Public Hearing No Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Discussion on Street Maintenance Fee working towards final recommendation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff will present the proposed Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) and changes to TMC based on prior Council direction. Staff is seeking further Council direction and next steps. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) is a charge that is paid by Tigard residents and businesses on their monthly utility bill. The fee is used primarily to fund routine maintenance of Tigard's roads through the Pavement Management Program (PMP). In addition to the PMP, the SMF pays for $100,000 of right-of-way (ROW) maintenance. The ROW maintenance keeps plantings and grounds around and in the medians of larger roads in good condition. Lastly, about seven percent of the fee is used to help pay for the cost of billing the fee. During the Council Study Sessions in January and March 2015, Council provided policy direction on key aspects of the Street Maintenance Fee. This policy direction was aided by outreach to the community through surveys and meetings. Attached to this Agenda Item Summary is: 1.A report that calculates an updated SMF based on Council direction and the proposed list of projects for the next four years. 2.Proposed changes to TMC 15.20 based upon Council direction. The proposed changes are in both a "track changes" form and a clean proposed TMC. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council can choose not to provide direction at this time,resulting in the current SMF being charged on the utility bills and no increase in the goal Pavement Condition Index for the Pavement Management Program. COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES,MASTER PLANS DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION January 27,2015 Study Session March 17, 2015 Workshop Attachments Street Maintenance Fee Calculation Report TMC 15.20 Track Change TMC 15.20 Clean Version Street Maintenance Fee Update — Draft For Council Workshop September 15, 2015 1 BACKGROUND 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE FEE The Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) is a charge that is paid by Tigard residents and businesses on their monthly utility bill. The fee is used primarily to fund routine maintenance of Tigard's roads through the Pavement Management Program (PMP). In addition to the PMP,the SMF pays for$100,000 of right-of-way (ROW) maintenance. The ROLE/maintenance keeps plantings and grounds around and in the medians of larger roads in good condition. Lastly,about seven percent of the fee is used to help pay for the cost of billing the fee. 1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The SMF was last calculated in 2009 based on the 2010 PMP,once fully implemented,the fee has been increased by an annual index. Council and staff have held meetings in January and March of 2015 to discuss policy issues around the PMP and the SMF as well as the results of public outreach regarding the fee. At the last meeting on March 17,2015,Council provided staff with key policy directions that permitted staff to recalculate the SMF. The purpose of this report is to document Council policy directions and show how they will impact the Street Maintenance Fee. 2 POLICY SUMMARY During the Council Study Sessions in January and March 2015, Council provided policy direction on key aspects of the Street Maintenance Fee. This policy direction was aided by outreach to the community through surveys and meetings. The Table 1 summarizes the key decisions. 1 1 Page TABLE 1—SUMMARY OF POLICY DIRECTION Policy Area Issue Council Direction Action/Impact Pavement The current PCI goal of the Increase the goal Tigard has a backlog of streets that are Condition Index PMP is 72-75 per Res# 10-01.

ROW program as well as the PMP. 2 1Pagc 3 FEE CALCULATION 3.1 EXISTING PROGRAM Tigard's streets that are maintained by the Pavement Management Program are divided into four categories. The cost of maintaining each category is divided between Residential and Non-Residential Customers by TMC 15.20.050. The allocation is as follows in Table 2 TABLE 2—DETERMINATION OF STREET MAINTENANCE FEE Street Type Residential Share Non-Residential Share Arterial 38% 62% -- - -------- -----------------__... - ---- ----------- ------- ---------------- Collector 50% 50% Local Commercial 0% 100% Local Residential 100% 0% Staff has assembled the next four years of the PMP for 2016-2019: The list of projects at the existing program level is in Appendix A of this report The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) adopted by Council as part of the FY2016 Budget includes $8,100,000 of PMP projects for 2016-2019. The list of projects in Appendix A is consistent with the adopted CIP with $8,068,000 in projects for the same four year period. When the fee was last calculated, the largest category of street work was in the Local Residential. This was largely responsible for the overall program resulting in Residential customers paying for 67°ro of the PMP through the fees. The projects in Appendix A reflect the need to work on Tigard's arterial roads. The result is that the Non-Residential customers will take on a larger share of the program,approximately 42%. Table 3 shows the share of the program by road type and the resulting customer shares for the program calculated in 2010 and the new program starting in 2016. The shift from Local Residential streets to Arterial roads is in bold. TABLE 3—COMPARISON OF COST SHARES FOR 2010 AND 2016 FEE CALCULATIONS Road Type 2010-%of Cost 2016—%of Cost Arterial 27% 44% _ _ Collector 24% 23°'o Local Commercial 1 6"0 5°'0 Local Residential 43% 28°0 Residential Share 67% 580'0 Non-Residential 33°/o 42% Share Under the current program,the SMF pays for two other cost centers. First, the fee pays for$100,000 in ROW maintenance. Second,the fee pays the proportionate share for the cost of billing,which can vary slightly by year and is about 7%of the cost of the program. Table 4 displays each of the costs centers in the current program supported by the SMF. Each of the cost centers are allocated to the customer types to determine the cost share for each customer category. Those costs are then divided by the number of units in each category: residences for Residential customers and required parking for Non-Residential customers. 3 I P ;< This is done to derive the Street Maintenance Fee that would be calculated without any change in policy or program.

While the cost of the 4-year program is the same as anticipated under the current fee,the redistribution of the projects needed in the next four years from residential streets to arterial roads results in a decrease of$0.82 in the residential SMF and an increase of$0.60 for non-residential SMF. 3.2 PAVING BACKLOG As stated in Table 1, Council is setting a goal for the PMP to bring the city's PCI up to 80-82. This will be accomplished by addressing a backlog of streets in need of repair that the current funding level supported by the SMF cannot address. The plan is to address the approximately$11 million in backlog projects over the next ten years. Appendix B has the list of all the PMP projects that would be completed as part of the current service level plus the backlog projects. In Appendix B, the added backlog projects are highlighted. Table 5 shows the cost of the backlog projects only when allocated to the street classifications. The resulting SMF calculation is the amount that would need to be added to the fee for the current program calculated in Table 4. 41 Page TABLE 5—SMF CALCULATION FOR BACKLOG PROJECTS ONLY Cost Center 4-year Cost % $ "i S Arterial - 38°° - 62% - Collector 203,000 50% 101,500 50% 101,500 Commercial 1,074,000 0% - 100% 1,074,000 Residential 2,254,000 100% 2,254,000 0% - Billing(7%) 247,100 67% 164,800 33% 82,300 Total 3,778,100 67% 2,520,300 33% 1,257,800 Annual Average 630,075 314,450 Units Residences 20,813 Required 39,723 Parking Fee For Additional $2.52 $0.66 Backlog Projects As shown in Table 5,the majority of the backlog streets are local streets for commercial and residential areas. The result is that the share of the costs is 67%paid by residential customers and 33%paid by non-residential customers. The fees calculated at the end of Table 5 will be in addition to the fees for the current program level calculated in Table 4. 3.3 ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY MAINTENANCE IN COMMERCIAL AREAS As stated in Table 1,Council has directed that the ROW maintenance program be expanded. Currently, the ROW maintenance program is$100,000 annually and is paid entirely by residential customers. Since the program was implemented in 2010,Tigard has placed an emphasis on beautifying roadways in commercial areas. This beautification includes requiring ODOT to place planted medians in Pacific Hwy and improvements along Main Street in Downtown Tigard. At this point,Council is recommending expanding the ROW maintenance program by$50,000 annually to be paid by non-residential customers. Residential customers will continue to pay for the current$100,000 annually. Table 6 displays the impact of the additional ROW maintenance on the calculation of the SMF. Under the new program,it is anticipated that the ROW maintenance will increase annually by the index with the other cost centers.

During the study sessions in January and March,staff informed Council that it was likely that the cost share for the current program level would likely shift toward the non-residential rate payers based upon the list of upcoming needed projects,but the extent of the shift was unknown at the time of the study sessions. Staff advised Council that addressing the backlog of streets to bring the PCI up to the goal area of 80-82 will add about 50%to the overall program costs and the fee calculation. Lastly,staff stated that the ROW maintenance would create a modest increase in the fee paid by non-residential customers.

Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 09/15/2015 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing to Consider Vacation of Public Utility Easement Adjacent to Ash Avenue Submitted By: Sean Farrelly, Community Development Item Type: Public Hearing- Meeting Type: Council Quasi Judicial Business Meeting - Main Public Hearing Yes Newspaper Legal Ad Required?: Public Hearing Publication 08/27/2015 Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Should the City Council pass an ordinance vacating 100 square feet of public utility easement abutting City Center Development Agency owned property on Ash Avenue? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approval of the ordinance to vacate the 100 square feet of public utility easement. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY As part of the Burnham and Ash redevelopment project, the City Center Development Agency is requesting the vacation of an unused 100 square foot public utility easement abutting the former dog park property. This easement was dedicated to the public for the benefit of Frontier Communications for a utility pole that was removed as part of the Ash Burnham street improvement process. The easement is no longer needed. Because the easement was dedicated to the public, a public hearing must be held to vacate it. The City Council passed a resolution on August 25th initiating vacation proceedings for this public utility easement. Utility providers and the adjacent property owners have been notified of the proposed vacation. Ads with a notice of the public hearing were placed in the Tigard Times on August 27th and September 3rd. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council could not approve the ordinance and not approve the public utility easement vacation. This would significantly delay the Burnham and Ash redevelopment project.

Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 09/15/2015 Length (in minutes): 30 Minutes Agenda Title: Preview& Update on the Library's Automated Material Handling Prepared For: Margaret Barnes,Library Submitted By: Norma Alley, Central Services Item Type: Meeting Type: Council Workshop Mtg. Public Hearing: Publication Date: Information ISSUE Update on the Library's Automated Material Handling System STAFF RECOMMENDATION /ACTION REQUEST N/A KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY As Council may recall the Automated Materials Handling System (AMH) was approved in the FY 2015 budget.After a competitive RFP process Lyngsoe Systems was selected to provide the system. The installation of the system required some exterior site work including the construction of a path up to the exterior patron return machine. The exterior station has lights and a security camera to facilitate returns in the evenings and when the building is closed to the public.The entire project expenditure including the modifications to the exterior of the building, the site work and the actual AMH system was approximately$300,000.00. The system has been fully operational for approximately 8 weeks and the public response has been overwhelmingly positive. Patrons appear to enjoy using either the exterior or interior returns. Historically an estimated 189 hours each week were spent checking in returned items. Approximately 90% of check-ins at that time was being done by volunteers. The completion of the task of checking in returns used volunteer hours equivalent to an additional 4.5 FTE. Prior to the installation of AMH it was rare to achieve the goal of checking in and shelving returned items within 48 hours. Within the circulation workroom we have witnessed a decrease in the backlog of items waiting to be checked in and items are being shelved more quickly once they have been returned. In a 4 week snapshot over 95,000 items were checked in using the AMH system. The system definitely improves efficiency of check-in. Thereby having items returned to the shelves more quickly for patrons to use. As with any new system there are also tweaks and adjustments required once the actual install is complete. This is the process that we are currently engaged in so as to maximize the efficiency of the system and effectively incorporate it into the daily workflow. The City Council will have an opportunity to visit the library and view the system in operation.
