CCDA — Sean said other than real estate discussions, the main item at the last CCDA meeting was a presentation from the economic development organization Greater Portland, Inc. (GPI). Elise also attended the CCDA meeting. She said GPI was formed about a year ago from a merger of a private and a public economic development organization. Elise said Sean is Tigard's staff liaison to GPI. Their focus is on traded sector jobs and marketing the region to new and existing businesses. B. Art Subcommittee — The committee completed their interviews for the downtown art project and picked artist Brian Borrello. Mr. Borrello has done several large outdoor art projects in the Portland area; MAX station art at the Rose Quarter and Lents, the Sunnyside neighborhood, and Oregon City. Sean passed around the hand-out Mr. Borrello provided at his interview; photos of some of his projects (Attachment 1). He will be doing the art for both gateways downtown. C. Facade Improvement Joint Committee — Sean said the committee awarded a small grant for repainting to Wei Li Acupuncture and received a new application from Tigard Chiropractic Clinic and another from Tigard Cleaners and Kepler's Upholstery who are joint tenants under one roof line. A committee member asked if there were any guidelines for what color paint the applicants choose. Sean said Wei Li will follow the architect's recommended colors. D. PRAB-CCAC Joint Committee — The December meeting was cancelled. E. Details on the SW Corridor meetings and activities are on Metro's web site. The expansion of the WES line has been taken out of the study because of the cost of purchasing railroad time and the expense of adapting for all the railroad crossings. AGENDA ITEM #5: 2012 CCAC Goals Quarterly Check-in (Attachment 2) A. Sean said the public parking lot construction at Burnham and Main has been pushed back to early 2013. Sean handed out a flyer for an open house the engineering department had scheduled for the following evening to present the design plans for the downtown parking lot (Attachment 3). He confirmed downtown street improvements won't begin until there is parking for downtown business customers available at the new public parking lot. B. The city has a new six month contract with the Chamber to facilitate downtown events. This contract will go through the end of the city's current fiscal year. Developer interviews have been completed and the results will be presented at the CCDA and CCAC joint meeting on February 5, 2013. AGENDA ITEM #6: CCAC Input to City Council 2013 Goals The Committee put together the following recommendations to the City Council: 1 .

Take actions to facilitate the downtown Ash Avenue at-grade rail crossing by consolidating other at-grade rail crossings in the city. 4. Take actions to enable the development of city owned property in the Urban Renewal District. 5. Take necessary actions to complete the process of acquiring the abandoned railroad right of way for the Tigard Street Trail. AGENDA ITEM #7: CCAC Draft Annual Calendar (Attachment 4) The committee members reviewed the draft of the CCAC annual calendar and concluded the calendar accurately represents the key recurring activities the committee participates in each year. They will follow the calendar throughout the coming year and note any other activities they might want to add to it. AGENDA ITEM #S: CCAC Annual Retreat Discussion The committee decided to have one long meeting on January 9, their regularly scheduled monthly meeting night. The meeting sequence will include the standard monthly meeting agenda beginning earlier at 4:30 p.m., followed by a dinner, and concluding with their annual goal setting session. They anticipated they would adjourn at approximately 9 p.m. Tom Murphy suggested that the newly appointed CCAC officers who would be nominated later at this meeting, could be the ad hoc committee to put the agenda together for the retreat. Everyone on the committee concurred. AGENDA ITEM #9: Capital Improvement Plan Recommendations (Attachment 5) Sean presented the committee with a hand-out showing the results of the work the committee did at the previous month's meeting to prioritize the Capital Improvement Projects for the downtown area. He also included a brief explanation of the process to show the committee how their recommendations will be incorporated, along with the ratings from other city panels and committees. AGENDA ITEM #10: Connectivity Plan Update Sean told the members the Connectivity Plan had been approved by the Council the previous evening. The members were extremely pleased that this project which they have spent a significant amount of time on is moving forward. AGENDA ITEM #11: Nominations for 2013 CCAC Officers Elise Shearer was nominated to Chair the commission for 2013. Phil Thornburg was nominated for Vice Chair. Both nominations were confirmed by a unanimous vote of the members present. The election will be held in January. Sean mentioned he has an orientation packet for new members that Elise prepared. It is on disk. Sean will distribute it at the new member orientation. Current Chair, Alexander Craghead, was asked if he would be willing to come back to help with a Downtown tout i for new members and he said he would be happy to help if the scheduling works. The committee also acknowledged Chair Craghead's contributions as the CCAC representative to the art sub- committee. Elise Shearer encouraged Alexander to continue as a citizen member and artist of the art sub-committee. The members present all concurred.
