action.

Exhibit A to Resolution No. 08-3956
Portland Metropolitan Region Transportation Priorities for the 2009 Oregon Legislature
Policy
Do No Harm: Do not enact preemptions of local government revenue-raising authority. The
transportation funding challenge %vdl require new funding commitments at all levels of gbvernment.
50-30-20 Funding Distribution: Protect the established•state funding formula to ensure distribution of new
siate-wide transportation resources as follows: 50 percent to the state, 30 percent to counties, and 20 percent
to cities ("50-30-20").
Protect Existing Assets: Oregon should protect its billions of dollars of existing transportation assets by
prioritizing maintenance and preservation. New modernization projects should be funded from the state's
50% share of new resources.
Remove Local Restrictions: Remove the requirement that county-approved vehicle registration fees must
be agreed to by neighboring counties in the region.
Remove Willamette Bridge Tolling Restrictions: Eliminate existing statutory restrictions on local
authority to establish tolls on Willamette River bridges in die region.
Establish More Sustainable Funding: With per-capita gas tax revenues in decline, Oregon should
continue efforts to establish use-based transportation revenue from sources such as congestion pricing, tolls,
and/or vehicle-miles-traveled fees, while maintaining cost responsibility between light vehicles and trucks.
Jurisdictional Transfers: The state should work in partnership with local jurisdictions by supporting the
transfer of state-owned district highways that define arterial or multi-modal corridors, including road
rehabilitation and permanent funding for maintenance.
New Revenues
Road Maintenance and Construction:. New state investments in our transportation system are desperately
required to address backlogged maintenance, critical safety and freight mobility projects, demand
management, and bike/pedestrian projects. A 12-cent gas tax increase merely returns the buying power of
the fuel tax to 1993 levels.
➢ Raise the gas tax 14¢ $400 million per year
➢ Increase the annual VRF to $54 $150 million per year
➢ Index the gas tax to inflation +$20 million per year
Invest in Transit: Devote new resources (including new lottery funds) to expanding bus, light rail,
commuter rail, streetcar, and other public transit services and facilities that support the state's CO2 emissions
reduction goals and efficient land use.
➢ New Commitment to Transit: Identify new, ongoing state funding to support transit.
➢ Flexible Funds: Instruct ODOT to use more flexible federal funds for public transit.
➢ Elderly and disabled transit: Increase funding for the state's Elderly & Disabled transit program.
➢ Transit Oriented Development (TOD): Leverage private development and maximize the value of
transit investments by supporting local TOD projects.
ConneetOregon III: The state's successful multi-modal investment program should be continued with a
third round of project funding.

Exhibit A to Res. No. 08-3921
Metropolitan Region Principles
For a Legislative Transportation Funding Package in 2009
We, the local governments of the Portland Metropolitan Region, believe:
The mounting inadequacy of funding for modernization and maintenance of Oregon's transportation
system:
• Threatens the state's economy.
• Harms the long term livability of our communities.
• Undermines public safety.
• Places the long term value of previous investments at risk.
• Contributes to global climate change and energy insecurity.
To solve this transportation funding crisis, and to guide critical decisions on transportation, we, the
undersigned, support the following principles:
MAKE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
• Adopt a significant, coordinated, comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package that
addresses the needs of the entire state through investments at the state, regional, and local levels.
• Ensure that any transportation funding package is responsive to the specific needs of Oregon's
metropolitan areas.
• Recognize the mutually dependent relationship between our land use and transportation systems,
and between these systems and the state's economic competitiveness.
• Invest transportation revenues in a multi-modal program that provides statewide economic benefits
and produces a high return on investment.
4 Allocate sufficient funds to address critical safety needs in communities statewide, and to support the
maintenance and preservation of new and existing transportation facilities.
REINFORCE OREGON'S LIVABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
• Design transportation investment programs to reward practices that best enhance the State's goals
with respect to public health and safety, livability, global climate change, economic prosperity and
environmental stewardship.
INVEST IN ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS
• Invest in key projects that strengthen freight movement, improve system reliability and safety, and
expand access and transit to traditional downtowns and other centers of commerce.
MAINTAIN FLEXIBILITY AND EQUITY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
• Allow and encourage innovative approaches and funding mechanisms to meet the differing needs of
Oregon's state, regional, and local transportation systems.
• Facilitate or expand funding authorities available to local and regional governments and eschew
unfunded mandates.
• Address state and local transportation needs through the distribution formula providing 50% to the
state, 30% to counties, and 20% to cities, and maximize local flexibility as to how these funds may be
used.
Principles for Agreement on a Regional Transportation Package
The Portland Metropolitan Region's leaders agree to pursue a transportation funding proposal.
following the 2009 legislative session within the following framework:
1. The proposal will be brought to the voters as a single, regional measure covering the entire tri-
county area, so that transportation needs within the UGB and in rural areas outside the UGB
can be addressed.
2. A. The target for placing the proposal on the ballot is May 2010. This will allow time after the
2009 legislative session for the region's leaders to craft a specific ballot proposal that can
win voter approval.
B. A firm decision is needed by July 2009 on whether or not to refer a regional ballot measure
in order to allow local jurisdictions the time to refer their own measures if a regional
measure does not advance.
3. The preferred funding source is an increase in the vehicle registration fee, seeking to raise more
than $1 billion over twenty }rears.
4. The proposal will fund:
A. Several large projects throughout the region. Funds will be allocated on a proportionate-use
or economic importance basis (e.g. funds from each county will be contributed based on
use of the facility by county residents), and each county and its cities will prioritize their
large projects.
B. City and county projects. Projects and distribution of funds within each county will be
based on funds raised from residents in that county. Each county and its cities will
determine their projects.
C. Alternative mode-supporting facilities (sidewalks, other pedestrian facilities, bike lanes,
boulevards, etc). Projects and distribution of funds within each county will be based on
funds raised from residents in that county. Each county and its cities will determine their
projects.
D. Freight-mobility projects. The amount of funding for these projects will be linked to cost
responsibility by freight carriers.
5. Some large projects under 4A. may require bond financing, but projects under 4B. and 4C. will
be funded on a cash-flow basis. Each jurisdiction is encouraged to create reserves for the
ongoing maintenance of facilities.
6. Cities, the three counties, Metro, and TriMet will use intergovernmental agreements to
implement the proposal.
7. A companion transit proposal will be developed to ensure that voters can consider a balanced
funding package.
8. With the passage of a ballot measure, MTIP funds will be flexed to fund non-road projects
(projects that cannot be funded with highway-related funds), that demonstrate a positive return
on investment, and focus on Metro Planning, TOD, RTO, ITS, Regional Trails, and Regional
Rail projects.

Mayor Dirksen said in order to convince us this is a good idea show us how what we pay will come back to us.
The money raised in each county stays in the county.
Councilor Wilson - The way the pie is split now - counties get % cities get 14% and the state gets the rest.
He said Tigard has fewest number of county roads of any city in Washington County and citizens are paying
ODOT but not seeing any return. He said the City of Tigard recently voted themselves a gas tax to help pay
for improvements on ODOT°s highway.
Clackamas County Commissioner Peterson said, "We don't even have a maintenance budget in Clackamas
County. We are_ only filling potholes." . This would help.push some money to the cities. Majority of CC trips
go North/South. We use the Sellwood Bridge and are a major user. How does this pkg. help this? Clackamas
and Multnomah worked out a deal to prioritize Sellwood Bridge first and then 213 and
C Buehner make sure you get our flashcards. Busiest of I-5, 217 and 99W is n Tigard. City Manager Prosser
handed them out. Wanted to look at specifics - Opposed to
C Buehner did some number crunching since ODOT metro region has gained four 4% of the population
We asked ODOT Tigard doesn't have clout. Likes ideas of taking over highways but wants money tied to it.
ODOT says. "It has to be done to our standards and controlled by our bueuracracy." Our consituents don't
like this. We could be effective working together. Until we can educate our legislators
Rex Burkholder said it is not coming out of Metro. Need to have an understanding that we are
all in this together. Think aobut it - we should be dominating the legislature.
Lyn P.
Mayor Dirksen said Highway 20 was brought up to 5,000 vehicles a day. 53,000 a day in 99W. Issue of equity.
It is not cheating to have our delegation talk about this. Change the formula.
Lyn - flip side is size of projects and funding of projects. The connector is now a Ifighway project. More
worried about
Mayor Dirksen said the connector will be very helpful to Tigard. It would move 1,000 vehicles per hour.
Lyn - But is it worth it to wipe out industrial land in Clackamas along I-5 to save a few minutes in traffic and
prevent congestion in Dundee?
C Wilson - Part of our problem is that 99W crosses a railroad, a creek and a highway. Ideal to increase density
in the Triangle. Yet we can't increase because of congestion
Lyn - how do you find funding for alternative routes? 2) 3)Light Rail 4) Ped and Bike friendly
Are we set up to help you do that?
Metro Councilor Burkholder argued that density rules in eastern Oregon do not work in our metropolitan areas.
Mayor D. pointed out that when Planning for areas 63 and 64 Washington Co. only considered impact on road
adjacent to areas not roads that lead to it.
Councilor Buehner mentioned what she calls the "doughnut effect" - lower density housing in the center of a
city and denser housing around the edge. She said there was no infrastructure being built to bring these people
in. She said she hoped that the Regional Transportation Plan does not make it worse. Mayor Dirksen said
Tigard actually has four areas where the City can accommodate higher density without impacting the lower
density areas. Yet, our areas exist in urban form that could absorb that influx are all constrained from best and
highest use development by transportation. Rex B. said some of these barriers are mental, not physical. He
asked, "How do you get denser housing started, triggering interest in people. There is fear about higher density
housing."
Clackamas County Commissioner Peterson said, "The important thing is we are starting to realize that issues do
not stop at city or county lines. There is no one solution."

Councilor Woodruff stated, "We do a good job of articulating the problem but not the solution." He said if
light rail does come to Tigard, he would prefer it not go down the highway and splitting the town in two as it
does in Gresham
Councilor Sherwood said ,she was as a long-time Washington County resident, and remembered that when the
Westside Bypass was proposed, people said "don't built it, people will come." She said theycame anyway.
Metro Councilor Burkholder said the entire country is talking about congestion pricing as a way to manage
facilities. He suggested that Tigard consider pricing (tolls) as one way to fix Highway 99W
Lyn P. Look for small successes.
Councilor Buehner said that improving the streets that cross Highway 99W would make it work better, but we
But we can't. Would like to have a flexible funding model developed.
Dirksen thanked them for coming.
Tigard Planning Commissioner Muldoon suggested that politicians let the market make choices - give people a
choice whether or not to pay a toll by having the option to take another road. He also suggested avoiding
technology that slows traffic.
Clackamas County Commission Chair Peterson gave an example where citizens were urged to try a toll road for
one year with the promise that it would be removed at the end of the time. She said they experienced 20% less
.congestion with the end result that one year later people voted to put back the pricing.
She said this can be tested to prove how well it works.
At 7:56:36 PM Council took a five-minute break
Mayor Dirksen adjourned the City Council meeting and called the members of the Center Development
Agency to Order. Deputy Recorder Krager took the roll.

3. UPDATE ON DRAFT DESIGN STANDARDS AND PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGES FOR
DOWN'T'OWN URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT AND PREVIEW OF JULY 30 OPEN HOUSE
8:08:22 PM
Associate Planner Farrelly said the Downtown Improvement Plan recommended the implementation of design standards
and land use revisions to carry out the guiding vision and principles. He said the updated Comprehensive Plan chapter for
the Downtown Urban Renewal District includes policies and action measures calling for the development of design
guidelines and standards that encourage attractive downtown commercial and residential architecture. They encouraged
land use regulations with uses suitable for an urban village.
He said a committee comprised of City Center Advisory Commission (CCAQ members and Planning Commission
members has been working with staff over the past nine months on a draft of new design standards and land use changes.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - JULY 15, 2008
City of Tigard, 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page S of 10
discussed the use of Form Based Code in the downtown area urban renewal district. He said the Design Standards Draft
uses Form based Code.
Draft will have three review paths:
Over the counter option
Type II
Type III
There will be a New Zone: Mixed Use Central Business District
Most of the urban renewal district is Commercial
Restricted zoning for those non-conforming uses.
Code Amendment balances the need to foster viability of existing nonconforming development and
nonconforming businesses with the public policy
Associate Planner Farrelly discussed the Council the public involvement process which includes an open house on July 03,
2008 with all downtown property and business owners and other interested parties invited. He said it would also be
advertised in the Cityscape and in newspapers. He said the draft code will be available for review on the C'ity's website for
two weeks prior to the open house. He said staff will personally contact property owners to encourage participation.
After the open house a Consultant, paid for by a grant, will review the work After any changes are made the committee
will see it again. Then CCAC, Planning
Councilor Buehner asked, "Are you having another open house focused on businesses and property after the consultant
changes it but before the public hearings?" Associate Planner Farrelly said that was a good idea. Perhaps makes sense if
there are many changes. Councilor Woodruff agreed with this, saying, " We need to do more than our fair share to seek
as much input as possible."
Councilor Wilson surprised by one zoning. How do you address different uses?
AP Farrelly: Using form based code you will get. One zone refers to uses that will be allowed. Areas will be designated
to have certain building types. They are separate zones but with form based code we are less concemed with building use
as types of buildings in different areas.
Bunch we have vital businesses downtown. They have been there a long time. We want to ensure that current vital
businesses know they are welcome. Over time, the market will make the decision.
Mayor said this idea is intriguing. Councilor Buehner said it is important that citizen members participate as owners may
be more comfortable approaching them than a Councilor or staff person.
Councilor Wilson advised being careful about design review and suggested putting in place a strong professional design
review committee. He suggested using architectural professionals to stand firm and keep developers to our standards.
Associate Planner Farrelly said the subcommittee also recommended a professional review board.
Assistant Community Development Manager Bunch said they talked about these concepts with the Tigard Downtown.....
The reception was good. Their concerns included:
• Maintaining a small scale pedestrian-oriented feel
• Creating a place where people are not afraid to come.
• Traditional forms of architecture were desired.
• Use these standards elsewhere in downtown besides Main St.
Mayor Dirksen asked if this would hold up to legal challenges. Associate Planner Farrelly said Tigard will be using a
hybrid, not a strict form- based code and the consultant will help to ensure consistency with State rules.

.8:36:07 PM Mayor Dirksen reconvened City Council.
4. DISCUSS TIGARD TRIANGLE ELEMENT OF THE TIGARD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
UPDATE
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said the Tigard Triangle is designated as a Mixed Use
Employment center. The opportunity to be designated as a regional center has been lost due to the
transportation issues. If we can make transit part of the transportation system solution. Asked Council for
input.
Councilor Sherwood said she read in the paper that Target was putting in money for transportation
improvements. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said transportation improvements will
solve the problem of the traffic created by the store, but not beyond that. There is still the question of what
happens beyond that. One option is to use it for denser housing because it wouldn't create the same traffic.
There is a proposal that may come to the land use phase.
Councilor Wilson said this area is unique, with three major highways crossing it. He said he did not favor high
density housing there. He suggested holding out for the highest and best use. He noted that back when the Phil
Lewis School closed, people said living there was not the greatest anyway, due to the heavy traffic. Need to call
attention to the problem of ODOT saying we can't build what people really want to build. Said he thought if
there is housing built there - it should be urban.
ACDD Bunch'said transit and redeveloping the Highway 99W Corridor as well as the Walnut extension would
help with the Triangle.
Councilor Wilson asked about improving connectivity to local streets.
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said asking development to -------buy into capacity needs
of the Triangle. Another thing, ODOT said they would like to see a refined vision for the Triangle.
Mayor Dirksen agreed that it should be zoned and developed to the highest use. There is an opportunity for
housing there. Don't rule it out. But we should identify how we want to develop it.
Councilor Buehner expressed concerns about building two to three-story buildings that have a low floor area
ratio. The Washington Square Regional Center has some of the same issues. Any development impacts the side
streets and the flyover ramps will help move people.
Councilor Wilson - levy SDC so each development pays for their impact.
Bunch -this is a great urban problem to have. Opportunity to look at how to use this land and
CCAC Member Barkley said the impact comes from I-5 and 217 coming into the Triangle area rather than
traffic going the the other way.
CCAC Member Barkley asked who regulates traffic lights on 72nd Avenue going over 217. She mentioned that
there are many lights on 72nd Avenue one has a three-car only length that creates traffic bottlenecks. Mr.
Bunch will talk to Engineer Duenas and Right-of-Way Manager McCarthy and get an answer to her question.

5. DISCUSS PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE PROCESS TO APPOINT AD-HOC CITIZEN ADVISORY
COMMITTEES
Assistant Planner Daniels presented this item. Mayor Dirksen asked Council if they had read the materials and
were in agreement with staff's suggestion. Councilor Woodruff said, "This is OK only for groups that are going
to be short-lived."
Councilor Buehner suggested having a generalized call for interested people and setting up a pool.from those
names. Short-lived committees would be pulled from this pool of citizens who know there will be a need for
short-term committees and they may be called. but keep this a transparent system.
Sherwood didn't think this would make much difference. Ron Bunch said staff works with many people and
gets to know people who are interested in what the City is doing.
Daniels gives us flexibility
Woodruff is concerned about the appearance of cronyism. Bunch - maybe we should try this for a year,
monitor it and seek feedback and ask Council in one year to see if it made the citizen involvement process more
dynamic. Councilor Buehner said she wants a clear rule about checking in with this process.
Wilson current system is too formal. If you have a pool that you get to know, it would avoid some of the
problems we've been having. Heard that City of Portland is very careful about who they put on committees. Is
an advocate of training people
Take Council out of process up front allows staff to choose people who can go through this training first.
Mayor said there is a general consensus for staff to appoint ad-hoc advisory committees
Mayor Dirksen said there is a need to reconvene committees such as Transportation Financing Committee.
Consider standing committees such as a Transportation Committee. Wanted to direct staff to pursue this. Ron
said he worked for a City with a Transportation Advisory Committee. and there was always a rep from this
group on the Planning Commission.
6. 9:19:18 PM REVIEW COUNCIL GROUNDRULES
Assistant City Manager Prosser reviewed the proposed Council Groundrules and suggested changes. One
suggestion is the Groundrules should be in sections. Councilor Buehner suggested looking at time spent on
consent agendas.
Councilor Sherwood noted often a presentation is read by staff from prepared notes that Council has already
read prior to the meeting. Councilor Buehner said the discussions need to be shown and the reason for
decisions is the "meat" of the process and that needs to be shown. Assistant City Manager Newton noted that
some scheduling of items on the agenda was due to outside agencies wanting to do a presentation that will be
seen on television. Councilor Wilson said we've done a good job of starting to limit those. He said it is easier
now to download meeting materials from the internet so Council doesn't need to have a big presentation the
night of the meeting.

Councilor Woodruff noted that on page one - occasionally other meetings are called for such as first Tuesdays
and meetings with the School District, for example. Page seven - This event should not just be for
candidates, but for anyone who is interested in what the City Council does. Assistant City Manager Newton
said she thought the "other meetings" belonged in the section highlighted in green.
Mayor Dirksen said he agreed with Councilor Buehner that times for point of order and adjournment were
overly optimistic. Councilor Sherwood said the goal ought to be 9:00 p.m. Councilor Buehner said there
should be a two-hour window for a meeting. Page 2: Change Point of Order time to 9:00 but adjournment at

ISSUE BEFORE THE CITY CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Receive staff's update on draft design standards and proposed land use changes, which will help implement the Tigard
Downtown Improvement Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive staff's update and provide feedback.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan recommended implementation of design standards and land use revisions to
carry out its vision and guiding principles. The updated Comprehensive Plan chapter for the Downtown Urban
Renewal District includes Policies and Action Measures that call for the development of design guidelines and
standards that encourage attractive and inviting downtown commercial and residential architecture and the adoption
of land use regulations with uses suitable for an urban village.
A subcommittee made up of members of the CCAC and Planning Commission has been working with staff over
the past nine months on a draft of new design standards and land use changes. The following is a summary of the
proposed code amendments and adoption process:
Draft Development Code Amendments
• Design Standards include form based code concepts, such as regulating the design of buildings based on
their type of use and relying on graphics to illustrate requirements.
• The proposed regulations offer three development review options.
a. An "over the counter" option is provided that allows "minor" exterior remodeling to occur
based on staff review and issuance of a building permit.
b. Type II Process: Under the Type II process an applicant can propose a building and site design
based on clear and objective criteria which can be reviewed and approved by staff.
C. Type III Process: This process accommodates the applicant that desires to develop a project
that does not fit the specific clear and objective design criteria. It provides the opportunity for a
development proposal to be reviewed by a Design Review Board to determine if it meets broad
design guidelines.
• Allow additions to, and renovations of, existing buildings (including nonconforming structures), as long as
the new project conforms to applicable design regulations.

• Balance the need to foster the viability of existing nonconforming development and nonconforming
businesses with the public policy goal of an attractive, pedestrian oriented, downtown.
Public Review and Adoption Process
• An open house has been scheduled for July 30, 2008, with all downtown property and business owners and
interested parties invited.
• The open house will summarize the proposed changes and ask for feedback.
• Draft code will be available online for review two weeks prior to the open house.
• Online comments will be able to be made.
• The City Center Advisory Commission and the Tigard Central Business District Association will have been
briefed prior to the Open House date.
• There are number of additional steps to take prior to the adoption of the proposed changes:
a. Review of the language by a consultant and the creation of graphics to illustrate the regulations.
b. Reconvening the subcommittee and presentation to City Center Advisory Commission.
C. Planning Commission public workshops and hearings, and workshops and hearings by the
Council.

FROM: Sean Farrelly, Associate Planner
RE: Update on Draft Design Standards and Proposed Land Use Changes for
Downtown Urban Renewal District
DATE: June 27, 2008
The Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan recommends implementation of design standards
and other development code revisions to carry out its vision and guiding principles. In April
2007, the Comprehensive Plan was amended to implement the TDIP in the Downtown
Urban Renewal District. It included Policies and Action Measures that call for the
development of design guidelines and standards that encourage attractive and inviting
downtown commercial and residential architecture and. the adoption of land use regulations
with uses suitable for an urban village.
A subcommittee made up of members of the CCAC and Planning Commission has been
working with staff over the past nine months on a draft of design standards and land use
changes for Downtown Tigard.
The draft Development Code Amendments will consist of two parts.
1. A new code section would consist of Downtown site and building design standards.
These standards would:
• Use form based code concepts, such as regulating the design of building based on
their type of use, and relying on graphics to illustrate requirements. A map will
specify the location of different building types (Storefront Mixed Use Buildings,
Corridor Mixed Use Buildings, Corridor Retail Buildings, Office Employment
Buildings, Multi-Family Residential Buildings, and Single-Family Attached Buildings.)
• The proposed regulations offer three development review options.
a. An "over the counter" option is provided that allows "minor" exterior
remodeling to occur based on staff review and issuance of a building permit.
b. Type II Process: Under the Type II process an applicant can propose a building
and site design based on clear and objective criteria which can be reviewed and
approved by staff
c. Type III Process: This process accommodates the applicant that desires to
develop a project that does not fit the specific clear and objective design criteria.
1
It provides the opportunity for a development proposal to be reviewed by a
Design Review Board to determine if it meets broad design guidelines.
• Balance the need to foster the viability of existing nonconforming development and
nonconforming businesses with the public policy goal of an attractive, pedestrian
oriented, downtown. Existing businesses and structures will continue and transition
will occur with redevelopment. Major remodeling of existing buildings and
development of new buildings would require design review to be in conformance
with the standards.
2. Amendments to the Commercial Zoning District chapter would:
• Create a new zone- Mixed Use-Central Business District (MU-CBD) encompassing
all properties in the Urban Renewal District. The privately owned parcels in the
Urban Renewal District are currently zoned Central Business District (CBD),
General Commercial (C-G), and Commercial Professional (C-P) and R-4.5. New
development will have to be coordinated with the building type map in the design
standards chapter.
• Many of the existing land uses that are not compatible with the vision of the TDIP,
will be zoned "Restricted" rather than "Not Permitted." These uses existing on the
date the code is adopted will be allowed to continue and not be considered "non-
conforming", but new uses of this type would not be permitted.
The draft code currently has several sections that need further refinement, but there is
consensus on the above major features. Several additional steps will be taken after the open
house. A consultant team (paid for by a DLCD grant) will review the code and provide
recommendations for changes, as well as create graphics. The design subcommittee and
CCAC will review the draft prior to Planning Commission and City Council public hearings.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Council Discussion of Tigard Triangle Element of the Tigard Transportation System Plan Update
Prepared By: Ron Bunch Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval: d
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Discussion with staff land use and transportation issues affecting the Tigard Triangle.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the principal land use and transportation issues affecting the Tigard Triangle and provide general direction to
staff before these matters are considered as part of the Tigard Transportation System Plan Update.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Tigard Triangle faces significant barriers to its future development. The primary obstacles are the lack of capacity
on the adjacent state and interstate roadway system, and the tremendous cost necessary to maintain/create capacity.
However, there are other impediments including fragmented property ownership and inadequate funding to build local
streets and other infrastructure. The priorities of funding the regional transportation system also impact the Triangle's
future. The Tigard Triangle needs access and capacity improvements to the 1-5 and Hwy 217 freeway system.
However, these are relatively low funding priorities for the state and regional governments. In addition to the fact that
funds are not available, the Triangle and adjacent areas are not high profile Metro design types. The region 2040 Plan
designates the Triangle and areas to the south as an Employment Center rather than a Regional Center, or Regionally
Significant Industrial/Employment area. It is probably not possible to address this situation since the Metro Design
Types were established and applied in the early- to mid-1990s, when the Metro Region 2040 Plan was prepared.
It is unlikely that any large scale commercial or office development in the Triangle can occur without major
transportation investments to the interstate and state system. Also, declining capacity of the state road and interstate
system may, in the future, limit development of smaller commercial and office projects. Residential development is
another matter since it does not have the PM peak traffic impacts as does commercial/office land uses. It may be,
in the absence of multi-million dollar funding sources, that medium- to high-density residential land uses become
the most feasible land uses for the Triangle's remaining developable land.
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Region 1 and Metro recognize the importance of working with Tigard
to find solutions to the Triangle's transportation/ land use problem. Therefore, ODOT will fund, through the Tigard
Transportation Plan update, a special study of the Triangle. The TSP study will focus on transportation issues.
However, staff's objective is to use the effort to create integrated transportation / land use plan consistent with existing
highway capacities and/or the ability to fund capacity improvements with realistically available resources.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Craig Dirksen and Members of City Council
FROM: Ron Bunch, Assistant Community Development Director
RE: Transportation and Land Use Planning for the Tigard Triangle
DATE: July 1, 2008
INTRODUCTION
The following summarizes 1) past Tigard Triangle planning efforts; 2) previous Council decisions
related to the Triangle; 3) state and regional transportation funding priorities; and 4) impacts of Oregon
Highway Plan's Mobility Standards on future Triangle Development.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Location, Size and Land Use Designations
The Tigard Triangle is a 340 acre area, bounded by three major roadways; State Highways 99W and 217
to the north and south, respectively, and Interstate 5 to the west. Land use designations in the area are
General Commercial (C-G) and Mixed Use Employment (MUE).
Planning History
During the mid- to late-1980's, the Triangle was viewed as having potential for significant economic
development and housing potential. Subsequently, between 1986 and 1994 the City, property
owners/investors, and the Oregon Department of Transportation participated in several Triangle
related land use and transportation studies.
At the outset, these studies recognized that congestion on the local, state, and interstate road systems
presented significant existing and future problems. It was recognized that significant transportation
improvements would be needed. These included a full gamut such as, transportation management
measures, improved transit service, better biking and walking facilities, and major street and freeway
interchange improvements. However, many of these recommendations have not been implemented;
especially the high cost freeway interchange improvements. Neither has Triangle land uses received
better transit service.
Also, previous plans recommended that a substantial portion of new land uses in the Triangle be higher
density housing. This was because housing has less of "peak-hour" transportation than retail or office
1
uses. Housing was also promoted as a means to provide customers for Triangle area retail businesses
and close-to-work living opportunities. In fact, planning studies done in 1991, 1992, and 1994 were
done on the basis of a Tigard Planning Commission goal to `Create a living and working environment not now
available in the City that is urban in character and complementary to the rest of the community. "
Despite the planning work, the Tigard City Council did not commit to a specific land
use/transportation plan. Records show that Council did not choose to adopt the 1992/93 Tigard
Triangle Area Plan. In 1994 refinements were made to these plans; however Council again declined
action and then passed a resolution to withdraw Comprehensive Plan and Zoning map amendments
that would have implemented the Triangle Area Plan. One of the reasons for this action was that many
property owners complained that their land was proposed for high density residential instead of
commercial uses. They perceived that a commercial designation would increase their land value more
than if it were zoned for residential uses.
In 1998 - 99, the City designated much of the Triangle as Mixed Use Employment WE) District to
permit a wide range of retail and employment uses and multi-family housing at a maximum density of
25 units per acre. At that time, Tigard also adopted basic design standards for Triangle development.
Also, at the urging of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Tigard adopted
Development Code standards to not allow the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of Triangle commercial,.
industrial, and mixed-use development to exceed .40. Residential uses were not made subject to the
FAR restriction. The FAR limitation was adopted to address the Oregon Highway Plan's mobility
standards. The result is that new office and commercial uses have been, and will likely continue to
be, constructed as low rise buildings with surface parking.
Even though medium density housing (R-25) is allowed by the MUE designation, not much new
housing has been developed. There are several possible reasons for this. It may be that the allowed
density is too low to justify the conversion of potentially higher value commercial land to housing;
the general location and/or market may not suitable for this type of housing; and/or it may be
difficult to assemble the existing small parcels into a large enough development site to make medium
density housing feasible.
Oregon Highway Plan's Mobility Standards
Another major change, since the early Triangle Planning efforts were concluded, was the state's
adoption of volume/capacity mobility standards as part of the Oregon Highway Plan. The states
mobility standards are used to, `coordinate land use and transportation decisions to maintain the mobility of the
highway system. " The bottom line is that traffic volumes on Interstate 5, Highway's 217 and 99W
either exceed, or almost exceed, the capacity of these facilities.
All of these facilities are identified as critical to the transportation mobility of the state and the
region. Because of this, ODOT will not support land use actions in the Triangle that make the
mobility situation worse, unless needed improvements are made. The City of Tigard's Development
Code requirements for providing transportation and other public facilities reinforce the state's
position. The City requires improvements proportionate to a development's overall impacts. As it
stands now, if a development project is determined to push the roadway system over capacity, a
condition of development approval system will be to fund improvements to maintain system
mobility.

Current Transportation and Land Use Status of the Tigard
The Tigard Triangle faces significant barriers to its future development. The primary obstacles are the
lack of capacity on the adjacent state and interstate roadway system, and the tremendous cost necessary
to maintain/create capacity. However, there are other impediments, including fragmented property
ownership and inadequate funding to build local streets and other infrastructure. The priorities of
funding the regional transportation system also impact the Triangle's future. The Tigard Triangle needs
access and capacity improvements to the I-5 and Hwy 217 Freeway system. However, these are
relatively low funding priorities for the state and regional governments. In addition to the act that funds
are not available, the Triangle and adjacent areas are not high profile Metro design types. The region
2040 Plan designates the Triangle and areas to the south as an Employment Center instead of a
Regional Center, or Regionally Significant Industrial/Employment area. It is probably not possible to
address this situation since the Metro Design Types were established and applied in the early to mid
1990s when the Metro Region 2040 Plan was prepared.
It is unlikely that any large scale commercial or office development in the Triangle can occur without
major transportation investments to the interstate and state system. Also, declining capacity of the
state road and interstate system may, in the future, limit development of smaller commercial and
office projects. Residential development is another matter since it does not have the critical PM
peak traffic impacts as does commercial/office land uses. It may be, in the absence of multi-million
dollar funding sources, that medium- to high-density residential land uses become the most feasible
land uses for the Triangle's remaining developable land.
The Tigard Triangle Component of the Tigard Transportation System Plan
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Region 1 and Metro are aware of these problems and
recognize the importance of working with Tigard to find solutions to the Triangle's transportation/
land use problem. Therefore, ODOT will fund, through the Tigard Transportation Plan update, a
special study of the Triangle. The TSP study will focus on transportation issues. Staff's objective is to
use the effort to create an integrated transportation / land use plan consistent with existing highway
capacities and/or the ability to fund capacity improvements with realistically available resources.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Tide Proposed Alternative Process to appoint ad-hoc Citizen Advisory Committees Discussion
~ a
Prepared By: Ron Bunch/Darren Wyss Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should Council employ a different process to select and appoint Citizen Advisory Committees (CACs) for limited
duration planning and other projects?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council adopt an alternative process that is staff initiated, with final approvals by City Council,
for the selection and appointment of short-term Citizen Advisory Committees (CACs). It is also recommended to
maintain the existing process for ongoing boards and commissions and short-term committees identified by Council at
the time of creation.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
One of Council's long range planning objectives is that "Tigard's citizens are involved in the community and
participate effectively." Staff proposes using a more efficient solicitation and appointment process for ad-hoc
Citizen Advisory Committees (CACs) that would better accomplish this objective than the current process of
committee formation.
At Council's May 27, 2008 study session, staff presented an alternative process to appoint ad-hoc CACs. Council at
this time directed staff to take the proposal to the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) for input and
recommendation before making a decision. Staff presented the proposal to the CCI at its June 18, 2008 meeting for
discussion. The CCI unanimously approved recommending the City Council revise the process to appoint ad-hoc
CACs according to staff's proposal. The CCI felt the proposal would make the process more flexible, and ease the
time commitment on Council's part while maintaining its control on the purpose and membership of the CACs (see
Attachment 1: CCI meeting minutes).
The current process to appoint CACs, regardless of their duration, involves a long period of advertising/ solicitation,
candidate selection, Council interviews, official appointment, and dissolution. It takes many weeks, and sometimes
months, for this to happen. This process is appropriate for standing advisory boards and committees, such as the
Planning Commission, Parks Board, and the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI), or for ad-hoc committees
dealing with certain high interest issues. However, a quicker, more efficient process is needed to appoint ad-hoc
CACs and sunset them when the task is complete. This is especially important when the City has a number of
projects underway or planned that require citizen input.
I:\LRPLN\Council Materials\2008\7-15-08 AIS Alternate Process for CAC Appointment.doc 1
The CQ supports the proposed solicitation and appointment process for ad-hoc CACs be as follows:
1. Staff advises Council that the formation of an ad-hoc CAC is needed via a Council meeting consent agenda.
Notice to Council includes a purpose and charge statement with a sunset clause, stakeholder groups to be
represented, and meeting protocols;
2. If approved by Council, staff then solicits and chooses qualified CAC members and submits names for
Council approval, also through the consent agenda process.
If Council wishes, it can decide to change the nature or direction of the CAC appointment process in one or both
of the above steps. For example, Council may decide that a proposed CAC is of such importance that Council
interviews are necessary or that specific stakeholder groups require representation.
Other important features of this proposal are that it saves Council time and effort by removing the interview
process. A more timely response to citizens interested in civic participation would also result. Staff believes a more
flexible, efficient CAC appointment process could encourage more citizen involvement in important City issues.
Staff also conducted a survey of neighboring jurisdictions after Council's direction to bring the proposal to the CQ.
Three of the five cities that were contacted have no interview process for appointing temporary committees, while the
other two only interview unknown parties. Staff's,proposed process is very similar to Sherwood, West Linn, and
Tualatin.
■ West Linn - no Council interview process
■ 'Beaverton - only interview unknown parties (interviews conducted by staff and City Council)
■ Lake Oswego - same process as Beaverton
■ Tualatin- . ,no Council interview. process ,
■ Sherwood - members recommended by Planning Manager and-appointed by Council
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
• Provide staff specific direction to modify its proposal for an alternative ad-hoc CAC appointment process.
• Retain the current process for ad-hoc CACs and not consider an alternative appointment process.

4. Promote and honor good citizenship in Tigard.

4. APPROVE MEETING MINUTES
Chairman Basil Christopher asked committee members if they had any May meeting
minute emendations. Sue asked her attendance to be switched from present to absent as
she missed the last meeting. Basil commented on two of the items in the minutes:
1. On page two, Kim McMillan, City Engineering Manager, said that "heavy
machinery going over a concrete sidewalk can damage the sidewalk. In such cases,
a temporary asphalt sidewalk may be allowed as an interim improvement." Basil
feels the original sidewalk should not be removed until it becomes a safety hazard.
He witnessed a key section of sidewalk on Greenberg Rd which was removed for
construction and not replaced for two years.
2. On page four, the minutes read, "Next year, the CCI may be asked to organize a
City-wide conference." Basil asked the minutes be emended to add, "...such as the
Fanno Creek Conference."

5. BARROWS RD CLOSURE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT STRATEGY
Project Engineer, Mike McCarthy, drew a map on the board of the Barrows Rd area,
including Davies Rd, which was omitted on the handout. Mike stated that he was there
to report on what the County is planning for the Barrows bridge closure. First, Mike
gave a brief history about the plans surrounding Barrows Road. Closure of the Barrows
Road intersection with Scholls Ferry Road has been in the County's plans since 1983.
Ultimately, the County would like to solve the problem on Scholls Ferry Rd, where
there are two intersections (135`h and Barrows Road) that are too close together. The
County's long range plans also included the extension of Murray Blvd. to Walnut (which
was recently completed) and the extension of Davies Rd to Barrows. The extension of
Davies Rd would have to be a joint City of Beaverton and County project. Due to the
wetlands in the area, it is estimated the project cost to extend Davies is in the $5 million
dollar range. Mike does not anticipate the project to be completed in the near future.
Bringing about the current desire of Washington County to close the Barrows Bridge is
the deterioration of the pilecaps supporting the bridge. There is currently a five ton
weight limit imposed on motorists, meaning the bridge is unsafe even for school busses.
Traffic counts over the bridge were 8,000 cars per day prior to the opening of the Murray
Blvd. extension and are still at about 6,500 cars per day currently.
The City of Tigard got wind of the plans to close the bridge from a developer who is
currently building at the intersection of Barrows Rd and Scholls Ferry who is wondering
if he will still need to build the half street improvement. The County originally shared
with the City that they were planning to close the bridge in June or July. The County
expressed that closure of the bridge was the best option since Barrows Rd closure has
been in the County's long range plans for more than 20 years.
Knowing that the closure of Barrows Rd would significantly impact Tigard residents,
Mike reported that he wrote memos to the City Council in May, posted the closure on
the City's website, submitted an article to the June edition of Cityscape, answered
numerous questions and complaints from neighborhood residents, attended the June 4`h
CCI MEETING MINUTES - June 18, 2008 - Page 2
I:tLRPLN1Counci1 Materials12008W-15-08 Attachment 1 Meeting Minutes CCI.doc
CPO 4B meeting with representatives from Washington County. In addition, there was a
June 5`h article in the Tigard Times.
Gary, who lives in the vicinity of the Barrows Rd closure, pointed to the development
not only directly next to the bridge, but all along Barrows Rd and Walnut as significantly
increasing the amount of traffic in this area.
Bev suggested the County complete the Davies Rd extension before closing Barrows Rd.
Mike estimated replacement of the Barrows Bridge to cost $1 million because of
environmental regulations due to the floodplain, and for rehabilitation to cost $100
thousand. Replacement would include the addition of bike lanes and pedestrian facilities.
Basil spoke to the fact that although rehabilitation offers the least costly temporary
solution, sometimes rehabilitation is not the best option. The demand for the current
bridge may be more than what the bridge can actually support. He suggested the County
spend the $100 thousand now, and save money for the Davies Rd extension.
Myrna asked what the City can do, since this is a Washington County project. The
bridge is 1/ in Tigard, 1/ in Beaverton. Mike responded there are members of Council
who live in this area and are pushing for the bridge to remain open. It is possible that
rehabilitation may not be possible due to the environmental regulations.
Mike passed out the City's Draft Communication Plan for the Barrows Rd closure in
response to Myrna's question. The City's position is, "The City of Tigard has asked
Washington County for a full evaluation of all the available alternatives in a process that
is open to the public and seriously considers public input before a decision is made on the
future of the bridge." The Communications plan goes on to state, "While this is
ultimately a County decision, we recognize its importance to our citizens, so we will
continue to keep as well-informed as possible."
Bev asked what came out of the CPO 4B meeting. Mike responded that there were about
30 people in attendance. The County shared that closure of the bridge is in their long
range plan. The lead bridge inspector for Washington County spoke to the condition of
the bridge. Citizens expressed interest in leaving the bridge open.
Myrna asked if any outreach has been done to the neighborhoods near the bridge. Basil
asked how we quantify the impact to these residents. Bev suggested that we need to look
at the bigger picture. This problem is not something that was created overnight. She
reiterated her point that Davies Rd should be completed before the bridge is closed.
CCI MEETING MINUTES - June 18, 2008 - Page 3
1ALRPLN\Counai1 MaterielsQ00BU-15-08 Attachment 1 Meeting Minutes CCI.doc
Gary said they have more than doubled the population of that area. He can't conceive of
how road maintenance was overlooked.
Bev read in letter in the newspaper from one of the neighborhoods near the bridge that
they had not yet been contacted by the City or the County about the bridge closure.
Mike knows of one neighborhood that contacted the City and sent out information
about the closure in their neighborhood newsletter.
Mike's main concern about the closure is the traffic impacts on the intersection of
Walnut and 135`h. The Committee agreed. By Mike's analysis, there are about 17 cars
waiting in line after the pm peak time. If the bridge were to close, this will increase to 24
cars according to Mike. The County has offered to pay for half the costs of a traffic signal
at 135tth and Walnut if the bridge closes.
Mike asked for suggestions specific to the Communications Plan. Gary suggested the
traffic count results be shared with neighbors. Basil suggested Tigard City Councilors
talk to Washington County and urge them to include citizens in the decision making
process. He also suggested the County post a sign near the proposed closure with
information about how to submit public comment. Myrna agreed, saying many who use
the road may not receive or read the Tigard Cityscape Newsletter.
Gary feels there will be additional traffic implications on Walnut St and Tiedeman. Mike
agreed.
Basil said it would be nice to know that the County's plan is for making a decision and
involving citizens. Mike reported that Washington County has said there will be a public
hearing on this topic, but that it has not been scheduled to this date.
Myrna asked Mike if the closure was already a done deal. Mike responded it seemed like
that a few months ago, but now the County seems to be taking into consideration the
community's concerns. He encouraged the committee to share any concerns they have
with County staff.
6. AD-HOC CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT
PROCESS
Darren Wyss, Associate Planner, stated his purpose was to see if the Committee would
support a new process for appointing short-duration project specific citizen advisory
committees, or whether they would prefer to stay with the old process. The new process
is more efficient and would only be used for limited duration committees. Darren
CCI MEETING MINUTES - June 18, 2008 - Page 4
I:\LRPLN\Council Matenals\2008\7-15-08 Attachment 1 Meeting Minutes CC Ldoc
suggested this would foster more involvement because of the reduced amount of
bureaucracy.
First, Darren outlined the current process, which involves a long period of
advertising/solicitation, candidate selection, Council interviews, official appointment,
and dissolution, regardless of the committee's duration. It takes many weeks and
sometimes months for this to happen. A quicker, more efficient, process is needed to
appoint ad-hoc Citizen Advisory Committees (CACs) and to sunset them when the task
is complete.
Next, Darren outlined the proposed process for the solicitation and appointment of ad-
hoc committees:
1. Staff advises Council that the formation of an ad-hoc CAC is needed via a
Council meeting consent agenda. Notice to Council includes a purpose and
charge statement with a sunset clause, stakeholder groups to be represented, and
meeting protocols;
2. Subsequently, staff solicits and chooses qualified CAC members and submits
names for Council approval, also through the consent agenda process.
There is an opportunity for Council to be involved in one or both of these steps. This
proposal would save Council time and effort by removing the interview process. This
more flexible process would encourage more citizen involvement in City issues.
Darren spoke about the appointment process in surrounding jurisdictions. The process
proposed by staff is very similar to the process used in Sherwood, West Linn, and
Tualatin. Staff has identified a number of potential CACs to be appointed in the near
future. If each contained 7-9 citizens the interview process could be overwhelming.
Bev asked why Council reviews these short duration committees. Darren found the
original resolution (95-60) which calls for interviews, but only for the Budget
Committee, the Library Board, and the Planning Commission.
Gary asked if the proposal was coming from City Council, and if staff felt comfortable
with the additional responsibilities. Darren responded, no, the proposal originated with
staff and they feel comfortable with any additional duties. Gary thinks this is a good
idea, it puts the burden off City Council.
Patty asked, and Darren clarified, that City Council will still be able to interview
candidates if they choose to do so. Council could also suggest individuals to fill
positions. Patty feels this would give Council much more flexibility. Sue and Anastasia
agreed.
CCI MEETING MINUTES - June 18, 2008 - Page 5
I:\LRPLN\Council Mateiials\2008\7-15-08 Attachment 1 Meeting Minutes CCI.doc
Basil asked if staff would have a ready list of people to call on as opportunities arise. This
could be part of a leadership academy which he has suggested previously. Darren said
absolutely, this would be very advantageous to staff. Myrna and Bev also think this is a
good idea.
Darren responded to a question by Basil that this process would hold for task forces
also. Basil suggested a contact list to get a quick pulse of the community when important
issues arise.
On July 15 Darren will report back to Council on this matter and he will share the
result with the CCI.
There was a motion by Basil, seconded by Myrna, to recommend City Council revise the
process used to appoint ad hoc citizen advisory committees according to Staffs proposal.
AYES: Christopher, Boyce, Froude, Jelinek, Anda, Adriano, Carver
NAYS: None
ABSTENTIONS: None
EXCUSED: Caffall, Islas, Lavear
7. REVISE CCI MISSION STATEMENT
Marissa Daniels, Assistant Planner read the CCI's mission statement:
"The Tigard CCI reviews the form and process of the City's communications
with City residents to improve those communications, and to encourage City
residents to be more involved with City affairs."
Gary suggested one change to the mission statement indicating 2-way communication
between the City and its residents. He suggested,
"The Tigard CCI reviews the form and process of the City's communications
with City residents, and resident's communication with the City to improve
those communications and to encourage City residents to be more involved with
City affairs."
Marissa suggested the wording of Gary's suggestion be changed to read:
"The Tigard CCI reviews the form and process of 2-way communication
between the City and its residents to improve those communications and to
encourage City residents to be more involved with City affairs."
CCI MEETING MINUTES - June 18, 2008 - Page 6
I:LLRPLN\Council Matedals\2008\7.15-08 Attachment I Meeting Minutes CCI.doc
Myrna suggested the punctuation be changed because the word communication occurs
twice in the sentence. Gary suggested Marissa and Myrna's suggestions be combined.
There was a motion by Basil, seconded by Anastasia, to amend the mission statement as
read by Marissa.
AYES: Christopher, Boyce, Froude, Jelinek, Anda, Adriano, Carver
NAYS: None
ABSTENTIONS: None
EXCUSED: Caffall, Islas, Lavear
8. OTHER BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/ NEXT AGENDA
Bev called Marissa earlier in the week and asked her to provide more information
about the issues Council was considering that week. The following information was
provided:
1. Darren spoke about the Transportation System Plan Update which is
scheduled to begin July 3 Ft. Darren is hoping to appoint the Citizen Advisory
Committee for the project in August. Responding to questions by the CCI,
Darren shared that the project website will be run by the consultant and that
as part of the matching funds staff would be involved in every step of the
citizen involvement process.
2. The Burnham Street project is currently on hold. There has been a generally
negative reaction to the use of Condemnation for the project; meanwhile
project costs continue to rise. Council held a meeting with the City Center
Advisory Commission (CCAC) to determine the fate of the project. The
Council decided to take additional time to engage the property owners along
Burnham Street. This will probably mean increased project cost and delay of
construction set to begin this summer.
3. Staff and representatives from the Planning Commission and CCAC are
currently working on Code Amendments to add Downtown design standards
to the Development Code. There will be an open house at the end of July to
solicit input from downtown businesses, property owners, and community
members.
Gary mentioned his concerns that Tigard is not at the table in the discussions of the
1-5 to Hwy 99W connector project. Because this project will have huge implications
on traffic in Tigard, he asked for more information from staff about Tigard's
involvement in this project. Basil suggested this be a future agenda item.
Also suggested for future agenda items:
CCI MEETING MINUTES - June 18, 2008 - Page 7
I:\LRPLN\Council Matedals\200W-15-08 Attachment I Meeting Minutes CCI.doc
1. The Parks System Master Plan survey will be complete soon. Patty was
contacted by phone as part of this survey. The Committee was interested in
how the survey was done and what the results were.
2. Gary would like the Committee to consider revision of the boundaries of his
neighborhood. As Liz has suggested, these issues will be resolved by the
Committee.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Review of City Council Groundrules
Prepared By: Liz Newton Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Discussion of City Council Groundrules
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Review the current Groundrules and reach consensus on modifications.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Chapter IV Section 13 of the city's charter requires the City Council to adopt rules for government of its
members and proceedings. The Council reviews and updates Groundrules annually.
On June 24 and July 10, 2007, Council discussed its Groundrules and agreed to make changes. Resolution
07-48 was adopted on July 24, 2007 approving revised Groundrules.
The current "City Council Groundrules and Agenda Process" contain essentially three elements.
Requirements related to the City Charter are included. These sections are highlighted in yellow. Provisions of
the Groundrules generally related to Council meeting procedures and other processes are highlighted in green.
Some of these processes and procedures reflect other actions taken by Council. The third component of the
existing Groundrules primarily relate to communications and interactions of Council members with each
other, staff and the public. These sections are highlighted in blue.
On May 17, 2008, the City Council met and reached consensus on communication guidelines which are
attached. These guidelines should be incorporated into the Council Groundrules and as appropriate, replace
existing communication guidelines.
The Council Services Task Force made four recommendations to the City Council in April 2008 which were
accepted by Council. It's appropriate to include three into the Council Groundrules.
• Recommendation #1- Shorten the length of the City Council meetings. That change is shown on page
two of the attached guidelines in the section on "Conduct of City Meetings."
• Recommendation #3 - Leave compensation for current Council members at the current level with one
exception. Budget up to $42,000 annually for one elected official (Mayor or Council member) to be
compensated for up to 20-hours per week to assume specific additional Council responsibilities. That
change is shown on page two of the attached Groundrules.
• Recommendation #4 - City Council members host an event sometime in May to share what is involved
in serving on Council. That proposed change is shown on page seven of the attached Council
Groundrules.
Staff suggests that Council consider formatting the Groudrules as one document with three sections. One
section reflecting Charter Requirements, one for Meeting Procedures and Process, and one for Groundrules
related to Communication and Interaction with each other, staff and the public.
Council members may have other suggestions for changes to the Groundrules. After consensus has been
reached, staff will prepare a resolution to adopt Groundrules for Council action.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
