In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff, Mr. Frewing advised that he does not think the invasive species have been removed on the parcel being donated to the City from Ash Creek Estates. He said he's concerned about the cost if the City should accept; this could become a liability. 7:50:30 PM Eldon Tichener - Summerfield Civic Assn. and Pamela Warner, Administrator for Summerfield addressed the Council. Summerfield is a community of about 1700 residents. They noted concerns with SW Durham Road from 98s' Street west to Summerfield Drive. Owners are responsible for maintaining rights of way adjacent to their lots. Mr. Tichener described how this is difficult for homeowners to do because of the wall between their lot and the right of way property. As the City develops its budget for the upcoming year, he said he hoped the City Council would consider devoting adequate funds for the City of Tigard to maintain this right of way. There was discussion on the street maintenance fee, which was put into place several years ago. Initially, the City Council considered including sidewalk, street lights, and right of way maintenance. A variety of negotiations on what the street maintenance fee ensued. Agreement was reached to address the backlog of streets that needed repair/maintenance. After five years, the fee and what it addresses would be reviewed to determine if other maintenance needs could be added. The street maintenance fee has been in force for four years. Mayor Dirksen noted one of the difficulties is why would one street's right of way be maintained using these funds when another street would not. He agreed that Durham Road is an entrance to the City. Maintenance of the fight of way has not been included in the budget. It was estimated that it would cost about$174,000 per year to maintain the Durham Road right of way. 7:56:53 PM Mayor Dirksen reviewed the Consent Agenda: 3.
