Richard said he would like to discuss the Saxony property development at a future meeting and would like to see as much residential use for this site as possible. B. Joyce noted that she is working with the Tigard Youth Advisory Committee (TYAC) to work on the Lending Library project along the Tigard Street Heritage Trail. They are meeting in January and all are welcome. 4. CCAC GOALS AND RETREAT PLANNING Carine stated that goal planning would take place in January,which will require additional time.After discussion,it was agreed to start the meeting at 6:00 pm and end by 9:00 pm. She encouraged members to think of ideas regarding what the CCAC would like to accomplish for 2016. 5. CCAC BY-LAWS DISCUSSION Sean noted that there are a few minor issues to be addressed. The purpose of this topic is to gather ideas on changes needed and the proposed changes will be presented for action at a future meeting. The required composition of the CCAC has sometimes been difficult to meet due to the lack of applicants meeting the specified requirements. Possible changes to composition include: allowing a designated representative member for a business or property owner whose business or property is within the City Center Urban Renewal District, allow a nonresident member if they have expertise in an area beneficial to the CCAC and URD, and allow a member from another taxing jurisdiction such as TVF&R. Other possibilities are to have a representative from a taxing district or a nonresident with expertise in an area to have a non-voting role. The Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee has a TVF&R voting member. Sean will research what other citizen advisory groups do. Another suggestion is to postpone leadership elections until the second or third meeting of the year. Page 1 of 2 CITY CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION December 9,2015 6. EPA BROWNFIELD GRANT LETTER OF SUPPORT Sean stated that the CODA bought the Main Street/Fanno Creek properties to redevelop them into public and private space and applied for an EPA cleanup grant. Part of the grant process is asking nonprofits,board and committees in the City for letters of support stating how they will help implement the project if the grant is received. If the grant is not received, the property will not be developed for a while. It was unanimously agreed to allow Carine to make necessary changes to the letter and to sign it on behalf of the CCAC. 7. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROCESS Kenny discussed the new transportation related CIP process utilizing the Strategic Plan to create a standardized project evaluation.This allows the City to leverage limited local money as a match to federal and state grants in a more organized manner with the matching funds set aside.The CTP process described on the City's website needs updating.The CIP will be updated every two years and a qualified list of projects for completion within the neat 12 to 15 years will be maintained and compared to available grants to determine their priority.Denny suggested inviting Liz Harman, Safe Routes To School program, to a future meeting. He also noted a new Urban Renewal Plan for the Tigard Triangle is about 18 months away frons a public vote. Sean will arrange a Tigard Triangle presentation at a future meeting. The Southwest Corridor project will connect the Tigard Triangle area to downtown with a bridge for pedestrians,bicyclists and pedestrians. S.

At the April 8' meeting the commission found that the proposed development agreement met the criteria for public/private partnerships developed by the CCAC in 2014. They recommended approval of the development agreement and urban reneival plan amendments to the CCDA. A letter expressing the endorsement was provided to the CODA Board prior to Board approval of the Ash/Burnham Disposition and Development agreement (DDA). CCAC commissioners also attended the public open house for this project.. CCAC members actively participated in the public Tigard Street llesitage Trail concept design sessions. Additionally, the CCAC reviewed the Tigard Street Heritage Trail concept at regular business meetings, snaking suggestions that were incorporated into the presentation to Council. After the city closed on the Saxony properties in July, members of the CCAC participated in the interview panel to select the team led by Resolve Architecture to study site suitability for public space and mixed- use development.A member of the CCAC provided input on the Saxony project goals at the hick-off meeting for the study.. The CCAC endorsed the installation of the Gateway art and implementation of the. finalized Gateway plans at the March 3,2015 CCDM meeting. Construction of the stone walls,landscaping,artwork installation and lighting were completed in the fourth quarter of the year. In 2014 the {CCAC investigated the effectiveness of development incentives and developed an incentive matrix. The Ash/Burnham DDA incorporated incentives from the matrix,including property tax abatement (VHDZ crane) and a SDC subsidy. A downtown Transit Oriented Development rate is proposed for the new city-wide transportation SDC. Recommendations to adopt development incentives were also incorporated into the commission's review of the Urban Renewal Plan (see Goal 3). Gaal 2. Support planning for Medium/Long Term projects Main St / Green St Phase 2 Qutcomes: Phase 2 of the Main Street Green Street is in the Capital Improvement Plan (C IP) for FY 17-18.The Commission continues to support the inclusion of the Main Street Green on the CIP and has recommended that staff identify additional funding for this project.The estimated cost is $2.4 million.A Metro grant will fund half,the source of other half needs to be identified. The CCAC incorporated direction received from the CCDA at the joint meeting in February 2415 regarding improving the view from Highway 99 into this goal. Ideas generated to encourage improvements through voluntary measures and visual examples of potential improvements were presented to CCDA at the joint meeting in October. Goal 3.

On behalf of the City Center Advisory Commission, Carine rezxdes -`Linn Pao Chair Vice-Chair 3 Tigard City Center Development Agency The City of Tigard's Urban RenewalAgency CODA M E M O R A N D U M TO: Chair Arendes and the City Center Advisory Commission FROM: Sean Farrelly, Redevelopment Project Manager RE: Agenda Item 5: CCAC By-Laws Review DATE: December 3, 2015 Section 2 of the City Center Advisory Commission By-Laws specifies the desired composition of the Commission. The bylaws currently state: 2(a) The Commission shall consist of nine (9) members appointed by the City Council who are residents or own businesses orproperty within the City Center Urban renewal District with the following representation if possible.- (1) ossible.(l) At least two (2) business owners orproperty owners whose business orproperty is located within the City Center Urban renewal District; (2) Five (S)persons who are residents of Tigard and represent a cross-section of interests of the community at large; (3) One (1)person residing within or adjacent to the boundaries of the City Center Urban renewal District; (4) One (1)person with expertise in real estate development, urban planning or design, or affordable housing (5) Two (2) alternates (non-voting) including one (1) at large resident of Tigard, and one (1) business or property owner from within the City Center Urban renewal District. There are two potential changes to the by-laws that would increase the pool of eligible candidates. One would be to amend 2(a)(1) to allow "designated representatives" of downtown business or property owners to be considered for appointment. Right now, a general manger of a downtown business (who is not the owner) who is not a Tigard resident would not be eligible. It has often been a challenge to find applicants who meet the qualifications and are willing to apply. Another potential change would be to create a new category that would allow a non-resident with a desired background to serve. For example, someone with a background in finance or development who is not a Tigard resident. This could also accommodate a taxing jurisdiction requesting representation,which is common in other cities urban renewal advisory committees. Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue at one point had been interested in becoming a member of the CCAC. In all cases candidates would still be interviewed by the Mayor and Council liaison and appointed by Council. These changes will be discussed at the next CCAC meeting. Please review the current by-laws to see if there are other changes that should be considered. Model by-laws In January the CCAC will be requested to review additional proposed changes to conform to the City's Board, Commission, and Committee Model By-laws.
