FROM: Planning Departmerit
SUBJECT: Study Session on Tuesday, August 29
DATE: August 25, 1978
The study session on Tuesday August 29 is for the purpose of reviewing
the:

2. Dra�t Economy Plan
Annexation Plan
You received a copy of the Dra.ft Annexation Plan las�t week, together
with a memo from the �epart:ment on it (plea.se bring both to the meeting) .
Since then. the department has receiv�d onP letter. (enclosed) on the

Planning Department rega�cding the general policy #9 (p. 20 of the draft) .
In view of those conversations , the Tiga.rd Planrzing Department p.ropos�s
the tollowing replacement policy :
9. The cities of Beaverton and Tigard should agree to the
following policy: "If, at some future date, the City
oF BEaverton contemplates annexation of. territory to
the south of Old Scholls Ferry l�oad, it wi11 first
not:�fy the City of Tigard so that potential boundaries
can be negotiated. By the aame token, the City of Tigard
will first notify the Czty of Beaverton iF and when
it contemplates annexation of territory north of Scholls
Ferry Road. "
Economy Plan
The dra�t Economy Plan is enclosed. This element of the comprehensive
plan is the product o:f more than one year of staff work, much longer
tr�an ani;icipated, primarily because of work with the citizen advisory
c�ommit�tee and an e�fo.rt in the spring o:f 1977 to co�duct a de�tailed
economic baue study o:f Tigard. That study required the close cooperation
o� �the local bu�iness community, which wa.s not forthcoming �r.om most
f irms , iricluding some o;f the largest in Tiga.rd.
The Metro Southwes�t Chamber of Commer�e has reviewed �he dra�t plan and
stibmitted the enclosECl letter regarding its recomm�nd�d po].a.c.ies. The
department i� preparing a resp�nse to the letter. In response ta its policy
suggestions, si:a�:� proposes the :following changes in the draFt policies :
