County election volunteers are stationed on the driveway entrance to City Hall
to collect ballots so people do not have to get out of their vehicles to deposit

2. UPDATE ON THE URBAN SERVICES INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
WITH WASHINGTON COUNTY
Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed the staff report and attached
information, which are on file in the City Recorder's office.
Mr. Hendryx reviewed the benefits of the Urban Services Agreement to the City:
revenue and control over development in this area, which is likely to come into the
City at a future date.
City officials will continue to discuss with the County Tigard's request that Parks
Systems Development Charges (SDC's) be collected in the urban services area.
County officials indicated the County might look more favorably toward instituting the
SDC fees if annexation of the area appeared likely. Staff is working on steps needed
to survey Bull Mountain area and Tigard residents about annexation preferences. The
County has agreed to contribute up to $5000 for the survey. Request for proposals
for a consultant to do this survey will close on May 22, 2002.
City Manager Monahan advised that Kathy Lehtola is to be appointed as Director of
Land Use 81 Transportation for Washington County. She will be invited to attend a
City Council meeting to discuss Washington County/City of Tigard joint projects.
Community Development Director Hendryx advised that the renewal of the Urban
Services Agreement would be before the Council for formal consideration at an
August business meeting.
Council and staff discussed the building activity in the Bull Mountain area. Tigard also
provides building services in King City. King City has approached the City for street
maintenance services and this is at preliminary discussion stage.

3. UPDATE ON HIGHWAY 217 STUDY
Planning Manager Barbara Shields presented the staff report, which is on file in the
City Recorder's office.
Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed the scope of study process.
The purpose of the study will be to refine improvements needed. The study could
take as long as two years. Council and staff talked about the number of studies that
have been done for this area already and the need to move forward. Once this study
is done, then an Environmental Impact Study must be performed. Partners with
Tigard in the Highway 217 Study are Washington County, Beaverton, and the
Oregon Department of Transportation; Metro will take the lead on the process. The
study will look at "value pricing technology," which sets up a system where users pay;
for example, an electronic toll system activated for certain traffic lanes during specified
time periods. "Value pricing technology" has been controversial in the past.
Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed the public involvement process
planned. A policy advisory committee will be formed and membership needs to be
determined. To date, Lake Oswego has indicated they did not want to be involved.
Council discussed possible citizen members including Jack Reardon, Steve Clark, or
Ted Spence. After brief discussion, it was determined that Councilor Moore will
represent the City Council on the policy advisory committee. Community
Development Director Hendryx and Planning Manager Shields will serve as City of
Tigard staff liaisons to the committee.
