The Committee approved the minutes of October 21, 1086.
Kathy reported on the November 5 meeting with Stefano Zigretti and Valeria
Johnson concerning the downtown projeot. Following the meeting, she felt
there is a lot that PSU can do for us . At issue in ''what does the City want
PSU to do?" Valerie sees the project as a long term one. We need tn
establish an objective for downtown, then PSU will determine what they can do
for us and what resources they need . To date, the City staff has Provided
data to PSU, we need to decide what the Committee involvement should be.
Discussion centered on the need for the Committee to focus in on what PSU
should accomplish for us . A smaller project, which can be accomplished by PSU
in a short period time, may be desired . Ideas such as a plan of what Tigard' o
downtown will look like in fixe or ten years, consistent signage for the area,
or another limited project which can be done which does not conflict with
future projects were discussed .
The Committee determined that a fixe or ten year plan is 6euirable. A goal
such an :
— Identify how we can gut people off Pacific Highway to downtown,
identify the obstacles, what attractions can be created.
— A defined limited boundary is needed .
— Evaluate the information gathered by the staff on ownership, assessed
value, occupants of building, sale prices listed, detailed
information on encumbered property, renovation plans .
Data ia available by lot and block for downtown properties . Duane discussed
the plans for several properties that are considering expansion.
John proposed that the Committee put in writing a proposal of what we expect
to be given to Stefano and the guidelines which we hope to stay within.
Susan suggested that PSU be advised that the Committee would like help in
these areas :
—Identify one goal for overall design — come up with
— a low cost option

— utility needs
— streets and bridges
*%W — renovation of buildings

model is made

place by June 30, 1986. City Administrator stated he was excited

recognition stage would involve the definition of the goal
