know them — diev may be sons, daughters or neighbors. I-Ie asked about submitting a
proposal requesting financial support for bicycle safety. City Manager Prosser said
Tigard's 2008-09 budget process is beginning soon and proposals are due in February
or earlier.
Mr. Ballard said he is a cycling instructor and since he offered to give free lessons to
Beaverton's Cite Council;he extended the same offer to Tigard's City Councilors.
John Frewing, 7110 SW Lola Lane,Tigard OR 97223, said he had two items regarding
tree preservation.
1. There is a large tree on Burnham Road which is in an area slated for renovation.
IIe said he sent an e-snail to the City Arborist but that input from the Engineering
Department would also be required. I Ie requested that Council direct the City
Engineer to explore ways to save dais tree.
Mayor Dirksen said he will ask staff what can be done to save the tree. Cite
Manager Prosser said die tree in question is located in the nhiddle of the right
of War for die Ash Street extension. He said it:would be a challenge but die City is
currently looking at alternatives.
2. Mr. Frewing also coniunented on die Deed Restriction language required by die
Development Code to save larger trees. IIe is concerned that it is too generic. He
asked, "What does the term `existing tree' mean? Existing tree prior to
development? Existing tree after development? When the covenant is signed?"
I-Ie said a deed restriction tray be removed if a tree dies or becomes a hazard. He
asked if this means die deed restriction goes away for all trees initiall}=covered or
just die dead tree.
He also said it is not clear whether die reference to trees greater than 12"is a DBI I
or caliper measurement.
City Attorney Rarnis agreed to review the language. I Ie reiterated that the
measutement of caliper used is the industry standard. IIe said regarding the loss of
a tree, there does need to be some language so if a tree dies; die covenant has not
'been violated.
Councilor Wilson said that caliper is a nursery term used until a tree grows to
a cemgin size after which die term DBH is used.
Mr. Frew' asked if die City has to go dirough die sone review process when
constructing their own projects. City Attorney Ramis said a tree uiventory nnist be
submitted widh any land use application and the City must go through the same
process as a private citizen would.
Tigard Chamber of Coininerce Representative Marjorie Meeks updated tie Council on
recent activities. She invited Council to attend upcoming events including the Tigard

Community Development Department Director Coffee and Engineer Dumas gave an
update on transportation-relating project funding shortfalls. He noted that upon the
adoption of the 2007-200S Budget and the 2007-2012 CIP, Council and die Budget
Committee realized there would be a street project funding shortfall. He said Council
had been given a memo on October 15, 2007 detailing the project funding and funding
needed for the 5-year financing plan. I Ie said they are asking Council for action on die
iunrnediate financial needs; general direction on the short-terra needs and he also
wanted to mention the long-terra challenges.
Engineer Duenas described unrnediate needs and said most could be addressed with
reallocation of existing fiends. He said there will be a need for additional funding for the
Bonita Road/74'x' Avenue signalization. He said another key project is completing the
Com nercial Street sidewak I-Ie said some of the nnoney allocated for die Hall Blvd.
/Wall Street is available since the project didn't use what was projected. Engineer
Duenas said the City has a balance for tie Tigard Triangle Local Improvement District
(LID). He said the developer wants to go ahead so reinstating the funding will take the
project duough die prelininary report.
Councilor Buchner asked if die preliminary report would be completed this fiscal year.
Engineer Duenas thought it could come to Council in December or January, widh the
public hearing set for the second Council Business meeting in January.

Mayor Dirksen said conuiittnents have been made to nhove ahead with the Burn}hann
Street and Greenburg Road/99W intersection projects and these two projects must be
funded.
Conhnnunity Development Director Coffee said gas tax revenues are not coining un at
the predicted rate and at the rate die money is coming in, we tray not have enough by
the end of the five years. He said this issue will need to be addressed as part of the
short term funancing for Greenburg Road discussion.
Tvlavor Dirksen asked if there is time to wait to see if revenues reach the projection.
Engitneer Duenas said there is funding i1 place to do t1e design but right-of way
acquisition and construction will require revenue up front.
Councilor Woodruff said there was no question; voters were promised that we would
do this so they passed the tat. He also requested that staff identify whether the Tigard
or State gas tax is being referred to ui discussions.
Ing' cer Duenas said it nhay require snore spending up front on design in order to pun
down snore exactly what construction will cost but he felt tis would be better in the
long run.
Mayor Diksen said one possible option is go to go for a revenue bond based on
expected revenues and dhen go out agail for the actual shortfall. City Manager Prosser
said dhere are always issuance costs, which fluctuate, but if we issue bonds twice we'd
have to pay issuance costs twice.
Cotrununit), Development Director Coffee said staff would be bringing back budget and
Capital Investment Program anhenchtnents to accotrunodate the ihulnediate needs and will
identity the short-term financing for Burnham so construction can begin nett sunnnler. I-Ie said
the Greenburg Road project twill be discussed separately.
In response to a question from City Manager Prosser, Engineer Duenas discussed reasons why
the gas tax has fallen short. He said State gas tax revenues are also lower. He said drivers along
99W have more gas station options, such as King City, Portland or Sherwood. Mayor Dirksen
mentioned drat people are driving less.

rneasures pertaining to Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 6-flir, Water and Land
Resource Quality; Goal S — Recreational Needs; and Goal 13 — Energy COnseLvation.
Ile described the process which included a lot of con-imunity input through policy
interest teens. IIe said die Planning Commission held a workshop and a public hearing
on August 20, 2007. The Planning Commission made no changes to the
Fnvironinental and Isnergy Conservation Sections and recoinLnended a few minor
changes to die Parks, Trails and Open Spaces chapter, found u7 Attaclinient '1 ii die
packet. IIe said staff recommends adopting die Ianguage forwarded by the Planning
Coniiiiission, but based on die Mayor's request, staff also provided alternative language
based on die Council's Workshop meeting.
Assistant Coninhunity Development 1\Ianager Bunch expressed staff appreciation of the
many citizens who participated in tis process, as well as the boards and convnittees
involved including die Planning Cotntiiission.
Mayor Dirksen noted Council's appreciation of die effort and time staff and citizens
devoted to this comprehensive plan update.
)\-Mayor Dirksen asked if there were any proponents who wished to testify.
Brian Davies "12025 SW Sprin�vood Drive, Tigard OR, identified Himself as die
Chaitnnan of die City of Tigard's Park and Recreation Ad-,.=isory Board (31�. 1B). IIe said
all PRAB members support the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as it currently stands.
Councilor Wilson commended die PB—,0 for dneir endiusiasm which he said was
evident in die document.
Carl Switzer, 10310 SW Hoodview Drive, Tig.Ld, OR, said lie came to discuss Goal S,
and specifically wanted to address the citizen involvement towards getting a recreation
program in die City of Tigard. He said as the Comprehensive Plan update process
began the Policy Interest Team spent numerous hours debating what the City deserved
and wanted. IIe said he supported language recommending a recreation program in
Tigard and wants die Policy Interest Team language to be incorporated - not the
modified language as forwarded by die Planning Convnission. IIe said Tigard has a lot
of families and a need for recreation life never before. He said it is nota special interest
group, but a huge number of citizens supporting bringing a recreation program to
Tigard. He requested die conunents of the Policy Interest Team members be included
verbatim.
Michael Freudendial, 15533 SW Mason Court, Tigud, OR 97224, said he supported
Goal S and as an original member of die reconstituted Park and Recreation Advisory
Board wanted to support die recreation effort as described by the Policy Interest Team.
IIe said a recreation program in Tigard is important to livability in Tigard, which is a
major focus of PRAB. He said die recently opened Slate Park shows What is possible
when people work togedier. I-Ie said die PRAB voted unanimously to support die

original language and asked Council to reconsider die Planning Connnnission's changes
and fcvert back to the original language. IIe suggested that if issues arise, compromises
should be sought.
John Frcwing, 7110 SW Lola Lane Tigard OR, said he was generally in favor but had
sonic continents In opposition. He expressed concerns about the availabiliry of Council
nhecting materials on the website only seven days prior to meetings and said lie
experienced difficulty accessing some of the larger files from die Cit,'s website. I-Ie said
in die section on Definitions (G-1), die 100-year floodplain definition should be
expanded to not only include Fanno Creek and lower portions of Ash Creek and
Sumner Creek (PENLi1-identified 100-year floodplain areas) but should also apply to
any stream or any section of stream in Tigard.
Mr. rreNving said he was concerned that staff proposed Green Spaces, Open Spaces
and Natural Spaces be considered identical (G-4). IIe said they are three different
things and staff should be asked to distinguish between them.
He referred to page G-4 under tie term Municipal Separate Storm Pernhit. I-Ie said this
has to do with Clean Water Services and storm water and suggested dhat it should say
"Cit,innplementation" because the City performs a lot of the duties called for under the
MS4 Agreement.
I-Ie said the docurrnent defines Strcanh Corridor as something related to water quality
functions but that a Stream Corridor also Protects habitat for fish and wildlife. IIe said
he realizes fish and wildlife are not discussed in this section - which is about water
quality - but advised that as these definitions will be used throughout die document, the
terns Stream Corridor should be corrected.
Mr. Frewiig recommends die words, "Approved by die Planning Commission" be
included and that references to potential bonding measures not be deleted. IIe pointed
out that it says die City shall "consider"; it doesn't say the City will go out for money.
He said he lilies that as a citizen because it indicates how die Council will vote on .n
bond measure. IIe said die Policy Interest Teann wants di-is on the table for
consideration. He said it has been discussed for many, years and he questioned the
necessity of additional surreys.
I
Mayor Dirksen asked for a staff response to Mr. Frewing's comments on definitions.
Associate Planner Wyss said the 100-year floodplain definition is consistent with both
die State and Clean Water Services definition. Regarding die MS4 permit, he said Mr.
crewing was correct drat die City has an agreement with Clean Water Services but he
did not drink that changing die definition was necessary.
Mayor Diksen said the IGA with Clean Water Services may change someday and if it
does it would require die Comprehensive Plan wording to also be changed. He said
that as it is, "somebody" has to do it but we need to keep the Comprehensive Plan
broad enough to cover potential changes in that agreement. He said lie agreed with Mr.
l:rewing on expanding the Stream Corridor definition.

oclober 23.2007 g
Associate Planner Roberts spoke about Green Space, Open Space and Natural Space
defitutions. He said these terms are based on the Parks System NI-aster Plan wl-ich has a
part: t-rpe classification system. He said staff doesn't want to develop definitions that
differ between documents. He said Open Space is not defined ih the Parks Master Plan
but is most closely defused as Green Space and Greenway.
Mayor Dirksen noted that in past discussions there was an agreement in Tigard that
Open Space means an undeveloped area.
Councilor Wilson said it is difficult when reading die Tigard Municipal Code to
distinguish between public open spaces and private open spaces with easements and he
recorrttnended that this be addressed.
Councilor Buchner said defrtitions were developed by the Planned Development Code
Cotnuhittee and suggested those may be helpful. Associate Planner Roberts said they
diel look at diose but thought it more appropriate to follow the Parks Master Plan.
City Manager Prosser suggested that staffgo back through dle document and see how
the words are used because takiig them out of context during this sheeting may not
work within the document. Councilor Wilson suggested adopting the definitions last.
Mayor Dirksen asked the City Attorney if there is a legal issue widi terns being used in
different contexts.
Cit-, Attorney Ramis recommended that staff go back through the document and
ensure that each time a term is used it is in accordance with the technical definition as it
is written. He noted that colloquial terms may not be recognized in court, unless called
out each time as n colloquial term.
Sue Beilkc, 1-1755 SW 114°i Place, Tigard, OR 97223 distributed a statement to the
Council, a copy of which is entered as part the public hearing record. She said she was
<t member of the committee working on the Parks, Open Spaces and Recreation
section. She addressed the comments of the Platnning Commission and some of the
wording. She said in Goal 5.1, Action Measure "19, their conntntttee reconunended the
words, "Where feasible and appropriate male Parks,Trails and Open Spaces universally
accessible by as many people as possible." She said the conhnnittee felt parks should be
open as much as possible to the public but there also may be sensitive areas or wetlands
where the City, may not want to put a trail. She noted there ma), be species present that
need protection from the public. She said they want that language because it gives the
Cit-, the ability to assess each area.
Associate Planner Wyss said the Planning Conunission decided to take out words such
as "where feasible and appropriate" to make tlhis more of an action document.
Councilor Woodruff said he agreed that these words should be put back ih to give die
City, more flexibility.
Tigard Citv Council Mectin,Minutes
October 23.2007 9
Ms. Beilke recommended keeping in strong language about a recreation plan as well as
the language about a bond measure. She said the Natural Resources Inventory needs
updating on species and acreage in Tigard to reflect current information. She said a lot
of time was spent on definitions (Green Space xis. Open Spaces) and agrees that it
should be more consistent and specific because the same issue grill be raised in the
Natural Resources Section of the Cotnprehensi-krc Plan Update.
Jason Rogers, 11035 SW Sunimnerlake Drive, Tigard, OR, said PRAB voted
unanimrmously to support a recreation program in the City. He said he and some of leis
neighbors use Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District programs and pay Out-of-
District costs. He said their facilities are far superior to what can be found ill Tigard
right no�v and be would lil.e to see that level of program right here un Tigard. He said
lie supports the changes in the language however, the original language was there to
snake sure die Part:and Recreation Program.is there in the near future.
1\Iayor Dirksen asked if anyone else wanted to spear:. There was no further public
testimony. Mayor Dirksen asked for staff reconunendation.
Associate Planner Wyss said staff recormm-riends adopting the Planning Comrnmssron
recommendations.
Councilor Buchner asked if Council could address each chapter separately since some
chapters may be easier to reach a decision on than others. Mayor Dirksen agreed and
recommended that Council discussion begin on Goal G and Goal 13, with Goal 8 being
considered last.
Mayor Dirksen closed the public hearing at 9:0S p.m. and Council tools a recess.
Council reconvened at 9:18 p.m. and discussion resuuned.
General Comments:
Councilor Wilson recornincnded that throughout the document the phrase "educate
the public," be changed to the please, "raise awareness" or "inform the public."
Mayor Dirksen agreed.
Mayor Dirksen said there were places ill the document where it says "the City will
ensure..." which lie felt puts the City unto a position of guarantor. I Ie suggested using
the word "require" not "ensure." City Attorney Rams agreed this was a prudent
change.
Air Quality:
Page 6-4, Policy 7: Mayor Dirksen asked what this policy meant. Associate Planner
WNrss said the 1 tiviromnental Performance Standards are located in the Tigard
Comnminit}r Development Code Chapter 18.725 and their purpose is to apply the
federal and state enviromm-riental rules and regulations to development in the City of
Tigard City Council Heeling Minutes
October 23.2007 10
Tigard. He said flus means the City xvill change the Code to make it better than it is
now.
Page 6-4, Policy S: Councilor Wilson said he was uncomfortable with wording in the
Policy. He said the City may not have a huge influence on current neighborhoods but
could impact :teas subject to redevelopment such as downtown and other commercial
areas. IIe stated that the LPA and DEQ are already charged with regulating air quality
and separate regulations for lawnmowers, for example,arc not necessary for Tigard.
Councilor Buehner reported that laivnrnowers and blowers produce 7% of the air
pollution in the Portland metropolitan area. She said there is very little inforination on
flus given to the public or pressure applied to manufacturers. She said the vast majority
of lawn mowers are gas powered and the technology has not changed since mowers
were invented. She wants citizens to be aware of flus.
klayor Dirksen suggested the words, "The City will encourage environmentally-friendly
behavior."
Assistant Conununity Development Director Bunch suggested this section wound worn:
better as an action measure. IIe suggested the following wording, "The City will wort:
with DEQ to inforin citizens about how to rriodif, their household actions that create
emissions and reduce air quality."
Page 6-4, Action Measure iv: Councilor Wilson suggested changing thus to read,
"Identify underscived neighborhoods and fund funding to add transit service." E le
suggested taking out the mention of Tri-11,Iet.
Assistant Conununity Development Director Bunch said that would work for staff
because they want to reduce effects on air quality no matter who is providing the transit
Service.
Page 6-4, Action Measure ix: Councilor Wilson said he did not agree that die Citv
should be running a buyback program for wood stoves.
Page 6-4, Action Measure viii: Councilor Wilson said he preferred die term "light
trespass" instead of"darn: skies" regulations. Associate Planner Wyss said this section
was intended to prevent parking lot lighting where bright lights are going into
neighborhoods.
Mayor Dirksen suggested that the City research light trespass regulations in other
communities and consider developiig standards for Tigard.
Page 6-4,Action Measures ix and x: Councilor Woodruff suggested with taking out
these sections. Councilor Sherwood agreed.
City Manager Prosser noted the late hour and asked Council if they would be able to
consider Chapter S - Recreational Needs tonight as there were audience members In
attendance for that topic. Mayor Dirksen said Council would probably not be able to
"Tigard City Council Mecting Minutes
Ocsobcr 23,2007 I l
reach.a decision on Chapter 8 tonight. He suggested that Council continue the hearing
to November 27, 2007.
Water Quality:
Page 6.7, Policy 1: Mayor Dirksen suggested the word"require" not"ensure."
Page 6-7, Policy 5: Mayor Dirksen suggested the word"require" not"implement."
Page 6-7, Policy 7: Councilor Wilson said he would rather not refer to green street concepts
specifically because the cost benefit has not been established yet. He suggested leaving out the
words, green street"
Page 6-8,Action Measure v: Councilor Buehner said the City should not be forced to buy all
of tliese properties so she suggested language such as, "Develop a management plan to allow
for the natural function In removing pollutants..." Councilor Wilson suggested, "Encourage
property owners to develop a management plan..."
Page 6-8, Action Measure vi: 1\4ayor Dirksen asked, "Don't we already do this?" Associate
Planner Wyss said the Tualatin Riverkeepers reconnnended this language be added. Councilor
Wilson said he was not slue the City had the staff to do this. Mayor Dirksen said the word
"ensure" needed to come out.
Pagc 6-8,Action Measure viii: Councilor Sherwood said there is worn: started to build a day
shelter where homeless people can use the restroom facilities but she suggested leaving this
wording as is in case the shelter is not enough to address d>is issues.
Page 6-8,xi: City Manager Prosser said this item appears to have two items and rcconunended
diet/ be separated. Council agreed with this.
Page 6-11, Action Measure viii: Mayor Dirksen said that Washington County is considering
this but it may not be at Metro or state level, not the county level. I Ie suggested saying the City
will take part in considering this. City Manager Prosser suggested the wording, "Wort: widh
other jurisdictions un Washuigton County to consider the creation of an Office of
Sustainability."
City Ylttorney Ramis reconnnended staff return with this amended Goal 6 for discussion and
consider a vote on Goals S and 13 on November 27,2007. Councilor Woodruff suggested drat
Council receive a copy for review prior to the meeting.
